Chapter 149: Youfeng is here
Although Yue Jinlong was the first soldier to stabilize the vanguard of the rebel army, the five hundred halberd warriors rushed behind the cavalry like ancient gods, and quickly reorganized the battle formation, like a divine halberd that could not be broken, together with the cavalry, stabbing the rebels with all kinds of weapons and blood-red eyes.
Zhao Que stood on the city wall and wondered.
The killing power of the five hundred halberds is stronger than that of the cavalry, the cavalry kills like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and immediately turns back, ready for the next round of rushing to kill, and the halberders do not need to pause at all, and skillfully wield the halberd, all of them seem to be the black and white impermanence of the underworld to the world, harvesting the lives of the rebels, without mercy at all.
Don't say that it was a wolf into the flock, these five hundred halberds were like a meteorite outside the sky, smashed into the rebel army, and in a short period of time, they carved out a gap in the vanguard that Yue Jinlong had worked so hard to maintain.
The cavalry followed, and the next charge, aimed at the gap cut by the halberders, a whirlwind of slaughter.
Seeing that the vanguard of the righteous army was about to be easily smashed by five hundred halberders and cavalry, the cold sweat on Yue Jinlong's forehead flowed down like a broken line, and the combat strength of the officers and soldiers far exceeded his expectations.
When he was appointed as a county officer, he knew more or less about the combat strength of the defenders of Nanyangzhou, but what was in front of him was not at all the elite army that the defenders of Nanyangzhou could have.
Could it be that the imperial court unknowingly sent soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion?
No way!
Yue Jinlong directly vetoed this idea, if the imperial court sent soldiers and horses, he would definitely know, and it would not be like he was confused now, looking at the halberdiers and cavalry like gods, killing the righteous army and retreating.
The momentum of the rebels fell again and again.
Among the five sword immortals, the great masters of the Lower Realm of An Life, who worked hard to resist the unknown generals who fought him, turned their heads and roared at him: "Yue Jinlong, stabilize the advance of the righteous army, and then let the cavalry and halberders rush down and kill, everyone will die together!"
How could Yue Jinlong not know what the outcome of the defeat would be, and hurriedly sent an order: "Tell the other generals who dares to take a step back on the battlefield and be beheaded." ”
"Obey!" The guards turned their horses' heads and informed the other generals in the rebel army, the guards were not in a good mood, he saw with his own eyes how terrifying the combat power of the official army was, and the results they had deduced before, contrary to the fact that the defenders of Nanyangzhou were not so waste, but like elite soldiers who raised soldiers for a thousand days and used them for a while.
Yue Jinlong's order was passed on, and the generals of the rebel army who led the troops were all fierce, staring at the rebel soldiers, but Fan took half a step back, didn't say much, the weapon in his hand was cut off according to his head, blood splashed, and his brain burst, and the surrounding rebels were suddenly frightened, trembling, and the thoughts of turning his head and running were quickly dispelled, and he arched forward one after another.
With the deserters to open the knife, the morale temporarily rose a little, and under the charge of the five hundred halberders and cavalry, these temporarily gathered villagers and people were still like paper paste, and they would be broken when they were touched.
Under the darkness of the night, outside the city of Guanguang.
The victory on the battlefield gradually tilted in favor of the officers and soldiers.
The little leader of the rebel infantry who killed the rebels who fled down the city wall climbed the city wall, stood beside Zhao Que, and asked, "Do you see what's coming?"
Zhao Que glanced at him and said respectfully: "It's too far away, I can't really see it." ”
Naturally, he could see what was happening on the battlefield.
With about 2,000 cavalry and 500 halberders, the rest of the officers and troops advanced in an orderly manner, and in a few moments, it was the time when the officers and troops were completely exerted, at that time, even if the rebels had five more sword immortals, at most the rebels would not be wiped out, and they could no longer be like the five sword immortals who suddenly appeared just now, causing a certain tilt to the battle situation between the two armies.
A few martial artists in the rivers and lakes, on the battlefield, a drop in the ocean, can not play much role, unless it is the great master of the three realms on the top of the mountain, especially since the second realm of the mountain top of the glazed realm, with his own strength, it is enough to affect the battle situation, the martial artists of the three realms of the mountains and lakes are called half-immortals in the world, strictly speaking, the great masters of the three realms on the top of the mountains are more like immortals.
