Chapter 110: Follow Me
Because he didn't want to alarm the Hu people, the mobilization before the charge, the fifth Lun was to let the soldiers and the hundreds of people do it separately.
In the view of Zhu Tuyong, who has an illiteracy rate of 99%, any "revenge for the dead compatriots" is a false empty talk.
What do you mean by compatriots? Living in the same county, a township, or even a dialect spoken to each other clearly and understandably, that is the compatriots, the people of Tewu County are barely counted, but as long as they go out of the county border, they are strangers who have nothing to do with it.
In other words, only a battalion, a team, and a cauldron can be called comrades, and those so-called friendly troops can be regarded as enemies who grab territory.
The reason why they all crossed the river and came here was not because of any ethnic hatred and compassion for the suffering of the people, but because the great benefactor of the pig and the brave Fifth Lun was the first to board the boat!
So, when Bai Zangnu honestly ate according to the Fifth Lun weekday, and encouraged the soldiers to do ideological work, the reaction of the Zhu Tu Yong was ......
"Oh."
On the other hand, Brother Biao only slapped the soldier who was a little stunned after learning that he was going to attack, and scolded after waking up fiercely: "If there is no sect master, you must have died of starvation on the side of the road, how did the ordinary sect master raise you?" If you die today to repay the sect master, what is it! ”
Don't say it, after being slapped and stimulated by this remark, the seventh biao asked them if they roared, and the soldier's reaction was to shout: Roar!
The monarch is the king, the county is the king, the county is the king, and Sima is not the king? They understand that they will die for the king, and ask for their lives for the people? They are the people, and it is good to save themselves. Bittersweet memories? Thinking about it, it is still the sweetness of the days brought by Boyu Sima.
They only knew that when the fifth Lun preached, they had to applaud desperately to give Boyu Sima a face, but as for the content, they couldn't understand it anyway, and the left ear went in and the right ear went out.
"The seventh biao is supervising the battle in the rear, and those who hesitate to advance will be killed!"
It is even more difficult to think about it, and it is willing to carry out the simple order, only to make the fifth Lun cry and laugh, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or depressed for more than half a year.
But this did not affect today's battle, as the teams received orders, as the first rooster struck the gavel on the waist drum, the fifth Lun also raised his shield and changed his sword, and took the first step.
"Gentlemen, follow me!"
Knock knock, the first rooster crows and wavs his arms, trotting behind the fifth, the mallet touching the surface of the sheepskin drum, striking quickly but powerfully.
But there is no speed in the pace of the soldiers, Boyu Sima leads, whoever doesn't follow is ungrateful! Whoever is raised by the little maid! will be despised by the whole camp.
Meng Ze, a young man who was standing behind the fifth battalion, was in a trance, only to see hundreds of people from the fifth battalion suddenly rushing out, and he did not hesitate at all, and also raised the bloodstained knife.
"Erlang on the West Bank, you can't be looked down upon by the special martial arts, follow up and fight with Hulu!"
Although the fifth Lun took the lead, he was still a little frightened in his heart, holding a shield to block his forehead while running, he was fully armed, and the best armor was not afraid of stray arrows, but he was defenseless in front of the door, and he was very worried about being hit by stray arrows and his life.
But after only ten steps, this worry became unnecessary.
Someone next to him chased after him, parallel to him, and then accelerated violently to overtake!
When the hundred Zheng Tong of the shield knife team was the first to cross the fifth lun, don't look at his height, but he has a big step, what is even more exaggerated is that this officer does not know when he unloaded the heavy armor, and let the arrow cross his cheek, that kind of lifeless momentum, like the first to hold a knife and execute the guards under the command of Ru Chen.
Then the second, third, fourth, and fifth Lun were not slow, but they were left behind by their subordinates one by one. The guards in the armor also tried to move forward, forming a moving human wall in front of the fifth lun, and used their bodies to block the flying arrows for him!
The pig warriors are unwilling to "fight for the people", but are willing to "fight for Boyu Sima", they are ashamed to follow behind the fifth Lun, people's hearts are flesh and blood, half a year of grace imperceptibly, how can there be no gratitude?
They still can't do it with a quick pace, but they are good at charging freely - just get the energy out of the run.
But they were still afraid, because of fear, Zheng Tong, who was running at the front, opened his mouth and shouted. It seemed to be contagious, one after another, one after another, and all broke out in howling!
"Ahh
……
To the ears of the stunned Huns, these brave screams are actually fierce roars that are not afraid of death!
