Chapter 152: Troops are outside the battle
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the sound of an order, the bowstrings vibrated in unison, and the rain of arrows broke through the air and screamed, shooting towards the chiseled people who were like a tide more than a hundred paces away.
The rain of arrows fell, easily piercing through the rudimentary armor of the Chiseltooth people, but there were not many who died and fell to the ground, and the wounds of the Chisel Tooth people burst out of blood, but they aroused their frenzy, roaring and roaring all the way, describing the hideous killing towards the Wukui army front.
General Wei stood on the earthen platform in the rear and looked at the battlefield, and noticed that the chiseltooth people were running very fast, but the formation was gradually scattered, and motioned to the standard-bearer beside him: "Put another round of arrows, and let the second formation slowly spread out to the two wings." ”
The banner waved, the war drums beat rapidly, the horn sounded, and at the front of the front line were brave foot soldiers in iron armor, shields nearly one person high were juxtaposed like walls, and the spears of Zhangyu were erected like a forest, stabbing out in unison towards the chiseled people who were rushing wildly.
The moment the two armies came into contact, it was like a surging wave crashing into a hard rock, and for a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and blood flowers shuttled back and forth with the weapons of the two sides, splashing in all directions.
Born in the mountains and forests of Kunlun Continent, the chisel-toothed people have a strong physique, abundant muscles and muscles far better than ordinary people, the skin is gray-green, the quality is like hard leather, and it is especially in the outer pocket of the jaw, a pair of canine teeth burst out, so it is named "chisel teeth".
Most of the chiseled people were armed with broadswords and mallets, and they slashed and smashed like a life, although there was no rule, but it often took the combined efforts of three or five soldiers to kill one.
But even so, in the face of the well-armed Wu Kui army, the offensive immediately slowed down. The sword and spear talisman soldiers who have been blessed by the sacrifice and blessing, held by the outstanding martial arts chief, are ready to attack at the right time, cutting through the armor and flesh of the chiseled people like tofu.
After a moment of confrontation, the Chisel Tooth people suffered many casualties, and the offensive on the right flank of Wu Kui's army gradually increased, which in turn pushed the front back.
At this time, behind the Chisel Tooth People's Army, I suddenly saw yellow clouds rushing into the sky, swirling like a vortex, giving birth to countless crows, flying towards the Wukui Army.
"Where is Yi Jiangzi?" Seeing this, General Wei immediately asked.
I saw a figure flying up from the side of the earth platform, Yi Jiangzi had already prepared, and offered his hand to fly Lian Yu, as if holding a fan and shaking gently, when the wind and waves were blowing, destroying the momentum of the forest and pulling out the trees, and easily breaking the crows of the attacking array.
"Humph! Summoning spirits, but Err! Yi Jiang Zilang laughed, and when he heard the sound of the drums below, he raised his magic weapon again, causing a strong wind, blowing sand to disturb the enemy's position, and then the archers of the rear team of the Wu Kui army shot in rounds, and many chiseled people fell in response.
At the same time, the right flank of the Wukui army suddenly made a loud killing sound, and the light of the spells flew back and forth, and the sharp battalion with white and golden light all over the body, wearing talisman armor inside and iron armor on the outside, held a melon hammer and heavy axe to tear apart the front line of the chiseled tooth people, and stepped on the corpses under his feet, and forced a bloody way to kill.
Yi Jiangzi saw from a distance that several witches in the rear of the enemy formation chanted a mantra, and they all stomped on the ground, acting like madness, and then countless vines and thorns broke through the ground and rushed out, entangling the warriors who broke the formation.
This time, without waiting for General Wei to speak, three female cultivators of the Mingxia Pavilion immediately raised their silk streamers, turning into a mist and smoke, gently flowing around Ruishi's body, silently making the vines and thorns dry like firewood, and they were easily broken free.
Seeing this, those witch Zhu knew that they were invincible, and the horn of retreat sounded behind the Jiuli National Army, and its voice was sharp and piercing.
