Chapter 118: Yucheng

When the two armies were fighting, the enemy's trumpet sounded, and the southern barbarian war beast also began to move, only to see the beast master on its back rushing towards the Jin army array under the control of the beast master. The Jin army is naturally also greeted by arrows, but unfortunately this beast has rough skin and thick flesh, and is not moved at all, and the beast master on the back of the beast is also wearing heavy armor and shields, and is basically immune to the Jin army's arrows.

Seeing this situation, the Jin army immediately sent heavy crossbowmen to snipe, and the heavy crossbowmen were also the elite of the Jin army, although they were armed with crossbow arrows, they were also wearing heavy armor, and they belonged to the all-round type of troops, and they could hit the enemy from afar, and they could draw their knives to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy.

I saw a round of arrow rain of crossbowmen fired a horizontal salvo, and many war beast knights were shot off their horses in the mountain puppet, this crossbow arrow was powerful and heavy, and it was close to shooting, even if it was wearing heavy armor, it was not necessarily able to withstand it, although it achieved a lot of results, but it still could not stop the charge of the war beast legion.

The Southern Barbarian War Beast rushed into the Jin army's formation with heavy steps like a heavy tank, rushing in all directions, and smashing the Jin army's heavy infantry phalanx to pieces, and the barbarian soldiers who followed in the rear took the opportunity to cover up and kill.

At this time, a horn sounded in the camp of Deng Qi's army, and the Jin army changed formations, making way for the war beast to attack, and dozens of warriors flew up and attacked the beast master on the war beast with a spear lasso.

The barbarian soldiers who followed up in the rear were intercepted by the heavy infantry of the Jin army, and at this time, the mountain puppet beast master also waved his sword and held a shield to resist, but his two fists were invincible and the four palms were still pulled down by everyone.

After the beast master on the beast was cut off the horse, the war beast suddenly became panicked and uncontrollable, and ran into the jungle in a panic after breaking free from the crowd.

Mu Sheng was amazed in his heart, it turned out that the weakness of this war beast was the beast master on his back?

Just now, the disturbance of the Southern Barbarian War Beast, the Jin army array was also chaotic, and the two sides were scuffled together for a while, and then the horn sounded in the Jin army, and then began to retreat in an orderly manner in an attempt to reorganize the military formation.

The enemy saw that the Jin army was in chaos, and the two armies fought for a morning, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the two armies were exhausted, so they finally retreated from each other.

Mu Sheng looked at the battlefield where there were wailing all over the field, the corpses were spread all over the ground, blood was flowing everywhere, and the ground was full of disabled soldiers screaming non-stop, this is war. Especially in the era of cold weapons, the scenes of war are particularly bloody and cruel

Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng couldn't let go of it for a long time, although this was not the first time he went to the battlefield, but the war of this era still had a big impact on his heart.

The two armies confronted each other, and they all tacitly agreed to truce and begin to collect the corpses of their own men and horses, the Jin army's casualties were more serious than the light infantry wearing half armor and holding spears, although the heavy armor soldiers rushed to the front line, but the whole body was like a tin can, as long as the army formation was not chaotic, it was difficult to be killed, and many of the dead and wounded were also killed by blunt weapon blows and shattered their internal organs, or were killed by the enemy's war beast charge.

There are also many heavy infantry who lie upright on the ground motionless after the battle, and when they go to collect the corpses, they find that they are alive, but they are completely out of strength and can't stand up, after all, it is extremely physically exhausting to fight in heavy armor.

Mu Sheng was condescending and observed a battle, and he found that in reality, the defensive power of this armor is really not covered, a bit of Iron Man is in it, it can be said to be invulnerable, I feel that the sand sculpture plot in the previous film and television dramas, even if a suit of armor is still put down, it is impossible in reality.

The reality of the situation is that even if someone is nailed like a hedgehog by an arrow, it is still not a big problem for a person to take off his armor. No wonder the imperial court strictly forbade the people to make armor privately, and the violators were regarded as complicity in the rebellion, but the weapons were not much controlled, and now it seems that this full-body armor is the trump card artifact on the battlefield.

