Chapter 771: The Battle of Life and Death

|||->-> The grassland in July is extremely green, the green carpet decorated with blue sky and white clouds is beautiful, Luo Huaiwang, who followed the Chinese army to march together, leaned down from the horse, easily picked up the large cluster of flowers, the bees were reluctant to give up the fragrance of the flowers, "buzzing" around the flowers, the birds that were startled by the sound of horses' hooves swept the silk lines in the blue sky, and the wild horses and wild sheep on the horizon were galloping in the grass.

Shi Chongren sniffed the fragrance of flowers in his arms and sighed: "In the book, it is said that the Mobei grassland is a vast expanse of blue and fertile fields, and it is true that you know the vastness of the world when you are really in it, which makes people open-minded. Jiang Shi, why don't you see your poetry flourishing with such a beautiful scenery, Xiao Wang couldn't help but chant a few words, well, there is, the green grass is green to the sky, let the horse gallop and step on the fragrance of flowers......"

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly and was speechless, since the Son of Heaven asked Shi Chongren to follow Jiang Anyi to learn some poetry, Shi Chongren changed his name to Jiang Shi. The third son of the Son of Heaven, Jiang Anyi is still a little proud to be the teacher in the mouth of two of them. Luo Huaiwang is very intelligent, he learns one and knows three, and it was originally a pleasure to be able to teach such a disciple, but he is out of nature by nature, and all kinds of whimsical ideas emerge in endlessly, Jiang Anyi felt a headache when he met this student.

It has been 30 days since the troops were sent north on June 26, and it is only more than 400 miles away from the Moren Royal Court, and the closer they get to the royal court, the more battles will occur every day, and the army is in a tense state of readiness for battle all the time, and a few people are still in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the grassland.

The herald continuously reported the situation of the march of the various departments, Wang Keming was like a spider in the middle of the spider's web, always knowing the dynamics of the army, the closer to the royal court, the more cautious Wang Keming became, and the decisive battle with the desert people was likely to break out in this day or two.

The fast horse on the left galloped over, Wang Keming saw the red flag flying high and knew that Miao Tieshan had received the enemy, and did not wait for the fast horse to gallop close, and there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and in a moment five fast horses holding red flags came to report successively, and the desert cavalry was divided into five parts, and launched a fierce attack on the Zheng army respectively.

Miao Tieshan took the lead in receiving the enemy, hearing the thunder of the horses' hooves, Miao Tieshan immediately ordered the deployment, thirty winch crossbows were unloaded from the carriage in a row, the infantry phalanx was quickly formed, the shield was on the ground, the spear was erected, the longbow was ready to fire, the light horse was behind, and the heavy horse was fully armored and busy.

Attacking the Miaotie Mountains was Kunbo, and 100,000 desert horsemen rushed in like a flood that had burst its embankment. A hundred steps away, in the sound of "collapse", the winch crossbow shot out long arrows, and the horses behind were unable to dodge and were penetrated by the long arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the sunlight was obscured by sharp arrows, and the intertwined arrows only collided in the air, falling like a rain of arrows, and the green grass was instantly filled with dense arrows, like a wheat field with a good harvest, but the wheat field was flowing with blood.

The horse's hooves stepped on the shield, trampled the soldiers behind the shield, several spears pierced straight over, the scimitar swept the spear head to the ground, the spear on the side pierced the horse's belly, the horse neighed in pain, the knight on the horse clamped the horse's belly, but the crossbow bolts flew into the front door, screamed and landed, and were heavily trampled on by the horse's hooves coming from behind.

The sound of trumpets and war drums, the neighing of horses, the whizzing of arrows, the dull sound of knives and spears entering the flesh accompanied by screams, the sound of horses' hooves muffled the roar of falling to the ground, and the green steppe was replaced by a bright red color. The birds are extinct within a radius of more than 100 miles, and even the bees and butterflies have nowhere to hide in the shadow of the sword and arrows.

Bumping, falling to the ground, groaning, the green grassland ushered in a blood sacrifice.

The big tent of the Chinese army, the intelligence of the battle of the army is constantly sent, Shi Fangzhen and Wang Keming stand next to the sand table, the military counselor constantly changes the position of the army on the sand table according to the intelligence, the war never started, an hour and a half has passed, the casualties of the Zheng army have been as high as more than 30,000 people, Qi Xinwen Ministry, Zhang Yuan's official department, and the central part of Pang Qing have been in danger several times, if the Chinese army did not send troops to support in time, I am afraid that it has been killed by the desert cavalry to the Chinese army.

At the time of Shen, the desert army retreated. Shi Fangzhen convened the commanders of the various armies to discuss, the Zheng army casualties in this battle have exceeded 40,000, and Shi Fangzhen is a little comforted by the fact that the casualties of the Mo army are no different from the Zheng army, and the Zheng army is more numerical than the Mo people, and in general there is no loss.

Wang Keming said: "Today's battle of the desert cavalry is about 500,000, it seems that the desert army wants to fight with our army here, if you can annihilate more than 200,000 desert cavalry in one fell swoop, this northern expedition will be victorious." The desert people planned to fight a decisive battle with our army here, and all units guarded the camp at night and did not attack, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

After Wang Keming finished arranging, Shi Fangzhen said: "Our army is only four hundred miles away from the royal court, and victory is already in sight. ”

The joy was thunderous, such a good thing as dividing the territory and tearing the soil had not happened for a hundred years, and everyone in the tent was in high spirits, and they were even more anxious to glance at the sand table placed in the tent, thinking about which piece of land to choose with fertile water and plants.

