127:Crossing the River (2)
Shouzhou, Jieshuaifu.
"Report ......"
A signal soldier rushed in, "Commander, there is wolf smoke in Zhengyang Pass." ”
"What?"
Liu Renzhen, who was tidying up and preparing to set off to patrol the camp, only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and he threw his sword on the table with a "horn", "This must be a sneak attack by the Zhou army, and someone is coming-drumming and gathering generals." ”
"Knock knock...... Knock ......"
The cowhide drum sounded like a sound, and after a while, the nails and leaves were sonorous, the footsteps were hurried, and the generals and schools gathered in the White Tiger Festival Hall.
"See the marshal."
"Zhengyang Pass was attacked, the rescue soldiers are like fighting a fire, where is Zhong Hong."
"The end will be."
"With you leading the people of the headquarters as the vanguard, set off immediately to rescue Zhengyang Pass."
"No."
Liu Renzhen held another arrow, "Where is Qi Yijiang?"
"The end will be."
"Your troops are the second echelon, keep a distance of three miles from Zhong Hong's department, and if you encounter the enemy, you will come to the rescue, and you will go straight without being invincible, and you will go in echelons."
"No."
"Herald."
"Yes."
"The flying cavalry gave an order, ordering each village to clear the walls and clear the wilderness, and the whole army to resist the enemy."
"No."
After three orders, Liu Renzhen turned around and said to Zhou Ting, who was appointed as the supervising army envoy before leaving: "In Shouzhou City, the city defense is handed over to the supervising army, and I will go to Zhengyang with the army." ”
Wu Yanshao, the former superintendent, was promoted for "merit" in only three months, and Zhou Tinggou came to Shouzhou for less than a month. The marshal is the commander of the three armies, how can he easily go out of the battle, now he only sees the smoke rising, I don't know what the enemy army is doing, the marshal should not hurry, in another hour, the scout flying cavalry will arrive, and it is not too late to make a decision at that time. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, then Li Gu is preparing for the war in Huaibei for March, this time to send troops, it must be inevitable, if I don't go, I'm afraid Zhengyang will lose."
Zhou Tinggou said: "But the safety of Shouzhou City is more important, how can a certain person who knows soldiers be able to take on this great task?" ”
A general said: "Don't worry, the commander of the week, only a small number of soldiers and horses are smuggled in that week, and it will not be a big deal."
If Zhou Bing wants to cross the river in a big way, he has to build a pontoon bridge, but now the Huai River is still urgent, and the pontoon bridge is difficult to complete. Thinking that the other party will not spend a lot of money, he will take the risk of attacking, and the second general Zhong Qi will send troops to rescue, which is enough. ”
Liu Renzhen sighed, "I hope so, the cities will start to prepare for war, according to the original plan, recruit more people, and not relax." ”
"No."
The wolf smoke rises, and the northwest looks.
Jia Yin sat on the wall, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and said while eating: "The wolf smoke has risen, it seems that Chen Tou and they have rushed over." ”
Hua Lance was also eating, and said with a smile: "Qin Jiu has already analyzed that Zhengyang Pass only dares to send out one battalion of men and horses, so we don't have to worry about them on their side, more than two hundred crossbows and javelins, which can be attacked by these state soldiers and county soldiers."
What I really have to worry about is the reinforcements from Shouzhou City, but from Shouzhou to here, it will take two hours at the earliest, so let's eat with peace of mind, and you can squint for a while after eating. ”
Jia Yin tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks and said with a smile: "This white rice porridge with gnocchi is added, it is the first time I have eaten it, I didn't expect it to be delicious, this pickle is also good." ”
"The cook who serves the landlord's old wealth cooks, can it be delicious?"
"By the way, we can't take those copper coins away, why don't you send them down, and let them be placed on the big ping, don't you know how eye-catching that basket is?"
Jia Yin said with a smile: "It's what makes them red-eyed, then there are nearly 3,000 stone grains in the Li family's warehouse, wait for them to help transport the grain, a bag of ten cents, it is estimated that the people in the village will be desperate."
If the enemy besieges the fort, tell them that as long as the fort is held for a day, the money will be theirs, and we will have about three or five hundred more defenders. ”
Hua Gun smiled, "Follow Qin Duyu Hou, you have also learned badly, your master can say that you are an honest man." ”
Jia Yin smiled, but stopped talking and began to eat heavily.
