Chapter 127: Battle Hardship
At this time, Luo Xingtian also thought of this problem, now in Chongcheng, there is no place to stay, he thought about it, first put the army and Liu Felling soldiers together, the surrounding barbarians are also difficult to attack for a while, and the location is also very hidden.
Under the grinding stone ridge, Suo Shot has slowly turned around, seeing that the sky is already bright, he is also slowly sobering up, the morning wind is pressing, hitting the face like a knife cut, but this can't make Suo Shot feel better.
"Send scouts and immediately find out the location of the Han army." Suo Shot's eyes were blank, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, and the kneeling guard received the military order, and was about to go out, but Suo Shot whispered again: "Wait, this matter ...... Report it! ”
After hesitating for a moment, Suo Jie still felt that the overall situation should be taken into account, and the nearly 10,000 troops flowing on his own territory were definitely a huge threat.
He didn't dare to imagine that if the nearly 10,000 army was led by Luo Xingtian to kill back to Chongcheng, there would be a few warriors left in Chongcheng.
Standing in the faint sunlight, Suo Shot looked at the sky, he couldn't feel a trace of warmth, and looked back at the soldiers under his command, and he looked wilted, there was no morale at all, now the granary in the army was destroyed, the fire burned all night, and if he wanted to put out the fire, the military tent was completely useless, so it was better to let the brothers under his command roast the fire and keep warm.
Thousands of troops sat all night under this millstone ridge, waiting for Suo Shot to wake up, Suo Shot has always been arbitrary in the army, and the soldiers under his command did not listen to his military orders, as soon as Suo Shot fell, the morale fell to the bottom in an instant, it should have been the time to bury the pot and make food, but how could there be food and grass in the army?
The scouts were immediately sent out, several scouts went in different directions, but at this time, there were still a few scouts rushing towards the side of Moshi Ridge, Qin Tianzhao was finally a beat slower, and when he was late, Luo Xingtian had been rescued by Liu Fan, but now he still had an advantage, because he was Qin Wen's son.
Qin Tianzhao's speed of marching in the mountains was not slow, but he encountered a lot more obstacles along the way than Liu Fa, and he lost the opportunity.
"What, something happened under the Millstone Ridge."
This news really surprised Qin Tianzhao, he was originally thinking about how to break the Grinding Stone Ridge and add a block to the barbarians, but he didn't expect that the Grinding Stone Ridge was broken before him.
Who is it?
Qin Tianzhao didn't want to think about Liu Fan, he didn't think that Liu Fa could do it, he was not convinced from the beginning, why did Liu Fa receive such a weight from the beginning, you must know that you have not been treated so kindly by your father.
"Retreat, don't go to Millstone Ridge." The Millstone Ridge has been broken, and now there is no point in going to the Millstone Ridge again, it is better to find a place to settle down first, Qin Tianzhao suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as if after Liu Fa came to the Southern Prison, he was particularly unsuccessful.
At this time, Liu Fa was actually not very far away from Qin Tianzhao, and the barbarians would not have thought that there was a small team of 20,000 around this millstone ridge, which was enough to threaten Chenguan.
"It's not advisable to attack the dust pass, now the attention of the barbarians is on me, as soon as the army moves, the barbarians will definitely be very vigilant, and nearly 10,000 people move, it is difficult not to be noticed."
Luo Xingtian shook his head, looking at the marching map, there are barbarian spies in the vicinity these days, but there are not many barbarians in the dust pass now, and it is difficult to think of this, the most important thing is that Luo Xingtian doesn't have to worry about grain and grass now, naturally he has much more confidence than when he was on the ridge.
"Naturally, we don't want to attack the dust pass, and it doesn't mean much to lay down the dust pass, the important thing is to force these barbarians back, the barbarians who lack baggage want to fight us in this cold winter season, I'm afraid it's a little worse, but it's ......"
Liu Fa sighed, and then said: "I have to say that the combat power of the barbarians should not be underestimated, although the barbarians lack winter clothes, how can we not be." As he spoke, he glanced at the guards standing outside to guard the camp, their clothes thin, but they stood straight.
