Chapter 15: Perdition
Late at night, the chaotic situation in the city of Ji Nan stopped slightly, Ji Ying and others went up to the city wall again, looked outside the city, and there was silence in the strict and orderly military camp outside Huaishang, through the bonfires and torches in the camp, some groups of warriors and soldiers who were on vigil were patrolling.
"What's the situation outside the city?" asked Ki'an in a low voice.
"It's business as usual, Huaishang's army didn't think at all that we would flee at night, they were simply defenseless. Ji Ying showed a hint of happiness on his face and said, "It seems that the momentum originally arranged in the east of the city is now completely unnecessary. ”
"We can sneak out of the city directly from the west of the city. ”
"It's just wonderful. Ji An also rejoiced.
Later, the two of them went down to the city and drove quickly to the west of the city.
Seeing the military situation outside the city, the warriors of Jidi no longer had luck in their hearts, and then there was Jiying's persuasion, they gave up a lot of heavy things and the like, and many things were cheaper than the merchants in the city, and replaced them with gold and silver, so that it was much lighter, and it seemed that this team was in the same situation as the afternoon to "move".
Ji Ying looked at the team, and was slightly satisfied, this was at least a bit of a withdrawal and transfer.
At the moment, the samurai opened the west city gate, and he took the lead in the front by the light of the torches, and the follow-up samurai and warriors followed again and again, but Ji An's courage was much smaller than him, and there was no large group of people and horses, in this dark night, especially when the enemy's strong army was on the side, there was no sense of security in the bottom of his heart, and he went out of the city together in the middle of the team.
At this time, the night was getting darker, the moonlight in the sky was getting darker and darker, and this team of 10,000 people, for fear that the movement would be too big, attracted the Huaishang military vehicles stationed in the south of the city, and only lit a few torches, scattered and barely illuminated the road, and asked the soldiers to move forward slowly in the dark.
It's just that at the moment when they were in the city, their movements had been seen by a pair of eyes in the sky, and Wang Yue quickly learned about it, and then it was transmitted through the Huaibo priest to the two thousand people who were sent by Wang Yue in advance to the preset battlefield.
"Ki'an, for some reason, I always feel a little uneasy tonight. It was Ji Yong, who was in the middle of the chariot with Ji An, who spoke: "This feeling is like being watched by some powerful demon beast in the dark. ”
"You think about it too much, before leaving the city just now, Ji Ying and I went to the south to see that the Huaishang military vehicle was defenseless for us to abandon the city and run away. ”
"I hope so. Ji Yong took a deep breath, looked at the boundless night left and right, and said wish, but he held the bronze short sword in his hand tightly, Ji An only said that he thought too much, but this instinctive perception of crisis had saved his life several times on the battlefield of Suiguo.
After a while, he could not bear this instinctive nervousness, so he jumped out of the carriage and went round the procession, and from time to time he took up his torch and looked in all directions, hoping to find any clues, but found nothing.
But he found a phenomenon that many samurai who had been on the battlefield were like him, faintly feeling a kind of fear and uneasiness.
If it was him, it might be delusional, but that's how most samurai feel, so what does that mean?
He quickly ran to the carriage and said anxiously to Ji An: "Ji An, something is wrong, many warriors in the army feel an instinctive uneasiness like me, this is absolutely abnormal, we must be targeted by Huai Shang military chariot." ”
"How is this possible?" Ji An said in disbelief: "Those military vehicles in the south of the city have not moved at all, if there is any movement to chase us, they will also have to light torches in this dark night, but you see, who else is there around besides our torches?"
Seeing that Ji Yong still looked restless, Ji An continued: "Besides, now that we have all left the city, if the Huaishang military chariot chases us, can we still go back? No matter what happens, we can only move forward." ”
"The military vehicles in the south of the city are not moving?" Ji Yong was shocked and exclaimed: "But there are thousands of soldiers in Huaishang's military vehicles, do you think they will send other military vehicles out to wait for us?"
At this moment, the fields on both sides of the driveway.
With a "whew", a torch lit in the darkness, which was particularly striking in the night, so much so that it was far higher than the previous screams attracted Ji Yong, and all the samurai and warriors in the lane focused their eyes on the firelight hundreds of paces away.
I saw that as soon as this torch was lit, it was thrown high into the air by his master.
As this torch appeared in the sky, the sound of "huhu" wind and fire continued, almost instantly, countless torches appeared in the front, left and right, and even the rear of the lane military vehicles, and the torches were blown by the strong wind, reflecting countless soldiers.
Ji Yong trembled, no wonder he instinctively felt the crisis, but he didn't expect that there were so many people waiting for them in the dark, and he watched with his own eyes, as the torches lit, there were more soldiers rising from the ground.
