Chapter 21, robes
The title of the song "Paoze" is written by the reckless poet Jiang Wangshu.
The Chu army has not yet broken through Xinli, which is a rare piece of good news. It has been two days since he arrived in Gaopu, and there are more and more people behind Jiang Jue, exceeding 10,000. These are all Qi people, all of whom were rescued by Jiang Jue at Huoquan Pass last year. These Qi people saw Jiang Jue again, wiped away their tears and joined the team, and came to Gaopu.
The three cities in the Huoquan Pass have not all fallen, and the Yongyi Army of Qidi Township is still resisting. Jiang Jue also knew an exciting good news, after Bai Zhizhan died, the leader of the Yongyi Army in Qidi Township was called Qi Guanzhuang.
Gaopu, Qidi Township Yongyi Army is fighting with the Chu army.
"Hmph, it's just a bunch of stubborn idiots." Gongsun Xiu, the new general of the Chu State to conquer the north, sneered.
Gongsun's family is a family of generals in the Chu State, and Gongsun Xiuzheng is the eldest son of Gongsun Qi, who is very young, less than thirty.
"General, retreat, if you don't retreat, it's too late." A township brave rebel slashed a Chu man to death with a knife, and then shouted at Qi Guanzhuang.
"All the people of Gaopu have withdrawn?" Qi Guanzhuang asked.
"It's all gone, let's withdraw too." The rebel shouted.
Before the words fell, he turned back stupidly, and saw that there was a cavalry of no more and no less, coming quickly, holding high the flag of Pakistan.
"General, we are saved," the rebel cried out excitedly, wiping his face with blood stains, "and at last someone is willing to save us." ”
"Hahaha, kill with Lao Tzu." Qi Guanzhuang has regained his gangsterism, where does he look like a leader of the rebel army, or a general?
Gongsun Xiu looked at the Ba army that came in a hurry with less than 100 horsemen, and he didn't care too much, it was another group of fools, but he just added an extra sum to his credit book.
Dozens of horsemen entered the battlefield, plus the Xiangyong Volunteer Army was less than 200, while the Chu army was no less than 1,000 people.
These dozens of horsemen are Jiang Jue and his party, the horses are really scarce, only less than 100 horses, and the remaining 10,000 people are still behind.
Jiang Jue took the lead in rushing with his sword, and the one behind him was not far behind and rode up.
Qi Guanzhuang didn't care about who was behind him, but a glance at the afterglow made him stunned. In an instant, a long song roared towards him and went straight to the door.
"Official, don't get distracted," Jiang Jue grabbed Changge, smiled, handed out a sword, and said, "Don't you recognize me?" ”
Qi Guanzhuang seemed to cry and laugh, and called out to Gongzi indistinctly.
1,000 people against 200, in any case, it is a one-sided situation. Gongsun Xiu couldn't believe his bright and shiny eyes, he only felt that the Chu army under his command was like ripe rice waiting for the sickle of the Ba people to cut it.
Half an hour later, a thousand Chu troops did not survive, and Gongsun Xiu had fled in the direction of Chaiyi, this battle was really weird.
Of course, Jiang Jue's side was not comfortable, almost less than twenty of the nearly two hundred people were still alive, except for those who came out of the Sword Pavilion, everyone was injured, and Jingfu was also hit by a sword.
"Childe, why are you here?" Qi Guanzhuang wiped his face, and his face was bloody.
Qi Guanzhuang loves to be clean the most, and he cleans up Jiang Jue in a proper manner, but his current appearance is really embarrassing, not to mention the blood stains, but he is also wrapped in a short skirt to cover his shame, and his beard has grown again.
"Don't hold a grudge against me?" Jiang Jue helped Qi Guanzhuang to sit down and asked.
