Chapter 525: Embarrassment
A new day began, but new troubles also appeared, and when the first rays of sunlight had just flooded the river beach, driving away the chill of the night in that place, a bad news was brought to Gao Yingxiang by the patrolling brothers, and Lu Shi's cavalry camped twenty miles away.
This news was more effective than the order of the king of Da Chuang to get up and form a whole team, and all the poles jumped up at once, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, got up and drank the river water, ate the horse meat left from yesterday, and everyone continued eastward.
Walking on the road, the brother of the patrol kept reporting Lu Shi's movements, and Lu Shi didn't seem to want to kill Gao Yingxiang very much, so he followed from a distance twenty miles away, so that he didn't have time to fetch food everywhere, and he didn't have time to coerce the people along the way, which was not like chasing and killing, but more like escorting.
Since he got this information, Gao Yingxiang and the other defeated troops were somewhat relieved, since this is the case, then solve the food problem first, and eat a full stomach before leaving, so, Gao Yingxiang was ready to attack a village along the way that looked like there was still some population, but before he could make a move, the Lu Shi cavalry behind him galloped over, and killed his brother who was on the periphery on the spot, Gao Yingxiang had to give up and take the brothers to rush in, and once they evacuated the village, Lu Shi's pole immediately stopped pursuing, pacified and rectified the village that had just been disturbed by Gao Yingxiang and others, and then, after leaving a few people, continued to stay behind Gao Yingxiang and walked forward unhurriedly.
At that time, the captain of Gao Yingxiang's subordinates was really angry, and he ran to Gao Yingxiang and asked: "King Da Chuang, this is too depressing, please allow me to take my headquarters to reflexively kill for a while, and chop off this annoying tail." ”
Gao Yingxiang actually wanted to fight more, but he stood up on the horse, observed a red figure not far behind, and then looked at the brother who had lost his fear, helplessly looked away, and sighed: "Forget it, we still have to go, if we really reflexively kill back, and end up annoying the killing star, then we will really be cornered." ”
When the captain heard this, although he was panting with anger, he also knew that King Da Chuang was telling the truth, so he could only say hello and returned to his team unwillingly.
In the afternoon, Gao Yingxiang's team walked into a long rain cracked ditch, the mountain wind swirled in the valley, and from time to time there were clouds of loess falling on the steep cliffs on both sides.
When everyone was hurrying away, suddenly a group of people and horses were killed on both sides of the ditch, and the ditch in front was blocked by a group of people and horses. Fortunately, Gao Yingxiang walked behind the team this time, and there were few ambush soldiers in Xiangyong, so he launched an attack without putting all the poles in, which made Gao Yingxiang not in any danger.
However, when Gao Yingxiang saw it, he was angry and bullfighting. When did you get mixed up so that even a group of villagers could attack you? I think that at the beginning, as long as I was directed by the army, all the townsmen would flee, and all the fortresses would be wiped out in front of my eyes, where would one or two thousand townsmen dare to ambush themselves like now?
Lift the horse to the top and take a closer look at this ambush.
Just after being ambushed, their team was in confusion at that time, but those captains and leaders immediately organized a formation, and in the interval of a head-to-head blow, they put the panicked poles in order, and launched a breakthrough counterattack before the second wave of blows.
Look at the Xiangyong on the mountains on both sides, wearing different numbers, holding bows, arrows and stones, desperately shouting, throwing them on the heads of their trapped brothers, and the ones who blocked their own places in front of them were also mixed with the same numbers, and as soon as the elm sprays at the mouth of the ditch were released, their brothers stepped on the bones on the ground and rushed up, and fought with those villagers.
After all, it is a man who has fought hard, and he can still be competent to deal with a group of township warriors, especially now, a group of almost desperate people were attacked again, and all of them took out blood warriors at that time, which can be regarded as a mourning soldier who will win, especially everyone has a breath in their hearts, and now, this evil breath has finally found a place to vent, although it was ambushed and attacked for a while, it was also a rainbow of war, Lu Shi bullied me, you also bullied me, Lu Shi I can't beat it, but we have definitely beaten these township warriors.
However, no matter how brave you are, Gao Yingxiang's subordinates were obviously at a disadvantage in the battle, and the pole blocked at the mouth of the ditch was slowly pressed back by Xiang Yong, and he retreated step by step.
There are many reasons, one is that the other party took the initiative, took it by surprise, and got the first move, and the second one, Gao Yingxiang's subordinates have been frightened all day long in the past two days, and they have not rested well at all, not to mention that they can only rely on a little poor horse meat to survive, and their physical strength has seriously declined.
Seeing that the war continued and the brothers' movements became slower and slower, Gao Yingxiang was anxious in his heart at this time, don't be stuck here anymore, once they are stuck together, Lu Shi will find an opportunity to give himself a fall in the future, then everything will be over.
Now, it is necessary to solve the battle in the shortest possible time. So, Gao Yingxiang shouted loudly to Lao Gada, and Lao Gada ran to Gao Yingxiang's eyes, and did not speak, just saluted, and then waited for Gao Yingxiang's orders.
"You take your brother to break the back and press the formation, and strictly guard against Lu Shi's pole raid, once they come to attack, you can't let it go no matter what."
"Yes."
