Chapter 20: The First Encounter with the Ice Goose
In the blink of an eye, the wax moon has passed, it is almost February, but the weather is still extremely cold, the wind is blowing, the military flag is fluttering in the wind, and the weather is not sunny for days, basically I have not seen the sun for a few days. My mood is also very solemn.
I haven't slept all night, now the form is very severe, the south, west and east are all Qin troops, the entire Central Plains Qin soldiers can reach one million, at present it is only the Xianyang crisis, Qin II transferred most of the troops from the Central Plains to resist Xiang Yu Liu Bang's army, there is no time to take care of me, otherwise I may have been destroyed, and it will not be my turn to be king.
Looking around, although most of the troops in the Central Plains have been transferred, the remaining troops can still reach hundreds of thousands, and there are countless generals, and my district Anyang is almost a drop in the bucket of the Central Plains, although there are 300,000 troops, but they are almost a rabble, and it is easy to be defeated when it comes to fighting. In my camp, there are only three generals: Zhao Meng, Li Pu, and Jiang Huan, and the siege weapons are only giant crossbows, water cannons, catapults, and ladders, and the number is very small.
Since Qin Shi Huang, many strong men have been captured to build the Great Wall, and their survival is extremely low, and at most one out of ten people will come back alive. After years of war, the Qin Dynasty vigorously recruited soldiers, and there were very few young men left. In the past ten years alone, the number of people in the Qin Dynasty has dropped by nearly five million.
Just as I was thinking deeply, suddenly a soldier rushed in in a panic: "Report...... Report...... Report to the general ...... "What is so tense. I said in surprise. Zhao Yi, the general of the Qin army, came with his troops, and he was less than 200 miles away from the city. The soldier said with a sigh of relief. What the! I slammed the table. How many people did you bring? Say it! I said with a frown. About 200,000 or so. The soldier hesitated. Go down. "My mood is even more solemn.
I immediately summoned the three generals, Zhao Meng, Li Pu, and Jiang Huan, and explained the situation to them clearly. Just as we were discussing countermeasures, we only heard someone in the city shouting: "Listen to the thieves in the city, immediately put down your arms and surrender, maybe the emperor will spare you from death, otherwise, you will be killed!" ”
"General, I'll take a look." Zhao Meng said, picked up the knife and rushed out of the door. I and two other generals rushed over.
Zhao Meng took a knife and went out of the city and came to the front of the city: "You are Zhao Yi's old man, why are you acting for the tiger, recognizing the thief as your father, and coming to encircle and suppress us, what if we don't surrender?" ”
"Hmph, don't kill me." Zhao Yi said coldly.
"General, let me take his head!" A partial general asked Ying to fight, "Okay, let's go!" Zhao Yi said.
A white horse galloped out, the bias will make a big knife, about seven feet long, a knife to Zhao Meng, Zhao Meng blocked, that will change the move to Zhao Meng's feet, Zhao Meng supported the horse with one hand, dodged the knife, the other hand held the Gudian knife to the general stabbed, the general has not dodged, has been stabbed, Zhao Meng flew up, and kicked him off the horse, the general struggled on the ground a few times, and then did not move.
"Good kung fu, hum, let me learn your tricks!" Zhao Yi's face was still cold, but his eyes were already full of murderous aura.
"Father, let the child go, how can such a person let the father go out." Suddenly, a young general beside Zhao Yi said, I can't help but feel strange, and take a closer look at the young general, the young general is wearing bright light armor, holding double swords, his face is very delicate, he has no beard at all, his eyes are black and white, he is bright, and he doesn't speak like a man, but his voice is crisp and very beautiful.
The young general rode a red horse, rode towards Zhao Meng, Zhao Meng slashed at him, he only used a sword to block this knife, and the other sword slashed at Zhao Meng's neck, Zhao Meng dodged, the helmet was knocked off, and suddenly, the Qin army laughed, and the soldiers of our army turned pale. Zhao Meng ate this humiliation, the knife technique was even more aggressive, the young general's face did not change, he dodged one by one, and fought back, only thirty rounds, Zhao Meng fell into the downwind, the armor was cut several times, the young general took a knife and did not get hit, not even a single hair was damaged. Suddenly, the young general flew up, and the two swords stabbed at Zhao Meng at the same time, and Zhao Meng blocked it with his knife, obviously unable to parry.
I secretly screamed badly, hurriedly rode out of the city, the young general kicked Zhao Meng in the lower abdomen, Zhao Meng fell from the horse, I just rushed forward to help him, Zhao Meng's face was pale, he was already seriously injured, but I knew that what was more serious than this was the pain in his heart.
"Lao Zhao, are you okay?" I asked eagerly, "General, I'm ashamed of you, I can't even deal with a junior general, I ...... I don't want to live anymore. Zhao Meng said, I wanted to wipe it off my neck, I hurriedly snatched his knife: "What are you doing, victory or defeat is a soldier's business, don't be rash." "I handed him over to the two generals, Li and Jiang, so that I could rest assured.
I picked up the gun, my face was darker, and I stepped on my horse, and at this time the sky fluttered with snowflakes at some point, and the earth instantly became white, so white, white without a single flaw, white heart-wrenching, maddening.
