Chapter 10: You Are Mine
The dust was rolling, covering the sky, and everyone was sweating profusely, but the steps under their feet were not chaotic, except for the occasional command to adjust the formation, there was not a single murmur. A few days of training, although short, but the results were good. Happy was very satisfied, and walked at the front of the team calmly, and his chic posture made all the soldiers admire and feel ashamed at the same time. γ
Happy did not choose the official road, but chose some sparsely populated paths to reduce the danger of being exposed. At the same time, he constantly sent men to reconnoiter the environment five miles away.
This time, except for two regiments that could be used as soldiers and 500 horses, Xing was not equipped with logistics troops and did not have baggage. All the soldiers carried only five days' rations and a little water, and they were lightly armed and carried out long-distance training to survive in the wilderness.
On the evening of the 25th, Gao Gao led the team into a forest fifty miles away from Shiliang City to rest. Although the mosquitoes in the woods were so rampant that they shuddered, the crowd resolutely obeyed the glad order, despite their reluctance.
After arranging for the soldiers to be on guard and rest, Happy took a row of men and rode horses straight to Shiliang City.
Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.
April 26, outside Shiliang City.
The 40,000 Qi army and the 30,000 Chen* army confronted each other from each other, waving flags and waving them together, and the dull atmosphere of slaughter shrouded the sky over the entire Shiliang City, as if to solidify this sky, and the depressing atmosphere made people breathe a little hard.
"Dongwu Xiao'er, An dares to repeatedly violate the border of Daqi, and those who know each other will quickly retreat, so as not to be in a different place!" A gruff voice rang out.
At the head of the Qi army, a general wearing gorgeous armor rode to the front of the formation, and looked proudly at the ** with a solemn appearance not far away.
"Haha......" A general walked out of the Chen* army formation, his beard was white, but his face was full of red light, his momentum was calm, his body sitting on horseback was straight, his face was serious, and he was not angry and arrogant. He laughed for a while, and then continued:
"Wei Pohu, Gao Wei'er is perverse, angry and resentful, and he should be punished! Besides, this Jianghuai region is the territory of my Chen State, and you are despicable and shameless, taking advantage of the weakness to capture it, and now it is said that it will be recovered! "Its sound is like a bronze bell Da Lu, spreading far away, full of energy.
"Bah! Wu Mingche, Hugh wants to make a big deal of nonsense here, and see how General Ben defeats you today, and takes the dog's head! The chief general of the Qi army, Wei Pohu, shouted loudly and beat his horse and turned back into the formation.
"Joke! Wei Pohu, today I will make you hate the battlefield, and use your head to pay tribute to the prestige of our army! Wu Mingche scolded back and also walked into the formation.
"General, the Dongwu army has been attacking the city all the way, and the fighting spirit is high, and our army is tired from afar, so we should have a long-term strategy to restrain it. Or defend the city and then find an opportunity to counterattack, no matter what, you really shouldn't easily fight the enemy head-on on the battlefield! A middle-aged general with a handsome and mighty face frowned slightly, and earnestly persuaded Wei Pohu, who had returned to the formation.
"Wang Lin, could it be that you were afraid of the battle because you were once defeated by the hands of Eastern Wu? There are 40,000 people in my Great Qi Division, and there are invincible pioneers such as 'Vigor' here, and there are only 30,000 Dongwu rabble, what is there to fear? You must not say more here, or you will be convicted of disturbing the morale of the army! Wei Pohu glared at Wang Lin who was admonishing with dissatisfaction, and looked at ** with disdain, as if he was winning, and his tone was unquestionable.
Wang Lin wanted to say something, but was stopped by another general beside him.
"Where's the herald?" Wei Pohu shouted loudly.
"In!"
"Beat the drums, and the Destiny Bone Diagram will lead a strong team to meet the enemy!"
