By the time Chai Shao led his army to the river, the battle to capture the bridge was over. More than 1,300 cavalry of the Li family stood motionless on the river beach on the south bank of the river like frost-beaten crops. The soldiers of the Zhaozhou battalion on the other side of the river were allowed to cut timber on the other side of the river, and set up a series of repellent horses on the north side of the bridge.

Seeing this scene, the anger in Chai Shao's heart suddenly soared. Breaking away from the protection of the guards, he rushed to the middle of the cavalrymen who were staying, and roared in a low voice: "What's the matter? Where did Chai Xiuhe go? Let him see me! ”

The cavalrymen took a few steps back and opened their mouths, but none of them had the courage to respond. General Chai ruled the army with an iron fist, and the rewards and punishments were extremely clear. He never hesitates to reward those who have made meritorious deeds, and he has no mercy on those who have made mistakes. In the nightmarish battle just now, General Dingyuan was martyred. According to the "Great Sui" military law, their subordinates should rush across the bridge and die with all of them. And everyone didn't have the courage to fight to the end, and they couldn't snatch back the bodies of Chai Xiu and the general, so you can imagine what kind of punishment awaits them!

"Are you dumb, or stupid, what about Chai Xiuhe? He's dead? Seeing that no one stepped forward to answer his question, Chai Shao's heart sank suddenly, and he pricked up his eyes and stared at the nearest cavalryman to ask.

"Belong, subordinate......" The cavalryman was stared at with a weak back, but he could not avoid it, and immediately began to cry with sobs. The subordinates didn't know, and the subordinates didn't see it. The subordinates were slow, and by the time they arrived here, the battle was almost over......"

"Rubbish!" Chai Shaoce immediately took a few steps forward and pushed away the crying rider. Then he drew the horizontal knife at his waist, held it high and shouted: "What about the general who led the troops?" Whoever else is alive and comes to me! Mingfa joined the army and prepared to enforce military discipline! ”

He shouted out two sentences in one breath, and the cavalry standing at the bridgehead immediately reacted with a "boom". A few people turned their horses and tried to escape. But most of the cavalry jumped off their horses, fell heavily on their knees, and prostrated their heads.

"General, don't blame the brothers!" A lieutenant-like man crawled over with his hands and feet, hugging Chai Shao's horse legs and crying. "General Dingyuan, General Huaihualang and General Shide were all killed on the other side. The thieves sealed the bridge with the Mo knife team, and everyone couldn't get over it even if they fought for their lives, they couldn't get by! ”

"What!" Chai Shao raised the horizontal knife and slashed hard. The knife fell halfway, suddenly crooked, and slashed into the dirt beside the lieutenant, and broke into two with a "bell".

Dingyuan general Chai Xiuhe, Huaihualang general Li Dekan, and Shide general Liu Xingshen are all his descendants. Regardless of his personal martial arts and ability to lead troops, he is ranked first under him. The three generals were all killed in one day, what is left of this cavalry? This is the most elite soldier under his command, and now that the core generals are all dead, there is only a small captain left as the pillar, how can people not be heartbroken? It is important to know that the general is the soul of the army, an army that has lost its soul, no matter how many people there are, it is just a group of walking corpses, and it is impossible to put it into the battlefield again.

Full of grief and indignation, Chai Shao turned his head to look at the wooden bridge not far away. At this time, the entire bridge was stained red with blood. In a few places, the blood had not yet coagulated, and it was dripping down the edge of the bridge.

Under the bridge, there is the rushing autumn water. The flood season has arrived, and the water is very fast, but it can't wash away the wisps of red, making the whole river rush like blood.

That's all the elite I trained by my own hands! Looking at it, Chai Shao's eyes darkened, and his body began to shake. Although the lieutenant had a humble position, he was still very clever, regardless of the blade that was broken an inch away from him, he jumped up, hugged Chai Shao's body with both hands, and continued to cry: "General's Day mourning." General, the brethren have done their best. The bridge is too narrow, and rushing up to it is just a waste of death! ”

"If you die in vain, you have to die. If you lose the main general, you should have died on the other side of the river! Chai Shao struggled twice, broke free from the other party's support, his eyes were dark for a while, but the words that came out of his mouth refused to relax at all. You, from now on, are the general of Dingyuan, and this cavalry is all under your command. Give you a quarter of an hour to rest, and after a quarter of an hour, Lao Tzu will personally beat the drum for you! ”

"General!" The captain paused for a moment and retreated again and again. From the sixth rank of the captain of Zhaowu to the general of the fifth rank of Dingyuan, he was equal to three levels in succession. But these third-level official positions require him to exchange his life. General Chai himself said that he wanted to beat the drum for everyone. That is, let him take the more than 1,300 surviving cavalry behind him and fill all his lives on the bridge.

