Chapter 616: Martial Artist
Wang Yun woke up again and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that in the wilderness, an endless tide of thieves was swarming towards them, and the generals around him were listening to Xun Cheng's command at a loss, but they still couldn't change anything.
The sudden cavalry of the Taishan army appeared too fast, and the wind and snow covered the figure of the cavalry rushing, and also shortened the distance of the Han army's sentinels. So when the Taishan army appeared three miles away from the Han army, they reacted.
But it's still too late.
Wang Yun brought a total of 13,000 Han troops to help, of which 5,000 were elite Han troops, and the rest were the troops of local wealthy families such as the Guo clan in Yangqu, and then there were the Han soldiers in Yangqu and other places.
Such a large army spread out from north to south in the form of a long snake formation, without any defensive formation at all.
Therefore, when the Taishan army cavalry suddenly appeared nearby, Yang Mi, the cavalry general of the state army, met it with three hundred cavalry, intending to buy time for the Han infantry in the rear to set up the formation.
So, on the periphery of the battlefield, this fierce general Yang Mi from Taiyuan led the three hundred knights who trusted him to fight against the blood.
But a moment later, when Yang Mi retreated with more than ten horsemen covered in blood, he found that the friendly troops in the rear had not changed at all, and even became even more chaotic.
He looked around and saw that three hundred brothers had gone out with him, but only these men had returned.
At this moment, Yang Mi understood that no matter how much the Han army fought this battle, it was powerless. He had just fought with those Taishan army horsemen, and knew very well that if the Han army did not have a strong formation, the final result would be death.
After sighing, Yang Mi pulled out his knife and killed himself.
Yes, a pride was let down, and hundreds of brothers were lost in vain, how can there be a face left in the world.
Yang Mi drew a knife and committed suicide too quickly, and the few knights around him didn't have time at all. In the end, these people cried, and then collected Yang Mi's body and evacuated the battlefield.
They have abandoned honor, but they are respected.
On the battlefield at this time, who cares about those knights who fight bravely? These people looked broken, and watched in despair as the knights with yellow tarzan got closer and closer.
But someone cares, it's Guo Lin.
As soon as the chaos began, Guo Ling took his own troops directly to his own clan soldiers, preparing to take over the command.
When Guo Lin arrived on horseback, the clansmen were waiting for the military order around the chief general sent down from above.
But this person has long been speechless at this time, and has done nothing at all.
So Guo Lin shouted on the horse:
"Give me the talisman!"
Then the Lord came to his senses, and he rebuked in a loud voice:
"Is General Guo going to take the army? You know, I'm ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, a long ge was stabbed in the abdomen, and when he looked over, it was a doll that hadn't even grown tall.
He wanted to say something, but then he was pulled off his horse by the surrounding Guo clan people, and then chopped into meat puree with a knife.
Guo Lin rushed over, he glanced at the nephew of the killer general, didn't say anything, but took out a flag from the jacket.
Then, the Guo clan of this army saw the direction of the Chinese army, and the original "Wang" flag had been put down, and it was replaced by a "Guo" flag.
So the Guo clan broke out into a tsunami, and their backbone returned.
Soon, under Guo Lin's continuous dispatch, the three thousand Guo clan disciples first withdrew westward from the straight, and then re-formed a phalanx on the snow-heavy wilderness.
In this process, there was a steady stream of retreating Han soldiers in the straight road ahead, and a trend of inverting bead curtains had been formed.
Only by driving the troops out of the straight to the wilderness on the west side could the Han soldiers have a glimmer of life.
But there are not many campers who understand this truth. The flags of countless battalions fell, and then they never stood up.
Guo Lin had no time to look at the miserable situation of these former robes, at this time he was too busy to take care of himself, and he just wanted to withdraw safely with his clan clan.
But having said that, seeing those familiar subordinates being trampled by the rebels and wailing all over the ground, Guo Lin's hands holding Ma Jin were already blue.
"Wang Zishi, you really deserve to die!"
……
Not all of them are at a loss.
At least at this time, Wang Yun's Chinese army still maintained its structure.
Xun Cheng is indeed a good general, and after finding that the battlefield was out of control, he decisively took two battalions of the Central Guard Army to protect Wang Yun's frame and came to a slope.
At this time, the chaotic crowd ran all the way south, and they were the only ones who stood on this dirt slope.
Wang Yun stood in front of the slope, the weather was cold, and his hands and feet were cold.
Xun Cheng sighed and comforted:
"This is war, and no one knows which comes first, the accident or the glory. Our generation of warriors should have had the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for the country a long time ago. ”
Wang Yun's ears kept roaring, and he licked his dry lips, unwillingly:
"Xun Jun, is it really impossible to do it?"
