Chapter 361: A Night of Wandering
At this time, the sky was extremely dark, and only the bright light of a white flower could be seen, Han Dexiang's heart froze, and he ordered the army to stop and exclude the front of the horse. After a while, before the horse came back, the soldiers and horses suddenly became agitated, and many war horses lost control, Yu Yu screamed for a while, the war horses were in chaos, the crowd was even more chaotic, many war horses turned around and turned towards the rear army, the soldiers were still resting, where would they expect such a change, one was careless, and a few unlucky eggs were trampled to death by the war horses.
Han Dexiang's heart was furious, he saw the first few soldiers in front of him running closer, drew their knives and shouted, "Stop, what are you running?" ”
"General Han is not good, there is a lot of water in front of him, there are a lot of corpses" The soldier's face was pale, his whole body trembled, maybe he ran too fast, and he didn't know where he lost the weapon in his hand.
Seeing the soldier's whole body trembling, Han Dexiang secretly scolded a waste, isn't it just big water and dead people, and those who fight are still afraid of the dead? Just as he was about to scold, he suddenly felt a deep uneasiness in his heart, this is Liufan Mountains, how can there be water? More than 20 miles northwest of Liufan Mountains, it is a typical sand and gravel landform, the river does not pass through here, and the rain is less, so this place has not seen water for decades. The appearance of water is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that this place is high around the city because of the Liufan Mountains, and the middle terrain is extremely low, and the location of the cheetah camp is exactly in the center of the lowest terrain.
Huh, Han Dexiang's heart trembled, at this time, the scouts sent also galloped back, and the previous restless Liao soldiers, several scouts also had a panicked look on their faces, they did not get off the horse, and hurriedly said. "General Han, retreat. A large amount of standing water was found several miles away. It's slowly pouring in here, and there are a lot of corpses in the water, countless."
Hearing this, Han Dexiang couldn't figure out where those corpses came from, turned his horse's head, and shouted, "The whole army retreats to the Liufanling Heights, withdraw quickly"
Camp Cheetah is well-trained. They are all cavalry, so it is very convenient to retreat, of course, the main reason why the Cheetah Battalion can escape with their lives is that after the water of the Gray River has rushed for more than ten miles, the water speed has slowed down a lot.
Wuzhou City, the uneasiness in Yelusha's heart became stronger and stronger, he felt as if he had made a mistake, if the Han people wanted Wuzhou City, they must want an intact Wuzhou. If the water floods the city of Wuzhou, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liao will inevitably suffer from the inhabitants of the city. Most of them will withdraw from Wuzhou, but the Han people will not be able to enter Wuzhou, the ruthlessness of water and fire is fair to both sides, if the water is really released, are the Han people sure that they will occupy Wuzhou City earlier than the Da Liao warriors before the water dries? The answer is no, in any case, the Great Liao warriors were able to reoccupy Wuzhou before the Han Chinese. If everything expected is true, then the possibility of the Han people digging the Ash River to flood Wuzhou is also very small, if Wuzhou is not flooded, why dig the Ash River?
Hiss, gradually, Yerusha's heart sank to the bottom, pushed open the door, and hurriedly ordered the guards guarding outside, "Go to the east of the stone bridge and have a look, if you find Tobuye, let him withdraw quickly."
Yerusha's reaction was still too slow, and when the news of the burial of tens of thousands of troops in the Gray River came back, Jerusha's face turned pale and pale, and the green tendons on his hands skyrocketed, and he sat down in a chair. Tens of thousands of troops were buried east of the stone bridge, and such a big thing could not be concealed if they wanted to, because those who were lucky enough to escape had already spread the news that the Tobuya army had been buried in the flood. That night, there was a panic in Wuzhou City, and the morale that was originally high was much lower because of this terrible news. That's tens of thousands of Da Liao warriors, who were killed by the Han people in two hours, who knows what other conspiracies and tricks the Han people have waiting for the Da Liao warriors?