The dull and loud cowhide drum "dong dong" sounded, and the ground trembled. Wei Pohu drew the sword from his waist at the right time and raised it above his head, and all the Qi soldiers shouted loudly, "Victory, victory, kill, kill, kill!" β
A man nearly two meters tall, with a big waist and a beard on his face, stepped out of the formation. He wore only a single coat, and the muscles on his exposed arms were knotted, and the green tendons were twisted and coiled like small snakes. He made a bow of birch bark, with bones at both ends, and a pot of feathered arrows made of fine iron hanging from his waist, and with his head held slightly high, he strode to the front of the battle, with a look of arrogance and disdain.
Behind him, more than a dozen warriors eight feet tall, with excellent arm strength, dressed in leather armor, and holding steel swords, rushed out. These people showed a fierce look on their faces, and in the face of the 30,000 slaughtered Chen * army, they were not afraid at all and launched a charge.
There are some Hu people in the Western Regions in the strong team, each of whom is good at archery, and Gutu is the best among them, and the arrows are not missing. The strong team was extremely sharp, and the vanguard of the ** battle was soon killed by dozens of people by the Qi army, and for a while, the Qi army was like a rainbow and unstoppable. **The morale that was originally high was instantly lowered a lot, and the faces of the soldiers showed a look of horror.
Wu Mingche's eyes froze, and he looked at a middle-aged general beside him and said: "Yuan Yin, your talent is no less than Guan Yu Zhang Fei, if you can kill the Hu people who are good at shooting, the morale of the Qi army will inevitably drop greatly, and our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and a big victory can be expected!" β
"Just tell me what that Hu man looks like, and the last general will definitely be able to take his head for the general!" The general named Yuan Yin replied loudly.
Wu Mingche found a soldier who had surrendered from the Qi army and asked about the appearance of the bone map. After Wu Mingche sent someone to find out that the Nahu people were in the strong team, he took the wine and drank a glass with the general named Yuan Yin. The general drank and galloped out of the battle, single-handedly charging straight at the Qi * army.
Gu Tu saw that a general was coming, and when he saw that Hunting was happy, he came to the front of the team with a roar, stretched his bow and arrows, and was about to shoot, but he didn't want a dart with a terrible whistling sound, and it pierced through his forehead before he could react. Gu Tu's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground in disbelief, dying of gas.
When Gu Tu died, the warriors of the strong team were not only not afraid, but fiercely surrounded the general, but did not want to be killed by that person one by one. The Northern Qi sergeants were terrified for a while, and their morale plummeted.
"Kill!"
Wu Mingche gave the order to launch a charge of the whole army at the right time, and the two armies soon exchanged short arms. The shouting and killing sound rolled like thunder, rushing straight into the sky, and the murderous aura that rushed to the sky seemed to disperse the heavy dark clouds a little. The ground was soaked with blood, and the smell of fishy and pungent could be smelled even in Shiliang City, which was miles away.
The army is engaged in large-scale fierce battles, and the competition is morale. The morale of Chen's army was like a rainbow, his morale was high, and he was advancing with great enthusiasm, while the Qi army, whose morale was low, showed a decline in a short time and kept retreating.
Looking at the soldiers around him who kept falling and retreating, Wei Pohu's face became more and more ugly, the momentum that looked at the world before was long gone, he kept roaring and ordered the soldiers to rush up, but he gradually retreated.
Seeing that the army was about to be defeated, Wei Pohu gave the order to retreat very "decisively and wisely", and then ran away first.
Most of the Qi army was entangled with Chen's army, and the chaotic and noisy scene could not hear the order at all, and only a small part of the rear army followed Wei Pohu and turned his head and ran. Wang Lin and the other general shouted hoarsely, but to no avail.
"Wei Pohu has fled, and the Qi * army has been defeated!" Seeing the Qi army commander fleeing, Wu Mingche led Chen *jun to shout loudly.
The so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the Qi * army was instantly defeated, and it could no longer play the slightest role in stopping Chen's army. Chen's army followed in pursuit, crushing Qi's army like a massacre.
