Chapter 173: Falling short
Seeing that General Nawu was so stubborn and self-serving, he first did not dare to do anything, and did not believe the news they reported, so that he delayed the fighter, and now he personally went into battle as the commander of the three armed forces, risking his own life.
Shen Rendrunk persuaded: Most of the border army guards are like this, they don't know much, they don't read much, they don't read much, and they are all promoted to official positions with martial arts. What's more, he didn't believe you before, and his face was a little unbearable, how could he be willing to leave without fighting for a while?
Yao'er was so angry that she didn't choose to say anything: I'm angry with my mother, go! Let's go too, and finally get him back, it's really going to make him die here, and it's even more out of control!
There was a beautiful woman in the eyes of the lover, Yao'er was so angry that he cursed, but Shen Ren was drunk but the more interesting he felt, he pursed his lips, didn't say anything, but stood in front of Yao'er and killed the mountain pass.
The two sides of the battle of Taniguchi were approaching, and it turned into hand-to-hand combat, with nearly 100 war horses on both sides combined, killing the Taniguchi position with snow and blood splashing, which was extremely tragic.
Shen Ren drunk the horse and rushed forward, and in the shouting, a sword light stretched and swallowed like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, a sword pointed on the surface of a knife, and shook the knife with a bang, and with a flip of the wrist, it slashed at the oncoming Di Ren's wrist.
ā¦ā¦
The people of Taniguchi were slaughtered and in disarray.
General Wu, don't make mistakes again and again! You are the chief general in the army, how to ensure ......
Dangdang!
Yao'er said, Shen Renzui slashed the knife in his hand like electricity, and slashed at the weapons on Yao'er and General Wu in a few swings, Shen Renzui continued: It is your responsibility to safely withdraw the five thousand defenders of the Tiger Benxia to the Queen Mother's Guard!
General Wu's eyes were red with murder, and he brandished the bloody steel knife in his hand. Shouted: Kill! Kill them all and go!
As soon as he mentioned the reins of the horse, he fearlessly rushed towards the enemy group again, and Yao'er gritted his teeth with hatred. In desperation, I had to continue to rush forward with this reckless man.
Woo......
The wind and snow at the mouth of the valley were agitated, and the arrows broke through the air, and there would have been a whistling sound, but at this time, an arrow whistle suddenly sounded, and the sound was several times louder, and the sound was very strange and sharp. General Wu suddenly pulled the reins of his horse when he heard this, and said in surprise: Mingdi?
The Ming Di is a special kind of arrow in the Di army, which can be used as a warning. It can also deter the enemy, and it can also have the effect of indicating targets and issuing military orders in thousands of horses.
Where did this chirping stick come from?
Just for a moment, he realized that something was wrong.
In the mouth of the valley, suddenly rushed out dozens of Di cavalry. All of them are bows and arrows. Arrows are like rain, and gallop and shoot, one arrow is both fired, and the rear arrow is coming, although there are only dozens of horses, but because of the reason that the arrows are like beads, it seems that hundreds of people send arrows together, and the arrow rain instantly covered the position of the Qi army in the valley.
Especially the Ming Di just now. It is estimated that the bow used is at least a two-stone bow, and the arrows are both powerful and fast. An arrow flew right in the chest of a Qi soldier, and the whimpering sound stopped abruptly, and the sharp arrow pierced through the Qi army's leather armor and robes, until it reached the arrow feather, and the arrow cluster emerged from the back.
Dangdang!
Yao'er yelled at General Wu: The general is not going to leave quickly! If the 5,000 soldiers of Hubenxia die here for no reason, if the queen mother's guard is lost due to the dispersion of the defenders, and if Liangzhou is captured because of this, you will not be redeemed!
General Wu was yelled at by her, and saw that the soldiers of Taniguchi Di were like a swarm of ants, and they knew that their brigade was about to press up, and it was also a loss that the valley was narrow, and thousands of troops and horses could not be opened, otherwise it would have been pouring out like a tide at this time, so he had to flick his horse's head hatefully and yelled: Let's withdraw!
At this time, the new forces that poured out of the valley had already seen them, and they had even noticed General Wu, because his armor was too dazzling.
At this time, whether it was a nomadic or a Central Plains army, there were few heavy cavalry, and if the heavy cavalry was ridden, the mobility would strictly restrict its power.
Therefore, although the armor rate in the Qi army is extremely high, there are few iron armor on General Wu's body, which is not only majestic, but also polished to be shiny and bright, like a mirror, shining in such a bright sun today, it is simply a live target.
It's simply nozuonodie.