The unwritten rules of the world's rivers and lakes restrain the martial arts masters above the three realms of the mountain top, and they are never allowed to participate in the battlefield fighting.
"You're not an ordinary person. "He had just slashed a man, and he smelled of blood.
Zhao Que smiled disappreciatively: "Down there is an ordinary person." ”
"No, when you were young enough to see me slash and kill that deserter, you were not moved, as if you were used to seeing this kind of thing. This person changed his weapon, picked up two swords out of nowhere, clenched his left and right hands, and looked at the battlefield attentively.
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Zhao Que a chance to speak, and said with a smile: "You're here to kill, right?"
Zhao Que was very frank and bowed his head, "Yes, I really came here to kill people." ”
"The lord who is an official?"
"Who among the people of Nanyangzhou doesn't want to kill those who are officials?" Zhao Que asked curiously.
The man pointed to himself: "I don't want to." ”
"Oh, why?" Zhao Que was slightly surprised.
"Although these people are doing a lot of work, let alone the people's blue sky master, and they are no different from bandits, but they have to be kept, they are officials, they have enough experience in officialdom, they know what to take and what not to take, and if they are replaced by others, they may be even more greedy. ”
"Are you saying that it is not the local officials who caused Nanyangzhou to be so miserable, but the imperial court?" Zhao Que asked sharply.
The man said, "Of course, the imperial court and the current Son of Heaven are guilty, and the sin is not small, but it is not necessarily their fault. ”
"Speaking of which, whose fault is it?" Zhao Que asked amusedly.
This person's idea was peculiar, and he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
The little leader of the rebel army said seriously: "Everyone in the world is guilty, no one can escape, I have been thinking about what is going on in the world since the year before last, pondering, pondering, pondering, pondering, no one is innocent, and any snowflake under the avalanche is at fault." ”
Zhao Que asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
"Let me ask you, why did you let the court raise taxes for the world?"
He asked himself.
"Aside from the Son of Heaven's spending on pleasure, the four realms of southern Xinjiang, Xisai, the north, and the East China Sea, the perennial use of troops is also the main reason, of course, officials are corrupt, flattering and bullying, there is also this reason, but compared with the four realms of soldiers, horses, and food, corruption is not a big deal. The reason why I say that the current situation is the fault of all people is that the people of the world have not calmed the border troubles, but have allowed them to continue to this day, leaving endless disasters. If the border is calm, even if the bureaucrats are greedy for ink, the family desires are endless, and the Son of Heaven is indulging in enjoyment, Nanyang will not have such a catastrophe, and there will be countless victims, not to mention, four cities will rise up in succession?"
"Therefore, if you want to complain about others, you must complain about the border war disaster for a hundred years. ”
Zhao Que glanced at the little leader of the rebel army for a moment, although what he said was not to the point, he was already different from others, and told some of the stubborn diseases of Great Xia from another perspective.
"Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?" Zhao Que asked with his fists clenched.
The little leader sighed and laughed at himself: "You just call me Xiao Shi, a mortal with no ability." ”
"It turned out to be Xiao Daxia. ”
"Heroes don't dare to be. Xiao Shi was silent for a while and shook his head.
"Big brother, the king has an order, let's go up. ”
A little minion ran up the city wall in a hurry, his face was extremely ugly, he must have known that the situation on the battlefield was not good for the rebels, and if he went on now, it would be tantamount to sending him to death.
Xiao Shi groaned for a while, glanced at Zhao Que, turned around and whispered a few words in the little minion's ear, and then returned to Zhao Que's side, "Guess what I said, don't pretend to me, I understand that you are not an ordinary person." ”
Zhao Que said with a smile: "Since Brother Xiao thinks that I am not an ordinary person, then I will say it bluntly, Brother Xiao must have told that person to delay the time before going to the battlefield." ”
"Oh, you are really not an ordinary person, what I said, you can guess again, why do I say that?" Xiao Shi said with a smile.
If it was someone else, he would definitely think that Xiao Shi was afraid of death.
Zhao Que said: "Wait for the king's ambush, if the ambush soldiers really have unexpected results, the eldest brother will definitely lead the troops to rush to the battlefield and take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions......"
"If the ambush has no effect on the battlefield situation, I will leave Guan Guangcheng with my brothers without looking back and go to Qingshi City. Xiao Shi said neatly what Zhao Que had never finished.
