Chapter 107: Crossing the River and Attacking the Camp Arrayed to Fight
After a desperate decision, the retreating soldiers successfully retreated to the south bank, but only seven or eight hundred remained.
After Shang Qu ordered the soldiers to strengthen the defense, there was still no trace of the gods, so he went to the bridgehead and prepared to respond.
Seeing that the two gods had both fallen into the Wusha River, Shang Qu couldn't help but be frightened, quickly flew off the chain bridge, grabbed the two gods, turned around sharply and returned to the south bank, and hurriedly came to see Mang.
The two gods had died heroically, one had died of blood, and the other had a broken rib and died, but each other's left hands were still tightly clenched together, and it took a lot of effort to break their hands apart.
Seeing this, the gods could not help but weep bitterly. In the end, the bodies of the two gods were washed and wiped clean (there were thirty or forty wounds each), and two coffins were found in the town, and the burials were collected and put into the coffin.
That night, the whole army raised filial piety, the gods guarded the spirits, and the army of Bujiangshan was panicked and demoralized.
Seeing that the enemy army had been defeated and returned to the south bank, Qu Yanzhi did not dare to attack rashly, so he ordered the troops to be collected, stepped on the watchtower, and reported the battle situation to Qu Yi.
In this battle, although Zheyangshan lost Dong Mosuke and more than 500 soldiers, he also killed two enemy generals and countless enemy soldiers.
Therefore, Qu Yi was very happy and ordered a banquet to celebrate.
At that time, it was close to dusk, and the banquet was still being prepared, when suddenly the leader of the army entered the military palace to report: "The enemy camp on the south bank has all hung up spirit flags, as if they are fighting for the dead." ”
When Qu Yi heard the report, he said indifferently: "It must be a sacrifice to the two enemy generals who were killed, and don't care about him, just pay attention to prevention." ”
The leader said yes and turned away.
When Qu Yanzhi heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Father, this is a God-given opportunity, we must not miss it." ”
"A God-given opportunity?" Qu Yi couldn't help but wonder, "Yan Zhi, what do you mean by this?"
Qu Yanzhi suggested: "The enemy camp is handling the dead, and the vigilance must be lax, why don't we take the opportunity to sneak attack them!"
"This ......" Qu Yi hesitated slightly, "This is from the ancient saying: 'When a person dies, there is a ritual for burial'." Although we are an enemy country, we should also respect it, and it seems inappropriate to carry out such a sneak attack while people are mourning. ”
"Father, what's wrong with this?!" Qu Yanzhi said excitedly, "The two armies are fighting, and what they fight for is 'you live and die', what do you care about those stereotypes and bad habits?"
"Shaohutu is reasonable. This is really a godsend!" Nanmo said in response, "If we don't take this opportunity to defeat the enemy army, when they recover from it, not only will it be very disadvantageous to our army, but the golden passage may also be cut off by them." If the gold can't be transported to the Tiandu Holy Palace in time, and the night leaves Botuo to blame, we can't afford to bear the sin. ”
"This ......," Qu Yi lowered his head and pondered.
"Don't miss the opportunity, if you don't miss it, please ask your father to give an order!" Qu Yanzhi pleaded
"Please give the order!" Nan Mosuke tried to echo.
"Okay! However, the stakes are very high in this battle, and the old man must go in person, and you will stay here in case of accidents. Qu Yi finally made up his mind for the golden channel.
"My father is too worried, the enemy army is newly defeated, and he is mourning, his morale is low for a while, and the army is panicked, will he still attack our army? "Qu Yan branch road.
"Dahu Tu: This sneak attack can only succeed, not fail, so it is necessary to dispatch all the elites to succeed, and his subordinates are willing to follow and serve!"
Qu Yi frowned, was silent for half a cup of tea, and suddenly said: "Okay! In order for the gold to be safely sent to the Tiandu Holy Palace, the old man will gamble this time, you two quickly go and gather all the elite people, and cross the river with the old man to rob the camp!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Qu Yanzhi and Nan Mojie were overjoyed, and in response to their promises, they sent orders separately to prepare to cross the Wusha River at night and attack the camp of Bujiang Mountain.
Since Zheyangshan marched into Linjiang County, there have been several large and small battles, and in addition to the fallen soldiers, there are still five or six thousand troops, so the combat effectiveness is still very strong. That night, Qu Yi only left 500 soldiers to guard the camp, and the rest of the elite all went out to cross the river and rob the camp.
It was late spring and the weather was changeable. On the eve of the end, the sky suddenly began to rain like soybeans.
The soldiers of Bujiang Mountain, who were guarding the south bank of the chain bridge, hid under the piers to avoid the rain, complaining about the ghost weather, but they did not know that a large number of soldiers had already stepped on the chain bridge and rushed towards the south bank.
When the soldiers noticed that there was a change in the chain bridge, it was too late, and they saw countless soldiers shouting and shouting, jumping off the bridge from the dense rain channel, slashing with their swords, and grasping with their claws.
The soldiers were in a panic, and those who were cut off had their heads moved, and those who were caught had their stomachs broken...... couldn't parry for a while, and there were countless casualties.
In a matter of moments, the defense line of the bridgehead on the south bank was easily broken through by the soldiers, and all the officers and soldiers retreated to the Chinese army camp.
