Chapter 10: Drowning the Bandits

Although he knew that the thieves of the six towns were hoarding Qiangtian County, Long Yi was still worried that he would encounter the enemy too early to entangle with him, so he cautiously marched towards Shouyang City. Long Yi's people rode halfway and were not hindered.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaoming, Empress Dowager Hu came to court. This Empress Dowager Hu is tyrannical and extravagant, and the people are oppressed and can't live. The Huns in Woye Town of the Northern Wei Dynasty broke the six Han Baling, that is, the father who broke the six Han Black Mountain and captured the tiger could not bear the collection of the royal family and nobles and led the soldiers to kill the town general and launch an uprising. Soldiers from the other five towns of the six towns on the northern border responded one after another. In the end, the uprising failed, and the remnants of the Black Mountain Territory of Poliu Han roamed the border. Soon Ge Rong led the soldiers of the Six Towns to launch a greater uprising, and the rebel army fought all the way to Luoyang, but unfortunately the million-strong army was killed by Er Zhurong's 8,000 horsemen, and Ge Rong was also killed. Now Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, led his subordinates to join Er Zhurong at that time. After Ge Rong's death, the soldiers of the six towns scattered in Gaochang, Jinchang County and other places to become bandits, burning, killing and looting everywhere, endangering the cities and villages.

Three days later, Shouyang City fell into view, only to see about 30,000 or 40,000 thieves composed of Hu and Han people were rushing to the city wall one after another, and the corpses under the city wall of Shouyang City were piled up like a mountain, but the thief army rushed forward like crazy. It seems that the siege has been going on for a long time.

Although the thief army is numerous, it has no formation to speak of, and often fights on its own, and its strength is greatly reduced. If you are killed by a strong cavalry, you will immediately panic, and it will be difficult to resist, and there is only one way to rout. Long Yi was careful in his heart, and shouted loudly: "The team is arranged in a cone-shaped assault battle formation, with Meng Yanchi and Li Xin's 100-man team protecting the right flank, and the 100-man Black Mountain team protecting the left flank, and the team marching in unison, maintaining the formation, and not being dispersed. ”

"Yes!"

"Capture the tiger and lead twenty men to fetch some branches and drag them behind the horses, so that when our army charges, the sky is full of wind and sand, so that the enemy will mistakenly think that the army has been killed." Breaking the six Han and capturing the tiger took the order and left.

"Raise the snow wolf flag, all the brothers will follow me into the enemy formation, kill-kill-kill!"

"Snow wolf ride, kill-kill-kill-" The neighing of all the riders echoed, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Tian Bang stood on the wall tiredly, seeing that the morale of the defending soldiers was low, and he was at a loss. Yesterday, the front of the thief army provoked under the city, the commander Han Qiong did not listen to the advice and led his troops Han Xun and Han Qu to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to engage in the battle, the thief general Gong Yang fought and retreated, Han Qiong did not know what the plan was, waved the army to chase and kill, and was cut off by the thief army, the palace sheep turned back and killed, and Han Qiong's army was surrounded on all sides. At the moment of crisis, Tian Bang remembered that the infantry battalion Xiaowu Chang Zongzhao had outstanding martial arts, and entrusted him to lead 500 elite soldiers into the enemy formation, and rescued the dying Han Qiong in a desperate battle. Now Han Qiong is urgently treating life and death in Taishou Mansion, and the military warriors in the whole city were terrified in the first battle yesterday, and their morale plummeted. The Six Towns thieves took advantage of the situation to forcibly attack, making Shouyang City precarious.

Suddenly, a piercing wolf howl pierced the sky in the distance, and a fierce wolf leaped into the thief army, and no one could stop it wherever it went. The three snow wolf flags waving in the wind led an elite cavalry straight into the enemy formation, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and the enemy was crushed wherever he went. Behind the horsemen flew sand and rocks, as if a large army was coming. Tian Bang raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, our reinforcements have arrived." The defenders, who were originally depressed, were shocked when they heard this, and shouted in unison: "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!" "Everyone lifted their spirits and slew down the thieves who were about to rush up to the city.

Long Yi's three hundred elite horsemen slaughtered into the enemy formation, all like wolves and tigers, and shouted loudly "Snow - Wolf - Shenwei, Snow Wolf - God - Might-" while chopping, so that the momentum was so terrifying that people were frightened. Originally, the incident happened suddenly, the thief army was defenseless and did not know how many enemies there were, and the horses of the Longyi tribe were all good breeds of wild horses that were one in a thousand miles, and they were killed under the gate of Shouyang City in the blink of an eye, and the thief army scattered in all directions, not daring to approach. The siege thieves were also frightened and slowly retreated.

Tian Bang finally saw it at the head of the city, and shouted: "Brother Longyi, wait a minute, I will open the city gate for you." ”

The long knife in Long Yi's hand was full of blood, and he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart, and his expression was sluggish. Meng Yanchi and Li Xin are not much better, after all, the three of them are the first time to go into battle to tear apart, and they have been rolling on the battlefield for many years, how can they not understand: "The three sons, you know that you are benevolent and righteous in waiting for people, and you can't bear the enemy who dies under the knife, but we are born in troubled times, if you don't kill, you will be killed by others, and we can only stop killing by killing to protect our relatives from being killed by others." ”

Looking up at the sky, the dark clouds covered the top, afraid that it was going to rain, Long Yi muttered: "Yes, the will of heaven has brought me to this troubled world, and I can only obey the mandate of heaven to do something for the people!" ”

Po Liuhan Jihu grinned and continued: "That is, you can't go back to your mother's belly and wait for Sheng Shi to come out!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter and morale.

said that it was going to rain, and the raindrops began to fall dripping, Long Yi stretched out his arm, and the raindrops hit the back of his hand little by little, and suddenly splashed away, and his heart was much more comfortable.

