Chapter 355: The Yellow Sparrow of Coincidence
"General, the brethren at night can't see the road clearly, and the road is too slippery, so ......," the hundred-household official wanted to explain. But in the end, under Zhang Shihui's cold gaze, in the end, he was speechless and didn't dare to say anything.
But even so, Zhang Shihui's heart is still extremely unpleasant.
Because he found that he really seemed to have taken a bad move. It was an official road that had been in disrepair for a long time, and with a heavy rain, the potholed road was full of water and silt. To put it mildly, that's really not a human walk.
He originally thought that the withdrawal of troops in the middle of the night would have the effect of surprise, and even more so to avoid the pursuit of the enemy. But now, when they were fighting away, they withdrew their troops on an extremely difficult road in the middle of the night without hurting the enemy, but instead put themselves in a dilemma, giving the enemy fighting at home a great opportunity.
So at this time, in order to avoid the bad impact caused by the change of the imperial order, Zhang Shihui, who had eaten the consequences, could only grit his teeth and go all the way to the dark.
"Now that there is no way to heal the wounded, you put the wounded on stretchers and bring the bodies of the dead brothers. You can't leave a single person behind in life or death, understand? "Even though my heart is full of anxiety, restlessness and remorse.
But Zhang Shihui, as the main general, is still the same as usual on the face. The complexion is indifferent, giving people a feeling of being in the chest.
Therefore, when he heard his words, the hundred household officials hurriedly agreed, and they couldn't help but beckon, and carried the bodies of the wounded and dead soldiers on the stretcher one by one, so that the passage could be restored again.
"General, the road is difficult, and the brethren who are blinded by the lights are really invisible. We've been gone for almost an hour, but we've only walked more than ten miles. So the last general thinks, should I let the brothers eat something, recover their strength and then go on the road? ”
After dealing with this stampede, Zhang Yang, as the deputy Wanhu, couldn't help but find that by now, the expressions of his soldiers were already full of fatigue. Therefore, he, who has always been sympathetic to his soldiers, couldn't help but say such things to Zhang Shihui.
When Zhang Shihui heard this, he looked around and found that most of the black-clothed soldiers around him also looked tired. Therefore, after a long sigh of silence, he could not help but speak: "In this case, let the brothers rest in place for two ...... A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour later, let's set off again. ”
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihui's words, Zhang Yang sang a promise in response, and couldn't help but shout and convey the order.
Therefore, in this way, the soldiers and horses of more than 10,000 people in the front, middle and rear were also in the same place, temporarily stopping the pace of advancement.
"Oh, that's weird. Ergou, did you hear any movement? "The rear army, the rear of the three thousand soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Nineteen. A soldier turned to look at the southeast direction, that is, the discovery of the Suizhou checkpoint, and couldn't help but suddenly ask his comrades around him such a clueless sentence.
"Movement...... Uh, what a move. I didn't hear it at all, okay Lian Sheng, hurry up and eat some dry food, and we'll continue to hurry later. Saying this, the soldier, nicknamed Ergou, couldn't help but take out the dry food from his bosom and eat it.
However, in this regard, the soldier named Lian Sheng shook his head, but a pair of eyes still turned to stare at the back.
"Well, that's ...... Birds, that's the sound of birds, ......" Just as he seemed to be about to react to something, a familiar bowstring sound came, and then an arrow that shimmered in the middle of the night could not help but gradually enlarge in his pupils.
Then, Lian Sheng only felt a sharp pain in his left eye, and his body couldn't help but fall into the mud and completely lost consciousness.
But before he lost consciousness, he also seemed to faintly hear the mournful shouts of his fellow countrymen.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" In an instant, more than 10,000 black-clothed soldiers suddenly boiled.
To be honest, none of them expected that there would be people in the world who would dare to pursue them. Chase them like rats and pursue an invincible army like them.
Therefore, after hearing this enemy attack, Wang Nineteen, who commanded the rear army, roared angrily, and couldn't help but pick up the steel knife and roared angrily to organize the soldiers and horses under his command to launch a counterattack.
"Kill, !!" Suddenly, the earth-shattering shouts of killing couldn't help but pierce the night sky. Up to now, the two armies can't help but really break out into a white-knuckle battle.
