Chapter 238: A Narrow Encounter

Li Xingzhou waved his hand, and the two people next to him handed over pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Wang was just about to put it in a wooden tube and seal it with clay, Li Xingzhou asked.

"What did you write?"

"Good news."

Li Xingzhou said loudly: "One hour, clean up the battlefield and set off again!" ”

A fierce battle was won, and the Tang army and the villagers were victorious.

But there were many dead and wounded among the villagers.

The Tang army also lost seventeen people, and four others were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries.

Together with the soldiers, the villagers buried the bodies and disposed of the wounded.

The king sent a fast horse to deliver the gallop report.

Six lightly wounded soldiers were sent to escort the villagers and the seriously wounded to the south.

Of the one hundred and three Tang troops at the time of departure, there are now seventy-five left to continue their march.

When the people and horses gathered the team, Huo Xiaoliu came to find Wang Rare.

"Uncle, can I see you again?"

"Perhaps!"

Wang smiled and pinched his face.

"You are a man, you must protect your aunt and fellow villagers in the future, listen to your aunt, and honor her."

"I will."

Huo Xiaoliu nodded seriously.

"If I want to find you, where do I go?"

Wang rarely squatted down and smiled.

"Don't look for me. You just have to work hard, study more and practice martial arts diligently, and be a pure man who stands up to the sky. ”

"When you become a general one day, we will be able to meet!"

"Men are big husbands, words have to count!"

Huo Xiaoliu nodded seriously.

"When I become a general, you must come to see me!"

"Come, high-five is an oath, a word is a decision!"

Huo Xiaoliu swore very seriously by high-five Li Xingzhou.

Then he ran back with a small burden on his back and took his aunt's hand.

Step by step, I walked with many villagers.

.......

"Brothers!"

Li Xingzhou snorted, and everyone stood solemnly.

Li Xingzhou said.

"Although we have eliminated this lone group of Turkic rangers who have come deep to raid the village."

"But we've also reduced our staff by more than two decades."

"The front is not optimistic, since there are Turks who have infiltrated here."

"It is estimated that the border defense cave of the Great Wall has fallen in Shuozhou, and there are many Turks in Daizhou who are looting and burning everywhere."

"What we need to do now is to continue to move forward, find out the enemy situation as much as possible, and rescue as many people as possible."

"But we have limited manpower, so we can't do it brutely."

"Going down, it's going to be even more dangerous."

"Brothers, be vigilant and obey orders."

"Don't just want to kill the enemy in vain, our main task is to find out the enemy's situation!"

"Yes!"

"All on board!"

The group got on their horses and formed a circle around the grave where the fallen Tang soldiers were buried, silently.

"Take off your hat, raise your soldiers!"

Everyone held their scarves in their hands, and raised their weapons high in the other.

"Rest in peace, brothers!"

Li Xingzhou said loudly.

"Rest in peace, brothers!"

The sergeants shouted in unison.

Several soldiers burst into tears, but no one cried.

"On the day of victory, we will come again to pay respects!"

Li Xingzhou said loudly.

"Let's go!"

Li Xingzhou put on his hood and glanced at the lifeless empty village.

In war, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most.

Regardless of the era, the duty of a soldier is always sacred...... Defend the country!

Li Xing marched seventy-five men on Monday and continued to advance north along the mountain road.

Along the way, many sporadic refugees were found.

The soldiers pacified them and guided them to flee to Bingzhou, where the main force of the Tang Dynasty was located.

In addition, from the mouths of these fleeing people, we learned a lot about the situation ahead.

......

Previously, Shuozhou, which was guarded by Gao Cheng, the head of the Shuofang Road march.

It's really all down.

The Turkic army pursued the remnants of Gao Cheng and entered the Great Wall Pass.

Then the whole of Shuozhou was washed in blood, and a large number of cattle, horses and people were robbed, and there were almost no more life in the whole city.

Daizhou, which is adjacent to Shuozhou, also suffered a serious military disaster.

Although the Turks did not directly attack the seat of Daizhou and the well-fortified Yanmen County for the time being.

But they infiltrated through the gaps in the various defensive lines in Shuozhou.

Targeting the remote villages behind Yanmen, retaliatory and destructive burning, killing and looting are being carried out.

The Turkic steppe was ruled by the Tang Dynasty for fifty years.

God knows how much resentment has accumulated in the hearts of the Turks.

Ma Huaide, the governor of the acting prefecture, could not and did not dare to divide his forces to stop these Turkic bandits.

He can only sit in Yanmen and try his best to ensure that the city pass and the state city are not lost.

Otherwise, the Turkic army will really all be killed in the Great Wall Pass and bloody the hinterland of Hebei!

