Chapter 2: Lao Tzu and his son
With the arrival of Stilwell and Stilyan, coupled with the rest of Guo Dingyuan's troops, the number of troops of the coalition army in the camp of Tangtailang finally exceeded that of Zhang Xiqiao, and the two sides launched a tug-of-war outside the city of Xinzhou, and the results of the battle were unknown for a while, and the left army responsible for the broken left army continued to retreat from the front line, which is not a good sign, indicating that Wu Sizhong is defeating the defense line formed by the left army in one place and is heading towards us, as long as they rush in, Wu Sizhong can integrate the remnants of the Tailang army to face us from the south to form a fatal blow.
At this time, if the Feifeng Army can rush out first, then this battle can be described as brilliant, but if it is one step later to be caught up by the enemy behind, the losses will inevitably be heavy, and it may even be wiped out by the whole army, my mother and Zhang Xiqiao are well aware of this, one is in a hurry to leave with the victory, and the other is like a rotten net pocket desperately holding on, and the fierceness of the fight between the two sides is really indescribable.
At this moment, a dazzling fire suddenly glowed in the northeast, and then the ground shook slightly, and the sound was that a large number of cavalry were galloping quickly. I, Stilwell, and Stilyan looked at each other and said in unison, "It's reinforcements from Lizhou again!" ”
Sure enough, Zhang Xiqiao's department was swept away by this torrent, and it could move 200,000 horses, and it seemed that the reinforcements this time were far more than the number of people brought by the Stilwell Stilyan brothers, and countless torches from far and near quickly approached the battlefield where we were, and by the light of the fire, I saw a huge banner floating in the sky, with the words "History of General Fuyuan" written on it, and the number of people was at least 200,000, Stilwell excitedly said: "Great, it's my father!" But Stilyan said, "No, it's my father!" The two brothers have different surnames and moods, Stilwell is no matter what, seeing that the reinforcements arrived and won the battle first, Stilyan was worried that he would have no face to Shi Chi and was afraid that he would be held accountable.
The banner is less than a mile away from us, but it is not greedy, and it has always moved forward step by step, Hegis has already been overwhelmed by the reinforcements from the left of the Hong Lie Army, and now he suddenly saw a large number of cavalry equal to his own number appeared, and the military spirit has changed, but Zhang Xiqiao is obviously not a simple person, he is divided into two ways and all the way to refuse to fly the Feng Army all the way back to block Shi Chi, everyone understands that he is delaying time and waiting for rescue, no matter which side of Wu Sizhong and Qin Yiwu reinforcements arrive, it is possible to turn the battle back.
In this battle, the Hegis Army was not brave, but in this local battle, our number finally reached twice as many as them for the first time in history, not to mention the Feifeng Army, the vanguard battalion cavalry led by Shi Chi was also the most elite unit in the Honglie Army, the two sides attacked, Zhang Xiqiao's department suffered heavy casualties, and the sphere of influence was also shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, my mother muttered: "I hope Shi Chi will not rush forward, first gather the superior forces of our two armies to completely eat Zhang Xiqiao!" And Shi Chi's pioneer camp was just as she wished, never launching a surprise attack but slowly advancing in a crushing manner, and my mother exclaimed: "Jiang is really still old and spicy, Shi Chi and I want to go together." ”
At this time, the Hegis army is like a piece of ice sandwiched between two soldering irons is slowly melting, although according to this momentum, it will eventually be completely wiped out, but the final loss of the coalition army will be huge, in the fierce battle, Su Jing suddenly jumped high, and said loudly: "Zhang Xiqiao's head is here, you still don't surrender?" Saying that, he threw a head in his hand to the ground, the Hegis soldiers were shocked when they heard this, the lineup suddenly fell apart, the coalition army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, the lack of support of Hegis intensified, and finally collapsed after a while, Su Jing stood majestically in the air, the Feifeng Army has always worshiped Su Jing as the god of war in the army, and at this time, the Hong Lie Army also had a yearning feeling, the coalition army won the division, and the soldiers also cheered together.
Stilyan looked into the air stupidly, while Stilwell pouted, and said regretfully in my ear: "Fifth brother, you have been robbed of the limelight by this girl, and you have disappointed me too much." ”
I only smiled slightly, Su Jing suddenly shook in mid-air, and her body fell straight down, I was taken aback, and hurriedly urged Oolong to find the right place to pick her up, in the eyes of others, she fell on my horse just right, but I saw that the edge of her dress was full of blood, with this girl's cleanliness, I knew that she would never be so embarrassed when she arrived at the West Mountain, and couldn't help but whisper: "Xiao Jingjing, are you okay?" Su Jing didn't answer, gasping behind me for a long time, and suddenly a mouthful of spicy blood sprayed on my back, and then I heard her say weakly: "There are two masters around Zhang Xiqiao...... Don't let anyone else see it! ”
"What about the two masters?"
