Chapter Ninety-One: The Battle of Duobao
Liu Guan got up early in the morning to select elite soldiers, and there were not many sergeants in the six battalions who were good at both riding and spearing, but he still selected another one with the idea of excellence, and selected sixteen people from thousands of people, and it took him a full hour. Of course, his intentions were not because of Mu Ya's request at the meeting, but because of the instructions of the commander Lin Han after that, and he didn't want to cause any mistakes in this operation because of himself.
"The commander has always treated me well, Commander Liang Jin has scolded me several times because of my conflict with Du Henghe, but the commander has rejected his opinion, this kind of thing is more than two or three times, I will not be able to live up to the leader's trust. ”
Just as Liu Guan was about to go to the commander's tent to report the list of participating sergeants, a sneaky shadow came out of his eyes.
"Who is it?" Liu Guan drew his sword and was about to stab it, but he saw a familiar figure, it was his own brother Liu Wang. Liu Wangsheng is not as tall as Liu Guan, although he is a sibling, but his appearance is extremely short and obscene, because of Liu Guan, he can be a petty officer in the military camp to manage logistics.
Liu Wang put aside Liu Guan's sword with a smile on his face, and said, "Brother is me, don't be nervous." ”
Liu Guan snorted coldly and said, "What are you doing here, if you are found out by the commander's guards and killed, I can't control it." Liu Guan naturally knows that his brother's Xi is almost useless except for being a scoundrel, if it weren't for his pitiful job in the army, he wouldn't know where to fool around at this time, even if he saw him, he didn't have a good face.
Liu Wangdao, "Brother, it's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, and the money in my hand has been spent, so I want to borrow some from my brother." ”
Liu Guan shouted angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're going to do with the money, eat and drink, gamble, where is it like a man who is about to be thirty years old, if you want to starve to death, it doesn't matter to me, I still have important things to do, don't be a splash again." ”
Liu Wang smiled and said, "Brother, when I left home, my mother repeatedly told me to ask my brother for help if I had something, I have no relatives in this military camp and don't borrow money from you, do you want me to really starve to death?"
What Liu Guan couldn't stand the most was his natural demeanor, and he was furious in his heart, so he scolded, "If you don't change your habits, even if you have gold and silver mountains, you will eat them up, not to mention where I have money to lend you now, if you want to eat, just report my name at the cooking place." ”
After Liu Guan finished speaking, he was about to leave again, Liu Wang hurriedly grabbed him, and said, "Brother, although you refuse to lend me money, but I know that I have a good errand now, you can take sixteen elite soldiers with you on the expedition today, and there is no danger, and you can get three times the monthly salary afterwards, but my brother doesn't let me know, why is it?"
Liu Guan grabbed Liu Wang's collar, threw him to the ground, and shouted, "Although this task is a fat poor, but you also have to be capable, you don't pee and take care of your own ability, martial arts are not at all, riding and spear skills are useless, how can I take care of you? Don't say that you are my brother, even if you are the emperor's brother, no one dares to use you for such virtue." ”
Liu Wang got up and shook the soil, and said, "Brother's strength has increased a lot, I think he should be about to become a martial arts master, right?" Actually, I really want to go to this fat brother, first, to have more knowledge, and second, to earn some money, brother only needs to move some hands and feet on the list, and then when I go out on the expedition, I can switch with a brother, I think that as long as my brother is not embarrassed, other generals will also see your face and let me pass." ”
Liu Guan waited for Liu Wang viciously, and said, "It is a felony for you to know the list of personnel who have changed the armament privately, if you let the commander know, I will be finished." ”
Liu Wangyan smiled and said, "Brother is too worried, how can the commander care about my little person, as long as my brother is willing to do it, no one will definitely find out." Poor old mother, who is alone at home, does not know how she would cry if she knew that I was living outside. Alas!"