"It can't be dragged on like this!" Liu Fa said firmly.
Luo Xingtian nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "Do you have any detailed plans?" ”
"This matter is still going to fall on General Luo." Liu Fa smiled slightly, but pointed to the location of Chongcheng with his hand.
"What the barbarians are most afraid of is the nearly 10,000 horses under the command of General Luo, if the army turns around and rushes to the city, the barbarians will definitely stop it at all costs.
"Feasible." Luo Xingtian smiled faintly, and didn't say much, he was in the light, Liu Fa was in the dark, such a cooperation could naturally give these barbarians a fatal blow, thinking of what Liu Fa said about the barbarian slaughter of the city, he was still extremely angry in his heart, but the anger in his chest was nowhere to release, and now he was going to swagger around and kill a bloody way.
Liu Fa smiled slightly, seeing that Luo Xingtian agreed, he was also very happy, it seems that this Luo Xingtian seems to be not easy to get along with, but he is also a cheerful person, there are not many soldiers under his command, Luo Xingtian has become famous early, he has not ordered himself, and it is not easy to treat himself with the attitude of an official.
The situation is urgent, Luo Xingtian did not hesitate, after distributing grain and grass to the soldiers under his command, he immediately started the army, and rushed towards the city, at this time in the dust pass, the largest number of people is the Suo Shooting Branch, and the other small tribes are integrated, and they can almost reach the number of people in the Suo Shooting Army, but now it is not easy to gather, now Luo Xingtian has nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, it is not false, he is just thinking about how to take the barbarian knife, and the blood stains the long knife.
Luo Xingtian's army moved, all eyes were fixed on Luo Xingtian's body, seeing Luo Xingtian appear in the dust pass, all the barbarians were shocked, and then they were all furious, now the dust pass has become the territory of the barbarians, Luo Xingtian just came down from the grinding stone ridge, and then he was so arrogant, which made the barbarians extremely angry.
Qin Tianzhao naturally heard the news, and he immediately revealed his identity, and he was united with Luo Xingtian's soldiers, and immediately there was an uproar in the dust pass, and there was an extra soldier and horse of unknown origin in this dust pass, and there were thousands of people, and the barbarians were really stunned.
In the dusty city, a person with a gloomy face was dressed in a gorgeous costume, and in this place full of barbarians, he was wearing such a costume, which had to be eye-catching, and he didn't look at the two barbarians kneeling on the ground, already kowtowing with blood.
"General, we deserve to die for our crimes."
The man listened quietly to the noise, his heart was quiet, he silently looked at the same hazy sky, sighed slightly, and then walked out of the hall.
Not long after, there were two more bloody human heads in the vegetable market.
"Be sure to block Luo Xingtian before rushing to the city."
The third military order was given, Suo Shot pinched this command into a ball, his eyes were cold and terrifying, he pointed at his long knife, and said sharply: "Open up, target, Luo...... Yes...... Sky! ”
Immediately, a mountain of shouts sounded from behind, and the army of nearly 10,000 began to move, and a long dragon finally rushed in the direction of Chongcheng, and the grain and grass were all in the hands of Suo Shu, and Suo Gong was also completely calm, and the humiliation of blood still needed to be washed away with blood.
"General Luo has already gone south, when will I leave?" Jiang Baiyan stood behind Liu Fa and bowed.
Liu Fa looked into the distance, faintly saw a glimmer of hope, he turned his head, smiled like an immature teenager, clear and pure, but the beard that gradually turned black at the corners of his mouth already indicated that he was no longer the Liu Fa he used to be.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not the time yet, send the number of people to find out the situation, although the eyes of the barbarians are now focused on General Luo, but it may not be that no one notices here, don't act rashly, now is the time to be patient."
Liu Fa's eyes were deep, and then he turned his head again, the mountain wind blew, curled up his sideburns, elegant and chic, he really didn't look like a leader, although he was smiling, but who knew the bitterness in his heart.
It's almost winter, and it's such a season, but Uehara is colder than here, and before you know it, it's another four seasons in reincarnation.
