Chapter 608: The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper
"What did you say?" Like a cat that had stepped on its tail, Yu Wenke jumped up all of a sudden, grabbed the neck of the reporting officer, and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
The officer's voice trembled, "General, General Yuwen Trai was defeated, and now he is on his way back, the messenger has arrived at the camp, I am worried that the news will be revealed and affect the morale of the army, so I hid him." ”
"How can you lose? How can you lose? Yuwen Ke let go of the officer, took a step back, and shook his head in disbelief, "This must be a trick of the Eastern Army, Dayan Lake only has five thousand foot soldiers, and Sun Xiao has been mobilized by me, how can Ah Chui be defeated with five thousand cavalry?" ”
"General, the messenger said that General Yuwen was about to succeed, but at the last moment, Gao Yuan led his red-clothed guards to suddenly arrive." Remembering the brutality of the red-clothed guards described by the messenger, the officer couldn't help but provoke Ling Ling to fight a cold war. "General Yuwen said that he wanted the general to make up his mind quickly, and now Gao Yuan is chasing after him, and according to his estimate, Gao Yuan should have reinforcements behind."
Yu Wenke's face was pale, and in a short period of time, he seemed to be more than ten years old, and his previous spirit was gone at this time, and the person seemed to have fallen down in an instant, "Will this also be defeated?" How can you lose? ”
Seeing Yu Wenke's somewhat unrelenting appearance, the officer was a little anxious, "General, now Xu Yuan of the Pioneer City, and Yan Peng of the Ten Thousand Cities, like two madmen, have invested all their troops, and now we are in a hurry on both fronts, hurry up and dispatch the cavalry, otherwise if a few pontoon bridges are lost, when Gao Yuan arrives, we will have no way to retreat." ”
"Yes, pontoon, you must hold the pontoon." Yu Wenke jumped up suddenly, "Send the order to Tian Zongmin." Hold the pontoon bridge at any cost. ”
"General, General Tian has been defending for three days, and the loss of troops is large, if he does not send cavalry, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to hold it."
"Cavalry?" Yu Wenke shook his head and said: "Xu Yuan still has 2,000 cavalry in his hand and has not moved, Yan Peng has at least 1,000 in his hand, these 3,000 cavalry have not been dispatched since the start of the war, they must be aiming at our cavalry." If you let them get entangled. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get out, and if I let Gao Yuan arrive again, it will be troublesome. ”
"General, what are we going to do now?"
"Let the foot soldiers cover the cavalry to cross the river first." Yu Wenke said categorically.
Chen Bin slashed another enemy in front of him with a knife, and suddenly his eyes were empty, and he found that not far in front of him, there was already a rushing Liaohe River, and there was no more enemy in front of him. He finally killed the formation of the Donghu people. Just glanced up at the river, and with one turn he immediately turned in another direction and rushed past him, and behind him. It was an endless stream of soldiers from the expedition to the east pouring in from this gap.
The Donghu people guarding the pontoon bridge immediately cut into two sections, left and right, and more places were being penetrated from it.
Tian Zongmin sighed, after all, he didn't block it. But what made him even more puzzled was why the cavalry under Yu Wenke did not dispatch, if the cavalry came to cover up at this time. It should be impossible to defend this pontoon bridge.
"Retreat!" He is also a decisive person, as soon as he saw that things could not be violated, he immediately decided to give up the pontoon bridge behind him and retreat to the direction of the Chinese army, where there is still a largest pontoon bridge, when crossing the river, this pontoon bridge is responsible for the heavy task of Yuwen Ke's cavalry crossing the river.
In the Pioneer City, Xu Yuan saw Chen Bin covered in blood.
"Well done!" He patted Chen Bin's shoulder vigorously, "This is the general of my Eastern Army." ”
Chen Bin bared his teeth, after this battle, even if he was wearing the best armor, but these armors only protected the vital points on his body, and in other places, he didn't know how many injuries he had suffered, and he didn't feel how much he felt in the previous fierce battle, but when he stopped at this time, he suddenly felt pain everywhere in his body.
"Commander, we have prepared fire grease and other materials, as long as you give an order, we can turn this pontoon bridge into flying ashes." Chen Bin said.
"Burn him?" Xu Yuan paused, "No, no, no!" He shook his head again and again: "Chen Bin, the situation has changed, and I have a lot of use for this bridge." Can you still fight? ”
Chen Bin puffed up his chest, "Of course you can fight!" ”
"Okay, your division commander Ni Huazong and the second division Tao Jiawang are now waving their troops to force Yuwen Ke's Chinese army, you lead the team to follow, as a reserve, one comes to have a good rest, and in addition, when necessary, you have to rush forward to give the opponent a fatal blow."
