Chapter 2 (Part 3)
Cheng Mingzhen was an important minion under the command of Liu Kou Zhang Jincheng back then. And where Zhang Jiajun passed, even the locusts would not take another look. After learning from the scout's mouth that the Zhaozhou battalion appeared on Niutou Mountain, Wei Chi Jingde immediately couldn't sit still. After discussing with Liu Wuzhou for a while, he quickly gathered two thousand light horsemen, preparing to eliminate this sudden variable as soon as possible.
After more than two years of suffering, Liu Wuzhou was already exhausted, sent Wei Chi Jingde to the city gate, took the other party's hand and admonished: "Jingde, be more careful yourself." Li's children have always been cunning, and they will not give us a piece of meat for no reason. ”
"Even if it's a piece of bait, it's worth swallowing. I don't believe in 5,000 thieves, and you can still stop my 2,000 elites! Wei Chi Jingde raised the lance in his hand and responded very proudly. Whether the situation can be reversed is in one fell swoop tonight. Kill him, and the morale of the enemy will be lost. The lord took advantage of the situation to go out of the city to cover up and kill, and the end of the general echoed with the momentum of the big victory, even if the Li family child gave birth to three heads and six arms, he had to hug his head and run away! ”
"The lonely general will personally see off Jingde at the head of the city!" Liu Wuzhou nodded, with a bit of desolation in his words, "If there is disharmony, return it." As long as you are alone for a day, the gates of Fenyang City will be open for you for a day! ”
"If the end is the end, he will not come back. Don't delay any longer, and retreat to Mayi! Listening to Liu Wuzhou's sour words, Wei Chi Jingde was also a little sad in his heart, smiled, and said loudly: "I can gallop under the command of the lord, and I will have no regrets in this life." Mayi is the border between the Turks and the Central Plains, with a vast territory and complex people's feelings. Li Zhongjian, Luo Yi, Datang, Turkic, and the four wrestled, and no one dared to stretch out their hands rashly. As long as the lord gets there, he will be able to turn the crisis into safety. The green mountains are here, and sooner or later there will be a chance to make a comeback! ”
Liu Wuzhou still wanted to say something, looked at Wei Chi Jingde's resolute eyes, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Lone has written it down!" Loneliness will not be honored! Lonely will not fail you! Please get on the horse and be alone for you! ”
"No!" Wei Chi Jingde lightly arched his hand on horseback, and then with the strength of his legs, he took the lead in rushing out of the city gate. The 2,000 elite cavalry formed a long snake, and under the cover of night, they turned eastward and headed straight for Niutou Mountain. The starry sky is like a chaotic jade, shining coldly, illuminating everyone's eyes and illuminating the sharp blade of the lance. The blade that drank countless blood seemed to have spirituality in an instant, and slowly began to tremble, tremble, and hum in the wind.
In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, he deliberately chose to leave the city in the middle of the night. In three minutes, we arrived at the foot of Niutou Mountain. After scattering the scouts to block the roads leading to Fenyang, Wei Chi Jingde ordered the whole army to dismount, cultivate their spirits on the grass, and prepare to strike a thunderous blow at the enemy at dawn.
Even though it was late summer, the wind in the north was still chilly. Through the armor wet with dew, it seeps into the human skin inch by inch. Wei Chi Jingde couldn't sleep, so he carried a lance and patrolled back and forth between the improvised camps. Many of the brothers were not tired and huddled together, warming each other with their body temperatures, while whispering lamenting the impermanence of the world. They are desperate for the future. There were many complaints about Liu Wuzhou in the conversation. When he saw his own coach coming over, he quickly closed his mouth. Wei Chi Jingde smiled, pretended not to hear anything, and walked over silently. At this point, the soldiers have done their best, and there is really no need to accuse them of anything. I'm afraid the rest will be decided by God. Winning or losing, success or failure, is doomed.
Following Wei Chi Jingde was General Fenwei 6 Jianfang. He was two rounds older than Wei Chi Jingde, and his body bones were no longer as good as they were back then, and he shivered lightly as he walked.
"Old 6, let's go to the tent and squint for a while. This time is the coldest, and when the sun comes out, the cold will pass! For his loyal deputy, Wei Chi Jingde always maintained a respect, smiled, and turned back to give him orders.
"Forget it, it's hot for a walk! With old arms and legs, it is not easy to move again as soon as you sleep, don't delay the general's business! 6 Jianfang grinned, wisps of white mist emerging from his thick beard. The general will go and take a nap by himself, and I'll keep an eye on it in the middle of the night! ”
"I can't sleep!" Wei Chi Jingde shook his head lightly and rejected the kindness of 6 Jianfang. After so many years of fighting, it is the first time that he has a feeling of panic like today. The other party is just a small thief, maybe a charge can defeat him and capture him. But Wei Chi Jingde just felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't find the slightest clue about what the problem was.
"I can't sleep either!" Du Shigui, the general of the Broken Front, came up from behind and spoke in a low voice. "I used to feel a lot, but lately, I always wake up in the middle of the night. Stare until dawn! ”
"If you can't sleep, don't sleep. In the future, there will be time for us to sleep! 6 Jianfang turned his head and smiled bitterly and sneered.
