Chapter 267: One Hundred Secrets
The fire was pervasive, and the billowing smoke made Zhang Liao, who was a stone's throw away, feel a little choked.
He rubbed his nose twice until he let out a sneeze that he felt more comfortable.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At this moment, he is not hiding.
While shouting loudly, he greeted with crossbow arrows.
His quiver with a full hundred crossbow arrows was now mostly empty.
"One person is short, and three people are long, but it seems that there is still a little bit of omission." Zhang Liao muttered, "The enemy already knows that we are firing arrows in the east, how can they continue to run east?" ”
Zhang Liao watched the black shadows drill into the forest to the north one after another, and he was a little confused.
At this time, the golden drums in the west sounded in unison, and the sound of killing was like thunder.
The enemy troops, who had already been killed, all ran to the west in groups.
But they were halfway through when they suddenly heard shouts from the west, and then quickly turned around.
"Why did you miss that?" Zhang Liao was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
There is a lack of one in the surrounding area, and the west should leave a way for them to survive.
The enemy thought that they would survive, so they could chase and kill.
Now.
It seems that all I have to do is do it.
When the enemy army enters the mountains, it is no different from a flock of sheep burrowing into the mountains.
Especially in the middle of the night, it's impossible to find it.
Zhang Liao hesitated between chasing and withdrawing his troops, and then chose to withdraw his troops.
"Withdraw!" He ordered.
The enemy's camp of 10,000 people was almost completely empty.
Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows beckoned down, almost washing the enemy's camp.
Now it doesn't seem to make sense to rush out and chase the fire again.
Not only can it not kill many enemy soldiers, but it is easy to trap them in the fire.
According to the original plan, Zhang Liao led people to no longer hide their whereabouts, and they bypassed Dongshan with open fire and turned south.
At the agreed meeting point, after waiting for about an hour, Zhu Hong led the prisoner army to rush over.
As soon as they met, two big words were written on their faces - depressed.
Regret!
"You realize that too?" Zhang Liao asked.
Zhu Hong smiled helplessly and bitterly, "The war has ended so hastily, if I still can't notice it, then wouldn't I be a little stupid?" How many kills are you? ”
"About thirty percent, more than half of them are seriously injured!" Zhang Liao said.
Hearing this number, the depressed look on Zhu Hong's face suddenly became heavier.
"None of them should have been able to escape." He said with annoyance.
Zhang Liao patted Zhu Hong's shoulder, "We didn't lose a single soldier, but we killed thirty percent of the enemy and seriously injured more than half of them, this is a big victory, don't be too entangled, take it as a warning in the future." ”
If you say that, it can indeed be regarded as a big victory.
But what Zhu Hong is entangled with is that they can obviously do better.
But that's only how far it goes.
"I also picked up more than 5,000 war horses." Zhu Hong, who was still unhappy in his heart, said quietly.
Zhang Liao laughed, "Look, this is a big victory." We're a little too rich now, and we're almost four riders. ”
"Wait for Tianming to send someone to Chang'an." Zhu Hong said.
Zhang Liao nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that I can't find Zhang Ji and Xiahou Yuan's troops, if you hand over the extra war horses to them, it will definitely be of much greater use than sending them to Chang'an." ”
"It's a pity that they can't be found, they can hide better than us." Zhu Hong shook his head and smiled, "Let's go, let's go south, first find a place to set up camp, lest the enemy foot soldiers react and copy our back road." ”
"Withdraw!" Zhang Liao roared.
……
The horse sat in the big tent of the Chinese army with a disgraced face.
A large chunk of his hair had been burned off, and the right half of his face was wrinkled, and the charred flesh could be seen.
"You...... It doesn't matter, right? Huang Yan asked.
Looking at the horse playing with this face, Huang Yan felt that his face was a little painful.
"I can't die for the time being, but it affects my cave room." The horse played in a muffled voice.
"It's good if you can't die, fire is poisonous." Huang Yan bowed slightly, "What the hell happened last night?" ”
"I don't know." The horse was playing with his neck, dejected, but a little angry.
Zhang Heng listened and listened, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, "You hurt more than 10,000 of our cavalry, and almost wiped out the whole army, you don't even know?" ”
The horse jumped up and shouted at Zhang Heng with his neck tilted, "Come, kill me!" ”
"Kill me!" He slammed his blade on his neck and roared.
Zhang Heng's temper suddenly jumped up, choked, he drew a knife in his hand, "You think I don't dare!" ”
"I know you dare, hurry up, kill me." The horse yelled sharply.
Huang Yandeng had a headache, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Eliminate the anger, why are you so excited?" The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and our top priority now is to find out where the enemy is and how many troops there are! ”
"What's the point of you going on like this? Wait for the enemy to kill the cavalry and then slaughter the foot soldiers? ”
"All sit down!"
Huang Yan kicked the horse back first, and then sat down with Zhang Heng in his arms.
"Horse play, how the hell did last night's battle happen? We need to know the details! Huang Yan took a deep breath and asked.
Ma Yu gently touched the wound on his face with his hand, and couldn't help but gasp.
After the pain passed, he glanced at Huang Yan, his tone was still a little unruly, and said, "I advise you not to delay your efforts, I don't know what you asked, what else can I tell you?" ”
"I inexplicably suffered a big defeat, losing more than 6,000 soldiers, I deserve to die, you just kill me."
"Anyway, I was in a daze last night, and I was woken up by a fire. When I rushed out of the camp, there were rockets flying all over the sky, and there were so many dogs and arrows, round after round, all over the world. ”
"The soldiers have run out of order, and the horses are gone, so I have no choice but to drill into the forest to the north."
