Chapter 118: Meeting on a Narrow Road
"Dare to be the first in the world!"
I have to say that Zhao Jia's words are very infectious, and even talents like Sima Shang feel enthusiastic and shout loudly at this time.
Zhao Guo's soldiers, who heard Zhao Jia's words nearby, turned even red, brandished the weapon in his hand and shouted.
The summer wind, although a little hot, also makes people feel cool.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, the dust on the road was gently raised, and the armored Meng Wu was released, and the horse chased in the direction of the retreat of the Qin army.
"Hey."
Thinking of the outcome of this war and the predicament that Montessori might encounter, Meng Wu felt a little blocked in his heart.
"This defeat is all because of me, if it is really difficult for Montessori to gain a foothold in the Qin State, what should I do?"
Meng Wu was riding on a horse, but his thoughts were a little chaotic.
For some reason, Meng Wu suddenly remembered the heroic and virtuous Corporal Zhao Guogongzi, and remembered the reluctance in his eyes when the other party held his hands tightly when he parted.
"I have admired the Montessori for a long time, and one day, if the Montessori is difficult to gain a foothold in the Qin State, the land of Shenqi will open the door for the general at any time!"
Thinking of Zhao Jia's words, Meng Wu's eyes showed a complicated look.
"Stop!"
Just as Meng Wu's thoughts were flying, he suddenly heard a few loud shouts, and Meng Wu hurriedly came back to his senses, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.
"It's Qin Jun!"
After seeing that the person blocking the way was the Qin army, Meng Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then tightly restrained the war horse.
"I am Mengwu."
Meng Wu only informed his name, and did not and did not want to say anything more.
The Mengshi had a high prestige in the Qin State, and the three generations were all Qin generals, even if they were not native to the Qin State, the Mengwu Daimyo was almost also widely known in the army.
Sure enough.
When Meng Wu announced his name, the attitude of those Qin soldiers with a look of vigilance immediately changed.
"Who is responsible for judging the latter?"
Meng Wu's identity was verified, and the soldiers all had respectful expressions on their faces.
Meng Wu didn't talk to these soldiers too much, but began to inquire about the situation of the Qin army.
"Breaking the latter is Meng Yi yes!"
Meng Wu muttered to himself: "Yi'er? ”
After a long silence, Meng Wu said, "Take me to see Meng Yi quickly!" ”
On the official road, the Qin army stretched for more than ten miles.
Meng Yi commanded 5,000 cavalry, scattered and hovered behind the Qin army, guarding against a possible attack by the Zhao army.
"General, look who that is!"
Just when Meng Yi frowned and thought about things, he suddenly heard the surprised shouts of the guards beside him, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
This personal soldier has been following him for a long time, and Meng Yi knows that the other party is by no means an impetuous person, and he will definitely not be so out of shape in ordinary times.
His eyes followed the direction of the soldier's finger, and after seeing the appearance of the person who came clearly, Meng Yi's face was already showing surprise
"Drive!"
Meng Yi waved his whip, and the war horse suddenly raised its four hooves and ran towards the position of the person who came.
That man was Meng Wu.
When he saw his son, he also felt mixed in his heart.
Once, Meng Wu even thought with some fear that he might never see his family again.
was reduced to a prisoner, and then returned safely, the gap in Meng Wu's heart can be imagined.
"Yi'er."
The two of them did not get close, and the horses had slowed down, and when they were not far apart, both sides almost simultaneously strangled the reins of the horses.
"The child meets his father!"
Seeing his father return safely, Meng Yi was surprised and delighted, rolled the saddle and bowed his head.
"A man in the army, how can you be so polite!"
Meng Wu also turned over and dismounted, holding his son's arms, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.
People who have not experienced despair never know what they care about most.
When Meng Wu thought that he would be torn apart, he did not think about Montessori's future anymore, but thought about his own family.
The two left the crowd and stood opposite each other.
"Father."
Looking at Meng Wu, who was obviously much haggard, Meng Yi exploded in emotion, and shouted softly, wanting to ask about the past, but he still didn't ask after all.
Because Meng Yi knew that his father's experience of being captured would definitely not be too wonderful, and it was best not to evoke that kind of memory from the other party.
"But you want to ask, why did my father return safely from the Zhao State military camp?"
It stands to reason that when the two sides negotiated peace, Meng Fu could indeed ask Zhao Jia to release Meng Wu.
It's just for the sake of the family's interests, Meng Fu didn't do that, because this might make others think that the reason why Meng Fu let the Tujun fortress be in exchange for his son.
In this case, it will definitely be worse for Montessori, which is already in crisis.
Meng Yi hesitated for a while, but finally nodded slightly.
Meng Wu looked up at the sky.
After a long time, he sighed slightly, wanting to tell Meng Yi about his experience of being captured.
"Boom!"
However, at this moment, there seemed to be a muffled thunder in the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
"Not good!"
Both of them were battle-hardened men, so they naturally knew that there were a large number of cavalry, and they were charging on horseback.
Although the cavalry of the Qin army had 5,000, they were scattered to guard the rear army at this time, and the speed was also slow and leisurely, and it was impossible to cause such a movement.
Well, there's only one possibility!
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The two shouted almost at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the horn also sounded everywhere in the Qin army, and the five thousand Qin elite cavalry that had been scattered around quickly began to assemble.
I have to say that Meng Yi's command of the cavalry is indeed extraordinary.
The five thousand elite cavalry seemed to be scattered and disorganized, but after the real horn sounded, it was like ants returning to their nests, no matter where those scattered cavalry were, no matter how powerful the upcoming Zhao army was, they all converged in the direction of Meng Yi.
It can also be seen from this that the discipline and elite of the Qin army.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the earth seemed to tremble with fear.
Meng Wu and Meng Tian raised their heads and stared into the distance, and after looking at each other, their eyes showed a solemn look.
"Array, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Meng Yi raised the long sword in his hand high, pointed at the torrent that was getting closer and closer, and shouted.
At the same time, several horsemen also galloped towards the distance, going to inform Meng Fu and the rest of the Qin army to prepare for battle.
"Don't rashly fight the cavalry of Zhao State!"
Seeing that Meng Yi was about to lead five thousand Qin State elite cavalry to charge, Meng Wu's forehead couldn't help but be covered with beads of sweat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
He came back in a hurry, and he didn't expect the Zhao army to chase after him, so he didn't have time to tell Meng Yi about the horror of the Zhao cavalry.
When Meng Yi heard this, there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
However, the arrow had to be issued, the order had been issued, and if the military order was withdrawn at this time, the blow to morale would be extremely huge.
And there are tens of thousands of Qin State foot soldiers in front.
If Meng Yi couldn't delay for a while, tens of thousands of Zhao cavalry who were chasing after him would completely annihilate this Qin army.
"Kill!"
Before the two sides made contact, the shouts of killing had already broken through the sky.
Although Meng Wu was afraid in his heart, he did not continue to stop Meng Yi, because he also knew that the brave would win when they met on a narrow road.
If the Qin army retreats at this time, the end will never be much better than a direct charge.
