Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 165 Mysterious reinforcements
On the 10th day of December, it rained heavily.
At noon, Zitong Pass, above the city wall.
Wu Kai looked at the Beiyi camp stationed outside the city, his eyes showed a thick sadness, since the invasion of Beiyi, there will be battles almost every day, although the attack of the Beiyi army a few days ago was extremely fierce, but every time he was repulsed, leaving hundreds of corpses and retreating to the camp.
The problem now is not the attack of the Beiyi army outside the city, but the food in the city that can't support it for long.
Ever since the 5,000 soldiers of Beiyi crossed Tongshan Mountain and came to the back of Zitong Pass, he has been worried.
These 5,000 Beiyi troops are elusive, if they send troops to encircle and suppress, whether they can succeed or not, the key is that he has no troops now.
Originally, the defense of Zitong Pass was dwarfed, and 10,000 people were assigned to defend the mouth of Tongshan to avoid the continuous influx of Beiyi troops into the pass.
The generals of the Beiyi Army outside the pass were also aware of this problem, and they also suspended the offensive in the past few days, and did not continue to adopt the tactics of strong attack.
"Alas...... I don't know if the king has received my letter asking for help, but I'm afraid that the reinforcements won't be able to count on it. Wu Kai, as the commander of the whole army, naturally couldn't say this kind of words, so he could only read them silently in his heart.
"General! Grab a bite to eat! Adjutant General Jia Pingzhang came over with dry food and said.
Wu Kai has not run out of water today, and now it is noon, he is already hungry, but he has no appetite to eat anything. So he shook his head and said, "Give the general's dry food to the soldiers!" ”
"But General, you didn't eat anything in the morning. I drank a bowl of turnip soup last night, and you have to eat something to fill your stomach! "Jia Pingzhang has. Said distressedly.
"Jia Sanmu, it's really hard for you and these soldiers! You have been stationed with me in this bitter cold place, facing the menacing Beiyi army for more than a month! However, Wu is incompetent, and he has not been able to achieve the results of the battle for a long time, so that you can starve, and I am really ashamed of these 30,000 soldiers! Wu Kai said with some guilt.
"General, don't say that. We never thought that such a high Tong Mountain, the Beiyi army could also climb it, posing a great threat to Zitong Pass! The sin is not in the general's hands! For the soldiers, when the horse leather shrouds, the soldiers were stationed on the frontier with General Wu, naturally hoping to be able to make meritorious contributions, but ......"
While Jia Pingzhang was talking, a soldier suddenly trotted over and interrupted him loudly: "General, reinforcements!" Checkmate! Reinforcements are coming! ”
Wu Kai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”
The soldier stopped in front of them and said, "Beiyi's 5,000-strong army is behind Zitong Pass, and has gathered to prepare for a sneak attack on the rear of our army, and is preparing to report to the general when an army suddenly enters from the west and breaks up Beiyi's attack. ”
"The west side? Can you see what kind of banner is being played? Wu Kai frowned and asked.
"Back to the general, I vaguely saw a big flag with a ' written on it. Summer'. The soldier replied hurriedly.
"Summer? Checkmate! Could it be Ningdu's army? After hearing this, Jia Pingzhang said to Wu Kai with a happy face.
Then he shook his head and said, "Ning Du's words, this is a little late......"
His expression at this time was solemn, and the army under the banner of "Xia" was definitely loyal to the Great Xia royal family. And Wu Kai's Zitong army was indeed loyal to the King of Zhongshan.
He didn't have to think about it, how could the Xuanyuan royal family send troops here?
Jason asked curiously, "General, why isn't Ning Du a reinforcement?" We can take advantage of the chaos of the enemy's camp, send cavalry to kill, the Beiyi army in the pass is destroyed first, and then with the reinforcements, fully garrisoned in Zitong Pass, and when the weather is colder, Beiyi can only retreat.
"No, under the banner of Great Xia, it must be the army of the Xuanyuan clan, obviously, the King of Zhongshan did not send anyone over."
"Come to think of it, we sent twelve messengers to Ningdu, and General Ben doesn't believe they will receive a single letter asking for help. Zitong Pass has been defended for so long, and the news has already reached Ningdu. And only now has the banner of Xu Zhuang appeared. You say, could it be a fraud? Wu Kai said with some hesitation.
Jia Pingzhang frowned, looked thoughtful, and finally gave the little soldier a look, and the little soldier understood and left.
