Chapter 58: The Battle of Guiwu
"If you want to do business, that's fine. If you have money, everyone will earn it together. As long as the adults can make it convenient in the future, I will definitely honor the adults more in the future. Asa did not change his face, handed a piece of silver into the hands of An Qinwei, and said with a smile.
"Don't try to buy me with money. I don't look down on your little bit of silver. Where did you get so many cattle and sheep? What are you buying so much steel for? If I'm not mistaken, you must be a spy sent by the Zhan Tu people. An Qinwei said with a cold gaze.
"If you don't think you have enough money, this box of silver is all your own. I really don't understand what kind of spies are occupying the Turks. At this time, please see, my lord, I am really from Hebing City. Asa pretended to be puzzled and took out the customs clearance paperwork.
"Tricks and tricks with me, you're still far away. Do not say that I am convinced that you are spies sent by the Janturians. What if you don't? I'd rather kill by mistake, and I would never let go of a possible spy. An Qinwei said.
Seeing that An Qinwei's face was fierce, and his words were ruthless, Asa knew that he couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, so he admitted: "That's right, we are the Zhantu people, and we came here to buy steel to build weapons. We Zhan Tu people hate Wei Zeng very much. Because of the defeat a few years ago, we Zhantu people have not been able to raise their heads, and we want to seek revenge from Wei Zeng. ”
"Oh? Is it your purpose to seek revenge on Wei Zeng? Hearing this, An Qinwei said with interest.
"That's right, it's to find Wei Zeng for revenge. Our king has annexed several tribes in Mobei, and now has 10,000 warriors in his hands. Our king is determined to kill Wei Zeng. Wash away the shame of defeat at the beginning. But without weapons, we couldn't fight Wei Zeng, so they sent us to buy steel. Asa didn't dare to reveal his identity, but only tried his best to show his resentment towards Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng is now attacking Guanbei, and Asa believes that in his hatred for Wei Zeng, the officer in front of him will let him go.
"It's interesting. Wei Zeng is now invading our Guanbei and threatening to completely exterminate our sect. In the face of the same enemy, perhaps we have room for cooperation. But I still want to ask for instructions from Lord Shui, so I ask you to stay for a few more days. ”
An Qinwei thought that if he could cooperate with the Zhan Tu people, he would have an extra chance of winning against Wei Zeng. But the Zhan Turks became stronger, and they were also a threat to Guanbei. Ann Qinwei can't decide for himself. So he asked for instructions from the clear stream.
After Shui Qingliu knew that Wei Jinjun was in Guanbei, he had been busy with how to resist the Yanbei rebels. Recently he decided to go south and personally command the army. Don't let Wei Zeng have a gap.
After hearing the news from An Qinwei, Shui Qingliu thought about it carefully and decided to unite with the Zhan Tu people.
"Having the Zhan Turks harassing Wei Zeng's rear can also make the situation of the war more favorable to us. I was trying to form a cavalry unit. Cooperate with the Janturists. It is also a good option to exchange for horses. However, the Zhantu people are an alien race after all, and cannot be trusted; The people on the steppe are all wolf cubs, and they can be used to make them strong, but they must not be made strong. Shui Qingliu said.
"Then the Demon Lord means to unite with the Zhantu people, but also to restrict the Zhantu people. How can this be done? An Qinwei asked.
"The steel is in our hands, and we have the final say on how much they give them. Several large tribes can contain each other, that is, they can pose a threat to Yanbei. It can also make the Zhantu people rely on us all the time. Do you know what to do? Shui Qingliu said.
"The subordinate understood. I'm going to do it. I will negotiate with the Zhantu man the price of the steel transaction, ten catties of iron for a horse, and I will definitely let the Zhantu people vomit all their blood. I will send an envoy to unite several other large Chatun tribes, and now the Chatun people are not united at all, and taking advantage of the contradictions between them, it should be easy to control them. An Qinwei's eyes rolled a few times and replied.
"Lao An, it's easy to talk to you, and you don't need to talk at all. I will personally take command this time, and I can rest assured that the rear will be handed over to you. You are solely responsible for the affairs of the Occupy Turks. Shui Qingliu said with a smile.
An Qinwei said a few words modestly and left.
Asa left Lu Yecheng safely, calculating in his heart: "A horse for ten catties of iron, a set of armor for twenty catties of iron, a saber for three catties of iron, plus a helmet and knee pads, a total of thirty catties of iron to arm a warrior." A thousand warriors are 30,000 catties of iron, and 10,000 warriors are 300,000 catties of iron. It takes 30,000 horses to form 10,000 iron horses. The hearts of the people of the Central Plains are really black, and they want to snatch all of our horses from the Turks. ”
Asa was resentful and determined that when he unified Mobei, he would take back all those horses. In order to be strong, he chose temporary patience.