Xun Cheng sighed:
"What do you think the army commands? Relying on golden drums and flags. If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, the armies would still be able to see my banner, but now? The departments were deaf and blind, and could only be defeated by the flow of soldiers. The last general is also powerless. ”
But I didn't know which point of this sentence offended Wang Yun, but I saw that Wang Yun suddenly said madly:
"Don't tell me that you are powerless, as long as you do it, you will have merit. I propose you to use it at this time, I don't care what method you use, you must have a way. ”
Xun Cheng looked at Wang Yun squarely, was silent for a while, and finally spoke hard:
"The last general is a warrior, and the horse leather shroud should be. The catastrophe came, and the last general really did not have the ability to turn the tide. However, if the king wants to live, there is a way for the general. ”
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned red, he opened his mouth several times, and finally muttered:
"It's true that we're not martial artists after all."
Xun Cheng sneered.
No one spoke after that.
……
On the battlefield, the wolves ran and the pigs were defeated, and fear occupied the minds of these Han soldiers.
Suddenly, there was a golden sound of stormy waves from the far slope, and the defeated army subconsciously looked over, and then they saw in the wind and snow that the festival representing the banner of the Han family was held high.
Nearly 1,000 people were there at the same time:
"The blood of the male son of the Han family donated his life to the country."
Countless people heard this tragic voice, some turned their heads and continued to run south, some gritted their teeth and rushed towards the slope with the soldiers, and some walked and then turned around to join them.
The boy of the Han family has endless blood.
Whenever the crimson military flag of the Han family was erected, there were always righteous people who sacrificed their lives for him.
……
In the goose feather snow, Zhang Chong, who was wearing a mink hat on his head, also saw the changes in the battlefield.
At this time, from his vantage point, there was howling and blood on the white expanse of the earth, and only the two camps still stood in the western wilderness.
At this time, Zhao Yun beside him asked quietly:
"Your Majesty, do you want to transfer two more assault cavalry to defeat the two Han armies in the west first?"
Zhang Chong shook his head:
"No, the top priority is to eradicate all the routs on the straight, these people have already lost their hearts and can't give them time to react."
Zhao Yun bowed his head and prepared to take his headquarters to attack.
At this time, a young general behind Zhao Yun suddenly spoke:
"The last general will fight."
Zhang Chong turned his head and glanced back, it was his little brother, Zhang Shao.
At this time, Zhang Shao had a beard on his face and was dressed in military pretenses, and he could no longer see the skinny weed-pulling boy back then.
Zhang Chong knew that his younger brother had been eager to go to the battlefield again because of the lack of the battle of Liaodong, so he nodded his head and approved his military order.
In this way, Zhang Shao followed Zhao Yun and brought a thousand horsemen to join the pursuit.
The surging cavalry trampled the fluffy snow firmly, and they followed the retreating flow of the Han army all the way south, and the roads were littered with corpses, and the battle was practically out of suspense.
About half an hour later, the Tarzan army assault cavalry that was in front of the pursuit had already turned back. They fought all the way to the Stone Ridge Pass, and then showed off their might before returning.
The Han army in the pass was already frightened, and almost surrendered the pass directly.
But it doesn't matter if they sacrifice or not, at this time Yangqu has no more soldiers to fight, after this war, the north of Taiyuan is empty.
When Zhao Yun and the others returned to this battlefield, Zhang Chong's Daxu was still standing here. At this time, they had surrounded the two Han legions to the west.
And Zhang Chong stood at the foot of the slope that erected the Han family's knots.
When Zhao Yun came back, he saw his brother-in-law talking to the man named Wang Yi, and there were several captured Han soldiers in front of them, with a distressed face.
After seeing Zhao Yun coming, Zhang Chong beckoned and smiled:
"Zilong, do you know who the people on the slope are?"
Of course Zhao Yun didn't know.
Zhang Chong said with emotion:
"It's the previous Yikou guard. After knowing the news, Komeito went directly to the front line, saying that he must meet what kind of person he is. ”
Zhao Yun understood Xu Huang's psychology, after all, Xu Gongming was a proud person, although there were many things to say in the previous battle of Yikou Pass, he also understood that this battle was not going well.
After that, they were able to successfully take Yikou Pass because the guard named Xun Cheng was not there.
Wang Yi on the side was like a reminder, and added with a smile:
"I just learned from the captive army that the prince's division is also on it, which is really unexpected."
Zhao Yun wondered:
"Who is this prince? Which hero is the state? ”
Wang Yi obviously knows Wang Yun very well, and he was about to introduce Zhao Yun to Zhao Yun what kind of talent this is my Han family, but he didn't want Zhang Chong to say lightly:
"It doesn't matter."
So, Wang Yi choked and didn't dare to say anything more.
And Zhao Yun also saw Wang Yi's appearance, and guessed in his heart that Wang Zishi should also be a character, but since his brother-in-law said that this person was not important, then this person must not be important.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, but Zhang Chong still did not give the order to attack the Han army on the slope.
