Chapter 25 Success or Failure Turns Empty Seven
readx;
The rain has stopped!
Mai Zizhong found that the situation was getting worse and worse...... The Sui army did not regain his strength because of this short rest, but on the contrary, he became more and more exhausted. www.biquge.info Many people don't even have the strength to stand up, let alone hold their weapons, and then march back to Xuanhua to rest!
Even Mai Zizhong himself was sore all over, and he needed the support of his guards to stand up.
The horse lance, which used to be very handy, has also become extremely heavy at this time. He gritted his teeth and straddled the war horse, looking at the weak soldiers of the Sui army, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. If I had known that this would be the case, it would have been better to travel in the rain just now. If they hadn't stopped to rest, maybe the sons and daughters would have been lying in the Xuanhua military camp at this time, sleeping comfortably.
"Send someone to Xuanhua immediately, and order Tonghuan to send someone to respond."
Just now, because of the relaxation, Mai Zizhong did not send someone to Xuanhua to inform.
But now it seems that it will not work without sending people...... With the current state of the children's spirit, if there is any accident, they can't resist at all.
Mistakes, what mistakes!
Mai Zizhong secretly blamed himself in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to make a look of good spirits and encourage the sergeants to move on.
In half an hour, the team had advanced less than ten miles.
The rapid march made Mai Zizhong's mood begin to become agitated.
Fortunately, he was able to restrain his temper. In such a situation, in the final analysis, he also has a lot of responsibility.
Therefore, Mai Zizhong then suppressed the anger and kept urging the soldiers and horses to march.
is getting closer and closer to Xuanhua, but there is a sudden ominous omen in my heart. What is the reason? Mai Zizhong couldn't say clearly, maybe he was too suspicious...... "My lord, it's not good!" Suddenly, the scout flew and reported: "Five miles ahead, there are soldiers and horses blocking the road, and the identity is not yet clear." ”
Mai Zizhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Can you see the flag?" ”
"I haven't seen the other party's flag!"
That's not a Tonghuan person...... If Tong Huan brings someone over, he will definitely play a flag to show his identity.
Mai Zizhong hurriedly urged the horse forward, and asked as he walked, "Then how many people are on the other side?" Can you see clearly, what kind of outfit is it? ”
"It was too dark to see the number of people.
But judging from the outfit, it looks like a slang. ”
"Slang?"
Mai Zizhong suddenly reined in his horse and his eyes widened.
How can a slang person get in the way of the road? By the way, the eldest brother said that there are black slang haunts around Yongzhou, could it be ...... He gasped and hissed: "The enemy is attacking, and the whole army is in formation, ready to fight." ”
For a while, there was a sudden chaos in the Sui army.
Many soldiers of the Sui army failed to react, but instinctively stopped.
Mai Zizhong didn't dare to hesitate, one after another military orders were issued, he rushed to a mound with his personal guards, put up a pergola in his hands, and looked into the distance.
In the darkness, there were bursts of footsteps in the distance.
From time to time, there was the sound of horses neighing...... There were about three or four thousand people. However, from the messy footsteps, it can be inferred that this is not a well-trained soldier. Think about it, black slang is a rabble, although Luo Dou is old, he only knows a little about the art of war.
If the black slang was really so powerful, maybe Ning Changzhen would have been killed a long time ago, how could he be so miserablely oppressed?
Although Li Yanqing has clever means, he is not an immortal after all, and he does not have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers!
Thinking of this, Mai Zizhong's slightly nervous mood also relaxed. If the comer is well-trained, he will meet the enemy in a state of exhaustion, and the whole army will be destroyed. But...... Although there are many black slangs, if they want to fight with well-trained soldiers like themselves, they may not be able to bargain! This is also Mai Zizhong's self-confidence.
"Ignition!"
Footsteps are getting closer.
Mai Zizhong can even see the shadowy figure.
He was just about to give the order, but the other party suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately after, one torch after another suddenly lit up in the dark night, about one or two thousand. Countless torches gathered together like a sea of fire. Under the firelight, slang soldiers dressed in ragged clothes, short in stature, and armed with weapons, appeared in Mai Zizhong's sight.
"Command, light the torch."
The other party did not attack immediately, but was a mile away and suddenly stopped.
This is clearly going to fight with yourself!
Mai Zizhong said in his heart: A group of barbarians, is it possible that I am still afraid of you?
He also ordered the soldiers and horses to light the torches, but he felt a little strange in his heart: these slang people gathered here, why didn't there be any movement on the Xuanhua side?
Also, the people sent to Xuanhua have been walking for more than half an hour, even if it is slow, there should be some measures.
But so far, the direction of Xuanhua has been silent.
The archers lined up in front of the formation, and the arrows shimmered faintly in the firelight.
Then came the spearmen, the platoon pullers...... Two groups of cavalry, about a hundred or so, lingered on either side of the formation. Mai Zizhong sat firmly on the saddle bridge, and the horse lance pointed forward, "Call to me, let them identify themselves, and immediately get out of the way."
If you don't listen to the order, immediately release the arrow, and kill it! ”
The strong order was passed down, and immediately dozens of sergeants rushed out of the formation.
Although Mai Zizhong is in Yongzhou, although he is quite concerned about the people, he is extremely tough on the issue of race.
The sergeants shouted loudly, but there was no movement.
Instead of answering, he advanced about a hundred meters or so.
Although it was a rabble, thousands of people pushed forward the action, and there was still a huge sense of oppression.
Mai Zizhong shouted: "Stop ahead, move forward, and kill." ”
Before the sergeants who were shouting could speak, the other party suddenly twitched. The formation spread out to both sides, and from the rear came a group of men, women and children. Looking at the number of people, there were about seven or eight hundred people, and they stood behind the slang platooners, and then stopped.
"Xiao Jiu, it's me!"
"Dog leftovers, don't let the arrows ......"
The sergeant of the Sui army was stunned for a moment.
"Daddy!"
Someone shouted loudly, which immediately caused a series of twitching in the military formation.
Mai Zizhong was also stunned!
I thought there was going to be a real fight, but I didn't expect it to be such a situation.
"Who are those?"
Without waiting for the people around him to answer, the group of men, women, and children began to shout again: "Son, Xuanhua has been lost...... The soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court have already recovered the county seat. I heard that hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered in the river, and they will open this side at any time. The imperial court didn't want Yongzhou to be stained with blood, so it sent the king of Henan to come...... Son, surrender! The king of Henan said, do not move the people to the slightest. What you have said in the past, you will live better in the future......"
"Husband, my father's illness has been cured!
The king of Henan asked the doctors in the city to treat us without charging half a penny. ”
"Brother, the king of Henan said that the imperial court has issued an edict and will not accept conscription for three years...... As long as you put down your weapons and come over, you can go home. ”
A word from you, a word from me, this left water ridge, into a mess.
The soldiers of the Sui army were also dizzy, seeing their relatives standing opposite, they didn't know what to do.
Xuanhua, lost?
Mai Zizhong couldn't help but grow his mouth, looking at the scene in front of him, his head buzzed.
Finished...... This Li Yanqing actually played such a hand.
The hearts of men are scattered...... How will this battle continue?