"We have to meet the Acting Governor Ma Huaide in order to really implement these situations! For the time being, it is not possible to rush back on the basis of the refugee's side, so as not to mislead the main forces in the rear. ”

Li Xingzhou was very cautious and said.

"Brothers, cheer up and continue to march towards Yanmen!"

......

In the evening, Li Xing walked out of the mountain forest on Monday.

Ahead, you can faintly see the continuous mountains and mountains, and there is no longer the cover of mountains and forests.

This is the famous Yanmen Pass in ancient times.

Yanmen Pass, an important dangerous pass on the Great Wall, and Yanmen County, the seat of Daizhou, are just ahead.

Wangshan ran a dead horse.

The mountain trail is rugged and difficult.

It will take dozens of miles to get there.

From the middle of last night to the present, there has been a fight, everyone is obviously tired, and even the war horses are a little weak.

"Brothers!"

Li Xingzhou said.

"Be sure to enter the Yanmen Gate before it gets dark!"

Suddenly there was smoke and dust ahead.

Li Xingzhou jumped off the horse, put his ear to the ground and listened for a moment, and said loudly.

"A large group of men and horses are coming, there are cavalry!"

"Hidden!"

The king immediately took the man back into the woods and hid.

There was a bad premonition in everyone's hearts...... Could it be that Yanmen has also fallen?!

It didn't take long for a large number of people to run in front of them, about hundreds, crying dad and shouting mother, there was chaos, obviously a group of refugees fleeing for their lives.

Behind them, a group of Turkic cavalry was in pursuit, their bows and arrows flying wildly and slashing like tigers into a flock of sheep.

Li Xingzhou did not hesitate to give a loud order, "Kill the enemy and save people!" ”

"Shanhou, please slow!"

Wang Rare hurriedly stopped and said quickly.

"There are no less than hundreds of enemy troops, and I am afraid that a rash attack will hurt hundreds of people, and we may not be able to fight it!"

"Let the brothers scatter themselves all over the woods, blow their trumpets and shout loudly, and sweep up the dust and smoke with the branches of the trees."

"If the Turks retreat, then I don't have to fight and chase after me."

"If the Turks don't retreat, we will attack them from all directions and attack them together with the momentum of encirclement, or we can take the initiative first!"

When everyone heard this, they praised the "art of war" in unison.

Wang rarely looked at Li Xingzhou with almost pleading.

"Shanhou, listen to me!"

Li Xingzhou squinted his eyes and stared at Wang Rare for a moment, and shouted.

"Do as he says!"

......

The soldiers were scattered throughout the woods, with two horns for each fire, and now a dozen marching horns were ready.

Li Xingzhou imitated Zhang Fei's practice in Changhan Slope in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and asked someone to cut down a branch and hang it on the saddle.

After a while, the trumpets sounded and galloped through the woods, as suspicious soldiers.

Although in his previous life, he was just a chicken anchor with a low level of education.

But the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has still been watched.

Everyone acted very quickly, one was well-trained, and the other was pressed for time.

Every second, people's lives are lost.

The men and horses in front were only 300 meters away, and the people were fleeing in a hurry, and the Turkic soldiers behind were frantically covering up.

The few people who chased after them had already rushed into the crowd of people.

The knife in his hand fell like chopping melons and vegetables, heads and limbs flew wildly, blood splattered and screamed.

The eyes of every Tang soldier looked like they were about to breathe fire.

But everyone did not act rashly and waited for Li Xingzhou's order.

Li Xingzhou's side stared at the front, his face still hideous.

His eyes were as cold as ice, and he held a cavalry horn in his hand.

"In front of me, the keyboard warrior can come up with a hundred strategies."

"But in the face of such a scenario, ordinary people's hearts are already blank, and they can't think at all."

"Even these battlefield veterans I bring will only follow orders."

Li Xingzhou's hoarse voice sounded in a low voice, obviously speaking to Wang Rarely.

Wang rarely looked back at Li Xingzhou, nodded, and blew the horn in his hand.

"Uh..... Whining!! ”

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen horns sounded together.

The knight rode his horse and galloped through the woods, and a cloud of smoke and dust filled the air.

At the same time, everyone let out a loud roar.

Where can the people running in front of them still care about the strangeness ahead.

The scimitar in the back almost slashed the neck.

They only know how to run for their lives, and they run in a panic.

But this is not the case with the Turks.

The horns of the bulls of the Don army were different from their own horns.

They can hear it at once.

At that moment, the Turks who were running at the forefront stopped in astonishment.

About one or two hundred riders also stopped in turn, looking at the woods hesitantly.

"Kill......"

