Chapter 481: The Weasel Sends the Chicken Home
The three thousand guards went to the battlefield the next day, and unlike in the past, the commander of the guards this time was not Xie Yi, let alone Jiang Qi.
Of course, it's not thanksgiving.
As a result, the leader has become the focus of general speculation. And unexpectedly, before the departure of the Linqin Guard, Jiang Qi did not appoint anyone as the commander of this Linqin Guard.
Although the seven-member military meeting was criticized by Qi Kuang and other veterans of the Northwest Army, it is undeniable that this is not only a helpless move by Jiang Qi, but also a test of the youth and strength of the Northwest Army.
There is no better way to test soldiers than war, so Jiang Qi finally persuaded the top brass of the Northwest Army.
Such a resolution is definitely not just something that two or three people can decide, Jiang Qi didn't know how much homework he had done before, and only then did the seemingly scattered three thousand relatives go to the border.
Let seven captains be in charge of the army, one of whom is still Jiang Qi's son, and let Xie Shence review this army, Jiang Qi can be said to have good intentions, and he sat down to the point where he did not avoid relatives and relatives, and blamed people not for enmity.
Xie Shence complained in his heart that Jiang Qi had stood by and watched the friction between him and the Northwest Army boss, but Jiang Qi did more things when he didn't know.
This collection of the essence of the Northwest Army's light cavalry guards, even if they are arrogant, even if there are gaps between each other, but the best soldiers of the Northwest Army are the best soldiers in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and they are by no means comparable to elite soldiers in the general sense. They may have constraints, they will definitely have disputes, but they will not lose big because of small things.
The fire quenched body has a reinforced iron skeleton. Jiang Qi understood, in fact, Qi Kuang and others also understood that the confrontation between them, in some things, was not because of the ownership of the Northwest Army after Xie Yi, as the insiders who thought they knew about the Northwest Army. So in the end, Qi Kuang and others agreed.
The guards left on the same day, and Xie Shence stayed at the Iron Gate Pass-
Yu Wenyong resigned the day after the departure of the first guard, and thanked Shence for sending him twenty miles.
For Xie Shence's farewell, Yu Wenyong was naturally able to see some duanmi. He could feel Xie Shence's rejection of him, so he always stayed with his guards, and he ate and drank around a carriage except for Lazar.
There was something odd about that carriage.
Of course, Xie Shence knew that there was a person in the carriage, but he didn't know the men and women, because the gender could not be judged by the food alone.
At first, Xie Shence thought that the person in the car was a girl snatched by Yuwen Yong from the iron gate, but once he inadvertently saw Yu Wenyong hanging his head and ears by the side of the carriage, and he felt that things were not what he imagined - Jinwu Zangjiao.
In this mission, is there anyone more noble than Yu Wenyong's identity? Otherwise, how could you make Yu Wenyong bow down?
Xie Shence once thought that the person in the carriage was a big man similar to Zhuge Liang who lived in seclusion in the northwest, and was invited by Yuwen Yong to be a military advisor.
Suspicion is uncertain, but this variable of having equals nothing does not make Xie Shence feel troublesome, let alone make him give up killing Yu Wenyong.
The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, it is rare for an opponent of Yu Wenyong's level to send it to the door, and of course Xie Shence is not willing to let it go.
Twenty miles is not a long time, but because the mission is huge, there are many carriages and horses, and the walk is slow, and it is only at noon that we arrive at the farewell place.
Resting at the post station, Xie Shence and Yu Wenyong drank together.
"The One in the Carriage"
"Oh, it's a tutor."
Xie Shence was unhappy, this was Xie Shence's words that he had been brewing for a long time before he was cautious, he had made up his mind, once Yuwen Yong looked embarrassed and didn't want to answer, he immediately changed his words and said something else, but Yuwen Yong said it without hesitation, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him to ask this sentence for a long time.
Xie Shence, who was defeated in the first encounter, was not discouraged. So he asked, "Why don't you come out for a walk?" ”
Yu Wenyong said with a smile: "The family teacher is old and sick, so it is inconvenient to go out to meet people. ”
How did Xie Shence know that the family teacher Yu Wenyong said was Duguqing, who was injured in the fight with the senior brother that night? So he just invited him with kind words, saying that if he could teach a genius like Yu Wenyong, he would meet him no matter what.
