Chapter 120: Night Battle
The sun rises in the east, and under the warm sun, thousands of cavalry are speeding on the Youyan Plain.
The big banner embroidered with the word "Gongsun" is waving in the wind like a wave. Under the banner, a young man dressed in white like snow, bathed in the morning light, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of faint light, like a fairy like a god, and people felt admiration spontaneously.
Shuofeng hunting, Tai Shici, who was sitting on the dark clouds and stepping on the snow, withdrew his eyes full of admiration for Gongsun Bai, subconsciously tightened his clothes and armor, and pulled the wind towel wrapped in his face up, but his face was full of excitement and pride.
In this cold winter day, he actually found the feeling of the spring breeze being proud. Not only was he the new captain of Moyun Cavalry, but he was also given a good horse by the lord who was one in a hundred miles and traveled thousands of miles a day, how could he not be excited and excited.
A military general has three lives: horses, armor and weapons, especially the horse, which is not only a sharp weapon for charging into battle, but also the lifeblood of retreating to save his life.
At this moment, how glad he was to meet Gongsun Bai that day, and to get this virtuous lord, what more could the husband ask for?
He turned his gaze to Guan Hai beside him, and smiled slightly: "Old Hei, don't be discouraged, next time there is a good horse, Tinghou will definitely give you a horse, and the one you ride under your crotch is also a good horse of more than eight feet, which is more than enough for you." ”
Guan Hai rolled his eyes: "Do you know why Tinghou rode a snow eagle of more than eight feet, but gave you a horse to step on the snow?" That's because Tinghou dislikes this horse is too ugly, black and not slippery, and it is just right for you to be ugly. ”
Tai Shi Ci laughed and said: "Actually, Tinghou should have given it to you, a dark horse with a black man, if you attack at night, you may not be able to find you when you rush in front of the enemy general." ”
The two fought for a while, and Tai Shi Ci asked: "Five thousand cavalry went to attack the city of 20,000 defenders, Tai Shi Ci is still the first time to see it, I heard that the Tinghou immortal art is mysterious and unpredictable, and can instantly conjure up siege ladders and wells, have you ever seen it?" ”
This question, even Liu Zheng next to him was attracted to it. looked at Guan Hai with anticipation, after all, the chariot that Gongsun Bai Pingbai conjured up that day shocked him too much.
Guan Hai snorted coldly: "What are the cloud ladders and wells, the pavilion can still be a living person." ”
The two of them were shocked: "Huh? ”
Guan Hai said leisurely: "Conjure up an ugly monster and snatched my dark clouds and snow." ”
Burst!
Liu Zheng couldn't help grinning, but Tai Shici was full of black lines.
It's really unseemly. This black and ugly guy is so bad when he speaks, although Tai Shici is not as handsome and chic as Gongsun Bai, he is also a dignified and heroic guy, and he has become ugly in this guy's mouth.
……
As the sun passed, the army had approached twenty miles away from the city. Gongsun Bai, who was at the head of the queue, suddenly stopped with a dragon spear in his hand, and then the handsome flag danced, and the military orders were passed down layer by layer along with the banner.
Camp in place and rest!
Seeing that there were still more than two hours before dark, it was only half a day's journey, and they were actually called to camp and rest, although the soldiers were puzzled, they had to follow the order.
"Why do you rest just after the end of the day?" Someone asked.
"The plan of the military advisor is to rest on the spot immediately and eat at the end of the day. Rush to the city at dusk, and attack the city tonight, there must be no mistake! The herald replied.
For Guo Jia, the soldiers were completely dismissive at first, this prodigal not only eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has no scruples, but also maverick, frivolous and flamboyant, but also weak and powerless, many people think that if it weren't for Gongsun Bai to use immortal magic to treat him and continue his life. I'm afraid he has already returned to the underworld.
However, after several battles, Guo Jia, who has repeatedly made strange plans, has already convinced all the soldiers and soldiers, and his status in the army is already on an equal footing with Zhao Yun. Hearing this unconscionable move was a ploy of the military advisor. On the contrary, everyone felt at ease, and if they did something extraordinary, they would have an extraordinary plan, and an extraordinary plan could reduce the attrition of the battle. No matter how fierce a warrior is to die, he also hopes to win the battle without sacrificing.
In general, due to Guo Jia's ingenuity, the top equipment in this era, Gongsun Bai's life healing skills, and the strong fighting qualities of the warriors themselves. These two cavalry have created a unique miracle in this era, in the past two years, large and small battles, the reduction of no more than 100 people, of which the White Horse Yicong attrition is less than 10 people, this data is almost comparable to the United States to fight Iraq.
……
As the sun set, the slanting sun lazily sprinkled on the Junmi city, and the Xianbei soldiers at the head of the city lazily rose to a lazy waist, looking at the remnant sun that gradually fell to the west mountain, and took a long breath.
Three days ago, they were ordered by the king of Xianbei to enter the city and hold on, and the gates of the city were closed and they were not allowed to leave the city. However, three days passed, and they didn't even see the shadow of half of the Han army.
Thundered!
At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded from the sky, and the guards at the head of the city looked suspiciously towards the sky, only to see a cloud emerging from the sky, white as snow.
The white cloud grew thicker and thicker, and then a black cloud surged out of it, and then it ran closer, and gradually it became clear that it was a thousand horses galloping.
"White Horse Righteous Servant, White Horse Righteous Servant!" Someone shouted.
The panic quickly spread at the head of the city, some of the defenders on the city tower took their bows and arrows and went to the battlements, some people raised their spears in a panic and waited for them, some people even picked up the rolling logs, and some people immediately ran down the city tower to report to the main general in the city.
