Chapter 22: Murder by the Sword
If you say it's exaggerated, it's exaggerated, Ah Ming didn't bother to defend it, he just thought that Zheng Fan was just planting the horse so simply, which was a bit too convenient.
However, fortunately, it was night at this time, and fortunately, the Qianguo cavalry was pressed for time, so they did not bother to come over to check whether people were dead or to repair the sword.
In the eyes of the Qianguo cavalry, the two of them were more like lazy men who went home after drinking at night.
Another thing to be thankful for is that because they are going to transport the first class today, Zheng Fan and Ah Ming are both riding horses in the team.
In fact, there are many kinds of horses, and war horses are undoubtedly the most expensive consumables, in cold words, the life of a war horse is much more valuable than the life of an ordinary leader.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if the horses that transport goods on weekdays pull the goods and carry the people, but if you want to use them to fight in battle, you will think too much.
Zheng Fan'er's luck today is indeed good, he has avoided two consecutive killings, and even the old horse pulling the cart riding home is also supporting his identity.
If he came out on the mighty war horse of Cuiliu Fort today, he would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of these Qianguo cavalry.
"They're going to Xinghua Village." Ah Ming said.
This trick is very spiritual.
"I don't know if we can really fight." Zheng Fan teased and turned over again, "No matter what, go back quickly." ”
The Qianren suddenly became a seed, this Qianguo cavalry may have two or three hundred cavalry on the surface, but Zheng Fan felt that since the other party dared to ask where Cuiliubao was, there were at least more than a thousand horsemen hidden in the back, or even more.
At the moment, it is natural to go back to the fortress to prepare for defense.
Of course, if this Qianguo cavalry can help him destroy Xinghua Village, Zheng Fan will be very happy to see it.
Pao Ze is Paoze, they are all Yan Jun and indeed Yan Jun, but Zheng Fan doesn't have many thoughts in his heart to focus on the overall situation.
"Lord, do you want to go back to the fortress to transfer troops?" Ah Ming asked.
"What kind of soldiers? It's up to this Qianguo army to make a fuss, this is not far from our Cuiliu Fort, if they can help us pull out a few stockades, I don't mind if you do it after dawn, collect the rout, mosquito legs are also meat. ”
Ah Ming smiled.
Zheng Fan also laughed, but he immediately whipped the horse's buttocks, and the old horse under the crotch immediately burst out with horse's passion.
Spread his hooves and began to gallop desperately.
"Hurry up and go back, don't be fucking blocked and ask for directions again!"
………
The location of Xinghua Village is very good, located in the original countryside field, and there is a river behind the village.
It stands to reason that building a military fortress at such a point is actually a very unreasonable thing, and from a defensive point of view, it is simply trapping oneself.
But the pride of the Yan people made them not very concerned about it, and at the same time, since the start of the war, the shrinkage of the Qianguo people has also contributed to the arrogance of the Yan people.
In fact, the most important point is that the trilateral soldiers and horses of the Qianguo have been abandoned for a long time, and in the same way, in fact, before the war, the first-line defense system of the border of Yinlang County of the Yan State had long existed in name only.
When Zheng Fan led the army to take up his post, the first thing he had to do was to dig a pit and set up a tent.
Because of this, many of the general soldiers and the soldiers and horses under their command who were later stuffed from several other counties were like children cramming for ducks when building military villages.
I know that there are many military villages, and there are many military leaders from all walks of life, and the momentum is huge;
I don't know, I thought it was the bandit cottage kings from all over the world who gathered here to hold a martial arts conference.
Zhong Tianlang is Zhong Wendao's youngest son, and he is handsome and old, so he naturally attaches great importance to it, which inevitably makes Zhong Tianlang have a touch of arrogance in many places.
It's just that before the real battle, Zhong Tianlang will not have the slightest slack and sloppiness.
He took two personal soldiers and first touched the vicinity of Xinghua Village.
"This military village ........."
Zhong Tianlang has already inherited a lot of the Zhong family's art of war, otherwise no matter how much Zhong Wendao loves this little son, he will not be able to let him take the elite cavalry of the Western Army to mess around.
You must know that there is a common problem between the Western Army and the cadre army, there are few war horses, and there are naturally fewer cavalry, and every cavalry is a treasure.
The Xinghua Village in front of you can be said to be quite ...... in terms of the defensive nature of the village Rough.
