Chapter 226: Confrontation between the two armies
Er Mianxin, who lost a third of his men, led his generals to flee eastward in a hurry, for fear of running into the Xianbei people who were advancing westward and being trampled into pulp by the army.
Rouran people have no belief in "loyalty" and "death battle", only "preserve strength" in their hearts, this team fled east in a hurry, did not meet the Xianbei people, but first met Lu Bi and his party who were also marching towards Jinshan.
Lu Bi was not slow, but in order to hide his whereabouts, he first made a look of looking for his sister to the east, and then turned back to Jinshan in the west, so he fell behind He Mulan.
He was worried that the Gaoche tribe had been broken by the army led by Er Mianxin, and then saw that there was no trace of the Gaoche people in the team that turned back to the royal court in front of him, and there was no Gaocha with him, so he suddenly settled in his heart, and then he was puzzled.
Er Mianxin is the strongest tribal leader under Wu Ti's account now, Rouran was attacked by the Wei people, Wu Ti asked him to come to Gaoche, originally with high hopes, hoping to bring Qingzhuang back to support, but now at a glance, why does it seem like he has suffered a big loss?
Lu Bi came to the Gaoche tribe with a large army, originally thinking of taking the opportunity to repel Er Mianxin's generals, forming a siege of Gaoche, brushing up his sweetheart's favorability by the way, and finally accepting the allegiance of the Gaoche tribe logically......
Now that Er Mianxin is no longer attacking the high car, his small plan has also failed, and he is even more confused, not knowing what happened.
Because Gao Che has always been kind and smooth, Lu Bi didn't expect that they would really resist to the death, let alone that his sweetheart would be so brave. It was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he ordered a henchman, who was also the tribal lord of the western territory, and pretended to be the tribal lord who had just led his troops to pass by here to support the royal court, and went to inquire about the news.
An hour later, the henchman returned, only to bring back a piece of news that made Lu Bi's heart tremble.
There were a large number of Xianbei cavalry near the Gaoche tribe, each brave and good at fighting, Er Mianxin was attacked by this army before the Gaoche tribe was defeated, after losing one-third of the soldiers and horses, in order to reduce the loss, he could only collect the troops and return to the royal court to resume his life.
Lu Bi did not doubt that he had him, he had also confessed several times in the royal court and Er Mianxin, knowing that the other party was simple-minded, and it was normal to run back once he was defeated, and he only sighed that he had one less chance to win the favor of the Gaoche people, so he took the soldiers and horses to hide for a while, and waited for most of Er Mianxin to leave before continuing to move west.
"Master, what now? Are we still going to Jinshan? ”
A subordinate general was worried in his heart and asked Lu Bidao: "Now that the southern foot of Jinshan is likely to have been captured by the Xianbei people, if we go again, it is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a net......
"Let's go around and see if it's a tiger army."
Lu Bi knew that the Wei people on the western front had already gone to the royal court, and only a few troops with special missions were left in the west. He sent his mother to the Tiger Army, thinking that his mother should have been sent to the rear at this time, so the Tiger Army would continue to attack north.
In this case, the general of the Tiger Ben Army should know his identity, and there should be no danger for him to go to the Gaoche tribe to meet him.
"But if the high car has been occupied by the Tiger Ben, even if it is the Tiger Ben Army, it doesn't make sense for us to go!" The henchman had a bitter face, "Maybe we will be beaten back by the Wei people!" ”
It's just that if the Gaoche tribe has been occupied by the Wei people, and then it is really difficult to win the annexation of the Gaoche people from the Wei people.
The Wei people make a living from military exploits, and it should be a great achievement to be able to capture the Gaoche tribe. General Huben and him had no reason to give up this great achievement, and gave him a reason to give his captives and servants to fight the royal court.
If you want to fight, General Huben will lead the troops to fight by himself.
Therefore, his henchmen persuaded him not to go again, hoping that he would not have any more extraneous branches.
"You know what I'm going to do!" Lu Bi covered the jade pendant on his chest, his face full of smiles. "I'm not going to fight, what does it have to do with that Tiger Ben general for a while?"
