069 times, stunned general boxing case, Nanlu Gong Formation shot in front of the front

Ling Zi took the order and left, Wang Fangyi stood up, and said very ashamedly: "Mei Gong, the northwest area is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are Turkic spies in our army, in fact, I already know about it, and I am secretly collecting a directory and releasing false military information as a suspicious plan. Grain, grass, baggage, bows, crossbows, and horses are all guarded by reliable people, and they do not play a big role in the army. ...... I don't think that today's Turks will spread rumors to the head of Nanlu Gong, which is the fault of his subordinates, and I hereby ask you for your guilt. ”

Mei Xiaolang waved his hand: "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, fiction and reality are common things in soldiers, how can the general be too much? It's just that the decisive battle is imminent, and these people don't need it, so they just take this opportunity to capture it in one fell swoop, and then push them to the front of the two armies and behead them, chilling the enemy's courage and boosting the morale of our army." ”

When he heard that the "rumors" had spread throughout the army, he felt a pang of pity in his heart, and it seemed that it was impossible to take the opportunity to rescue his son by pretending to negotiate and appease him in private! He himself must lead the army to a decisive battle, and he must win the first battle, so as to serve the country with a clear loyalty to the king. Who is the person who has such a personal enmity with him? It must not be Yuan Zhen, but the car book and Gu Dulu. Mei Xiaolang hated the meticulous work of spreading rumors, and wanted to push them to the front of the battle and behead them together.

This seems to be too ruthless, but since ancient times, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and there is no room for softness before the battle of swords and guns. Wang Fangyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Mei Gong's move is very happy to my heart! Dealing with the Turkic bandits, it is exactly this thunderous method. ”

Mei Xiaolang sighed and said in a low voice: "General Wang, there is one more thing I want to say to you, just go out of my mouth and into your ears." My eldest son, Mei Zhenyi, was taken away in Jiangnan a month ago and his whereabouts are unknown, and the person who kidnapped him was Zuo Youxian, a master of the left road in the Jianghuai Army. If my son is indeed in the hands of the Turks, then Zuo Youxian should also be in the Turkic army. ”

Why did Mei Xiaolang tell the truth to Wang Fangyi, because his son was abducted by Zuo Youxian, and the Haozhou Mansion already knew about this matter, and sooner or later it would be impossible to hide it. If people are quietly rescued, everything will be good after the rebellion is quelled. But at this moment, the rumors have risen, and if they really meet in front of the two armies, it will be difficult for him to explain.

Wang Fangyi gasped: "Mei Gong, is this serious?"

Mei Xiaolang didn't speak, and nodded silently. Wang Fangyi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shook his fist, hit Yuan Zhen's secret letter hard, and said in a deep voice: "Mei Xiaolang." As the Duke of Nanlu of the Tang Dynasty, you should understand how to choose between the righteousness of the family and the country!"

As a deputy general and a subordinate, has anyone ever talked to the boss like this? This Wang Fangyi is still this kind of person, and he has a nickname called "Wang Suzi." Thinking that a righteous friend in his place was beheaded for breaking the law and beheading the corpse, Wang Fangyi was not afraid of Zhulian going to the court, so he collected the body for his friend and buried it according to the rites. Captain Jin Wuwei of Chang'an impeached him for ignoring the law of the country, and Wang Fangyi was also voluntarily punished. It was Tang Gaozong who issued an edict to forgive him, so he was not investigated.

Such an upright person is also a relative of the former queen Wang, if it weren't for the protection of General Pei Xingjian, he would have been unlucky. Wang Fangyi is a fierce general under Pei Xingjian, and has made countless achievements. The reward he received was not much, and Pei Xingjian had always intended to let him guard the border and stay away from the capital, so he was able to be an official until now. Now that Pei Xingjian has passed away, the imperial court has enabled Wang Fangyi under the recommendation of Chen Wuting. But Wang's temper remained unchanged at all.

Hearing Wang Fangyi's question, Mei Xiaolang suddenly pulled out his sword, turned around and slashed down at the table. Wang Fangyi was so shocked that he withdrew his hand, only to hear a loud noise, and even the secret letter on the table was cut into two pieces with a sword.

Mei Xiaolang pointed his sword at the table and said resolutely: "General Wang is underestimating me Mei when he says such a thing! How can I ignore the righteousness of my family and country for the sake of a son? I just told you the truth because I don't want to have a personal possibility to cause you and me to be suspicious, general, please rest assured." When it comes to breaking the enemy, I will never hesitate. If you violate this statement, you will swear to this case!"

