A slightly reddish golden light pierced through the layers of mist that had been hidden above the valley, shining directly on the ground full of corpses and blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The thick smell of water mixed with the same thick blood filled the nostrils of everyone in the soldiers' armies, making their hearts heavier and heavier.

It was early morning, and the battle was over long before dawn. Huang Zhong retreated, retreating leisurely, taking with him all the corpses of his own soldiers. At the moment, there was nothing left between the valleys that belonged to Huang Zhongjun, except for a few broken weapons and one or two forgotten banners. Shi Yi came down from the mountain, and all he saw were the corpses of his own children, as well as the bloodstains that proved that he had fought fiercely.

"The enemy retreated, but his own city of Anguang was saved. In the coming period, there will be no new enemies coming from the west and plotting against Anguang Castle again. "It seemed like a victory, an obvious victory, but Shi Yi really couldn't smile at the arrival of this victory. In the face of his subordinates who also had no momentum, but just kept their heads down and silently cleaned up the battlefield, he was bitter in the face of those generals who did not dare to look at him. What was the battle like last night, he naturally knew very well. Judging by his performance in the battle and the opponent's actions, he could not consider himself the winner. Although all the goals were achieved because of the enemy's retreat, he understood that the enemy retreated automatically and did not suffer much loss, while his own side lost nearly a third of his men and horses because of their automatic, and his morale was almost collapsed because of this.

"They are 'not the winners of the winners' and we are the 'losers of the losers'!" Shi Yi sighed, as if he wanted to pull out all the depression in his chest and breathe out a few heavy breaths, and then ordered his generals: "After cleaning up this place, we will leave." Go back to Anguang, how can you say that this is also a victory. It's time for a celebration feast. These are words of encouragement and celebration, but when he said this, Shi Yi himself gritted his teeth. What his mood was, he did not hide it deeply, but showed it clearly in the eyes of the generals beside him.

"General, aren't you going to pursue them?" Seeing that the unhappiness on Shi Yi's face was so obvious, the leaders of his subordinates who had suffered losses naturally couldn't laugh, they became more and more cautious, and while carefully dodging Shi Yi's gaze, they asked such a tentative question. Of course, they didn't want to chase each other, because they all knew how terrible the other side was, and they knew what kind of situation their soldiers were like. "I can't fight anymore, I must go back to the city to rest quickly." That's what they think about it.

"Chase?" When Shi Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Pursuit, what do we use to chase people?" Have you forgotten the horrors of that last night? The enemy has cavalry. Although on such terrain, the cavalry cannot exert his maximum combat power, but as long as their general can grasp the timing, he can still make us bleed, just like last night's ......" Shi Yi trembled, and inadvertently mentioned last night twice. His eyes narrowed slightly, and although the horror on his face was extremely faint, he could still make some clues faintly visible. It seems that he was terrified of the "last moment" last night.

'That's horrible!' As soon as Shi Yi remembered last night, his heart trembled. Although he was still bathed in the early morning sun, his heart had already fallen into the cold abyss. The scene that he had witnessed faintly in the darkness was already deeply imprinted in his mind. At this moment, he was aroused by the words of his subordinates, and his eyes drifted into the distance, as if everything from last night had reappeared in front of him again.

Then...

The enemy's attack was so fierce that Shi Lingshi was taken aback. Listening to the screams on his side became the mainstream again, his brows tightened.

What exactly do they want to do? Shi Yi had to think about this problem immediately.

There were no such archers in Huang Zhong's army, and Shi Yi knew this. Of course, this was not something he saw directly on the battlefield, but information that he had obtained beforehand. After all, this is in Jiaozhou, where the Shi family has established its prestige for generations, and naturally there are many people who are loyal to the Shi family. This is true in Nanjiaozhou, and it is also the same in Beijiaozhou. Although because of Huang Zhong's superb secrecy methods, they can't get anything too secret, but they can still find out a simple piece of information. For example, the number of this army, the composition and so on.

It is precisely because he clearly understands the depth of the other party that Shi Yi thinks that as long as he can successfully ambush them, he will be able to successfully deal with them and compete for all the success in one battle.

