Chapter 205: Fierce Battle in the Night
When the big team went farther and farther, Guo Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Looking at the 700 parts that had been following him since a year ago, fighting in the south and the north, his heart swelled with infinite pride. These people are his most trusted soldiers, and they are also his closest comrades-in-arms, and I don't know how many people will be able to come back safely in a battle tonight.
Yes, Guo Bin never thought of escaping, so he took great pains to lead a large army to sneak out of the camp in order to allow the accompanying people, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and other civil officials to leave calmly. However, he had to stop the union of the Huns and the Qiang, not only for the sake of high-ranking officials, nor just for the prestige of Shilin or the trust of the Son of Heaven, so he wanted to fight, but for the interests of the interest groups in Yingchuan County.
Because once the Xiongnu united with the Qiang people to rebel, the annexation of the state would definitely bear the brunt, and the annexation of the state would be chaotic, and the Jingshi would be frightened. As a result, Yingchuan County's various industries in Beijing are bound to be greatly affected. Moreover, the annexation of the state is an important trade route between the three cities outside the Saiwai and Luoyang, once cut off by the Huns, if you want to transport materials from outside the Saiwai to the Jingshi, you must make a detour to Jizhou, and the increase in the cost can go to the sea.
The interest group with Guo Bin as the core has just been on the right track, although its ability to attract money is admired by everyone today, but after all, the time is too short. Therefore, the extremely urgent hope of this interest group is to maintain the situation of basic peace today, so that the strength of Yangzhai County and even Yingchuan County can snowball, so that it can establish a foothold in the Central Plains region in the future period of competition between the heroes.
Therefore, no one in the world is more eager to hope for world peace than Guo Bin, and until now, he has deeply felt the fundamental reason why China in the previous life always and everywhere held the strategy of peaceful development, and everyone he saw had to promote the peaceful rise and strive to maintain world peace. Just like the Chinese government in his previous life, Guo Bin has become an important force in efforts to maintain stability in the world. Now Guo Bin must follow the strategic development path that the Chinese government has been pursuing in his previous life.
In addition, the Xiongnu were good at raising horses, and if they could cooperate deeply and effectively, this would be the closest distribution center for horses trafficked to the Central Plains. The importance of war horses in the era of cold weapons goes without saying, and having a nearby war horse supplier as a partner is undoubtedly everyone's dream in the war period.
Therefore, whether it is from the position of the Han court or from the position of the Yingchuan interest group, Guo Bin has a reason and responsibility to prevent the union of the Xiongnu and the Qiang. Even if they can't partner with the Huns, at least they must be forced not to help each other.
Guo Bin's plan is very simple, the so-called "if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger".
Secretly sneaking out of the supervised camp is the first step, and the second step is to enter the tiger's den and dig up the tiger cubs.
The seven hundred cavalry are all veterans who have been in battle for a long time, and the war horses they ride are also the best war horses in the entire Yangzhai County, and they all know what to do when they raid the enemy army in the middle of the night. Led by Guo Bin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu followed, and Dong Xing'er followed behind the four, and more than 700 rode around the grassland in a small circle, and arrived at the south gate of Shan Yu's royal court.
At this time, the sky was on the eve of dawn, it was the darkest time of the day, and it was also the time when people were most sleepy.
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the Qiang camp and the Xiongnu department, Guo Bin secretly calmed down in his heart, and immediately stretched out his hand to press down, causing the army to stop for a while. whispered a few words in Guan Yu's ear, and Guan Yu took dozens of people to touch it. These people are the elite of the special soldiers who have been carefully trained by Guan Yu with Guo Bin's training methods, and they are also Guo Bin's personal guards. Most of them are old fritters who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and what they are best at is jumping high and low, hiding their figures, this kind of little thing of stealing chickens and dogs, it is simply easy and pleasant.
After quietly dissolving a few lazy open and dark whistles, several unique goshawk chirps came into Guo Bin's ears, which is a long-distance communication method that special soldiers are very familiar with. Seeing that everything was going well, Guo Bin waved his Xuanlong spear, and the seven hundred iron horsemen rushed towards the camp of the Qiang envoy like a roaring tank.
That's right, Guo Bin's target is not Qiangqu's father and son, but the Qiang envoy who came to contact him this time.
The sound of horses' hooves woke the Qiang messenger from his sleep, and he put on his white robe and lifted the curtain of the tent to see what was going on. But before he could see the specific situation outside, he saw a man with thin eyes and long hair, a tall figure, wearing plate armor, and holding a big sword, as if he had fallen from the sky. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, when he saw the majestic lying silkworms on the face of the red-faced man, he saw that a heavy knife had been pressed on his left shoulder. Then the world swirled, and when everything was settled, only a corpse that had been lost from the left shoulder to the upper part of the right chest was slowly resting on the ground. The fine white robe that the corpse wore on it symbolized status and status was so familiar.
Guan Yu had already received Guo Bin's instructions, and after leading people to solve all the sentinels, he broke a gap dozens of meters long in the south gate of the simple Xiongnu royal court, and brought four or five soldiers straight to the big tent of the Qiang envoy. The rest, naturally, were carriers of fire oil, spilling everywhere.
After beheading the Qiang envoy, Guan Yu took out the ring-headed knife hanging from his waist, cut off his head, wrapped it in the black cloth he carried with him, and tied it around his waist. Before he could straighten up, he heard a loud shout behind him, and then a sharp sound of breaking the air came from the back of his head. Guan Yu has always been cautious and steady, so he is most valued by Guo Bin, and often entrusts him with the responsibility of leading the troops.
