Chapter 50: Four Strange Beasts
The Fire-Eyed Beast had eaten a lot of things and gained a lot of weight during this time, but its speed and endurance had not decreased much, and it soon carried Qiao Kun to the east gate.
Fortunately, Bukit called him to go with him, and he did not delay the hour. Although Qiao Kun was originally in charge of hundreds of workers in the army, if he was not a general, he would not delay the military plane if he was late, but it was not good.
The generals were on the city wall of the east gate, and Qiao Kun also followed on the city wall.
But he saw that Zhang Guifang's army had already camped not far from the east gate, and Zhang Guifang was running to the people with full makeup and armor, riding a horse and shouting under the city, and asked Jiang Ziya to answer.
Jiang Ziya and the generals said, "Zhang Guifang is here, and he must ask for reinforcements in the camp, so everyone must be careful." ”
"No!" The people will be commanded. But there are still many generals who disagree.
Jiang Ziya ordered: "Put a five-party team out of the city." ”
Then a soldier handed over the mask to the generals. Qiao Kun also divided one.
The generals of each department wore masks and rode war horses to command the troops.
Qiao Kun looked at the mask in his hand and said in his heart, this is also a method. Thinking that through that night attack, Uncle Jiang also discovered the defect of Zhang Guifang's name and fall, so he used a mask to cover it, so that Zhang Guifang could not distinguish it.
Although it can't completely hide the identity, it does have some effect, and there are always more ways than difficulties.
Qiao Kun has "easy to return to Tibet", and is not afraid of "calling for fame and falling off the horse", but he is unwilling to be maverick, so he also wears a mask and rides a fire-eyed golden-eyed beast to follow and guard Jiang Ziya.
After a while, the gates of the city were opened, and the army rushed out, spreading out the ranks outside the city, and everything was in order.
Zhang Guifang took the lead in the front of the battle, with silver armor and white robes and silver horses, very handsome.
Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "The general of the defeated army, what is the face of this?" ”
"I don't know who doesn't dare to show their faces?" Zhang Guifang actually complained, "Victory and defeat are commonplace, why am I ashamed?" ”
This is said to be very level, victory or defeat is a common thing in the military, and the glass heart who leads the troops to fight has basically failed, and he can't afford to lose a game, and he can't be a general.
Who in the world can survive a hundred battles?
Huang Feihu claimed to be invincible in the world before, and hasn't he lost many battles recently? I didn't see him thinking about life.
Zhang Guifang said with a smile: "Prime Minister Jiang, what if we fight again?" ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, but more than a thousand soldiers walked forward, obviously to repeat the story of the first scene, and there was another battle.
The generals next to him all asked for battle, but Jiang Ziya was a little hesitant when he heard this, and did not agree, but said, "Zhang Guifang is afraid that there are other means, so don't be careless." ”
Zhang Guifang was obviously inferior to Jiang Ziya in the last battle formation, and he was going to fight again, of course, there was a conspiracy.
After speaking, he heard the drums of Zhang Guifang's military camp, and where the flags were opened, four strange beasts came out, one looked like a leopard, one looked like a tiger, one looked like a lion, and one looked like a gorilla with a tail.
These four strange beasts are tall and hideous, with teeth and claws, with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Qiao Kun had already received information from the prison cow, and naturally knew that these four strange beasts were the fox, the fox, the spotted leopard, and the hideous, and he wanted to save the foxy and the foxy was among them.
On top of the four beasts sat four Taoists.
Qiao Kun hadn't taken a closer look at the appearance of the four Taoists, but the war horses on Xiqi's side were neighing, and they fell to the ground one after another, and the generals and thousands of cavalry all fell off their horses, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Even the good horse under Jiang Ziya's seat couldn't help but fall, and it was also a loss that Qiao Kun's eyes were quick and he reached out to pull Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya immediately borrowed his strength and jumped onto the fiery golden-eyed beast.
Qiao Kun jumped down from the fiery golden-eyed beast and guarded it.
But when he saw that the horses around him were all weak and weak, they trembled and could not stand.
