Volume 2: Turbulent Waves Chapter 63: Counterattack
In the ninth year of the Great Cause, on the ninth day of the eighth month, Shen Shi (3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon).
Outside Hangu Pass, Bamboo Forest Plain.
At the beginning of the rainstorm, the mountain wind howled and the roads were muddy.
Han Shi'e led an army of 5,000 people, beating drums and cheering, and attacked the Xiaoguo forbidden army that went out of the pass.
Living in the array, his face was solemn, although he was not as frightened as Yang Jishan, but the impact of Yang Xuan's fall made him feel depressed in his heart.
The end of the army is imminent, what is the future?
After Yuwen Chengdu's victory, he was invincible, and he had to do his best, and he also let go of the army and horses to kill Han Shi'e's department.
There were already two or three thousand Sui soldiers in Hangu Guan Gu Dao, dressed in armor, armed with swords, shields, and spears, and they shouted in unison to kill the traitors in front of them.
Yuwen Chengdu is proud and still maintains a sobriety, and has suffered a big loss in the hands of Gao Si, and he no longer dares to underestimate the enemy.
"Cavalry attack!" The Sui army moved again.
Ma Yuan took two thousand iron horses, raised the horse lance, ignored the mud of the road, and galloped from the hidden place, and the sound of the horse's hooves trampling the muddy water came from the crackling.
"Kill it!" Han Shi's Hubei Department formed a formation of 4,000 men and horses, and 800 knights were ready to go, desperately resisting the Sui army's advance.
Yuwen Chengdu was still stationed in Ma Tuqiu, unmoved, just snorted coldly: "Han Shi'e, there are some generals, but not as good as Gao Si'er." ”
Yu Wenyi and Zhao Xingshu beside him sat speechless, and Han Shi'e was not too bad at that time.
Until Tanma came to report again, Gao Si took more than 10,000 people from the Chu army to three miles away.
Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand and said excitedly: "Let's go down and prepare, I will lead it, and no one is allowed to retreat." ”
Seeing through the bamboo forest, he said, "You also go down to fight with the whole army." ”
"No!" Several generals responded, and each returned to the camp to prepare for battle.
Stepping on the footsteps, the original footsteps are getting closer, the flag is flying, and the sound of killing is louder!
Gao Si carried the seven-star sword, and the reverie continued during the march.
When Yang Xuan felt that he was dying, he had already known through the changes in the number of connected qi.
Therefore, when Yang Jishan came to report the time, he had the quick arrangement to send troops to rescue without fear of danger.
In fact, the situation has gradually become clear, Yuwenshu sent a large army to detour through the pass to block it, and then arranged men and horses to chase after it. If you want to get out, you must first defeat all the way to the army and then look for a good opportunity.
In times of crisis, in a dangerous situation, it is necessary to use manpower to recover.
Wang Boren's life was excellent, so he made an exception and promoted him to deputy general, and went to lead the ambush and cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.
"Attack!" Gao Si's long sword pointed forward, and countless Chu troops moved forward under the guidance of the battle flag.
"Exterminate the traitors!" Not to be outdone, Yuwen Chengdu commanded the Sui army to counterattack, and the iron cavalry broke through the formation, and arrows rained down.
The Sui army has complete armor and is well-trained, which is even more necessary in the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army. There were 20,000 officers and soldiers who went out of the pass to pursue, and the number of people was multiple that of the Chu army.
As for the Chu army, probably only those with higher status wore leather armor. For ordinary soldiers, that black leather armor is what many people dream of.
The Seven Star Sword is forged based on the Shixing Double Sword, and the water of Yanshan is introduced, which is repeatedly beaten by the fire, and it is within the reach of extraordinary soldiers.
Gao Si rushed left and right with a sword in his hand, and Chang He followed with a flag, killing along the road, and those officers and soldiers were all killed.
Soon met with Yuwen Chengdu on the battlefield.
The corpse of Yang Xuangan was hung on the head of the other party's horse, Yuwen Chengdu was very proud, and the phoenix wings were gilded and bored before the pine, and sneered: "Gao Si Xiao'er, take your dog's life today!" ”
Gao Si's eyes widened angrily, like two flames, burning at once. Suddenly, the sword pointed at Yuwen Chengdu and shouted: "You killed Yang Xuangan!" ”
Although the accents of the two sides are not uniform, they can also hear each other, and each of them is very suicidal.
