Chapter 571: Things Are Wrong
In the field in front of the deer hunting ridge, although the sun has already climbed into the sky, there is still a thin fog lingering in the field, and from time to time a few deer appear and disappear in the fog, and there is a sound of yo yo.
The earth trembled suddenly, and a deafening sound of horses' hooves struck the mist from far and near, and ran in all directions like fireflies.
From afar, a large number of people and horses rushed in, bright flags fluttering in the wind, bright armor shimmering with dazzling luster, and dust and smoke billowed everywhere they went, like the tide of the sea.
The coalition forces finally arrived, and they were supposed to pursue quickly after capturing the city, not giving the opponent a chance to buffer. But the damned Wu Gan used such a trick to make the top brass of the coalition almost annihilated. As a last resort, the coalition forces waited for so many days.
Lu Lie sat on the horse, looking at the Jizi banner in the distance, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous in his heart, as if he was dreaming. I really met the Ji family who was high up on weekdays here. I don't know if after this war, it will be the fall of the family, or the change of the Ji family.
A carriage followed from behind, and the curtain was lifted, revealing Gu Yangsi's pale face. He was also poisoned, but compared to others who recovered quickly, Gu Yangsi has been in a state of low spirits these days, and occasionally passes out in a coma.
Looking at the winding and undulating camp on the opposite side, Gu Yangsi sighed, "We're still late, the other party has already arranged complete fortifications, and it's not easy to fight now."
Bu Kuan urged the horse to come over, "In the past few days, Erlang has tried to reconnoiter around the rear several times, but he has been stopped by the enemy. But fortunately, we still hid a few birds, but we also looked at them.
The Ji family and horses were defending the mountain this time, and judging from the banner men and horses, the right flank and the middle army were both southern armies, and the left flank was the northern army that had retreated here. However, the northern army is very well defended, with many fortresses everywhere and dark passages, which is really difficult to fight.
On the contrary, the Southern Army is negligent in its fortifications, and the front is wide, so it is easy to break through, regardless of the large number of people."
Several people present nodded when they heard this, and Wu Yan made everyone suffer a lot in the battle of Yuanli City. Later, when the earthen walls were dug up, the dense dark passages below made people's scalps tingle.
Therefore, several people subconsciously avoided the direction of Wu Gan, thinking about it, they also knew that in these days, the other party must not make their camp like an iron bucket.
Just as he was sighing, there were hundreds of people running down from the ridge on the opposite side, looking from afar, it was the second young master Ji Ye who was the leader, followed by Ji Jing and Wu Yan on both sides.
In all fairness, several young masters present are mostly familiar with Ji Ye, such as Gu Yangsi and others have a very good personal relationship, this is not a deliberate operation, but it is actually a few young people who have a similar smell, so they have more contacts.
Now that several people are in two camps, seeing that there is about to be a life-and-death fight, it is inevitable that there are some things and people who can't bear to remember the taste of the past.
Ji Ye stopped when he was a thousand steps away from the other party, Lu Lie and others brought hundreds of his subordinates to meet them, and the two groups of people stood opposite each other, not knowing what to say.
"Second young master, don't come unharmed." It was Lu Lie who spoke first and arched his hand at the opposite side.
"Brother Lu is still in style, and he is here today with his troops, is it difficult to succeed if he wants to rely on these rabble to pull my Ji family off the horse." Ji Ye's face was cold, and he pointed at the other party with a horsewhip.
"Ji Ye, now that you're in such a situation, why are you still putting up these shelves. My six allied forces are strong and strong, and they are like tigers, so how can they not succeed. However, the Ji family acted against the sky and deserved to die if they committed public anger. That's it, for the sake of the faces of the acquaintances in the past, let's leave a reflection of each other, why be aggressive." Lu Lie was quite impatient, now that he had torn his face, why bother.
Ji Ye was just about to speak, but Gu Yangsi preemptively said, "Second Young Master, you and I have known each other for a long time, but today we met here, which is really a bit sad and sad. After this battle, either you die or I die, before the war, let me ask again, does the Ji family really want to implement the reform with iron heart."
