Chapter 118: Unifying the Army

The great armies were gathered together in the wilderness.

Densely packed with heavy armor and thick hats, the king's tent and carefully selected warriors approached the city.

The city was silent, there were no war drums and no noise, only rows of soldiers armed with heavy crossbows, looking out of the city with solemn and blank faces.

"That's it. A general in Pingyao City couldn't help but say, looking at the general beside him, "It's within range." ”

But the general in charge of the city's defense did not give the order.

"Not yet. He said.

No matter how close it is, it is difficult to stop the deterrence, and there are always fish that slip through the net, so that there are more and more opportunities to climb the city wall.... He glanced at the flag behind the general.

Healthy.

It's also a name I've never heard of.

"It's almost sixty steps!" said one of the soldiers.

Kang Nian waved his hand, and the soldiers blew the horn, the horn sounded endlessly, and the short and dull bowstring sounded at the same time, and hundreds of bows and crossbows were released in a row on the city wall, like a fierce beast with a bloody mouth spewing flames......

The flames tossed the Xiliang soldiers sixty paces ahead to the ground, like a fish out of the water churning, revealing a piece of white belly.

Xiliang's war drums stopped for a moment.

The next moment, the war drums sounded again, and the Xiliang soldiers in the rear rushed again with anger, and a new round of bows and crossbows on the city wall were wound, not in a hurry or panic, calm and calm, and when this group of people rushed closer to sixty steps again, it was another round of crossbow arrows.

So repeatedly, calm and bloody, made the generals of Pingyao City swallow their saliva, no wonder they had to mobilize all the crossbows and arrows, these crossbowmen were really powerful.

This round of attacks shocked the Xiliang soldiers and horses, but the crossbowmen alone could not stop the Xiliang people from attacking the city.....

The drums of war sounded on the city wall, and the closed gate of Pingyao City suddenly opened, and teams of soldiers and horses poured out....

"You're going to fight?" the general on the city wall leaned down in surprise, and the soldiers and horses pouring out of the city quickly set up in front of the city gate.

The soldiers and horses of Xiliang, who had just been strafed by the bow and crossbow, were not yet stable, and fell into a panic again.

There was no one on the battlefield waiting for them to stabilize their minds, the golden drum horn did not stop for a moment, and the army formation in front of the city gate rushed to Xiliang soldiers and horses.

......

.......

"They are not going to defend the city, they are going to attack our camp. ”

Standing ten miles away in the distance, Pingyao City turned into a blurred shadow in the sight, but he could still see the flow of soldiers and horses around him.

"They are only 50,000 horses, and they dare to face our 100,000? ”

"Why, Yu Shena, are you also scared like Lord Yeli?" said a general beside him disdainfully.

The general who was called Yu Shena laughed: "Then let's see how he scares me, a general who has been buried for many years wants to make a name for himself through this battle." He smiled coldly, "I'm sorry, I plan to do the same, I have been dormant for more than ten years, and it is also the turn of our Yushe clan to give gifts to the king." ”

From sunrise to sunset, the fighting outside Pingyao City never stopped, and the soldiers and horses on both sides rushed and killed several times, then retreated several times and then rushed again, which seemed to be in a stalemate.

But standing on the city wall, it can be seen that the military formation assembled outside Pingyao City is slowly moving forward.

.....

.....

The sun sets like fire.

With a pop, a spear sank into his heart, and blood splattered.

The spear didn't have time to be withdrawn, and the Xiliang heavy armor soldier next to him roared and swung his long knife and slashed.

But first, an iron hairpin whistled from the side and smashed his head.

Scarlet in the sunset.

Miao Miao raised her hand to wipe the blood on her face, and shouted angrily: "Qi Whoosh, can you not hide aside and kill people!"

Qi Whoosh picked up the iron fork, wiped it on the dead Xiliang soldiers, and said, "I can't beat it, I can only hide and kill." ”

Miao Miao ignored him, drew her spear and walked forward.

