Chapter 70: Dancing with the Enemy
"General, that's all there is to it. Jin Feng was in the barracks and said to Gong Yunhuo, at this time he had already returned to Luo Guangjun. Gu Renqian led his men and horses to Huihe Pass, entered the pass, and also met other generals. Now they gathered in the barracks and greeted each other.
The arrival of the Kaiyuan army has indeed boosted morale, and now the morale of the entire Huihe Pass is slowly recovering.
"General Gu, if Jin Feng has offended before, I apologize. Gong Yunhuo heard Jin Feng say about fighting with the Gu family brothers and sisters, and politely apologized to Gu Renqian. Gu Renqian was also polite and got up to salute back. The two of them confessed to each other, how many troops they had with each other, and what happened before, and it was also at this time that Jin Feng knew how the Kaiyuan Army was hiding there.
It turned out that the Kaiyuan army was also marching forward like Li Lingyong's Qiu Hao army, and on the way to the march, it had already encountered the army of Ling Ling, the two armies fought, and the number of Ling Ling was suppressed, but they pursued but were introduced into the encirclement, and there was a coalition of Ling Ling and Lingshi, fortunately, Gu Renqian felt that something was wrong in advance, and broke through when the encirclement was not fully formed, but he was also chased, and finally hid on the mountain before. And most importantly, according to him, it was the 'Jieti' army that burned Huihe Pass and an army of the Lingling that attacked them.
This time the information is right, Gong Yunhuo and Qing Xiao, and Gu Renqian took out the maps respectively, and these three maps have different markings, and the military advisor Yang He took out a new map on the side to mark the information on the three maps.
I saw that there were three obvious offensive routes on the map, the most one was Gong Yunhuo's Luo Guangjun and Wang Huajun and the route of the inlaid army to attack Dongming Pass, and General Li Guer's army was on a route dozens of miles away. I think the marshal's original intention was to take Dongming Pass, and the rest of the army could rely on Dongming Pass to counterattack. But what I didn't expect was that there were so many rebels.......
"At the moment, let's not talk about Dongming Pass, we have already been beaten out of the third-line position, we have to find a way to go back first. Gong Yunhuo said, but he was a little helpless.
"Yes, according to what you said, we can't resist the strength of the enemy army, but now we know what is happening, if we don't return to our camp, we will die sooner or later. β
"The generals here all know that the situation of our department is the worst, so I don't have an opinion on the offensive line here, and listen to your arrangement, but ..... the combat strength of my troops is indeed a little worse, and I hope that the two of you can consider this. Li Lingyong was a little embarrassed, but this must also be said, if it is possible at this time, it is a good thing.
"Where did they go, do we know now?" asked Gu Renqian.
So I told them about tracking them before, sorted out a rough idea, and at this time a very clear goal appeared in front of everyone.
"That means Husai shouldn't have been attacked now?"
"That's what we know so now. β
As soon as everyone summed up, they didn't say much. It was immediately decided to set off for Husai. According to the deployment of troops, Gu Renqian's troops walked in the front, and Li Lingyong's walked last. After repairing for half a day, the troops left Huihe Pass. During this period, the veteran Hua Kui also began to show signs of waking up, but he asked about the situation in a daze, and learned that the troops were fine, so he fell asleep again. Bao Yuanqi didn't wake up, just whispered from time to time, his head moved around, and he looked uncomfortable.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the army went on the road, during which the wind and waves were calm, but on the way they were targeted by a group of roaring wolves, and they came straight to Li Lingyong's wounded soldiers.
After two more days, Gu Renqian sent several teams of soldiers as the vanguard to walk in front of the large army, which was actually more than two miles in front, just asking for peace of mind.
That night, the army stopped to rest, and the generals repeatedly determined the current situation, sorted out the situation to be reported, and thought that once it was safe to reach Husai, they could report these situations to the marshal. When the morning dawn set off again, when the tiger pass was approached, the rapid march began, the cavalry opened the way in front, and the infantry soldiers marched in the center. Archers, spirit mages and others followed behind, running towards Husai. However, he said that the generals had changed their formation at this time, and no longer only stayed in front of their own army, but went to the front of the army to gather, Gong Yunhuo and Qingxiao were on the left, and Gu Renqian and Li Lingyong were on the right.