“…… I've solved it, don't stop, let me take this breath first. ”
I hurriedly straightened my body and rode slowly through the coalition army, and after a long time, I heard the words behind me: "Okay." I was in a hurry, but I could only pretend to come to the meeting place of the coalition forces slowly, and as soon as the newly arrived reinforcements opened their feet, a general swept out of his armor, and Stilyan and Stilwell saw this man and bowed their heads together and said, "Father." "The person who came was really Shi Chi.
Shi Chi glared at the two of them sternly, and finally his gaze stayed on me, and I smiled and said, "Dad, why are you here?" Saying that, I secretly glanced at my mother, and shouted at others in front of her that my father was honest, and I was also embarrassed in my heart, but fortunately, my mother watched indifferently from the side, looking inconvenient to meddle in other people's family affairs.
Shi Chi glanced at the three of us one by one viciously, and said indignantly: "Lao Tzu's three sons are all surrounded, what can Lao Tzu do if he doesn't send troops?" ”
As soon as Stilwell heard this, he knew that Shi Chi was worried about unnecessary blame, so he hurriedly helped his arm, pretending that the old injury had recurred, while Stilwell sighed and stepped aside.
Shi Chi glanced at the opposite side, came to his mother's horse and arched his hand: "This must be Your Excellency the General of the Daughter Country." The old mother also said politely: "General Shi is polite." ”
Shi Chi said with a straight face: "According to the agreement between the two countries, won't the general only enter Fuzhou City tomorrow?" ”
My mother smiled slightly and said: "The way of war is to act cheaply, I saw that Wu Sizhong was lax in his defense, so I advanced the plan by a day." ”
"Oh, even so, why did your army come to Fuzhou and not enter, and actually appeared outside Xinzhou City?"
My mother said: "Surprise attack unprepared, I expect that Tailang was negligent in taking precautions and touched his camp in one go, this battle was fortunate to have General Shi's help, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Shi Chi's anger increased, and he suddenly turned his head to me and said loudly: "You brought the Fuzhou soldiers out of the city, right?" ”
I saw Stilwell grimacing at me, knowing that Shi Chi must know the cause and effect of this, so he avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "Dad, now is not the time to be held responsible, there are still many brothers in our Left Route Army who are trapped behind, please send someone to rescue them." ”
Shi Chi glared and said, "You stabbed Lou Zi yourself, go and figure it out yourself." ”
Guo Dingyuan said hurriedly: "General Chi, please be sure to help the young general and my face, those are all your own brothers!" ”
Shi Chi snorted and said, "What's the situation now?" ”
Guo Dingyuan said: "The 120,000 horses of the Left Route Army were dragged by the middle of Wu Si for nearly six or seven hours in order to cover the surprise attack of friendly troops, and I don't know if there are 4 out of 10 percent." ”
The more Shi Chi listened, the more angry he became, pointing at my nose and saying, "What a good thing you did!" ”
Guo Dingyuan said in frustration: "General Chi doesn't have to be angry with the young general, I also have a share in this matter." ”
I waved my hand and said, "Okay, I'll take all the responsibility." I turned to Shi Chi and said, "Dad, will you save these people?" ”
Shi Chi listened to my stern tone, and was stunned by my question, how did he know that I was ready to say goodbye to the Honglie Empire, this son could be less than a while, but I really couldn't give up the old department of the Left Route Army, so I had to take power.
Shi Chi paused and said solemnly: "According to what you said, the central part of Wu Si has not suffered any damage, and we have only wiped out 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tailang with great difficulty, so there are at least more than 1 million horses and horses of Hegis behind us, and it will be useless for us to rush back." ”
Guo Dingyuan's eyes were blood-red and said: "General Chi, that's not how the account is calculated!" ”
My mother said: "General Shi, it's better to be like this, if you are willing to kill back, my Feifeng Army can help you." ”
Shi Chi said coldly: "Forget it, if it weren't for General Zhao's 'clever strategy', how could our brothers of the Left Route Army be trapped, isn't it too late for you to be a good person now?" ”
"You are presumptuous!" Zhang Qianhu and Li Wei and several other female generals suddenly shouted, and my mother waved her hand to stop them, and said lightly: "General Shi, I know you have an opinion about me, but I want to tell you that there are many people killed in our Feifeng Army in this battle, you can go and ask your brothers in the Left Route Army why they are willing to break off for us, and we have a trace of cowardice and hesitation to kill all the way?" In your eyes, we women are useless, but we are not worthy of anyone. ”
When my mother said this, the Hong Martyrs of the Pioneer Battalion were looking at the Feifeng Army, these female soldiers were all blood-stained robes, bows and arrows, and blades were rolled, and they couldn't help but be shocked and speechless, although the Hong Lie Empire and the Daughter Country have been fighting against the same enemy, but this scene is the first time to see it.
