Text Section 286 Responding to Emergencies

On the eastern cliff of Mibo Mountain, Pang Gang Fancheng learned the news and also came to the first dangerous place. Jiang Zhuming didn't come, in this case, he had to sit down and pacify the officials and people on the cliff.

Pang Gang's vicissitudes of life looked extremely sad and indignant, and he pointed to the bottom and said angrily, "No matter how you say that Mo Kun is also a world-famous wise man, isn't he afraid of angering Heaven." Burn it, the old man wants to see how long their group of beasts can be arrogant. ”

"No, it's a trap, definitely a trap. Look~! Chen Zhanxuan said and stretched out his hand.

Standing on a high place, I saw the rolling dust raised by Zhou Long's 30,000 army from a distance. Even if he couldn't see the battle flag clearly, Chen Zhanxuan believed that it was definitely his own people.

"There is an ambush in the mountains and forests, you can't let them be fooled!" Fan Cheng also saw that something was wrong and shouted anxiously.

Chen Zhanxuan was anxious. The enemy longbowmen lay in ambush in the mountains and forests, and the cavalry rushed forward and became a live target. But the distance is so far that even if tens of thousands of people shout in unison, the other party can't hear it. What's more, it is impossible for him to organize tens of thousands of people to shout in unison.

Chen Zhanxuan stared closely at the rolling cavalry battle array, and when he saw the familiar battle armor, Chen Zhanxuan suddenly understood that it was the soldiers and horses of the capital city. No matter who led the team, he didn't want his brother to fall into an enemy ambush.

"Wolf smoke, did any of you bring wolf smoke?" Chen Zhanxuan hurriedly asked.

Chen Zhanxuan knew that in the sound of the hooves of tens of thousands of horses, whether it was a call or a horn, it was difficult for the other party to hear the sound of a clear warning. At present, the only way to do this is to light wolf smoke and use wartime smoke to inform the other side that there is an ambush here.

No one answered Chen Zhanxuan's question, and Chen Zhanxuan understood that this group of recruits did not have wolf smoke at all, and perhaps none of them knew what it meant to light wolf smoke. Just when Chen Zhanxuan was in a hurry, a guard said timidly.

"Lord Commander, if you want to light fireworks, you don't have to use wolf smoke. Ignite the hay and smotheren it with rotting leaves, and smoke will billowed immediately. ”

Chen Zhanxuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Quick, ignite two places from the first danger pass, and one fire from the second danger pass." It must be separated from each other, and the mountain wind is strong, as long as the other party can see that it is three smoke clouds. ”

After Chen Zhanxuan finished giving the order, the guards behind him hurriedly got busy. The mountain is full of dry grass and rotten leaves, and a few handfuls are enough.

Pang Gang shouted uneasily, "Be careful, don't set fire to the mountains and forests." After the smoke rises, ten people are guarded in one place to prevent the spread of open flames. ”

The guards on the mountain were busy, and at the foot of the mountain, the Xiyue general Baishi Qi and the Nanping general Bi Weide each led their troops and horses to wait. However, this time it was Zhao Pingdu who commanded the army in Nanping. Mo Kun was worried that Lu Mu's people would really ignite the mountains and forests desperately, so he specially sent Zhao Pingdu to suppress the formation.

Mo Kun knew that Lu Mu was still young, and he only sought utilitarianism and recklessly did things. Moreover, Xiyue is different from Nanping in China, and with Lu Mu's relationship with the lord of Xiyue, he has no pressure within Xiyue. Mo Kun is different, at least now the Peng Shanhua family will unite with the old family to suppress him. Once this kind of hurtful thing spreads to China, no matter how great his credit is, he will be sick. Therefore, Mo Kun must find a safe person to arrange this matter.

The combined forces of Nanping and West Vietnam were in full array, and in the mountains and forests, Zhao Pingdu and the three of them looked ahead, and they had already seen the figure of Zhou Long's army from a distance.