"Why, don't you dare?" Chai Shao frowned, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"The last general, General Xie, will not be killed!" The lieutenant gritted his teeth, stood up, and stood with his fists clenched.

"What about you, would you rather die under the sword of Mingfa joining the army, or would you like to die on the other side of the river!" Chai Shao turned his head sideways and shouted at the rest of the cavalry through gritted teeth.

The cavalry looked at each other and were silent for a moment, and finally someone took the lead and responded loudly, "General Xie is not beheaded." We are willing to sacrifice our lives to seize the bridge, and we will be ashamed! ”

"Good!" Chai Shao waved his arm vigorously. "Under my command Chai Shao, there is no room for misbreeding. It was Chai Xiu and incompetent before, no wonder everyone. Now Chai Xiuhe is dead. You don't have to wait for him. The original lieutenant was promoted to general, the brigade rate was promoted to captain, and the team was promoted to brigade rate. Officers under the brigade command shall be appointed and reported by the lieutenant himself. Lay the bridge in front of you, and whether you wait for death or alive, promotion will count. In addition, Chai will personally ask King Tang for credit for you. As long as the bridge in front of you is taken, each person will be awarded three turns, ten acres of merit field, and it will be cashed out immediately after the war, and he will never break his promise! ”

"General Xie!" At this time, even the cavalry who had been preparing to flee approached and shouted in unison. For ordinary soldiers, whether or not to award medals is secondary, and ten acres of honorable land is not tempting. That means that as long as the Li family is in power, they will have ten acres of land that they can pass on to their children and grandchildren and never pay taxes. The family will never have to worry about freezing or starving again.

"Don't thank me." Chai Shao waved his hand lightly, and his tone quickly turned low, "If you can't beat the bridge in front of you, you will all die on the bridge." Don't go back. Let's talk ugly ahead, step back one person, and I'll kill one person. More than half of the first team retreated, and our company was beheaded by deserters. More than half of the first brigade retreated, deserters, brigade rates, and teams were all killed. More than half of the regiment retreated, and the deserters were beheaded, including all the officers within the leading captain! Mingfa joined the army and stepped forward to write down the names of all the officers and the newly promoted positions! ”

"No!" Duan Zhida, who joined the army in the Ming Dynasty, led more than a dozen civilian staff members to run forward, took out a pen and paper to count the names of those wearing officer uniforms among the cavalry one by one. Seeing this, the cavalrymen knew that if they took a step back today, they would not escape death if they went further, so they simply went out, took out dry food, and called the still pink river water and began to eat. As for who is promoted faster today, and who has no ability and good luck, everyone doesn't care. Anyway, they are all over-the-top and wealthy, and no one may enjoy them.

After cleaning up the remnants of the group, Chai Shao turned his horse's head and ran to the riverbank. He wants to be good, what kind of immortal is the guy who crippled the elite under his command? Why did you pick up a cheap price but did not burn the wooden bridge, but wanted to block the footsteps of the 20,000 army with several temporary construction horses? The number of the other party is not large, and it is absolutely impossible to exceed 5,000, which he can see from the scale of the smoke and dust splashed by the opposing team when the two armies were racing across the river just now. With less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, he tried to resist the Li family's 20,000 army, and the people who led the troops were either outlaws or crazy!

Wu Tianxi is not an outlaw, nor is he a madman! He's just a little bolder than ordinary people, and he's just a little more experienced. There is indeed only one wooden bridge in front of you on the river, but there are more than a dozen crossings that can cross the river. The nearest one was only seven or eight miles away from the wooden bridge, and Chai Shao could find it with a little effort. Therefore, burning the wooden bridge can delay Li Jiajun for two hours at most. And keeping the wooden bridge unburned, you can attract all the attention of the other party to the wooden bridge, and you can't bother to find the ferry at all.

