Chapter 23: Qu Mo Qu Yin
Early the next morning, Chen Zhang urgently notified all departments in the battalion that an urgent order came from the Zhiyun Pass at night and needed reinforcements.
Originally, he said that he would rest for a day before leaving, but he could only temporarily make arrangements in the battalion and pick out a reinforced team to act immediately.
Chen Zhang led people to Zeyun Pass and just settled, and learned that about an hour ago, King Gu Fei personally led his troops to the gate of Zeyun Pass, shouting and harassing them, they did not intend to storm Zeyun Pass, the intention was only to humiliate and insult the garrison army. Hearing that the Lonely King was very domineering, Xiang Ju'an was furious, but he had to be cautious.
It was time for lunch, Xiang Ju'an was full of anger, and he didn't move a few bites of the side dishes in front of him, he only grabbed a white steamed bun and took a bite, chewing vigorously full of venting.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work!" He didn't care that there were other middle and high-ranking generals sitting under the seat, completely ignoring anyone's face, and scolded with his head and face: "It's all waste, every wine bag and rice bag, just a little lonely king, can even let him run to the door to spread wild!" ”
Chen Zhang looked at the people under the seat, none of them dared to sit calmly, all of them were red-faced, and they all lowered their heads to listen to Xiang Ju'an's venting.
He tried to ease the tense atmosphere, and said softly: "General, this time it is really the sudden arrival of the Lonely King, no one expected that he would be able to break through the layers of defensive forces set up by our army in front of Zeyun Pass in a very short time. ”
Xiang Ju'an really didn't want to take another bite, threw the leftover half of the steamed bun in his hand on the table, and said, "The new leader over there who has only been in office for a short time, named Qu Mo, is just a few years younger, and he dares to be so wild and arrogant?" He didn't inquire about how he was beaten and retreated by General Ben when he was in power?! ”
The more Xiang Ju'an spoke, the more angry he became, and said: "He is smart, he doesn't have the courage to come to fight with this general, but he dares to come to the city gate downstairs to mock a few mouths?" ”
"You are angry." Chen Zhang soothed: "Since the defensive camps set up by our army outside the pass have been broken through, we must send troops to strengthen the defense in time, and the lonely army is forced to the gate of Zeyun Pass, such a dangerous thing must not happen again!" ”
"Yes, General, no matter how the scene is, you can't be at the gate of the city tower!" The generals who were defeated outside the pass finally dared to say a word to Chen Zhang.
is obviously a sincere suggestion, but in Xiang Ju'an's opinion, it is to add another handful of firewood to the anger that was already burning in his heart.
Xiang Ju'an instantly became angry and said, "You still know! Now that you know, you can still let Qu Mo in and spit on my face? ”
The teacup on the table was grabbed by him and thrown to the center of the main hall, and the sound of the teacup breaking made everyone shudder and look at each other.
"It's all rubbish! After General Zhou is gone, you are all rubbish! Something that can't be reused. ”
In the past, Chen Zhang was not unaware of Xiang Ju'an's anger, he was resolute and resolute, and it was common for him to be criticized for everything that was slightly inconsiderate in the army.
But this time, his anger made Chen Zhang feel very abnormal.
Xiang Ju'an mentioned a person who hadn't been mentioned for a long time - General Zhou Yingchun Zhou.
Zhou Yingchun had the same rank and level as Chen Zhang during his lifetime, and was both Xiang Ju'an's deputy general, and was extremely reused by Xiang Ju'an.
"You are my right and left hands."
Chen Zhang remembered that when Xiang Ju'an was just in time, he was full of spirit on the battlefield, and General Zhou Yingchun accompanied him in every big and small battle. In the army, he had Chen Zhang to discuss the decision-making, and he had Zhou Yingchun to share the front-line military dispatch.
The required military strength is divided into two divisions for defense, and he is also very relieved to hand over Zhou Yingchun to take charge of the other half of the army.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, General Zhou died young and died on the battlefield, and since then, Ju'an's temperament has become even more moody, even though his requirements for some of his generals have been almost harsh to the point of being unkind, but it is still difficult for everyone to satisfy him.
He is the proud king of this land.
Since ancient times, there have been many lonely heroes.
After General Zhou's death, the battlefield at the border pass made Xiang Ju'an feel lonely.
The person who could gallop with him and fight bravely is gone.
Chen Zhang guessed that it must be that today's general was ridiculed by the lonely king Qu Mo, which made him lose face, and he remembered the long gone General Zhou, and then turned his anger on these defeated generals.
"General, why don't you let those who come out of the family camp try?" Chen Zhang thought for a moment and recommended those newcomers to Xiang Ju'an. "The blue-shaped ones have already been to the dry sand canal with me, and during this time, they suddenly encountered and fought with the Lone Army, and their achievements are really eye-catching."
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiang Ju'an's eyes, who was in a state of boredom: "Is that Nanqin little girl?" And Jiang Qing's younger brother? ”
Chen Zhang said: "Yes, in my opinion, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, why don't you let them try?" ”
Xiang Ju'an seemed to have seriously considered this suggestion, and said: "It's not a way, if you are stationed in front of the defense, someone must go." ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it." Chen Zhang saw that Xiang Ju'an's expression had eased, so he retreated with confidence.
Regarding the deployment of troops for this defense, Chen Zhang still mainly divided the people arranged into the first team and the second team.
The first team took Guan Jiyu and Helan Yan as the vanguard of the formation, leading the melee soldiers who specialize in assassination and struggling as the first line of defense.
The second team, led by Jiang Yingnian and Qi Yu of the Northern Qi Battalion, led the crossbowmen behind the vanguard army, and found the right time to join the battle after the war drums were beating.
