Section 10 Defeat of Longxi
The battle of the Yin Secret made me understand a reason, why when I went to the Yuncheng Underground Palace in this Void World, the Great Wizard left me with a halberd instead of a demon slaying sword!
At this time, in an era of cold weapons, ancient wars occurred from time to time, and swords and other weapons were only suitable for fighting alone, and were not suitable for commanding troops to fight and charge into battle! From this point, it can be seen that this is a combat weapon that the great wizard deliberately gave me a combat weapon suitable for generals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I've always been very curious about this, why the weight of the weapon left to me by the great wizard varies from person to person, and even the type of weapon changes from time to time, and what kind of mechanism did this great wizard install in that stone pavilion? Could it be that he has a lot of weapons? He will automatically give me different demon-slaying weapons according to the time? But how do you know that the weight varies from person to person? What is the material of this weapon?
Everything feels too weird, it seems that this halberd is specially designed to cooperate with my use of the Xuanmen Dunjia technique, and the charm on this halberd can burst out with stronger power under the inspiration of spiritual power and Xuanmen Dunjia technique!
This kind of demon slaying weapon is a mystery, this great wizard of the Western Zhou Dynasty is even more a mystery within a mystery, I don't know what kind of high level his witchcraft has been practiced, and more mysteries are still waiting for me to solve them one by one!
I thought about it for a long time, and I struggled to figure out why the weight of the weapon varies from person to person! Finally, I came to the conclusion that this should be the function of the spell, which is attached to the weapon and absorbs the aura of the earth, and changes the weight of the weapon according to the person! As for the principle, I naturally haven't been able to figure it out for a while, anyway, it's very weird!
Just as I was sitting in the camp and thinking about these things, Gan Wen walked in from outside with a big grin and exclaimed at me: "Your Royal Highness, when you fought with the Huns a few days ago, what did Your Highness do? Why is it so powerful?"
I glanced up at him slightly, and replied lukewarmly: "This is the secret technique of this king's immortal law, which can only be understood but not spoken!"
One sentence dispelled all his thoughts, Gan Wen shrugged his shoulders, bowed his head very depressed and said: "Oh, His Royal Highness the Prince has obtained the true inheritance of the immortals, and this is my great deputy! In this case, why don't we immediately lead our troops to Qi County and directly capture that Hulan Ruo'er, why bother fighting with those Hun soldiers here, so much trouble!"
...... If only things could be so simple, if I could really capture the thief directly, this war and turmoil could be solved very quickly! But the problem is, if Hulan Ruo can also do Xuanmen thaumaturgy, and his skills are definitely more solid than mine when he is so old, I may not be his opponent! And what I am most worried about now is not Qi County, and that Prince Wulihan doesn't know where to lead the army, there should be no mistakes in Shuicheng this day!
Gan Wen has been waiting for me to answer, I thought for a while and then replied: "There are people outside the sky, and a mountain is higher than a mountain, so Hu Ruolan Shan Yu is not so easy to deal with! General Gan, this king has to remind the general, don't be a little frivolous because you win a battle, you should understand the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"
After hearing this, Gan Wen smiled all over his face, and replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness the prince has taught him that the veteran will obey his orders and remember the church of His Royal Highness the prince, and he will never dare to have the idea of underestimating the enemy!"
I nodded, waved at him and said, "Go down, arrange more people to patrol, beware of enemy attacks on Yinmi City at night!"
Gan Wen put away his smile, bowed his hand and received the order, and retreated in an orderly manner. We must always be vigilant on the battlefield, and all kinds of lessons in history are lessons from the past, and there is no need for future generations to repeat the mistakes of the past, and I hope that my admonition will make Gan Wen have some brains! Leading troops to fight is not a joke, and if it is not done well, the whole army will be wiped out, and the lives of so many soldiers are at stake, and even I myself cannot bear this responsibility if something happens.
The next few days were relatively calm, and there was no Beiting army coming to attack and disturb Yinmi, so I took this time to arrange manpower to quickly treat the soldiers who were injured in the battle! For those soldiers who were seriously injured, let the team carrying grain and grass take them back to Dayong to recuperate, so as to minimize the drag of the wounded on the front-line army!
After receiving the dispatch order of Dorha Da Dan Yu, I immediately led 90,000 Dayong troops east out of Yinmi, and went straight to the rear of the main force of the Huruolan rebels, and Da Dan Yu came to a front and back attack.
Fifty miles west of Qi County, we encountered 100,000 cavalry from Beiting, and before I could figure out the situation, the Beiting army waved its flag and began to attack.
It was a vicious battle, and because the army arrived from the west in a hurry, it was too late to set up a formation and cast spells, so it had to be forced to face the Huns head-on!
But the Huns are too many, and the infantry of the Yong army has suffered serious losses, so they can only be protected by cavalry and slowly fight and retreat to the southeast, hoping to bypass the fierce Beiting army and go to Qixian to fight with Dadan Yu Doerha's army!
There are still more than 100 miles to go to Qi County, and I personally led 10,000 cavalry to break the rear and cover the rapid retreat of the army to the southeast!
On a hillside, I set up a position here under cover according to the topography to buy time for the retreat of the army!
A scout rode his horse and quickly galloped over, panting and reporting to me: "Your Royal Highness Prince Qiju, the eastern wing army of Beiting has sent 100,000 cavalry to aid Qi County, and the rebels have marched quickly and have joined the battlefield in Qi County!"
