Text Section 380 Stormy Turmoil
Zhang Ruming, who was on the ballista, saw that the enemy's arrow array was smashed by the pile crossbow, and Le's teeth were about to break. However, when Zhang Ruming heard Lu Mu's crazy shout, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Lu Mu? It's actually Lu Mu, paralyzed, that kid is Lu Mu. Come on, adjust the position, and aim at Lu Muna's kid, Lao Tzu has to kill him. Zhang Ruming shouted loudly.
When the herald beside Zhang Ruming heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, "Master Tianshi, you must not, at this time, Duan Shuai has already rushed into the enemy camp, if you hurt Duan Shuai, it will be too late to regret it." ”
Zhang Ruming was stunned, and immediately scolded angrily, "Why do you say that Duan Lang, this bastard, came out so quickly, he is paralyzed, Lao Tzu is not enjoying it yet." What to do, what do you say now? ”
Zhang Ruming rubbed his hands anxiously, the power of the crossbow is great, but this thing is not distinguishable from the enemy and the accuracy is still poor. Just as the herald said, if he hurt Duan Lang, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.
In the canyon, as soon as Mingyue heard Lu Mu's shout, her heart suddenly rose to her throat. But the many guards around him were rushing out of the valley mouth, and Tai Mingyue couldn't see Duan Lang's figure at all.
Yutai Mingyue was anxious in her heart, and hurriedly ordered, "Xiangtian, quickly go and join Gu Fan and the others to protect Duan Shuai." Your eighteen slashing sword formations complement each other and are extremely powerful, and if one of them is missing, there will be loopholes. Don't worry about me, with my own soldiers here, it'll be fine. ”
"Master Strategist, this~ This is Duan Shuai's order." Xiang Tian was anxious, but he didn't dare to disobey the military order.
"Then the military division will give you another order, go to battle quickly, and you must not disobey the order. All the consequences, this army division will bear it for you. Yutai Mingyue said solemnly.
Xiang Tian was stunned for a moment, and clenched his fists, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Xiang Tian hit the horse and rushed out, shouting as he ran, "Eighteen guards listen to the order and follow me to protect Duan Shuai." ”
At this time, Duan Lang was blocked by the shield array, and because he was riding on a horse and rushing to the front, the target was very conspicuous. Seeing that many people in the enemy formation aimed their bows and arrows at him, Duan Lang simply jumped off the war horse with a cat's waist, and the war halberd in his hand smashed against the shield array in front of him. Taking advantage of the gap in the shield array, Duan Lang suddenly crashed into the enemy's shield array.
Duan Lang knew that his target was too big on his horse, and he was also easily shot by the opponent's archers. But blending into the enemy's shield array, the crossbowmen could only watch. The halberd in Duan Lang's hand danced like a wheel, and he struggled to approach in the direction of Lu Mu.
Since Lu Mu gave the order, Gu Fan, Liu Xi and the others began to rush to Duan Lang's side. Seeing Duan Lang enter the enemy formation, Gu Fan and the others didn't say a word, and one by one they abandoned their horses and swords and swept them to the feet of the shield hand, taking advantage of the gap that appeared, and they also killed them.
The shield array has the tactics of the shield array, don't look at Duan Lang and the others breaking in, but the shield players of Xiyue didn't dare to take care of the behind, they could only desperately block the soldiers and horses that kept rushing over. And the sword and axe hands in the shield array launched a siege against Duan Lang and the others.
Xiang Tian was the last of the eighteen slashes in the calendar to rush into the shield array, unlike others who abandoned their horses, Xiang Tian directly pulled the reins of the horse and jumped into the shield array. However, the war horse under the crotch was slaughtered by the enemy, rolled to the sky, and escaped the killing and came to Jin Rushi's back.
"Duan Shuai, I'll wait here, brothers, cloth knife formation."
With a shout to the sky, Gu Fan and the others quickly approached to face the outer city. Over the years, their sword formations have cooperated more tacitly with each other, and layers of sword light slashed outward, suddenly killing a blank.
