Chapter 154: The Sixth Regiment Rebelled
In the distance, a group of cavalry appeared faintly, and the soldiers reacted very quickly, without Zhang Xiaowu's order, everyone immediately turned over and grabbed their waist knives, and put on an arrow formation. Zhang Xiaowu stood at the head of the formation, pointing his saber into the distance, and the soldiers naturally understood what he meant, if it was an opponent, he would fight to the death with all his might.
Maybe everyone was greedy for life and afraid of death before, but after this battle, everyone became belligerent, and they only felt that no matter how many enemies they had, they were just chickens and dogs slaughtering cows.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at it, but he couldn't see the other party's banner clearly, so he shouted: "Prepare for battle, Xiao Kai left flank, Zu Gongmao right flank." ”
"Whoa!"
Then they saw rows of cavalry slowly rising on the horizon in front of them, and there were thousands of them in the distance.
Zhang Xiaowu frowned tightly and shouted, "Wipe off the blade and prepare to collect people's heads." ”
"Whoa."
Soon a large flag appeared on the horizon, "Lee".
After a while, the Xuanxi armor appeared in front of everyone, it was the Holy Han cavalry.
Wang Yijin shouted excitedly: "It's the Xiao Riding Battalion!" ”
Chen Guanxi hurriedly asked: "My lord, do you want to put away the knife?" ”
"No!" Zhang Xiaowu was solemn, "They appeared at this time, I don't know what their intentions were, everyone must be careful." ”
"Whoa."
The Dead Battalion was still in full swing and did not retract the sword, but the Xiao Cavalry Battalion slowed down and slowly came to the cavalry of the Dead Battalion, Li Cunyuan's hateful big cake face had a toothy smile: "You people, you guys, actually killed the pursuers of Inuyi?!" You kid - you kid can! I underestimated you. ”
"You know there are pursuers?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I didn't know they would chase the two wolves." Li Cunyuan said, "I want to know that they are chasing and killing, and I have already told the Sixth Regiment to set up an ambush, and you are saying this as if I am going to harm you." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You rarely harm me? ”
Li Cun was angry and said, "When did I hurt you?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the rescue at this time, it is useless, and I also remember in my heart that you are the only one who came." ”
Li Cunyuan laughed angrily and said: "You really can't speak, why am I useless." He waved his hand, the cavalry behind him scattered, more than fifty cavalrymen in bloody clothes rode their horses tiredly, Zhang Xiaowu saw Guan Cheng and Jin Sheng, the two smiled and nodded, and then entered the formation. Li Cunyuan looked left and right at the dead camp again, and saw that although everyone was tired and tired, everyone was full of murderous energy, and his heart was full of envy.
Regardless of whether these soldiers are strong soldiers or not, but after this battle, the more than 200 cavalry of the Dead Soldier Battalion have become the absolute elite.
Li Cunyuan was born in a scholar family, and after joining the army, he was taken care of by his elders and seniors in the army, under the wing of his eldest brother, Li Cunyuan was almost "invincible", for example, after Li Cunyi killed the pursuing soldiers without fighting spirit, and then let Li Cunyuan clean up the mess, for example, Li Cunyi plundered the formation and asked him to suppress the anti-people, etc., so he knew that he was just a training general. Li Cunyuan wanted to show his talent on the battlefield, but was repeatedly stopped by his eldest brother.
In this battle of the Northern Expedition, he was forced to stay in Mucheng to guard the rear. Li Cunyuan asked for war many times, but was repeatedly rejected, for which he offended Cheng Chu many times, expecting Cheng Chu to send him to the front line, but Cheng Chu tolerated it many times, and even in the eyes of everyone, Li Cunyuan was a gentleman who relied on his eldest brother to do whatever he wanted.
Last night, the thorn forest burned Inuyi, and in the camp of the Sixth Regiment, which was only fifteen miles away, the soldiers, officials and ordinary people naturally saw the sky-high fire, but their reaction was to turn around and flee, especially the Chinese military camp was the first to run towards the two wolf passes. The crown prince may have been overfrightened and demanded that the Fengzi battalion immediately escort him to escape, and the two battalions caused even more chaos in the cars.
The soldiers and the people were in a panic and confused, and several soldiers even drew their knives to kill those who stood in front of them in order to run faster than the people. The chaos lasted for an hour before it was finally quelled by the strong suppression of Murong Hui, a military candidate, and the chaos resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries among civilians and soldiers, many unable to find their families, and others fleeing into the desert without a trace.
In fact, after the chaos occurred, the first to react was Li Cunyuan's Xiao Cavalry Battalion. It is true that Li Cunyuan is a military general, but he has been with his eldest brother Li Cunyi since he was a teenager, and he has the experience of marching and fighting to stop the chaos, and because they are the only battalion with war horses, the war horses are difficult to control once they are frightened at night, so Li Cunyuan's Xiao cavalry battalion has always maintained the highest vigilance.
Li Cunyuan asked the cavalry camp to stay overnight without removing his armor and sword, and after the fire in the thorn forest rose, Li Cunyuan proudly immediately gathered all the cavalry and got on his horse to prepare for battle. Subsequently, Li Cunyuan powerlessly found that the camp was really in chaos, there was no system, and no one stopped it.
"Let them mess up, let's not go and put things down." Zhang Xiaowu instructed Cheng Han, the captain of Zuo Jin, "We are cavalry, and after entering the camp, not only will we not be able to quell the chaos, but they will be mistaken for the Inuyi cavalry to chase and kill the battalion, creating more chaos." ”
Cheng Han also took the soldiers to guard the gate to avoid being rushed by the chaotic army and the people.
Next door to the Xiaocai camp is the Huizi camp, and the army Hou Murong Hui quickly quelled the chaos with his own soldiers, and gathered the soldiers in the shortest possible time. Murong Hui then ordered the Huizi battalion to be the center, and gradually calmed down the chaos, and all the soldiers and civilians sat in place and waited for the order, and if anyone escaped, he would be killed.
Under the orderly suppression of the Huizi camp, the camp gradually stabilized, and at dawn, the chaos finally subsided.
Cheng Chu finally reacted after running for dozens of miles with the soldiers of the Chinese military camp, and he waited until dawn before returning to the camp with hundreds of soldiers. The first thing Cheng Chu did after returning to the camp was not to investigate the enemy situation and count the casualties, but to count his property losses, and he was stunned to find that he had lost most of his gold and silver treasures, not to mention, and even the two most beloved concubines were missing.
Cheng Chu then eagerly asked Li Cunyuan to send cavalry to look for beautiful concubines, but Li Cunyuan immediately refused. Li Cunyuan told Cheng Chu that he had sent scouts to the firelight to find out, and there was no force to find a beautiful concubine for him. After a night of intense preparation, but no enemy was found, Li Cunyuan sent scouts to the Thorn Forest, where they found many charred corpses, and then bypassed the Thorn Forest to find more slain Inuyi cavalry corpses.
Li Cunyuan made a quick decision, regardless of Cheng Chu's opposition, returned with the cavalry to fight back, and caught up with the dead battalion, but when he found that the battle was over, the dead battalion won a complete victory.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "General Cheng let you out?" ”
Li Cunyuan said disdainfully: "That skin-like goods, what did he do, if it weren't for him, the battalion would not have killed and injured thousands of people." ”
"Yingxiao?"
"Not yet, it's just chaos." Li Cunyuan was very annoyed and said, "It's okay not to say it, but when I say it, I get angry, this Cheng Chu is simply a wine bag and rice bag." ”
