Before the advance cavalry left the pass, Qiu Feihu knew that the scattered cavalry would continue to fight after charging into the enemy formation, so he did not equip all the cavalry with spears, but collected a few scimitars from Chang Si (Note 1). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When it comes to white-knuckle combat, have the knights with swords form groups with spear-wielding men on the spot, and those with short blades should be as close to the spearmen as possible. In this way, they fought and protected themselves on the one hand, but on the other hand, they protected the sides of the spearmen, so that the spear-wielding knights could also carry out the spur with peace of mind. However, after all, the number of scimitars was not enough, not to mention that the troops led by Li Chongjin also needed this thing, so most of the sword-wielding cavalry still used straight-edged Tang knives.

Qiu Feihu himself used back the big pu knife that he was most comfortable with when he left Xuzhou, and this heavy weapon weighing nearly four catties was made by him as if flying up and down, and the infantry of the Qin army's "Right Battle Brigade" were invincible. But they still couldn't break through this line of defense on the right flank and joined forces with Li Chongjin.

Zhao Kuangyin's side is becoming more and more dangerous, the Qin army's Chinese army is pressed over layer by layer, and the Tongguan infantry is increasing with their fatigue, and the casualty rate will of course accelerate at any time. Li Chongjin's side was already stained with blood......

Chang Si waved the drum hammer on the castle tower, although his strength was gradually exhausted, he still refused to stop beating the drum and cheering, and the sweat on his body also swayed with the dancing of his arms......

"The subordinate Xingjie Military Division Lu joined the army Cao Zheng, see Chang Shuai!" Chang Si suddenly heard this sound in his ears.

"What's the matter, say!"

Chang Si still refused to let go of the action at hand, but his heart suddenly moved, and he finally stopped:

"Cao Zheng? Are you Uncle Cao? ”

Chang Si was only transferred from the post of envoy of the Weisheng Army in Dengzhou a few years ago, and he was Liu Yanseng's predecessor, so of course he was very familiar with Neixiang, the county commander who dared to transfer the county order and county branch from the small county lieutenant of Bapin......

"Has Guo Shuxiang's army crossed the river?" I often ask urgently.

"Not so quickly, although it is true that many soldiers have reached the south bank, but it is necessary for a whole army to complete the assembly before they can drive here."

Cao Zheng looked at the situation below, and saw that although the more than 5,000 Tongguan defenders temporarily dragged the Qin army, they were also stuck in their place like a few mud blocks that had been slapped on the brick wall, and they could no longer make any maneuvers. This situation is very bad, as long as the enemy army stabilizes its position again or even tries to change formation, the three teams of men and horses will be wiped out......

Cao Zheng was a little anxious: "Chang Shuai, Guo Shuxiang is here in a blink of an eye, now as long as the remaining five hundred troops in Tongguan are left to observe at the city gate, and the remaining three thousand are filled in the front line to help Zhao Kuangyin block the impact of the enemy's middle and left flank." In this way, it can not only delay the change of the goose-shaped formation and buy time, but also free up the place outside the Tongguan City Gate for Guo Shuxiang's Fengguo army to line up! ”

Seeing that Chang Si was unmoved, he hurriedly said: "Li Shouzhen has set up a huge military formation of more than 10,000 people, this array looks huge and complex on the surface and is difficult to shake, but in fact, the left and right cannot take care of each other and it is difficult to change the formation. In this way, as soon as Guo Shuxiang arrives, the 15,000 elite soldiers of the Fengguo army will definitely be able to wipe Li Shouzhen in one fell swoop, and there will be no more troublesome battles in the river. Otherwise, after Guo Shuxiang's army entered the city, he would only passively defend the city, and in the end, if Li Shouzhen could choose the opportunity to retreat and then flee, it would be troublesome. ”

Chang Si was silent.

Cao Zheng knew that the enemy army must not be allowed to rush to the city, there are too many enemy soldiers, and there are too many ladders, and the output to the city during the siege is very considerable, and in this case, the strong fortress cannot play a real role. But he knew that he couldn't persuade Chang Si, and it would be too late to go back to Fenglingdu to ask Guo Wei's order. When he was at a loss, he suddenly saw some changes in the rear of the Qin army in the distance......

On the right side of the camp in the rear of the Qin army was the scattered township corps training, and on the left, a group of people in mixed clothes gathered together like a swarm of flies, surrounding some characters.

It turned out that it was the heroes invited by Li Shouzhen who surrounded Chengyuan, and he and Guo Rong had been secretly untied by Zhao Pu at this time. The regimental training troops of several camps next to them were all paying attention to the fierce battle ahead, and they had no time to monitor these high-rollers......

Zhao Pu also returned Guo Rong's captured general's sword to him.

"Zhao Duzhu!" A man with a long beard clenched his fists and asked Zhao Pu: "I just heard Li Shouzhen's Tanma say that more than half of Guo Wei's 30,000 troops have crossed the river, is this true?" ”

Zhao Pu secretly sneered in his heart, knowing that these "heroes" who saw the wind and steered the rudder felt like they had been scratched by a little mouse at this time, and they were already uneasy. Now the time has finally come.