He formed an alliance with the Wei people, and he was the right virtuous king of Rouran, which was just a small tiger general of the Wei State, and he was not a royal family of Zhiqin, and his friendship with him was already a broken knot, and if the other party was a smart person, he would also be respectful to him.
What's more, he still has 8,000 cavalry, and the west is his territory, and he can gather tens of thousands of troops at any time, even if he is forced by his strength, the other party will not do anything to him.
I just don't know what happened to Mulan.
Su Hejun promised him that he would send a letter to the generals in the west, and General Huben naturally received the letter, and he would not neglect Di's "Ah Qihuo".
I heard that this Tiger Ben General is also a young general, Hua Mulan looks so stunning, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and even he cherishes Hua Mulan so much, that Tiger Ben General may also fall in love when he sees her......
When Lu Bi thought about this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately ordered all the sons and daughters to speed up the march, and before noon tomorrow, they must reach the southern foot of Jinshan.
***
Di Yefei went through a lot of twists and turns to reach Jinshan, and the hardships and hardships were naturally indescribable.
He Mulan and other fellow firefighters took the Gaoche people down the mountain, she was the general of the Wei State, and the friendly army that sheltered the old and weak women and children in the tribe to the south, and was warmly welcomed by the Gaoche people, and re-encamped in the pasture at the southern foot of Jinshan, slaughtered sheep and cattle, and brought out fine wine to welcome the arrival of this tiger army.
From the beginning of Hermulan's entry into Rouran, he broke through the herdsmen's tribes all the way, and everywhere he went, he was crying and crying.
Even the Tiger Benjun who came with her to the Gaoche tribe felt that even for this moment, so many days of rapid marching was worth it, although there were no beauties, but good wine and good food, and successfully met with the Gaoche people, it was natural to enjoy the carnival and enjoy it.
It is naturally a pity that there are no beauties, the tiger army and the men of the high-chariot tribe indulge in singing and wrestling together, and He Mulan was pulled by the patriarchs of the high-chariot tribe to ask about the east and west, and he didn't have time until midnight.
When the evening until midnight the carnival ended, a group of former firemates pulled Di Ye to his tent, and finally cleared up a little.
Di Yefei had already hugged these fellow firemates for a while when he was down the mountain, and this time he was alone with him, and he was even more excited, and he hugged them one by one and complained to each other.
"Oh, the soft wind and sand are big, blowing our Dimei people a little black......"
Hu Lihun hugged Di Yefei, smiled and complained that the water and soil were not good.
"We are relieved to see that you are okay."
Arman Zhiqi then hugged Di Yefei.
"We were really terrified when we saw the burning cars at the foot of the mountain from afar."
"We burned it ourselves, and it was just a wall of fire defense."
Di Yefei also smiled, and left with a hug to A Dan Zhiqi.
Tuluo Daman opened his arms very exaggeratedly, puffed up his chest and said to Di Yefei:
"You must have suffered a lot of grievances, right? It's okay, I'm waiting with my broad chest...... Yes! ”
Tuluo Daman was punched in the chest by Di Yefei and bent down in pain.
"Why are your hands still so black!"
The Pusangpu brothers each hugged Di Yefei. They are a lot older than Di Yefei, and they are much calmer, they know that Di Yefei will definitely be able to make great achievements if he returns this time, and they are happy to befriend him, and everyone sent a few words of blessing.
Di Yefei had a relaxed smile from beginning to end, and when he hugged Na Luo Hun, the latter turned his head away from looking at his face, and only patted his back gently, and then whispered with red ears:
"I brought you your double halberd, I'll get it for you when I get back!"
"That's great!" Di Yefei smiled in surprise, "I don't have a weapon here, the big battle is about to happen, I'm worried, you really did me a great favor!" ”
When Di Yefei left the camp in Montenegro, he had already been promoted to a centurion, and he had a camp tent with Na Luo Hun, and after he left, many things were left in the camp and handed over to Na Luo Hun for safekeeping. Na Luo Hun came to Rouran this time, thinking that he might be able to see Di Yefei, so he brought his weapons with him.
Di Ye flew down and Rou Ran had been using Rou Ran's common saber, but he was more used to using the double halberd, so his martial arts were discounted, and at this time, the double halberd returned to his hand, and he was naturally excited.
