Chapter 3: The Battle of Pinghe (Part II)
Although he had been prepared in his heart, Hua Zhen still said "hey" in despair when he heard the bad news.
The wooden dragon stomped his foot heavily and thrust the spear in his hand into the ground.
The prison soldier's face turned pale, and he asked in a panic, "What should I do?" What are we going to do? ”
Hua Zhen kept in mind Chi Sheng's words, barely stabilized his mind, and said to Mu Long: "You take people and horses to quickly cross the river to rescue General Chi!" ”
Mu Long sighed, glanced at Hua Zhen and did not receive the order, and raised his voice: "Since the Zhao army has set up an ambush, it will definitely prevent us from going to the rescue, and our people are no different from sending them to death." ”
"You're afraid of death!" Hua Zhen shouted loudly.
Mu Long didn't argue with him, turned to the prison guards and asked, "What do you think, my lord?" ”
The overseer was terrified and stammered, "What did you say...... It makes sense, we don't ...... to go to the rescue...... This...... Get back...... How to explain it, alas, to save it and ......"
"I dare to assert that the Zhao people must have sent a detachment of men and horses to this side, and we won't be able to leave if we want to." The wooden dragon deliberately glanced across the river.
The overseer was even more panicked, stretched his neck to look around, rubbed his hands and said, "If you really want to ...... like that, we ...... We ......" the word "withdraw" has come to his lips, but he doesn't dare to say it, he has to lose his head with this idea, and he is not so stupid.
Mu Long couldn't wait any longer, so he waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "Escort General Hua to retreat!" ”
Although there was Chi Sheng's previous orders, but if he really wanted to see death and not be rescued, Hua Zhen still found it difficult to accept it in his heart, and the sound of war drums seemed to beat on his heart, thinking about the scene of the slaughter of the soldiers over there, Hua Jiaerlang's innate blood and pride rushed in his body, he drew a knife in his hand, and shouted to everyone: "Follow me to save the brothers!" "It was a fake show, but he had to act it into a real play.
Mu Long couldn't help frowning when he saw Hua Zhen's blood-filled pupils, and shouted to his hesitant subordinates: "What are you waiting for!" Act as ordered, and quickly escort General Hua to retreat! ”
The soldiers who stayed here were all Mulong's people, and they no longer hesitated when they heard the words, and they rushed up to grab the knife and some led the horses, and Hua Zhen also had pro-soldiers, but a few pro-soldiers just wanted to resist to no avail, and they were coerced by everyone and fled to the rear.
Mu Long stepped on the horse, saw the hand holding the gun at the sound of the war drum couldn't help shaking, turned his head to look at the back of Hua Zhen and the others leaving, hesitated for a while, suddenly roared and rode the horse to chase after him, and turned his head to look at the other side while running, and the relatives saw that tears were falling in his eyes.
Chi Sheng's trip can be said to be twelve points of caution, when he came to a valley, he ordered the army to stop, just sent a few groups of sentinels to explore the way, did not want the Zhao army to cover up from behind, the rear army was caught off guard and immediately collapsed, the panicked and fleeing soldiers quickly rushed the Chinese army and the front army, Chi Sheng's continuous shouting orders were useless, when he saw the Zhao army coming like a tide through the moonlight, his heart was completely cold, only the Zhao army that could be seen as far as his eyes could see was no less than 20,000 people, no wonder his soldiers were so panicked.
Chi Sheng knew that escaping to the valley would be a dead end, but he couldn't bear to leave so many brothers to escape alone, and besides, he had no other choice in the turbulent flow of people, so he had to try his best to straighten out the soldiers while running. Chi Sheng judged from the shouts from experience that the enemy army here was no less than 20,000 people, how could there be so many Zhao troops? This doubt flashed in his mind, and now it is useless to think about this, looking at the current situation is that Zhao Ren has already planned to kill his own team, looking at the Zhao army chasing and killing his subordinates all over the mountains, he can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, his heart is full of resentment, if it weren't for the blind command of that bastard, how could he have fallen to such a point!
When only one person was left, Chi Sheng pulled out a sharp arrow in his shoulder, and laughed miserably in the face of Zhao Jun who pounced on him, and suddenly roared to the sky: "Brothers! We died unjustly! Don't go away today, I'll take you to ask for your life! Shouting to kill himself by the neck of the knife, the burly body stood still.
Those Zhao Jun naturally didn't know that the generals of the Shun army were asking for the life of Tong Ling, and they were all shocked by the momentum of his roar, and they all felt a chill down their spines, and after waiting for a while to see that he had no movement, they cautiously stepped forward, and after confirming that they were out of breath, several people lifted the body and went back to ask for credit.
On the top of a mountain, the two generals of the Zhao army looked down on the battle situation, with a satisfied smile on their faces, the slender and tall figure was the newly promoted border commander Jiao Gong, and the other was sturdy, and the armor style on his body was different from that of the border soldiers, which seemed to be the appearance of the forbidden army.
"Congratulations to General Jiao, the king is really a wise and talented person, the general will destroy more than 10,000 enemies as soon as he takes office, and he will live up to the king's high expectations, and his promotion again is just around the corner!" Seeing that the battle situation had been decided, the general of the forbidden army smiled and said hello to Jiao Gong.
