Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hero is Shocked
When the flames were extinguished, Sun Hong ordered to move on, but this time, his mood was no longer as relaxed as before.
Even the horses seemed to be affected by the gloomy aura of the soldiers, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly heavy.
"Report the young master. All the crops outside the village were harvested. The well was also covered by a collapsed wall, and it would take a while to move away. ”
"Damn it. Don't wait, go to the next village immediately. I don't believe that all of them will run away, what will they eat and drink when there are so many people? How can you starve to death with the little food you have harvested this season? Sun Hong is not stupid, of course he knows the purpose of the other party's this. I just don't want to get myself recharged.
However, there are not many crops ripening in this season, although all the crops in the field are harvested in advance, but there are not many that are really ripe, and the purpose is only to keep themselves from supplies.
It's just that in this way, he also knows very well that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to stay for too long when he escapes into the mountains.
Watching Sun Hong walk along the road non-stop, Jia Lin laughed: "It seems that this second ancestor is in a hurry." Come and tell the folks over there that the fish are going to enter the net. ”
A carrier pigeon sprang up and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Ke'er looked at the carrier pigeons in the distance, and Wu Zi was a little uneasy: "Sister Jialin, there are no soldiers over there, only villagers, is it really okay?" ”
"Don't worry. After this big loss, that guy must not dare to go into the village to live again. Maybe they will even set it on fire. In this case, our arrangement will be able to work. Jia Lin had a trace of murderous intent and hatred on her face: "Since they dare to come, they must make him pay a heavy price." The destruction of these villages must be paid for with their lives. ”
Sun Hong led the vanguard army to the next village with a lot of rage.
Before they could reach the village, they saw some figures fleeing towards the village.
"Hahahaha...... Chase, chase me, the people in this village didn't run away, chase me. Sun Hong was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered after a while.
"Kill ......" all the cavalry rushed over like crazy.
When they rushed to a distance of about a hundred paces in front of the village, suddenly the ground collapsed, and the first dozen horsemen fell straight down.
"Ah......h
"Help...... There is an ambush ......"
"Help......
"Ah...... Don't come down...... Ah......h
Following these more than ten horses, the dozen or so horses who didn't have time to rein in their horses fell down again.
The cavalry behind them hurriedly reined in their horses, but they were directly hit by the cavalry behind.
By the time all the cavalry had finally stopped, about a hundred men had been swallowed up by the huge pit.
Sun Hong let out an inhuman roar, and then pointed angrily at the village: "Shoot arrows, release rockets, burn me, burn them." ”
The cavalrymen drew their bows and arrows, ignited and fired rockets.
The village soon turned into a sea of fire.
The flames were blazing, reflecting the sky in a bright red, which could be seen clearly from afar.
"Young master. I think we'd better find a place to rest today. The soldiers were also tired. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no combat effectiveness. The strategist next to him looked at the setting sun, and there was a look of worry in his eyes.
Originally, I thought that this attack on Long Linling would be a one-sided situation.
But he didn't expect that the news leaked first, so that the enemy was prepared. Immediately afterwards, the people here actually planned to resist to the end, so that the vanguard army that had separated from the rear army suffered a big loss.
This made him feel a little uneasy. But the young master of his own family has exterminated bandits many times, and he feels that his military ability is very strong, and he is even more extraordinary than the handsome Yun of the year. No one dared to give an opinion.
"Well, that's right. Sentinel, find a suitable place to be stationed. Sun Hong ordered.
Soon, the sentry found a terrain with a flat terrain and a wide field of vision.
This terrain is suitable for both garrisoning and observing enemy attacks, and is well suited to an all-cavalry configuration like theirs. On this flat terrain, the power of cavalry can be effectively exerted.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the soldiers, tired from a day's work, soon fell into a deep sleep.
The sentinels of the night patrol were highly nervous, and in this land, they were already like frightened birds.
At this moment, in the quiet night, I suddenly remembered the sound of a knock, and the sound became louder and louder......
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......" The sentries hurriedly warned, and the soldiers who had long been asleep also quickly got up, grabbed their weapons and rode on the war horses beside them.
Sun Hong didn't even have time to bring a helmet: "Where? Where is the enemy? ”
"Young master, the sound of war drums is sounding over there." The sentry pointed in the direction where the drum was beating.
"Damn, you want to sneak attack, get ready, let them know how good we are." Sun Hong shouted angrily.
But the work of the meal passed, and there was no movement except the sound of the drums.
"What's going on?" Sun Hong's face was very ugly: "Tanma, go over and take a look." ”
After a while, the spies came back with a drum and a sheep.
"Young master, it's a sheep. They hung the sheep upside down on the drum. The drum is beaten by sheep. ”
"What? These cunning rednecks. Sun Hong's face was blue and white for a while, and he was so angry.
The strategist next to him frowned: "The young master must not be angry. The other party is a tired tactic. ”
"Do you think I don't know?" Sun Hong's face was cold: "Everyone, continue to rest." ”
But not long after the break, the rumbling drums began to sound again.