Therefore, Wu Tianxi would rather take advantage of the narrow terrain at the bridgehead and the inability to deploy his troops to spend a lot of money with the Li family's army. As long as it drags on for one night and half a day, he believes that Cheng Mingzhen will definitely rush over and use other methods to deal a blow to Li Jiajun!

Seeing that one of Li Jiajun's generals was leading by standing in the middle of the cavalry and pointing fingers, and then slowly beating his horse and walking towards the riverbank, Wu Tianxi judged that this person must be the fierce general in the cross, a famous man in Chang'an City, who lost his wife and ran away by himself. Laughing, he jumped off the command platform that had just been built, and dragged Mo Dao with one hand.

Across a bloody wooden bridge, both lords will stop at the same time. His gaze snapped in the air, and then he laughed and threw his hand at the same time.

"In Xia Chai Shao, dare to ask the name of the hero on the other side!" is worthy of being a child of a family, and in the midst of anger, his speech and demeanor are still polite.

Thinking about it, Wu Tianxi was much less graceful, put his hands on the knife bar, and shouted: "You are Chai Shao." I've heard of it. Grandpa Xing does not change his name, and he does not change his surname. Wu Tianxi, the leading lieutenant of the Yuzhou battalion, is also! ”

"Battalion of Zhaozhou?" Chai Shao frowned slightly, in his memory, he had never heard of such a team under Dou Jiande. It must be a gang of bandits under Dou Jiande's banner, and he can't bother too much. "Captain Wudu, right! What a strong man. Dou Jiande is already a fish in the dry water, why should you be martyred for him? ”

"What do you mean, I don't understand!" Wu Tianxi shook his head, pretending to be stupid with Chai Shao, "Whose family eats, who does it for whom." Since I have eaten the military rations of the Yuzhou battalion, I have to fight with you. It's a small place, and you can't put many soldiers. Come, come, come, let's just stop bringing troops and fight three hundred rounds on the bridge! ”

After that, he pressed the horse with one hand, and actually dragged dozens of catties of Mo knives and jumped onto the bridge. The guards around Chai Shao were worried that the main general would be assassinated, so they immediately drew their weapons and blocked the bridgehead on the south side. Wu Tianxi first pretended to run forward a few steps, then stopped his body and asked stupidly, "Why are there so many people?" Don't you have the courage to go it alone with me? Come, let's compare, I'll try to show mercy! ”

"Which one needs your mercy!" Chai Shao was a well-known long-eyebrow hero in Chang'an City, and he couldn't find an opponent in several streets near the palace. Hearing Wu Tianxi's words so arrogant, he divided the crowd and wanted to step forward and fight with the other party. Duan Zhida, who joined the army in Mingfa, followed behind him, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly shouted, "This is in front of the two armies, how can one person fight bravely." The rat surnamed Wu hurried back to wash his head. Grandpa, I'll take the soldiers to get it! ”

Startled by Duan Zhida's shouting, Chai Shao woke up suddenly. forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart, and pointed at Wu Tianxi's halberd with a horsewhip, "I'm not afraid of you, but I won't accompany you to fight bravely." Fight and wait until I capture you alive. At this moment, you and I should come out with some real skills! “

"Hehehe, my breath is so big, I'm not afraid to flash my tongue. It's not certain who will be captured alive. If you don't believe it, come here! Wu Tianxi pouted again and again, and his voice became higher and higher.

No matter how provocative he is, Chai Shao will not fight him alone. Wu Tianxi hurt the other party a few more words, estimating that Chai Shao's "cowardly" appearance had been clearly seen by the Li family sergeant on the other side, he slapped ** with a smile, and said loudly: "If you don't dare to come, forget it." Don't send your brothers to die for you. Everyone is a life, why don't you go up yourself, but let others rush forward with their heads in their hands. With that in mind, I went back. When you want to compete, send me a letter! ”

Anyway, he carried the Mo knife on his shoulder, jumped over the triple rejection horse one after another, and ran away happily. Chai Shao was so angry that he smoked, but he didn't dare to lose a big one because of a small one. Turning his horse's head, he shouted at the brothers behind him, "Are you ready?" Left and right, bring the war drums! ”

The cavalrymen, who had finished eating their dry rations, heard this and silently began to form a group. Several strong men carried a huge war drum, set it up high on the riverside, and then held the drumstick to Chai Shao. After receiving the drumstick from the guard, Chai Shao was ready to give the order to attack. Before his hand could be raised, Duan Zhida, who joined the army of Mingfa, approached him again and reminded in a low voice, "General, be careful of fraud on the other side!" ”

