Chapter 212: In the Canyon (Asking for Recommendation)
He had already understood the terrain in Wuyuan, and knew that this was the Nanshan Gorge, which was the most suitable for ambushes, so he was shocked in his heart and shouted to Ma Kongming in the distance: "General, the terrain here is narrow, and if the enemy sets up an ambush, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Hu Dahai, who was beside Ma Kongming, said angrily: "Fuck, you are so daring, what kind of battle are you going to fight, go home and hug the woman!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, Hu Dahai heard the sound of breaking the air, and hurriedly bowed down, but the other soldiers did not have as good hearing as him.
All kinds of screams came and went, Hu Dahai looked at the soldiers who were shot down next to him, and said in a daze: "There are really ambushes." ”
Ma Kongming burst into a shout, and his body rose into the air, wanting to kill the archers on the high slope, but the rain of arrows continued, and although he had outstanding martial arts, he could not rush forward.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Ma Kongming roared angrily: "Retreat, retreat quickly!" ”
Wei Chidan hurriedly said: "No, the enemy will never let us go back, and there must be heavy troops ambushed at the entrance." ”
"What then, are you waiting to die here?" Ma Kongming's eyes were red.
He had never been so manic when he was ambushed by the dove before, after all, he was the only one who spared his life, but now he had more than 2,000 lives in his hands, and there was still heat at home, he felt helpless like never before.
"We can only rush forward!" Wei Chidan gritted his teeth.
"Will you survive rushing forward?" Yuan Qing said urgently, he didn't seem to want to die here.
"There may be nine deaths ahead, but if you return, you will definitely die." Wei Chidan said in a deep voice.
"Brother Ma, in terms of fighting, Brother Wei Chi seems to be better than you and me, just listen to him." Qi Zhen spoke slowly.
Since the ambush appeared, Hu Dahai was like a frosted eggplant, bowing his head and not saying anything, while Qi Zhen was different, still keeping calm.
Ma Kongming casually pushed away a few arrows, and looked at Wei Chidan with complicated eyes: "It's all Ma Mourao's responsibility to come to this point, if I regret it, I won't be able to do it, I just hope that Brother Wei Chi can lead everyone through this hurdle regardless of past suspicions!" ”
"I'll do my best." Wei Chidan actually didn't have any certainty in his heart, but he knew that at this time, what this army needed most was hope.
"Rush forward!" Ma Kongming roared, took the lead, and rushed forward, the others followed, and there were constantly skirts in the process of moving forward, but no one stopped.
At the entrance to the canyon, a team formed a semicircle, completely blocking the way out, and a sentry horse went to the rear of the group, riding all the way to several men in armor, and the sentry said to the man in the middle: "General, the enemy army has not returned, but has gone to the other side of the canyon." ”
The general he spoke of was a handsome man with long hair, a white face, and purple lips, who looked like a beautiful woman if he were not wearing armor.
The handsome general's surname was Xie and his name was Yuchen, and he chuckled: "Oh? This is somewhat surprising. ”
After a pause, he spoke: "Order, march to the exit of the canyon." ”
"General, we are also blocked on the other side, I think they can't escape." A general next to him said.
"Since Vice Admiral Wang is like this, it's okay not to go, but if they escape, Vice Admiral Wang needs to lend me something to explain to the marshal." General Xie said with a smile.
"What?"
"Your head."
Vice General Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "General, the last general thinks that it is better to go over and have a look, and must not leave a chance for the rebels." ”
Xie Yuchen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "The whole team is marching." ”
……
At the exit on the other side of the canyon, when he found that the exit was really blocked, Ma Kongming did not hesitate and took the lead in rushing up.
This time the battle was much more difficult than the first one, most of them were crammed into the ravine, and the enemy troops were surrounded in a semicircle at the exit, and each soldier who broke through had to face several enemies.
If it weren't for Ma Kongming to withstand the front, the rest of the people would probably be killed as soon as they came out, Wei Chidan resisted the enemy troops on the left, always keeping an eye on Ma Kongming's slow back, at this moment he, like most of the other survivors, pinned the hope of breaking through on Ma Kongming,
Ma Kongming has never been so tired as he is now, he only feels that the enemies in front of him are endless, and he can't kill them endlessly, gradually, he has no other thoughts in his mind, and he has become blank, and he only knows one word: kill!
I don't know how long he killed, suddenly, he felt the pressure in front of him begin to decrease, and after a while, when he cut off a soldier who was blocking the front, there was finally no one in front of him.
"Rushed out, Brother Ma, we rushed out!" Hu Dahai's face was covered with blood, but he smiled like a child.
Ma Kongming was speechless at the moment, nodded his head, waved his hand and signaled everyone to rush forward, but he chose to stay and break the back.
