Chapter 518: Knowing People and Being Good at Duty
Qiu Yue started as a pawn, and was able to inherit Qiu Li's military position for a while, and was promoted to the commander of the capital, awarded the title of guerrilla general in Ningxia, and fought a lot of battles. However, it was the first time that he had been given such a unique responsibility, especially when most of the soldiers and horses in Ningxia Town were still defending in various cities, and the army and horses in his hands were almost not even a partial division.
He only had more than 500 cavalry and more than 2,000 foot soldiers, of which only half were experienced veterans, and the pressure of more than 1,000 cavalry who came and went can be imagined. He tasted enough sweetness when he cleaned up those bits and pieces of soldiers and horses before, and if he quit easily at this time, he would be laughed at by the old eunuch next to him! He had seen it with his own eyes, this old immortal eunuch had just lightly drawn his bow and two arrows, and directly shot the two Tartars off his horse!
Fortunately, these are the soldiers and horses he personally trained, and they cannot be said to be like a finger, but in the face of the imminent crisis, the soldiers still have great trust in him, and after all, the army can maintain the integrity of the formation under the enemy's two charges. Seeing that the enemy army was about to approach for the third time, he looked at the sky and the direction of the sun and the wind, and finally showed a conceited smile on his face.
Dare to think that Lao Tzu will only stick to it? Tailwind, against the sun, not to mention the fire that has just been held back by the repeated guards, it's time!
He shouted to the herald, and as the order flew into the outpost, he suddenly took down the strong bow that he had not used until now, took an arrow from the quiver and wound it, and bent the bow as easily as a full moon. As the arrow flew towards the enemy formation like a meteor, more than a dozen guards behind him shot the arrows in their hands almost simultaneously. Just when the enemy was full of thoughts that this long distance would be in vain, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly sounded on the grassland, and for a moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the captives.
"Kill!"
The shouting and killing sound that rushed to the sky came from the rear!
Qiu Yue's face showed a sneer, and then he hung his bow and arrow next to the horse's neck, and immediately drew his waist knife and shouted, following the cavalry on both wings first. He led the Chinese army to slowly press forward, and it was the first time that he counterattacked the defense. If you really only rely on some soldiers and horses like him, it is naturally the mantis arm that blocks the car and is beyond his strength, but at this time, the sound of muskets in the enemy's rear formation is continuous, coupled with the smoke and dust billowing behind, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses, the more than 1,000 cavalry suddenly panicked.
At this time, if Qiu Yue's team of Chinese troops messed up the formation, it would naturally be the best choice for the troops to rush into formation. You can also test the number of reinforcements. However, even at the time of the counteroffensive at this time, Qiu Yue still had a posture of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and Agudam, who led the troops, tried his best to rush and kill twice, but was blocked back, plus the two wings were bitten by others, and the rear was in chaos, even if he was also a young general that Balsborough relied on, he was also a little anxious at this time.
Jinong ordered him to stay there because of the army that might be sent to defend the city. But he was actually entangled to this point by such a mere less than 3,000 soldiers and horses! It is said that the military horses of the three towns of Shaanxi are not as good as before, how can they be so difficult!
"Agudam, the sun is unfavorable, the Ming army is flanked before and after, and both wings are soldiers and horses, but there are many military horses in the east and few military horses in the west, the Ming army must think that we dare not go west and kill in the west!"
I heard the voice of my deputy, Ullihan, beside me. Although Agudammu has always been unaccustomed to this guy who relies on the old and sells the old, he can't care so much about it at this time, and immediately ordered the military order to be handed down. However, before the order to break through the siege spread throughout the army, he suddenly heard bursts of cheers from the Ming army. The next moment, he saw a large number of military horses appear on the western horizon. Looking at the banner exhibition, there are 35,000 people. As a cavalry galloped out, he knew that it would be too late to give another order, so he immediately decided to rush east with his own soldiers to kill him. Although many of the military horses under his command subconsciously followed. But the previous military order to the west finally made some people confused. For a while, they were divided into two and fought separately. ..., the encirclement and pursuit were only staged for just over an hour before they were over. It has been a principle since ancient times that the poor Kou Mo chases, not to mention that the two military horses are combined. is still a partial division of less than 5,000, and it is certainly a pleasure to cover up, but if you kick the iron plate head-on, it will turn from a comedy to a tragedy.