At this time, Duan Lang was also leaning against the sword array, and the halberd in his hand flew up and down, constantly approaching in the direction of Lu Mushuai's car. As more and more soldiers and horses rushed out of the valley, Lu Mu's shield array finally collapsed.
Lu Mu stood on top of the handsome car in horror, glanced back and forth, left and right, and immediately found that his army was on the verge of being defeated. In particular, the 5,000 soldiers and horses who went to destroy the ballista had already been killed by others in the face of Chen Qi's 7,000 troops. And Fang Guchao's camp also did not have a complete formation under the crazy ravages of the Zhou family brothers.
Lu Mu's face became ugly, he knew that it would be dangerous to wait any longer. Compared with the time of Molan City, Lu Mu found that these soldiers and horses led by Duan Lang were even stronger. Moreover, at this time, the strength of the two sides was almost the same, as long as the soldiers and horses in the valley rushed out, Lu Mu understood that they must not be Duan Lang's opponents. Taking advantage of the fact that all the troops in the valley did not rush out, Lu Mu had to make a decision.
"Order, after the left cavalry camp is broken, retreat to the direction of the Longmu camp."
Lu Mu didn't dare to delay any longer, he knew the madness and courage of Duan Lang and the others. Now that Duan Lang's army was not fully deployed, Lu Mu immediately gave the order to evacuate.
Fang Guchao, who was in the fierce battle, heard the order, and immediately ordered a thousand generals to lead five thousand men and horses, desperately blocking the Zhou brothers, while Fang Guchao quickly evacuated with other soldiers and horses.
The war is very brutal, but it is not easy to evacuate at any time in the heat of battle. Lu Mu's evacuation horn was as soon as the entire West Vietnamese army panicked. However, Lu Mu, under the protection of the pro-military camp, took the lead in rushing out.
Duan Lang's hateful teeth clenched, and he shouted loudly, "Gu Fan to the sky, seize the enemy's war horse, and follow me to chase and kill Lu Mu." ”
When Duan Lang and the others seized the war horse to chase and kill, Lu Mu had already run out of the land of three arrows. Even if he was in a handsome car, if he had to chase down at this distance, Duan Lang knew that it would be difficult to catch up with Lu Mu. After all, the canyon is not very long, and when they caught up, Lu Mu also entered the battle formation of the Dragon Mu of the Moro Kingdom.
Just before Lu Mu ran out, the opposite side ushered in the Manchu War Division. Seeing Shuai Qi rushing towards this side, Man Zhan was startled.
Lu Mu shouted loudly, "Full battle, there is no need to face the battle, the crossbow array refuses to defend." ”
"No! Commands, arrays. ”
With an order from the full battle, the vanguard army immediately jumped off the war horse and drew the bow and crossbow from the horse bag. Row upon row, a crossbowman with a pikeman, but in the middle there was the width of a troika.
After Lu Mu rushed over, he immediately stopped advancing. The soldiers and horses evacuated from the West Vietnam quickly passed through the passage. Fang Guchao also rushed through the left passage with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Although there were still many West Vietnamese guards behind, Duan Lang and others also killed them, and they had to order the passage to be closed to block Duan Lang's soldiers and horses.
Duan Lang looked at the dense crossbow array on the opposite side, and in desperation, he had no choice but to fight with a halberd, and ordered to stop the pursuit. If the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnamese were able to escape, they could be regarded as picking up a life, and if they did not escape, they immediately became the target of pursuit. Duan Lang knew that the casualties were too great to rush over like this, although Lu Mu was in the opposite camp, Duan Lang also knew that his troops could not afford to suffer casualties.
This is the hinterland of the Moro country, and they do not have any logistical supplies or military supplies. What's more, once these 60,000 soldiers and horses are lost and exhausted, Duan Lang may not be able to train such outstanding soldiers and horses within a few years. The brothers in front of him are all people who have survived bloody battles, and the life and death experience on the battlefield is not something that can be obtained in training. Long Mu could ignore the losses, and Lu Mu could tolerate a large number of casualties, but Duan Lang didn't dare. Unless his soldiers and horses are faced with a life-and-death decision, or can give the other party a devastating blow, Duan Lang will not hesitate to order the killing.
