Chapter 682: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Xiaoai River (continued)

As a commander general, the most humiliating thing is that his every move is counted to death by his opponent, and he has fallen into a trap and thinks he has a plan and is complacent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Zuxun, who relied on Yao Chang's desperate efforts to block the enemy and escaped from Xiaoai River in a panic, is now full of shame in his heart. The fourth watch out of the city, the right to attack the city at this time, a straight fist fiercely smashed on their soft flank, at this time the situation of the two sides, just like a half-crossing attack, looking back, can only be a strong man to break his wrist, with a soldier's sacrifice in exchange for more people to escape.

The wounded soldiers were all left behind to assist in defending the city, their fate can be imagined, the only thing that comforted Zhou Zuxun a little was that the nearly 2,000 soldiers who were now following him were intact and would not drag down the journey of the entire army. But he did not dare to slack off, out of the city, the opponent's field ability will be maximized, and his own cavalry has been lost, but the opponent's cavalry battalion has almost no losses, Zhou Zuxun did not dare to take the big road, can only pick some country roads, remote mountain roads, and hurry, in order to avoid the opponent's strong cavalry attack.

Yao Chang's desperate resistance only earned him less than an hour, riding on a horse, standing on a high place and looking back, he could even see a fire dragon winding for miles, coming towards this side with a magnificent momentum.

"It's really going to be killed!" Zhou Zuxun gritted his teeth and said, "When we get to the Crowque Ridge, I will fight you to the death!" ”

Li Feng hurriedly destroyed the cavalry under his command, four hooves of the wind, all the way after the chase, but until the sky was bright, did not see the shadow of the other party, the scout in front told Li Feng the news that Zhou Zuxun had entered the mountain trail, Li Feng was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, the mountain is steep, the road is rugged, the forest is high and the grass is dense, this kind of terrain is not conducive to cavalry combat, when it really enters this kind of terrain, the invincible cavalry on the plain can become the target of the other party.

"Let's go down the avenue and go ahead to intercept them!" Li Feng raised his horsewhip.

"But General Li, we take the avenue, we have to take a long detour, the other party takes the mountain road, although it is steep, but it is a shortcut, calculate the time, or we will suffer!" Scout said.

"you!" Li Feng scolded: "I still don't believe it, they have two legs, they can outrun my four legs, go!" ”

Li Feng's four legs did not run over Zhou Zuxun's two legs, knowing that there were pursuers, once they were caught up, it would be a tragedy, so the Qinzhou soldiers played beyond imagination, all the way over the mountains and mountains, when they went down the mountain and reappeared on the avenue, the distance between Li Feng and them was farther than before.

But from now on, their speed will be far behind the other party, and there will be no shortcuts from here to Yaque Ridge, only the avenue. Therefore, although the Qinzhou soldiers who came down the mountain have had a lead of more than two hours, this period of lead will be slowly worn away on the subsequent road.

The sun had already set, and after a day's march over the mountains, the troops were exhausted, and many of the weaker soldiers were already crumbling when they came down the mountain road, and they seemed to be unable to stand even on their feet.

Zhou Zuxun looked at the situation of his subordinates and knew that if he forcibly marched again, the troops would be tired and overwhelmed, and they had to rest and rest.

"The whole army repaired on the spot for half an hour, and after half an hour, the whole army set off as a team, and the target was Yaque Ridge!" As soon as Zhou Zuxun's words came out, the soldiers who were weak and standing on the road immediately let out a breath, their legs were weak, and they sat on the ground one after another. Some even lay on their backs on the ground.

"Half an hour, you have to eat, drink, sleep, all have to be done in half an hour!" The heralds rode on horseback and galloped across the avenue.

Many soldiers took out dry food indiscriminately, stuffed a few mouthfuls into their mouths, and then lay down on the ground with their clothes, and seized the time to rest, and some even ate half of the dry food, and still had unfinished dry food in their mouths, so they fell asleep like this.

Zhou Zuxun also got off the horse, sat on the side of the road, while offering dry food and water to his own soldiers, Zhou Zuxun barely ate a few bites, and then couldn't eat anymore, Xiao Aihe was lost like this, the entire Qinling defense line was torn out of a big hole, General Zhou's dream of defending on the first line of Qinling was shattered, it is very likely that the entire defense line will be forced to shrink, no one could have imagined that the Dingzhou army would launch an offensive without warning, originally thought that the Qinling defense line would have plenty of time to operate.