He abruptly turned around and asked Dian Wei:
"Awe, do you still have any wine?"
Dian Wei seemed to be startled, and hurriedly jumped up and denied:
"Your Majesty, I have taken a quit. And it's not allowed to drink alcohol in this army, so how can we get alcohol. ”
After speaking, he shook his head vigorously, but his heart lowered weakly.
Zhang Chong laughed, snatched the kettle from Dian Wei's waist, then shook it and pulled the stopper.
Sure enough, there was wine in the kettle.
Dian Wei snorted:
"Your Majesty, you have to believe in our old classics, we really didn't drink during the war. I don't believe it, I ask the big eyes. ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Damu pleadingly.
Zhang Chong sneered, ignored Dian Wei, and casually summoned his younger brother over.
Zhang Shao was smiling and chatting with Han Dang and the others about the number of prisoners, and when he saw the second brother calling him, he hurriedly rushed over.
Zhang Chong threw the flask to him and commanded:
"You take this wine jug uphill, give the wine to that Xun Cheng, and ask him if he dares to drink it?"
Zhang Shao let out a "hey" and left without thinking about it.
Zhang Chong's face was strange, and he called out to Zhang Shao:
"Little brother, aren't you afraid? Then Xun Cheng is surrounded by us, if you are taken hostage, wouldn't you be in danger? ”
But I didn't want Zhang Shao to ask rhetorically:
"Brother Wang, if Xun Cheng can enter your eyes, then he won't be such a person."
After speaking, he was quite heroic and said righteously:
"Besides, I, Zhang Shao, as a child of our Zhang family, have lost my head and it's just a big scar at the mouth of the bowl! I'm afraid! ”
Seeing his little brother like this, Zhang Chong laughed, he touched Zhang Shao's head, and said warmly:
"You go up and take a look at that Xun Cheng for me, it doesn't matter if you drink wine or not. You tell him that this Hanguan is here, but if this flying general is gone, then who will not teach Humadu Yinshan? ”
Zhang Shao nodded, and then went uphill in the wind and snow without looking back.
After he left, Zhao Yun couldn't help but worry:
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be too risky to let Brother Shao go up, if he really said that he was your younger brother, then Xun Cheng would definitely threaten us with this."
Others don't understand, they don't know why Zhang Shao is asked to do such a thing, isn't this giving people a handle?
But Zhang Chong shook his head and explained to everyone:
"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold. Our family has a thousand miles away, and he wants to go out and have a look. As for what if he is in danger? ……”
Zhang Chong shook his head and asked Wang Yi on the side:
"You don't really think that Wang Yun is still up there, do you? If I guessed correctly, there would only be Xun Cheng and this Han family festival. ”
Wang Yi was speechless, and had the heart to refute but thought that he had not been able to keep the festival, and he still had no confidence to speak.
……
In the wind and snow, Zhang Shao took one step at a time, without any fear in his heart, but was full of curiosity about Xun Cheng who was about to meet.
He heard how the army talked about this person, saying that Xun Cheng had killed his nephew in order to guard the relationship before, and this was a madman.
The young Zhang Shao couldn't understand people like Xun Cheng. Just as most people can't understand Zhang Xun who guards Suicheng, they can't understand Geng Gong who guards the Western Regions.
Such people have always been outliers and minorities, and what they do is often shocking. Maybe that's why Zhang Chong wants Zhang Shao to meet this person.
This slope is not high, and after walking a hundred steps, Zhang Shao was stopped. Stopping him was an ordinary-looking military official, who didn't say much after seeing Zhang Shao come up alone, and escorted him silently.
Along the way, Zhang Shao saw the morale of this army, and they had the intention to show that they saw death as home, but they couldn't hide their confusion and panic.
These people all looked at Zhang Shao, obviously seeing him as an envoy of the Taishan army, who had come to persuade him to surrender.
Zhang Shao shook his head, he understood that his brother Wang did have the intention to persuade him to surrender, otherwise he would not have let him come to deliver this wine. But he also understands that this matter depends on that Xun Cheng.
Looking at the back of the military officer in front of him, Zhang Shao asked in a low voice:
"I don't know what to call it?"
The military officer did not reply:
"Gao Shun."
Zhang Shao didn't feel that the name was any different, but whispered:
"General Gao, if possible, persuade your family General Xun, after all, it is about the lives of many people."
At this time, Gao Shun turned around abruptly and said something like this:
"I will help you bring your words, but the result is already doomed, because General Xun is a real martial artist."
Zhang Shao was puzzled, what does this have to do with whether a martial artist is a martial artist or not? If this battle is fought like this, it's embarrassing to put the score of the martial artist?
But he did not anger Gao Shun, and continued to walk on the ground, not daring to look at the thirst along the road.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
