Chapter 808: Xue Huan's shame

The rebel cavalry pursued to the south bank of Luoshui and froze, only shouting and cursing, occasionally using several rounds of crossbow arrows as a vent of anger. Bayi Chinese Network =≠≠.=

The river soaked his armor, and the war horse slowed down its advance in the water, until his feet stepped on the half-hard and not soft river beach, and Xue Huan freed his hand to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He casually went to see Qin Jin, but saw that people didn't want to have any mood fluctuations, so they just sat quietly on the saddle, staring at the south bank of Luoshui.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous, if the rebels take us one step ahead and block us on the river beach on the south bank, it's dangerous. ”

Qing Xuzi, like Xue Huan, also had palpitations, but the difference was that he pronounced his own speech. Xue Huan also felt that this Taoist priest's analysis was reasonable, and it was really not a wise move to risk his life for the sake of the general.

But I heard a general beside Qin Jin say:

"The doctor is here today, even if we are blocked on the river beach on the south bank of the falling water, the unlucky ones must be traitors!"

Xue Huan disagreed, this place was far away from the location of the main force of the Shenwu Army, although the distance was not absolutely far, but it was impossible to come and relieve the siege in an instant. Once he was forced to fall into a situation of encirclement, pursuit, interception, and no rescuers, he didn't dare to imagine the next consequences.

Although Xue Huan admired Qin Jin's courage very much, he still thought that Qin Jin's actions today were Meng Lang. Even if you want to understand the terrain around Luoyang in detail, you will not risk your life to walk through it yourself, which is rarely heard of since ancient times. Generally, the commander only needs to send someone to the vicinity to investigate!

"Doctor, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's evacuate!"

Although there was a Luoshui as a barrier, the water level and width during the dry water period would certainly not be able to stop the rebels from attacking. Now the only question is whether the rebels dare to chase after them. Apparently, the leader of the rebel cavalry on the other side of the river hesitated, and they were now only shouting and shooting feathered arrows meaninglessly.

Qin Jin tilted his head and said with a smile:

"There is still a good show that has not been staged, and if you leave now, won't you miss it?"

This rhetorical question confused Xue Huan and Qing Xuzi, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qin Jin's gourd.

However, Xue Huan and Qing Xuzi were both extremely smart people, and they immediately realized that Qin Jin must have a backhand.

"Could it be that the doctor has set up an ambush to ambush the traitor?"

Qing Xuzi has always said something when he has something to say, and he doesn't care much in front of Qin Jin, so he said it half-jokingly. Although it was a joke, it fell on Xue Huan's ears, and his heart couldn't help beating a few times. Could it be that Doctor Qin has always had a fearless drive, not out of self-confidence, but out of the deployment of the corresponding troops early in the morning?

As soon as this idea came out, Xue Huan immediately felt that this guess couldn't be wrong, it must be like this.

So, he immediately looked around, trying to find out where the receiving forces arranged by Qin Jin were.

But after looking around twice, I suddenly heard the neighing of war horses on the other side of the river, and it was a loud sound of killing, which was very unusual.

At the same time, the eyes finally focused on the south bank, and the rebel horse team that was still arrogant was chaotic at this time, and the rebel cavalry, which was not very neat, became like ants on a hot pot, and even headless flies scurrying around.

Xue Huan suddenly slapped his thigh and blurted out:

"The doctor's ambush is on the south bank!"

He guessed correctly, the ambush that Qin Jin had arranged in advance was in a mulberry forest south of Luoshui, which was originally prepared for the safety of crossing the river, and now it can be used as an ambush.

The sudden appearance of this ambush army really plunged this rebel army, which was no more than a thousand men, into complete chaos.

"Doctor, do we want to kill the horse pistol and join in the fun?"

Qin Jin shook his head.

"No need, I finally crossed the river, and now I'm going back, it's not interesting to do this!"

Xue Huan also immediately realized that he was overjoyed when he saw Hunting, and he actually made the mistake of slandering Qin Jin all the time, and he only felt that his face was really hot. Fortunately, he had a dark complexion, and did not notice the change in his complexion.

Qin and Jin in the north of Luoshui to arrange more than 20,000 soldiers, its main general is not the old Shenwu army family children nor from the Hedong clan children, the main general Wang Qi once after the fall of Tongguan to intercept and contain Sun Xiaozhe's rebels made a great contribution, he himself was also seriously injured in this battle, can pick up a life to come back, far beyond everyone's expectations. It has only been less than a year, and he has already led the troops to fight.

At the moment when the group was watching the battle, layers of yellow dust were rolled up from the northwest, and the sharp-eyed soldiers immediately pointed to the northwest and shouted:

"It's our Shenwu Army, our Shenwu Army!"

Under the yellow dust that covers the sky and the sun, there are battle flags of the Shenwu Army, and the flags with red and black as the main colors are more clear and eye-catching at this time, and they can be recognized clearly from a distance. Looking at all the flags, especially a general flag is the most eye-catching, embroidered with a refined king character.

