Chapter 784: Daxi Changru's Past (1)

After the ice and snow on the northern land began to melt, the water of the Zhanghe River has not yet thawed. There is still a thick layer of ice on the surface of the river, and the place where it is frozen most strongly and thickly is not to say that people can walk through, even if the war horse gallops, there is no problem. The reason why the Xia army was able to suddenly attack the city of Wei County last month was because it could come directly from the Zhanghe River.

And Wang Fubao was defeated and retreated, and he was not entangled by Xue Wanche, also because this big river could not block his retreat.

Now within a hundred miles of this section of the Zhanghe River, the most suitable place to cross the river is occupied by the Yanyun army. After Xue Wanche's 50,000 men fought a beautiful counterattack, although he lost some troops, there were still no less than 30,000 men. Li Xian came with 5,000 elite horsemen, and rescued Cui Qian's remnants on the way, and the Yanyun army stationed on the west bank of the Zhanghe River had almost 40,000 people.

And knowing that King Yan had taken the lead in rushing to Xue Wanche's camp in Zhanghe, Xu Shiji had already urgently dispatched a large army to rush over here. At the same time, Zhang Liang, who was on the front line of Guantao, also led the army to move closer to Wei County, and hundreds of thousands of troops gradually changed from the formation of Chen soldiers on one line to a fist because of the arrival of Li Xian, the king of Yan.

When Li Xian arrived at the Zhanghe camp, the brigade led by Xiong Kuohai and others had also arrived in Yaocheng. Gathering Xu Shiji's men and horses, hundreds of thousands of troops came to the north.

Seven or eight out of ten Wei counties have fallen into the hands of Yan Yunjun, and only the three or four cities within the county are still in the hands of the Xia army. Almost all the troops under Dou Jiande's rule are concentrated in Qingzhang and Feixiang, if Qingzhang is lost again, even if Dou Jiande has the ambition to tolerate heaven and earth, but he has no power to return to heaven.

The day before the Chinese New Year, Wang Fubao launched a surprise attack on Yan Yunjun, originally intending to swallow Xue Wanche's men. But Cui Qian saw through his intentions, so that he collapsed for hundreds of miles.

And now the Yanyun army is only waiting for the water division to transport the grain and grass supplies to launch an offensive.

This is the general trend, and it can be seen by both those inside and outside the battle. There is no conspiracy, but the war has developed to the inevitable direction of the present.

Just when Li Xian arrived at the camp of Xue Wanche in the Zhanghe River, the stubborn Daxi Changru personally led the sailors to cross the Yellow River.

After ten years of conquest and killing, Chen Que'er is no longer the young man who laughed and scolded recklessly in the Tiefu Tu, he was a little more calm and a little less frivolous. There are also a lot more wrinkles on his face, because he has been training sailors on the big ship all day, so he looks a lot darker and stronger than ten years ago.

From a frivolous teenager in his twenties, he has become a calm middle-aged man.

He walked slowly to Daxi Changru's side, looked at the place where Daxi Changru's eyes were staring, smiled, and sat down beside Daxi Changru.

"Back then, we went thousands of miles south from Yanshan, and it was the Yellow River that crossed from here. Then he defeated Zhang Jincheng in one fell swoop and gained a firm foothold in Dongping County. Think about it...... Ten years are flicking a finger, as if the events of ten years ago are still in front of us. ”

Daxi Changru nodded with a smile and poured a glass of wine for Chen Qi'er: "At that time, you were still a young hairy boy, and you were hippie and smiling all day long. Ten years later, your children are now five years old, right? That little guy ran to the martial arts academy all day long, swearing that he wanted to be a general. ”

"Haha!"

Chen Qi'er couldn't help laughing, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Chen Hunu."

