Chapter 151: The Turtle in the Urn

After only the two people left in the tent, the Thunderbolt Tiger and the Mountain Eagle appeared, and the two suddenly appeared, in the meeting and conversation just now, they were completely taken the initiative by that Dou Jiande, and in the end, they didn't even let the other party give any substantial goodness, and they didn't even have a promise.

They didn't know how Yi Lingyun was going to deal with the old sword-wielding allies now, and they didn't get the benefits that the other party had officially promised. This negotiation is simply being led by the nose.

"What kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd?" Lei Laohu gritted his teeth and frowned, "That person surnamed Dou won't be playing tricks on us, right?" ”

Xie Wendong had an intuition based on his years of experience in the rivers and lakes that Dou Jiande would never be playing with them, after all, the other party had already arrived in his camp and did not joke with his life. But he couldn't figure out why the other party had such an attitude and arrangement for a while, originally according to his assumption, after he took the initiative to secretly surrender to Yi Feng, the other party either didn't believe in himself, if he believed in himself, then the best arrangement was to let himself be the internal response, and when the Daqingshan Allied Army attacked Huaihuang, then he was inside, Yi Lingyun's Huaihuang army was outside, and the two sides should be joined by the outside, and the allied forces who killed the old knife were caught off guard, which was also the best arrangement. Or, after Ling Yun has his own internal response, he can take the initiative to fight, and he can even take advantage of the darkness to raid more steadily, and then in the chaos, his side will suddenly be difficult to fight back in Taoshan, create chaos in all directions, and even directly attack the old knife handle cottage on Taoshan, and come to a direct nest, which is also excellent.

But now the other party has no arrangements, and he refuses to even reveal half a plan. Just let them stare at the old knife handle and Zhang Cheng them, what's going on?

"Perhaps, Yi Feng has an early victory. There is no need for us to do internal response, and we are sure enough to extinguish the old knife handle. ”

After a long time, Xie Wendong said the result of his guess for a long time. Only with this possibility will the other party react so indifferently to their surrender. Not only did they not ask them to accept the name, but they did not even give the slightest promise of reward.

"If so, wouldn't that be great?" Thunder Tiger muttered, at least they didn't have to fight back desperately. The inside and the outside are combined. To be honest, 1,500 people rebelled against more than 20,000 people under Peach Mountain, and the pressure in his heart was still quite great.

"Confused!" Xie Wendong immediately shook his head. "If that's the case, it's not a good thing for us, it's a bad thing. Don't be afraid of being used as a chess piece, as long as you are used, it means that there is still value in use. If you don't even have the value of being used. Then you will be treated as an outcast. Do you understand? If we don't have the slightest help to Yi Lingyun. Then after he defeats the old knife handle, how can he still have our place there? ”

After hearing Xie Wendong point out that the relationship was very powerful, Lei Laohu's face couldn't help but change slightly, he didn't expect that his 1,500 people and horses were actually insignificant in Yi Feng's eyes. This made him very annoyed in his heart, not a taste. But when he thought about it, he suppressed this resentment in his heart, and Yi Feng was like this. But it also shows his strength. And bullying the soft and fearing the hard is exactly what every copycat person understands, a Yi Feng who does not put the 1,500 people in his eyes at all. It's not something they can offend at all.

Quietly, Xie Wendong's mentality has changed a lot, from waiting for the price to sell at the beginning, to desperately wanting to prove himself.

"Tiger, you personally take the best sentinel in the camp to Huaihuang, be sure to see Yi Lingyun and tell Yi Feng, we are ready and willing to advance for him. If Yi Lingyun personally accepts our surrender, you can just send someone back to report the news, and you will stay there first. Xie Wendong finally made a decision to let Lei Laohu go to Huaihuang, not only to find out the situation, but also to take the initiative to send hostages. Now that you've made your choice, you have to go straight to the end.

On the top of Peach Mountain, there is a pier, which is the commanding height of the entire Peach Mountain, and it is also a lookout of Peach Blossom Village. But today, the old knife handle made people set up a long table on the top of this pier, and the long table that was put together was covered with tablecloths, and there were bearded chairs on both sides. There are thirty-six positions on the side of the long table, which is the position of the thirty-six village owners who are the most powerful in the alliance, and the peach blossom village of the old knife handle of the alliance leader is also one of the thirty-six villages, and the old knife handle is still the leader of the alliance, so it is the position of the leader, the cool breeze in the evening of July is very refreshing, and behind each person's seat, there is a big flag, which is the flag corresponding to each cottage. Under the handle of the old knife is Zhang Cheng, the deputy leader of the alliance and the head of the Northern Alliance.