Of course, this was thought out too well at the time. Because I didn't expect them to be so elite that they ended up in such a situation, this is ultimately the reason for the lack of intelligence and the weakness of their own army. However, in terms of comprehensive intelligence, it is still possible to help oneself analyze the battle situation through all that is known. At this point, Sergeant One did not complain anything.

He tried to widen his eyes and carefully observe the battle situation in front of him, and a sudden thought appeared in his mind: 'The enemy's attack has suddenly become so fierce, could it be that they have the idea of retreating?' Shi Yi thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. 'What to do?' He thought about it, and gradually came up with a plan.

He quickly summoned several generals who were following him, and gave an order very directly and clearly: "You have all shown me the situation below." As soon as the enemy below is silent, you will rush with all my might. I suspect that their attack became so strong that it was a counterattack before retreating. What I want you to do is to seize the opportunity and hang behind them smartly and chase them down. Tonight's battle has become the way it is now, and I think you must feel very wronged. Now, this is your chance to wash away your shame. Shi Yi knew that these generals were not his direct subordinates, so he never used that rigid tone when giving orders. He always gave things a clear explanation, and tried to express his hopes by some other means, as if to seduce them—and this was a last resort. After all, there are many large and small families in Jiaozhou, and this matter can only be done well if they all leave some face with each other and compromise with each other. Therefore, absolute strength is not enough.

"Understood!" When those people heard that there was still a chance to turn the tables, their eyes couldn't help but light up and they became excited. They are also military generals, and they are also very bloody. In tonight's battle, the other party made an ambush that could have been carried out smoothly into this picture, although they didn't say anything, but they were so angry in their hearts that they scolded their mothers. Because of the ferocity of the other party, after witnessing it with their own eyes, they naturally did not dare to confront each other head-on. "But the other party has already retreated now, and he will soon turn away." This is only Shi Yi's judgment at the moment, but if this judgment is true, it is indeed the only time for his people to take a breath. If you can't grasp such an opportunity on your side, it will be really useless. They shook their heads, holding their breath in their hearts, and quickly rushed down to prepare. They didn't dare to listen to Shi Yi's judgment 100%, but they also recognized most of it in their hearts. Unlike others, Shi Yi can be regarded as a wise man in this Jiaozhou realm, and his head is much better than that of them. This is what all of them admit.

They believed what Shi Yi said, and quickly went down to prepare. Huang Zhongjun's next move over there also seemed to be a clear proof that Shi Yi's judgment was correct: the other party was indeed retreating. After a fierce arrow attack, Huang Zhongjun, who had deeply repelled his side for nearly ten zhang, quickly lost his life. They no longer wielded their bows and arrows, and the falling arrows were lifeless. Although it was still impossible to see what the other party was doing in the darkness, listening to the movement that became more and more obvious in the contrast that quickly quieted down after the bustle, the generals in front of them who were already ready understood that it was the footsteps of the other party running.

"They're really going to leave!" The slightly dejected generals looked at each other, and they all saw the obvious relieved expressions on each other's faces. This is undoubtedly a cause for them to be happy about.

"Are you going to rush out like this?" A man asked in a whisper after breathing a sigh of relief.

"You're stupid. They are only preparing to retreat now, the people have not left, the head has not fallen off, and the butt has not been exposed to us. Didn't we rush forward in such a hurry that we obviously alarmed them and forced them to turn back and fight us again? Listening to this man's suggestion, another person among the generals immediately retorted.

"What then?" The person in the lead was robbed for a while, his momentum was obviously lowered, and he asked in a low voice.

"Wait! Now we can only pursue them when they are a little farther away. Although the results of that would be far less than the results of rushing out like this. But that's a lot safer after all. Anyway, we just want to take a breath, and as for the rest, that's it. The general who retorted gave such a timid answer. Although timid, it is very popular with everyone. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused everyone's echo. And so the matter was settled.

Time passed quietly. In the midst of nervous waiting, they all listened intently to the movement under the mountain. Although the movement always seemed a little unreal because of the distance, it was the only judgment they had to make for themselves. They were attentive and careful, and gradually listened to the sound of the mountain becoming quieter, and then fell silent.