In the eyes of the Western Army, this is simply an unbelievable thing.
The Western Army was initially established to deal with the invasion from the northwest and Beiqiang of the Qianguo, and later took over the errand to deal with the Tusi rebellion in the southwest.
These two opponents have a characteristic, that is, they come and go like the wind on their respective territories, and they are very good at harassing.
Therefore, the construction of the camp of the Western Army has its own inheritance belonging to the Western Army.
Now under the city of Mianzhou, the four-sided camp built by the 150,000 western army, the horse barrier, the chariot wall, the trench, the arrow tower, etc., are all in a row, with their own order, with the distance and troop allocation of the camps, Zhong Wendao, who is in the center, dares to use this camp not afraid of the trampling of 200,000 Yanguo iron cavalry.
But in Zhong Tianlang's view, this Yanren's camp is really like a child playing at home, and it is casual.
Although the enemy's laxity is a good thing for his side, Zhong Tianlang actually doesn't have too much joy in his heart, the reason why the enemy is so lax is not because the pressure given by his own side here before is too small and too small?
Take a deep breath,
Then today it is up to him to tell these rampant swallow people,
Daqian,
There are also sons and daughters who dare to go north!
There's no need to look any further, and there's no need to make too many plans, the other party has too many loopholes, and this camp is simply a sieve.
In the face of the sieve, you don't need to think too much about anything, just break it directly, you go north this time, you have a thousand horses in your own camp, plus you ask your uncles to support a thousand horses, before leaving, your own Lao Tzu allocated another thousand fine horses to him.
Three thousand horsemen, if even this military village can't be broken, then Zhong Tianlang might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him!
Perhaps the people in this stockade never thought that one day, the army of Qianguo would dare to go north and go deep into this place and charge them.
Zhong Tianlang shook his head,
Softly said:
"Originally, I thought you were a character, but I didn't expect that you were nothing more than an arrogant barbarian, you really disappointed you, Zheng Fan."
………
According to the rules in the Yan army, only the relatives of the chief officer can hang their own flag, which is the common surname as the flag head.
Therefore, only the Dayan Black Dragon Flag was hung on the Xinghua Village, and there was no "Deng" flag.
At the entrance of Xinghuazhai, there is a small wooden sign with the word "Xinghuazhai" written on it, but after months of wind and rain, it has long been blurred, and no one has gone to paint again.
And as soon as I come back during the day,
Deng Ziliang entered his big tent and never came out.
He didn't drink, Deng Ziliang didn't like to drink, and he was an outlier in the military.
However, Deng Ziliang himself does not drink, but he can't stop his subordinates from drinking, and the military discipline of the Jingnan Army is strict, but these military leaders do not have too many military discipline constraints.
Burying a stomach full of anger, Deng Ziliang sat in front of the charcoal basin with a military book and watched, Xu because he knew that his generals were angry when they came back today, so the soldiers in Xinghua Village deliberately moved a little farther away from the big tent to drink after receiving the water and wine, and they didn't dare to make any noise like they did on weekdays.
There is wine, but the amount allocated by each person will not make them drunk, that is, it is just a meaning, but meat, which can be let go of eating.
This is the tradition of Xinghuazhai, and the day after every victory, it is a day for the whole army to enjoy together.
The way to govern the army is here, you have to be good to the soldiers below, and the soldiers are willing to die for you on the battlefield.
The book of war, seeing now, is a little unbearable.
Deng Ziliang threw aside the military book in his hand, stretched out his hand and kneaded his eyebrows.
At this time, the big tent was opened, and a big man walked in.
"Young master, what's on your mind?"
can call Deng Ziliang Young Master, which proves that this big man also came out of the Deng family and is a member of the family.
Deng Ziliang shook his head, he was too lazy to say what happened in the General Army's Mansion during the day today, but he planned to write a letter tonight to pass on this matter to his home.
How to deal with it depends on the family's decision.
"Tell me to go down, and feast and drink in moderation."
"Don't worry, young master, I've already inspected it before, and these cubs have everything in their hearts."
"Hmm."
Deng Ziliang nodded, reached for the teacup he put on the side, but suddenly found that the water in the cup was rippling.
And with that,
And the roar of horses' hooves trampling!
Deng Ziliang immediately stood up,
Although Zheng Fan doesn't think that there is any statement of a lifelong enemy,
But at this time, Deng Ziliang's reaction was exactly the same as Zheng Fan, who was robbed and asked for directions:
"He, how dare he!"