"Order, General Bi, you lead 10,000 longbowmen to detour to the right flank. General Bai, you lead 10,000 horses to detour to the left flank. After the enemy army enters the ambush circle, we will shoot the invading enemy in a fan shape from all sides, and the two of you must outflank and block the back road, and not let go of an enemy soldier. Zhao Pingdu said in a deep voice.

Bi Weide clenched his fists, "The last general will be ordered." ”

Bai Shiqi also hugged his fists, "Order!" ”

Zhao Pingdu looked indifferently at the rolling cavalry army, and the infantry soldiers in the open space in front of the mountain were just bait. The shield of the infantry soldiers can not only resist the impact of the cavalry, but also protect them from the arrows of their own people. Moreover, after two rounds of arrow rain, the opponent's war horse was lost. When the time comes, the might of the infantry will be revealed.

Zhou Long held the war knife in his right hand, and his left arm helped the arm shield to stare at the front tightly. Seeing that there was less than ten breaths to enter the sprint stage, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me.

"General, the mountain is warning us."

Zhou Long was too focused on the opponent's battle formation, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and saw that three thick clouds of smoke were billowing up under the east cliff. Seeing these three thick smokes, Zhou Long was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pulled his war horse.

"Stop moving forward~!"

The war horse neighed, rushed a dozen steps and raised its front hooves, and stopped abruptly. The person led by Zhou Long was worthy of being an experienced veteran of the capital city, and although there were some collisions in the back, they still stopped at a critical moment.

The billowing dust and smoke enveloped Zhou Long and the others, Zhou Long covered his nose and coughed a few times, and after the dust passed, Zhou Long gasped and looked ahead.

Four thousand cavalry guards came to Zhou Long, although they were anxious, they were not reckless. It's important to save people, but you can't put yourself in it all, because then it's not only useless, but also a big sin.

"General Long, how many soldiers and horses there are on the other side, the brothers on the mountain must see it better than us. It seems that this is a big meal specially prepared for us. Damn, we know it's bait, we can't sit idly by. Hu Zhanchao said.

"General, what should I do?" Huo Deyang asked.

Zhou Long raised his eyes and looked at the warning place of the East Cliff, "See, brothers on the mountain, I'd rather let them set fire to the mountain than let us suffer an ambush." Today, even if Lao Tzu disobeys the military order, he will have to fight against this group of mischievous. ”

"General Long, looking at the terrain, there should be a lot of archers in ambush in the mountains and forests. Rushing over like this, our people and Marco became live targets. Qian Chong said.

Zhou Long didn't speak, they were still two arrows away from the enemy's shield array, and one sprint could kill the opponent's eyes. But just rushing over like this, Zhou Long understood that the losses would be very heavy.

At the dangerous place of the East Cliff, Chen Zhanxuan saw that Zhou Long's army had stopped, gasped slightly, and immediately ordered.

"Quick, extinguish the fire, be careful to ignite the mountains and forests."

Pang Gang stared at the bottom of the mountain and asked, "Why haven't they withdrawn?" ”

Chen Zhanxuan glanced at Pang Gang and said helplessly, "The brothers of Lidu City will not give up their own people. Fortunately, let them know that there is an ambush, and they should be cautious. ”

When Pang Gang heard this, he immediately said anxiously, "No, the other party has already laid an ambush, and I can't let them die." Chen Zhanxuan, you have to find a way to inform the soldiers and horses under the mountain that they must be evacuated. Even if they can save this time, Mo Kun and Lu Mu will come a second time. If it goes on like this, don't say it's this army of soldiers and horses, even if Duan Lang comes, he will have to be fooled. As long as Lu Mu and Mo Kun are not afraid of thunder and thunder, let them burn it. The soldiers and horses of Lidu City are the only hope to save the entire Great Xia, and the hope of saving Great Xia cannot be lost here in order to save us. ”

When the surrounding guards heard Pang Gang's words, they all lowered their heads silently. They didn't want to die, but even if they could escape the mountain, they wouldn't be able to escape the enemy's pursuit. What's more, there are their own relatives on the top of the mountain, and these young guards must hold on.