"Gone?" They exchanged another look. The flames of excitement slowly burned in their eyes, and they became stronger, and the sharp energy that had been suppressed rose again, so that they finally roared majestically: "Brothers, go with our most defeated enemy." Kill! Several of their generals shouted, and they stood up first and rushed down, and for a time they had a bit of the fearless spirit of taking the lead.

The people who stood up waved their weapons like a raging wave rushing to the beach. The torches brightened again in their hands, and the scorching flames flickered before their eyes. "The enemy is indeed gone!" Looking at the empty scene at the bottom of the mountain, they quickly understood this. Of course, they also knew that although the enemy had left, it would not have been long since he left, and if his side rushed to pursue them now, he would definitely be able to catch up with them. After all, in order to ensure the denseness of the formation, it is unlikely that those of them will run wild at this moment and leave desperately.

"Go!" They ran, as excited as if they had eaten tiger whip antler velvet, and their eyes were shining with the light of choosing people and loving people. Pursuing them in the direction the enemy had come, that was the only thought on their minds. As for what would happen after the pursuit, they had been thinking about it for a long time. They don't have a big appetite, and they just want to rush behind each other for a while, and get a little tip to balance their minds - this should be possible. They are all very sure of this.

However, only 12 out of 10 of those good wishes in the world can be fulfilled in the end, and more is melancholy and remorse. "Nine times out of ten, things in life are unsatisfactory." That's true. Just when the generals under Shi Yi were full of confidence and thought that this small wish in their hearts could be realized, a wave of shaking the earth sounded behind them.

"What's that sound?" When the generals heard this, they were stunned at first, and when they quickly turned their heads to look, they saw countless tall and unusual figures shaking in the shadows illuminated by the light. It is a shadow of two feet high, two hands at both ends, and four hooves flying, and what is terrifying is that there is not only one shadow, but tens of thousands of them are connected together, making people look at it from afar and intuitively have that boundless feeling.

"Is it a mountain ghost?" These people were first robbed of their courage by the other party's momentum, and they couldn't help but think about it. Among the Yue people in Jiaozhou, the legend of the so-called mountain ghosts and ghosts has always been circulating. These people more or less believe in the existence of these things. At this moment, when they heard this voice and saw this worrying figure, they were all stunned for a while, and stood in place stupidly, but they also forgot the task they were supposed to carry out to hunt down the enemy army.

They froze, but time did not stop because of their froze. As the other party continued to approach, under their fearful gaze, a clear and hideous voice finally appeared in the light. "It's not a mountain charm!" Looking at the armored figure and the clearly human face on the figure, they quickly confirmed this. However, their mood did not change because of this confirmation, because they knew what it was. This is a cavalry, a cavalry that belongs to the enemy, although it is not a legendary mountain ghost, but these cavalry can take their own lives just like those mountain ghosts.

"Mom, run away." Before the generals could react for a while, the soldiers here were already cleverly crying wolf. The courage they had just mustered was rapidly weakened by the appearance of the opposing cavalry. Although they had little experience against cavalry, they were not the calves that were not afraid of tigers, and they all knew that these charging cavalry were definitely not something that their own scattered infantry with no formation to speak of could resist. "Escape, run as far as you can." This was the only thought on their minds.

However, it was too late. Although their reaction was fast, it was still too slow compared to the cavalry under Chen Xu of Huang Zhongjun's army. When they realized that the other party was a cavalryman, Chen Xu had already rushed to a place that was only ten zhang in front of them. When they just reacted, Chen Xu had already quickly crossed the distance of ten zhang and came to front of them—for the cavalry, this crossing ten zhang was just a time between one or two joys, and it could pass in the blink of an eye.

Sharp spears were raised high in the hands of the cavalrymen. They galloped like flying horses, quickly rushed to the front of these soldiers under the First Army, and stabbed out the spears in their hands without hesitation at their chest and abdomen. These were spears that could only be used once, long shafts, not made of iron, but of a hard, but untenacious wood. Because the wood is hard, the spear can be made slender. Because of the lack of toughness of the wood, it was easy to break the spear shaft with a slight force in such a violent collision, allowing the sharp iron spearhead to rest on the enemy's body.

