Chapter 211: The Goshawk (II)
When Xiao Ziqi reduced his staff to 5,300 people, Xiao Tienu began to lose control of the situation. He still has more than 2,000 diehards on hand, and these people believe that Xiao Tienu will not throw them into the pot, and it is precisely because of this core team that Xiao Ziqi is not in chaos, but the generals outside these people are beginning to be unable to sit still.
"Tomorrow, will it be my turn?"
The night was terrifyingly cold, especially the wind blowing from the lake, which was reminiscent of the yin winds in hell!
"Six...... The six generals ......" Lu Yanlun said worriedly: "The 'military rations' are almost gone. β
It's almost gone? Then we have to kill another batch of people! No matter what excuse is used. But is it useful to kill any longer?
"Looks like I've really been abandoned......" Xiao Tienu thought. It was not only his brothers who abandoned him, but also God: "Is my road to the end of this Wuliang Suhai?" β
Suddenly, the eastern sky flashed with a bright and beautiful firework!
"Ahh Firework! β
Many people have stood up!
"Was it just a hallucination? How can there be fireworks in this place? β
Even Xiao Tienu was a little stunned, he only had time to see the sporadic light before the fireworks disappeared just now.
"Fireworks...... Firework...... It's the fireworks of the Han Department......" Lu Yanlun's tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes: "That's right! This is 'Bright Flowers'! It's a firework that we only have! We haven't been abandoned yet, six generals, they ...... They remember us! β
Xiao Tienu was also stunned, and the Han Ministry came to help? How is this possible? Even if Yang Yingqi had this heart, his people were now thousands of miles away, how could he fly here to save himself by crossing the three major forces of Tart, Zongwang, and Zonghan? But if not, how can it be explained? Now that he is in a desperate situation, the Xia people don't need to set up tricks anymore, as long as they trap him for a few more days, then Xiao Ziqi will have to fight even if he doesn't starve to death! There's no need for the other party to set up tricks!
"Could it be...... Are there really reinforcements? β
Xiao Ziqi had already had the soldiers in charge of the night vigil out to reconnoitre, and came back to report: "The Xia army found fireworks, and the formation seems to have moved. β
At this moment, the sky was shining again, this time because of the previous preview, Xiao Ziqi thousands of people all saw it, most of them didn't know what was going on, but they also faintly felt that things had changed.
Lu Yanlun said: "This is 'Yin and Yang Divide'! That's right, it's Hanbu's top fireworks! β
"Yin and Yang are divi......ded," Xiao Tienu asked, "What time is it?" β
Lu Yanlun said: "Second watch." β
"Good!" Xiao Tienu said: "Take out the rest of the 'military rations', everyone is full, the fourth watch is ready to fight, and set off immediately at dawn!" Kill it! β
Lu Yanlun was both excited and scared in his heart, and said, "But if it's a trap......"
"Even if it's a trap, you have to kill it!" Xiao Tienu said: "We have no choice!" β
The general went to pass the order, and Lu Yanlun said: "Do you want to find a way to notify the people outside?" β
"Of course!" Xiao Tienu said: "Choose ten wrestlers, eat your stomach, I'll take them to beat the drum!" β
On the periphery of the encirclement, Yelu Yu and the others looked at the Xia people's station with concern.
"General!" Han Funu reported: "The night is dark and the wind is high, and the Xia army does not dare to go out of the camp, but it is just a strict precaution. β
Yelu Yu nodded and said, "Very good." β
Xiao Qingdao: "We have 7,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xia people are only 30,000, even if they are not afraid of being intercepted by them even if they hit it head-on, now the Xia army is in the light, our army is in the dark, and they are all cavalry, even if we don't expect this battle, we can retreat with our whole body." But if Xiao Ziqi is dead, wounded, or weak, I am afraid that we will take them out by our strength......"
Before he could finish speaking, a thunderous drum suddenly sounded in the encirclement! The drum is vibrating, one-way, two-way, three-way! Shocked the Xia army camp to see a slight hectic. After the three-way drum, there was a stop, and there were two more general orders! The sound of the drum suddenly stopped at the highest place, like an angry horse galloping, and suddenly stood in front of the formation, and the power was extremely amazing.
Yelu Yu smiled and said, "Good Xiao Ziqi!" After being surrounded for so long, you still have such strength! It seems that he not only has the strength to walk, but also the strength to fight! Just now, the left side of the Xia army was quite chaotic, and I want to come to this road where the military discipline is looser, hey! Order, rest on the spot, launch a general attack at dawn, and attack the left side of the Xia army together! β
Some generals also guessed that the enemy army might have to join forces with the outside, but at this time they were not clear about the situation, and they were afraid that sending troops and horses would fall into the trap of the other party in the dark night, so they only ordered to take strict precautions and wait until the next day to make plans - this is indeed the safest plan.
From the second watch to the end of the fourth watch, there was no sound inside and outside the encirclement, and people were the most sleepy in the period before dawn, and the Xia soldiers gradually relaxed when they saw that there was nothing to do in the middle of the night, and many people dozed off.
On the fifth watch day, the eastern sky showed a glimmer of dawn, and the two soldiers and horses inside and outside the Xia army's encirclement suddenly attacked together! Yelu Yu saw that he was carrying a group of fresh troops, and his mental state was far better than that of Xia Jun, who began to slack off; Xiao Tienu is carrying thousands of desperate wolves, whether they live or die is completely here, so they are all desperate!
Yelu Yu saw that he rushed to kill the left side of the Xia army from the outside to the inside, and he was greedy because the military discipline on the left side was scattered; Xiao Tienu rushed to kill the right side of the Xia army from the inside out, looking at the thin defense on the right side. Although the two roads couldn't fight together, they cut the Xia army into left, middle, and right sections like two knives, and the Xia army's formation was in chaos!
