Chapter 16: The Wind and Snow
First of all, the envoy was called to rush back to the camel stream to inform Cheng Jingjun, and the Xuzhou army only needed to retreat, and there was no need to worry about it.
He also selected 6,000 elite soldiers in the army, divided into 3,000 as the vanguard, led by Pei Guo and Yang Zhong; Chen Qingzhi took the fierce generals Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianshu, and personally introduced the remaining 3,000 soldiers as backup. Make the day sleep, eat a full meal of hot soup and hot cakes at dusk, and only bring a little dry food and a single knife, and travel lightly.
Six thousand soldiers came out of the camp, but when they saw the wind and snow in the sky, the people were crying and freezing, and they were all drowsy at night, and the road was difficult to distinguish, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all thought: How could they march at this time? Where to go? What to do?
The order has been given, but it is vague, only saying that it is rushing to the southwest, and the rest is unknown. A pawn asked the general who had a better relationship, and the general spread his hand: "I don't know." "It's not that the generals refused to say it clearly, but in fact, except for Chen Qingzhi, Pei Guo, Yang Zhong, Song Jingxiu, Yu Tianshu, etc., there were only a few people in the army, and the rest didn't know the purpose of this trip at all, so they went on the road in a daze.
Some people speculated: "Southwest... Isn't it going to turn back to Shouyang? ”
As soon as these words came out, many people applauded--- if they had to go back to Shouyang, it would naturally be ten times better than staying in Longkang and being frozen.
The clear-eyed man laughed: "If it is really Shouyang, why don't you go with the whole army?" If it is said that because of the lack of food and grass, the troops had to be divided, then the old, weak, and disabled should also be picked to retreat to Shouyang to eat, how to send this strong brother out at once? ”
As soon as these words came out, several people were frightened on the spot, and they couldn't help but tremble: "Is it possible... Are you going to attack Suolu? ”
The clear-eyed man still shook his head: "Suo Lu is not a monster, how can he come out in this weather?" ”
"I can't get out... Isn't it ... Don't you want me to wait and attack the city of Sothriel? ”
"That won't be. Look at you, you only have a single knife all over your body, can you still cut a hole in the fortress wall? Hahahaha. ”
"Hehe, too."
There were many speculations, but after all, they couldn't think of a reason, so everyone had no choice but to bury their heads and hurry.
It's cold, and it's freezing. After walking for more than an hour, everyone was cold and hungry, and they were already crying bitterly. I don't want the order to come again, but I want the whole army to speed up and double the speed.
There is no shortage of people who complain, but after a few words, they have already interrupted their companions: "The military order is like a mountain, you chew your tongue less, and be careful that you lose your life in vain." Besides, Chen Dudu is also in the army, he is a delicate scribe and the chief general of the first army, and he is willing to go on this trip in person. A pickled man like you, who boasts that he can compare to a cow on weekdays, is just braving some wind and snow at this time, why do you talk so much nonsense? ”
After another hour, the order came, ordering everyone to rest on the spot and eat dry food. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, squatted on the ground, and formed a small circle in the wind and snow, so that they could feel warmer.
After a while, Chen Qingzhi strode over, followed by Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianshu with fierce faces.
Chen Qingyi waved his hand, and Song Jingxiu raised his breath and shouted: "The army listens to the order, immediately turn to the northwest and march at full speed!" ”
"Turning northwest?" The wind and snow couldn't cover the noise: "Isn't that the direction of the vortex sun?" ”
Yu Tian's leopard eyes glared: "Capture the vortex sun, it will be tonight!" ”
For example, when five thunderbolts hit the top, everyone was stunned on the spot, and they couldn't believe their ears.
The wind and snow continued, but the air seemed to freeze. After that, there was gradually a strange atmosphere spreading, and everyone's hearts were pounding: I should... Go?
At that time, Chen Qingzhi raised his scepter and came out, and his voice was not small: "If you win tonight, the overall situation of the battle of Vortex Yang can be determined, and all the gentlemen can make meritorious contributions, and they can return early and reunite with their families." If there is no such heart to die, the battle of the vortex sun is delayed, do you think that life will be better? I'm afraid that the longer it drags on, the greater the loss! ”
There was a buzz below, and everyone's faces were frightened, disappointed, and eager... All kinds of looks, and so on.
"Don't be suspicious! Such a snowstorm, such a cold night, only my Liang warriors dare to send troops. How can it be compared? He was not prepared for anything, but when he entered the city of Vortex Sun, it was as easy as a snap! ”
Although the buzz below is a little smaller, there are still many people who are talking to each other.
"The Scepter is here! There are those who do not obey orders, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”
Before the words fell, Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianshu took the steel knife out of the sheath, glanced at it with a cold face, and glanced at everyone.
The buzz finally crushed.
。。。。。。
Pei Guo pulled out the long knife from the enemy's chest, turned around, and kicked the spontaneously burning torch off the beacon with a flying kick, only then did he let out a long breath, and when he touched his forehead, he was actually full of cold sweat.
From Longkang Fort to Wuyang, there is no large fort within 70 miles, but there are many beacons used for ignition warnings. But if any beacon lights up, the next beacon ten miles away will be able to detect it, and if it continues like this, Vortex Yang City will be warned, and the Liang army will have no chance of winning this trip.
Pei Guo and Yang Zhong are both forwards, and it is their duty to uproot Fengsui. The first few beacons were simple, including Pei Guo, the best soldiers in the Liang army sneaked under the beacons, climbed up with flying hooks, and killed the defenders.
Xu is it was too easy to get a handle in front of him, and Pei Guo didn't feel a little careless. Touching this beacon, Pei Guo was careless during the climbing, and the sound became louder, which woke up the Wei guards. At that time, several people rushed out, and some people raised their knives to chop, wanting to cut off Pei Guo's flying cable.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, first under the beacon, Yang Zhong coldly released an arrow, and the brigadier general shot the Wei soldier who raised his sword. On this side, Pei Guo pulled the zipline violently, his waist and abdomen were forced, and the swing was like, and even the person with the rope swung a huge arc on the beacon wall.
Pei Guo held a knife in one hand and pulled a rope in the other, and walked sharply along the swinging half-arc feet, rubbing and rubbing, and ran to the top of the beacon in one go. When his hand was loosened, he shouted, and the whole person rolled sideways over the wall and rolled in.
Two Wei troops besieged it. Pei Guo's face was downward, and he didn't need to look at it, he stabbed two backhands, faster than lightning, and the two Wei pawns screamed and fell.
Taking advantage of this gap, Pei Guo supported the ground with his left hand, only one support, turned over lightly and skillfully, and then a carp stood firmly on the top of the beacon.
How many guards can you accommodate? Since Pei Guo had already climbed in, he was on a killing spree, and he would kill the guards in a moment.
When the last guard was stabbed to death, Pei Guo was shocked--- it turned out that the opponent had already lit a torch. The snow was too thick, and the guards carelessly did not remove the snow, so they failed to light the beacon for half a day.
"Fluke!" Pei Guo was also shocked: "From now on, you must be careful." ”
It is said that Chen Qing's army suddenly heard the purpose of this trip, and was in an uproar, in fact, the same is true of the forward led by Pei Guo, which is nothing more than a coercion and temptation. Fortunately, Pei Guo and Yang Zhong are both real prestige, after all, they can suppress everyone, and the two of them take the lead, every time they must climb first, and they have pulled out several beacons without any mistakes, so that the military heart is more stable than Chen Qingzhi's.
Pack up now and continue westward.