Chen Zhanxuan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Herald, give me the horn." ”

The soldiers and horses under the mountain had stopped advancing, and Chen Zhanxuan knew that the sharp sound of the horn could be heard by the other party. He wanted to use the special horn command of the capital city to inform the other party to evacuate. As for whether it will be withdrawn, Chen Zhanxuan can't stop it.

A sharp and peculiar horn sounded, and Zhou Long and the others, who were observing, couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the faint order.

"General, are there people from our capital city on the mountain?" Zhan Yimo said.

Zhou Long glanced up, "It may be Uncle Seven, in response, this battle must be fought." ”

Zhou Long didn't expect that it would be an old acquaintance Chen Zhanxuan who was guarding the mountain, and thought that it was the seventh uncle who asked them to evacuate immediately. Thinking that Han Feng, Pang Gang and the others were all on the mountain, Zhou Long couldn't leave.

Just as the trumpets of both sides responded, Zhao Pingdu was a little impatient. Seeing that the other party was about to enter the ambush circle, he actually stopped at the edge of the ambush circle.

Zhao Pingdu's face turned cold, and he said to the soldiers around him, "Go, tell them that Lao Tzu has set up an ambush, and if there is no battle, Lao Tzu will set fire to the mountains and forests after thirty breaths." ”

The soldiers were stunned, "My lord, this~ Isn't this clear?" ”

"Nonsense, you think the other party is a fool. The military advisor said that they knew it was a plan, and they would drill into it. Lao Tzu wants to see if Duan Lang, who sent a message to the world to save the people and the fire and water, will give up the people of Molan City. Zhao Pingdu said cruelly.

"No!" The soldiers said yes and rushed out of the mountains and forests and ran forward.

In front of the two armies, the soldiers passed the word, and Zhou Wu asked, "Who is the main general, don't just be a turtle with a shrunken head, at least report your name." ”

"Hugh said wildly, my family Fu Shuai Zhao Pingdu is waiting for you, and if you have the ability, you will start a war." After the soldiers finished speaking, they hurriedly returned to the mountains and forests.

Huo Deyang and the others gritted their teeth angrily one by one, and Hu Zhanchao said, "General, I will lead people to rush over and kill them, and you will break off." ”

Zhou Long didn't speak, but his eyes looked at the rows of chariots not far from the west side of the infantry battle array. It can be said that the chariots of the two armies of the Western Vietnam Peace have been called over, and they are being circled together at the moment, and there are not many soldiers and horses guarding them. However, if you want to rush to the position of the chariot, you must pass through the ambush of the opponent.

Zhou Long measured the distance and said in a low voice, "Deyang, if you are ordered to lead five thousand men and horses, how many people are estimated to be left when you rush to the chariot position?" ”

After Zhou Long finished speaking, the eyes of the four thousand cavalry guards suddenly lit up. They were all old birds on the battlefield, and they immediately understood Zhou Long's intentions.

"General, it's only a dash away, but I'm afraid half of them will be able to rush to that position."

Hu Zhanchao also said, "Unless the other party hits the vital point at once, even if the war horse is hit by a few arrows, it still has the ability to rush forward." Our brothers are old birds on the battlefield, and they know how to protect themselves. ”

Zhou Long was a little unbearable, hesitated for a moment and said, "After this battle, I don't know how many brothers I will lose." Wait a while, we will be shocked by the suit, and before entering the ambush circle, the other party should not shoot with all his strength. Deyang, you lead your soldiers and horses to capture those chariots and use the opponent's chariots to storm the shield array. As long as the army is mixed together, the initiative will change hands. ”

"Order!" Huo Deyang replied simply and simply.

