Chapter 189: The Battle of Huoyi (1)
Back in my own military tent, Zimin really hadn't fallen asleep yet, but she was lying on the couch and got up, sat at the table, and stared at the marching map that I had been looking at before I left.
When she saw me come in, she pointed to the marching map and smiled: "Big brother, what did my father say?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "There is a shortage of food in the army, and it is normal for my father to have worries. ”
Zi Min said: "Lack of food in the army? "Back in my own military tent, Zimin really hadn't fallen asleep, but she was lying on the couch but got up in her clothes, sat at the table, and stared at the marching map that I had been watching before I left.
When she saw me come in, she pointed to the marching map and smiled: "Big brother, what did my father say?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "There is a shortage of food in the army, and it is normal for my father to have worries. ”
Zi Min said: "Lack of food in the army? ”
I nodded, and from the very beginning of my contact with war, I had already realized that food and grass had a significant impact on the war situation. Although I said it in front of my father, I actually didn't know the bottom of my heart, I really had to lack food, and the 30,000 troops outside could only go home.
If that were the case, we would have been defeated without a fight.
Seeing that I was silent, Zimin asked again, "Is there a countermeasure?" ”
I said, "I don't know what my father is going to do, but there is one thing...... Well, my father wants to borrow the Qingyu Pavilion Order to use it. ”
Zimin took out the token from his waist and handed it to me, "Take it." ”
I looked at the Qingyu Pavilion Order, and felt as uncomfortable as if I had been crossed by something, and hesitated for a moment before taking it.
It's been a long time, this little token, I handed it over to Zimin for safekeeping. I gradually looked down on the things related to Ruo Xiu, I thought that I could already control myself after a few years, but I couldn't imagine that I would still be so sad when I saw things and thought about people.
Zimin sensed the change in my mood and looked at the march map silently.
I don't know what she's thinking, but I know what I'm thinking.
After a long time, Zi Min said: "Big brother, if we capture Huoyi, we can go straight to Guanzhong, whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, we can go straight in." ”
It began to rain outside the tent again, although it was autumn, the wet and heavy air was still very stuffy, I had an urge to take off the armor on my body, and glanced at Zimin standing next to her, but she was calm.
Two days later, despite the heavy rain, my father decided to send troops to attack Huoyi.
According to the information sent back from Huoyi, as early as half a month ago, Yang Yu had already laid a defensive line in Hedong.
The person responsible for guarding Huoyi is the eagle-toothed wolf general Song Laosheng.
When Dad heard that the person in charge of guarding the city was Song Laosheng, he actually touched his beard and laughed in the Chinese military tent, and these laughter diluted the dull atmosphere in the tent.
Under Huoyi City, my father had no arrows here, and more than 70 arrows in a row would hurt Wu'er completely.
After deciding to attack Huoyi, Daddy led his army to occupy Jiahu Fort and posed a threat to Huoyi in the northwest of Huoyi.
Song Laosheng is by no means an ordinary person, his contribution to quelling the rebellion is not small, and he has also been on the battlefield for a long time, seeing his father coming violently, he naturally did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle. But after all, he has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and if he holds the city, it will not be easy to capture Huoyi.
Just when my father was anxious, there was news delivered to the Chinese military account, and it turned out that the grain and grass escorted by Liu Wenjing had arrived.
It seemed impossible for everyone to catch up with the army so quickly, but Daddy didn't know how to do it.
This undoubtedly relieved the pressure of not being able to capture Huoyi.
Dad looked around at the Chinese military tent, thought for a while, and said: "Completed, the people of the world listen to the order, you two each lead fifty cavalry, go to the city to call, and provoke Song Laosheng out of the city." ”
Li Shimin and I took the order to go, and before we walked out of the Chinese military tent, Li Shimin snorted and said, "Is this useful?" Song Laosheng has led the army for many years, can this trick deceive him? ”
I glanced at him and said with a smile: "Song Laosheng is brave and unscrupulous, he is quick and active, and he will definitely fight, you can rest assured." ”
He didn't take my words to heart and followed me a little listlessly.
When he arrived in the east of the city, before Li Shimin could speak, Liu Hongji behind him began to scold Song Laosheng, and scolded all kinds of ugly words.
I'm listening to it, don't tell me to scold, I can't even listen to it.
Tang Lin also said behind me: "Turtle son......"
I listened for a long time, only understood these words, he went to Shuzhong, and actually learned a Shu dialect.
The hundred men we brought with us were dumb and hoarse, and there was no movement in the city.
Li Shimin came to me leisurely on a horse, and said very unhappily: "Big brother, it's useless to do this......
Before he finished speaking, there was movement on the castle tower in front of him.
"Whoosh" an arrow brushed Li Shimin's armor.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he made a few more "whoosh" sounds.
I glanced at Li Shimin and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”
As he spoke, he hit Marcy, and before he had run far, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the pursuers were approaching.
We ran to the ambush circle set up by my father, and Li Shimin's lieutenant Liu Hongji had already joined the army behind the enemy and led 2,000 soldiers and horses to cut off Song Laosheng's retreat.
There were a lot of dead and wounded among the fifty horsemen around me under the arrows, and it was estimated that it was about the same, so he turned to Tang Lin and said, "Capture the thief and capture the king." ”
Tang Lin agreed, and he and I turned around and rushed directly to the pursuers behind him.
We put the reins, bent our bows and arrows, and shot a row of Sui soldiers in front of us off our horses, and the men behind saw that we had begun to counterattack, and reined in their horses and slowed down.
I didn't have time to waste time with them, so I looked directly in the direction of Song Laosheng, who was wielding a machete in the military formation, and his body was covered with blood, and he had already killed red eyes.
His figure drew nearer, and I rode on my horse, not daring to mess around any more, for I fell off my horse in the middle of the formation, and was immediately trampled into a pulp.
There was a constant exchange of blows, and without warning a spear stabbed at me, and I reached out to take it, and with a strong lift, the man rolled over and fell off his horse.
I'm one step closer to Song Laosheng, as long as I see the right time, I can shoot him to death.
Just as I was thinking, suddenly an arrow flew diagonally behind me, and its strength went straight towards Song Laosheng, who was facing me with his back to me.
Without hearing any sound, the knife in Song Laosheng's hand suddenly froze and almost fell off the horse.
He fell on his horse, and with all his strength he drew the arrow.
As soon as my mind moved, the two armies fought, and the heart was the first. Turning his head, he said to Tang Lin, who was following him: "You follow me and shout-"
"Song Laosheng was captured by an arrow, and our army won!"
Tang Lin listened, looked at me for a moment, and then understood, gestured at me slightly, and then rushed into the battle formation, and also shouted in a loud voice.