Qi Guanzhuang shook his head and said, "Where can I hate my son." ”
Seeing that the dozen or so people were far away, Qi Guanzhuang whispered: "Childe, be careful of Xuanlang." ”
Qi Guanzhuang's mind is as delicate as a woman, but Jiang Jue feels that Qi Guanzhuang is too worried. Although he doesn't recognize Xuanlang's grandfather, Xuanlang has helped him a lot. Not to mention anything else, just in the past six months, under the guidance of Xuan Lang, his swordsmanship has been a thousand miles a day, and he can even make more than a dozen moves with Fu Bai. Of course, Jiang Jue knew that it was Fu Bai who was letting himself, and if Fu Bai made a full move, he was afraid that he would lose with one move. Jiang Jue had never seen Fu Bai shoot with all his might, and Jiang Wangshu looked relaxed when he played the sword in Emei, and when he competed with Song Guomuse, Long Li, and Tang Xu, he even broke a branch for a sword and killed Tang Xu, the fourth of the great Song Dynasty.
Everyone rested in Gaopu, and Jiang Jue also learned about the war. Soon after he left, the battle of Huoquanguan fell, and Wu Qu rushed back to southern Xinjiang, and Bai Zhi, who had the most prestige in the Xiangyong Volunteer Army, served as the general of Huoquanguan. After Gongsun Xiu led the troops to break through the Huoquan Pass, Bai Zhi died in battle, and the defenders of the Huoquan Pass were all killed, and Qi Guanzhuang recruited the Township Yong Volunteers in the name of Jiang Jue to resist it, and the previous less than 100 people were already the only remaining people of the Township Yong Volunteers.
"Qi Guan, how many people are there in Gongsun Xiu?" Jiang Jue asked.
"There are 20,000 left." Qi Guanzhuang replied.
"Twenty thousand?" Jiang Jue weighed it and said, "Do you think we have a chance of winning?" ”
Qi Guanzhuang replied with a sad face: "Childe, no matter how many of us are less than twenty people, we can't stop 20,000 people." ”
Jingfu said mysteriously: "Qi Guanzhuang, your son-in-law is not just these dozens of people. ”
Behind him, a large group of people showed their heads, and Qi Guanzhuang was ecstatic and said, "Childe, you are still powerful." I was originally passing by Qidi, but I was forcibly left behind by Bai Zhi. After the Huoquan Pass was breached, I planned to cross the river, but I was recognized by this kid. ”
The rebel army on the side of Qi Guanzhuang smiled and said, "I have to drag General Qi Guan to resist the Chu army." ”
When 12,000 people arrived in Gaopu, Jiang Jue was more worried than happy, and how to feed these 12,000 mouths became a problem.
"Childe, I'll send a fast horse to Jiangcheng to collect grain," Jingfu immediately changed his words after speaking, "I'll go personally." ”
"Okay," replied Jiang Jue, "Official, bring my horse." ”
The dark horse that was looked away by Song Xiao did not lose the wild horse king among the three famous horses in the world, Jiang Jue naturally had it in his heart, he cherished the black horse and was reluctant to control it with all his might, otherwise he would not be behind it if he didn't say that he would crush the wild horse king.
The next day, dawn broke.
The Chu general Gongsun Xiu led the army, and Jiang Jue naturally responded to the battle. After all, if Gongsun Xiu defends the Living Spring Pass, he really has no way to deal with him, and it is naturally best to fight head-on. It's a pity that Wu Quji is not there, otherwise Wu Quji's head, which contains a whole book of "The Book of War", must have a good plan to deal with the Chu army. Jiang Jue didn't know the art of war, and Jingfu, who could lead the army, went to Jiangcheng to ask for food again. However, he has Qi Guanzhuang, and Qi Guanzhuang is a delicate person with a lot of knowledge.
"Childe, we are small in numbers, and the Chu army is more; In terms of combat effectiveness, Gongsun Xiu is a regular army, and most of us are township brave volunteers. If you fight head-on, you will naturally be invincible. Qi Guanzhuang said.
