Chapter 100: Breaking a Thousand Armies on a Snowy Night
The twilight was pale, and the sky was dim.
In Yanmen Pass, many generals have been prepared and are ready to fight, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen are spread out in battle, and the black pressure is overwhelming.
There was a solemn atmosphere in the air, no one made a sound, and even the horses were quiet.
The Northwest Army is worthy of being the most elite army in Great Qin, and this kind of momentum and military discipline is not much stronger than the likes of the Hedong Army.
Father Shuai is really a peerless general, and he has trained this tiger and wolf division, which is enough to sweep the world. Jing Ge secretly thought that these soldiers were his father's life's work, and they were also the greatest wealth he left to himself.
Father, I won't let you down!
He looked up at the night sky and whispered.
Tens of thousands of iron horsemen were on standby, but he was not in a hurry or impatient, still standing quietly in front of the formation. The Ranger Scout had been sent out, and he was counting the timing in his mind.
"Your Highness, put on your armor." Qianxue said, holding a set of silver-white armor.
Jing Ge nodded, and asked Qianxue to put on the battle armor for him.
"Where's Yu Jue's girl?" Jing Ge asked, there were only two women in Yanmen Pass, but now they are nowhere to be seen.
"She's on the upper floor of Yanmen Gate." Chiyuki replied.
Yu Jue, this girl likes to play the most, and Jing Ge was worried that she would be pestered to go to the battlefield together. Now it seems that she knows that she is too weak, inexperienced, and has never messed around, and just wants to watch from afar on the city wall.
"Your Highness is really powerful and domineering when you put on this armor." After Qianxue dressed him in armor, he said in a low voice with a smile.
"Since you feel domineering, why don't you put one on?" Jing Ge also asked with a smile.
"Domineering is domineering, but after all, it's in the way, so I don't want to wear that thing." Qianxue said in disgust, she naturally wanted to follow Jingge to the battlefield, and she had no intention of wearing armor.
She practiced the art of killing, strange and agile, and most importantly flexible and fast. Besides, she didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, but just to protect Jing Ge in case of accidents. What if you can't respond in time to a pinch.
Jing Ge knew her thoughts, and she was not reluctant. It's just that she doesn't wear armor, and in the chaos of the army, the stray arrows and dark arrows can't be guarded against, so you have to look at her a little when you are fighting.
"It's time." Jing Ge said softly, the armies on both sides of Xiliang have already withdrawn a little half, and it is a good opportunity to be in chaos.
"The people will obey."
"Yes." All the generals responded in unison.
"After General Yang Guo led the left army out of the pass, he went straight to the Xiliang camp along the stream, and after defeating the enemy, he burned all the heavy grain and grass and other utensils. There was no need to pursue and defeat the deserters, and directly led the army to march west for thirty miles, attacking the main force of the Ninth Army of Xiliang from the flank. Jing Ge said loudly.
"Command." Yang Guo replied immediately.
"General Du Zhong led his army to cross the high slope through the narrow road, and rushed to the camp of the right army of the Xiliang Forward, which was a cavalry camp with a large number of war horses. After defeating the enemy, he did not pursue, but only drove the enemy's war horses to the place where the main army of Xiliang was stationed. He tied a cotton wool to his horsetail and lit it when he approached the enemy camp, and the army then rushed to kill him. Jing Ge continued to order.
"The last general commands." Du Zhong replied.
Earlier, he was still wondering why Jing Ge asked him to prepare so many fire-burning things, but then he suddenly realized that it was used for such purposes.
It was the middle of winter, the weather was dry, and after the horses were burned, they would go berserk, act as vanguards, trample on the enemy, and it would be difficult to stop, and in the chaos, they would ignite the camp tents, grain and grass and other items.
This kind of tactic is really exquisite, and the young marshal is really resourceful, very human, and worthy of being the son of the generalissimo. He sighed and admired in his heart.
"If there is a surrender, none of them will be killed." Jing Ge emphasized that he only wanted to defeat the Xiliang garrison, destroy their baggage and siege equipment, so that they could not attack the city in a short time, and did not want to make more killings.
"The right army goes first, the left army follows, and they go out of the pass in turn." Jing Ge jumped on the war horse and said with a spear in his hand.
The heavy door slowly opened, and Yang Guo and Du Zhong each led 20,000 horsemen to do as they were told.
Jing Ge also led 30,000 iron horsemen out of Yanmen Pass, stepping on the unmelted snow on the road, silver armor and spears flashing with cold light under the light of torches.
