Chapter 860: Reality Is Coming
The slanting sun once again stretched all the scenery of Guanlong Road, and under the golden afterglow, the dilapidated and barren Baiqi Fort, and the red deer pass, which could be seen faintly in the distance, were all stained with a trace of what should have been holy, but now it looked like it was a little suffocating and desolate.
By now, everything has been put on the bright side, whether it is Ye Qing's movements, or the Red Deer Pass who is waiting for him, or the hot Gongji who is hurrying behind him, or the begging Shilie gods and slaves after setting off from Changning Station, they are already clear about the current situation.
Su Dao and Wei Mingling Gong in the Red Deer Pass have already regarded Ye Qing, who hastily settled in Baiqibao, as a dead man, and Hot Gongji also believes that Ye Qing's dying struggle is like a return to the light, and he and the Red Deer Pass are flanked back and forth, coupled with the encirclement of the golden people who may appear in the south at any time, Ye Qing will not escape death even if he inserts his wings!
After Ye Qing and the others settled in Baiqibao, the scouts of Red Luguan also became more and more unscrupulous, not caring about the scouts of the Song people at all, and even sometimes shouting as if they were provocatively entering the range of the Song people's crossbow arrows.
And the Song people who killed all the way were silent at this time, whether it was the scattered scouts sent out, or the Song army who were waiting for them, they just looked at them coldly, which formed a sharp contrast with the arrogant, arrogant, and domineering behavior along the way.
The sunset in exchange for the colorful sunset reflected in the western skyline, the black mountain of Guanshan stands silently in it, which makes today's sunset look particularly magnificent and magnificent.
At the open gate of the Red Deer Pass, the cavalry of the Xia people were ready to go, and the fierce momentum of the dignified slaughter, even the Song army ten miles away seemed to be able to feel the soaring murderous aura coming to their faces.
The scout's war horse raised yellow smoke and dust, and galloped all the way to Ye Qing: "My lord, the Xia people are going to get out of the customs, it seems that they should test our reaction first." ”?“ Xiaobao ....... Ye Qing looked at the lines he had drawn on the ground under his feet, and said without raising his head: "Tonight, Red Deer Pass will not only test and harass us this time, it is very likely that it will continue to launch a feint attack on us all night, but we don't have to reserve any strength, it is best to attract all their eyes to our side, and strive for a better chance for Yu Yunwen in the east." ”
"Understand, my lord, don't worry, the last general will guarantee that they will not return." Mo Xiaobao stood up, and the nail leaves on his body made a crisp noise, and at this moment, it sounded as if they were all with high fighting intent.
Ye Qing still hadn't realized that he had misjudged Yu Yunwen's marching process, and he still believed in his heart that Yu Yunwen would definitely suddenly launch an attack on Malu Pass at some point tonight.
Of course, he also knew that the four thousand of them would not be able to withstand the all-out onslaught of more than 20,000 people in Malu Pass, but it was precisely because of the approaching node of the night that he believed that whether it was Su Dao or the more calm Wei Ming Linggong, they would never launch an all-out onslaught on themselves tonight, they would only send defenders in turn tonight to harass themselves, so that they and the others could not get a moment of relaxation, and the real attack would start before dawn.
But will Yu Yunwen give him such a chance? A sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, I am afraid that before dawn, the Red Deer Pass will be broken by Yu Yunwen behind them, and the Red Deer Pass, which has more than 20,000 people, will only have a few harassment battles with him at most, and he will not have the opportunity to fight with himself with all his strength.
So Ye Qing's idea is very good, tonight before Yu Yunwen tackles the problem, he also has enough strength to take turns to deal with the harassment of Ma Luguan against him, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, each with two thousand kinds of flower army, can be supported in rotation until the moment when Yu Yunwen starts to tackle the problem.
At that time, whether it was the hot Gongji behind him, or the begging stone martyrs who would kill from the flank, they could only watch themselves enter the Red Deer Pass, and then chase and kill them in turn, and seize the entire Qinjiayuan Dao and Guanlong Dao.
