Chapter 120: Eradication
(Thank you for your support and the early Tang Dynasty Wang Bo, thank you!) οΌ
The water of the Stone River is not deep, but there is also water nearly waist deep, more than 50 steps wide. Nearly half of the people and horses of Bayegu and Xi had already crossed the river, and at this time, they were violently ambushed by Ling Yun and others, and they were immediately caught off guard.
The wolf bèi fled for his life, and Zhang Sheng, who had lost his armor, was as anxious as a lost dog, and was secretly sighing that the sky was going to kill me. But when he saw this drastic change, he was stunned for a while. Just as he was thinking about where to kill such a team of men and horses to save his life, suddenly Luo Fang rode over and shouted to him happily: "Master, it's Yi Feng who has arrived, and they are all his people." In his excitement, he even forgot about the habit of only calling Ling Yun thirteen.
Hearing that it was Ling Yun who led his troops to ambush here, Zhang Sheng felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. He thought that this trip he would be able to destroy Baye Gu in one fell swoop and make a great achievement. But he didn't think about it, and in the end he was defeated. His mind was racing, and he was already thinking about what was next. The group of people led by Ling Yun is estimated to have been brought by him from the south, and it is even possible that he has even transferred the old subordinates of the White Horse Hall. But this guy didn't reveal the slightest rumor in advance, and asked him to command the forward, which obviously knew that Baye Guren and a Xiren slave army had deliberately dug a pit and waited for him. But he still couldn't say it, and when he took down the dog, Murong An's words were still in his ears. At that time, he thought that it was just Murong An who was afraid that he would rob him, but now it seems that Murong An must have known about the current situation, and he deliberately led himself into the pit step by step.
Now what? He did not obey Lingyun's orders and forcibly marched into the army, resulting in a great defeat. Ling Yun had long wanted to get rid of himself. Isn't this a clear display of the hilt of the knife in his hand? In front of the scene, it seems that Lingyun Huangque is behind, and he will definitely be able to defeat Baye Guren. Ling Yun will be the hero of the Alliance. And he was about to be taken down by Ling Yun. What to do?
Zhang Sheng looked back at the battlefield, and the hundreds of horsemen who had been killed left and right had cut off the pursuing Bayegu and Xi people, separated on both sides of the Shihe River, and a large number of archers had surrounded the Bayegu and Xi people who crossed the river, and were harvested by bows and arrows and spears.
It won't take long. These more than 1,000 Xi people and 300 Bayegu people will fall here.
Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth, suddenly turned the horse's head, and waved his lance. shouted angrily: "Follow me, kill these bitches!" Kill a wild wolf cub, Lao Tzu will reward ten dollars! β
Lingyun's victory is decided. Zhang Sheng can only find a way to make up for his mistakes now.
Luo Fang and Xue Liang, the eight hall masters, and the others were stunned first. I came back to my senses immediately. If they are defeated like this, they will probably have to shed their skin, but if they reflexively kill back, they may be able to make up for some mistakes. Suddenly, the defeated soldiers, who had just run faster than rabbits, began to turn their heads one after another, encouraged by victory. If you go against the wind, you will flee from the wind. Times. then beat the water dogs. This is exactly what copycat minions have always been capable of.
One after another, the defeated soldiers turned and rushed forward with a wild scream, charging at the scattered Hu people who were charged by the cavalry. The mountains do not turn around. Mountains and rivers meet. Twenty years in Hedong, twenty years in Hexi, the hated father and mother who were chased just now had two legs, and in the blink of an eye, the shape was reversed, and they could finally turn around and chase these damn Hulu and cut them.
In the middle army on the south bank, Ling Yun rode on a horse and saw this qiΔ in his eyes. This Zhang Sheng is also very familiar with the wind and rudder, but unfortunately he can't stay.
Just thinking about how Tuoba Hengdao would strike, Liu Heimin rode his horse over, saluted him, and reported: "Brother Dou sent me to report to the alliance leader, Baye Du is leading a large number of men and horses to rush here, only ten miles apart, they have nearly 3,000 men and horses, all of them are light horses. Brother Dou said, please be more careful. β
"Where are so many people?" As the head of the military and military adviser in Lingyun, Sima Deji asked puzzled. Although this Bayegu is one of the great tribes of Tiele, with 60,000 households and a population of more than 100,000, the total number of soldiers and horses in their tribe is not more than 10,000. Moreover, they are still far away in Mobei, and this time there are only a thousand horsemen who go south.
"It's Xiren." Yu Wenhua, who followed the spectators, said with a smile, he was very confident in Ling Yun, and this time he took the initiative to follow the battle, as if he was here to enjoy the battle scene, as if he was here to participate in the hunt. "The Bayegu people have recently attacked many Xi tribes, so there are also many Xi prisoners of war and slaves."
On the grassland, the law has always been the strong. Not to mention the battles between several major tribes, even the tribes within the same race often fight. The war on the steppe was very cruel, often the defeated tribe strong men were beheaded or sold into slavery to other tribes, and then the women and children were taken into slavery, and even some of the younger ones were organized into slave soldiers. And the people of the steppes seem to have adapted to this tradition, and after many tribes were wiped out, the remaining people were slaves to the victors, and even fought for them. But if they have the strength, they will often rise up again.
