Chapter 5: The Fog

Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, re-raised his sword soldiers and attacked Wuyang in the north, and the reason for this was quite related to Chen Qingzhi.

During the trip to Jiankang at the beginning of the year, because Pei Guo and Yang Zhong refused to be tigers, Xiao Yan was annoyed, and Chen Qingzhi racked his brains to make up for it. In addition, he also had the intention to earn more military merits and go further, so he started the idea of another northern expedition.

Because of Shouyang's merits, Chen Qingzhi transferred to the general of Donggong Zhige and stayed in Jiankang to listen to it. Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, recalled the past, and often summoned him to the palace to talk. Taking advantage of the opportunity to play chess, Chen Qingzhi always made suggestions, or said that Xiao Yan was benevolent, and the world was united; He also said that the Wei State was in turmoil, and the Northern Expedition was at the right time, and he Chen Qingzhi was willing to drive Yunyun.

After several times, Xiao Yanwei's heart was moved, and he heard that Wei was in chaos in all directions, and felt that it was indeed a good time to open Chrysostom, and edicted Chen Qingzhi to take the holiday festival, grant the governor of the Northern Expedition, and Xuzhou assassinated Shi Cheng Jingjun's department, and the coalition army attacked Wuyang, an important town in the north of Huaibei of Wei.

Cheng Jingjun was close, from east to west, and hit near Vortex Yang first. Wang Wei, the lord of Voryang City, did not dare to engage in the battle, insisted on not being able to hold out, and even complained to Luoyang again and again, which attracted the Yuanyuan army to the south.

Chen Qingzhi sent troops from Jiankang to Shouyang, and Xiahou Yan, the assassin of Yuzhou in the south of Yuzhou, had already prepared grain and grass.

Chen Qingzhi was overjoyed and thanked him. At that moment, the army went north, crossed the Huaishui, and reached the territory of Wuyang.

。。。。。。

This is a day in October of the first year of Liang Datong (the third year of Wei Xiaochang), the weather is gloomy, the fog is full of fog, and there is no visible object ten zhang away.

On the north bank of Huaishui, people shouted and neighed, and a team was gathering. The men had apparently just crossed the river from the south bank, and the ferryboat was still there, and the boatmen were paddling their oars and pulling fibers, waiting to return south.

Several general flags were raised in the fog, and the words "Chongguan General Pei" and "Eagle Cavalry General Yang" could be vaguely seen above, which turned out to be Pei Guo and Yang Zhong leading an army here.

Speaking of the trip to Jiankang, Pei Guo and Yang Zhong were disappointed, and after returning to Yuzhou, they couldn't help but be depressed. In addition, his uncle Pei Di passed away, and Chen Qingzhi also stayed in Jiankang, Pei Yang and the two felt cold for a while, and their mood became worse, and sometimes they discussed privately: It is better to find an opportunity to leave Liang and return to the north to join Adou Ni.

From an outsider's point of view, the spirit of the two of them is much worse than before.

After a long time, there will be whispers in the army. Xiahou Kang looked at Pei Di and Chen Qing, and didn't say anything in his mouth, but he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

It happened that Chen Qingzhi went north to Wuyang, and there were few cavalry in Jiangdong under his command, and there was even more shortage of cavalry generals.

Xiahou Kangzheng didn't know how to settle Pei Yang and the two, and when he saw Chen Qingzhi's letter, he couldn't help but be happy. With a stroke of the pen, he not only ordered Pei Guo and Yang Zhong to lead 400 cavalry troops to cross the river to help, but also wrote to Jiankang and directly transferred Pei Yang and the two to Chen Qingzhi's command, and since then they have been separated from the Yuzhou army.

Chen Qingzhi was naturally happy, and Pei Yang and the others also felt closer to Chen Qingzhi, so they happily accepted the order and left. In this way, everyone is happy.

The 400 cavalry set out from Shouyang yesterday, and this morning the Yuzhou army arranged boats to cross the Huai River and arrive at the north bank. Pei Guo and Yang Zhong gathered their troops and horses, lined up a simple queue, and set off, this is to go north, looking for Chen Qingzhi's main force to meet.

The fog was really thick, and even if the sentry cavalry was sent out at this moment, I was afraid that the situation ahead would not be clear, so Pei Guo ordered: The whole army galloped slowly, and went north carefully.

It didn't take more than a few miles to gallop out, and suddenly, a thick fog broke through a corner, and a black shadow suddenly broke out!

Everyone was startled, and before they could react, they saw the fog moving in front of them, and several black shadows burst out.