In the days that followed, Asa's tribe repaired bows and arrows, armor soldiers, and used troops against the surrounding tribes on a large scale, gradually forming a powerful force in the Mobei grassland. The Zhantu people in Mobei are also gradually moving towards unity, and the northern border of Yanbei is doomed to be unstable.
Since listening to Qi Weilun's advance strategy, Wei Zeng decided in his heart that he must use a few years to pull out the surrounding forces, and then concentrate all his forces to fight the death sect in Kansai.
This time he sent troops to Kansai, and Wei Zeng deeply realized that the mountains of Kansai were a great obstacle to his advance, and the Kansai people who were good at mountain warfare could not be taken lightly. If you want to capture Kansai, you must concentrate all your efforts; If you want to concentrate your efforts, you must eliminate all your worries. And the first thing Wei Zeng wanted to clean up was the clear water in Guanbei.
The northern army of Yanbei marched along the Yushan Mountain Road to Guanbei, and the thieves entrenched in Yushan had already heard the news and fled. In the silent Yushan Mountain Road, apart from the sound of the wind, only the footsteps of the march remained.
Several Tsing Yi warriors crouched on top of their posts, looking at the Yanbei army in front of them, looking for a target. When Wei Zeng's banner of the Chinese army appeared, several people in Tsing Yi cheered up and aimed their poisoned bows and arrows at Wei Zeng's car, intending to assassinate.
As Wei Zeng's frame approached, a man in Tsing Yi touched the mechanism, and several sections of horizontal logs rolled down the hill to block Wei Zeng's car. Then the bows and arrows of the people in Tsing Yi were all shot at Wei Zeng's car.
Wei Zeng was closing his eyes and thinking about how to use troops against Shui Qingliu, listening to the chaos outside the car, and lifting the curtain to check. Suddenly, I was shocked, and the alarm burst out. Wei Zeng jumped out of the car without hesitation. Seeing that Wei Zeng's position just now was shot by a random arrow, Wei Zeng looked back and was secretly frightened.
"Is the general alright?" Yu Chaogui saw that Wei Zeng was in danger. Hurriedly commanded the soldiers to protect Wei Zeng, stepped forward and asked.
"How many Xiaoxiao also want to plot against me? You bring men to me, except for them. Wei Zeng patted the dust on his body and said.
Seeing that the assassination was fruitless, several people in Tsing Yi retreated into the mountains and forests. Yu Chaogui followed closely with his soldiers, wanting to kill all the assassins.
Yu Chaogui pursued, and soon came to a corner in the mountains, and the people in Tsing Yi went around the corner and disappeared. The cliffs on both sides of this corner are towering, and the rocks in front of it obscure the view. I don't know how it is.
Yu Chaogui felt that something was wrong, looked at the sky, and saw a flock of birds hovering. There is a measure in the mind.
"The enemy has an ambush ahead, waiting for us to die. After a few of you went around the hillside from the side, I led someone to drag them. They dared to assassinate General Wei, and today they will not return. Yu Chaogui commanded.
There are indeed more demonic cultists lurking on the hillside. Just wait for the courtiers to come. Take advantage of the terrain to kill and injure the Yanbei rebels.
Yu Chaogui made a feint frontal attack, and many Tsing Yi people appeared on the mountain walls on both sides to throw rolling stones downward and shoot bows and arrows.
After a while, there was chaos behind the Tsing Yi man on the cliff. Yu Chaogui already knew that the people who had gone around behind the enemy had succeeded, so he led his soldiers to rush up the hillside and defeated the demon cultists who were in ambush.
"It seems that Wei Zeng also has a few capable people under him. The operation failed, but next time they were not so lucky. Seeing that the ambush failed, Wei Zeng's main army also followed. had to choose to retreat.
"General Qiyu, it can be seen from the mouths of captured enemies. Shui Qingliu has already gone south in person, and he will arrive in Guiwucheng in a few days. The enemy troops in the direction of Wucheng, hearing of our arrival, have already given up the siege and are ready to fight a decisive battle with our army. Yu Chaogui reported.
"The Demon Cultists are insidious and cunning, and I can't fully believe their words, so I still send out a detective to investigate. We must be careful not to give them the opportunity to carry out their intrigues. Wei Zeng said.
"My subordinates understand that I will definitely send someone to check the road ahead. Be sure to find out all the enemies in ambush. Yu Chaogui replied.
"You send someone to inform Miss Sa of the news of the inquiry. After she led people to the palace, if the news was not well-informed, it would be bad if something went wrong. Leading troops to fight is morale, and the second is the ability to cooperate with each other. As long as our army moves as one, it will absolutely not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. Wei Zeng commanded.
Yu Chaogui took the order and left. The northern army of Yanbei advanced all the way until it came out of the Yushan mountain road without encountering any resistance.
Just out of the Yushan mountain road, it is a horse Pingchuan, only one or two days away from returning to Wucheng.
Wei Zeng's Chinese army walked not far forward, and saw tens of thousands of Guanbei soldiers, and set up a position to fight a decisive battle with the Yanbei army. Among them, there is a big blue flag, with a king character written on it.