Ji Ye hesitated for a moment, but still bowed slightly.
"That's it, let's fight, you and I are both young heads of the family, and we can't help ourselves, I just hope that after this battle, the surviving people can sprinkle wine and sacrifice in front of the grave of their old friends to comfort their bowels." Gu Yangsi's expression was gloomy, and he barely supported himself and arched his hand at Ji Ye, "You and I are a gentleman's friend, today's battle, it is better to have a dignified battle, just here to catch the deer ridge."
Fight in a battle, win the king and defeat the king, how about a showdown."
Himeya bowed her head and groaned, as if she was moving. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Yan had already shouted from the side, "Old Gu, you are very good at this abacus, so that our army can give up the field battle in the fortified village, it is not that you can do such a stupid thing by being kicked by a donkey.
It's useless to say less, if you have the ability, you will rush to this deer hunting ridge, and if you can't rush up, you will wait to starve to death. I think the Chullin family will soon get the news here."
Ji Ye woke up suddenly, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he almost moved himself with this Gu Yang's thoughtful words. If you really promise the other party to fight in front of the ridge, then you are really a stupid donkey.
"Brother Gu, today is all for their respective families, each with his own ability, I am waiting for you to come on the Deer Hunting Ridge." After Ji Ye finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Jing and Wu Gan, and prepared to turn around and return.
Gu Yangsi was not half annoyed by Wu Gan exposing his thoughts, "Wu Gan, in the last battle of Qianli City, I am afraid that most of your men have already been killed and wounded, and under the rush of the army, can you still stop it." You are different from Ji Ye, it is better to descend earlier, and you can still ask for a rich body."
Wu Gen laughed, "Old Gu, is it interesting, if you surrender me, I promise to spare your life, not to mention how powerful you are, it's okay to be a rich man." As for whether I can stop it, to tell you the truth, I can't stop it, so please come and hit me."
After speaking, Wu Yan and Ji Ye walked away and returned to their camp.
Looking at the backs of Ji Ye and the others, Lu Lie said angrily, "Brother Gu, I get angry when I see Wu Gan's appearance, should we try to kill the left wing of the Ji family to test the other party's hypocrisy."
Gu Yangsi coughed, frowned, and said, "No need, Wu Gan is definitely not easy to fight there, we don't have to focus on him." Let's camp first, there is no need to be so hasty, just wait until tomorrow when you have rested before attacking. When the enemy is concentrated on the opposite side, we will use our means to defeat the enemy with one blow."
Not to mention that Lu Lie and the others camped on the spot, Wu Gen and Ji Ye returned to the camp of the Deboning Mountain. As soon as he entered the camp, Ji Ye asked, "But there is news from Brother Congyue."
"Yes, just before leaving the camp, I received a letter from the Falcon and burned down many of the enemy's granaries in a row from the month, and beheaded Qiu Lin's family to Fu Qiu Lin Zhi." Wu Yan smiled and said, "In this way, the back road of the coalition army will be tight, they will definitely attack Capture Luling as soon as possible in order to have a long night and dreams, and our army will be ready to fight in the past two days."
"Great, I knew that Congyue would definitely not let me down, and now the six families are going to be a strong general, and this battle is getting more and more advantageous to me." Ji Ye looked excited, clapped his hands and laughed.
Wu Yan was a little worried, "If the enemy wants to win quickly, he will definitely go all out, there may be no temptation or stalemate in this battle, what I am worried about is whether our army can withstand the first wave."
"I think I am a little weak in the field, but if it is just a block, I think our army should have a good chance of victory." Infected by Ji Ye's mood, Ji Jing is also a lot more optimistic.
"I hope so." Wu Gan's face was a little gloomy.
The next day, the battle was announced by the whistling of stone carts, and the coalition forces lined up four hundred stone carts in front of the camp of the Northern and Southern armies, constantly throwing boulders towards the ridge. For a time, dust and smoke rose on the deer hunting ridge, and people shouted and neighed.
