Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Poisoner Jia Xu
Liang Xing rode out on horseback, and the foot soldiers behind him swung out in a conical shape, which could also effectively avoid the enemy's sudden arrow coverage and reduce losses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Where is the enemy general, why don't you come out and answer."
Wu Xi was a little afraid, he hadn't found out when he followed Guo Yan before, but now he was in command of an army alone.
"Whoever is coming, report his life."
Liang Xing saw Wu Xi clutching the reins, his expression was stiff and unnatural, he knew that he was a little stage frightened, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is Liang Xing, who is the head of the eight horsemen of Han Taishou, and the widow of the Dong thief has not come to die." ”
Liang Xing's loud voice startled Wu Xi, but after all, he did not lose his mind, firmly remembered Jia Xu's instructions, waved his big hand, and suddenly there were rows of archers bending their bows and arrows, staring at Wu Xi's raised right hand.
As soon as Wu Xi paused, he dropped his right hand, and suddenly the sound of the bowstring was endless, and although the arrows were not as overwhelming as the ten thousand people firing at once, they were also very dense.
Liang Xing scolded secretly, quickly turned the horse's head and started running, and was not relieved until he ran back to the base camp.
"Shoot me back." As soon as the words fell, the archers began to fight back, and they were angry in their hearts, and ordered the heralds: "Arrange for the infantry to be on standby, and the archers will cover on the spot, waiting for my order." ”
"Wait." Han Sui hurriedly stopped him, and although he handed over the power of commanding the army to Liang Xing, he couldn't mess around.
"The foot soldiers hold off on their advance, and the archers cover the cavalry on the left flank to advance and shoot, and it is not too late to cover up when the enemy archers are fleeing."
Han Sui was tactful and cautious, otherwise how could he gain the trust of the court after rebelling against the court.
Liang Xing was angry, but Han Sui had already set the tone, and he couldn't openly oppose it, so he arranged for the herald to give orders.
The archers were killed and wounded by each other, Liang Xing saw that it was almost over, nodded at the commander of the command flag, and received the instruction, the commander hurriedly waved the red flag in his hand to the left, and his own left wing cavalry rushed out.
The cavalry was like the wind, and each took off his bow and arrow, and raised it at a forty-five degree angle.
"Put." When the enemy was less than a hundred paces away, the horses shouted loudly, and the horsemen who had prepared them released their arrows.
Flying shooting, this is the stunt of the Qiang cavalry and Karasuma, but Han Sui and Ma Teng's department have been fighting with it all the year round, and they have also learned a rough idea.
never stopped, Cheng Yi led the cavalry to follow, and it was also a round of flying shots.
The drum beat of "dong dong" sounded, and Jia Xu saw that the time was almost up, so he ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops.
The soldiers on the battlefield suddenly seemed to be amnesty, and they all returned to the camp according to the path they had told before, Jia Xu plotted to get close to the demon, and the path left behind looked chaotic, and no one on Han Sui's side could find the clues.
Liang Xing glanced at Han Sui, and when he saw him nodding, he signaled the command to launch a general attack.
In an instant, the infantry and spearmen surged like a flood and poured away, and Ma Yu and Cheng Yi led the cavalry to shoot, turned the horse's head and delayed for a lot of time, secretly anxious, thinking that he had missed many achievements.
When Ma Yu and Cheng Yi rushed over, they happened to see those trapped horse pits revealing their true faces, looking hideous under the scorching sun.
The soldiers in front couldn't stop their feet, and the soldiers behind couldn't see the movement in front, and they were bent on killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, crowding each other, and actually pushed many people into it.
The trap not only confiscated the lives of Han Sui's troops, but also separated Wu Xi's army on the other side, so he could only send archers to shoot the enemy.
Han Sui and Liang Xing stood on a high place, with everything in full view, and suddenly they were frightened and cold, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Han Sui listened to Yang Qiu's report with a gloomy face.
"In this battle, the spearmen lost a total of 3,000 people regardless of the minor wounded, the archers also lost more than 2,000 people, and the two cavalry divisions of Chengyi and Ma Play lost a total of 700 people and 900 war horses."
With a loud "pop", Han Sui almost didn't overturn the table, and he was furious.
"The last will be guilty, please punish the Lord." Liang Xing and other generals hurriedly knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Han Sui's face was blue, he didn't expect that the fragrant bun in his hand could also fly, and he was seriously injured, but he was also on the scene in the previous battle, and he knew that it was no wonder that the generals were too cunning.
"Yang Qiu, immediately get in touch with the vanguard army, let them come back to support, and if you don't kill all of Guo Yan's subordinates, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
Yang Qiuru was amnestied, and hurriedly ran out of the handsome tent to make arrangements.
The night covers up all crimes, the crickets cries one after another, and the stars in the sky flicker with a faint light, weakly exposing some ugliness to people.
