Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Wolves
"Captain!" Several people's faces turned red.
Yang Zheng grinned with the Hua Collar Sword in his hand, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and his eyes were full of murderous anger, "Could it be that you still have objections?" ”
To be merciful when you should not be merciful is to be cruel to yourself.
War has always been about everything.
Even if a few people had objections, they could only swallow them back in their stomachs now, and there were still old guards of the Wuwei Battalion who brought them to Yang Zheng's side.
"As long as you survive today, you will be my Yang Zheng's brother of life and death in the future!" Yang Zheng yelled at the Qiang people.
Since the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people have been discriminated against and oppressed by the Central Plains Dynasty, but anyone who treats the Qiang people a little bit is also supported by the Qiang people.
Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Dong Zhuo......
And there are definitely not many people who regard the Qiang people as brothers.
This era is the era of the vigorous rise of the world, they even look down on the ordinary Han people, how can they look at the people in the border land?
Yang Zheng thought that they hadn't heard clearly, and yelled again, "As long as you survive today, you will be my Yang Zheng's brother in life and death in the future!" ”
As if in an instant, the bloody nature of the Qiang people was activated, and they let out a hysterical roar: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! ”
Chief Qiang's eyes suddenly became a little complicated.
Yang Zheng couldn't care what they thought in their hearts, so he got off the horse and left Yin Chun, Zhou Fang, and Yuan Xiao as the three chiefs to cultivate horsepower as backup.
He took a hundred personal soldiers and seven Qiang chieftains to the north and went straight to the Shu army camp.
The Qiang people were extremely excited, and they let out wolf-like roars, which were transmitted in the smoke billowing, echoed in the green mountains and green waters, and gradually became agitated on the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying.
Like an ancient trumpet.
There was a touch of desolation in the sunset.
Qiang people and Han people, there is no difference in Yang Zheng's heart at this moment.
Some picked up broken spears, broken knives, and broken armor from the ground and draped them on their bodies.
War is always morale first.
No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as he dares to show his sword, he still has a chance to win.
Through the smoke, the Shu army did not know the truth and the truth.
Yang Zheng waved his army to storm the rear of the Shu army.
The bravery of the Qiang people was fully displayed, and one by one, they were like mad tigers, carrying broken spears and broken knives, and leaped into the infantry of the Shu army.
Even if you are pierced into a sieve by a spear, you must fight forward and throw out the weapon in your hand at the last moment of your life.
Yang Zheng was also infected by this heroism.
The blood boiled in my heart, and then it burned.
"Kill!" He roared, and slammed into the spear array with his Hua Collar sword, and more than 100 soldiers around him tightly supported the left and right, resisting the spear tips and blades that were stabbed by an unknown number of stabs.
It is useless to command any array, only bravery is the best command.
Only by fighting chaotically can the Qiang people's brave strengths be fully brought into play.
Everywhere the sword light passed, everything was slashed.
At this time, Yang Zheng forgot himself, was not self, and had no self, and had completely integrated into this killing.
All the swordsmanship instincts hidden in the body were released.
Come like thunder to collect anger, like the river and the sea condense the light!
The light of blood flooded everything in front of him.
The sound of shouts, screams, and the neighing of war horses swept through my ears like a raging wind.
In the smoke and twilight, Yang Zheng couldn't see clearly ahead, and everything seemed unreal.
Only killing is the most real.
Only killing can break a way to life.
Just when Yang Zheng thought that this killing was eternal, the sound of hurried horses' hooves woke up his nightmare.
The sound of the horse's hooves seemed to crush the earth!
The elite cavalry of the Shu army was finally launched.
From north to south, it was like a bolt of lightning struck behind the Qiang people.
The wails of the Qiang people suddenly sounded one after another in the twilight.
Someone was hung on spears, others were trampled under iron hooves.
The war horses of the Shu army are high-spirited and strong, and at first glance they are excellent Liangzhou horses, and the impact created by more than 1,000 cavalry is like a torrent.
But the Qiang people were also stirred up bloody.
Some people hugged the horses' hooves, some raised their broken spears and swords, and bravely rammed into the cavalry......
Then he and Shu Qi turned into a pool of blood mist.
Yang Zheng's heart was dripping blood, and a huge sense of powerlessness spread in his chest.
No matter how many times he wielded the Hua Collar Sword, the Shu army was just like an endless kill.
"General!" The sound of horses' hooves in the rear shook loudly, and Yin Chun and Zhou Fang rushed up with the cavalry.
Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of Shu Qi.
The two sides looked at each other as if they were old enemies.
The Shu cavalry immediately divided half of the cavalry and rushed to the side.
Yang Zheng felt a chill in his heart, staying behind them, the original intention was to retain some strength, if the battlefield was really irretrievable, he could accept himself and leave.
However, the tragic battle of the Shu cavalry made them unable to hold it back.
In such a chaotic battlefield, it is not easy to clearly judge the situation.
The cavalry of both sides quickly approached.
Hit the opponent's heavy rider head-on with a light horse, and the result can be imagined.
Yang Zheng's heart rose to his throat.
However, the next change made Yang Zheng "relieved", and the cavalry suddenly turned around, crossed an arc on the battlefield, and rushed into the night and smoke in the east.
This hand is extremely beautiful, more flexible than Yang Zheng's command, like a cunning fox that looms in the night.
The Wuwei Battalion is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield battle, and Yin Chun and Zhou Fang are also people worthy of entrusting them with important tasks.
The cavalry of the Shu army was condescending, and the momentum was great, far less flexible than the light cavalry, and they could not collect their feet, so they could only go south.
Went to 500 heavy cavalry, and the situation on the battlefield changed.
The Qiang people rose up again and tried their best to slash and kill the Shu army's infantry formation.
And where the cavalry on the east side had passed, there were bursts of screams.
If during the day, it was advantageous to the well-trained Shu army, then at night, the advantage gradually shifted to the Qiang.
The wolf howls came and went, and the Qiang people did not have an array, but they retreated and advanced like wolves.
The brutal living environment has long tempered their fighting instincts.
Everyone is a good hunter.
Hunt overwhelmed prey in the dark.
At this time, the fire in the north had long been extinguished, and only the occasional dark flame "beeped" and flashed an obscure dark red, which was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
The formation of the Shu army continued to shrink, relying on each other.
The cavalry also lost its role.
Although the heavy ride is unstoppable, there are too many restrictions, physical strength, terrain, weather, day and night......
No matter how powerful Jiang Wei was, it would be impossible for him to let the heavy cavalry charge in the dark.
Learning war from war, Yang Zheng couldn't help but think of a mystery in dragon slaying in his mind.
A people and ethnic group that has survived for nearly a thousand years naturally has its own uniqueness.
Yang Zheng and his own soldiers also retreated into the night and lay on the ground.
In the darkness, the wolf howls came and went, and it was the sound of the Qiang people echoing each other.
As long as he heard the footsteps around him and there was no wolf howl, Yang Zheng suddenly burst out and entered the formation.
Such a battle, although slow, was extremely effective.
With the sound of "Peng", a flame ignited before the Shu array.
But this flame also exposed their location.
In the darkness, countless broken spears and swords flew above their heads......
The Shu army fell more than 100 people on the spot.
Then there were many people in all directions, and they attacked in groups......
That glimmer of fire vanished into the night in the blink of an eye.
Gradually, the Shu army could not hold on.
They are upright warriors, not wolves in the dark.
"All the armies assemble and go south according to the sound of drums!"
The voice of the Shu people also came from the darkness.
The sound of majestic war drums sounded, and the sound of dense footsteps followed.
The armies assembled and marched south to the sound of drums, is this about to retreat?
Yang Zheng's heart swelled with great joy.
The sound of drums and footsteps gradually drowned out the wolf howls of the Qiang people.
The dense array also made the Qiang sneak attack ineffective.
"The Shu people are defeated, and they can take advantage of the situation to chase and kill!" A few Qiang chieftains are interested again.
And during the big battle just now, Yang Zheng didn't forget that they had been hiding behind.
The only one who can really be trusted is Jiang Faye.
The only people who can be brothers in life and death are the low-level Qiang people.
The existence of these people will always be one of the factors of instability.
With them, it is impossible for the Qiang people to unite around themselves!
The turmoil of the Qiang people for hundreds of years was not provoked by careerists?
Yang Zheng couldn't control the evil thoughts in his heart, "Okay! ”
So he led the people to the south.
Seeing that they were about to approach the Shu army, several Qiang chieftains retreated to the back, Yang Zheng did not let them go this time, and said sharply: "The bloody battles of the armies, with countless casualties, you enjoy wealth and wealth on weekdays, how can you be left behind today?" ”
If it were a weekday, Yang Zheng would definitely not be able to say such a ruthless word.
But today the killing is too heavy, and the heart has become a sword.