Xie Wendong came a little late, in fact, he was a little weak in his heart, and he had just decided to take refuge in Yi Feng, and the old knife handle here sent someone to invite him to the banquet. The sudden banquet reminded him of the word Hongmen banquet. But I couldn't shirk it, so I had to come back in the end. He staggered all the way up to the platform and made his way to his seat. He had a very tangled day, thinking about all kinds of things, which made him tired. Tonight he was going to drink more and get a good night's sleep.

It was already dusk, and the sky was full of fireflies, flying in the dim night sky, like a dream.

The chefs of Peach Blossom Village are already serving, and tonight's main dish is roasted swan. The white swans are roasted golden and crispy, the old knife handle is still there to introduce, there is a chicken in the belly of each swan, there is a pigeon hidden in the belly of the chicken, and the pigeon also hides the soft-shelled turtle egg in the belly.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xie Wendong said as he sat down in his place. His position is relatively high, even in the Thirty-six Villages, the strength of the Black Stone Village is also in the middle and upper.

"A mountain carving, you always compete for the first place on weekdays, why is it falling behind today?" The owner of Wuyang Village on the side said with a smile. In normal times, the mountain eagle would inevitably have a lot of words to joke with him, but today he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"The old man just received the scout report, Yi 13 is now gathering in Wild Fox City, it seems that he thinks that we will attack from Wild Fox City." The old knife handle watched as the maidservant, who was still young for a year, helped him peel off the swans layer by layer, took out the endless food inside, and put it on his plate. On the one hand, he said, "Yi 13 gathered 8,000 men and horses in Wild Fox City and 5,000 men and horses in Salt Lake City. Erlong City gathered three thousand, and Baiyun City released five thousand. He had moved all the horses to the west, and at this moment the helm of the Tigers was deserted, but there were only a thousand guards. ”

"Yi Thirteen is really a stupid soldier." Zhang Cheng laughed, "If he divides his troops everywhere like this, it is better to combine his troops in one place and divide them like this." I want to keep it everywhere, but in fact, I can't keep it everywhere. ”

"Hahaha!"

The owners of the village laughed together, and someone shouted. "Yi Thirteen was just lucky enough to win the careless Ba Yegu once, so he really thought he was a famous general. In the final analysis, he was just a yellow-haired boy who had not dried up, carrying the banner for the old boss of Murong and rushing into battle. It's still possible. But when it comes to arranging troops, he is still too tender. ”

"That's it!"

Everyone laughed, and Xie Wendong also pretended to laugh on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart. Although he had no evidence, he had already decided in his heart that the information of the old knife was absolutely false. Yi Lingyun couldn't be so stupid to arrange 20,000 people like this, remembering that his previous scouts were all captured by Yi Feng's scouts as soon as they went out. He knew that the scout with the old knife handle was also the result. This so-called military intelligence is also very likely to be nothing more than fake news. It's ridiculous that these people are still laughing at Yi Feng here for being stupid and immature, but they don't know that they have already been toyed with by others.

"I saw Lei Laohu go out of the camp with a team of men and horses today, where is this?" The head of Wuyangzhai asked.

Xie Wendong frowned, and said vaguely: "Tiger guy, it's even more uncomfortable to let him stay in the camp all day than to kill him." No, I went out hunting. ”

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "The tiger's horse team is really fierce, I have an idea, transfer the tiger's three hundred horse team to my reserve team, and when the battle is critical, let them go to the battlefield to directly impact the opponent's weak points, which will definitely play an excellent role." ”

Zhang Cheng's idea is actually the idea of the old knife, and the horse teams of each family are actually the most elite people of each family. However, it is very difficult to transfer the horse teams of each family. Therefore, the old knife master planned to draw half of the horse teams to assemble together in the name of forming a reserve, and called it a reserve, but as long as he could draw it out, how to command it was not up to him.

There is a very strong horse team in Heishi Village, with 800 horses, almost the core of Heishi Village, usually Lei Laohu leads 300 horses, Xie Wendong personally commands 500 horses, and then there are hundreds of guards in the village. Generally, when going out to do business, they take the horse team out, and the horse team in Heishi Village is in the top five in the 36 villages. Xie Wendong didn't expect that Zhang Cheng had never given up, and now he was directly looking for him first.