Yelu Yujian's original purpose was to contain the Xia army's strength and let Xiao Ziqi escape, and Xiao Tienu's original purpose was to escape, but both of them were people who were quite flexible in their military skills, and when they saw that the Xia army was going to change, they immediately changed their strategy, impacting left and right, while shouting: "Dajin's 100,000 troops come to help, capture the Xia Ren commander alive!" β
The morale of the Xia army was depressed, the defeat was irreversible, the commander did not dare to entangle, and packed up the remnants of the defeated army and went to Xia Tu.
In this battle, the Xia people lost their armor, and although Xiao Ziqi also rushed out in one go, it was already the end of the crossbow after this battle. Yelu Yu didn't come to meet Xiao Tienu, so he led his troops to follow Xia Jun to chase after him.
At this time, the sky was already white, and Xiao Tienu sent people to collect the rations left by the Xia people and build a stove for cooking. After thousands of catastrophes, the remaining soldiers will look back at the hills and valleys by the lake full of skeletons, and they all have the feeling of being reborn as a human being.
"Sixth General," Lu Yanlun said, "Zong Han has now torn off his face with us, where do we have to go next?" β
Xiao Tienu snorted and said, "Yelu Yu didn't come to see me after saving us, presumably he didn't want to officially break with Zong Han!" I still want to pretend to be confused! The next road is up to us! β
Lu Yanlun said: "The west is the Western Xia border, and the south is the Great Song border, both of which must be heavily guarded!" Here we are...... I'm afraid I won't be able to fight a tough battle. β
After this siege and betrayal, Xiao Ziqi was extremely tiredβnot physical tiredness, but psychological fatigue! Xiao Tienu naturally knew that he had to find a way to boost the morale of the army first, otherwise once the cohesion was lost, the Xiao Ziqi would not be able to go anywhere!
"Sixth General," Lu Yanlun said, "Why don't we go back to Yunnei?" β
"Yunnei?" Xiao Tienu snorted and said, "You can go anywhere, but you can't go in Yunnei!" β
Lu Yanlun said: "You mean, Wanyan Xiyin will break his face with us?" β
Xiao Tienu said: "If we are strong and strong, and the soldiers use our lives, we will not be afraid to see Yan Xiyin at that time." But if I go to Yunnei like this now, if Wanyan Xiyin orders me to dismiss the army, I'm afraid half of these 5,000 people will be disarmed and obey orders! That's when we're all done. β
Lu Yanlun paused: "What can I do then?" We have no land, no money and food, and we can't rest! But Yelu Yu saw that he ran away again! β
"It's good that he can help us." Xiao Tienu said coldly: "The next thing is up to us." β
"Newspaper - Sixth General, there is a man who claims to be a merchant in Liaokou who asks to see him."
Xiao Tienu and Lu Yanlun glanced at each other, and Lu Yanlun said, "Bring him to see him!" β
At this time, Xiao Ziqi didn't even have a camp tent, and the soldiers and generals were all disheveled and malnourished, just arranged in groups according to the ranks, or squatting or lying on the ground to eat and rest, and seeing Chen Chu, an outsider, walking into the battle, all eyes were full of unkindness, and Chen Chu was also quite emotional when he saw the powerful Xiao Ziqi fall to such a point. He followed the sergeant's guidance to a camp tent left by the Xia army, and as soon as he entered the tent door, his eyes were attracted by a general with scars on his face, and he didn't even hear Lu Yanlun speak to him at all!
Xiao Tienu stared at Chen Chu, and suddenly said, "Your name is Chen Chu, from Liaokou?" β
"Yes." Chen Chu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. He suddenly noticed that the general in front of him was speaking in a tone that was very appetizing to himself.
Xiao Tienu asked again: "Did Ying Qi send you?" β
Chen Chu smiled slightly and said, "Although I wasn't sent by the Seventh General, it's almost the same. β
Xiao Tienu sighed and said, "Don't give me a flower!" Tell the truth! β
Chen Chu did not hide it, and at the moment he told how Yang Yingqi sent caravans to Mobei and Western Xia to buy thousands of horses, how he became the leader of a caravan, how he found that the Jinxia war broke out again in the Hetao area, how he entered Yelu Yujian's army, and how he pretended to be Yang Yingqi's envoy to urge Yelu Yujian to send troops.
The more Xiao Tienu listened, the more strange he became, and he was suspicious at first, but then he was just distracted, and finally laughed and said: "In this way, you are my savior!" Haha, what are you doing for me? β
Chen Chu smiled and said, "I'm not doing things for the six generals, I'm just doing things for myself." β
Xiao Tienu said: "Hehe! You're straight at that! Good! I believe you for the time being. No matter what you're for, I'll always repay you for helping me. β
Chen Chu smiled slightly and said, "If you can get the words of the sixth general, Chen Chu's trip is worth it." As for repay...... Hey! When Chen Chu returned to Jinmen, he had a reward of 10,000 gold waiting for him, which was not a matter of concern to the sixth general. β
"10,000 gold bounty?" Xiao Tienu said: "Who is hanging the reward?" What is the reward? β
Chen Chu said: "It's what I just mentioned, the reward of the Seventh General's Maxima!" β
"Maxima?" Xiao Tienu asked, "You found it?" β
Chen Chu looked at Xiao Tienu and said with a smile: "The sixth general, the seventh general's hanging thousand mile horse, if Chen Chu guessed correctly, it should be ......."
Lu Yanlun couldn't help but ask, "What is it?" β
Chen Chu said: "It's the sixth general!" β
