Chapter 440: Hound Dog
On a summer night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. Under the moonlight, Gongsun Luo led the 150,000 troops of the Eastern Expedition to be in full battle, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and by the moonlight, everyone saw a black figure not far away, and the battle was about to break out.
As they drew closer, they heard each other's shouts, like the fearful sounds of hunters on the steppes against cunning wolves.
It didn't take long for the silhouettes of the other side to finally become clear, and the two sides faced off with a distance of less than five hundred paces.
The other party was obviously prepared, and as soon as they met, they didn't say hello, dozens of cavalry suddenly stepped forward slowly, came to the central position, and suddenly picked up something in their hands and threw it towards the Yan State army formation, and after throwing it, the cavalry retreated.
At this time, a person shouted towards the Yan State army array: "All the soldiers have come from afar, we Jingguo people are very welcome, these are gifts from any of us to you, please smile!" ”
Gongsun Luo looked surprised, what the hell are the people of Jingguo doing? Actually give gifts as soon as you meet? Thinking of this, Gongsun Luo glanced at a young general beside him, the young general nodded, and rode towards the central area.
After a while, the young general rushed back, and before he arrived at the position, he heard the voice of the young general: "Your Highness Qiqi, it's the head!" ”
When Gongsun Luo heard this, he instantly understood that these heads should be scouts sent by himself to investigate in Jingguo, and the other party was provoking himself, and all those who stepped into Jingguo's territory had to die!
The other party heard the shouts of the young general and let out bursts of laughter. The enemy shouted to the crowd again: "That's right, this is the scout you sent out in the afternoon, twenty heads in all, no more, no less!" ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Luo clenched his fists, and immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Who is willing to attack, return the color to the enemy!" ”
When Zhang Shumo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, and our army has not prepared in advance, in case the other party has an ambush, we will definitely be defeated if we attack rashly!" ”
"You and I have both seen each other just arrived, what ambush can they have? When the two sides met for the first time today, the other party gave us a dismissal, if I put up with it, wouldn't it damage the morale of our army? Gongsun Luo didn't seem to agree with Zhang Shumo's opinion.
Seeing this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly said: "Your Highness, think about it, if the other party is not prepared, how can he kill all the scouts you sent out in just a few hours?" Maybe they've already sent someone to keep an eye on the movement of our camp! ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Luo looked at Xu Jian: "General Xu, what do you suggest?" ”
Xu Jian understood Gongsun Luo's thoughts, and the young man was inevitably arrogant, and he naturally couldn't stand being insulted like this by the other party. But what Zhang Shumo said is not unreasonable, scouts are good at concealing their whereabouts, if the other party is not prepared in advance, how can he kill all the scouts in such a short time, so it is better to be careful.
So Xu saw that Gongsun Luo arched his hand: "I thought it was too sudden today, so it's better to be careful!" ”
At this moment, Li Mo suddenly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the other party may have sent a hunting dog!" ”
"Hounds?" Everyone looked at Li Mo suspiciously, and Li Mo hurriedly explained.
"The Hound is a special army cultivated by the Shen family, good at tracking and assassination, and has a lot of fame in the Jingguo army, they are often mixed in the regular army, and when they are in a double battle, they can assassinate the opponent's main general at the right time. It is likely that the scouts were tracked down and killed. ”
When Xu saw this, he hurriedly said: "I've heard of this, but I've never seen it yet." ”
Gongsun Luo snorted coldly: "Hound dog? It's not a good thing to hear the name! It's just that they're good at assassination, are my Yan soldiers afraid of them? ”
"That's right, my Yan soldiers have never been greedy for life and afraid of death! Your Highness, Li Ran is willing to take the head of that person Xiang Shang and avenge the dead brothers! A general with a full face said to Gongsun Luo.
Gongsun Luo nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" Li Ran, I now order you to be the vanguard, give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and take that person's head back! ”
Li Ran immediately received the order, and pointed the spear in his hand at the enemy: "I am Li Ran, the pioneer of the Yan Kingdom, the enemy will report the name, I will not kill the nameless!" ”
Na Ran laughed: "I am Shen Lang, the general of the Jingguo Town Army, waiting for General Li's arrival!" ”
Seeing that the other party didn't care about him, Li Ran screamed in his mouth, grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards the other party with 10,000 soldiers.
Shen Lang was not in a hurry, seeing Li Ran acting, just for a while, a team of people also came out in an instant, facing Li Ran.
Seeing this, Zhang Shumo immediately said to Gongsun Luo: "Your Highness, please also prepare two armies to protect General Li's flank, in case the enemy really has an ambush, we can also meet General Li." ”
Although Gongsun Luo was arrogant, he didn't dare to be careless at this time, and immediately arranged it: "Nie Fei and She Zhou obey orders, and the two of you each bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect Li Ran's flank, and if there is anything abnormal, immediately respond to General Li." ”
Nie and She received the order, led the men and horses out of the ranks, and were ready to attack at any time.
On the other side, Li Ran had already led the army into the local formation. Seeing Li Ran wielding the Xuantie spear in his hand to kill left and right in the enemy formation, as if entering a no-man's land, Gongsun Luo was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that the evil qi in his chest finally spit out.
But Shen Lang faced the defeat of his own army, but he was not in a hurry. After Li Ran's troops penetrated deep into their own position, Shen Lang smiled slightly and raised his right hand.
At this time, the war drums suddenly sounded in the Jingguo army, and everyone immediately felt bad when they heard it. Sure enough, at the same time as the war drums thundered, two cavalry teams suddenly appeared on both sides of Li Ran's troops, charging towards the ribs of Li Ran's troops.
Seeing this, Nie Fei and She Zhou rushed forward with their troops without hesitation, wanting to stop the ambush soldiers before they could attack Li Ran's troops.
Gongsun Luo sighed in his heart when he saw the form on the battlefield, but he didn't expect Zhang Shumo to guess correctly. When I thought of what I had just said, I suddenly felt that my face was gloomy.
I don't know why, Gongsun Luo felt a vicious aura rise in his heart, and he felt nowhere to release, so he simply pulled out his long sword, pointed at the Jingguo army formation and said: "The enemy army is only tens of thousands of people, and he actually dares to spread wild in front of our army, listen to my orders, and the whole army will attack and level the enemy army!" ”
After speaking, Gongsun Luo rushed out of the queue first. Everyone panicked, and they didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly followed, and after a while, the horn of the charge sounded in the Yan Guo array.
At this time, except for the baggage troops in the army, the other sergeants all launched a charge. Zhang Shumo took his five hundred subordinates and stayed in the formation.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but scratch his head: "This Gongsun Luo is really simple and rude, the 150,000 army is pouring out directly, if the other party sends a team of several thousand people to come over and burn heavy grain and grass, this battle will not have to be fought!" ”
