Chapter 22: Swamp Horror

Dian Wei rode back and forth in front of the battle, showing off his might. Qiu Liju turned around and shouted, "Who can fight?" Kill this black guy. An iron tower-like man in the Wuhuan array came out in response, and Qiu Liju saw that it was the first warrior in the clan, Ha Botu, who was overjoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Ha Botu, kill this black guy, this king will be rewarded." Haber nodded and shouted in response, and hit his horse and went straight to Dian Wei. Habertu held a mace with a foot length, rode a tall blue-maned horse, came to Dian Wei's approach, and did not say anything, his arms were rounded, and the mace smashed on Dian Wei's head with a scream, Dian Wei had the heart to try his strength, the halberd crossed, and slammed upward, as if a thunderbolt suddenly hit in mid-air, and the horses under the crotch of the two roared in rhythm, and the strength of the two was evenly matched.

Dian Wei appeased the war horse under the crotch, his legs were between the horse's belly, condescending, the double halberd hit the top of Haber's head, Haber Tu raised his arms high, blocking the double halberd, Dian Wei's hands alternated, the double halberd circled, and he hit Haber Tu on the body, Haber Tu left and right block, gradually Dian Wei's attack became faster and faster, Haber spit a slack, and was slapped in the back of the heart by Dian Wei's halberd, Haber spit out a mouthful of blood "wow", lay on the saddle, and fled back in embarrassment. Dian Wei beats the horse back to his own position. Qiu Liju saw that the fighting general could not win, and with a wave of his sword, 10,000 soldiers and horses attacked.

Liu Ze saw the Wuhuan soldiers and horses launched, glanced at Yu Ban, Yu Ban waved the order flag, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, the archers were behind, an order, ten thousand arrows were fired together, the Wuhuan vanguard raised their shields to protect the vital point, and the Wuhuan soldiers behind opened their bows and shot back, in front of the two armies, the arrows were like rain, and the screams of the arrows were endless. Shoot out three rounds of arrows, Wuhuan soldiers and horses fell to the ground countless, Yu Ban saw that the Wuhuan people still risked death to charge, the flag waved again, more than 100 bed crossbows lined up in front of the formation, the arrows as thick as children's arms roared towards the head of the Wuhuan soldiers and horses, the power of the bed crossbow was too great, some arrows passed through several people, like a sugar gourd, the Wuhuan people were frightened, dialed the head of the horse, and wanted to flee. Qiu Liju was furious, the two armies fought, with a sharp spirit, the sword fell, killed a few hesitant soldiers, loudly gave the order, increased 20,000 soldiers and horses, and continued to attack. Seeing this, Liu Ze said to the ban: "After the pikemen are broken, the army retreats to Dazhai. Yu Ban hurriedly went to pass the order.

The pikemen stood out in front of the two armies, the army slowly retreated, entered the camp, the pikemen fought and retreated, and when they retreated to the range of the bow and arrows of the camp, the archers were mighty, and the pikemen turned around and ran back to Dazhai. Qiu Liju commanded the soldiers and horses to storm Dazhai. Liu Ze's big village was built very firmly, the archers were condescending, covered by the wall, and the arrows were shot continuously, and the Wuhuan people and horses were piled up in front of the village. Qiu Liju couldn't attack for a long time, and ordered the troops to retreat.

In the battle, the two sides suffered casualties on each other, Liaodong soldiers and horses suffered fewer losses, and Qiu Liju suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

The cold wind is howling, the clouds are thick, and Liaodong seems to be about to usher in the first snow of the year.

In Liu Ze's big tent, after Yu Ban reported the battle situation, Liu Ze asked Zang Ba: "Xuan Gao, can things be ready?" How is the soldier drilled? Zang Ba said: "The 20,000 infantry are all fully assembled, but they have not yet been in place in practice. "Don't worry, look at the weather, the snow will soon drift, and you can practice after the snow."