Good guy, this Hulan Ruoshan really has a hand in mobilizing troops, first sending 100,000 cavalry from the base camp to block me! He used the remaining 100,000 troops to fight with Dorha's army, and then transferred 100,000 cavalry from the east to support him, which caught me off guard!
Soon I changed the operational deployment and asked Gan Wen, who was in charge of directing the retreat of the army, to rearrange a fire formation in front of him by referring to the previous dense formation. I want to let this group of fierce Huns enter the sea of fire again, and after destroying the 100,000 troops, I will wave my army north to continue to flank the main force of the rebels, I see where you Hulan can still transfer troops to help!
After receiving the order, Gan Wen acted according to the plan, told the army to stop retreating, and began to set up a fire array on the spot!
After a day of maneuvering with the Beiting pursuers in the rear, the continuous combat made my consumption multiply, and my physical strength began to drop sharply! This Xuanmen Dunjia technique is also lonely in front of the tide of enemy troops, the war is not fought like this, and it must rely on the cooperation of the army and the formation to win, and it is really difficult for one person's strength to have a great effect!
After receiving the news that Gan Wenbu had set up a formation, I immediately began to fight and retreat with 10,000 cavalry, and introduced the 100,000 Beiting pursuers in the rear into the fire array!
It's good to have a formation to assist, after a spell was recited, the Hun army fell into a sea of fire in an instant! Although I am not a crazy killer, because of the consideration of the safety of the Yong army, I unconsciously showed a satisfied smile when I saw this miserable scene in front of me!
Gan Wen opened his mouth wide, looked at the sea of fire under the hillside in surprise, and asked very puzzled: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general has not yet figured out why he drew a few lines, and then His Highness recited a few incantations, there were so many raging fires all over the ground, what is this burning?"
I can't answer such a question, maybe it's the spell that drives the spiritual power of the earth, and all the combustible gases in the ground are drawn out of the ground to burn automatically, maybe it's the combustible gases and materials absorbed from the surroundings, anyway, it can burn!"
I didn't explain it to him like this, I just said casually and perfunctorily: "This is an immortal formation, and the mystery of it can't be explained in a word!"
After hearing this, Gan Wen pouted at me and muttered, "Your Highness always says this, just like you didn't say it!"
...... , I glanced at him and said coldly: "Pass the order, all the cavalry will immediately line up behind me, and kill all the rebels who rushed through the fire array on the spot!"
Gan Wen immediately threw away all the questions in his mind and replied, "The last general takes orders!"
The battle continued, and the Huns tried to rush five times, but finally failed to break through the defense line of our Dayong army, and finally had to temporarily retreat!
The battle was very close, and it was not until the evening of the next day that the battle was completely over, and seeing that the Huns had all retreated, I drove the spell to extinguish the fire in the array!
In the middle of the night, I was hurriedly woken up by Fan Yong, and he roared and said, "Your Royal Highness, something is wrong!"
I woke up from my dream and hurriedly asked, "Why are you so flustered, what is the situation?"
Fan Yong replied with great fear: "Your Royal Highness, Longxi County has been lost, and Uncle Huang's 30,000 cavalry has been wiped out!"
"What?", I asked in a panic, "What about Uncle Huang? What about Zhao Tiande? Isn't there more than 200,000 troops stationed in Tianshui City?"
Fan Yong replied sadly: "Uncle Huang did not listen to the dissuasion, and led 30,000 cavalry to meet the enemy, but suddenly the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and all 30,000 cavalry were buried alive! Zhao Tiande was afraid that Uncle Huang would lose, so he led the army to rescue him desperately, and he was also seriously injured! However, the rebels of Beiting took the opportunity to attack Tianshui City after General Zhao and the army left the city, and the thief army was so powerful that General Zhang Tianyuan had to lead the defenders to abandon the city and leave, and then go to fight Uncle Huang and them!"
Uncle Huang...... I sighed deeply and continued, "What happened to the army?
Fan Yong continued to reply: "Under the cover of the left general Lin Chenghua and the right general Zhang Tianyuan, the army quickly withdrew eastward from Longxi County, and now the Longxi army is stationed in the area of Wuyue to repair, wanting to revive the army and kill back to Longxi, and fight the Beiting rebels to the death!"
I frowned and asked, "How much is left of Zhao Tiande's army?"
Fan Yong replied: "Only the imperial uncle's cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the men and horses are all unharmed, and the Longxi army still has 100,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry armor!"
After thinking about it for a while, I immediately made a major decision, and instructed Fan Yong: "Immediately send someone to Wu Yue to give an order, ordering Zhao Tiande and Uncle Huang to lead the army to Chencang quickly, and let the army set up heavy guards at the entrance of Chencang's old road, and ambush archers around it, so as to strictly prevent the rebels from entering the old road and attacking my great man!"
Fan Yong immediately arched his hand and said, "Obey!"
When he was just about to leave, I stopped him again and ordered: "In addition, send another order to General Han Cheng, saying that the old road will be temporarily handed over to Zhao Tiande and others to garrison, and let him lead the troops to the entrance of the ramp to set up defenses!
"Obey!", Fan Yong hurriedly left the camp after saluting!
Longxi County was lost, and the west of the Nima River was also lost, what is the matter!
At this time, I remembered what Wang Zhe said to me back then, saying that Uncle Huang was reckless and impulsive and could not be relied on, and now it seems that what Wang Zhe said is indeed very reasonable, I am really stupid, how could I think of letting him defend Longxi County!
One person's mistake in the country and the people, the loss of Longxi and Hexi, I naturally can't escape the blame!
