Chapter 131: Mutiny

Meng Qi was ordered by An Yi, and after blocking the first line of the Heavenly Canyon, he took the rest of the men and horses and rushed to the official road where Yelu Xiuke could "secretly cross", set up all the combustible things An Yi said in advance, and waited for instructions.

However, after he arrived at the official road of the main road, he did not start immediately, but hid in the forests on both sides.

Because Meng Qi walked from the first line of heaven to the south of the official road, the road was flat and fast, and Tuoba Yin, who was blocked by him in the first line of the sky, took the Liao soldiers to the north, and the road was a little rugged.

So he planned to let Tuoba Yin go over, and only then began to act according to orders.

"Mr. General, why do you send us this inconsequential job every time the garrison grown? When will we be able to fight with the Liao people like everyone else! ”

The soldiers beside Meng Qi, with withered grass on their heads, lay on the edge of the mountain col and complained to him in a whispered voice,

"You know!"

In this season of withering things, I don't know where Meng Qi found a withered half-yellow banana leaf to cover his body, and replied in a low voice angrily: "Last time, if I hadn't flooded the Seventh Army for the Liao people upstream, the Liao people would have crossed the river a long time ago, and they wouldn't have been able to meet the Wugu Sect, maybe they would have directly confronted our people, and even Brother Yi himself said it, if this is the case, I am afraid that the result of the battle of Qingchuan River will be difficult to say." ”

"So, or have we turned the tide of the war?"

Meng Qi raised his eyebrows at him, and said proudly: "It's impossible to turn the tide of the battle, but if anyone says that we are doing inconsequential work, they have to touch their consciences, if it weren't for us, many of them would have to stay by the Qingchuan River." ”

"Yes, I heard the general say that our small team still saved the lives of many brothers!"

The soldiers listened to what Meng Qi said, and they all felt on their faces that there was a little more brilliance on their faces that could allow him to go back and show off his might.

"Put the total!"

A sergeant shouted and ran towards Meng Qi in a panic,

As soon as he ran to his face, he was pressed by Meng Qi on the grass next to him, and scolded him angrily: "I said that you can be a little quieter, we are just a hundred or ten people, if the Liao people find out, we will still work like this!" ”

The sergeant gasped twice, and then hurriedly pointed into the distance and said, "General, the Liao people are fighting with a group of men and horses of unknown origin outside the valley!" ”

"Fighting? What part of the centaurs? ”

Meng Qi asked confusedly,

According to Anyi's previous deployment arrangement, all the Xia troops withdrew from the first line of heaven, including Zeng Ziren, who also returned to the direction of Chengdu to defend, except for the green battalions in Long'an and Chengdu near here, there should be no Xia army, right?

The sergeant shook his head at him and replied, "There are no banners, and I can't tell who the generals are, but there are about 3,000 people coming, all cavalrymen, and all of them are covered with armor on their horses, and they look very fierce." ”

"You guys stay here, I'll take a look! Walk! ”

Meng Qi felt that it was impossible to rely on the sergeant's description alone, so it was better to come up and take a look.

So saying, he followed the sergeant and touched the back along the dense forest on both sides of the official road.

This small open space on the north side of the official road was stirred up by these two groups of men and horses for a while, and there were pure cavalry troops on both sides, and the back and forth hedging of the needle tip against the wheat mang really gave people a visual feast that shocked every nerve ending!

Meng Qi was lying on the high slope, looking at this well-equipped cavalry, and his heart was also full of doubts,

Could it be that the King of Shu heard that Chengdu was lost, and returned with the army of the guard?

However, this only reasonable explanation was quickly overturned by himself, the war in Lanzhou was tight, and the King of Shu was afraid that even if he wanted to, he would not be able to pass through the heavy Liao army defense line in front of Lintao Mansion to aid Sichuan, otherwise Brother Yi would not be able to rack his brains for this Liao cavalry of more than 10,000 people.

"Where did this person come from?"

Of course

Because Meng Qi did not participate in the first slaughter of the Wugu Sect, he couldn't recognize the three thousand heavy cavalry under Wu Yi!

Tuoba Yin with the Liao soldiers under his hand, was blocked by a line of sky, and he was anxious to rush to Chengdu, who knew that it was really a blessing and a disaster, and finally went around a big circle to return to the entrance of the official road, and he was against the heavy cavalry who caught up.