Only then did he whisper to Wu Kai: "General, in fact, we don't have much food and grass left. Instead of waiting until the food is gone, it is better to take out all the food today and let the soldiers have a full meal! What if it's really reinforcements? What if the reinforcements are not received by us and retreat? ”
"You have a point! Tell the grain officer to take out all the food and distribute it to the soldiers, and in a moment, order the troops to attack! Even if it's the enemy's trick, let's kill it! Wu Kai nodded and agreed with Jia Pingzhang's words.
At this time, the armies of the two sides had already fought together, and the 5,000 people of Beiyi were all armed with spears and horses, and fought endlessly with the reinforcements.
He could see that the five thousand Beiyi troops were all elites, and it was not easy to take them. So he turned his head to look at Jia Pingzhang on the side, and his eyes seemed to be questioning.
The person who came was the Great Xia Longque that he couldn't have imagined, and the general headed by him was called Xu Tianqiong, holding a double axe, and secretly said in his heart that the opportunity had come, so he walked to a veiled woman at the front and said, "The last general will go to supervise the battle!"
"No need!" The veiled woman spoke, waved her hand, and said, he knew that it would be useless for Xu Tianqiong to pass, and he only hoped that the army could open the gap as soon as possible.
Now the battle between the army and Beiyi in the Guannai is like two children, you punch me, I punch you, no one can help anyone, and no one can give the other party fatal injuries.
The morale of both armies is very low, and the momentum is plummeting, and as long as the gap is opened, the people and the town will be defeated and retreat, and the deserters will continue to flow.
The Beiyi army seems to have been dispersed, but the army of the Great Xia Dragon Bird is too small to form an encirclement.
Seeing that those Beiyi troops were about to escape, Wu Kai immediately made a decision and opened the city gate.
Xu Tianqiong's eyes showed a look of excitement, and he muttered in his mouth: "Lord Commander!" Look, the gates of Zitong Pass are open! Guanli sent troops, they must have seen us! ”
The masked woman looked in the direction of Zitong Pass, and saw Wu Kai wearing a golden helmet and armor from a distance, taking the lead and killing from the city.
"Lord Commander, Beiyi's trump card, the green-clothed iron cavalry has also sent troops, heading straight to Zitong Pass!" Xu Tianqiong said again.
"Good! Here's your chance! General Xu! She shouted, he didn't take it seriously before, it was because of the rebels' green-robed iron horse, now that Wu Kai is facing the green-robed iron horse, he can attack"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Ben will attack first, straight to the rebel main position, you lead the Tiger Ben army to sneak in from the south, raid the Beiyi camp, be sure to occupy the camp before the enemy is defeated, block the enemy's way back, is it possible?
"The subordinates will definitely complete the task!"
"General Xu! I trust you, and as long as you occupy the battalion, then leave it to the infantry battalion to hold the battalion. You personally led the cavalry battalion of the Tiger Ben Army to rush to the aid of the soldiers in the pass, leaving all those green-robed cavalry behind! ”
"Yes!"
"When the camp is stormed, the enemy archers will turn the arrow and aim at the general, at that time, you urge the two percent to be isolated, the army will attack, you must tear the hole open for me, and these valleys will be good Oh understand, if such a good opportunity, if you can't grasp it, then, you come to see you!"
"Don't worry, Lord Commander! If the enemy archers don't suppress it, then the general won't be able to tear the hole open! There is no need for Lord Du Zhi to say, the last general is bound in front of Lord Du Zhi and is at the disposal of the general! Xu Tianqiong replied.
The shouts of killing broke through the sky, and they had already led the army to fight with the green-robed iron horseman. It's just that this green-robed iron cavalry is the elite of besieging Zitong, and when the Dragon Bird Army came out from the west side, the Beiyi army fled in a hurry.
At this time, the camp of Beiyi hung a general flag on it, and the flag was a seal with the word "Liu".
The chief general of Beiyi is named Liu Banwu, although he is ordered to "ban martial arts", but the interesting thing is that he is an out-and-out martial idiot.
He was originally a heroic man who walked the rivers and lakes, and by coincidence, he became the princess of Beiyi, and since then he has become the princess's subordinate. After Beiyi decided to invade, there were few talents around him, so he chose him as the commander of the green-robed iron cavalry, and also gave him a general to conquer the south. After the three-way army, the princess withdrew and marched eastward, leaving behind the green-robed iron cavalry and 10,000 ordinary soldiers, and then handed over the place to him to deal with.
"You should be able to withstand the attacks of both sides, right?" Liu Banwu looked at the two armies that were fighting in the dark and muttered.
