Chapter 356: The Decisive Moment (Part II)

"Why is Big Brother so good at talking today? I thought you'd have to bury my curse in the ground today. β
Tao Zhuhu smiled lightly and replied:
"I want to scold you, but I've been telling you to be careful since I left Beijing, don't risk your life, but is it useful to say so many times? Young master, don't you still rush to the front to find death? β
Then Tao Zhuhu took a deep breath and sighed:
"Young Master, you have always buried your head in the book when you were in Luoyan Pass, and never came out to practice the bow and horse gun stick, I actually don't like the young master You are studying like that, which of our Beizhen athletes is not a horizontal practice, relying on bows and horses to eat? Young master, you are the representative of the public Shan Chuan, how can you learn to be a weak scholar?
But after fighting on the way out of Beijing to suppress bandits, I found that young master, you may be thin, or you may be like an old pedant, but you are not cowardly at all. Reading too many books makes people look weak, but it doesn't make people become guttless rats. β
Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard Tao Chahu's words:
"That's why you're not scolding me, big brother?"
Tao Zhuhu replied:
"In the past, I thought that you should not risk your life as a scholar, but now I understand that it is impossible for you to lead the troops to fight without coming to the army in person, and the responsibility of not letting you take risks is actually on me and Erlang Saburo, and we should protect your safety."
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he raised his hand and patted his eldest brother's shoulder, he teased:
"It turns out that big brother, you blame yourself, you have to point at me and scold me again."
Tao Zhuhu lowered his head and laughed innocently twice, which was supposed to be a response to Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi, who finished gossiping, immediately turned his attention to the battlefield he was in, and he pointed to the officers and soldiers on his right who were fighting with the demon thieves in front of the woods and asked:
"Where did you get these people? Was it sent by Qi Rongxun later? β
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"We attacked the demon thieves from east to west from wide to narrow, the battle line of the infantry is getting narrower and narrower, these brothers are evenly separated from the battle line, just now after the war drums sounded in the woods, the captain began to draw troops to defend the rear."
Lan Ziyi listened to Tao Zhuhu's words and looked at the battle on the other side of the woods. There weren't many people sent down from the front, but they were more than enough to stop the thieves in the woods from moving on.
Lan Ziyi looked over there and frowned, and said:
"There aren't many thieves in the woods, at least not much more than the officers and soldiers intercepted here."
Tao Zhuhu nodded and said:
"Yes, it should have been a feint in the woods just now, and the demon thief was well prepared."
Lan Ziyi raised his head to look at the sky, took a long breath, and raised his hand to signal Tao Zhuhu not to say any more. Lan Ziyi knew that the last half of Tao Zhuhu was to excuse him for leading the team to attack the woods just now, but if he knew that the demon thief was a feint, and the infantry reinforcements were about to attack him, why did Lan Ziyi let his men attack the woods with iron horses? That's suicide!
Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi immediately remembered the bloody scene in the forest just now, there were wails everywhere, people and horses everywhere were stacked together and trampled on each other, and the soldiers who desperately wanted to crawl out and escape were knocked out by the demon thieves who rushed up as soon as they raised their heads, and their skulls exploded, and their brains were on the ground. Lan Ziyi will never forget the scene just now, these brothers, together with the brothers who fought to get on the boat but were thrown into the water when they boarded the boat outside Shouchun City, Jiangbei, were deeply engraved in Lan Ziyi's heart, indelible, and this memory is more unforgettable than Shouchun's time, which is heart-wrenching, because Shouchun's failure can still be used as a last resort, and he has to excuse himself, and this time it was completely Lan Ziyi's command error, and he took his brothers to death.
Perhaps Tao Zhuhu is unwilling to scold Lan Ziyi today, and there is a reason for the defeat.
Lan Ziyi closed his eyes, bit his lip and asked Tao Zhuhu:
"In this way, Lei Youde should have lined up by now, right?"
Tao Zhuhu couldn't bear to see Lan Ziyi's painful and self-blaming appearance, so he twisted his face to the side, stretched out his hand and pointed to the front and said:
"It's already there."
Lan Ziyi opened his eyes when he heard this, looked up, and sure enough, in the rear of the big area that was still an open space before, there was already a well-prepared elite armor unit stationed in the same place, and the handsome banner of the demon thief with the word "thunder" written on it was squarely inserted in the phalanx in the middle of the demon thief.
Lan Ziyi pursed his lips, pressed his eyebrows, and grinded his upper and lower teeth, the demon thief was in front of him, but when he escaped from the woods just now, he didn't see anything.
But even if he saw it just now, he could only see it, and there was nothing he Lan Ziyi could do.
Just as Lan Ziyi looked at the demon thief in front of him and gritted his teeth, Zhang Yanwu also drove to Lan Ziyi's side with the team that had escaped just now.
Zhang Yanwu, who was on the horse, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhuhu standing on the ground, and then Zhang Yanwu opened his mouth and scolded Lan Ziyi:
"I said a long time ago that you don't want to rush the demon thieves over there, if you don't listen, you have to rush with the whole army, now it's good, the people and horses are all folded in the forest over there, but you tell me what to do to deal with the demon thieves over there now?"
After saying that, Zhang Yanwu stretched out his hand and pointed to the demon thieves who had already been arrayed in the east.
