Chapter 9 Capture Duan Si

"I won't go to war with you today, you go back to report to King Wu, and Yanchen will be treated courteously under the prime minister's account. If King Wu is willing to come to surrender, I can take the head as a guarantee, and the prime minister will reuse it. ”

He didn't know if he would be dealt with if he made this decision not to fight behind Huan Wen's back. He also knew that even if he persuaded him, with King Wu's temperament, he would definitely not do anything treacherous to the country. He didn't know why he would say such a thing between the two armies, thinking about it, retreating without a fight could be regarded as a node for the previous brotherhood.

After saying that, Duan Si turned his horse's head and wanted to return to the camp.

It's just that although Na Xi Luo Teng is the general of King Wu, he is loyal to the Yan Chamber, and when he heard Duan Si wanting to persuade King Wu to surrender to Jin, he was furious, and his loyal liver and gallbladder seemed to be ignited by the fire in an instant, burning the big axe in his hand sonorously shaking, and he had to fight to calm down this anger.

"If you want to fight, you will fight, I will not spread such words!"

Before the words fell, he had already brandished a big axe to drive the horse behind Duan Si, thinking that Duan Si was also one of the fierce generals in a hundred, and immediately leaned over like a spirit snake to dodge. However, Xi Luoteng's rapid attack continued, the axe fell into the air like lightning, Duan Si waved his spear to block and retreat, and the red tasseled spear crossed the border like a meteor, and was entangled with the sky-breaking axe, although he did not have the upper hand, he did not fall into an embarrassment.

The drums of war are beating, the sky is shaking, Xi Luoteng and Duan Si, one axe and one spear, compared to thirty rounds, there is no winner or loser, but it is a shock in all directions.

Thirty rounds later, the absolute superiority in strength began to gradually be revealed, Xi Luoteng waved the big axe several times to break the air pressure, like a thousand catties of giant tripod smashed, Duan Si barely resisted with a spear, but it was already difficult, and the mount under him was crushed by the heavy axe several times, and the front hooves were submerged in the sand. Fortunately, Duan Si is a good hand among horses, and several times he pulled the horse between the lightning and flint, avoiding the axe.

The Yan army cheered thunderously from time to time, but the Jin army was silent, causing a lot of pressure on Duan Si's momentum.

The advantage of the melee spear could not be used, and gradually formed a situation of being trapped in the big axe, Duan Si only blocked it now, but the attack of Na Si Luo Teng was still fierce, and he swung the axe several times and approached Duan Si's neck, but he retreated at the critical moment.

He knew that Luo Teng was like an ant, but it was a little difficult to let him capture someone alive, which invisibly limited his offensive, otherwise in thirty rounds or so, he would have already cut Duan Si under the horse, and he would not be able to fight at all.

Duan Si deliberately set his horse and Xi Luoteng retreated a distance, so that he could use his spear to attack, but Xi Luoteng seemed to have already understood his routine, and followed his horse closely, with an axe in front of the horse, like a blade chasing the wind, so that Duan Si could not spare his hand to launch an offensive at all.

Just as Duan Si was about to retreat again, Xi Luoteng shot with a thunderous momentum, picked up the spear in Duan Si's hand with an axe, and the spear rushed into the air, falling heavily to the ground, smashing up a few wisps of dust. Duan Si lost his weapon, stunned, and wanted to flee, who knew that Luo Teng waved the handle of his backhand axe, knocked Duan Si off the horse, and then an axe split down in the air, only to see blood splashed Changhong, before hearing the neighing of the war horse, I saw the horse's head and tail flying down on both sides, separated by a few meters, the interception was straight, and the intestines and abdomen were broken.

The warm blood splashed Duan Si's armor, and before he could recover his senses, he had been captured by Xi Luoteng with an axe.

The Jin army was shocked, thinking that they were gods, but they cut off the drums for a while.

"Grandpa is here, who will send him to death!" I only heard Luo Teng's loud shout, like the ground shaking the mountain, startling the Jin army to retreat a few steps, and none of the more than 10,000 soldiers dared to step forward to meet the battle, and there was a tendency to retreat.

****

Huan Wen paced repeatedly in the main camp, as if waiting for a certain news of victory, but the faint uneasiness climbed into his heart like a swarm of ants, making him feel like a mess and unable to sit still.

Xi Chao just sat quietly on the side, as indifferent as an idle cloud at dusk, sometimes brushing his beautiful beard, sometimes sitting and watching the wind and dust. It's like just an idle man, and everything that happens around him has nothing to do with him; But if you look closely, he is more like a worldly attainer who has penetrated the infinite prajna, and he has already anticipated everything, so he is so calm.

Seeing this, Li Shu, the general under Wen, couldn't help but ask, "Since the prime minister is worried about the war, why don't you go out of the camp to supervise the war?" ”

Xi Chao looked at Li Shu and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, the time to follow the prime minister is still shallow.

The prime minister's heart is like the clouds outside the sky at that time, elusive, and he doesn't want to be seen through.