Yuwen Chengdu said proudly: "Not bad! "Pick up your weapon and kill.
Gao Si swung his sword and barely struck a blow, turned back to He Chang, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”
At this time, he only said that he had heard it wrong, and Chang He couldn't help but be startled, and asked, "General, do you really want to release arrows?" ”
Gao Si was struggling at the moment, Yuwen Chengdu struck a blow and shouted: "Yes, release the arrow!" We have been held back by Yuwen Chengdu, and only by killing him can we end the battle. ”
Gao Si performed the Hutao swordsmanship, holding the sword with both hands, slashing in a row, and attacking bravely.
Yuwen Chengdu waved the phoenix wings and gilded boring to separate them, and smiled contemptuously: "Gao Si, today is the day of your death!" ”
Behind, Chang He made a move and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
As soon as these words came out, more than 50 people from the Yuejia swordsman battalion lurking dozens of steps away shouted in unison, and heavy arrows on the bow and crossbow racks buzzed like flying locusts towards the place where Gao Si and Yuwen Chengdu were fighting.
Gao Si had already rolled over and fell on his side, hiding under the horse's belly.
Chang He has already learned the same.
"What is this?" Yuwen Chengdu was subconsciously stunned when he saw the attack of Wumang, and when he realized that this was an indiscriminate crossbow attack, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly danced the phoenix wings gilt boring to resist.
Puff puff, let his weapon dance so much that the water could not splash in, but he still couldn't block the heavy arrow raid, and under the three rounds of arrow rain, Yuwen Chengdu was hit by an arrow in his right shoulder, left arm and leg, and the war horse also fell to the ground.
Even the guards around him were shot down seven or eight times, and they were killed one after another.
The remaining guards hurriedly rescued the main general and fled, not even bothering to take the weapon if it was lost.
Gao Si struggled out from under the horse's belly, knowing that it was time for a moment. Ignoring the crushed right leg, he shouted vigorously: "Yuwen Chengdu is dead, those who descend will not be killed!" ”
Chang He also drilled out, miraculously not injured, took the opportunity to wave the flag, and shouted: "Yuwen Chengdu is dead, those who descend will not be killed!" ”
General Tempo was killed?
Xiaoguo Forbidden Army, how many Yuwen lords are under the leadership, Yuwen Chengdu is known as the first warrior of the new generation of the Great Sui, and his prestige is outstanding.
At this moment, when they suddenly heard that the general had died, they were all shocked and suspicious.
A general looked at the center, and sure enough, the banner of the main general was missing, is this worth it? The morale of the Sui army could not help but plummet.
"What a ruthless tall boy!" Yuwen Chengdu fled for his life, vomiting blood in anger, but he didn't dare to turn back.
If you're being targeted, you're really going to die!
"Those who descend do not kill, those who descend do not kill! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
The soldiers of the battalions of the Sui army were in doubt, and suddenly the Hangu Pass behind them also shouted to kill, and the Chu army rushed out like a ghost, screaming and killing the officers and soldiers.
As the first general, he is a red-faced man, dancing with two knives in his hands, turning like flying, like an ape running to a wolf, blocking all deaths.
This is exactly Wang Boren who led 3,000 volts to kill at the right time, and he blamed the roarer, and he really had the posture of ten thousand enemies.
Yu Wenyi was also taken aback, and the army was defeated and did not distinguish between the true and the false, so he fled to the mountains and forests. But even so, he still suffered several minor injuries on his body.
As the Chu army fought bravely, the Xiaoguo forbidden army gradually collapsed.
In the midst of the chaos, I suddenly heard Gao Si ordering here: "Yuwen Chengdu is dead!" Those who surrender will not be killed, Xiaoguo soldiers and soldiers, why not surrender me! ”
Who doesn't have the idea of stealing life?
Seeing that the defeat was decided, the Sui army trapped in the encirclement formed a formation to defend itself, but they did not dare to surrender easily.
The killing stopped.
A Sui army general came to the front of the battle, holding his empty hands, this person seemed not afraid of death, and shouted: "The defeated general Zhao Jin asks to see General Gao!" "He is the eldest son of Zhao Yuanshu, the general of Huyalang.