The Nadi people rushed out of the mountain pass, and it was quite surprising to see that there were Qi troops here, and then there were not many Qi troops, and there was an obvious general among them, although they didn't understand why they appeared here with such a small number, but they knew that the opportunity was rare, and the Di people, who had just fired a Ming Di with a two-stone bow, immediately recognized the strings and aimed at General Wu.
Woo......
This time he didn't use a Ming Di, but the arrow was fast and fast, and when it still broke through the air with a terrible blow, Yao'er only felt that his eardrums exploded, and a wolf's tooth arrow had already pierced the back of General Wu's heart who had just turned the horse's head, and Yao'er almost without thinking, immediately slashed it away.
The arrow was so fast that only a shadow could be seen with the naked eye, and she slashed it down by feeling.
The knife was like lightning, worthy of the shadow of the arrow, the arrow was knocked away, the speed and power of the arrow was really terrifying, and the shock made Yao'er's wrist sore, but she had no time to take care of it, because this person's arrows were continuous, and it was three arrows in a row, and they shot at her, General Wu, and Shen Rendrunk at the same time.
The three arrows arrived at the same time, dizzying, Yao'er's legs clenched the horse's belly, his body was obliquely crooked, he avoided the arrow that shot at him, and swung his knife in front of Shen Renzui, Shen Renzui just circled the horse and turned around, he couldn't dodge, and the sword in his hand didn't want to backhand out, and with a sonorous sound, the sword broke in response, and the arrow changed direction slightly, and shot towards him in front of the door.
Shen Ren was so shocked that he closed his eyes, and almost at the same time, a snowy sword light slashed down in front of him, cutting down the arrow hard, and at this time, it was too late for Yao'er to save General Wu, General Wu had just turned the horse's head, and he didn't see Yao'er's move to chop the first arrow for him.
Although General Wu was reckless and rude, he was very caring for his subordinates, and refused to escape alone, he turned his horse's head, his waist subconsciously straightened, and he was just about to call all his relatives to retreat together, when an arrow struck from behind, and with a pop, it was inserted into his heart through the gap of the heart guard.
General Wu screamed, and was led forward by the arrow, Yao'er was terrified, circled the horse, grabbed the reins of his horse, and shouted: "I'll take you away!"
Let's say that I slapped the horse stocks with a knife face. Urging the horse to leave, Shen Rendrunk only guarded his left and right, and did not hesitate to see him go. The three men and three horses fled in the wilderness.
Although General Wu is not a resourceful general, he dares to fight in battle, sympathizes with the soldiers, and is even loved by the defenders of Huben Gorge, and has a very high prestige in the army. These pro-soldiers were all red-eyed, and none of them were willing to retreat, so they pounced one after another. Fighting for General Wu to escape.
Taniguchi's hand-to-hand combat reached a fever pitch, and the Di reinforcements were still continuous, and after a pillar of incense, the last Qi army who was defending Taniguchi also fell with scars and arrows. Taniguchi's white snow has fallen into mud. Many places have a dark red tinge.
The general Di who held a two-stone iron bow urged the war horse to slowly walk out of the corpses everywhere, his eyes slowly swept over the corpses on the ground, looked at the three faint black spots in the distance, smiled coldly, and ordered: Quickly inform the lord, you can speed up!
He took the reins with one hand and pointed the iron-tired bow forward with the other. Spirited and authentic: Today's lunch, let's eat in Hubenxia!
ā¦ā¦
General Wu! General Wu!
Yao'er led General Wu's horse. Rushing out of the land of a few arrows, there was no danger for the time being, and then he turned his head to look at him, only to see General Wu lying on his horse and crumbling, his face was as white as paper, and there was faint blood in his mouth.
This arrow in him went straight through the heart, he was already seriously injured, how could he withstand such a bump, although Yao'er was in a hurry, he also knew that he was suffering from some bumps, maybe there was a chance to escape, stopping at this moment was to let him die in vain, the enemies of the Di people were almost all cavalry, and they would not be delayed for too long.
But the thick arrow penetrated General Wu's body, and this rush, the wound became bigger and bigger, and the internal organs were all messed up, and it seemed that he was about to die.
Yao'er couldn't help but be anxious when she saw it, the chasing soldiers would arrive soon, and the coach of Hubenxia had three long and two short, so what should be done. At that time, it was true that the commander was the soul of the army, and if a commanding commander with prestige died violently, it would really collapse the morale of the army, and thus chaos without a fight.
But although Yao'er was anxious, there was nothing she could do, and at this time, Shen Renzui suddenly pointed forward and said excitedly: Yao'er, look, there is a car!
