Chapter 8: Murong retreats
With the three-way drum of "dong", "dong" and "dong" in front of Bai Wuye's tent, Mo Feng realized that he had been chatting with Bai Wuye for a long time.
"Is there a military discussion?" Mo Feng asked.
Bai Wuye nodded: "That's right, although it is to force him to withdraw from the army, he still has to arrange it after all." ”
"Then the subordinate will retire first." Mo Feng was very interested, this kind of high-level general meeting was not qualified to participate in this kind of senior general meeting, and he was not qualified to participate.
"Don't worry, I'm looking for Brother Mo to come today, mainly for this military discussion. Presumably I won the generals of the Jiejun Army, Brother Mo has only seen one person in Sha Jian, and today I will introduce others to Brother Mo to get to know. ”
Mo Feng wanted to refuse, but seeing the unfathomable look on Bai Wuye's face, he understood that he must have other arrangements, so he agreed.
In a short time, the battalion leaders will gather in the tent.
"See the General!" Everyone worshiped together.
"No need to be polite! There are two important things to do when the generals are summoned this time: first, this afternoon, this afternoon, the general will hunt Murong Ke in front of Yangping Pass, and each will go back to make arrangements, and there must be no mistakes; These two are to introduce one person to the generals. ”
As soon as Bai Wuye finished speaking, all the generals looked at each other, and their generals usually put the most important thing at the end, and when to introduce someone to them was more important than the "hunting" in the afternoon.
While the generals were puzzled, a man in the captain's armor came out of the back tent.
"Oh! It turned out to be Captain Feng! Sha Jian shouted, causing the rest of the generals to look at him.
"Why, Lao Sha, it turns out that you know!" A burly general with a resolute face said.
"Didn't you kill those thousand wolf riders yesterday, this Captain Feng is the guide of my Feng Battalion!" Sha Jian touched his head a little embarrassed.
The generals nodded, although the matter was a secret in the army. But among them, it had already spread that the Xuanfeng battalion ran all night and destroyed the wolf rider with the method of fire attack. I just didn't expect that there would be such a person.
Bai Wuye nodded: "The purpose of calling the generals here this time is to introduce Captain Feng to you." Come, Captain Feng, and all the generals know each other. ”
Mo Feng walked down, saluted one by one, and the generals did not shirk, and also reported to the house one by one and returned the salute.
The burly general who spoke just now was called Tang Wei, the commander of the forward battalion; With a cold face, it was Xue Tong, the commander of the pro-guard battalion; The short stature is the rear camp master general Tian Qian; It seems that there is no sense of presence in the scout camp leader Bai Zhi.
"Okay, we've all met! Let's talk about the right thing, in this battle, all the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion have been richly rewarded, but only Captain Feng, because he has been in our army for a short time, should not be rewarded. But just now when I was talking to Captain Feng, I had an idea! Bai Wuye smiled mysteriously, "Feng Mo Tingfeng, from now on, you will be the captain of my Shengjie Army, and you will follow me to counsel the military aircraft." ”
Captain Zan, others may not know, but Mo Feng should not be too familiar. During the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan appointed Lu Su as the commander of the Zanjun Military Academy of the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu, and the position was equivalent to that of the modern chief of the general staff.
Bai Wuye is such a big hand! Mo Feng was really taken aback in his heart.
The generals listened to Bai Wuye's order, although they were also very surprised, but when they saw that Sha Jian had already gone up to say goodbye, they were embarrassed to be left behind, so they stepped forward to say hello.
At this time, Yangping Guanxianbei Hu Yingzhai, Murong Ke was also holding a military meeting in order to withdraw the army.
The late autumn afternoon does not have the warmth of early spring, the heat of midsummer, the severe cold of winter, only the biting bleakness.
The 20,000 soldiers of the Shengjie Army wore the eye-catching red helmets and red armor of the Tianxing Empire in front of Yangping Pass, and their morale was like a rainbow, and the soldiers were like tigers. Tang Wei, the former commander of the army, stood at the front of the army on a horse, staring at the Xianbei Hu cavalry in front of him.
In front of Yangping Pass, Xianbei Hu's soldiers and horses also came almost at the same time. The scimitar cavalry, or geese or cones, came in the same way, as if there was a magical magic hand in the sky, so that they were lined up in front of Yangping Pass in a neat and orderly manner. From a distance, although the black oppression is as far as the eye can see, the military array is like a castle with strong walls, and there are murderous people in and out.
"Murong Ke does have two hits. Tang has been in the army for half his life, when has he ever seen a cavalry in such a battle? Tang Wei was secretly frightened when he saw it.
