Chapter 41: Don't be a scapegoat

Let's say that Duan Mingyi led more than 1,000 elites to break through the siege first, and Shunshun passed through the camp where the soldiers blocked the southern base. But Duan Mingyi remembered Wang Ze's explanation before leaving, the easier it was to break the siege, the more he was beating the drum in his heart-it didn't make sense, even if some soldiers and horses were transferred to it, the frontal interception would not have to be so weak

If the soldiers were really so weak, our army would have counterattacked in an all-round way two days earlier, and maybe they would be able to capture Shihu alive!

The key is that this time the encirclement and ambush were originally Shi Hu's temporary intentions, lack of detailed planning, and the army's organizational strength - at least the organizational strength of some teams - is not very strong, you want the soldiers to act like a play, how can it be that the S world is not moving in the righteous machine is what "deceit and defeat", but even if the Qi army is really defeated in history, Cao Di still has to "look down at its rut and look at it", and only after repeated observation can he determine the pursuit, is it really so easy to deceive the enemy and lure the enemy?

Therefore, the easier it is to advance, the more bottomless Duan Mingyi's heart becomes, feeling that what the general said is true, and there must be an ambush in front of the thief. However, the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to turn around and turn back, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of it, you can only brave the past!

Duan Ming said that I received the great favor of General Wang, from a northern captive, promoted to the governor of the middle of the army, with nearly a thousand people under his command, and he was a supervisor in the past, if he was still in the Xianbei Duan Department, he was qualified to be called "adult" by his clan. In particular, the Metropolitan Governor ordered the generals to change their nationality, and I also moved my household registration to Anding Yinmi, and according to the guidance of Ying Sima, I claimed to be a descendant of Ji Zheng Gongshu Duan

From now on, I am no longer Di and Yi, but an upright Chinese, and the Miao Yin b fake household registration book of the Zhou royal family can be passed on to the descendants, and no one will come to pick on the thorns!

Of course, the premise is that most governors have to be in power all the time, and there is also - they can't be greedy for life and afraid of death, and they can't violate military discipline!

All in all, I was defeated and trapped in karma, and I should die; finally escaped, but he couldn't return to the thistle, and was forced to live in the Central Plains, with homeless people and beggars, and he deserved to die at that time. To tell the truth, Pei Jun, who first joined the Northern Expedition, purely hit the big luck, just for that part of the food and salary, although I did not join the Hu army, although they belonged to different camps, the Duan family and Hu Han rarely clashed directly), I did not join the ancestral army, but joined the command of the Metropolitan Governor and General Wang!

Anyway, he should have died a long time ago, even if he died on the battlefield today, what kind of horseskin shroud, what kind of regret is there?! Regardless of whether there is an ambush ahead, I will fight my best to fight a bloody road, so that General Wang and the main army can escape, "If there is a trap, I will fill the trench and pave the road with my body; If there is a wall in front of me, even if it is made of steel, even if my head is broken and my brain is bleeding, I will knock out a gap!

Now that he has made up his mind, his heart is calm, and even his expression is a lot more relaxed. He rode his horse slowly, and his subordinate generals followed behind him, protruding about four or five miles, resting for a while, and inquiring about the news behind him. It has to be reported that the main force has already stood out and is about to catch up—in fact, you can see the flag from a distance, and you will know the difference—as for General Wang, who seems to have been intercepted, is fighting.

However, General Wang also sent someone to report it, don't pay attention to him, if he can highlight the whole army, Duan Mingyi will be a great achievement, and he can be promoted to the deputy of the battalion!

Duan Mingyi cheered up his spirit and beckoned the soldiers to get up: "It's enough to rest, the next trip should be five miles faster, straight to the southwest∫ Zhiru and most others have all the water in their pockets, and when they are close to Fenshui, they can drink freely!" ”

Seeing that all the soldiers were in good spirits, standing up, and the queue was tight, and the main force was about to catch up, Duan Mingyi waved the spear in his hand, drove the war horse, and galloped south.

Walking not far away, I suddenly saw countless flags looming on the horizon, most of them were black, drawing all kinds of bird patterns, which was the color of the Zhao flag. Duan Mingyi had already prepared, and he didn't feel panicked, but he became excited because of this, and he only felt that the blood all over his body began to boil - "Sure enough, as General Wang expected, Duan Mou has made meritorious contributions today!" Immediately greeted his subordinates:

"I once heard a monk say that death is not like a lamp going out, reincarnation and the afterlife, as long as you die as you deserve, there are no regrets in your heart, the sins of this life can be washed away, and the next life will be entrusted to the family of the rich and noble in the peaceful season. If you have regrets, say early, and if you have no regrets, you can charge with me! ”

He didn't know where he heard the Wild Fox Zen, and he might not be convinced of it, but now he hoped that it was indeed the truth. At the moment, this false statement was used to boost morale, and the soldiers said: "I have no regrets, and I am willing to kill the enemy with the superintendent!" Some people also shouted: "Daddy and mother, wife, Xuan, etc.) are already in Guanzhong, there is land to cultivate, there is food, I will reward you, and you can make a new dress with him, what are the regrets?" If he dies here now, he won't even have to plant the land, and he will eat my pension, let alone ten years! But where the governor rushes, whoever dares not to follow is raised by wild dogs! ”

Seeing that his morale was available, Duan Mingyi couldn't help but bow his head slightly, then slapped his horse and twisted his spear, and rushed straight towards the enemy formation.