"Poof~~" The sound of steel knives spurting into the bones and blood was still so loud even after the fierce battle broke out between the two armies.
And with such a voice, the killing between the two armies naturally became more and more violent.
"Brothers, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, give me the courage to kill them all!" Wang Nineteen waved his sword and roared, loudly boosting morale. Because it was a late-night march, the black-clothed sergeants did not wear heavy armor, and they hurried with armor and supplies on their backs, and their physical strength was a little weak, so in the early days of the battle, the black-clothed soldiers couldn't help but fall into disadvantage.
However, Wang Nineteen is not afraid of this at all. Since the night attack of the officers and soldiers failed to defeat them at the first time, as long as the troops of the front army and the middle army put on armor. At that time, with the superiority in strength and equipment, it is obviously not difficult to defeat this army of officers and soldiers.
Even after defeating this army, they may be able to come back and take all the levels. Thinking like this in his heart, Wang Nineteen couldn't help but greet him with his personal guards.
However, for this, not only Wang Nineteen knew, but also Li Bo, who launched the night attack, naturally understood.
So after fighting for a quarter of an hour, when I saw that the situation was not as one-sided as I expected, I gradually became a little anxious. Li Bo also understood that this time he really underestimated their enemy.
However, there is a saying that 'it is difficult to recover from the water', and now that the two armies have started a fierce battle, how can he stop.
Therefore, after understanding that this battle is not won is death, Li Bo couldn't help but shout angrily: "Soldiers, life or death is tonight." Tonight, whoever beheads the first level will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the soldiers will be killed with me! ”
roared like this, Li Bo, who was supervising the battle behind the battle, couldn't help but lead his personal guards to kill and injure the front line.
When the officers and soldiers saw this, they could not help but be greatly boosted by the encouragement of the heavy reward and the vigorous uncle, and the whole army burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness. Therefore, this army of officers and soldiers, who were like wolves, couldn't help but kill the black-clothed sergeants who were fighting them in this moment.
"Damn! Death to those who retreat, kill me! Seeing that his soldiers and horses had a tendency to rout under the enemy's mad charge, Wang 19 killed a retreating soldier with a single sword, and then he couldn't help but take the surrounding guards with his sword and once again entered the enemy formation.
However, the two armies fight, especially one person can turn the tide.
Therefore, although Wang Nineteen was extremely fierce, under the crazy attack of the officers and soldiers, the rear army under his command was still difficult to hide its decline.
But fortunately, at this time, the front army and the Chinese army rushed over one after another. And when with the support and joining of the heavy infantry regiment, the officers and soldiers had the upper hand for a short time, and they couldn't help but be beaten back to their original form by the black-clothed sergeants who far surpassed them in strength and equipment.
"Kill! Kill me! Kill them all! After accumulating the anger in his heart, and now he finally found a way to vent, as the main general, Zhang Shihui commanded more than 10,000 black-clothed soldiers under his command, and naturally launched a vigorous counterattack.
And under such a big counterattack, Li Bo and they were naturally killed and retreated.
"The general is gone, and the brothers are about to be unable to stop it. The black-clothed thieves are too fierce, and they are twice as many as ours in terms of troops, so there is no chance for them, so let's withdraw our troops! Half an hour passed after the fierce fighting, and the officers and soldiers couldn't help but fall into a disadvantage.
Therefore, at this time, the generals among the officers and soldiers could not help but waver, and their courage to fight against the enemy was also diminished again and again.
But at this time, as the night raiders, there is still any possibility for them to withdraw their troops. The reason why the officers and men are still holding on now is because they still have the last courage in their hearts, so what awaits them is obviously a great rout in pursuit of the dead and chasing the north.
Therefore, looking at the thousand-household official who was wavering, Li Bo's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help swinging his knife and cutting off his head with a knife.
"At this moment, our army has no way to retreat. Therefore, in today's battle, if you don't win, you will die, if you dare to say goodbye, this will be the end! Liberal, whose face was covered in blood, roared like this.