It's late, after the two sides collect the troops, bury the pot and make rice, the whole army rests, and fights again in the coming day, the overall Jin army has a slight advantage after the short battle, after all, the level of weapons and equipment is much higher than the enemy, even if the Jin army comes from afar, the division veterans are tired, and the enemy army is not allowed to please him.

Mu Sheng, as a rearguard force, idle the rear, and immediately began to retreat and build barracks after the armistice between the two sides, until the two sides fought together again, and the rearguard team could only watch the battle.

In the evening, after the camp was built, Deng Qi ordered Mu Sheng's headquarters to dig a circle of trenches around the enemy in front to prevent the enemy from attacking at night.

After Mu Sheng received the order, seeing this posture, it is possible that the army will not directly attack the city, and the main task is to besiege Yucheng and send reinforcements.

He subconsciously looked up at the cliffs around Yucheng, and thought to himself, this city may only be able to be defeated by immortals, and I don't know what tricks General Lu will have to take this city?

After the fortifications were built, the army gradually withdrew into the camp and fortified itself, gradually regaining its morale.

When night falls, the top of Yucheng Mountain is also brightly lit, and under the cover of night and mountain fog, Yucheng looks like a palace floating in the sky from a distance......

At this time, Deng Qibu General Ma Fu came to visit.

Ma Fu came to the camp, and Mu Sheng came out of the tent to greet him: "It turned out to be Ma Duwei, now that the war is urgent, Ma Duwei actually dares to leave his post and come to my camp without permission?" ”

Ma Fu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, today I am the vanguard, my department has lost hundreds of brothers, and it has been transferred to the rear to rest, and tomorrow it is time for Captain Zhang to lead the army to the top." ”

Mu Shengqi said: "Why did Captain Ma come here today? ”

Ma Fu smiled and said, "Changpingjun, I beg you for one thing." ”

Mu Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's easy to say, they are all colleagues in the army, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ma Fu said with a smile: "Changpingjun must be a little boring to stay in the rear, right?" ”

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Then you still need to say?" The military order is like a mountain, even if I have the intention to kill the enemy and serve the country, but without General Deng's general order, my department will not be able to play! ”

Ma Fu scratched his head and said, "Changpingjun, I don't know if I should talk about a suggestion or not?" ”

Mu Sheng smiled: "Ma Duwei, how do you talk around as a martial artist?" If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart, what kind of bend is it? ”

Ma Fu saw that he was rude, and laughed: "Haha! Changpingjun is really happy, and he wants to borrow soldiers here. ”

"Borrowed soldiers?"

Ma Fu said: "Yes, borrow troops, Changpingjun, in fact, I also know that you have been wronged by letting you stay in the rear, but my general also has many difficulties, and I ask Changpingjun to forgive me, but there is a plan in the bottom, which can not only allow Changpingjun to fight hard to gain military merits, but also do not have to be really in danger." ”

Mu Shengqi said: "Oh? Is there such a good thing in the world? ”

Ma Fu smiled and arched his hand: "Changpingjun, as long as you lend me a thousand heavy armored soldiers under you, and wait for the day after tomorrow when my department is finished resting and rushing up to kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor, this credit will naturally be credited to Changpingjun you, and you don't really need to go into battle to kill the enemy, what do you think?" ”

Mu Sheng said helplessly: "You are right, so that you can explain to the top and bottom." ”

Before the words fell, Mu Sheng said in a serious tone: "Captain Madu, I'm afraid this is also what General Deng meant, right?" ”

Ma Fu pondered for a long time and admitted: "Uh! Changping Jun is aware of everything, it is indeed the meaning of my general, Changping Jun, I am really sorry, I have said hello above, General Deng can't help it, to be honest, the five thousand elites under your hands have been put behind to guard the grain and grass, and it is a waste of ......"

Mu Sheng said with a stern face: "I know your difficulties, but since the eldest husband is in the army to serve the country, how can he hide in the rear and watch Pao Ze fight bravely to kill the enemy, but he himself sits back and enjoys the success?" ”

"How can I stand up in the hearts of all the soldiers in the future? I won't borrow any soldiers, Captain Madu, you tell General Deng for me, if you are willing to let me go into battle to kill the enemy, I will not refuse, Captain Bendu will not avoid the axe as a soldier, if the general and General Deng are afraid of being involved, I can make a military order now, even if the horse leather shroud has nothing to do with the general. ”

Ma Fu also wanted to persuade him.