"Three thousand horsemen, this number is estimated, should we retreat for the time being, and the whole team is ready to fight?" Yang Wei also put forward a conservative opinion. Three thousand cavalry, just listening to the numbers can be scary. Although there are only 400 Bayegu cavalry in this, and the rest should be the Xi slaves they have just conquered, who is sure that those Xi people will not work for the Bayegu people when they arrive?
"Pass the order, speed up the battle, and we must defeat the enemy in front of us before the arrival of Banodu." Ling Yun said, as if the three thousand cavalry did not pay too much attention to his heart. "Hei Min, you sue SΓΉ Jiande, let him keep an eye on Bayano and report their location every quarter of an hour."
"Yes!" Liu Hei Minle turned the horse's head and rode away.
Twenty miles of road, said far is not far, said close but not close. With the degree of cavalry, it can be reached almost instantly. But Lingyun can't retreat immediately, Shihe is actually the best battlefield, as long as they can defeat the enemy here before the light cavalry arrives, and even as long as they can wipe out the enemy soldiers on the south bank, they will not be afraid of pulling out the wilderness at all.
"Fly forward," he ordered one of the heralds beside him, "and let the hussars regroup, retreat to the left and right, and hold the flanks against the river." "In the face of the three thousand light cavalry that is coming, the biggest weakness of Lingyun's department, which lacks chariots and strong camps, is that it is easy to be broken through the formation by light cavalry, so it is urgent to let the cavalry withdraw from the battlefield in advance and hold the two wings along the river. As long as the cavalry held both wings. With the stone river as the block, coupled with the bows and crossbows of the infantry army, Ling Yun was sure to stabilize the formation. Then kill these Hu people. After all, the other side only has 400 Bayegu cavalry, and the rest are prisoners of war, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will of these people will definitely not be high.
Zhang Sheng took the lead, taking the defeated troops who had retreated before, and fought back. He knew that this was his chance to atone for his sins. More than 1,000 defeated soldiers also fiercely recoiled back at this time. The sullenness of crying dad and shouting mother who was beaten along the way just now burst out with the passionate war drums. They carried knives and guns. Chase after the enemy who has been defeated by a rain of arrows and light cavalry.
Under the strangulation of the Lingyun Inner Army and the new army of the Tiger Alliance, the pursuers of Baye Sili were defeated and retreated, and they were harvested like wheat and fell in pieces. In particular, the half that was divided and surrounded had already crossed the river. In the blink of an eye, there is no longer any resistance in formation, it is completely crippled and scattered, and it will be completely submerged in the encirclement at any time.
Baye Sili was in a hurry, he wanted to rush over several times to join the front, but the more he rushed, the more weak he became, and gradually his side also lost a lot of men and horses, but the front part was already submerged.
The Tigers finally gained absolute superiority on the battlefield, and the Hu people who crossed the river were almost annihilated. Only a small number of them are still struggling to support, rushing left and right.
Right now. The sound of gold sounded, and Ling Yun ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
Zhang Sheng picked up a taunt with a spear, and was chasing after him, frowning when he heard this voice.
"The leader of the alliance has an order, collect the troops and retreat to the south bank." The heralds galloped across the battlefield, shouting orders over and over again.
Zhang Sheng looked at the Hu people who had fled north, shook off the blood on the knife, and looked back at the Lingyun army formation on the south bank. The fierce cavalry had already retreated as ordered, retreating to both flanks. And those infantry soldiers wearing red military robes also stopped their pursuit, returned to the river like a stream of water, and began to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded of friendly soldiers, and mend the knives of the undead of the Hu people.
"Master." Luo Fang saw Zhang Sheng standing there with a gloomy face and didn't speak, and woke up.
"Hu Gou only has about 300 defeated soldiers left, don't run for them, chase them!"
"But"
"The leader of the bullshit alliance ordered, don't eat the fat that you put in your mouth, and let him fly?" After experiencing a defeat in Nantan, Zhang Shengyue wanted a victory at this time. Especially after seeing the red-clothed soldiers and horses beside Ling Yun, the more uneasy he became. For him, a victory is the only way to settle down now.
"Chase!" Zhang Sheng took the lead, as if he had not heard the voice of Mingjin. Luo Fang and the others hesitated, and they all rode their horses to follow. The new troops of the Tiger Alliance were originally killing with great strength, and they were still a little puzzled when they heard the sound of Mingjin, but now they saw that the two deputy alliance leaders and the hall masters led the crowd to continue the pursuit, and they followed without hesitation.
In the South Shore Formation, Yu Wenhua said to Ling Yun with a smile on his face: "Oh, San Lang's order doesn't seem to have any effect." β
A cold glint flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, "If you do your own evil, you can't live." He turned to Cheng Lou and said, "Leave them alone, add up the whole team, and prepare to fight." β
Zhang Sheng led a group of minions to chase all the way at this time, pulling out the wild Sili wolf bèi and fled, and in just half a day, their situation was adjusted. Zhang Sheng, who had just been chased by his wild thoughts, had no way to go to the sky. Now, Zhang Shengchai's wild thinking is seamless.
