Chapter 55: One Will Succeed and Ten Thousand Bones Will Wither
Wang Rui and Weizi hurried overnight, and when the horse was no longer able to do it, they abandoned the horse, but fortunately the road was smooth.
On the second day, when the morning sun was slightly dewed, Shuozhou City was in sight.
The two of them did not have a token, and waited for the city gate to open, and then returned to the barracks to give orders.
At this time, Xiao Ping, Huang Yongda, Han Jinshu and others already knew the news of the Beirong army's lack of food, and they were overjoyed when they heard the report of Wang Rui and Weizi.
"You two go down and have a good rest, this time you have done a great job, hard work." Xiao Ping said.
Indeed, the burning of the company camp not only demoralized the Beirong army, but also made the Beirong army, which was short of food, even worse.
"General, are we taking advantage of the victory to pursue? If Beirong can be driven out of Hugu Pass in one fell swoop, the Spring War may be over. Huang Yongda said.
"General Huang is right, the last general seconded the proposal!" Han Jinshu said.
"Beat them out as soon as possible, let them run rampant in the customs in the past few years, my big business is a great shame!"
"That's it, capture Wen Liqing alive and use him to pay tribute to those soldiers who died in battle!"
"That's right, capture Wen Liqing alive!"
……
The other generals were furious for a while, and they all thought that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat the Beirong army in one fell swoop.
Xiao Ping saw that everyone's morale was high, and said: "Okay, the whole army is ordered to repair for two days, and the day after tomorrow to attack Hugukou." In addition, tell the soldiers that the Beirong soldiers are now short of food and clothing, and it is already the end of the crossbow, this battle is not only the time for our generation to make contributions, but also an opportunity to avenge the soldiers and people who died in Shuozhou and Jizhou! ”
After this order, the morale of the whole army was high.
Early in the morning of the third day, the flags were unfurled, the army was neat, and the Dashang army drove out of Shuozhou City and marched in the direction of Hugukou, and the morale of the whole army was high.
At noon on the fourth day, the army came to the plain outside Hugukou and set up camp to prepare for battle.
Wen Liqing, the marshal of the Beirong Army, originally wanted to steal the camp when the foothold of the Great Shang Army was not stable, but seeing that the Great Shang Army was neat and well defended, he had to give up this plan and concentrate on preparing for a duel on the battlefield on the second day.
At noon on the second day, the two armies lined up, and the big battle was imminent, Wen Liqing looked at the morale of the Dashang army on the opposite side, and sighed secretly.
What he didn't know was that at this time, in the mountain col on the upper left of his camp, Wang Rui was ambushing with three hundred elite soldiers.
At the beginning, Wang Rui and Weizi found the mountain road, but they could take a shortcut to get close to the Beirong camp, the best thing is that the original garrison here, after being burned to the company camp, actually completely ignored here, and forced the north side of the Beirong camp in Hugukou to be completely exposed, is it just by the mountains here? This is not a moat cliff, even if it is a moat, some guards must be arranged, right?
If Wen Liqing heard the question in Wang Rui's heart, he must feel very tight, he didn't want to send people to garrison, the problem is that in this war, several tribes in Beirong sent troops, and it was okay when he won the battle, but now he is defeated here, lack of food and no reinforcements, and it is more difficult to be stationed on the mountainside than to be stationed on flat land.
On the way here with Wang Rui and his people, he passed by the bones of Brother Li and Niu San, and in front of the pile of stones, he sprinkled wine to pay tribute: "Brother Li, third brother, we are about to attack Hugukou, if I can come back alive, I will send you back to Jizhou for burial," he paused, thinking of the lack of eyes on the battlefield, and said, "If I can't come back...... Then there's Viagra, he won't forget you, but I'll definitely be back! You have spirits in the sky, just watch us beat Beirong to the ground! With that, he poured the wine in front of the pile of stones, and walked on with the people.
A gust of mountain wind blew, blowing up the floating snow in front of the stone pile and blowing it in the direction of Hugukou. Is it a hot-blooded battle spirit, do you want to go to the battlefield again?
Wang Rui and other 300 people came to the designated mountain col to ambush them, they were all covered with white coats, very inconspicuous in the snow, there was still a way to go from the battlefield, and they heard the sound of the two armies beating drums and cheering in front of Hugukou in the distance, and the battle was imminent.
Wang Rui carefully checked, after making sure that there was no secret post around, he took people to lurk and run close to the Beirong camp in Hugukou about a hundred paces away, and took people to bend their bows and arrows, and released rockets.
This rocket went out and immediately set fire to the nearest camps, and the Beirong army spotted them and shouted: "The big merchants are there, catch them quickly!" ”
Wang Rui put the bow on his back and shouted, "Rush! One person rushed to the Beirong military camp first.
At this time, the battle of the Beirong army in Hugukou has been overwhelmingly defeated and retreated, and they originally wanted to retreat to the camp, according to the terrain of Hugukou, a small number of troops to hold the valley, but they could not be opened, but they did not expect that the camp suddenly caught fire again, and there was a shout of killing.
There were changes in the rear, the morale of the army was unstable, Wen Liqing ordered Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and Dashang continued to beat the drum and urge the battle.
This time, the big merchant army has a total of 200,000 elite soldiers, and the Beirong army is only about 100,000.
The Beirong soldiers originally only planned to retreat to Hugukou, but now they found that the rear barracks were on fire again, and they had no intention of resisting, so they were busy retreating.
Wang Rui and other 300 people like a sharp arrow, straight to the center of the Beirong barracks, the rockets in their hands kept shooting, the Beirong guards were busy chasing and intercepting, and finally they were surrounded after they rushed into the barracks nearly 300 steps, at this time there was a shout of "close the door and guard, the archers are ready" from outside the camp, and a group of people suddenly rushed out of the right side of the barracks, and the leader was Weizi Liu Youcai, there were enemies on three sides, and the Beirong military camp was in chaos for a while.
Beirong Marshal Wen Liqing saw that the situation was not good, so he led people to ride his horse directly out of the Chinese army, planning to flee to Hugu Pass and make plans again.
Wang Rui saw the command flag waving from a distance, and a big flag ran towards Hugukou, "whoosh" shot two arrows, and the two heralds who were waving the order flag fell down in response, "Viagra, hurry up and block that group of people, don't let them run!" ”
Wang Rui shouted as he led the people to rush out of the encirclement, and the people surrounding them saw that the Dashang army had rushed into the barracks, and they couldn't care about the encirclement anymore, so they ran back. Wang Rui kicked away the two Beirong soldiers in front of him, grabbed a spear, danced vigorously, and picked out a few cavalrymen.
"Don't let Wen Liqing run away, chase after him!" There were shouts from the Great Merchant Army.
Wang Rui turned his head and saw the handsome flag, which was getting farther and farther away from him, grabbed a horse and rode up to chase it, and there were also big merchant cavalry next to him to catch up, he ran a distance, jumped off the horse, stood on a chariot, bent the bow and shot over there, shot the horse first, a few horses fell in front, and then brought down the galloping horse next to him, he saw that among the group of people, there was a silver helmet, and the silver helmet was inserted with two feathers, concentrating and holding his breath, luck his arms, pulling the bow, and an arrow flew out of the air.
Someone next to him shouted: "Huzi, be careful!" ”