The Guanbei boy is tall and tall, known as the title of the Great Peking University, and the 100,000 Guanbei pawns are even more known for their toughness. Now that the Demon Sect controls the overall situation of Guanbei, 100,000 Guanbei pawns, everyone wears green scarves, and the armor is embroidered with demon patterns, and the green masks of officers at all levels shine strangely in the sun. All this made the Guanbei warriors a little less majestic and a little more terrifying.
"Wei Zeng, it was your luck in the first battle of Yanbei at the beginning, and today your luck has run out, I will use your blood to sacrifice to the main god and wash away my original shame." The royal guard shouted through the military formation.
"The general of the defeated army, dare to speak wild words here? Yanbei failed to capture you that day, so you should have run to the deep mountains and old forests to hide, and now you have run out again to be embarrassed. I won't kill you, I'm sorry for your bullshit god. Wei Zeng sneered, and there was laughter in the camp of the Yanbei army.
"See the main chapter under your hands, you won't be able to laugh after today."
With a wave of his hand, a ghost-faced general rode a tall horse to the front of the military formation, brandished his halberd and shouted at the Yanbei army camp: "That one dares to come out to fight." If you don't dare to fight, you will go back to your mother's belly, and the province will be embarrassed here. ”
Wei Zeng's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he turned his head to Huang Yufei and said, "Huang Yufei, I heard that my martial arts have grown rapidly recently, bring me the head of this madman back, and I will remember your head work." ”
"It will definitely live up to the general's expectations." After Huang Yufei finished speaking, he turned over his horse and rushed towards the ghost-faced general with a steel whip.
"Maniac, take your life." Huang Yufei approached the ghost-faced general and whipped out.
Seeing Huang Yu flying to kill, the ghost-faced general clamped his war horse between his legs and brandished his halberd to meet him.
The steel whip and the halberd intersected, and only a dinging sound was heard, and the two horses staggered, each stabilized its body, and there was a fight.
The ghost-faced general took Huang Yufei's whip, and already knew that Huang Yufei's martial arts were extraordinary, so he didn't dare to slack off, and the battle halberd swept and slashed vertically, and issued several moves one after another.
Huang Yufei's steel whip was very heavy, but it did not show the slightest condensation when it was wielded, and it directly collided with the Ghost Face General's halberd, and did not fall behind at all.
The ghost-faced general held the halberd in both hands and shouted, and the halberd swept and hit Huang Yufei.
Huang Yufei saw that the ghost-faced general concentrated all his strength and swept over, knowing that he couldn't resist hard, his body leaned back, and the steel whip went down the castration area of the war halberd, so as not to let the war halberd press on him.
Huang Yufei clamped the horse's legs tightly, and after carrying the halberd, he immediately stood up, and the bamboo steel whip poked at the momentum, penetrating the blue and black armor of the ghost-faced general.
The Ghost-Faced General took a blow and suffered a heavy blow to his body, but he still endured the pain, lifted the halberd, and slashed at Huang Yufei's head.
Huang Yufei instigated his horse to avoid a halberd, and when he and the Ghost-faced General passed sideways, a whip hit the Ghost-faced General's back shoulder.
The Ghost-faced General screamed and shook his body a few times. Huang Yufei didn't give the enemy a chance to breathe, and immediately turned the horse's head, and he was about to whip the ghost-faced general to death.
The ghost-faced general listened to the wind behind him, his face turned cold, and with all his strength, he reflexively poked at Huang Yufei, who was killing.
Huang Yufei rushed over, but he didn't expect the enemy to be able to counterattack, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to whip at the war halberd to block the castration of the war halberd, but he was still poked in the shoulder by the war halberd.
When the ghost-faced general saw that he had poked Huang Yufei, he shouted, and he was about to pick Huang Yufei away with both hands.
When Wei Zeng saw that Huang Yufei was suddenly restrained, he wanted to let the others go to the rescue. When the Guanbei army saw the ghost face general turn defeat into victory, it was a burst of cheers.
Seeing that Huang Yufei was about to be picked, the steel whip in his hand struck the wooden pole of the war halberd, and broke the wooden pole violently. The ghost-faced general lost his focus, his body was unbalanced, and before he could have a chance to escape, Huang Yufei had already hit his head with a whip.
The Ghostface General was hit in the head and fell off his horse with a scream. Huang Yufei turned over and dismounted, pulled out the short knife at his waist, and cut off his head.
Wei Zeng saw that Huang Yufei was victorious, and as soon as he waved the flag, the northern army of Yanbei killed the enemy. Seeing that the general was killed, the morale of the Yanbei army was like a rainbow, so he commanded the army to retreat, intending to fight again in the coming day.
How could Wei Zeng miss the opportunity to defeat the Guanbei army, and when the enemy retreated, he led his troops to pursue all the way and advanced more than ten miles. (To be continued.) )