Daxi Changru sighed and patted Chen Qi'er on the shoulder: "When you renamed the child Hunu, I knew that you were miserable in your heart. There are only a few of you left in the Tiefutu, there are many casualties in the ten years of battle, and the tiger slave dies again, and the old man from the Tiefutu is actually the only one left, you and Luo Fu. ”

"Born in troubled times...... Since he joined the army, he could not escape death. ”

Chen Que'er drank all the wine in the cup: "I was not by his side when the tiger slave died, and every year on the festival day, I would give him a pot of old wine and burn a handful of paper money." But I don't know why, but his appearance is getting more and more blurred in my heart. Sometimes I think about it hard, and I only vaguely remember his honest smile. It's not just the dead person, but Luo Fu hasn't seen him for several years, and his appearance seems to be a little blurred. ”

"When you're my age, you'll probably remember what they look like."

Daxi Changru smiled, pinched a piece of cooked beef and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, as if he enjoyed the taste of the wine and meat: "If it is almost a big decision today, there are not so many battles to fight." As long as An Zhiping destroys Hebei, the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains can also be reorganized...... When the time comes, I am afraid that you will feel even more sad and unbearable...... In the quiet night, when I can't sleep, I often think of the robes that died in the past. ”

"In the past few years in Junozawa, I can't sleep well when I'm full of food and drink every day."

He drank the wine in his glass: "I think about those old fellows more and more. ”

"General, tell me about the battle in Honghua back then."

Chen Qi'er put down the wine glass, looked at the surging river and said softly.

Daxi Changru's gaze also fell on the river, and gradually the tumbling waves seemed to turn bloody. The sound of the surging tide gradually turned into the sound of fighting and shouting.

A stone's throw away.

……

……

The remnant sun was like blood, and after two days of bloody battle, there were less than 700 people left. At noon, if it weren't for the fact that the two teams were voluntarily holding the retreat with a hundred cavalry, and forcibly blocked the offensive of the Turkic wolf cavalry, I was afraid that the remaining cavalry would have fallen into a heavy encirclement, and behind them were 400,000 Turkic wolf cavalry and the men and horses of various tribes of the steppe, if these hundreds of them were wrapped in it, it would be like droplets of water falling into the sea, and they would not even be able to stir up the slightest wave.

Daxi Changru rested against a big rock on the side of the road, looked at the sun slanting to the west, and couldn't help but shake his head. He led 2,000 cavalry out of Honghua to investigate the enemy's situation, but he didn't expect to encounter the 400,000 allied troops in the grassland. At the moment when the two sides met, he did not retreat with his men and horses, but held high the red battle flag of the Great Sui and lined up in formation to block the enemy's forward path.

Two days and two nights, seven bloody battles. Two thousand elites lost more than 1,300, but they killed more than 10,000 wolf riders!

Standing beside Daxi Changru are his five most loyal generals. These five people are known as the five tiger generals under the command of Daxi Changru.

Iron wolf, iron tiger brother. Seeking songs, oriental fire, Dugu Ruizhi.

"General, rest for a while and you take the brothers first. Tie Liaohu and I stayed behind to stop the grassland people, and the people who asked for help have been back for two days, and if nothing else, our reinforcements are about to arrive. As long as reinforcements arrived, those steppe people would no longer have the possibility of going south. ”

The Iron Wolf wiped the blood from his forehead and took off the water bladder on his waist to take a sip, only to find that the bladder was empty.

Tie Liaohu, who was six years younger than him, smiled, untied his water bladder and handed it to him: "I know that you have no water." ”

He turned his head to Daxi Changru and said, "Don't worry, general, give us a hundred brothers to ensure that those wolf cubs can't cross the forest mountain stream." Hulukou seems to have only one road, but in fact, there is no one to lead the way after a thousand turns, and it is difficult for the Turks to get out. As long as they guard the forest and mountain streams, they can't get by! ”

"Nope"

Daxi Changru shook his head, but didn't say why he couldn't.

The Iron Wolf glanced at his brother's chapped lips, and then at the nearly full kettle in his hand, and couldn't help but snort. He, the elder brother, seems to have been taken care of by his younger brother since he was a child. When he was a child, his family was poor, and his parents died early, so he went out every day to beg for food for his younger brother, and he was reluctant to eat...... But Tie Liaohu was reluctant to eat, and always left the food to his brother.

"If you don't have enough to eat, how can you beg for food for me?"

He still thinks about this sentence from time to time.