In this canyon, more than 300 people are fighting and fighting, every time the weapons collide, someone falls, Xiliang people or Great Zhou soldiers, one side wants to hold this canyon, the other side wants to rush through this canyon, there is no way to retreat, can only desperately.

Qi swished with an iron fork, watching Miao Miao rush into the formation as nimble as a fish, he raised his feet to step forward, and he heard a roar, a tall and strong Xiliang soldier of his three, holding a long knife and waving like a windmill, overturned the besieging men and horses around him in an instant, and at the same time the two soldiers were cut off by the waist.....

Qi Whoosh's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he held up a dead body on the side of the road to block in front of him.

There was a loud bang, the ground shook, the long knife collided with an iron hammer, dust and smoke swept around, many people shook and stood unsteadily, and two people like a mountain fought together.

Whether it was Da Zhou or Xiliang soldiers, they all retreated, this was a battle between the two of them, and no one else could interfere.

The loud sound of the weapon hitting continued, and the hammer in the blacksmith's hand smashed down, and the speed was only an afterimage.

There was no superfluous action between the two, only this stiff confrontation.

Bang, the mountain-like Xiliang Zhuang soldiers were overturned, and before he could make any more moves, the hammer that followed him smashed down, and with a bang, the long knife was against the hammer, and the stalemate, the sound of iron grinding was piercing, making the people in the valley can't help but tighten.....

With a snort, a streamer flew and pierced into the shoulder of the strong soldier of Xiliang, the strong soldier roared, the pain made him want to jump, and with a bang, the hammer finally fell...

The dust and smoke rose and returned to calm.

"Qi Whoosh, whose military merit is this!" Miao Miao shouted, "You just bully the blacksmith to be honest!

Qi swished and said: "If the military function survives, let's talk about it, and if it survives, let's talk about it." ”

Although they said this, they did not stop, and they rushed into the scattered Xiliang soldiers who had lost their leader, rushed through this canyon and broke through the defense line, and the city in front of them was faintly visible.

......

......

"What people!"

The general above the city shouted, leaning over to look at the group of people and horses that appeared under the city gate, about 100 people, the Great Zhou military uniform, and the military flag of the Great Zhou was also inserted, but it was not clear that it was the road army.

"Pingyao City is here, we are the Five Worm Army. Qi Shou shouted loudly.

Five beetle army?

The general on the city gate was stunned, this strange but familiar....

Unable to recall where this familiarity came from, the stakes were at stake, the gates opened, and the generals went out with their troops, but the soldiers and horses did not enter the city.

"You are from Pingyao City, have you already lifted the siege of Pingyao City?" the general asked hurriedly, "The Xiliang soldiers in the West Canyon have retreated?"

"Grand Canyon West, we took it. Qi swished.

The terrain there was dangerous and the Xiliang soldiers were fierce, and they couldn't rush past after several attacks, and they couldn't rush to the aid of Pingyao City.....

Ning Lanjun listened to the order. Qi shouted.

It's for them to support Pingyao City, and the generals are ready to respond.

"You go north and besiege the Wubao Fort, the Xiliang soldiers of Wulong Village. Qi Whoosh said.

Hey, the generals were stunned, they were actually transferred to other places? But they were only responsible for supporting Pingyao City.... Who mobilizes them?

"Is there an order from Lord Chi?" the general asked.

Qi swished: "There is a handsome order from Lord Du." ”

The general was stunned, which adult is this? Before he could ask, he saw Qi Wei stretch out his hand and hold up a token.

Ning Lanjun listened to the order. He said again.

The general looked at the token handed in front of him with a shocked expression, and subconsciously stood up straight: "The last general will be ordered!"

Qi Whoosh collected the token, urged the horse to turn around, and the group disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, and the Ning Lan army and the others were still standing in front of the city gate.

"My lord, is it Lord Chi's commander?" asked one of the guards.