When some of the chiseled people who fell behind heard this, they turned their heads and fled, and the remaining ones were happy to kill and did not retreat at all, and actually dragged the pursuit of Wu Kui's army. The few barbarian leaders who rode wild boars, with dozens of scars all over their bodies, covered in blood, still roared incessantly, until they were torn off their mounts by the Rui Shi Battalion and smashed their heads with a melon hammer a few times.
"General Wei, why don't you pursue?" Yi Jiangzi was about to cast another spell, but when he heard that his side was also blowing the trumpet to withdraw his troops, he had to ask according to his figure.
"This brute is here to lead us in pursuit." General Wei shook his head and said: "The monks of the Huaiying Pavilion who went to reconnoiter just now used paper cranes to send back the news, and they found that more than ten miles ahead, there was an ambush set up by the army of the Jiuli Kingdom, and the scale should not be underestimated. ”
"I see." Yi Jiangzi bowed slightly: "I found that the witch Zhu sent by the Jiuli Kingdom recently, although the magic skills are weird and changeable, they are not too clever. The legendary Ten Witches of Fengfu did not appear, and the high priest of the Holy Valley and the goddess of the Yongcui Temple did not come. ”
General Wei frowned and said, "I also think it's strange that the Jiuli Kingdom has used troops on a very large scale this time, but so far no powerful people have made a move. Maybe it's a deliberate show of weakness, or maybe it's a defense against a few of our pavilion leaders. ”
A master like the first seat of the pavilion naturally can't show up easily, but as a key hand to defeat the enemy, he will end at the right time.
Others may not understand the inside story, but General Wei still knows that Huaxu and Jiuli are fighting outside Pujia Pass, and the bear country must also be secretly watching the war, if either of the two countries is unsustainable, the bear country will definitely take advantage of the situation to send troops.
Several pavilion leaders and the army in the country are all preparing for the invasion of the Xiong Kingdom, and I don't know if the leading commander of the Jiuli Kingdom thought of this, and deliberately did not let masters such as Feng Fu Shiwu appear on the battlefield.
……
"This battle can't be fought!"
Stationed in the camp of the Jiuli Kingdom on the base, the general Fei Zuosheng, who had just returned from defeat, threw his helmet to the ground.
A thin black old man sitting on the table looked at the helmet rolling on the ground, picked it up with his wooden staff, and said in a flat tone: "General Fei, why is this so?" ”
On both sides of the black and thin old man, there were not only the tribal witches with tattoos and hair and complicated clothes, but also the military leaders who wore swords in uniforms, and they despised Fei Zozantido, and some of them simply scolded:
"What a bold man! Dare to speak out to offend Lord Wu Zhen! ”
Fei Zuosheng was also not polite: "This is not an offense, now we have fought with Huaxu State several times, but the result is defeat after defeat." Obviously, a total of more than 50,000 troops and horses from various departments were mobilized this time, why were they only willing to send a small number of troops every time they fought each battle?
Hua Xu Guo has formed a new army in recent years, and its combat power is amazing, and it is Wei Xiuwen and other stable and experienced people who lead the troops, if we don't press it with a huge advantage, we can't drag it out! ”
"Enough!" A tribal leader shouted: "You Fei Zuosheng is just a general, and it is a great favor for you to lead the troops." But I didn't expect you to be so useless, losing to a young general who didn't have a good reputation, and now you dare to make a big deal in the camp? Come on, beat him out of the stick! ”
Fei Zuosheng's face turned cold, and he was about to resist, when he saw the thin black old man waving his hand gently: "Okay, don't make a noise." General Fei, please sit down first, I have something to say. ”
"Yes." Fei Zuosheng swallowed his anger, withdrew his helmet, and sat down at the bottom of the head.
"I have fought against Hua Xu Guo many times before, compared to the soldiers of the Xiong Country, Hua Xu Guo is more dependent on the private soldiers of various wealthy families." Wu Zhen stroked the wooden staff: "The strongest of them is naturally the Yongjia Liang clan." Even if you don't mention the Liang Guoshi, just tens of thousands of soldiers under Liang Bao's command are enough to be worthy of an enemy country, but fortunately, they have to guard the flood pass all year round.
