Chapter 208: After the Great War
Wei Qionglou was stabbed by the thief, bent down and covered his abdomen with his hands, fortunately, he had already ridden on the horse, and when he heard the sergeant ask, he only said "Turn around, go!" β
Lan Ziyi commanded the soldiers to turn their horses' heads in the thief formation, but in this way, the advantage of the cavalry soldiers in the attack came to naught, and the thieves who reacted gradually rushed forward.
Tao Zhutu turned around while guarding Lan Ziyi, and asked:
"Why didn't the young master let us rush over and break through the thief formation?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"Can you guarantee that there are only archers behind the thieves? The thieves are in the dark, and once they rush to the front, we will be attacked from both sides. β
ζ‘θΏ½ε says:
"But now we will be besieged by thieves when we turn around among the thieves!"
ε °εδΉ says:
"That's better than not being able to escape!"
The soldiers struggled to turn their horses' heads in the thieves, and at the same time drew their knives to kill the approaching thieves, but even so they were inevitably close to the thieves, and the soldiers of the Jihu battalion and the thieves and infantry were mixed together, and it was difficult to move an inch, and some thieves raised their knives and prepared to slash the horse's legs.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting behind everyone, and the archers who had been hiding behind the thieves rushed out of the darkness and fled in all directions, and the spearmen guarding the archers and other thieves with short arms wanted to turn their spears to deal with the threat behind them.
Lan Ziyi looked back, it turned out that it was Tao Zhuhu who made a detour from afar and led the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion to rush out from behind the thief formation, after all, the cavalry is a cavalry after all, and the mobility is better than the infantry of the thief, but it can run away with the thief.
Tao Zhuhu led the soldiers to open the way with the sabers in their hands, not only crushing the archers of the thieves, but also rushing all the way to Lan Ziyi to disperse the thieves and infantry surrounding Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi and his subordinates took this opportunity to boost their horsepower and follow Tao Zhuhu to speed up and rush out.
Lan Ziyi rode on the horse and said to Tao Zhuhu from afar:
"Big brother came in time!"
Tao Zhuhu turned back to Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou seized the opportunity, I naturally have to escort Wei Hou."
Then the two armies joined forces as one, and broke through the crowd of thieves with great speed.
The spearmen who originally protected the two wings of the thief death squad saw that there were cavalry behind him to break through, so he hurriedly turned the head of the gun and pressed it back, preparing to intercept Lan Ziyi and them, who had fled.
It's just that the whole army fights and moves the whole body, and the effectiveness of the infantry is reflected in the cooperation between the various phalanxes holding different weapons, and the cavalry has a high degree of mobility and impact ability, so the cavalry and infantry combat cavalry are generally the active side,
The most important reason why the infantry arranged by Lei Youde scared Lan Ziyi back and defeated Wei Qionglou, who rushed to charge, was that Lei Youde's troop allocation and formation arrangement completely cut off the road for Lan Ziyi to take the initiative to attack.
But now after Wei Qionglou rushed into battle, the death squad scuffled, Lan Ziyi charged again, the formation of the thieves has been disrupted, and the decision of these U-turn pikemen members cannot be said to be wrong, but they forgot that there is still a guerrilla army outside the peach deer who has been wandering outside the formation, and the pikemen turned around and attacked Lan Ziyi behind them, so who will their backs be handed over to defend?
Tao Zhulu, who was riding and shooting arrows outside the thief formation, saw the thief pikeman turn around, and immediately seized the opportunity to lead his soldiers to charge towards the side of the thief, and the five hundred tiger battalion cavalry smashed into the thief front like a hammer, without the interference of the spear, the impact was extremely smooth, and immediately tore out a huge gap in the thief line.
Tao Zhulu even shouted at Lan Ziyi, who was seeking a breakthrough in the thief array:
"Wei Hou! Come this way! β
Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhuhu have always been paying attention to Tao Zhulu's guerrilla army, and the moment Tao Zhulu launched an attack, the two ordered the whole army to rush towards the gap opened by Tao Zhulu. Only this moment completely broke through the bandit line, and the whole army rushed out of the bandit encirclement.
The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion finally withdrew safely after killing a round in the thief formation, and after returning to the position they had set out from, Lan Ziyi and his soldiers could finally take a breath and rest for a while.
Tao Zhutu said to Lan Ziyi at this time:
"Young master, the thieves have been washed away by us, now is a good time to annihilate them in one fell swoop, as long as we rush a few more times, we will definitely be able to crush the thieves."
Lan Ziyi heard what Tao Zhutu said and looked back at the thief array,
At this time, Tao Zhuhu said:
"The formation of the thieves is chaotic but the morale is still there, the organization is perfect, Wei Hou, you see that the thieves have begun to reorganize the formation.
Lei Youde is scheming, willing to arrange manpower to stay in the battle, and can rest assured that he will retreat, he must have made a full plan, even if he can win the battle again, it will not be good for our army. β
ζ‘η«ιΉΏ also said:
"To the east of the thieves is the army, but there are no reinforcements in Xiangcheng, our army.
We will not do any damage to the thieves if we wipe out all the thieves in front of us, but if the thieves send someone back to help us, we will be in trouble. β
Although Lan Ziyi's impact was fierce just now, it was mainly to save people, and he did not take the opportunity to kill the thief Kou's mind to command the battle, and now the thief Kou is rearranging and re-arranging under the command of the leader of the army, seeing that those death squads and spearmen are about to return to the way they were when they faced Wei Qionglou just now.
Just now, the peach chasing tiger went deep behind the enemy and was able to kill a horse pistol, which shows that the thieves do have no reinforcements in the short term, and it is not impossible to fight now.
