Chapter 116: Smugness

Ba Yetuo was dizzy and his ears were ringing, he was shocked, he didn't expect that this Huaihuang Southern barbarian army was so insidious, not only with a large number of archers, but also with such a powerful heavy crossbow.

He was a little dizzy for a moment, where did this fucking group of bandits get such strong equipment, not only hundreds of horsemen, but also hundreds of excellent archers, and even worse, they had dozens of heavy crossbows. Damn, fooled. He exclaimed in his heart, just this equipment configuration, not to mention that it can't be the equipment of the bandits, even the Xi tribe, and even the wolf riders of the Turks don't have such good equipment, this equipment can be said to have completely reached the elite equipment of the Sui army in the south. He remembered the previous battles that harassed the Sui side, and those seemingly weak Sui people relied on chariots and crossbows to beat the brave knights on the grassland, so that Dulan Khan had to retreat. Unexpectedly, these bandits who were nostalgic also had such equipment.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"

Bano Du rolled on the ground several times, and the wolf ran back, shouting as he ran. He knew that he was careless this time, if it wasn't for the enemy, how could three hundred warriors not be able to defeat two thousand Huaihuangren. Even if they have bows and crossbows, they are elite riders, as long as they don't hedge with their stupidity, how can this be the result. As long as the Huaihuang people are away from the city wall, on the grassland, even if they have bows and crossbows, they are not afraid of them at all. Careless, Bayedu finally escaped from the attack of the Sui people's bow and crossbow, turned over a war horse that had no owner, and then fled directly to the northeast regardless of the mountain of loot in the camp.

Seeing that the situation is not good. Evacuate immediately. This is the essence of the battle of the steppe tribes, if you can't beat it this time, you will run away immediately. Wait until you regroup your troops and horses, and then come back and do it.

The rest of the Bayegu cavalry also roared and shouted, turned their horses' heads, and fled in their saddles.

The people rushed violently, and they retreated quickly, and in the blink of an eye, nearly seventy or eighty corpses had been dropped. Whistling and fleeing northeast.

Zhang Sheng had been straddle the horse, behind the archers' formation, and had seen the Baye Guren rushing through the arrow formation without fear of death. When he rushed straight to the front of the spear array, Zhang Sheng was still playing drums in his heart, afraid that the spear array and shield array would not be able to stop the wild guys, and waited for forty Fuyuan crossbows to be powerful. When he suddenly beat the people of Baye Gu and fled. An irrepressible smile finally appeared on his face.

"Give me chase!" Zhang Sheng urged the horse forward, came to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly pointing in the direction of Bayeguren's escape.

However, the Huaihuang soldiers on the battlefield did not immediately pursue, but looked at their superiors and commanders.

The new rule promulgated by Lingyun is that the soldiers only obey the orders of the higher levels. That is to say, ordinary soldiers obey the captain, the commander obeys the chief, and the commander obeys the captain. The team leader obeys the owner of the building, and the owner of the building obeys the owner of the camp. The reverse is also true. Zhang Sheng, the forward general, could only give orders to the five battalion masters, and then the battalion owners would send orders downward, and the orders would be passed down at all levels, and finally reach the heads of the small soldiers. Such rules, of course, are to deal with Zhang Sheng and his gang, in order to completely seize their control over their old subordinates.

Murong An, the former battalion commander, was wiping his new cavalry knife on the corpse of a Bayegu cavalryman, and it seemed that he had not heard Zhang Sheng's words at all.

Luo Fang's face turned pale, and he stepped on the corpse, "Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang's order, didn't Chief Murong hear it?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it just now, did Deputy Alliance Master Zhang give the order? What command? ”

"The Bayegu people have been defeated and fled, and Deputy Alliance Master Zhang ordered an immediate pursuit." Luo Fang said with a dark face and gritted his teeth.

"Oh, that's it." Murong An responded in a long voice, and then pretended to be contemplative for a long time. "But before coming out, the alliance leader had an order, let me wait to capture this Bayegu camp, and then wait here for the alliance leader to join the follow-up people, but it didn't say that we should chase and defeat the escaped Yegu people."

