Chapter 42: Frightened
The next day, Hou Jing had already hurriedly run out of the big tent, his eyes were swept away, and the whole child shrank back, with a depressed face: "Damn God! If you go on like this, won't it delay my achievements? ”
It turned out that there was a confusion and busyness outside the tent, and after a night, the fog not only did not dissipate, but became thicker, and it was impossible to distinguish objects ten paces away, which was simply difficult for the army to move.
Let's say that after the defeat of the western thieves yesterday, all kinds of news came one after another.
First, the heads of Nian Xian and Yifeng were sent by the Western Thief, and Hou Jing was overjoyed when he saw it. Soon after, I heard that there was no trace of the left and right wings of the thief, and I didn't know whether he was defeated or fled. Hou Jing became more and more happy, and casually promised a lot of rewards, and the eyes of the people under the direct sect shone brightly.
As for the Western Thief Army, Hou Jing knew that it had been defeated and fled, but he didn't know what the results were: how many thieves had been killed or wounded? And how many thieves will die in this battle?
Anyway, it's a confused account, and no one can tell --- Hou Jing and his subordinates have jumped out to praise their merits, what "force to kill the seven Western Thief Governors", "Sweep the Eight Hundred Western Thieves Guards"... Say anything.
Hou Jing laughed, applauded again and again, and rewarded him.
Seeing Hou Jing so happy, some people were bold, saying that they had seen a majestic western general lying next to the road, with an extremely vicious face.
When Hou Jing heard this, he rubbed his hands again and again, shouting again.
Is that okay too? The rest of the people were dumbfounded, but they reacted one by one and did the same. But seeing that the mouth was foaming at the scene, gushing endlessly, and later, almost all the famous generals in the Western Army were brought out, either "killed in the chaos of the army", or "fell to the bottom of the valley"... It's very eloquent, and it's presentable.
Pei Guo seems to have died--- it is the Eastern Army that captured him to report, saying that "fighting the thief Pei Guo has caused a whole body injury, although he has to escape, he will die halfway."
Hou Jing's deeply concave horse face became more and more crooked the more he smiled, although no one in the field dared to judge the whereabouts of the thief leader Yuwentai, he couldn't help but shout: "That Yuwen black thief is in front of the army... Based on this speculation, haha, most of them have already asked King Yama to take them away! ”
Therefore, in Hou Jing's heart, the western thieves have been dispersed, and most of the thieves are killed and wounded, and their own family is said to have won a complete victory. It is precisely because of this that he is not in a hurry to chase and kill, lest he not distinguish things in the foggy night, and if there is any chaos in his life, it will not be beautiful.
Having said that, Hou Jing naturally wanted to "clean" the battlefield earlier, if he had to find the corpse of a black thief such as Yuwen, wouldn't it be beautiful?
So he ordered the whole army to be on alert, ready to go at any time, and patiently survived the night, intending to leave the camp as soon as it was daybreak. As a result, when I came out in the morning, I saw that the fog was still there, and I was naturally very angry. had no choice but to order the three armies to return to their accounts for the time being, waiting for the follow-up.
。。。。。。
In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, a southerly wind suddenly blew in the face, and the fog drifted away. As far as the eye can see, you can already see ten zhang away, and you can see twenty zhang, and to fifty zhang...
Hou Jing had already been in and out many times, and he was impatient at this time: "Out of the camp!" Out of camp! ”
Wang Xiangui interjected on the side: "But do you want to summon Gao Gao to go there?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Hou Jing rolled his eyes: "The strategy was set by me alone, and the credit is naturally mine, so why do I want to get a piece of the pie?" ”
"It's the pole, it's the pole."
From last night to now, the military order has been changed back and forth several times--- and the people below have been leading the horses to come out for a while, and then returning to the account for a while, which is really annoying. Yesterday, after a fierce battle, the big guy was already exhausted, and he couldn't sleep well at night. If you are tossed like this again this morning, you will have to shout that you can't bear it.
So, when they finally came out of the camp, everyone was pale, their steps were weak, and they were complaining. Then on the march, lazy, lazy, procrastinating, self-procrastinating.
Along the way, I did see some human corpses and horse bodies lying in a mess on the roadside, and most of them were indeed left behind by the Western Army, but at a glance, there was no imaginary scene of corpses piling up like a mountain. If you really have to calculate carefully, I'm afraid it will be... Well, if you stand up to the sky, you won't be able to kill more than 3,000 thieves. As for the corpse of Yuwentai that Hou Jingxin wanted to find, there was naturally no trace.
The big guys are all old fighters, and when they saw this, they couldn't help muttering: "Don't want the West Thief to be hit hard at all, and the Yuwen Black Thief... Most of the time it's fine. At this thought, everyone showed some uneasiness.
Hou Jing's face was not very good-looking. Wang Xiangui hurriedly cheered on the side: "Most of the western thieves have been scattered, even if they die and don't see their bodies, it is impossible for them to come back." ”
Hou Jingjing nodded, and his face seemed to be better, but if he looked closely, he could see that he was still a little uneasy, but in fact, it had not disappeared.
Starting from the east military camp on the bank of the big river, going to the western army camp at the southern foot of Bishan, it is only ten miles away, and the fog is gone, and it will not take long to arrive.
But the Eastern Army has been walking for a long time, but it is still lingering on the way. The reason for this is, firstly, the generals are already lacking in spirit, and they are grinding, how can they get up quickly? Second, it's what I saw along the way, which really makes people feel worried--- there are people who talk about it on weekdays, and I can't help muttering at this time: "It's not good, it's not good, the right eyelid is jumping non-stop, this trip is not good... ”
I'm really worried about what--- is turning around the mountain pass, and I will see the battle flag hunting, and there are countless Western troops in front!
The white wolf is towering, and the one who straddles the tall horse and raises the whip under it is not the Yuwen black thief who is "mostly dead"?
There is a person on the side, a yellow-clothed horse, dashing out of the dust, just like Pei Guo, a thief who is "seriously injured and will die"!
There is also a majestic thief like a mountain, He Batsheng, wielding a long lance, needless to say, naturally he has never "lay down beside the road".
Including Hou Jing, the more the officers and men of the Eastern Army looked at it, the more frightened they became. There is the cowardly one who is afraid of death, and he is quietly moving backwards...
Seeing Hou Jing's department, the Western Army immediately vibrated Jiashan and shouted, and the sound shook the four fields!
In the cold snort, Yuwentai's horse whip was waved heavily, and when he saw the flag waving, the Western Army immediately raised its spear and rushed forward!
