Chapter 430: Shenwu Fu Hu Bing
It was getting dark, and the noise of the daytime fighting was gone, and only the smell of blood and rancid stench permeated the entire barracks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thousands of people in a separate internal camp crowded together, or sat on the ground, or lay on the spot, during which there were ** sounds and curses from time to time......
"Captain, I see that this Yan army is strange. ”
"I'm going to die, if I am listened to by the swallow dog, Da Lang's identity will be exposed, can we still be safe?"
Both men spoke in low voices, and the reprimanded man, apparently realizing his negligence, bowed his head and confessed his mistake.
"That's what I said, it's all around us and our own family, I'm afraid that Yangou will hear it? It's just that it's spread out, I, Zhang Jia, was captured by the rebels, and I humiliated my ancestors!"
This bearded man who was surrounded by everyone in the center intentionally or unintentionally was Zhang Jia, the captain of the Jiangzhou private Jiazi battalion, and when he moved north according to the Qin and Jin military orders, he encountered a large force of cavalry of the Yan army, and was defeated by the lower subordinates, and he himself was unfortunately captured. It's just that he concealed his identity, so he was not taken out and tortured alone. Otherwise, Zhang Jia's fate will either surrender or die.
After a low sigh, Zhang Jia looked at the young man who had just lost his words.
"Tell me, what's strange about Yan Jun?"
"Yes! I thought that if the Yan army successfully counterattacked, it would be a strong soldier and a horse, but look at the moment, it is silent, and even the movement of soldiers is chaotic......
Before he could finish speaking, the old man who had just reprimanded him interrupted him again.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of Da Lang, are there so many elders in the clan who are not as good as you as a yellow-mouthed doll?"
The young man was reprimanded and a little unwilling.
"Uncle! Heroes don't care about age, Gan Luo is twelve years old and worships the prime minister, Huo Yao ...... Ah......h
"Beat you who don't know whether you live or die, what is the life of others, what is your life....."
The old man said that he couldn't talk about young people, and excitedly hit the young man with the cane in his hand, and Zhang Jia hurriedly stopped him when he saw this.
"Uncle don't worry, Qilang's words are not unreasonable, Yan Jun is indeed strange tonight. ”
Only then did the old man restrain his anger and ask suspiciously:
"Really, Shichiro isn't talking nonsense?"
Zhang Jia nodded, no matter whether Qilang's words made sense or not, he had to let this uncle's anger go down first, not to mention that he thought that what Qilang said also had some truth.
At this time, the man of the same clan who had been standing behind Zhang Jia suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Hey! As soon as Shichiro said it, I also remembered, before our brothers were called by the swallow dog to repair the stable, I had heard that the war horse did not unload the saddle and left in the middle of the night...... Well, there must be something quirky!"
The old man panicked when he heard this, trembled and said anxiously:
"Could it be that Yangou is going to sneak attack Jiangxian in the middle of the night?
The man smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle is dreaming of it, we are all captives of the swallow dog, if we are not life-fillers, we have to be coolies, how can we escape?"
At this time, the young man who was called Shichiro by everyone exclaimed, and then immediately realized that he had lost his temper again, so he lowered his voice and said:
"The Yan army is not going to attack Jiangxian County, but planning to escape at night!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jia asked:
"How so?"
"Attacking the city at night, how can you use a war horse?"
One sentence made Zhang Jiamao pause, and there was no need for war horses to attack the city during the day, let alone at night. It's just that the judgment that the Yan army escaped at night is too incredible, and the Yan army has always given people the impression that they are brave and good at fighting, brutal and ruthless, only they chase others, how can there be a reason to escape at night?
However, if the Yan army really escaped, wouldn't they, the captured clansmen, have a chance to escape?
I only heard that Qilang said eloquently: "I have noticed it during the day, Cai Thief has been fighting against the Shenwu Army with the newly attached army, and it is obvious that he is using life-filling ghosts to block the front, so as to alleviate the losses of his own lineage." So I dare to assert that Cai Thief will definitely leave these life-filling ghosts when he leaves at night this time!"
Zhang Jia also knows a little about Cai Xide's life-filling ghosts, which are basically the local unity soldiers and original armies of the Tang Dynasty, and there may be some temporary conscripts from good families. These people's loyalty to the pseudo-Yan is extremely low, and on the contrary, Cai Xide must not trust them, and Shichiro's analysis is reasonable.
Thinking of the embarrassment of the Yan army being attacked by the enemy on three sides during the day, he was a little more sure of the possibility of Cai Xide escaping.
Zhang Jia is not a local wealthy family who only enjoys wealth and nobility, otherwise it would not be possible to resolutely enter the mountains as a thief after being implicated in the court battle, and even become the leader of the Fenbei group of thieves in just a few years, these are not accidental, thanks to his extraordinary courage and insight.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jia made up his mind in an instant.
"Okay! Fuck it! I'll do it after half of tonight, Cai thief has escaped, the group of thieves has no leader, it's just for us to get out of trouble, no, it's a great opportunity to make a contribution!"
Those who were captured along with Zhang Jia were all his clansmen and cronies, and Zhang Jia's words naturally echoed.
