Chapter 361: Charge
It was pitch black all around, and Gu Shenwei looked at the Daxue Mountain camp in the valley and the Jinpeng Fort military camp outside the valley from a distance, outlining the general outline of the two armies with a little firelight.
The Jinpeng Fort military camp stretched for several miles, blocking the entire valley mouth tightly, and the firelight was as dense as the Milky Way in the sky, compared to the Great Snow Mountain camp, it was much more pitiful, if it weren't for the terrain here, Gu Shenwei couldn't even find the camp.
Maybe this was just to guard against the sneak attack of the Jinpeng killer, Gu Shenwei comforted himself.
Shangguan Fei was moved by the scene in front of him and exclaimed: "This is my Jinpeng Castle ......"
Next, he could only sigh, Jinpeng Castle soared into the sky, but he could only be a stepping stone and a victim, forced to stand on the side of the loser.
"Dragon King, what should we do?" Since that unsuccessful escape, Shangguan Hong's posture has become lower and lower, and his tone of voice is as respectful as a family servant.
As early as when Shi Guo was in the country, Gu Shenwei was thinking about this problem, and along the way, the entire plan had been repeatedly conceived countless times, although he was not 100% sure, it was the only choice to solve the current dilemma.
"You two. Gu Shenwei looked at the excited Shangguan Fei and the panicked Shangguan Hong, "It's time to do something for me." ”
The Dragon King escorted them all the way here, of course, not just to prove that he did not slaughter the son of the Dubu King, the two brothers knew this, but when it came to the matter, they were still reluctant.
"Hehe, Dragon King, I already helped a lot when you attacked the mustang, and it wasn't my fault that I didn't kill him, this time it's someone else's turn. Shangguan Fei hoped that the Dragon King would remember his "merits".
"Dragon King, please command, my little life will be handed over to you, as long as you don't dislike my low martial arts. Shangguan Hong patted his chest and promised, praying in his heart that the Dragon King would better "dislike" himself.
For these two cowards, only by throwing out greater fear can they be forced to do things, Gu Shenwei patted the package containing dry food, "These days, you have been eating broken intestine powder, one of the seven secret medicines of Xiaoyue Hall, which is very good for the body. ”
"Yes, the Dragon King is so good to us, we both want to find an opportunity to repay the Dragon King's great kindness. Shangguan Fei's duplicity was wrong, and he missed the identity of the ninth young master of Jinpeng Fort more and more.
"It will be good for you. Gu Shenwei pointed to the Jinpeng Fort military camp in the distance, "Tomorrow at noon, no morning or night, you two go to see Dugu Xian, and say that you escaped death." There must be Jinpeng killers in the camp, secretly gather them, in the name of King Dubu, relieve Dugu Xian's military power, and order the army to retreat ten miles east to make way for Daxue Mountain. ”
The two brothers looked at each other, and what the Dragon King said was quite easy, but this series of actions, every step was beyond their ability and will, and both of them had engaged in a lot of intrigues, but they had always been hiding behind and letting others do it.
"This, what's in it for us?" Shangguan Fei asked bluntly.
"If the two of you make a public appearance in Biyu City, the Dubu King will probably send someone to kill you immediately, and then claim that this is the impostor, but here, the Dubu King is beyond the reach, and the more witnesses, the better it will be for your safety in the future. ”
The Dragon King's analysis has some truth, but the two of them are still very worried, especially Shangguan Fei, who instinctively rejects all actions that require him to go into battle in person, "Dugu Xian may know the true intentions of the king lord, what if I kill the two directly?"
"He won't. Gu Shenwei was very sure that Dugu Xian was just a hired commander, and he was not qualified to participate in the most secret plan of Jinpeng Castle.
Shangguan Hong looked much braver, patted his chest again and said, "No problem, the Dragon King will wait for good news." Then he turned to Shangguan Fei, "Brother, you don't have to be too afraid, this matter is very simple, besides, the Dragon King has saved our lives, shouldn't we repay it wholeheartedly?"
Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment, feeling very unfamiliar with the title of "younger brother", and then he was angry, snorted, and said to the Dragon King: "Okay, I'll go, but there is a condition, after doing this, you have to give me some antidote to the intestine breaking powder, no matter how good it is for the body, I don't want to eat it." ”
Gu Shenwei solemnly agreed, reminding them: "Tomorrow at noon, you will enter the barracks, you will have six hours to relieve Dugu Xian of military power, and on the third watch that night, I will see a horse and a flat river outside the valley." ”
For those who don't know the two brothers, the task entrusted by the Dragon King is too heavy, but Gu Shenwei knows that although these two people are timid, they are no worse than anyone in the Shangguan family, Shangguan Fei once pretended to be his sister to deceive the Dragon King, and Shangguan Hong pretended to be the Dragon King to kill a high monk with his own hands, as long as they pressed hard, these two people could do anything.
Gu Shen wanted to take the middle road of the mountain, bypass the army of Jinpeng Castle, and enter the camp of Daxue Mountain from behind.
The location of the camp in the Great Snow Mountain happened to be the former Gu manor, and Gu Shenwei still had a little impression of the nearby terrain.
But this detour was still more difficult than he imagined, the mountain road was rugged, and there were secret posts of Jinpeng Fort everywhere, so he could only go around in a larger circle.
When Tononya discussed military affairs with several patriarchs, he never imagined that the dragon king was slowly approaching the camp in the mountains.
Providence, Gu Shenwei was one step too late and failed to stop the entire army of Daxue Mountain from charging, but he ran into the dozens of Jinpeng killers who robbed the camp.
There were only three or four hundred wounded soldiers left in the camp, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the Jinpeng killer, there was almost no power to fight back.