"General, didn't the princess say that not a single reinforcement from Great Xia would appear? Why is this army that suddenly came out of nowhere? The lieutenant next to him asked.
Liu Banwu immediately gave him a violent shudder, and then scolded: "What do you care about so much? Is now the time to think about that? Don't bring anyone to shock me? ”
The adjutant general hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth a few times and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" What the general said was that it was the last general's mouth! ”
Liu Banwu, the army of Yunzhou, was not worried at all, he looked at the side of the Zitong Pass battlefield, Wu Kai was a family of generals after all, and he had guarded Zitong Pass for many years, and his defensive ability made him have to be cautious.
At this moment, he found that Wu Kai and the reinforcements that appeared had already opened a hole and were about to converge!
If this converges, then his 5,000 Beiyi army will all be explained here!
Then he shouted, "Archer! Turn all the arrows and attack the center position without letting them converge! Overseer Warband! Anyone who dares to take half a step back will be killed! ”
After a series of orders, the Beiyi army quickly thought of a countermeasure, using the strong shield soldiers to block Wu Kai's army with a large shield, and using the archers to fight the soldiers who were at the forefront of the charge.
However, Xu Ye Tianqiong was not anxious, his purpose was to attract the archers of the enemy army.
"Gusu, don't force it, your injuries haven't fully recovered, if you can't hold on to this dense attack, we'll leave!" Xu Tianqiong took the lead in rushing left and right in the crowd, and the Long Xiao Thousand Star Sword in his hand picked up the enemy troops around him.
"Don't worry! General, these soldiers are not enough to hurt me! ”
Liu Banwu naturally noticed the situation on the field, the reinforcement generals were indeed very strong, and the group of soldiers under him was too weak.
"If it goes on like this, Wu Kai's side will be relaxed! No, I have to fight to suppress the enemy! Liu Banwu thought to himself.
Suddenly, a soldier stumbled over and shouted, "General! Oh no! A thousand soldiers have attacked our camp, and everything except the general has already been taken by the enemy! ”
"What?" Liu Banwu was startled, and stood up suddenly, at this time, the arrow that had been flying suddenly flew over, hitting the back of the little soldier just now, the little soldier stared, and fell to the ground unwillingly, without the breath of life.
Wu Kai's other army attacked from the flank, attacked the camp, and took the entire camp without much effort, and now only this main general's camp remains.
"General! Now that the camp has been breached, it will be a dead end for us to stay, so let's quickly join up with the green-robed iron horseman! When the adjutant general saw the enemy, he was about to rush up, and hurriedly said to Liu Banwu.
Seeing that the deputy general was about to run, Liu Banwu did not have the idea of running. I can't beat the seven-clawed dragon, and I'm still afraid of your thousand people rushing up?
His temper came up, the sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and his whole body was placed in a burst of light source, and he swam out, he jumped up, stepped on the back of the horse, and shouted: "The enemy is attacking in front, who dares to retreat?" Soldiers! Meet the enemy with me! ”
The more than 100 soldiers in the main general's battalion were his personal guards, perhaps infected by his momentum, or intimidated by his majesty. So, Liu Banwu took more than 100 soldiers and rushed towards Wu Kai.
looked at Liu Banwu, who rushed over, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said to the deputy general behind him: "Take my gun!" ”
The lieutenant behind him took his weapon, a spear wrapped in a green shirt. He faded the green cloth, and the golden head of the spear reflected the sunlight and gave a chill.
With the spear in hand, he slashed it twice, focused on his feet, jumped into the air, and slashed at Liu Banwu.
The horse under Liu Banwu's seat turned around, wanting to escape from Wu Kai's attack, but was discovered by Wu Kai The spear was reversed, and at this moment, his speed seemed to have increased to the extreme, and even the horse did not escape from his spear shadow.
"Poof!" Before the weapon in Liu Banwu's hand could be shot, he was stabbed by Wu Kai, and Xu Yannan turned over and kicked Liu Banwu off the horse's back.
The latter fell heavily in front of those Liu Banwu's personal guards, and Xu Yan slashed Huashan again, and the head of the gun hit the horse's head, with a terrible neighing sound.
This scene that happened between the lightning and flint surprised everyone. The high-spirited Liu Banwu actually ...... I didn't take a single move, and I was defeated.
"Spare your life! I give up! The tip of the gun was against Liu Banwu's throat, and Liu Banwu didn't think about it, and surrendered directly.