Their stunned was like an iron turtle that didn't move no matter how much you bullied and provoked, but suddenly stretched out its limbs and rushed wildly.
For a time, the offense and defense were different.
Hu Qi has been too smooth in the past few days, although he won, he won and collapsed. These three or four hundred horsemen came from different tribes, and there was no unified command at all, and they were only allowed to be pursued by greed and intuition, and the pursuit was carried away.
Because of the lack of cavalry, they even slacked off their horses and shot on foot, and at this moment there were still people trying to draw bows and shoot arrows to intimidate the enemy.
But scattered shots were not comparable to the power of a unified salvo, and one fell, rushing over nine. The Huns panicked a little, hurriedly climbed on their horses, and hurriedly turned around.
For a while, the situation continued, some horses collided together, some people accidentally fell off their horses, and they were blocked by people who did not know the truth in the rear, and they were so anxious that they slashed with a knife.
By the time they reached an agreement to retreat towards the west canal, the Pig Warrior had rushed dozens of paces away, and then it was a game of chase, the horses gradually accelerated, and the Pig Warriors sprinted and their strength was exhausted, and the distance was slowly widened.
There are also a few masters in the Hu cavalry, who can make reflexive bow and shoot skills while walking the horse, if they can sit on the elite of three or four hundred horses, the subordinates of the fifth Lun are afraid that they will be put on kites for a while, and they will suffer heavy casualties.
It's just a pity that most of the herdsmen were temporarily summoned from various tribes, who were terrified by the fearless charge from the opposite side, and now they just wanted to go home with the booty.
But the shallow west canal that had just crossed the time was like a moat, and Hu Qi, who ran too quickly, fell on the embankment of the ditch that was inclined downward, and the canal was thirty or forty steps wide, and the water did not reach the horse's belly, so it was impossible to pass through quickly, so he could only wade slowly.
The clever ones had galloped along the embankment to both sides, but they were immediately hit by a group of horsemen, but it was Wan Xuan who was ordered by the Fifth Lun to take the soldiers who could ride horses, and using the horses he had collected from the people, to make a cameo appearance as a cavalryman, and entangled with this small group of Huns.
And most of the Hu riders only blindly squeezed into the ditch, and for a while the west canal was like a dumpling.
Although the Hu people who ran early jumped on the west bank of the West Canal, most of them were still fighting against the mud in the canal, trampling back and forth to make the mud at the bottom of the canal soft, and the horses' hooves were stuck in it.
The sprint of 300 steps and nearly 400 meters made everyone breathless, but this chase made the pig warriors see that the Huns were as timid and frightened as themselves, and they were no better than the robbers. They only jumped down from the ditch by inertia, rushed into the disorderly Huns, and began an unorderly and chaotic battle.
When Fifth Lun rushed to the ditch out of breath, he saw such a scene:
The Huns rode on their horses, and it was too late to draw their bows, so they could only desperately swing the straight-edged knife in their hands and slash down, but only on the wooden shield of the sword and shield soldiers.
The spearmen took the opportunity to arrive, taking advantage of the advantage of being one inch long and one inch strong, holding spears like poking ripe pears on trees, and stabbing down the Hu people who were trapped on the horses and could not advance or retreat.
Zang Nu arrived immediately with the crossbowmen of the Caiguan Army, knelt on the embankment to wind up, raised his crossbow, and aimed at the Huns who were trying to pull their bows and counterattack after landing on the opposite bank.
The fifth Lun was blocked by the guards, and he was not even allowed to go down the water.
In the end, it was the young men led by Meng Ze who threw themselves into the ditch to join the battle group. This group of hot-blooded sons and daughters sprinkled all the anger they had received from the exile and escape in the past two days on the embarrassed Huns, and beat the water dogs.
They were not well equipped, and their farm tools were broken, so they poked them with knives and bit them with their teeth, and after Meng Ze accidentally got rid of his blade, he even rode a Hu man under him, clenched his fists and smashed him in the face! Then he grabbed the braided hair of these aliens and pressed them into the water and drowned!
When this chaotic battle came to an end, the rookie pecked at the other rookie who had died, stood up and shook the water droplets on his body, and raised his head high!
The originally clear canal water was stirred up to the ground, and dead people and dead horses were lying across the ditch, as if a composed of corpses had been built, making the Beidi West Canal, which had been unblocked for two hundred years since the Qin Dynasty, not flow!
