Chapter 63: Aguche in the middle of the ambush
Outside the royal city, above the valley, Guan Qing and Guan Hua led 5,000 people to ambush here, Guan Qing held a long sword, sat on a large bluestone, and looked at the bottom of the valley with his eyes, like a fierce beast in the mountain, waiting for the prey to come to the door.
After the big bluestone, Guan Hua put the big knife flat on the ground, the person lay on the ground, knocked on Erlang's leg, picked a flower on the ground with his mouth in his mouth, and asked unhurriedly: "Second brother, are you tired, lie down and rest."
"You rest, I'm going to stare at" Rubbing his red and slightly swollen eyes, Guan Qing said: "The lord withdrew his army yesterday, this royal city should have sent troops to chase and kill, why hasn't there been any movement until now."
Since yesterday afternoon, Guan Qing and Guan Hua have stayed here and stared, thinking that there will be a battle before dark, but they didn't expect that this wait would be overnight; Even an iron body can't withstand such torture; Guan Hua said solemnly: "Second brother, what I told you last night, how did you think about it?" ”
Guan Qing sighed, wondering: "Big brother, the lord treats us well, and he can't bear to rebel?" The most important thing in life is the word loyalty, and now the lord is in crisis, and it is the time to employ people, if we leave him now."
Before Guan Qing finished speaking, Guan Hua interrupted: "It is precisely because he is in danger that he is unable to protect himself that we have to stay away from him; As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, and even animals know to find a better nest for themselves, are you not as good as animals? ”
"You" Guan Qing had nothing to say, and hung his head and stopped talking. In fact, Guan Hua was right, Guan Qing thought about it all night, but he didn't make up his mind until now; On the one hand, loyalty, on the other hand, is his own life, whether to follow Wang Xu to die to be fully loyal, or to obey the prince to save his life; Guan Qing is undoubtedly facing a huge test.
"Think about it yourself, he has become a thief now, not to mention the imperial army behind Lan Guan, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Guxi County, is there any chance of him winning? Is loyalty or life important? If you lose your life, what's the use of being faithful? "Although Guan Hua is usually a little stupid, what he says at this time is all logical and exciting; Guan Qing's heart has begun to slowly waver; The change in his heart may not even be known to him.
"Look, General," said one of the soldiers, pointing out beyond the valley.
Following the soldier's hand and looking out of the valley, he saw the black war horses that covered the sky and the sun swept towards the valley like dark clouds; The horse's hooves are churning, the long mane is flying, and the scene of ten thousand horses galloping suddenly shocked everyone in the valley. Guan Qingqiang calmed down and ordered: "Order, as soon as the enemy enters the valley, shoot me with bows and arrows, and throw stones down the mountain if you don't have bows and arrows, and don't let go of an enemy."
At the bottom of the valley, one of Aguche's lieutenants suddenly reined in his horse: "General, slow down, there are ambushes in this valley." "Neigh" Aguche pulled the horse hard, and the cavalry stopped behind him. The adjutant general pointed to the top of the valley and said, "General, please see, the silence in this valley is terrible, and birds dare not stay when they fly over, there must be ambushes." Aguche looked closely, and the situation was the same as the adjutant general said; But when he thought that the enemy army on the other side of the valley was fleeing, it would be a pity to withdraw at this time; Aguche turned his heart and shouted: "Brothers, follow my banner and pass through the valley quickly, as soon as you leave the valley, our war horses can gallop across the valley." "Kill the will go out," Aguche shouted, and ran towards the valley with his horse's belly; The adjutant general knew that there was an ambush in the valley, but the military order was like a mountain, and he couldn't help himself at this time, so he rushed forward with a whip. "Killing" 20,000 war horses flowed into the valley like a tide, and the sound of horses' hooves, shouts of killing, and the neighing of war horses were intertwined and resounded throughout the valley.
The speed of the cavalry was incomparable with that of the infantry, and in just an instant, 20,000 elite cavalry penetrated more than 500 meters into the valley and had entered the place where Guan Qing ambushed the soldiers. Guan Qing was also well aware of the speed of the cavalry, so the five thousand ambush soldiers were not set up in one place, and there were thousands of soldiers lying in ambush every hundred meters along the valley; Prevent the enemy from rushing out of the valley with the help of their horses. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Suddenly, eagle feathers burst through the air from above the valley, and the lieutenant was shot to the ground on the spot, and the horse was frightened and galloped forward; Thousands of arrows flew down at the same time, and the 20,000 cavalry killed hundreds in just one round.
"Puff Puff"
"Ahhh For a while, there were screams under the valley, and the war horses also let out a mournful roar from time to time.
The weapon made by Aguche is a three-pointed two-edged knife, this kind of knife is very peculiar, the tip of the knife is divided into three branches, it is in the shape of a mountain, the middle branch is slightly higher like a sword, the two wing branches are slightly lower, the blade is open on both sides, it is extremely sharp, there is a triangular iron iron iron at the back end of the handle, the blade is eight feet eight inches long, and it is more than two meters long. If Aguche swung the knife with all his might, five meters around his body would be his attack range; In the face of the overwhelming array of arrow feathers, Aguche was not afraid at all, and swung his three-pointed two-edged knife vigorously, and all the flying arrow feathers were instantly split away.
"Brothers, don't mess around, don't retreat at this time, go out with me," Aguche shouted, and rushed forward first; The soldiers behind him had just been shot by the ambush, although the formation was a little chaotic, but on the whole it was not a big problem, and the speed was still unabated. The cavalry that had caught up from behind with "Boom" was attacked by the second wave of arrows, and Aguche, who was at the forefront, had already entered the second ambush site set by Guan Qing, 'Falling Stone Attack'. Of the 5,000 ambushers, only 2,000 were armed with bows and arrows, and the rest had to lift stones and throw them down; Although the momentum of the falling rocks was strong, its lethality was not strong, and it took a burst of bombardment to kill three hundred cavalry, but hundreds of boulders blocked the official road in the valley to make it more difficult for the later cavalry to pass; The people who were smashed turned on their backs, their heads broken and bleeding.
"Yes, just smash it like this" Guan Qing stood above the valley, looking extremely excited, shouting loudly. (Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, friends who have tickets give me the ticket head, thank you; It's not easy for newcomers, ask for a lot of support)