The general shook his head: "No." ”

Everyone was surprised, how could they respond?

"It's the Bat Order!" the general said, and his expression became strange, "I saw the Bat Order?"

I haven't seen it in years.

"Is it wrong for your lordship?" asked one of the guards.

The general spat angrily: "Can I read the bat order wrong? I can recognize it even if I am blind." ”

Okay, the guards didn't ask any more, hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that the Bat Order didn't mean that Emperor Baozhang ordered it to be abolished, then we..."

To listen or not to listen?

The horses' hooves were so fast that several men galloped towards them, and jumped off their horses without waiting for them to stop.

"My lord, the West Rim is open. They said.

Sure enough, these people broke the siege of Xiliang, and the general looked into the night again, and he couldn't see anything in the dark.

"The Five Worm Army...", one of the lieutenant generals muttered, and then his voice was raised, "It's the Five Worm Army!"

Everyone looked back at him, and the lieutenant was already excited.

"My lord, it's the Five Worm Army! The Five Worm Army is back!"

"Have you forgotten, that five beetle army! That five beetle flag exhibition, the way to life is open! It's them!"

The Five Worm Army..... The general's memory was awakened, and his expression changed.

......

......

The darkness of the wilderness was out of sight, and the sound of Suosuo's footsteps sneaking around, the horse's hooves wrapped in animal skins, and the night ahead suddenly brightened.

The footsteps of the advance also stopped.

"My lord, do you really want to attack the camp of the Xiliang soldiers?" a low voice sounded.

The night was surging in the ravine, and a general raised his head and said, "There is a bat order."

"But that Lord Du is not Master Chi..."The adjutant general said in a low voice, "What's more, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this Xiliang barracks, and we have three thousand..."

Didn't you come to die?

Why was the general really moved by those people with a flag and a token?

I'm crazy.

The Bat Order is one reason, and the other is the flag.

The general looked ahead, the camp with sparks lit up, and the darkness obscured his changing expression.

"Because, it was the Five Worm Army that said it could be done. He muttered, "Back then..."

At that time, as long as the five beetle army gave the order, the city would be broken, the camp would be attacked, the camp would be chaotic, and the road ahead would be unstoppable, and the road back would be worry-free.

The spark in front of him suddenly burned, and thick white smoke rose from the dark night, swaying and churning with the wind of the summer night..... At the same time, there was a commotion, sent in the dark night.

This is the signal that is agreed.

Now the signal is here!

The general's hand grabbed the grass in the ravine, and then he pulled it down, and the man jumped up.

"Attack the camp!" he shouted, and the man rushed forward, and the next moment he was held by the lieutenant.

"Grown-up, slow.." The adjutant shouted.

The general threw off the lieutenant general, the war drums had already sounded, the horn had torn the night, it was time for revenge, the arrow had to be sent, Hugh wanted to stop him.

"Your Excellency, you didn't have a scarf with you. The lieutenant shouted, handing over a wet cloth.

When the five beetles came to give the order, they ordered that they should cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth when attacking the camp.

The general hurriedly took the wrap and rushed towards the sparkling camp under the support of the soldiers, shouting and killing sounded everywhere in the wilderness, the fire was everywhere, and the sentries on the high part of the Xiliang camp fell from above, and there was chaos.

......

......

The scorching sun was scorching, and Suo Shengxuan stood outside the tent, but he couldn't take a step, because there were seven or eight generals kneeling in front of him.

They were extremely respectful, their faces pressed against the ground.

"Your Highness, we are guilty. ”

"Your Highness, please, pull out the camp. ”

Suo Shengxuan's face was still smiling, and he said, "How can you pull out the camp." "Lift your feet.

A stout general kneeling at his feet was actually kicked and rolled down and hit the camp tent, and fainted without saying a word, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Kneel if you want, I haven't confronted Lord Nadu yet. Suo Shengxuan said, stretching out his hand, "Take my drape." ”

Although the rest of the generals who knelt on the ground were pale, they still did not let go, and put their faces on the ground and prostrate.

