487, Five Days of Life and Death (6)
That's right, the smoke rising from that cluster was the result of the burning of the officers and soldiers' food and grass!
It turned out that after Hua Rong led the horses to finally rush to the grain cart, he quickly solved the forty or so officers and soldiers who stayed to resist after just a few rounds of killing, and then without Hua Rong's order, I saw that he and each rider immediately touched the back of the saddle, and found a few water bladders full of water, and then saw that they immediately pulled out the water bladder plug and began to pour the liquid inside to all the grain carts, and after pouring the "water" inside, I saw them take out the fire fold and light it and just throw it on the grain cart. All the grain trucks burned violently in an instant,
It turned out that what they had just poured out of the water bladder was fire oil.
The whole car of grain, grass and wooden carts itself is flammable, and it has to be aided by the fire oil, and most of the grain carts suddenly became a big fireball, tumbling thick black smoke!
Hua Rong and the others had just lit the grain cart not long ago, only to hear a chaotic sound coming from the east, everyone looked up, and then saw that more than 100 cavalry officers and soldiers were rushing desperately from the east, and it was Yao Qidian who rushed over.
Yao Qigong saw that most of the grain trucks had fallen into the sea of fire, and his heart suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, and he almost fell off his horse in pain, it was over, this time it was really over, his task this time was obviously to burn the grain and grass of the thieves, but the grain and grass of the thieves had not been seen yet, and his own grain and grass were burned first, and the grain and grass were the life of the army. Roots, no matter how powerful the army is, it can't do without grain and grass, so the army's morale will be in chaos!
In an instant, countless terrible consequences flashed through Yao Qigong's mind, not to mention that he would be severely punished as the main general in the future, his own prestige, his own future, and everything he had...... Maybe it will all be ruined this time, and the grain and grass will be burned!
Yao Qigong then saw more than 300 figures who were still setting fire to the grain, and incomparable anger instantly filled his chest, it was all these thieves, they did it! I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them......!
Yao Qigong was directly carried away by anger, and forgot that there were only more than 100 horsemen by his side at the moment, and the number was more than half of the other party, he just shouted like crazy and rushed forward with a gun, and seeing that the main general was rushing forward, the more than 100 horsemen and generals had to follow behind and rush over,
Here, Hua Rong's plan was to leave after burning the grain and grass, but when he saw that the other party only rushed to more than 100 riders, he couldn't help but move in his heart. Then he rode for the lead, holding a spear and taking the lead in killing the officers and soldiers, and more than 300 horsemen also raised their weapons and followed to kill!
At the same time, seeing that the gate of Yanggu County was wide open, the soldiers of the Yanggu Army shouted "The enemy's grain and grass have been burned, and our reinforcements have arrived!" The slogan rushed out like a tide and rushed to the officers and soldiers who were already in a group of dragons without a leader and at a loss for what to do......!

Meanwhile......
"Wanchun, how far is this place from Yanggu?" Zheng Fei asked Pang Wanchun, who was riding beside him,
"This place already belongs to Yanggu County, and there should be ten miles to the city." Pang Wanchun replied with a little estimate,
Zheng Fei nodded, "The herald army has to speed up, Yanggu County is at the forefront of facing the Daimyo's Mansion, I am afraid that at this time, I am already fighting with the officers and soldiers." ”
Pang Wanchun answered and was about to give an order, but when he looked ahead, he was shocked, only to see that there was a horse rushing desperately from the main road in front, it was a scout of the Heavenly Dao Army who had been sent to explore the road in front of him.
Zheng Fei also saw that person at the same time, he and Pang Wanchun immediately looked at each other, and they were all shocked in their hearts, this scout came in such a hurry, could it be that he found out what was going on in front of him?
