Chapter Thirty-Eight: Deserted and Fleeing
The world of clouds is cloudy, and the fog is shrouded. The sassy wind and sand and stones roll, and the soaring smoke and python dragon run. The wind rides the fire, the black gas swallows evenly, and the spear is timid, and it is not difficult to see the soil before and after.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, the soldiers did not take care of the generals and the generals, and hundreds of thousands of Xiqi troops threw away their armor and fled in the direction of the city in a miserable panic.
The 2,000 soldiers led by the Dharma Ring were like bamboos on the battlefield, and even Jin Zha and other cultivators did not dare to stop their edge, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Jiang Ziya was carried by the rout, fleeing all the way, his leg was broken on the road just now, he would walk with a limp, his face was sad, his mood was sad and angry, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden.
Before a stick of incense, he was in high spirits, mobilized troops, and moved his mouth, as if hundreds of thousands of enemy troops would be wiped out. Who would have expected that the victory of the Xiqi army was in sight, and suddenly killed a strange soldier, full of sharp blades flying, cheering with wind and fire, unstoppable, not to mention him, even if he changed any good general, it was also a defeat.
In the chaotic and uncontrollable scene, Jiang Ziya saw Yang Jian rushing towards the enemy army, but he was quickly overwhelmed by the surging crowd.
Defeated, unprecedentedly defeated, the mountains were full of dead people, some of these people were killed by strange soldiers, but more were trampled to death by crowding. Preliminary estimates put the number at around 30,000 or 40,000.
Faced with the cruel reality, Jiang Ziya was hit hard, he couldn't figure out why he obviously had an advantage, but he would always lose to Deng Jiugong in the decisive battle. If Lao Wen Wang Jichang was still alive, he must ask why he would fail again and again.
"Prime Minister, a momentary victory or defeat is nothing, you have to think about it. ”
Huang Feihu looked embarrassed, his helmet fell on the battlefield, he and Wu Ji fought Gao Jineng, but they were still defeated, and Wu Ji accidentally died under Gao Jineng's gun. He knew that he was not an opponent, so he rode the five-colored sacred cow and evacuated decisively, only to pick up a life.
Jiang Ziya was silent, he was a determined person, he studied art in Kunlun Mountain, even if he did some work every day to carry water and chop wood, he also insisted on it for forty years. He is a person who believes in his own ability and never lacks confidence, but the successive failures make him wonder if his commanding ability is not on the same level as Deng Jiugong.
"Prime Minister, cross the mountain in front of us, and we will be safe. ”
Huang Feihu's words may have attracted Jiang Ziya's attention, he nodded, he was so embarrassed that he had to go back to the city to heal his leg injury, otherwise his wise image would be ruined.
"King Wucheng, you stay here, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and pick up Yang Jian and others. ”
Jiang Ziya walked out of an extremely depressed mood, no matter what, the cruel result was there, and he could only accept it. As the commander of the First Army, if he loses confidence, then the Xiqi Army will not be finished.
Huang Feihu arched his hand and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”
Jiang Ziya's prestige in Xiqi was very high, even if he suffered a defeat, in the process of escaping, he gathered nearly 20,000 horses under his command. These people are not comparable to the rout of the six gods and masters, they have the ability to fight.
After the arrangement was made, Jiang Ziya personally led an army of 20,000 to go first.
......
Walking and walking, Zhou Gongdan suddenly stopped, he looked at both sides of the hill, the reeds were luxuriant, the weeds were overgrown, and the place was a little scary. He is the younger brother of King Wu, who can be literate and martial, and this time he went out with the army to serve the country.
Jiang Ziya was stunned and asked Zhou Gongdan: "Why did you suddenly stop and not leave." ”
Zhou Gongdan pointed to the lush reeds and said, "Prime Minister, it is a little unusual to be quiet here, and my subordinates are worried that there are ambushes buried here. ”
Jiang Ziya frowned, if the enemy commander was replaced, he would only smile and not take it seriously at all. But Deng Jiugong, this opponent is extremely unusual, this person's use of conspiracy and conspiracy, like an antelope hanging horns, is endless.
Last time, he hid himself in the army, as if he had suffered a big loss, and this time it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other arrangements.
Jiang Ziya glanced at the reeds a few times, but did not find anything abnormal, so he ordered: "Everyone, pass through this place quickly, do not stay, violators will be killed!" As soon as his words fell, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the reeds.
"Retreat, there's an ambush!"
The sudden rain of arrows made the Xiqi army panic for a while, and they suffered a large number of casualties unsuspectingly, Jiang Ziya was stunned, but he didn't expect that Zhou Gongdan was really in the language, and there was really an ambush here. It's just that what he can't figure out is when Deng Jiugong arranged an ambush here.
He has 400,000 heroes, and Deng Jun only has 150,000, at this juncture, Deng Jiugong actually dares to divide his troops and block his own way back. This person uses soldiers, and he simply does not leave a way back.
Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth with hatred, but at the same time, he also admired Deng Jiugong, this person's use of military Taoism was like above himself. Defeated by him, he was convinced.
"Jiang Ziya, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
Tailuan saw that Jiang Ziya had suffered a big defeat, and admired Deng Jiugong's material like a god. Let himself and Zhao Sheng stay in the place where the birds don't to set up an ambush, he originally had a lot of complaints, but at this moment, Jiang Ziya appeared, and his complaints disappeared in an instant.
It is certainly enjoyable to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but it is equally enjoyable to wait for work and beat the water dogs.
Marshal Deng said: It is advisable to chase after the poor and beat the water dogs.
Jiang Ziya complained bitterly in his heart, and looked to the left and right, there were five or six thousand people. The soldiers and horses led by him have just suffered defeat, and their morale is low, and they will be ambushed, but it is really fatal.
"The rear army turned around and retreated slowly!"
This battle could not be fought at all, Jiang Ziya made a decision immediately and ordered the whole army to withdraw from the mountains.
Tailuan grinned and sneered, he fed mosquitoes in the reeds for a day, and he was bitten by more than a dozen bags on his body alone, and after suffering so much, how could he let Jiang Ziya escape easily.
"Soldiers, the credit is in front of you, kill the enemy with me. ”
Tailuan took the lead, led thousands of soldiers out of the reeds, and went to cover the Xiqi army.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Xiqi army originally had little morale, but when they heard the shouts of killing coming from behind, they were so frightened that they scattered and became a mess. Jiang Ziya yelled, but at this time, no one paid attention, and everyone ran desperately.
Jiang Ziya sighed, he was injured, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and at this time he lost the ability to command the whole army, he glanced at the rear, and was carried by countless soldiers to the flat ground down the mountain.
Thousands of soldiers and horses led by Tailuan bit the buttocks of the Xiqi army and rushed to kill. The Xiqi army had no resistance at all, and even if their companions were killed, they would not stay and take a second look, only thinking about fleeing for their lives.
The Deng army rushed all the way and was unstoppable, and Jiang Ziya led an army of 20,000 people who fled back to the bottom of the mountain to join Huang Feihu, less than three out of ten, and the rest were either killed or surrendered on their knees.
