Chapter 664: The War Is Decided
Zhang Chengye led the army to the west, and with a gesture, the fire archer rockets were ignited one by one.
"Bang!"
The first rocket was lifted off from the hands of the soldiers beside Zhang Chengye, and the rocket drew a rainbow of fire marks in the dark night, and flew towards the enemy camp.
The first rocket lifted into the air, and the rest of the dazzling rockets followed and shot out, penetrating the night like a meteor falling from the sky, but for a moment, the enemy suddenly set up a fire, and Zhang Chengye could have led the army to kill the enemy while he was in chaos, but he didn't, because there might still be red pollen in the camp, and if you venture in, you will probably suffer.
For the sake of safety, when the fireworks were soaring, they stayed in place and waited outside for a while, and when the smoke turned black, Zhang Chengye gave an order, and everyone shouted in unison and rushed into the enemy camp.
Xu Mingshan did not kill the enemy with his soldiers, but watched the situation from a high place outside the camp, and the enemy camp was in great confusion.
The sound of killing here in the west is shocking, and it can be judged from the sound that Zhang Chengye led the team to safely control the west according to the plan and is intercepting and killing the enemy.
Fang Wenhou didn't want to compete with Xu Mingshan when he stayed, because of the disparity in strength, it was impossible to win the battle, Yan Yi was replaced at that time, not to deliver the news to Lu Kai after changing Huang Gong, but to send a letter to Lu Kai before leaving, this was because Fang Wenhou was not given time to retreat.
After changing people, Yan Yi immediately retreated with Huang Gong, Li Yan just arrived at Fang Wenhou's side, and immediately told Fang Wenhou about the matter, Li Yan asked Fang Wenhou to retreat immediately, Fang Wenhou knew that there was no time to get out as soon as he heard the news, and he could only create chaos if he wanted to get out.
Now is the moment of chaos, Fang Wen can't miss the opportunity and shouts, "Beat the drum!" The drum beat immediately into the sky.
The Northern Shu hussars in the camp immediately shouted and turned the defense into an attack and mounted their horses, half of them went to the front to kill, and the other half and Fang Wen waited to retreat, this was to let half of the people contain the enemy army, so as to give them time to evacuate.
For a while, the sound of hooves shook the sky, and the soldiers on both sides stepped on the corpses of each other's men and horses to start an all-out fight.
Huang Gong and Yan Yi rode up the high hill together, Fang Wenhou had a full view of the camp situation, Yan Yi really didn't understand, Huang Gong stayed to see what to do with this, Yan Yi said, "Dad, you have seen the situation, can you go now?" ”
Huang Gong clenched his horsewhip and looked into the distance, "For my father, I really want to see what kind of expression Fang Wenhou has now."
Yan Yi knew that this was because Fang Wen was detaining people and was resentful, Yan Yi took a deep breath of the cold air in the night, "Dad, let's go"
Huang Gong didn't leave, and said very unwillingly, "Yan'er, you said, if Dad has a chance, the situation is not the same as now"
Yan Yi did not answer.
Huang Gong looked at her and said, "Why don't you speak, do you think that if you come once, your father will still be defeated?" ”
Yan Yi said softly, "Dad, my daughter doesn't want to say anything against her will, so she just doesn't say it."
Huang Gong suddenly smiled bitterly, how could he not understand Yan Yi's words, but there are some things that Yan Yi has to listen to, Huang Gong said, "Say, no matter what you say, Dad will listen"
That being the case, Yan Yi also wanted Huang Gong to die of this heart, Yan Yi said, "Dad, my daughter doesn't understand the matter of marching and fighting, but this failure proves that we have shortcomings, and such shortcomings can not be done by doing hard work, how can we match so many generals in Jing Realm?" ”
Huang Gongdao "We do have a lot of shortcomings, but there are more talents in the world than only Jingjing, as long as you carefully search, you won't find it.