Lu Mu's evacuated army gradually stabilized, and Lantai Mingyue also came to Duan Lang's side, and behind them, Zhang Ruming with two hundred crossbow carts was rushing towards this side shouting.
Seeing the other party's ballista, Lu Mu gritted his teeth, "The army listened to the order, and after the troops were pressed, they withdrew to the Moro camp." ”
Lu Mu saw the power of the ballista, and he didn't want to lose his guards in vain. Fortunately, as soon as the battle came, they once again had an advantage in terms of strength, at least they could force Duan Lang not to dare to fight rashly. After all, in Taniguchi's rush and killing, Duan Lang's soldiers suffered many casualties. If it really goes on, it may not be beneficial to Duan Lang's side.
Zhang Ruming asked the guards to drive his crossbow cart with a handsome flag to the front of the formation, watching the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses retreat, Zhang Ruming hated to climb on top of the pile crossbow and scolded loudly.
"Lu Mu, don't run away if you have a kind of little bastard. Come on, fight with grandpa for 300 rounds, whoever admits instigation is a grandson. ”
Lu Mu's handsome car gradually faded away, of course he would not scold Zhang Ruming like this. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue did not give the order to attack, they had just gathered together, and they also needed to be integrated. Otherwise, if you continue to chase and kill, it is easy to deviate from each other.
Duan Lang looked sideways at Zhang Ruming, who was still lying on the pile crossbow and pouting his buttocks, and said with relief, "Old man, I haven't seen you these days, I really miss you a little." ”
Zhang Ruming straightened his waist proudly, and pointed to the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses who were evacuated in the distance, "See, Lao Tzu was scared away as soon as that kid arrived." If Lu Mu doesn't run, I will have to kill him. ”
"Alright, come down quickly, don't fall on you." Yutai Mingyue hurriedly asked the guards to help Zhang Ruming down.
At this time, Zhou Long and Zhou Wu, who had cleaned up the battlefield, also came to the front of the battle. Looking at these brothers in blood-colored armor, all the soldiers fell silent. Zhou Long jumped off the war horse, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists and said.
"The last general, Zhou Long, has lost the trust of my lord and lost his generals, so I am here to ask for the guilt!"
Looking at Zhou Long, who was dressed in blood-colored armor, Duan Lang raised his legs and jumped off the war horse, and walked over to help Zhou Long up.
"It's not easy for you to survive in the face of Lu Mu's ambush. Benjun ~ forgive you for your innocence! ”
Duan Lang did not act as the boss, but as the emperor, and solemnly pardoned Zhou Long's mistakes. According to the traditions and military regulations of the Duan family's army, such a huge loss, even if the main general is not beheaded, will need at least fifty military staffs. Just like when Zhou Hu's department was ambushed by Hu Tianzhuang in Nanping, Duan Lang ordered fifty military staff in order to be strict with military regulations. It's just that Zhou Hu's cane was shared by everyone and escaped. Today, Zhou Long also suffered huge losses in the Moro Kingdom, but Duan Lang pardoned his crimes as an emperor, which is enough to show that the majesty of military discipline cannot be offended.
Zhou Long choked up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just that Zhou Long is ashamed of those dead brothers, and he has no shame to take on the position of general again." Zhou Long is willing to make meritorious service as a soldier, and hopes that His Majesty will fulfill it. Zhou Long said, kneeling down again to plead guilty.
Duan Lang frowned, although he and Zhou Long were brothers and sisters, but after all, this was in front of the army. Moreover, Zhou Long asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom to surrender his crimes, and in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers, Duan Lang couldn't help but treat himself as a dish. What's more, Duan Lang saw that Zhou Long's heart knot was very heavy when he lost this battle. This is no better than the feat of the original 8,000 warriors, they occupied a 'brave' word in that battle, and they had no shame in their hearts in the face of their dead brothers. And in this battle, Lu Mu almost wiped out Zhou Long's entire army with almost no soldiers, and this knot would be very heavy on anyone.
