Chapter 3: The Battle of Hengduan Mountain (I)
On the high city wall, Gan Lin and Hu Lai watched their two companions lead the soldiers all the way to the north, and they were somewhat uneasy in their hearts.
The tall Hu Lai seemed to be talking to himself: "By the way, can they come back after they go?" ”
"Absolutely!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because I always believed in our general, and he never did anything to disappoint me!"
"Yes, he is indeed very good, he has such a powerful ability at a young age, I really don't know what kind of person he is."
Gan Lin didn't answer, she looked preoccupied, but her eyes never left the north, she wanted to look at the dynamics ahead, even if she couldn't see it.
"Do you say that the enemy is still coming to raid our city tonight?"
"Maybe, maybe they also started to act, but I don't know if they will meet Yan and Han."
"If the enemy sneaks in from the mountain paths, will our remaining 10,000 soldiers be able to hold this city? Almost all of them are recently recruited recruits, and their combat effectiveness is too poor! ”
"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it! Behind us are countless Imperial civilians, and if the enemy wants to enter, they must step over our corpses! Gan Lin turned his head and returned firmly.
"yes, we don't have a retreat." Hu Lai's eyes drifted behind him, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long silence, Hu Lai asked, "Where did the general go?" ”
"I don't know."
So, he walked down the city wall, and there were too many affairs in the city for him to leave for long.
Gan Lin looked at his departing back, thoughtfully, called two guards, whispered something in their ears, and then also walked down the city wall, not knowing where to go.
——
A carrier pigeon suddenly flew to Murong Feng's camp tent and made a call, then he opened the camp gate and found a small note tied to its leg, he smiled, found Qingzhou Mu, briefly explained to him, and left.
On the back of the Hengduan Mountains, hundreds of camps, large and small, appeared scattered in the open space at the foot of the mountain, bonfires and camps quietly played their role in front of the camps, and the patrolling soldiers also carefully inspected the camps back and forth, everything seemed very quiet and peaceful.
However, it didn't take long for the silence to be shattered by a panicked cry.
"The soldiers of Dalie have attacked the camp, and they are almost within five miles of us!"
For a while, the soldiers in the camp were moving, the war horses were neighing, and the generals were issuing orders and commands.
It's just that at this time, Murong Feng, the commander of the whole army, disappeared, and at the same time, his war horse and more than 10,000 elite warriors in their Longzhou were missing!
This change made the senior generals of the fourteen states in the Northern Regions lose their minds, but fortunately, most of their senior state ministers are still very experienced, and quickly appeased everyone and blocked the news, so as not to have any unpredictable changes in the army, you know, the sudden disappearance of the commander before the war is great bad news for morale and military morale.
"How many people are coming, and who is the commander?"
Qingzhou Mu took out the token belonging to the Murong family, and became the temporary commander of this army, sitting on the main seat with a golden sword, asking the sentinel who passed the word, of course, Qingzhou is also the most powerful state among the sixteen states.
"There are 10,000 people in sight, all of them are strong men in armor and imposing, and the leader is a white-robed young man, who looks heroic and extraordinary."
"That kid's name is Han Duan, he is a powerful guy, he once had a conflict with a small force in my state, and now I want to kill him to take revenge!" Youzhou Mu said coldly.
"10,000 of them dare to attack the camp? Is this going to fight with us? Don't they know that we claim to be an army of 100,000, and with the strength of our soldiers in the Northern Regions, how dare they fight against 10? Yunzhou Mu was puzzled.
"Haha, maybe they have some tricks, as we all know, the southerners love to do this, but in the face of absolute strength, everything is a floating cloud, and our iron cavalry in the northern region is bound to crush them!" Youzhou Mu said disdainfully.
"Okay, it's not too early, everyone go back and prepare, and then we will teach me a lesson about these southerners who don't know whether to live or die, and then go straight to their northern city!" Qingzhou Mu looked at the night sky illuminated by the firelight and gave an order to everyone.
In Russia, a group of cavalry appeared at the foot of the mountain, and it was Han Duan and his party.
With a spear in his right hand, a sword hanging from his waist, and a reins in his left hand, he roared to the sky, "Warriors, I will lead the charge!" Break up their camp with me and kill all the thieves! ”
"Kill ......"
I don't know who shouted it, but that's how the war began.
Han Duan is like a killing star descending into the world, invincible with a spear, no one can beat him! One shot at a time, harvesting the lives of the soldiers in the Northern Regions!
"A little cold came first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!"
