Chapter 168: The Battlefield (Today's Third Watch 3 )
The battle flag fluttered, the drums thundered, the 50,000 soldiers of the forward battalion were ready to go, and the personal slave Yu'e led my Aoxue war horse to the tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The white horse and silver helmet, shining under the light, are particularly dazzling. Gu Liang beside me helped me and whispered, "Pay attention to safety." ”
My face was full of happiness, and I felt my body lifted by him, and I sat firmly on the horse's back with that strength.
The armor on my body is really heavy, and if I hadn't worn so much, I think I would have been able to jump on it with my own ability.
Gu Liang rode the Luoyan horse that he borrowed from Ruyang Palace yesterday and followed me closely.
The brigade began to walk out of the camp one after another, and the speed was not particularly fast because of the large number of people, and by about 10 o'clock in the morning, it was already close to the place where the forward camp was stationed.
This camp is much smaller than the previous one, sandwiched between the two mountains next to the road, I looked up at the terrain, there are also sub-camps set up on the mountain streams in the two places, if it is attacked by a sneak attack, it can only be a frontal attack, unless the brigade of men and horses can go around the mountains to climb the mountain, otherwise it is impossible to intercept the road and attack.
I slowed down my horse and stood in a row, and asked him softly, "You said they would come to attack at night, where did they come from?" ”
Gu Liang shook his head: "The book "The Duke of the Hidden Fence" does not mention it, it only says that it was attacked at night, attacked it unprepared, fought, and captured the Duke of the Hidden Fence. ”
I glanced at him helplessly and sighed, "Will I die if I write a few more words?" The ancients were just stingy. ”
"Let's prepare for defense in advance at night, there shouldn't be an accident, and when the sun goes down, I'll send you to the reserve camp, which is safer than here."
"Well, I'll see when the time comes."
As we spoke, we had already arrived at the main tent of the forward battalion, and everything was going very smoothly, and the two lieutenants stepped forward to meet the battle.
Gu Liang and Dumo and I stood in the distance halfway up the mountain and watched the battle.
In an open and flat basin, there are not too many trees growing, and the green grass sways in the wind, like a natural ring.
Looking at the soldiers in black armor at the foot of the opposite hill, I compared it, and the number should be about the same.
The two lieutenants rode out of the camp first, and the ground was rolled up with speckled mud and grass. The other side also discharged two generals, and this is a 2v2 battle.
"Liang, who do you think will win?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this game should be a draw."
Flat? That's good, no one loses and no one wins. I just thought and watched with peace of mind.
When one of our lieutenants rushed in front of the opponent, the two men fought, swords and spears bumping into each other and waving dazzlingly.
I think it's a nervousness, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
The enemy general was turning his horse, and our lieutenant general was about to take advantage of this gap to raise his broadsword and slash over, but he didn't expect that when the opponent did not completely turn around, he used a blow back to the horse pistol, which hit the lieutenant general in the throat.
I couldn't see the blood when I was so far away, but I knew he was going to choke on it.
"Oops!" I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, and watched the deputy general be picked off the horse, and suddenly it was dark in front of me, and Gu Liang beside me covered my eyes with his hand.
"Don't look at it, go back to the tent and wait."
No, my people are going to die, how can I sneak back to the camp and hide without looking. Pulling Gu Liang's hand away, I saw the enemy cut off the head of the lieutenant general with the saber at his waist, and rode away on his own horse, and only the headless corpse and his horse lay on the grass.
I used to think that I could watch the people here fight and kill indifferently, because they are not the fate that I want to change, but when I really stand here and become the leader of countless people, I can't convince myself to watch them die on the battlefield.
The lieutenant general has obviously lost, and if he is beaten to the horse, forget it, why don't you let him go? Why cut off his head?
Nima~~~ I feel that my eyes are bloodshot, and I have to get an explanation, no matter how Gu Liang and Dumo stop me, they can't calm me down.
Back at the camp, I rode my snow horse and galloped towards the battle.
When the general went out to fight, the drums behind him became louder, echoing in the mountain stream like thunder on a sunny day.
Rushing out of the camp, I found that Dumo actually ran out with me, and the confrontation in the middle of the battlefield was a confrontation, this time our lieutenant won the battle, and the opposing enemy general fled.
"Don't go! ――――――," I shouted.
The defeated enemy stopped his horse and looked back at me.
"You send back our lieutenant's head!!"
He looked at me stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand at all, and ran back to his camp.
"Little Weiwei, have you heard a word?" Dumo sat on his horse beside him and said.
"What?"
"Impulsiveness is the devil, you said that now that you are here, it will be fine if you win, if you lose this battle, how can you fight, and besides, you are injured and the boss is so sad."
As soon as I lifted the armor on my arm, I wanted to tell him that there was no need to say more, but I didn't expect that all our camps in the distance raised their spears and shields, and they were likely to attack immediately.
Well? I looked back, and when I lowered my arm, it was too late for Tsuma's reminder.
"Don't!"
Seeing our soldiers rushing up, I realized what I had done.
You shouldn't have raised your hand...
The opposing team's black cavalry also rushed up, and when we lined up, the front of our side were mainly defensive-oriented shield soldiers, so the people on the opposite side ran to my side faster.
It was like a black sandstorm sweeping in, and my heart trembled.
Du Mofei next to him dismounted, took out his brush from his arms, dipped it in his lips and tapped it, and quickly wrote a spell in his hand.
Suddenly knelt down on one knee, slapped his palm heavily on the ground, and the green grass seemed to be infused with magic, growing rapidly.
The black war horse was caught in the grass and fell into a patch a few hundred meters away from me.
I was speechless by what I saw, and I sat on my horse and watched.
The outbreak of the war was only in the evening, the enemy saw the defeat of the cavalry, and immediately sent ten thousand bows and crossbows, I looked at the sky full of stars and flashes, and it was a sunny sky and a rain of stars, until my own soldiers built a towering shield wall, only to understand that it was countless arrows rain.
The body of an arrow pierced the soldier's body through the gap in the shield, and blood gushed out, and I stared blankly at the fallen generals around me, my mind blank.
The bow and arrow flew at me at a rapid pace, and I just watched it without reacting at all.
Aoxue hissed and raised her front hooves, and then I hurriedly grabbed the reins to prevent myself from falling off its back, and the arrow feathers pressed against my cheek, if it weren't for Aoxue, I would have been hit by this arrow.
Apparently frightened, Aoxue rushed out of the shield fortress, and I had to slung it on its back and let it carry me away.
"Xiaowei! Come back soon!! ――――――”
I vaguely heard Gu Liang's shouts behind me, but I couldn't control the crazy war horse at all.
