Chapter 239: Battle of Xiangyang (5)

The moon and stars are scarce, rare sunny weather, on the hill, several Zhou military sentry riders sit back to back around a big tree, a fire is lit in the middle, the weather is a little colder than when it is not snowing, the old soldier He Shiwen stretched out his hands and baked beside the fire for a while, the frozen blood was activated, the nose gently exhaled a few traces of white gas, occasionally looked up at the sky, and complained:

"This ghost weather, it's getting colder and colder, the river in front of Xiangyang City, it is estimated that it will be blocked early tomorrow morning......"

"It's not, it's a cold day, and we were sent by the general to keep an eye on us, we're too unlucky......"

"Who told us to be soldiers? No matter if it's windy or rainy, even if the Lord asks us to jump off the oil pot, we can only jump down obediently......"

"This unlucky ......"

"Don't complain, Deng County still doesn't know what's going on, those Qi people can call at any time, it's not ......too much to be careful."

As he spoke, a Zhou pawn sneakily probed his brain and said, "Alas, have you heard, our General Yuwen and General Yuwen don't deal with each other......"

He Shiwen was older, frowned, and asked, "There are so many people with the surname Yuwen above us, which one and that?" ”

"Alas, it's General Yuwenxin and Weiguo Gong Yuwenzhi, I heard that they quarreled early this morning."

Another person interjected: "I heard that there is such a thing, I heard that General Yuwenxin took a fancy to a woman and was given a head start by Grandpa Weiguo." ”

"Hey, no, no, General Yuwen is not such a person," the man shook his head desperately, "What I heard is that Wei Guogong violated military regulations and robbed a woman into the barracks, and after General Yuwen found out, he found out where the woman was and chopped her ...... directly."

"Hiss......," someone sucked in the cool air, "General Yuwen really dares?" ”

"What would he not dare? Yin Ren's entry into the barracks is unknown, he is right, according to the temper of our General Yuwen, let alone Yuwen Zhi, even Otsuka Zai and His Majesty He can scold a bloody dog......" The sentry pouted, obviously not interested in the commander Yuwenzhi.

He Shiwen is older and has a lot of experience, and he said with a smile: "But Wei Guogong is the boss in the end, General Yuwen is happy to do this, and then Wei Guogong has to find him unhappy...... You didn't see that the camp was obviously outside Xiangyang City, but there was no movement for two days, do you know why? ”

"Why?" The people around him showed an expression of eagerness for knowledge, which greatly satisfied He Shiwen's vanity, he patted his thigh, showed a mysterious smile in the style of Mona Lisa, raised the water bladder and drank a sip of water, smashed it and smashed it, everyone's eyes blinked, thinking that he was about to speak, just moved a few steps forward, he raised the water bladder and took another sip......

The pie saw that the robes around him were on fire, and he really wanted to punch him on his huge head with a face full of flesh.

After Lao He finished his work, he smashed his mouth comfortably, and said with a gesture of pointing at the country:

"This is Wei Guogong disarming General Yuwen, do you know? This is revenge...... The more General Yuwen urged him, the more he stayed where he was, making excuses to prevaricate and not enter the city, do you think, his front army and the Chinese army did not enter the city, General Yuwen They took the partial army, dare to advance? If he dares, it will be dealt with by military law! ”

Hearing the word military law, the people around him had an unclear feeling, Lao He thought about it again, "Outside the city, the food and drink of those partial armies are all stuck by the Chinese army, he said that if he doesn't give a tune, then he won't give a tune, hehe, there is always a time when General Yuwen puts down his body and begs him in a low voice......"

"Good girl, the people up there are so yin?"

"We Qiu Bacai licked the blood from the knife edge for a long time, and the people above were all moving their mouths, what is the saying...... Toil...... Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, this is the truth. ”

"Old He, do you still know this?" There were people around him who cast adoring glances, and Lao He's vanity skyrocketed, pretending to be modest and waving his hand, "Alas, when I was a child, I also read books for a few years......"

"You are so capable, why did you come to be a soldier?"

Lao He's face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver, and he held back a sentence for a while: "Don't mention the past, don't ...... it."