At the same time, the Southern Army also counterattacked with flying stone vehicles. After seeing the power of the flying stone cart in the city of Huli, Ji Jing vigorously built it after he returned, but he fought with the coalition forces vigorously, and he was on an equal footing.
Wu Yan squatted behind the stone wall, watching the two sides come and go, constantly bombarding each other. Strangely, there were very few stones that fell on his side, so Wu Gan stopped the idea of his subordinates fighting back and waited for the coalition to attack.
In the coalition army, facing the northern army is the people of the Qiu Lin family and the Gu family, although they are not like the Cang family with arrows like rain, but the Flying Tiger Army comes and goes like the wind, in fact, it is not easy to fight. And those cavalry of the ancient family have a lot of strange methods, and they are also a hard bone that is not easy to gnaw.
After half an hour of flying stone carts bombarded each other, the losses on both sides were actually not much. On the side of the coalition forces, the flying stone car was damaged by 30%. However, the front-line fortifications on the side of the Southern Army were very badly damaged, especially those isolated hills, which were full of rubble.
The shouts of killing sounded all over the mountains, and the coalition forces immediately launched after the flying stone vehicles bombarded each other
Charge on all fronts and rush towards the huge figure-of-eight camp.
Most of the hills in Luling are not high, like steamed buns standing on the ground. This time, Ji Ye Lizhai is based on these isolated hills as pillars and Dazhai as a chain to form a multi-belt defense system.
The coalition forces poured in like a torrent, except for some men and horses who stopped beside these hills, and more roared up, heading straight for the main villages. It can be seen that the coalition forces are in a hurry, so anxious that they want to destroy the camps in one fell swoop.
The arrows flew around like locusts, and the constantly jumping armor reflected the sunlight, and from the air, the Luling was like a large lake, with countless fish jumping, sparkling, and shining with ten thousand scales.
The men and horses of the coalition families were mixed together, either on horseback or on foot with shields, tearing and filling the traps, fences, and arrow towers in front of the camp in order to open the passage of the camp.
The men and horses of the Ji family were dead in the village, with the help of geographical advantages and fortifications, to block the opponent's attack layer by layer, and after a while, two mountains were taken.
The battle seemed dull and anxious, and as time passed, there was no intestinal backdrop of a hundred battles, no heroism in the drunken field, and only instinctive killing was left on both sides.
The battle quickly expanded to all the camps of the Southern Army, and thick smoke billowed everywhere, and these rockets of the Gu family continued to ignite the remaining grass and trees on the ridge, making the entire battlefield even darker.
It can be seen that there are these people from the Gu family in various places, and they seem to be scattered by the crowded crowd to fill the various battlefields, rather than being relatively independent as in front of the city, which shows that the command of the coalition forces today is indeed a little disordered.
Wu Jian hid behind his wall, and Hu Jia silently observed the movements of the coalition army, compared to the southern army, the offensive of the northern army here was much weaker. It's not that they are not weak, there are many fortifications here, and as soon as they entered, they were shot by spears and arrows that appeared out of nowhere, so the coalition forces subconsciously stayed away from this strange camp.
"The coalition forces didn't fight well today, why is it so messy, is it Niu Chao's poisonous needle that killed the backbone generals of the people. If we continue to fight like this, we may end up in a bad battle today." Hu Jia pouted his buttocks, looked out through the arrow hole, and sighed again and again.
Wu Gen frowned and looked at the battle in the distance, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, strange, this battle was really strange. Hu Jia's speculation is not unreasonable, so many men and horses, the real command is not by those few young masters and pacification, but by those hundreds of households, they are the foundation of the smooth operation of the entire coalition army, how can the poisonous needle kill so many people.
"Sure enough, the coalition forces have withdrawn, and they will definitely have to regroup." Hu Jia shook his head, and a horn sounded in the distance, which was the signal for the withdrawal of troops.
"It's not good, Ji Jing has to fight back." Wu Yan stood up suddenly.
"It's normal to counterattack, the enemy's army is in disarray, and it's not normal not to take the opportunity to kill one." Hu Jia was a little puzzled.
Wu Yan didn't say anything, his face was gloomy like water, and he held the handle of the broken knife tightly.
