Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Evil Wind of the Lazy Army
The battlefield is always a man's mound.
On the Cochin Plain, the black pressed armor soldiers and halberds hit each other, and a crowd of nearly 40,000 people fought in the plain, the screams of the soldiers, the neighing of the horses, and the angry shouts of the soldiers had lasted for most of the day, but the soldiers on both sides of the war seemed to be tireless like killing machines without stopping.
A huge military formation operated in the middle of the armor soldiers, close to the large formation of a moon wheel shaped by 10,000 people, the moon concave array eye and the moon convex formation eye of the people and horses were converted to each other, and the attack and defense were carried out at the same time, and there were almost no loopholes. Liang Jin and Lin Han were trapped in the formation, eager to break the formation, but seeing that most of their subordinates were killed and wounded, their hearts were even more impatient.
"I thought I would really stay here today, but he was saved when he came. Lin Hanzong stabbed an enemy lieutenant to death with a wave of the silver-white brake spear in his hand, and then suddenly dodged the general's long knife, and laughed loudly, "Luo Yaohua, it seems that my life should not be extinguished today, although Pang Lu's dog array is powerful, it still can't kill me!"
Luo Yaohua said, "With just a few hundred people, what can you change?" Lin Han, if you know each other, quickly kneel and surrender, otherwise you will be killed by all the bandits in Wohua Mountain." ”
Luo Yaohua ruthlessly swung the long knife into a circle, straight and slashed down, but was smashed by Liang Jin's smashing horse, although it was not a big loss, but because he saw the rise on the chariot at a high place, he knew that it was Pang Lu who was arranging the formation and began to change the formation, so he rode his horse and withdrew towards the set position.
Liang Jin said, "This array is too secretive, quickly inform Brother Jiang Ming and let him join us." ”
Jiang Ming came to the rescue, that means that he is willing to ignore life and death, Liang Jin does not have to be a guest, and Lin Han will naturally not be a guest, just as he was about to shout, Jiang Ming said loudly, "This array is called the Glaive Array, you quickly lead the team to come with me, I have a way to get out of the formation." ”
Almost without hesitation, Lin Han said, "Okay, where is Luo Feng, bring all the brothers of the sixth battalion and follow the linen-robed man to kill." Where is Liu Guan? Inform the brothers of the second battalion to come. ”
Liang Jin also quickly brought people over, he trusted Lin Han, he would definitely support the decision he could make in this dangerous situation, he shouted loudly, "The rest of the veterans, escort the brothers out of the battle with me." ”
"Yes!" there were hundreds, but all of them were blood-stained.
Lin Han is in the middle of all the teams, and when he encounters an enemy general, he will kill him with one move, in terms of his marksmanship, as long as he does not encounter the masters of the seventh and eighth ranks, it is not enough to hinder him, because his subordinates have suffered heavy losses, all he can do is to fight as hard as possible, kill as many enemy troops as possible to reduce the casualties of his subordinates.
But he saw a spear flying in the air, heading straight for Lin Han's back, Lin Han was focused on killing the enemy, and he didn't notice it earlier, until the spear entered his own meter, he felt the sudden attack of that killing force.
"Not good!"
"There's me!"
Jiang Ming's halberd blocked the spear in time, and Le Ma stood behind Lin Han, facing the general, and said, "This person is handed over to me to deal with, you go to the front to lead the team out of the battle, the cloth-clothed Confucian who holds the sword was rescued by Songtaoling, believe him, he knows the way to get out of the battle." ”
Lin Han hesitated slightly, feeling the pain caused by the cracking of the old wound on his back, and said, "Then you be careful, the opponent is Pang Lu's general Zhao Shi, who is good at using the tiger's mouth and sword, and must not fall in love with war." ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Ming slammed the Fang Yuan halberd horizontally, and took advantage of the length of the Fang Yuan halberd to kill two soldiers of the Qin Dynasty casually, and Le Ma blocked the general's eyes. Zhao Zhi's face was cold, but he noticed that the other party's momentum was impressive, and secretly thought that he was not an ordinary person, and reprimanded, "Who is coming? I won't kill the nameless, and quickly report the name." ”
Jiang Ming kicked the saddle violently, and as soon as his legs were clamped, the war horse galloped forward, and he shouted, "Remember, my name is Jiang Ming!"
It was originally Fang Yuan's surprise to ten thousand horses, and since the war, everyone knows that there is a young general in a hemp robe in the military camp of Wohua Mountain, who is good at using halberds and martial arts strength in the eighth section.