Dense, black pressed piece.
After going to the battlefield of Suiguo, Ji Yong only looked at it with two eyes, and knew that the number of enemy troops around him was probably far above them, and what was even more terrifying was that they were actually in an array at this moment, and there was no doubt that they were all the elite of the south of the city in the afternoon.
"Ji Yong!" Ji An's face turned pale, looking like he had seen a ghost.
Ji Yong ignored him, but looked at his own team, but saw that the entire team was scattered in the short march, and the warriors and soldiers in the team had the intention of running away.
It might take only one charge to crush them.
Wang Yue swept in front of the army with the consciousness of the military master's domain, and the power of the commanding domain operated, and the order appeared directly in the bodies of the two 10,000-strong captains and the commanders under his command without going through the Huaibo priests, like an invisible hand of fate plucking the strings, everyone had a flash of inspiration, and did not receive any orders, but they all understood what to do next in an instant, one of the captains pulled out his sword, and several orders were transmitted through the Huaibo priest beside him.
The 20,000-strong team is like a lurking giant beast finally revealing its hideous face, and it is like a huge war machine that is still and does not move, and the roar of the machine begins to crush with all its might, but in this action, ignoring the golden drum trombone that usually marches, only occasionally a few people are not big orders and commands, so that the warriors and warriors who are familiar with the golden drum are extremely uncomfortable, and they feel an inexplicable cold air rushing to the head cover.
"Boom, boom, boom!" In the silent night, the sound of neat footwork and marching sounded in the fields on the left and right, and it kept coming from all directions, and each blow hit the hearts of the warriors and soldiers like the sound of war drums, pressing them trembling and at a loss.
"Dang!" said a peasant soldier, unable to hold his shield with trembling hands, and fell to the ground with a small but loud sound.
This voice seemed to be a signal, and it had approached the first row of twenty steps into the lane, and under the order of the captain of the hundreds, he threw the javelin in his hand with great force, first several hundreds, and then spread to the entire first column like a wave.
There was a dense whooshing sound in the air, the whistling of javelins piercing the air, followed by the seemingly endless screams and wails of the Jidi camp, and the frightened screams of countless peasant soldiers, and at this moment, many familiar people around them, even samurai, were killed by javelins.
If the Huaishang army had not surrounded them and made them have no way to escape, only under this round of offensive, they would have lost their armor and retreated, but at this moment, they could only frantically squeeze inward, squeezed behind their companions and carriages, trying to get further back, it seemed that they could get safe further inside, and it looked like a frightened chicken in a chicken farm that was frightened by an eagle flying over above.
Ji Ying, who was at the front of the Jidi military vehicle, sighed helplessly.
Such a situation is known without looking at it, they have completely lost the ability to resist, but the Huaishang army only stopped moving after the first round of javelin throwing, seeing the scene of the rout of the military vehicles.
"Lay down your arms, and those who descend will not kill, and those who lay down will not kill. The sound rang out as neatly as their steps.
Forced by the military situation, the warriors, peasants, and even samurai, who were frantically crowded inward, heard this sound as if they had been amnestied, and threw their weapons to the ground one by one, and the Ji people were powerless to stop them, and they also put down their weapons under the look of each other, waiting for the unknown fate in the night.
Wang Yue's gaze also retracted from the sky above the battlefield, fell into the tent and was summoned by Zhao Wu, and said lightly on the defector who was also waiting for an unknown fate below: "Inform you of a news." ”
"The military vehicles of Jinan City fled from Shennan overnight tonight, and they have now been surrounded and annihilated by the soldiers of our coalition army. ”
The scribes and samurai who surrendered to Cheng were shocked, and this result had been considered before they surrendered.
I just didn't expect that the news would come so quickly, and the ground-drawing military vehicles were completely wiped out.
Some people with lively brains have keenly thought that after the destruction of this military vehicle, there will be no more military vehicles to resist the Huaishang army in the entire Jidi, so next... Then it's time for them to reap the rewards of the right choice.
In other words, they have successfully saved their family business through Toucheng, and will even go further?
The scribes and samurai in the tent thought excitedly, their faces flushed and their breathing shortness of breath, this was really good news.
They were too excited and excited, but they didn't notice Wang Yue's face, as well as the faint sneer on the corner of Zhao Wu's mouth, and the solemnity in his eyes.
An hour later, the flames burned into a long line on the road, and the 20,000-strong team that was ambushed slowly returned to the army.
The captives of the brigade were dejected and brought back with ropes they had used to go, and then all the soldiers were taken to the side and handed over to the Wudang army, among which the members of the Ji family, nearly 300 scribes, warriors, and their families were all escorted to the front of the camp to wait for Wang Yue's departure.
