Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ghost of Armor

After the corpses were moved, the blood stains in the entire canyon had to be cleaned up, although the trouble of carrying water up and down was huge, but it was a task that had to be done, and if there was a plague, then it would be more than just trouble and scale. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Moreover, these corpses may still be useful, and if they are exposed to the air, they are afraid of decaying, and they can be buried in the soil, which can also be relieved for some time.

By the time these things were over, it had been two days later, and the Chu army still hadn't made any moves, and it seemed that they had also learned the lessons of this battle and didn't dare to tackle them easily. Chu Jun did not move, but Pei Yun was not idle.

On the one hand, a small number of horses were transported out to enhance the mobility of the land of Xinding in the eastern part of the country, and on the other hand, 7,000 soldiers were mobilized to build a road in the mountains of Guannei that could barely be used for horses to walk, so as to facilitate the entry and exit of cavalry, of course, this did not affect the defense of Yanmen Pass.

Not to mention the road construction, the horses were transported continuously for six days, and finally more than 20,000 horses were scattered in the land of Xinding. The cavalrymen ate and drank supplies in Guanzhong, and usually walked their horses outside, scaring the nervous Chu army from time to time.

Speaking of the Chu army, there are more and more enemy cavalry around, and the number seems to be gradually increasing, and the veterans can smell that the enemy army is showing signs of counterattack.

After the last tragic battle, as well as that unbearable performance, Zhong Lifang's prestige fell to the freezing point in the whole army, and he could feel it himself, the eyes of the soldiers looking at him had changed, hate, hate, and disdain.

Whether it was obvious contempt or secret ridicule, Zhong Lifang felt annoyed and uneasy, afraid that the soldier would kill him without long eyes. Since then, he has stayed in the tent every day, surrounded by pro-army guards, drinking all day long, and Sima has been bitterly disobedient.

At night, Zhong Lifang's tent came again with the army Sima.

"Sima, you don't have to persuade me. Zhong Lifang drunkenly put his arm around Sima's shoulder, spitting out wine and said, "Sima, I'll tell you the truth, I ......" Zhong Lifang burped and continued: "I...... Fear of blood. ”

Afraid of blood, afraid of blood and still come to war.

Sima covered his mouth and nose, trying to endure the unpleasant smell of alcohol, and looked down on Zhong Lifang more and more in his heart. Such a person, His Majesty is also relieved that he leads the army, and it is still 300,000. It is said that His Majesty and Zhong Lifang have a strong relationship, which seems to be true. However, as a courtier, he can only obey His Majesty's will, and he has nothing to do in his heart.

Said: "General Zhongli, there are many sneak attackers in the night of the enemy cavalry, our army camp is too large, it is impossible to prevent it, the casualties are not counted, and the grain road is also intruded by the enemy cavalry, and the food and grass in the army are not enough, in order to ensure the innocent casualties of the soldiers and the stability of the army's morale, his subordinates suggest that the general temporarily withdraw from the wolf Mengguan, and find a good strategy in the future, and then it is not too late to tackle the problem." ”

"No!" Zhong Lifang waved weakly, pushed a handful of military horses, stumbled back a few steps, and said, "I'm not going to Wolf Mengguan, I'm going to ...... Go to Yanmen Pass, hehe, go to Yanmen Pass......"

"General Zhongli, you ......" Sima was about to persuade again, but even General Zhongli was lying on the ground asleep, and he sighed deeply when he was angry. It seems that it is necessary to present the situation here to His Majesty and let His Majesty decide.

Looking at Zhong Lifang, who was delirious, Sima shook his head, went out of the tent and ordered the pro-army to go in and wait for General Zhongli to sleep, and went back to his account to write a seal.

However, Sima didn't know that his men were captured by the enemy hiding in the night not long after they were sent out, and it was not destined to be peaceful under the night sky tonight.

The southern camp of the Chu army is the place where it stores grain and grass, and there are many defenders and it is heavily guarded. Behind the clearing to the south of the camp, there is a dense forest.

As the sun waned, the sound of the wind during the day disappeared for fear of darkness, and only a few staccato bird whimpering, seemed to be the wail of life nearing the end, perhaps the struggle under the bondage of death, and the shadow of the tree, which had been fangs and claws, was completely soaked in a dead light, and the moon, which had been brewing in the dark clouds for a long time, was finally released, and a silver light passed through the crack in the tree, and shot on a cold pupil, glowing with blood.

