Volume 3, for whom is it desperate XXXVIII. A rainy night is coming

"Kill!" After seeing the Mu Yong army approaching, in Li Qingxue's army, a general shouted, and rushed forward with tens of thousands of soldiers, he had already received an order, must not give the enemy a chance to shoot arrows continuously, once the enemy crossed the wooden wall, immediately attacked, as long as the two armies are entangled together, then the enemy's archers will not be able to shoot arrows.

As a result, just as Li Qingxue speculated, Mu Yong's infantry had only crossed the wooden wall, and the archers had not yet come, so the general roared and led an army of 30,000 to rush out, and in order to avoid being set on fire by the archers as much as possible, causing a lot of losses, when charging, the formation was extremely scattered.

Seeing this, Mu Yong also frowned, although he knew that the other party was trying to avoid being shot by a large number of archers, but looking at the scattered formation, he was still uncomfortable for a while, and immediately gave the archers an order to shoot freely.

There was only a short distance of 300 meters between the two armies, and the archers only shot five arrows, causing at least more than 3,000 dead and more than 2,000 wounded to Li Qingxue's army.

With the official engagement of the two armies, the archers thoroughly carried out Mu Yong's orders, and the 3,000 archers were always on standby, always guarding against the appearance of the enemy's reinforcement, and their task was to immediately block the enemy's advance with bows once the enemy appeared, and then buy enough time for the army to get out of the battle.

As for the remaining 7,000 archers, they began to shoot freely, although the two armies fought together, but they were still able to find the opportunity to shoot arrows in the end, and because of Mu Yong's protection, the soldiers on the opposite side tried to charge over and attack the archers several times, but they were all stopped by the soldiers in front.

"Damn, whose person is this, 30,000 to 10,000, and he was actually blocked by others!" Seeing that the general was actually stopped by 10,000 soldiers, and he was struggling to walk, Zhai Jiang couldn't help but ask angrily!

"It seems to be Emperor Ji's person, called Qian Bojun!" Someone immediately recognized the general and said.

"What, Emperor Ji's ghost person, how did he send his people up, even if he doesn't come himself, he will definitely not send any good birds over, this time he will be killed by this Qian Bojun, Li Qingxue, I will personally lead the troops to support, what can I say that I can't let 30,000 people be defeated by 10,000 people on the opposite side, your order flag will be used by me!" After Zhai Jiang finished speaking, he grabbed Li Qingxue's order flag, and immediately went down to light 5,000 soldiers and rushed to the battlefield.

And Li Qingxue didn't stop it, at this time, just Zhai Jiang passed, I was afraid that he couldn't stop the general, after all, there was no subordinate relationship, but it was different when he held the order flag, even if this general was Emperor Ji's person, he didn't dare to disobey the general's order.

As Zhai Jiang approached the battlefield, a wave of arrows immediately shot in front of him, and it was a warning given to them by the three thousand archers who had been in charge of vigilance, this place had already entered the range of archers, and they were advancing, just prepare to die!

After Zhai Jiang stopped, he shouted loudly: "The general has an order, the archers are ready, and Ming Jin is ready to withdraw his troops!" "At this time, I don't care if the other party will cause them more casualties because of the withdrawal of troops, after all, it is 30,000 people, and 5,000 were killed and wounded by the archers before.

With the signal of the withdrawal of the troops, Qian Bojun froze for a moment, he was a general, without his order, the one who didn't want to die dared to order the withdrawal, but when he turned around and saw that another army appeared in the rear, and the big Li Ziling flag was standing there, he didn't dare to disobey the order at the moment, and yelled: "Disperse, withdraw!" After saying that, he stabbed a soldier in front of him with a shot, turned and ran.

When the two armies gradually separated, Zhai Jiang immediately shouted: "Archers prepare, release arrows!" ”

Brush brush, the rain of arrows shot out of the sky, although some of his own people were injured by mistake, but the soldiers under Mu Yong's command were also affected a lot, but fortunately, Mu Yong ordered in time not to pursue, which did not cause further casualties.

And watching the enemy retreat, the archers' shooting made meritorious service again, and finally the 30,000 army withdrew and only 12,000 people remained, and the others were either dead or seriously injured and wailing on the ground, this is still because when Zhai Jiang ordered the retreat, it was too sudden, not only Qian Bojun did not expect it, even Mu Yong did not expect that the archers did not line up in time to form a bow and Lan arrow array, otherwise, the 30,000 army was afraid that it would really not be able to go back.

"General Zhai, why did you let us withdraw our troops, we lost 20,000 people in vain!" After Qian Bojun withdrew, he looked at Zhai Jiang and asked angrily.

"Hmph, Qian Bojun, remember your identity, even your master doesn't dare to talk to me like this! Someone came, passed the general's order, it was okay for Qian Bo's army to lead the troops, resulting in heavy losses for the army, first remove the military power, and take it into custody for disposal after the war! With Zhai Jiang's order, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed out and surrounded Qian Bojun.

