"Childe, I caught the tongue of the two Hu people......"
Just when Zhu Biao led the army to gallop to Jiuyuan, the 'part of the cavalry' that Li Huizu mentioned in his pen finally saw the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty. But that doesn't mean they're safe. Not to mention the pursuers behind him, there have been more than one group of Hu cavalry in front of him alone.
Grizzled and dirty, with rotten robes and dirty armor, Yun Zheng still has a little 'heroic' at the moment. But Sheng Tengfang, the Huya general who was killed together, was seriously injured, and he was the highest-ranking official in the Han army that could not be ridden by 3,000 at the moment.
A first-class and upper-level skill, skilled in arching and horseing, decisive in killing, and arrogant in character, if Yun Zheng is only in the circle of the noble sons and daughters in the royal capital, he is definitely a top person. But on the battlefield of the million-dollar army, if he hadn't been fortunate enough to meet Sheng Tengfang, if it weren't for the loyal generals who always followed him around him, this young general who should be on the same level as Zhu Biao would have died on the spot.
"Did you ask what?"
"Hu Gou has been killed in Beiling, and they are all new troops who have come over with the old thief, with a total strength of more than 30,000-"
"Handled! This news is rotten in your belly, and you have commanded that no one of your men should reveal it. Yun Zheng didn't want to say anything. Ten times the strength of the Hu Dog, if you let your gang of people who have just escaped know about it, I am afraid that the little confidence that is left will also be lost, right?
The person who came nodded understandingly, and went down to deal with it. The head of the family beside Yun Zheng said in a low voice: "Son, you can't stay here for a long time. I don't even have saliva to drink, and I need to find a water source to rest! "And since there are all Hu Qi's eagle shooters here. That's not far from Hu Qi. It doesn't matter if this Hu cavalry is a large unit or a small team.
Now the whole army is exhausted, or too much, there are only 1,000 horsemen, and they can kill their own team of men and horses all the way by riding and shooting. Before the battle strength was restored, it was extremely bad to encounter the Hu cavalry horses.
Yun Zheng didn't make a sound, he naturally knew the current crisis. But the soldiers and horses have just settled, and this is really not the time to call up, at least it should be half an hour later.
In the midst of the distress, another person reported loudly: "General Yun! Found a few routers! β
But it is a regular dysprosium in the army.
Yun Zheng turned his head to see that a battle robe had become a brown general. is leading his subordinates to come over with a few men. When they arrived in front of Yun Zheng, those people saw the military salute, and they all hung their heads like frost.
Yun Zheng had seen such a small team more than once on the two-day escape, and if these scattered routs were gathered on the grassland, the number would definitely far exceed his three thousand horsemen. "Which one are you?"
One raised his head, looked at Yun Zheng's young face, and said tentatively: "You are the captain of Yu Linwei's Tun Military Academy...... General Yun? β
"It's me!"
"General Yu, the small one is also Yu Linwei's, and it is the leader of General Tang Ao, the captain of the Yue Cavalry. He was the cavalry of the Golden Guard. These two are villains, and the other is his subordinate. The last big one is the banner of the Yandong Army. β
Six people, five of whom are the royal capital forbidden army. This result made Yun Zheng's heart unspeakable.
The rout, the rout who can escape, you can't say that they didn't have the strength to fight, but compared to the people who died on the battlefield, the rout's will to fight is always one level worse. And the comparison between the forbidden army and the border army in a squad is 5:1, which cannot help but make the forbidden army feel ashamed.
But Yun Zheng can't scold, didn't he himself choose to die in battle and die in battle, the eldest brother is qualified to say the second brother. Fifty steps, why laugh at a hundred steps?
After more than half an hour, the Han army, which was still tired and tired, cheered up and drove to the southeast. Yun Zheng, who knew that Hu Qi had entered Beiling, did not dare to pull the team to the south road, so he planned to go southeast, leaving aside the most dangerous Zhengnan Road, on the one hand, on the other hand, there was a river in the southeast direction, and when he got there, he could at least solve the problem of drinking water for people and horses.
And with a water source, the helmet is a ready-made vessel. At least I can have a hot meal. The two days that I was surrounded on Baiping Mountain were short of water. The river below the mountain was occupied by Hu Qi, and a bloody battle broke out in both fetching water. Some of the water that came out of the bucket was stained red with blood.
No one thought that they would lose the lives of the whole army because of a wild grass, and after being surrounded. There is no shortage of grain and grass. Although Li Zhengfang's rear army carried 5,000 grain wagons, it was only half a month's ration for the whole army, and the more than 200,000 Han troops in the future also brought half a month's grain and grass when they marched.
Water source was the greatest danger at the beginning of the siege of the Han army. Until Hu Qi set fire to the mountain, before dusk that day, countless Han troops were still digging wells on the mountain.
A person can go two days without food, but not for a day without drinking water. On the way to escape, every water was the key monitoring place of Hu Qi, and Yun Zheng did not dare to lead the troops to go, for fear of falling into the net. How many people have been left behind in two days because of a water word? Of the more than 7,000 horsemen who broke out of the encirclement, half of them were left. Fuck my God, it's cloudy and windy, but it doesn't snow!