Yang Zhongzheng was walking at the front of the team, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but gasp: "It's Wei Jun!" ”

The black shadow is near, and then the fog is hazy, and it can be seen that the armor of the comer is distinct, and it is undoubtedly the knight of the Wei army!

When the two looked at each other, Liang Jun was certainly surprised, and Wei Jun was even more shocked, obviously he never thought that he would encounter an opponent here.

When it was, Yang Zhong was the first to react and shouted: "Kill!" As soon as he slapped the horse, he rushed out first, and the horse lance stabbed to death the Wei knight who rushed to the forefront.

As soon as Yang Zhong came out, the knights of the Liang army followed one after another, and the spears pierced endlessly. The Wei knights who appeared were caught off guard and fell off their horses one after another.

It was an encounter that neither side expected, and when the fog covered the sky and the sun, they couldn't distinguish the reality of the other party, so they had to rush forward. For a while, the sound of shouting and killing, the neighing of horses, and the sound of blades colliding were heard everywhere, but the clouds and fog barriers in the field of vision were indistinguishable, and it was simply not like the mortal world.

Yang Zhong was brave and led the Liang army to take the lead and advance step by step. But the Wei army armor continued to pour out of the dense fog, poking down one and jumping out of a pair, cutting over one and then two horses, as if endless. At the moment of the battle, Yang Zhong was also frightened, and gradually he could not advance anymore, and he was deadlocked.

Pei Guo sat in the Chinese army, although he heard the sound of killing in his ears, when he raised his eyes, it was just rolling clouds, where could he see anything?

Then a flying horse came to report, describing the battle situation ahead.

Pei Guo's expression was grim and asked, "Do you know the reality of the Wei army?" ”

"The fog is too big to tell!"

"How's the battle going?"

"General Yang led the front army of 100 cavalry to fight bravely, advancing 40 zhang, but was blocked by the Wei army, and could not re-enter, and the battle was fierce at this moment!"

Pei Guo thought to himself: Brother Zhong advanced forty zhang first, it can be seen that our army has seized the opportunity, and the Wei people have been attacked head-on, and they will not be able to distinguish between the truth and the truth of our army; With the bravery of Brother Zhong'er, he still can't advance again, presumably because the number of Wei troops is far above our army, and they are coming in a steady stream...

Our army is only 400 horsemen, if the Wei people are taught to explore the truth, I am afraid that there is no place to bury them. For today's plan, only by desperately resisting and not retreating can we deter the Wei people and make them retreat.

As soon as he thought of this, Pei Guo ordered loudly: "The Chinese army will send fifty cavalry to reinforce the front army, and the rest shall not attack without my order, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"No!"

"You go quickly, and tell General Yang that you can't retreat."

"No!"

。。。。。。

The sound of fighting is endless, and the sound of miserable howls is even more one after another, and it is not surprising that the battle situation ahead is extremely tragic.

Soon the flying cavalry arrived, and the knight immediately panted: "The number of Wei troops is too much, and one after another, General Yang has lost a lot of people, I'm afraid I can't withstand it!" ”

Pei Guo's face was expressionless: "The Chinese army will divide another fifty cavalry to reinforce." You told General Yang that this victory or defeat is all on him! ”

The knight sighed, turned his horse's head, and hurried away.

。。。。。。

Half an hour later, the Flying Rider returned. This time he saw blood stains on his face, and there was a feather arrow obliquely inserted in his shoulder socket, as soon as he saw Pei Guo, he rolled off the horse at that time, and cried: "General Yang's mount was stabbed by the Wei people, and he accidentally rolled off the horse, but fortunately the brothers were desperately rescued." Most of our army is damaged, really... It's really unbearable! ”

The soldiers of the Liang Army on the side looked at each other, revealing a look of horror. Then there was a humane: "General Pei, the Wei army is obviously outnumbered, and our army only has this little number of men and horses, and then it is a battle to the death, what can it do?" It's better to take advantage of this fog and retreat quickly. ”

Pei Guo suddenly changed color, tore off the hood on his head, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Huaishui is not far behind you, but where can you retreat?" Today's battle, only dead ears! If you dare to talk nonsense again, those who break the heart of our army will be killed! ”

"The remaining 100 cavalry of the Chinese army are all going to reinforcements, and the 100 cavalry of the rear army are moving forward to the position of the Chinese army." After saying this, Pei Guo turned his head and shouted at the flying horse: "It's better for you to go, only say four words to General Yang, and fight to the death!" ”

Pei Guo's tone was unquestionable, and the flying horse stomped heavily, jumped on the horse, and flew away.
