Chapter 16 The Red Armor Heavenly Strategy Descends from the Sky
After everyone walked out of the tomb along the thief cave of Captain Jin, it was already dreary and dreary, the sky was dim, and the drizzle was damp, but they were all dressed in broken armor, holding divine weapons in their hands, and their expressions were solemn, just like Shura who crawled out of the ground!
They don't know why this Tiance army died here, they don't know who is sleeping in this mysterious tomb, and they don't know what is going on in it, they only know that the highest respect for the Tiance army did not let these swords and armor decay with the corpse, but let these swords and armor see the light of day again, so that the name of Tiance was once again deafening!
Caesar was a little confused, among their tribes, only brave and warlike warriors, with prey, human heads, with real valuables, and even oppression, can win the respect and support of others, and Xu Zhen just self-mutilated his palm, and in a few words, let these Jianghu people throw their heads and spill their blood!
"Tang people are so strange..."Caesar muttered in a low voice, seeing that Xu Zhen's left hand was still red, he couldn't help but subconsciously cut the corner of his white clothes and stuffed it into Xu Zhen's hand.
Xu Zhen was slightly startled, turned around, but saw Caesar scolded angrily: "Stupid Tang people, hands are used to hold knives, not to kill themselves, and there will be a war in a while, see if you are still angry!" ”
Xu Zhen pinched the corner of his clothes, sent it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, glanced up and down Keesar narrowly, but tucked the corner of his clothes into the gap in his arm armor, and then pulled Kaisa aside, spread out his left palm and showed her.
Caesar's eyes widened, as if he had found something, he grabbed Xu Zhen's palm and wiped it, the flesh palm was intact, and the red was just a copper armor rust mixed with water traces, thinking of Xu Zhen's arrogant appearance when he spoke, Caesar was suddenly disdainful, and scolded fiercely: "Cunning Tang people!" ”
Xu Zhen didn't care, he smiled, but his eyes extended to the mountain road below the hillside, there were no pedestrians on the road at this time, but he looked at the chaotic and dense horseshoe prints on the road, which had confirmed Li Deqian's speculation that this road was the way Murong Xiaobu came!
Regardless of whether the cavalry of Murong Xiao's department trampled on the mining area, they would definitely retreat from here, although the soldiers of Chen Wang's battalion responded to the battle in a hurry, but there were mine slaves blocking the formation, it would never be easy for Murong Xiao to break through, even if they won a big victory, they would have to be afraid of the Liangzhou camp more than ten miles away.
Once the military situation is reported to Liangzhou, the light cavalry will start at full speed, and the distance of more than ten miles will not consume too much time, and it will be difficult for Murong Xiao's troops to retreat at that time, so Murong Xiao must have made a good calculation from the beginning, and he will accept it when he sees it, and after a while, he will definitely return the same way, and after passing this hillside, he will be scattered in the vast meadow, so that ** cannot pursue.
Xu Zhen has less than twenty people here, and Li Deqian's strength is not enough, even if he wears gold silk soft armor, he can't help but tremble, and his combat strength is not even five.
Zhang Jiunian and the others are all heroes who fight alone, and the perennial life in the mining area has not only worn down their bodies, but has made them more tenacious and strong, but if Murong Xiao's cavalry still retains a certain number, it is not something they can stop.
In fact, Xu Zhen didn't want to stop Murong Xiao's cavalry, he just had confidence in the intelligence network of ** and believed in the Liangzhou battalion, so he was squatting here, wanting to pick something cheap.
Where would Murong Xiao have thought that there was a hateful rival waiting to pick up a bargain on the way back, the Murong cavalry who thought they would come and go like the wind was now deep in the siege of the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, he was in conflict everywhere but there was no way out, his heart was so anxious that he was on fire, seeing his brothers being shot down one by one, he couldn't cry if he wanted to!
Looking at Zhang Shenzhi, or the light cavalry actually led by Hou Poyu, Murong Xiao was furious, he originally thought that Xu Zhen was just an example among the Tang people, but now he began to wonder if every Tang person was so hateful.
