Chapter 44: Command: Look at the scenery
"Let's do it as soon as possible!" Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth and said.
Bai Qi nodded, leaned closer to Wei Changfeng's side, and said in a low voice: "Centurion Wei, I want to ask you to command on my behalf!" ”
"What?!" Wei Changfeng almost jumped up from the horse in shock, "General Bai Shen, you ......"
"You have this ability, better than me!" Bai Qi cut off Wei Changfeng's words.
"No way!" Wei Changfeng replied very resolutely this time, "General Bai Shen, the last general will follow you and give advice from time to time, but the commander, you still have to come!" ”
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Then, if the situation is urgent, it is too late to elaborate and you have a wonderful time, you may take over the command?" ”
Wei Changfeng hesitated for a moment.
Bai Qi really wanted to let himself command, if it really came to a critical juncture, when it was too late to discuss it in detail, should he take over the command? Morally speaking, this is the right thing, no matter who commands, the ultimate goal is to defeat the enemy and save himself, but in terms of military rank, he is only a centurion, where does he have the right to command an army of three thousand men? Even if it's a white authorization to yourself, it's a bit excessive.
Seeing that Wei Changfeng did not answer, Bai Qi was about to persuade again, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a herald had already come to the front and said to Bai Qi: "General Bai, according to the military order, order your troops to speed up their advance, reach Jianchang, and strictly defend the city defense!" ”
Bai Qi's face sank for a moment, and he nodded: "Order!" He then ordered the whole team to speed up and move forward from the main force.
Wei Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he didn't have to face Bai Qi's difficult question, because it was obvious that they were no longer regarded as the main attack force.
Since the Donghu army wants to pass in front of Jianchang City, of course Jianchang must have soldiers to defend, although the interest of the Donghu army should not be in Jianchang, but the matter of fighting cannot be taken for granted, in any case, Jianchang still has to defend, of course, this is just in case, so there is no need for a large team of elite soldiers to defend, and Bai Qi's department has only fought a battle in Xingcheng before, the soldiers are tired, and the newly replenished soldiers have not had time to train well, so it is reasonable to let Bai Qi's department defend Jianchang, but for Bai Qi, it is naturally not very happy, However, once the military order is issued, it must be carried out even if it is happy, and it must be carried out even if it is not happy. Since he was guarding the scenery in Jianchang, it was unlikely that there would be an emergency and Wei Changfeng would need to take over the command, so Bai Qi would no longer mention Wei Changfeng taking over the command.
The 3,000 Han army, separated from the large army, moved forward with all its might. Since there is no need to undertake the main attack task, there is no need to protect the physical strength of the soldiers too much, when they arrive in Jianchang, they can naturally rest, if there is no accident, the whole battle, these three thousand people are basically resting, so Bai Qi doesn't care much about the soldiers running faster. His horse trotted, urging the soldiers all the way forward, past the main force, past the forward, and hurried all the way to Jianchang.
Twenty miles away from Jianchang, the soldiers were running with crooked armor and slanted armor, panting like oxen, and there was a huge noise in front of them, which should have been caused by the fighting of the two armies on the battlefield.
Bai Qi led the horses and ordered most of his subordinates to lead the team, and he and Wei Changfeng rushed forward on their horses, intending to see the situation of the battle.
Miles ahead, a scene of a tragic battle unfolded before their eyes.
On the edge of the woodland, the Han cavalry is fighting a bloody battle with the Donghu cavalry! The cavalry that had been urgently dispatched from the Han army camp arrived when the Donghu army passed through the dense forest, and it was too late for the whole team to rush directly to intercept the Donghu army, and the Donghu army suffered because it was in the dense forest, and it was difficult to launch a formation impact for a while, while the Han army was small in number, the team was not organized, and the combat power was not as good as the Donghu cavalry, and the two sides were almost alone at the edge of the dense forest, and started hand-to-hand combat. The Han army battle line is on the edge of the dense forest, the Donghu army is repeatedly rushed out of the dense forest, if the Donghu army breaks through successfully, they can rush through Jianchang before the main force of the Han army, go straight to Shanhaiguan, and the whole team can also attack the main force of the Han army that is unable to fight, if the Donghu army can not break through in time, then once the main force of the Han army arrives and blocks the Donghu army in the dense forest, the Donghu army will have to throw down the war horse, and fight with the Han army in the forest, the result is a great joy for the Han army, and it is a great disaster for the Donghu army, Therefore, the Han and Hu armies are fighting desperately, and neither of them is willing to take half a step back.
Behind the Han army front, the big banner of the word "square" fluttered in the wind. That was the banner of the Dingyuan General Fang Zhenhai, who had just come from the rear for urgent reinforcements. General Fang arrived in Suizhong with the cavalry, and encountered such an emergency, so he commanded the cavalry troops to rush to intercept the Donghu army.
Wei Changfeng and Bai Qi watched the attack and killing of the two sides side by side, seeing that the Han army was very difficult to resist, but the Donghu army was also difficult to break through smoothly for a while, so they couldn't help but be a little eager to try and look at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi groaned for a while, and said softly: "We're just passing by!" ”