At this time, the soldiers in the rear battalion of the Shengjie Army quickly set up a battle platform, and a white flag fluttered high. Mo Feng followed Bai Wuye to the cloud platform and raised his eyes to look into the distance with his hands, and couldn't help frowning a few times, and said in his heart: The army is majestic and there are many people, and the commander Ruoding is well-trained...... Murong Ke's soldiers and horses are really worthy of the name of elite, and looking at the momentum of this military array, it is vaguely a few points stronger than the Shengjie army.
With the two armies equal in numbers, seeing the opponent's formation and bearing, even Mo Feng felt that if the two armies really went to war, the outcome would become very unpredictable. looked at Bai Wuye next to him, and sure enough, his face was not very good.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides were quickly assembled. On the battlefield of Yangping Pass within a radius of dozens of miles, 40,000 troops were facing each other.
"Woo-woo-"
"Knock-knock-"
The horn of Xianbei Hu and the war drums of the Shengjie army were played together. The officers and men of the two armies began to shout and boost morale. The Xianbei people used to blow the sharp whistle to drive away the cattle, sheep and beasts, and beat the armor and saddle rhythmically with the scimitar, making a rather peculiar rhythm but very wild sound. On the side of Shengjiejun, the golden drums sounded in unison and sang "Horse Stepping on Yanran"!
Batch of iron armor, carrying a long knife.
The battle with the son is long.
Fight with the enemy, die and live together.
Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.
Stepping on the swallow and chasing the beast.
Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly.
At this time, the battle flags of Xianbei Hu's 20,000 troops were unfurled, and the iron cavalry suddenly returned to tranquility. Immediately, iron horsemen arranged like iron hitting the city wall poured out of the middle like a tidal wave, and "walked out" of a huge military tent.
A closer look turned out to be a large tent large enough to accommodate a hundred people for a banquet at the same time, built on a huge roulette wheel, and then in front of the tent were eighteen blood-red sweat and blood horses, dragged out of the army array. On the left and right sides of the tent, there are strong knight guards, and the top of the tent floats a large banner with an eagle's head that seems to have been dyed with blood, flying loudly.
Including Tang Wei, all the officers and soldiers of the Shengjie Army saw this strange thing for the first time, and they were very puzzled while being vigilant.
The big tent slowly walked forward to the center of the two armies and stopped, surrounded by no more than a hundred cavalry guards. At this moment, the big tent was pulled open by two armor soldiers from the middle, and one person came out of it.
Snow armor and red robes, red as fire! He and the blood-red sweat and blood BMW in front of the tent complemented each other, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Tang Wei looked at the man from a distance and narrowed his eyes, "Who could it be?" So bold, he dared to run to the center of the two armies to spread wild! ”
At this time, the red-armored man raised his hand, and a pawn in front of the tent trotted to the front of the Shengjie army's formation, and said: "Our commander Murong Ke, please answer your army commander Bai Wuye before the battle!" ”
"Nonsense!" Tang Wei reprimanded angrily, "The two armies are fighting to the death, who has the kung fu to talk nonsense with you?" Let Murong Ke get out of here quickly, otherwise Ben will definitely shoot him with arrows! ”
The little pawn was not annoyed, and said leisurely: "Who are you?" Presumably it won't be General White. ”
"How so?" Tang Wei sneered.
"General Bai is from a famous family, elegant and elegant, it must not be so rude and rude as you. A hero who can become a natural enemy of life and death with our General Murong, and who can cherish each other for a long time, is definitely not a character like you. The pawn had clearly prepared his words, and spoke eloquently as if he had recited them.
Tang Wei didn't know that this must be the rhetoric that Murong Ke told him, and he hated it at the moment, and said in his heart: This damn Murong Ke, if you want to retreat, you will retreat, if you want to start a war, you will start a war, what are you doing with this formation.
At this time, Bai Wuye came from the Shengjie army formation and walked between the two, and said with a slight smile: "Lead me to see Murong Ke." ”
The pawn glanced at Bai Wuye, stroked his chest and bent down to give a salute, and said respectfully: "This must be the real General Bai - please!" ”
Bai Wuye had already taken Mo Feng and a few guards cavalry to the big tent.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies watched their commanders come together in front of the battle, and they all raised their hearts to their throats.
Bai Wuye rode his horse and ran to the big tent, and saw Murong Ke, who was in blood robe and red armor, holding his hands on the railing, his eyes blood-red, like a cheetah that could pounce on him at any time, staring at him.
"It's been a long time, General Bai." Murong Ke stood up straight, his hands in front of his chest, and he gave a fist salute that was customary for imperial martial artists.
The corners of Bai Wuye's mouth lifted and smiled lightly, turned over and dismounted, and returned the salute, "It's been a long time." ”
"Tell me?" Murong Ke's head tilted slightly, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Bai Wuye, and the corners of his mouth also outlined a provocative smile.
"As you wish." Bai Wuye smiled indifferently, and then left the personal guard cavalry to walk towards the big tent with only Mo Feng.