He looked back at the slowly lowering gate behind him, a faint figure standing on the tall city wall, and he took a deep breath of cold air.
"Brothers, follow me to attack the military tent in Xiliangzhong, capture Tuoba Chang, and raise the prestige of my northwest army." He rushed out first, and Qian Xue rode closely to his side, flanked by Zuo Qi Yang Ding and other generals.
Out of Yanmen Pass, Xiliang's scouts must have sensed it and wanted to attack before they could react.
The elite cavalry marched at a very fast pace, less than fifty miles away in a moment.
"Report, enemy attack."
"The Great Qin Northwest Army went out of Yanmen Pass and attacked our army at night." A scout tumbled off his horse and rushed into the tent of Tuoba Chang.
"What?" Tuoba Chang's face changed greatly, but he didn't expect Xu Zhe to say that the Northwest Army really dared to take the initiative to attack the Xiliang army.
He hurriedly went out of the camp tent, only to see the fire on the left and right sides near the direction of Yanmen Pass, and it was red in the dark night, and when he was about to order the whole army to meet the enemy, he suddenly heard the roar of war drums, and the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground was like thunder.
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
The neighing of war horses and the shouts of killing were incessant, and the main army was on fire in the garrison. War horses dragged torches and scurried around the barracks, and within a few moments, most of the barracks were set on fire.
His face was as dead as ashes, and he froze for a moment, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Where are the generals? Where are the heralds? He shouted, but the barracks were in disarray, with all kinds of voices mixed together, and only a few guards followed.
"Newspaper, commander, the left and right striker camps are all defeated and fallen." A scout found him in the chaos and hurried forward to report.
"Commander Tuoba, get on your horse quickly, and the last general will escort you away." A general led the guards in front of him, dismounted and said.
"Leave? There are hundreds of thousands of troops in my Xiliang here, and there are only a few soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass, even if all of them are out of the pass, I am not afraid, and quickly give me the whole army to fight. Tuoba often roared loudly, furious.
The general looked around, and there was chaos, and the camp was full of fire. The soldiers panicked, and in a hurry, where did they have time to assemble an army that could resist the onslaught of the iron cavalry battle array.
It must be known that hundreds or thousands of iron horsemen were gathered, and the impact was extremely amazing, even the Grandmaster of the King Realm could only avoid its edge, and ordinary soldiers could only be crushed into pulp.
Defeat was a foregone conclusion, and he knew that Tuoba often had difficulty accepting this fact for a while.
"Commander, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, at this time, it is better to withdraw one after another, and it is better to fight again one day." He persuaded, anxious as the sound of horses' hooves drew nearer.
At this time, it was late at night, and Sergeant Xiliang had already taken off his vest to rest. After the attack, it was impossible to put on the armor of the war horse so quickly and go into battle, it must have been the Great Qin Northwest Army coming to the side of the Chinese military tent, intending to capture the commander.
"Impossible, pass on the order of our army, the whole army will fight to the death against the enemy, and retreat to the latter and make a decision." Tuoba Chang pulled out his sword and got on his horse, and said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a handsome flag embroidered with gold on a black background break through the night and appear in front of him.
The man at the head was in a white robe and silver armor, holding a spear, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a girl in pink clothes was beside him in addition to a group of generals.
At this moment, in Tuoba Chang's view, Jing Ge's smile was undoubtedly to the extreme, and after seeing this expression, he couldn't wait to swallow Jing Ge alive on the spot.
Xiliang's generals obviously also felt the breath of Jing Ge and his party, and many masters were gathering here.
At this time, Tuoba Chang only had one general and a team of guards by his side, while Jing Ge had dozens of generals to follow, and there were thousands of iron horsemen ready to go behind him.
"General Yang Guo, the Tuoba Commander will be handed over to you." Jing Ge smiled and said to Yang Guo behind him, Yang Guo rushed to join Jing Ge after leading the army to attack the left flank.
"It's a pleasure." Yang Guo looked at Tuoba Chang and replied with a sneer, and immediately slapped his horse forward.
Before, Tuoba Changyin made Yang Guo, but now he is very angry, so he has a debt and a master.
"The rest of the people are going to stop the Xiliang generals." Jing Ge commanded.
Jing Ge immediately watched Yang Guo and Tuoba often fight in the chaotic army, both of them were in the realm of grandmasters, but it could be seen that Yang Guo had the upper hand and could defeat him in a short time.
"Yang Menshiro, it really lives up to its reputation." Qianxue whispered, while also guarding the embankment.
