The wind blew from all sides, raising dust and flags, blinding the eyes of the people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two armies faced each other, and the horses were restless, raising their legs back and forth. The generals and soldiers on horseback all tensed their faces, and a battle was about to break out.
The general of Woxi raised the single-hole telescope on his chest, put it in front of his eyes, and observed the situation on the other side, and after seeing clearly that the leading general was Su Changzhen, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Pang Yuelong squinted one eye and carefully observed Su Changzhen's expression in the distance from the binoculars.
"General, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is not easy to win this battle." On the back of a horse beside Pang Yuelong, a man with a dark face said with some concern.
"Hehe, the number of people is equal or the number of people is more than others, what's the point of winning the war?" Pang Yuelong put down the binoculars, then straightened the brim of his hat, and flicked back the pigtails that were hanging down his ears, revealing a confident smile.
"But...... Su Changzhen, who is on the other side, has been guarding the border for so many years, and he is a good hand at fighting, so don't underestimate the enemy. The dark-faced man had a worried look on his face.
"Humph! Lian is quite old, can he still eat? Ha ha! It's just an old immortal thing, I'm afraid of what he will do! Pang Yuelong sneered at Su Changzhen, ridiculing him for his advanced age and lack of fear.
Before the war began, the commanding generals of his own side were so light on the enemy, and the dark-faced man couldn't help but drum in his heart.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Pang Yuelong waved his hand, and the flag bearer on the side of the battlefield immediately waved the flag.
The horn sounded ...... "woo-woo".
"Knock knock knock ......" war drums beat.
"Up!" As soon as Pang Yuelong gave the order, the vanguard of the team immediately rushed out.
With the arrival of the war horse. High dust was immediately raised on the battlefield, and the vanguard troops of Jiuping Kingdom had not yet received orders, so they did not dare to move for the time being, and could only watch the enemy rush closer and closer in their direction.
"Su Guogong, the enemy has attacked." The deputy reminded Su Changzhen.
"Hmmm! Closer, this distance is still out of our range. Su Changzhen said calmly.
Su Changzhen's eyes at this time were as sharp as a goshawk, and he carefully observed the movements of the enemy team, constantly measuring the output point of his own troops and the attack distance of the opponent in his heart. Seeing that the enemy's vanguard was about to rush in front of him. Su Changzhen's eyes suddenly opened. With a big hand, he ordered: "Shoot!" ”
I saw that the array, which was still standing in front of the team just now, suddenly lowered down and raised their shields and spears one after another. Make a defensive stance. And behind them. The archers drew their bows full. For a moment, the arrows rained out and fell on the horses and enemy troops who were rushing towards them.
I saw people turning on their backs for a while. Screams and screams erupted. The horses, which could not stop their tracks, slowed down a lot because of the pain, but they still crashed into the shields and spears in front of the group, and none of them were spared.
Pang Yuelong was in the distance, seeing all this from the telescope, and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "What! With bows and arrows, spears and shields, they held back my vanguard. Hum! Keep going! ”
The dark-faced man hurriedly dissuaded: "General, our army has lost the vanguard and its morale has plummeted, so we should avoid its edge at this time and stop confronting them head-on." ”
"You know what? Retreat at this time, and morale will be even more finished! Pang Yuelong roared.
"General! Originally, the enemy was outnumbered, and the vanguard was lost, and it was inappropriate to forcibly attack at this time, and I hope the general will think twice! ”
"Up!" Pang Yuelong didn't listen and continued to give orders.
However, without waiting for the second wave of men and horses to rush forward, Su Changzhen had already reacted first, after killing Pang Yuelong's vanguard, before he could react, Su Changzhen had already ordered the cavalry to raid, and the two sides were divided and outflanked at the same time, forming a situation of encirclement for a while.
"Report! General, we are almost surrounded. ”
"What? Old man Su's reaction was so fast! "Pang Yuelong's second wave of men and horses has not yet been sent out, and the battle report has come.
The dark-faced man continued to persuade: "General, while the encirclement has not yet formed, quickly order the team to retreat!" A dozen miles behind us, there is a canyon, and if the other side dares to pursue, we can still pull back a game there. ”
The "......" battle had just begun, but it was obvious that Pang Yuelong had lost his control, and when he heard the man say this, he couldn't help but shake.
"General, the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and if you don't decide at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to retreat!"
Pang Yuelong gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Retreat! ”
"Withdraw!"
Receiving the order, the troops of the Woxi Kingdom immediately began to retreat, and quickly withdrew several miles before Su Changzhen's encirclement could form.
"Su Guogong, do you still want to keep chasing?" The deputy looked at the enemy team that was gone, reined in his horse, and asked Su Changzhen.
"Although there are books of war, and the poor are not chasing, but the opponent who is facing the old man today is a person who does not know the art of war, and his command has no rules. If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, I am afraid that you will not be able to deter them, and you will come to attack the people on the border again in the future. ”
"Then ......" should you chase it?
"Chase!" Su Changzhen gave an order, and the team began to pursue with all their might.
Soon, Su Changzhen's team chased them to a canyon. Standing at the entrance of the canyon, Su Changzhen immediately stopped the team.
"Stop!"
"Su Guogong, what's wrong? Why didn't you chase it all of a sudden? The deputy hurried back.
"The terrain here is narrow and the depth is too long, if you rush into it, I'm afraid there will be an ambush." Su Changzhen looked at the deep canyon in front of him with a pair of sharp eyes, thoughtful.
"However, we have already chased here, and if we give up, the enemy will run away." The deputy said with some concern.
"That's better than falling into someone else's ambush!" Su Changzhen stared at a pair of eyes and looked at his deputy angrily, "I've been marching and fighting with me for so many years, don't you know my temperament?" The old man will never fight a battle that he is not sure of, and he will not let his soldiers risk their lives! ”
"Yes! Su Guogong learned a lesson. The deputy's face darkened, and he hurriedly lowered his head, but his heart was dissatisfied.
"Send the order down, rest on the spot, and send a few spies to the front to explore the truth first." Su Changzhen commanded, then turned over and dismounted, handing the reins to a soldier behind him.
Seeing this, the deputy also hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said to Su Changzhen: "There are a lot of us, and this place happens to be the pass of the canyon, if you rest on the spot, once something happens, I am afraid that I will not be able to react, and the people and horses will push and shove, and I will be in chaos first." ”
Su Changzhen was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still asked quietly on the surface: "Then according to your meaning, what should I do?" (To be continued.) )
