Chapter 591: Brothers in Life and Death (Part II)
On the other side of the mountain pass, there was a sudden movement......
"That's ......" Nangong Jun looked out from the top of the mountain, under the yellow dust, a familiar figure galloping on a horse appeared, the silver sword was in hand, majestic and majestic, wanting to break through the iron cage, and the momentum was fierce and came towards the Mengyuan cavalry array......
"My lord, there is movement-" Yan Jitai Bazaduo's side, while always paying attention to the situation of the besieging Nangong Jun's troops, while quietly waiting for the opportunity, a message came from the guards not far away, and Yan Jitai's attention also disappeared.
"They've finally arrived, haven't they......" Yan Jitai smiled secretly, thinking that his plan had been successful and attracted Tang Zhan Lu Jing's main force to take the bait.
"It's the enemy's troops are good, but ......" the guards were a little confused.
"But what?" asked Yan Jitai tightly.
"The enemy forces are mainly cavalry, and there are not many of them, and the main general seems to have only one man......" the guard continued.
"Only one person?" This was a bit unexpected by Yan Jitai, and he thought that this was Lu Jing playing some tricks, so he couldn't help but mention a little in his heart, "That yellow-haired girl, what kind of ghost is she doing......
"My lord, what to do, they are now coming towards our formation—" the guard reminded again.
"If such a few people dare to rush into battle, isn't that looking for death?" Yan Jitai said coldly, "I don't know what tricks they want to play, since they want to die, then it will be better for him...... The order was ordered, and the three battalions of cavalry were ordered to go and surround them with the five battalions of troops, and completely annihilate the enemy!"
"Yes, my lord—" The guard gave the order and turned away.
"I'm much more familiar with the terrain of Wolf Pass than you, no matter how smart you are, you're definitely not my opponent...... The geographical advantage and the people are all disadvantages, Tang Zhan. Lu Jing...... Hmph, I'm going to see what else you're capable of......"
The Yanjitai troops were ready to move, and in the face of the cavalry formation coming from the rolling yellow sand, the troops of the three battalions and the five battalions were lined up and waited......
The charging cavalry was armed with a blue light sword and wore a dragon scale armor. Its tiger is unstoppable. Even if the distance is very far, Nangong Jun, who is far away on the mountain, can recognize that the person who came is his fellow brother, Murong Fei, the right-wing cavalry general of the Vanguard Army's Five Peerless Formations. Murong Fei took the lead, and in order to save Nangong Junbu, he ignored the orders of the army and led 800 cavalry to the rescue without authorization. Murong Fei is a good general in the army, and his martial arts are needless to say, but it seems that the eight hundred cavalry want to break through the tens of thousands of defense lines of the Mengyuan troops in Xuzhou. Maybe Murong Fei didn't think too much about it. What he is thinking about now is to rescue his good brother Nangong Jun from the encirclement of the enemy army. And the facts have also proved that Nangong Jun is now besieged on the top of the former army......
"General, there is the banner of our army on the hill ahead-" Murong Fei's cavalry charged, and the cavalry general on the side looked at the scene on the hill in front of him from a distance and shouted loudly.
"In Wolf Ziguan, the only branch of our army that has not yet converged is Brother Nangong's troops, so I can't be wrong. It's General Nangong's troops, and he is now surrounded by Meng Yuanfu's legions......" Murong Fei also ordered desperately. "Order, all the cavalry will charge with arrows, the target is the hill of the front army, and make peace with General Nangong's troops!"
"Yes—" shouted the cavalry in unison, and although there were only eight hundred cavalry, all of them looked like they were at home. With a spear in his hand and blood in his eyes, even if he was facing a pack of wolves in the desert in front of him, he was not afraid and moved forward bravely......
"Kill them!" On the side of Meng Yuan's troops, the general did not need to say. Seeing that there were very few troops coming to Murong Fei's rescue, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Kill-" In the Meng Yuan array, the cavalry mounted on the matrix, and with the momentum of the copper wall and iron wall, it seemed that he was desperately trying to stop the charge of Murong Fei's arrow array.
"Rub-" Murong Fei did not slow down at all in the face of the enemy's spiky iron wall interception, the long sword in his hand rose up, a blue light crossed, and the air was terrible for a while, like a horn of charge, accompanied by the rolling iron hooves of the cavalry behind him, and rushed towards the Mengyuan enemy formation.
"Ahh With the screams of the soldiers in the front row of Meng Yuan, the broken copper and iron that had been cut off scattered and fell to the ground.
"Chong-" Murong Fei took advantage of the situation, roared as soon as the military order came out, the cavalry army rose up excitedly, and the wolf Guan Gu suddenly resounded with a earth-shattering shouting and killing sound, and the eight hundred iron horsemen seemed to be an unstoppable wave, even if it was a huge cliff and a mountain, it would be smashed into dust and smoke.
"Left and right cavalry, flank the heart of the formation!" In the Meng Yuan array, the general received the order of Yan Jitai, and the infantry cavalry formation was divided into two lanes, left and right, and raided the side of Murong Fei's arrow array.