Thinking about it like this, Liu Guan really felt that there was nothing wrong with what Liu Wang said, at least this mission was not as dangerous as before, rather than letting this unsuccessful brother stay in the barracks, it was better to let him see the real war. Since he had made up his mind, Liu Guan said, "I can promise you, but you must also promise me that when I come back from this mission, I will not be allowed to go to the casino again." ”
Liu Wang was overjoyed when he saw that the matter was about to succeed, and he could agree to any request at this time, "Definitely, definitely, definitely not going." ”
The army set out at noon, Liang Jin and Lin Han almost took away most of the strength in the barracks, and there were two senior generals left, Liang Jin handed over the defense of the barracks to a person who had only known him for a few days for the first time, and he was quite apprehensive in his heart, he reined in the last of the team, bowed deeply to Mu Ya, who saw him off, and said, "Mr. Mu Ya, the military camp will be handed over to you, take care." ”
Mu Yayi bowed and said, "Don't worry, Commander, with me, as long as you don't come back, the military camp will not fall." I wish you all a triumphant return. ”
In a blink of an eye, the two battlefields, Pang Lu's letter detective also found out the big move of the Wohua Mountain army early, the glaive array has been fully arranged, Pang Lu stood on the high platform chariot in the formation with iron armor, followed by Li Zhengxing and other five generals with eight sections, he saw that the Wohua Mountain army was facing each other in front of the formation, so he said loudly, "Jiang surnamed Ma Pao'er, you escaped by luck yesterday, and now you dare to come to break into the battle, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and wolves." ”
Jiang Ming listened to this provocative words, but his expression remained unchanged and angry, and said, "Governor Pang is too worried, although Jiang Ming is young, but
Having killed the royal race and slaughtered the prince, he was not a newborn calf; although the sergeant of Governor Pang was fierce, he could not be called a tiger wolf, but at most a vicious dog. ”
Lin Han laughed loudly, thinking that having the advantage in tongue was the first point to win, and even the ignorant ordinary armor soldiers were laughing and laughing, even if they didn't know what they were laughing at. But seeing Liu Guan ask Lin Han in a low voice, "Commander, General Jiang Ming is also boasting too much, how can the prince be what we can see, I'm afraid that what the sergeants are laughing at is not just the metaphor of the vicious dog!"
Lin Leng laughed and said, "There are a lot of things you don't know, our General Jiang Ming is amazing, he really killed the prince, don't you know how the third prince of the Qin Dynasty named Qiutong died?"
Liu Guan couldn't help but recall the rumor that year ago, saying that the third prince was killed in a small town in the Nine Provinces Alliance, and the perpetrator was an unnamed farmer. But seeing Pang Lu's side, he became angry and uneasy because of Jiang Ming's scolding, especially Luo Yaohua was so angry that he actually picked up a big knife and wanted to kill the hemp robe, but was stopped by several generals, so he scolded angrily, "That dog thief is rude to this point, if I don't show him a look at you, he doesn't know how many eyes Lord Yama has." ”
Pang Lu shouted, "Stand down, how can the general in front of the battle be so ignorant, if you have the ability, you can scold back." It was a joke, but Luo Yaohua couldn't stand the excitement of others, and shouted and scolded in the battle, "Shameless thief, no guts rat, there is a kind of competition with me in front of the battle!" Jiang Ming shouted angrily, "Why don't you dare, are you still afraid of a reckless man?"
"Jiang Ming, don't ruin the plan!" Liang Jin said. Jiang Ming smiled confidently and said, "Fighting generals can boost morale, let me increase some confidence for the army, I know the measure!" Wohua Mountain was almost wiped out by the Glaive Formation, and after five or six defenses, it has worn out a lot of morale of the whole army, if Jiang Ming can get a beautiful battle victory, it can undoubtedly make this battle smoother.
Lin Han smiled and said, "Let him go, even if he is defeated by Na Luo Yaohua, he will not be defeated in a short period of time by relying on that Zhan Shi's ability, and it will not affect our ability to break the formation." Liang Jin had no choice but to obey.
However, seeing a general on each side of the party, heading towards the open space in front of the glaive formation, although Jiang Ming's immediate kung fu was not as good as these generals who had been fighting all year round, but with the rich martial arts images of Yequan, he was enough to understand the more proficient he was in combat. As soon as the first hand was fought, the spear in Luo Yaohua's hand was smashed open by Jiang Ming's halberd, compared to unilateral brute force, Luo Yaohua's spear was obviously completely inferior to the halberd, but Luo Yaohua did not panic at all, and hung diagonally on the side of the war horse along the spear, and when he was about to fall, he pulled the saddle suddenly, and he stabbed at Jiang Ming at a faster speed.
Fortunately, Jiang Mingzhan opened the style in time, supported the tip of the spear with the handle of the halberd and slid to the crescent blade of the Fang Yuan halberd, and then slashed the halberd horizontally to unload Luo Yaohua's power, narrowly avoiding this move. This time Luo Yaohua's spear bypassed Jiang Ming's resistance, and the tip of the spear was aimed at Jiang Ming's head, but Jiang Ming reacted quickly to shoot down with the halberd, and then Jiang Ming inserted the halberd into the ground, and kicked Luo Yaohua's chamber in the air with both legs, but because Luo Yaohua's fists were unloaded, the strength only made Luo Yaohua's shape swing, and did not cause a substantial kill.
