Chapter 28: The Swallow Ride Without a Horse
Liang Qiu, the interim commander of the Zhenbei Army, was very uncomfortable now, and like His Royal Highness the Great Prince's plan, he went down the river to the vicinity of Anyi. After a fire robbery, a lot of armor, blades and bows were seized, and there was a "makeover" directly. In fact, it is also their negligence to take precautions, while they are only busy running for their lives, while picking up leaks on the side, of course it is easy.
After the robbery, everyone took what they might have taken, although these things were simply different from the overall loss of Anyi, but they could make the eight thousand Zhenbei army repair well.
Just thirty miles outside the city of Anyi, the Zhenbei Army was temporarily stationed there.
Inside the humble military tent, Liang Qiu was furious.
"Your Highness's ambition, don't you know?! Like this, hesitate, after thinking about it, when will the soldiers come to Handan?! ”
That's right, although these generals defending the city are all soldiers of a hundred battles, they are about to go deep alone, but none of them can lead the troops, and none of them can say one, two, or three.
Earlier, His Highness was in charge, but now as soon as it stabilized, the soldiers found that without His Highness, the entire army was like a headless fly.
"General, why don't we just kill all the way over!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, he was denied by another one: "You said lightly, and you killed it directly, do you know that since the water dragon broke down Anyi, not to mention whether they will find out that it was our Wei State that did it, just this Anyi is the granary of his Yan Kingdom, the main transportation route, and there must be more and more heavy soldiers sent here." If we go north in such a bright way, wouldn't it be a cover-up and a thief?! ”
When the other person heard this, he immediately sneered: "Joke, do you think this Beiyan armor we snatched is used for warmth?" We are so straight, who dares to stop me? ”
Although the plan was good, a general sitting in the corner said: "You can't say that, if you are asked, how should we answer, if one is not good, we will be ambushed on all sides, our life and death is a trivial matter, if it ruins His Highness's plan, I will be a sinner in the Wei State." ”
The straight man couldn't sit still when he heard it, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it okay for us to sit and eat here and wait for death?!" ”
The noisy military tent made Liang Qiu have two big heads, if he let his army defend the city, not to mention that with one enemy and two, that is, the enemy army is ten times larger than him, he can also issue a military order to protect the city from breaking for three months. But now it seems that the advantage is exhausted, let alone completing His Highness's plan, and he doesn't even know where to start.
However, Liang Qiu can be a general and lead an army, after all, he is familiar with military books, although he is not good at it, but he has never eaten pork and watched pig run.
Immediately stopped the noise of the crowd and ordered: "All the soldiers listen to the order, repair for two hours, and we will divide our troops to the north!" ”
In this way, the 8,000 Zhenbei army was divided into four routes of soldiers and horses, each with 2,000 people, and marched towards Handan together.
On the other hand, Gu Changsheng had three people and two horses, going around and around, and after this town, he was finally going to Handan. With Shi Ji's leading communication, the road is unimpeded, and it is also because the three of them have their own thoughts, and the stakes are very high, without any delay, they run directly to Handan, so the foot journey is also fast.
After lunch, the three of them left the town, and the next place to rest should be Handan.
Zhao Tuo was thinking about the Zhenbei Army, Gu Changsheng was thinking about Shi Ji's identity, and Shi Ji was thinking about ...
When night fell, although it was rainy for days and days, there was no light, but when night came, it was even darker.
The three of them were hurrying, and Zhao Tuo, who was riding the same horse with Gu Changsheng, suddenly said, "Stop!" Did you hear anything out of the ordinary? ”
Gu Changsheng listened carefully, and shouted in unison with Shi Ji: "Close to hand!" ”
The three of them looked at each other and immediately drove their horses away.
Zhao Tuo thought to himself, don't let anything happen to the Zhenbei Army!
