Chapter 15 The Chu brothers meet on a narrow road
At night, in the big tent of the Chinese army in Zhao Wanglun's camp, Zhao Wanglun smashed the case in front of him into a piece of powder with a palm full of anger, Huo Ran got up and roared angrily at Sun Xiu who was standing in the tent: "What are you talking about!" You repeat! ”
Sun Xiu was so frightened that his body trembled suddenly, cold sweat flowed from his back, and he arched his hand: "Lord Wang." Sima Ting suddenly attacked our army during the day today, killing and wounding more than 2,000 of our army, and went to the southwest. It doesn't look like I'm going to Hangu Pass, but I'm going to Xiaoguan! ”
Zhao Wanglun was so angry that he trembled and couldn't speak for a long time. He chased Sima Ting for so many days, in order to drag Sima Ting's footsteps, he filled in for seven days and didn't know how many lives of the forbidden army soldiers! Seeing that Sima Fan's Jingzhou army had all been deployed in place, and it was almost time to reap the victory, he heard such news, how could he not be angry!
Zhao Wanglun's eyes erupted with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Chase!" Give me chase! Can't let them in! At the same time, Sima Fan was informed of the situation. Let him stop waiting outside Hangu Pass, and hurry up and lead the army to chase after him! If Sima Ting is allowed to enter the customs, everything will be in vain! ”
Sun Xiu hurriedly said: "Back to the prince, my subordinates have already sent troops to inform Sima Fan." I'll probably get back soon. Sun Xiu saw that Zhao Wanglun didn't blame him, and couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat, but he heard that these days, Zhao Wanglun's temper has become more and more irritable.
As soon as Sun Xiu's words fell, a personal soldier walked in quickly outside the tent, leaned over and said, "Lord Zhao, the scout who went to deliver a letter to the Jingzhou army has returned, saying that something big happened to the Jingzhou army." ”
Sun Xiu was shocked in his heart, and waved his hand: "Don't let people in yet!" ”
The soldiers looked at Sun Xiu, and when they saw that Zhao Wanglun didn't say anything, he gave his hand again and withdrew from the tent. After a while, there was a soldier of the forbidden army who was in the dust, kneeling on the ground: "My subordinates see Lord Zhao and all the lords!" ”
Zhao Wanglun waved his hand impatiently and asked urgently, "What's going on with the Jingzhou Army?" ”
The soldiers of the forbidden army arched their hands and said: "Back to Zhao Wangye, his subordinates and others went to the Jingzhou army garrison on the order of General Sun, and when they approached the Jingzhou army garrison, they found that there was a shortage of soldiers and horses. The Jingzhou army was defeated by a Hangu Pass rushing out and retreated to the east! Look at the flag, it should be the army of the week! ”
Zhao Wanglun's face showed surprise, and he lost his voice: "Around? Are you sure? Isn't he at the border? How could he suddenly appear here and raid the Jingzhou army! ”
The soldiers of the forbidden army nodded and said: "Back to Lord Zhao, we have all seen the banner of Zhouzi!" Except for Zhou, his subordinates really can't think of any other general surnamed Zhou in Dajin who has the strength to fight the Jingzhou army like that! ”
Zhao Wanglun frowned and fell into deep thought. Sun Xiu on the side suddenly showed a sinister smile on his face, and asked slowly: "You just said that the Jingzhou army was defeated by the army of Zhou?" ”
The forbidden army was stunned by Sun Xiu's sudden smile, and then affirmed: "Yes, General Sun!" ”
The smile on Sun Xiu's face became more and more intense, and he waved his hand at the forbidden army and said, "You go out." ”
The forbidden army glanced at Sun Xiu, his face full of doubts, but he still gave up, got up and withdrew from the tent.
