Chapter 40: Military law is ruthless
"It's the Night North Iron Ride!"
Xiao Wolf's face was full of joy, and he glanced at these night wolf warriors: they all had a fierce face, that murderous aura, like a raging wind, killing faces like knives, and the unique smell of blood in his bones was condensed but not dispersed.
He couldn't help nodding secretly, and said secretly: "It's really worthy of being the wolf in the wind of my purple plug, and it really deserves its name!" ”
At this moment, outside the east gate, two horses' hooves sounded several miles away.
Xiao Wolf's ears were extremely high, he listened attentively, and judged from the roaring hooves: the hooves were suffocating and calm, and they should be the main cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, with no less than 10,000 people, but there were still five miles away from here. The other one, with a clear hoof sound and a high-pitched hissing sound, should be the night north iron ride, only two miles away from here.
"Anyway, it's better for me to wait for reinforcements faster!" He nodded, ready to check Yang Tingfeng's injury, when suddenly, the sound of the barbarian's horse's hooves in the distance suddenly disappeared.
"What?" Xiao Wolf's ears floated up and down, startled, and muttered: "Could it be that my ear power is wrong?" This...... How can it be? ”
He hurriedly fell to the ground to listen to the confirmation, and after a moment, his face turned blue, "What's the matter?" The cavalry of the barbarians disappeared? In his eyes, there seemed to be a shadow and flame beating, but he couldn't understand it.
You must know that with a force of more than 10,000 people, the sound of rushing footsteps can be heard several kilometers away.
What's more, it is like the sound of horses' hooves on the grassland, even if it is ten miles away, it can be faintly heard.
No, even if it is a hundred miles away, it is well hidden, and it can be vaguely detected from the natural environment and living habits.
You must know that more than 300 years ago, the Western Han Dynasty once planned a war of annihilation against the Xiongnu in the place of Mayi.
Historical name: Ma Yi's strategy
In June of the second year of Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (133 BC), Emperor Wu listened to the advice of his minister Wang Hui and asked Nie Yi, a native of Mayi, and the Xiongnu military ministers to surrender by deception, behead Mayi Lingcheng, and surrender the city to lure the Xiongnu to attack Mayi, hoping to break the morale of the Xiongnu with this blow.
At that time, because the Han army had not attacked for many years, a peace treaty was signed last year.
So, the military minister was moved, so he rode into Wuzhou with 100,000 horses.
After the main force of the Xiongnu entered the Houdatong Basin, Emperor Wu ambushed Han Anguo as the general of the protector army, Li Guang ambushed in the south of Juzhu Mountain, Gongsun He ambushed in the north of Hongtao Mountain, Wang Hui and Li Xi set out from Daijun, ambushed on the mountain northeast of Pingcheng, and cut off its back road.
The strategy of Ma Yi is a fairly perfect military strategy in itself, and there are also successful examples in history for reference.
Back then, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, once used this trick to ambush the Xiongnu army, and the Xiongnu did not dare to invade Zhao for 20 years.
However, man is not as good as heaven.
When the military minister Shan marched to a place more than 100 miles away from Mayi, he suddenly found that the livestock were all over the field and no one was grazing, and he suddenly became suspicious, and captured the Yanmen Captain Shi of the Han patrol, and learned that the Han was ambushing heavy troops near Mayi, so he led the troops to retreat.
The Han soldiers couldn't catch up and had to quit.
The four-way army, 300,000 people, was lonely and fell short.
However, this also reflects from the side how difficult it is for an army of more than 10,000 people to hide without being discovered.
Xiao Wolf frowned slightly, realizing that things were by no means simple, and was pondering to himself, when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves approaching, turned his head to look, and saw that near the west gate, there were thirty-six black-robed and black-armored night knights, like a gallop in the wind, riding horses and rushing over.
When they arrived at the west gate, a night north chief waved his hand and ordered: "All dismount!" Scattered, one team of Tiger Wing Formation, two teams of Crane Wing Formation, and purple arrows were all released, telling the brothers that they were not allowed to enter or leave, and Hugh was going to let go of a barbarian! ”
When everyone heard this, they all rushed off their horses and divided into three teams, each with twelve people.