More moonlight penetrated the woods, and the rows of dark and heavy armor reflected the cold light, and hundreds of warriors were like deadly ghosts lurking in the darkness, surrounded by murderous aura, in addition to them, there were also war horses behind them that were also hidden in the dark, and there was no living thing around.

The horses were anxiously digging their front hooves, and their eyes were burning with blood.

Someone is coming!

The armorers tensed suddenly, and then relaxed.

It was someone sent by the general.

"Marquis Yu, the general's side is ready, just wait for the fire. ”

Leping turned his head to look at Chu Ying, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Prepare." ”

All the horsemen turned in unison, leaned down to take off the hoof cloth of their horses, stood up and took off the mouthpiece, turned on their backs, put their crossbows on their arrows, and their eyes shone with a feverish and bloodthirsty light.

"Action!" Yu Min said, the horse under the seat was already unable to hold back, and the cavalry rushed out one after another! The clearing was not far away, and the cavalry arrived in a blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows rushed into the sky, and then hundreds of spears were pressed down, and thousands of iron hooves ruthlessly stepped into the Chu camp!

The Chu army suffered countless casualties, and the screams were loud.

But Yu Min's sneak attack this time was not to kill the enemy. His goal was to reach the grain and grass of the Chu army. The elite cavalry rushed forward, the Chu army was in chaos, unstoppable, throwing down the corpses all the way, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers fell on the mountains of grain and grass. Grain is not easy to burn, but horse feed is ignited when it meets fire! The fire spread rapidly, and the fire in the south burst into flames!

The entire Chu camp was immediately boiling and chaotic, with exclamations, running sounds, water lifting sounds, and some people shouting and shouting at the enemy army for sneak attack, which added to the chaos.

As soon as Sima's face changed, he knew that the grain and grass were attacked, there was no food in the army, and Anke had been stationed for a long time, and the army's heart was in turmoil, and if the enemy attacked at this time, it would inevitably be defeated. I had to go to Zhonglifang's tent to get the military seal, desperately being blamed, and I had to command the army to retreat to Wolf Mengguan as soon as possible.

Then, the earth began to tremble, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and under the faint light of fire, a large banner with blue characters on a black background appeared in the darkness like a spirit flag, and the ghostly enemy cavalry broke into Sima's sight from afar.

"Humming Cavalry!" Sima was shocked, and saw that the Humming cavalry was unstoppable, and rushed straight to this side, and the Chu army was killed on both sides of the place, and the brazier was pushed to, and the tent along the road immediately caught fire, and the fire rose rapidly!

Immediately afterwards, in the bottomless darkness, a dozen directions sounded a fierce horn, more than a dozen directions countless cavalry rushed forward, along the road to kill people and set fire, forming more than a dozen fire dragons, crazy dance, with the wind to rotate the direction, soon connected into a sea of fire, the entire Chu camp was submerged in it, I don't know how many people were burned to death, the scorched stench mixed with the black smoke, the forced Ming cavalry also quickly evacuated after a big killing.

However, the cavalry that rushed in the direction of Sima did not stop, trampled the earth, and swept like a violent wind, Sima could not dodge, and was already killed on the road. The striker passed, and successively lifted several tents with his knife, and finally opened Zhonglifang's tent, and our Zhongli general was sleeping on the futon inside.

The cavalry who rushed behind once again showed their superb riding skills, quickly brushed between the electric light and flint of Zhong Lifang's bed, his whole body was in danger, and his big hand took advantage of the situation, and put Zhong Lifang on the horse's neck, and then the horsemen circled, rushed out of the fire camp with billowing smoke, and threw themselves into the darkness, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared.

The fire in Chuying burned until dawn the next day.

The grain and grass were burned, the general was missing, Sima was killed, and nearly 100,000 robes were buried in the fire.

Their armor was inadequate, their faces were pitch black, and many of the burned soldiers groaned in pain. After staying in place for a short time, the Chu army was like refugees in groups...... No, the Chu army, which was worse than the refugees, went desolate towards Wolf Mengguan.

Didn't Chu Bing want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape without being controlled? They wanted it so much that they were dreaming about it. But they can't, because their wives and children are all in the south, and if they become deserters, their relatives will be affected, and they will be branded as deserters for the rest of their lives, and they will die without seeing their ancestors again.

The south is chaotic and the north is in trouble, and the north is in the south, which is the ruler's consistent way of sending troops, forcing the soldiers not to dare to have the slightest dissent.