Wang Fangyi saw Mei Xiaolang's attitude, and also realized that what he had just said was excessive, not only rude but also suspicious, his face turned red, and he said: "Mei Gong's heart is open, and his subordinates admire me! Please don't mind. ...... In case of misfortune. It is also to sacrifice his life for the country, and he has no regrets. ...... Mei Gong is still strong. Go back and marry a few more concubines and sons, and there will be many. ”

Mei Xiaolang put away his sword and didn't want to continue to talk about his son, so he pointed to the military formation in the center of the big tent and said: "After you go back, urge Ling Zi to torture the spies according to the camp, don't let any of them go, from tonight onwards, no one in the whole army will only enter or leave, don't let a trace of news leak out, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Wang Fangyi's face was solemn: "Get the order!"

Mei Xiaolang: "Tomorrow morning, you will dismantle the camp and reorganize the army, join forces with me, and I will leave 50,000 people to guard this large camp and mobilize grain and grass to meet the rear army." The rest of the army advanced rapidly, approaching Atami, taking the car book by surprise. ”

Wang Fangyi: "Mei Gong is going to suddenly move his army forward? This move is very wonderful, I thought that the army would fight in two days!"

Mei Xiaolang: "The military horses in Guanzhong are not suitable for the water and soil climate here for a while, and as soon as I enter the North Garden, I slowly march to recuperate, while talking with Yuan Zhen to appease. Now that the morale is sufficient, it is time to control the strings and advance to break the enemy in one fell swoop. ...... When the formation was broken, the Northwest Elite Cavalry was the vanguard, and I have heard of General Wang's name of bravery for a long time, so I don't have to worry about it, but if there are Zuo Youxian and other masters in the opposing army, the general should be careful. ”

Wang Fangyi: "No matter how powerful he is, a person is powerless in front of the tide of military horses, and if he is coerced into the rushing formation, he will die for a lifetime, what are you afraid of him?"

Mei Xiaolang: "I'm not afraid that he can stop the army, just prevent him from sneaking in front of the battle and injuring my generals." ”

Wang Fangyi: "Mei Gong doesn't have to worry about me, Pei Xiang and Pingyuan Gong (Cheng Wuting) invited the masters of the Miaofa Sect to come to the camp to help me, they are actually a group of delicate little girls, and the shelf is not small." ...... Mei Gong himself has to be careful. ”

Pei Yan has recently had a close relationship with Cheng Wuting, and this Wen Yiwu has formed a party in the DPRK, and the good thing is to wear a pair of pants. Cheng Wuting recommended Wang Fangyi, and Pei Yan actually invited the world's magic masters to help in the army. Mei Xiaolang was slightly stunned and then said with relief: "There are also masters of Donghua Gate in the world in my camp, you go back and tell all the masters of the Miaofa Sect, don't misunderstand before the battle." ”

Wang Fangyi led the order back to the camp, and Mei Xiaolang stood there looking at the table that was broken in two, his face was deep and speechless for a long time. At this time, Mei Gang's voice outside the tent reported: "Lord, Jiyuan Zhenren is back!"

"Please!" Mei Xiaolang was awakened from his contemplation and hurried to the tent door.

Ji Yuan's real age is unknown, he looks like only thirty people, and his face is as warm as jade. The eyes are as clear as water. He did not wear a Taoist robe, but the common herdsman dress on the grassland, and he was disguised as a messenger to represent Mei Xiaolang to see Yuan Zhengang returning. It is very dangerous to send secret messages between the two armies, and it is not the most suitable for a master like Ji Yuan to help.

Ji Yuan is the head of Donghua Gate in the world, and he has been cultivating in Zhongnan Mountain Taigao Peak for many years. Mr. Donghua Zhong Liquan drove to Taigao Peak at the beginning of the year to gather disciples in the mountains to hold a Dharma meeting and talk about the mysteries of Jindan Avenue. And by the way, he made a god-worshipping whip for Mei Zhenyi. At that time, Ji Yuan learned that Zhong Liquan had accepted a new personal disciple in Wuzhou, who was Mei Zhenyi, the son of Nanlu Gong. In terms of seniority, Mei Zhenyi is at least Ji Yuan's uncle.

After the cultivators "soared" to the Kunlun Wonderland, most of the dust was exhausted, either looking for the place of the same sect in the Kunlun Wonderland, or being a wandering god and scattered immortals, in short, choosing a place to cultivate and rarely ask about the world. In Kunlun Wonderland, Qing cultivation has no time, only afraid that the heavenly calamity will be difficult to experience, and the Tao fruit will be difficult to find. Like Mr. Donghua, he returned to Taigao Peak for a meeting. It's hard to come across once in decades.