Since Murong Fei led a small number of cavalry troops, and they were surrounded by the enemy's cavalry formation, it was difficult to change the formation. The arrow array charge is particularly fast, but the left and right wings are short in protection, and the left and right sides are attacked by the enemy's infantry and cavalry, and the speed of the charge is naturally slow. After all, Murong Fei was eager to rescue his brothers, and he didn't care too much about the moderation of the formation, so he was surrounded by the formation, and a hard battle was inevitable.
There was no way, Murong Fei couldn't leave his troops and get caught in the battle. "Huh-" Murong Fei had to temporarily rein in his horse and slow down his charge, and fight with Meng Yuan's enemy army in the formation to meet the troops in the rear who did not follow.
"Ahh The wind of sword qi made a fatal move, and the Meng Yuan soldiers who besieged it were almost killed by sword light in one move.
However, the internal strength consumed by this move is not small, after several kills, Murong Fei obviously felt that his physical strength plummeted; in addition, in order to save Zhao Zichuan last night, the physical strength of the charge and breakthrough had not fully recovered, and the current state was simply unable for Murong Fei to continue fighting......
"Ahh If you don't break through from here, you will die here in less than a moment.
Not only Murong Fei himself, but also the troops behind him were disjointed - due to the slowdown in the speed of the arrow array, although some soldiers and horses on both flanks were taken into account, but on the whole, they were surrounded by the enemy army of Meng Yuan on all sides. The active formation just now was completely gone, and the whole army was completely passive and unable to rush into battle. The cavalry in the formation was entangled with Meng Yuan's infantry by condescending, but the number of people was too disparity, and it was difficult to defeat four hands with two fists. The troops in Murong Fei's formation also began to show a significant reduction in attrition......
"Brother Murong is doing it again, he must have disobeyed the military orders of Brother Tang Zhan and Sister Jing, otherwise he wouldn't have led such a small number of troops alone...... Nangong Jun got up and raised his gun, "That idiot, he loves to be in the limelight in front of me, from Bianliang to here, the stinky problem will not change...... Pass the order down. Assemble all the troops in the formation and go down the mountain to rescue General Murong's troops!"
"But how can we break through the enemy's encirclement if we have abandoned the high ground defense?" the soldier wondered.
"Let's save General Murong's troops first, and after the two armies meet, continue to retreat to the high ground!" Nangong Junyi said righteously, and instantly sorted out his clothes, which showed the anxiety in Nangong Jun's heart.
Nangong Jun's troops naturally did not dare to slack off, they all knew the friendship between the two brothers of Nangong Murong. The same hatred and hatred, life and death are shared, so between the soldiers under the two men. Feelings are also like friends of life and death, and they will never sit idly by while watching their brothers fall into danger......
"Ahh......h Unconsciously, Murong Fei's sword-wielding arm also began to appear sore. I don't know if it's because of the deep injury or because of extreme fatigue. His eyes and face were splashed with blood, Murong Fei at this time was like a crazy beast besieged by wolves, and he only had the belief of killing the enemy and drinking blood in his heart. Of course, more than half of his own troops have suffered casualties, and it is difficult to regain ......
"Kill-" However, in the confusion of blood, a familiar shout of killing came from Murong Fei's ears, coming from the mountain in front of him--it was Nangong Jun's troops, Nangong Jun knew that Murong Fei had fallen into an enemy ambush, and risked abandoning the high ground, leading the army to charge down and rescue Murong Fei's troops.
This shout was like blood of excitement, and it immediately aroused the fighting spirit in Murong Fei's heart. "Ahh And under the drive of Murong Fei, the cavalry troops under his command seemed to rekindle their fighting spirit, and took the initiative to rise up, and the array of arrows restarted, and went in the direction of Nangong Jun's troops charging and rescuing, but the Mengyuan troops who were caught in the formation began to have a small-scale rout, and the central part was caught off guard by the combined encirclement of Nangong Murong's two armies......
"My lord, the enemy army on the hill actually took the initiative to attack, it seems that they are going to pick up the enemy troops who came to the rescue......" Yan Jijitai's generals saw it and proposed, "It's better for us to take advantage of the situation to occupy the enemy's high ground, and let the enemy troops of this meeting be isolated and surrounded, so that they can be taken down and annihilated in one fell swoop!"
"No, that's not appropriate-" However, Yan Jitai immediately refused, "You can't wipe out this remnant army now, since Tang Zhan Lu Jing's main force didn't show up, but just sent such a small branch to come to the rescue, there must be another trick...... We must use them as bait to lure the main force of the vanguard army into appearing, so that we can completely destroy the main force of the enemy army and prevent it from turning over...... If I'm not mistaken, the troops who received it should still be able to retreat back to the highlands to defend it, after all, they can't break through with such a small number of people...... The order went down, and ordered the troops in the direction of the hill to deliberately get out of the way, let the enemy retreat to the high ground, and then, as before, surround the enemy formation on the high ground, and sit back and wait for the order!"