In just a moment, twenty-four people completed the deployment of the West Gate, and Xiao Wolf took a look: the first team of people and horses, people blocked the door, Lingyun spear in his left hand, and his right hand took out the beast card, forming a tiger wing gun formation. In the second team, the blade wolf ring was unsheathed, and then the horses were covered with long beam shields, and firmly occupied the back of the door.
But see, the purple fireworks in the sky exploded, and for a while, the east gate, the north gate, and the south gate kept galloping out of the night north iron horse, lined up in a double cone charge, and the two cone intersected to charge, and it was not chaotic at all, it was really well-trained and indestructible.
When they landed, the horses galloped, the sand and dust flew, and the rumbling hooves shook people's hearts.
The barbarian warriors looked around, subconsciously back-to-back, forming a circular array, with the infantry on the outside and the crossbowmen standing on the inside, ready to meet the wrath of the feud.
Although it was well organized, it was not panicked.
However, the look of panic on his face could not be concealed.
The northern general on Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing the surrounding seven-seven-eighty-eight, suddenly shouted: "All chopped!" With a wave of his hand, the night north iron cavalry attacked wildly.
He spoke Chinese, and his words were correct and round, and everyone could hear them very clearly.
His voice was not loud, but it reverberated in the heavens and the earth for a long time, and it was quite powerful.
Xiao Wolf couldn't help but take a long breath and relax slightly.
Hurriedly bent down to check Yang Tingfeng's injury: it was really covered in blood, and the injury was extremely serious, especially at the tailbone, which brought up a large stream of blood, which flowed endlessly, he pinched a finger, and in the blink of an eye, he sealed Yang Tingfeng's soul gate, Sanjiao, and Guan Yuan's three big acupoints, and stopped the bleeding.
He took out a black iron box, took out a small piece of black ointment, and carefully applied it, the medicine coagulated when it met blood, and after coagulation, it began to scab slowly, but it was extremely painful, like a thousand knives, and ten thousand ants devouring the heart.
A good man like Yang Tingfeng, even if he bleeds a lot and is seriously injured, no matter how bad the pain is, he can't even hum.
However, the body, because of the conditioned reflex caused by this pain, is simply uncontrollable, causing a lot of ointment to fall from the wound.
Of course he didn't know that this was a very precious healing elixir, which had a lot of origins, and Xiao Wolf didn't have much to store.
But he heard Xiao Wolf's loud voice and said, "Brother, don't move, bear with me!" ”
Hearing this, Yang Tingfeng nodded, but he didn't have the strength to reply, he forced himself to prop up his body, leaned against the wall, and breathed evenly to mediate, so that he could barely control his trembling body.
Xiao Wolf comforted him a few more words and gently patted Yang Tingfeng on the shoulder.
At this moment, there was a thunderous step in front of him, and a group of people and horses, a total of twelve horses, came head-on.
Led by the Yebei Chief, I saw him turn over and dismount, and salute Xiao Wolf with a fist, and the others also did the same, Xiao Wolf couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yebei Xiao Cavalry Battalion Chief, He Ruoyi has seen Commander Xiao." He is about sixty years old, with a wide forehead and broad face, his sideburns have long been covered with white spots, and there is a brown scar at the corner of his mouth, which is very eye-catching.
Being recognized by a stranger here again, Xiao Wolf couldn't help but be shocked, and tried his best to suppress the doubts in his heart, but he couldn't get rid of it, and after hesitating for a while, he also hugged his fists and said: "Uncle He knows Xiao-" He wanted to ask the truth, but he didn't dare to say it.
He Ruoyi saw that his expression was heavy, and he knew that the man in front of him must have a great unspeakable secret, so he deliberately interrupted him and said: "Brother Xiao, don't panic, his subordinates once followed the young general to the Shuaifu, and when he was waiting outside the door to listen to the announcement, he heard Brother Shu Shuai call you so, but I don't know the specific situation, I know that I should die, and I ask Commander Xiao not to be surprised." ”
Xiao Wolf was stunned by him, he didn't know how to answer, and he could only bend down to salute, "How can I speak, Uncle He's life-saving grace, Xiao someone is unforgettable, and the great grace is not thankful, Rong-" He was about to truthfully report the disappearance of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind the door, and there was a commotion, and he was stunned for a moment, and four more Yebei Shi Chang broke in.
