Chapter 128: Collect the Black Armor Army
"General, let's withdraw quickly!"
The situation was already very obvious, first Chen Nuo's Black Armor Army joined the Xiliang cavalry that was against Hu Chi'er, and then Gao Shun rushed over at the right time, broke his ambush and rescued Colonel Zuo. In this way, Hu Chi'er suffered from both sides, and he felt the tension of the war for a while. On Hu Chi'er's side, the soldiers around him fell one by one, and the guards who were still guarding him were already chilling in the face of the tragic situation. Reason asked them to dissuade Hu Chi'er, not wanting him to continue to make risks.
If you don't leave, once you wait for the people on both sides to attack, it is estimated that Hu Chi'er will not be able to go again.
Although Hu Chi'er was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, he still chose to compromise.
"Withdraw!"
Hu Chi'er gritted his teeth, dropped the order, and immediately turned around with a bloody knife. It's impossible to continue the fight, but if you want to escape, it's easy in this dense forest. He turned around, only took some henchmen and others to flash into the dense forest next to him, walked the mountain road and turned back, and soon got rid of the people and horses of Tianwangzhai. It's just a pity that many of the subordinates who followed Hu Chi'er's desperate efforts didn't know that their general had abandoned them.
The remaining Xiliang soldiers plus those who caught up from behind added up to three or five hundred, and when they knew that the general was gone, they didn't even have the heart to resist, and surrendered directly. Zhang Baiqi still wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but he was only persuaded by Chen Nuo for two sentences, and he gave up chasing Hu Chi'er. After all, Hu Chi'er walked on a mountain road, and it was not easy to catch him, even if he released all the people and horses of Tianwangzhai, it was like a needle in the sea in the huge mountainous area, and it would not work at all. What's more, defeating Hu Chi'er was enough for Xiliang not to underestimate them from now on. If you have already taught them a lesson, why should you put them to death?
"It's too late for the end, ask the general to punish you!"
Chen Nuo had just gathered the Black Armor Army, counted the people, and found that after several battles, the number of the Black Armor Army was only one hundred and fifty people, which was exactly half of the number when he came, which was embarrassing. Chen Nuo was appeasing everyone here, and before he could say a word, Gao Shun came over with the 800 Green Forest Village people and asked Chen Nuo for his guilt.
Speaking of which, Gao Shun was originally late in sending his troops, but he suddenly encountered the Xiliang cavalry on the way, so he was late. Come to think of it, they and Xiliang rode a narrow road, and it is indeed dangerous, if under normal circumstances, the group of untrained bandits behind him saw that Xiliang rode and probably didn't start fighting, they had to be scattered by Xiliang riding first, how to talk about fighting? However, fortunately, they had Gao Shun's leadership, and in an emergency, they set up a 'spear array' in the middle of the road to deal with Xiliang Cavalry at the first level. Although speaking of his 'spear array', it is inevitably too simple, not to mention the rude weapons, and there is not even a basic defensive shield, so it is said that it will not play a role, where can it withstand the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry? But fortunately, he set up three arrays, one broken and two broken, and two broken and three broken. The three arrays are interlocking, but they are also difficult to entangle.
Of course, it is impossible to expect these three 'spear arrays' to trap and kill the hundred horsemen who rushed up from front to back in Xiliang. The role of the three formations is just to 'tie' them, and once Xiliang Cavalry experiences the fetters of these three 'gun arrays' before and after, it cannot be broken for a while, first of all, they lose the advantage of rushing and killing, and second, the momentum will inevitably decline. In this way, coupled with the joint attack of the men and horses who had been ambushed on both sides of the mountain road in advance, it was not difficult to solve the group of Xiliang horses.
So Gao Shun repelled this group of Xiliang horses, and by the way, he saved the fifth king of Hutou Village, that is, he led his troops all the way to Tianwangzhai and continued to come. It also happened that he hadn't entered Tianwangzhai yet, and first encountered Hu Chi'er's ambush of Zuo Colonel. And he, although he didn't know in advance, he knew what he should do as soon as he saw Xiliang people. Under his leadership, he quickly broke through the outer defense line of this group of Xiliang ambush soldiers, and rescued Colonel Zuo and others. has been assisting Zuo Colonel to pacify the Xiliang thieves in front, and Gao Shun hurriedly brought the people from his headquarters to see him.