Zhao Que nodded: "This plan is decent, but it is a way to save your life in troubled times." ”
"Well, little brother continue to wait for the opportunity here, I'll go and talk to the brothers. Xiao Shi turned his head and left.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, and it is true.
This little leader of the rebel army named Xiao Shi is somewhat heroic.
Zhao Que looked down at the city gate.
Zhou Feng, who proclaimed himself the general of the North Gate, carried a machete, rode his yellow horse, and rushed to the battlefield with a dozen people.
Yue Jinlong's ambush soldiers did not come out, and these people were sent to death when they went to the battlefield.
Yue Jinlong's face turned pale, and he saw that a sword immortal who came to help was torn in half by the general in armor, "Have you made up for the number?"
The guards trembled and said, "About a thousand people have been made up." ”
"I can't wait, pass the order, don't care about the five hundred halberds and cavalry, the officers and soldiers are about to engage the forward, and when the time comes, the cavalry will have no place to move around, that is, it will be a waste of martial arts, and it will not be too late to kill them. ”
"Yes!"
The six guards hurriedly went to convey Yue Jinlong's order.
With the imposing forward rush of the officers and soldiers, the cavalry had no place to play, and under the shouts of the generals, according to his orders, they turned to the flank to attack and kill the rebels.
As for the five hundred halberds, when they entered the battle array of the righteous army, they were simply gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas, and no one could resist the strangulation of the five hundred halberds a little.
Zhao Que's attention was all on the five hundred halberds, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, but he couldn't remember which famous general's elite.
Actually, what the little leader of the righteous army said was also good, Daxia used soldiers year after year, and no one in the court could say how much money was consumed.
Looking at the defenders of large states such as Nanyangzhou, they also need to take out a part of the food and salary, and the Great Xia is at war on all sides, plus the internal stability is maintained, and no heavy taxes are levied, which is a bit unreasonable.
It's just that the tax levied today is as heavy as it is now, and it should never be.
What's more, the shortcomings exposed within Great Xia, the little boss is not in his position, no matter how much he thinks deeply, he can't think of it, according to Zhao Que's thoughts, the real fatality to Great Xia is not the war on all sides, but the internal problems, now, these shortcomings have reached the point where it is difficult to return.
The party struggle in the temple is also inextricable, a decision that benefits the world, fighting back and forth, fighting to the end, it can't be implemented no matter what, only to cancel it.
Zhao Que stared at the battlefield, his pupils shrinking.
The rebels and the officers and soldiers really fought.
However, the morale of the rebels was low when they were killed by 500 halberders and knights, but the morale of the officers and soldiers was always high.
Yue Jinlong struggled to slash and kill the vast number of officers and soldiers around, killed for a while, rolled the blade, and immediately grabbed a long sword in his hand, killed many officers and soldiers, abandoned the war horse with limited mobility, and shouted: "Brothers! Success or failure is here! No one is afraid, follow this general to kill !!."
There were few responses.
He was taken aback and looked around.
It was only the guards who fought with the officers and soldiers, and the rest of the rebels had been pushed and killed by the officers and soldiers three feet behind him.
Yue Jinlong opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
One of the guards tried his best to kill the officers and soldiers who surrounded him, broke into Yue Jinlong's side, and shouted, "My lord, what is good?"
Blood everywhere.
The vanguard of the rebel army was full of corpses, mostly villagers and ordinary people, and there were very few officers and soldiers.
Yue Jinlong took a deep breath, "Let the signal go." ”
"Yes!"
The guard took off the bow and arrow from his back, bent the bow and set the arrow, and the arrow shot into the air, exploded, and lit up half of the night.
The officers and soldiers who were quietly approaching, after the guards finished shooting arrows, slashed at his neck, and there was no accident, and the corpses of the guards were separated.
Yue Jinlong, who was fighting with the officers and soldiers who came up again, was splashed on the back of his neck by the blood of the guards, and roared loudly, sweeping the officers and soldiers to the fullest potential, and when he looked back at the corpses of the guards, his eyes immediately turned red with resentment.
This personal guard had been with him for seven or eight years, and once he was killed, Yue Jinlong was heartbroken.
"Little rabbits, Lao Tzu slaughtered you!!" Yue Jinlong roared.
"Who are you going to kill?"
From among the officers and soldiers, a general in armor slowly walked over, and it was the one who had just killed a sword immortal.