In the past few months, Xueyun Pass has only faced some serious harassment from foreign enemies, and no one would have thought that Qu Mo, the king of Lonely Clouds, would suddenly personally lead his troops over, and break through several defensive lines one after another and go straight to the main city of Zeyun Pass.
Qu Mo's appearance is more like a warning, he is reminding Xiang Ju'an's army, he can come if he wants to come, and leave when he wants, who can bear him?
All the tribes in the land are good at horsemanship, and their riding and archery and fighting abilities are well-known.
When Qu Mo, the king of solitude, led his troops to declare war in front of the battle again, he saw the unfamiliar faces of the two vanguards, especially when he saw Guan Jiyu, he jokingly said: "Is General Xiang really unavailable, how can you call a woman to be the general of the vanguard army?" ”
Guan Jiyu looked directly in the direction of Qu Mo, and saw that there was also a female general sitting on a horse beside him, this woman's black hair was braided into countless thin braids, which were decorated with silver wire ropes interspersed and intersected, and her face was very characteristic of a lonely person, with deep big eyes and a high nose bridge, which was extremely gorgeous.
She held the silver whip in her hand, and looked at the two vanguard officers in front of the formation with blazing eyes.
So Guan Jiyu responded steadily: "Isn't there a woman next to you?" Why did the lonely king come out to fight, and he also brought his beloved wife over to supervise the war together? ”
Guan Jiyu's face was expressionless when he said this, but he was full of the intention of fighting back. Qu Mo was obviously stunned at first, and then let out a wild laugh, and said, "The female general really can't afford to lose a little. ”
Although Qu Mo was in the mood to joke, the woman beside him looked displeased, shook the long whip in his hand, and said loudly to Guan Jiyu: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Listen, I'm the lonely little princess! ”
Qu Yin's tone and demeanor were almost similar to her brother's, and she was somewhat proud, as if she didn't pay attention to everything in front of her.
She continued to demonstrate: "Although it is the first time I have come to Zeyunguan, I have long heard of General Xiang's demeanor, and everyone in my lonely country admires him. Yesterday, my brother said that he had gone downstairs to the city of Zeyun Pass and had seen General Xiang himself. Qu Yin stroked the pigtails on his chest, and said coquettishly: "I hear that my heart is itchy, so I also want to go downstairs in Zhiyun Guancheng, so that I can also see with my own eyes where General Xiang is sacred!" ”
Qu Yin's words clearly did not take the defending army in front of him in his eyes.
Helan Yan squinted her eyes and said, "Little girl, General Xiang's face is not something you can see if you want to see it." ”
"Really?" Qu Yin tilted his head and said confidently: "Whether you can see it or not, naturally the guy in your hand has the final say." ”
With that, the whip in her hand shook fiercely, and the whip was the first to sound loudly for the battle.
Qu Mo held a fine iron heavy sword, short and sharp, and he and his sister Qu Yin's long whip was soft and rigid, rigid and soft, and played an extremely ingenious two-man cooperation tactic.
Guan Jiyu is not afraid of this pair of unkind brothers and sisters, although she has never had any experience in cooperating with Helan Que, but after all, she has fought with Helan Que twice, and she knows his strength very well, which makes her feel some confidence in her heart at this time.
The teams on both sides stood still for the time being, as if the generals of their respective sides were fighting each other, which was the most flavorful appetizer.
If the main general of which side loses, the whole team behind him will be deflated, which is a psychological duel.
Qu Mo Qu Yin rode his horse to attack, and Guan Jiyu and Helan Yan did not hesitate to ride forward without the slightest hesitation. The person who was faster than him with the scimitar in Helan Yan's hand spun out in the air and flew towards the two brothers and sisters opposite, and the two people who were still driving together were instantly forced to separate, Guan Jiyu waved the red tassel spear in his hand and attacked Qu Mo, the action was fast and ruthless, Qu Mo couldn't help but lean back and bend down to avoid her attack.
Although he was stabbed back by Guan Jiyu's shot, Qu Mo did not hurry to pull the reins and rode around the field for a small half circle, finding a suitable position to cut in again.
Qu Mo's kung fu is far higher than the level of the opponents Guan Jiyu encountered in the family camp competition, not only Guan Jiyu, Helan Yan also quickly discovered the strength of Qu Mo's kung fu, he used his sister Qu Yin's long whip as protection, wantonly attacked, Qu Yin was responsible for observing whether anyone intended to attack her brother, she was far away free to whip to block.
There were several times when the spear in Guan Jiyu's hand could obviously stab Qu Mo, but at the moment when he was about to hit him, he was hit by Qu Yin's whip.
"It's really accurate......," Guan Jiyu covered his big arm that had been whipped several times because he couldn't dodge, and muttered with a frown.
Helan Yan saw this drawback, so he whispered behind Guan Jiyu when he jumped to the position: "Change the target, you attack Qu Yin!" ”
Guan Jiyu shook his head and said, "It's useless, Qu Yin's reaction speed is too fast, she will still pay attention to your movements when you change it." ”
Qu Yin doesn't try her best to fight people, she is mainly responsible for holding one person down, while her eyes are always on the other. If she saw that her brother was in danger, she could almost not hesitate to attack another opponent on the field, and the whip was extremely accurate.
Guan Jiyu didn't think about intervening in the position of the two brothers and sisters, separating them and widening the distance between them.
But they will soon approach each other tacitly, and repeat the same trick.
Helan Yan threw the scimitar in his hand at Qu Yin again, and the force was quite heavy, causing Qu Yin to take a few steps back.
He took the swirling knife and said in a flirtatious tone: "It's too disgraceful to beat a woman, wait until I beat you to tears, your brother should be distressed." I'm not going to fight with you, substitution! ”
