Chapter 348: Enemies in the City
Chapter 348
The sun is shining, and it has been a few days that the Qiang army has only dispatched 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is indeed still a dark piece as far as the eye can see.
Although the number of Huiqiang is small, if you observe it carefully, you can still see that there are 5,000 cavalry in the center, 2,000 cavalry on both wings, and a total of 10,000 in the front and rear formations of the red Huiqiang army uniform, just like the maple forest in late autumn, fiery and red.
On the northern city wall, I didn't see the Zhengcang Emperor who drove the expedition in person, and even the figure of Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty of the Xining Dynasty.
A loud and energetic horn sounded, and dozens of northern soldiers on the northern city wall suddenly waved the banner of the Xining Dynasty, and the long black and gold-veined dragon circled with the fluttering of the banner, but the city gate was closed, and the city was empty.
Deng Si'er stood at such a high place on the city wall for the first time to watch the confrontation between the two armies, although he was a little sorry that his side did not move, but he was still excited, stretched out his finger and pointed at the slowly advancing Huiqiang army, and excitedly said to the deep-eyed Zuo idiot beside him:
"Lord Zuo, look, this time Qiang's army is different from ours. Weapons or clothes, it's not the same! ”
Deng Si'er's actions made Deputy General Dou Ba and the nearby sergeants around him laugh on their birthdays.
However, Deng Si'er's appearance was a fuss, but Deng Si'er said it well.
The 70,000 army of the Hui Qiang country, plus the bloodthirsty and crazy soldiers and the unknown number of fire and thunder, compared with the Xining army stationed on the northern border, the strength of the two armies is comparable, but they are very different styles.
Because the Xining Dynasty was good at making iron tools, most of the soldiers and generals in the army held broad-bodied swords or iron spears, while the Huiqiang army was different. In the Hui Qiang army, regardless of the generals and soldiers, everyone holds the crescent moon sword.
Not only that, but the cavalry on the two wings of the Xining and Huiqiang armies were even more different.
Although the Xining Dynasty did not send a cavalry team, Deng Si'er's observation in the past few days can also be seen from his own military camp that most of the cavalry of the Xining Dynasty are wearing light armor, steel helmets, and spears. But the Huiqiang army in front of them is different.
I saw that the cavalry team divided into two wings of the Huiqiang army was only dressed in battle robes, and they actually used scimitars as weapons on horses, but the scimitars in the hands of the cavalry were wider and longer than the scimitars used in ordinary things.
Suddenly, the Huiqiang drum sounded and the horn was loud, and the flag was hunting in the wind.
The cavalry on both wings of the Huiqiang took the lead, and the soldiers of the Chinese army marched forward in a neat pace, advancing like a mountain wall, shouting the word "kill" every three steps, and they were calmly rumbling forward.
At the same time, dozens of sergeants standing on the northern city wall vigorously sounded the trumpet, and the soldiers carrying the flag waved the black flag in response.
Deng Si'er turned his head to look, only to see countless flags fluttering in the wind beside him, hunting sounds, like a black sea tide sweeping towards the ground.
"It turns out that this is the battlefield ......" Deng Si'er suddenly sighed with emotion and couldn't help but say.
But I heard Dou Ba say in a deep voice on the side:
"No, Deng Si'er, this is not a real battlefield. Without blood fighting, without life and death, how can it be considered a real battlefield? However, I'm sure it won't be a few days before you'll see the real battlefield, and you'll be sighing before you can do it. ”
Hearing this, Deng Si'er looked at Dou Ba's resolute side face, nodded and said:
"Hmm."
But at this moment, another general standing on the city wall next to him said in a deep voice:
"Stopped."
Hearing this, Deng Si'er hurriedly became serious, and looked at the Huiqiang army surrounded under the city like everyone around him.
I saw that the people leading the Hui Qiang army stepped forward, and at the front of the Hui Qiang army, pointed at the people on the city wall with the scimitar in their hands, and said in a disdainful tone:
"When you listened, those who knew each other quickly abandoned the city and surrendered, and the general might be able to spare your life. If you don't know each other, then send one that works, and you will meet the general's scimitar. ”
"This person is ......" Seeing this, Zuo Idiot turned his head sideways and asked Dou Ba softly.
This general had fought against Dou Ba before, and they knew each other well.
When Dou Ba heard Zuo's question, he said:
"This person's name is Bazabu, is the brother-in-law of He Hu, the fourth son of the King of Huiqiang, although he is not very shrewd, but he is not reckless, don't look at him is only holding a scimitar, but its scimitar plays, even me, it is very laborious to deal with, several times almost injured by Bazabu's scimitar, this person is very insidious, the knife down, pretending to attack your vital parts, in fact, the target is your hands and feet. A few of our brothers have suffered from his kind of dark loss. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot nodded and said lightly:
"It turned out to be He Hu's people."
Deng Si'er had limited knowledge of Hui Qiang, but He Qili was alone, and when he heard this, he was puzzled:
"Who is He Hu?"
I just listened to the left idiot explain:
"He Hu is the fourth son of the current King of Huiqiang, and like He Qili, he has the right to inherit the leader of Huiqiang, and the two are also well-known rivals in the entire Huiqiang. Unexpectedly, it was He Hu's people who came to provoke in front of our army today. ”
Deng Si'er nodded when he heard this:
"In that case, isn't it just what you and Lord Liu Heng said before?"
Dou Ba also responded:
"Not really. Before, we were worried that the generals who came were from Heqili, so it would be difficult to do, but now it seems that God really favors me Xining. ”
Deng Si'er nodded, looked at the war book that Zuo Idiot had been holding in his hand, and then glanced at the Huiqiang army of 10,000 people under the city wall, and said:
"What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot gently curled the corners of his mouth and said softly:
"Vice Admiral Dou, can you borrow a bow?"
Dou Ba didn't quite understand what Zuo Idiot was going to do when he heard this, shouldn't the secret road battle book be read out in public?
Although he was puzzled, Dou Ba still turned around and found a big bow that looked very quaint, and handed it to Zuo Idiot while saying:
"This bow is not light, do you think it is enough?"
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot weighed the bow in his hand, and said with a smile:
"My goal, in my eyes, is only a stone's throw away, and this bow looks up to them."
Listening to the slightly frivolous words in Zuo Idiot's mouth, Dou Ba couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Deng Si'er, then retreated, waiting for Zuo Idiot's move.
The other generals on the city wall also couldn't help but show puzzled eyes, looking at this man dressed in white and wearing a hat, although he didn't know what his identity was and what he was going to do now, but General Zuo had already ordered that today on this city wall, first, he could not go out of the city to fight; Second, in all matters, obey the words of the man in white in front of him.
Moreover, these two orders were not only issued by General Zuo, but also personally approved by Emperor Zhengcang.
I saw that Zuo idiot was in the eyes of everyone, hiding his hands under the city wall where the enemy could not see, pulling the bow and arrows, and actually letting Deng Si'er tie the battle book to the bow and arrow.
Zuo Idiot secretly lucked his internal strength, and suddenly, he raised his bow and shot towards the flag-bearer beside Bazabu, the leader of the Huiqiang army.
Immediately, with the sound of the enemy snorting and falling to the ground, there were bursts of cheers from the northern city wall:
"Good! Good! Good! (To be continued.) )