It's the war horse that changes positions and kills, this time the two of them strangled the war horse, stayed in the middle and fought each other, Jiang Ming's halberd and Luo Yaohua's spear were intertwined with each other, and after fighting for more than 20 moves in a row, Jiang Ming finally opened again, and pulled a blow into the air, directly inserting Luo Yaohua's spear into the land ten meters away.
There was cheering in the army of Wohua Mountain, and even Lin Han and Liang Jin were extremely excited, they could defeat a master of the same martial arts realm in front of the formation, even the two of them could not do it just by saying it. On the other hand, in the Pang Lu army, the generals have already jumped to try, Li Zhengxing said, "Governor, Luo Yaohua has lost his weapon, and it is almost impossible to defeat that Jiang Ming, let me save him quickly!" Pang Lu waved his hand to stop, and said, "Don't worry, if General Luo Yaohua only has this ability, he is not qualified to be a general under me, he is the 'Duobao General' who was personally named by His Majesty the Emperor, and the spear is not a weapon he is good at, and the generals are optimistic." ”
Jiang Ming saw that Luo Yaohua had lost his weapon, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, if he could kill you, it would be the best, if not, he would also be seriously injured, so that the general in Wohua Mountain could have more chances of winning when he encountered it. The halberd stabbed out, but Luo Yaohua did not panic as Pang Lu thought, and directly blocked it with his right arm, the halberd of broken gold and broken stones was actually stuck by Luo Yaohua's elbow, Jiang Ming pulled it, and Luo Yaohua's cuffs cracked inch by inch, revealing the black iron elbow pad a few inches behind the elbow.
Luo Yaohua smiled and said, "This is the treasure that His Majesty the Emperor specially rewarded to my Luo family, which is made of medium-grade metal Tianshan cold iron, even if this is the lowest-ranked medium-grade metal, but if it is broken by you so easily, wouldn't it be a loss of face as a medium-grade metal." ”
Jiang Ming shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, no matter what metal you have, my halberd can break it with one blow." I saw Jiang Ming's left arm hit the halberd handle, and the halberd broke away from Luo Yaohua's shackles, Jiang Mingjian broke it in his hand, and stabbed Luo Yaohua's heart without saying anything, Luo Yaohua was also surprised by the strength of Jiang Ming's blow, and bent his arm to block, but saw that the elbow pad made of cold iron instantly cracked a thin slit, and the terrible penetrating power directly injured the meridians of his elbow joint, and before Luo Yaohua could react, the black halberd stabbed him again
This time he didn't dodge.
"Ding!"
Without the feeling of a sharp blade piercing into the human heart, Jiang Ming clearly felt that the tip of the halberd had pierced into a crack in the stone, and it couldn't go deep at all. Luo Yaohua smiled ruthlessly and said, "My Perblue armor is also made of medium-grade metal, and this material called Perblue Stone is much more expensive than cold iron. ”
Jiang Ming never expected that this Luo Yaohua would be pregnant with two heavy treasures, and immediately panicked, Luo Yaohua seized the opportunity, raised his foot and kicked the Fang Yuan halberd away, and then took out a miniature crossbow machine from the shoulder blade, and several poisonous needles on the crossbow, this action Luo Yaohua played superbly, knowing that the poisonous needle flew out of Jiang Ming, he realized the ruthlessness of Luo Yaohua's moves, but it was impossible to dodge, several poisonous needles entered Jiang Ming's waist and abdomen, and Jiang Ming suddenly fell off the horse.
Seeing this scene, Liang Jin and Lin Han hurriedly ordered the army to rush and kill, and at the same time, the two rode their horses to the rescue, and for a while, the glaive array also shrouded the army of Wohua Mountain.
Pang Lu saw that Luo Yaohua had succeeded, and hurriedly shouted, "Deng Zhun, Zhao Shi, Li Zhengxing, Lu Xingyang, enter the Glaive Formation, and kill the mountain bandits!"
"The last general will obey the order!"
The battle suddenly set off, and Huang Chen was stepped on by people and horses, covering the blood flowing during the fight between the two sides for a while, but the swords, guns, swords, and halberds that shimmered in the cold light were still cold in the eyes of everyone.