He thought that his surprise attack would be seamless, but he didn't expect that these hundreds of light cavalry would rush to the aid so quickly, how did he know that this was all the credit of the scouts sent by Hou Poyu to track Xu Zhen!
If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for his bad luck, Hou Poyu is in need of a military merit to be used as a stepping stone and stepping stone, so that his son Hou Junji can justifiably transfer him back to the military department!
Hou Poyu's eyes were red, the horizontal knife in his hand was waving like the wind, and the war horse under his crotch was even more neighing and galloping, and after forcing Murong Xiao back, he slashed again, cutting off half of the head of a fallen horse A Chai!
Murong Xiao saw that the other party had gained the upper hand, and Chen Wang of the mine camp organized the defenders again, hiding behind the mine slaves and constantly releasing cold arrows, and the cavalry of Murong Xiao fell off their horses one after another, and more died under the cold arrows than against Hou Poyu's light cavalry!
At this time, Murong Xiao could only admit it, and even felt that this light cavalry had been guarding outside the mine camp early, just waiting for them to steal the camp!
"Withdrawn! Evacuate! Murong Xiao's scimitar fell, slashed a Tang cavalryman off his horse, brandished his saber, and shouted with his mouth open, Ah Chai, who had already been frightened by the cold arrows, retreated, Hou Poyu was full of spirits, and he was enjoying the killing, and with an order, the light cavalry was another cover-up and chased out of the mine camp!
The situation of the melee between the two sides finally broke down, and they formed camps, Murong Xiao fled frantically in front with more than a hundred horsemen, while Hou Poyu took more than 300 light cavalry, and continued to cover up and kill like a whirlwind!
There are scattered stone mountains on the periphery of the mine camp, which is the best cover for Murong Xiao's troops when they are raided, but when they escape, they become the biggest obstacle, and under this barrier, Hou Po's light cavalry left thirty or forty heads!
Murong Xiao took the remaining dozens of horses through the stone mountain, fled in embarrassment, and regretted it, if it weren't for his own earnestness, he wouldn't let his brothers die here in vain.
Although the mining area was slaughtered wildly, most of the people who fell to the ground were mine slaves who were as cheap as cattle, and some of the defenders of the mining area who had no time to find a shield, and finally the melee, although they fought hard to kill more than 100 light cavalry, but their own cavalry team also suffered heavy losses!
After this battle, Murong Xiao seemed to have fallen to the lowest point in his life, and he could already imagine his future situation among the clans.
However, he is not just a fierce wolf, he is also a tough weed, as long as he stays in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, at the critical moment, his ruthlessness reflects the value it should have.
I saw Murong Xiao pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and shouted to the Ah Chai people behind him: "This captain leads away the enemy army, and you will make a detour from the left side, you must bring the blood wolf flag back to the clan, and tell the clansmen that our brother died for the clan!" ”
Ah Chai was sad and indignant, seeing that Murong Duwei actually created an escape opportunity for them, they were unwilling to escape one by one, and they all expressed that they wanted to live and die with Murong Duwei!
However, Murong Xiao roared like a wounded lion: "Wait and go!" Otherwise, the army will be dealt with! ”
Ah Chai all know that the direction Murong Xiao took is the way to come, and he is the main general, the enemy will definitely not give up the pursuit, so Murong Xiao can be regarded as having no return!
But seeing that Murong Xiao was so heroic and tragic, Ah Chai finally left in tears, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, more than 30 horsemen separated from the left side and scattered into the mountain road to escape, while Murong Xiao took fifteen or sixteen personal soldiers and galloped to the hillside pass in front.
After dividing the troops, Murong Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew very well the style of the Tang people, when he gained power, he would definitely kill them all, and the large army of light cavalry would definitely chase after the soldiers and horses with a large number of people, and the blood wolf flag was a symbol of the main general, although he said it was righteous and tragic, in fact, he sold his thirty brothers to the Tang light cavalry behind him!