"Reserves?" Xie Wendong repeated Zhang Cheng's words, and the leaders of the villages were also looking at him, and each family was unwilling to hand over the most elite horse team, even if it was half of it. "The idea of the reserve team is good, the horse team has a very strong ability to break the formation, but if it is used in a dispersed way, it is really not very useful, but when used together, it is extremely powerful. The greater the number of horses, the greater the effect of swinging. This time, we brought five hundred horse teams from Heishi Village, if the deputy alliance leader thinks it is okay, I am willing to hand over one thousand foot soldiers to the deputy alliance leader for deployment, and the remaining five hundred horse teams."

He pondered for a while, and then said, "You can hand over the five hundred horse team to the deputy alliance leader as a reserve, but it is best to let it be commanded by a certain person, so that the power of the horse team can be better wielded." ”

"That's fine." The old knife handle made a timely sound. In his opinion, this is the support of the mountain eagle to them, the command of the foot soldiers was handed over to Zhang Cheng, and the horse team was handed over to them to be transferred as a reserve, although there is an additional condition to personally command, but it is also reasonable, after all, these horse teams are the treasures of each family, and the horse team is also the personal confidant of the owner of the village, and ordinary people really can't command.

It's just that the old knife handle and Zhang Cheng would never have thought that Xie Wendong had already calculated it in his heart when he heard Zhang Cheng propose to ask for a horse team. He was thinking about how to keep an eye on the old knife handle and Zhang Cheng, and now Zhang Cheng offered to transfer his horse team, which was not a good opportunity to plan the plan. Take the horse team to be a reserve, so that he doesn't have to worry about Zhang Cheng transferring him to take other tasks, and at the same time, the reserve team must follow Zhang Cheng's Chinese army, so naturally he will keep an eye on them.

The old knife turned to his son-in-law, "It is really admirable that the mountain carving thinks so much about the overall situation, and there is no doubt that after the war, there should be an extra share of the spoils." ”

"The Alliance Leader doesn't have to be like this." Xie Wendong said with a smile, "A certain is just obeying the overall situation." Just follow the command. ”

With Xie Wendong taking the lead, the other village owners finally handed over part of the horse team, whether they wanted it or not. In the end, Zhao Cheng put together a horse team of 3,000 people, which made Zhang Cheng full of confidence for a while.

A dinner party did not end until very late, and the old knife and son-in-law happily sent the owners of the village down the mountain.

The night had fallen, dyeing the countless flags of various colors on Peach Mountain in ink.

Xie Wendong went all the way down the mountain, slightly drunk, thinking that he had successfully achieved the task of staring at the old knife handle today, he couldn't help but laugh and fall on the bed. He soon fell asleep, until he was awakened by the deafening sound of a horn in the darkness, and his own soldiers shook his shoulders. He shouted in panic: "Owner of the village, wake up, owner of the village, wake up." ”

He sat up weakly. Lift the blanket. Outside, the horn had already sounded in the night sky, rapid and sharp, as if it were a shout. He heard the clamor of men, the clash of spears and spears, the neighing of horses, but he heard no fighting. "The horn is sounding," he exhaled, "what's going on, what's going on?" ”

The soldier shook his head. It was obviously not clear what was going on, but at this time there was a sound of footsteps outside. The head of his personal army lifted the curtain and strode in, reporting in a low voice, "The brother who is in charge of the family and patrols the mountains has appeared with Yi Feng's soldiers and horses!" ”

"What's going on?" Xie Wendong suddenly heard that the Huaihuang Army had arrived, and he was a little incredulous.

"Yi Feng has arrived." The captain of the pro-soldier said in an accentuated tone, "They took advantage of the night to march all the way, and they set up a formation less than three miles to the east of us, and there were thousands of people!" ”

The horn is still screaming, echoing.

"Assemble the horses and prepare to go with me." Although Xie Wendong was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Yi Feng actually didn't prepare for war in Huaihuang, but directly led his troops to the foot of Peach Mountain, but he still quickly came back to his senses. Yi Feng's sudden arrival did not make him panic, on the contrary, it made him excited in his heart. Yi Feng was as he expected, full of confidence. "Bring me my armor." He shouted to his soldiers, "Quick, put on my armor." ”

When he put on his armor, his own soldiers had already brought his war horse, and he turned over and got on his horse.

The young soldier asked a little nervously, "Big boss, can we win?" ”

Xie Wendong looked at the chaotic camp with a sly smile on his face: "Of course, we can win." ”

War drums sounded in the distance, low and dreary.

