Chapter 195: The two armies are at war
"Report! The Qi army has reached a hundred miles outside the city of Vaxi Kingdom! ”
"Report! The Qi army has sent scouts! ”
"Report ......"
The scouts kept returning, and Shenyue Haoqing only had four words, "It's business as usual." ”
On the one hand, the Qi army camped in the same place, and on the other hand, it sent scouts to investigate the situation, but there was a high wall between the two armies, and it was impossible to find out the real situation.
At this time, the city of Vasi was empty, only some old people and children were still sitting in front of their houses basking in the sun. Wang and Shenyue Haoqing stood on the city and looked at the big camp, those people outside the city who were practicing were not only the soldiers of the Tianyang Kingdom but also the people of the Waxi Kingdom, of course, they were just responsible for shouting a few words from time to time.
"King Qingning, does this really work?"
"Now that there is a huge disparity between the strength of our army and the Qi State, if it is directly hard against hard, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Qi army will break through the city. It can only be delayed for the time being, Huo Dong has a suspicious personality, he has lost once or twice, and he can't know the true situation of our army, so he will definitely not dare to attack rashly. Just wait until I get to the army. ”
"Are you sure you'll survive tonight?"
Shenyue Haoqing shook his head, "I don't know if I can hold out until tomorrow, but the army of Qi has been on the road for several days in a row, and now I don't know the situation on our side, so I won't send troops easily for a while, so I will send someone to prepare the things to be prepared first." ”
"Got it."
After nightfall, the sound of drills outside Vasi City stopped, and people were seen in each tent.
The Qi army was already sleepy and tired of people and horses in continuous travel, even if Huo Dong wanted to attack the city directly, it would be useless, so he could only order to rest in place and prepare to attack the city early the next morning. But they wanted to rest, but they couldn't.
Every few hours, every few hours, a dark shadow would leap in, light a fire, and quickly disappear into the tent. One night, there was a lot of fuss, and the result was even more exhausting.
At the same time, a large group of men and horses arrived outside the city in the early morning, and they had already received the news from Shenyue Haoqing that they had been repaired on the road, and the entire army was in good spirits. Huo Dong knew at this time that he had been teased, but he could only swallow his anger back into his stomach.
After three drums, the Qi army stepped out of the camp and marched towards the Waxi country. And the people of Vassi who were originally outside had already retreated into the city early, hiding, and the city gates were closed.
When the Qi army reached the distance of the newly built wall, they used cannonballs to blow up the wall first in order to send the artillery first. Unexpectedly, after the wall was pushed to the ground, he saw that the army of the Tianyang Kingdom had already retreated far away.
"All march!" Huo Dong gave an order, and the heavy armored cavalry took the lead in attacking the enemy, and the artillery and infantry followed.
Chasing all the way, just when the cavalry was about to catch up with the army of Tianyang Kingdom, only to hear the sound of horses one after another, the horses that took the lead in the battle fell into the dug trench one after another, but fell to the ground, and the subsequent cavalry was also tripped up, and after they regrouped, they continued to charge, and fell down the camouflaged pit every few steps, after several times in a row, they could only send infantry first, and at this moment, the Tianyang Kingdom sent a marksman, and wave after wave of bows and arrows flew to their side, and they did not start fighting, Qi lost part of its troops, and when the artillery moved forward, the army of Tianyang State retreated in time, just retreating to a safe distance, and the shells fell down only raising a puff of soot.
The drums beat again, Shenyue Haoqing stood on his horse, and issued an order in the middle of the army, "The marksmen go first, shoot the gunners from left to right, and the cavalry will follow, and the two sides will be divided!" ”
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!
The morale of the Tianyang Kingdom is high, and although the Qi Kingdom has weapons in hand, it is a little chaotic from the beginning, so that the morale is low. As a powerful drum fell, only to hear the leader shout angrily, "Kill!" ”
The marksman shoots the gunner according to the space where the gun is replaced, the gun cannot be moved quickly, and when the cannon is fired, the marksman is already galloping on horseback, and as soon as the cavalry takes advantage of this gap, the iron hooves step into the flanks of the army and disperse the enemy's forces.
The two groups of armies were mixed together, the commanders of the two armies stood between the armies, looking at each other from a distance, the soldiers around them advanced rapidly, the overwhelming shouts of killing rushed into the sky, the long swords and scimitars flew each other, the bows and arrows and spears whistled and flew by, at the beginning the Qi army still held the dominance of the artillery, the shells flew down, and the Tianyang State soldiers in a circle were blown away, but once the battle was fought at close range, the two armies had casualties if they used the shells, and the dense arrow rain was overwhelming like locusts crossing the border, The shouts and screams made the people of the city tremble.