However, after Yu Wenyong refused once, he turned a deaf ear to Xie Shence's stalking, and just smiled a little shyly.
Yuwen Yong's smiling little jasper, Xie Shence's goosebumps straightened up. Intuition told Xie Shence that this Yuwen Yong must be a sufferer, or a torturer, the more obedient he is, the more pleasure he feels.
Xie Shence didn't have time to think of the Beiyan fish farmer who was the same height, waist circumference and weight, and thought of the previous scandal between her and Murong Cheng, and goosebumps rose on her body again.
Are the Xianbei nobles all perverts, do they all like this abnormality?
After a cold war, looking at the person in front of him who has a perverted personality, strength and scheming, Xie Shence calmed down, and no longer took the mysterious old man Yu Wenyong trying his best to hide from Xie Shence to heart.
If Xie Shence at night knew that the old man Yuwen Yong refused to let him see was so terrifying, I am afraid that he would see him even if he broke in during the day, and then sanitized the idea of killing Yuwen Yong.
After thanking Shence for the farewell banquet, he returned, and did not meet the Tiemen Pass, but took a shortcut to the Fengsha Slope fifty miles away from the Tiemen Pass.
The reason why I chose to start here is because the wind and sand slope is suitable for cavalry combat, and also because there is a big mountain near the wind and sand slope, and it is said that there is a horse bandit who has always been more obedient stationed on the mountain. You can blame the black pot for the failure of Xie Shence.
Second, because Yu Wenyong seemed to be aware, he was much faster in the afternoon. If you follow this rate, you will be able to enter Heishui County in three days, and you will be able to completely go out of the northwest in half a month and join the tribes that are connected to the border passes.
Mo said that Yuwen Yong would never have a chance to start if he left the northwest Xie Shence, even if Yuwen Yong entered Heishui County, Xie Shence would not be able to act recklessly.
Heishui County is the territory of the Liao family.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Xie Shence decided to start the assassination on the first night of Yu Wenyong's departure.
On the first day after leaving the Tiemen Pass of the Northwest Army Battalion, the vigilance of the people of the Yuwen Department was indeed the lowest. The assassination proceeded as Xie had predicted, and after the elite generals wiped the necks of the two Night Watchmen, several Assassins infiltrated Yuwen Yong's camp.
However, when the Assassins entered the camp, there was no movement.
Xie Shence's eyes were gloomy, knowing that these assassins who Xie Shenwei had secretly cultivated had already encountered an accident.
After all, he is not a professional killer like Erli people, and he can't kill people like digging into his bag, and because Yuwen Yong may have been waiting for a moth to put out the fire, so although Xie Shence is angry, he can probably accept the frustration of not being able to do it with one blow.
In fact, Xie Shence didn't expect to kill Yu Wenyong so easily.
It's just a pity for those supposedly good assassins.
The Assassins were outlaws, selected by Xie Shenwei from among the prisoners sent to the northwest, and their families had been secretly transferred to civilian citizenship before they could go on their mission.
Xie Shence waved his hand, and He Ruoque signaled to the heralds around him to implement the second set of plans.
Two hundred cavalrymen quietly dispatched with strange bows and crossbows, and only began to accelerate when they approached Yuwen Yong's camp a hundred paces. Since the wind-sand slope is called the wind-sand slope, it must be sandy, and because it is a slightly sloping slope with sparse turf, the horses will not fall after the horse's hooves fall after the sudden acceleration and the cavalry will fall.
The Yuwen Ministry camp was in a commotion, and one hundred and fifty Yuwen cavalry mounted their horses, and Xie Shence could tell from the shaking of the felt tents in the camp and the neighing of people and horses that they had begun to assemble.
Yu Wenyong, one of the eight tribes, has a combat strength that is not inferior to the Tuoba Sixth Army, even if he is facing the enemy head-on with Tuoba Yanqing's Beast Devouring Army, how can he be afraid of Xie Shence's small assassination?
They will only feel that their dignity has been challenged, and they will kill all their enemies.
It's just that they encountered Xie Shence, and this time the enemy was not a traditional cavalry equipped like them.
They are Xie Shence's private army, a private army armed with gunpowder.
The Modified Bow and Crossbow held by the two hundred cavalry were no longer used to fire crossbow arrows, but instead fired explosives the size of an egg.