Zhang Heng didn't wait for the horse to finish playing, he stood up with a knife and scolded Huang Yan angrily, "Listen, you listen." ”
"Is that what he said? We did not treat him harshly, but he still looked domineering, stepping on horses, as if we had lost the battle. ”
"Don't stop me, if I don't kill him today, the labor and management will not be surnamed Zhang!"
Ma Yu leaned his neck and stood up again, "Come, hurry up, I am angry now when I see that I am not a human or a ghost, and I am a hundred dead." ”
"Sit down!" Huang Yan stomped his feet and roared, "What are you doing?" If you can't lose the battle, do you still have to fight back? ”
"Sit down!"
These two voices are more effective than Fang Cai's bitter words.
Ma Wan shook his head and sat down, Zhang Heng stared at Ma Yao angrily, but he didn't get any more excited.
Huang Yan calmed down his rollercoaster mood, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did the enemy attack from?" ”
The horse played with a pestle, thought for a while, and said: "The rockets came down from the mountains to the east, and there were not many of them, about two or three thousand in one round, but they repeated for many rounds. I saw that there was no hope of gathering troops, and when they fled into the mountains, they were still firing arrows. ”
"There was also an enemy in the west, and at that time the golden drums were beating in unison, and the shouts and killings coming down the wind were very dense, and there were at least thousands of people."
Huang Yan nodded, Ma Yu's attitude was at least able to speak normally.
"Didn't you pick up the enemy's arrows?" He then asked.
Ma Yu pouted, "General Huang, didn't you see how big the fire was at that time, after the fire spread from the camp tent to the forest, it burned behind our backs, how could I have the strength to turn back and pick up a few arrows and come back?" It's too late to run. ”
"I guess the fire hasn't been extinguished yet. In the dry season, if you go down with a fire, those mountains will never be extinguished if they are not burned out, and some of the people nearby have charcoal burned this winter. ”
Huang Yanting's brows twisted into one pimple after another like a nine-palace lock, "In the realm of Liangzhou, apart from us, only Ma Teng has the ability to cast so many arrows. ”
"But Ma Teng is trapped by our army on Qiyun Mountain at the moment, and it is impossible for him to get rid of the encirclement of our army, but instead set up an ambush on our road ahead. I thought about it, and the only people who could do this were the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. ”
"Impossible!" As soon as Huang Yan's words fell, Ma Yu retorted, "Huangfu Old Dog was almost beaten into a real old dog by the lord in Hanyang, how could he grasp the timing so accurately and set up an ambush on the front road of our army?" ”
"You don't even know how to fart a reasonable fart." Zhang Heng glared and scolded, "How do you know that the imperial court only sent soldiers and horses to Huangfu Song?" What if people go out of Liangzhou in multiple ways? ”
"Huangfu old dog is a captain, since the imperial court let him lead the troops, how can he send others again?" Ma Yu retorted angrily, "He himself has suffered defeats, lost his troops, and has the kung fu to send soldiers and horses to intercept our reinforcements?" ”
"Shhh...... Hey, wait, how do I think this seems to make some sense?! ”
refuted Zhang Heng's horse playing, talking and talking, but refuted himself.
Zhang Heng sneered, "You can't listen to your own farts, right?" ”
"Blocking our reinforcements all the way in Yuzhong, won't Huangfu Song have time to recruit reinforcements from the imperial court and counterattack the lord?"
Ma Yu opened his mouth and muttered to himself, "It seems that there is some fucking truth in it." ”
Huang Yan bowed his head and said, "It seems that this should be the case." ”
"Since Huangfu Song wants to intercept our army, he will not stop at this time when he ambushes our cavalry. He will certainly continue to try to set up ambushes on the way ahead of our army. ”
"There are thousands of people on the east and west sides, and the soldiers and horses he sent are obviously not much, maybe only about five or six thousand, but they should be the elite of the Chang'an army. Carrying a large number of arrows should be carried with the cooperation of cavalry and a large number of crossbowmen. ”
"They quietly approached our army and set up such a killing move, there must be people in the army who are good at planning."
Ma Yu listened a little impatiently, "You tell us directly, how to fight, Made, I can't swallow this breath." ”
"It's because you're a fool who is not cautious that you have caused such a fiasco, and it's all like this, and you don't think twice about it, and find out the enemy army first?" Zhang Heng scolded angrily.
Ma Yu raised his hideous cheeks and said in a vicious voice: "Although what you said makes sense, I don't want to hear it. If you want to kill me, it's too early, and if you don't want to do it, just shut up honestly! ”
"Bastard thing!" Zhang Heng was furious, kicked the ground with his right foot, flew up, and slashed down.
"Come on, come on, you dog-made thing." The horse laughed hideously.
Huang Yan was in a hurry, stretched out his arm and stopped in front of Ma Dong, and yelled: "Enough! ”
Zhang Heng, who was in mid-air, saw Huang Yan and hurriedly closed his momentum.
But the distance was too close, and even if he collected the knife, he couldn't completely withdraw it.
The blade slashed Huang Yan's arm and fell, and immediately blood poured into it, and a huge incision was exposed in front of him.
Huang Yan covered it and said with a calm face: "Are you satisfied now?" Get the hell out of here! ”
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Heng was a little overwhelmed.
Ma Yu also hung his head and pulled his hair twice, "What are you doing to stop you, I'll bandage you." ”
"Get out of here!" Huang Yan roared.