didn't wait for Duan Lang to speak, but Tai Mingyue said, "Zhou Long, how can the position of general be child's play, it's not that you should do it." Since the establishment of the soldiers and horses in the capital city before the founding of the People's Republic of China, which general is not the accumulation of military exploits. Of course, if there is a mistake, it will be punished, and if there is merit, it will be rewarded, so as to convince the public. At present, our army has crossed to Moro, and the situation is different, and it cannot be generalized, so your sins will be written down for the time being. As for your position as general, of course, it is up to the commander to decide. ”
Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Since you have spoken, why are you still pushing me. You must know that in front of all the soldiers, Duan Lang has always shown it with fairness and strictness. Just now, he pardoned as an emperor, but he didn't want to destroy the dignity of the commander's military discipline in the army. Even if he wears two hats, the emperor can be favoritistic, but the commander of an army cannot be biased.
Duan Lang was pondering what to say, but found that Lantai Mingyue looked at Zhang Ruming, "Marshal Shangguan, are you right when you say that this military division is right?" ”
Zhang Ruming opened his mouth dumbly, as if he suddenly understood, "Uh~ Yes, yes, I'm the boss." was all angry with Lu Mu's childishness, and Lao Tzu almost forgot that he was the commander of the army. What is that~ Zhou Long listened to the order. ”
Zhou Long looked at Duan Lang suspiciously, and Zhang Ruming's eyes widened, "Look at what he is doing, Lao Tzu is the boss." Look up, the handsome flag is still flying. ”
Zhou Long had no choice but to hug his fists and say, "Zhou Long see Shangguan Dashuai." ”
When Zhang Ruming heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest, "That~ You all listen." Zhou Long led the troops to lose, and the main general was punished without shirking responsibility. But now that the war is not over, Zhou Long, the general, will temporarily assume it. But~! You can't go unpunished if you make a mistake, and you'll be fine when you're done. Of course, whoever grows so big doesn't make any mistakes, even a person as a sage like this Heavenly Master will occasionally ~. ”
"You are endless, the brothers fought hard, how can you listen to your blind work, if you have a fart, let it go!" Duan Lang knew that Zhang Ruming was a talker, so if he let him continue, he might be able to say that it was dark.
Zhang Ruming was on the rise, and was suddenly interrupted by Duan Lang, and pointed at Duan Lang angrily, "You~ You are simply rude, be careful I will beat you with the Wanmin Scepter." Forget it, this Heavenly Master doesn't care about you. What's that, I'll punish Zhou Long~ Go and catch a pheasant for this handsome man and come back. Now a pheasant can be worth 100,000 enemy soldiers, as long as the commander eats well, our soldiers will be invincible. ”
Zhang Ruming raised his hands high, as if preparing to meet the shouts of 10,000 people. It's just that the soldiers have serious faces, and no one responds to him at all. Zhang Ruming coughed embarrassedly, and put down his arms boringly.
Yutai Mingyue said, "General Zhou Long, since the commander said it, this is a military order. As the commander of an army, the military order is like a mountain, how can he regret it. This military advisor hopes that you can take the burden in your heart as the fire of revenge. Now that you know that the opponent is Lu Mu, this blood debt, you should go and ask for the dead brothers back with your own hands. Zhou Long, cheer up, we still have a very difficult road ahead. ”
Zhou Long's cheeks moved, and he clenched his fists gratefully and said, "Zhou Long, thank you, Master Strategist." ”
"You don't have to thank me, you should thank our Heavenly Master." Yutai Mingyue pointed, which means that you haven't received the order yet.
Zhou Long looked at Zhang Ruming, clasped his fists and bowed down and said, "The last general has an order, thank you to the boss." ”
Duan Lang stepped forward and patted Zhou Long's blood-colored battle armor, looked back at the soldiers, and said loudly.
"Brothers, for the defeat more than ten days ago, I and the Mingyue Military Division also have unshirkable responsibility. This matter has passed for the time being, and Ben Shuai is now announcing~! ”
"I'm the manager." Zhang Ruming pointed to his nose.