Yao'er looked up, and saw a Lele cart struggling to move forward on the snow, and there was a horse beside it, and a shepherd was immediately carrying it, guarding the side of the cart, a bit like an ant on a hot pot.
Yao'er urged the horse to get closer, and Shen Rendrunk asked in the dialect spoken in the area of Guzhu: Why are you so slow?
There was also a driver in the cart with three horses on the wheel.
Beside the carriage was a middle-aged man, and when Yao'er and Shen Renzui persuaded their tribe to move to the Queen Mother's Guard quickly, they had seen these two people, and the middle-aged shepherd replied: The carriage is slow, and I am also in a hurry.
Shen Rendrunk looked at the car, only to see an old man in the car, two women, with two children, one older and one young, Shen Rendrunk said: Why don't you ride a horse?
The middle-aged shepherd said: My family has no strong labor, I can't let go of horses, I specialize in selling wine in the tribe, and I don't herd horses, what do I do with so many horses at home?
Shen Rendrunk looked at General Wu, who was overwhelmed, and said: I will give you the horse and exchange it for your car!
This one......
The middle-aged shepherd hesitated, and Shen Ren said drunkly: What are you still hesitating about?
The middle-aged shepherd said in a sneering voice: ...... in the car And a lot of wine, I ......
Shen Ren listened to it and looked at the car again, the back half was piled high, and there were felt blankets and tents stuffed in the middle and on it, probably because he was afraid that the wine jar would be broken in the bumps, no wonder his car was so slow, can he run fast with so much wine.
Shen Ren was drunk and angry and funny, and shouted: Di Renren will catch up immediately, his life is almost gone, you still care about drinking!
The middle-aged shepherd wanted to cry and said without tears: "Girl, my family depends on selling wine for a living, if this wine is gone, our family will have no way to survive even if they escape!"
Yao'er fought and ran for his life, and the man's dress was already scattered, and his hair was draped behind his shoulders.
Shen Rendrunk touched it in his arms, there were still a few golden beans, Shen Rendrunk said: I have some golden beans, plus these three high-quality horses, it is enough to be as low as your water and wine, can you change it?
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a handful of golden beans and spread them in front of him, about six or seven grains, shining golden in the sun.
The shepherd looked at the golden beans in his hand, and then at the three strong and good horses, and made a slight estimate. It was indeed worth his cart of wine, and he nodded busily and said: Chengchengcheng, I'll change. I'll change!
At that moment, Yao'er and Shen Ren got off their horses drunk, and helped the dying General Wu down, while the herdsman's family left the car and got on their horses. Although the family was either an old man, a child, or a woman, there were no people who had grown up in the steppe tribe since they were young and could not ride horses, so they rode horses. thanked Shen Ren drunk, and urged the horse to leave quickly.
Shen Rendrunk jumped into the car with an arrow step and lifted the felt blanket. Quickly pushed a jar of wine out of the car, and when all the jars of wine that had been pressed by half of the car were thrown into the snow, Shen Rendrunk spread the felt blanket and leather mattress, and then carried General Wu into the car with Yao'er. At this time, General Wu was already in a state of separation. Personnel unconscious.
Shen Rendrunk looked at the arrows that were deeply inserted in General Wu's body, and said worriedly: Yao'er, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it.
Yao'er said: You hold him a little bit, let him suffer less bumps, as long as he still has a breath!
Yao'er said, put down the curtain, grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands, and shouted: Drive! And he drove the carriage up the snowy field.
ā¦ā¦
The Tiger Benxia was in chaos at this time. The three armies were hurriedly assembled, and as soon as they could pull the baggage, they were loaded onto the cart. Those who couldn't be pulled away were also sprinkled with fire-starting things and were ready to burn them, and this deputy commanded Lin Suixue in more than a good order.
It's just that General Wu has always been paternalistic in Hubenxia, and he is sympathetic to the soldiers, but he has made this place his cottage, no one can disobey him, even this deputy general has always been attached to the tail Ji, all obey his orders, so his prestige in the army is far less than that of General Wu, and when he gathered the team to prepare to evacuate, his brigade commanders and team leaders were gossiping and quarreling.
Some people built a team to go first, a large group of people rushed to meet General Wu, some people built a whole army to retreat, first retreated to the queen mother's guard, and some built yƬ pulled the team to fight the ambush of the Di people on the snowfield in front, at this time the deputy general couldn't suppress the situation.
A bunch of generals and colonels argued, and the deputy general quarreled like a fight, so at this time, the tribesmen of the Yuren tribe fled in a panic, helping the old and the young, and the deputy general hurriedly grabbed a few herdsmen to ask about the situation, these herdsmen escaped from the battle between the two armies at the mouth of the valley, how do you know the specific situation there.