This explosive is made of the latest high gunpowder developed by Liu Guitian, although the killing effect is still not large, not enough to meet Xie Shence's expectations, but the victory can be launched on a large scale, can create large-scale chaos and fear.
Xie Shence named this cavalry team on a mission beheading.
Two hundred decapitated cavalry flat-ended crossbows and bows aimed at the Yuwen cavalry who happened to be out of the camp.
The Yuwen cavalry shouted in a language that Xie Shence didn't understand, and the next moment, by the light of the fire, Xie Shence saw that the Yuwen cavalry on the war horse was suddenly shorter.
Lying on horseback, this was a good way for the advancing steppe cavalry to dodge the direct crossbow arrows.
This time, however, the prescription failed.
Because it wasn't a crossbow bolt that was fired, it was an explosive the size of an egg.
The fuse is ignited by the fire breaker, and then the trigger is pulled, and the modified string ejects the ball.
It's not very far, thirty or forty steps, so the Yuwen cavalry ushered in a "hailstorm".
The violent explosion sounded like firecrackers, and the flames drowned out the Yubunbu cavalry.
So the screams of people, the neighing of war horses, cries for help, cursing, and even prayers all sounded in front of Yuwenyong's camp.
Two hundred decapitated cavalry vanished in a flash and returned to darkness.
Yu Wenyong stood inside the camp gate, and behind him were fifty elite horsemen, his face pale.
He didn't expect this to be the result, he was confident that even if he faced the elite light cavalry in the northwest, as long as it was not a ranger, his personal guards would have a chance of winning. However, his personal guards were only a face, and before they even touched the opponent's blade, they lost forty or fifty men, and the horses were frightened.
Before the confrontation, through the forcible questioning of the assassins, he knew that the person who came to assassinate him this time should be Xie Shence.
Naturally, the assassin didn't reveal much useful things, but the more things the assassins tried to hide, the more important it was, Yu Wenyong was very smart, and it was easy to think that the person who came tonight must be the top of the Northwest Army.
He had thought that the person who wanted to kill him the most might be the Northwest Army boss who was swept away by him at the banquet three days ago, or Jiang Qi, who was the most inconspicuous that night but cleaned up the situation at the end and knew his combat power the most, but he locked the ultimate goal on Xie Shence.
Those people wanted to kill him, and the reason was very good, the boss of the Northwest Army wanted to save face, and Jiang Qi wanted to sweep away possible threats in the future, but he didn't feel the murderous aura in those people.
Because even though they wanted to kill him, they were jealous of the current situation. The Northwest needs the support of the Yuwen Ministry in order to be less difficult under the oppression of the Tuoba Ministry, so as to reflect the importance of the Northwest to the entire Jin Kingdom, in exchange for substantial freedom and separation.
Yu Wenyong has a very thorough understanding of the situation in the northwest, in fact, he put a lot of effort into research before he came, so he is sure that neither the Northwest Army boss nor Jiang Qi who has asked for him has the courage to kill people, and will even protect her safety and prevent anyone from killing him.
So of course, the people present that night were left to thank Shence.
So Yu Wenyong basically determined that the person who wanted to kill him was Xie Shence. He felt the coldness on Xie Shence, and saw the heavenly thunder that could explode, so now, he was sure that it was Xie Shence who was still toasting with him frequently during the day.
The corners of Yu Wenyong's mouth tightened, and then let the cavalry behind him wrap the arrows around the cloth and dip the butter in the torch.
A thief from the Jin Kingdom who took refuge in him told him that Xie Shence had a secret weapon called Heavenly Thunder. That kind of thing can explode, but the only limit is fire.
As long as it gets on fire, it will explode anytime and anywhere.
So Yu Wenyong prepared a rocket at the first time.
Then chased the decapitated cavalry and shot out.
Xie Shence felt bad after seeing the second batch of Yuwen cavalry who came out of the camp with sparks in their hands, so he asked He Ruoque to collect his troops, but it was too late.
The rocket chased the decapitated cavalry, fell into the crowd that was still running, ignited some explosives, and then detonated, killing and wounding many decapitated cavalrymen. The explosion of explosives will form a chain explosion, so the explosions and riots that are more violent than the previous Yubunbu cavalry appeared.
Xie Shence's decapitated cavalry, which was used in actual combat for the first time, lost one-third in an instant.
Xie Shence's heart was dripping blood.