"Understood!" Chen Bin turned around and wanted to walk, walked a few steps, suddenly stopped again, and turned around: "Commander, our cavalry, are you going to cross the river?" ”
Xu Yuan was stunned, and suddenly laughed, "Chen Bin, with you, you can actually guess this, yes, our cavalry is going to cross the river, just came the news, the governor has arrived, in Dayan Lake to break the cavalry led by Yu Wen Chui Yu Wenming, now the governor is in front, Commander Sun is behind, the army is rushing here, if my expectations are good, Yu Wenke, this old boy will definitely run away." ”
Chen Bin was suddenly ecstatic, "Our army's reinforcements have arrived, if we can cut off Yuwenke's back road, we can wrap him in dumplings, if this battle leaves Yuwenke here, the battle for the Hetao Plain, our army will have the upper hand." ”
"That's natural, Yuwen Ke's heart is higher than the sky, but his life is thinner than paper, there was no flaw in the overall plan, but he just bumped into my family's governor, and he has always had no last resort, and this time he hit the iron plate, and a small life will be sent here!" Xu Yuan laughed wildly.
Chen Bin ran out in a hurry, and at this time, the countless wounds on his body didn't feel so painful.
"Gongsun Yi, Luo Lei, Yan Xiaohe!" Xu Yuan turned his head and looked at the three cavalry generals who had been watching from the wall since the war began, among which Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei were his cavalry generals, and Yan Xiaohe was Yan Peng's second army general.
"Chen Bin has already taken control of a pontoon bridge, now what you have to do is to cross the river as quickly as possible, take down Yu Wenke's left-behind personnel on the other bank, and then block their retreat, remember, in the past few days, the foot soldiers have shed enough blood, you have just seen that Chen Bin can't see much good meat on his body, don't let their blood flow in vain, this battle, we want a perfect victory."
"Yes!" The three of them bowed in unison.
"Gongsun Yi, this battle is under your command. If something goes wrong, you know the consequences! Xu Yuan said coldly.
"Understood!" Gongsun Yi suddenly lifted his spirits, this is a cavalry of more than 3,000 people, all the cavalry of the first army and the second army are gathered together, and it is also the largest cavalry commanded by his Gongsun Yi: "If you let Yuwen Ke run across the river, my Gongsun Yi will come to see you." ”
"There's no need to raise your head, it's just that the position of the commander of this cavalry division has nothing to do with you." Xu Yuan laughed. "Hurry up, Yu Wenke must jump off the wall now."
Yu Wenke was indeed angry now, because Tian Zongmin was roaring at him.
"What about your cavalry? What about the cavalry, when is it, you still don't invest in the cavalry to fight to the death, now the Eastern Army must be mobilizing troops and horses, rushing towards your Chinese army, and when they get here, line up in formation, can your cavalry still be able to move? While they are still being mobilized, we will immediately deploy cavalry and attack them halfway to isolate them, and we will still have a chance. Tian Zongmin waved his arms, not caring about the large and small Donghu generals in the tent.
"Ben will command the battle, and he doesn't need you to dictate and make his own overall arrangements." Yuwen Ke said angrily: "You lost the pontoon bridge, and you dare to point fingers here, will Daoben not dare to use military law?" ”
Tian Zongmin was furious, "General Yuwen, aren't you afraid of losing your heart when you say this?" More than 10,000 foot soldiers, guarding three pontoon bridges, each bridge can only be divided into more than 3,000 people, in the face of the number of my Eastern Army, I defended for three days, if you are willing to send cavalry to respond, how can it be the current result. Now that the surprise troops you sent out have been defeated, and the enemy is taking advantage of the situation to counterattack, we will not be able to retreat if we do not defeat the frontal enemy first. Let the other party entangle, there is only a dead end. At this time, you only think about letting the cavalry retreat, do you want to throw all the foot soldiers to the Eastern Army? ”
"Cavalry is my Donghu root!" Yuwen Ke said proudly: "As long as my Donghu iron cavalry is still there, the Eastern Army will not dare to be presumptuous, infantry, hehe, easy to train, General Tian, there are many people under my Donghu jurisdiction, even if this battle, I am afraid that there will be cavalry buried here, but as long as the cavalry is withdrawn along the way, at most half a year, you can form a team of 10,000 people or even more foot soldiers, this matter can not be discussed." ”
Tian Zongmin was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha came out of the ground, glaring at Yu Wenke, panting, and was speechless, just pointing at Yu Wenke, his lips squirming: "Yu Wenke, you are going to suffer a big loss like this, when the infantry is not guaranteed, the cavalry will not be able to get out, it must be a bamboo basket to hit the water, the left pontoon bridge has been lost, as long as the opponent's general is normal, he will inevitably send troops to cross the pontoon bridge to block your back road, at this time you can't retreat, you can't retreat, throw alone, the whole army will attack, at least to repel the opponent's counterattack, in order to win enough time to retreat." Cavalry, and only cavalry, can stifle the opponent's counterattack. ”
"General Tian!" Yu Wenke took the case, "You are just my guest in Donghu, not my boss, come on, please General Tian cross the river first, Yu Wenhao, you will take over and command the infantry to resist the enemy, all the cavalry, prepare to cross the river." ”
The two Donghu guards pounced up, grabbed Tian Guomin on the left and on the right, and dragged them out, Tian Guomin struggled and roared angrily: "Yu Wenke, you will regret it." (To be continued......)