Liu Fa sighed in a low voice, and then walked down the mountain alone, he was tired, really tired, this was not the life he wanted.
Everything is as Liu Fa expected, with Luo Xingtian's strong southward movement, the barbarians who were originally rampant and domineering in this dust pass almost disappeared, except for a team of nearly 10,000 people rushing towards Luo Xingtian, they also walked very strongly, and they came to wash away the humiliation.
"Why did Childe end up in the dust?" Luo Xingtian rode on a horse, Luo Xingtian felt very strange about Qin Tianzhao's arrival, but Luo Xingtian still decided to take him south to rush to the city, originally Qin Tianzhao lost the opportunity, and it was useless in the dust pass, he was also extremely depressed in his heart, originally wanted to make some deeds in this southern prison, but it was repeatedly unsuccessful.
Qin Tianzhao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I was thinking of going north to Chenguan and creating some chaos, but who would have expected that as soon as I came out of Chongcheng, Chongcheng was broken, and Uncle Geng also died tragically in the city. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Tianzhao suddenly remembered a question, he looked at Luo Xingtian and said suspiciously: "By the way, how did General Luo retreat from the Millstone Ridge?" ”
This retreat made Luo Xingtian feel a lot more comfortable in an instant, and he smiled slightly: "I'm ashamed to say that I was trapped on the ridge for a long time, but I was rescued by someone, and I was also the army of my Southern Prison, and the person who led the army was named Liu Fan, who was really a young hero." ”
Qin Tianzhao's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he said strangely: "Liu Fa? ”
He didn't expect that if it was really Liu Fan's doing, he immediately began to condense a killing intent, and it was Liu Fa who ruined his own good deeds, at this time he felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly remembered that "Sun and Moon" hadn't passed on the news for a long time, and he didn't target him last time, how did he know that he came to stir up his own situation.
Luo Xingtian sensed that something was wrong with Qin Tianzhao, and immediately asked, "Why, you don't know Liu Fan?" He also felt puzzled, thinking that Qin Tianzhao had never heard of Liu Fa's name, so he instantly became suspicious.
Qin Tianzhao immediately smiled, his smile was very profound, he nodded, and said, "Liu Fa and I know each other very well, he is very good, indeed, very good." ”
Luo Xingtian laughed, and didn't ask in detail, just looked at the road ahead, and didn't realize that they had gone far away, and the scouts kept coming in news, and they were all nervously patrolling the situation within a radius of twenty miles.
At present, no barbarian dares to confront him head-on, but Luo Xingtian knows that it won't be long before someone will come out to stop him.
Qin Tianzhao was still chewing on the conversation with Luo Xingtian along the way, although he was Qin Wen's son, but he had no power to command Luo Xingtian, Luo Xingtian had a perverse personality, but he was very assertive, and he was also a fierce general in this southern prison, except for a few people in Nangong to control anger, that is, him.
"General Luo, didn't Liu Fa come down from the Millstone Ridge with you?" Qin Tianzhao and Luo Xingtian talked for a long time, and finally realized that there was always something missing, and suddenly found that although they had been talking about Liu Fa, they had not seen Liu Fa.
Luo Xingtian smiled slightly, his face like a knife suddenly became sharper at this time, he shook his head, but he didn't say much, he still remembered the conversation with Liu Fa before leaving.
"General Luo, no one else knows about this plan." Liu Fa's face was serious at first, and the shorthand became a little worried, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes, this time I went north, it was originally some plans of some people against me, and I have been robbed repeatedly in this dust, if it weren't for my brothers, it is estimated that I would have died a long time ago, and there would not even be scum left." ”
Liu Fa laughed at himself, and then fell silent again, Luo Xingtian was deeply puzzled, he hated conspiracy and trickery the most, and he never touched these things, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say.
"In short, General Luo, please, whether this matter is successful or not, it will be up to General Luo." Liu Fa finally spoke, with some pleading.