Over the years, the first task of the current lord of Huaxu is to dismantle all the armies, and in order to order one person, he even did not hesitate to force the Chiyundu and Tianlu armies one after another. I have to say that although it is an enemy country, I also admire the ambition of this Yang countrymaster. The Wu Kui Army that is now fighting against us is the result of Lord Yang's years of rectification of military and political affairs, and it is natural for everyone to find it difficult to deal with. ”
Fei Zuosheng wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Zhen continued: "As for Wei Xiuwen, I also know something about this person, he was originally the general of Sima Luoyi of Huaxu State, Luo Yi took the initiative to hand over the military power in order to protect his family, Wei Xiuwen can still be reused by Yang Guozhu, which shows that his talent is extraordinary."
I set up suspicious soldiers several times, but he was unmoved, attacked and defended calmly, and never made any mistakes. Coupled with the excellent armor of the Wukui army, this is far inferior to our Jiuli country, half a month ago Dongge Fort was besieged by them, and three ballistas directly blasted open the fort wall. Several Wu Zhu attempted to fly into the sky to attack the camp, but they were also killed by Fu Arrows. ”
A tribal witch beat his knees and said: "It's all because of that Zhenming Marquis Zhao Huang, who made some talisman arrows." In today's battle, even the Chiseltooth people, who have always been violent and belligerent, were killed with fear! They were born with a special physique, and they didn't need to be bandaged and medicated when they were injured, as long as they were not decapitated and severed, they could heal themselves in a blink of an eye, but the wounds left by the Fu soldiers could not be healed! ”
"Zhao Huang ......" Wu Zhen pondered for a long time: "This person became famous in Huaxu Country because he killed a long-dormant spy in my Jiuli Country. Later, it was he who opened an altar in Qingyan County to patrol the border, so that some of the people we had planted in the past were buried on the bank of the Cangshui River. ”
"At present, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenming is responsible for guarding Pujia Pass, I wonder if I can bypass most of the Wukui army and attack Pujia Pass from the small road?" Fei Zuosheng couldn't help but suggest: "Most of the monks of this kind of pavilion are not familiar with military affairs, and once they seize Pujia Pass, within half a month, the food and grass of the Wukui army will be exhausted, and it will not be a problem to deal with them at that time!" ”
Someone sneered and retorted: "Pujia Pass City is high and deep, and there are not tens of thousands of people who don't want to attack it at all!" You Fei Zuosheng also guarded Pujia Pass for your master back then, but as a result, your master was hacked to death by the thunder of Liang Guoshi, and you were afraid that the queen of the autumn would settle the account, so you had to bring your own troops to join me in Jiuli Kingdom. How? Do you think that everyone else is like you, and they will give up Pujiaguan casually? ”
was turned out of the old things of the past years, Fei Zuosheng gritted his teeth, his lord was a member of the clan of Huaxu State, and he was also a strong vassal guarding Pujia Pass, and in order to compete for the throne, he took a large number of soldiers and horses to Dongshengdu.
It's a pity that Liang Tao made a brazen move, in order to protect the obese and incompetent Gao Pinggong, so that his father-in-law, his wife and children all died under the thunder.
Fei Zuosheng knew that the lord died halfway through the deer, and he could not escape, and originally planned to go to Jiuli to borrow troops to take revenge, but unfortunately he did not wait for his side to prepare, the domestic situation in Huaxu has been decided, and a side branch of the clan suddenly ascended the throne out of nowhere, and even Gao Pinggong, who Liang Tao had once been optimistic about, also took the initiative to serve him as the lord of the country.
Good death is not dead, this incompetent Gao Pinggong was rewarded with a large amount of money, and he was also ordered to guard Pujia Pass, occupying the foundation of Fei Zuosheng's own lord back then.
"Actually, I do have the idea of making a detour to attack Pujia Pass." Wu Zhen said suddenly.
