Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle of Wusui

Under the refreshing morning breeze, the summer heat has long been hidden, the sky has just brightened, in a golden farmland on the south bank of the river, hard-working people carry farm tools, humming a long tune is walking to the place where they work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Passing through the lush crop fields and skirting the groves, someone suddenly noticed that the farmer in front of him had stopped, and he couldn't help but look at the former's gaze in confusion, only to find that a little far ahead, groups of soldiers were hurrying on the path by the river, and it was obvious that they were Korean soldiers from their outfits. Immediately, a timid farmer screamed and threw off the farm tools on his shoulders and ran back, but he was still bold, took a few steps back and hid behind the big trees, and looked curiously at these Han soldiers who seemed to be being driven to the west. However, today is really a lucky day for these land farmers, because these Korean soldiers are only in a hurry, and they have no intention of stopping for a moment, so naturally they do not come to harass the locals, and they do not even trample on the crops in the field.

If you look down from the sky at this time, you will find this black long dragon, straight from Gongyi to Mengjin, dozens of miles long road to the west can not see the end, can not see the east, densely packed are Han soldiers in black robes, from time to time in the place where the long dragon thickened, there was a sound of the chief beating and scolding, and even the snapping sound of the whip hitting the flesh, so the bulging bag in the long dragon's body quickly moved forward, and after a while, the long dragon's body returned to the general thickness.

Zheng Xiaojia is one of the Han soldiers in this long dragon, he was running in the middle of the team at this time, and he saw the commander whipping the lazy soldiers on the road a few times, so Zheng Xiaojia's pace did not dare to slow down for a moment. Looking at the farmers carrying farm tools on the side of the road, some of them turned around and ran away when they saw Han Bing, and some of them stayed in place with frightened expressions, but Zheng Xiaojia was a little envious of these farmers in his heart.

Zheng Xiaojia was originally from Zhengdu, that is, Zheng Guoguo, who was destroyed by South Korea seven years ago, and after the country was broken, there were no Zheng people, only Koreans, but many nostalgic people still insisted on changing their surnames to Zheng, which was the case in Zheng Xiaoxi's family. Han Hou is good at martial arts, so many of the people in Zheng Du have been forcibly drawn into the army, and Xiao Jia is like this. In the past few years, the Korean army has not suffered many defeats, and the victory is not big, and Zheng Xiaojia has accidentally become a veteran in the army, but out of anxiety about the old Zheng Guoren, he is still an ordinary soldier.

If you can save your life, not to mention that Han Hou is open-minded, he can still get some military salary, and he can marry a lady in two years, Zheng Xiaojia's heart has always been full of hope, until this time, he was woken up by the commanders with whips in his sleep, and saw the commander running around like crazy in the military camp, Zheng Xiaojia's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, as a veteran, he naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. So at this time, when he was trotting with the team on the way to Mengjin, Zheng Xiaojia suddenly envied the ignorant farmer on the side of the road for the first time.

After two days of non-stop running, I finally arrived at the most important ferry port on the south bank of the Great River - Mengjin, I heard that this was originally the ferry port of the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty, but now it is controlled by the great Han Hou. When Zheng Xiaojia arrived with the team, the small Mengjin ferry was already crowded, full of Han soldiers who arrived first in one place to rest, and the soldiers who arrived later could not squeeze in and had to disperse outside, and from time to time I heard someone scolding the chief, since this ferry is so crowded, why is the road still so desperate? After waiting for a few hours, it was Zheng Xiaojia's turn to cross the river in a hurry, the big river was only a few thousand steps wide, and the small ferry boat went up and down with the waves in the turbulent river, just like Zheng Xiaojia's mood was extremely uncalm. A wave came and almost overturned the boat, as if to foreshadow the end of this hasty expedition.

It was easy to get on the north shore, and the tired cramping boatman was driven back to Mengjin by the whip, thinking that he could catch his breath again, but he didn't expect to be yelled at by the commander again, so Zheng Xiaojia had to run west with the team that arrived first just now.

It wasn't until it was dark that he couldn't see it, and he stopped in this desperate hurry, and after gnawing a few mouthfuls of dry food he brought with him, Zheng Xiaojia and his comrades fell asleep next to each other, and they came from Zheng Du for two days, even the iron man couldn't bear it, so he didn't care if there was a tent or not, and after they fell to the ground, they heard the snoring all around, fortunately, the early autumn night was not too cold.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the whole group of soldiers was called up one by one by the anxious commanders, and after stuffing a few mouthfuls of hard dry food, they hurried westward again. Yesterday, I was still waiting for the boat at the ferry for a while, but today I ran all day, when my feet were straight, before sunset, I finally saw a high city, and my heart was relieved, and the chief's shouting and scolding stopped, and I knew that this was the end of the trip, and the important border town of South Korea - Wusui City. It took four days to rush from Zhengdu to Wusui, what a miracle, the task was finally completed, and the commanders were relieved, only to find that they had been running for so long, and as soon as their legs were weak, the centurion who was scolding just now collapsed to the ground, and was helped to run to Wusui City.

When I entered the city, I found that the atmosphere of the whole city was particularly tense, and the streets were full of soldiers armed with spears, although my team was not the fastest, but it was not the latest, and the barracks in the city were almost full of people, and it was easy to vacate the territory, but it was so crowded that I couldn't sleep, and I could only sit and sleep at night, but it was not camping in the house, so I didn't see anyone complaining. In the middle of the night, I slept in a daze, and I heard a noise, thinking that it was a soldier who had arrived late.