Po Liuhan Heishan smiled and continued: "Childe, now the enemy army is cowardly, I will wait to catch up and fight for a while." ”

"Good!" Long Yi raised his head and shouted to Tian Bang at the head of the city: "I will lead my brother to chase and kill for a while, and Tian Senjun will open the door for me in a moment." ”

Tian Bang advised: "Brother Long Yi be careful. ”

Long Yi turned his horse's head and led the cavalry to chase and kill, and after a while, he rushed into the slow retreating thief army, and Long Yi's fine horse rushed left and right as if no man's land. The thieves of the six towns cried for their father and mother, and they hated that they didn't have long two legs to come out so that they could escape faster.

Seeing an army rushing out of the military village from a distance, Long Yi Lerma lined up the team to wait for the enemy army.

The enemy army lined up in formation, and one of the generals fought horses and raised their swords and shouted: "I am Gong Yang, the forward general under the command of Ge Yuantong, the leader of the left part of the Six Towns Army, who dares to fight with me." ”

"The thief will go crazy, do you know your grandfather to break the six Han Black Mountain?" Po Liuhan Black Mountain drove the horse forward and killed Gong Yang together. Gong Yang asked while fighting: "When did the Poliu Han clan vote for the Great Zhou Army?" ”

Breaking the six Han Black Mountain did not answer, an axe is fast an axe, after seven or eight moves, the six Han Black Mountain shouted, and the crescent axe cut off the head of the palace sheep. The people of Long Yi shouted loudly.

Tian Bang saw clearly on the city tower, perhaps in order to boost the morale of the Shouyang army, he hissed and shouted: "Snow - wolf - divine power, snow - wolf - god - might-", this trick really worked, and the sergeants in the city also shouted, and the slogan of the snow wolf riding resounded in the sky.

When the thieves saw that the main general was killed, they dared to stay longer, and hurriedly retreated, and the defenders of the enemy village saw that the troops in front of them were routing and hurriedly abandoned the village and fled. Long Yi did not chase after him, and the collar returned to Shouyang City. Tian Bang had already led the crowd to wait at the city gate, and Long Yi dismounted and walked forward quickly, and said to Tian Bang: "Let the army wait for a long time."

"Where? The Longyi brothers drove tens of thousands of enemies with hundreds of elite horsemen, as if they were no one's land, and relieved the danger of our city, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the city. After speaking, he knelt on the ground excitedly, Long Yi hurriedly pulled him up, "Joining the army is such a big gift to kill me, if it is like this in the future, I will throw my hands away."

Tian Bang didn't dare to salute again, took Long Yi's hand and said: "I will introduce a few colleagues with Brother Long Yi, this one is engaged in Huang Xuanzi Xianli." Huang Xuan arched his hand and said: "I learned about the name of the prince from Fang Ping's mouth as early as possible, and when I saw it today, he was really brave and powerful." ”

"Where, Mr. Huang praises him, Long Yi really doesn't dare to take it."

followed by the governor Gou And, Sima Yu Zhong Yu Ziyuan, listening to Tian Bang said that Yu Zhong was the descendant of the famous Yu Fu of the Three Kingdoms, Yu Tuo, who had been engaged in the Hui Ji Taishou Wang Lang, and had a good relationship with the divine doctor Hua Tuo. Sun Ce of Eastern Wu defeated Yan Baihu of Wu County, Wang Lang wanted to save, Yu turned over and sighed after persuading him, Sun Quan heard his virtuous name and hired him as a meritorious Cao, and introduced Hua Tuo to save the life of Zhou Tai, the general of Eastern Wu. Long Yi is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, so he naturally knows about Yu Xuan, and he can't imagine meeting his descendants here.

"I have heard of Lord Yu's good name for a long time, and I hope to give me more advice in the future."

Yu Zhong hurriedly replied: "Gongzi Shenwu, Ziyuan is impressed in his heart, and he will definitely come to the door to ask for advice in the future." ”

Long Yi was overjoyed and said, "Then it's a word." ”

Behind are the two youngsters Han Chong and Wang Cheng. Long Yi greeted everyone one by one. Then he rode into the city on horseback. When the people of the city heard that the thieves had retreated, they poured out into the streets with thunderous cheers. Seeing the military horses coming from afar, they shouted loudly: "Snow - wolf - divine power, snow - wolf - divine power -" For a time, "Snow Wolf Ride" became a heavenly soldier and heavenly general praised by everyone in the streets and alleys.

Tian Bang led Long Yi to camp in a military camp in the city, because the commander was still in a coma, so it was inconvenient to hold a celebration banquet, but Tian Bang still ordered someone to bring wine and meat to reward the soldiers.

Yu Zhong ordered Wang Cheng to lead people to clean up the battlefield and demolish the enemy camp. In the end, the army roughly calculated that 12,700 enemies were killed today, and the Hexi army suffered 2,000 killed, 800 seriously wounded, and 1,200 lightly wounded; The snow wolf rode with a mere 300 people and killed more than 6,000 enemies, not including the generals, while only six people were seriously injured and 28 people were slightly injured, and none of them died. In the conference hall of the Military Command Mansion, everyone looked at Bo Ji and looked at each other, and Tian Bang got up first to speak: "You have also seen it, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Longyi troops today, I think it would be impossible for us to sit in the hall like this." Now although the front of the thief army is defeated and retreated, but soon Ge Yuantong will personally lead the army to besiege the city, imagine that our army is now less than 30,000 troops, how to resist the enemy's 100,000 army, how do you see how we should retreat from the enemy? ”