The Liao people, who are good at cavalry and archery, have never taken the cavalry of the Han people in their eyes, although you have been armed to the teeth, you are still a salted fish on the chopping board of his Tuoba Yin,

The Liao people soon discovered the shortcomings of the heavy cavalry of the Wugu Sect, although the armor was thick, but they were slow, and they hung the scimitars in their hands in front of their horses and removed the longbows on their backs.

Because the color of the Wugu Sect's plate armor is relatively dark, so it can be seen more clearly from Meng Qi's point of view, these two gray and white staggered, stirred up a ball of men and horses gradually dispersed, the Liao people took advantage of the advantage of fast horses and gradually distanced themselves from the heavy cavalry of the Wugu Sect, wrapped the heavy cavalry in the form of a vast ring array, and carried out precise strikes through bows and arrows.

Although the heavy cavalry is also equipped with bows and crossbows, compared with the longbows of the Liao people, it is still a lot worse in terms of range, so the Liao people always maintain a distance from the heavy cavalry on the battlefield.

And whenever the heavy cavalry plans to surprise the Liao people on the spot, the cavalry of the Liao people is like a slippery loach, which quickly scatters without command.

When the heavy cavalry pounced into the air, and then tried to turn their horses' heads and reorganize the charge, the rain of arrows had already fallen.

Tuoba Yin's flexible tactics that have been used make Wu Yi feel that he can't beat anyone with this pair of iron fists, so he can only keep attrition under the ubiquitous arrows of the Liao people.

soon

Wu Yi, who was extremely unsuitable for the tactics of the Liao, felt that it would be difficult for the heavy cavalry to gain anything if he continued to fight, so he ordered the horn to be withdrawn.

"Woo~~~~"

With the sound of a long trumpet, the Wugu Sect quickly broke away from the battlefield and headed north.......

"Hall Master, the count has been completed, and more than seventy brothers died in the confrontation just now."

A heavy cavalry Pegasus felt Wu Yi's front of him.

Wu Yi nodded expressionlessly, looked at the Liao soldiers who were also gradually withdrawing from the battlefield, and said to himself: "The Liao people are amazing!" ”

His eyes suddenly glanced sharply, and he looked at several heavy cavalry beside him, "If you go back and ask Ning Fashen, do you know what to say?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, bowed their heads in unison, and replied, "My subordinates understand!" Don't worry! I've never seen a Liao person in the past few days! ”

"Hmm!"

Wu Yi nodded with satisfaction, pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and retreated north with the heavy cavalry.

Tuoba Yin was not thinking about this group of people and horses of unknown origin, and when he saw them retreating, he naturally did not pursue, but turned over the horse's head and ran away on the official road, in order to rush to the city of Chengdu as soon as possible to join Yelu Xiuke.

From beginning to end, this confrontation was seen by Meng Qi on the high slope, he guessed that this Liao soldier was the same as him, he was also confused, and he was afraid that he didn't know who he was fighting with after fighting for a long time, so he calculated it in his heart and prepared to review the importance of their team again for his own soldiers.

"You go and take a few people to the other side of the sky, see if there are any big flags or gongs and drums in the place where we camped before, and find me some. If we don't have one in our original camp, let's go to Taniguchi's position. ”

Meng Qi commanded to the sergeant beside him,

"What? Are we going to stop this wave of Liao? ”

After listening to Meng Qi's instructions, the sergeant asked excitedly,

Meng Qi gave him an angry look, what to stop? Take your own more than 100 people to stop thousands of Liao soldiers from others? Was the fight just now all in vain?

He especially advised: "No one is allowed to act without my order, let this wave of people pass!" Just do what I say. ”

"Yes!"

The sergeant nodded, asked no more questions, and took the order.

------------------------------

Night

It is seventy miles away from Chengdu

An Yi and Zeng Ziren's men and horses rushed to Chengdu from the first line of heaven to Chengdu one after the other, so the difference is not far, An Yi is probably still thirty or forty miles away from Chengdu now, Zeng Ziren slowed him down and followed behind.

The garrison generals of Long'an Mansion and these generals also followed Zeng Ziren for a day, and Chengdu was lost and the incident was urgent, so it didn't stop all the way.

When the curtain fell on the inky starry sky and hung the moonlight, the front team suddenly slowed down.

