Chapter 346: Into the City
Through the rising flames, Taishan looked gloomily at the Yan army opposite, and whispered to Fa Zheng and Zhang Wu beside him: "Pass the order, get ready, and when the flames are extinguished, our army will immediately divide into two ways, let Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei take half of the men and horses to attack the city, third brother, you personally lead a team of men and horses, and go with General Yan to block Yuan Qi." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yuan Qi has the name of the little overlord, Wu Yong is the best in the world, Taishan commanded the people, only Guan Wei and Zhang Wu are qualified to fight with Yuan Qi, so Taishan will let Zhang Wu to resist Yuan Qi, in addition to Taishan has a layer of meaning, he knows that Zhang Wu and Yuan Qi have a good personal relationship, Taishan is to take this opportunity to sever the connection between Zhang Wu and Yuan Qi.
Zhang Wu said with a sad face: "Big brother, let me deal with Brother Yuanqi, I ...... I can't do it. "Zhang Wu is a straightforward person, his way of thinking about things is very simple, Yuan Qi has helped the three brothers of Taishan several times, especially for Zhang Wu, when Yuan Qi only had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but took out a thousand elite cavalry to Zhang Wu, you know, the cost of cavalry is more than five times that of the infantry army, not to mention that Yuan Qi sent out, or elite cavalry. Zhang Wu after getting this thousand cavalry, only to be able to kill back to Feiru, save the lives of Taishan and Guan Wei and others, from this point of view, Zhang Wu has always believed that Yuan Qi is the savior of his three brothers, in the following years, this thousand cavalry followed Zhang Wu to fight in the south and the north, they used the determination to fight first in each battle and the fighting spirit of seeing death as home, subtly affecting Zhang Wu's thinking, so that Zhang Wu realized that small people can also have great courage, now Zhang Wu rarely whips soldiers as often as in history, in the final analysis, it is still caused by the influence of these cavalry。 Today, there are less than 500 of the original 1,000 cavalry, but most of them have been promoted to officers in the middle and lower levels, and it can be said that they are the backbone of the cavalry under Taishan. Now that Taishan asked Zhang Wu to take these people to a decisive battle with Yuan Qi, Zhang Wu naturally felt that he couldn't do it.
Zhang Wu's hesitation made Taishan very unhappy, and he rarely stiffened his face at Zhang Wu, Taishan looked directly at Zhang Wu, and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, when did you have the kindness of a woman? What kind of place is this? What time is it? Where are you so indecisive and misleading the country and the people? If you don't go, you don't have to call my eldest brother in the future." Taishan's words, both soft and hard, stand at the height of righteousness. also carried the personal feelings of his brothers, and clearly pointed out to Zhang Wu that there were two choices, either to lead the troops to resist Yuan Qi, or to break off the righteousness between the brothers.
Taishan's resoluteness made Zhang Wu have no choice, so he had to sigh, and then depressedly lifted the Zhangba snake spear, and moved to the side of the large array close to the Yan army with the 10,000 cavalry directly under him, just waiting for the fire to be extinguished. He led his army to block Yuan Qi's onslaught.
At the same time, on the other side of the sea of fire, Yuan Qi saw Zhang Wu's movements through the flames and knew that he must have been ordered by Taishan. Prepare to intercept your own after the flames are extinguished. Yuan Qi is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, he has helped Taishan several times before, in fact, to put it bluntly, he just wants to win over Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, but as he grows older and comes into contact with each other. Yuan Qi has changed his mind, he has no heart to woo, on the one hand, now Yuan Qi under the command of the fierce generals such as clouds, heavenly generals, good generals emerge in endlessly, and it is not too much need for these two tiger generals, of course, if they can be included in the command, it is also good.
Secretly sighed, Yuan Qi knew in his heart that it was impossible to avoid facing Zhang Wu today, which made Yuan Qi's heart feel very uncomfortable, and what made Yuan Qi feel even more disgusting was Taishan's little trick, he knew that he had a deep personal relationship with Zhang Wu, but he let Zhang Wu stop him, which can be described as a real hero.
The flames gradually subsided in Yuan Qi's depression, and Tarzan gave the order to march without waiting for the flames on the edge of the battlefield to be completely extinguished. Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi led nearly 100,000 Yizhou troops to the scorched land and rushed to Hanzhong City, while Zhang Wu led 10,000 headquarters cavalry and another 40,000 Yizhou troops to slowly block in front of Yuan Qi.
With a hint of bitterness, Yuan Qi urged forward alone, looked at Zhang Wu's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and said to Zhang Wu: "General Zhang, are you going to be an enemy of someone?"
Zhang Wu shook his head at first, then nodded again, and finally smiled equally bitterly, raised the Zhangba Snake Spear and pointed at Yuan Qi, and said with some loss: "Brother's life, I have to obey Lao Zhang." Brother Yuanqi, I'm sorry. Zhang Wu's words are equivalent to completely tearing his face with Yuan Qi and standing on the opposite side of Yuan Qi.
"Okay, since Zhang Wu has a hard time, I won't say anything anymore, you and I can rely on our own abilities!" Yuan Qi was afraid that Zhang Wu would be embarrassed, so he didn't continue to talk about it, but put forward a request for a decisive battle.
Zhang Wu took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order and line up to meet the enemy!" If it was usual, under Zhang Wu's order, the 10,000 elite cavalry under his command would immediately start to operate, and quickly form an effective battle formation according to the enemy's situation. But today, the elite cavalry behind Zhang Wu did not move, or rather, they did, but they did not form a battle formation as Zhang Wu imagined.