After all, Yerusha is Yerusha, he quickly calmed down and calmed down, he knew that the Han people must still have a backhand, and he couldn't help tens of thousands of horses to lose their lives because of his wrong decision, but the 30,000 troops left in Wuzhou could no longer lose their lives for the same reason. The Han people will definitely attack the city, and now that the people in the city are panicked and their morale is low, the Han people will never let go of such a good opportunity.
Finding Su Kesha and Xun Ying, Yelusha said with a gloomy face, "The two generals can't be restrained, the city wall guards must not be relaxed, and in addition, the horses will be released for twenty miles." ”
"Huh" Su Kesha and Xun Ying respectfully saluted and retreated, although because of Yerusha's mistake, they buried the Tobuya army for nothing, but the two did not blame Yerusha, it was not wrong to send heavy troops to garrison the Gray River to prevent the Han people from flooding Wuzhou, but the mistake was to meet the more cunning Han people. What kind of person is that Zhao Yougong, the king of Jinling?
There was a lot of noise in the city of Wuzhou, all the Liao soldiers were nervous, the four gates of Wuzhou were guarded like iron buckets, and the residents in the city also closed their doors, and no one dared to come out if there was nothing to do, because many people had been put into prison by the city guards these days.
In the west of Wuzhou City, Yue Fei carried a shovel and walked into the camp with his head held high. This river digging worker is too cool, just digging and digging the river embankment to destroy tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, this time Yue Fei learned a lot, it turns out that leading troops to fight is sometimes not necessarily more heroic than who is more heroic, reasonable use of terrain, water and fire and other foreign objects, more effective than thousands of troops and horses.
Late at night, Zhao Yougong did not rest, accompanied by Mu Wanqing and Sanniang, sitting in the tent and waiting for Yue Fei to return. Xiao Zhiyun and Ah Zhu are really tired these days, Zhao Yougong can't bear to let them stay up all night, the army will be pulled out for a while, it is better to rest for a while, especially Ah Zhu, who is almost day and night in military affairs, and his little face that is already tired is vain.
Choked, and then there was a slightly immature laughter, the curtain was opened, and Yue Fei ran in with a red face, "Haha, Your Highness, you are really a god, those Khitan barbarians really ran from the east to Chenjiapo, and the crying father who was flooded by the last general called his mother."
Fortunately, Xiao Zhiyun is not here, otherwise if she hears the words Khitan barbarian, she will definitely hate Yue Fei, because Xiao Meiren is not only a Khitan barbarian, but also a Khitan barbarian with a lot of status. Zhao Yougong smiled slightly, "Yes, it's hard work, the army will start in a while, do you still have the experience to go with you?" ”
"Yes, yes, Yes, Your Highness, I was just digging a river to get on the road before. Just rest for a while. Don't want to leave the last general behind! ”
"Good. You go back and rest first, and in half an hour, go to Wuzhou City with the army! After waiting for Yue Fei to retreat, Zhao Yougong glanced at Sanniang and signaled, "Go and give the order, and the army will rush to Wuzhou City in a moment." ”
"Wow" Sanniang gave up, but in fact, she didn't need to go in person to give the order. Just tell the guards outside the tent. After the order was conveyed, Sanniang did not rush back to the tent, but walked aimlessly outside the big tent. It's the last day of April, maybe it's dawn, and you can stand at the head of Wuzhou City as Your Highness said.
Looking at the sky with only stars and no moonlight, Sanniang's face was complicated, and she looked a little more sad without powder, and in the corner where no one was around, she leaned on the corner of the tent. Reaching into his arms, there was a small porcelain vase. No one knew that the perfume in the porcelain bottle was already half gone. Whenever she returned to her quarters, she would apply a little bit when no one was around, and perhaps no one could appreciate the beauty and fragrance, but she was satisfied, and washed away the smell the next day. Sanniang didn't want to deceive herself, over the years, her heart has gradually increased the shadow of His Royal Highness, but she didn't dare to show it, first, she was afraid of losing that hatred, and second, she was unworthy, really unworthy. Seeing that His Royal Highness is becoming more and more excellent, he is handsome and extraordinary, and there are many women around him to help, what is she Hu Sanniang?