Sure enough, the scout rode directly to Zheng Fei and Pang Wanchun, and then suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the mount and reported, "Report! At the foot of the five-mile mountain ahead, there are hundreds of officers and men of our army who are fighting fiercely with thousands of officers and soldiers! Judging from the battle flag, the officers and men of our department should belong to the Yanggu Army. ”
The battle has really started, and it is actually five miles ahead, what about Yanggu County, ten miles away? Has it been breached or is it surrounded? Zheng Fei's heart sank, and he didn't have time to think about it and immediately ordered, "Pass on my military order, the cavalry brigade is advancing at full speed, and the infantry brigade is marching in a hurry!" ”
Then, with Pang Wanchun's order, more than 2,000 cavalry of the Independent Brigade immediately began to rush to the front battle under the guidance of the scout, and the two infantry brigades also scattered the girl's desperate pursuit.
When the cavalry brigade rode their horses and galloped five miles, they saw a mountain range in front of them, and there was a scuffle in the open space below the mountain, and the number of officers and soldiers was obviously much more than that of the Heavenly Dao Army.
Zheng Fei had now completely forgotten Wu Yong's instructions, and he pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Kill with me!" He took the lead in rushing over, Hu Sanniang did not let Xu Mei, and also rushed out on a horse, and killed the enemy with his husband, and the cavalry brigade was ordered to pull out their weapons and follow.
Pang Wanchun immediately remembered Wu Yong's words, seeing that Zheng Fei had already rushed out, he couldn't stop him if he wanted to, and then he also pulled out his waist knife and shouted at himself and Zheng Fei's dozens of personal guards while chasing Zheng Fei and Hu Sanniang, "Catch up with the commander, don't leave him half a step!" ”
Li Sigen and the others hurriedly drove the mount desperately, and finally crossed Zheng Fei and protected him and Hu Sanniang in the middle.
More than 2,000 horsemen trampled on the land together should be so shocking, even the earth began to tremble slightly, this movement was naturally discovered by the Yanggu army and officers who were fighting under the mountain, they were shocked and stopped fighting and looked into the distance, when they found that there were countless cavalry killing in a flood of mountains, everyone's hearts flashed a thought at the same time: Who is coming? Is it your own people or your enemies?!
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Yanggu Army first recognized that the comer was their own people from the battle flag and military uniform, and they fought against two thousand officers and soldiers with only 500 people, although the number was a few times that of the other party, but they relied on stronger individual and team combat effectiveness to tie with these two thousand officers and soldiers, but as time went by, the disadvantage of a small number of people began to inevitably be revealed, and the officers and soldiers gradually began to consciously divide their own people to defeat them one by one, but everyone was not afraid, Everyone was ready to sacrifice before the departure of this battle, but just when everyone was about to die with these two thousand officers and soldiers according to the original plan, they killed one of their own cavalry from the edge of the sky!
And the officers and soldiers listened to the excited cheers of the enemy, and finally recognized that the comer was also the enemy, and almost in an instant fear was written on the faces of each of them, and it was difficult for their two thousand people to help the enemy with only a few hundred, and now that the enemy has such a cavalry, how should they deal with it?!
These officers and soldiers are the 2,000 people led by Xue Shuo, and at this moment he is also bloodless and pale, because this is flat land, his own people are almost all infantry, and the other party is cavalry, if there is no defense and protection measures on the flat land, the infantry can only be slaughtered by the cavalry!
However, he reacted quite quickly, and he immediately gave an order, "Go up the mountain, go up the mountain quickly!" "Fortunately, next to it is a small hill called Jingyanggang, the terrain is steep, the mountain road is rugged, the cavalry can't go up the mountain, and only when they go up the mountain can they survive!
Although the officers and soldiers all heard his orders, the officers and soldiers of the Yanggu Army were not deaf and naturally heard his words, and everyone understood what the purpose of the officer who commanded these officers and soldiers was.
Want to go up the mountain? No way!
"Stop them! They must not be allowed to go up the mountain! ”
In an instant, the more than 400 Yanggu troops who could still fight immediately returned to killing the officers and soldiers, forming a defensive line in front of the mountain to prevent the officers and soldiers from crossing the defense line and going up the mountain.
The officers and soldiers were in a great confusion, and the cavalry brigade finally rushed to the front, wielding their swords and killing the enemy, only to see blood splashing everywhere, stumps flying around, wailing constantly, and a killing was staged!
Xue Shuo's heart was like ashes when he saw this scene, and his face was full of desperate ......!