The closer you get to the situation, the more strange it is, actually these two Northern Yan troops are fighting, one of them is actually infantry, Shi Ji and a horse took the lead and shouted: "This is definitely your Wei State's Zhenbei Army, the armor they wear is only unique to my Yan State cavalry, I have heard that your Zhenbei Army is a well-known soldier who defends the city, and is not good at horse warfare, so I definitely don't know the trick." ”
Zhao Tuo was shocked when he heard this, although he dealt with the Yan cavalry a lot, but these small details are often not found if he is not careful, and he is even more anxious in his heart, although the Zhenbei army in front of him is superior in numbers, but no matter how strong the infantry is facing the cavalry, without adequate preparation, at most it can only be guaranteed to be undefeated, but there is no possibility of victory.
Gu Changsheng felt Brother Zhao's anxiety, and kept whipping the horse, hoping to be one step earlier, with Shi and this character here, there should be no problem in negotiating.
Shi Ji originally wanted to make a deal with the eldest prince of Wei, and now it was a meeting gift for him, so Shi Ji naturally stepped forward to stop this conflict.
Shi Ji saw it clearly, although the cavalry of his Yan Kingdom was constantly harassing, he obviously didn't understand the way this infantry was coming, so it was just thunder and rain, so as long as he stepped forward to communicate, there was naturally no problem.
"Stop me! Stop! Shi and one man and one horse Gu Changsheng stepped to the battlefield, raising a token in his hand, although the cavalry could not see clearly, but they gradually left the battlefield and pulled to a safe distance.
"Who are you?!" The leading cavalry saw the stone and single-handed, and did not have any armor and weapons, and drove directly forward to ask.
"Who am I, you don't need to know, you see what I have in my hand?!" Shi Ji shouted as he held up the token.
The leader took a closer look, the token was fluorescent around the body, and it seemed to be carved with ancient beasts, although he didn't look closely, but this appearance was not the prince's Peiling!
Immediately, the leader dismounted and bowed, "The subordinates don't know that the prince has arrived, please surrender the prince!" ”
Other countries don't know, but in his Yan country, no one has dared to forge the prince's decree so far, once discovered, it is a capital crime of the nine clans. So this person just looked at a rough and did not investigate, they only had two hundred horses, gnawing and gnawing on the front of these mysterious whereabouts of the "horseless Yan Cai", he had already sent someone to report to the general, since the prince came here, when the general was in person, the matter naturally fell into the way, why should a little person like himself get in the way here.
Shi Ji nodded, seemingly satisfied with the centurion's attitude. Whoever leads an army of less than 100 men and more than 10 men is a captain, and whoever leads more than 1000 men is a centurion, and whoever commands an army is a general.
When Shi Ji was communicating with this cavalry centurion, Zhao Tuo and the others also rushed to the "Yan Cavalry without a horse", and sure enough, it was indeed the Zhenbei Army that was correct, and the leader of the troops was still the deputy marshal Liang Qiu.
When Liang Qiu saw that the person behind Gu Changsheng turned out to be the eldest prince who he had been looking for for a long time and had to give up, he was overjoyed, and just wanted to come up to worship, but was stopped by Zhao Tuo with his eyes.
So he directly changed his mouth and said: "General Zhao, just come back!" ”
Zhao Tuo replied: "General Liang, don't come unharmed. ”
Gu Changsheng dismounted and stretched out his hand to help Zhao Tuo get off the horse, Liang Qiu immediately came over and supported Zhao Tuo with Gu Changsheng, and when Zhao Tuo landed steadily, Liang Qiu retreated half of his body, and said what happened to Zhao Tuo in the past few days, and also told Zhao Tuo about his plan to divide the troops.
Zhao Tuo listened and considered the future plan, Gu Changsheng on the side looked at Liang Qiu, and Liang Qiu looked at Gu Changsheng at the same time.
One was thinking, how could this kid dare to go with His Highness.
One was thinking, this General Liang should not be a partial general who defended the city, although he overestimated Zhao Tuo's identity, but he never thought that he, Brother Zhao, was actually the eldest prince of Wei.
"No wonder he is a partial general defending the city, more than 1,000 people have no power to fight back against 100 horsemen." Gu Changsheng muttered softly.