It must be the incident of the staff department hijacking Dingzhou Shang Haibo since this period of time, Zhou Zuxun gritted his teeth, his hands were full of muscles, Shang Haibo is an important person in Dingzhou, even if he has been deprived of his rights, Xia Ye is at home, how can he easily move, this time it's okay, Shang Haibo got it away, Dingzhou's revenge will come immediately, the most hateful thing is that before the staff department acted, he did not inform General Zhou, otherwise General Zhou would definitely ask the front line to be prepared for war.

"Dog's day, it will make waves!" Zhou Zuxun scolded hatefully. I really don't know what the staff went to Dingzhou to kidnap Shang Haibo for? If the Qinling defense line is completely completed, Xiaoaihe is not the current tofu scum city defense, and the Dingzhou army wants to break through the city defense, how easy it is to talk about!

"General Zhou, half an hour has arrived!" Seeing Zhou Zuxun sitting on the ground and gritting his teeth, a partial general came over and reminded.

Raising his eyes and glancing at his subordinates who were lying on the ground, Zhou Zuxun ordered: "Let the brothers sleep for another quarter of an hour!" ”

"But General Zhou, it's the cavalry that the other party is chasing!" The general reminded.

Zhou Zuxun glared and said, "Didn't I know that the other party was a cavalryman?" And what about the cavalry, can they run on their horses all day without sleep? Can a man stand it, but can a horse stand it? They don't ride Pegasus horses, they have to rest, otherwise the horses will be exhausted and collapsed! ”

"Yes, General Zhou!" Seeing Zhou Zuxun's hair standing upside down, the general hurriedly retreated.

Zhou Zuxun looked at the direction of Yaqueling, it was only less than half a day's journey from the Yaqueling Military Village, and he should be able to get there before the other party caught up with him, but unfortunately, if God helped, it would be good if there was a heavy rain, the heavy rain would slow down his speed, but the opponent's cavalry would be affected more, and he would take advantage of it. But looking at the starry sky above him, Zhou Zuxun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Zuxun stood up and stepped on his horse, and the officers shouted loudly for the soldiers to get up and hurry, and when they encountered those who really couldn't wake up, they kicked over unceremoniously.

The assembled Qinzhou army took advantage of the night to rush all the way in the direction of Yaque Ridge. As Zhou Zuxun expected, Li Feng's troops went around in a big circle, and the horses that had been running for a day also needed to rest, and the cavalry on the horses were also tired, so they had to rest for a longer time to let the horses recover their strength.

When the two sides set off again, the distance between the two sides remained more than two hours, but as time passed, the distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching.

At midnight, the weather changed suddenly, and the dark clouds moved rapidly from the sky, obscuring the stars, followed by a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, and blowing up dust that made it impossible to open their eyes.

Zhou Zuxun was overjoyed, looked up to the sky and laughed: "God help me, God, thank you, when I arrive at Yaque Ridge, I will definitely worship you with three animals." Tell the order to go down, don't stay, keep going! Hahaha, cavalry, I'll see how you catch up with me! ”

Contrary to Zhou Zuxun's ecstatic *** God, the current Li Feng is under the curse of the heavens, the sudden wind makes his cavalry brigade crawl like a turtle on the avenue, and the oncoming wind and sand make the horse unable to open his eyes at all.

"General Li, stop for the time being, and wait for the gale to pass before chasing!" One lieutenant suggested: "Such a big wind and sand is really not suitable for marching!" ”

Li Feng said angrily: "Will the enemy stop, if you promise that the enemy can stop, we will stop, you say, can you guarantee it?" ”

The lieutenant bowed his head wordlessly.

"If the other party can go, we can also go, order all the soldiers to dismount me, blindfold the horses, people lead the horses, such a strong wind, it won't blow for long!" After saying the order, he jumped off his horse first, took out the blindfold from the horse's tartar coat, blindfolded the horse, and took the reins himself, and walked forward step by step with difficulty.

Seeing Li Feng taking the lead, the generals of the Yizhou battalion who were his pawns all jumped off their horses silently, followed Li Feng's example, blindfolded the horse, took the reins of the horse, and advanced with difficulty in the wind.