The bloody remnant sun was gradually eroded by a layer of night, and the sound of iron hooves in the distance began to gradually become clear, and the ground under his feet began to tremble.
The night that gradually shrouded the entire Guanshan not only allowed the Red Deer Pass to attack when it harassed Ye Qing, but also slowed down the speed of the hot Gongji and the begging Shilie gods and slaves to rush to their aid.
When the earth-shattering shouts of killing began to come from below Baiqi Fort, the anxious and hot Gongji had to order the army to stop and rest and recuperate, and wait until tomorrow morning to set off again.
The morale of the entire reinforcements was extremely low, and they were also extremely angry, just like the hot Gongji at this time, since they arrived at the Great Earthquake Pass, they were taken aback by the scene in front of them, Ye Qing seemed to know that his hot Gongji would come to the aid in person, so after breaking through the vulnerable ambush trap, what came into the eyes of the hot Gongji was a tragic picture like hell.
The temperament of the horizontal and vertical exuded a foul smell, the charred corpse was even more foul-smelling, the surviving war horses were pacing aimlessly in the camp, and the birds and beasts who liked to eat carrion did not panic because of their arrival, and still gnawed at the corpses of their Xia people in a hurry.
As the arrow in the soldier's hand shot at a bird, when the bird flapped its wings, it could be clearly seen that it was still holding a intestine that had just been turned out of the corpse of the Xia people in its mouth, and it flew high into the air in a swaying manner.
If it is said that the tragedy of the Great Earthquake Pass is still in the expectation of Hot Gongji and others, but when they walked out of the Great Earthquake Pass less than halfway through, the scene in front of them made them have to slow down again, or rather, the Guanlong Road, which should have been spacious and flat, was so stubbornly covered up in front of the corpse mountain.
The pile of corpses more than one person high lay in front of the hot Gongji, completely blocking their route, and at the top of the corpse mountain, there was also a very humiliating cloth stick: You come and beat me, hot old turtle .......
Move these corpses out of the way, or you'll not be able to reach my .......
By the way, there's a surprise ahead, guess what? If you guess correctly, you won't win.
Friendly reminder: Be careful under your feet, the road is slippery, although it is not raining, but it is ...... blood.
"By the way, Hot Turtle, if you don't settle the corpses of these Xia soldiers, it will chill the soldiers behind you, and they will think that after they die in battle, you will treat them like this." After a Xia general angrily ripped off the strip of cloth, he saw another long strip of cloth falling from the top of the pile of corpses like a waterfall.
The bright red font, the schadenfreude, and the frivolous and shameless tone made the hot Gongji on horseback only feel that his eyes were dark, and his body shook and almost fell off the horse, thanks to the other generals next to him who quickly helped him.
It is precisely because of these corpses of the Xia people that the marching speed of Hot Gongji suddenly becomes extremely slow, and even in these corpse piles, Mo Xiaobao and them have set up various simple mechanisms, so when the Xia soldiers begin to move away from these corpses defenselessly after an order, they will always be stabbed by arrows and broken blades that suddenly emerge from the corpse pile, and then the whole road will sound a scream that will wake up Hot Gongji, and then look at the Xia soldiers standing in the corpse pile, and raise his hand angrily, The original five fingers were missing one in an instant, and the blood at the severed finger instantly stained his entire palm.
"Ye Qing, the old man is not finished with you!" Hot Gongji roared angrily, and once again fainted on the horse's back.
Starting from the Great Earthquake Pass, the marching speed of Hot Gongji can be called a turtle speed, and on the way to Anrong Pass, including in Anrong Pass, the hot Gongji and other generals who woke up already have a feeling of walking through the underworld.
When we can finally set off from Anrong Pass, which is full of corpses, the sun has begun to set westward, plus the way to move the corpses, place the corpses, and be careful to guard against the treacherous Song people, those indiscriminate, despicable and shameless ambush traps, so when they arrived at the empty Fu Khan Ping, the morale of the entire army was low as if all the relatives at home had died, one was depressed, gritted teeth, but there was nothing to do!
