Chapter 588: Seeing the Blood Lone Wolf (Part II)
"You can be considered to have remembered...... " Eight Neighbors replied with a sneer.
However, after Nangong Jun was briefly surprised, he regained his composure and saw his old opponent, but he didn't care at all: "Hmph, the defeated generals still dare to come, I didn't take your dog's life in Qiling Pass last time, and I dare to come back without fear of death, this time you don't want to escape from my gun!"
"Who died at whose hands this time, can't you see it?" The Eight Neighbors completely lost the embarrassment and panic of the first battle of Qiling Pass, and said rampantly with snobbery, "Now that this pass has been heavily surrounded by the troops of Lord Yan Jitai, even if you have the ability to fly, you don't want to escape from here!"
Nangong Jun finally came up with the words of the eight neighbors, and he already knew that from the very beginning, Yan Jitai had set up an ambush here to hinder the vanguard army's plan to intercept the Huaibei reinforcements. Fortunately, Lu Jing had already predicted that he would divide his troops into Wolf Pass in several ways, and the rest of the troops had arrived safely in Jinjun, only Nangong Jun's troops in the north were ambushed by Yan Jitai.
However, such a problem also comes, although the plan of dividing troops protects the overall situation, but the risk is also great, the number of main forces of the vanguard army is not large, plus the division of troops in several ways, the number of each department is even smaller. Now the main army of Yan Jitai has set up a net in this pass, just as the eight neighbors said to Eryu, now Nangong Jun's situation is inescapable......
"Hmph, now that you're in a trap, don't you want to escape-" Eight Neighbors sneered, looking at Nangong Jun as a weak prey pinched in his hands.
However, Nangong Jun didn't seem to have the slightest fear or panic, he smiled calmly when he was in danger, and responded disdainfully: "Hmph." Please don't make a mistake, since I, Nangong Jun, have arrived at the Wolf Pass. I never wanted to run away from ......."
"What did you say?" said the eight neighbors with a look on their faces.
"I'm not like you, I run away when I'm weak. When the situation is strong, the ugliness is fully revealed......" Nangong Jun held the eight-zhang snake spear in his hand, and said calmly in front of him, "I let you escape last time, this time since you have the courage to come back, I will make you my revenant under the gun!"
Nangong Jun's eyes and words shocked the eight neighbors, but the confident and calm demeanor on his face made the eight neighbors tremble and fear. "When death comes, you still have a hard mouth......" Of course, the eight neighbors couldn't stand it, so they set up the bows and arrows of the soldiers next to them and tightened the bowstring. "Suffer death!"
"Whoosh-" The two arrows flew out, and before the battle could be called, the eight neighbors attacked the arrows in disregard of morality.
Of course, Nangong Jun didn't take it seriously, not only did he not raise his gun to resist, but he just raised his hand empty, and caught the two arrows flying with his bare hands.
"You are a rat like you, you are not worthy of being my opponent of Nangong Jun at all-" Nangong Jun said domineeringly, and then galloped away with his gun. "Kill-" With the roar of the military order, the cavalry behind him swore to the death and waved their troops together, and they headed towards the troops who were supported by the eight neighbors.
"Block it for me!" Seeing Nangong Jun's menacing appearance, it didn't look like he was talking big. At this time, the slightly nervous Eight Neighbors hurriedly ordered.
However, Nangong Jun's flying horse was like the wind, the horse's hooves left no traces of dust, and Nangong Jun was at the forefront. The spear was down, and the golden light flashed. The phoenix danced and flew, and the "Horror Gun" swept out of the leaves. But it seems to be in the lifeblood of the enemy, and it enters from the enemy's formation, and one shot passes, which is to stir up the enemy's front of the army to turn on their backs.
"Ahh......h
The number of Nangong Jun's troops was not large, but the formation of its charge really frightened the eight neighbors. Only then did the eight neighbors know that they had despised Nangong Jun, and their position was too high, and within a while, Nangong Jun would fly here and cut off his own head.
Sure enough, the eight neighbors wanted to turn around and run away, but Nangong Jun's threatening shout came from behind him: "Hmph, you will only see the shrinking turtle that escapes, don't you want to escape from my gun today!"
After speaking, Nangong Jun's spear flashed with golden light, and the "Sky Splitting Divine Spear" slashed horizontally, and Kongyu slashed down as if he wanted to directly take the head of the enemy general. The eight neighbors couldn't cope with it, and hurriedly pulled out the Miao knife to block it. However, there was a shock in his hand, a metal sound, and the Miao knife in the hand of the Eight Neighbors was cut into two pieces by Nangong Jun, and the residual strength of the "Sky Splitting Divine Spear" also cut a bloody mouth on the forehead of the Eight Neighbors.
The eight neighbors panicked, and they were broken by Nangong Jun with one move, and they were so frightened that they couldn't react for a long time, and the reins in their hands didn't obey the call. Nangong Jun didn't give a chance, he quickly whipped the horse, and the horse passed like lightning, accompanied by the golden light of Nangong Jun's eight-zhang snake spear, and the body of the spear penetrated out from the front of the eight neighbors - Nangong Jun's snake spear directly pierced the heart, and one move took the life of the eight neighbors.