As the victor cleared the battlefield and harvested arrows, swords, war horses and other spoils, the whole army seriously injured the enemy army with very small losses, which can be described as a joy, but their supreme commander Pang Lu was not so happy.
"Come, call all the generals to my tent. ”
Deng Zhun, Zhao Shi, Li Zhengxing, Luo Yaohua, and Lu Xingyang stood in front of the case with red faces, obviously they had all drunk, Pang Lu should ignore it, and said, "Lu Xingyang, what is the details of the linen robe general today, you can find out." ”
Lu Xingyang said, "The subordinates are still looking for news, but as far as the last general knows, the three princes of our Qin Dynasty were killed by a halberd, and that person is called Jiang Ming." ”
Li Zhengxing said, "I have also heard of this Jiang Ming, killing the prince is a big crime, but he is a member of the Nine Provinces Alliance, and the three princes crossing the border is a treasure hunt, and it is a loss first, even if His Majesty the Emperor has dissatisfaction, he has no way to vent his dissatisfaction, but he didn't know that he arrived here." ”
Pang Lu said, "Since this is the case, then he is an absolute enemy, he has no armor, no yellow scarf, obviously not the general of Wohua Mountain, but since he has helped the people of Wohua Mountain, next time the generals should be careful, an opponent of the eighth rank is worthy of our attention." ”
"Yes!" the generals responded.
Pang Lu said, "That's fine, in order to prevent arrogant soldiers, General Luo Yaohua is in charge of the defense of the military camp tonight, and send twice as many people to supervise to prevent the enemy from attacking, and General Li Zhengxing will change the guard in the second half of the night, I must see the two of you personally lead people to supervise." And also
General Zhao stayed here, and now you have fought with the linen-robed man, so you can tell me about his halberd technique. ”
The generals should be again, Luo Yaohua and Li Zhengxing suddenly lost interest and withdrew from the account.
Pang Lu listened to Zhao Zhi's talk while thinking about Bian Daocheng's mission, and he didn't reply for a few days, if he hadn't been rebelled, it was estimated that he would have failed the mission and been killed.
In the camp tent of another military camp, Doctor Zhou once again bandaged the knife wound for Lin Han, Liang Jin sat in the first place, Jiang Ming and Mu Ya sat on the side, the Chen brothers and sisters stood behind the two, and on the other side were several deputy generals whose strength had reached the rank of seven ranks, and Du Henghe, the deputy general of Liang Jin, who had previously stopped Jiang Ming and others outside the camp tent, knelt in front of Liang Jin.
Liang Jin scolded, "Why, since you know their share, why don't you let them into the camp?"
Du Henghe said in a panic, "Commander, the subordinates are just afraid that there are enemy troops among them, and the two commanders are not there, and the last general will not dare to let him go easily, and the commander can blame the last general for negligence, but I can't be convicted of dereliction of duty." ”
Liang Jin was furious, pulled out the sword on his waist and threw it, stuck it in Du Henghe's side, and shouted, "Du Henghe, this commander is too merciful to treat you in peace, and you dare to refute me in public?"
Liang Jin was already strong, standing up like a hill, it looked quite terrifying, he had always been strict in controlling his subordinates in the army, and no one had disobeyed his orders, but now it was his deputy general who committed it, how could he let it go?
"Left and right, come here with a thorn whip!"
At this time, a person suddenly knelt on the ground and begged, this is another deputy general of Liang Jin, named Qiao Ren, kowtowed and begged, "Commander, Du Heng is guilty, but the most should not be so, punish him with thorns, it will hurt his loyalty, and this matter is inconsistent with the law, can not obey the public, I hope the commander will take back his life." ”
Jiang Ming saw this scene, Fang knew that the law in the army came first, and Liang Jin, who seemed to be kind on the outside, was like a life-seeking Yama when he was angry, although Yan Yi led the army to cultivate a steel-like team, but it would also make his subordinates have a sense of awe, this feeling can be seen in everyone, but Jiang Ming didn't, no wonder the more than 100 people who temporarily obeyed him before talked and laughed in front of him, and the gods contained a special color, it turned out to be for this reason.