And because at this time, the generals all wore masks and relied on the battle flag to identify their identities, and the flag-carrying soldiers also fell off their horses, and their subordinates did not know which general was who.
In order to prevent Zhang Guifang's "name and fall off the horse", Huang Feihu also wore a mask, did not ride a five-colored sacred cow, but only rode a yellow and brown horse, which was naturally also a trick.
All the cavalry he was in charge of were on the ground at the moment, and it was too difficult to maintain discipline.
"Charge!" Zhang Guifang seized this opportunity and ordered the cavalry to charge, but the cavalry on their side was not affected.
"Senior nephew, shake the red flag quickly!" Jiang Ziya commanded.
Qiao Kun gave the order, did not dare to slack off, grabbed the red flag at the moment, jumped in the air, and shook the red flag in different directions according to Jiang Ziya's instructions.
"Drum in the rear!" At the moment, I heard the drum beat in the rear.
The shield pikemen stepped forward and waited, and the archers in the rear fired arrows. Drumming from the rear barely held the scene along.
Qiao Kun saw Zhang Guifang rushing towards him, and immediately urged the soul killing banner in the "Yi Tu Gui Zang", and several black gases dozens of zhang long appeared, rushing directly at Zhang Guifang.
But a few feet away from Zhang Guifang, there was a transparent protective shield or something, completely isolating the black gas.
Is it bloody or humane luck? Qiao Kun didn't have time to think deeply, but seeing that Zhang Guifang was only a few dozen feet away from Jiang Ziya, Zhang Guifang had already opened his mouth at this time, as if he wanted to say something.
Qiao Kun took the lead at the moment, "Zhang Guifang hasn't dismounted yet, when will he stay?" ”
This trick used the "Heavenly Demon Soul Shocking Sound" that was suppressed in the "Yi Tu Gui Zang", this spell was issued, and it also had some effect, seeing that Zhang Guifang was in a trance, he was about to fall off the horse, but he quickly sobered up and did not fall.
"It's a pity!" Qiao Kun said in his heart, Zhang Guifang has the humane luck of the big businessman, and the power of this "Heavenly Demon Soul Shock" is a little insufficient, which only makes Zhang Guifang's spirit suddenly instantaneous, and he can't be dismissed.
If Zhang Guifang fell off his horse and was trampled by the rear cavalry, he would not be killed.
Although Zhang Guifang did not fall off the horse, he no longer rushed into the formation, changed the direction, and returned to the formation in a circle.
Obviously, seeing that there are no obvious flaws on the Xiqi side, he is unwilling to fight, and it may also be a means to suspect Qiao Kun's "name and fall".
In fact, Qiao Kun was very distressed, he hadn't studied the spell rune of "Heavenly Demon Soul Shocking Sound" yet, and if he used one, he would have one less.
At this time, all the generals in Xiqi had already gotten up from the ground, sorted out their armor, some of the generals wore masks, some did not wear, I think it was because they were not riding horses now, and they were not afraid of "calling their names and falling off the horse".
Soon the Xiqi formation was stabilized, but thousands of cavalry could only be used as infantry.
When the four Taoists saw Xiqi's busy scene, they all laughed and shouted, "Don't panic! Take your time! ”
At this time, Qiao Kun carefully looked at the four Taoists.
All four of them were five or six feet tall, and their faces were blue, white, red, and black, all of which were ferocious.
Jiang Ziya joked on the fire-eyed golden-eyed beast: "Four Dao brothers, which famous mountain?" Where is Dongfu? What do you have to say now? ”
The Taoist who rode the fierce dragon wore a water suit, his face was like a full moon, and stepped forward to salute back, "Jiang Ziya, I am the King Demon of the Qi Refiner of Jiulong Island." ”
Then he introduced to those Taoist friends, the Taoist who rode the fierce Taoist face was like the bottom of the pot, the beard was like cinnabar, and the two yellow eyebrows were named Yang Sen.
The Taoist who rides the spotted leopard, pulls his lonely hair, wears a big red suit, his face is like blue indigo, his hair is like cinnabar, and his upper and lower fangs are named Gao Youqian.