As soon as the adjutant general asked, they all talked nonsense, some said that General Wu led people to show their might, killed the Di people and collapsed the army, and firmly held the valley mouth, and some said that the Di people were overwhelming, there were hundreds of thousands of horses, General Wu was finished, and the Di people would arrive soon.
As soon as they said a word, they hurriedly fled for their lives after a few words, and Lin Suixue and the generals became more and more confused when they heard it. There were several brigade commanders and team commanders who were bloody, and roared loudly that the deputy general was a wreck, a coward, and he didn't dare to go, so he wanted to pull the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to rush to the rescue, and some generals instigated the deputy general to quickly order the whole army to withdraw to the queen mother's guard.
There was a quarrel between the two, and the entire Hubenxia camp was like a vegetable market.
At this time, Yao'er also hurried to the carriage, the defenders of the Hubengxia Gorge had already arrived at the bottom of the hillside, all kinds of vehicles loaded with baggage were parked there, the generals with different opinions and people were arguing around Lin Suixue, and the soldiers were standing in the snow with guns and spears at a loss.
Yao'er heard the scolding and roaring of those generals from afar, hurriedly slowed down the car, lifted the curtain and looked back and asked: The three armies are already in chaos, can you wake him up and call him to the next ......
Halfway through Yao'er's speech, his voice stopped, Shen Renzui shook his head lightly at him, withdrew his palm from the side of General Wu's neck, and said in a low voice: He's dead!
Yao'er's heart sank, and it took a lot of effort to snatch General Wu out, but he still died after all.
Yao'er's anxiety and uneasiness were not all due to the fact that the information they sent through great difficulty was not taken seriously by General Wu, but also because she was determined to be the target of Xiang Wanting.
Although if the Di people choose Jingling Spring as the target of attack, they will also cause great harm to the people in the frontier, although then the imperial court will face a more difficult situation, and the Yan State may also intervene and take the opportunity to lead the contradictions between their kings and prime ministers to Daqi, but the current place is his choice after all.
She chose this place because it was convenient for reinforcements in the rear, and she could also dispatch troops and horses nearby in case of emergency, but because of General Wu's arrogance, she delayed the military plane, and if one accidentally caused great harm to the people in the area, she would really be to blame.
Yao'er looked up at the top of the mountain, there are three beacon towers built on the top of the mountain, the weather is very good today, the three beacon towers are lit with wolf smoke, the wolf smoke is billowing into the air, although it is blown by the wind, it still does not disperse for a long time, Yao'er is a little relieved.
With this beacon fire, at least the defenders in the direction of the Queen Mother's Guard can be on guard in advance, and the nomadic tribes outside the Queen Mother's Guard are familiar with this warning signal, as long as they are not too stupid, they will immediately evacuate to the Queen Mother's Guard, of course, if they meet the master of the family that would rather give up their lives than their wealth, then there is really no way.
In his ears, the generals were still arguing, and Yao'er suddenly burst into a nameless fire, turned around abruptly, stood at the front of the car, and shouted: Don't make any noise!
The generals who were arguing were all stunned, looking at her in a dress, she seemed to be a grassland herdsman, neither male nor female, and her original dialect was correct and round.
Yao'er shouted: The two armies of the Di people are attacking Xiangwan Pavilion by road, and now the army has arrived at the mountain pass, and you are still making noise here! If you don't retreat to the Queen Mother's guard at once, and when the enemy arrives, won't all of your foot soldiers be buried here?
In fact, the garrisons of the border army everywhere because the main duty is to guard, so most of the troops in the army are foot soldiers, when they need to go out of the field battle, they will also dispatch the army based on cavalry, these soldiers who guard the border all the year round have fewer opportunities to use horses, and they will not raise a large number of military horses in the battalion, and they will spend military money in vain.
Lin Suixue was being quarreled by her subordinates who were not very obedient, and when she saw that an outsider from her also came to shout, she couldn't help but say angrily: Who are you!
Yao'er flashed his waist card, and said loudly: Yulin Hundred Cavalry guards Jiang Yao, who traveled north on a business trip by the Holy Order, heard the news of the Di people, and specially came to warn!
Liang Si next to Agu said in a loud voice: It's him, he is the one who talked to Lang Jiang!
A group of generals and colonels surrounded him and asked in a gossipy manner: How is General Lang, is General Wu okay?
General Wu, he ......
Everyone was gossiping, Yao'er was stunned, and she didn't know what to do? (To be continued......)
PS: What's next? Let's wait and see!
