Chapter 2: The Teenager Appears
Four days later, the Turkic garrison suddenly rose up and approached Yumen Pass in full armor.
The guards He Jin and Qi Zhen led 10,000 soldiers in military uniforms to stand five kilometers outside the city wall and wait for the enemy.
The sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of the Turkic soldiers gradually approached, and in half an hour the two armies had already met, and the Turkic leader led his army to rush to the Long army without saying a word, and a war began.
In the first war, Qi Zhen only saw that the damage after the war was not on the battlefield, and when this prince raised in Shangjing really came into contact with the battlefield, he understood its terrible pitiness:
He heard the roars of war horses and enemies exploding in his ears, blood spraying on his face, and the Turkic soldiers on the opposite side were tall and mighty, and the faces of the soldiers of the Long Army were blurred with the big knives and hammers they raised, and the soldiers around him fell one by one, their heads separated.
He also experienced the spirit of the soldiers of the Long Army who regarded death as home, and replaced his left arm with a knife when his right arm was broken, and he held the enemy's legs and feet when he fell, and rushed to the enemy one after another without fear of life and death.
10,000 soldiers are obviously not worth mentioning in the face of this brave and senseless 70,000 Turks,
The battle only lasted until noon, and the soldiers of the Long Army in red clothes and black armor on the battlefield became very few, and more than a dozen soldiers approached a group, surrounded by Qi Zhen in the middle.
These soldiers are all dressed as shadow guards who have been raised by their side for many years, and they have tried to take him out of the siege more than once, but they have all failed.
Qi Zhen was injured in many places, and his strength had long been exhausted, and as the soldiers beside him became fewer and fewer, the situation became more and more urgent.
At this time, dark clouds covered the sky, and when they saw the wall of flesh blocking them, Qi Zhen looked up and saw that it was a Turkic soldier with a height of nine feet and a round waist.
Before he could retreat, he saw the soldier raise his hammer and smash it at him, smiling and spitting out non-standard Chinese: Long Chaoren, go to death!
The soldiers around him have long lost the strength to protect him, and he himself has no power to fight back.
Qi Zhen stabilized his mind, closed his eyes and said lightly: "Are you really going to fold here?" I'm not reconciled..."
"If you are not reconciled, you will continue to live!" The young man's smiling voice exploded in his ears, and when Qi Zhen opened his eyes, he saw the hammer on the ground, and the head of the Turkic soldier that landed with the hammer, rolling on the ground and covered in dust.
Qi Zhen's eyelashes trembled almost inaudibly, and when he looked up, he saw the young man sitting on horseback, and the shadow left by the backlight made the young man's facial features more refined.
The corners of his mouth were hooked, his left hand was holding a long knife, and his right hand was stretched out to him, Qi Zhen looked at him stunned, maybe after a long time, maybe just a few seconds, he stretched out his left hand and sat on the horse's back.
"Fourth brother, hold on to me." Qi Yu rushed straight to the Turkic general with a long knife, cut off the general's head with a knife, and then turned over and dismounted to pick up the head and shouted: "The Turkic general is dead!" Warriors, kill! ”
Echoing him, it was the roar of tens of thousands of soldiers around him, and at this time, a soldier not far away reacted and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived!" The Nine Princes have arrived with reinforcements! ”
The remaining soldiers of the Long Army were overjoyed, and they picked up their military flags, clenched their weapons, blushed, rekindled their morale, rushed to the enemy, and fought with the new Long Army to kill the enemy.
The leaderless Turkic soldiers were quickly suppressed, and in less than two hours, nearly half of the Turkic soldiers were killed or wounded, and they had to withdraw and retreat in disarray.
In this war, the Long army won a big victory!
It was dusk after the battle, and the sunset sprinkled on the yellow sand all over the sky, as if to give this scenery a layer of golden edges.
Qi Yu and Qi Zhen stood side by side on the city tower, watching the soldiers not far away clean up the battlefield, and escorted the prisoners into the city one after another.
"Why did it come so quickly, I thought it would take at least three days for reinforcements to arrive."
"A few days ago, there was turmoil in the northern Hui Hui, the master sent someone to check, and found that there were constant spies between the Hui and the Turks, and then the Turkic princess was assassinated, and I suspect that the Turks may join forces with the Hui to approach our Dalong border.
He asked his master to send 500 cavalry to the west to check the situation, and by the way, he informed General He to raise his vigilance.
I heard that you were in Chiling when you were trapped in Yumen Pass, and I wanted to rush over at that time, but the military strength was not enough, and I waited in Chiling for four days to wait for the eight thousand pioneers sent by the master, and I didn't dare to delay, so I immediately rushed over, fortunately, I caught up. ”
"It's a coincidence, I wouldn't be standing here if I was a little slower." Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes: "You say, will this Turkic army counterattack in the near future?" ”
"No, it won't." Qi Yu smiled slyly: "Because... I sent five hundred of my men to the rear and burned their granaries. ”
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Qi Zhen, and as soon as the two looked at each other, they laughed as if no one was around.
"I haven't seen you in the past few years, you, your body has grown, your facial features have grown, and the fourth brother is still a little strange when he sees you, but the way you are rushing to beg for rewards when you succeed in playing a clever trick has really not changed at all, and you are still a child."
"The fourth brother hasn't changed at all, he is still a humble gentleman, gentle as jade, I heard that when you were trapped in the Jade Gate Pass, I was a little worried that it would scare you."
Qi Zhen touched his forehead: "I won't tell you, yet... I was really scared. ”
"There are so many ministers in the DPRK, you have not been in good health since you were a child, why did you send you as an envoy to negotiate peace?"
"So many ministers, oh, there are not many who are bold and useless. Besides, I didn't expect so many things to happen when I came......"
Qi Yu turned around and looked into Qi Zhen's eyes: "Fourth brother, you should be in Shangjing to enjoy flowers and ink, don't participate in such dangerous things in the future to participate in the war, okay?" The eldest brother is the eldest brother after all, and he will not force it if he refuses as a younger brother. ”
He's your big brother, not my big brother... Qi Zhen paused for a moment and still didn't say anything. "I know the dangers of the battlefield, and I know how scary it is from my own experience. Xiao Jiu, how have you survived all these years......"
"The battlefield is very cruel, but it is precisely because of the bloody battles of the border soldiers that the people of the mainland can live and work in peace and contentment, right?"
Qi Yu looked at the sunset in the yellow sand: "Fourth brother, the red plum in Beijing is beautiful, but the yellow sand outside the plug is not bad, I have long been used to it." ”
Qi Zhen gently took Qi Yu's left hand: "Xiao Jiu, one day you can go back."
Qi Yu rubbed Qi Zhen's middle finger, squinted and smiled: "It doesn't matter......"