When Qiu Yue saw Xu Xun, he turned to annihilate the enemy several times, and in the hard-fought battle just now, he could barely straighten his legs when he got off the horse. After reluctantly stepping forward to salute, seeing that Xu Xun was holding himself, he didn't care about being polite, so he easily stood up straight and said with a wry smile: "If Pingbei Bo doesn't come, it will be extremely difficult to win this battle at the end of the battle." ”
Xu Xun had already seen the so-called surprise attack of the military horses just now, and saw that there were two or three hundred people scattered scattered, and most of them were wounded soldiers, so he knew that Qiu Yue was probably placing people in the quieter hills nearby, so he said thoughtfully: "You told them, if it is a last resort, then raise smoke and dust to bluff and use firearms to disrupt the enemy's position?" ”
"Yes, it was originally just in case, but who knew that it was so entangled by that force that I had to use this dangerous last resort." Speaking of this, Qiu Yue arched his hand and said, "It's just that those small groups of captives have been swept away, what should happen next, please show Ping Beibo." ”
"You've worked hard, rest on the spot for now, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Xu Xun saw that although Miao Kui beside Qiu Yue was also tired, the old eunuch was obviously in a stronger spirit than Qiu Yue, who had just been under pressure, and had to call Miao Kui when he left. And when Miao Kui and Chen Xiong, an old acquaintance, met again, the old eunuch smiled: "This Qiu Yue is really a character." In the end, he was born in the army, and most of the people below obeyed him, otherwise the plan to mess up the enemy's position at the last critical moment, if those wounded soldiers ran away, who would accompany him to sing such a one-man show? Such a person, a mere guerrilla general, is still not enough. ”
Although Chen Xiong had an old relationship with Miao Kui, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Father-in-law Miao said this, as if he had suffered a lot of exclusion and grievances!" Not to mention Ningxia Town, even if it is placed in other border towns, his promotion is already extremely fast! However, a mercenary, first inherited the military position of Qiu Li, who had no blood relationship with him, and then he was promoted through meritorious service, and then he was promoted by Lord Yang, and this time he made military exploits, and after he went back, he was at least a general. If you really want to be a general soldier, you have to hone it for another year or two. It's not that easy to be on your own! ”
Miao Kui suddenly smiled when he heard this: "Our family has forgotten, you are only the deputy chief soldier...... Moreover, compared with the deputy commander-in-chief of the border town, this deputy general soldier is still a little worse in terms of authority. If you are willing, our family will talk to Beibo now, how about leaving you in Ningxia Town and replacing Jiang Han? ”
Knowing that Miao Kui was just talking casually, Chen Xiong didn't take it to heart, but looked at Xu Xun and said, "Let's come along the road." One after another, I ate a few strands of tartar. Now that we have joined forces, there are already 5,000 of our troops, should we go back to Pingyu City to rest or ......?"
"Set up camp for now."
After Xu Xun put down these four concise words, he immediately spoke: "Let Jiang Bin come to see me." ”
The camping after the rest made the military horses who had been fighting all day relieved. However, Jiang Bin, who was called by Xu Xun, lifted his spirits. When I cleaned that little tribe before. Because Xu Xun personally promised to allow the plunder, it was a scene like a storm and clouds afterwards. However, in the past, he did this kind of thing in front of others, but this time he was so personable that even his own soldiers restrained him - and promised them sweetness afterwards. He naturally knew that these things would inevitably reach Xu Xun's ears, as long as the other party felt that he could restrain himself, he would definitely be of great use, so he stood up straight at this time. ..., "Jiang Bin, you follow me into Shaanxi." It's been almost a month now. After starting with such a sentence, Xu Xun said with a smile, "Several engagements, coupled with this surprise attack, you either took the initiative to ask Ying or took the lead, which shows that you are indeed a brave person." I don't have many other advantages as a person, but I have some confidence in knowing people well. Since you never mentioned going back to Datong Town, I acquiesced to your follow, so. Today I have a life-or-death mission I want to ask if you dare to go. Of course. If you don't want to go, I won't force it. After all, as I said just now, it's nine deaths. ”
Xu Xun first said that he knew people and was good at his duties, and then said that he would die for a lifetime, and Jiang Bin was suddenly aroused by the blazing fire in his heart. There are only a few ways for generals to be promoted, and the most important thing is to work on the side. And I think that if Xu Xun hadn't taken the risk, how could he have the scenery he has today? Not to mention that there are 100 households in Channing, and now they are already in the hands of the insiders! Therefore, he took a deep breath and got down on one knee without hesitation.
"Whether it's on the sword mountain or down the sea of fire, you will never frown!"
"Okay, you get up and talk!"
Xu Xun had already seen through Jiang Bin's gambler's temper that was exactly the same as Qian Ning's back then, and after nodding his head when he heard this, he said unhurriedly: "Although there were occasional small successes in the previous battles, the impact on the overall situation depends on the next one. I want you to take your guide and a few reliable soldiers to the fire sieve and bring me a few words for him, as well as his son-in-law Urusborot! ”
For the sons of the little prince, each side town has its own name for each side town, but because of Xu Xun's battle before, coupled with the fact that the battle was in full swing later, Jiang Bin was still familiar with the name Urusborot, so he heard these words clearly after he got up, and immediately agreed. When Xu Xun beckoned him to take two steps forward, he went up as he said, and when he understood Xu Xun's whisper, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Such conditions...... Will the fire sieve agree? ”
"The situation is stronger than people, he will agree!" Xu Xun smiled slightly, and then said solemnly, "Of course, although it is unlikely, if the fire sieve shakes hands with Balsborought, I am afraid that your trip will be more auspicious." In that case, your wife and children will take care of you, and your son will be my son. ”
This kind of words may sound like just a fluttering promise, but Jiang Bin had specially sent a letter to Zhuang Jian from Datong before, and he had carefully inquired about Xu Xun's personality and knew that he was the most inaccurate. Therefore, he hugged his hands and gave a military salute, and then said word by word: "Pingbeibo rest assured, it is not so easy to die of humility!" ”