Shenyue Haoqing asked Li Anyue to stay in the palace and not come out, but how could Li Anyue rest assured, as soon as Shenyue Haoqing left the city, she stood on the city wall and observed the situation. I saw smoke like dark clouds in the distance, and I couldn't see where Shenyue Haoqing was at all, and I could only hear the sound of shouting and killing.
As the war continued, there were constantly wounded soldiers who were carried back to the camp, but there were too many wounded soldiers, and there were not enough military doctors, so the wounded could only stay aside and wail incessantly, Li Anyue volunteered to help, at first they were still hesitating, but batch after batch of wounded soldiers were sent in, and there was no way.
Li Anyue tied up his sleeves and was busy among the wounded soldiers. Bandaging, pulling arrows...... At first, Li Anyue was a little flustered, but after watching other people's handling, he got started. I still heard the sound of fighting in the distance from time to time, but I didn't stop for a moment in my hand.
"Oh no! Oh no! Come here, Princess! At this moment, a soldier came to spread the word that a war horse had just returned with a wounded soldier, and as soon as he reached the gate of the camp, he collapsed from exhaustion, and when he woke up, he had been looking for the princess.
Li Anyue frowned and vaguely felt that something bad was happening, wiped the blood on his hands, and went to another camp, and sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw a soldier with gauze bandages on his hands and legs lying on the bed, looking dying. When he saw Li Anyue come in, his eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to Li Anyue.
"Don't move, or the wound will open in a while, what do you have to tell me?"
"King, Lord...... "The wounded soldier said intermittently.
When Li Anyue heard this, she became anxious, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”
"The prince is injured, and he is not far away......
As soon as Li Anyue heard this, she walked outside, but was stopped, "Princess, it's dangerous outside, let's just go." ”
"It's okay, anyway, it's not far away, there are all of us, I'll just follow you." Li Anyue was so anxious at this time that she couldn't stay still, so she sent a squad of soldiers to follow.
Li Anyue rode his horse to a distance of fifty meters from the camp tent and saw Shenyue Haoqing lying on the ground, and there were several soldiers of the Qi Kingdom lying beside him, covered with blood. Li Anyue's heart was shocked, so he jumped off the horse, ran over, and helped him up, "Lord Wang? How are you, sir? ”
Li Anyue was just about to take off the mask of the person in his arms, when he heard his subtle voice, he leaned his head over, "What did you say, prince?" ”
But then he only felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and he fainted, and at this time, the Qi soldiers who fell to the ground stood up one after another, and the fake Shenyue Haoqing also ripped off the mask on his face, revealing a hideous face, and flew away on the horse with Li Anyue in his arms. The soldiers behind him could only watch Li Anyue being taken away at this time, but they were powerless to return to the sky, because they had already fought with those at this time, and after the enemy army was resolved, Li Anyue had long since lost sight of where he had been taken.
At this time, the victory or defeat on the battlefield was already clear, and the Qi army was dispersed by the soldiers of the Tianyang Kingdom who were constantly rushing in, and turned into a small group to encircle and suppress, and slaughtered step by step. At the same time, news came from the State of Qi that the strange soldiers raided the State of Qi for some reason, broke into the State of Qi and held the King of Qi hostage, and the King of Qi had surrendered. Huo Dong looked at the constantly splashing blood and the guards who kept falling around him, his heart fell little by little, and he rushed forward with a gritted tooth, Shenyue Haoqing and this sword rushed up, one black and one purple were soon entangled together, only to see the sword and only the fire splashing everywhere.
"Why struggle, the defeat of the Qi State is already inevitable." Shenyue Haoqing said as he met him.
Huo Dong sneered, "It's still undecided!" ”
The swords struck each other, and both of them retreated a distance, but at the same time, Huo Dong suddenly rode back on horseback, and the Qi army also retreated, the morale of the Tianyang army was high, the drums were continuous, and with a burst of shouts, they pursued away.
Shenyue Haoqing rode his horse to follow Huo Dong closely, but Huo Dong suddenly turned onto another path, Shenyue Haoqing frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the Qi army had already run to the north, and there should be no ambush ahead, and at this time, a team of soldiers followed behind him, and Shenyue Haoqing also rode his horse to chase away.
Huo Dong ran forward and suddenly stopped, because there was a cliff before him. When Shenyue Haoqing chased after him, he was already standing on the edge of the cliff with a strange smile on his face, and in front of him was Li Anyue, and a sharp sword was on Li Anyue's neck.
When she woke up, she had already been caught by Huo Dong, "County Lord, it's okay not to see you for a few days?" ”
"Phew!" Li Anyue spat at him in anger and foamed at him.
Huo Dong wiped away the saliva and pinched her chin, "You also look down on me now, then I'm afraid you'll hate me later." You'll be watching how your sweetheart falls to my feet later. ”
"You're delusional!"
Huo Dong laughed when he heard this, as if he was suffering from madness. Li Anyue looked at him strangely, but after not seeing him for a few days, it was like a different person.