"Why, didn't you hear Captain Pontus?" Yang Zheng sneered.
Several people looked at each other, and one said, "Is the captain going to kill them all?" ”
This man is not stupid.
At this moment, they are already fish and meat, and Yang Zheng is a knife warrior.
"No, I'm giving you a chance! Life and death brothers, how can you not see life and death? Those who advance live, those who retreat die, this is a military order! ”
Several people were shocked, but because of the influence of Yang Zheng's benevolent appearance some time ago, they all didn't believe it and didn't move.
If you give the opportunity and don't cherish it, it's no wonder you're ruthless.
In fact, as long as they pulled out their swords and stepped forward bravely, Yang Zheng would stop them.
Bloody people are not difficult to get along with.
And those who are reluctant are always a hidden danger.
You can't always let others come forward and fight hard, they will enjoy the fruits of victory in the back, right?
After waiting for a few more breaths, no one moved.
Yang Zheng's patience reached the limit, "Chop!" ”
At the sound of the order, the pro-soldiers did not hesitate. The knives slashed, and the men screamed and turned into a pile of meat puree.
There were a few more ghosts in the night.
Yang Zheng's benevolence is true, but it depends on when and who the object is.
The Shu army swarmed southward.
Yang Zheng had been fighting for almost a day, and he was already tired, and he couldn't get any benefit from chasing it again.
If the sky is bright, you can't retreat if you want to, so it's better to rest and recuperate to see what will happen later.
In fact, the retreat of the Shu army at this time is also the wisest thing to do.
Even if you survive the dawn, you are trapped with people and horses, and you have suffered heavy casualties, how can you face the encirclement and suppression of the surrounding counties?
Longyou not only has Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba, but also Deng Ai, Hu Fen, Pang Hui and a number of generals.
There are changes in Longxi, and Liangzhou in the north and Chang'an in the east will definitely not turn a blind eye.
Just like when Wuhou was in the first Northern Expedition, Zhang He's 50,000 cavalry galloped from Chang'an, broke the street pavilion, and went straight to the back of the Shu army.
Yang Zheng was sleepy, tired and tired, and fell asleep on the battlefield unconsciously.
I felt that I had just squinted, and I was woken up by the pro-soldiers, and it was already dark.
The Qiang people are fighting for what is on the battlefield.
Jiang Faye, Duan Da, Yin Chun, and Zhou Fang each stood in front of him with their subordinates.
There was a little more admiration in his eyes.
Yang Zheng, who looked at him by the Qiang people, was even more fanatical.
Yang Zheng said that he also did it.
They survived.
A general who can lead his subordinates to win the war will naturally be admired by the soldiers.
This is more effective than any means of co-optation.
"Brother!" Yang Zheng patted his chest.
No one pays any attention to the souls who died last night.
They don't matter anymore.
Only Jiang Faye thought a little, but now he is completely on Yang Zheng's side.
"Brother!" The Qiang people also patted their chests.
Just a simple action and two simple words completely won them over.
The Shu army in the south had already retreated.
Just as Yang Zheng thought, after this battle, they had no reason to stay.
And Yang Zheng's department did not have the strength to pursue.
The fire in the north was completely extinguished.
In late summer, the trees are green and cannot burn continuously.
Yang Zheng led a thousand people to search through the ashes, trying to find the bodies of Xiahouba or Guo Huai.
However, although yesterday's fire was violent, it was not as serious as Yang Zheng thought.
There are only eight or nine hundred corpses on the ground, after all, people have two legs and can run for their lives desperately.
More people were burned, moaning in the camp of Xiahou Ba in Fengzhong.
However, the casualties are already very large.
In this era, burning and killing, coupled with all kinds of inflammation and infection, can easily kill people.
Standing in front of Yang Zheng alone, half of his body was black, his beard and eyebrows had turned black, and he had several burns on his face, and even his voice was hoarse.
"General?" Yang Zheng was incredulous.
The black man laughed, "A few were killed in the fire!" Xingyun defeated Jiang Wei, a great achievement, and a certain person will definitely ask for credit for you! ”
This tone can only be Xiahou Ba.
Yang Zheng was overjoyed that he was still alive.
"General Guo......" Yang Zheng had some expectation in his heart.
If Guo Huai hangs up, he won't be so difficult.
Xiahou Ba's face was white, and there was a white one in his eyes, "Yesterday, Guo Huai only sent the front battalion to attack the Shu army camp, and he ...... There was no damage. ”