This Wusui is an important city on the border of South Korea, from the west gate is the territory of Wei, and south of the river, has always been a place for soldiers, at this time it is one of the frontier positions of South Korea to defend Wei. Korea was originally in the territory of the old Jin State north of the Great River, but after the three families were divided into Jin, under the oppression of Wei Zhao, South Korea had to develop to the south, so it crossed the Great River, captured the Sanchuan and Yingchuan in the south of Luoyang, and the Chu State in the south, and then turned to the east to destroy the Zheng State, in order to seek greater development, Han Hou moved the capital to the Zheng capital that had just been occupied seven years ago. However, because there is an inextinguishable Zhou Luoyang land in the middle, the territory of South Korea has been squeezed into a gourd-shaped, the old land in the north is large, and the new land in the south is also large, but the middle is squeezed into a thin waist by Luoyang, and Han Hou is also forced to publicly support Gongyi's son's class out of helplessness. And this Wu Sui is located in the westernmost part of the thin waist, directly connected to the southeast, and the importance of its strategic position can be seen, so there are many troops stationed in the whole city, and at this time, it is urgently transferred from the national capital, and the war is really not ordinary tension.

On the second day of arriving at Wusui, he easily stayed in the city for a whole day, neither on the city wall nor was he sent out to meet the battle, presumably because the Wei soldiers had not yet arrived. I don't know how the South Korean high-level learned that the Wei soldiers were about to invade the border, and the low-level soldiers couldn't help but speculate in private.

However, it was only quiet for two days, and when he arrived in the early morning of the fourth day of Wusui, Zheng Xiaojia, who was still listening to the earth in his sleep, suddenly felt that the earth trembled, and woke up suddenly. After having a hurried breakfast, Zheng Xiaojia took the spear with the soldiers of his team, put the longbow on his back, and went out from the west gate in a procession. A team of Han soldiers came out of the West Gate, and then quickly laid down a huge phalanx in the open space a few miles away from the West Gate, fortunately Zheng Xiaojia's location was in the back column, looking at the square formations that could not be seen, Zheng Xiaojia sighed lightly, this posture is not small, I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 soldiers in a hurry from Han Hou.

After a while after the formation was completed, I saw the footsteps of the earth-shattering in front of me getting closer and closer, rumbling like thunder in the sky, and if the recruits were afraid that they would be scared to pee their pants at this time. Zheng Xiaojia stood at the back, unable to see who came, but also knew that it was the world's strongest soldier Wei Bing came, although Wei was defeated last year, but ordinary soldiers still couldn't help but be afraid of Wei soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, Zheng Xiaojia was no exception, so he grabbed the spear in his hand tightly.

In the column, ordinary soldiers did not know how the battle was going on. In the nervousness, Zheng Xiaojia only heard the sound of neat footsteps that were gradually approaching, and the whole land suddenly quieted down, and the strong contrast made all the Han soldiers nervous as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer in their hearts. Zheng Xiaojia knew that the big war was coming, and since he came to Wusui, Zheng Xiaojia knew that it was to guard against the Wei State, and the Marquis of Wei was going to come to report the shame of being besieged last year, and this big war was only afraid that it would be extremely difficult.

Sure enough, after hearing the general on his side shouting a few times, he heard a buzzing sound, as a veteran, Zheng Xiaojia naturally knew that this was the sound of countless people holding bows and shooting arrows together, and when he heard the sound, he looked up, and saw countless black dots flying densely in the sky in front of him, and the secret of the black dots seemed to cover the sky. I didn't think that this Wei army would start a war without even saying hello, it seems that the legend said that Wei Hou was eager to be ashamed.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was getting closer and closer, and the Korean soldiers in front of the queue seemed to be in a commotion, but immediately an officer's shout sounded, "Raise your shield!" "Shoot back!" One after another, the front of the queue finally began to calm down, and there was also the sound of loose arrows. Looking from the back of the queue, I saw that the black dots in the sky began to descend after reaching a height, and after a while, they swooped down like the shadow of an ancient beast, and the sound of rubbing immediately sounded in front, which was the sound of arrows shooting only on the wooden shield, and the sound of shooting into the flesh, these sounds were also mixed with a wail, and Zheng Xiaojia's scalp was numb for a while.

Restlessness began to appear in the rear team, but it was quickly suppressed by the officers. The front team, which was all the elite of the army, did not immediately rout, but began to organize archers to fight back. However, the Wei army apparently did not give the Han soldiers much time to react, the first wave of arrows landed, and the second wave of arrows flew into the sky. After three rounds of arrows, I only heard a roar from the Wei army in the distance, and the footsteps that shook the sky sounded again, standing behind and couldn't see, only hearing the footsteps sounding, it seemed that a huge beast was rushing over, Zheng Xiaojia estimated that there were young soldiers around him peeing their pants.

However, the Han soldiers were not vegetarians, and under the general's orders, the entire queue rushed forward with their spears raised. Soon, Zheng Xiaojia ran to the place where the front team was standing, and saw blood all over the ground and soldiers rolling on the ground in wailing, but he didn't bother to look at it a few times, and quickly ran over. At the thought of bumping into the strongest soldier in the world, Zheng Xiaojia's heart became more and more nervous.

The biggest advantage of being in the back column is that you don't have to be the first to engage with the enemy soldiers, and sure enough, after running for a while, I saw someone in the front team turn around and run back, some officers immediately scolded, and even pulled out their swords and cut over a few, but they still couldn't control the more and more people who fled, and finally some officers began to turn around, seeing this, Zheng Xiaojia, who had already slowed down his pace, no longer hesitated, quickly turned his head, ran to the east, and couldn't help flashing a question in his mind, this is just a contact, are we defeated like this?

However, it was important to escape, and the soldiers were defeated and their own generals were responsible, and Zheng Xiaojia, who knew this well, immediately ran as if he was dead.