Chasing and chasing, the Hu people who fled in front suddenly burst into a burst of cheers, and then only heard the rumbling of hooves, as fast as a shower, and in the dark night, countless torches flashed and killed from the hillside in front, and the number was more than a thousand horses.
Baye Sili, who had just fled in defeat, also came to life immediately at this time, and all of them turned their horses around and killed them again.
Without waiting for Zhang Sheng's order, the minions who had just turned over to be the master's pursuit had already seen that the situation was not good, shouted in unison, and quickly turned around and ran back. Zhang Sheng opened his mouth and didn't say anything, his face was full of defeat, knowing that he was completely finished this time. Disobeyed orders twice, but was defeated twice, how could Ling Yun let himself go now?
In a trance, suddenly a strong wind sounded, Zhang Sheng was cold, and before he could react, a long arrow had pierced his heart, he fell off the horse, and the black face of his own soldiers in front of the horse came into view, he stretched out his hand to let him help himself up, but what he waited for was a sharp knife out of the sheath. His face was horrified, but the personal soldier had already stabbed him in the heart, and then he bowed down and whispered in his ear: "Elder Tuoba asked me to give you a ride!" β
"Tuoba Horizontal Knife?" Zhang Sheng's eyes gradually drifted, and he didn't blink, "Why, why, why"
In the chaos of the night, this scene was not present, and the same scene was still being played.
Later, Hu cavalry rushed to kill, and the Tiger League was defeated again, and the defeated soldiers fled to the Shihe side of the main formation like a swarm. No one is present, in this trend of rout and escape, Zhang Sheng, who once controlled half of the forces of the Tiger Alliance, died at the hands of his family, and no one appeared, and the eight hall masters were also in chaos, and they were suddenly attacked and assassinated by people close to them.
Luo Fang and Xue Liang were also assassinated, but both of them were young and brave, and although they were chaotic and defeated, they were still cautious and vigilant.
Xue Liang covered the wound on his arm, and when he found Luo Fang, he was staring at the corpse of the assassin who had just had his throat cut.
"Don't look at it, this person is not from the alliance, at least not from the people we know." Xue Liang's arm was slashed deeply, the blood flowed, he hastily pierced the wound, and the blood stained half of his body red, which was very scary.
Luo Fang looked at Xue Liang in surprise, "You were also assassinated?" β
Xue nodded, "I thought I was the only one to be assassinated, but I thought it was unlikely. Now seeing this corpse, I can already be convinced that this is not an accident. This is someone who wants us to die, and they are going to die quietly. β
"Who is going to kill us?" Luo Fang asked.
"Who else." Xue Liang sneered, "Of course it's Yi Thirteen, he has long wanted to get rid of us." First they arranged for us to take the lead against the Baye Gu people, and then arranged for the rear hand, in case we failed to kill people with a knife, they would directly let the assassins assassinate us in the chaos of the army. Who knows if we will be assassinated or killed at the hands of the rebels? What a ruthless calculation. β
Luo Fang held the knife and sneered, "It's a pity that Xiao Thirteen didn't expect us to be so blessed with such a fate, but it's a pity that the people he sent were too useless and cost him his own life." β
"It's not good, Deputy Alliance Master Zhang." Xue Liang's face suddenly changed drastically, if Ling Yun sent assassins to assassinate them, it would definitely not only be against them, the biggest target should be Deputy Alliance Master Zhang, and even including the Eight Hall Masters. At the thought of this, his heart was like ashes, and it seemed that Ling Yun no longer planned to give them a chance to live.
"Let's hurry up and remind the master of them." Luo Fang said urgently.
Xue Liang glanced at the corpse of the assassin on the ground, and then looked up at the riverbank position in the distance to the south, where the fire was lit and a group of soldiers and horses were waiting for them.
"It's too late, if what I expected, it is estimated that at this time, Deputy Alliance Master Zhang and they are already more than lucky. We can't go back to the Tiger League, and Yi 13 won't let us go. β
"I'm going to slaughter Yi Thirteen, this bastard."
"Big brother, calm down. If you go to Yi 13 now, you will only die in vain. If you believe me, come with me. β
"Where are you going?"
"The world is so big, you can get it." Xue Liang said coldly: "Big brother, as long as you remember, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." This account, we will definitely come back and settle it with Yi Thirteen in the future, let's go, we won't be able to leave if it's too late. β
Luo Fang looked back at the south a few times, and finally turned over and got on his horse, left the battlefield with Xue Liang, and disappeared into the night.
Bayodu took three thousand horsemen and horses, like a violent storm, and had already killed the edge of the stone river. Ling Yun gathered the defeated troops and was already in array.
"Win or lose, come on!" Ling Yun shouted in a low voice, there was no fear in his eyes, if he couldn't even beat a small pull, how could he talk about dealing with Yang Guang in the future? (To be continued......)