"Everyone, I don't want to reward you, but whoever wants to face the enemy's cowardice and cause the army to lose, don't blame me for not being merciful." After giving the sweet dates, Shi Fangzhen began to wave the stick and said, "You have also seen the fierceness of the desert people, and it is not yet possible to predict who will win and who will lose. If our army wins, the thousand-year-old sorrow can be calmed, and I and Zhuqing can go down in history, but if this battle is lost, I will be a faint king in the eyes of future generations, and I will become a faint king, and Zhuqing's life will not be easy. Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of me and your future, there must be no room for error. ”

The moon was unknown, but Zheng Jun's camp was brightly lit, reflecting the dark sky red. There were no trees in the grassland, the timber used for camping could only be hauled by servants, the earthen walls were piled up into walls, the spears were tied to the horizontal bars to reject the horses, and the ground was sprinkled with thistles. The camp is orderly, the patrols on duty pass by, there are checkpoints everywhere, it is difficult to move an inch in the camp without a password, and there are even masters of the Military Intelligence Department who are secretly guarding to prevent the indifference masters from sneaking in.

At the same moment, the horn sounded, the camp began to quiet, the soldiers began to rest, they were already tired from the daytime battle, and after a while, there was a snoring in the barracks, which overshadowed the sound of insects in the grass.

At noon, when the crescent moon was obscured by the clouds, and the grassland was dark, and the soldiers on the watchtower began to change their guards, at this time, a black shadow quietly waded through the thistle, and dived into the trench like a tanuki, listened attentively, and deftly drilled through the rejection horse, and came to the earthen wall. This is the middle of the two watchtowers, the light of the torches blown by the night wind, and the shadows swaying like ghosts. The black shadow silently climbed up the earthen wall, and fell into the shadow of the tent, and dived deep into the camp in two by two.

There are five battalions on the periphery of the Zheng army, each battalion of 120,000 troops, and the camps are connected to each other and surrounded by a number

The ten-mile circle guarded 200,000 Chinese troops in it. The big camp that the black shadow infiltrated was the department of Miao Tieshan, the camp was about seven miles long, three miles thick, and the tent was more than 10,000 roofs, and the area was about the same size as a county town.

The moonlight flashed behind the dark clouds, and the moonlight shone right on the face of the black shadow, and the leopard's head was ringed, and the face was like iron, and the neck was thick and thick, and the body was burly, and the huge eyes like brass bells flashed, and Leha lay down on the cowhide tent, and after a moment the footsteps were neat, and a group of patrolmen walked in front of the tent, and did not find the lurking Leha.

At the end of the Day-Sun War, Kunbo led his army back to the garrison, and although he killed many Zheng troops, the casualties of the Mo people were not small. The morale of the entire garrison was low, and everyone originally thought that the weak Zheng army would flee under the attack, but the result was not satisfactory. The black wolf rode twice, each time it was intercepted by the Zheng army's heavy cavalry, and 10,000 black wolf riders were smashed by 5,000 heavy cavalry, and finally they could only rely on the advantage of speed to avoid, which made the desert generals including Kunbo a little depressed.

At supper, there was a quarrel among the generals, and it was proposed that they attack the camp tonight; Some people think that after many attacks and harassments, the Zheng army was well defended, and the gains of attacking the camp outweighed the losses. Seeing that someone sighed and lost his heart, Kunbo angrily reprimanded: "Changshengtian is watching us, your wives, children, old and young family members are waiting for the news of our victory, will our grazing song and dance land be given to others for thousands of years, and your children and grandchildren want to be slaves of the Zheng people?" As a grassland warrior, for the glory that immortality God has given us, we can only fight to the death. ”

After being yelled at by Cumpo, everyone cheered up. Leha said: "Emperor Zheng also came with the army, I will go to get his head tonight, as soon as Emperor Zheng dies, the Zheng army will be chaotic." ”

When it got dark, Leha came to the outside of Zheng's camp with two retinues, handed over the horse to the retinue, and Leha infiltrated the camp alone. Relying on his spiritual sense, Leha avoided the patrolling soldiers in advance, and the master kung fu of those military intelligence divisions was far inferior to Leha, and no one noticed him. Le Ha did not go to the Shuai tent, but passed through the camp and came towards the Chinese army camp, and his target was Emperor Zheng Shi Fangzhen.

There is a gentle slope next to the camp of the Chinese army, the bonfire on the top of the slope is flickering, five people sit around the fire, Leha quietly sneaked over, more than ten zhang away from the bonfire and crouched in the grass, the wind sent the sound of a few people laughing, Leha distinguished the breath of a few, the breath was long and steady, and he should be a good hand in the Zhengren Military Intelligence Division.

The gentle slope has a wide field of vision, and to avoid the sight of these people to sneak into the camp to go around the big bend, Leha looked up at the sky, the moon has set in the west, and there is only more than an hour left before dawn. Leha thought that he was going to infiltrate the camp and turn back, but it was too late, and gritted his teeth, Leha sneaked up in the grass.

The war kept the shepherds away, there were no cattle and sheep to graze, the grass grew more than three feet high, and the wind and grass made a "brush" sound, which drowned out the sound of Leha's movement. The night breeze was bleak, and the five of them roasted lamb on the fire, and the aroma of wine wafted into Leha's nose.

Leha sneered slightly, after drinking, people's reactions will be sluggish, and they dived close to the distance of the bonfire, and these five Zheng people didn't realize that their death time had arrived. With a kick on his toes, his body shot out like a sharp arrow, and Leha had his head as a hammer, and slammed it into the back of the heart of the person sitting with his back to him, and his hands reached out, striking at the left and right sides respectively.
