Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lost as Lost
The general of the Great Qi who led the army was very angry in his heart: he had never seen such a stunned "hairy worm"! Obviously, the number of men and horses on his side is obviously at a disadvantage, but he fights fiercely and does not take the well-trained Protector Army in his eyes.
While ordering his subordinates to disperse and outflank, he danced a long-handled axe and greeted Mao Xianyi who rushed towards him. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said secretly: Since you are willing to come and die, then don't think about going back alive!
To his surprise, before he could make a move, the "hairy worm" who rushed to the front held a long knife in his hand, and with the sound of whirring wind, he unceremoniously slashed at it. He hurriedly raised his axe and slashed it with his backhand, which was counted as a salute in return. The two of you come and go, don't let each other go, and fight in one place.
After dozens of moves, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: That's it, there are such skilled warriors among the thieves, no wonder they are so strong! That certain family will extinguish your arrogance today, because Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian!
The axe went back and forth, and after dozens of rounds of fighting, neither side took advantage, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of both people.
With the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the men and horses led by Da Chu Tang Wannian suddenly arrived, and the hearts of the generals of the Qi army couldn't help but panic. Tricks between masters, the most taboo ape is distracted. The "hairy worm" seized this fleeting fighter, shouted, and slashed diagonally.
The general of the Qi army didn't think about it, and waved a long axe to push the blade upward, but he didn't know that the "hairy worm" was a false trick to lure the enemy, and the cold blade suddenly turned around in the air and slashed at the opponent's waist.
The other party was shocked in his heart and shouted: "Not good! He pressed down the giant axe in his hand with both arms, trying to block the attack line of the long knife. But it was still a little late, and I only heard a crisp sound of "click", and this general immediately staged a realistic bloody version of the trick of "changing into a living person", and the body was instantly divided into two parts.
The lower half was still firmly on the horse, and the upper half had flown out with the castration of the long knife.
Mao Xianyi saw that he had fought hard for a long time, and finally won a blow, and couldn't help but scream excitedly. Glancing back at his own men and horses, he raised his blood-dripping long knife and shouted: "Brothers, the commander of the army and the thieves have been slain by me, and while the enemy army is leaderless, I will completely crush them!" ”。
General Ma behind him was in high spirits, roaring and rushing forward.
Lang Zhendong, who injured Weng Yichun and was about to take advantage of the situation to kill, was blocked by Da Chu's reinforcements, but he did not panic at all. Seeing the figure of Tang Wannian under the Chinese army from a distance, the corners of Lang Xianxian's mouth couldn't help but show a mocking sneer: Just a defeated general, what can I do?!
Just as he was about to take advantage of the victory to drive his troops and horses to continue the attack, he suddenly turned his head and caught a glimpse of a large chaos in his friendly camp not far away, which seemed to be showing signs of defeat. This shouldn't be!
Just as he was about to send someone to inquire about the news, a fast horse had rushed to the front at a gallop, and the captain on the horse said in a loud voice: "Report...... Pioneer Officer Lang, there is smoke rising in the direction of our army's base camp, whether our army will continue to attack the thieves or return to the defense and rescue, please decide! ”。
Lang Zhendong's eyes widened, taken aback, and before he could make up his mind, a captain rushed to him again. "Report ...... General Lang, the commander of the friendly army on my left has unfortunately died, and the whole army has begun to retreat ......".
Lang Zhendong had a "buzz" in his head, turned around and looked in the direction of the friendly army, turned around and looked at the back of Weng Yichun who fled with a horse and the banner of the Great Chu reinforcements who were shouting and rushing, and gritted his teeth hatefully and said: "There is no chance of winning this battle, pass on my general order: Mingjin withdraw the troops and return to the camp of our army!" ”。
The eyes of the old general Yan on the horse were full of surprise, he didn't expect that the little white face in front of him, the yellow-haired child was young, and his marksmanship was so weird and exquisite!
At the beginning of the fight, after a short period of temptation, the two also attacked and defended each other. But after dozens of rounds, General Yan had to lament that the years were unforgiving, he was really old, and his old eyes were dizzy. Because a large area of plum blossoms appeared in front of me, this should be an illusion that only appears when you are old.
Old General Yan danced the golden gun in his hand, forming a golden iron wall of iron and copper in front and behind him, and tried his best not to give Guan Yu on the opposite side a chance.
Guan Yu found that the opponent had given up all the offensive and changed to a defensive position, and he couldn't help him for a while. deliberately sold a few flaws and led the old general Yan to attack, who expected him to ignore it completely, but he was not fooled.
You go back and forth, and the two have fought for a hundred and ten rounds, and it is still difficult to distinguish between them.
Hearing the sound of Mingjin coming from the Daqi camp, and seeing his brigade slowly retreating, Ma Maoxun did not hesitate to order Mingjin.
"The big worm" glanced back at his own Chinese army flag, and raised his long knife and ordered: "Stop chasing!" Listen to the general's order: all retreat, go back to the camp and drink! ”。
Tang Wannian led his troops to chase out Lixu, and when he saw that the Protector Army was retreating without chaos, there was no chance to take advantage of it, and he also decisively ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and finally won the battle, so let's accept it when it is good!
Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan who led his troops back, met Ma Dashuai, and after the two sides saluted each other, Ma Maoxun said: "Thank you King Pingnan for arriving in time and relieving the danger of our army!" ”。
Tang Wannian smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Ma Dashuai doesn't have to be polite, he is just under the order of my eldest brother, Da Chu and Ma Jiajun are already as close as a family, why do you need to separate each other?" ”。
Ma Maoxun smiled and nodded, "What King Pingnan said is extremely true. I don't know where the king of Dingbei is? ”。
"You ask my sixth brother? He is leading part of his troops to attack the Qi army camp at this moment! This was also the idea of the royal brother. ”
Ma Dashuai didn't say anything anymore, turned his head and exchanged glances with Han Junshi, and smiled slightly.
The silver-bearded old General Yan's face became more and more solemn, and after a hundred moves, he gradually felt that his arms were sore, and the movement of the spear involuntarily slowed down.
Guan Yu's eyes flashed, and the strength of his arms accelerated the pace of the attack. After several abrupt changes in a row, he finally found an opportunity and shot quickly without hesitation.
The trembling sharp tip of the spear was like a white snake spitting out a letter, and the big black iron spear finally broke through the barrier and leaned in. With a "poof", when the head of the gun was pulled out, it brought out a bright red stream from General Yan's arm.
The old general's face instantly turned pale and sallow, he clenched his teeth, quickly turned the horse's head without saying a word, and galloped away.
Guan Yu was about to catch up with the horse, and Du Zhongnian, who was splashed with blood, carried a long knife and rode his horse to his side, shouting: "General Guan, don't chase, our army has reported that the enemy army attacking the Ma family army has withdrawn and is rushing towards here!" ”。
When Guan Yu heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, glanced around the battlefield, and said hurriedly: "Don't think about eating a fat man, the future will be long." The herald ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and our army quickly withdrew! ”。
Hearing the sound of the thief Mingjin, General Yan was quite surprised: the bitter meat he had done was in vain, and that hateful little white face didn't give him a chance to use his horse pistol! But the wound on his arm was real, and at this moment, blood was still slowly oozing out from the gap in the black armor, and the pain was obviously aggravated.
When Lang Zhendong led a large group of people and hurried back to the camp in a hurry, he saw from a distance that the thick black smoke gathered over the camp had gradually dissipated, and only the tops of a few tents were still emitting green smoke.
Outside the gate of the camp, the silver-bearded General Yan led the soldiers to stand there, looking in his direction.
When he got closer, Lang Zhendong rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Commander, forgive your subordinates for returning slowly, and let go of the thieves who came to attack the camp!" ”。
General Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's talk about it first, have you ever defeated the Ma family's army and won a big victory?" ”。
Lang Zhendong's face turned red, he wanted to speak and stopped, and slowly lowered his head.
Old General Yan couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, sighed lightly, lowered his head and said, "Get up, and talk about it in detail after returning to the camp." ”
Lang Zhendong stood up, only to find the white strap on General Yan's left arm that was tightly wrapped around the bloodstains, and said in shock: "Dashuai, you have hung the lottery?" Is it badly injured? ”。
General Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's just a little bit of skin, don't make a fuss and disturb the hearts of our army!" ”。
Lang Zhendong knew that he was speechless, so he quickly closed his mouth and looked up, Old General Yan was still in good spirits and standing upright, but the beads of sweat on his forehead and his sallow face made Lang Zhendong's nose sour and his eyes red.
Looking at General Yan's aging face, Lang Zhendong's heart was full of deep guilt at the moment, and he had a sense of loss.
The slowly sinking sunset smeared the clear blue sky with a faint layer of blood.
After capturing Feihong Pass, Zhai Longbiao and Zhang Baiqian discussed, left 30,000 soldiers and horses, and selected two trustworthy generals from among the subordinate generals to jointly garrison Feihong Pass. He ordered the two of them to reorganize craftsmen to repair and strengthen the battered city wall to prevent the attack of grassland bandits.
On the way back to Qingzhou Mansion, Zhai Longbiao said to Zhang Baiqian: "Brother Baiqian, I have sent a fast horse to play the good news of our army's capture of Feihong Pass. I don't know what happened to the battle of the Holy Emperor! I expressed my heart in the recital, hoping that the Holy Lord would send my passers-by to the front line to have another enjoyable life! ”
Zhang Baiqian laughed and said: "Lord Xi, if one day I Dachu pacifies the world, there is no battle to fight, what will you do?" ”。
Zhai Longbiao was stunned and replied, "His grandmother's!" I really never thought about this question. When that day really comes, the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment, but will my Lao Zhai be suffocated to death with nothing to do? ”。
The two were talking and laughing, and suddenly a detective came to report, saying that a small group of grassland tribes had been found in front of them, and they probably wanted to bypass Feihong Pass and go to Qingzhou to rob some property.
Zhai Longbiao's eyes immediately lit up, and he turned his head to Zhang Baiqian and said: "Brother Baiqian, you and lead your subordinates to rest here for a while, and when I bring some men and horses to kill them, let's set off and return to Qingzhou Mansion together!" ”。
Zhang Baiqian laughed and said: "Lord Xi, this can be regarded as eradicating evil for the people of Qingzhou, and preventing trouble before it happens." Bring enough people and pay attention to safety! ”。