Before Zhong Liquan returned to Kunlun Wonderland, he used a paper crane to send a message to Taigao Peak, if Mei Zhenyi encountered an accident, he would ask Donghuamen in the world to take care of him. As a result, it didn't take long for Mei Zhenyi to really have an accident. He was taken captive by the high-ranking people and his whereabouts are unknown. Donghuamen Dexin is also looking for it, but Zuo Youxian's cultivation is superb and his whereabouts are secretive, so Mei Yi only bumped into it once and then there was no trace, and the disciples of Donghuamen did not find it.

Ji Yuan felt that the situation was serious. Fearing that Zhong Liquan was entrusted by him, he personally led the two Dharma protectors of Jihai and Jitan, as well as twelve outstanding junior disciples in the sect to visit Mei Xiaolang, but heard that Mei Zhenyi might be captured by Zuo Youxian into the Turkic army. There was no news along the way, and they also followed the army to the northwest, this time Ji Yuan personally disguised himself as a secret envoy to see Yuan Zhen, just to find out the news of Mei Zhenyi, so as to try to save people.

Mei Xiaolang saw Ji Yuan entering the tent, and hurriedly gave a seat and ordered someone to offer tea. The first thing to ask after the hard work of condolences was the military situation: "Jiyuan Zhenren, how is the Turkic war readiness?"

Ji Yuan: "Although it is a hybrid of various departments, everyone can fight when they get on the horse." It's just that Yuan Zhen and Gu Dulu are suspicious of each other, the army's morale is unstable, and the morale is not the strongest. ”

Mei Xiaolang asked again: "How is my son?" Although it was just four simple words, his voice was a little astringent.

Ji Yuan sighed: "I wanted to find out where the detention was held, and I could take advantage of the darkness to rescue people." But Zuo Youxian left Mei Gongzi in his tent. Not only are there hundreds of strong archers around, but there is also a group of shamans on guard. It's impossible to rob the Flying Camp. We practitioners have our own ways of acting, and we will not force ourselves if we know what we can't do. If you really can't save Mei Gongzi's life, you can only ask Donghua Shangxian to find Mei Gongzi's yin spirit or reincarnated body in the future, and then marry the fate of master and apprentice. ”

Hearing his last words, Mei Xiaolang's eyes were closed and his body shook slightly, this Nanlu Gong, who could not change his face even before Mount Tai collapsed, showed a desolate expression on his face at this moment, and he seemed to be much older.

Ji Yuan said again: "General Mei Yi asked me to find out if Gongzi was wearing bracers, according to the subordinates sent by Yuanzhen to deliver food, Mei Gongzi did wear a pair of flame pattern bracers in his sleeves when he received the ground. As for him asking me how my son's cultivation is now, I don't know. ”

When Ji Yuan was talking to Mei Xiaolang, far away in the big tent of the Turkic military camp, Zuo Youxian was also talking to Mei Zhenyi: "Boy, your time is running out, haven't you thought about it yet, do you want to worship me as a teacher?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "Whether I really worship under the Left Dao Sect has anything to do with how much time it takes? If you are willing, it is just a thought, if you are unwilling, it is useless for you to ask every day." ”

Zuo Youxian: "If you don't worship me as a teacher, do you still want to live when you get to the front of the two armies?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I didn't say I didn't want to, I just didn't think about it, I really didn't think about it, Zuo Supreme, what do you say about this?"

Zuo Youxian smiled coldly: "Still hoping that your father will try to save you?" Tell you, don't dream! In front of the two armies, the first person he wants to kill is you...... If you don't believe it, let's wait and see together, the vulgarity is hypocritical and hypocritical, and I hope you will see through the epiphany and go with me!"

Mei Zhenyi: "What did you say? My father really killed me, how can I go with you?"

Zuo Youxian was still laughing: "If he doesn't kill you, how can you be willing to go with me? If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself, if you really die, you can only say that your life is weak and blessed, and you are not qualified to be my disciple." ”

Mei Zhenyi frowned: "Senior Zuo, why are you talking so much? I didn't understand!"

Zuo Youxian put away his smile and said, "Put on the bracers when the time comes! I demonstrated the method of self-protection, and I accompanied you to practice on the road of thousands of miles. If you can't comprehend the magic of it, or if you don't have enough mana to protect yourself, it's been a waste of my efforts. If you survive, don't forget, this life is also the land I gave you! At that time, you may figure out a lot of things, and I am also waiting. ”

The Tang Dynasty army came suddenly, which caught Che Shu, Gu Dulu, Yuan Zhen and others a little off guard. Some time ago, after receiving a report from a horse scout and a spies, Mei Xiaolang marched cautiously and has been slowly advancing. And Yuan Zhen is still secretly sending an envoy to discuss with Mei Xiaolang about appeasement, Mei Xiaolang sent a return envoy just left yesterday, why did the other party's army rush to Atami without warning today?

