Chapter 69: I'm Shi Xiong

Yang Hao is not the only one who is full of doubts.

Xiao Qijin, the leader of the central forest, was also confused when he received the report, and he was playing Go with his teacher, a Manichaean monk with profound legal knowledge. Little Zijin couldn't think of a reason, so he said to the person who reported the incident: "Wait until Mipo Turay cuts off that man's head, and then tell me." ”

Perhaps because the messenger's sudden intrusion disrupted Xiao Qijin's train of thought, this chess game, which was about to be won by a big victory, changed abruptly, and the situation took a sharp turn. Little Qijin began to fall into a long thought, and his teacher, Manichaean Bierliancheng, had long been accustomed to this way of being a student, he stood up, moved his legs and feet, and said to little Qijin: "Think slowly, I'll go out for a walk and come back." ”

As soon as Bil Liancheng walked out of the tent, the messenger Pegasus arrived in front of the tent: General Mipu Tuure was beheaded by General Tang!

Mipo Tuure died a bit of a wreck. The three hundred Tang troops were intercepted by two hundred-man teams soon after they left the city, two hundred and five against three hundred, half a catty against eight taels, it was originally a dragon fight, but they didn't want the situation to be one-sided as soon as they first met, the Tang army was bold and sharp, and the two hundred-man teams were scattered and collapsed in an instant.

The arrogant Mipu Tulei attributed this small victory of the Tang army to luck and did not take it very seriously. The chaotic folks finally lined up, and Mipo Tuure began to speak.

Although Mipu Tulei is arrogant, he is not unscrupulous, and his confidence comes from his three cadres: Qi Qimuge, Mo Ge, and Gulitu. Qi Qimuge and Mo Ge are both former battalion generals, each with 500 troops, and they are specially responsible for the guard duties of the Chinese army's big tent and Mipu Tulei. The camp of Qimuge was on the left, and the camp of Brother Mo was on the right, and the Tang army had just rushed through the cordon, and the two divisions had already assembled to prepare for the battle.

The two cavalry were the elite of the slave army, and thousands of people fought at the same time. Like the bite of an iron tong, it was clamped towards the lonely Tang Army. The horses used by the two teams of cavalry are also Sanyang horses like the "Iron Mask Jile", this kind of horse is slightly inferior in speed compared with the Hexi horse equipped by the Tang Army, but the difference is extremely small, and it can be ignored many times, but the explosive power of the Hexi horse is stronger than that of the Sanyang horse, and the advantage is very obvious in the short-range assault.

The Tang army, which was alone in the depths, suddenly increased its speed and rushed to the construction site on the east side of the camp desperately. These people have made up their minds to die, and they are completely in a posture of breaking the net.

"Be sure to stop them!" Qi Qimuge and Mo Ge beat the war horse desperately, and the mouths of the iron tongs instantly closed together. But in the end, it was still a step too late, and the main force of the Tang army rushed over, only clamping the rear of more than twenty horsemen. The Tang army, who had just come out of danger, did not have the slightest respite, and collided head-on with the bone force vomit that rushed down from the dirt slope. Gu Litu is a tooth general of the Chinese army, and there are only one hundred and fifty cavalry in his department, but he borrowed the advantage of the terrain well, swooped down condescendingly, and immediately cut off the incoming Tang army.

But the Tang army did not entangle with him, and after the waist was cut off, the hundred people who rushed in front did not care about the besieged comrades, but continued to charge forward. At this time, Mipo Tulei realized that the situation was serious, he had 4,000 male soldiers, and only the eighty horsemen in the pro-barracks could save him.

The pro-soldier battalion urgently assembled and quickly dispatched, but they made a fatal mistake at the beginning: the Tang army, which had rushed to the front, charged in an arrow formation, while the pro-soldier battalion, which was inferior in numbers, met the enemy in an arc formation. Before their war horses could shake off their hooves, the Tang army had already pierced the bottom of the arc like a blade, and the seven ironclad captains came through the air like arrows from the string. The person at the head was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic spirit. He sat down on the Wyvern Horse, with a knife hanging from his waist, a whip from his saddle, and a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand.