Jiang Jue asked, "Then do you have a good plan?" ”
"The most important thing in marching and fighting is not soldiers, generals, food, weapons, war horses, but also morale," Qi Guanzhuang said, "We can frustrate the morale of the Chu army, not to mention 20,000 Chu troops, even 200,000 is a group of straw bales." ”
Qi Guanzhuang said to Zhao Miao: "Please also go and call the battle." ”
Zhao Miao opened her small mouth and pointed at herself and asked, "I'll go?" ”
Qi Guanzhuang nodded, and Jiang Jue said, "Go ahead." ”
Zhao Miao was quite unhappy, but he still raised his sword and called out of the formation.
"Childe, with Zhao Miao's skills, I'm afraid that there are few people in the Chu army who can compare, if you lose to a woman, the morale of the Chu army will naturally decline." Qi Guanzhuang explained the reason.
Jiang Jue looked back, although his side is not as good as the Chu army in terms of numbers, but there are a lot of talents that can be used, Qiguanzhuang has a lot of ideas, Jingfu is a Jiangzhou military general personally trained by Jiang Hou, Zhao Miao, Shishi, Yuchan, Liu Changan and Shao Ruyi who went down the mountain with him are all young second-grade masters, where is this kind of combat power not enough to worship the generals?
At the beginning, the Qishan Sword Pavilion was exhausted, and there were more than a hundred second-grade masters, so they were able to destroy the Xiao Kingdom, and these were not just the masterpieces of Fu Bai alone.
Gongsun Xiu saw that it was a female streamer who was shouting, so he shouted: "Is there no one in Pakistan?" Actually let a woman go to the battlefield, didn't she know the hardships in the army and came to send us warmth? ”
Zhao Miao gritted her teeth in anger, she looked down on two kinds of people the most, one was a person who looked down on women, and the other was a man. It just so happened that Gongsun Xiu took both.
"The last general is willing to go to war, capture this beauty and bring it back to warm the general's bed." There are generals who ask for battle.
Gongsun Xiu originally planned to make a move in person, but when he thought that if he won a woman, he might not have a good reputation, so he nodded and said, "Okay, General Huang, please go to war." ”
This Huang general is fat and strong, and he fights with a fine thorn knife. Jing Chu Huang's family, in terms of the number of generals, is the family with the most generals in Chu State, and this Huang general is also a general.
General Huang stepped forward to look at Zhao Miao, and then said, "Little lady, you have a soft waist, I'm really afraid of crushing you." ”
"Weak and powerless men, I don't look down on them." Zhao Miao raised his sword and stabbed it with a sword.
With just one sword, he shut up this unscrupulous General Chu Guohuang. The Chu army was in a wail, this General Huang was also a figure who could lead ten thousand troops, but he was killed by a woman with a sword?
On the other hand, on Jiang Jue's side, tens of thousands of people cheered, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while.
"Childe, it's time to beat the drum and march." Qi Guanzhuang said.
"Don't let me do this kind of thing in the future, dirty hands," Zhao Miao said to Qi Guanzhuang with disdain, "A weak and powerless man actually asked a woman to call for battle." ”
Qi Guanzhuang smiled and didn't answer, he had also been with Zhao Miao for a while, and he naturally knew that Zhao Miao's mantra was "a man who is as soft as a weak man." ”
Jiang Jue ordered the drum to be beaten, and then he took the lead and rushed forward.
Jiang Jue's side had too few horses, and he couldn't get together a hundred, so he simply fought on foot. Gongsun Xiu also had less than 1,000 cavalry under his command, so he also chose to fight on foot.
The drums of war were beaten, and the two armies rushed together. The young disciples of the Sword Pavilion on Jiang Jue's side were all extremely brave, and they were all masters of the hundreds, and for a while, Jiang Jue's side actually had the upper hand.
Jiang Jue slashed down a Chu general with a knife and said with a smile: "Happy." ”
Qi Guanzhuang remembered the pleasure of fighting with Jiang Jue in the Nanban nightwindow Bainiuzhai, remembered the pleasure of fighting with Jiang Jue and the Chu army in Qidi, and enjoyed the pleasure of fighting side by side with Jiang Jue right now.