After eating, Jia Yin really slept for a while. In these aspects, he has always admired Qin Yue's methods, saying that the more nervous he is, the more mistakes will be made, and if he wants to maintain enough sharpness at critical times, he can't always tighten that string.
It seemed that after squinting for a while, he was woken up, Jia Yin opened his eyes, and only heard Qi Sanduo say: "The flag whistle on the tree sent a message, Shouzhou reinforcements are coming, five hundred people, and three miles away." ”
Jia Yin rubbed his cheeks, got up and said excitedly: "Let the brothers prepare, gather on the big flat first, and don't show your head first." ”
"No."
Flower Spear came over and asked, "How do you fight?" ”
"Look at their situation, when they come to Lijiabao, they will serve with a crossbow, and when they go to Zhengyang Pass, let them pass, and we will then tail attack."
"Okay."
Jia Yin boarded the sentry tower and looked far away, but after a cup of tea, he saw the military flag fluttering in the wind on the official road, and gradually the rumbling footsteps began to come from far and near.
As soon as Jia Yin saw the marching formation, he knew that they did not know that there were ambushes in Lijiabao.
He turned his head to look at the two Tang Army scouts who were tied to the tethered horse stones, and thought to himself that the main general in Shouzhou City had made a quick decision, the scouts had been kidnapped, and they could quickly dispatch troops even when their eyes were black.
He watched the Tang army rumble westward, estimating the distance, and the horses did not have a distance of three miles to warm up, which was not conducive to rushing and killing.
Qi Sanduo held the flag, stood behind the gate of the village, and kept shaking in circles, it seemed that he was not in a hurry.
Looking at Li Xing and them again, they also raised their heads one by one and waited for him to give an order, even the war horses kept digging iron hooves, rested for a long time, and fed the best concentrate, and now the horses are full of energy.
Jiayin was silent for hundreds more, and was about to jump off the sentry platform, but when he saw the secret sentry flag nested in the treetops waving, he couldn't help but be shocked, there are troops behind?
He made a gesture to continue waiting, and patiently looked to the east of the official road.
Sure enough, another battalion of the Tang Army was coming up.
Jiayin's white hair sweat was aroused, but fortunately he waited a little longer, otherwise he would have been flanked by the enemy.
Fortunately, the two battalions were infantry, and only a few generals had horses, and I didn't see much crossbows and bows.
This is a standing force of the state army.
After waiting for another incense injection time, the men and horses of this battalion also went far forward, and Jia Yin jumped off the sentry platform, whether there was a rear army or not, he couldn't wait, otherwise the pressure on Qin Yue's side would be too great.
Jia Yin jumped onto the big green horse, his sword held high, "Let's go." ”
The gate of the wall rumbled open, and the hundred horsemen were as sharp as tigers, rumbling towards the Tang army.
Two or three miles away is an instant for the cavalry, and the unsuspecting Tang army panicked for a while in the face of the fierce cavalry rushing from behind, and the formation became chaotic in an instant.
"Steady...... Steady...... Don't run away...... The more you run, the more you die...... Steady...... Spearman ...... in front of him"
Qi Yijiang roared hoarsely, waving the sword in his hand, and together with the guards, he suppressed the panicked soldiers.
"Hold ...... steady"
The sharp arrow shot out, and immediately brought a scream.
Immediately after that, more fierce and larger black dots roared and threw them into the formation, and suddenly blood splashed and wailed.
The Flying Tiger rode first with a round of crossbow arrows, then with a round of spear throwing, and finally with a hand-to-hand fight.
At this time, the formation of the Tang army had already been scattered, and in the face of the enemy cavalry rushing into the formation, how could they still have the courage to fight, and they were running away one by one.
Qi Yijiang was angry and anxious, and was about to roar and rush forward, but he was grabbed by the guards and shouted, "General, run......"
The spear that served as the arrow was like a poisonous snake, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Tang soldiers who stood in the way, but he turned a blind eye to the Tang generals who fled in panic, and led the iron cavalry to continue to rush forward.
Three miles ahead, there was still a battalion of Tang troops waiting for them to kill.
Jia Yin, who was in charge of the palace, saw Qi Yijiang riding his horse and tried to collect his sword and draw the bow, but he didn't expect that the black bone carved bow that had not made a profit since he bought it was popular in the first battle.
An arrow hits the enemy general's vest.
The general swayed and rode his horse for another six or seven kilometers, and finally fell to the ground.
