1549 There Are Only Two Paths

With his left hand holding the collar of the back of the neck of the Jiangdong Army officer, and his right hand holding a long sword across the officer's neck, the leading dragoon guard's face was already stained with blood, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, staring at the Jiangdong Army that surrounded him and his companions like a killing god.

The officer of the Jiangdong Army, who was held hostage by him, looked at his companions around him with fear on his face, and hoped that the dragoon guards would spare his life.

The six dragoon guards were back to back, long swords in their hands, staring at the Jiangdong army gathered around.

Each of their faces was covered with blood, except for their eyes, a hint of white, and the skin on their faces was almost a purple black that was unique to blood when it dried up.

Several Jiangdong soldiers tentatively took two steps towards the besieged dragoons, and when the dragoons glared at them, they hurriedly retreated.

The grain and grass that had been lit made a "beep" sound in the flames, and although the Jiangdong Army was struggling to put out the fire, the flames were burning more and more vigorously.

The sky-high flames illuminated almost the entire barracks, as well as the figures of the six dragoons.

"Kill!" The Jiangdong army, surrounded by six dragoon guards, was just surrounded around, and no one dared to rush forward, and a roar suddenly came from behind the crowd: "Kill them all, delay the front, behead!" ”

Just listening to the voice, Jiang Dongbing knew that it was Ling Tong who came.

Although Ling Tong is young, he is very strict in governing the army, and if he says that he is sluggish, he will definitely make some moves.

If you step forward, you will die, and if you don't step forward, you will die, and the Jiangdong army finally hardened, shouted, and rushed towards the six dragoon guards.

The Jiangdong Army attacked, and the dragoon guards holding the officer hostage fiercely slashed their long swords at the officer's neck.

The sharp blade slashed through the officer's neck, and a stream of blood shot out, and the Jiangdong officer, who had been cut through the neck, rolled his eyes and collapsed limply.

As soon as the officers fell, groups of Jiangdong troops rushed up.

The Jiangdong army rushed forward, and the six dragoons immediately swung their long swords and slashed at them.

The Jiangdong army in front rushed up, and the people behind pushed them and crashed into the six dragoons who were surrounded in the middle.

The surging Jiangdong Army swept towards the Dragoon Guards like the tide of the sea, drowning them in an instant.

At the very center of the wave, there were a few "ripples" at first, but gradually it calmed down, and the dragoon guards were finally submerged in it, and there was no more resistance.

The fire was blazing, and the ignited grain and grass could not be snatched out, and the fire reflected the place where he was still fighting, and the faces of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were all red from the flames.

Ling Cao pressed the long sword on his waist, separated the soldiers from the periphery and walked towards the center, and the soldiers scattered to the side.

When he walked to the place where the dragoons were standing just now, his brows tightened when he saw the scene in front of him.

There were only six men who were cut down by the Jiangdong Army to the point that there was hardly a piece of good meat on their bodies.

The six men were covered in blood, and their clothes were soaked with blood, and they couldn't distinguish the color of their clothes.

When the Jiangdong army surrounded saw Ling Tong stepping forward, they all stepped aside, and they all stared blankly at the six dragoon guards who were lying in a pool of blood.

Around the dragoons, there were the corpses of the Jiangdong Army lying on the ground, just a cursory glance, there were about sixty or seventy people.

Killing six dragoon guards, the Jiangdong army actually paid more than ten times the price!

They didn't know if the reason why the dragoon guards would be killed by them was because the disparity in numbers was too great, and the Jiangdong Army's charge could not be resisted by six people.

Once the Dragoons are given enough space, they will pay a lot more than they are now!

Looking at the corpses of the six dragoons, Ling Tong waved his hand and instructed Jiang Dongjun: "Such heroes, bury them alive!" ”

Six dragoon guards were killed by the Jiangdong Army, and in the Yulin Wei military camp, Zhao Yun stood outside the barracks, looking at the direction of the burning fire from a distance, his face was solemn.

"General, it's already late at night......" Standing beside Zhao Yun, Tao Hu reminded him in a whisper: "Tomorrow I will lead the army to retreat......

"I really want to come forward and fight!" His brows gradually locked, and Zhao Yun asked Tao Hu, "General Tao, do you think they will come back?" ”

Knowing that he was asking about the dragoons, Tao Hu didn't say anything.

Born as a mountain man, he was not very good at lying, and if he said that the six dragoons would come back alive, he must be deceiving Zhao Yun.

Tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops, a battle during the day, has suffered a big loss, at night, the defense must be much stricter than usual, six dragoon guards Xuan Zhi Zhi rate cut the cone Tong

In particular, the Dragoon Guard successfully lit a fire in the Jiangdong Army barracks, and judging from the momentum of the fire, it looked like grain and grass were being ignited and were burning.

Grain and grass are materials that will be strengthened when any large army goes on an expedition, and if they are ignited, the possibility of the dragoon guards coming back is even more remote.

