Chapter 288: The Great General Arrives
The commander led the troops to hurry back to the pass, just silent on the way, this time the plan was implemented very smoothly at the beginning, although he only had 300,000 troops against the opponent's army of more than 2 million, but through the intelligence of the spies and the understanding of the other party's generals, he did his best, so that the other party could not hold out, so that the two families according to their own plan, the confrontation did not fight, and held each other for several months. Just when he saw that his army was about to attack the capital of the other party and complete the predetermined goal, it was reported that the prodigy in the army in the Wuling Kingdom appeared, which made the king and the commander who commanded the entire campaign very shaken, and later said that it was impossible to lead the army, which made everyone relieved and continued to carry out the plan. But just like that, the whole battlefield is always incomprehensible and endlessly troublesome. Although the opponent on his side is a greedy person who is afraid of death, but the defense is indeed tight, although the two sides are safe, but this guy falsely reported the military situation, provoking Wu Lingguo to increase troops on the east and west fronts at the same time, I don't know how this general who is afraid of death has disappeared, and feels that his opponent has changed people, but because of the strict blockade of the other party, he still doesn't know who is coming, but he feels full of a very dangerous atmosphere, so that he has begun to worry about the 300,000 troops. The other party is an army of millions, and once the two families clash, their own strength is simply not enough for the other party to plug their teeth. This time I went to the front line to inspect because the spies came to report that the other party had changed its commander and was rearming for war. After on-the-spot observation, the commander of the other party who came this time was definitely his fierce enemy, and after a short period of rectification, the entire barracks was full of high morale, and he changed the calm mode of the past, which made him anxious all the time. The battle situation on his side is already very dangerous, but the war on the Eastern Front has been defeated by the stubborn commander of the Eastern Front three times in a row since the military intelligence report some time ago, and then he suffered defeat again. I don't know how the progress is now, if the war on the eastern front is going well, the opponent's capital should be taken at this time, and he should break through the opponent's defense line with the army gathered in the future, forming a two-sided attack. can see the morale of the opposing army, and it doesn't look like the capital has been breached, so what is going on in the war on the eastern front. How come there is no news of these millions of troops, that is, there is no movement of the other party. I don't see any reports in this regard.
When the commander was meditating, he had already seen the pass where he was stationed, and everyone was relieved, this continuous high-intensity march, everyone also felt very tired, and when approaching the pass, a general suddenly said: "It seems that something is wrong with the situation, the commander-in-chief has arrived, why don't you see the person who opened the door to greet him." ”
Another general said, "It depends on who stays at the pass." The one who stayed. If he can take the initiative to greet him, it will be a big strange thing in the world. ”
As he spoke, the commander-in-chief suddenly raised his head and saw that there was no one on the city gate. There was no movement, and he said to the surrounding generals: "I'm afraid something is wrong, inform the troops to disperse." As he spoke, the soldiers in the rear came running over to report to the commander. Behind the army, the opposing cavalry appeared, and they were chasing and killing step by step, and the wounded behind were basically gone. The commander looked at the gate of the pass in confusion. The herald ordered the army to retreat and assemble in formation. Just as the commander could finish speaking, there was a sound of arrows on the city gate, and the gate of the pass was opened with a bang, and a large group of soldiers ran out of it. A large number of soldiers armed with bows and arrows also appeared on the city gates. The commander looked at these soldiers with red tassels on their heads, dressed in black, and powerful armor, and his heart "chuckled", and a cold and fearful feeling spread from his feet to the top of his head, and his mind immediately flashed to the army that he had seen in the intelligence, which was rumored to be built by the mysterious prodigy in the Wuling Kingdom, which could defeat several times the opponent's army. But what I can't understand is where these daunting troops came out and how they came to the pass where they were stationed. Just when the commander was stunned, there were already thousands of arrows on the pass, and the rain of arrows was like a rain of arrows covering himself, and several generals and guards around the commander desperately protected the commander. The commander looked at the generals and guards who kept falling beside him, struggling to break free and protect his generals and soldiers, not wanting them to become the target of others in order to protect him. At this time, a general rushed to the front of the commander, made up for the vacancy of the guards who had just fallen, and was instantly shot by a rain of arrows, and the general struggled and said to the commander: "Take care, as long as you are here, these soldiers have the backbone, not scattered sand, there is hope, go quickly." ”
The commander looked at the general, who was already dying, but his eyes were still open, and stopped struggling and let the crowd pull him back into the crowd of the army. Not far from their exit, a rumbling drum sounded above the pass, and in the thrilling sound of the drum, the opposing army's army began to walk towards them at a normal speed. At this time, the commander stood down, and looked at this strange unit with strange equipment and strange attack, and did not run and charge as usual, but took a firm step, and walked towards the opposing army's formation with the sound of drums. At this time, several generals led several teams of soldiers, bravely rushing towards the opposing army, making a final desperate fight. But the commander was stunned for a while, and the generals and soldiers who rushed forward saw that they were falling one by one as soon as they came into contact with the army that came over, and there was no tearing scene that they were accustomed to, and their own soldiers and generals could not fight against each other at all, and they were killed before a move, and they did not even have a little impact on the pace of the other party's advance. The commander is well aware of the ability of his soldiers, and knows that no matter in any battlefield, he can fight to the death with any opponent, especially the generals who led them up, and they were brave and brave in the three armies. At this time, the cavalry army had also swept away his rear army, and the commander looked at the cavalry who were charging with his sword, and sighed: "To create such an army, no wonder it will make the people who mention it feel terrified, but it is a pity that I can't see such a mysterious son, it's really fascinating." After speaking, he threw his big sword to the ground, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the scorching sun, and let the surroundings tear and kill, while he did not listen, look or hear, and stood proudly in the fierce battlefield of the war.