"That's right, it won't take long to get there after crossing the river, and according to the laws of the imperial court, the thieves and most of their followers, such as me, have no choice but to rebel. Most of the captives will be reorganized, and the rest will be repatriated without responsibility. ”

Seeing the long beard with a happy look on his face, Zhao Pu glared again and said loudly:

"But! Be! The man was startled by Zhao Pu's sudden two words:

"But you're not some regular soldier in the river, you're all traitors in Guanzhong! Neither farming, nor eating military rations, nor doing a hundred jobs, making personal friends everywhere all day long, violating the king's law, and violating the ban of chivalry, such a group of hooligans must be kept and imprisoned from time to time even if they are innocent, let alone rebel against the puppet king? The traitor is guilty of treason, and the new thief among you hangs him, and follows the pseudo-king all the way, so wait for the zero......"

Chengyuan knew that Cao Zheng was right, and the ancient emperors and officials really had a good face for these "traitors".

The Guanzhong group of tycoons were taken aback when they heard Zhao Pu's words, and many "helpers" and "heads" had already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Don't panic," Chengyuan also understood what Zhao Pu meant: "Everyone still has a way to live, let me introduce a character to you." ”

He pointed to Guo Rong, who was watching the joke on the side, and said: "This gentleman is the prime minister of the dynasty, the son of Guo Wenzhong, the commander of this western expedition: the surname is Guo Mingrong. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

A few Guanzhong knights gave up their hands perfunctorily, and the rest didn't have any special reactions. Cheng Yuan immediately reacted: "Also, these people's world has its own rules, whoever is good at raising it will listen to whom, or if he admires a legendary "martial arts alliance leader"-style character in the rivers and lakes, he will also obey others." ”

Zhao Pudao: "Have you ever known all the way that this Cheng Kui Yuancheng Sima in front of you is the descendant of Tianxing Kui, and even many people in the court are different from him." ”

Zhao Pu knew that time was pressing, and he had to hurry up the time flickering, otherwise so many people gathered here were likely to be suspicious of those Qin army's regimental training and town generals. He pointed to a large ornate tent in the distance:

"The puppet King of Qin believes in the demon monk Zonglun, what good things has Zonglun done along the way?"

"Nope!"

This sentence has actually received a response from many chivalrous people. These people have been watching Zonglun come and go all the way and hug some little ladies, and they have long hated itchy.

"After a while, as long as you listen to this Kui Xing's order and resolutely raise the flag anyway, then General Guo will naturally go to the cardinal minister's side to ask for instructions: not only to forgive your guilt, but also to give you all these girls' families occupied by Zonglun, how about it?"

The crowd thundered with joy.

Guo Rong was actually reluctant to be the "leader" of these traitors, so he simply gave up the "arduous mission" of commanding them to Chengyuan......

"The head of the Xiahuashan faction is willing to give orders from Kuixing!"

"Jiang San, the leader of the Qingfeng Gang, is willing to obey Cheng Sima!"

"Xiao Di is Pan Chu, the head of the Zhongtiao faction, and he is willing to give orders from Guo Shuai and Cheng Gong!"

"The head of the Gaoling Flying Knife Sect, Le Jing, is willing to obey the order!"

"Liang Zheng, the head of the Chase Dart Bureau, is willing to kill the thief anyway!"

Cheng Yuanjian saw that so many "heads" in Guanzhong and Hezhong regions saluted themselves, and then looked at the strange faces of these high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, each of them seemed to have an aura of supernatural skills, and he led the group of heroes like Guo Jing and Zhang Wuji. This "order the world not to dare to disobey", the experience in the dream from a young age suddenly came true. He only felt a hot breath in his chest rushing down the blood veins to his face:

"Mommy! Lao Tzu also became the leader of the martial arts alliance today! He thought to himself......

"Brethren!" Cheng Yuan howled: "Pick up the guys, for the sake of the bunch of little ladies of the Zonglun demon monks, follow me!" ”

"Oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The "heroes" thundered with joy, and Zhao Pu asked everyone to carry a few buckets of pig and sheep fat, which was used to set fire to destroy the enemy's siege equipment. Cheng Yuan got on his horse and carried a gun, holding a three-foot sword high in his right hand, flickering in the sun, he swung hard at the back of the puppet Qin army, and led the army to advance slowly......

The heads of the palaces behind Li Shouzhen's formation found out about the situation, so they turned around, and they also calmly formed a formation to prepare to meet the enemy......

When the distance was still far away, a few of those high rollers couldn't hold their breath and trotted up, and then more and more people were led by the herd effect, and finally more than 2,000 people simply sprinkled their ......

How can such an untrained person listen to orders? Cheng Yuan couldn't control the momentum after a few bullets, so he had to sigh and slap the horse and rush to the front, letting everyone waste their physical strength and rush forward.

The soldiers of the puppet Qin army on the opposite side still looked at them with vicious eyes, maintaining a majestic posture. This murderous aura hit Chengyuan's heart beating wildly......

Although it was still far away from the enemy, it was already running anyway, and Cheng Yuan let out a long roar:

"Kill ............"

However, when the cry ended, he did not hear any echoes from the shouts he did. Chengyuan hurriedly turned the horse's head to look, this time it was applauding, and his eyes bulged out in anger. It turns out that these guys turned around and turned back at some point, and they all ran back......

Chengyuan was so anxious that he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Fuck your mother's Cha Liangyong!" What Five Elements Flag, what group of heroes guarding Xiangyang, the book is all a lie! This kind of hero can't fight at all! ”

Because I have seen the image of a soldier holding a scimitar in the murals of the Tang Dynasty, so I also wrote the equipment of the scimitar into the story of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
