Chapter 2: Wu Hook (7b)
Baimayu is a small hill located at the northern foot of Wagang, the location is not dangerous, but it is just stuck on the official road from Wagang to Dongjun Fucheng. For those who are familiar with the grass and trees near Wagang Mountain, there are countless shortcuts to get to Fucheng. For the officers and soldiers who had not been in Dongjun for a few days, it was the only way they could walk.
"It should be a gale!" Cheng Zhijie said a black sentence casually, turned his head and ordered the three battalions of soldiers and horses around him to turn around and head north. His position in Wagang Mountain was second only to Xu Maogong, so he could directly command the three most elite battalions. And Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin were also happy to obey his orders at this moment, because everyone understood that the enemy worthy of all the elites of the Wagang Army to deal with was definitely not an unknown person.
After walking along a path stepped by a sheep herder for half an hour, the heroes found the goal of the trip. The prey was at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and there were about two hundred people. Ride your horse along the official road that is not wide. At the end of the procession were more than 800 saddled mounts, brightly furnished and tall. After that, there is their main general. Riding on top of a black telebia, his armor was also pitch black, like a rolling rock.
"Hurry up, intercept him, and avenge the secret duke!" Uncle Wang roared in a hoarse voice. The two sides were separated by a river valley and a gentle slope, so he was not afraid that the enemy would hear him. He can't forget that the other party's lord will be burned to ashes, and the scars on Mi Gong's face and the cane in his hand are all due to this person.
Li Mi is a personable child of a family, even if he does not have the legend of his real name Son of Heaven as a background, he can impress a large number of people with his excellent appearance and knowledge in his chest. And now, he has become a numb-faced cripple, and his image is ruined. In the future, even if the Wagang Army conquers the world, many guys who judge people by their appearance will not be willing to support Li Mi as the king again.
As the temporary commander-in-chief, Cheng Zhijie's hatred for the enemy is not as strong as that of Wang Bodang. At this moment, he was thinking more about how to complete the task assigned by Xu Maogong. "Xiongxin, your battalion has left two hundred men to pack up their baggage. The other brothers gave up their horses and heavy shields, and if we walked in a straight line and turned over the carp's back, we would definitely be able to intercept the enemy in Baimayu! After a moment's deep thought, he immediately made a decision. The back of the carp was a very steep hill ahead, and the cavalry could not climb it, so they had to follow the official road around it. The Wagang minions, who were born in the mountains, could directly cross the ridge, and walked nearly twenty miles less than the enemy troops under the mountain.
"Whisper backwards, walk the carp's back. Abandon mounts and heavy shields. Jia Wenbin, the flag officer, sorted out Cheng Zhijie's order and turned it into a practical instruction.
"Whisper backwards, abandon the mount and heavy shield, and walk on the back of the carp!" One by one, the soldiers quickly passed the order backwards. Cheng Zhijie, Wang Bodang and others took the lead in jumping off their mounts, carrying their weapons on their shoulders, and taking the lead into another, steeper path. Xie Yingdeng and Shan Xiongxin arranged the aftermath and immediately followed up. More than 6,000 soldiers quickly disappeared quietly behind the golden woods like the mountain wind.
The cavalry at the foot of the hill seemed to be aware of the danger coming from above, and suddenly increased their speed. The sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder, passing through the dense forest and reaching the ears of the Wagang soldiers. When the soldiers heard this, they pressed harder and harder. The two teams with a deep blood feud with each other have been singing like this, and they have pounced on the same place in the competition.
"They're going to save the faint king!" While running, Cheng Zhijie analyzed with Shan Xiongxin and others. "Otherwise, the soldiers will not provide them with war horses. Those beautiful war horses must have been provided by the government soldiers, and the people of Qi County couldn't afford such good mounts! "The road was a bit steep, and many times he had to put the lance up as a crutch. The guy who was about to kill was obviously not in tune, and he hung the old branches above his head, bringing autumn leaves like snow.
"To threaten the safety of the faint king, the Turks can get at least more than 100,000 wolf riders. With more than 1,000 people, he dared to fight with 100,000 enemy troops, and that guy was really loyal to the faint king! Xie Yingdeng's wheezing voice was like a bellows, mixed with his insights.
Among the generals, only Cheng and Xie guessed the true intentions of the county soldiers. So, the few leaders around listened in confusion. But as Cheng Zhijie and Xie Yingdeng explained one by one, everyone quickly understood the importance of this battle.
"Killing them not only avenges the secret prince. It also solved a big problem for the world's heroes! "I don't know if it was because he ran too fast or because he was too excited, Wang Bodang's ears, neck and face were red as if they had been soaked in blood." With this great achievement, our Wagang Army is enough to command the heroes of the world! ”
"Intercept the enemy first!" Shan Xiongxin slapped Wang Bodang in the back, interrupting his good dream. The 6,000-watt gang army intercepted 1,000 county soldiers, except for the advantage of terrain, the other conditions may not be too favorable. Many low-level soldiers are still apprehensive about the battle of the canal, and it is still unpredictable whether they can give full play to the effect of the training for more than a month when they are about to fight.
