Chapter 62: The Cavalry

When Yuan Shu saw Yuan Yin again, he couldn't believe his eyes! I saw that Yuan Yin's helmet had fallen off, his armor was torn, his robe was rotten, his face and body were dirty, his hair was unkempt, his beard was unkempt, and he was described as withered, which was not much better than a beggar.

Behind Yuan Yin, followed by hundreds of remnants of the defeated soldiers, it was impossible to connect with the thousand elite cavalry before the expedition, and the contrast between before and after was too strong. The elite division of the Han Empire was beaten like this! The opponent is still a mere 800 rogues, shame, shame~~

Yuan Yin knelt down in the dust and cried: "Brother, brother~~"

Yuan Shu raised his head, his expression was painful, and he said in a low tone: "I don't have a younger brother like you, the face of the Yuan family has been lost to you, a thousand fine horses, a thousand fine horses, those are all elite soldiers entrusted to me by the general, how can I explain to the general?" How should I explain to the general~~"

Yuan Yin's face changed greatly, and he fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "Brother spare your life, brother spare your life~"

"A thousand fine horsemen, in less than two days, there are only hundreds of remnants left, and there is not a single war horse left, teach me how to spare you? How to spare you! Yuan Shu closed his eyes and waved his hand coldly, "Drag it down, cut ~~"

The two executioners of the army pounced on them like wolves, picked up Yuan Yin and left, Yuan Yin howled like a pig, and shouted: "Don't, don't kill me, brother~"

"Wait!"

In the crowd, Kuai Yue suddenly came out.

Yuan Shu's heart was relieved, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he glanced at Kuai Yue coldly, and asked, "What does Xenodu have to say?" ”

Kuai Yue was stunned in his heart, but said lightly on his face: "The defeat of the cavalry is quite strange, there are many doubts below, and I still need to ask General Yuan Yin, and I hope to keep people under the general's sword." ”

Jin Shang, Kuai Liang and others immediately came to their senses and persuaded them: "Yes, General, you should first ask how the Ming cavalry was defeated, if the blame lies with General Yuan Yin, it is not too late to kill it." ”

Yuan Shu pretended to meditate for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "That's fine." ”

Kuai Yue turned over and dismounted, walked to Yuan Yin, and helped Yuan Yin up from the ground, Yuan Yin almost died, and was grateful to Kuai Yue in his heart, and actually hugged Kuai Yue's thigh and cried. Kuai Yue was quite disdainful in his heart, thinking that this is the son of the Yuan Sect of the legendary Fourth and Third Princes?

"General Yuan Yin should not be sad, as the saying goes, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, don't worry too much, get up, and get up."

Yuan Yin got up and cried like a woman about the night battle that happened outside Luyang City.

……

On the official road leading from Pheasant County to Luyang, hundreds of carriages, ox carts, and donkey carts lined up in a long convoy, loaded with grain and grass, and only 500 elite soldiers accompanied the protection before and after. After receiving Yuan Yin's battle report, Yuan Shu led the main force to rush forward to respond lightly, and gradually distanced himself from the baggage team.

A line of geese flew through the sky one after another, and a desolate cry sounded in the gradually darkening sky.

The remnant sun is like blood, staining the reckless mountains in the distance, and a big flag suddenly appears from the valley in front of it, with four blood-red characters of "Eight Hundred Liukou" written on it, and the blood-colored flag, riding proudly, standing like a statue in the wind, as if it has been waiting here for a thousand years.

Ma Yue straddled the horse and crossed the sword, standing solemnly on the official road, and the wind blew the cloak behind him, and the hunting sounded.

"Woo~Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~"

Three short and one long, the peculiar horn horn suddenly rushed into the sky, and in the suffocating sound of the horn, one after another gradually appeared from the valley in front of it, gathering under the blood-colored banner like a hundred rivers and seas, and swore to follow behind the statuelike knight.

After a long time, a large group of cavalry had gathered under the blood-colored flag, and the black pressure was overwhelming, only the cherry red tassel looked more and more poignant under the light of the remnant sun. The loud horn ceased, the heaven and earth were silent, except for the howl of the wind, only the war horse made a few sounds from time to time, reckless sky, lonely wilderness, showing a very solemn, nine points of gloom.

"Woo~~"

The Han army finally sounded the horn of warning, although this large-scale cavalry army, although it was also wearing the standard armor of the Han army and the standard battle robe of the Han army, they were not the Han army at all, because on the blood-colored banner, the four blood-colored characters of "Eight Hundred Liukou" were clearly written.