Mu Sheng waved his hand and said: "Ma Duwei, I understand your kindness, this is a matter of principle, I will not back down half a step, besides, Your Majesty has many heirs in his old family, there are not many more than me, and there is no less than me, if it is this war, I will only be worthy of following the army to eat ashes, and when this monarch returns to the court, I will also tell His Majesty the truth." ”

Ma Fu opened his mouth for a while and said, "Hey! …… Changping-kun... You ......"

Mu Sheng's tone softened and said, "Captain Madu, just tell General Deng what he said." ”

After hearing this, Ma Fu had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay! Changpingjun, since the monarch insists on this, I can only tell my general the truth. ”

Ma Fu said goodbye and left, on the way Ma Fu couldn't help but slander in his heart, it seems that this son really wants to make some achievements, but it's not a show, hey! It's hard to wait!

Ma Fu what they are most afraid of is this kind of stunned young man who was born noble and really wants to do performance, he doesn't want to give credit for nothing, he has to come in person, if he really stabs the big basket, they have to bear the blame for the people below, hey! Bitter life......

Ma Fu left Mu Sheng's camp and immediately rushed to Deng Qi's camp.

Seeing this, Deng Qi asked Ma Fudao, "How is it?" Did the little ancestor promise you? ”

Ma Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and told Deng Qi about the conversation with Mu Sheng just now, Deng Qi frowned and paced back and forth in the camp tent after hearing this, as if the big war in front of him was difficult to solve without Changpingjun's matter.

Seeing this, Ma Fu complained: "Having said that, isn't the relationship between General Deng and General Shang usually very good? Why do you have to stuff this hot potato into us? Wouldn't it be better to give the right army to Don Jaw? ……”

Deng Qi lamented: "Hey! It is precisely because I have a good relationship with the general that the general can rest assured that this little ancestor will be sent to me here, if it is really sent to Tang Jaw's two stunned tents, with his temperament, he will not care what kind of Changpingjun or short-Pingjun you are, and directly send you to the front line to go desperately...... Tell me, isn't this adding to the general's intentions? In case Chang Pingjun really has a good thing in Tang Jaw, it will be a disaster that pours the sky! I'm afraid that even the general won't be able to carry the ...... then."

Ma Fu also sighed and said: "General, how can Changping Jun have such an attitude today?" ”

Deng Qi frowned and walked around irritably, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.

Deng Qi said: "It seems that you can't keep pressing Changping Jun like this, he is young and vigorous, and it's not good to go on like this, so let Changping Jun's department go to Lingxi to garrison to defend against the sneak attack of the Southern Barbarian Alliance, and give him another 2,000 men and ......horses in case of emergency."

Ma Fu smiled when he heard this: "The general is smart, this is fine, although it will definitely encounter a sneak attack by a small group of troops from the Southern Barbarians, but in this battle of Yucheng, the main force of the mountain puppets is pressed here, it should not be a big deal, and it can also make this little ancestor addicted." ”

Early the next morning, Mu Sheng was called into the Deng Qi military camp to listen to the order, and Mu Sheng thought to himself that maybe his words yesterday still had some effect.

Deng Qi saw Mu Sheng coming to report, and said in a serious tone: "Captain Mu received the order, and your subordinates went to Lingxi to be responsible for defending against the sneak attack of the Southern Barbarian Coalition Army. ”

Mu Sheng said: "The last general is ordered. ”

The military order was like a mountain, and he had no choice but to step forward and respectfully take the general order to garrison Lingxi, and when he came out of Deng Qi's camp, he looked at the order in his hand, but shook his head with a wry smile, hey! It can't be helped, and now it's all there is to it.

It is actually very difficult to consider from their standpoint, Mu Sheng had no choice but to take his team to the rear to guard the grain road, and in the end he had to accept the reality and delegate himself from the tail of the first-line crane to the second-line troops......