On the opposite side of the enemy formation, it was naturally Guo Rong's department, more than 3,000 people, all in unison, seeing that the grain ships from Jiangyi did not dock on the west bank, but on the east bank, they left a single acoot to monitor, and left the river bank slightly, and set up a formation. He originally wanted to set up an ambush, but unfortunately here looked at the plains, although there were woods, but not very dense, occasionally the grass grew, but not very high, in a hurry really could not find a suitable place to hide∞ under the Nai, so he had to spread the banner high, with a dignified array to wait.

Near noon, I saw a pair of Jin soldiers rushing over, the first general, tall and tall, with a spear in his hand, which seemed to be quite majestic. Seeing this, Guo Rong hurriedly beat the drum and informed the departments to be vigilant, and then the archers moved forward steadily, and a round of feather arrows shot out like a torrential rain-

Duan Mingyi charged forward, and with a "Ao" sound, the arrow fell.

——————————

In fact, this guy was stupid, and with only one bloody courage, he launched a surprise attack on the three times the size of the Jiqi array, trying to open a bloody path for the main army. However, to the west of Fenshui, there are plain terrain for dozens of miles, and there are not even a few small mountain bags, Guo Rong has only 3,000 people, how long can he line up the array? It's good that you just go around it, why bother with soldiers from afar, and the conflict has already been arranged?

Although a hasty detour may be attacked by the enemy's flanks, but the opponent's movement is naturally difficult to maintain, and when the main army arrives, it can pass directly, or cooperate with the forward, and in turn flank Guo Rong. Duan Mingyi is not a general after all, and he lacks the ability to adapt to changes, so he only knows how to bite the bullet and collide head-on.

If I move quietly, the soldiers can naturally fire the arrows first. This pair of Jin troops are basically all infantry, so Duan Mingyi, who is prancing on his horse and spearing, and who is charging forward, has an extremely obvious goal, and almost five out of ten arrows are coming towards him-

Even if the gods descend to earth, with three heads and six arms, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the king to avoid it, Duan Mingyi immediately shouted, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground. There was a burst of cheers in the array, and the Jin soldiers also hurriedly stepped forward to help, probing his life and death, and saw Duan Mingyi fighting a carp, and then stood up again.

Because of the distance, the incoming arrows are mostly thrown, and the accuracy is limited - deliberately aiming at someone, the hit rate is even lower - but Duan Mingyi can wield a spear and block the arrows of those blind cats who touch the dead mouse, but he can't protect the mount that is more than twice as big as himself▲ The horse was hit by an arrow first, Duan Mingyi drew stirrups and jumped in time, although he also fell, he was not pressed to the ground - if he was really pressed under the horse corpse, even if he was not injured, it was estimated that he would not be able to get up easily. But at this time, he was shot in the torso by three feathered arrows, fortunately two of them failed to penetrate the armor, and one shot into his rough and thick ventral side, piercing the skin and not penetrating the fat.

Such an injury was just a piece of cake for Duan Mingyi - it was a pity that he lost his mount - and hurriedly stood up at the moment and scolded the subordinates who came to the rescue: "Don't worry about me, I have armor on my body, where is it so easy to be killed by arrows?" Just charge forward! As he spoke, he still held his long spear and ran towards the enemy's ranks.

There was an endless stream of arrows in the array, but the Jin soldiers followed Duan Mingyi, all of them ran like crazy, and there was almost no array, so in the face of loose moving targets, the hit rate of the projectile was outrageously low. Even after the Jin soldiers ran closer and closer, the archers of the Qiang army were able to shoot directly, and only dozens of people were actually hit by the arrows and fell.

Along the way, Duan Mingyi still charged ahead, and still attracted most of the arrows, the spear eventually grew up, and the operation on the flat ground was not flexible enough, resulting in a lot of feather arrows, shooting him like a hedgehog Fortunately, as a minister, the armor is also quite sophisticated, Duan Mingyi is also experienced, try to dodge, block those arrows that may hit the vital point, so this "hedgehog" ran without hindrance, until it approached the array.

Guo Rong gave the order, the archers retreated in unison, and the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers advanced forward. I thought that since the enemy army was scattered, as long as I waited for the battle, the battle would be easy. Who would have thought that as soon as Duan Mingyi saw the other party change formation, he immediately stumbled a few steps, stopped, and then pointed his spear towards the ground, shouting: "The whole column {column!} ”

The Jin soldiers who were originally following the running quickly gathered over, and in just a few breaths, they formed a military formation that was not strictly organized, but could basically see the shape. Guo Rong couldn't help but look dizzy, and said in his heart that the Jin army in Guanzhong is really a big enemy of us, and said that looking at the spirit of these soldiers, it is likely to be a selection of sharp soldiers, but if you invite the troops of my Taiyuan King to come out and try to do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it, right?