Luo Xingtian laughed, and then there was a little more pride on his face, and he said loudly: "General Liu, you and I are both leading the army, how can you say such frustrating words, in this world, who can stop you and me, barbarians are nothing, not to mention some villains in the dark, I introspect, General Liu and relieved." ”
There are still some people jumping around in this southern prison, otherwise how could the dust pass and Chongcheng be broken so easily, tens of thousands of people and how many people said that they would die, Luo Xingtian glanced at Qin Tianzhao slightly, and sighed slightly in his heart.
He can't do anything, he can only march and fight, maybe dying on the battlefield is the best destination, he doesn't want to live in such an intriguing circle for the rest of his life.
Gradually, the sky was dark again, and it was another night, but different nights had the same tranquility, Liu Fa walked slowly in the camp with the eight guards, the weather became colder and colder, and these soldiers who kept vigil wore thin clothes and stamped their feet in the cold.
Don't dare to raise the torch, just for fear of being discovered by the barbarians, when the time comes, everything will be in vain, although the barbarians' attention is still on Luo Xingtian, but the defense of the dust pass is more rigorous than before.
Only when Luo Xingtian walked a little farther could the dust pass return to normal, a few soldiers stood at the sentry guard, rubbing their hands coldly, but they were always staring at the surrounding situation, extremely vigilant, without a trace of relaxation.
Liu Fa glanced at it, sighed slightly, and then walked over, the subtle footsteps were particularly clear in this cold night, and when the soldiers heard the footsteps, they immediately stopped breathing, began to clench the knife, and then looked at the darkness.
"Who, what's the matter, don't you know that you can't just walk around the camp after dark?" A soldier said sternly, and then lit the fire fold again, and the people around looked more vigilantly towards the place where there was a sound with the faint light of the fire.
Hearing this stern voice, Han Ju was a little unhappy, and then said in a low voice: "The general is here, you can't wait yet......"
Liu Fa waved his hand and interrupted Han Ju's words, but he approached the soldiers who were guarding the sentry, and when the soldiers saw that it was Liu Fa, they immediately knelt down, their faces full of surprise and respect.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground." Liu Fa smiled slightly, and then said.
The soldier who had just spoken still knelt on the ground, and said with shame on his face: "General, I just ...... I ......"
Liu Fan helped him up, and then said: "Don't blame those who don't know, besides, I really shouldn't be here." ”
The soldiers were very excited to see Liu Fa coming, and for a while, they also forgot about the cold, Liu Fa walked to the sentry guards, found a place to sit down at random, and several soldiers were standing, waiting for Liu Fa to speak.
Liu Fa saw a few people, pointed to the position next to him, and said in a low voice: "Sit down, what's the constraint?" ”
The soldier who had just spoken clenched his fists suddenly, and then said solemnly: "General, where our duty lies, I'm afraid we can't sit down!" ”
"I command you to sit down!" Liu Fa feigned anger and said, in fact, this guard is too simple, there is not even a place to shelter from the wind, that is, an empty roof, naturally the cold wind hits people.
The soldiers were helpless, and then sat around Liu Fan, Liu Fan looked at these soldiers with red faces from the cold, and he was also unhappy, he said in a low voice: "Such a cold weather, alas, the brothers are really suffering!" ”
Before the words could be finished, the soldiers immediately knelt down again.
"The general's words are serious!"
"As long as you can fight the barbarians, what's the pain!"
Liu Fa shook his head, his face was a little more helpless, he waved his hand, and said: "Speak well, don't kneel down at every turn, there is gold under the man's knees, kneel to heaven and earth, kneel down to parents, don't be like this!" ”
The soldiers laughed and stood up again, they were not good at words, they were all very simple people.
Looking at the sky, Liu Fa slowly fell silent, and before he realized that it was a full moon again, he smiled lonely, looked at everyone again, and then said, "Brothers, are you homesick?" ”
Several people were also silent, home, how far away words, one of the soldiers shook his head, there was a trace of crystal in his eyes, but there was no slightest sobbing sound, he whispered: "My home is in Chongcheng......"
Speaking of this, he fell silent and never spoke again, and the other people were also silent, they were all about the same, rushing to the city, the people had already been slaughtered, and many people were ruined.