Yue Jinlong was cold from head to toe by the cold, and he was inexplicably frightened.
The general took off his mask, it was a young man, and sneered: "If you wait for you, you want to make a big Xia rebellion?" laugh off the big teeth, it's not good to learn from anyone, but to learn from the traitor in Jiang Jinzhou, if you have the ability to be a traitor, it's just a group of useless waste." ”
Yue Jinlong took a few deep breaths and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, little thief, dare to ask who General Ben is......?
Before the young general could speak, one of Yue Jinlong's personal guards turned around abruptly, rushed to kill with a sword, and the sword intent rushed into the night, and the sword qi tore apart more than a dozen officers and soldiers on both sides of the young general.
The young generals barely resisted.
The sword immortal who came out of hibernation immediately made up for another sword.
Pity this young general who should have a great future, before he could tell his name and surname to Yue Jinlong, he was pierced through the heart by an unstoppable sword of sword qi, and the sword qi shattered all internal organs, and the dead could not die anymore.
Yue Jinlong's personal guard swung another sword, and the sword qi was five or six zhang long, sweeping through the officers and soldiers, and more than a dozen people were killed and injured in an instant.
"The acting is good. She wiped her face, and the person, skin, and mask fell at her feet, and it was a young woman, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her eyes were full of sword energy.
Yue Jinlong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Sword Immortal for your help." ”
The female sword immortal looked Yue Jinlong up and down: "Life is not small, the ability is not big, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go and rectify the righteous army?"
"Yes, yes, I, I'll go. Yue Jinlong stammered back.
Looking at Yue Jinlong running towards the vanguard of the rebel army who was pushed and killed by the official army, the female sword fairy sneered disdainfully: "This young general is right, a bunch of useless waste. ”
She didn't help the sword immortal who was still fighting with the four generals of the official army, but instead shuttled through the official army in a good way, and went a few feet away in an instant, straight towards the Chinese army of the official army.
Zhao Que looked at the back of the female sword immortal, and said secretly, what a sharp sword qi.
The woman seemed to have sensed something, looked back, and saw Zhao Que holding his hand on the city wall, frowning slightly.
"Who are you?"
Gather sounds into a line.
Obviously a martial artist from the upper realm of the high pavilion, Zhao Que gave her an extremely dangerous feeling, it seemed to be ...... It seems that if there is a battle between the two, she will be the one who loses and dies.
Zhao Que said a wordless word, lip language.
The woman understood, grinned, turned her head and continued to walk towards the Chinese army.
The official army wants to capture the thief and capture the king first, why don't the rebels in Guan Guangcheng have such an idea?
Zhao Que shook his head: "Five sword immortals will be released first, so that the officers and soldiers will think that this is just this bit of bargaining chip, and then one sword immortal will be released at the right time." ”
The defenders of the original Guanguang City fought out from the rear of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and troops immediately fell into chaos.
The front army had already been inserted into the rebel army, and the Chinese army was at the front, and there was no time to take care of the rear army, which was already celebrating the victory.
The defenders of Guan Guangcheng were naturally not comparable to the troops composed of the villagers and the common people of the Caotai team, and when they broke into the rear army, they quickly killed the officers and soldiers who were bloody.
Zhao Que sighed, the opportunity came.
Jump to the bottom of the city and hold the sound of the loud voice.
In any respect, Guan Guangcheng, who has the help of six sword immortals, is not a soft bone, and Zhao Que saw it now, and guessed something in his heart, the six sword immortals are afraid that they not only support Guan Guangcheng, but also have a premeditated plan, the people of Nanyang rebel, and wherever the official army fights, they will help in the war.
I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
You can send six sword immortals, and throughout Great Xia, it will be from Xishu, which has many sword immortals in ancient times, to get out......
Ma Hechuan and Huo Fengkang were in the Chinese army, wearing armor and riding horses, listening to the scouts report on the situation of the rear army.
Huo Fengkang secretly said that it was not good.
"How many soldiers?"
"There should be four thousand. ”
"Four thousand?" Huo Fengkang lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned to Ma Hechuan and said, "Brother Ma, you sit firmly in the middle army, and I will lead some soldiers and horses to kill the thieves who are harassing the rear army." ”
The matter was already very serious, Huo Fengkang still said to Ma Hechuan that the 4,000 Guanguangcheng defenders were just invading the rear army.