Luo Yaohua saw that Jiang Ming was hit, secretly rejoiced, and stepped forward to cut off Jiang Ming's head to ask the governor for a reward, but saw that Jiang Ming, who should have been poisonous and weak, suddenly turned over, pulled out the saber on his waist and stabbed Luo Yaohua diagonally, Luo Yaohua was unexpectedly pierced through his right arm, but at the same time, he relied on his keen reaction speed to distance himself from Jiang Ming.
Luo Yaohua was shocked when he saw that Jiang Ming had no signs of poisoning, and said, "How can you escape the shameless thief, you are actually cheating!" Jiang Ming picked up the halberd and flipped on the horse, and said with a smile: "You are allowed to use your secret weapon, and I am not allowed to plan it?" Now that your right arm is injured, see how you can still defeat me? Suffer death!"
Luo Yaohua was even more shocked, and hurriedly took out two black hexagonal spars from his waist and smashed them out, Jiang Ming recognized it at a glance, it was the black jade gold steel of the Qin Dynasty, which would explode when it collided with a huge collision, and Jiang Ming got a few after killing Qiutong in Huangshi Town last year, but then they were used up in several battles.
Jiang Ming knew that the power of Moyu Jingang was huge, and he hurriedly rode his horse to dodge, but a few sergeants from Wohua Mountain next to him didn't have time, and the terrible impact directly killed the three of them on the spot. And Luo Yaohua took advantage of this gap and fled quickly.
"It's cheap!" Jiang Ming sighed slightly, but seeing the battle between the two armies, Liang Jin and Lin Han rushed over with their men and horses, and shouted, "I'm fine, Luo Yaohua was injured and fled, we will break the formation as planned!"
Lin Han and Liang Jin were overjoyed, the two looked at each other, and then issued orders to break the formation separately. Pang Lu didn't understand why Jiang Ming, who was obviously injured by Luo Yaohua's secret weapon, was able to get up again, and injured Luo Yaohua back, and even many generals in Wohua Mountain didn't understand, but this battle kicked off because of this, the siege of the most powerful Glaive Formation, and the breaking army under Mu Ya's plan, which side could win in the chaotic battle, everything will be known in time.
According to the plan, Liang Jin, Jiang Ming, Luo Fengzhi, Du Heng and the four of them each led five hundred people to the four directions of east, west, north and south, and broke the formation with the operation of the large array.
"Boy, I don't know how you blocked General Luo Yaohua's hidden weapon, but if you want to break the eye of my guard, it is equivalent to blowing the net, and this blue steel long knife of mine has not drunk the blood of the eighth-rank martial arts master for a long time. Deng Zhun raised his sword and raised the wind, and the shield soldiers and armor soldiers behind him let out a roar of "kill, kill, kill", which was extremely terrifying.
Jiang Ming's war horse neighed a few times, and was a little frightened by this momentum, Jiang Ming hurriedly patted the neck of the war horse, and straightened the reins, his "Juejiang" thousand-mile horse was lent by him to Fan Qiong and Wuda, who sent a letter to Wohua Mountain, so he did not ride down, if the black horse came to the battlefield, it would definitely not be affected by this.
Jiang Ming said, "Brothers, just kill the enemy according to this morning's instructions, don't be afraid, we will not lose this battle." This is Jiang Ming's trust in Mu Ya's wisdom, and it is also his trust in his own strength.
"Go to war!"
Jiang Ming raised his halberd horizontally towards Deng Zhun to kill, and only when he dragged this martial arts master could his team move forward to kill the enemy with confidence. At the same time, in the east, west, and north directions of the three directions of the moon, the moon convex, and the moon concave, Liang Jin, Du Heng, and Luo Fengzhi also adopted the same delaying tactics, but Luo Fengzhi and Du Heng and Lu Xingyang and Li Zhengxing were all martial arts masters, and they were actually extremely disadvantaged, but there was no problem in delaying them for the time being.
And the four hundred light cavalry led by Lin Han were wandering around the Glaive Array, because the encirclement of the large array of troops could not keep up with the speed of the light cavalry, so Lin Han and his subordinates were almost unhindered along the way, and continued to harvest the lives of enemy soldiers everywhere. The banner commander who stood on the high platform cultivated by Pang Lu ordered the nearest team to come and kill Lin Han's cavalry several times, but he was broken through the defense line again and again, so that the halberd armorer who was responsible for the siege and killing was assassinated a lot.