The four of them chatted along the way, from their respective reasons for joining the army, their cultivation experience, their marching strengths, etc., until the establishment of Husai and so on. Chatting and chatting, there was a slight cry in my ears, and the voice sounded very far away, and I couldn't really hear it. The group walked further, the sound became louder and louder, walked along the avenue, and finally determined that it was from the direction of Husai, the four generals became nervous, each urged the horse to the vanguard in front, and led the team to pass, at this time it was only a few miles away from Husai, and when he was walking, he saw the figure of the spirit in the woods in the distance.
"That's reconnaissance from the rear of the .....!" The four generals were present, and they knew what was happening in an instant, obviously, Husai was attacked, and the woods in front of them were obviously scouts scattered around to monitor the movements, the four of them looked at each other, and they all understood each other's thoughts, and immediately led the vanguard to kill the past, and rushed violently, those reconnaissance spirits were destroyed by the brigade before they could react, and two of them ran back when they saw the vanguard, and wanted to go back to report, Gu Renqian would give this opportunity, starting from the horse, taking a few steps in the air, and the spiritual power cushioned his feet, flashed to the front of the two spirits, and slashed horizontally, and cut off one after anotherγ
After dealing with it here, everyone leaned towards Husai, went out of the forest, shouted and killed all day, and the scene that caught their eyes made the four generals stunned. On the tiger fortress, tens of thousands of soldiers stuck to the city wall, arrows and feathers flew, and under the wall of the tiger fortress were city defense walls. Hundreds of thousands of troops lined up behind these walls to meet the spirits, and Gong Yunhuo and they were behind the spirits, from here, the front was densely packed with the figures of the spirits, and there was also the army of the spirit master in it. A rough calculation shows no less than three million! The entire army lined up for a mile or two!
And this tiger plug knew at a glance that it was not an easy bone to gnaw, and the army of the spirit was blocked in front of the city defense walls, and the spears that stretched out from the front of the wall continued to assassinate the spirit who came to the city. And the Lingling's martial arts were also firmly blocked by the spirit magic soldiers in this wall, and the entire Husai was impregnable.
"Beautiful!" Qing Xiao watched with enthusiasm, and couldn't help shouting as he watched the Lingling's attacks being repulsed continuously.
"Hurry up, let's kill it with a large army!"
"Wait, the defenders of Husai are afraid that they will not easily let us in, and we will rush in now, so that they will think that they are fighting together. β
"What then?"
"I see, we have to wait, wait for the weak position of the spirit to be exposed, we will rush there, until we rush to the front of the tiger fortress, form a defensive line, show our intentions, and take advantage of their lack of reaction We can enter the city defense and defend together. β
"Good!"
"I think it's okay. β
The agreement was decided, and everyone returned to their respective armies, waiting for the opportunity. After about half an hour, Gu Renqian, who was staring at the front, suddenly attacked!
The cavalry of the Kaiyuan Army suddenly charged from the back of Ling Ling, and in front of them were the archers of Ling Ling, and Gu Renqian took a fancy to this.
As soon as the cavalry's iron hooves arrived, there was a wail, and the cavalry was full of severed limbs of the spirit, and those archers had no combat effectiveness in an instant, Gu Renqian took the lead and rushed into the spirit array!
The cavalry of Luo Guangjun, as well as the Wanhua Army, the cavalry of the Ring Army, and the cavalry of Qiu Hao's army, all rushed into the battlefield, expanding the road for the Kaiyuan Army to rush out again. The sword and shield, heavy armor, armor and so on that followed, all pressed up in one go! The array was crushed, Gong Yunhuo followed in it, and the spirit method in his hand only made three blows, each blow turned the people who rushed over from afar, and pulled out the long knife, and as the soldiers killed the spirit that could still move, and then looked at Li Lingyong, who killed the spirit one after another, opening and closing his hands, the fire in his left hand, and the wind blade in his right hand struck out, and pieces of spirit spirits and spirit masters were killed and overturned, taking advantage of this gap, the wounded soldiers also followed and rushed in.
The archers after the pressure are in place, the bow is open like a full moon, just hit the face is several salvos, this sudden blow made Ling Ling suddenly fall into a panic, those who are close have been taken, and those who are a little farther away, see the rain of arrows coming and want to hide to the side, but are blocked by friendly troops, want to defend but the shield soldiers are blocking the front line of the Tiger Fortress incoming bow and arrow, a few breaths, the number of Ling Ling falling is rising, the surprise attack of the 200,000 army, a charge is almost the number of a complete army, everyone is encouraged, at this time the defenders of the Tiger Fortress also saw the sudden attack of the army, all thought that it was the arrival of reinforcements, cheered, but saw a person killed with the cavalryγ When he got closer, he shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" Until this point, they all saw clearly, there were no more troops from the forest, and such an army suddenly came, and the general stationed at the city gate was also stunned: "Who is coming?"