Sun Xiu sneered and said to Zhao Wanglun: "Lord Zhao, perhaps, we shouldn't continue to pursue Sima Ting now." After all, judging from the current situation, the possibility of us leaving Sima Ting's Xiao cavalry outside the pass is already very small. It's better to ...... Concentrate your forces and help Sima Fan to stab around! You must know that after Sima Ting and Zhou's army withdraw to Guanzhong, the Jingzhou army under Sima Fan will immediately turn around and attack us. If we can consume a large number of the new force of the Jingzhou Army at this time, it will be beneficial to us and no harm! ”
Zhao Wanglun's brows furrowed even tighter. He knew that what Sun Xiu said was right, and there was no point in chasing Sima Ting now. Without the help of the Jingzhou Army, they would not have been able to keep the Xiao Cavalry Army at all! But he couldn't swallow it! has lived for most of his life, who would have thought that he would suffer such a big loss at the hands of Sima Ting, a yellow-haired boy!!
Guo Xiang, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhao Wanglun's face full of hesitation, and called out loud: "Sect Master......"
Zhao Wanglun glanced up at Guo Xiang, snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Sima Ting, it's cheap for you." ”
After a pause, Zhao Wanglun said in a deep voice to Sun Xiu: "Sun Xiu, concentrate all your forces and attack the Jingzhou army!" ”
Sun Xiu smiled coldly and walked away.
Just as Sun Xiu went to mobilize the forbidden army and was about to stab the Jingzhou army in the back again, Sima Ting and the Xiao cavalry army had already galloped a hundred miles away. Countless torches burned brightly, lighting up most of the night sky. The sound of horses' hooves rolled, and the army swept across the field, hurrying towards Xiaoguan.
Sima Ting led the Holy Gate and a group of masters to run at the forefront of the army. Everyone's face was filled with a relaxed smile. Duanmu Qing looked back at the countless knights holding torches behind him, and his heart was also full of pride, and he laughed and said, "Your Highness! It seems that Zhao Wanglun has given up. No one has caught up for so long! The old man originally wanted to chop a few more cubs to have a good time! ”
Sima Ting smiled lightly, looking at Duanmu Qing, who was talking about juvenile madness, and couldn't help but flash the figure of the second brother Sima Ji in his mind, the battle maniac who was also thirsty for killing...... Sima Ting couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart, and hurriedly shook his head, and said with a forced smile: "Elder Duanmu is really old and strong. Admire, admire! Elder Duanmu was relieved. In the future, there will definitely be many opportunities for Elder Duanmu to have a good time. ”
Duanmu Qing laughed again and said loudly: "Your Highness." I don't know how far away Xiaoguan is? Don't hide it from Your Highness, the old man hasn't been in the pass for more than ten years, and I don't know if the old guys who are cultivating in the pass are all dead! ”
Sima Ting laughed and said, "There should be about two hundred miles away." At our speed, we will probably be able to see Xiaoguan at sunset the day after tomorrow. After entering the customs, Elder Duanmu can take advantage of the time to visit his old friend. ”
Duanmu Qing smiled and wanted to say something, but Du Jue, who had not said a word, suddenly yelled: "Be careful!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a bowstring sound suddenly sounded in the dark grass in front of him, and then he saw countless arrows shooting out overwhelmingly, heading straight for Sima Ting and the others!
Sima Ting and the others were all shocked, and they all shot out to block the arrows in front of them, but the ordinary soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army behind were not so lucky, and they were suddenly shot down, and the screams came and went!
Sima Ting was inexplicably sneak attacked, and while he was shocked in his heart, he was furious, and a burst of demonic mist rose all over his body, jumped up from his horse, and rushed straight towards the grass!
The masters of the Holy Gate also learned from Sima Ting to jump up from their horses and rush forward in the rain of arrows!
After a short period of panic, the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry army showed good quality, turned over and dismounted, took out their shields to block the arrows, and began to form a formation to prepare for a counterattack under the loud shouts of the generals!
Sima Ting shot into the grass like a long arrow, and when he saw that there were many soldiers in ambush in the grass, he was controlling the strings and shooting towards the Xiao cavalry!
Look at the armor...... It's all Jingzhou Army!
