Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Chu Army Fights the Beggar Army
Beggar Pigu had a few more words with Bo Hanji, then got up to say goodbye, patted Bo Hanji on the shoulder and said, "Bo Hanji, prepare well." Tomorrow, we'll have a big wedding! ”
Bo Hanji was surprised when he heard this: "So anxious? Isn't the wedding scheduled for three days later? ”
Beggar Pigu shook his head and sighed: "You must have heard the news that a large number of troops have infiltrated the grassland in the Great Jin, right?" In the past two days, they have fought us several times, and we have suffered a lot of losses. Alas. This time, the Great Jin Army is menacing, and it is not easy to deal with! This time, in addition to holding a big wedding for Xiaobai and Bohanna, we also have to discuss how to retreat from the enemy. You also know that the sooner we get married, the sooner we can devote all our energy to dealing with the Great Jin Army. So be it. I'm leaving. ”
Saying that, the beggar Pigu sighed again with some concern, patted Bo Hanji's shoulder, and turned to walk out of the tent. Bo Hanji hurriedly and respectfully opened the curtain for the beggar Pigu and sent him out of the big tent, only then did he turn around and return to the tent, and saw that Sima Ting and the others had left the door of the tent and sat down again. He rubbed his hands and asked in a little panic, "Lord Wang." Look at this ......."
The conversation between the two of them was also understood by Sima Ting from the translation of Du Jue. The beggar Pigu brought forward the wedding date, which he did not expect. Sima Ting pondered for a long time and called, "Elder Liu." ”
Willow Leaf Scimitar Liu Ruyue heard Sima Ting call herself, immediately stood up from her seat, and said to Sima Ting: "Holy Son." What are the commands? ”
Sima Ting looked at Liu Ruyue and said in a deep voice, "Elder Liu." Among all of you here, you have the best light work. I want Elder Liu to leave immediately, sneak out of the begging tribe, go to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, and tell Prince Yi the news of the change in the wedding date, and ask him to go straight to this place tomorrow night. ”
Liu Ruyue leaned over and agreed, her figure flashed, and she suddenly disappeared into the big tent.
Sima Ting took a deep breath and chuckled at Bo Hanji, "Elder Bo Hanji doesn't need to worry. Tomorrow night, one night according to plan! Since the beggar Pigu is in such a hurry to rush to Huangquan, then we will fulfill him. ”
Bo Hanji saw that Sima Ting looked confident, and after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was nine out of ten, so he also calmed down. There was a hideous look on his face, and he hung his head in response.
Although the beggar department is a murderous secret, at least on the surface it is still peaceful. The begging department put up lanterns and was in full swing preparing for the big wedding the next day. More than 100 miles to the east, it is a different scene. On the vast grassland, thousands of horses are galloping, with a murderous atmosphere!
The 30,000 Chu army was divided into 30,000 square formations, lined up in the east, and thousands of Chu army knights roamed in all directions, with a fighting spirit and murderous spirit. In the west, it was the 10,000 horses of the beggar department who were nervously confronting the Chu army.
There is a fifty zhang open space between the two sides. Suddenly, a cavalryman in the camp of the begging department held a white flag and came out of the crowd, and Pegasus came to the front of the Chu army and shouted loudly in Chinese: "I am the third warrior of the beggar tribe, the warrior under the seat of the beggar Tara!" Please ask your commander to answer! ”
At the forefront of the Chu army's battle array, Sima Yi's armor reflected the dazzling light in the sun, holding a gun immediately, and his face was resolute. Looking at Beggar Tara not far in front of him, a trace of disdain appeared on his face.
In the past few days, he has led 30,000 Chu troops to sweep the grassland all the way, winning seven battles and seven victories! It was only after killing here that I met a slightly decent resistance from the beggar department. However, it is just a decent resistance. The Third Warrior? Hey! In front of the elite Chu army, although the army of the third warrior was not about to collapse at the first touch, it was also defeated and retreated under the flood of the Chu army! Let him feel that these Xianbei people, who were as vicious as tigers when they went south to plunder the Great Jin Frontier, seemed to have their tiger teeth pulled out all of a sudden, and suddenly became very vulnerable!
And today, this Xianbei army, which was beaten to the ground yesterday, dared to come to the door again. Sima Yi was surprised, but he was more excited, and immediately ordered the three armies to go out to fight with the Xianbei people again! But the scene in front of him made him a little incomprehensible.
The begging warrior holding the white flag saw that the people of the Chu army ignored him, so he had to shout loudly in Chinese again: "I am the third warrior of the beggar tribe, the warrior of the beggar tara!" Please ask your commander to answer! ”
Only then did Sima Yi smile and say to Yang Ergou beside him: "General Yang! It's up to you to talk! ”
"Great!" Yang Ergou responded excitedly, clamped his legs between the belly of the horse, rode the horse and trotted all the way to the opposite side of the beggar warrior, waved the huge long-handled plate axe in his hand and pointed at the nose of the beggar warrior, and roared: "Hey! Who is that, Lao Tzu is the second warrior of the Chu Army, General Yang Ergou! I said, so many of you come here to provoke, but you don't fight, why are you shouting here?! ”
The beggar warrior looked at Yang Ergou with a horizontal face, and his burly body was riding on a rare tall horse, but it was inexplicable that Yang Ergou was riding just a small donkey! And Yang Ergou's arm, which was still a few points thicker than his thighs, grabbed a large battle axe and shook it in front of his eyes, so scary!