"Fraud? An outlaw only! What kind of wind and waves can be turned over? Chai Shao glanced at the other party and asked very unceremoniously. Having said that, he frowned and put the drumstick on the drum rack next to him. Wu Tianxi's behavior is indeed very strange, and it stands to reason that under the disparity between the outnumbered, he should burn the wooden bridge as soon as possible. Only in this way can the officers and soldiers be effectively stopped. But if he was deliberately deceitful, according to the battle examples in the ancient books, he should not have put three extra ways on the wooden bridge to resist the horse. Because if you don't let go of the horse, you can barely count it as a suspicious strategy. In the unlikely event of a suspicious opponent, you may mistakenly believe that there is an ambush on the north shore of the water. But now that the rejection of the horse has been put out, it is equivalent to clearly telling others that there are not many soldiers on the north bank of the water. I'm going to work hard and fight until the other party counts one by one!

Which teacher is this teaching tricks? Where did you learn this, the art of war? Chai Shao asked himself if he had read a lot of military books, had he never seen someone like Wu Tianxi, who only used half of the meter, but fell behind half of it? After hesitating for a long time, he bit his lip and whispered to Duan Zhida: "Whether there is an ambush or not, you have to try." You take the law enforcement team to supervise the battle, find the newly appointed general Dingyuan, and order him to send two hundred people across the bridge first! ”

"His name is Chen Liangcheng, and he is Chen Lao's distant nephew!" Duan Zhida reminded in a low voice, and then took the order and left.

"Hmm!" When Chai Shao heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a deep groan. Duan Zhida is the younger brother of the hussar general Duan Zhixuan, and the nephew of Duan Yanshi, who joined the army in Li Yuan's side. Hand and eye to the sky, all kinds of rumors and wild history, gossip is extremely well-informed. It is precisely because of him by his side that Chai Shao can be able to meet the left and right between his colleagues in the government and the opposition, and he can play it with ease. And the old Chen in Duan Zhida's mouth specifically refers to Chen Yanshou, the first strategist by Li Yuan's side. Thinking about how the Li family accumulated strength in Taiyuan, how to eradicate dissidents, and how to take advantage of the situation to raise troops were all planned by this old man. Although this old man has retired and does not take care of things much, his position in the Li family is still irreplaceable. Not only did ordinary civil and military generals see him, they should respectfully call Chen Gong, but even Jiancheng and Shimin saw him and performed the gift of their juniors.

Since Chai Shao is the core nephew of the Li family, of course he knows that this old man cannot be offended. sighed, and ordered the soldiers around him, "You go, find General Chen Liangcheng, order him to come to me, and explain something important!" ”

"No!" The soldier arched his hand and trotted to give the order. A moment later, Dingyuan General Chen Liangcheng hurriedly arrived and bowed to Chai Shao, "General Qiqi, the brothers are ready to wait for the general's order at any time!" ”

"You send 200 elites to make a tentative attack first. Don't learn from Chai Xiao and that stupid fool, and go to the front line! Chai Shao sighed and commanded in a low voice. Although I said a little harshly, I also understood that the fault of defeat was not on the hands of the brothers. It's not easy to train a cavalry, and you can't kill them no matter what. If you can't attack for a long time, you will ask Duan for a favor. I secretly informed him to grant your request, so that the brothers can borrow **! ”

"Thank you, General Xie!" Chen Liangcheng, who had already saved his mortal heart, didn't expect that at the last moment, Chai Shao would actually enlarge the gang, and he was so moved that he choked up with words.

Seeing his grateful look, Chai Shao sighed again, patted him on the shoulder, and told him in the tone of an elder: "But you have to grasp the scale yourself, and you can't let everyone have a fluke." Military law is particularly important in leading troops to fight. If you indulge too much in cowering, no one will fight with their lives! ”

"The end will be saved! The general is relieved though. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the last general will also persevere to the end! Chen Liangcheng bowed his hand and responded loudly.

"Go, I'm watching you!" Chai Shao waved his hand and ordered the other party to go down and command the battle. I grabbed the drumstick next to me and slowly lifted it.

Woo woo woo, the horn suddenly blows, low and long......