The gale hung for an hour or two, and finally stopped, so strong, but did not blow away the dark clouds in the sky, faintly heard above the clouds, there was a rumbling thunder, the thunder became louder and louder, and finally, a lightning bolt tore through the thick clouds, and in an instant the earth was delicately illuminated. With a thunderclap, the raindrops the size of beans fell with a loud sound.

"Thief, ghost!" Li Feng scolded and looked forward to the wind stopping for a few hours, but the wind stopped, but the rain came.

Heavy rain pours, the road here is not like Dingzhou, there are solid three-way soil mixed with gravel paved road, no matter how heavy the rain falls, it will not affect the walking, here, the rain is only a short while, the ground is muddy and difficult to walk, the front team is better, the back is simply in the quagmire difficult trek.

The sky is gradually brightening, the rain is small, from the previous pouring rain to the current dripping, more than 2,000 Qinzhou soldiers have become soup chickens, the rain slid down their helmets to their faces, and then fell down dripping, a night of hard work in the wind and rain, but their faces were full of excitement, because the cavalry behind them should have been thrown farther away by them, and the danger has gradually gone away, because it will not take much time for them to reach the Yaqueling military village, there, They still have more than 5,000 troops who have been evacuated in advance, and after the two sides converge, if the opponent does not relentlessly chase after them, they will even have the opportunity to fight back and make the other party suffer a little.

A big stone in Zhou Zuxun's heart finally fell, and his heart was relaxed, but he felt sore all over.

There was a sudden commotion in front of him, Zhou Zuxun was startled, and saw a large number of figures at the front of the team, scattered formations, and crazy figures, and looking at their outfits, it was the Qinzhou army.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zuxun asked loudly.

The Qinzhou soldiers on the avenue quickly separated, and then, a general with scattered clothes and armor rushed over on horseback, and when he was still a dozen steps away from Zhou Zuxun, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, and ran all the way over, "General, General Zhou, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

When Zhou Zuxun fixed his eyes, it turned out to be Zhou Bin who led the team to evacuate in advance, at this time Zhou Bin lost his armor, his hair was scattered, and he was covered in mud, if he hadn't opened his mouth, he really wouldn't have recognized him when he opened his eyes.

A heart slowly sank, and Zhou Zuxun asked word by word: "You, why are you here?" What about your troops? ”

Zhou Bin raised his head, his face was obviously stabbed, and the blood on the wound had already stopped, but when he was drenched in water, the white flesh and blood at the wound rolled out, which was indescribably hideous and terrifying. Zhou Bin cried and said: "General Zhou, when I arrived at the Yaqueling Military Fortress, it had already been occupied by the Dingzhou army, and by surprise, the last general was ambushed by the other party, 5,000 men and horses, most of the damage was damaged, and I escaped with strong wind and rain, lost and scattered, and now there are only more than 1,000 people still with the last general!" ”

With a bang, Zhou Zuxun opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person was also shaky on the horse, and Zhou Bin, who was sprayed with blood, was shocked, grabbed a step forward, and held Zhou Zuxun, "General Zhou, General Zhou!" ”

"There are still soldiers from the Dingzhou Army to occupy the Yaqueling Military Village, where are the soldiers from them?" Zhou Zuxun hissed and roared.

"It's a plum fruit, a plum fruit of aconitum." Zhou Bin cried bitterly, "General Zhou, we have been deceived, they are not building the dam at all to release water to rush the city, but to trick us out of the city." ”

With a mouthful, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and at this moment, Zhou Zuxun finally figured out all of Guan Xinglong's battle plan in his mind, and suddenly fainted under the urgency. There was a moment of chaos in the field.

When Zhou Zuxun came to his senses, he was greeted by anxious faces, and the surviving officers were all looking at him with blank eyes.

"Zhou Bin, how many people are there on the other side? How far away are we? Zhou Zuxun asked in a low voice.

"General, they have more than 5,000 people, and after fighting with us, the losses will not be too great, less than an hour away from us." Zhou Bin replied.

"Help me up!" With the support of the generals, Zhou Zuxun slowly stood up, looking at the desperate faces on the avenue, Zhou Zuxun couldn't help but feel sad, the end of the road, it turned out to be like this.

An hour later, Li Guo's infantry battalion arrived first, and more than 3,000 Qinzhou troops lined up along the hillside, row by row, line by row, and lined up for more than 100 meters.

"Turtle son, finally stop running!" Li Guo scolded and scolded, although he tried his best, he still let Zhou Bin lead more than 1,000 people to break through, which made him quite unhappy, seeing that he finally caught up with the opponent, and finally had a place to vent his evil anger.