The Wyvern foal is tall, agile and fast. When Mipu Tulei first saw this Tang general, there was still a mile between them, and he forced him forward in the blink of an eye. Although his pro-military battalion met him head-on, Mipu Tulei knew very well in his heart that the general situation had gone, and he could not stop the enemy with these dozens of people. Between the battles and escapes, Mipo Toure chose to fight to the death. He stepped onto the sable horse, and the prancing horse met him with his sword.

Mipo Tuure became the first general to die in the Battle of Toyoshu.

"Someone killed General Mipo Ture." Bill Liancheng didn't seem surprised by the result.

"Zhenwu Military Academy Captain Shi Xiong!"

————

Yang Hao didn't have the opportunity to see the scene of Shi Xiong killing Mipu Tulei with his own eyes, but from the shocked, ashamed, and frightened expressions of the generals of the Slave Army, he could guess how wonderful that scene was.

Yang Hao admires Shi Xiong's courage and courage, but he does not appreciate this suicidal sneak attack tactics, in Yang Hao's view, war is a process of fighting wits and courage between one group and another, fighting wits must always be put in the first place, but there is a glimmer of hope, it should never be lightly sacrificed to fight, the heroes who died on the battlefield are admirable, but the heroes who come back alive are more valuable.

Among the thousands of troops, the head of the main general was taken, and the soldiers of the slave army were not only extremely shocked, but also extremely angry! What infantry should not confront the cavalry on flat ground, what is the ancient precept that the poor cannot be pursued exhaustively, go to his mother's, fight with him, and kill the red-eyed slave soldiers who only remember four words: blood debt and blood repayment!

Willing to cut his body, he swore to drag Shi Xiong off the horse!

Shi Xiong's companions fell one by one, and more than 300 people left the city at this time. After killing Mipu Tulei, Shi Xiong rushed up a dirt slope and glanced at the construction site of the Jiaohe River to the northeast, where nearly a thousand people were busy, but there was not even a shadow of the barrage. Shi Xiong made a whistle to his subordinates, and someone set fire to a camp tent, and for a while thick smoke billowed out, and the defenders of Fengzhou a few miles away could see it clearly. This was the code word that Shixiong had agreed with the defenders of the city: the fire showed that the barrage had not yet been built.

The battlefield moved from the northeast corner of Toyosu to the northwest of the city, and then from the northwest of the city to the south of the city. When Shi Xiong's thirty horsemen reached the west of the city, there were only twenty horsemen left, and when they reached the south of the city, they became ten horsemen. Because the armies outside the city were chasing too closely, the defenders of Toyosu saw Shixiong approaching the city gate, but they did not dare to open the door to welcome him. Shi Xiong had to move from one gate to the next.

There were originally six city gates in Fengzhou, but because of the small number of soldiers, two gates were sealed before the war. The remaining four gates are exactly one in the east, west, north and south. Outside the east gate of Yang Hao's garrison, when Shi Xiong arrived, there were only eight horsemen left, tired and tired, and blood soaked through the battle robe. The Feng'an soldiers admired his bravery, and when they saw that he was alone, they were unwilling to step forward to stop him.

Yang Hao also had the heart to let him go, so he didn't send troops to chase after him. Shi Xiong took the opportunity to lean towards the east gate, and the defenders of the east gate cheered in unison when they saw Shi Xiong's return, and hurriedly put the suspension bridge to welcome the hero. Suddenly, the golden gong at the head of the city sounded sharply, and I saw that at the junction of the Feng'an military camp and the slave barracks in the northeast, an ironclad cavalry suddenly came out, rushing over like thunder.

Shixiong's soldiers and horses were trapped, although they were closer to the city gate, but the momentum was that the slave army had arrived under the city first. Shi Xiong didn't dare to take the risk, he shouted at the city: "Close the city gate!" Then he turned his horse's head and ran toward a grove in the southeast corner of the city. When the defenders of the city saw him retreating, they hurriedly put away the drawbridge.

It was Qi Qimuge who led the army to rob the city, and seeing that the city could not be robbed, he turned his horse's head to chase Shixiong. At this time, Shi Xiong was less than a hundred steps away from the grove, and he suddenly grabbed the reins of his horse and waved his hand to signal the seven people behind him to stop. Four of these seven people are his sworn brothers, Chang Songlin, Zhang Huayang, Wan Tao and Mu Minzhong. Chang Songlin saw him stop suddenly, and asked nervously, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

"There are ambushes in the woods." Shi Xiong turned his horse's head and said, "Brothers, we have no way out. ”

Chang Songlin laughed and said: "It's better to retreat without land, let's fight with this group of minions." And they all responded.