After walking more than ten miles to the southeast, a large silver river appeared in front of everyone. Do you say that there is ice on the surface of the river, and people who have drunk all the blood of horses are afraid of ice and ice?
At this moment, Yun Zheng directly felt that the team's mental outlook was flourishing.
Smoke rose from the riverbank, and the ice on both sides of the river had been cracked. The helmet really became a marching 'pot' at this moment.
But at last their heads were not fainted, and all the horses were on the other side.
Everyone knew what the consequences of large-scale cooking would be, so at the same time as the smoke was rising, Yun Zheng took the masters of the army and the generals to think about whether the bridge could be demolished. But the sturdy piers made of lime glutinous rice slurry, and the bridge deck made of stone beams and blue bricks ruthlessly told him that he didn't even think about completing this wish in a short time.
With the hot soup in his stomach, Yun Zheng simply forgot his troubles and enjoyed the first meal in recent days. Such coarse food, in the past, he just endured to eat it, but after the fiasco and the tempering of life and death, he now eats so sweet.
Then this place, this water source, the Han soldiers and horses are resting. If his whereabouts are exposed, he will be exposed, so him!
βββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββ
Huaiyuan County, Meixi.
I didn't hear from Li Yirong all day, and Li Maozhong couldn't hold his breath. While ordering the baggage troops to move to Xinchang, he ordered his troops to go straight north.
I want to join Xie Qiang's team and then explore to the north!
But when his army had not yet crossed the Meixi border, the scout captain in the army returned with his team and reported to him in a panic. At most, four or five miles ahead, the remnants of Peng Ming and Xie Qiang's troops, about three or four hundred people, were fleeing south. Behind him, he followed the Hu cavalry of the brigade to chase and kill, and he arrived in the blink of an eye, and the situation was urgent!
Is it a return, or an answer?
"Mao Zhong, you can't retreat! Our main force is Huaiyuan's father and fellow villagers, no one is with anyone, and you will disperse as soon as you retreat! The old man, who saw that this was at least half a hundred, whispered.
"Rush up there, fuck it! He actually ran to our Meixi to spread wild, bullying us Huaiyuan is not a man, isn't it? "The military marquis and Dubo in the team are all fearless, and everyone is invited to fight.
"Array! Get ready for battle! Li Maozhong ordered loudly, and said to the old man, "
Uncle Seven, I didn't even think about retreating. His mother's dogs have all come to Meixi, Xie Qiang's men and horses have also been defeated, Peng Ming must have lost it, what about the big brother's Qing Shui? I haven't heard from you for a day! β
Li Maozhong's eyes were already glowing red.
When the soldiers heard the sound, the repulsive rifles loaded on the carriage were immediately lifted out and distributed in three sections on the front and sides of the front of the formation, so as to prevent the horses from making a detour. The heavy shield soldier quickly rushed to the front, and later the swallowtail shield, although this amount was lighter than the heavy shield, but it was also equipped with a short knife like the heavy shield soldier. Later came the pikemen, divided into five columns, and sat down on the ground, with the head of the spear lifted from the dovetail shield and from the mouth of the keep, facing straight ahead.
The broadsword and heavy axe bearer inserted his weapon in a convenient position, the pike spear and the short axe were already in the right hand, and finally the sword and shield soldier and the foot archer with the longbow were behind.
The array was only in front, because Li Maozhong believed that after Xie Qiang retreated to himself, he would make up for his back. And more importantly, he is only a part of the establishment, the number of troops is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.
Although the recruits were not flustered, the veterans looked relaxed, and Li Maozhong was quite satisfied. After a year of training, the results are still remarkable. However, although this formation was formed, it was only superficial, whether it was a mule or a horse, and it would not be known until after the war.
Li Maozhong clenched the big knife given by the inner court in his hand, Huaiyuan's strategy was prominent, and the military department also left their names, and even gave them military armor. It was difficult for him to calm down, and it was unknown whether Li Yirong was alive or dead, which made him really unable to calm down, and all he could do was to fight with all his might.
"Here we are." The seventh uncle in Li Maozhong's mouth looked at the dust in front of him, and his eyes were also cold.
Looking ahead, I saw a defeated army wolf bèi rushing towards him, judging from the clothes and equipment, it must be Peng Ming Xie Qiang's troops.
"Second Brother Li, my family's Sima is folded in the hands of Hu Gou!" When the first marquis came to report.
"Where's Shimizu?"
"No news, since I received Brother Li's order to withdraw the troops, I haven't seen a person running from the north."
"Take you people to the backβ" Li Maozhong exhaled, his voice calm. But when he raised his eyes and looked at the rushing Hu Qi, he already contained a peerless meaning of a fish dying and the net was broken.
Here it comes! Just two or three miles away, a large group of Hu cavalry in hot pursuit roared in.
The dust and smoke rose and the sound of hooves shook the sky. Hu Qi, who returned to the Han land, was in high spirits.
The Marquis of Xie Qiang's army led the men and horses directly to the rear of Li Maozhong's army and stopped, and when he turned around, he saw that Hu Cai was not far away, and the time was pressing, so he didn't say much, "Brothers, cheer up, the archers will enter the battle first, and the rest will form their own teams and prepare for battle!" The words fell to more than 300 remnants, and the action began. More than 20 remnants of foot archers quickly merged into Li Maozhong's formation.