And Qian Bojun is not good at stubble, the guards around him immediately raised their weapons, as long as Qian Bojun gave an order, they would immediately fight with Zhai Jiang's personal guards, but Qian Bojun did not dare to give the order in the end, because since Zhai Jiang came with the order flag, if he disobeyed the order, this sin would be great, and it would also implicate the lord.

After successfully taking down the Qian Bo army, Zhai Jiang immediately asked the soldiers to suppress the Qian Bo army, and at the same time disarmed his personal guards, and then said: "From now on, this will be the main general!" Everyone, assemble, get ready to fight! ”

After replacing Qian Bojun, Zhai Jiang immediately commanded the soldiers to start the formation again, but this time he didn't plan to take the initiative to attack, but looked at the opposite side, once the opposite side began to press, he had to consider the distance behind the car, time, must delay the time, there are two days, today must be delayed, and when it comes to tomorrow, a hard fight will be done, even if Meng He wants to retreat, it will be impossible! ”

Mu Yong watched the opposite army assemble again, his brows furrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the infantry began to press in, and as soon as Zhai Jiang saw the other party marching, he immediately ordered the archers to prepare, but before he could attack, he saw that the archers on the opposite side also began to advance, and in desperation, he could only order a retreat.

As soon as Zhai Jiang retreated, Mu Yong also stopped marching and returned directly, today's purpose has been achieved, it is to test the other party's purpose for the last time, and now it seems that nine times out of ten they are waiting for heavy rain and flooding.

The battle made Li Qingxue frown, in the same way, the Tianjiao present were not fools, the other party's move was obviously a temptation, could it be that Meng He guessed their purpose, could it be that the other party really has a master who can observe the weather, if so, Li Qingxue will really give up his efforts.

"Lord, look at tomorrow, if they don't withdraw their troops, then it's all right, if they withdraw their troops, then this battle will be over!" Gu Yun didn't know when he appeared behind Li Qingxue, and said.

"Old Gu, I know, although I am a little unwilling, but if they really have such a character, it is best for me to end this battle!" Li Qingxue also understood this truth, so after hearing Gu Lao's words, he nodded and said.

"Lord, General Huo, military advisor, it seems that Li Qingxue does have a problem, just after the battle, although the other party lost a lot of soldiers because of the reckless advance, but when I marched, they actually retreated, this is unreasonable, at least we have to fight to see, but they didn't!" Back in the camp, Mu Yong handed over the road.

"General Mu has worked hard, this time he is tempted, Li Qingxue should also suspect something, but it's a pity, why won't they just retreat!" Huo Miao said with a slight smile.

"Alright, let's wait for the heavy rain together! General Lin, the task of guarding is entrusted to you, as soon as the heavy rain comes, the enemy will definitely attack fiercely, you only have 50,000 people to deploy, the safety of the generals and the lord depends on you! Meng He also spoke.

A day passed, although Li Qingxue tried to let the scouts explore Chen He's camp at night, the scouts arranged by Ren Hang were not so easy to pass, and in the end they lost a lot of troops, and they didn't get any information. Fortunately, as soon as the morning dawned, Li Qingxue saw that the other party's camp was still there, and the patrolling soldiers were still there, but the camp tent was still missing, and he comforted himself in his heart: "Meng He is continuing to play tricks, as long as I can't hold out, as long as the heavy rain arrives tomorrow, let's divide the highs and lows!" ”

On a calm day, except for Mo Ke with two thousand soldiers, showing off his might for a day, no fighting happened, and in the afternoon, the wind suddenly rose, the dark clouds were thick, and the blue sky and white sun instantly turned into a demon wind, and in the camp, Chen He and other generals were there.

"Lord, the heavy rain is coming, this should be the opportunity for Li Qingxue to wait, and then it should be time for him to attack!" Meng He said.

"Lord, his subordinates will definitely guard the pass, and they will never give Li Qingxue the slightest chance, and when the heavy rain passes, it will be the day to compete with them!" Lin Tiehu took the lead in stating that this time his task and responsibility were final, as long as the heavy rain did not stop, he would not be able to withdraw his troops, and it was his task to hold the pass and block Li Qingxue's attack.

"I believe in the generals, Huo Miu, you will arrange the combat mission!" Chen He nodded, and then said to Huo Miao.

"Yes!" Huo Miao responded, and then said: "General Lin, the 50,000 army will be handed over to you 30,000, and you must stick to the pass until the heavy rain stops, which can make Li Qingxue wait hard, and it will cause heavy rain in the water of the Longjiang River, and it will not be small, so your task is very arduous!" ”

"Swear to the death and stick to the pass!" Lin Tiehu got up and clenched his fists and said sonorously.

"Other generals, follow me to see the situation, ready to cut into battle at any time, General Yan, you have the strongest martial arts, when necessary, you have to enter the battle to kill the enemy generals!" Huo Miao looked at Yan Wushuang and said.

"I want it!" Yan Wushuang clenched his fists and said arrogantly.

"Me too!" Mock shouted after him, but was ignored.