In terms of background, it can't compare to Zhu Niangzi and Princess Yelu, in terms of intelligence, it can't compare to Su Yingwen, Cui Niannu, and A Zhu, in terms of gentleness and grace, but it can't compare to Princess Yurou, and in terms of charm and charm, it can't compare to Pan Jinlian. Maybe Her Highness doesn't care so much, but what she cares, every time she stands with His Highness, she feels dirty.
On that Liangshan, her body became dirty, and even her soul was corroded, Song Jiang and Wang Ying, when they thought of these two people, they wanted to kill them, whenever they saw His Royal Highness's face, Wang Ying's lewd face would always appear. Occupy the three states of Fuzhong and seize Wuzhou City, His Royal Highness will do the heroic thing with his meager strength, he will only get higher and higher, even if he dies, he is still the hero that Hu Sanniang can't climb.
In the big tent, Mu Wanqing turned the wick, and seeing that Zhao Yougong's face was a little lazy, she smiled and said, "Thief, are you tired?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Lie down and rest for a while, there is still a little time before the time" Mu Wanqing sat back, straightened a jade leg, Zhao Yougong was not pretentious, lying on the plump jade leg of the beauty, his nose was full of elegant fragrance.
Wood Woman is a female devil who kills people without blinking, and there is no good or evil in her heart, she is hot and ruthless, but when she is good to a person, she is really good, she will be gentler than any woman. In her heart, the thief is the best person, and she can do anything for him, stroking the thief's slightly loose hair, and the wood woman is full of happy smiles.
The time soon came, with the help of Mu Wanqing and Sanniang, Zhao Yougong washed off the dirt, reorganized the silver armor, held a Qin Wang knife in his hand, removed the helmet and replaced it with a purple and gold crown, his posture was tall and extraordinary. Looking at it from afar, Zhao Yougong was agitated, purple and gold crown, can only the prince wear it? No, he Zhao Yougong can wear it if he wants to, maybe he will die in a battle today, maybe he will live, no matter what the result is, he wants the world to know the elegance of the prince of Chu, because this elegance should belong to him.
When the thirtieth son of April in the third year of Xuanhe, the Dingguo army rushed towards Wuzhou firmly, and at this time the undercurrent in Wuzhou City was also surging, there was a Zhuangzi in the north of Wuzhou City, the name was Soul Returning Village, in fact, it was the Yizhuang of later generations. The Soul Restoration Village is very large, very barren, before the Zhuangzi was occupied by beggars, but since a few days ago, after the corpses of thousands of Liao soldiers were stored in the Soul Returning Village, the beggars no longer dared to come, because the whole Soul Restoration Village was gloomy, and there were corpses, who was not afraid? There were a few brave ones who sneaked in to avoid the eyes of the Liao guards and wanted to eat some tribute, but they ran into ghosts, and no one dared to go to the Soul Village at night since the fight.
At the end of the hour, when the time came, a slight sound suddenly came from the dead soul village. It was a large morgue, with corpses close together, incense sticks burning, white lime sprinkled on the floor, and candles shining, looking eerie.
The Liao soldiers stationed in the Soul Returning Village had good ears, and when they heard the slightest noise, they pushed the door in, and at just one glance, their eyes widened, and their whole bodies trembled, their faces became miserable and pale, their mouths were half open, and they could only make a gurgling sound. Right before their eyes, a corpse that should have been dead for a long time moved, the black cloth propped up little by little, one right hand raised, then the left, and then the corpse slowly sat up, his face bloodstained and his eyes motionless.
Hula, a gust of south wind blew, the dwarf trees in the courtyard shook, the two Liao soldiers trembled, let out a terrible scream, turned around and ran away, but they didn't run two steps, they hit something, and before they looked up, they only felt a cold on their necks, and they were silent. Before they died, they saw a man in the armor of a Liao soldier, a burly man with a sneer. (To be continued......)