And hearing his words, under the shock of his years of accumulation, all the soldiers couldn't help but temporarily extinguish the thought of running away and retreating. One by one, they roared again, and they couldn't help but meet the enemy.
"Thief !!" The officers and soldiers shouted to kill, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Therefore, under the fighting of officers and soldiers like this, even if the strength of the black-clothed sergeants far exceeded that of the officers and soldiers, because it was late at night and the official road was relatively narrow, it was difficult for the black-clothed army to give full play to the advantage of troops, and it was still difficult to take down Li Bo and others for a while.
However, the two armies have fought so far, and people with discerning eyes can see that under the black-clothed sergeants relying on the superiority in strength and launching a tidal offensive, the defeat of Li Bo's side is only a matter of time.
"Haha, general, look. In half an hour at most, the enemy will be crushed by our troops. At that time, as long as our military rank is chased and killed, it will definitely not be a problem to win the Suizhou checkpoint in one fell swoop. Looking at the good battle situation on the front line, Zhang Yang, the deputy Wanhu, couldn't help but smile at Zhang Shihui.
At this time, with the ups and downs of the situation, Zhang Shihui at this time was also very happy in his heart.
Therefore, when he heard Zhang Yang's words, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahahaha, this is the fate of the Tartars who underestimated my black-clothed army." Seeing that our army was withdrawing, they dared to come and chase and kill our army, which was really bold. No, it's a bitter fruit. ”
Saying this, Zhang Shihui and Zhang Yang looked at each other again, and they couldn't help laughing together again when they were proud and happy.
But there is a good saying, that is, "On the battlefield, even a wise general can never guess what will happen in the next second." ”
No, just when the two of them were happy that the battle was going well, they didn't expect that someone was eyeing them in the rear.
"See. Do you see the guy over there who is protected by thieves and riding a tall horse? If my expectations are correct, this man must be the leader of more than 10,000 black-clothed thieves. Because of the establishment of a banner of the word "Zhang", Wu Kang observed for a long time, and then he couldn't help but determine Zhang Shihui's identity with a feeling of being inseparable.
Yes, the person who was staring at them in Zhang Shihui's rear was indeed Wu Kang and the others who led 800 soldiers to attack Zhang Shihui's grain road.
According to the original plan, after Wu Kang and the others succeeded in the sneak attack, they naturally had to turn back as soon as possible, and then bring the good news of their success to Li Bo.
However, although their sneak attack was successful, they did not expect that in the process, they would suddenly have nearly 100 more wounded. Therefore, under the drag of the wounded, their marching speed could not help but slow down several notches at once.
So even after a full day, they still couldn't return to the level.
But because Wu Kang was really afraid that he would have long nights and dreams, so when he felt that it was not far from the Suizhou checkpoint, Wu Kang couldn't help but take his subordinates to rush overnight.
And that's how the coincidence happened. Not long after they hurried in the middle of the night, they couldn't help but be attracted by the fierce shouting and killing.
Therefore, after the fierce bloody battle broke out between Li Bo and Zhang Shihui, Qianhu Wu Kang and his subordinates couldn't help but become a group of spectators who no one knew about the two armies.
Because he officially fought with the Black Army, and almost died under the hands of the Black Army. Therefore, Wu Kang naturally knew the strength of the black-clothed army.
Therefore, at the beginning, even if he participated in this battle by coincidence, Wu Kang would not rush forward with a hot head. Because he knew that if he did, he would be a fool with eggs and stones.
So although from the beginning to the present, his boss Li Bo has gradually fallen into disadvantage under the counterattack of the Black Army. But Wu Kang still maintained his sanity and calmness, did not attack blindly, but patiently looked for Zhang Shihui, the main general who commanded the soldiers of the black-clothed army of ten thousand households. In order to give these more than 10,000 black-clothed soldiers a trick to kill with one blow.
And just like that, after half an hour of patient observation, Wu Kang couldn't help but be sure of the behavior of the black-clothed sergeant. The person who was guarded by four or five hundred soldiers and horses should be the brother of Zhang Shihua, the black-clothed thief chieftain, and Zhang Shihui, the chief general of the more than 10,000 black-clothed soldiers and horses who commanded De'an.