Under the leadership of more than 500 middle- and lower-ranking officers, at least 8,000 of the 10,000 cavalrymen turned over and jumped off their saddles, threw away their weapons, knelt on one knee in the direction of Yuanqi, and shouted: "See the lord!" Among the more than 8,000 people, many people have not seen Yuan Qi himself, but this does not prevent them from being grateful to Yuan Qi, because this cavalry was formed by the original 1,000 Yan Zhao cavalry under the command of Yuan Qi, and their souls belong to Yuan Qi. No matter who it is, they will not forget the first person who taught themselves to ride a horse and the first person to teach themselves to hold a knife, for these latecomers, the team that Yuan Qi gave to Zhang Wu is their mentor, their guide, and their close comrades-in-arms and brothers, so the souls of these latecomers have gradually been imprinted with the unique mark of the Yan Army in the subtle way, which has led to a scene that has not been encountered in a hundred years. More than 8,000 elites knelt on one knee in front of the enemy monarch and called the lord.
"What are you doing, get up, get up!" Zhang Wu shouted a little frantically after seeing the situation behind him. No one knows the personality of these people better than Zhang Wu, they have all experienced life and death with Zhang Wu, and they have fought on various battlefields together, not so much that Zhang Wu is angry, but that Zhang Wu is heartbroken, he doesn't want to lose these old subordinates who have suffered with him.
However. Under the leadership of a captain over 30 years old, more than 8,000 elites did something against Zhang Wu's order for the first time, they still knelt on the ground, did not get up, and began to remove the armor on their bodies, and after stacking the armor on the ground neatly, the captain shouted in the direction of Yuan Qi: "Sergeant Wang San, please return to the team!" After Wang San shouted, the 8,000 cavalry shouted in unison: "I will wait for the request to return to the team!"
The sooner Yuan got up the horse, the sooner he saw the extraordinary combat effectiveness of this group of cavalry. I love it very much in my heart, and after seeing this scene, Ma Yue immediately rode to Yuan Qi's side and whispered to Yuan Qi: "Second brother." Allow them to come back, they're all elite teachers. ”
Yuan Qi did not seem to hear Ma Yue's words, and neither agreed nor vetoed. just looked straight at Zhang Wu's black face, as if he wanted to see a flower on Zhang Wu's black face. Seeing that Yuan Qi did not react, Ma Yue was anxious. Ignoring the disrespect of the overstepping of the line, he raised his gun behind him and shouted at the more than 8,000 elites in Zhang Wu's array: "It's a brother's, go to the back to get the war horse and weapons!"
The more than 8,000 elites behind Zhang Wu immediately stood up, saluted Zhang Wu respectfully, and then walked towards Yuan Qi's camp, their steps were so relaxed, but they were so resolute, it seemed that the years they had followed Zhang Wu were just a dream of Nan Ke, and their hearts had never left Yuan Qi's body.
Zhang Wu, who had always been nervous, was at a loss, and silently clenched the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, but did not make any objections. For these old brothers and subordinates who share life and death, he can't kill the killer, and he doesn't want to see Yuan Qi with swords. Zhang Wu did not object, it does not mean that everyone will not object, Meng Da, who was following Zhang Wu, suddenly pulled out his long sword, and cut down an elite passing by him with a sword, and shouted angrily: "Those who flee from the battle and sell their masters for glory are not tolerated by military law!"
After hearing Meng Da's angry shouting, Zhang Wu turned around and saw an old subordinate being cut to the ground by Meng Da, and immediately roared: "Meng Da! What are you doing?!" Meng Da replied with a sneer: "Three generals, you can't bear to be a killer in your heart, then this wicked man, let a certain do a good job! I forgot to tell you, the lord has already let a certain serve as a supervisor before, and a certain is now exercising the duties of a supervisor, if the three generals have any objections, they can go to the lord to say." After speaking, Meng Da no longer paid attention to Zhang Wu, and shouted to the Yizhou army behind him: "Kill all these traitors, and leave no one behind!"
"Wait!" Zhang Wu roared unwillingly: "Meng Da, you said that they escaped from the battle and betrayed their masters to seek glory, so what are you? When you were still serving under Yuan Zhang's account, what about now? Speaking of which, you should be asked to be beheaded!" Zhang Wu, who has always been not good at words, saw his subordinates being killed, and that kind of distress made him suddenly become sharp-tongued, and pointed directly at Meng Da's sore spot.
Meng Da was angered by Zhang Wu's words, and said with a cold face: "Third general, at this time and that time, you don't have to be entangled anymore, otherwise, a catastrophe is coming!" Meng Da was the supporter of Mount Tai into Sichuan, and he was very valued by Mount Tai, and at the same time his temper was a little arrogant, and he had always been more proud of Zhang Wu, and today, the grievances between the two broke out on the battlefield.
Zhang Wu was also enraged, and as soon as he raised the spear in his hand, he raised his hand and stabbed a sergeant of the law enforcement team off his horse, and then immediately crossed the spear and shouted: "Who dares to kill my brother!" Under Zhang Wu's deterrence, the sergeants of the law enforcement team commanded by Meng Da lowered their heads one after another, not daring to make contact with Zhang Wu's vicious eye contact.
After shocking the law enforcement team, Zhang Wu turned his head and shouted at his old subordinates who had already taken off their armor: "Hurry up! Get out of here with Brother Yuanqi!" Although Zhang Wu was vicious on the surface and had a vulgar tone, how could those elites who had been with him for a long time not understand that Zhang Wu was actually protecting them? At that moment, more than 8,000 people, headed by Wang San, gave a military salute to Zhang Wu neatly, and then turned around and continued to walk towards the Yuanqi camp.
Looking at the backs of these old brothers who fought together in the past, although Zhang Wu was reluctant and a little angry in his heart, he didn't want to see them not die on the battlefield, but under the sword of his own people, and let them return to Yuan Qi's side, maybe it was the right choice.