At this time, hearing the fierce wind behind his head, Guan Yu didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly pounced forward to dodge a shot from the enemy behind him. However, the heavy Qinglong Glaive also fell to the ground, and it was too late to pick it up. When I looked up again, I could vaguely distinguish from the firelight that the person who came was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a white face and a heroic appearance, and a horse lance, although he was in the Qiang mission, it was clearly a Han man in his dress. Looking at the special soldiers who followed him, they were already entangled by the young man's men, and I was afraid that they would not be able to step forward to support in a short time.
Because of the loss of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Guan Yu had to deal with him with the Ring Head Knife in his hand. But where did he think that although this young man is young, the strength of the horse lance is very great, although it is far from Guo Bin, but the horse lance is a big and heavy weapon, at this time, against Guan Yu, who is holding a light and short ring head knife, but he really took a big advantage in the blade.
Rao is Guan Yu's martial arts are exquisite, his divine power is amazing, and the ring head knife in his hand is an all-steel blade specially created by Guo Bin, but he was still shocked into a cold sweat.
I saw that the young man's strength was heavy, and his spear was extremely fast, and the tiger roared again and again, grasping the weakness of Guan Yu's inadequate blade and attacking with a move. Fortunately, Guan Yu has been in the rivers and lakes for many years and has extremely rich combat experience, so he can barely maintain himself in such an unfavorable situation.
After nearly a hundred rounds of fighting, the roaring sound of horses' hooves broke through the pre-dawn silence and mercilessly crushed the Qiang people who were still resisting. There were more than 500 people escorting the Qiang envoys this time, and although they were also the elite of the Qiang people, they were not as good as the saddle of horses, and the people were not as good as the first. In a hurry, where can you fight the fully armed, well-equipped Fulong Villa troops that far surpass the Han official army? In less than half an hour, most of the Qiang troops accompanying them had already suffered casualties, and many of them were killed in the battle, and many of them were trampled through their chests and abdomen by war horses in their sleep.
In the king's tent, Qiangqu Shan Yu, who had just finished arranging the knife and axe hand, was about to go to bed, but he heard the neighing of horses from people outside the tent. In the midst of the surprise, he came out of the big tent and realized that the sound of the fighting came from the camp where the Qiang envoy from the south gate was located. The sky-high firelight reflected the clouds on the horizon, and the sound of crackling wood being burned could be heard very clearly from so far away.
He hurriedly called the guards around him to investigate, but before the guards had set out, he saw a sentry rushing over on a fast horse. When he arrived at the tent, the man rolled his saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Qi Yu Dahan, the Qiang camp was attacked by unknown cavalry, and there were heavy casualties, and the two sides are still fighting!" ”
Qiang Qushan was shocked, walked a few steps, pulled the sentry by the collar, lifted it up, and said angrily: "What about the Qiang envoy? ”
The sentry turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Small, the villain doesn't know." ”
Hu Chuquan, who came out of the tent on one side, obviously also heard the conversation between the two, and said busily: "Father Khan, no matter who it is, for the sake of today's plan, it is still necessary to set up people and horses and go to the rescue!" Although Hu Chuquan does not approve of uniting the Qiang people to rebel against the Han court, since Qiang Qu Shan Yu has made a decision, of course he must fully support his son.
Here, Guan Yu and the young man fought for nearly a hundred rounds, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "I have learned Huagong's five bird operas, and my martial arts have entered the realm extremely fast. At present, he only fights the enemy with the ring head knife in his hand, and there are few people on the rivers and lakes who can resist. Who is this teenager? At such a young age, he can practice such kung fu! ”
The young man was even more suspicious, he grew up in Liangzhou since he was a child, and he had never met an opponent with a horse lance. Don't say that you have taken such a big advantage in the blade, even if you are at ease with more than a dozen good hands in the army, but where did you expect to meet such a heroic figure in the court of the Huns?
was thinking about it, but saw Guan Yu throw the ring head knife at him. In a panic, he subconsciously dodged and dodged, but saw Guan Yu's right leg stepping forward, just stepping on the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife underground. He hurriedly stretched out the horse lance and stabbed Guan Yu in the chest, only to see Guan Yu's right foot rubbed, and the handle of the knife had already jumped on the instep, and then the instep of the foot was picked, and the right hand was fished, and it was a knife.
This knife was extremely ingenious, not only did the handle block the stabbing horse lance, but the head of the knife went around the body, borrowing the power of the horse lance to slash at the young man.
The young man only felt a tremendous force open his horse, and the heavy knife head that was still bloody was already rushing towards him. He hurriedly waved the horse lance to block, only to hear a pop, and the horse lance made of high-grade Zhemu had been broken in two. At that moment, where did he dare to fight, he hurriedly left Guan Yu, whistled, and took more than a dozen surviving subordinates to grab horses and leave in the wilderness.
Seeing this, Guan Yu remembered Guo Bin's instructions, so he did not stop him, and watched the young man ride his horse to the west.
Author's note: You may have guessed who this teenager is? It is estimated that 9 out of 10 people will guess wrong.
When the big team went farther and farther, Guo Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Looking at the 700 parts that had been following him since a year ago, fighting in the south and the north, his heart swelled with infinite pride.