Deng Ziliang's first reaction was: It won't really be Zheng Fan's stunned seed!
Dahan opened the tent at this time, but saw that on the east side of the camp, dozens of knights had already thrown their hooks and stuck on the fence, and then began to accelerate to both sides.
The fence, which was not very deep, was directly pulled down,
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry in the rear did not slow down in the slightest, and rushed in directly!
In the military village, there was a panic for a while.
"Young master, enemy attack!"
Deng Ziliang had already pushed him away, he didn't remove his armor, and went out directly with a bow.
The next moment,
Zhang bowed and set up an arrow, and an arrow was shot, and in front, a knight of the Qianguo Kingdom was directly shot in the face door and planted on the back of his horse.
Deng Ziliang didn't have the slightest hint of joy, and shouted directly to the big man beside him:
"Pass the order, and the departments will break through on their own!"
Deng Ziliang did not order the gathering of troops, and it was impossible to gather any more troops at this time, but if there was a night attack, once the other party got the first move, it would often be difficult for the attacked party to condense the system, so it was better to kill it generously and fight separately.
The battle of cavalry is not about the gains and losses of one city or one place, as long as you can regather your troops and horses, you can kill them again!
At this moment, a cavalryman rushed out from behind the big tent, and the lance in his hand stabbed directly at Deng Ziliang.
Deng Ziliang took two steps back, dodging the quick blow, and then, quickly opened his bow and fired an arrow at the knight's back.
The arrow was infused with qi and blood, and the force was extremely terrifying, directly piercing the opponent's armor, and the knight fell off the horse.
Deng Ziliang stepped forward quickly, glanced at the armor on the other party's body, and frowned slightly,
It's not the armor of the Yan army,
This is......
Qianguo people!
"Huh!"
This group of Qianguo people actually dared to go north?
And stole to your own doorstep?
Deng Zi's conscience was angry, he originally thought that Zheng Fan of Cuiliu Fort sent troops to attack him at night, that guy who even dared to abolish the prince, it seemed that it was not strange that he really did such a thing.
But not him.
Deng Ziliang stretched out his bow and arrows again, and shot three Qianguo knights in a row, and the vicinity of his big tent was empty for a while, but just as Deng Ziliang was about to lead his horse to other parts of the military village to gather his subordinates, suddenly, more than ten horsemen rushed to kill.
This Qianguo cavalry is not simple!
But whenever there is a night attack, it is not only the party that is being attacked in a panic, but also the attacker, who is now shooting and killing the dry cavalry in the vicinity of the big tent continuously, it stands to reason that it is impossible for other dry cavalry in the vicinity not to be aware of it, and ordinary soldiers will probably not dare to approach here again when they encounter this situation, plus it is dark night.
Night is the best protective color for cowards.
However, these dry horsemen rushed back to kill.
Ten horsemen rushed together, Rao is Deng Ziliang thought very highly of himself, and he didn't dare to stand in place stupidly to take it, so he had to turn around and run backwards, and before the long lance of the dry cavalry came over, he got into his big tent.
More than a dozen dry horsemen did not rush in, but each threw the torches in their hands towards the big tent.
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
Unexpectedly, just waiting for the fire to gradually rise, two more arrows shot out of the tent and hit the two dry riders.
The rest of the cavalry didn't dare to wait any longer, and directly forced the war horses under their crotches to rush into the military tent.
"Boom!"
The big tent collapsed directly.
Deng Ziliang, who had replaced the hard bow with a long knife, ran forward, like a dragon going out to sea, and directly jumped on the back of a dry horse, cut the knife down, cut into the neck of the other party, and then pushed it off the horse with a palm push.
Kill people and take horses, all in one go.
However, before Deng Ziliang re-instigated the war horse under his crotch, the two sabers were cut directly, and Deng Ziliang's upper body lay down directly, which was able to avoid the two sabers, and at the same time, the saber knife in his hand slammed the horse's buttocks, and the war horse under the crotch was in pain for a while, and ran forward.
Deng Ziliang got up again, holding the knife in his right hand and grasping the reins with his left hand.
The rest of the Qianqi immediately chased and killed the past, whether it was the red armor on Deng Ziliang's body or the martial arts he showed before, they were all telling them that this was a big fish!
Most likely, it is the person their general who will kill when he goes north this time!