"Yes, Your Excellency—" After the general received the order, he immediately ordered the military commanders.
"If you want to lead my main force to encircle, there are other tricks?" Hmph, don't ......even think about it," Yan Jitai smiled secretly in his heart, "If you have the ability, show the main force, and we will fight in a dignified manner...... Of course, if you girl still have a secret plan, I also have a way to deal with you, so that your main force will be completely buried in the Wolf Pass......"
Yan Jitai is very cautious, especially against Lu Jing's strategy, as long as the main force of the vanguard army does not show up, even if the numerical advantage is obvious, Yan Jitai's troops will not act rashly......
"Brother Murong, I'm here-" And at this time, in the battle between the two armies, Nangong Jun's troops "marched forward" all the way, killing the Mengyuan enemy army who intercepted Murong Fei to the dark. After all, the attention of Meng Yuan's troops was on Murong Fei's side, and they never expected that Nangong Jun behind them would take the risk of abandoning the high ground and leading the main force to charge down. Attacked from behind, it was difficult to set up a formation, and the troops in this direction were naturally unable to cope and were defeated.
And it was this attack that not only gave Murong Fei's troops a respite, but also opened a passage for Murong Fei's troops to the direction of the highland mountain pass. From the Wengzhong Pass from the mountain pass to the highlands, it has been connected by Nangong Jun Murong Fei's troops, and the Mengyuan troops are unable to encircle, and if they want to attack, they can only break through from the left and right. However, the Nangong Murong troops, who regained their fighting spirit, re-arrayed, refused to pass and blocked the left and right wings, even if the number of troops added up to no more than 1,000 people, but it was enough to form an impregnable defense, lined up on both sides of the middle road, and the Mengyuan enemy army had no encirclement array, and was divided into two roads, patrolling and not daring to enter......
"You're really besieged here...... Hmph, if I hadn't led the troops to find here, I'm afraid you wouldn't have survived today—" The two brothers reconciled, and Murong Fei teased with a bloody laugh on his face.
Nangong Jun was calm, knowing that the situation was urgent, and then said sharply: "Let's not talk about this, there are a lot of enemy troops here, even if the two wings are defended, they can't hold out for a long time...... If you have anything to say, go back to the highland camp first, and quickly lead your troops to retreat, otherwise it will be too late when the enemy forces cut off the road for our army to retreat!"
Murong Fei smiled and nodded, so he re-ordered the troops behind him: "The whole army has it, with General Nangong's troops to retreat back to the high ground to defend it, the formation is closed by the two wings of the formation in turn, and it must not be delayed, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
The military order was issued, and the troops of Nangong Murong's two armies did not dare to slack off, and the cavalry army changed formations flexibly, and began to gather from the end of the formation, and the entire army was "recycled" in turn, and the two armies would go back and forth to the hillside and high ground. And Meng Yuan's troops were also "meaningful" enough, they received the military order from Yan Jitai, and deliberately let go of the retreat of Nangong Jun's troops to the highlands, and Nangong Murong's troops retreated to the highlands without much hindrance......
"That's it......" Yan Jitai looked at the results of the battle in the distance and sneered, "Hurry up, Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, if you don't come to the rescue, your generals and cavalry troops will be trapped here alive......"
What Yan Jitai was thinking about was the movement of the main force of the Tang War Vanguard Army, and Yan Jitai seemed to have another plan in his heart, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
With the help of Nangong Jun, Murong Fei's troops successfully retreated to the high ground. However, Murong Fei's troops were not small in damage, more than half of the casualties were killed, and now the troops he led were only more than 300 people, plus the troops who made peace with Nangong Jun, and the main force of the cavalry army was only more than 1,000 people. As Yan Jitai said, if the troops of the vanguard army do not come to the rescue, they will really not survive for a few days......
However, the two brothers of Nangong Murong didn't seem to care about the tension of the situation, and the brothers "reunited" in danger, and they seemed to have endless words, of course, the tone was naturally the same as usual.
"You guy is reckless again, you are the only one who led the troops here, and the fight is still so unruly, needless to say, it must be hiding the orders of Brother Tang Zhan and Sister Jing, right?" Nangong Jun didn't care about Murong Fei's injury, and came up to ridicule and blame.
Murong Fei also "showed no weakness" and retorted: "You are really ungrateful, if it weren't for my brother and I desperately rushed to the rescue, I am afraid you would not have lasted long...... And I seem to be reckless in doing this, but in fact I have ulterior motives......"
"Oh, what kind of strategy can you come up with, you fish-wood head, or is it Sister Jing who made you do it with a trick......" Nangong Jun asked in turn.
"Don't have any good schemes, think of that Lu girl, she is not the only one who has brains in the army-" Murong Fei simply wiped the blood on his body and face, and said teasingly.
"Then tell me, what other strategies do you have besides recklessly saving me?" Nangong Jun asked back...... (To be continued.) )