The size of the stone was too dazzling, and even Qi Guanzhuang, who was stronger than a normal person, only reached his ears. This reckless man did not use a heavy sword, but picked up a piece of wood, which swept the Chu army and made no one get close to him within five steps. Born with divine power, Jiang Jue remembered that when the stone hit the thick green bar tree with his body in the Qishan Sword Pavilion, it was called shock, and now it was just a small scene. It is this brave and invincible stone, which was called a small stone by Xuan Lang and Zhao Miao, and the contrast is too great.
Zhao Miao wandered on the side of the stone, Once there was a poor Chu army who was swept to the ground, she would mercilessly mend the knife, but it was a little easier.
Liu Changan and Shao Ruyi fought together, following behind the stone and fighting all the way in. The tacit understanding cultivated by the two getting along day and night made Jiang Jue almost think that the two had the same heart.
So Jiang Jue used the stone as the tip of the spear, and advanced all the way to the Chu army's military array. There are stones to open the way, and there is simply no one to stop.
Jiang Jue was still fighting in the rear, and Qi Guanzhuang was on his side. didn't see Yuchan, so Jiang Jue shouted: "Official, leave me alone, go and protect Yuchan." ”
Qi Guanzhuang was inferior in strength compared to Jiang Jue and the six of them, but this was Gongzi's order, so he had to lead people to cut them down and look for Yuchan everywhere.
"Childe, I didn't find it." Qi Guanzhuang came back and shouted in annoyance.
"General Gongsun is dead." Someone in the Chu army formation shouted.
Hearing the news of Gongsun Xiu's death, the Chu army didn't have time to think about how General Gongsun, who was obviously in the rear, died, and he had already lost his will to fight. Originally, General Huang swore to fight with his life, but he was stabbed to death by a woman with a sword, which hit the morale of the Chu army, and the death of Gongsun Xiu directly broke the morale of the Chu army.
The army without morale is like a rice without thoughts, helplessly waiting for the sickle on Jiang Jue's side to harvest their poor lives. The Chu army gave up the battle and fled in the direction of Chaiyi.
The Battle of Gaopu fell, Jiang Jue's side won a complete victory, and the Chu army left thousands of corpses and fled to Chaiyi. Jiang Jue didn't chase anymore, he was thinking about a serious question, how to feed so many mouths?
"How did Gongsun Xiu die?" Qi Guanzhuang asked.
Zhao Miao didn't think about it and replied: "My little junior sister is proficient in the art of assassination, she must have done it." ”
Sure enough, Yuchan came out of the dense forest with a moon-stepping dagger, and a few blades of grass were stained in her hair.
"Don't move." Jiang Jue stopped her.
Yuchan looked at Jiang Jue inexplicably, Jiang Jue stretched out her hand, and she closed her eyes tightly.
Although the battle fell, these 10,000 mouths had just eaten breakfast, and they were hungry at this time, Jiang Jue thought about it but had no clue.
"General." Someone shouted.
Jiang Jue led a few people out of the city, and saw hundreds of people coming from the direction of Xinli, some leading cattle and pigs, and some picking grain and rice.
"Thank you." Jiang Jue thanked him, and the materials sent by these Qi people just solved the urgent need.
"The general is fighting with everyone in front, and we people have to do something." An old man on crutches said.
"How do you call it?" Jiang Jue asked.
The old man replied: "The old man's surname is Bai, a pair of sons, one is named Lin, and the other is famous. ”
Jiang Jue was in awe, this old man turned out to be the father of Bai Zhi?
"Lin'er died in southern Xinjiang, and Zhi'er died in Quanguan, and my old man is proud of them." The old man burst into tears.
Only then did Jiang Jue notice that there was not a single sturdy man among these hundreds of people, all of them were women, children and old people.
"Jue Dai I Qi Di robe, thank you Bai Lao, thank you." Jiang Jue bowed,
Bai Lao took the child next to him and said: "This is my grandson, I will send it to the general in two years, my Bai family, there is no one of them." ”
"What's your name?" Jiang Jue asked.
"Bai Ge."