"The old man commands the vanguard, the battlefield is ever-changing, and the old man has the right to make decisions on the spot." Zhang Shengqi's beard was cocked, this Murong An, relying on one of the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun who used to be Lingyun White Horse Hall, now Lingyun has attained the Tao alone, and he also followed the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, a incense master of the outer hall, and in a blink of an eye, he sat on the front battalion of the five battalions of the helm, this time Lingyun took the opportunity to collect the military power, and Murong An also got the real power of a battalion owner. But this damn guy, even if you become the manager, but you are the deputy leader of the alliance, not to mention that your status in the alliance is second only to the leader of the alliance, even if you are ranked by seniority, your own qualifications and prestige are far above this kid. It was too much for him to be a small steward to dare to openly ignore his authority in front of these two thousand men.

Murong An is not afraid of Zhang Sheng at all, he is Lingyun's person, Zhang Sheng is Lingyun's sworn enemy, how can he buy Zhang Sheng's account. He sneered twice, "Deputy Alliance Master Zhang has the right to make decisions on the spot?" I don't know about this, I haven't heard of the alliance leader or the meeting of the Righteous Hall, giving Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang the right to make decisions on the spot. Before sending the troops, the alliance leader had clearly explained the task to us, that is, to take down the Dogbo camp, and then wait for the alliance leader to come, and then make the next action arrangement. Where did Deputy Alliance Master Zhang get the right to make decisions on the spot? ”

-for-tat, without giving Zhang Sheng any face.

Zhang Sheng's hands were clenched, and he couldn't wait to go up and strangle Murong An to death. But this time 2,000 troops were dispatched, but the actual military power was in the hands of the four chiefs, all of whom were Yi Thirteen's people. In the face of Murong An's confrontation, he had no way to suppress it.

"The old man is both the forward commander and the deputy alliance leader, Murong An, you are just the head of the front battalion, don't you want to disobey the battlefield or not? Do you really think that the old man will not dare to kill you? ”

Murong An looked at each other coldly, and that contemptuous look made Zhang Sheng almost draw his sword.

Xue Liang saw that the atmosphere was so tense, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhang Sheng. "The deputy alliance leader will dissipate his anger for the time being, let me say a few words."

"Chief Murong, let me ask you, has the Yi Alliance Lord famously said that Deputy Alliance Master Zhang does not have the right to make decisions on the spot?"

Murong An turned his head and didn't answer.

Xue Liang said again, "Chief Murong, let me ask you again, what happened to the army this time?" It's not because these Bayegu people are entrenched here. Coveting the population of scarce money and food. At present, he went out of the city to fight against the Bayegu people, because the food in the city was exhausted, and if he did not make a move, nearly 20,000 people would starve to death. Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang is an old man. is still responsible for leading the forward battle, that is, for the sake of everyone and the alliance. Now, although one of the camps of the Bayogu people has been defeated, it has only killed and injured dozens of people. If they don't take advantage of the victory, and wait for them to flee to report and the rest of the Baye Gu people, they will miss a great opportunity to break the enemy, and then they will join together to kill back. It is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy in vain. If you can't defeat the Bayo Guren because of this, who will bear this responsibility, and will you bear it? ”

Murong An said: "Lao Tzu can't say anything about you. However, the alliance leader's confession was to occupy the camp and wait for him to come. If you want to pursue, I can't stop you, but if something happens because of this, can you bear it? Can Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang bear it? ”

Zhang Sheng thought to himself. What could happen? There were only 200 cavalry left in the defeated army, and the nearest Bayegu man and horse from here were also a hundred miles away. Their 2,000 men pursued 200 men, and it was not a matter of being able to capture them. This Murong An has been obstructing him from chasing the enemy, but he is just unwilling to snatch this enemy-destroying merit by himself. At that moment, Zhang Sheng said loudly: "If there is something, the old man will bear it." ”