Yunzhou Mu saw it and exclaimed, this is one of the famous sayings of the Great Lie Emperor, who is respected as the master, and he also acts as the teacher of Liuchuan Feng.
Although Qingzhou Mu was very afraid of this gun, but seeing that more than ten people from his side had died in his hands, as a temporary supreme general, of course he had to stand up to stop it, otherwise his morale would soon disappear with the killing of the other party.
With his appearance, Han Duan finally stopped the pace of killing, however, after dozens of rounds of fighting between the two sides, Han Duan still slowly gained the upper hand and stabbed Qingzhou Mu off his horse with a single shot!
This changed the situation of the battle, the soldiers of the Northern Regions saw that their commander was injured by the enemy, their morale was low, and their combat effectiveness was reduced by half, while the soldiers of the Liuchuan family saw that their generals were so brave, and they couldn't help but become brave and became not afraid of death, so this battle with asymmetrical numbers and asymmetrical combat effectiveness was fought back and forth, and it was evenly matched.
Youzhou Mu met the young man on the white horse and saved Qingzhou Mu, but after more than 30 rounds of fighting, he also fled in defeat, looking at the enemy who lost his armor, Han Du's momentum became stronger and more excited.
"Hehe, is this the strength of your Northern Regions generals? Hahaha, vulnerable, call that Laoshizi Murong Feng out, I'm going to behead him! ”
The arrogant and leaping Han Duan mercilessly mocked this group of tall people from the Northern Regions, which was also one of the ways to demoralize the other party, and as an excellent vanguard general, he knew it well.
"Hmph, Hugh is arrogant! See me come to cure you. ”
Lingzhou Mu rode a high-headed horse and came steadily to the front of the two armies, and confronted Han Duan-for-tat.
"He's a master."
Seeing that the other party was strong, Han Duan put away his carelessness and fought with him seriously, the two were evenly matched, and the fight was inseparable, and at this time, seeing that the mighty and invincible commander was blocked by the enemy, the morale of the soldiers of the Ruchuan family gradually declined, and the situation of the battle began to change, after all, their strength was only one-seventh of that of others.
Seeing this situation, the new Yanzhou Mu quietly stepped aside and whispered to his henchmen, but the sudden change made him immediately abandon his original plan.
At the rear of the camp, Yan Ku and his 10,000 soldiers have been here for a long time, but he has been waiting for the opportunity, and it is also to ensure the safety of the soldiers he brought to the greatest extent, so that Han can consume as much as possible and attract the attention of the enemy, and now the time has come.
"Do it!"
As soon as the words fell, countless arrows suddenly galloped towards the soldiers of the Northern Regions, and a large number of torches rushed towards the grain and grass baggage in the Northern Regions.
Soon, the huge camp turned into a sea of fire, tens of thousands of soldiers in the northern region were in a mess, people turned on their backs, and many people were trampled to death!
The generals of the sixteen states were not bad experienced commanders, and they quickly put order in order, of course, sometimes it was a very iron-blooded method, but despite this, their soldiers almost lost their fighting spirit, and the morale of the army was broken.
Of course, Han Duan would not lose this opportunity, he raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors, rush!" ”
With the hard front and back attack, it didn't take long for the soldiers of the Northern Regions who had just recovered some military discipline to be beaten again, Qingzhou Mu saw that the general trend had gone, and sighed: "Retreat, the master has a good saying, 'Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood', everyone stay calm, thousands of troops have become rear armies, and they can still fight under the cover of the left and right, I will personally break the rear!" ”
With his actions, the soldiers of the Northern Regions also re-changed their formations under the arrangement and command of the generals and retreated in an orderly manner.
"Catch up and kill them all!"
Han Duan's white robe and white armor were stained red with blood, and there were many scars on his body, and he ordered murderously.
"The general said, don't chase the poor, after all, they still have several times our troops, and those state pastors are not simple goods, it is not suitable to pursue, we should hurry up and clean up the battlefield, go back, I found that the main general of the enemy army is gone, I am afraid that there will be changes."
Yan Ku stopped him and analyzed it carefully, although Han Duan had the intention to chase the enemy, he was actually almost exhausted, and he also knew that his companion's worries were reasonable, so he had to agree.
"Beasts of the Northern Regions, you are lucky this time, next time I will kill you all!"
He shouted and cursed the people of the Northern Regions who had gone away for a while, as a sign of respect.
In this battleground, the Great Fierce Empire was victorious, and at the same time an even fiercer and bloodier brutal battle broke out in another place.