At this time, Lin Han interjected, "Liang Jin, the punishment is a bit heavy, and listening to Du Henghe's tone when he said this, I can almost guess the reason why he didn't let Jiang Ming and others enter the barracks." ”
Jiang Ming and Liang Jin were a little surprised, and put on a deaf look, but they heard Lin Han say, "Du Henghe has always strictly abided by military orders, but he is not a clumsy and unreasonable person, he stopped Jiang Ming and others, it is probably a kind of condemnation of my army! I am relatively loose in my control of my subordinates, and I will not pursue any minor problems, so even if it is the deputy general Luo Fengzhi, Liu Guan is also lazy, often laughing at others with self-emptiness, and Du Heng and Nature are not used to these things, I know that they have a very bad relationship in private, it is estimated that Du Heng and Jiang Ming are also regarded as my subordinates, so I want to give me a little ugly, Du Heng said to you, right?"
Du Henghe knelt on the ground, and he had been fierce in his words against his own commander before, but when he heard Lin Han's debunking, he didn't have a word to refute it, and Liang Jin, who knew him, knew that Lin Han had guessed correctly.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Ming was inconvenient to let Liang Jin punish Du Henghe, after all, it was not an unforgivable matter, let it go if he could let it go, and he didn't want to grudge with others, so he smiled and said, "Brother Liang, forget it, it's just some small problems after all, why make such a fuss, General Du is just a momentary anger when he thinks about it, and he will naturally not dare to commit it again after this incident, give me a person and let him go!"
Originally, it was Jiang Ming's face problem, Liang Jin actually didn't want to punish Du Henghe, after all, he was his own lieutenant general, and it was his prestige in the army that made the deputy general suffer punishment, but fortunately, Jiang Ming also said so, so he gave him a way, and also gave Du Henghe a way.
Liang Jin said, "In this case, Du Henghe, you will remember, if you do it again, you will not be spared." ”
Du Heng glanced at Jiang Ming gratefully, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness." ”
Jiang Ming said again, "Du Henghe's matter is solved, Lin Han, your problem should also be dealt with, let me suffer from the outside of the camp again, it turns out that it is the evil fruit you have accumulated, don't you still give some attitude?"
Lin Han said helplessly, "I understand, it must be dealt with, otherwise the atmosphere in this barracks will become worse and worse." His subordinates Luo Fengzhi and Liu Guan were shocked, and they didn't know what kind of punishment was waiting for them.
After retiring from the deputy general and the chief bookkeeper, Doctor Zhou also retired after treating Lin Han's wounds, leaving only Jiang Ming, Mu Ya and the Chen brothers and sisters, as well as the two leaders of Wohua Mountain, Lin Han and Liang Jin.
Liang Jin led Mu Ya to his eyes and said, "Mr. Mu Ya, thanks to you for breaking the formation today, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get out of the formation, please accept Liang Jin's worship." Lin Han was also about to worship, but because he was afraid of tearing the wound again, he only bent to show his sincerity.
Mu Ya naturally didn't dare to take it, so he said, "I don't have any credit, the glaive array has not been perfected today, I can see the flaws in it, so I tried to guide you out, if the big array is complete, even if a few more Mu Ya come out, it won't help." And in the next place, he is Jiang Ming's adviser, even if he has merit, it should be counted on Jiang Ming's head. ”
Jiang Ming also helped Liang Jin up, scolded Mu Ya in his heart, and pushed this problem to himself, and said, "Don't be like this, I don't have any position, and I don't want any credit, just wait for the breakoff of friendship if you push it to me again!"
Liang Jin naturally knew this kind of joke, and he didn't care too much, he said, "Thank you."
It's just two of you, but listening to Mr. Mu Ya's words, could it be that if the glaive formation takes shape next time, even if you are there, you won't be able to break the formation. ”
Mu Ya said, "The second commander is right, the glaive array is extremely extraordinary, I have only read it in some Qimen books, this array was originally the formation of some status realm cultivators, mixed with a variety of Qimen magic, extraordinary power can be resolved, if it is not for today's luck, it is estimated that we are trapped in it, and this glaive array is a living array, extremely good at advancing on the plain, if we wait for this array to be perfected, even if our defense is perfect, it can't be stopped." ”
Lin Han frowned and said, "What should I do? This formation is so terrifying, neither Liang Jin nor I can shake the foundation of its formation in person, let alone others?"
Jiang Ming asked, "Mu Ya, is there no other way?"