Murong Anxin sneered, what he was waiting for was your words. smiled at the moment: "Okay." Since Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang said so, there is nothing to say. But it was decided by Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang. ”

Zhang Sheng felt a little proud in his heart, how could he miss such a great opportunity. If he can destroy the Baye Gu people alone, then his prestige in the alliance will definitely increase greatly, and it will definitely be a heavy blow to Ling Yun. At that time, everyone will see that Ling Yun just speaks nicely and can blow. When faced with such a major event as dealing with the Baye Gu people, Ling Yun would only hide behind, while he, Zhang Sheng, rushed to the front with his brothers and defeated those fierce Mobei Hu people. In the green forest, it is also important to pay attention to strength. If he can break a thousand wild solid cavalry, this prestige will naturally be supported by more people. Even if Ling Yun really controlled the helmsman's men, if he could get the support of the Elders' Council and the branch rudder, these forces would add up to surpass Ling Yun and oust him from the position of alliance leader.

"Pass my order, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and don't let go of a wild wolf cub." Zhang Sheng glanced at Murong An, full of pride.

Murong An turned his head to the owners of the front camp and said, "Deputy Alliance Master Zhang ordered to pursue the fleeing enemy. ”

The other three battalion masters also passed down orders, and the orders were issued at all levels, and finally, 2,000 men and horses began to pursue.

Zhang Sheng didn't even stay in the back this time, but directly took the lead, and rushed forward with Luo Fang Xue Liang and eight hall masters, leading the four hundred cavalry. More than 200 defeated soldiers fled in front of the wolf, and Zhang Sheng followed closely with great momentum, not reluctantly. Ba Yetuo and so on ran for a long time, but how can not get rid of it, run for a long time, suddenly a river in front of the front, this is the seasonal river on the grassland, in summer, the rain is very much, it will merge into a river, but when it is autumn and winter, it will dry up and disappear without a trace. There is no fixed course for such a river at all, and there was no river here a few days ago, but after a rainstorm at this time, there is a turbulent river here, which stopped Bayeda and the others by the river.

Bayeda only felt a chill surging all over his body, and it was really heaven that was going to kill me. I don't know when, Zhang Sheng has led 400 cavalry successively, and quickly blocked them by the river.

The people of Baye Gu had no way to escape, so they turned around and fought again, but they were newly defeated, and there were only 200 men and horses, even if they fought against the water, they still couldn't rush out. The infantry of the rear brigade arrived, and the bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and all the 200 Bayegu people were finally killed by the river.

Zhang Sheng held the cavalry knife that was still dripping blood, and rode his horse proudly in front of Murong An, "Chief Murong, if it weren't for the old man's timely decision, these two hundred wild guys would have escaped." ”

All that answered him was an indifferent smile from Murong An.

Zhang Sheng didn't care about it this time, and continued: "By the way, where is the rest of the Baye Guren camp?" ”

"There are three temporary camps for the Bayegu people, we just brought their dog camp, and there are two left, one in Xigou and one in Dongtan, both of which are a hundred miles away from here, and there are also hundreds of miles between each other, both of which are in the territory of the Xi people." Xue Liang replied on the side, before coming, Ling Yun had already reported these several situations to them. "There are 300 horsemen in Dongtan, led by Bayo Sili, and there are 400 horsemen in Xigou, led by Bayo Du himself."

"You say these two places are a hundred miles apart?"

"That's right."

Zhang Sheng's heart moved, and he said: "These people are extremely arrogant, but they are a good opportunity for us to break the enemy. Now they may not know that we have broken the camp of the dogs, and now is a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory and march to break it. Manager Murong, did you say? ”

Murong An said lightly: "As long as Deputy Alliance Master Zhang is willing to take responsibility, there is no objection." ”

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can't be missed. I can't wait for the alliance leader to come, give the order to go down, drink the horses and drink water, and after resting for half an hour, we will go straight to Dongtan, first destroy the little cub of Baye Sili, and then kill the old thief Bayedu, and destroy them in one fell swoop.