The five hundred horsemen of Heishizhai stepped on their horses one after another, and when Xie Wendong swung his spear out, the free fog in the air was gradually steaming by the rising sun in the east.

In the morning light of dawn, the Huaihuang army opposite the camp at the foot of the mountain was like a blooming steel rose, with thorns shining, but it stood there quietly, motionless. They didn't take advantage of the unpreparedness of the coalition forces under Momoyama and directly launched a surprise attack, they just set up a formation and lined up there solemnly and silently!

Compared with the immobile mountains of the Huaihuang Army, the camp of the Momoyama coalition army at this time was in chaos.

Many of the cottagers were still asleep when they were suddenly awakened by the horn of war and panicked. Many people didn't even wear clothes, they ran out of the tent barefoot, but after running for a while, they saw the steel army arranged like an iron wall on the opposite side of the mountain, and they retreated back one by one with pale faces.

After waiting for a while, the cottage soldiers and horses in the camp finally appeared, although the Huaihuang army suddenly killed, but they did not attack immediately. Just standing there quietly, as if waiting for them to get up.

The old knife handle and Zhang Cheng had already led their respective soldiers and horses to the bottom of the mountain, and the old knife handle erected a banner opposite the Huaihuang army, and the spearmen lined up in one column after another, putting the spears flat in their hands, pointing directly at the Huaihuang army. After the eight spear arrays were finally arranged, the gloomy face of the old knife handle finally melted a little. With these eight spear phalanxes, he had a little bottom in his heart, and he was no longer afraid that the Huaihuang army would enter the camp in one fell swoop.

Zhang Chengzheng mobilized the archers and established a long-range position behind the spearmen. The hurriedly assembled archers were adjusting their bowstrings, pulling out the arrows from the quiver and sticking them into the ground in front of them, so that they could draw and release their arrows as they moved. On either side of the archers, there were foot soldiers with horizontal swords and all kinds of messy weapons, which were formed by the men and horses outside the thirty-six villages.

On the left flank of these foot soldiers, there is the cavalry reserve just agreed yesterday, all cavalry, about 2,000 horsemen, originally said to be 3,000 horses, at this time the great enemy, many of the owners of the village did not hand over their horses as promised, still with them.

These village owners followed the old knife with their own horse team, surrounded by their men and horses, two-thirds of the foot soldiers, one-third of the horse team, as many as more than 6,000 people.

From a distance, at the foot of Peach Mountain, opposite the Huaihuang Army, the Qingshan Allied Army continued to converge and rectify, and finally gradually formed a huge military formation, with about 5,000 spearmen, archers, sword and shield soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers in front, more than 2,000 cavalry reserves on the left wing, about 5,000 cottage skirmishers on the right wing, and more than 2,000 cavalry and nearly 5,000 foot soldiers led by the old knife handle and several big village owners in the rear.

20,000 against 5,000, the cottagers from all walks of life who finally gathered in a formation saw that the number of soldiers and horses on their side was obviously several times that of the other party, and the panic in their hearts finally disappeared. Although they didn't understand why the Huaihuang Army didn't take advantage of the situation just now, the momentum exuded by the other party's military formation still made them secretly frightened. They never thought that the Huaihuang Army not only took the initiative to attack, but also was so fierce. For a moment, the old knife even suspected that the soldiers and horses in front of him were not the Huaihuang Army, but the elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty that Yi Feng borrowed from Yang Guang.

Here, Xie Wendong, the mountain carving, was already sitting on his war horse with a spear in his hand, his eyes would look at the silver-armored general under the Erzhang Daxu opposite for a while, and then he would turn to look at the figure of the old knife under the banner of the leader of the Chinese Army Alliance behind him. In his heart, he had already made up his mind, and there was no hesitation! The strength of the Huaihuang army was greatly beyond his expectations, even if the number of allied troops was several times that of the Huaihuang army, but looking at the momentum of both sides, the result of this battle was already known. Don't look at the Huaihuang army did not attack immediately, but they had already held the retreat of the allies and surrounded Momoyama.

Although the allies are numerous, they can be scattered, and now the back road has been cut off, and more than 20,000 men and horses are unable to fly, and none of them want to escape. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that he was moving fast, and he had already secretly surrendered to the Huaihuang Army.

"When the fight started for a while, I kept an eye on the old knife handle." Xie Wendong turned his head and said to the captain of his own soldiers.

The captain of the pro-soldier was as tall and strong as a bear, he didn't ask why, just nodded, and then turned his head to stare at the old knife handle, without even blinking an eye. (To be continued......)