"Your Highness, Na Tu is not waiting for reinforcements to attack us. ”

"He's sending troops and cutting us off. ”

Another general got up and crawled in front of Suo Shengxuan, and said, "Your Highness, now that the Zhou soldiers on the entire border are alive, our rear has been besieged, and we won't be able to get out if we don't pull out the camp." ”

Suo Shengxuan said: "Does he want to fight me to the death? Why should we be afraid of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he has not taken advantage of it for so long." ”

But he didn't suffer either, that's the most terrible thing.

"Your Highness, we are being targeted by a poisonous snake. They said, "Do not fight with him." ”

Suo Shengxuan said with a smile: "You used to laugh at the wild lord, but now that you have only been fighting for ten days, you have been frightened by Lord Nadu. ”

What else did the generals have to say, the horn sounded, and everyone changed, it was Zhou Bing who called again.

"Fight. Suo Shengxuan kicked one of the generals in front of him away again and shouted loudly.

.....

.....

The marching soldiers and horses were fast, but the formation was still inflamed, like a great river embankment swinging out on the wilderness.

A rain of arrows poured out from behind the embankment, swooping down on the oncoming Xiliang soldiers and horses like flying locusts.

Powerful and accurate bows and arrows pierced the armor of men and horses, and men turned on their backs.

The pace of progress was stopped, and it was simply impossible to break through this line of defense.

The sound of war drums, the winged armies on both sides have been attacked three times, and there is still no way to bypass the military formation, which is as strong as a wall, and changes with the sound of drums, as flexible as a long snake.

What's worse is that the last time they attacked and invaded, a group of soldiers used heavy iron forks to cut a ravine on the ground, a night rain washed, a day of sunlight, the ravine became dense on the wilderness, like an iron net, Xiliang soldiers and horses had to slow down.....

The drums beat, and the head of the slowing vanguard flew another rain of arrows.

I don't know how many times the impact has been, but the distance from the Zhou soldiers' large array is still out of reach, and the cavalry on both sides is like a spear pierced out one by one.... See the blood and return, and so on.

This skillful military formation, tactics, and brave elites constantly hit the generals who watched the battle, and the flag fluttering in the distance was unprecedentedly clear in the line of sight.

"They're going to trap us here. ”

"A little bit of their advancement is consuming us!"

"If our future grain and grass are cut off, we will die. ”

The noise rang out again.

Suo Shengxuan didn't care, but stood on a high place and looked at the flag, looking eager to try.

"I'm going to kill the past and fight with Lord Nadu. His eyes lit up.

"Your Highness. The generals' faces were as pale as earth, "This battle of the army is not the time for one person to be brave. ”

"Can't I kill it?" Suo Sheng Xuandao looked displeased.

The generals were shocked, knelt down and said: "Your Highness can naturally kill him, but Na Du will not fight against His Highness, he will only hide behind thousands of troops." ”

The rest of the words are not said, of course, this is not because he is as timid as a mouse, but because the commander cannot be brave.

What was Suo Shengxuan about to say, there were soldiers and horses galloping from behind, crawling and falling down, and being rushed to support by others, his body was scarred, which was shocking.....

It's not that I feel sorry for this scout, but I'm shocked that the rear has been surrounded by Zhou soldiers and is under martial law.

"Your Highness. The scout tried his best to hold up a piece of animal skin, "The king, the king wants you to retreat." ”

.....

.....

"If it's Atsushi who comes, then you should come back first. ”

The words of King Xiliang on the animal skin were simple.

Although there is no mention of the past and evaluation in half a sentence, this is enough to prove that King Xiliang knows this person and knows this person.