Qin Jin smiled:

"It's Wang Ji who has arrived!"

Wang Ji is one of the few generals from a poor family in the Shenwu Army, and Yang Xingben and Pei Jing are not people in the same circle, but it is precisely because of this background that he is extremely cautious in doing things and fighting extremely hard. Because this is valuing the extreme Tang Dynasty, children from poor families often have to pay several times as much effort as the children of big clans if they want to get ahead.

Wang Ji jumped from an unknown ordinary military general to a figure in the Shenwu Army who was on par with Yang Xingben, Pei Jing, Lu Qi and others, relying on the tragic and desperate battle in Huazhou. It was precisely because of his fearlessness to death that he delayed the rebel soldiers for two days, and these two days of effort were enough for Qin Jin and Li Heng to clean up the chaos in Chang'an, and then deal with the blizzard that was about to sweep the land of Guanzhong with insufficient preparations.

"The last general is late, please forgive the doctor!"

Xue Huan carefully looked at Wang Ji, who was both reused by Qin and Jin, and was extremely low-key, and he had also heard some complaints about Qin Jin from Lu Qi, saying that many children of the family were born and died, and in the end they were not as good as Wang Ji, who was the head of good luck. Although the meaning of the words was not very obvious, Xue Huan still knew that there might be a boundary in the Shenwu Army, but this boundary had become blurred under the deliberate propaganda.

At the same time, Xue Huan also thought more long-term, Qin Jin light troops came, the significance of which is probably far greater than the role of reality, as long as this Wang Qi behaves normally in the next big war, he will inevitably be vigorously promoted by Qin Jin again.

Thinking of this, Xue Huan was a little faintly sour, and he even secretly thought, why wasn't he the one who was trusted by Doctor Qin?

In the depths of the above thoughts, what is actually hidden is the disdain for Wang Qi's ability, just like Qin Jin was born in a poor family, he must also want to promote the children of a poor family in the army.

However, Xue Huan's thoughts were quickly changed, because he actually felt something unbelievable from Wang Ji's words.

According to Wang Ji's account, the rebels, at least nearly 20,000 people, tried to make a detour from the north of Luoshui, but had to give up only because they were sniped by the Shenwu army.

"In a battle, more than 5,000 levels were killed, because the weather was hot and easy to rot, and the last general was afraid of attracting the plague, so he had ordered people to bury them on the spot. ”

Xue Huan was stunned, the credit of more than 5,000 levels of slashing was enough for Wang Qi to be a marquis, but he was just afraid of the plague, and just because he was worried about it, he chose to give up on his own initiative, which was really incredible.

Who in the world doesn't want to be an official? And the feudal marquis and worship the general is even more for the officials and generals to pursue and strive for, what kind of virtue and ability can this king be, should he really regard officials as dung?

Looking at Qin Jin again, he only nodded, indicating that he knew that there was such a thing, but he did not respond further. Obviously, in Xue Huan's view, this is a euphemism for not seeing the level and not admitting the account. However, Wang Ji didn't seem to be planning to get anything more from Qin Jin.

"Report!"

The tanma from the south bank of Luoshui has returned.

"The rebels have completely collapsed, and more than 300 levels have been slashed!"

Xue Huan was secretly frightened, this number of beheading was already equivalent to thirty percent of the strength of the rebel army on the south bank of Luoshui, and it was almost equivalent to a fatal blow to them in such a short period of time, and it was quite a lot, he asked himself that even if his cronies were here, under his own command, they might not be able to have this record.

Just a small test, Xue Huan felt that Wang Ji himself did have something extraordinary, and as for the previous slander of luck, he was thrown out of the clouds.

Now for Xue Huan, there is only one question, the enemy is currently about to send troops to teach Yan Zhuang a lesson according to the existing strategy, why did Qin Jin take the risk to come to the north bank of Luoshui at this critical moment?

In the past, he felt that it was completely redundant to set up troops and horses on the north bank of the falling water, and instead of leaving his troops idle, it was better to put them in places where they were more needed, such as the confrontation with the Dragok River.

After all, Luoluohe has a reputation, and with only the Shenwu Army that is comparable to his people, Xue Huan does not dare to say that he is more than fifty percent sure that he can win.

But everyone knows that this battle is a promise of victory and no defeat, and once defeated, the person in charge is bound to lose an unworthy reputation, which also means that the future in the Shenwu Army will also become bleak.

At this point, Xue Huan finally understood that the people who were in power in the Shenwu Army were never lucky, and there may be a factor of luck, but what played a decisive role was always the ability of the person concerned.

Xue Huan suddenly appeared, Dr. Qin has emphasized meritocracy more than once, these four words are not the scene in the mouth of ordinary bureaucrats, can withstand gossip, and vigorously promote generals from poor families, is one of the proofs.

Suddenly, Xue Huan even felt a little ashamed, he always heard people say that someone was jealous of his ability, and he didn't want to become such a character today!

In a moment of thought, a messenger from the Chinese army camp caught up......
