Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter 13 Soldiers' Treacherous Ways, Eight Orders
The army of 10,000 people in front of him was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and suddenly appeared outside Linhai City. Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the defenders of Linhai City were all excited, and they clenched their swords one after another, ready to kill the enemy with Qingcheng and make meritorious contributions.
"How did it come so quickly?"
On the pirate side, the leader had just been defeated by Qingcheng, and his morale was already low, and the sudden reinforcements naturally made them retreat. It's just that the leader looked at the so-called "army of 10,000 people" not far away, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't seem to have the intention of withdrawing immediately.
"If it is really an army of 10,000 people rushing to kill, it must be huge, and it is impossible to hear the sound until you are almost in front of you. However, the Great Qi army, a hundred people and one flag, is indeed the case. Coupled with this flying sand, it doesn't look like a few hundred people can create a momentum. ”
Although there were doubts in his heart, the battle situation was changing rapidly, although this person didn't want to let go of Qingcheng, a fierce general, but the reinforcements of Daqi were killing in front of him, and he didn't dare to take risks. What's more, the reinforcements have arrived, and there are many things to prepare, so he can't delay time from here, but he always has a trace of regret in his heart when he lets the tiger return to the mountain like this, and his intuition tells him that if it doesn't work out in the future, it will be the people in front of him who will obstruct him......
Qingcheng seemed to see this person's retreat and hesitation, thought about it, chuckled and pointed the gun at him, and laughed loudly: "Come on, come on, you are a rare master, I won't let you die like this under the heart of ten thousand arrows." Let's fight for another 300 rounds, and if you win, I'll let you go." ”
Listening to the firm tone in Qingcheng's words, it seemed that the overall situation was already in control, and this person no longer hesitated. I saw that his right hand was slightly raised, waving his hand, and his men and horses scattered and fled, looking really like a group of undisciplined rogues. However, the sharp eyes are like Qingcheng, and they can naturally see some doorways.
"Three thousand, scattered in an orderly manner in eight directions. Although it looks aimless, it seems to be fleeing, but in fact, it is just a trick, presumably, it is the 'Eight Gate Order'. The direction of convergence has been set before escaping, so you are not afraid of getting lost. ”
The so-called "Eight Gate Order" is a kind of order that was spread in the Central Plains, later learned by the Haichuan generals, and often appeared on the battlefield. In fact, it is a trick to confuse the other party, and it seems that the army is defeated, and he only cares about fleeing for his life, but in fact, the commander has set the position of the eight directions as early as the time of training, and at the same time named the eight gates.
For those who do not know the art of war, as soon as they see that the other party is defeated, they will divide their troops and wait until the other party gathers in one place, just to catch them off guard. However, for a famous family like Qingcheng, it is a bit of a class.
"I even know the orders of the eight gates", glancing at the pirates fleeing for their lives, Qingcheng looked at the leader, chuckled and continued: "You still dare to say that you are a pirate? ”
Listening to Qingcheng's words, after this person pondered for a while, he put away his joking expression, bowed to Qingcheng, and said solemnly: "In Xiashangquan Xinyi, please ask Your Excellency to honor your name." ”
Shangquan Xinyi showed great respect, although hostile and hateful, Qingcheng still reported himself to his home first, and said: "Wan Lijun strikes first, Qingyucheng junior general Duan Qingcheng." ”
"No wonder, I actually met someone from the Duan family in Qingyu City", hearing the name of Qingcheng, this Shangquan Xinyi seemed to have heard something about Qingyu City, chuckled, and continued: "Duan Feiyan, the famous general of the Great Qi Dynasty, is it Your Excellency?" ”
"That's my father."
Duan Feiyan is a famous general of the Great Qi, who has fought in the south and north for decades, and has a prominent reputation. Although the title is not high, it is famous in the army and in the subject countries of Daqi. And this Shangquan Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when he heard that Qingcheng was Duan Feiyan's only son, and sighed: "Hey, I really can't imagine that after meeting a famous general like you so quickly, I don't know if it's fortunate or unlucky." However, it is a pity that General Duan's affairs are committed, and I can't imagine that the descendants of the Duan family will be loyal to the Han family of Daqi. ”
Hearing this person speak like this, Qingcheng frowned slightly, and said sharply: "You listen to me." Since you know that I am a member of the Duan family, you should understand that the so-called pirate theory is simply nonsense in my opinion. You and I know what your identity is, I only say one thing, when I first arrived in Linhai City today, I saw you killing my Daqi soldiers, and you should have been wiped out, but I don't want to bully more and less, in the coming day, we will meet again on the battlefield, and like you are so despicable and shameless, and there will be no good results, or go back and wash your neck, and wait for my Daqi Wang Shi to cut it! ”
Now that he knows Qingcheng's identity, Shangquan Xinyi no longer quibbles, because he understands that after a famous general like Qingcheng, he is familiar with the art of war many times more than him, so why bother to get an axe again, and it is boring to talk about himself. However, there was one thing he knew that Qingcheng was right, and that was that they would definitely meet on the battlefield.
Seeing that all the subordinates around him had retreated, Shangquan Xinyi knew that he should also go, nodded after a moment of silence, bowed his hand to Qingcheng, and said: "Thank you General Duan for your righteousness, you should ask for advice when you meet in the future, and there will be a period later." ”
With that, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi turned over and got on his horse and prepared to leave. And at this time, he seemed to remember something, took out a letter from his arms, and threw it out with all the strength in his hand, throwing it towards Qingcheng.
