Chapter 243: A Stand-in? It's kind of interesting
The wind howled, blowing countless flags in the military camp of Bingzhou.
At this time, Meng Su's eyes were dancing with fire, and his ears were full of shouts and wails.
When the large firelight in the southwest appeared, Meng Su understood that they had completely fallen into Wang Rong's trap, and Jingxing was only afraid that it would be more than lucky.
"Young master, be careful!"
In the night, the bowstring sounded loudly, and a guard stood up for Meng Su's side.
Meng Su's heart was desolate, the soldiers around him were all fellow villagers who played with him back then, as well as relatives in the family, recruits from the land of Sanfu.
It is all because of Mengsu's fame that he chose to follow him, make meritorious contributions, and glorify his ancestors.
But today, he is almost lost in the battle of this Yuan County, what face does he have to go back to see his father in his hometown?
The shouts of killing around were getting closer, and the shouts of the guards were becoming more and more urgent.
Meng Su shook his head, trying to dispel the sadness in his heart, and there was no room for the cranky thoughts in his head on the battle array.
"Kill!!"
Meng Su waved the ring-headed sword, drove the war horse, and rushed forward frantically, there were originally seventeen guards beside him, and there were only thirteen of them left in the battle.
The Yong army in the camp was already in disarray, and the soldiers of the state army were striding forward, and one after another the soldiers of the Yong army fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the encirclement was not formed, and a group of guards escorted Mengsu to fight desperately to get out of the encirclement.
But Meng Su and the others had just walked a few dozen steps, and a group of soldiers and horses suddenly flashed in the military tent in front of them, and a battle flag with yellow characters on a black background appeared in front of Meng Su's eyes.
There is a big "Wu" character embroidered on the flag, but it is Wuluo who saw the place where Yuan Tiangang was guarding the flames.
Knowing that it was the Yongjun attacking the camp, he specially rushed to support, and happened to bump into Meng Su who fled.
"Whew! ——」
"Meng Su Hugh is gone!"
A sharp wooden whistle sounded immediately afterward, and Wuluo led his cavalry to dance their spears and rushed towards Mengsu, and the soldiers of the Bingzhou army behind him all rushed towards Mengsu.
Meng Su's face changed greatly, and there were thousands of people in front of him, how could he be the enemy?
At this moment, one of the guards shouted loudly: "Lord, the wall here is low, you can get out of the village from here!"
"Let's go!"
Meng Su immediately made a decision, and dragged the war horse with his personal guards to gallop towards the wall.
"Mengsu, where to escape!"
Ulo was furious, and his spear was already galloping.
"The young master goes first!"
When the two guards saw Uluo coming with their spears, they gritted their teeth and left the group.
The shouts of killing started again, Meng Su gritted his teeth, and after all, he didn't look back, and drove his horse down the low wall with a group of guards.
Seeing the two Yongjun cavalry rushing forward, Wuluo Tiger roared, waved the spear in his hand, and the two sides fought together, and the two enemy horsemen fell under the horse one after another.
Although these two enemy horsemen have been on the battlefield for a long time, how can they defeat Uluo?
It's just that after all this time, when Wuluo walked to the wall, Mengsu and the others only left them with a back.
"Damn! Yes! Ahh
Uluo shouted angrily, took out the hard bow from his waist, and fired several shots at the place where Meng Su had left, but to no avail. The backs of Meng Su and his party finally disappeared into the dark night.
Uluo stopped his emotions and looked to the south with burning eyes, the sea of fire surging in the southwest, and he knew in his heart that Wang Rong's ambush had been successful.
The battle of Yuanxian is coming to an end.
Upstairs in Yuanxian County, Ming Xuan watched the changes outside the city, and wanted to lead the troops out of the city several times, but reason still made him give the order to hold on.
The cavalry in the city all withdrew with Jingxing, and now there are only more than 6,000 foot soldiers, even if they are taken out of the city.
The fire in the south shook, and countless sergeants of the state army cheered loudly, and the earth-shattering cry reached the city of Yuanxian.
The sergeant of the Yongjun army who woke up in his sleep also reached Mingxuan's ears.
Panicked mood in the army
The camp spread, but fortunately, the patrol of the Yongjun suppressed the panic in time, so that the camp did not howl.
Ming Xuan wore a set of armor left by Jing Xing and finished patrolling the barracks, and then returned to the city tower.
Outside the city, some Yongjun troops who fled back appeared, and they scolded the guards to open the door quickly, but there was a military order from Ming Xuan, and the guards did not open the city gate for them.
The frightened routs shouted insults at the guards on the walls, and it was not until a rain of arrows poured down that they fled around the city and elsewhere.
Torch-wielding rangers galloped across the wilderness, and a rout of the Yong army was driven away into the distance.
They ran desperately towards the darkness, they couldn't see the road ahead, they stumbled forward, just trying to get away from the fire behind them.
But all this was obviously in vain, and the scattered Yong army fell one after another under the blade of the pursuing cavalry of the Bingzhou army.
Just like the battle of Yanmen County, after the big victory, the rout of the Ji *** team was chased to the sky and had no way to enter the ground, but at this moment it became the Yong army.
"And the state army wins!"
Ming Xuan clenched the railing on the city tower with both hands, and his face was pale. The Yongjun army was completely defeated in the battle of Yuanxian, and Ming Xuan looked outside the city, thousands of lights outside the city converged, and the shouts were as loud as thunder.
What was originally a spark has now turned into a prairie fire. There were more and more fires, Mingxuan's hands and feet were cold, and in a trance he saw that the entire wilderness had been ignited by it, and the flames were soaring, and a shattered edifice was slowly collapsing in the fire.
