Chapter 582: Wu Sangui's Sorrow
At the foot of Tower Mountain, the waist-high dead grass in the four fields was crushed to the ground by the thick snow, and there was no living creature in the white expanse at a glance. In addition to snow or snow, the first heavy snow after the beginning of winter should have been gratifying, but at this moment, the Dongjiang Army, which was advancing in the wind and snow, showed a sad look on their faces.
Following the plague in Tashanwei, the Dongjiang Army suffered heavy losses again, and in a quiet moment, a whole hundred people from Bai Zong to his subordinates were attacked and died. This situation in Liaodong, which had already calmed down the war, shocked everyone's hearts.
A short walk ahead is the destination, a guard built by Tashanwei. The original site was no longer usable due to the outbreak of the plague. Unexpectedly, Tashanwei, which had just been built for less than two months, had another large-scale death and injury incident.
"Full speed forward, drive ......" Chen Jisheng had already vaguely seen the Tashanwei in front of him, he had already begun to wait to get up, and immediately urged the horse to gallop.
"Full speed ahead!" Liu Guangzuo yelled at the cavalry behind him, and then ran wildly behind Chen Jisheng.
"......Driving" 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army began to run wildly, but helplessly, the snow that began to be muddy after being trampled on was not able to get up quickly.
It seemed that Tashanwei was not far away, but Chen Jisheng and the others still took a whole hour to arrive. After turning over and dismounting, Chen Jisheng and Liu Guangzuo quickly rushed into the guard, and the Dongjiang army, which was one step ahead of them, immediately came to greet them.
The few hundred generals who led the army saluted Chen Jisheng, Chen Jisheng nodded with a cold face, and then asked coldly: "Where are the dead brothers?" ”
"General, in the lobby inside." A hundred general managers immediately led Chen Jisheng.
There were two large fires burning in the lobby of the university, but they still couldn't resist the chill pouring in from the outside. There were a hundred cold corpses lying side by side on the ground, which were the 100 officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who had been dead for almost a day.
Chen Jisheng took off the cloak on his body, took off his helmet and strode forward, and a young face came into view, and a sharp arrow directly penetrated his throat at his throat. There were also multiple knife wounds elsewhere on his body, and judging from these, it was obvious that this young man should have fought with the sneak attacker first, and was finally killed by the sharp arrow.
Chen Jisheng's face was expressionless, he was very angry before he came, but at this moment he was unusually calm. I looked at all the corpses in one go, and all of them were fatally killed by an arrow at the end, without exception.
"Repair all their bodies and bury them. Handle all future affairs in accordance with the highest standards in the army, and there must be no negligence. Chen Jisheng commanded the two lieutenants behind him in a deep voice.
"Yes, General!" The two lieutenants hurriedly agreed, and then beckoned people to start arranging the aftermath.
Chen Jisheng turned around and left the hall, Liu Guangzuo followed closely behind, and asked in confusion: "Big brother, they were all killed by an arrow in the end, from this point of view, among the enemy troops who attacked us this time, there should be masters of arrows." ”
Chen Jisheng nodded and said: "Yes, and there should be a lot, it seems that we should report clearly to the chief soldier and ask him to let Brother Adou come here." ”
Liu Guangzuo agreed: "Yes, when it comes to experts in using arrows, it has to be Brother Adou." But this back and forth will take a month, to say the least, can we only stare like this now? ”
Chen Jisheng smiled bitterly: "The mountains are covered with heavy snow outside, and it is very difficult for the army to march on the plains. It would not be wise to venture into Tower Hill in such weather to search for the enemy, not to mention the fact that the enemy is not aware of the current situation and the archers who are hiding in the shadows, all of which require us to be careful to deal with. ”
If there were no bow and arrow masters among the enemy army, Chen Jisheng naturally didn't need to be so cautious. Now that he understands that there are bow and arrow masters among the enemy army, he naturally does not dare to act rashly, and when the enemy is dark and I am clear, impulse is the devil.
Although Chen Jisheng was extremely angry in his heart, as a general, he had to think about the lives of his subordinates.
Liu Guangzuo was obviously not as calm as Chen Jisheng, and when he heard that he really had to wait next, he immediately became anxious: "Big brother, you can't just do nothing!" If you don't give me 3,000 brothers, I'll go to the mountains and inquire into the mountains. ”
Chen Jisheng has worked with Liu Guangzuo for many years, so he naturally understands Liu Guangzuo's temper, and he immediately said with a serious face: "This matter is not negotiable, if you dare to mess around without my consent, there is no need to talk about brotherhood." ”
Liu Guangzuo was stunned for a moment, then he knew that Chen Jisheng was serious, hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Okay, everything is up to the eldest brother." ”
In the face of Chen Jisheng's seriousness, Liu Guangzuo didn't dare to come nonsense again, if he wanted to go crazy, Chen Jisheng was no worse than him at all.
The matter had to be reported to Mao Wenlong to make the final decision, and Chen Jisheng and they could only be careful during this period.
In the depths of Tower Mountain, on the edge of a cliff, there is a rather hidden cave, in which there is a faint flash of burning fire.
In the shelter at the entrance of the cave, there were several golden soldiers who looked vigilant, and there was a rather large hall inside, and the fire burning in the middle made a crackling sound. Wu Sangui sat beside the fire with a solemn face, and opposite him was a general of the golden soldiers.
In such a cold winter, this person was only wearing a leather coat, with a battle armor on the outside, and his strong body showed amazing explosive power. This person is one of the only two remaining lieutenants around Huang Taiji, Wanyan Gusu.
The two sat opposite each other, but they kept silent, and from the expressions of the two, it was not difficult to see that there should have been a big dispute just now.
After a long time, Wu Sangui looked up at the indifferent face and said coldly: "General, if you act recklessly like this, then the king can only report it to the Great Khan." ”
Wanyan Gusu squinted his eyes and Wu Sangui smiled shamefully: "If you want to report it, go away, General Ben doesn't care at all." This sneak attack directly killed a hundred people of the Dongjiang Army, and the Great Khan would definitely be rewarded heavily when he knew it. ”
"Humph!"
Wu Sangui snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Reward, presumably the generals haven't figured out the mission we came here this time. The Great Khan wants us to hold back the Dongjiang army and prevent them from attacking the steppe. And it's good for you to do this kind of thing directly as soon as you come, which not only exposes our existence, but also directly disturbs the Dongjiang Army. If nothing else, it will not take a month for the whole of Liaodong to begin a large-scale search for our traces. ”
"So what? The general of the Dongjiang Army didn't pay attention to it, and he would kill one of the generals. Su Hao laughed in a dry voice.
Wu Sangui's heart ached slightly, and when he came back to Liaodong to fight against the Dongjiang Army, Wu Sangui was unwilling in his heart. Now that he has met such a stunned general, he is even more uncertain about the task that Huang Taiji asked him to complete this time.