There was a lot of laughter all around, which was really fucking relieved.

In the fire, the flames devoured the dry wood, crackling and rattling. Lao He didn't know what he remembered, and looked around suspiciously, "Lao Li, they haven't come back from their night patrol for so long?" Only then did everyone realize that it was already past the time to change the guard, "Probably on the way?" When Lao He heard this, he smiled and said, "So long? Don't freeze the birds down there......"

The people around laughed for a while, and gradually stopped laughing. The light of the fire changed on the faces of the people around him, and even the wind and clouds in the sky revealed an ominous atmosphere.

Lao He's face suddenly turned hideous, the long knife came out of the sheath, and shouted, "Get on the horse!" ”

It was too late, and a feathered arrow flew out of the dark and dense forest, piercing the snow on the ground and splashing a cloud of snow foam.

Subsequently, a large number of figures surrounded the hill.

………………

"I always feel like there's something wrong there......"

There were night birds flying overhead.

Yuwenxin tightened the reins, listened attentively, looked at the sky, his battalion soldiers and horses changed to the north of Xiangyang, and looked across the river from here, the river was frozen, Yuwenxin came out to patrol the camp at night, and suddenly felt a little bad.

Although Yu Wenxin is not as good as those veterans now, his keen perception of danger is not inferior, and he vaguely feels that something seems to be happening in front of him.

The fire of the large camp in the distance behind has not been extinguished, the stars are scattered on the fertile field, extending into the distance little by little, the camp of tens of thousands of soldiers, at this moment in his eyes is strange and weird, the sentry has no reply, the camp is also normal, there is no camp roar and anything like that, so, what is the problem there?

He rode his horse a few laps, looked around, then jumped off his horse, swept away the snow from the ground, pressed his face to the ground, and listened carefully to the sound of the ground, and there was a dull, drum-like vibration,...... It's massive cavalry!

"- General be careful!!" When Yuwenxin was listening, there was a scream in the air that tore through the air, and the guard-wearing guard burst into a shout, instinctively stretched out his arm, and blocked an arrow for Yuwenxin, the thick arrow shaft sank into the arm, and crossed out from the joint, and the guard's complexion became distorted. Yuwen Xin rolled a donkey and got up from the ground, blocked himself with a war horse, and slashed an arrow shot directly in front of him with a knife......

"Fuck ......, Qi people are attacking at night!"

A dirty word popped out of Yuwen Xin's teeth, several war horses attacked, he swung his knife to meet it, the sound of the collision of swords and soldiers was sharp and piercing, and the group was oppressed by the Qi people. Yu Wenxin led a team of guards to fight hard, killing several Qi army sentry horsemen, buying a little time for himself.

"Get on the horse! Go back to the other side! ”

"Kill!"

"β€”don't let them go!"

The scouts of the Qi people quickly reacted, and the war horses ran and surrounded again. The two sides briefly collided together again, and a scout of the Qi army saw Yuwen Xin and wanted to rush over, but was immediately blocked by a personal guard, and the Qi people had just stabbed the spear into the chest of the personal guard, and a steel knife slashed down from above, and the steel knife cut his shoulder, stuck in the bone, and then grabbed the personal guard, and fell off the horse together...... At the moment of the collision, the two sides each paid several casualties, Yuwen Xin drove the war horse to fight back and forth in the battle circle with the guards, in the distance, more scouts were coming in a steady stream, Yu Wenxin knew that he could not fight at this time, and took the guards to turn around and break through.

The sky was hazy, and above the fertile field, a Jedi chase was staged, and the scouts of the Qi army in the rear continued to merge into the pursuit team, and small-scale battles were inevitable. When they arrived at the ice, there were only a dozen people left around Yu Wenxin, and there were hundreds of Qi scouts chasing him.

"Dismount, dismount! Regroup! "The Qi scouts are obviously experienced, the ice is very slippery, people ride on horses, nine times out of ten they have to wrestle, fall off the horse is either dead or disabled, and walking is more reliable. How could Yu Wenxin not understand the truth that the scout understands? He got off his horse early, tore a strip of cloth from his clothes, tied a steel knife to his hand, and walked on the ice as he went.