Suo Shengxuan was very dissatisfied: "My father is really too timid, why should he withdraw from the army, even if he loses, he will make peace, anyway, the Zhou people like to make peace." ”

"That was before, and now the Great Zhou is not a heroic emperor and a brave general. A general, with the order of King Xiliang, spoke a lot harder, knelt on the ground, "Please Your Highness quickly withdraw the troops." ”

Suo Shengxuan shook his sleeves angrily.

"It's so boring!

......

......

When twilight fell, a group of soldiers and horses stopped, and the soldiers quickly and skillfully built the camp, and a general in the main tent sat down with a tired face.

"How's the war going now?" he said, taking the kettle from his own soldiers, "I haven't received a military report for five days." ”

The camp was full of generals and officials.

"Lord Chi, please rest assured. ”

"The soldiers and horses of Xiliang have not yet crossed Pingyao City. ”

"The order to transfer the defense has been sent out, and the Baoshan army is ahead, and they have been ordered to come to greet them. ”

The voice in the tent was noisy, and the general's tired face eased slightly, and said: "Xiliang children are hateful, I will not let them go this time." ”

The crowd shouted in a loud voice, Your Excellency is wise.

Someone rushed in from outside the door, interrupting the bustle.

"Your Excellency. Ling Bing knelt on the ground, his face flushed and his expression frightened.

"What's wrong?" said a general, frowning, recognizing it as the messenger, "Is the Baoshan Army coming?"

"My lord, the Baoshan Army refuses to listen to orders. The soldiers said hurriedly.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the tent.

"What?"

Before the question began, another soldier rushed in and knelt on the ground.

"My lord, the Wasion Army refuses to obey orders. ”

One after another, the soldiers rushed in, and there was a dead silence in the main tent.

Chi Hou, who sat behind a few cases, had a gloomy face and put down the kettle.

"They refuse to listen to the order, who is the order?" he said in a deep voice.

......

......

There was a loud bang, and the soldiers and horses who had entered the camp and were galloping stopped in front of the tent, and the soldiers on it looked a little arrogant, looking condescendingly at Chi Hou, who came out.

Chi Hou looked at the flag planted behind the soldier.

The big beetle on it is dazzling.

Beetles, worms, his hand hanging at his side clenched.

"How bold!" he shouted, "You dare to steal our Western Army!

The soldier general was not afraid, nor angry, but said: "Master Chi, be humane, it is Qin Tangong who has abandoned the Bat Order." "Jump off the horse," Lord Du is now on the orders of Emperor Baozhang, and it is the bat order given by Emperor Baozhang. He stood in front of Chi Hou and looked at this general who was taller and more powerful than himself, "Dare to ask who Lord Chi is ordering?"

On the orders of Qin Tangong, that is a traitor.

On the orders of Emperor Baozhang, he must bow down and obey his orders.

Chi Hou's face changed like a cloud, looking at this little soldier who was a head shorter than himself.

Western Army, stolen.

That, tuk!

......

......

"Lord Du is mighty!"

There was a cheer in the room.

Xue Qing put down the paperwork in his hand, looked at General Hu and smiled: "As expected, General Hu was convinced before, why does it seem to be relieved now." ”

General Hu said with a smile: "Belief is conviction, and facts are facts." He stroked his palm and exhaled again. "Now it's okay, the external troubles are solved, and Lord Du is in charge of the Western Army, and everything is worry-free. ”

Xue Qing smiled and was about to say something, but the prefect hurriedly came in and leaned over.

"Your Highness, Song... Yuan is out asking to see. He said.

was going to call Lord Song, but thinking that Song Yuan was disrespectful to His Royal Highness, he didn't need to be polite.

Xue Qing sighed: "No, drive them away." ”

The prefect looked up hesitantly: "He, one person." ”

One person?

Xue Qing frowned.

......

......

Outside the city gate of Huangsha Road, Song Yuan, who was in green clothes and shirts, stood with his hands in his hands, with a blank expression.

"Open the door. He said.

.....