The soldiers and horses of the impatient strategy were slowly pressed over with a strict formation. Duan Mingyi also drew his spear from the ground, personally guarded the general, and rushed to the array, and the two sides collided in one place, and the short soldiers were in each other's hands, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the fight was extremely fierce.

However, although the Jin army was brave, the number of the Jin army was three times that of it, especially the cavalry under Guo Rong. When the battle was not long, Guo Rong sent the cavalry left and right, copied the Jin formation, and sent arrows to harass. More and more of the Jin soldiers were shot and fell, and the array, which was not strict enough, became even more chaotic.

Guo Rongzheng is smug - he will be brave when he comes, but unfortunately he has no brains, and since he saw that there were many of my soldiers, he should have retreated in a hurry; Or straighten up the queue, confront me, and wait for the opportunity, what are you doing in a hurry to charge-suddenly a cavalry galloped back to report that there was a faint Jin banner in the distance, and it was killing us.

Guo Rong was blinded at that time, what does Jin people mean by this? came to respond and help the grain and grass, and even divided into two echelons, so open? Urgently probe again, especially to observe clearly, how many Jin people broke through and went south to respond.

But then a cavalry with an order came over and informed Guo Rong: "This is not the Jin people going south to receive the winning army, but the main force breaking the siege and wanting to flee back to Jiangyi." General Zhang was blocking his rear troops, and the king strictly ordered that General Guo must block the people until reinforcements arrived, that is, they would be annihilated on the plains! ”

When Guo Rong heard the report, he couldn't help frowning, and asked: "How many Jin people broke out of the siege?" ”

The herald reported: "No less than five thousand"

This is purely out of Zhang Raccoon's judgment, in fact, it is wrong, Wang Ze's department was originally in 10,000 to zero, and 500 were given to Mo Huaizhong, and Yu Yao Temple fought fiercely for several days, and the casualties were just over 1,000; Coupled with the difficulty of moving, the seriously wounded who were forced to abandon them in the Yao Temple - it was said in advance that you were all killed in battle, and your family could be compensated, if you refused to fight for the last time, you would simply give a knife to avoid falling into the hands of thieves - there were more than 8,000 people in the remainder, of which sixty percent were elite soldiers.

After Zhang Raccoon informed Shi Hu of this erroneous information, he immediately dispatched to intercept Wang Ze, but was killed. By this time, he also had a certain number in his heart, and it was estimated that the Jin people had already come out of the division, and Wang Ze was the main general, and the troops he led were elite, which was the last army of soldiers and horses after the break. However, when Ma Chi returned from Shihu and asked about the battle situation on the front line, Zhang Raccoon instinctively lied

Because Shi Hu's temper is too fierce, he especially likes to criticize people. Logically speaking, it was he who ordered the nearby troops to encircle the city, indulged the Jin soldiers to go south, and then ordered Zhang Raccoon to cut off his retreat. But based on Zhang's knowledge of Shi Hu, he is likely to put all the blame on someone else—say, someone joining the army.

Of course, with Zhang Raccoon's identity, status, and degree of reuse, Shi Hu is unlikely to be heavily responsible after calmly considering it - to put it bluntly, Zhang Raccoon will be responsible, but the main scapegoat will not be him. However, after all, it has to be after the fact, if I report that the department is defeated, the Jin Renjun escapes, and the king is not far away, he will definitely disregard his own safety and run to the front line to take over my command, just his violent temper, when he is in flames, he is just a brain, and it is possible to cut me directly with a knife!

Therefore, he can only be defeated for the time being, so as not to let Shi Hu come to the front in person. Zhang Raccoon intends to gather all the nearby soldiers and horses, and personally lead the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, if he is lucky, he can fight with Guo Rong before and after, and the enemy will be severely damaged, then whether he wins or loses at this time, whether there is a lie or a deception, may not be pursued after the war; If you are unlucky, you don't wait for the main force in the north to come down, and the Jin people run away, then the main responsibility is also used in Guo Rong, who is in charge of blocking in front, instead of me who is hurrying behind me, right?

- Zhang Raccoon is indeed a brave man, he doesn't have too many brains, but as for the helper Shihu who has no brains or doesn't care, he has already been killed by him, and basically can't live today.

Therefore, Shi Hu listened to the report, and thought that half of the Jin people had escaped, and it was estimated that the old and weak and wounded soldiers were all blocked by Zhang Raccoon in the south base, and urgently sent his troops to Guo Rong to send an order, asking him to block the people, otherwise he would be severely punished! When Guo Rong heard this, he was slightly taken aback, knowing that today was a red battle, but fortunately, the Jin people refused to take a detour, and directly crashed into my array, and there was Zhang Raccoon chasing and killing behind him, so he would look for an opportunity to annihilate it on the plain, or at least it would be extremely killed, so it would not be a big problem, right?