"Di Yefei, why do I think you seem to have grown a little taller?" Tuluo shouted, "Before leaving, the fire didn't grow taller, but now it seems to be as tall as the fire!" Do you high-riders grow slower than others? ”
Di Yefei didn't notice his situation originally, but as soon as Tuluo Daman said at this time, everyone in the tent was concerned, and pulled them back to lean back, comparing their height.
Since He Mulan became a general, he has not messed around with them for a long time, and at this time, he is at their mercy, and he only smiles at the corners of his mouth, and obediently sticks to Di Yefei's back.
I saw that Di Yefei and He Mulan were already similar in height, and they could hardly tell the height.
Women develop early, and their height is already fixed at the age of seventeen or eighteen, while men grow slowly. Di Yefei was not tall when he was young, and he looked like a woman, so it was easier to be misunderstood, and when he grew taller, he didn't grow very quickly, which has always been his regret.
Di Yefei was naturally very happy to see that he could grow longer, he glanced at the fire companion in the tent, and found that there were no people and ghosts, so he opened his mouth to ask, but as soon as he spoke, he sighed stupidly and didn't dare to say anything more.
According to the temper of the fire chief, if a number of people and demon killers are still there, and she is promoted to a general, she will definitely bring them to the tent......
Not at this time, most of them have already ......
He Mulan just turned around, and when he saw Di Yefei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he felt sad in his heart, and his face also showed sadness.
"You're right, it's true that the ghost killer is gone."
She looked at Di Yefei's eyes widening, and then continued: "A few people are fine, he has won the favor of a nobleman and has become an attendant. ”
Di Yefei was first a generation, and then when he heard that some people were fine, he was happy again, and he suddenly had mixed feelings, and it took a long time to speak: "Kill ghosts...... How did he die after killing ghosts? ”
Among the people, except for Na Luo Hun, he is the highest in ghost killing martial arts, and he is cautious, not a presumptuous person, if he is said to be killed in battle, Di Yefei does not believe it in his heart.
Speaking of killing ghosts, the tent was full of silence, and all the joy just now was gone, He Mulan sighed and began to kill ghosts one by one.
“…… That's ...... like this."
Di Yefei was stunned.
"We'll give the ghost slayer a clean slate!" Hu Lihun gritted his teeth, "Killing ghosts is not such a person at all!" He also wanted to take his family out to live in the future, and let his aunt tease his grandson, how could he do such a thing! ”
"The leather armor is also suspicious. But that's all after we returned from the Northern Expedition. He Mulan also felt uncomfortable in his heart, "We are finally reunited, and we should say something happy." Di Yefei, I heard that you met Helian Ding, what happened......
"Is it Helianding? I only saw Helian's banner, and I didn't know who it was......" Di Yefei was stunned, "Did that person catch it?" ”
"Nope."
He Mullan shook his head.
"It's a long story......"
The long night was long, and there was no intention of sleeping, and when a group of people with the same fire imitated the black camp, they slept together, and talked to each other, and when they talked about the rise, they couldn't help but shout a few times, which caused the pro-soldiers guarding outside their tents to ask aloud.
It was precisely because of the existence of these pro-soldiers that Di Yefei realized that his fellow firemates had gone farther and farther away at this time, moving towards the road of "making meritorious contributions".
And although he has made a lot of contributions, he is still not as good as you all in today's fire.
For a while, Di Yefei was a little sad and a little impatient, and more of a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't catch up with the same fire.
But he turned his head to look at He Mulan, who was smiling and listening to their laughter, and his heart suddenly settled down.
Among the ten people, Hua Mulan has the strongest martial arts, the most outstanding character, and a calmness that is rare among his peers, so he is naturally the farthest among them.
But even so, he still turned around and pulled everyone.
Even if he was in Rouran, the fire chief did not forget him, Tuluo Daman once said that the fire chief would stay on the Western Front because he voluntarily asked for his life, because of this, the Tiger Ben army still had a lot of opinions about him, all relying on Su Ri's prestige.