However, the cavalry under Murong Ke did not appreciate it and stopped Mo Feng.
"Compared to me, maybe he's the one you want to see the most!" Bai Wuye smiled, with Murong Ke's ingenuity, he definitely understood what he meant.
"Oh! Let him in! At this time, the expression on Murong Ke's face became very exciting.
Hearing their own general say this, they had no reason to stop it, so they let Mo Feng enter the account together.
Bai Wuye pointed at Mo Feng and said, "Let me introduce, this is Captain Feng Mo Feng under my account." Without him, I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you, an old friend. ”
Although Bai Wuye said it very vaguely, Murong Ke still heard it, this is the person who spoiled his good deeds.
Looking at Mo Feng's beard, Murong Ke smiled disdainfully: "I didn't expect my good deeds to be bad in the hands of someone like you." ”
Murong Ke's contempt was so obvious, Mo Feng was not blind, how could he not see it.
"Feng Mo, the Orion of Ziyang Town, has seen General Murong, and thanks to the mercy of the general's men, Mo Feng can leave a life. So, I gave General Murong a few big gifts!
It was I who followed the wolf riders and told the general of their whereabouts; I am the one who led the men against the wolves and burned them to charred; I was the one who shot down the messenger eagle! I don't know if General Murong will be satisfied with these gifts! ”
After speaking, Mo Feng could see that Murong Ke's face became very hideous, his eyes were full of anger, and his two hands were clenched into fists, like an angry beast, as if he wanted to devour Mo Feng alive.
Seeing Murong Ke like this, Bai Wuye didn't mention how happy he was, he had fought with him many times, how could he ever see him suffer such a big loss and only sulk.
Bai Wuye forcibly suppressed his smile and said, "General Murong is angry, I don't know if I have received the gifts and letters that the general has given you!" ”
Murong Ke stood up, pointed at Bai Wuye and Mo Feng and said angrily, "You guys...... You deceive people so much! ”
Murong Ke's personal guard cavalry saw that his commander was so angry, he pulled out his scimitar, and wanted to kill Bai Wuye and Mo Feng, but Bai Wuye's personal guards were not vegetarians, and they confronted Murong Ke's personal guards with their swords.
Murong Ke looked at those guards, his eyes narrowed, and shouted, "Presumptuous! Don't quit yet! ”
The guards retreated, though reluctantly.
Seeing Murong Ke's personal guards retreating, Bai Wuye also waved his hand. The guards were ordered by their own generals, and they retreated.
Bai Wuye also stood up and said to Murong Ke: "It's too much to deceive people! You Murong Ke are also qualified to say that you deceive people too much, don't forget what good things you have done. Do you Murong Ke want to be a bitch and build an archway? ”
Being sneered at like this by Bai Wuye, how could he Murong Ke endure it on weekdays. Now, I am in a disadvantageous situation, which can be described as a man-made sword, and I am a fish and meat, and I can't bear it.
"Bai Wuye, count you ruthless! Okay, I'll retire! General Bai asked your army to get out of the way, and our army immediately withdrew to Liangzhou! Murong Ke sat down, his words full of sadness.
Bai Wuye and Mo Feng were stunned for a moment, they hadn't said anything yet, and Murong Ke took the initiative to ask for a retreat.
Bai Wuye was not verbose, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll order someone to get out of the way!" But what do you say to your soldiers, they all think the decisive battle is coming! ”
"How can I say that I have my own measure, I don't need you to worry about me in vain. This retreat is not that I, Murong Ke, lost to you Bai Wuye, half of me lost to Captain Feng behind you, and half of me lost to Yu Wenpo! ”
After Murong Ke finished speaking, he walked straight out of the big tent, came to the Xianbei Hu army formation, and knelt down towards his soldiers: "My brothers Murong Ke, I lied to you. We didn't leave the city for a decisive battle with the forces of the Celestial Star Empire. In this battle, we have already lost the opportunity, and there is no point in continuing to fight. I plead with my brethren to come home with me! ”
The generals of the battalions who knew the real battle situation saw Murong Ke kneeling on the ground, and they also knelt on the ground. Although they knew what the real purpose of going out of the city was this time, they didn't expect that Murong Ke would tell the whole army in such a way.
The unwitting Xianbei sergeants saw this, and although they didn't know what was happening, they also knelt down. The god of war in their hearts, General Murong, had personally told them that they didn't have to fight this battle and could go home.
"Go home! Go home...... "The voices of the Xianbei soldiers "going home" came and went, and they were going home.
Bai Wuye led the army to watch Murong Ke's 20,000 troops out of Yangping Pass, and personally led the army to "gift" Murong Ke out of Hanzhong.
At this point, the battle of Yangping Pass, which lasted for more than half a month, finally ended under the compromise of both sides.