Li Xingzhou and the others slapped the armor on their bodies with their swords, making a loud metal knocking sound.

Looking at the woods again, the smoke and dust in the sky exceeded the tips of the trees, like thousands of horses galloping in.

The Turks made a whistle, turned their horses and ran.

"Raise the flag and rescue the people...... Hurry up, hurry up! ”

It was rare for the king to order loudly.

Several banners of the Tang Army ran out of the woods and ran towards hundreds of people.

"We are the king of the Tang Dynasty, don't be surprised!!"

"Fast into the woods! ...... Hurry up and hurry up!! ”

The people let out a cry of joy and misery.

Rolling and crawling towards the woods.

"Don't take the official road again, all go into the woods!"

"Hurry, hurry!!"

Li Xingzhou and all the soldiers rushed out.

Pull the people into the woods as much as you can.

Everyone knows in their hearts that the Turks are not idiots.

Once he found that he had not been killed, he was deceived and humiliated.

With their character, they will definitely turn over and kill back.

Time is of the essence.

If you can't hide in the woods before the Turks come back, standing on this official road is the life of a live target.

The Turkic horseman's riding and archery kung fu is not vegetarian, this ethnic group that grew up on horseback, eight or nine-year-old children are proud of wearing a hundred steps!

When the people ran here, many of them were exhausted.

Especially some women, the elderly and children, they can't run at all.

Especially when they saw Tang Jun, their desire to survive and life potential that burst out in the face of death were slightly relaxed.

Many people were lying on the ground and couldn't crawl.

Li Xingzhou and the others could only drag and carry these people on their backs, desperately drilling into the woods.

In the north, the sound of horses' hooves went and returned.

You can't use the suspicious tactic twice, this is really a disaster!

"Brothers...... Swear to defend it!! ”

Li Xingzhou turned over on his horse and held his horse lance high.

All the officers and men of the Tang Army turned over their horses and shouted angrily.

"Swear to defend it!"

Li Xingzhou yelled.

"Folks, flee into the depths of the jungle! Don't look back, don't stay! Go to the south, go to the state!! ”

"You—You're just a few of you?!"

A man cried out in frustration.

"Yanmen has fallen, and thousands of Turkic soldiers are looting the county and county seats, and you can't stop it...... Let's run away! ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked at the same time.

Yanmen has really fallen!

"Let's go !!"

It was rare for the king to ride his horse and roar loudly.

"We are Tang soldiers, and we are desperate to stop them! Folks, run away! Take the mountain road to the state! There is our main king division there!! ”

"Okay, okay......"

The people gritted their teeth and got up, and fled into the dense forest in all directions.

"Driving ......"

All the cavalry of the Left Yi Guard rushed forward.

Ahead, the Turkic cavalry was pressed by black, rolling in!

......

Without the orders of the generals, experienced veterans know that it is bad.

for with the tremor of the earth.

The sound of horses' hooves had reached their ears.

In this place suddenly a large number of cavalry appeared.

And listening to the rapid sound of the hooves, it is clear that it is sprinting, and this can never be his own people.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves began to roar in my ears.

Thousands of troops, wielding snowy steel knives.

Pounced from the darkness.

Like ghosts, a scrambling recruit saw a black shadow sweeping past him with a strong wind.

Immediately, the screams of their companions sounded farther ahead.

The terrified soldiers were glad they had escaped.

Another dark shadow swept past him in the wind, and this time he wasn't so lucky.

The sharp saber split him in half from shoulder to hip.

It was a brutal slaughter.

The enemy's attack was so fast that even the outlying sentinels did not have time to report back the alarm.

In a hurry, even if Zuo Yiwei wanted to form a formation in place to defend himself, it became delusional, let alone a powerful counterattack.

The attacking Turks, although they looked scattered, had no formation.

But since childhood, they have participated in safaris, and they have long been trained to become elite knights.

They usually work in groups of three, forming an acute angle attack formation and cooperating with each other.

Cut out all the obstacles that were causing your comrades and maintain the fastest charging speed.

And between each attack Acute Triangle, keep enough distance.

After making sure that after they rushed into the enemy line, their comrades in the rear remained at a high speed.

Launch a second attack at the same speed.

The attack unfolded throughout the camp where Zuo Yiwei was stationed.

In each place, the overwhelming assault of the Turks maintained at least five rounds of charge.

These five rounds of charging were enough to kill a fifth of Zuo Yiwei and cause them great confusion.

Thus ensuring that the Turks who had passed through the camp would return for a second round of sweeps.

Zuo Yiwei was still unable to form an effective counterattack.

Zuo Yiwei fell into absolute chaos.