The drums of war have been silenced, the sound of tearing has stopped, and calm has returned to the surroundings. In the strange silence just after the end of the battle, the commander woke up from his memory, looked at the opposing soldiers around him in surprise, and looked at the big living person standing on him, who was unexpectedly ignored, and felt very puzzled. If you see someone in your own army, you must be surrounded by generals and soldiers who can't wait, and this is a great merit. But now the reality in front of him clearly tells him that he has been completely ignored by the other party's generals and soldiers.
The commander raised his arm in confusion and looked at the high-ranking general's uniform he was wearing, although it was not very gorgeous, but it was also embellished with gold thread, and the armor was trimmed with gold. But none of the soldiers who came by him looked at him, and they were all busy with their own business. The commander looked at the scene in front of him, really wondered if he was in a dream, looked at the lifeless bodies of the soldiers and generals around him, and touched the blood droplets splashed on his body, the blood droplets had not yet congealed, and these told him that this was not a dream. The commander moved his legs and walked around the battlefield, but the soldiers on the other side were still indifferent to him. At this time, the commander found that he was blocking the way of several soldiers on the other side, and when the commander dodged out of the way, the soldiers looked at him calmly a few times, and continued their affairs without any fluctuations. The commander was sure that this was a real disregard for him, and he couldn't help but sigh inexplicably, and walked around the battlefield, looking at every general and soldier he was familiar with. Looking at it, it also made the commander see some problems.
All the bodies that the commander has seen are not as tragic as the battlefields he has passed through in the past, and there is no stump and broken arm, and the mutilated body is as if he fell asleep in a pool of blood, and after looking at it for a while, he did not find the body of the other soldier, all the soldiers and generals who fell to the ground were his own soldiers and generals, and all those who fell to the ground except those who were shot down by arrows, all those who rushed forward to fight with the other party had only one fatal wound on their bodies, and there was no desperate tragedy, which showed that the other party and his own soldiers and generals did not fight at all, fighting, just like killing the empty-handed people who were waiting for the neck, it has been solved between raising hands, and there is no need to entangle with your own soldiers at all. After comparing what the commander saw with what he saw before, he felt powerless and sad, looking at the busy soldiers of the other side, the commander stood there indifferently, and at this time, this ruthless blow had fundamentally destroyed his will and belief as a professional soldier. The army that he thought he was satisfied with after half his life of hard work ended up with such an unacceptable end.
The glow of the setting sun illuminates the mountains and passes in a fiery red. The sunset on the horizon also emits a beautiful afterglow, reflecting the horizon of the earth. In this moment of splendid tranquility, a dull sound that shook the earth shattered the beautiful silence. At the sound of this noise, a group of iron horsemen had flashed under the gate of the pass. When they saw their comrades cleaning the battlefield, the cavalrymen who flashed out jumped off their horses and cheered and hugged their comrades. Then General Shufan also rode out to meet him, and the cavalry in the distance also rushed over, and in front of the army, the general led the army to come in a hurry. Came to General Shufan and jumped off his horse. General Shufan reported: "General, Gongzi sent me to lead troops to deal with the other party's reserve million army, and I happened to meet the other party's commander to see you, so I unceremoniously occupied his station, and then sent all the soldiers he led back home. ”
The general said: "You don't have to be polite, it must be that Gongzi is afraid that I will run into hard stubble when attacking the pass, and I can't close their road into the mountain in time, so he sent you to take the pass." Needless to say, what is Childe's arrangement, hurry up and talk about it. Saying that, the two walked into the pass, and after the general explained to the adjutant general that he had arranged other matters before leaving, he talked to General Shufan and walked into the pass, the headquarters set by General Shufan.