Hou Poyu's crotch war horse Shenjun was very, powerful and fast like the wind stepping on the swallow, seeing that the deserters were divided into two groups, he hurriedly ordered Zhang Shenzhi to lead a large group of men and horses to chase and kill the Blood Wolf Banner, and he and Murong Xiao had collided several times, and recognized the other party's dragon breeding horse, and immediately took dozens of knights to chase after him!
"Humph! No matter how cunning you are, you can't escape the eyes of your captive! He saw through Murong Xiao's disdainful way of abandoning the car to protect the handsome on the spot, and quickly raised his horse and whip to chase and kill him on the mountain road at the mountain pass.
But after all, their war horses were not as good as the local horses of Tuyuhun who galloped every day on the grassland, and they watched Murong Xiao ride into the slope pass!
Murong Xiao let out a long breath, after passing this pass, they would be able to enter the vast meadow, scatter and flee, and the sky would be high and wide!
"Captain Murong, we succeeded!" The henchmen around him knew Murong Xiao's trick very well, and when he saw that he had entered the narrow pass, he couldn't help laughing loudly, but before the words fell, a watermelon-sized stone suddenly flew from the slope, smashing half of the henchman's face, and he fell off the horse without saying a word!
Murong Xiao's war horse was taken aback, neighing uncontrollably, and finally pulled the reins tightly and stopped the horse, but rocks fell on the slope, smashing the team apart!
"There's an ambush!"
Xu Zhen was going to give up, but he didn't expect that there were only fifteen or sixteen Tuyuhun remnants who fled back, but when he saw the familiar dragon breed horse, his heart was suddenly ecstatic, isn't this the old rival Murong Xiao! Last time, he let him run away, but this time he occupied the right time and place, and he was condescending, so how could he let him escape again!
The long knife in his hand was clenched, Xu really wanted to give an order, but a tall figure came out of his side, the big black man Zhou Cang dragged the Pu knife and ran downhill, like thunder, and the beard was upside down, just like the reincarnation of Yanren Zhang Yide!
Murong Xiao and the other remnants of the soldiers were secretly rejoicing in escaping and ascending to heaven, and they didn't want the fourteenth five-year red-armored Tang soldiers to rush in like heavenly soldiers, and the black man led by the black man jumped high from the slope, and the Pu knife cut an amazing arc, and immediately split a cavalry brother with his head and shoulders in two!
Xu Zhen didn't have time to give an order, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said that if he was given a "gun", he would be able to create a nation, if he gave Zhou Cang, a big black man, a gun, this product is estimated to be able to destroy a nation!
Murong Xiao's fifteen or sixteen cavalry were knocked over by a small part of the falling rocks, and the rest were also alarmed by the war horses because of the surprise attack, and they were overturned by the war horses, and after Zhou Cang and others rushed down, they swept the spot!
Xu Zhen clenched the long knife in his hand, the red armor was like blood, and the oncoming Tuyuhun Achai screamed and rushed over, brandishing a scimitar and slashing at Xu Zhen, the latter snorted, clanged, and actually cut off the opponent's scimitar, cutting the opponent's neck in half, and the blood suddenly sprayed on Xu Zhen's face and body, making the red copper armor more and more hideous!
Murong Xiao wanted to beat the horse and leave, but after seeing Xu Zhen's respectful appearance, he gritted his teeth, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and rushed towards Xu Zhen!
Xu Zhen sneered, wiped his left hand on his waist, and a flying knife suddenly came out of his hand, where did Murong Xiao think that someone would use a hidden weapon when the two armies were fighting, he turned his body, was stabbed in the shoulder, and fell off the horse!
As soon as he wanted to get up, Xu Zhen's long knife had already descended on the top of his head, and he raised his knife to block in a panic, and the two of them fought in one place!
Hou Poyu was overjoyed, and he was imagining that he would plant the head of the enemy chief on the military flag, show off his might and return to the camp, causing a sensation in the military circles, who would have thought that the deserters in front of him would actually be intercepted!
What made him feel the most was that it was Xu Zhen's bastard who intercepted the deserters! Where did he come from!