The last one wore a fishtail golden crown, his face was like a heavy jujube, and he had a long beard, looking at a Taoist named Li Xingba, who was similar to Guan Gong, and rode hideously.
Qiao Kunxin said, sure enough, it's them, how can they take action to save the fox and the fox?
Wang Mo seemed to be the leader of the four, but he negotiated with Jiang Ziya, "You and I are both Daomen, and we are not embarrassed by you." It's just because Wen Taishi recruited each other, and he came here specially to help Zhang Guifang, and he didn't have any other intentions, I don't know if you can rely on the three things of the poor road? ”
Jiang Ziya was silent for a while, and then said, "Please also ask Brother Dao to command." ”
Wang Mo lowered his head when he heard Jiang Ziya, laughed, and seemed to be very proud, "The first thing is to ask King Wu to be a minister." ”
Jiang Ziya said: "Brother Dao! My lord Gongwu Wang is a merchant minister, how can he be called a minister? Please say the next one. ”
"The second piece was opened in the treasury and rewarded the three armies. The third piece was to send Huang Feihu out of the city and return to the court song with Zhang Guifang. What do you think? ”
Can you still promise this? Qiao Kun didn't believe it.
But listening to Jiang Ziya: "Brother Dao's instructions, I understand very well, let me wait to return to the city to prepare, make a table in three days, dare to bother Brother Dao to bring back the song to thank you, and there is no other discussion." ”
Wang Mo nodded, very satisfied, "That's very good, then please!" With that, he urged the beast back to the camp.
The four strange beasts left, and the war horses on Xiqi's side were able to stand up, and the two sides stopped, and Jiang Ziya commanded the army to carefully withdraw to the city and close the city gate.
Wait for all the soldiers to enter the big tent, ascend to the palace and sit down. Huang Feihu knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Please send my father and son to Gui Fang's camp to avoid the burden of King Wu." ”
Jiang Ziya hurriedly helped him up, "General Huang, there are only three things, and it's just an expedient measure." These four monsters can deter the war horses, and the generals have not frozen, and their spirit has been frustrated, so they will plan the opportunity and enter the city to make plans again. ”
Huang Feihu thanked Jiang Ziya.
In fact, Qiao Kun had already seen that Jiang Ziya was using the "drag" trick, and he didn't believe that Huang Feihu couldn't see it. But this is Huang Feihu's way to protect himself, and he is not easy to debunk.
Jiang Ziya said again: "I have a lot of soldiers in Xiqi, if I don't go out of the city, just defending, I can hold on for a long time." It's just that the people can't help but be frightened, if Zhang Guifang attacks other places, my Xiqi will be a lonely city. ”
All the generals said yes, and most of them were depressed, without the spirit of just leaving the city, and they were full of ambition.
Qiao Kun couldn't help frowning, generals like Huang Feihu and Zhang Guifang, who are not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat, are the true colors of generals.
In contrast, the local generals of Xiqi, except for Nangong Shi, Tai Dian, Shu Xia and others, are a little inadequate.
He somewhat understood why Ji Chang didn't rebel that day, just relying on these guys, he couldn't win against Chaoge's troops.
Nangong Shi asked on the side: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, but I don't know what to do with it?" ”
Jiang Ziya said: "If you continue to defend the city, I will go to Kunlun Mountain." "This is going to Kunlun Mountain to move rescue soldiers.
Hearing that everyone had no idea, Qiao Kun couldn't help but reply: "If you fight again, I won't need a war horse." ”
All the generals were silent, and an unknown general stepped forward, the man was the general who had been ridiculed by everyone for proposing not to fight with a war horse, and his tone was a little proud, "General Qiao, you have to know the cavalry ......"
Qiao Kun knew what he was going to say, so he interrupted him and said, "I know that cavalry is the key to breaking the formation. But if I don't ride a horse, I can't fight? ”
"It's hard." It was Nangong Shi who answered Qiao Kun, "I don't know what method Gongzi has?" ”
Huang Feihu next to him was contemplative, but did not speak.
Qiao Kun no longer procrastinated, and now explained all the methods he knew, "We can dig some traps, make some iron thistles, and prepare some spears......"