……
In the valley of the Hushui River, a Tang army was hidden, and the deputy general Wang Ji stood on the top of the hill and looked out at the dark north, he received a military order from Qin and Jin before dark, and the Yan army would withdraw in the middle of the night, so that he could move. The night was already very cold in autumn, and the dew on the surrounding grass and trees had already wet half of his armor.
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset when he didn't see any moves from the Yan army barracks.
After a daytime battle, the Yan army contracted the encirclement, and the vast majority of its forces were concentrated in the northwest two directions of Jiangxian County.
Wang Ji's location is just right to see the situation in these two directions, once there is a change, as long as there is a little bit of fire, you can see it clearly.
He moved his legs, which were numb from standing for a long time, and the night was not destined to be peaceful, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.
"Lieutenant General, look, there's fire!"
Wang Ji suddenly raised his head and looked into the night, and saw that the void that had just been pitch black had lit up with a little fire in an instant.
"Scout the horse and ride, go and scout!"
At the same time, Wang Ji ordered the whole army to be prepared, check the crossbow arrows, knives and guns, and be ready for battle at any time.
Seeing the range of the firelight in the distance gradually expanding, Wang Ji only felt that the blood was surging, rushing straight to his head, and he had a hunch that something must have happened in the Yan army camp.
Without waiting for the return of the Tanma, Wang Qi had already issued an order for the whole army to dispatch, and the opportunity must not be lost and not come again, and he was unwilling to delay for a moment after the Yan army had an accident.
In the blink of an eye, the originally silent river valley boiled, and the five thousand Shenwu troops stepped out of the river valley and rushed straight to the Yan army camp.
……
The northeast Qushan Pass of Jiangxian County, here is a mountain pass in the northern section of the Hugao Mountain, and it is the closest and best road to take from the Jiangxian County to cross the Hugao Mountain from here. Qin Jin asserted that Cai Xide would definitely take this road, and Pei Jing personally led his troops to set up an ambush here, just waiting for Cai Xide to enter the city.
But until the second half of the night, there was no movement, Pei Jing even thought that Qin Jin's judgment was wrong, and just when he was about to lose his patience, Yamaguchi finally moved.
"The swallow dog is here!"
The return of the horse was a shock to everyone's spirits, and the dull sleepiness that had appeared due to boring waiting was now swept away.
"Calm down, wait for most of the swallow dogs to enter the mountain pass, and then cut them in two, and then eat them in one bite!"
When Pei Jing said these words, it was as if he was not planning a fight, as if he was discussing how to divide and eat a roast leg of lamb.
After approaching the mountain pass, the Yan army's march was cautious and slow, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, once they found clues, the ambush was afraid that it would turn into a forced assault.
Maybe it was because the Yan army fled eagerly, but they didn't find the ambushes of the Shenwu army all over the mountain, and entered the mountain pass one after another, Pei Jing saw this, and his eyes jumped with scorching firelight.
"Kill!"
With a killing, the dead night sky was pierced, and a rain of arrows smashed into the faintly flickering firelight dragon at the mountain pass in the darkness.
Immediately afterward, the screams resounded throughout the valley.
After five rounds of arrow rain, Pei Jing didn't hesitate anymore, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and roared angrily.
"All the soldiers of the army, follow me to kill the thief!"
His roar was answered in an instant.
Kill, kill, kill!
The Shenwu army ambushed on the mountain rushed down like a tide, Pei Jing waited for this moment for too long, he almost ruined the matter of Qin Envoy Jun several times, so that the old brothers in the past had a dislike for him, and now the time to prove himself has finally arrived.
Pei Jing kept at his feet, and secretly swore in his heart that this opportunity must not be missed, and whether he could completely annihilate Cai Xide's ministry was here.
Although the Yan army was well prepared for defense, it obviously did not expect the Tang army to appear so suddenly. Five rounds of arrows disrupted their already loose formation, and the ambush soldiers easily knocked them through as they rushed down from the mountain.
According to the battle plan drawn up in advance, the Shenwu army divided the Yan soldiers into four sections, and then rhythmically shot them with the Shenjian crossbow, and then pressed the pikemen to completely destroy the resistance of the Yan soldiers.
Although the resistance and counterattack of the Yan army were extremely brave, they still could not resist the arrows like rain and the spears like a forest.
Cai Xide's injuries suddenly worsened, and the pain was difficult to ride, and he was carried forward by his entourage on a soft couch, and suddenly encountered an enemy attack, and one of the entourages carrying the soft couch was caught off guard and was killed by an arrow. The soft couch lost its balance and fell to the ground, and Cai Xide also fell down with the soft couch.
The broken ribs in his chest seemed to be broken several more times, and the pain made it difficult for him to even breathe.
"Save ..... save me......"
The faint cries for help were drowned out by screams and wails, and everyone panicked to find a place to hide in order to avoid the shooting of Tang Jun's arrows.
Another entourage carrying a soft couch was not spared, he wanted to remove the soft couch that was pressing on Cai Xide's body, but he was pierced through his chest by a crossbow arrow, and he fell down when he saw that he couldn't survive, and he weighed heavily on Cai Xide's body.