"The general of the Kaiyuan Army, Gu Renqian, fled with the military headquarters and rushed back here, I wanted to ask for help, but when I saw that Husai was surrounded, I waited for the opportunity to rush back, and quickly opened the door to defend together!"
"I'm going to inform the general!"
"Hurry up, it's too late for the spirit to react!"
As soon as these words fell, he had already seen that the soldiers who were still fighting on the road that rushed out before had faint signs of being flanked, and Gu Renqian knew that once the spirit reacted to see the formation, a flanking attack was inevitable. Sure enough, when the army of about 200,000 was engaged in the battle with the spirit, several armies began to move and the target was them.
"Stand out!" Gu Renqian had already led the men and horses to start building a defense in front of the city wall, just waiting for Gong Yunhuo and them to come out and converge, and there were indeed people and horses rushing out, but the speed was too slow, and I was afraid that it would not be as expected if it continued like this.
"Brothers, don't fight! Kill out!" Gong Yunhuo had already shouted more than once, and Qing Xiao had already used his hands to pull the soldiers forward to make them move forward, but the army of the spirit had already begun to surround him!
"Let's go! Go and stop them!" Gu Renqian was just about to lead his troops back and block the encirclement of the spirits, but at this moment he heard a sound of the city gate, and the city gate opened! As soon as he opened it, he saw more than thirty figures rushing out of it, all of them with strong spiritual power, and the spiritual power fluctuated sharply in an instant, and the surrounding soldiers were about to be overturned.
The person who took the lead turned his head and nodded to Gu Renqian and killed him, the man was dressed in black armor, with a tiger head engraved on his chest, and two tiger heads on his shoulders, with a tiger head under his feet, nine feet tall, powerful, with a dragon and tiger on his face, and a heavy knife with a thick back hanging from his waist. He rushed over, and the blade just punched out, and the spiritual power blessed it, and the fist mark was magnified in the air, and the fist smashed down those surrounding spirits with one punch, and they were all crushed into powder. Looking at the palm of his left hand, it was also a palm print, and the spirits on the other side collapsed. The other thirty or so figures around him each cast spells, or used swords, and immediately brought a purgatory.
Gu Renqian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the skills of those people: "They are all generals!" This is not speculation, because those people are wearing fine armor, and the generals on their waists all indicate their identities!
Riding the road they fought out, Gong Yunhuo rushed out with his men and horses! The 200,000 troops poured into the wall like a tide! However, just as expected, Ling Ling and those rebels were also about to enter, how could those thirty or so generals let go?
I saw that the tiger head was about to burst into a loud shout, the voice was so loud that to be honest, Gu Renqian almost couldn't even hold the knife steadily.
Needless to say, some of them were so frightened that they threw their weapons and ran. Those spirit masters who approached were also cut into ghosts by a sword light.
"Who is this?" Gu Renqian's face was full of questions, but he also knew that it was not the right time, so the soldiers who sent the defense line he established did not enter the pass, so he quickly packed up his men and horses and hid in them.
"Close the door!" An order was given, and the door of Husai was closed again, and when Ling Ling saw that there was no benefit, and the rain of arrows was too dense, he hurriedly withdrew his troops, and the scene returned to the previous stalemate. It's just that Ling Ling obviously lost a wave.
"Luo Guangjun, General of the Unified Army, Ring Army, Acting General, Gong Yunhuo. β
"Wan Huajun, acting general, Lin Qingxiao. β
"Qiu Haojun, General of the Unified Army, Li Lingyong. β
"Kaiyuan Army, General of the Unified Army, Gu Renqian. β
Everyone entered the pass and introduced themselves, and the generals who had killed out of the gate before also introduced themselves
"Pang Hejun, General of the Unified Army, Li Taihong. β
"Gu'an Army, General of the Unified Army, Zhang Guming. β
"The ............ of the Raiders"
Beyond the expectations of Gong Yunhuo and the others, there were more than a dozen armies in this Tiger Fortress, and the total number exceeded 700,000.
And the tiger head general has not yet introduced himself.
"Who the hell is he....."