Qiu Liju listened to the strong wind outside the tent, drank the stuffy wine, regretted it, Li Zhengzhong said the opposite, now the snow is flying, the road is difficult, the supply of grain and grass is difficult, although the soldiers have a big tent to cover, how can this cold air be sharp, or shivering from the cold. Qiu Liju asked the army to cut timber, and set up more bonfires in the camp to finally relieve the cold. No, we must fight quickly and return to the grassland for the winter.

It snowed heavily overnight, and when Liu Ze came out of the big tent to look, the vast northern country was covered in silver, the sun was shining, colorful and blurry, birds were looking for food, playing in the branches, the camp was full of smoke, and the firehead soldiers were cooking. I couldn't help but think of Taizu's words, and whispered: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting." Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only the remnants are reckless, up and down the big river, and suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red makeup, which is extraordinarily enchanting. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. ....." Liu Zezheng pondered how to tamper with the second half of Taizu's "Qinyuan Spring, Snow", and remembered the applause in his ears, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Ming Gong is so interested, a sentence is so delicate, it has attracted countless heroes to bend their waists, and the spirit of the king is obvious." Liu Ze said with a smile: "I feel that the country is picturesque, and my generation should cherish it." As he spoke, the soldiers under his command arrived, Guo Jia chanted Liu Ze's half-words, and everyone was intoxicated with listening to them. Guo Jia said with a smile: "Please Ming Gong continue to write this poem completely." The format of the words in the late Han Dynasty has not yet come out, and Guo Jia thinks it is a poem, which is not surprising. Liu Ze said with a smile: "Interrupted by Fengxiao, you have to think about it carefully." After pondering for a moment, he continued: "I regret Meng Tian Zhao extravagance, and slightly lose the literary talent; Wei Qing went to illness, slightly inferior to coquettish, born to fly, only knew how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. When they heard this, they cheered loudly. The characters listed by Liu Ze are all famous generals for a while, and they are all representative figures who fought against the Huns. Liu Ze compared his generals with famous generals, and the stimulating Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all enthusiastic about the forbidden Zang Ba, although Xu Chudianwei didn't quite understand, after Guo Jia's explanation, he knew that Liu Ze compared them to the famous generals who fought against the Huns in the past, and he was also excited, and he worshiped Liu Ze with one hundred and twenty hearts. (Taizu went to Chongqing to negotiate, Chongqing literary circle asked for a draft, Taizu wrote out the old work, which shocked the Chongqing literary circle for a while, and people thought that this poem had revealed the emperor's spirit.) )

After breakfast, Liu Ze came to Zangba's camp, and 20,000 soldiers had been assembled and ready to standby. Lined up and walked out of Dazhai, Liu Ze asked Zang Ba to select hundreds of agile and smart ones. After the selection was completed for a while, Liu Ze casually picked up a pair of prepared tools, which turned out to be skis. Liu Ze fixed the skis on his feet, picked up the pole, and explained the essentials of the action to hundreds of people, after the explanation, Liu Ze took the lead, gently supported on the snow, and slid out a long distance. Liu Ze came back in a big circle, and let hundreds of people start, wrestling, kneeling, leaning back, all kinds of things, and everyone laughed when they saw the excitement. A handful of smart people slowly skated a few hundred meters, and they were so happy that they jumped and shouted, it turned out that they walked so briskly on the snow. Liu Ze encouraged everyone not to be discouraged, keep practicing, and you will succeed if you pay. An army of 20,000 people, what a scene it was, struggling, sliding, falling, getting up, competing and practicing the vast snowfield. Five days later, when Liu Ze came back, 20,000 people were able to control it freely and glide like flying.

Qiu Liju nested in the big tent, patiently waiting for the snow to melt, the kneeless snow was almost useless for the cavalry, and in the past two days, he watched the snow melt and there was only a shallow layer, and decided to go to war. Qiu Liju wrote a challenge book and sent it to Liu Ze, and Liu Ze criticized: Tomorrow's decisive battle. (To be continued)