Zhou Long continued, "Hu Zhanchao, Qian Chong, the two of you lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to dress up and cover the Deyang soldiers and horses. But when you reach a stone's throw away, you have to stop. ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and Hu Zhanchao asked, "General, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Long continued, "When the time comes, Zhan Yimo and I will lead the remaining nearly 10,000 troops to fight in the opponent's battle formation in a situation of foot combat. The arm shield is used as a shield to form a shield array to rush forward to kill, first, it can reduce losses, and secondly, as long as the melee is together, the opponent's arrows will not dare to be placed indiscriminately. When it comes to individual combat ability, we, the old birds who have been trained in the desert, are not a problem with one enemy and five enemies. When the chariot is captured, we will fight into the forest. ”

"No, as the main general, after you have to press, Zhan Yimo and I will lead the troops to kill." Qian Chong said.

Zhou Long glared, "This is a military order, you must not disobey it!" ”

Hu Zhanchao and Qian Chong said this as soon as they saw it, and the two didn't dare to say anything. After several people finished deliberating, they immediately began to act. In the mountains and forests opposite, Zhao Pingdu and others were also waiting nervously. Although they didn't know how Zhou Long would fight, they should not withdraw their troops depending on the other party's situation. Just as the two sides were facing each other, Zhou Long's army began to act.

"Command, prepare for battle!" Zhao Pingdu hurriedly said.

Zhou Long's army shouted and rushed forward to kill the past, but just a stone's throw away, the soldiers and horses on both sides suddenly stopped, and the five thousand horsemen in the middle were hiding in the pedal and rushing forward at the fastest speed. Not only that, Zhao Pingdu was surprised to find that there were many people and horses who actually jumped off the war horse to protect themselves with arms and shields, and rushed to their own camp with each other's defense.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Bai Shiqi, who was ambushed on the left and right, gave orders at the same time as Bi Weide. However, the arrows of the guards were a little disordered, and they did not know whether to shoot the five thousand horses in front of them or the infantry soldiers who rushed behind them.

Zhao Pingdu was also stunned, the other party not only gave up the advantage of the cavalry as a whole, but also scattered the troops, and actually took the initiative to give up the war horse. But Zhou Long's main army was still an arrow away, and Zhao Pingdu could only endure and did not let the frontal archers shoot him. A longbowman is no ordinary crossbowman, and after a normal guard shoots twenty arrows, he has to rest for a while before he can pull the bowstring again. Zhao Pingdu felt that these centaurs should be dead soldiers who deliberately attracted longbowmen. When the longbowmen are exhausted, the follow-up soldiers and horses will rush over again.

Zhou Long and the others bowed to the cat's waist, and the guards assisted each other in the original black armor guard battle formation, and quickly rushed forward to kill. And the five thousand cavalry led by Huo Deyang rushed to the side of the shield array in a blink of an eye. Many war horses fell one after another, and these battle-hardened veterans rolled on the spot and rushed directly to the opponent's shield array.

Huo Deyang's war horse couldn't hold on, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Huo Deyang rolled twice with his arm shield, and the cat's waist continued to rush forward. The horsemen who followed him rushed desperately in the direction of the chariot.

When Zhao Pingdu saw it, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, "Hurry ~ shoot over there, you must not let them seize the chariot!" ”

A rain of arrows suddenly changed direction and shot in the direction of Huo Deyang's cavalry. One by one, the horses fell, and one of the guards was shot into a hedgehog. Even so, the cavalry charge advantage, there were still nearly a thousand horsemen rushing to the chariot. But each of these thousand horses was hit by at least three or five arrows.

The infantry soldiers guarding the chariot came up, and in the face of this group of the earliest elites of the capital, it was a one-sided slaughter. Moreover, as soon as the guards guarding the chariot entered the battle, the longbowmen lost their accuracy and did not dare to shoot at the people in the melee.