"Who is Siroten? A second-class general in Yan Country is also worthy of me to personally supervise the battle? Huan Wen glanced at Li Shu with displeasure, and then flicked his sleeves and said with disdain.

Although Huan Wen is still arrogant in the world, the heroes of the world are not in his eyes, and the generals of various countries are difficult to defeat him, but Xi Chao caught a flash of panic on his face at this time.

"That's what the prime minister said." Li Shu knew that he had asked about the gun, and hurriedly said that he was retreating.

Just when Huan Wen was restless, the sound of war drums outside the camp stopped, and the silence for that moment seemed to be the stillness of time, so that Huan Wen couldn't even think for a few moments, and his always astute reaction seemed to suddenly fail at this time.

"Why did the drums of war stop?!" He was shocked and anxious, subconsciously, a bad premonition suddenly hit his heart, and before the war started, he stopped the war drums inexplicably, could it be that the army led by Murong Chui was really as heroic as rumored, and our army was defeated so quickly?

"Give me a drum!" only heard Huan Wen shouting, and his heart suddenly pressed like a thousand pounds of heavy stones, as if he had touched a sharp sword that reached his heart, and it was a sharpness that even he was unable to parry. That fleeting thought became the biggest failure and regret in his life, and his long-cherished wish to add Jiuxi was not to be destroyed by Murong Chui's hands?

Before his order was transmitted, the news of the defeat had already arrived in advance, and Huan Wen's bad premonition was confirmed step by step.

"Prime Minister, General Duan was defeated and captured, and our army was crushed like scattered sand, please give the Prime Minister the order to retreat!"

Huan Wen was shocked, as if he still couldn't believe it, "Duan Si is defeated?!" ”

Xi Chao seemed to have expected this ending a long time ago, and did not show the slightest surprise. Duan Si broke Yan's heart, but he didn't break his love, now that King Wu is coming to fight, he will mess up his heart, how can he be sent to fight?

He couldn't help but think of Huan Wen's majestic and murderous warning eyes, he didn't regret not admonishing him, the prime minister was proud of his victory for a long time, and he would not speak widely without defeat.

"General Duan has not passed fifty rounds, and he has already been knocked off his horse by Xi Luoteng and captured under the axe!"

Huan Wen was stunned, as if a chill came out of his back, he had seen the marksmanship of this thought, although he was not invincible in the world, but he was also a first-class brave general. was captured by Xi Luo Tengsheng so easily today, it can be seen that Murong Chui's subordinates are like clouds, and they are all brave and good generals, how can he not be worried?

"Prime Minister!" The soldier who came to report saw Huan Wen so panicked for the first time, and his heart was suddenly full of fear for the Yan army. Helplessly, the military situation was urgent, and he couldn't help but urge Huan Wen to make a decision early.

Although Li Shu is not a person who is well versed in strategy, but in the end, he is a general who has been fighting for a long time, of course he knows how powerful it is, and he hurriedly came to persuade Huan Wendao, "Prime Minister, since you have been defeated, order a retreat!" Otherwise, the Yan army's iron cavalry will cover and kill, and our army will suffer heavy casualties! ”

Huan Wen didn't speak, but the serious expression on his face was like a dead tree under the cold wind, and it was completely lifeless. He unconsciously looked at Xi Chao, on weekdays, this should be Xi Chao's advice, if he had listened to Xi Chao's advice and not faced Xi Luoteng's cavalry, why did he lose his troops at this time?

It was he who acted alone, hurt the loyalty of the strategists, and lost thousands of soldiers and horses for no reason!

Thinking that Xi Chao has followed him for many years, the two are like mountains and rivers looking for soulmates, and they have always been intimate, but now he looks at Yecheng close at hand, and his ears are occluded, and he can't listen to any advice.

Shouldn't! It shouldn't be!

He hoped that Xi Chao would give him advice at this time, but because of his face, he didn't want to beg for advice at this juncture.

Xi Chao seemed to see Huan Wen's mental activities, and just wanted to get up and offer a plan, and gave Huan Wen a step down the line, but unexpectedly, Huan Wen made a decision before him again.

"Order the army to retreat slowly to the main camp, and I will order people to set up a trapped horse formation, so that Xi Luoteng's two thousand cavalry will not return!"

Huan Wen's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his natural strange bones and arrogance whipped him all the time, and before the last moment, the outcome was unknown.

If you lose, you must also lose beautifully! It's worth the defeat!

Xi Chao looked at Huan Wen's extremely firm and confident eyes, sat down slowly, stroked his beard again, and sighed silently in his heart.

When Xi Luoteng saw that the Jin army looked stupid, and even retreated in a rout, he thought that if he led the cavalry to chase after him with a spear at this time, he would definitely behead more than half of the Jin army.