The five hundred cavalry seemed to be divided into five teams, like five sharp knives, hula and slashed through the body of the first soldier. Due to the proper command of Chen Xu and the use of natural environments such as darkness, the Shiyi Army always thought that there were thousands or nearly thousands of cavalry in this sudden. Obviously, this is a miscalculation, but it is this miscalculation that makes the morale of the Shiyi Army scattered, and makes Chen Xu's assault extremely smooth.

The spear quickly snapped, and the cavalrymen quickly let go of their hands and drew their swords pinned to their waists. Although Li Shengjun's army reorganization has begun, and the new saber is also in intense production, in any case, Li Shengjun's large-scale redress has not yet begun, in the army, even among the cavalry that has always been favored by Li Sheng, more people use the only short weapon that can compete with long weapons in this era, "chopping horses and heavy swords"!

Of course, because of the weight of the sword itself, it requires extremely high arm strength from soldiers, and it is not something that ordinary people can dance casually. This was originally a shortcoming of the army with a heavy sword, but such a shortcoming was almost non-existent for Li Sheng. Because his cavalry itself is a strong man selected from nearly 100,000 soldiers, perhaps in terms of riding training, these people are still a certain gap from the elite tiger and leopard cavalry in the north because of factors such as the training time is not long enough, but in terms of the various qualities required for the use of weapons, how can the thousands of people selected from the 100,000 people have a little weakness? Don't look at the difference in their height and size, but in fact, they are all masters who can use the sword as a normal sword. At this moment, people take advantage of the horse's strength, and the horse helps others, but it is like the heavenly soldiers of the upper realm descending on the mortal earth, bringing the horror and slaughter directly to the front of those soldiers of the Shijia Army.

The heavy sword, four feet long and one palm wide, swam in the hands of the horsemen like fluttering flams. He held it with one hand and gently lifted it upward, but he set up the spear in the hand of the ground sergeant. He gently threw his sword forward, and with the help of his horse, like a thick planer, he easily slashed the chest of the soldier of the First Army, who had no armor to protect him. Blood quickly oozed from the open opening, causing a terrible howl. Under the light of the torches, the crimson blood quickly showed a different kind of beauty.

The screams of the first army never stopped. A huge team of 10,000 people, but because of the loss of morale due to cowardice in his heart, he let a cavalry team of 500 people rush into it and kill a fallen flower. The mournful voice seemed to have become the only cry they could make, and the act of fleeing backwards became their instinctive behavior and became extremely natural. They huddled together in a chaotic manner, seeing things very clearly, but they didn't have any thoughts of resisting. This may also be Huang Zhongjun's luck, after all, five hundred to ten thousand, the gap between this is too big, if even one tenth of the soldiers in the army have the heart to resist, I am afraid that Chen Xu's five hundred riders will be wiped out of it. If such a situation really occurs, it will definitely be a catastrophe for Li Shengjun.

"What if something happens and the whole army is wiped out?" After the battle, Chen Xu, who did not suffer much damage and brought nearly 500 cavalry to meet Huang Zhong's brigade, thought about what he had just experienced, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, so he found Huang Zhong on the spot and asked such a question.

"If anything, I can't help it. But I don't think that's very likely. You've dealt with them, and you know what they're like. Just to describe them as a rabble, it seems that they still look up to them. Huang Zhong shook his head and pouted disdainfully, "Their general, I mean the commander of this battle, is still good in grasping the overall situation, but unfortunately their details are handled too poorly, and the soldiers who carry out this combat mission are even more rubbish." If it weren't for these circumstances, how could I have been so comfortable leaving you alone? Cavalry is the treasure of the lord. ”

"Karma! So to speak. Chen Xu touched his nose embarrassedly, and a shy smile appeared on his face. In fact, he is also a shy person, especially when there is nothing serious to do.

…… It's all a matter for later. As for the present, Chen Xu couldn't think about it for a while. Nor was he afraid. Looking at the head that was full of black pressure around him, he was already immersed in the sexual excitement of fighting, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red. "Kill them all." Unlike when he was shy, after he went to the battlefield, he looked like a mad tiger, and he charged bravely and tightly.