On the distant horizon, a glimmer of light quietly appeared. A round of golden crows rose from the ground and slowly flew into the sky, and the clouds above Yuanxian County were gilded with a layer of gold.
The darkness slowly left the earth, and the whole world ushered in light again.
There was a mess outside the city of Yuanxian County, and cooking smoke slowly rose from the camps of the Bingzhou Army.
The camp of the Bingzhou army was filled with the joy of the great victory, and the sergeants of the Bingzhou army who were eating talked loudly about the victory at night, and the Yongjun army fled in embarrassment, throwing away their armor.
The hour is full
The barracks of the state army were boiling over, and the drums of war sounded
On the city tower of Yuan County, Ming Xuan did not sleep all night, and he stood in the city tower wearing Jingxing's armor all night.
On the city wall, there is still Jingxing's black and red Daxu, and the news of Jingxing's departure from Yuanxian County is only known to a few generals in the army.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The rumbling drums of war echoed across the wilderness, and the army outside the city had begun to assemble.
Ming Xuan looked at the mighty Bingzhou army under the city tower, and the large area of fire in the south last night was in full view of Ming Xuan, and Ming Xuan knew in his heart that Jingxing had probably encountered an accident.
Ming Xuan didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the defenders in Yuan County learned that Jing Xing was no longer in Yuan County.
Now the Yongjun army in the city knew that last night's night attack had failed, and they were in a period of low morale, and they did not see many people return to the camp, so they were also suspicious.
The army of Bingzhou was mighty, and at four o'clock, the military formation of the army of Bingzhou was already in the south of the county seat of Yuan, as well as in the west.
As early as when Wang Rong decided to go west and fight a decisive battle with the Yongjun army in the east of the Jingxing River, he quickly sent a message to Jingcheng.
Let the defenders of Jingcheng Pass build siege equipment, and now all kinds of siege equipment are readily available, all of which were brought from Jingcheng Pass on the day of the expedition. It is to take into account the situation of if the Yongjun army is defending the county seat.
"Woo————
The horn of the Bingzhou army came from afar, and a group of Bingzhou cavalry flying black and red flags galloped out from the large array of the Bingzhou army.
The Yongjun guarding the city wall all looked at the strange cavalry of the Bingzhou army in surprise, and Ming Xuan also followed the prestige. It's just that the closer the cavalry gets, the more ugly Ming Xuan's face becomes.
The banners held by the cavalry of the Nahe State Army were all flags dropped by the Yongjun army, some were led by the team, and some were captained ...... There are even banners of Han Pu, Qi Mao and others.
The most eye-catching thing in the cavalry formation is a black and red general flag, which is Mengsu's general flag.
The voices of people on the wall of Yuanxian County gradually became noisy, and the Yongjun guarding them all looked at it in horror
Under the city.
That's Mengsu! That's the Tiger in Guanzhong!
Invincible, bravely crowned the three armies, and captured countless Mengsu in the chaos of the Dayong Rebellion.
While they were discussing, a knight from the state army suddenly stepped out of the cavalry formation, and Ming Xuan looked at it fixedly, and his hands couldn't help but clench the railing.
The knight of the state army dragged a person with a rope behind his horse, and that person was wearing Jingxing's armor!
"Jingxing's head is here! Why don't you come down early to avoid the suffering of the sword!"
The Yongjun on the city wall also recognized Jingxing's armor.
A commander of the Yongjun army trembled like chaff, and he looked at the man under the city wall who was dragged by the knight of the state army, and he could barely speak: "Isn't that a general......
The other Yongjun had a little horror on his face, but when he looked at the person wearing Jingxing armor on the city tower, his eyes also showed doubt: "Isn't the general on the city tower? And Daxu is all ......."
"Blind your dogs, the general is above the tower, and the armor under the walls is just a trick used by the rebels, don't be deceived by them!"
A Yongjun soldier strode across the sword and shouted loudly, stopping the noise here, but the noisy voices of the rest of the places became louder and louder.
Ming Xuan didn't dare to go down to inspect the army at this time, no better than patrolling the camp at night, please see it clearly with his face during the day.
Many of these soldiers in Yuanxian County know Jing Xing's face, as long as Ming Xuan goes down the city tower, everyone will inevitably show his face when they see him, and then they will know that Jing Xing is dead.
I am afraid that the Yong army in Yuanxian County will not wait for the state army to attack, and it will collapse in just a moment.
"Order the bed crossbow to return fire! This is the estimation of the state army, and the officers and men of the various departments must not be deceived by it."
Ming Xuan immediately made a decision and gave orders loudly.
The herald with the order flag on his back passed down Ming Xuan's general order, and the few only bed crossbows on the city wall were pulled by the wrestlers of the Yongjun army.
Outside the city of Yuanxian County, Jingxing's big banner was also seen by Wang Rong, as well as the figure wearing Jingxing's armor on the city tower.
Wu Luo looked at Jing Xing on the city tower with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously. "Didn't Jingxing be killed by the lord yesterday, then this city is upstairs?"
Huang Fujian followed Wang Rong's side, looked at the wall of Yuan County, and explained to Wuluo, "It must be someone in the city who is wearing Jingxing's armor and disguises himself as Jingxing is still in the army. If it weren't for the lord's discernment to see through Jingxing's plan to retreat, I'm afraid we would really think that the person on this tower is Jingxing himself."
"A stand-in? It's kind of interesting......" Wang Rong dragged Chiyun in front of the military formation, and he was indeed a little skeptical about whether what he killed at night was Jingxing.