Mu Ya said, "At least I don't know, but if the enemy can give us a few more days to observe, maybe there is still a little hope." ”
When everyone heard this, they also felt that there was little hope, and Liang Jin felt that it was always better than no hope, so he arched his hand and said, "Mr. Mu Ya, then please, if you need anything, you can tell me directly." ”
Mu Ya also gave up his hand and said, "I'll do my best, but I'm not sure." ”
Then Jiang Ming told the two of them about the things they encountered in the Jiaozhi Mountains, but Jiang Ming naturally eliminated the matter of the ruins of the Liyang Dynasty, and the gathering of ten thousand wolves was also brought by Jiang Ming, focusing on the appearance and defeat of Bian Daocheng, but Lin Han heard some clues.
"Jiang Ming, aren't you sure if Bian Daocheng really left through the secret passage?"
"I'm not sure, I've investigated a total of ninety-eight corpses that were crushed by boulders, and there were only a dozen of Bian Daocheng's men left when he escaped. Jiang Ming pondered.
Mu Yadao on the side, "If he didn't go back, but sneaked into the mountains and forests, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find him, I also had Bian Daocheng enter the Wohua Mountain area of conjecture, but I can't find evidence, I can only say that this possibility is very small." ”
Liang Jin pondered, "But we have to be on guard, or we should tighten our fortifications, so as not to let these shadows lurking in the darkness have a chance." ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Then Jiang Ming introduced the Chen brothers and sisters to Lin Han and Liang Jin, and the strength of the two was naturally unsightly, but Chen Xinxue's appearance really surprised the two, and when they heard that Jiang Ming had already bowed to the two, their expressions also became a little stranger.
Lin Han quipped, "You are not behaving properly, you let a big beauty go in Wohua Mountain, and you recognized a sister as soon as you came out, and you are not afraid that Shen Yu will be jealous." He is still used to calling Shen Yi Wei Shen Yu.
Jiang Ming saw that Chen Xinxue was just embarrassed, and he was not too angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm afraid, but I can't help it, but you have been beaten like this, and if I don't come again, it will be too unreasonable." ”
Lin Han said, "Then why don't you bring her with you?"
Jiang Ming said bitterly, "The battle is a matter of life and death, how can you bear to let her stay in this blood-soaked place?"
Liang Jin said, "However, I still have to thank you for coming to help us, we are all our own brothers, so we are not guests." ”
Jiang Ming said, "That's right. ”
After being silent for a while, Jiang Ming asked again: "I don't know what happened to the grain and grass in your military camp?"
"As you might expect, we don't have much food to last for six days at most, and that's for the rest of us, and we've lost nearly seven thousand men and horses to-day, but we've saved a lot of rations. Liang Jin joked, "It's just that this news is known to Bian Daocheng, I don't know what he will do, we have sent someone to deliver the letter again, I think the messenger has arrived in Wohua Mountain, and the grain and grass are inconvenient to reach." ”
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, deep in thought.
Lin Han smiled and said, "Jiang Ming, if you come to the barracks to help us, I will always give you a position, otherwise how about you come to my subordinate as a deputy general? As for Mr. Mu Ya's resourcefulness, you can come to my camp as a deputy general and staff officer, how about Brother Chen Yiche and the little sister of the Chen family as assistants? But now naturally you can't transfer the army to you, so you can only be an empty general." ”
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I don't have any opinions, it's just to help you win this battle, in fact, there is no better position, so as not to be bound by military regulations, and become a deputy general as soon as you come, where can your subordinates be convinced?"
Mu Ya said, "I also think so below, as for which camp it is, it doesn't matter at all, it's just Xiaoxue's daughter, there are many inconveniences in the camp, and I ask the two commanders to order their subordinates to be more restrained." Chen Yiche and Chen Xinxue glanced at Mu Ya gratefully, bowed their heads and thanked them.
Lin Han said, "What Mr. Mu Ya said is reasonable, I will strictly warn my subordinates, if you dare to disturb Miss Chen, you will not be spared." In this camp, Liang Jin and I are the biggest, what to seal, what to order, we all decide for ourselves, they will give a whip if they are not convinced. The Chen brothers and sisters are not bound by military orders, even in wartime, they can only obey Jiang Ming's orders, if they don't want to go into battle, just rest in the camp tent, how about it?"
Hearing Lin Han say this, Jiang Ming and Mu Ya were also relieved, but although they were relieved, they were far from being able to relax in the face of this huge war, because once they relaxed, they might become food and merit in the mouths of the dead.
Jiang Ming said, "Then let's do it first, wait for you, I will go to the battlefield with you and explore the Longtan Tiger on this road." ”
The barracks were on guard, resting and saying nothing all night.