Shi Chi finished for a while, sighed and said, "Please ask General Zhao to go back to Lizhou with me to recuperate, this is also the greatest effort that our Hong Liejun can do." ”
The old mother shook her head slowly and said: "We are not going anywhere except for the daughter country now, the Honglie Empire is the first power in the federal continent in vain, but it has no faith in its words, and there is no sincerity in forming an alliance with others, we are all outside with our hearts and brains, but Shi Cundao refuses to even show his face, and the future cooperation is also empty words." ”
Shi Chi said: "In this matter, your daughter country is in breach of contract first!" ”
My mother said: "It's useless to talk about it so far, let's say goodbye." Said a meaningful look at me, then waited aside, my mother is to say a final goodbye to me and the Shi family, I have mixed feelings in my heart, lost my soul came to Shi Chima, raised his hand and shook at him and the two brothers, and for a while I didn't know where to start, so I had to whisper: "Everyone, this ......"
Stilwell laughed, "What guys, are you stimulated?" ”
"Uh...... In fact...... "I traced the origin, and just about to tell how I impersonated Shi Dizai, I heard someone howling in the distance: "Young master, I disappointed you young master!" I looked up in the direction where the voice came from, about twenty or so horses ran from the side of Xinzhou City, Zhang Shilei flew at my feet from a distance, crying bitterly and said: "Young master, I'm sorry for you!" ”
I smiled indifferently and said, "It's not your fault. ”
Zhang Shilei was stunned and said: "Why is it not my fault?" ”
I said, "Didn't you just come to the rescue?" I thought about it a long time ago, and besides, I'm not your young master. ”
Zhang Shilei was shocked: "Young master, are you not letting your subordinates continue to follow you?" The people behind him also knelt on the ground and begged in a mess, "Young master, you can't do without us." ”
I sighed and said, "Get up and listen to me." ”
Zhang Shilei suddenly grabbed my leg and said: "You listen to me first and then deal with us - it's not that he is despicable and greedy for life and afraid of death, but Wei Wuji's martial arts are too strong, even if we want to find him desperately, we can't fight it!" ”
I wondered, "Wei Wuji? What's the matter with him? ”
Zhang Shilei said: "The subordinates were ordered to escort Tailang back to Xinzhou, I didn't want this person to kill him halfway, not to mention robbing Tailang, and killing more than 30 of our brothers. ”
"I see, so you haven't seen my grandfather either?"
Zhang Shilei said: "I saw it, I wanted to die immediately, but I wanted the military situation to be important, so I went into the city to meet the old marshal, and told him what you had to say. Saying that, I pulled out the knife and put it on my neck and was about to kill myself, I kicked his knife far away, and said angrily: "Go and go, what kind of mess, if you lose a Tailang, you will lose it, what is there to die?" ”
I heard someone say in a deep voice: "Yes, it is better to lose it than not to lose it, they are all old people for more than 40 years, and the old man really doesn't know how to face him." ”
"Grandpa?" My eyes widened unexpectedly, and in the darkness, a tall figure gradually walked into the light, it was Shi Cundao.
The brothers Shi Chi and Stine Stilwell were also surprised: "Father! "Grandfather!"
Zhang Shilei wiped a handful of tears and said: "Young master, although I lost it to me, fortunately, the marshal and his old man were willing to send troops, and finally didn't mess up all the tasks you gave me." "At the same time, the figures behind Shi Cundao overlapped, there were many secrets, and I don't know how many people came, they deliberately did not light the lights and did not hurry, we and Hajith just finished the decisive battle, but we didn't find that they were surrounded by people.
Shi Cundao looked at Zhang Shilei and said to me: "I have been fighting with Na Tailang for 40 years, it is difficult for the two of us to live for so long, this can be regarded as a kind of fate, if I really see him, it is difficult to guarantee that he may be open to him, he has suffered this humiliation, and it will be difficult to lead the troops when he goes back, just run away, but that Wei Wuji is hateful, don't blame these little ones." ”
"I never blamed them." I said to Zhang Shilei, "Did you hear me, the marshal has spoken, get up." ”
Zhang Shilei said gratefully: "Thank you young master, we will definitely make up for it, if the young master doesn't kill us, it's good that we will die on the battlefield." ”
I pouted and said, "What is dead or alive, after this battle, give me a good home to farm!" ”
Shi Chi took two steps and asked, "Father, why are you here in person?" ”
Shi Cun said: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu's son and grandson almost wrapped people up, can you still count on you if Lao Tzu doesn't come in person?" ”
Shi Chi: "......"
When Stilyan and Stilwell saw that their Lao Tzu had eaten the newspaper of the present world so quickly, they wanted to be happy but didn't dare to be happy, and they almost suffocated their internal injuries.
Will pretend to be a grandson to the end!