It turned out that the Chinese army camp was set up in a mansion only two shots away from the chain bridge, and the coffin of the gods was rested in the main hall.
At this time, Mang Ying and the other gods were guarding their spirits in the mourning hall, and they were in a state of mind and did not say a word.
Above the mourning hall, the white candles spit light, and there was silence, only the surrounding spirit flags shook the wind from time to time, and the sound was desolate.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the mourning hall, and a horse-headed god general rushed in, reporting with a panicked face: "Master Mang, something is wrong! The demons on the other side have crossed the bridge!"
When the gods heard the news, their faces changed, and they all stood up, but they didn't expect the demon to cross the river and rob the camp during the mourning.
Mang Ying was furious and said: "These demons are so cunning and dirty, everyone quickly follow me to fight!"
As soon as the words fell, Mang Ying hurriedly took the sword in his hand and walked out of the hall of the Chinese army.
Yinxuan, Shangqu, and Fu Gutong also took their own weapons and hurried out.
When I got out of the gatehouse of the mansion, I saw that in the shower, countless soldiers were like flies with broken heads and ants destroying burrows, panicking and running around. Subsequently, countless demons danced and shouted, leaping and chasing and killing.
Seeing this, Fu Tonggu was angry and yelled: "Children, don't panic! Men are here! Quickly line up in battle formation and prepare to fight!"
Several coaches arrived, and all the soldiers immediately had the backbone, and they came closer, stood in line, and lined up.
At the same time, the generals and captains of the left, center, and right armies had already learned of the news, and rushed to lead all their units to rush over, line up in battle formation, and prepare for a fight.
In the rain slanting sweep, under the fluttering military lights, the army of Bujiang Mountain set up a battle formation on the avenue, and there was no end in sight to the black pressure, swords and guns were like a forest, and thousands of beasts were gathered, so the arrogance of the soldiers was suppressed.
For a while, the soldiers who took the lead lay on the ground, holding a big knife in their mouths, shrugging their shoulders and shaking their hips, making a whining sound.
The follow-up soldiers followed closely, and when they saw such a mighty battle, they were all stopped, some of them jumped on the roof, grinding their teeth and cracking their teeth, some jumped on the wall, whining and screaming, and some climbed on the trees, waving their swords and claws...... They are all extremely vicious and bluffing, but they don't dare to attack easily.
Mang Ying knew that the formation had suppressed the demon, so he waved his sword and pointed at it, shouting: "Who are you demons?
Mangying's shout was like a tiger roaring and a lion's roar, shaking through the rain curtain, and even the dense rain feet in the night seemed to shoot out backwards.
All the soldiers were frightened, some took a few steps back, some looked left and right, and their fierce eyes showed a look of panic that was not easy to detect.
At this time, all the soldiers suddenly got out of the way, but saw Qu Yi striding to the front of the formation, there was Qu Si Zhi on the left, Nan Mojie on the right, and five beasts in front of him.
Qu Yi glanced at Mang Ying coldly, and replied arrogantly: "The old man and the others are not demons! These soldiers are also the old man's subordinates. ”
This Yangshan is originally in the extreme south of the Southern Wilderness, bordering the sea, although it belongs to the Wuwei Dao realm, but it is not really the land of Middle Earth, but the Tong people have migrated from Middle Earth to here, the customs have not changed, and the language has not changed much, so although Mangling does not know where Yangshan Mountain is, but the language has a bit of the old sound of Middle Earth, so it can still be understood.
So Mang Ying said: "Listening to your words, I have a bit of the breath of Middle Earth, and I should be a descendant of Yan Huang, but why did you burn down the ancestral temple of the two emperors of Yan and Huang and kill the mountain god of Jiang Mountain?"
"It's not a secret, the old man once heard the ancestors say: My Tong clan was originally after Emperor Yan, and lived between the Jiang and Han dynasties. This time, in order to thank Bei Jiguo for his great grace from Botuo at night, the old man came to this Wusha River and was ordered to collect gold and build a golden platform. The subordinates made a mistake for a while, burned the ancestral temple of the second emperor, and killed several mountain gods, which was really not what the old man wanted. If this war can be resolved today, the old man is willing to bear all the faults. ”
Qu Yi saw that Mang Ying and the other gods were all born with two horns, not like human beings, and there was a mountain of soldiers in front of him, endless and murderous, so he didn't count it in his heart for a while, and his words became very polite.
"Okay! Since you have the intention to resolve this fight, you must accept my two conditions. After hearing this, Mang Ying couldn't help but be taken aback, and felt a slight chill in her heart: It turns out that these demons are all people, no wonder I don't Jiang Mountain's divine soldiers and gods have suffered such a fiasco, but the gods didn't make it clear at the beginning!
Although Mang Ying's tone was tough, it inevitably meant to strike the troops and make a truce.
Fu Tonggu heard it clearly, and shouted in a hurry: "Master Mang, the gods were only killed by these demons, and the body is still in the mourning hall, so we want to make peace with them?"
"What do you know? These people are all tigers, fierce and ferocious, and should not be underestimated. If you can resolve this fight, it can be regarded as a merit that I have made for the hundred clans of Bujiang Mountain, you don't have to say more!" Mang Ying scolded in a low voice.