They had not yet met the enemy, but the morale of the army was as if they had just lost a battle, especially the corpses of 25,000 men, which dealt a devastating blow to this large army that was completely unpredictable.
From the beginning, they were still able to hate the Song people with the same hatred, and they shouted violently to avenge their dead companions, but as more and more corpses were moved, the Song people designed the three indiscriminate ambush traps, which were touched one by one, so that the hot army of Gongji has always been in a state of extreme anger, but can not vent the grievances, and finally this resentful emotion, as time goes by, and can not instantly face the enemy's powerlessness, so that the morale of the army is more and more depressed.
So the hot Gongji, who had been frightened and angry for a day, had to stop at Fu Hanping to rest the army, and at the same time, in order to avoid this kind of extremely embarrassing and aggrieved thing from happening again tomorrow, he also had to send a large number of scouts to the front to investigate the road ahead, and whether there were still those ambush traps of the Song people.
Although the begging stone martyrs guessed Ye Qing's plan sensitively and accurately, he also saw from it that this was a conflict between the Song people and the Xia people, and he should be on the side that reaped the benefits.
Therefore, although he also set off for Red Deer early in the morning, the mountain road leading to Red Deer Pass was extremely narrow and difficult to walk, and there were many stone steps, plus he didn't want to rush to Red Deer Pass to help the Xia people in the first time, and he wanted to reap the benefits, so the beggar Shilie gods and slaves chose to camp in a mountain recess after spending a day and half the way, and planned to rush to Red Deer Pass early tomorrow morning.
The battle of Baiqibao was going on from the unitary time to the beginning of the time, and after half an hour of fighting, the two sides naturally suffered casualties to each other, but fortunately, Mo Xiaobao's side did not choose to take the initiative to attack, but relied on the broken Baiqibao to take the initiative to defend, and from time to time he would send cavalry to attack the two wings of the Xia people, so after half an hour of fighting, after leaving a lot of corpses, the war ended hastily.
Ye Qing gave an order, but he didn't leave Mo Xiaobao time to find the corpse of his own people, so he immediately asked him to lead his men to retreat, and the bell silkworm began to be on guard, and when the two groups of people had just finished changing guards within a mile of land, the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the distance.
Mo Xiaobao, whose face was covered with blood stains, but whose spirit was quite good, opened his eyes wide at this time, looked at Ye Qing with a resolute face, and sighed: "It's so dangerous, if it's a little later, wouldn't it be just when I was changing guards, and I was caught off guard?" ”
"There will always be a moment to stop, let them continue to attack." Ye Qing continued to concentrate on the hare on the bonfire, and said coldly.
From the moment the two armies clashed, he began to roast hares on the bonfire, never glancing in the direction of the battle, but listening with his ears to the shouts of killing from the front of the two armies in the night.
"Where's Jia She?" Mo Xiaobao only found out at this time that Jia Shi was not by Ye Qing's side, at this time, Jia She, the personal guard, should not leave Ye Qing an inch.
"A war is a war, but you also have to guard against the Xia people's voices, and Jia Shi went to explore the pass." The bonfire illuminated Ye Qing's cheeks red, but from that expression, there was no trace of the easy-going appearance of the past.
From time to time, there was the sound of the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army moaning in pain, and from time to time they could also be heard, and the painful sound that pierced the night sky, mixed with the sound of iron hooves in front of him, rushed to Ye Qing's ears.
There are no immortals or injuries in the battle, and after a battle that lasted only half an hour, among the two thousand people under Mo Xiaobao's command, there were also a lot of wounded soldiers, whether they were seriously injured or lightly injured, they could only use a short time to bandage their wounds at this moment, and then as long as they could still move, then they would inevitably continue to rush forward in the next wave of war.