That Chen Nuo looked forward to Gao Shun coming day and night, that is, on the way to Tianwangzhai first, he deliberately slowed down his pace and slowed down the one-day journey to do two days, just to wait for him halfway. It's just that seeing that everyone has entered the Tianwang Village to 'watch the ceremony', but Gao Shun is still missing, Zhu Rong Qingyi and others have already complained, and they are sure that Gao Shun will probably not come. Probably, at that time, if there was anyone who firmly believed that Gao Shun could come, it was probably Chen Nuo.
However, believing is believing, but he has to bear some heart. After all, the road to Tianwangzhai is not very smooth, there are often Xiliang riding haunts, he didn't see Gao Shun, and he was worried that Gao Shun would meet Xiliang again and be entangled by the other party. But fortunately, all the problems in front of him are no longer a problem, Gao Shun can come, and there is no better result than this. He comforted Gao Shun at the moment and said some reassuring words. At this time, Zhang Sheng next to him walked up with Wang Wu, saying that he wanted to thank Gao Shun. Chen Nuo asked, only then did he know the whole story.
Previously, he was also counting on Zhang Sheng's Hutouzhai people to be able to help, so that he could pull Xiliang's heels from behind, disperse some Xiliang's forces, and delay Xiliang's footsteps into the mountain. It's just that he only knew that after he asked Zhang Sheng to radiate the signal of the fireworks, he didn't see a single Hutou villager for half a night, and he had already muttered in his heart and felt a little worried. It's Zhang Sheng, his eyelids are also jumping all the time, and he doesn't know what happened.
Of course, Zhang Sheng dared to hand over hundreds of men and horses to Wang Wu and Zhang Si, so he naturally trusted them, and he didn't have to worry that they would abduct and deceive this group of people. It's just that he didn't see anyone all night, and there were no footprints of his subordinates when he came down the mountain, how could he feel at ease? Fortunately, with the arrival of Gao Shun, he saved Wang Wu halfway, Wang Wu told him what happened before and after, and he only knew what was going on, and he just took the opportunity to thank Gao Shun to tell Chen Nuo the reason.
Chen Nuo is not an unreasonable person, so naturally he didn't say anything. It's just that Hutou Village almost poured out of the nest this time, and hundreds of people and horses were killed by Xiliang Cavalry, and there were only one or two hundred people left, which can be described as a heavy loss. That Zhang Sheng had a plan in his heart, so he simply played Laipi, and said with Chen Nuo and said: "I think that in order to cheer for General Chen, Zhang Sheng almost pulled the people of Hutou Village into it at once, and almost became a bare pole." I remember that General Chen said before that as long as the general is there for a day, I will be rich for a day, I wonder if the general's words are still serious? ”
When Chen Nuo heard it, he immediately said: "What I Chen Nuo said is a spit and a pit, is there any truth about it?" ”
"Well, in that case, then please General Chen, you can take me and my brothers in custody. I will never be the leader of this bullshit tiger head village from now on, and I will also learn from General Gao Shungao, and beg for a bite to eat in the hands of the general, and the general will give me a 'hundred generals' or something like that, do you think it's good? ”
Zhang Sheng's idea had not been discussed with his subordinates in advance, and when he said it rashly, his subordinates were all stunned. Although I often can't eat enough to be a bandit, but fortunately, I am free, if I enter the barracks, how can I have such a 'lawless' life as I am now? They understood this, and immediately many people screamed, wanting to find Zhang Sheng's theory, Zhang Sheng glared back with one eye, and the others immediately closed their mouths. Even when Chen Nuo heard it, he was slightly stunned.