Fei Zuosheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Lord Wuzhen, in the past ten years, Gao Pinggong has been sitting in Pujia Pass, with lax armaments and lax defense. Although Wu Kuijun has been replaced now, the shortcomings cannot be made up for in a short period of time. In addition to Pujiaguan itself, there are many mountain pass fortresses and beacon forts nearby, most of which have been deserted for a long time. The last general is willing to personally lead a group of soldiers and horses, break through the city fortress, and attack Pujia Pass from the flank! ”
"You don't want to attack Pujia Pass directly." Wu Zhen shook his head slowly, and his tone seemed to be the earnest teachings of a loyal elder: "Judging from Wei Xiuwen's style of using troops, he himself led the troops to the battle, and Pujiaguan will definitely be ready for battle and will not be negligent." ”
Fei Zuosheng also understood this, but he first turned his back on the Huaxu Kingdom, and was coldly regarded in the Jiuli Kingdom. At present, the two countries are fighting each other, if they don't take the opportunity to make more contributions, I'm afraid there will be no place for them to stand!
"I previously arranged for the people of the beak to lurk in the mountains and forests near Huaxu Kingdom, so that they could attack and harass the military transfer behind Pujia Pass." Wu Zhen said: "It's a pity that these pig-beaked people are not of great use, and they still need a team of capable men and horses to capture the villages and villages in the city, and it is best to induce a large number of defenders in Pujia Pass to go out." ”
Fei Zuosheng immediately got up: "The last general wishes!" ”
"Okay." Wu Zhen nodded: "You are familiar with the geography of Huaxu Kingdom, this matter should indeed be done by you, I will arrange a batch of Wu Zhu for you to deploy." In addition, our Ten Witches of Abundance will also summon divine punishment to help you. ”
Fei Zuo muttered in his heart, he was not from the Jiuli Country tribe, and he was always at odds with those strange-looking and wild witch Zhu. But without the help of these people, in the face of the monks of Huaxu Kingdom, they are afraid of losing the upper hand when they fight, and they only hope that the other party will not be too willful.
As for the theory of divine punishment, Fei Zuosheng was also skeptical, but it was not his turn to ask more: "Yes, the last general will obey." ”
……
"Report! In the southwest of Changlin County, there are traces of Jiuli soldiers and horses! ”
Zhao Xiao was inspecting the drill of the convict army in the school yard when suddenly a herald came running and handed over an urgent report.
"Changlin County?" The soldier next to him was surprised: "How could the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom run there?" ”
Zhao Xiao looked at the "urgent report" sent by Lieutenant Zhang, and his heart was already clear, and he frowned and said: "Changlin County is an important place for military transfer, I wrote to ask for a batch of salt and iron medicines, and I will arrive at Pujia Pass in the near future. Now that I think about it, I am also near Changlin County. ”
"Could it be that Jiuli Country can't defeat General Wei on the front line, so he plans to cut off the logistics of the army's grain and grass?"
"Going deep into the enemy's territory, looting and sweeping, this is the consistent practice of the Jiuli Kingdom!" Zhao Xiao said: "These days, I have opened the altar several times, but I have not found the movement of the Jiuli army, they may have used magic to cover up and deceive the ghosts and gods. It is necessary for me to go on a journey myself and sweep away the enemy soldiers behind the pass! ”
"Zhao Changshi, this matter is not allowed!" The army hurriedly dissuaded: "Pujia Pass still needs you to sit in charge of cooking, sweeping away the enemy's looting, just send a battalion of soldiers and horses, why do you do it yourself?" ”
"The T-shaped battalion is searching and reconnoitring outside every day, and this is not the first time that Jiuli soldiers and horses have been found recently!" Zhao Huang shook his hand and reported urgently: "I have left a messenger charm and handed it over to Liang Hui Daoyou of Chongxuan Pavilion, if you encounter an enemy situation, you can just let him pass on a message to me." In the event of an emergency, I can fly back alone. After I left, except for the grain, grass, and military supplies, and the idle people, they were not allowed to enter or leave the pass without an official order, so as to prevent spying. ”
Before joining the army, Zhao Xiao raised his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to dissuade you!" ”