Tao Zhuhu saw Lan Ziyi looking up to the sky and sighed, and began to worry about whether Lan Ziyi's spirit could withstand it, a few days ago, the defeat of Shouchun Lan Ziyi was almost defeated, and finally the captain cured Lan Ziyi's heart disease, but now he has added a new defeat, in case Lan Ziyi can't stand it anymore, how can it be good if his heart collapses. So when Zhang Yanwu finished speaking, Tao Zhuhu immediately retorted:
"Before the captain sent troops here, he didn't have time to inform Wei Hou, how did Wei Hou know that reinforcements would come here to stop the demon thieves?"
Zhang Yanwu didn't know how miserable Lan Ziyi had been stimulated before, and even if he knew that it was estimated that Zhang Yanwu was not in the mood to pity Lan Ziyi now, he immediately scolded when he saw Tao Zhuhu replying:
"Can't your guards wait until all the thieves come out of the woods before rushing? If all the thieves come out of the woods, they will be the thieves who are going to one place now. β
Where can Tao Zhuhu be so arrogant, after hearing Zhang Yanwu's words, Tao Zhuhu glared angrily, and the guy wanted to step forward and overturn Zhang Yanwu off the horse.
Lan Ziyi on the side kept staring at the demon thief in front of him, he kept listening to the quarrel between Tao Zhuhu and Zhang Yanwu next to him, and when he felt Tao Zhuhu make a move, he immediately reached out and pulled Tao Zhuhu away. Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:
"Big brother doesn't need to say much, it was indeed my command mistake just now, and I have to bear this responsibility, and I have no escape."
Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu turned back to look at Lan Ziyi, but Lan Ziyi just glanced at Tao Zhuhu lightly, and shook his head lightly to signal Tao Zhuhu not to pursue it again. The indifference in Lan Ziyi's eyes was not his deliberate or complete disregard for the life and death of the soldiers, his indifferent eyes were just a look of indifference and inability to pay attention after experiencing shock and exhaustion.
Although Lan Ziyi suffered a lot of blows, Tao Zhuhu saw that Lan Ziyi was still in good spirits and had no worries about going to hell again, so Tao Zhuhu also listened to Lan Ziyi's words and did not pursue Zhang Yanwu again.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Yanwu to say that Lan Ziyi also knows that the current situation is not optimistic, and the demon thieves who came out of the woods in the east lined up in a line, seeing that the number of people is about the same as the total number of officers and soldiers. Although this person does not account for many of the demon thieves, it has only been a little time since the main force of the demon thieves was defeated, and Lei Youde was able to re-assemble such a team, which shows that Lei Youde is very powerful.
After stopping the peach chasing the tiger, Lan Ziyi Zhang Yan martial arts:
"How many of us are left?"
Zhang Yanwu rode on the horse and held his right arm tied in the iron armor with his left hand, looking unhappy, Lan Ziyi's expression on Zhang Yanwu's face was not only dissatisfied with the attack just now, but also some sore and painful endurance, and then looked at Zhang Yanwu's right shoulder, the bandaging inside the iron armor had been loosened.
Zhang Yanwu gave the people behind him a look, and the cavalry of the Ironclad Imperial Forest Army next to him came up from behind with an empty horse and walked in front of Lan Ziyi. Lan Ziyi saw that this was his own mount before he fell off the horse just now, Lan Ziyi thought that the horse had been folded in the woods just now, but he didn't expect it to survive.
When Lan Ziyi stepped on the horse, Zhang Yanwu opened his mouth and said:
"Just now we charged in two rows, and all five hundred people in the first row were sent there, even if the people were not all dead; When I led the team to turn around from the damn place just now, the demon thieves who rushed up pulled our 100 brothers off the horse one after another, and now you can find the Tiefu Tu with all the people and horses of our people, less than 500 people. β
After Lan Ziyi got on the horse, he adjusted his sitting posture and sat firmly, and looked at the remaining Tiefutu on the side, after the round of charging just now, now the soldiers are mostly embarrassed, and the armor on their bodies is not only full of blood but also loose. What reassured Lan Ziyi was that although the soldiers were tired and newly defeated, there was no sign of morale collapse, and after Lan Ziyi cast his gaze, the soldiers also actively nodded to Lan Ziyi and saluted, and there was no resistance. It seems that a mistake did not make Lan Ziyi lose his military heart.
As long as the military spirit is still there, there will still be a war.
After sitting firmly, Lan Ziyi glanced at Zhang Yanwu and said:
"When you ran away just now, you really said to leave, and you threw me into the back of the thieves' den before you turned around."
Zhang Yanwu snorted coldly and said:
"I'd rather you die there, as long as you don't pull me."
Then Zhang Yanwu said:
"Don't talk about cool words, your old friend Lei Youde on the other side has brought as many people as our whole army to kill, what should we do?"
Thinking of the current problem, even Lan Ziyi felt helpless, and after being asked, Lan Ziyi had to sigh and say:
"I want the captain to immediately lead the team to turn around to meet the enemy now, but they still have the main force of the demon thieves to deal with, why have the demon thieves retreated for a long time, and they have been chased and killed by us for so long, and they still haven't run clean?"
εΌ ιζ¦ says:
"Don't think about it, this place is a horn mouth, it's easy to get in to the west and it's hard to get out, of course these thieves are running quickly, we can't rely on the infantry behind us."