Eight Neighbors didn't even react to screaming, Nangong Jun's lightning-like marksmanship killed people only in an instant, blood splattered for a long time, and Eight Neighbors Tuo Eryu fell directly into the dust hooves of the chaotic horse......
"Who is the vanguard army at the bottom?" And above the Wolf Zi Pass Mountain Pass, Yan Ji Ji Tai Baza Duo, who had set up the overall situation, was staring at everything in the battle in the North Road of the Wolf Zi Pass, thinking that there were not many soldiers in the vanguard army, and it must be a separate army, so he asked the soldiers around him.
"My lord, he seems to be Nangong Jun, the left-wing cavalry general of the vanguard army's five unique formations-" The familiar soldier only responded.
In fact, this plan was jointly set up by Yan Jitai and Li Chengsheng, and at first it was expected that the vanguard army would intercept the Huaibei reinforcements at Wolf Pass, and Xuzhou simply came to an "anti-ambush" and surrounded it inside and outside. Who knows that the vanguard army troops are divided into several ways, disrupting the rhythm of the Mengyuan army on the Huaibei side and the Xuzhou side, the two sides have different tracking targets, plus the rescue of the main force of Chang Yuchun, the previous plan was beaten into a pot of porridge, and now the Xuzhou troops are intercepted, and there is only the Nangong Jun army from the north of the wolf to the remote area.
"I heard that Lord Xue Qiang's troops have been ambushed, and the main force has been sent back to Huaibei...... Yan Jitai said with a serious face, "But the battle at Wolf Pass cannot be relaxed, Huaibei will retreat, and the vanguard troops will relax their vigilance, and we will take advantage of this to fight back, not only can we suppress their military morale, but also alleviate the difficulties in Xuzhou......"
"Is it okay if the military advisor doesn't follow?" the soldier continued. It seems that Li Chengsheng did not travel with Yan Jitai this time.
"This time on the expedition to Wolf Pass, Xuzhou dispatched almost all the main forces. Now the garrison of Xuzhou City is empty, and the military division is in Xuzhou. Only then can we stabilize ......the overall situation," Yan Jitai continued, "Anyway, we are familiar with the terrain of Wolf Pass, and the number of troops is more than that of the vanguard army, as long as Chang Yuchun gets the news of the movement of our army's main force, the vanguard army is wiped out at Wolf Pass, and then returns to Xuzhou to defend it, there will be no problem with the difficulty of Xuzhou." ”
"What are you going to do next, my lord?" asked the soldier again.
Yan Jitai looked at the fierce battle under the gate and continued: "Nangong Jun is a brave cavalry general in the vanguard army, in charge of the left wing of the Five Absolute Formations. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing will definitely not sit idly by...... That being the case, wouldn't it be a foolproof plan for us to push them to a dead end, lure Tang Zhan and Lu Jing to come to the rescue, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
"My lord is really a clever plan, and the general will admire it-" The general on the side took the opportunity to say kindly.
Yan Jitai was still calm, knowing that his army could not delay the battle for a moment now, so he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, and the defenders of all departments will move along the direction to encircle Nangong Junbu." You don't have to rush to kill them all, force them to a dead end, and then lure the main force of the vanguard army to come and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
"The last general obeys the order!" the general also gave an angry order. Then he turned around and left from the order.
"Hmph, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, the vanguard army is about to be wiped out. Let's see what tricks you can play this time......" Yan Jitai looked at the battle under the pass, and said secretly in his heart......
Battle of the North Province Guanxia. Nangong Junbu was still struggling to break through, although he killed the enemy's main general, Balin. However, the overall situation of the troops did not improve, but because of this seemingly reckless charge, the troops fell deeper and deeper, and were gradually surrounded by the Mengyuan army in all directions......
Nangong Jun is still the tiger in the array, the spear swept by, and the heads of hundreds of people fell. But Nangong Jun has limited energy after all, and he rushes into battle to kill the enemy, and his body is also covered with bloody blade wounds. In the bloody hell of the wolf, Nangong Jun was a lone wolf in blood, fighting tirelessly, but he insisted on a little.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Nangong Jun's troops to begin to decline, because of the huge gap in the number of troops, Nangong Jun's troops who were deep in the enemy's belly were a little powerless, and the troops charging in the front row were okay to deter the formation, but the troops in the rear who were outflanked became more and more difficult to fight, and the casualties began to increase. Over time, the battle situation affected the troops in front, and the number of Mengyuan troops surrounded by them increased more and more, while the number of Nangong Jun's troops became smaller and smaller, and even Nangong Jun himself was seriously injured, and he was seriously injured in the left shoulder and thigh, and he was bleeding profusely......
"Ahh But after fighting for a long time, coupled with the double burden of exhaustion and injury, Nangong Jun's strength became more and more inadequate, and while he was conscious, he also understood that if he continued to drag on, his troops would be buried here.
"General, if we continue to fight like this, we will lose sooner or later, and we must find a way to find a breach to break out first-" shouted the equally brave cavalry general on the side.