But now is not the time to clean up the battlefield, there is still the shadow of Hu Qi in the distance, Wu Lun can only shout at the pig warriors to persuade the red eye, still at the dead Hu people Meng Ze and other light chivalrous youth, help the injured robe Ze to retreat first, he will be the mess of the soldiers, within two hundred steps east of the West Canal re-array, count the casualties, killed more than ten people, dozens of wounded, most of them ran too hard and fell into a blue nose and swollen face.
"Great!"
Wu Lun, who didn't even have a chance to get his shoes wet during the whole process, shot a few arrows with a crossbow, looked at the soldiers, and said with emotion: "You are called a pig and a pig, a metaphor for a wild boar, and you are not afraid of death when you see the enemy, until today, you can be regarded as a real warrior!" ”
Among the more than 500 people, only a few were so afraid that their feet cramped, and they were beheaded by the seventh biao if they did not follow the charge.
The punishment should be punished, and the reward cannot be left behind, the reward of the imperial court, that is an empty promise, and the reward of the "baron" of the fifth Lun has not been implemented, let alone ordinary soldiers, no wonder the new army has no interest in meritorious service. In addition to promising to return to the garrison to kill sheep and reward the soldiers, he also promised to let today's meritorious soldiers be promoted during the expansion, and they will be given more rations and vegetables every month.
At this time, Meng Ze, who was covered in blood and mud, followed Wan Xuan to visit the fifth Lun, and without saying a word, he bowed to him first.
"If it weren't for the general, the ferry would definitely be gone, and Meng Ze would be a ghost in vain today, and if he was not shot to death, he would have to suffocate to death."
"We have discussed it with the light heroes of Lianxian and Lingzhou, and I am willing to join the general."
"I'm not a general." Fifth Lun looked at Meng Ze, generally speaking, he would not accept the light man scoundrel, and would rather be honest slaves, miners, and farmers.
However, today is different, Meng Ze and others have proved their courage, not to mention, although the fifth battalion has now won the trust of the special warriors, but the three counties west of the Yellow River have no foundation, and today they crossed the river, and the people were more wary than happy, and they really needed some people from the west bank to join.
But Meng Ze, this kid, had to inch in, and further asked the Fifth Lun that since the Huns were so weak, it was better for the Fifth Battalion to use them as the vanguard and recover their homeland in one fell swoop!
Wu Lun only smiled and said, "Among the people at the ferry, how many people are like you who are willing to turn around and fight back against Hu Lu?" ”
Meng Ze hesitated: "There are dozens of people who have been killed with the army just now, but ......there are hundreds of people who stopped Hu Qi by the canal before."
The fifth Lun asked him to give him a set of armor: "Go and ask, if one is counted as one, I will take it, if I can summon fifty people, I will appoint you as a judge, and if I can gather a hundred, I will let you be a hundred!" ”
Meng Ze was bold, looked up and said, "What if I bring five hundred?" ”
"Then let you be a military candidate!"
Meng Ze was overjoyed and went as promised, and the seventh biao scolded this little son for being promoted quickly, and came over and asked, "Sect Master, do you really want to continue to march west?" ”
"Am I Han Wei, the general of Tunhu?" The fifth Lun asked the seventh Biao, he is the fifth Lun, of course he will not get carried away with a small victory.
Wu Lun ordered: "You wait until you gather chariots among the people, and build a simple barrier east of the west canal, although Hu Lu has been killed more than 200 people and retreated, but at any time they may come again, we are here, if they dare to cross the ditch and come up, I can drive them into the water again and again!" ”
Wu Lun calculated the time, and with the few poor boats, I am afraid that it will be at night to ferry thousands of people to Tewu County.
This is why he asked Monzer to gather the natives of the West Bank.
Wu Lun looked up at the noon sky: "When the people are safely evacuated, and when it gets dark, we can attack without distractions, and take advantage of the night to give a big surprise to the Hu Lu who still dares to stay!" ”
……
At the same time, the county town of Tewu, dozens of miles away, is also closed with the city gates, as if facing a great enemy.
Xuan Biao, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant saw from a distance on the city wall that Lu Fang, who had already begun to preach his "resurrection from the dead", appeared outside the city with more than 400 people, and the word "Han" was painted on the tattered red cloth.
Xuan Biao's father, Xuan Bing, would rather live in seclusion than be a minister of the new dynasty, and Xuan Biao knew that he had the former Han in mind.
But now, seeing that this good word was so badly abused, Xuan Biao, who has always been an elegant civil servant, couldn't help but spit at the city and scolded.
"The word."
"You're worthy of it too?"