"What do you mean!" Wei Chi Jingde frowned, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in his words. The soldiers are in prison *to prison*, and he can be ignored. However, if even the generals begin to spread information about defeat and disrupt the morale of the army, there will be no hope of winning this battle.
"It's not interesting!" Lao Cheng's serious 6 Jianfang changed his usual habits, smiled, and asked in a low voice: "General Wei Chi, do you really think that by eating the enemy army on the hillside, we can reverse the decline in one fell swoop?" ”
Wei Chi Jingde had already thought about this problem, although he repeatedly announced to everyone that this battle was the key to determining the outcome of the battle. He and Liu Wuzhou both knew very well in their hearts that defeating the Zhaozhou battalion would only boost morale, and what the specific outcome would be, I am afraid it would take a long time before several vicious battles could be seen. But in front of several middle-level generals, he couldn't destroy his confidence, glared at 6 Jianfang, and shouted in a low voice: "Why can't you?" Although the scale is small, it can be pressed. The two children of the Li family were not harmonious in the first place, and if they lost before the battle, they would inevitably shirk each other's responsibilities. When they are in chaos without a fight, I will take you to attack them one by one, and I will definitely be able to drive them back to the south of Huoyi. What's the matter, old 6, you're afraid, just say it if you're afraid. I don't need you to go into battle tomorrow morning! ”
"I'm afraid I haven't had it before. Since he followed the lord across the Liaohe pontoon bridge, 6 no longer knows that afraid word! 6 Jianfang was red-faced by Yu Chi Jingde's words, stalked his neck, and responded angrily.
"So what's wrong with you today? The head door was kicked by a donkey! Wei Chi Jingde saw that the other party suddenly relied on the old and sold the old, and put on the old courage, and his words became sharper.
"It was different then than it is today!" 6 Jianfang looked at his surroundings, and saw that there were not many brothers nearby, sighed, and said frankly. "General Wei Chi, don't be angry first, listen to 6 and finish speaking. 6. A certain person is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. Back then, I followed the lord across the river to conquer Liao, and hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people surrounded us and fought hundreds of people. 6 XX's legs and stomach didn't tremble! ”
Taking a long breath, he continued, "But then and now it was different. At that time, 6 knew in his heart what he was doing. Even if he died on the east bank of the Liao River, he didn't dare to let the hundreds of thousands of eyes behind him see the joke. 6 felt at that time that death would be death, and His Majesty would bury 6 with the three generals Mai Tiezhu, Qian Shixiong, and Meng Jincha, as well as thousands of brothers who died in battle a few days ago. In the future, no matter which dynasty or generation, as long as the Central Plains is still the Central Plains of the Central Plains, passers-by will give a thumbs up when they see the tombstone of 6 and praise 6 for a certain man! ”
It is rare to hear 6 Jianfang talk about these old things, and everyone does not dare to interrupt, and listens with a little respect. Gently wiping away the old tears from the corners of his eyes, 6 Jianfang smiled miserably, "But now, General Wei Chi, do you know what you're doing?" 6 So-and-so, do you, including our lords, understand what you are doing? Our banner was given by the Turks, the title was given by the Turks, the mount under the crotch, the weapons in the hands, and the food in the mouth were still given by the Turks. The Turks let us bite whoever we want. As soon as the Turks shook the rope in their hands, we had to crawl back with a chirp! ”
"Enough!" Wei Chi Jingde interrupted angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about?" For the sake of following the lord back then, I will spare you once today. If we mess with our army's heart again, we will be dealt with by military law! ”
"Today's ** is under military law, and he ** is under the enemy's knife, I'm afraid it's no different." 6 Jianfang sneered, his eyes full of desolation. "6 only hates now, why didn't he die on the east bank of Liaoshui back then, and lived for all these years in vain."
"Enough!" Wei Chi Jingde was furious, and he stretched out his hand and pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist. Seeing this, Du Shigui hurriedly stepped forward to block Wei Chi Jingde with his back, pushed 6 Jianfang, and shouted in a low voice: "Okay, okay, you don't say a word." The general should not be like the old 6, he was confused by the mount tonight. We are Turkic dogs, not Li Yuan? When he started the army, he didn't borrow the power of the Turks? ”
"But Li Yuan then joined forces with the hussar general to keep the Turks out of the Great Wall!" 6 Jianfang was pushed back again and again, but he still kept talking. "General Wei Chi, if you don't think about yourself, think more for your brothers!"
"I tied him up, stuffed him with horse manure in my mouth, and dragged him into my tent. After the thief is destroyed, he will be handed over to the lord for disposal! Wei Chi Jingde couldn't wait to cut off the 6 Jianfang with a knife, and in the face of the generals, he ordered hatefully. Listening to the footsteps of the crowd going away, he turned and slashed the rock under his feet with his sword.
"Dangchang!" With a bang, the horizontal knife penetrated half an inch deep into the rock, and then cracked into several sections. Wei Chi Jingde stared at the half-cut blade in his hand and was stunned. His ancestors were humble and noble, so he didn't have such a strong Hu and Han distinction in his heart. But 6 Jianfang's words just now deeply troubled him, "General Wei Chi, do you know what you're doing?" "General Wei Chi, do you know what you're doing?" "General Wei Chi, do you know what you're doing?!!!