"Remember, even if your team is not in battle, you can't take a step back when I finish solving the front." Gao Yingxiang said tightly. "Tell the brothers, whether or not our army can survive is in this battle."
"My subordinates understand that Lu Shi wants to pass through my defense line, and he can only step on the corpses of all my brothers."
"Well, I believe you."
After Gao Yingxiang finished speaking, he suddenly ripped off the gold-painted cloak on his body, threw it to the soldiers around him, and said loudly: "Provoke it and be my Chinese army." The soldier picked up a cherry spear, put on the cloak, and stood behind Gao Yingxiang and shook it vigorously, while shouting with all his might to cheer for his brothers.
Gao Yingxiang took out the sword at his waist, waved it into the air, and shouted loudly: "The Biaoying brothers are divided into three teams, and the two teams are divided into left and right, rush up to the soil on both sides, kill and scatter the villagers, and a team of brothers follow me, rush to the mountain pass, kill——"
With a shout, the first one rushed out, and the brother with the cloak followed closely behind Gao Yingxiang, waving the "Da Xu" while shouting frantically, "The king of Da Chuang is invincible, the king of Da Chuang is invincible." ”
This shout, immediately aroused the idea of those tired brothers, when he turned back, he saw that he had not been in battle for a long time, and today he jumped on his horse again like a god to kill the enemy, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the joy was thunderous, and even those who were wounded and fell to the ground got up again, picked up the knives and guns, and threw themselves on the battlefield to fight with the villagers, and the seriously injured brothers, knowing that they would die sooner or later, regardless of the swords and guns, they opened their arms and threw themselves into the enemy position, fighting for the opportunity to kill the enemy for their brothers, For a while, the battle became fierce again, and the soldiers slowly compressed the village warrior team back.
At this time, the two standard battalion brothers each had five hundred men and horses, and they sacrificed their lives to kill the top of the soil, and launched a decisive attack with their faces up, they knew that they must disperse the Xiangyong on both sides as soon as possible, and remove the danger above for Gao Yingxiang, this is a battle related to the life and death of the army, or life, or death, there is no third choice.
There are about 1,000 Xiangyong on both sides of the soil, and Huan who is throwing arrows and stones down, suddenly found that there are a large number of thieves on his side to kill, and he dropped his work at that time, under the leadership of the leader of Xiangyong, shouting and brandishing knives and guns, and fighting fiercely with this bandit, but before Duoxiang Yong was really not the opponent of these outlaws, only one was put down by the opponent dozens of them, this time it made the original overexcited Xiangyong impact of the footsteps, did not go through the baptism of the battle formation, sneak attack, fight a tailwind battle is OK, this time the real knife and real gun killing, Then the fear of the heart conquered everything.
In addition, they are facing a decisive counterattack, and the momentum is much weaker compared to the two sides.
Just when the Xiangyong attack momentum, those standard camp brothers were even more ruthless, although the terrain was unfavorable, but no one retreated, desperately stepped forward to attack, the battle was only stalemate for less than a moment, those Xiangyong after three or four hundred casualties, shouted, turned around and fled, so, these two condescending threats were finally lifted.
As soon as the Xiangyong on both sides of the soil collapsed, not only relieved the threat of Gao Yingxiang and others in the ravine, so that they could concentrate on the enemy, but more importantly, at the same time, they also shook the will of their companions to fight.
Where was Gao Yingxiang willing to let go of such an opportunity, he immediately led a group of cavalry to chase the north, and slashed heartily, until he chased ten miles away, and then stopped his footsteps.
Looking at the corpses of the countrymen all over the ground, Gao Yingxiang sat upright and looked around, and couldn't help laughing, the depression of these days was completely washed away by the victory of this battle.
All his subordinates were also greeted by a hearty victory, which once again boosted their morale, and they all shook their swords and guns and cheered, and for a time the morale of the army was high again.
What made Gao Yingxiang happiest was that in this battle, Lu Shi, who was behind him, did not make trouble for himself, even if he was victorious now, he did not see the patrol alarm that monitored Lu Shi's movements.
While the brothers were cleaning up the battlefield, Gao Yingxiang interrogated the prisoners.
Feelings of this group of townspeople, is the surrounding dozens of miles of forts pieced together, because two days ago, they heard that there is a pole defeated soldiers into Yichuan, in order to protect themselves, led by an old qualified fort owner, united several fort townsmen, while flying to Yichuan County, on the other hand, choose a powerful terrain, hoping to annihilate this pole, in order to get rid of the troubles, but did not expect this battle down, actually defeated.
Gao Yingxiang ordered someone to cut down this village Yong, and then urgently called the leader to a meeting to study the current situation.
"Now, brothers, that's the case." After briefly reporting the results of the interrogation, Gao Yingxiang said, "I think, we are short of food and salt now, we have nothing, and Lu Shi's thief is still following us, but I don't think he has the heart to fight with us, most of them are waiting for us to cross the border, they will gather the people and implement his bullshit base construction." ”
Everyone has figured this out now, but what if they figure it out? The construction of the base area, that is, to get a piece of their own foundation, everyone does not want to, but that requires strength, I think that my army of more than 100,000 was almost broken up by 20,000 border troops in northern Shaanxi, and now I can't do it myself, so it is still safe to fight on mobile, and money and food are coming quickly.
"So I had an idea." Gao Yingxiang cut the road categorically.