Just when Lan Ziyi was thinking, there was a "plop" sound not far from him, obviously someone fell off the horse, and then a sergeant cried:
"General!"
Lan Ziyi's heart sank when he heard the sergeant's cry, and he hurriedly dismounted and trotted over,
squeezed to the front and saw that Wei Qionglou had fallen to the ground, being held in his arms by a sergeant of the Jihu Battalion,
Wei Qionglou's face was pale, his hands were covering his right side of his abdomen, blood was dripping, and he could even see his internal organs exposed.
Lan Ziyi was taken aback when he saw this, and asked:
"What's wrong with General Wei?"
The sergeant who hugged Wei Qionglou cried:
"The general was stabbed by a thief when he got on his horse just now."
Tao Zhuhu also dismounted at this time and ran to Wei Qionglou's side and knelt down, holding Wei Qionglou's hand and choked and couldn't speak.
"Qionglou, you ......"
Although Wei Qionglou's face was bloodless, his breathing was unusually even, and his expression was very calm, he looked at Tao Zhuhu and said:
"I disobeyed the order of the Marquis of Wei, led the team to attack without authorization, and killed hundreds of brothers, and should be beheaded according to military law, the crime is unforgivable, and now I am dead at the hands of the enemy, which can be regarded as innocent."
Then Wei Qionglou set his eyes on Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou is shrewd and resolute, wise and brave, and I am relieved to have you in command of the remaining brothers of the Jihu Battalion."
Then Wei Qionglou said loudly:
"You guard the guards well, and in the future, obey the commanders of the guards,
Wei Qionglou sacrificed the lives of his brothers to vent his personal anger, damn it, there is nothing to be sorry for. β
Zhou Wei's soldiers were all sergeants brought out by Wei Qionglou, and they all whimpered and cried when they heard this, not knowing what to say.
Tao Zhuhu held Wei Qionglou's hand and asked with tears in his eyes:
"What is there to arrange for Qiong Lou?"
Wei Qionglou shook his head and said:
"The old father and mother in the family have passed away, and there is nothing to worry about.
There is only one younger brother, who led troops in the forbidden army, and is now stationed on the front line of Yuyang, which can be regarded as a career.
I don't have anything to worry about. β
Then Wei Qionglou looked at the sky, his pupils gradually dilated, and said slowly:
"Mr. Xiaozhi, I am really a horse leather shroud today."
After saying that, Wei Qionglou closed his eyes and swallowed his breath.
Seeing Wei Qionglou's breath, all the soldiers in the Jihu Camp sobbed.
Lan Ziyi looked at Wei Qionglou and sighed, then said:
"Wrap up and go back to the city according to the rules."
Then Lan Ziyi walked back to the front of the battle and got on his horse,
On the side, Peach and Peach Rabbit seemed to know what was going on, and didn't ask much.
Tao Zhutu just said lightly:
"Young Master, are you still fighting?"
Lan Ziyi looked at the soldiers who were sobbing behind him, and then looked at the thieves who were already waiting in front of him, and sighed:
"Enough people have died today, let's evacuate."
Peach Rabbit said:
"Young master, the mourning soldiers will win, and it is just the opportunity for the soldiers to destroy the thieves when they have the same hatred for the enemy."
Lan Ziyi adjusted the horse again and again and said:
"It's true that the mourning soldiers will win, but the soldiers are angry, and they are easy to be impulsive.
Let's go. β
As he spoke, he took the lead and retreated to Xiang Cheng.
Seeing this, the Tao brothers also knew that Lan Ziyi had made up their minds, so they didn't say anything, but just commanded the soldiers to withdraw to the city with Lan Ziyi.
On the way back to the city, the soldiers were silent, and who would not be happy when the Lord was dead,
Lan Ziyi was still cautious, excluding Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu from personally leading the scouts to scatter the investigation,
However, the thieves obviously did not have the ability to continue to arrange ambushes on this road, and the soldiers returned to the city without any turmoil.
Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo have always stopped at the east gate to watch the distance,
Seeing Lan Ziyi and them returning to the city, the father and son hurriedly went down to the city to greet them.
Seeing that the soldiers who returned to the city were depressed, some people sobbed and thought that Lan Ziyi had an accident, and after figuring out that Wei Qionglou was killed, the father and son sighed and arranged for someone to prepare the coffin.
As soon as he entered the city, Lan Ziyi dismounted and lined up, called Gao Yanzong and said:
"Although Lord Gao is a civil official, but today's battle is wartime, you don't listen to my orders to go to war without authorization, and you lose the lives of many soldiers, what should I do?"
Gao Yanzong knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said:
"May it be sent by the guard!"
Lan Ziyi looked at Gao Yanzong and said:
"Thinking that you are not the commander of the army, and you are only coerced for the sake of forgiving you from death,
Reward you with fifty military sticks to correct military discipline. β
Gao Yanzong got up when he heard it, and left with the executioner without saying a word.
At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi came to Lan Ziyi's side and said:
"Wei Hou tonight's battle has been in the arms of Lei Youde, the thieves in order to avoid our army reinforcements, panicked and fled eastward, I expect Lei Youde to defeat Wei Hou after the rush to retreat eastward, now the thieves behind must be defenseless,
Now that there are plenty of horses in Xiangcheng, I have picked up the cavalry of the forbidden army from the soldiers defending the city, and I also ask the Marquis of Wei to lead his troops to chase and kill the thieves, so as not to miss the opportunity. β
Lan Ziyi had already gotten up and was about to go back when Qiu Xiaozhi was talking, and after hearing Qiu Xiaozhi's words, he just thought about it, and then said:
"There are enough people dying tonight, don't ask for more hardship, everyone should rest."
As he spoke, he mounted his horse and withdrew to the side of the government.