Jiao Gong laughed and said: "Lord Zhao has won the prize, the victory in this battle depends on the wise decision of the king, if it wasn't for the timely deployment of this forbidden army led by the lord, how could I win so neatly with only the few men and horses at hand?" After the war, I will definitely write down the achievements of the brothers in the forbidden army in the stamp, and you and I will share this merit, and I hope that in the future, I will say more good things for me in front of the king. "After a long time of ups and downs, Jiaogong is now much more sleek.
The name Zhao Hui, who was called Lord Zhao, was the commander of a forbidden army in charge of defending the royal city, he smiled knowingly when he heard this, and said: "There is hard work, rest assured, haha, you and my brother will be closer in the future." ”
While the two were talking and laughing, a soldier brought up Chi Sheng's body, Jiao Gong glanced at it, shook his head, and ordered: "Thick burial." Then turned to Zhao Hui, "Alas, this person is the famous general Chi Sheng of Shunguo, I have been fighting against him for many years, on courage and strategy, this person is a general, if it weren't for the help of Tongling's foolish things, we would not have been able to let him fall into the scheme so easily, although it is the enemy of the two countries, it can be seen that he died like this, and I can't help but regret it." ”
Zhao Hui glanced at the corpse, then waved his hand to the soldiers and asked them to carry it down, and said to Jiao Gong with a smile: "Heroes cherish heroes, but General Jiao should still be happy, in addition to this, the border pass of a strong enemy will be more stable." ”
Jiao Gong also smiled: "What my lord said is that you and I will be drunk and rest after a banquet will be set up to reward the soldiers." ”
Zhao Hui smiled, then showed a trace of worry on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Another way Shunjun...... It's going to be okay over there in Xiling City, right? ”
Jiao Gong patted him on the shoulder and said: "My lord, although I have ten thousand hearts, it is not for me to say big things, if it is not for the king's will in advance to keep the bronze edge, with you and me, I am confident that the two Zhao armies will not return!" ”
Zhao Hui put his mind at ease, "That's good, the king is really far-sighted, if you really wipe out these two Zhao armies, the official of Tongling will come to an end, hahaha, it is better to protect a Tongling than we add 100,000 elite soldiers, we have to wish him a long life and a hundred years of prosperity." ”
Jiao Gong almost burst out laughing, and said, "If you let Tong Ling hear what the adult says, make sure he is so angry that he vomits blood!" ”
"It's really a pleasure to join forces with General Jiao to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it's a pity, I have to go back as soon as possible after this battle." Zhao Hui is also the queen of the gate, and he has experienced this big battle very unfinished.
"Don't be in such a hurry, if you haven't fought enough, you might as well stay for a few more days, maybe there will be a battle to be fought."
Zhao Hui shook his head and sighed, "You don't know anything......"
Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Jiao Gong couldn't help but ask: "Xiping has just suffered a heavy setback, and he will not violate the border again in the near future, Wangcheng is worry-free, isn't the main battle here, my lord, please aim to defend the border for a long time." ”
Zhao Hui pursed his lips and pretended to be mysterious: "Do you know which side the king is most worried about right now?" ”
"Isn't it a war with Kangguo?" Jiao Gong asked suspiciously.
Zhao Hui said with a little smugness: "General Jiao, you guessed wrong, the king once said that Kang Guo without Mo Ju and Huayang is a tiger that has lost its claws, no matter how big it is, it is difficult to hurt people, don't forget, there is a master over there who is more difficult than Mo Ju." ”
Jiao Gong realized: "What do you mean...... He Junshi of Yi Country? ”
Zhao Hui nodded and said: "I think the king's words are only half said, and the following words are inconvenient to say clearly, I guess it should be, no matter how small the Yi country with He Ran is, it is like a snake with fangs, and a bite is enough to kill." ”
Jiao Gong hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "Since the king doesn't say it, we can't figure out the intention without permission." ”
Zhao Hui also realized that he had said too much and closed his mouth.
"Yi Guo hasn't moved, right?" Jiao Gong inquired.
"Humph! Then how could He Ran let us be idle?! has been urging us to send troops to fight Shunguo according to the previous agreement, the king said that he is trying to contain us, not let us plot against Kangguo, you say this He Ran ......, by the way, you can't spread this to the outside world, the king said, we must not be suspicious of Yi Guosheng. ”
Jiao Gong hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then frowned and said: "The king is really accurate, think about it carefully, it is really like this, He Ran and Kang Guo are inextricably linked, and they will definitely help Kang Guo at the critical moment, urging us to send troops to Shun Guo is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, we have been tired for a long time, it is really not appropriate to offend Yi Guo anymore, I have already heard thunder about the strength of He Junshi, and if I can fight with it, it will not be in vain for many years." ”
Zhao Hui grinned when he heard this, and said: "General Jiao, you are really a master of art and bold, everyone is afraid of him, but you are looking forward to fighting him." ”
Jiao Gong heard the aftermath of Zhao Hui's words, and felt that he was too sharp, so he hurriedly smiled: "Talking nonsense for a while, don't laugh, my lord has been guarding here since the army, how can I be well-informed, and I hope that the adult will mention more in the future." ”
Zhao Hui listened to these words much more comfortably, and said humbly: "Where is it, the general has been on the battlefield for a long time, just looking at the battle, you can know that he is a resourceful and good general, if he really meets that He Ran, I don't think it is without a chance of winning." ”
Jiao Gong snorted inwardly, the light in his eyes flashed, and he smiled and took Zhao Hui's hand and walked down the mountain.