The dry cavalry behind him chased and bit too fiercely, Deng Ziliang had no time to gather his subordinates, and in the military village, there were even dry cavalry figures everywhere.
Straight mother thief, what kind of medicine did these cadres take, and they dared to attack with such a big blood!
In front, a cavalry suddenly came out, and the leader was a captain under Deng Ziliang.
The two sides immediately staggered, and this cavalry directly helped Deng Ziliang block the chasing dry cavalry behind him.
Deng Ziliang was able to take a breath and began to roam the military village, however, before Deng Ziliang could see the form clearly and give an order, a silver-armored general suddenly rushed out of the military village in front of him.
This is a night attack, this is chaos, and it is not uncommon to rush out of the enemy or meet friendly troops somewhere.
Deng Ziliang did not hesitate at all, and did not even intend to pick up the spear of the silver-armored general, but shouted as he rode forward:
"Withdraw!"
The situation is irretrievable, at this time, it is natural to withdraw as many soldiers and horses as possible, and the soldiers and horses can be reunited tomorrow after they are scattered, if they are gone, there will be nothing!
Yan people are fierce and fierce, and their kung fu is indeed first-class, but the problem is that these military leaders, including Deng Ziliang, are actually more like warlords.
They are more concerned about how to preserve and develop their strength, rather than risking the lives of their sons and daughters to do meaningless consumption.
At this time, if it was the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army stationed here, this situation would definitely not occur.
In fact, before Deng Ziliang gave the order to retreat, in the face of this night attack, many knights under Deng Ziliang's command began to rush out with guns and horses.
Of course, there are still many people who have not had time to find their war horses or even put on their armor before they are slashed by the dry horsemen who rushed in.
When Zhong Tianlang saw that the red-armored general completely ignored him, and even took the initiative to ride his horse and gallop outside the camp, he immediately became angry and laughed in his heart.
This Zheng Fan,
That's all there is to it!
Zhong Tianlang didn't plan to let go of "Zheng Fan", and continued to ride his horse to chase after him.
Under his crotch was the Beiqiang Divine Horse, and Deng Ziliang was just a war horse that had just been snatched, so after the two generals rushed out of the camp, in the short chase, the distance between the two sides had quickly narrowed!
Suddenly, in the forest ahead, a team of dry horsemen rushed out!
Deng Ziliang was immediately shocked,
The commander of this cadre actually arranged an ambush on the west side, and the previous cadre soldiers launched a broken camp charge from the east side, and most of the Yan cavalry who wanted to escape naturally went to the west side, which happened to fall into the pocket of the dry people!
Deng Ziliang immediately grabbed the reins, rode his horse, and turned around.
The silver armor behind him had already rushed to kill, with a spear in his hand, like an incarnation of a dragon.
Deng Ziliang wielded his saber, who would have expected that the opponent's spear contained extremely fierce strength.
"Bang dang!"
Deng Ziliang's mouth was in severe pain, but he still held the handle of the knife, but the upper part of the saber was actually broken directly.
Damn it!
The spear stabbed like a bamboo,
Deng Ziliang leaned forward, and he could have dodged the sting of the spear, however, the silver-armored general shook his wrist, and the body of the spear suddenly slapped horizontally!
"Bang!"
Deng Ziliang was drawn, and the whole person was smashed off the war horse.
At this moment, the cavalry swarmed around and besieged him.
It's about capturing yourself alive!
Battles, you can lose!
But as a child of the Sanshi Deng family, how can he tolerate being captured alive and disgrace his family?
At that moment, the broken knife in his hand lay across his neck and shouted:
"Dry dog, when my Dayan Iron Horse really goes south, I'll wait for you to come down and accompany me!"
After speaking,
The broken knife slashed into his neck, and blood gushed out.
The surrounding dry horses retreated through the gap, and the silver-armored generals rode their horses closer.
At this time, Deng Ziliang glared at him angrily, and he could sense that his blood was gurgling out, and his vitality was constantly fading.
He is unwilling, he hates,
His life has actually just begun!
He caught up with this national war, and it was when the troubled times were riding the east wind, but he had to kill himself here!
The silver-armored general took off his helmet, revealing a face that seemed to have not completely faded from his childishness, and looked at Deng Ziliang, who was already about to kill himself.
Opening:
"At this point, I didn't disappoint a certain too much, you are still a little bloody after all, Zheng Fan."
"............" Deng Ziliang!!