"Damn it. A few of you, go over and have a look. Sun Hong sat up and pointed to a few probes.
As a result, nature is another sheep.
Sun Hong's face was very ugly: "Ring again next time." A few of you rush over at once and get me the drummer. Continue to rest. ”
Knock knock knock......
The drums beat again.
The horses immediately rushed over.
But there was no sound, and the drums continued to rumble.
"What the hell is going on? How many of them are there? Sun Hong waited for a while, but he didn't see Tanma come back, so he hurriedly asked.
"Young master, I didn't come back." The soldier on the night watch replied.
"How is that possible? Come on, go over and have a look. Sun Hong had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly ordered.
After a while, I saw those people come back with a drum and a sheep: "Young master, it's still a drum and a sheep, but those brothers are gone." There's a lot of blood there, I'm afraid it's been ambushed. ”
"What? Okay, it's so calculating, it's really calculating. Sun Hong also understood that when the other party placed the drum and sheep, he was not unguarded. I sent those few probe horses over, and it was directly a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
"Give me a rest, don't worry about it this time. They didn't come at all anyway. Sun Hong said angrily.
The drums kept beating, and for most of the night, Sun Hong and these soldiers couldn't fall asleep at all.
But they paid no heed to the sound of the drum, and did not even bother to send for the drum and the sheep to be brought back.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Just as the day was approaching, and the sentry breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing that the night was about to end, there was a violent tremor in the distance, like a multitude of cavalry charging towards him.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
But warnings didn't do much. Some soldiers even complained: "What kind of enemy attack, all the drums have been beating all night, is it too early to come?" ”
But soon the soldiers panicked, because the tremor was getting bigger and bigger, and they could feel the ground tremble slightly when they were lying on the ground.
"Get on the horse and fight." Sun Hong was shocked: "How is it possible, how can they have so many cavalry?" It's absolutely impossible. ”
Judging from this shock, I am afraid that there will be no less than a thousand cavalry charges.
Looking closely, I saw a little fire in the distance, accompanied by bursts of cow roars.
"What's that?" I couldn't see far in the dark, but Niu Ming could hear it clearly.
Did the cavalry ride bulls? Haven't heard of it?
But soon all the soldiers' faces changed.
I saw a herd of cattle running wildly, with flames on their tails and wooden frames connected to them, making it difficult for them to turn and rush forward. Seeing the cows rushing towards them like crazy, all the soldiers panicked.
"What?" Sun Hong was stunned. When had he ever seen such a scene? The two sides are still using cattle at war?
But then he came to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, retreat." Retreat immediately. ”
But it was too late. The frenzied cattle had already stormed the camp.
The vanguard army is not a large army after all, and it cannot be camped without logistics troops. The camp was just a flat piece of ground sprinkled with snake repellent medicine, and there was no way to stop these mad cows.
"Ah......h
"Help......"
"Get out of my way, get out of the way......"
All the soldiers were in disarray.
Some went to ride horses in a panic, some ran away like crazy, and some didn't even bother to take their weapons......
Sun Hong could only get on his horse and escape under the protection of his personal guards: "Retreat, retreat immediately......"
Running away with the soldiers, Sun Hong gritted his teeth and secretly cursed in his heart.
You wait for me, and I won't let you go. When my army arrives, I'm going to kill you all, kill them all!"
"Kill ......"
But they were frightened, and shouts of killing were heard in front of them.
Jia Lin took the 1,000 cavalry of the old general Li Qingfeng and the 300 private troops of the territory, and intercepted and killed them after recuperating their strength.
On the one hand, there are defeated divisions that have been repeatedly attacked and demoralized, and on the other hand, there are mourning soldiers who are recuperating and defending their homeland.
Before the two sides have come into contact, the outcome is already a foregone conclusion.
In the army led by Sun Hong, some soldiers were simply frightened, and when they heard this shout of killing, they immediately shouted and fled from the team without their lives.
And what followed was a larger rout.
Kill......
Killing into the enemy formation like a whirlwind, Jia Lin came directly to Sun Hong: "Traitors and thieves, take your life!" ”
"Retreat, retreat." Seeing his soldiers being cut off their horses one by one, Jia Lin, who was in the lead, unstoppable, and her armor was stained red with blood, Sun Hong couldn't help but shudder, and ordered to retreat again and again.
Finally, under the escort of his own guards, Sun Hong escaped from the dragon collar like a lost dog......
"What? You repeat? My son beats? How can it be? Who commanded them? Could it be that Li Qingfeng is old and immortal? After receiving the news, Donghai Gongsun Canghai's face changed greatly.
"Lord Duke, there will be no mistake in the news, the young master has fled and will be back soon. As for the command...... It's the maid next to Yunqing. The Yun family guards the family, the people of the Hong family. ”
"Handmaiden? Just a little maid...... A little maid ......" Sun Canghai felt a little frightened, a maid has such ability, what about Yun Qing who doesn't know life and death? No, he must not be given a chance to develop. The dragon collar must be completely eradicated. Otherwise, it will become a great disaster. xh118