The enemy army also seemed to be affected by Ma Kongming's momentum, and his fighting spirit dropped a lot, and he did not dare to force it too much, and when the last soldier who escaped from the canyon left, Ma Kongming retreated with the broken men and horses.
When General Xie led the army here, he saw the corpses in one place, and heard the wails of the wounded soldiers, all of whom belonged to the Anhua Army, and the wounded soldiers in Hui'an Mansion had all died with swords.
The two commanders in charge of guarding this exit both knelt in front of Xie Yuchen's horse, and one of them gritted his teeth and said: "General, most of the 1,000 soldiers on our side who are responsible for guarding the exit have died, if it weren't for the archers on both sides of the canyon to come to support, I'm afraid the whole army would be wiped out!" ”
This time, General Xie arranged an ambush of 500 archers on each side of the canyon, and he personally led 3,000 men and horses to block the entrance, and 1,000 men and horses to block the exit.
He originally expected that the enemy commander would be in a hurry to return to Wuyuan City after being ambushed, so the defense focused on the entrance, but he didn't expect the enemy to seize such an opportunity and escape.
"Commander Tang, our army has suffered such heavy casualties, what about them?" Vice Admiral Wang asked coldly.
"More than half of them should have been killed or wounded, and only more than 1,000 people broke through."
At this time, Xie Yuchen, who was silent, finally spoke, and he smiled: "Commander Tang, the battlefield I arranged for you is beneficial to you, right?" ”
"Of course, our army blocked the exit, and the rebels often had to face several of our army by one person, thanks to the general's strategy!"
"Then the soldiers I handed over to you are no worse than the rebels, right?" General Xie still had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Yes, our soldiers are superior to the rebels."
"Then tell me, how did you lose this battle in this situation? Well? General Xie's gaze suddenly became extremely cold, staring at Commander Tang.
"The last will be punished!" Commander Tang didn't dare to look at him and lowered his head.
"General, you can't blame us for this, the enemy army seems to be crazy, especially their main general, it's like killing a god, and the brothers can't help it!" Another conductor pleaded up.
"Oh? With the fighting going so bad, I'm curious to know why the two of you were unscathed? ”
"General, we have to be responsible for commanding the battle, so naturally we can't be on the front line!" The other conductor again pleaded his case.
"Then why did the other party's commander take the lead?" General Xie said lightly.
"It's-"
Just as the commander was thinking about his words, General Xie smiled and said, "I am very grateful for the fact that you have followed me for many years and have made a lot of contributions, but now that I have died so many brothers, I have to borrow something from them to comfort them." ”
The two commanders knew what he was borrowing, and begged in unison: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ”
"Drag it down and cut it down." General Xie said lightly, not looking at the two of them again.
It didn't take long for the heads of the two to be presented on a plate, General Xie didn't look at the tray, and waved his hand: "The commanders of each battalion quickly reorganize the army and march towards Wuyuan City!" ”
"General, aren't you going to exterminate that army?" Vice General Wang asked.
Xie Yuchen smiled and said, "I have my own plans, so I don't need to say more." ”
A riverside in Wuyuan County.
Ma Kongming was washing the blood stains on his body in the river, and when he broke through here, he seemed to have been soaked in blood for a day, except for a pair of black and white eyes, his whole body was red.
At this moment, a sentry horse came running in the distance, and Ma Kongming hurriedly went ashore, handed the sentry a bag of water, and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
The sentry gulped several sips of water before saying, "General, the enemy army is advancing towards Wuyuan City. ”
Ma Kongming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the rest meeting!" ”
"Yes." The sentinel was weak, he was sent to inquire about the news as soon as he broke through, and his body had already reached the limit, if it weren't for Ma Kongming taking the lead in this breakthrough, which made him extremely admired, he would probably never go back.
"General, what are you going to do?" Qi Zhen asked, no longer calling Ma Kongming his eldest brother.
"Why don't we take a detour and go to Guide City to defend first." Hu Dahai said in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Ma Kongming shouted angrily, looked at Wei Chidan, and said, "Brother Wei Chi, what do you think we should do?" ”
Wei Chidan has been thinking about this question since he successfully broke through, and after hearing Ma Kongming's question, he said in a deep voice:
"General, the last thought is that we must not give up Wuyuan City, we can send people to Kaihua for help, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can take advantage of the enemy army to attack the city from the rear, and maybe we can turn defeat into victory!"
"Okay, this is exactly what I want, Lord Lu will hand over Wuyuan City to me for defense, unless I die, they don't want to step into Wuyuan City!"
"The whole team, march to Wuyuan City!" Ma Kongming ordered loudly.