"Array, ready for battle!" Li Guo shouted loudly. The Dingzhou army that followed closely quickly formed an attack formation, and more than a dozen triangular pyramid attack formations were quickly lined up, and each cone was standing with Dingzhou officers.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, Li Guo looked back, but it was Li Feng's cavalry that finally arrived at the last moment, the cavalry was equipped, Li Feng's Yizhou battalion cavalry everyone had a raincoat at this time, riding on a horse, and trotted all the way over, Li Feng, who was at the head, hurriedly drove the horses, and shouted loudly: "Li Guo, Li Guo, wait for me, I'm coming!" ”

Li Guo grinned, although he and Li Feng had a big official position in the Dingzhou Army, Li Feng's identity was not comparable to him, and it was conceivable that Li Feng's future was far greater than him, so although he was ready to attack, he could only stop and wait for Li Feng.

"Li Guo, you're coming so fast!" Li Feng turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Li Guo, and patted his chest, "Dog, last night a gust of wind and a heavy rain stopped me alive, otherwise, there would be nothing to do with you, they were raised by a son of a bitch, they are really lucky!" ”

Li Guo said with a smile: "Their luck is good, but their good luck has also come to an end, these thousands of remnants are defeated, and if they can't stop us from attacking once, they will fall apart." ”

"Li Guo, did you bring your ballista? Let's bang him first! Looking up at the hillside, Li Feng frowned, this angle is not conducive to cavalry attacks1

"They're slipping as fast as rabbits, and I've had time to bring these things there, and they're still following behind, but there's no need to deal with them now!" Li Guodao.

"Good brother, move the formation and give me a place to come out!" Li Feng begged.

Li Guo said in surprise: "This slope is a little steeper, your cavalry is not easy to attack!" Let me do it first. ”

Li Feng said with a smile: "It is difficult for infantry to become cavalry, there are no horses, but it is not difficult for cavalry to become infantry, everyone, dismount and line up!" Li Feng turned his head and shouted. The cavalry of the Yizhou battalion dismounted one after another, and after a while, they formed an attacking infantry formation.

Zhou Zuxun sat on a big rock in the middle of the mountainside, looking down at the bottom of the mountain, where nearly 10,000 Dingzhou troops have been gathered, with flags and forests, swords and guns like a forest, one by one, feather arrows have been set up, and only one order is needed, and his subordinates will usher in a rain of arrows.

"General, let's go, go into the mountains, there is still a glimmer of life." Zhou Bin said.

Zhou Zuxun sat there silently and shook his head, "I have already abandoned Yao Chang once, and I will never abandon you again." ”

"General, staying here can only be a dead end, we are exhausted, the soldiers are weak, this battle is no longer able to fight, we are just doing our best, general, you better go, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Zhou Bin said urgently.

Zhou Zuxun smiled bitterly, "But Qingshan is no more!" Zhou Bin, you send someone down the mountain and tell the Dingzhou general who commanded the army, I, Zhou Zuxun, have surrendered! ”

"Ahh Zhou Bin was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, "General, what did you say?" ”

"I've decided to surrender!" Zhou Zuxun stood up: "We have done our best, and the soldiers have done our best, but we are no longer able to fight, there is no need to let the brothers go to death and surrender needlessly, at least the brothers can still see their relatives and set foot on their homeland." ”

"General?" What did Zhou Bin want to say.

Zhou Zuxun shook his head: "Zhou Bin, you don't need to persuade me, do you want to say that if I surrender, I will be ruined?" It doesn't matter, I'm ruined, and it's worth it to save the lives of so many brothers. ”

Zhou Bin lowered his head.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Feng pulled out the steel knife, and when he was about to give the order to attack, the knife was held in the air, but it could not fall any longer, because among the Qinzhou soldiers on the mountain, he suddenly picked out a high, windward white flag, and the formation of the Qinzhou soldiers was also separated from it, and behind the white flag, a tall general held his helmet in his arms and was walking towards the mountain step by step.

The other party actually chose to surrender at this time.

It's a painful thing to choose a chapter name, and it makes people cry! The names of these chapters are indeed quite two, but the gunslinger assures that the title of the next chapter will never be Xiao Aihe's attack and defense.

Hide your face and leave. The wooden face has seen people!