Her arm was slightly injured, and her skin was broken by a dark arrow, if it weren't for Jing Ge's quick eyes and quick hands, she would have been injured if she had no energy to hit the arrow.
This made her feel very embarrassed, she was originally here to protect His Highness, but it was the other way around. It's not that her strength is not advanced enough, nor is her spiritual sense not sharp enough, but in the battlefield shrouded in night, it is too complex and unpredictable to cover everything.
You never know which of the thousands of soldiers in the field has already set their sights on you, looking for an opportunity to sneak up. This is completely different from the duel in the rivers and lakes, the soldiers who have bathed in blood are all extremely sinister and cunning, and they are poisonous snakes hiding in the dark.
"Second Brother Yang is about to win." Jing Ge said that Tuoba Chang was already injured.
"Uh-huh, General Yang be careful." Qian Xue reminded him, and at the same time pulled out the Frost Sword and turned into a light and shadow and jumped forward, stabbing three sword qi at one place to force the person back.
In the firelight, a red-robed figure appeared.
That person was Heqing who came in a hurry, and when she saw the fire from afar, she knew that the general trend had gone, and what the Prime Minister expected was indeed fulfilled.
When he arrived here, he saw that Tuoba was often fighting with Yang Guo, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rescue him, but as soon as he approached, he let Qianxue find out.
"Miss Heqing, meet again." Jing Ge smiled on horseback and nodded in greeting.
He Qing was already full of resentment, and when he saw him smiling at this moment, he was even more angry, and he wanted to strangle him on the spot.
I want to be calm, I am the protector of Xiliang. can't be rude, can't greet his whole family, lose his identity, calm and calm, and Qing silently chanted in his heart to calm himself down.
"Hmph, the young marshal is really powerful, he just returned to Yanmen Pass, and he defeated hundreds of thousands of our Xiliang troops." He Qing said coldly.
"Hehe, I've won prizes." Jing Ge replied shyly, in fact, he was quite embarrassed in his heart, but he was forced to be helpless.
"Is this how the young marshal repays us Xiliang?" He Qing looked at Jing Ge.
"I promised that one day, if I had to fight against Xiliang. The captured generals and soldiers will not be killed, and they will return to Xiliang, and they will not break their promises. Jing Ge replied, still smiling, but his smile was a little stiff.
"Okay, then I'll take the Tuoba Commander away." He Qing said that the defeat of Xiliang was a foregone conclusion, and the only thing he could do at this moment was to take Tuoba Chang away.
"No, you can't." Jing Ge said.
"Qianxue, go and help General Yang capture Tuoba Chang." He said to Qianxue.
Qianxue left in response.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't break your word?" He Qing glared at him angrily, it turned out to be a villain who rebelled?
"Only if he is captured, can it be considered returned, and if he is let go now, it will not be returned." Jing Ge replied with a smile.
He said crooked reasoning like this, which seemed to Heqing to be a superfluous move. In fact, it is not the case, the capture of the enemy commander has a completely different meaning, as for whether to let it go or not, that is another matter.
"You... This seat will shoot you to death. He Qing didn't think of his intentions, he only felt that he was playing with himself, he was so angry at the moment that he couldn't control himself anymore, so he flashed forward and slapped Jing Ge on the head.
Qianxue, who was not far away, changed her face greatly, and she was extremely worried about Jing Ge's safety, the power of this palm was too amazing, and she was powerless to rescue at all.
He Qing drove hundreds of miles, and the consumption was huge, and the true yuan at this time was less than half of what it was in its heyday, otherwise the three swords of Qianxue would not be able to force her back at all. But even so, she struck with all her might, and there were few people in the world who could afford it.
There was a loud bang.
A deep pit appeared in the middle of the earth, and inside the pit was a lump of flesh and mud, mixed with white broken bones and dirt, which was very disgusting.
"Your Highness." Qianxue cried out in a lost voice, and for a moment she thought that Jingge had been slapped into a lump of minced meat.
But soon she was relieved, and she saw Jing Ge standing on the edge of the pit unscathed.
"Hey, it's disgusting." Jing Ge said that that piece of minced meat was his war horse.
"Hmph." He Qing turned around and left, not wanting to see the person in front of him for a moment.
Originally, she was a little worried that this palm would really slap him to death, and she didn't know how to explain it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. However, worrying is obviously superfluous, this product is a little stronger than imagined, and under the lock of his own gas machine, he can still get out and avoid it.
"I'm gone, and I'm looking for a way to continue my life. Oh my God, let the stinky boy die soon. She looked at the fire in the sky and cursed, with infinite grievances in her heart.