Chen Nuo said: "It's not that this matter is non-negotiable, it's just that Brother Zhang Sheng, you have to abide by my rules when you enter my military camp, can you stand it?" Even if you can stand it, can one of your subordinates stand it? I don't think you need to be in a hurry to ask me to be an official, why don't you go back and discuss with your subordinates first, and when the discussion is over, there will be no more opinions, and it will not be too late to come to General Ben. ”
When Zhang Sheng heard this, he stomped his feet and said: "What else to discuss, I want to come to my Hutou Village and him Xiliang after today's incident, if I killed Hu Chi'er in one go, it's good to say, but now he Hu Chi'er ran back, if he leads the troops to take revenge again, how can I deal with him with only one or two hundred people left in my Hutou Village?" If he rushes to the battle then, it is better to join General Chen's side now. Hehe, as long as General Chen is here, he Xiliang will never dare to be presumptuous easily. ”
Looking at Zhang Sheng's tiger brain, it turned out that it was this ghost idea. Only Chen Nuo hadn't spoken yet, but Gao Shun said to Zhang Sheng next to him: "If it's because of this, I don't think you have to worry about Leader Zhang at all." ”
Zhang Sheng saw that Gao Shun was confident, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked him: "General Gao, how can you say this with such certainty, do you think General Gao is a good person in Xiliang, and this dumb man will eat it if he loses?" Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Of course not!" Although they have the heart to take revenge, they also have to have this opportunity, right? What's more, they are now afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, so how can they account for some gains and losses here? Boss Zhang, don't worry, I guess they won't trouble you Hutouzhai. ”
"Hey, General Gao, what did you say? How can you be so sure, I think you're not that Niu General. ”
Although Gao Shun's words were good words, Zhang Sheng still didn't feel at ease when he heard it, thinking that it was to appease him, so he naturally couldn't believe it, and he couldn't help but say a few words.
It was Chen Nuo, who was also moving at this time, thinking about it. Hearing Gao Shun say such a thing so firmly, it was clearly a bit unfathomable, could it be because he had heard some news before? At this time, I saw Gao Shun's voice suddenly turn, and said to Zhang Sheng: "Leader Zhang, I won't say anything about this, haven't you heard of Leader Zhang?" ”
Seeing that he asked so mysteriously, he frowned: "What's the matter?" What have I heard? ”
"Of course it's Chang'an, haven't you heard about it?"
As soon as Gao Shun said this, Zhang Sheng didn't have anything yet, but Chen Nuo moved: "Chang'an? What's going on over there in Chang'an? ”
Gao Shun heard Chen Nuo's question, glanced at Chen Nuo dumbly, and said, "Didn't the general hear that Dong Zhuo had been ambushed?" ”
"What? Dong Zhuo ...... He's dead? ”
Chen Nuo blurted out, shocked for a long time.
Speaking of which, he came in a hurry all the way, the purpose of which was to go to Chang'an to see Dong Zhuo and save his 'parents'. However, now that the 'parents' have not been saved, Dong Zhuo has died, how can Chen Nuo not be shocked? At this moment, his head turned rapidly, and something suddenly occurred to him. Come to think of it, when he was still in Yanshi before, there was a sudden movement in his heart one day, and he felt something. At that time, he didn't know what this 'what' was, only that there was something important that he seemed to have overlooked. He didn't remember it at the time, but now that he suddenly heard Dong Zhuo's death, he finally seemed to suddenly come to his senses.
He grinned, and really wanted to laugh: "It turns out that I did a lot of calculations, but in the end I ignored the most important point!" ”
The most important point is naturally Dong Zhuo's death.
Thinking about it, he can settle down in Yanshi first and then come to Chang'an, save people on Chang'an Road by the way, and have a relationship with the green forest forces, so as to lay out the layout for the future. However, although his idea was good, he ignored that Dong Zhuo couldn't afford to wait for him at all, and he didn't expect Dong Zhuo's deadline to arrive so soon. Although he had 'foresight' because of his identity as a time-traveler, he should be a little more sensitive to this matter than others, but in the end he was ignored by himself.
But now that he thinks about it, even if he thought about it at the time, or had some kind of mental preparation before this, it is not so simple to be foolproof. You must know that it is impossible for him not to settle his men and horses before coming to Chang'an, and it is impossible that he will not encounter some unexpected things on the way to Chang'an. Since these are impossible to avoid, then what should come is still coming, and he can't stop it.
It's just that now that Dong Zhuo is dead, what will happen to his 'parents'? Will they encounter any mishaps as a result? However, Chen Nuo quickly dismissed this idea. Come to think of it, if his cheap 'parents' had met with an accident, he would have been alert. You must know that when he came to Chang'an, he was forced by another soul in his body, and the soul inside was disturbed at the slightest disturbance, which made his head hurt. Thinking about it, if something happens to his cheap 'parents', the owner of the body, 'Chen Nuo', believes that he will not let him go.