Qi people gradually caught up, Yuwen Xin glanced back, "Their formation is too loose, shoot at their sides, force them to concentrate in the middle......" A large number of shadows of the Zhou army have appeared on the opposite side, they know the abnormality on the opposite side, and come to the rescue, the Qi army scouts stopped again, Yuwen Xin was a little regretful, gritted his teeth and said: "Wait for them to get closer, Lao Tzu has a way to clean them up!" ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of a marching horn over the cold and lonely fertile field, Yu Wenxin's face changed greatly, and the faces of the scouts on the ice also changed and changed, and finally they all held a small shield and a long knife, and continued to march towards this side, but instead of chasing Yu Wenxin, a fat fish, they formed an orderly marching array, intricately arranged.

Zhou Jun looked at their rear in confusion, not understanding what was happening, at this time, the sky had already revealed a touch of fish white, opposite, the corpses on the river bank extended backwards in various postures, at the end of the line of sight, the black armor and red silk armor horses poured into the opposite river bank like a tide......

A black background silver dragon pattern handsome flag separated this black tide, under the handsome flag, the general wearing Xuan armor rode a war horse slowly, his war horse was a cut higher than everyone else, when he stepped on the snow, the nose spewed out two clouds of white gas, and the mane at the neck of the horse danced like a wild lion, where is the horse? This is clearly a ferocious beast! The man sitting on top of the beast wore a hideous ghost face.

- Gao Changgong!!

Yuwen Xin's pupils shrank, and then shouted at Zhou Jun, who was stunned in front: "Hold them down!" "Then he ran on the ice." How could Gao Changgong's movements be so fast? At this time, the Qi army went south, and it was clear that they were here to sneak attack and rob the city! Can't let him get his way! When he had climbed ashore, he took a horse, and without looking back, he hurried in the direction of the camp. The rest of the Zhou army was faced with such a huge cavalry team, it was simply heartbreaking, the two forces were fighting, and they couldn't even hold the bow and arrows steadily, and after shooting a few arrows scattered, they could no longer stop the pace of these scouts who were the vanguard of the team.

"Shrink the line! Formation, fend off the enemy! Colonel Zhou Jun mustered up his courage and gathered the array together. On the opposite side, the Qi people took off their bows and arrows, and moved forward in a neat array, their thick cowhide boots stepped on the ice, making a huge rumbling sound, and suddenly stopped, pulling the bow like a full moon, and the Zhou army only heard a buzzing sound, and a black cloud rose from the sky over there, and the long arrows were slaughtered like a dense rainstorm......

………………

Yu Wenxin fled all the way back to the Chinese army camp in embarrassment.

"General Yuwen, what's wrong?" Lu Tong hurriedly stepped over.

Yuwen Xin glanced at them, and didn't stop under his feet, "When I went out to patrol the camp last night, I encountered a large force of Qi troops, and the Qi people went south to Xiangyang, and Gao Changgong came!" Lu Tong opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time, Yuwenxin said: "I don't have time to say anything to you now, I'll go to the general, you quickly mobilize soldiers and horses to guard the camp, in addition, let Tian Hong take people into Xiangyang to defend the city, be quick!" Lu Tong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yu Wenxin's sharp eyes swept over, "General Lu, time is not waiting for me, in extraordinary times, there is no need to ask the general!" If Xiangyang is lost, the overall situation will be irretrievable! You tell Tian Hong now, the general asked him to take the soldiers of his headquarters and immediately transfer to Xiangyang, quickly! ”

After Yuwenxin walked away, Lu Tong hesitated, clenched his fists, waved his big hand, turned around and shouted: "Drum and gather generals!" Armament war! The drum rumbled, sounding over the barracks, and there were soldiers running in a hurry everywhere, and Yu Wenxin also ran along, just hoping that he would be faster! Before Gao Changgong grabs the city, I hope everything is still in time!

"What's going on?! Without Ben Shuai's order, who would dare to gather generals! Yuwen came straight with a team of personal soldiers, the armor on his body was sparse, it could be seen that it was temporarily put on in a hurry, and the entire battalion suddenly broke out of his control, which made his mood extremely complicated at the moment, and he was extremely angry and worried, could it be that the battalion mutinied? The thought crossed his mind.