If you have the opportunity, you will never repeat the same mistake next time."
Yan Yi was very worried about Huang Gong's ambition and said, "Dad, how can you conquer Jing Realm with your own strength, if you are so easy to fight, the King of Shu and the King of Wei will not need you this time."
Huang Gong looked up at the sky, exhaled a breath of pride in his heart, and said calmly, "It's really not easy to fight, but it's just unwilling, as you said, we are going to go away, but what are we going to do in the future?" Over the years, my father has been preparing for this campaign, and in a few years, once the prince's foundation is firmly established, there will be no chance."
Yan Yi said, "Dad, it's not easy to get the prince Yu Ling this time, if you want to give up this, your daughter will die with her father in the future."
Huang Gongchang sighed, turned the horse's head and said, "Go, Dad, listen to you."
The two of them rode their horses and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
The enemy camp is now only left with the remnants of the defeated army, the camp tent has long been burned to charred ashes, Wu Peng led the team in the enemy camp, with a face towel covering his face, this is to guard against safflower pollen.
Wu Peng had a face towel on his body, and some of the other soldiers had already lost some of the face towels on their faces, and now seeing that the soldiers did not cough, they thought that even if there was red pollen, they should let this fire burn to ashes.
Wu Peng took the towel and said, "The second team stayed to capture the enemy near the camp tent, and the others followed me to pursue."
"Yes" After the soldiers received the order, Wu Peng led the people to pursue first.
After a while, Zhang Chengye came with the team, and when he saw Wu Peng's team but no one was seen, Zhang Chengye asked a soldier, and the soldier told Zhang Chengye that Wu Peng had led people to pursue the enemy.
Wu Peng led the army to kill, and encountered a lot of scattered deserters on the way, and the combat power and mentality of the deserters were not as good as the chasing soldiers, so naturally Wu Peng's team was killed as soon as they met, and they didn't see Fang Wenhou all the way after them.
When he was thinking about where Fang Wen would retreat, he heard the sound of weapons in front of him, Wu Peng did not hesitate to immediately lead the troops over, and when he arrived at the sound position, he saw Lu Kai leading the troops to fight, and Wen Lushan was on the side to assist in killing the enemy, and finally the enemy army could only abandon his weapons and surrender when he saw that he was invincible.
Lu Kai Wen Lushan captured three hundred enemy troops here, Wen Lushan slowly rode his horse towards Lu Kai, Wen Lushan saw Wu Peng coming over, and asked with a happy face, "The camp is broken?" ”
Wu Pengke was not as happy as Wen Lushan and said, "It's broken, but I didn't see Fang Wenhou"
Lu Kai was surprised when he heard it: "He ran away?" ”
Wu Peng nodded and said, "Ran away, he mostly changed armor with the soldiers, disguised as a soldier and fled."
Wen Lushan laughed when he heard it, "I didn't expect Fang Wenhou to have such a day"
Lu Kai thought about the nearby terrain and said, "This place is not a flat avenue, even if you escape in disguise, you can't escape far, as long as you divide your troops to search and investigate one by one, you don't have to worry about not being able to catch people."
Wu Peng looked up at the sky and said, "There are still two hours before dawn, he can escape from dawn, he can hide from dawn, and he can't escape without the cover of night."
Wen Lushan nodded very much in agreement with Wu Peng's opinion, Wen Lushan said, "We might as well divide the troops into three ways, so that the chance of catching people will be greater."
The three of them did not hesitate at the moment, and pursued in three directions.
The sky gradually brightened, Shen Jian received the battle report from Xu Mingshan, and when he saw the battle report, Shen Jiancheng laughed loudly, "Okay!" Very good! ”
Seeing Shen Jiancheng's reaction, Qin Chong also smiled, "Looking at the prince's face, I guess Captain Xu has good news."
Shen Jiancheng nodded very happily, "It's indeed good news, it's good news," and then said with a little pity on his face, "Although it is defeated."