Wu Xi stood behind Jia Xu, the expression on his face was unpredictable, he was really frightened at this moment, Jia Xu's plan was not to seek the world, but to kill people, and he could also talk and laugh.
"General, now you know why I didn't camp in this cypress forest."
A gust of cold wind blew, Wu Xi's palms were sweating, at first he asked the scout to explore the terrain, and saw that the cypress forest was relatively low, and there was a two-meter-wide stream flowing through it, with water sources to replenish, which was very suitable for camping, but was rejected by Jia Xu, and it was not until this time that he knew that Jia Xu was calculating at the beginning.
"Wouldn't it hurt the peace of heaven to do so?"
"Becoming a big thing is not informal, Wu Xi, you are far worse than your master, in the past, Guo Yan and Li Wei said to Dong Xiang, kill the emperor Liu Xie, so that he can establish himself as the emperor, it can be said that he is not ruthless, if it is not for Li Ru's bitter advice, I am afraid that the world is no longer surnamed Liu at this time."
Wu Xi clenched the fire fold in his hand, his eyes wandered, and he was suddenly stunned, and he saw the rags on the erected spear turn around.
"The wind has changed."
"Command the left and right places to set fire to the forest, and when the northeast wind stops, we will set this place on fire." Jia Xu's eyes were like eagles, flashing with bloodthirsty persistence.
It didn't take long for the cypress trees on the left and right sides to burst into flames, Jia Xu looked at the beating fire excitedly, and murmured: "Han Sui, I don't know if the coffin I gave you is still in line with my heart, Ma Teng, and you, dare to rebel against Dong Xiang, you wait, your death is not far away." ”
Cypress trees contain resin and are the most flammable, and although the weather in June is not as dry as in winter, the fire burns very quickly with the help of the wind.
"Lord, something is wrong, the cypress forest is on fire." Hearing the shouts outside the account, Han Sui was startled, he didn't feel sleepy, hurriedly put on his clothes, and rushed out: "What's the matter." ”
"Just now, a soldier came to report that he saw fires rising on both sides of the northwest, and this moment it has spread by the wind."
Han Sui stepped on his feet to look, just in time to see the beating sparks spreading.
"Let's go, head south." Although Han Sui was shocked, he was not confused, felt the direction of the downwind, and hurriedly summoned his soldiers to evacuate.
Halfway through, but I saw the fire in the rear, and now it's too late for people to dig firebreaks, no one is stupid, and staying is equivalent to death.
The scorching air wave hit, and the roasting people hurt, and I don't know how many people were swallowed by the fire.
Suddenly, the wind turned smaller, and it disappeared after a while, and Han Sui was overjoyed: "The sky will not kill me." "Hurry up and lead the rest of the soldiers to the south.
The soldiers had hope of survival, but they didn't know where the strength came from, so they ran away.
"Wenhe, here."
Without Wu Xi's reminder, Jia Xu naturally heard the movement in the forest: "Ignition of fire." ”
Jia Xu personally lit a cypress tree in the south, and the soldiers who had chosen the trees to stand received the order and lit up the fire folds one after another, and for a time the entire south was full of fire, but after all, the wind stopped, and the spread of the tree weakened a lot.
"Lord, look." Liang Xing screamed, in a trance.
Han Sui was shocked in his heart, looked up blankly, through the fire, he just saw that not far from the way out, there were soldiers standing with torches in their hands, and the first person was Jia Xu, looking at him and sneering: "It's you?" Jia Wenhe. ”。
Han Sui was paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were completely demoralized, and he was disheartened like an old man waiting for death, not knowing what it was like in his heart at this moment.
"Hey." With a final sigh, Han Sui raised his saber and wiped his neck with a sword, his eyes widened even when he was out of breath, as if he wanted to see how unfair this thief was.
"Let's go." Jia Xu's face was expressionless, and it seemed that the tens of thousands of lives that he burned alive were not as precious as ants.
"What, Han Sui died?" Ma Teng grabbed the collar of the soldier who came to report, looking incredulous.
"Father, you're going to strangle him to death." Ma Xiu and Ma Tie hurriedly grabbed Ma Teng on the side.
Ma Teng's eyes were glazed, and he walked out of the big tent like a walking corpse, and muttered: "Han Wenyue, Han Wenyue, you and I have cooperated for half a life, and we have fought for half a life, how did you die so easily, but I swore to take down your head personally." ”
Ma Tie was worried and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ma Xiu and couldn't help shaking his head.
At this time, it happened that Guo Jia passed through the place where Li Jing was stationed and arrived at the upper hall.
"Guo Jia, the chief secretary under Cao Cao, the captain of the school, asks to see Master Li." Guo Jia presented the prayer post with both hands, and handed over a bag of gold and silver to the porter.
The porter flipped the money bag in his hand and happily accepted it in his arms: "Wait a minute, let me go and report it." ”