There is a person who never robs merit and will not sacrifice you;
When you are about to charge, he stands in front of you;
When you want to retreat, he will cut off the back for you;
When it's time to reward meritorious deeds, you just have to stand by his side......
How can such a Mulan not make people respect relatives?
Eventually, they will move forward together and support each other, just like they were in the black camp back then.
Di Yefei gradually relaxed his mind at the sound of everyone's words, and slowly fell asleep, even in his sleep, he was still smiling.
He seemed to have set out from Black Mountain, and he had never slept like this, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he immediately fell into a sweet dream.
After chatting for a while, they found that there was no sound beside them, and when they turned their heads again, Di Yefei had already fallen asleep, and they couldn't help but silence.
"Huo Chang, do you feel that Di Yefei is thinner than before leaving?"
Shan Zhiqi looked at Di Yefei's face, shook his head and said, "It seems that Rouran's trip is not easy, he seems to be much more mature than before." ”
"I also think he seems to have something on his mind, but I just met, so it's hard to ask."
Hu Lihun scratched his head.
"Go to sleep, don't wake him."
Na Luo Hun covered him with a quilt and ordered the soldiers outside the door to bring them a few mattresses, and the guards outside looked at him in surprise and left as ordered.
The sleeping bed was soon brought, and everyone slept around Di Yefei, and in an instant, Di Yefei's sleeping face with a smile turned into a frowning state again, as if in a dream, and those teeth grinding, snoring, and dream-talking troubles came to entangle, so that he couldn't smile.
Pity the soldiers outside the tent, these generals neither ordered them to go, nor did they order them to stay, so they had to stay all night, each with a black circle under their eyes.
Early the next morning, the troops patrolling the tiger cavalry returned, and immediately woke up the people in the tent, and a group of people got up, as if they had returned to the time when they were still in the black camp, and the general ordered the army to fight again, and the Tuluo Daman even jumped up and blurted out:
"Into your mother, Lao Tzu slept well, which worm is it...... Belch? ”
The laughter was loud, and He Mulan casually sorted out the messy hair and went out to ask.
"General Hua, there are several worm cavalry not far away, the number of which is about a thousand, coming from the east and north, it seems that they are heading straight for Jinshan!"
The patrolling cavalry looked at He Mulan curiously, thinking of the "fragrant night" that everyone in the army said last night, and he couldn't help but show a little bit on his face, and even shrank his head into the tent.
"A thousand? Could it be that yesterday's Rouran general will return again? He Mulan was stunned for a moment, "Didn't we retreat yesterday, and there were no enemy troops within fifty miles?" ”
"Yes! There were no enemy troops yesterday. These two forces seem to have come from somewhere else. ”
What's going on?
And the remnants?
"General Qiyuhua, there are several more teams of people from the east, and the number of people is also about a thousand!"
There was another scout to report, and he looked very confused.
"Doesn't seem to be a commander-in-chief!"
He Mulan couldn't think that this was a reinforcement that had been pitted by Er Mianxin, and it happened that Na Luo Hun and others were there, so he summoned a few veterans of the Tiger Army, and everyone discussed, and several lieutenants each took 500 people out to investigate the situation.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the lieutenants to return to the camp in Jinshan one by one. The Gaoche people originally thought that there was another account to fight, and they were all gearing up, but as a result, the Wei people returned to the camp with horses, and they did not look like they had fought at all, and everyone was suddenly surprised.
"General, the comer seems to be the cavalry of the surrounding tribes, but there are not many of them, and they ran away as soon as they saw our banner......"
Narahun frowned.
"But looking at their momentum, it looks like reinforcements coming to support. Could it be that the general summoned all the troops to fight again yesterday? ”
Listening to everyone's speculation, He Mulan did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately ordered the Tiger Ben Army to prepare for battle, and went to visit several Gaoche patriarchs and borrowed people from them.
With the relationship between Di Yefei and the Tuoba Tao handwritten message brought by He Mulan, the Gaoche clan did not dare to snub He Mulan and others, and immediately ordered the eight thousand sons of the clan, followed the Tiger Ben army, and made a defensive position outside the Jinshan camp.