The four men, dressed in black fish-scale sleeve armor, walked in quickly.
The first one has a black face and a long beard, and his appearance is extremely majestic.
The man on the left is of medium height, with a pale complexion, a well-rounded gaze, and a very strong look.
Behind them were two people, both of whom were more than eight feet tall, one tall and majestic, with a beard that reached to his chest.
The other is a big beard, dignified and majestic, very powerful.
Xiao Wolf and He Ruoyi were shocked for a while, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and the venue was quiet, but they also felt that the atmosphere was weird.
He Ruoyi was about to speak, but the black-faced and long-bearded Shi Chang had already clenched his fists, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "He Tou, his subordinates were negligent in guarding and were not vigilant, which caused my Northern Iron Cavalry to fall into the Beiban encirclement network at night, and the crime should be punished, please punish it." When the other three heard this, they looked at each other and knelt down.
"What?" He Ruoyi and Xiao Wolf's expressions changed.
"Fence?" Xiao Wolf turned his mind at this time: "Where did these barbarians come from?" Could it be that there is really a secret passage inside the West Beacon Fire? If there really is a secret passage, wouldn't the previous 10,000 barbarian cavalry ........"
When He Ruoyi heard this, a chill flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward, pulled out the head knife of the blade wolf ring, threw it in front of the chief, and shouted to the four people: "You and others are not vigilant, and they should all be punished heavily, but Nianer and others have followed the old general for many years, and executed the four of you, I am afraid it will chill everyone's hearts, old knife, you are the chief on duty, you ....... Kill yourself. ”
"He Tou ......" At this time, even the surrounding Yebei soldiers also knelt down in unison.
Xiao Wolf also said urgently: "Uncle He, we have gone deep into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians, and many brothers have died, and the great enemy is right in front of us. The barbarian's movement this time is strange, as if a divine soldier descended from the sky, in my opinion, I can't blame this brother entirely, it's better to let him be guilty-"
Before he finished speaking, the black-faced and long-bearded Shi Chang actually smiled slightly, suddenly picked up the blade wolf ring knife on the ground, and said loudly: "Thank you brothers and Commander Xiao for interceding for me, but my sword is fierce, but I am not a bad seed, I made a mistake, causing all the brothers to fall into a siege, and I will give everyone an explanation!" ”
He paused, turned to He Ruoyi, and clenched his fists, "He Tou, after I go, I hope to take care of the old mother, wife and children at home." ”
He Ruoyi's heart ached, he turned his head, didn't dare to look at him, and waved his hand: "Don't worry, you are still counted as a sacrificial soldier after your death, and the court will take care of your orphans." You, go for yourself! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of sand wind rolled in, and the sand and dust knocked everyone's skin painful.
Yang Tingfeng was woken up by the pain again, and wanted to open his mouth to plead, but unfortunately his throat was dry and weak, he couldn't make a sound, and he struggled to get up, but he was unable to fall down after all. I had to look at Dao Lie like a sculpture, and my eyes turned red in an instant.
When Dao Lie heard this, he was overjoyed, and after bidding farewell to everyone, he walked into the sand wind alone, stood beside Yang Tingfeng, and roared loudly: "In the next life, I will be brothers with you again, everyone, I will go first!" After speaking, he roared, his muscles burst out, and he slashed his neck with a backhand, Yang Tingfeng was stunned, and immediately tried to get up again to stop it.
Unexpectedly, a sand wind that was even more violent than Fang just now blew in, and even his vision was blurred, and Yang Tingfeng only felt a puff of warm blood spilled on his body, accompanied by a head rolling down from the wind, blown far away by the wind, and gurgling and rolling.
At this time, he was full of blood and blood, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he stood up with a "Teng" sound......