Shi Xiong sighed, "I hurt you. ”

Zhang Huayang said: "I don't like to hear what the eldest brother said, what did we say when we got married, we have blessings and hardships." Wouldn't it be happy if we died in battle today! "All should be.

Shi Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good brother, let's let go and have a big fight with them!" ”

Everyone was about to turn around and charge, but a group of horses suddenly ran out of the forest, all of them were tall and strong Hexi horses. The bridles of the saddle were neatly trapped, and everyone looked at each other when they saw this, and Shi Xiong was the first to wake up and shouted: "Brothers, change horses quickly." The seven people also woke up at this time, this is someone secretly helping themselves.

At this moment, Qi Qimuge had also chased outside the grove, seeing that Shi Xiong's eight people were wandering and did not dare to enter the woods, they knew that there was an ambush in the woods, and they were secretly happy in their hearts. Mipu Tulei was killed, the slave army was leaderless, and Xiao Qijin sent his uncle the blind one-eyed lion king Barbarian as the main general, and the barbarian temperament was irritable, and as soon as he took office, he gave a death order to the three of them: they couldn't hold Shixiong, and the three of them were beheaded together.

Qi Muge didn't want to die, he only spent a hundred cows, three hundred sheep and a hundred silk horses to marry a Khitan girl like a flower and jade last month, and he hadn't made love to him enough, so wouldn't he have cheapened his ugly and lazy brother for nothing? Besides, the master of his own guard was killed by the enemy general under his nose, if he could not be the main general, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world?

The enemy is at hand, people are sleepy, and they are at their fingertips, but even this boiled duck can suddenly give birth to wings and fly away. Qi Qimuge saw with his own eyes that Shi Xiong and the other eight people changed horses and fled through the grove to the southeast. And when he himself chased to the edge of the woods, he was shot back by a flurry of arrows. Qi Qimu jumped like thunder, and ordered his subordinates to rush into the woods to arrest the Feng'an soldiers who were blocking. The Feng'an defenders in the grove had a group of men and horses, and when they saw the slave bonders rushing in to arrest people, they fought hard, and shot and wounded six or seven slave bonders in a row under the cover of the woods.

Qi Qimuge was furious, and was about to urge the troops to advance, but was persuaded by the bone force that came later. Gu Litu is a Shatuo person, known for his resourcefulness, he knows that the hundred and ten people who rely on the Muge are rough on the territory of the Feng'an Army, and the last one who suffers must be himself. He advised him to be patient for the time being, not to be rude,

Guli Tu then negotiated with the regimental lieutenant to whom the team belonged, and the regimental lieutenant also knew that the matter was very important and did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he reported to Li Tong. Li Tong called Gu Litu, Qi Qi Muge and the forest guards together, and asked them to speak their own ways, and Qi Qi Muge accused the Feng'an defenders of attacking friendly forces, and collaborated with the enemy to let Shi Xiong go.

The forest guards blamed Qi Qimuge for crossing the line to chase the enemy without authorization, and did not say hello, and the responsibility for the attack should be borne by himself; As for saying that the enemy let Shi Xiong go, it is even more nonsense, you said that I sent a horse to Shi Xiong, I said that I didn't, and I had to ask Shi Xiong about the authenticity, the question is whether Shi Xiong is willing to tell you.

Li Tong copied two copies of the interrogation transcript, asked the two to press their fingerprints, and then reported them to Yang Hao and Manle respectively, and they made the final decision on the merits.

The brute was short-tempered, but he was not reckless and ignorant, he knew that this public case could be big or small, and if he was not careful, he would have endless troubles, so he reported the matter to Xiao Qijin. After Yang Hao asked the reason, he informed Meng Bochang.

The lawsuit went all the way to Meng Bochang and Xiao Qijin. The two naturally did not want to hurt their harmony because of this headless case, and the final ruling was that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and everyone's nerves were highly tense, and it was natural for a misjudgment to occur. The forest guards are at fault with Qi Qimuge, and they are handed over to each of them to be trained.