"I know, but I have to find the breach first-" Nangong Jun kept waving the spear in his hand, but his hands and face were already splashed with blood, and he didn't know how long he could fight.
"General, the enemy forces over there are the thinnest, and there is a hillside high ground ahead, we can break through from that side!" shouted the other cavalry general excitedly, as if he had found a way out.
Nangong Jun turned his head, hit the target at a glance, and then ordered in a tearing voice: "The whole army has it, break through along the westward direction of the North Road, and occupy the high slope ahead!"
The military order was immediately issued, and the whole army in Nangong Jun's formation hated the enemy, and the direction was the same, like the momentum of the arrow array, and went towards the weak point of the enemy.
"Kill-" Nangong Jun raised his breath and roared again, and the snake spear swung to kill the enemy's array. Encircling the vanguard military headquarters, only the Mengyuan soldiers in Nangong Jun's place saw it, they were frightened, and some even didn't dare to wave their swords at each other, so they abandoned their armor and fled.
Nangong Jun opened the bloody road in front of the battle, and the cavalry in the rear rushed up, and the whole army was bloodthirsty......
"They have been tricked ......" But people never expected that at this time, Yan Jitai was sneering and watching everything under the wolf - it turned out that these were all Yan Jitai's calculations, and he ordered to deliberately relax the force in the direction of the high slope in front of him, and deliberately let Nangong Jun easily break through, but the actual intention was different.
"My lord, why did you deliberately let them break through there?" asked the general beside him, puzzled.
Yan Jitai smiled and replied: "We can't kill Nangong Jun now, we must leave him as bait to lure the main force of the vanguard army to come...... When Nangong Jun finds the direction of the breakthrough, he will naturally break out in a hurry, and it is common sense of the art of war to find the high ground and defend condescendingly, and then wait for the reinforcements to arrive. I just didn't expect it, hum, this is a deliberate ploy I arranged......"
What remained on Yan Jijitai's face was just a weird sneer......
"Ahh......h
"The whole army accelerates, occupy the high ground ahead!" Under the problem of killing the enemy, Nangong Jun certainly did not have the energy to think that the front was a trap that Yan Jitai had placed on him and even the entire vanguard army......
Meng Yuan's troops gave back face, and after Nangong Jun's troops successfully broke through, they did not speed up to chase, but watched Nangong Jun's troops occupy the high ground in front of them with less than 1,000 men, and then defend against the enemy......
"General, all the surviving troops have reached the high ground, and although there are casualties, most of them can still fight-" After occupying the high ground, the officers and men of the army continued to report the situation to Nangong Jun.
"I know, I order the energetic brothers to strengthen the defenses around the heights, and once the enemy has the intention of forcibly breaking through, they will block them with huge rocks!" Nangong Jun still didn't dare to relax at all, and every defense in the army was strictly controlled.
At this moment, tens of thousands of Meng Yuanbu riders were already surrounded at the foot of the mountain, and they had already surrounded Nangong Jun to guard the high ground. Even if Meng Yuan's troops can't hold on to the bottom of the mountain and besiege it for seven or eight days, Nangong Jun's troops will be trapped in it because of lack of food and water.
"Damn, this guy Yan Jitai, it seems that he is staying here and doesn't plan to leave......" Nangong Jun thumped his fists angrily, "If he doesn't attack, he doesn't retreat, it seems that he wants to trap us here and suppress our military ......spirit at the same time."
"But as long as the troops in other areas are safe and sound, it will be fine......," the soldiers on the side comforted bitterly, "General Chang has recently blocked the Huaibei side at the Wolf Pass as designed, so General Tang and they must have already moved towards the Mengyuan troops in the Huaibei side, and I am afraid that last night's battle has already been won...... The enemy forces on the Xuzhou side were unexpected, and although we encountered them, we already knew that the original purpose of Yanjitai was to design an ambush for our vanguard army...... The army division was clever and clever, and we were trapped, but at least the main force of the vanguard army still had ...... survive."
Nangong Jun seemed to have thought of something, changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how many troops do we have left just now?"
The soldier replied, "After a rough count, it's about eight hundred......
"In the early eighties, how can there be so few?" Nangong Jun seemed to realize that something was wrong, and then muttered, "It's strange, although the casualties in the charging and killing array just now were not small, there were not only so many people left...... When I first entered the Wolf Pass last night, the main force of the vanguard army was divided into five roads, and the left-wing cavalry of the Five Absolute Formations was the main force, not to mention that there were three or four thousand troops in the same direction, why are there so few now...... When the troops were first divided, the number of people was almost evenly divided, and if we were so small, then the same would be true of the other divisions, and if this was the case, then where did the rest of the vanguard troops go...... By the way, when I entered the Wolf Pass in the dark last night, it was raining, so there was no open fire, and there was no statistics on the number of the whole army at that time, could it be that at that time, Jingmei did it on purpose? Or did Jingmei have other plans...... Nangong Jun seemed to realize something, but he couldn't think of the key.
In fact, it was not only Nangong Jun who noticed that the number of vanguard troops was wrong, Tang Zhan had also inadvertently realized this strange phenomenon before...... (To be continued.) )