Seeing such a fierce appearance of the begging warrior, his momentum suddenly shortened by three points, looked at Yang Ergou's huge battle axe, swallowed his saliva, and shouted hard: "General Yang! We, the captains, asked you why you invaded our steppe and killed our people for no reason! If you can't give us a satisfactory explanation, give us the corresponding compensation! More than 100,000 warriors of our steppe are going to make you pay a heavy price! ”
Yang Ergou glared angrily and yelled, "What! Then, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he immediately burst out laughing.
When the beggar warrior saw Yang Ergou like this, he immediately became angry, and he didn't care that Yang Ergou was still listening to the huge battle axe in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Southern barbarian! You show me some respect! ”
Yang Ergou's eyes were cold, his laughter stopped abruptly, he waved his arms, and the battle axe in his hand Huo Ran shot out, and with an axe, he split the begging warriors and even people and horses in half! Immediately, there was a round of applause in the Chu army!
Yang Ergou's eyes were split, and he roared angrily at the beggar army: "Xianbei dog thief! Want to know why we came to the steppe?! We are here to avenge the tragic deaths of tens of millions of compatriots on the frontier! Brothers, kill! "Saying that, Yang Ergou single-handedly rushed to the begging department!
Seeing it, Sima Yi pointed his spear forward, shook the reins, and led the soldiers of the Chu army, who had long been ready to move, to rush over and kill him!
The leaders of the beggar department saw that the messenger they sent out was hacked to death with an axe, and the Great Jin army three times their own on the opposite side let out an earth-shattering roar, and they attacked.
Tens of thousands of horses on both sides suddenly launched a fierce battle on the grassland! After half an hour, the beggar department could not withstand the frantic attack of the Chu army after all, and began to slowly retreat. When Sima Yi saw it, he was unforgiving, and immediately led the Chu army to cover up and kill.
The beggars fought and retreated, leaving countless corpses behind along the way, and retreated all the way to the west. The two sides fought for another hour, and the beggar department was already in a heavy situation, but it seemed that they still couldn't ask the Chu army to pursue.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cannon fire in the grass, and Ismail was surprised to see that among the long weeds several feet long on both sides, countless beggars stood up suddenly. The beggars quickly turned over their horses one by one and attacked the Chu army from both sides! And the beggar army that was originally fleeing did not escape, and reflexively rushed back towards the Chu army!
Sima Yi looked at the sudden appearance of the beggar army, and a hideous smile appeared on his face. He finally understood why these Xianbei people knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, but they still had to fight with the Chu army. It turned out that he wanted to fight himself in an ambush!
Sima Yi looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "Yang Ergou! Bring me 5,000 men to meet me from the right. Wang Erlang! Take 5,000 men to meet you from the left! Damn, if you dare to pit Lao Tzu, you must beat them so that they can't find the north! ”
Yang Ergou and Wang Erlang, who were killing happily above, all responded loudly, roaring and leading an army to meet the beggar army on the left and right! Sima Yi took a deep breath, sneered and carried a spear full of donated blood, stared coldly at the remnants of the 10,000 beggar army in the returning army, and roared and led the remaining nearly 20,000 people to rush forward, secretly determined to annihilate them all!
Time passed little by little, and the battle between the two sides lasted until sunset, and the beggar army finally could not bear the huge casualties and began to slowly retreat. Their hearts were full of loss, and their own side had beaten an ambush by the Chu army! Even so, they have never been able to defeat the Chu army!
Sima Yi did not pursue, let the begging army retreat, and looked at the countless ownerless war horses standing there aimlessly on this grassland full of corpses of begging warriors, and his heart was full of joy. I thought to myself: This time, the beggar department is going to have a pain. In this battle, the beggar department conservatively estimated that the casualties would not be less than 10,000! Ha ha!
Sima Yi laughed happily, glanced at the sky that was gradually darkening, and ordered: "Collect the troops." ”
At this moment, Yang Ergou came to Sima Yi with a cavalryman dressed as a Xianbei warrior. When Sima Yi saw it, he wondered: "Yang Ergou, what's going on?" What are you keeping him for? Just kill it with one sword! ”
Yang Ergou smiled bitterly and said, "Prince Yi, let's see who is coming first." That's what I thought just now, but my hand still hurts. ”
I saw that the Xianbei warrior turned over from his horse, and said to Sima Yi with a smile: "Holy Gate Liu Ruyue See His Royal Highness Prince Yi." ”