"You think they're not going to come back?" Looking at the direction of the burning fire, Zhao Yun took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and said to Tao Hu: "Light the enemy's grain and grass, tomorrow morning, the enemy army will definitely attack our army, our army is afraid that if we don't wait for dawn, we will have to leave as much as possible!" ”

Although Yu Linwei had few people, he would not be afraid of the Jiangdong army, which was much larger than them.

The reason why Zhao Yun said that he wanted to leave as much as possible was only one reason, that is, he had to lead the Jiangdong Army to the vicinity of Zhou Yu's military camp.

Sima Yi must have a deep intention in making such a decision, and perhaps this intention is not as simple as he asked the dragoon guard to say!

The fire was blazing, and the Jiangdong Army barracks had exploded.

Before the grain and grass were burned, the killing of a few soldiers was no longer a big deal.

Ling Cao's father and son stood not far from the grain storage place, looking at the fire that almost burst into the air, their faces were very ugly.

"There are only six of them?" Furrowed frowns, Ling Cao asked Ling Tong on the side.

Ling Tong nodded and said nothing.

He was also taken aback when he saw the six corpses that had been killed.

With the strength of six people, he was able to enter the army and set fire to the grain and grass in front of countless Jiangdong troops.

If you don't have hundreds or thousands of elite soldiers, it's really hard to do it.

But the dragoon guards did it with six people, and they infiltrated the Jiangdong army camp, not wearing the clothes and armor of the dragoons, but just dressed as a night walk.

When they fought with the Jiangdong Army, they had already changed into the clothes and armor of the Jiangdong Army, so that the Jiangdong Army did not know their origin at all, but only knew that they came from the Han army camp opposite.

"The enemy is so good, I should be more careful in the future!" Staring at the flames, Ling Cao said to Ling Tong: "The grain and grass have been burned, and our army has only two ways out. One is to immediately retreat back to Jianye, and the other is to advance as quickly as possible, start a decisive battle with Zhou Yu, and seize the grain and grass from them! ”

"Father thinks our army is in good shape?" did not propose a constructive suggestion, Ling Cao asked Ling Tong.

His face was solemn, Ling Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he said to Ling Cao: "The way back to Jianye is long, once our army retreats, the enemy may come from behind." After thinking about it, my father still felt that our army should step up its advance and start a decisive battle with Zhou Yu. Once Zhou Yu is defeated, what is the matter with just grain and grass! ”

"Father!" Before Ling Cao could speak, Ling Tong whispered to him: "During the day, our army fought with the enemy army, and the number of enemy troops was obviously less than our army, but when the two armies fought, our army suffered a lot. With the enemy's combat strength, if our army wants to defeat them, I am afraid it will not be easy! ”

Ling Tong's words happened to be what Ling Cao was worried about.

His face became more and more solemn, and Ling Cao sighed lightly and said: "My father also knows that our army fights with the enemy, and does not have the absolute upper hand, but the matter has come to this point, and we have no way back, only to fight!" ”

What Ling Cao said was indeed the situation that Jiangdong Army was facing at the moment.

Standing beside him, looking at the raging fire, Ling Tong didn't have much to worry about the future battle.

He is still young, although he knows that the enemy army is not easy to deal with, but for him, the more difficult the battle, the more attractive he feels!

"Father, there are only two options for the enemy to set fire!" After a while, Ling Tong seemed to remember something, and said to Ling Cao: "If they don't attack our army immediately, they are looking for an opportunity to retreat. Although the child did not know why the enemy army was retreating, he always felt that this was quite strange. ”

Turning his head to look at Ling Cao, Ling Tong's face showed a touch of contemplation.

"Someone!" After a while, Ling Cao instructed the soldiers on the side: "Send people to investigate the enemy's movements, and if there is any abnormal movement, report it immediately!" ”

The soldier answered, turned and left.

After a while, two fast horses rushed out of the Jiangdong military camp.

The two fast horses that left the barracks went all the way in the direction where Yulinwei was stationed, but the fire in the Jiangdong Army barracks showed no signs of being extinguished.

The fire burned for most of the night, and when the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army finally extinguished the fire, the grain and grass were already burned, and they were still edible, at most, they could only support the soldiers to eat for a day or two.

Many soldiers of the Jiangdong Army walked back and forth in the place burned to ashes by the fire, searching for edible grain and grass.

Other Jiangdong troops dug deep pits in the open space outside the barracks and buried the bodies of the dead Jiangdong soldiers and the six dragoons.

The two Jiangdong soldiers lifted the broken body of a dragoon, and when they lifted the body, one of them whispered to the other: "Brother, he seems to have moved!" ”

The other Jiangdong soldier was taken aback, looked at the body of the dragoon guard carefully, and made sure that it was completely dead, so he sighed and said to the Jiangdong army who spoke first: "There are a hundred and ten strokes if you take a few words, even if it is a fierce tiger, it is dead." You must have been scared so badly! ”

Jiang Dongjun, who said that the dragoon guard had moved, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the corpse carefully, and made sure that it was dead, so he still carried it with his companions to a deep pit with some apprehension in his heart.