Gu Shenwei changed his usual fighting style, not killing the lone on the periphery, but holding the Wufeng Sword high, shouting "The Dragon King is here" all the way, and rushed into the killer circle to fight bloodily.
This series of shouts produced two diametrically opposed effects, the Jinpeng killer was terrified, although the dragon king was the same as them, they were all trained in Jinpeng Castle, but in the minds of everyone, the dragon king was a legend one or two levels higher, on the other hand, the wounded soldiers were greatly surprised, and after seeing that it was really the dragon king himself, they were even more encouraged, and immediately more than 100 people struggled to get up and joined the battle group.
The killers don't like a scuffle, and Gu Shenwei is forced to join the war, but the Jinpeng killers make the only right choice in this situation - evacuate quickly.
The battle ended quickly, and Gu Shenwei had no intention of chasing these killers, so he immediately asked, "What about the others?"
"They all went out of the camp for a decisive battle. One of the wounded soldiers replied, his eyes full of joy, and he had the same idea as his brothers around him: as long as the dragon king appeared, the battle would be won.
Gu Shenwei stepped on the ladder to climb the height, and across the camp fence, he saw three thousand heavily armored cavalry rushing into the battlefield.
Gu Shenwei felt that this was his own mistake, when the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain had just occupied the camp and had the first big battle with Jinpeng Castle, Dugu Xian had sent a well-trained cavalry, but he didn't care, now that he thought about it, if he had traced the source of that cavalry earlier, it was likely that he would have discovered the conspiracy that Dubu King secretly carried out in Xiaowan Kingdom.
Today's cavalry is better equipped than the last time, and the advance and retreat are more orderly, just after Gu Shen waited and watched, they had already broken through the line of the Great Snow Mountain, and were turning their horses' heads, preparing to line up in several columns and attack again.
It only takes a few trips back and forth, and the soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain will be wiped out.
"The herald ordered the troops to be withdrawn. ”
Gu Shenwei gave the order, looked down and saw the confused expressions of the wounded soldiers, and understood that he had made a low-level mistake, the horn of the Great Snow Mountain only had an attack signal, and there was no sound of retreat.
He jumped back to the ground, grabbed a strong-looking steed, and said to the wounded soldier, who could barely get up, "Hold the camp, not go out a single step." ”
Gu Shenwei jumped on horseback, went around, and grabbed a battle flag, which he had designed in Biyu City, with a black background and a red one-legged crow in the middle.
Gu Shenwei rushed out of the camp, he wanted to save as much as possible the soldiers who forgot to die, that is a group of people loyal to him, the only island in the sea of the world that belongs to him, without these people, he will have nothing, and he will not be able to explain to the old and weak women and children left in the snowy mountains.
The ground outside the camp was red, and countless corpses lay on the ground, and many of the wounded, who had not yet died, wailed like children.
The horses that sat down flew on all fours, Gu Shenwei still felt that it was too slow, in front of him, the heavy armored cavalry had already launched a second round of sweeping, like a fast-moving copper wall, he seemed to never be able to catch up.
It was useless to catch up, and no one could stop the advance of three thousand cavalry on their own.
The soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain were still fighting fiercely with the infantry of Jinpeng Fort, and they did not notice it, and they could not distinguish the strength to resist the cavalry behind them.
It was as if a huge scythe swept through a man-high wheat field, and both good and bad, both friend and foe, were harvested by the heavy cavalry.
As long as the snow bandits can be completely eliminated, Duguxian doesn't care how many of his own people are killed by mistake.
Gu Shenwei then rushed into the battlefield and shouted, "The Dragon King is here, gather under his banner!"
The appearance of the dragon king once again caused panic and ecstasy, the surviving swordsmen and swordsmen shouted and gathered towards the banner, and the infantry of Jinpeng Fort retreated in a panic, but the three thousand heavily armored cavalry were fearless, and once again turned around, lined up in formation, and prepared to launch a third round of charge and sweep.
Countless warriors of the Great Snow Mountain had fallen before the arrival of the Dragon King, and they could no longer get up to fight.
Gu Shenwei glanced at it cursoryly, and there were less than two thousand people left.
"The wounded go first, and the others will return to the camp!"
The swordsmen quickly carried out the order, but the Xu Ming swordsmen didn't know why, they thought that since the Dragon King was here, they should fight to the death with Jinpeng Castle.
Gu Shenwei held high the red crow battle flag and let out a stern voice like a god, "The order of the Dragon King, you must not disobey!"
Like a group of reprimanded children, the swordsmen immediately began to move and retreated in the direction of the camp.
Gu Shenwei jumped off the horse, still holding the battle flag in his hand, and lined up with nearly a thousand warriors, blocking the narrow valley mouth and covering the others to retreat first.
"Cut off the horse's legs!" he cried, and the three words were passed in turn to both sides, and the swordsmen were all half-crouched, their heavy swords in their hands, ready to meet the rushing cavalry.
It was as if a sledgehammer had struck on the seemingly weak fishing net, and many places had been torn open gaps, but the net was still intact, and only a few dozen cavalrymen had passed.
The third round of the charge was blocked.
The well-trained cavalry, unwilling to engage the infantry face-to-face, immediately retreated, intending to open the distance and charge again.
The warriors of the Great Snow Mountain fought and retreated, and after paying a heavy price and resisting several rounds of charges, they finally withdrew to the camp in the evening of the same day.
Gu Shenwei's body was covered with blood, and the whole person was the same color as the red crow on the battle flag.
The Great Snow Mountain was not completely destroyed, but he was not happy, he vowed to find the traitor, and with his intuition and years of experience, he was very sure that there were people in the camp who were rejoicing in the fiasco.