Xi Luoteng just wanted to lead the army to cover up and kill for a while, but the accompanying general Dye Ganjin stopped him and persuaded, "Poor Kou Mo chase, Huan Wen is cunning, in case he falls into his trap." ”

Xi Luoteng thought about it, Dye Ganjin said the same, how could Huan Wen, an old fox, admit defeat so easily, and besides, they only led two thousand cavalry, although the retreat was fast, but if the lone army went deep into the Huan Wen camp, it might not be so easy to leave. Although he understands this truth, but the big axe in his hand is still itchy and unbearable, when he thinks of Shen Yin's thousands of instructions before leaving, persuade him to win a small victory, don't rush to chase the appearance, he thinks about it or give up.

What's more, King Wu just ordered him to capture Duan Si alive this time, and according to King Wu's order, there will always be a chance to smash Huan Wen's lair, not bad this time!

"Don't chase it, go back to the camp to celebrate!" Siroteng shrugged his shoulders a little unwillingly, swung the big axe in his hand, and raised a burst of sand.

Murong stood in front of the tent with his hands folded, his sturdy back of seven feet and seven inches tall like a strong and majestic mountain, like a mountain-like barrier guarding his soldiers, his barracks, and his country.

He lowered his hands over his knees, and his distant and bright eyes looked straight into the distance, as if he had expected the figure of Siroteng carrying an axe and driving a horse to win Daosheng.

Murong Ling stood beside him, but he was already half a foot taller than his father in his twenties, with his handsome hair flying, his head held high, and he stood in the sky and the earth.

In the distance, Si Luoteng led two thousand cavalry to gallop over, and the footprints of the horse's hooves galloped out, confirming that the swallow banner of victory stood everywhere.

"King Wu!" Xi Luoteng saw Murong Chui standing waiting for him from a distance, and his heart was excited, and he didn't realize that he was a little faster on horseback.

"King Wu! I captured Duan Si's house! "There was still some distance from the battalion, and I heard the excited voice of Siroteng shaking the whole battalion.

The whole battalion was looking forward to it, this small battle, maybe not much success, but it blocked the fierce offensive of the Jin army for the first time, which greatly boosted the morale of the Yan army.

"Worthy of my heroic commander General Siro!" King Wu was overjoyed as usual and personally stepped forward to greet Xi Luoteng.

King Wu is close to the people so far, love will be like a son, Xi Luoteng is grateful to Dai Yi, and has the heart of wanting to repay.

Xi Luoteng turned over and dismounted, and Kai Kai said, "King Wu, you are really right, although Duan Si's spear is powerful, but in close combat, it will be trapped in the big axe. ”

Murong Chui unconsciously looked at Duan Si, who was tied up by five flowers, the handsome son of the Duan clan in Liaoxi had unkempt hair covering his face at this time, and he was no longer in the style of the past.

Perhaps, we are all old.

Duan Si also looked at Murong Chui at the same time, but he quickly turned his face away, I don't know if it was the helplessness of being in the battalions, or the tossing and turning of fate, in short, in this ruthless place of the battlefield, there is no family affection.

Murong Ling looked at his father and second uncle, who were all his relatives, but at this time, he couldn't do anything other than stand quietly next to his father and share his emotions and lamentations.

Even if they are out on the expedition, there are still many things that they can't help themselves, and the invisible shackles on their heads are choking the throat of Wu Wangfu little by little, and he can almost predict that if they don't act, sooner or later they will be bound to death by something called loyalty.

He thought, he should be the only one in the camp who wasn't excited by the news of the victory.

If they really retreated from Huan Wen's army, they would inevitably be high, and I am afraid that they would be able to keep the world of the royal family at that time, but they would push the Wu Wangfu to the brink of danger.

"King Wu, what do you think should be done with Duan Si?" Xi Luoteng looked at Duan Si and couldn't help but ask.

This Great Yan rebel general, if he is sent back to Yecheng, will definitely be executed. King Wu ordered him to capture Duan Si alive, he should take into account the old friendship and couldn't bear to put him to death.

On the one hand, he admired King Wu's righteous deeds, but he couldn't help but worry about the treacherous clouds of the Yecheng court.

"Imprisoned Duan Sixian first, I still have to ask Huan Wen from his mouth about the truth and truth." As if taking into account the concerns of the generals, and as if to avoid suspicion, Murong Chui made a reasonable explanation for temporarily saving Duan Si's life.

"Let's go back to the camp, we won these two battles today, and we should celebrate it." Murong Chui seemed to be overjoyed, and waved his big hand and said, "The soldiers guarding the camp have also withdrawn, and the whole battalion will celebrate this time." ”

Xi Luoteng was immediately stunned, this Wu Wang military camp has always explicitly banned alcohol, even if it wins a big battle, it will at most replace wine with tea, how can the ban be opened today, and even the guards have been withdrawn?

He couldn't figure it out anyway, and he hadn't taken a step yet.

Dye Ganjin smiled lightly, and immediately understood the deep meaning of King Wu, and took the lead in striding towards the camp.

"Dye Kanjin, just leave?" Siroteng couldn't help but shout behind him.

Dye Ganjin looked back, with a little smile and urging, and said, "King Wu has given you a celebration, why don't you come over quickly." ”

"Oh." Si Luo Teng followed along, as if Dye Ganjin also made sense. Anyway, if you have wine to drink, you can satisfy your cravings.