The decapitated cavalry, which suffered huge losses, could no longer continue to fight, and the army was discouraged, and the war horses were also frightened, although the trained war horses could calm down as quickly as possible, but after all, the horsemen were injured and could not be put into the battlefield in a short time.
Seeing that the pain suffered by his own guards just now was repeated on the enemy, and to a deeper extent, Yu Wenyong smiled.
Now, it's fair
Yu Wenyong took out a ghost mask on the back of a bumpy horse and put it on his face.
The weakness is no longer there, the shyness is gone, and the terrifying red and black masks have changed the momentum of Yu Wenyong's whole person.
"Kill!" The Yuwen cavalry roared in a concise and clear Xianbei language, then urged the war horse, drew the scimitar, and accelerated with all his might.
Yu Wenyong judged Xie Shence's hiding place in a very short time, which surprised Xie Shence. While he lamented the defeat of the decapitated cavalry in the first battle, he also lamented Yu Wenyong's military talent.
To be able to find the hiding place of the enemy hidden in the darkness in such a short period of time, for the terrain and the marching formation, must be extremely familiar, and non-experienced veterans cannot. Xie Shence knew that Yu Wenyong joined the army at the age of twelve and had been fighting for thirteen years, but he still underestimated his ability.
Of course, Xie Shence is not afraid.
He came here tonight because he had planned it three days ago, and he must have made comprehensive arrangements.
So a hundred cavalry appeared.
Xie Shence Xie Shence and He Ruoque and more than 20 other people returned to their horses and joined the sequence when the cavalry passed.
Under the darkness of night, the Northwest Army and the Yuwen Department broke out in one of the fiercest battles in history. And even the largest number of battles.
A hundred Xie Shence's private army engaged with the Yuwen cavalry that had joined some of them along the way.
A battle broke out without any fancy fancy, and as soon as Xie Shence came up, he felt a huge pressure.
Different from the quick knife cutting tofu after the black armor guard broke into the position, and also different from the Taishan pressure of the Mo Dao Army, this time Xie Shence felt extremely strong resistance.
Unlike the cavalry that was a little loose but extremely fast, the cavalry under Yu Wenyong paid attention to the queue, paid attention to coordination, and was also fast and had a stronger sense of rhythm.
Facing a Yuwen cavalry, when he was less than thirty steps away from Xie Shence, he suddenly flashed his sword, and very cleverly used the reflection of the fire to make Xie Shence's eyes bloom, and then cut Xie Shence's neck with a knife.
Xie Shence leaned back, almost sticking to the horse's back, and then dodged a knife, but when he got up, he was hit by a heavy blow on the horse's back.
Han Dao set up the mace short stick, Xie Shence's chest hurt, and he didn't have time to adjust it, so he relied on the advantage of the length of the Han knife to cut off the wrist of the third Yuwen cavalry between getting up, ignoring the enemy who was killed by the cavalry behind him with a knife in the stomach, Xie Shence's blade slashed through the horse's head, slashed a cavalryman, and then shot several times in vain, and passed by the last Yuwen cavalry, Han Dao stroked his thigh fiercely by the way, and his whole body was light, and his vision suddenly widened.
After staggering, Xie Shence found that the armor under his ribs had been cut, but fortunately, he had soft armor to protect him, so he didn't see blood.
He Ruoque, who was covered in blood, said to Xie Shence when he turned the horse's head: "We have few people, so it is not suitable to fight for a long time. ”
Xie Shence nodded, and then said, "It's a pity." ”
Since he couldn't succeed, Xie Shence would definitely not put himself in a dangerous situation, so he retreated decisively.
It's just that where would Yu Wenyong let him go like this?
"Even if it's at your doorstep, can you just leave if you want to?"
Yu Wenyong whispered, then grabbed the horse's belly and chased at full speed.
Xie Shence didn't go in the direction of Tiemen Pass, he wanted to join up with the decapitated cavalry that still had about one hundred and forty left.
Naturally, Xie Shence was led by Yuwen Yong.
Then, in the struggle to counterattack, Xie Shence was grabbed by a strong and powerful hand, and then two hemp ropes were tied to the horse's back.
Captured alive
Xie Shence struggled, but the man on the horse didn't seem to care about his movements, and raised his hand to elbow Xie Shence, knocking Xie Shence unconscious.
Before Xie Shence fainted, he only saw a strand of white hair.