Ma Hechuan showed a little panic, he was still in the army for the first time, that kind of killing atmosphere, made him frightened, as the official Zuo Langzhong, the future is promising, once the fate is not good, died in the army, the glory and wealth of this life struggle, vanished.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said: "Huo Zhoumu, please go, the Chinese army has Wenren General and my Ma Hechuan here, and it will be fine." ”
Huo Fengkang nodded solemnly: "There are two Laos, the Guan Guangcheng thief army knows a lot of methods, but they are vulnerable in front of our officers and soldiers, and now not only do they not surrender and lead the death, but they also play small means to resist to the death, see how we can break their ghost tricks, and the people of Guan Guangcheng live a peaceful life." ”
Ma Hechuan then said: "What the Huo Zhou Pastor said is good, the rebels are using clever words to confuse the people, and we must do everything we can to eliminate the evil, so that the people can understand that following the rebels is sending them to death." These demons are not for the good of the people, but for their own selfish interests!"
He said that the general Wenren bowed his head: "Let go of a good peaceful life, but you have to learn from the rebellion in Jinzhou, Jiang, it just so happened that General Ben passed through Nanyangzhou, since this is the case, I will send them to see Lord Yan, so that the life can be comfortable, is it comfortable to be a man, or is it comfortable to be a ghost?"
Huo Fengkang hugged his fists at General Wenren: "General, Benzhou Mu will lead troops to kill all the thieves who attacked the rear army, and Ma Langzhong will be handed over to the general." ”
"Don't worry, with me, Ma Lang is foolproof. Wenren General was dressed in white and white armor and white horses, looking at the battle of the strikers in the night, and said with disdain.
If he pushed all the 1,500 halberders around him, he didn't need to use the officers and soldiers of Nanyangzhou, and he could clean up the thieves by relying on his halberders.
Ma Hechuan glanced at General Baima beside him, and said with a smile: "In the past, I was in Beijing for a long time, and I only listened to the general's name, but I didn't see the general, but now I can see it, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”
"Ma Langzhong is serious, the general was ordered to go to southern Xinjiang to supervise the war, passing through Nanyangzhou to repair, met Huozhou Mu and Ma Langzhong to quell the rebellion, of course the general will not stand idly by, but unfortunately my two thousand halberds, the rapid march from the north to this place, all exhausted, now can only use five hundred halberds, kill the arrogance of the thief. General Hakuba scoffed.
Every halberd warrior is a battle-filled man, and he is selected by thousands of people, and he is confident that he will not fall behind Zhao Gouchen's barren sand ghost horse.
Ma Hechuan exclaimed: "General Wenren's halberd is the elite of the elite, I don't know how to meet the elite cavalry?"
Hearing this, people laughed: "Ma Langzhong doesn't know, my halberd warrior has a unique training method, not afraid of cavalry, and even, the halberd picks up the cavalry, chops the horse's legs, and uses it properly, even if it is Zhao Gouchen's barren sand ghost horse? It is estimated that it is also not my opponent of the halberd!"
Ma Hechuan bowed his head heavily, he didn't have the slightest good impression of Cisse, and he also felt comfortable when he heard that General Ren belittled the Desert Sand Ghost Rider like this.
However, after all, Zhao Gouchen is now the general of the auxiliary state of the current dynasty, even if he has no military power in his hands, it is not something that the two of them can discuss, Ma Hechuan changed his words, "Yu Jialing was transferred from southern Xinjiang to the East China Sea Division to help in the war, but General Wenren was transferred from the north to southern Xinjiang to supervise the war, is there something strange that Ma is not clear during the period?"
General Wenren was straightforward and said: "Ma Langzhong doesn't know that in the past two months, there have been frequent strange troop transfers in southern Xinjiang, and the military department is afraid that there will be an accident, so he ordered the two thousand halberd soldiers who heard the people to go to southern Xinjiang to sit in the town and suppress Xiahou's thoughts. ”
"General Yu also has elite soldiers, and he was stationed outside Jinlu City a few days ago. Ma Hechuan was even more skeptical.
Hearing this, he snorted, and when he mentioned Yu Jialing, his tone slowed down a lot, "Southern Xinjiang has a ghost in his heart, and he constantly uses tricks to kill the elite of General Yu, right now, General Yu is only afraid that the original elite has lost a lot, and compared with the previous peak combat power, it has declined a lot." ”