Huo Deyang's department attracted a large number of archers, and Zhou Long and others picked up a bargain. When his soldiers and horses rushed to the shield array, they lost more than a thousand men. The shield array of infantry soldiers is to deal with cavalry, and in the face of flexible infantry fighters, the overall shield array restricts their combat effectiveness. These old birds in the capital city, chopping up and down, the infantry camp of the West Vietnamese Ping Coalition Army, suddenly screamed continuously.

Many of Huo Deyang's guards had already climbed into the chariot, and they didn't have to wait for Huo Deyang's order to cut off the ropes of the horses one by one, and rushed to the enemy's shield array with the chariot.

Zhao Pingdu's eyes were about to split, the shield array was already a little scattered, unless he couldn't bear to shoot his own people together, he could only order to stop shooting arrows in the melee.

"Passed the order, ordered Bi Weide's department, and used an arrow array to block the enemy's follow-up soldiers and horses. The herald ordered Shiraishi to rise and lead his troops to meet the infantry battalion. Zhao Pingdu knew that Zhou Longchong didn't have many people after all, and he wanted to solve it first with superior forces.

Without waiting for Baishiqi's longbowmen to put away their bows and arrows and prepare for a fierce battle, Zhou Long took the initiative to rush into the mountains and forests with his men and horses. The shield array on the open ground was completely scattered by the chariots, and the coalition guards ran around screaming.

As soon as Zhou Long and the others entered the mountains and forests, they immediately reflected the advantages of training troops in the desert. When these old birds were training, they couldn't wait to sleep for one eye. Fierce battles in the jungle, the longbowmen of the coalition army are their opponents. What's more, these people shot at least a dozen arrows, and their arms were tired and sore.

Don't look at Zhou Long Huo Deyang disrupted Zhao Pingdu's battle plan with a small number of troops, and the initiative on the battlefield is still in Zhao Pingdu's hands. Just as Zhao Pingdu was dispatching troops, Zhou Long's reserve soldiers and horses also began to act.

Hu Zhanchao saw that the opponent's battle formation was in chaos, and his bow and arrows also stopped. Hu Zhanchao ignored Zhou Long's order and directly led his headquarters to rush over and kill him.

Hu Zhanchao shouted, "Old Qian, lead your subordinates to rush into the mountains and forests, and the shield array will be handed over to me." ”

"You disobey military orders, beware of the general beheading you."

Qian Chong shouted, and when he saw that Hu Zhanchao's people had rushed over, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, get off the horse." The last three teams of the nine groups in the headquarters stayed behind to look after the horses. For the rest, rush into the mountains and forests with me and kill him! ”

Qian Chong left about 200 people to take care of the war horses, and led the other personnel to kill them directly in the mountains and forests on both sides. The addition of Qian Chong and Hu Zhanchao immediately changed the entire situation, and the two sides completely fell into the overall melee.

Zhao Pingdu's chin was about to fall off, and it was the first time he had encountered such a style of play in his life. However, Zhao Pingdu could no longer control the situation, and the forests outside the mountains were all in harmony, and no one carried out any orders at all.

At the dangerous place on the mountain, Chen Zhanxuan and the others also looked at the melee under the mountain in surprise. Even Chen Zhanxuan didn't expect this situation to occur.

Chen Zhanxuan immediately stood up, "Order, the first danger is a thousand soldiers and horses, follow me down the mountain." Brothers, howl at me, go kill me! ”

After Chen Zhanxuan finished shouting, Pang Gang's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, notify everyone on the mountain, and all shout to kill." ”

After all, Pang Gang has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, and he knows that the combat effectiveness of these people is not good, but shouting loudly can at least scare the enemy soldiers in terms of momentum.

On the east cliff, Chen Zhanxuan led the guards to shout and rush down. The people on the top of the cliff shouted like a tsunami. Pang Gang asked everyone to shout only one word~ Kill!