Later, Daxi Changru led the troops through their village, and when he saw that the two half-old children were pitiful, he took them in. Teach them martial arts and the art of war, and the Iron Burning Tiger's understanding is much stronger than that of the Iron Fangwolf. The two of them studied martial arts together, and after only two years, the iron wolf could no longer beat his younger brother.

Both brothers were fond of using a lance, and by the time Iron Burning Tiger was sixteen years old, there was no one in the army more skilled than his lance. Deducing the art of war, very few people can defeat him. Among the five tiger generals, Daxi Changru likes him the most. even regarded it as the heir to the mantle, and the art of war in his heart was even more taught.

"General, you can't trust our brothers?"

Tie Liaohu picked the corners of his mouth, looked at the few brothers around him and said with a smile: "If the general leaves others, I am afraid that there will be no life, but if I stay, there is still some hope of survival." ”

Everyone was stunned, and they were a little surprised. On weekdays, Tie Liaohu has great respect for several brothers, why does he seem so frivolous and rude today?

The iron wolf was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but reprimand. But before he could look at it, he found that Tie Liaohu glanced at him with contemptuous eyes: "Big brother, you don't have to scold me, speaking of the military competition, you are not my opponent." ”

"Say no more!"

Daxi Changru stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Have you forgotten the oath I made when I took you out?" ”

"Life with life, death with death?"

Tie Liaohu shook his head and sneered: "It's a very idiotic word!" ”

"Shut up!"

There was a crunch snap!

The iron wolf couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped the iron tiger: "You dare to be rude to the general!" ”

"Some people who can survive have to pursue a piece of heroic sorrow to die......"

Tie Liaohu sneered, rubbed his hot and painful face, and said, "In my opinion, this is an extremely idiotic thing, life and death are the same as death...... That's a good thing to say, I can't do it anyway, as long as I have a hope for life, I won't give up! In my opinion, if there is a certainty of death, I would rather surrender and survive! ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

"General, I'm sorry!"

The iron wolf blushed and apologized, feeling guilty in his heart.

"Nothing!"

Daxi Changru waved his hand weakly: "His first battle, it is inevitable that his mind is a little confused. ”

He looked at the back of the iron burning tiger, and there was a faint worry in his heart.

……

……

"Report!"

A scout flew up and leaped from his horse a dozen paces away. After running a few steps in front of Daxi Changru, he panted and said, "Report to the general, all the brothers who stayed behind in Hulukou were killed in battle. The weapons were broken, and our people fought with their bare hands, but they only blocked the Turks for more than an hour, and now the Turks have entered the mouth of the gourd! ”

"All on board!"

Daxi Changru supported the crumbling scout, turned around and commanded loudly: "Dugu! You take two people back to the camp to ask for help, if the reinforcements don't come early tomorrow morning, the Turks will be out of the Hulukou is a flat wilderness, and it will be difficult to stop them. You leave now, you don't have to come back if you can't bring reinforcements! ”

"General!"

Dugu Ruizhi's face changed, and he shook his head stubbornly: "I'm not leaving!" ”

"Get out!"

Daxi Changru kicked Dugu Ruizhi to the ground: "Among the few of you, you have the worst martial arts, who will go back if you don't go back?" Do you think that your poison can poison 400,000 wolf riders?! ”

"I ......"

Dugu Ruizhi was stunned for a moment, and tears couldn't help but flow down after all.

"Wait until I'll get back!"

He fell to his knees and knocked his head three times. When I got up, my forehead was broken. Blood was running down his forehead, and there were a few patches of dead grass sticking to him.

"The soldiers of the Great Sui, keep the enemy out of the gate!"

Daxi Changru jumped on the war horse, took off the long knife and pointed in the direction of the gourd's mouth: "Take a step back, we are the sinners of the Great Sui!" ”

"Sinners?"

Not far away, Tie Liaohu, who was standing alone on the side, suddenly smiled, but his eyes were sad, he looked at the majestic back of Daxi Changru and muttered: "Sinner, it's better to let me come by myself." Life and death are indeed an idiotic thing, and I will not give up if there is any hope of life...... I won't give up for you, and if I have to die, it's better for me to die myself than for you all to die. ”