The Turkic soldiers were not good at defending according to the battalion, and the use of speed and impact was the strength of field cavalry shooting. The athletes mounted their horses and rushed to the steppe desert - they didn't even have time to eat lunch, so they could only take the marching rations with them on their horses.

The two sides met on the banks of the Tonggu River, and after the small group of troops in front exchanged bows and arrows, the large army did not immediately charge, but restrained the military horses on the high slopes on both sides to form a battle formation.

Like many rivers in the desert. The Tunggu River is a seasonal river with shallow water, wide channels and only flows during the rainy season, and the riverbed is bare and overgrown with weeds for most of the year. Now along the high ground on both sides of the riverbed. The military formation was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other, but they couldn't hear a single sound quietly. Not only did the war horses not roar, but there was not even a trace of wind, and it seemed that even God was holding his breath.

The forward line of the army is not as neat and straight as the formation of the plains, but spreads out according to the terrain. The Tonggu River bends about sixty degrees here, and on this side of the heights the Turkic cavalry forms a triangular formation, with the tip of the front sticking outward. It's what they do best.

The forward of the Tang Army on the opposite bank is a formation with two wings stretched out, like an open scissor edge, and if you look closely, it is the situation of the two route armies spreading out the envelope relative to each other, and there is no end in sight at a glance. What's more special is that there is a Chinese military flag on the left and right, the left king and the right plum. The distance between the two sides is an arrow away, that is, outside the range of a normal bow and crossbow.

Mei Zhenyi stood very conspicuously on a cart, which was specially prepared for him, a wooden platform with wheels. In the middle stands a shoulder-high wooden stake. Mei Zhenyi was tied to a wooden stake by several cow tendons, and behind him stood a big man with a knife. One look at this posture is reminiscent of the execution ground and the executioner.

The knife in the hand of the Great Han was one meter long, thin but the back of the knife was very thick, and the blade was in the shape of a crescent arc, which was the same as the war knives of the surrounding Turkic knights. This knife is best used when a fast horse is charging, relying on speed to slash, and the curved blade can also have the effect of cutting the ground with the momentum. In the hands of this big man, of course, he can also cut off Mei Zhenyi's head with one sword.

Mei Zhenyi was pushed to the front of the battle formation surrounded by a group of shamans, and at this time he heard the questions of the commanders of the two armies. In ancient times, there was no loudspeaker for shouting, but the loud voice full of air shouted loudly, and the movement was amazing enough. I only heard Yuan Zhen shouting: "...... How can my Turkic men endure humiliation when they invade my grassland, kill my brothers, and plunder my cattle and sheep? ”

The loud voice over there should be the voice of Wang Zhizi: "Capricious bandits, they dare to call themselves men! Those who do not get off the horse and surrender today, this group of comrades is an example!"

Mei Zhenyi was pushed to the front of the formation, and happened to see a column of tied people outside the Tang army formation in the distance, the number of people in the long row was about 300, and one person behind them waved a knife, and the neat knife light flashed like a silver thread, and more than 300 heads fell to the ground together! Mei Zhenyi saw killing people for the first time with his own eyes, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of heads were in different places, and the bloody heads were rolling in line towards the river valley.

He couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, the scene in front of him was too cruel! At this time, a thin voice on the side of the car said: "The Tang army on the other side is optimistic, Mei Zhenyi, the son of your commander Mei Xiaolang, is tied here, and even his own son has been a Turkic prisoner, do you still want to save the lives of your subordinate soldiers?"

It was a bone-chilling sound, far away, as thin as if it had penetrated into the eardrums, which was indescribably uncomfortable. Someone under the banner of the Chinese army on the opposite side suddenly shouted like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which dispersed the sound of Gu Dulu, and saw a person leaping out of the horse, and the guards on both sides of him and the big flag behind him jumped out ten steps with him.

This man was dressed in a red robe, riding a black horse, and scolded loudly: "Shameless bandits, before the battle array, I actually looked for a traitor to recognize myself as my son, and I will die!"

The distance between the two armies across the river was beyond the range of the crossbow, but this arrow had a sharp sound of breaking through the air, far exceeding the speed and range of ordinary archers, and even stirred up a line of smoke and light produced by high-speed friction in the air!