The commander in charge of guarding the city saw that the pot exploded in the corridor, and his heart became messy, and it took him a long time to react, and he said angrily: "What are you panicking about, the Han army is all cavalry, can you still fly up?" Besides, we waited for more than 20,000 defenders, and he seemed to be only a few thousand men, so why should we be afraid of them? ”
Just when the Xianbei people gradually settled down, the main general in the city, the lord of the Murong Xianbei tribe, Mo Huba, was already surrounded by a group of generals and hurriedly came.
Mo Hu rushed to the middle of the city tower, held the battlement and looked down, only to see the Han army under the city tower black and white, about 5,000 people, the array is strict, murderous in the sky, is looking up at the city tower violently, can't help but feel a chill.
"My lord, there are only 5,000 Han troops downstairs in the city, and there are more than 20,000 Xianbei troops in our city, why don't you go out of the city to fight?" A commander looked at the Han army downstairs and was eager to try.
When Mo Huba heard this, he immediately scolded angrily: "Ridiculous, these Han troops are the elite of the elite, Lord Ben just received a report from Tanma, the Han army Baimayi was no more than 2,000 people, defeated Agu Mulang's 8,000 elite cavalry, killed more than 3,000 people, the warrior Uliji on the grassland was killed, Agu Mulang was captured, and the Han army had almost no casualties. Although we have 20,000 elite soldiers in the city, the king is about to lead the army to come, why do I want to fight with the Han people? 20,000 against 5,000, even if the Han people are all beaten with iron, they will be stepped on as powder, but if my Murong Xianbei tribe suffers heavy losses because of this, how can I compete with the Que Ju and other tribes in the future? ”
To put it bluntly, the Xianbei headquarters is not monolithic, the powerful tribes occupy the fertile land of water and grass, and the weak tribes can only retreat to the barren land, and no one wants to let their strength be too damaged.
After the sun gradually sets over the western mountains, only the last trace of afterglow remains. In the bright red glow, a young general with a height of nine feet, white robe and silver armor, and a nine-foot-tall horse rode straight to the city.
The general stopped twenty steps below the city tower, and pointed at the city tower with a silver gun in his hand: "The Han Dynasty guards Wuhuan Zhonglang General, Guangning Tinghou, and the captain of Baima Yicong under the command of Gongsun Taishou of Beiping County, Changshan Zhao Zilong, is here, waiting for Yidi, dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”
The roar was like thunder, and the gods were majestic, shaking everyone in Xianbei on the city tower, but no one dared to answer.
Zhao Yun shouted three times in a row, and finally a commander couldn't hold back anymore and resolutely asked for battle, and Mo Hubao had no choice but to order the door to open the door for him to fight.
Knock knock!
The drums of war rose to the sky, and the shouts of the towers were like thunder, and the two men galloped towards each other.
The horse was like a dragon, the gun was like lightning, the two exchanged horses in an instant, and the two horses neighed and galloped to a dozen paces away before stopping.
Thump!
The commander did not wait for the horse under his crotch to stop, and fell from his horse to the ground with a bang.
Zhao Yun slowly turned the horse's head, the spear was raised high, and the blood on the blade was as red as fire under the light of that afterglow.
Ho ho ho ho!
The roar of the Han army under the city tower was like thunder, stirring the sky.
The Xianbei army on the city tower instantly became silent, and the Xianbei tribe lord Mo Hubao was even more colorless, and he shouted in a deep voice for a long time: "Hold the head of the city, before the king's army arrives, you must not face the battle!" ”
……
Woo woo woo~
Knock knock~
The night is dark, but the fire is bright under the handsome city, the sound of trumpets is endless, and the sound of war drums resounds through the sky, so that the Xianbei people on the city tower are like facing a great enemy, and they are ready for battle.
On the battlements, bows and arrows are numerous; Above the stairs, piles of wood and rolling stones; Not only were the city towers crowded with Xianbei soldiers, but even the streets below the city towers were full of people.
However, as time passed, the Xianbei people gradually discovered that the Han people only thundered and did not rain, and the sound of horns, war drums and shouts of killing continued, but they did not even move.
Time passed little by little, seeing that the second watch had passed, the tense strings of the Xianbei soldiers on the city tower finally relaxed, and a thousand commanders suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to Mo Huba: "My lord, the Han people are simply bluffing, he came in a hurry, and he didn't bring siege equipment at all, how to attack the city?" It would take at least two days to make siege equipment such as ladders, and I guess it would be a tiring tactic. ”
Mo Hubao suddenly came to his senses as if he had been empowered, and was about to speak, but he heard another Xianbei general say in a loud voice: "My lord, please take a closer look, the Han army is just a small half of the people shouting in front of them, and most of the people behind them are sitting on the ground to rest." ”
Mo Hubao no longer hesitated, and said in a deep voice: "Leave a thousand people to guard the city, and the rest can go to rest, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the Han people can fly up with wings." ”
As soon as the words fell, a burst of cheers immediately sounded on the city tower, and most of the military horses, which were originally crowded up and down with five or six thousand people, immediately dispersed.
Mo Hubao was still not at ease, and insisted on guarding until the third watch, and as soon as he arrived at the third watch, the sound under the city tower gradually stopped, and finally it was silent.
Mo Hubao looked at the city viciously, and said coldly: "A group of fools, there is a kind of trouble for a night. I'm tired, I'll go out of the city tomorrow and kill you! ”
Several soldiers beside him laughed, hugged Mo Huba, turned around and left the city tower, and ran to the city to rest. (To be continued.) )