Seeing Yuwen Xin panting like a cow, he suddenly shouted: "Yu Wenxin, what happened ahead?" ”

Yu Wenxin didn't care about it with him at this time, and arched his hand and said: "General Yu, Gao Changgong is crossing the river and attacking!" ”

Like a heavy hammer smashed on Yu Wenzhi's head, he was almost unsteady on his feet, and exclaimed, "How did Gao Changgong come?" What about our Sentinels? What about our camp of 1,000 on the other side? It's all dead! ”

"It's all dead! What the last general saw with his own eyes, Gao Changgong's handsome banner was in the Qi army, it couldn't be wrong! ”

Yuwen was crumbling, several guards hurriedly supported him, Yuwen Xin stepped forward and said: "General, hurry up and gather soldiers and horses to fight out of the camp!" Gao Changgong only has a few thousand people, and he can't afford to fight with us! If it's too late, if he really grabs Xiangyang City, then everything will be over! ”

These words were like a shot of heart booster for Yuwenzhi, which made him sober up, he trembled all over, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you have to block Gao Changgong, you have to block Gao Changgong......"

He stepped forward, but he didn't know why he suddenly cramped, and almost fell into the mud, and got up from the ground with a disgraced face, his legs still unsteady on his feet, and roared at the guards:

"Why don't you help me over, are they all dead?"

In the military formation of tens of thousands of people, the change in the atmosphere is actually very obvious, and the commotion and panic will cause a series of chain reactions, and the Zhou army is now restless. The sudden attack of the Qi people caught everyone off guard. If this kind of atmosphere is not contained, it will soon turn into a mass rout of hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people, and there is no reason at all, just like a spark on a cotton rope attached to a powder keg, and if it is not extinguished, the result will be crushed. Fortunately, Lu Tong's veterans quickly made arrangements and preparations, and the riot gradually fell silent.

Until Yuwenxin led a battalion of Zhou troops to the battlefield, the discussion was still ringing.

"What's going on?" Soldiers were looking ahead in the midst of the march, and at the edge of the long line, there were sentinels galloping with heralds.

"Qi people are here." It was said.

At this point, anyone can guess what is going on, the military formations on the front line are quickly assembled, the horn sounds, and the sentinels who give orders are speeding back and forth...... The footsteps of thousands or tens of thousands of people resounded at the same time in the early morning, spreading like ripples of water waves.

A sentry rode desperately, "The Qi army has arrived!" ”

Before the words were finished, far away, on the small hill in that place, the Qi army like a sea tide poured up from the other side of the hill, it was the cavalry of the Qi people, under the morning light, I don't know how many troops rushed to this side.

Yu Wenxin pulled out the knife in his sheath and shouted, "-Formation!" The hundreds of people at the front of the Zhou army shouted in unison, "-formation!" "The shields were raised, the spears were like a forest, facing the front, the second column of infantry armor was in place, and the third column of crossbowmen was in place...... Then, the fourth, fifth, and sixth columns, ......, formed an impenetrable array of thousands of armies in the wilderness.

"Thanks to General Yuwen, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Lu Tong gasped and exclaimed. Yu Wenzhi's face darkened for a moment, and then he looked at the Qi army opposite, and gradually turned white again, "The Qi people are so powerful, can our army resist it?" "The Qi people on the opposite side are all heavily armoured, and their combat power is a little higher than these Zhou troops? Once the heavy cavalry tears apart the array of foot soldiers, a one-sided slaughter awaits you!

Yu Wenzhi even suspected that Gao Changgong had brought the Xianbei Hundred Guarantees of Qi State, and he was in the midst of the guards of ten thousand armies, but now he had an urge to turn around and run.

Gao Changgong glanced down indifferently, waved his horsewhip, and the cavalry on the left and right began to move, the long lance was like a forest, and the cavalry formed two huge awls on both sides, approached in the middle, and rushed towards the Zhou army.

After Yu Wenxin retreated to the sixth row, he was still in a very high position.

"-Hold on!"

The drums of war were like thunder, and the two giant beasts fought together.