"Don't talk, shut up!" Yutai Mingyue glared and reminded Zhang Ruming in a low voice.
Looking at Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue's serious appearance, Zhang Ruming pursed his lips, and said in his heart that these two people are facing forward, and if they don't need it, they will leave behind, next time don't want Lao Tzu to be a shield for you.
Duan Lang didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Ruming, and immediately ordered the army to travel about ten miles west and set up camp at the edge of a mountain forest. According to preliminary statistics, the battle of the canyon cost Lu Mu nearly 15,000 people. However, Duan Lang's side also suffered more than 2,300 casualties and more than 1,500 casualties. The original army of 60,000 people, after several battles, now has less than 30,000 left. Such a price made Duan Lang under great pressure. Fortunately, the other party's losses were even heavier, and Duan Lang didn't have to worry about being besieged by the enemy's army for the time being.
On the other side, the Moro army and the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses did not dare to stay on the side of the canyon any longer, and quickly retreated to Mamaiya City after converging.
In the palace, the most angry person was not Lu Mu. Today, Lu Mu's West Vietnamese army still has more than 40,000 troops who can still fight except for the wounded. But Long Mu, the commander of the Moro Kingdom, was furious and hated to smash the government. After the Huertai department was retracted, more than 20,000 people finally returned. Once a 150,000-strong army came in a mighty way, and now there are less than 40,000 horses left that have been killed by Duan Lang little by little. Long Mu didn't know what the lord of the kingdom would do with him, but this battle was not over yet, and Long Mu had to report the matter to the lord of the country, and he had to quickly mobilize the army of Chalcinker to come to support.
Two sparrowhawks flew out of the city of Mamaia, and one flew to the city of Jacques to report the battle to the lord Vupor Khan. The other flew to a military station not far from Chalcink's army. Don't look at Duan Lang, there are less than 30,000 people left, but Long Mu is afraid of being beaten. He implored the lord of the country to gather the forces of the world and completely destroy Duan Lang with a strong military advantage. Long Mu no longer even believed in Lu Mu, the great sage of Xiyue, he felt that Lu Mu was nothing more than that, and tens of thousands of troops were still killed by Duan Lang's troops.
At the same time, Duan Lang and the others also made a major decision after discussion. Duan Lang didn't dare to use this less than 30,000 troops to fight hard with the enemy, after all, this was the hinterland of Moro, and the more Duan Lang's men and horses were consumed, the more likely they were to be surrounded and killed by the other party. What's more, Lu Mu's participation changed the assumption at the beginning of the war, and Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue had to reverse the dilemma of lack of manpower.
Da Fei flew to the capital city with the warrant of Mingyue in Tai, where there were the shadows and scouts left by Mingyue. Tangtai Mingyue wanted to ask General Qi Ke, the defender of the capital city, to convey to his eldest brother Tangtai Moli and gather the troops of the Northern Ming Dynasty to march into the Moro Kingdom in an all-round way.
On the secret letter of the Ming Moon of the Tai, it was not for the Moli of the Tai to send troops to meet them. Instead, they gathered the army of Mondu and attacked directly at the city of Jax, the capital of the Moro kingdom. When the time comes, Vupor Khan will definitely mobilize troops and horses to defend the national capital with all his might. For the rest of Lu Mu's soldiers and horses, Duan Lang has already made a ruthless determination and will never let them return to Xiyue alive.
The men and horses of all sides began to dispatch troops, and Lu Mu of Xiyue also wrote a letter to the lord of the country, Zhou Zhongde. Lu Mu faintly felt that the situation in the world was about to undergo major changes, and at this time, it seemed that the place of battle was in Moro, but it affected the fundamental interests of the entire world. With the defeat of Moro, Western Vietnam will face the heavy pressure of the front and rear attacks, and it is simply unable to resist the alliance of the Great Calendar Kingdom and the Northern Ming Dynasty alone. Lu Mu implored the lord of the country, Zhou Zhongde, to increase his troops at the risk of Moro, and now saving Moro is also saving them from Xiyue. Lu Mu even wrote a blood letter, vowing not to return to China if he did not kill Duan Lang.