The team was on top of the enemy's position, but it did not walk in a straight line in the face of the extremely chaotic enemy. Because he saw the enemy's timidity, because he only had such a chance to rush once, Chen Xu was different from the cautious behind, but he was bold and unusually tight. In order to allow himself to kill a few more enemies in the enemy formation, he actually deliberately slowed down a little, walked a serpentine shape in the enemy formation, and charged in a twisted and twisted manner, but it made those people in the Shiyi Army even more timid.

Things had become so irreversible by this time, and the chaotic scene of the whole defeat had become a mess made Shi Yi on the mountain dizzy for a while.

"How so? How can you fall into the trap of the enemy? Shi Yi muttered to himself in distraction. He was discouraged, and the successive blows had already made him uncomfortable. And the current failure of this assault is more like the last straw that crushes the camel's camel, so that he can't muster the slightest courage. A feeling of frustration and loss filled his chest, and he even wondered if he was really as wise and wise as these people in Jiaozhou said.

"Maybe I'm just a stupid person." He lowered his head, not daring to look at the battlefield down the hill that would almost make him blush. For a general like him, who claims to be a wise general, to be counted in front of him in everything is really a blood-vomiting thing - in fact, he really spurted out a mouthful of blood, under this emotional agitation.

No matter how great the enemy's chaos is, the soldiers are scattered and reopened, and no matter how big the chaos is, there will eventually be an end to it. After nearly half an hour of rushing and killing, even if Chen Xu was still unsatisfied, he had also killed the formation of the First Army. Although he was a little dissatisfied with not being able to destroy the enemy in his heart, the trace of clarity that still existed in his heart made him honestly follow the orders of his boss Huang Zhong and quickly disappeared, leaving only the other party's maimed and corpse.

At this time, the battle was finally over with Chen Xu and their departure. Not to mention what kind of performance Shi Yi's side had in the face of this endgame, just that Chen Xu led the team to keep up with Huang Zhong, and after meeting with him, he was called to a game by Huang Zhong. After briefly asking about the final situation of the battle, he and Sha Lei were asked by Huang Zhong to discuss the next course of action together. This is a very important thing for the army, which is now at the end of the crossbow.

"Do you think we're going to cross the Yushui and return to Changping like this?" Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and glared at his two subordinates with a seemingly godless but powerful look. Although he asked them to come over and discuss the strategy that his team should implement below, Huang Zhong understood that this was just a cover. He had already made up his mind what to do, and what he was doing now was not to discuss with his subordinates what to do, but to find a way to convince his subordinates to do what he said.

"We're tired enough now. I really need to rest for a while and return to Changping to rest, I think it's a natural thing. Although Chen Xu and Sha Lei felt that their current boss was a little strange, they didn't think of so much, and they naturally gave that natural answer to their boss's question.

"Don't you feel like a wretch? If we go back like this, our mission will undoubtedly fail. Although it is very common for things on the battlefield to win and lose, for now, the defeat on our side is undoubtedly likely to cause the fall of Huai'an City. And what is the result of the fall of Huai'an City, I think you should also understand. Huang Zhong slowed down his tone, tempting them faintly.

"This ......," Sharay hesitated.

But Chen Xu on the other side reacted quickly: "My lord, I guess I have other better plans, right?" Please give it a try! Chen Xu was keenly aware that Huang Zhong didn't have the idea of bringing back all the teams he brought out.

"The Shi family has a strong force in the southern part of Jiaozhou, but due to the fact that Jiaozhou itself is vast and sparsely populated, the number of troops they can control is not very large. At present, the 30,000 soldiers he pressed under Huai'an City were already the largest force he could draw. That is to say, at this time when the Shi family led troops to attack Huai'an, the Shi family did not have many troops in other places, and their strength was very empty. That's what we're going to do next. We're trying to attack them and leave their rear in disarray. This is also a means of encircling Wei to save Zhao. Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes, and finally said what he thought in his heart, "What do you see? He looked at Chen Xu and Sha Lei.

"Medium! That's it. "Whether it is Chen Xu or Sha Lei, he is a bold master, as soon as he heard that Huang Zhong had such an idea, he immediately agreed without saying a word, which made Huang Zhong feel happy in his heart.