But speaking of which, his head suddenly hurt a few times a few days ago, probably because Dong Zhuo's death caused difficulties to the cheap 'parents', which made the soul of the body owner uneasy. If so, maybe this matter is not as bad as imagined, after all, since the pain a few days ago, these days are also good, it seems that his 'parents' should have no problem for the time being.
However, when he thought about it again, he thought that his head hurt badly when he mentioned the name of 'Dong Zhuo' before, but just now he called the name of 'Dong Zhuo', but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, probably because Dong Zhuo was dead.
Although Dong Zhuo is dead, his cheap 'parents' are still in Chang'an after all, it seems that it is necessary to take care of the affairs here as soon as possible, so let's go to Chang'an quickly. Chen Nuo was thinking wildly, and the changes in his facial expressions were also extremely rich, and Gao Shun was also puzzled when he saw it next to him. However, seeing that he said a word, Chen Nuo was stunned for a long time, thinking that he shouldn't say it, so he immediately said again: "Ahem! Of course, if you want to come to General Chen, you have been running around for the affairs of Tianwangzhai all the way, and it is not surprising that you don't have the kung fu to know these things. I only heard rumors about it on the way when I came before, and I didn't know much earlier than you, general. ”
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo died on April 24, and now it is the beginning of May, and the news from there has only now arrived, but it is not surprising at all. After all, the traffic was not smooth at that time, and the news was naturally delivered slowly, and by the time the news came, most of the things had already passed for a while. And Chen Nuo, the reason why he knew the news later than Gao Shun was just as Gao Shun said, because the matter of Tianwangzhai fettered him, but he didn't hear the news in time.
As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, before Chen Nuo could speak, another person flashed out behind him. When Chen Nuo saw it, it was Lei Gong.
Lei Gong bowed his hand to Chen Nuo, and hurriedly thanked him for saving his life last night. Chen Nuo comforted him a few words, and when he heard him say that he was going back to Montenegro, he didn't say much, but only asked him to bring a few good words to Zhang Yan and Sun Qing. When Lei Gong heard this, he naturally nodded in agreement, but he just didn't move. Zhang Sheng next to him saw it and bluffed him: "What, Lei Shuai, you still don't leave, are you still going to pass the Black Mountain Order to my Hutou Village?" ”
"No, no, no......"
Lei Gong's face turned red, and he hurriedly arched his hand towards Chen Nuo, pinched the hammer, and walked forward. However, his walk was three steps and two turns, a little reluctant. Chen Nuo laughed in his heart, naturally he knew what Lei Gong's move meant, and when he walked out of his hand, he patted his head, hurriedly called back Lei Gong, and said with a smile: "Lei Shuai, look at my head, but I forgot this most important thing." Come to think of it, how can I let Lei Shuai go back empty-handed, Lei Shuai should bring back all the Black Armor Army. ”
"Great!"
Lei Gong's heart is naturally worried about this black armor army, but the black armor army has been commanded by Chen Nuo all night, and he doesn't know what is going on, it seems that he has a little recognition of him, he tried to go back, but there was no black armor army to speak, which made him quite embarrassed. It's just that don't look at him as a big man, but he is very vague in terms of human feelings, because he received Chen Nuo's life-saving grace, he valued Chen Nuo. Once Chen Nuo has weight in his mind, it is necessary to go to the soup and fight the fire, and he naturally can't pull his skin to ask for Chen Nuo's detention of his Black Armor Army.
He hadn't said anything at this time, his head turned, and his mouth was beaten and he hurriedly said, "No, no!" I think these black armor soldiers will follow you, General Chen, I think they are more willing to follow you General Chen than me. ”
Although Chen Nuo said that he would return the Black Armor Army, he had no intention of returning it, and still put the Black Armor Army behind him. When he heard it at this time, he excused himself twice, but when he saw that he couldn't excuse himself, he reluctantly smiled and said: "In this way, then Chen Mou is disrespectful, Lei Shuai will thank Zhang Dashuai on my behalf when he goes back!" ”