"Enemy attack~~Array to meet the enemy~~"

The mournful shouts of the generals of the Han army pierced the sky, the servants and miscellaneous servants were in a mess, and the elite soldiers accompanying the escort began to assemble in formation......

"Driving~"

Ma Yue's legs gently grabbed the horse's belly, the war horse shook his head and snorted, slowly let go of the four hooves and began to trot, behind the horse leap, hundreds of horsemen followed suit, when the faint thunder gradually grew into a deafening rumble, the war horse has begun to sprint at full speed, hundreds of war horses are fighting bravely, thousands of horse hooves mercilessly knock on the earth, only the war horse is neighing, the earth is moaning......

Hundreds of cavalry rookers swept towards the Han army's baggage team like a surging torrent.

Ma Yue's eyebrows were hideous, and he raised the thick-backed steel knife above the top, and roared hoarsely: "Kill the Han army!" Burn out the baggage! Grab all the food and grass! Don't leave a single grain for the Han army, starve to death the son of a bitch~~~~"

……

"How did you lose so simply!? Eight hundred rogues are so fierce!? There is such a strange thing in the world!? ”

After listening to Yuan Yin's narration, Kuai Yue couldn't help but be awe-struck.

Yuan Shu and a group of strategists and generals were even more shocked, and they couldn't believe that this was true.

Yuan Shu said sharply: "The injured soldiers, all come forward!" ”

Yuan Yin turned around and waved gloomily at the remnants of the defeated soldiers behind him, and the hundreds of Han soldiers who could still barely stand were lifted, supported, and carried, and carried hundreds of wounded soldiers over, and laid them out one by one in front of Yuan Shu and others. Yuan Shu and the others looked at them one by one, and saw that the wounds on the wounds of the injured Han soldiers were different, but there was a striking similarity, that is, everyone was stained with white powdery objects, and almost all the injured soldiers closed their eyes in pain, wailing incessantly.

Yuan Yin's grief-stricken voice sounded again: "The soldiers of our army fought bravely to be the first, intending to level the Liukou in one fell swoop, who would have thought that the sudden change was born, and suddenly threw many cloth bags from the Liukou array, and the soldiers of our army did not notice, they all split it with knives, the cloth bags were broken, and the things in the bags were spilled, and the sky was full of them, and many soldiers were black-eyed, and they could only let the Liukou ...... Tu poke wow. ”

"Lang Zhong! What about Lang Zhong? Yuan Shugao shouted, "Come forward and take a closer look, what kind of poison is this?" ”

Without waiting for Lang Zhong to come, Kuai Yue had already approached to take a closer look, and after a little argument, he was shocked and said, "It's just chalk!?" How can chalk be so useful? It can blind people! ”

"Chalk?"

Yuan Shu and the others were shocked, it was just the chalk used to paint the wall? There are many satin burns in various states and counties, but no one has ever known that the chalk has such a purpose, and there is no record of it in the ancient classics.

Kuai Yue looked up to the sky and sighed: "Ma Yue, there are unpredictable talents, the more you can't do it." ”

"Newspaper~~"

Kuai Yue's voice fell, and a horse galloped from the south, and he rushed to Yuan Shu before he reined in his mount, turned over and dismounted to pour the dust, and gasped: "General, the eight hundred Liukou intercepted halfway, the baggage team has been wiped out, all the grain and grass have been robbed, and all the baggage has been burned~"

"What!?"

Yuan Shu's eyes were round, he couldn't believe his ears, this Ma Yue used his troops, it was really unbearable. Zhang Xun, Jin Shang, Li Yan and others also hurriedly surrounded them, with solemn expressions. After a long time, Yuan Shushi sighed and said: "The situation is dangerous, the army will return to Pheasant County, and wait to reraise the grain and grass to make calculations." ”

"Newspaper~~"

Yuan Shu's voice fell, and another horse meteor came, Yuan Shu was so shocked that he jumped up, and looked at the galloping horse with extremely frightened eyes, and his whole body was cold.

"Report ~ General, Pheasant County ......"

Yuan Shu was taken aback, and said sharply: "Has Pheasant County also fallen?" ”

Tanma snorted and gasped: "It has never fallen, the Liukou deceive the city has not succeeded, and they have gone around the city to attack Wancheng." ”

"Huh~~" Yuan Shu let out a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations, "Fortunately, Wancheng has Zirou in charge, so you can worry about it." ”
