Chapter 160: The Siege of the Soldiers (1)
Then everyone took their own orders and left, only Ye Qianxue was left in the conference hall, and Dong Zhaoyi was still standing behind Mo Zhongqing, as silent as a log. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Qianxue didn't drive her away when she saw it.
Mo Zhongqing saw that Ye Qianxue left her, but she quietly looked at the sand table without saying a word, and after waiting for a long time, she had to ask first: "Ye ...... Well, Lord Zhaoyang, I don't know what to discuss with leaving Zhongqing alone?"
When Mo Zhongqing said this, he was obviously still a little unfamiliar with Ye Qianxue's title, and the identity of this county lord also added some invisible pressure to him.
Ye Qianxue glanced at him and said simply: "There is no one here, you and I don't need to be too polite, just call me Qianxue." ”
Mo Zhongqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it.
After a while, Ye Qianxue looked at the sand table and asked coldly, "Do you think you know Shaoying?" ”
Mo Zhongqing didn't speak, this question is really difficult for him to answer, if it was in the past, he would definitely be able to pat his chest and confidently say "understand", but now, it is really difficult to guarantee.
Moreover, he found out that this Zhaoyang county lord actually called the second senior brother "Shaoying", not the enemy marshal, let alone the rebel henchmen.
This more or less made him feel a little ridiculous, as if Ye Qianxue and Mo Shaoying were very familiar, so familiar that even if they faced the enemy on the battlefield and had a few encounters, they were still extremely close.
So, Mo Zhongqing suddenly thought of a possibility, which was also the one he wanted to see the most, and saw him say with excitement on his face: "Have you and the second senior brother met in secret......?"
Ye Qianxue shook her head and cut off: "No, I secretly confronted him several times, and I also sent someone to contact him secretly, but he didn't want to meet me at all, and he killed the people I sent." ”
After Ye Qianxue finished speaking, a trace of anger flashed on her face.
Mo Zhongqing was stunned, and suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, since the second senior brother did not contact Ye Qianxue, then his identity should not be what he imagined, and the original guess was also wishful thinking.
Ye Qianxue shook her head, frowned slightly, and said, "Actually, I have a feeling, but you can't act by feeling when you march and fight, so I can only talk to you alone." ”
"Please make it clear!"
"It's very simple, Shaoying has been plotting Luoyang for a long time, and he will not act so simply. ”
Mo Zhongqing's eyes were puzzled, he thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Do you want to say that the deployment in this letter is fake? Or is it simply that the second senior brother deliberately asked this letter to be brought!"
Ye Qianxue didn't answer, but pointed to the sand table and meditated for a while, and then said slowly: "You see, Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and six rivers flowing together, there are Funiu Mountains in the west, Bishan Mountain in the north, Baiyun Mountain in the south, and rivers in the east.
On the surface, it is surrounded by three mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in his eyes, it is not so.
The quickest march from Wancheng to here is to march westward into the three counties of Mengjin, Luanchuan and Tongji, and it takes about seven days to march at full speed to reach the city, and if you come from Huaguo Mountain and Baiyun Mountain, it will take half a month at the earliest.
However, I heard that it had taken you five days to drive all the way from Wancheng, and if he had waited for you to leave the city and then march his army, there would have been plenty of time to attack around the mountain. But I couldn't guess which mountain path he would take, so I had a reluctant request and I hope to say yes......"
Mo Zhongqing smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "The county lord wants me and Zhaoyi to lead the troops all the way to intercept the second senior brother." ”
Ye Qianxue nodded and said, "I know this makes you embarrassed, but ......"
Mo Zhongqing said frankly: "The county lord is too worried, since I sent the letter, I have the heart to help, since it is useful, but it is by order, but I also have a reluctant request, if the second senior brother is defeated, please don't hurt his life." ”
Ye Qianxue smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The marching formation, seven points of planning and three points of heaven, in the end, it is not known who will kill the deer, if I am lucky enough to win, what does it matter if I promise you." ”
Mo Zhongqing saw that her expression was gloomy and her words were indifferent, and after thinking for a moment, he finally sighed lightly and said, "Since it is so at your disposal." ”
Ye Qianxue said calmly: "You have never led an army, I will be assisted by your three thousand elite soldiers and a general who is proficient in the art of war in the mountains tomorrow." If you meet him, you can try to block it, and when he sees that you are you, he will not force him to force him, so that it can drag on for a day. But if you don't see him after seven days, you can rush back to Luoyang on your own. ”
When Mo Zhongqing heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and took Dong Zhaoyi out of the order.