Lu Bi galloped all the way to the southern foot of Jinshan with the elite soldiers led by himself, and met several cavalry teams on the way. He is the right virtuous king of Rouran, and there are many subjects of Lubi in the west, and when they see the royal banner of Lubi, they naturally come up to meet him.
Lu Bi talked to them, and only then did he know that Er Mianxin, who had retreated, did not bother to report to them, and almost let them fall into the hands of the Wei people.
Lu Bi intended to collect these cavalry for his own use, so he returned the Rouran cavalry, who had been frightened and panicked, to his tent all the way, and headed towards the southern foot of Jinshan with great momentum.
Here, He Mulan also thought that Er Mianxin had killed again, so he put on a gluttonous battle armor, put on a purple and gold crown, and took the knights of the Tiger Ben Army and the eight thousand cavalry of the Gaocha Army to set up a formation, and the young men of the Gaoche tribe who were good at shooting were hiding behind the army, waiting for the enemy to arrive, and ten thousand arrows were fired.
Di Yefei also reorganized his armor, carried a double halberd, and stood in front of the Gaoche tribe formation, temporarily acting as a general in command. At this time, if you talk about the number of people, the tiger army led by He Mulan is still under Di Yefei.
For a moment, the trumpets were blaring, the dust was rising in the distance, and the alternating and orderly stomping of the horses' hooves as they ran was heard incessantly, and Hermulan ordered the bow and arrow to be prepared, but the enemy stopped in the distance, and did not continue to advance.
The two sides were evenly matched, and with the support of the Gaoche clan like Hermulan, both sides were nervous under the tension, and there was hardly any sound of movement.
Only Di Yefei looked at the flag in the distance uneasily and incredulously, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Flying Bear ......
How can it be a flying bear?
Is it possible?
"Can you tell the enemy army on the other side?" He Mulan asked Hu Lu Feihong beside him in a low voice. He was the eldest son of the Hulu clan patriarch and was familiar with Rouran's situation.
Hu Lu Feihong also showed a strange expression: "It seems to be the army of the Right Virtuous King." But...... But shouldn't it be the Right Virtuous King? He's not ...... with Aqihuo."
Is there a covenant?
Hearing that it was the team of the Right Sage King Lu Bi, He Mulan finally restrained a little nervousness. Lu Bi's mother, Princess Lelang, was being sent to Black Mountain City, even if the other party didn't recognize her six relatives, it was impossible to attack the Wei army at this time. There must be some reason......
Sure enough, after a while, a horse rushed out of the opposite formation, and the knight dropped his weapon in the vicinity, and carried the royal banner of the Right Virtuous King to the front of the two armies.
He ordered that no one should harm the messenger, and the messenger carried the banner until the place where he shot in front of him, and then he immediately stroked his chest and saluted, and asked in a humble voice:
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Yu Jiu Lubi, the Right Virtuous King of Rouran. May I ask if this place is guarded by General Tiger Ben? ”
He Mulan nodded when he heard this, and said loudly: "Tiger General Hua Mulan also greets the Right Sage King. Dare to ask what your army is here for? ”
No one knew what Lu Bi was going to do, King Youxian was just an ally, but it was not like an ally like Gao Che who had simply surrendered, so He Mulan didn't dare to relax for a moment, and kept watching the other party's expression.
When the man heard Hemulan's words, he was stunned, frowned, and asked again:
"What do you say? Tiger General Mulan? Are you Mulan? ”
He glanced Mulan up and down and shook his head violently.
"How can you be Mulan, our family's right virtuous king is just for ......"
Rao is Di Yefei no matter how much he expected things to be like a god, he never thought that there would be such a day, so he immediately covered his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
He Mulan was also the second monk who was puzzled, squinting at the army opposite.
The leader was dressed in gorgeous armor and was tall, not looking like a Rouran person, but a little like those Han generals in the army.
He Mullan opened his mouth and continued to ask:
"You ......"
At this time, Di Yefei, who was superb in riding, actually slipped off his horse for some reason, causing a cry.
"Ah Qihuo! Aqihuo? What happened to you?
What a name!
Hermulan was annoyed.
When the two armies face each other, it is the time to compete with each other......
Does this make people pretend to speak well?