Qi * army lost his armor all the way, panicked, walked every way, and crossed the bridge when he saw it. Wei Pohu led the remnants of the defeated army and ran forty miles in one breath and crossed a pontoon bridge, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to reorganize the army, but he heard Chen *jun's shouting from the rear, "Hugh is going to leave Wei Pohu, capture Wei Pohu alive, and the reward will be 10,000 taels!" Kill! β
Wei Pohu was even more frightened in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Wang Lin, the eldest grandson Hongluo, I will be with you 10,000 soldiers, and you will definitely swear to stop the enemy to the death!" After speaking, Wei Pohu didn't stop anymore, hit the horse and fled, that eager look, it seemed that he wanted his father and mother to have two more legs.
"General, the men and horses of our army have crossed the bridge, and Chen's army is in hot pursuit."
After a dirt slope a few hundred meters away from the pontoon, Happy sat on his horse, squinted lightly at the crowd running densely on the pontoon bridge in the distance, and licked his lips excitedly.
"Return to Captain Shang and act according to the plan!" Happy and said in a deep voice.
The messenger received the order and quickly spurred his horse and ran diagonally behind.
When all the Qi * troops crossed the pontoon bridge, Xing suddenly fell down, shook the reins in his hands, and knocked his feet on the horse's belly. The horses neighed, and the joy rushed out like arrows from the string.
"Phew!" Happy galloping to more than 100 meters in front of the pontoon bridge, a loud shout, like thunder on the ground, deafening. I had just crossed the pontoon bridge for nearly a thousand years, and I was so shocked that I stopped.
"Who are you?" A tall, mighty general stepped out of the crowd and asked in a deep voice.
"I am glad, who are you?" Happy asked loudly.
"This general Xiao Maha, Xiao Yuanyin is also. Little doll, get out of the way, General Ben will spare you from death! β
Happy didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "You are Xiao Maha?" I heard that you are brave and brave, and you are the best of the three armies, but now it seems that it is better to be famous than to meet! Now I say, the head on your head is mine! β
Xiao Maha was furious and scolded: "Oh, nipple child, dare to despise me? Look for death! So saying, the pleura and the horse rushed to the delight, the darts in their hands tightly clasped, ready to fire.
"Drinkβ" When he lifted the reins of the horse, the horse was in pain, and the man stood up, his eyes widened with rage, and he roared like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Several nearby soldiers were killed instantly. The horse under Xiao Maha was even worse, and he was frightened by this, and he fell to the ground under his hooves, foaming at the mouth and dying on the spot. And the unprepared Xiao Maha was directly knocked off the horse and fell into disgrace.
Xiao Maha was about to get up from the ground, but he felt a chill on his neck, and his movements couldn't help but stiffen. Xiao Maha raised his eyes and saw that he had abandoned his horse at some point, standing in front of him with a playful face, and the long sword in his hand was on his neck. The cold blade was full of a piercing murderous aura, which made Xiao Maha, who was dizzy by the happy roar, sober up a lot, and didn't dare to act rashly.
"Kill!" At this moment, the shouting of killing came from the sky, and Xiao Maha followed the prestige, and his face changed drastically at this look.
I saw that three miles away, the dust was flying, covering the sky, and it was faintly visible that the number of cavalry in red military uniforms was rushing towards this place at a rapid pace.
"The Lord will be captured, and if you don't come down now, when?" Happy grabbed the acupuncture points on Xiao Maha's waist, exhaled and opened his voice, and directly lifted it high above the top, shaking it up and down.
More than 1,000 people who crossed the bridge were dizzy and dizzy by the happy roar, and their blood was rolling, and at this time, the reinforcements of the Qi * army were coming, and the main general was captured alive, and they couldn't help but be frightened, and the people in front of them directly abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground, trembling.
The ** who had not yet crossed the bridge was shocked and couldn't help but stop. After a fierce battle, and then chased dozens of miles with enthusiasm, they were physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, seeing that the reinforcements of the Qi army were coming, they couldn't help but be a little frightened.
"Kill-" Wang Lin and the eldest grandson Hongluo led the broken Qi army to come back to kill, but the Chen * army didn't dare to stay anymore, turned around and ran, and for a while people shouted horses and neighed, and the chaos was very great. In the blink of an eye, the 20,000 Chen* soldiers who were chasing after leaving behind nearly a thousand prisoners and nearly a thousand corpses that died due to trampling fled without a trace.