They originally thought that it was night, and they were close to Chengdu, so it was inevitable that they would march cautiously, which was understandable.

Who knew that soon Zeng Ziren sent them a military order that was difficult for them to understand:

Set up camp on the spot!

This is very confusing for a few of them!

Yelu Xiuke took tens of thousands of cavalry like tigers and wolves to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and deceived the main force of the Xia army of the two provinces to attack Chengdu, and now it should be difficult to have a soldier in the city of Chengdu, it is completely in danger, even if they are rushing to help in the starry night, I am afraid it will be too late, how can they camp and rest now?

However, they were not comfortable, but they did not have the courage to openly disobey orders, so they recommended the garrison general Zhao Shuang to go to the commander Zeng to ask what was going on.

When this straightforward man with a national character face broke into Zeng Ziren's Chinese army tent, Zeng Da Commander had just ordered the sergeant to bring a basin of hot water, and was about to soak his feet comfortably.

Zeng Ziren asked with some displeasure on his face: "General Zhao, what is the matter with coming to Ben Shuai?" ”

Zhao Shuang didn't have so many twists and turns, and said bluntly: "My lord, I and the general manager agreed that we should march day and night and support Chengdu quickly. ”

He was in a hurry, so his tone sounded anxious.

This annoyed Zeng Ziren, and said that you all learned from whom, and everyone dared to start pointing fingers at me, he said angrily: "I have my own opinions, General Zhao does things according to orders, why ask more!" ”

"My lord! Many Xia troops on the Northwest Front are the children of Sichuan and Shu, and once Chengdu is lost, it will be a great blow to their morale, and the battle situation on the front line will be unfavorable! Once the court blames it, you and I can't afford it! ”

Zeng Ziren knew what Zhao Shuang said, and he didn't plan to say that he wouldn't save Chengdu, but in the battle of Qingchuan River, he was still a little afraid of the Liao soldiers under Yelu Xiuke, so he wanted to keep a little distance from An Yi, let An Yi take the Chengdu Green Battalion to take the lead, and then he followed the hole he tore into the city.

However, this kind of small abacus could not be explained to his subordinates, so he could only order the camp on the grounds of temporary rest.

"You are presumptuous! I'm the commander of all! Do whatever I say, and cast him out of me!" ”

Of course, Zeng Ziren's anger did not come from whether to stop or go, but from this Zhao Shuang's collision with him, which reminded him of Anyi's appearance of not taking him seriously at all.

Can't cure comfort? I can't cure you?

So the commander Zeng shook his official authority and asked the guards on the left and right to fork Zhao Shuang out...........

When the generals saw General Zhao coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask him about the result, but Zhao Shuang only cared about his calm face and sat on the chair without saying a word.

"General Zhao, you are talking, whether the commander agrees or not!"

"Yes, General Zhao, if you agree, we have to prepare earlier."

"Humph!"

Zhao snorted with a heavy snort, and said dissatisfiedly: "Agree to a fart!" This surnamed Zeng gave us a blind command in the Qingchuan River, buried the cavalry battalion, and killed Shang Zong! Then on the first line of the day, I left Mr. Fu behind! This time, he didn't even listen to me, and kicked me out, and I don't think he took us seriously at all! ”

"General Zhao is right, I heard that this surnamed Zeng was originally the missing son of the top old commander, but in fact, he has no ability!"

One of the chief receivers,

"I also heard that the first line of heaven was originally planned to be directly blocked by Lord Garrison An of Chengdu Mansion, and it was this Zeng Ziren who listened to the rumors of that old man Xu and let the Liao people sneak over!"

The other always followed,

"I think he's scared at all, and he wants Chengdu Green Camp to take the lead!"

Everyone is gossiping, you pour out all the things in your stomach that you don't hide from Zeng Ziren,

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang's face became more and more ugly, and in the end, he couldn't bear it anymore,

"Boom!"

His big rough hand slammed down on the table!

"Lao Tzu can't let this surnamed Zeng kill us all! You listen to me, don't set up camp, take your soldiers and horses to follow the An people of the Chengdu Green Camp and continue to support Chengdu, this surname Zeng I will deal with! In the future, the blame will come down, and I, Zhao Shuang, will bear it alone! ”

"General Zhao means .........."

"Soldier!"