In the tragic battle just now, the iron armor on Gao Si's body also had a few cracks, and there was even more blood on one of his faces. His legs were still aching, and when he heard that the messenger of the Sui army was coming, he supported the ground with his sword and shouted coldly: "Let him come!" ”
Chang He on the side said: "The general has an order, the two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed." Brat...... Come with me. ”
Although this Zhao Jin is young, he is fluent in speaking, and he is also wearing soft armor, one of which is from a noble background.
I only heard Zhao Jin say: "General Gao, we don't want to be the enemy of the general, but it is impossible to surrender." If the general insists on killing us all, then the sons and daughters in the army can only fight to the death for their father. ”
Gao Si was taken aback in his heart, and the hand that pressed the sword couldn't help but increase his strength, and shouted: "If you don't surrender, do you think that my sword is unfavorable?" ”
Zhao Jin lowered his head and sighed: "Don't dare!" It's just that although General Gao is brave, he can't save the overall situation.
The saint's million-strong army has already joined forces, and the old general Yuwenshu has already sent elites such as Guanzhong to intercept them, and there is no hope for your troops to enter the west.
In addition, there is Qu Tutong's follow-up in the east, and there is the siege of Wu Yunzhao, the general of Long Xiang, in the south, and you have no way out. ”
Gao Si was unmoved, and said coldly: "You can't save your life with this military intelligence alone." ”
Zhao Jin nodded and smiled bitterly.
He gritted his teeth and continued, "We can keep all the armor and blades, and give your January military rations. As long as General Gao can let go of a way out, give my father and son and his subordinates these eight thousand sons. ”
Gao Si said flatly: "A certain person is not a person who loves to kill. So good, I sent a team of people to escort the military rations, and received a group of people who were released. ”
Zhao Jin bent down, thanked him, and then followed Wang Boren's department into the prison to transport grain and grass.
There is the grain and grass that Hongnong Taishou Yang Zhiji prepared for Yang Xuangan's army earlier, which later returned to Yuwen Chengdu, and now it is in the hands of Gao Si.
Zhao Jin lied that Fengyuwen Chengdu would order the transfer of grain and grass, and the people who closed it did not dare to disobey.
It was carried by the starry night, and on the morning of the second day, the two hundred donkey carts of grain were accepted by Wang Boren, and the family couldn't close their mouths.
Gao Si did not break his promise, and after collecting a large number of armor blades, he ordered the road to be cleared and let Huyalang take Zhao Yuanshu and leave in batches.
At the time of parting, Zhao Jin suddenly turned around and said in a low voice: "General Yuwenshu has captured Liyang with Chen Ling, and the army is coming from the north!" ”
"Thank you." Gao Si was thoughtful.
Clean up the mess after the war.
On the bamboo forest plain, it was camped by the German army in the mountains.
With the use of troops at risk, after breaking Yuwen Chengdu, Gao Si needs to consider how to go forward.
At dawn, a new day came, and under the service of Yang Min and Xu Xiaohui, Gao Si put on his armor with difficulty, regardless of the aggravated leg injury, and inspected the entire camp.
When I went to the battlefield, there were still corpses all over the ground, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
When the generals saw him staring at the bones on the ground, they had to wait patiently.
Gao Si said with a wry smile: "On the battlefield, either you die or I die, and I don't feel it when I fight." But now, when I see this, I always can't bear it, come here, no matter who I am, bury the dead. ”
The generals hurriedly said: "General, now that the future of this army is important, you should plan your itinerary early." ”
Gao Si was unmoved, sighed and said: "How can people be ruthless if they are not plants and trees? Wait for me to tell you. ”
The generals promised: "No! ”
"Chang He, you have people collect the corpses and bury them, as well as those brothers who have been cast into Jingguan, they are all buried one by one, and no more violent corpses are allowed in the wild."
"Han Shi'e, you rectify the battleable soldiers and horses, send more horses, and always pay attention to Qu Tutong's movements, and there must be no mistakes."
"Wang Boren, Yang Xuanzong, and you are stationed at the pass to prevent any more Sui troops from coming out of Hangu Pass."
"Li Baiyao, Zheng Yan, you count the grain depot, arrange food and lodging for the army, and register the wounded soldiers and their families one by one after the battle, so as to prepare for the future march."
"In the end, the rest of the generals will be selected to report to the meritorious generals, and I will reward the meritorious ones."
"Yes!" The generals replied in unison, all awe-inspiring, and they didn't dare to disobey.