After listening to Shan Xiongxin's words, the generals no longer looked forward to how to share the results after the victory, but really compared the combat effectiveness of the two sides in their hearts. "The Wagang army does not have an advantage, and if you defeat the other party by luck, you will lose more than half of your own losses!" Cheng Zhijie frowned and calculated. "If Yang Guang was really killed by the Turks, would the Wagang army be considered a merit, or would it be a fault?"
The question was so profound that it tormented him all the way. Until everyone went around to Baimayu, the formation blocked the intersection. Cheng Zhijie still hasn't figured out a clue. His preoccupied appearance affected the morale of the whole army, so much so that as soon as the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, someone had already nervously released feather arrows.
The sparse feathered arrows flew through the sky, and with a little autumn glow, landed in front of the scout horses who were exploring the way. Realizing that the road ahead was blocked, the well-trained scouts immediately turned their horses' heads and blew their horns as they fled. "Woo-woo-woo" The poignant sound of the horn accompanied by the sudden mountain wind made people shudder. "Woo-woo-woo-woo" A few short, rapid horns responded quickly, and immediately afterward, the cavalry of the brigade turned the official road and quickly rushed towards the valley.
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the beating made people's scalps tremble. The officer and general who acted as the vanguard was a veteran, and quickly adjusted the formation, forming an attack array with Wu Shicai riding two hundred paces away from the pass. The valley ahead is too narrow, so it is impossible for both sides to fight each other in the first place. The first wave of attacks came to an abrupt end with only a brief probing, and the Wagang army stabilized their defensive line at the cost of more than 100 casualties, while leaving nearly twenty corpses behind by the opponent.
For a long time to come, both sides began to wait for a long time. The soldiers waited for the arrival of the follow-up men in order to concentrate their full strength in the next attack. The Wagang army waited for the soldiers to regain their strength in order to wash away the shame of the defeat that day.
Li Xu, Luo Shixin, Qin Shubao, and the three tigers under Zhang Xutuo will appear in front of the formation in turn. Xu Maogong, Zhang Liang, Wu Heimin, and the rest of the Wagang Army also arrived one after another. The two sides looked at each other from a distance of two hundred paces, and they could see the surprise on each other's faces and the sweat rolling down their foreheads.
Cheng Zhijie saw several commanders in the enemy formation on the opposite side discussing, and then he saw Li Zhongjian riding out of the battle. "Why did this person switch to a lance?" He was amazed. At the same time, I heard Wu Heimin shouting with concern beside him, "Brother Maogong, don't go out and talk nonsense with him." Last time, Mi Gong was deceived by him like this. That guy's arrows shoot more accurately than they did back then......"
Soon, Wu Heimin closed his mouth. Because Xu Maogong refused to listen to his persuasion at all, when he saw the enemy's main general coming out, he immediately walked up to meet him. After a few breaths, Niu Jinda pulled out a horizontal knife and protected Xu Maogong's side. In order to prevent accidents, Cheng Zhijie and Xie Yingdeng also stepped forward one after another and protected Xu Maogong on the other side.
The nervous appearance of the Wagang army caused a wave of disdain from the enemy army, as if they were about to demonstrate, Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin also followed Li Xu's side left and right. Immediately after, Wu Heimin came out of the crowd and stood side by side with Niu Jinda with a steel fork. Five steps against three horses, if the war horses are also included, the Wagang army does not have much advantage.
"Spearmen prepare, if both sides move, immediately step forward to protect the boss!" Zhang Liang, who stayed in the formation, prepared for the worst and ordered a team of veterans of the Wagang Army to be on standby at all times. The riders on the opposite side reacted immediately, and more than two dozen people leveled their lances and put on a charging posture.
The atmosphere on the battlefield was so tense that you could smell the smoke, and if there was an unexpected wind, the fire would be ignited immediately. In this red-hot atmosphere, Asahiko, who was riding on a horse, suddenly spoke, and the smile on his face was like autumn sunshine, instantly warming the eyes of many people.
"Big Eyes, Kuroko, Brother Niu, it turns out that you are all here!" Li Xu smiled and bowed to a few old friends.
"It's not so easy to die at the hands of you, a dog official!" Wu Heimin returned the scolding without grace. suffered losses at the hands of Xuzi again and again, and he had a lot of resentment in his heart, so he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately and fork Xuzi's thigh.
"Kuroko, don't make people laugh at our Wagang Army!" The expression on Xu Maogong's face seemed to be smiling, he first reprimanded Wu Heimin, and then returned the courtesy, "I've been here since I came back from Saiwai, but I didn't expect to meet you here, and I didn't expect you to pay homage to the marquis so soon!" ”
Worshipping the marquis is a common dream of two people when they were young. At that time, they crossed mountains and mountains, savoring life and exchanging dreams for the future. Li Xu's dream is to be a county lieutenant, so that those yamen gangsters who are rampant in the township will restrain their arrogance, and from now on they will be respectful to their father and uncle. Xu Dayan's dream is to establish his own family, so that those children of the family who are above the top know that the talents and achievements of a commoner son and nephew from Shanglu are no worse than those of any noble bloodline.
It was also a sunny autumn, when the mountains were higher than the mountains in front of you, and the roads were more dangerous than the roads in front of you.
But at that time, the two supported each other and took care of each other.
Now, they had to raise their knives at each other.