In the first month of the year, it is a time for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, but for the Ziyun cavalry soldiers in Yuguan and the people in Henan Province, the atmosphere of this New Year is as chilling as the weather.
On the sixth day of the first month, Yuguan 100,000 Beidi once again waved his troops to attack the city, Marshal Ye could not remember how many times this was the first attack, although the Ziyun cavalry occupied the geographical advantage, but due to the disparity in troops and the lack of materials, the casualties were not much better than that Beidi.
On the same day, 20,000 Heavenly Star troops in Wancheng marched to Luoyang, but the young marshal Mo Shaoying disappeared a few days ago, and no one knew where he went.
Seven days later, the 3,000 vanguard led by General Xu Shiwei of the Celestial Star Army had approached the valley in front of Luanchuan.
In the valley, Du Huaichong led thousands of elite cavalry to wait, as soon as he saw the banner of the Star Army that day, he ordered a random shot and then dropped the bow and fled in panic, General Xu sneered and did not pursue again and again, but ordered all the soldiers to concentrate on the guard and raise the shield slowly, Du Huaichong saw him like this, immediately left the team, one person and one horse, strolled to the front and raised the whip and pointed out: "I am Chang'an Du Huaichong, who dares to fight with me!!"
General Xu shouted: "You don't rely on one person's martial arts to fight, how dare Huangkou Xiaoer be rampant, are you in such a hurry to send you to death?"
Du Huaichong laughed and said: "Hahaha! I heard that the young marshal's fierce generals are like clouds, attacking cities and plundering land. Unexpectedly, when I saw it today, it was a group of shrunken heads and soft eggs, very soft!" As soon as he said it, the horsemen behind him burst into laughter, which shook the echoes in the valley, and General Xu said hatefully: "Turtle son, you are looking for death!"
Du Huaichong's face changed, and he said urgently: "Who is the turtle son scolding!?"
General Xu replied: "The turtle son scolded you!"
After scolding, Du Huaichong was already full of laughter, how could he be a little annoyed before, only to see him bow his hand and ridicule: "Be taught! It turns out that the general has already nestled to the point where he thinks he is a turtle son. ”
A sigh of grace was exchanged for a more violent laugh behind him, but General Xu was already flushed with anger at this time.
Seeing that Du Huaichong and the cavalry behind him added up to more than 100 people, he wanted to step forward to meet him, but he thought about stopping the horse's hooves, and said to a young general beside him: "Nephew Zhao Xian, you will meet this arrogant boy for me!"
The young general surnamed Zhao had long seen that Du Huaichong was not pleasing to the eye, and when he saw his uncle speaking like this, he couldn't wait to pick up his knife and jump forward: "Wu Na is crazy and wants to take advantage of his tongue, let's see the real chapter in our hands!"
When Du Huaichong heard this, he laughed and said, "That's right!"
With that, he picked up his gun and shot his horse and rushed forward.
For a while, the two of them rode their horses to hedge, and the distance was getting closer and closer, just when they were about to touch it, the surname Zhao Xiaojiang suddenly turned up faintly on the corner of his mouth and suddenly pulled the reins, and the momentum of the war horse under the seat was suddenly blocked, and the front hooves suddenly rose up, stirring up a piece of dust and waving forward.
That Du Huaichong might as well let him deceive suddenly, and before he could scold, he was blinded by the dust, and in an instant, he couldn't distinguish things left and right, up and down, and the tip of the gun in his right hand was even more accurate, so he had to stab indiscriminately.
The surnamed Zhao Xiaojiang naturally avoided it easily, and laughed: "Where are you stabbing you!"
Without waiting for others to react, he picked up the knife from behind and swung it away, Du Huaichong suddenly heard the sound on the right side, and immediately put his backhand on his back, which was able to protect his life in a hurry.
The surnamed Zhao Xiaojun was unforgiving, and he was even more up and down against Du Huaichong, attacking each other frequently left and right.
Between a few breaths, the knife technique is wide open and closed, what side knife horizontal chopping, slashing straight with the knife, dragging the knife and stabbing secretly, and trying to solve hundreds of attacks.
Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts for many years, although this listening and distinguishing position is not as profound as Ye Qianxue, but the knife wind on the opposite side is extremely loud, and with the blurred light and shadow flashing, it has not hurt a bit.
But the good times didn't last long, and when General Xu saw that his nephew couldn't attack for a long time, he secretly took out the crossbow that had already been prepared and shot at Du Huaichong not far away!
Immediately, when he heard Du Huaichong's "ah" scream, he saw that he was holding a sharp arrow in his hand, and the sharp arrow was already stuck in his chest! Du Huaichong, who was carrying a frightened horse on his horse, turned around and galloped back.
The surname Zhao Xiaojun roared excitedly, chased after the horse, and not far behind him, General Xu led three thousand pioneers to cover up.
Although there were thousands of elite horsemen behind Du Huaichong, when he saw that his general was suddenly defeated and did not know whether he was alive or dead, the army's heart was already shaken.
Seeing the enemy's 3,000 cavalry charging forward, one by one, their faces were pale and they no longer had the will to fight, and they hurriedly retreated, of course, among them, there were also several bold and loyal guards who stepped forward, and while working together to stop the surnamed Zhao Xiaojun, they grabbed the reins of Du Huaichong's mount and hurriedly retreated with the thousands of scattered elite horsemen!
Along the way, in the face of the three thousand Heavenly Star cavalry chasing after him, the Ye family's thousands of elite horsemen chased after each other and rushed to escape.
Fortunately, when people's lives are threatened, most of them are also the time when their abilities are exerted to the extreme, so although the three thousand cavalry behind them are chasing after them, they let them run away!
Approaching the valley mouth, the front suddenly opened up, the elite cavalry had already fled in all directions, the difficulty of the pursuit rose sharply, General Xu just wanted to Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves running straight to the ear drums!
Shocked to hear it, but seeing that two groups of men and horses suddenly came out on both sides of the valley mouth and rolled up the smoke and dust towards his own troops, General Xu secretly said badly, and shouted: "Retreat!"
Before he could shout the two words, he saw a sharp arrow shoot from a distance, and it was nailed to his chest in an instant.
He looked down at the arrow feather, and was shocked to realize that this sharp arrow was actually the one that had been shot at Na Du Huaichong's chest earlier.
But in addition to his own blood on the tip of the arrow, where is there any other person's blood?
He looked up in disbelief, and before he died, he couldn't believe that Du Huaichong was slowly turning back from the front alive, and he was sweeping with a gun, killing all directions!
Three hours later, the shadow of the sun slanted slightly. The more than 15,000 Chinese troops of the Celestial Star Army who were still walking in the valley behind them, seeing that there was no news from the vanguard in front of them, the scouts sent out to meet them were like stones sinking into the sea.
For a time, Sun Guangwei, the commander of the Chinese army, and Yang Deshan, the deputy general, were all worried.
In the face of the unknowable front, the speed of the march became slower and slower, and after a moment, he simply stopped the whole army and rested in the valley while sending men and horses from all directions to investigate.
However, not long after the scouts went out, a slow-moving cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them, and there seemed to be a thousand people in the crowd.
Sun Guangwei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and when he saw that the big flag system was the big flag of the vanguard cavalry battalion, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he didn't exhale the third breath, he heard the deputy general Yang Deshan shouting: "Oh no, that's not my own horse!"
When Sun Guangwei's face changed dramatically when he heard this, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't mention it, so he hurriedly looked again.
At this closer look, he was already stunned, although the light cavalry in front of him was wearing his own armor, where was his own troops!
And how could the young man who was covered in blood at the head be the old General Xu?!
In this stunned moment, without waiting for Sun Guangwei to give orders for the whole army to prepare for war urgently, the group of cavalry troops in front of them, who were roaming like sheep, had all opened their horses' hooves at this moment, and rushed to kill like hungry wolves with open fangs.
Suddenly, the killing intent was monstrous, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening!
Sun Guangwei really couldn't believe that General Xu's vanguard troops in front of him had been wiped out, and none of them came back to report the news!
As soon as he thought of this, he already had fear in his heart, and after leaving more than 5,000 people in the Night Wolf Battalion of Yang Deshan and his subordinate battalions, he personally led the rest of the battalions with a total of 10,000 troops to quickly retreat.
He Sun Guangwei is also a little frightened.