As for whether such a war will stop and when it will stop, until there is movement on the side of Maluguan, everyone up and down Baiqibao is now at a loss.
Mo Xiaobao listened to Jia Shi take advantage of the night to explore the pass, and sighed silently in his heart, the number of the flower planting army is still too small, if the flower planting army can reach 10,000 people, then to deal with the war in the past few days, it will be much calmer, not as if it is so overstretched now, there is no room for flexibility at all.
"My lord, there is ...... Is it possible that we will take the initiative to tackle the problem? Mo Xiaobao was a little whimsical, or he was mentally prepared to die in battle.
"No way, we don't have any advantage. Whether it is to win more with less, or to be outnumbered, any strategy actually needs to be built on a certain strength basis, and now our strength has been thoroughly touched by others, and then if you want to win by surprise, we do not have such strength in our hands. And the red deer pass will also take precautions, and now we are passive ....... Ye Qing paused, and then unconsciously glanced ahead, at this time, the Zhong silkworm had already fought with the second wave of Xia people, and the shouting and killing sound was unabated compared to the first wave.
"So Jia She's not so much a visit to the customs as a ......." Mo Xiaobao cried and laughed, and then said helplessly: "With two hundred people to guard against the possible sneak attack of the Xia people, my lord ......." ”
"This is also something that can't be helped, there are only so many people who can be used in your hands now, a radish and a pit, you and Zhong Silkworm are the main force, you can't move, once a few hundred people are transferred from each of you, it will give Xia people a greater chance to break our Gaoling, then everyone will have to finish tonight." So, there is no way, in order to prevent Ma Luguan from using this group of people to attract our attention, and then secretly send another wave of people to sneak attack us, the only people who can be used now are Jia She's two hundred people. Ye Qing took the field knife, stabbed the hare on the bonfire, and said with a smile showing a row of white teeth.
"But the safety of the adults ...... Their purpose is you, after all, and you have no one around you ...... now. Mo Xiaobao said with a complicated expression.
"I'm fine, I don't have to go into battle in person now, it's good to hide here and roast a hare, with you and Zhong Silkworm in front of me, and Jia Shi on my side, it's safe." Ye Qing quickly cut off a piece of rabbit meat: "Taste it, if it's cooked, I'll eat it again." ”
"I didn't put any salt." Mo Xiaobao chewed some hot rabbit meat and asked with a frown.
"Oh, forgot. Who's that...... And salt? Ye Qing turned his head and shouted at the soldier who was bandaging his wounds over there.
Mo Xiaobao looked at Ye Qing's side face while chewing rabbit meat, how could he not know at this moment that Lord Ye, who seemed to be leisurely and relaxed at this time, was actually completely absent-minded, and seemed to be concentrating on roasting rabbit meat, but if he was concentrating, how could he give up putting salt?
"My lord, has there been a change?" Mo Xiaobao didn't know whether he was biting rabbit meat or lips at this time, but he felt a slight fishy smell in his mouth.
Raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then looked at the night sky that was already full of shining stars, and the dark night sky was shining with stars, with an indescribable charm and mystery: "It's close to the end of the day now, if the Red Deer Pass has not moved, or if the Xia people can continue to put pressure on us, it means that Yu Yunwen's army has not yet appeared under the Red Deer Pass." ”
"What does that mean?" Mo Xiaobao lowered his head, and the firelight instantly burned his eyebrows.
"Meaning...... We'll have to keep waiting until Yu Yunwen arrives, or ...... We all died in battle. The corner of Ye Qing's mouth showed his trademark easy-going smile, and he patted Mo Xiaobao's shoulder: "A good man doesn't flick when he has tears, everything will start to usher in a turning point after the worst result comes." ”
"Don't worry, the last general will definitely protect your ......."
"Do your job well, my safety will naturally be up to me, and it won't be up to the Xia people." The rabbit leg sprinkled with salt was stuffed into Mo Xiaobao's mouth by him, otherwise, he was really afraid that Mo Xiaobao would cry.