The main force of the Northern Shu hussars, but Fang Wenhou is nowhere to be found"
Qin Chong didn't feel a pity if he didn't catch Fang Wenhou, Qin Chong said, "Prince, in fact, whether you catch Fang Wenhou or not, it doesn't matter now, the most important thing now is to share this good news with the people."
Shen Jiancheng said, "Okay, this Taiwei arrangement"
Before dawn, Lu Kai and Wen Lushan immediately overlooked the hills, and there were layers of mountains in front of them, they could now think about it, Fang Wenhou would definitely not dare to rest, for fear that once he rested, he would let the pursuers catch up, and Fang Wenhou could survive. It is only a matter of time before you can go without eating or sleeping for a few days, and you can catch someone.
Wen Lushan looked puzzled, and Lu Kai asked, "Fang Wenhou hasn't been found yet, why don't you let me find someone, what are you doing here?" ”
Lu Kai let out a long breath and said, "There are so many people in the army who are looking for it, and it is not bad for you to have a pair of eyes, the current battle situation has been decided, and then we must find a way to assist the prince."
Wen Lushan understood Lu Kai's thoughts, "I understand, but you're not afraid that Fang Wenhou will escape?" ”
Lu Kai said with a smile, "He can't escape, it's inaccessible here, and it's not easy to get out of the mountains."
The two began to return, returning to the scene of last night's battle, only to see the battlefield corpses strewn all over the field, which was horrific to see.
The battle was a complete victory, killing more than 20,000 enemies, and wounding only more than 2,000 people, compared with the enemy's astonishing number of casualties, this is really insignificant, this time also from the enemy camp also looted a lot of bows and arrows, captured 5,000 horses, and the results were broken.
Wen Lushan saw that there were still a lot of weapons in the camp that were not used, and Wen Lushan said strangely, "There are still weapons and war horses that are useless, I think Fang Wenhou has made up his mind to escape from the beginning."
Lu Kai also had this idea, "He knew that it would be difficult to get out, and he only managed to slip away when the two armies were fighting"
Wen Lushan said differently, "Since you have wanted to leave for a long time, why don't you leave early in the morning, waiting for us to come over, isn't this equivalent to death?" ”
Lu Kaidao, "This is not an opportunity to die, what do you think, the 30,000 army is hiding here and not moving, we are naturally difficult to detect, but how can a move not attract people's eyes and ears in the realm of Jingjing?"
Wen Lushan thought about it and said, "He wants the lives of all the soldiers of the Beishu Hussars to make a living for him."
Lu Kaidao "Neng She's the big husband"
Wen Lushan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he couldn't laugh, "What do you say, why do you sound a little admiring Fang Wenhou?" ”
Lu Kai shook his head slightly and said, "It's not admiration, it's just a choice"
At this time, a soldier came over and asked, "What to do with the enemy's prisoners and wounded soldiers?" ”
Lu Kai can't call the shots on this issue, Lu Kai said, "This matter is decided by the school captain, you go and ask the school captain to do it."
The soldiers went to Xu Mingshan's place to ask for advice, Xu Mingshan thought about it and said secretly, "Leaving them is a waste of Jingjing food, let them go, but we must allocate them to let them go, if they are released together, they may make trouble on the road, in addition, we must treat the injured on the other side well, heal them and let them go."
Xu Mingshan's move was to show his grace, since he felt that the soldiers were ordered to retreat.
Seeing that Lu Kai was silent, Wen Lushan asked, "How is it now?" Want to go back to Jingyue? ”
Lu Kai shook his head and said, "Fang Wen Housheng wants to see people and corpses, how can he go back with peace of mind without exact news, I won't go back, but you have to go back, presumably the prince will take action against the Shi clan tomorrow, and the prince needs people now."
Wen Lushan asked people to lead a horse, turned over the horse and said, "Then I'll leave now, I don't need me here."