"My brother heard that the master of the Wanli Army is like a cloud, so he wrote a letter and asked me to transfer it to the famous general Xu Lin. But I think he should be more interested in the Duan family of Qingyu City, hehe. General Duan, this letter of war is for you. ”
With that, he rode away. And Qingcheng's side, after taking the battle book, used the force in his hand to eliminate the dark energy of Shangquan Xinyi, and wanted to take it apart, but when he thought of the situation at the moment, he still put it away first. Yang Xianfa on the side looked at him, muttered for a moment and then opened his mouth to stop talking, Qingcheng saw his thoughts, chuckled, dismounted and stepped forward.
"Yang Xianfa wants to ask why I let them go, right?"
"General Duan is my benefactor, and I dare not hide it. That's right, I really don't understand why General Duan let these beasts go. ”
Listening to Yang Xianfa's tone, Qingcheng understood that he seemed to blame himself, and smiled helplessly, just about to answer, the wind that happened to bring people to help had already run to the front, hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one knee, and said: "The future aid is slow in the end, please ask the young master to surrender!" ”
Looking at his appearance, Qingcheng hurriedly helped him up and said in a low voice: "I am now the first of the Wan Li Army, don't call me that to the outside world." In addition, it is really difficult for you to collect so many branches and flags in such a short period of time. The timing of the rescue was just right, and it was not too late. ”
Seeing the reinforcements coming to him, Yang Xianfa was stunned for a moment after seeing it clearly, and his incomprehensible expression hung on his face undisguisedly. It turned out that the reinforcements of 10,000 people who were looking at it from a distance realized that there were only 200 cavalry. However, almost all of them had a flag in their hands, and the few who did not have one were tied to the head of their guns with a large cloth, which looked like flags from a distance. And if you look closely, you can find that the tails of the two hundred cavalry are tied to many long branches, and I don't know what the purpose is.
"Branches...... Flags ......"
Seeing that Yang Xianfa saw the true image clearly, Qingcheng stepped forward with a chuckle and said: "When you were surrounded, the army was far away sixty miles away, and it was a little slow to rush to rescue you, so I took the first step and came with these two hundred cavalry." But the other party has a large number of people and fights hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. Therefore, the soldiers acted treacherously, so I asked them to find 200 flags, and then tied branches to the horse's tail, creating the appearance of wild sand in the sky, and the combination of virtual and real, which frightened them. ”
Listening to Qingcheng's words, Yang Xianfa understood, and after a moment of silence, he glanced at the brothers around him, nodded to each other, and then under his leadership, everyone knelt down in front of Qingcheng. The sudden situation in front of him made Qingcheng stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly reached out to help everyone up.
"General Duan is both wise and brave, and he is really a general's talent. Today, thanks to the general's rescue, this kindness and this situation, I will never forget, please accept my waiting. ”
"Yang Xianfa, brothers, don't do this", Qingcheng said while holding Yang Xianfa: "We are all soldiers who defend the land and defend the country, so why worry about trivial matters." My father is handsome...... My father once said, 'For soldiers, they should be brothers and sisters, entrusted with life, life and death', today we are in trouble together, there is no one who surrenders, in the coming day, we should enjoy the blessings together, everyone please get up quickly, don't be tormenting Qingcheng. In addition, Qingcheng is only the first in the Wanli army, but he can't afford to be a general. ”
Listening to Qingcheng's words, Yang Xianfa was very moved, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "The general is righteous!" ”
"The general's righteousness!" "The general's righteousness!"
Listening to everyone's shouts, Qingcheng was very pleased, thinking of the wrongs suffered by the family, and seemed to see Zhaoxue's hope.
"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, our Duan family is right, standing upright, and righteousness is all over the world, as long as I can prove myself and make immortal achievements, I believe that Your Majesty will be able to turn the sacred heart." Father, don't worry, Qingcheng should do his best to clear your grievances as soon as possible. ”
At this moment, Qingcheng is only bent on grievances for his family, and he may not know that he and this group of soldiers only have a friendship of sharing hardships and hardships, and do not share a happy life......
When the sun set, Wan Li's army rushed to the outside of Linhai City and officially took over the defense of the whole city, and when they saw the beaten and fragmented garrison army, they couldn't help but feel sad. The second-class martial marquis of Zhenhai City, with 30,000 garrison troops under his command, and he is sitting in an important coastal town, which is really, what a majesty. But I didn't expect that I would end up like this today.
At this moment, in Linhai City, in the Commander's Mansion, King Guhong and Xu Lin, the first general of the Wanli Army, were sitting in front of the hall, looking at the person in front of them. This man is of medium height, dark-complexion, slightly strong, with a striking scar on his weather-beaten face, his eyes are sluggish, and he looks majestic in a strong suit, but the injuries on his head and arms also make his miserable condition difficult to hide. And he is the protagonist of this Haichuan bandit, the second-class Zhenhai Marquis of Daqi, and Tang Wujing, the commander of Linhai City!
This time the Haichuan bandits, Zhenhai Hou was beaten to the ground, although he lost the strategy, but the victory was in the integrity, but such a defeat, the Great Qi court is naturally not allowed. And as the official of the Eastern Frontier, King Guhong, the commander of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, also didn't think about how to deal with this defeated general.
Seeing that King Guhong and Xu Lin were silent, the Marquis of Zhenhai pondered for a moment, knelt down on one knee, and said decisively: "The last general was derelict in his duty and lost the face of Prince Mu and the court, and I am even more sorry for the dead soldiers and the people of Linhai City. However, the other party needs to report to the prince in person, so he can survive for many days. Today, the Wanli army has arrived, please let the prince fall, and the last general will never complain! ”
"Hmph, good!"
