With a "pop" sound, it was pierced not far in front of Guanqiu Xing, splashing a large amount of sand. The crossbow, which was as thick as a child's arm, seemed to be trembling unwillingly on the ground, wanting to fly up and eat in the next moment. Flesh and blood.
"The direction remains unchanged! Just a little higher!"
Someone seemed to be shouting loudly on the top of the city, and the voice was vaguely transmitted over. Before Guan Qiu Xing could look in the direction of the sound, he heard several consecutive crisp "boom boom" sounds, which made Guan Qiu Xing Suddenly the hair on my body stood on end!
"Wow--"
Guanqiu Xing only had time to utter such a shout when he saw a crossbow spear piercing down. When he hurriedly tried to avoid it, he couldn't find it in time. He only heard a pop and thick blood spurted out, and his crotch was covered with blood. The war horse had already received a crossbow in its chest and belly. It stumbled back, its hooves softened, and it crashed down to the side!
Guanqiu Xing wanted to get up, only to realize that he was already pressed by the horse. His chest, abdomen and legs were in great pain. He was so pressed that he could hardly breathe. He couldn't move at all. He could only scream in agony. .
In the blink of an eye, several other crossbows flew through the air, buzzing, whizzing down one after another, loess flying, blood spurting, screams and the sound of broken bones and tendons mixed together, it was extremely tragic.
"General! Save the general!"
Guanqiu Xing's personal guards did not care to check their own safety, and rushed forward. They tried to cover up the dead horse while trying to push or pull it, and dragged Guanqiu Xing from under the horse's body. When he came out, he discovered that Guanqiu Xing's left leg might have been injured by a crossbow or something else, and a huge bloody hole opened up. The blood was flowing like a spring without any money, and was mixed with the blood of the war horse. Together, half of Guanqiu Xing's body was dyed red.
At this moment, Guan Qiu Xing's personal guards could not care about anything else. They hugged or resisted in a panic. They put Guan Qiu Xing on the back of a war horse, then beat the horse and retreated.
Guanqiu Xing's central army originally had a complete group of regular pawns and nearly a thousand cavalry. Normally, if there were strong lieutenants present, they could still hold up the scene. However, the main general of the central army was suddenly injured, and there was nothing special about it. After explaining, Wang Zhong led his men to attack at the east gate again, and he was suddenly at a loss. Guanqiu Xing's personal guards followed him stupidly...
The sudden movement of the banner of the Xingzhong Army in Guanqiu immediately attracted the attention of Xun Chen's men. Xun Chen did not need any special instructions at all, but he already started shouting loudly. For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be at a standstill, and then the noise suddenly became even louder. When the sound was heard, Guanqiu's troops were immediately like flies without heads, and they all became confused with a "buzz" sound.
When they arrived, they were as thick as ants clinging to honey, and when they left, they were as chaotic as trees falling and hozens scattered. The soldiers of Guanqiu Xing originally only wanted to protect Guanqiu Xing from the crossbows on the city, but they attacked Guanqiu Xing for a day. Amid the noisy shouts, the soldiers could not tell what had happened to their general. They just knew that the central government had downed the flag, and their morale suddenly collapsed...
Wang Zhong was fighting hard with his soldiers on the city wall. Suddenly he heard a roar from below the city. Then he turned around and saw the flag of the commander of the Chinese Army in Guanqiu Xing staggering to the ground. His heart suddenly felt like it was a cold day in March. A basin of cold water was poured on my face!
Wang Zhong is actually not stupid. He can naturally think that if Guanqiu Xing wins, then the previous defeat of the rear camp will be nothing and can be written off. Wang Zhong may not be rewarded with many meritorious deeds, but at least he will not be rewarded with anything. Once the guilt is investigated, and once Guanqiu Xing is defeated, even if Wang Zhong is alive, he may not be able to get much benefit when he returns to Guanqiu Xing's army, or Guanqiu Xing will be dragged to take the blame...
Looking back, I saw that the ladder that was originally put up on the city wall had been pushed down by the Zhengxi soldiers or by Guanqiuxing's own soldiers who turned around and fled. I looked around and saw that I had no intention of fighting, and there was no way to retreat. Wang Zhong sighed, threw the sword in his hand to the ground, and said to Zhang Lie, his Zhengxi opponent who had been fighting for a long time in front of him: "Now that I have been defeated... I have surrendered... I want to kill or behead you, please do as you please. …”
Wang Zhong took the lead, and the rest of the Guanqiu Xing soldiers who were still holding on on the Pingyang city wall looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the Guanqiu Xing battle flags hanging backwards, and gradually they all put down their troops. blade……
Zhang Lie nodded, somewhat admiring Wang Zhong's bravery. He put away his sword and shouted loudly: "He is considered a figure. Everyone who comes has been tied up! Report to Xun Dongcao and then we will make a decision!"
…………………………
Zhao Yun and his cavalry no longer care about keeping in line with the infantry brigade led by Tai Shici. Various shapes hurriedly passed through the loess hills and canyons of Bingbei, stirring up yellow dust all over the sky.
Even though there was one man and two horses, everyone was still a little tired, but the situation was like putting out a fire, and there was no way he could neglect it. Therefore, both Zhao Yun and the rest of the cavalry had solemn expressions and rushed on at full speed.
The people were lightly equipped, with only the helmet and breastplate remaining. As for the arm guards, leg guards, skirts, armor and leaves, they were all removed. The dry food was only two days worth of picking up, and the rest was put behind the infantry. Over there, the weight can be reduced as much as possible. Even the arrows are only carried ten per person, stuck like wings in the wallet beside the bow pouch.
Other sundries were abandoned to the infantry.
Cai Yong died, and the academy was in trouble!
When Xun Chen once again sent a fast horse to convey the news to Fei Qian, not only Fei Qian was furious, but even a normally calm person like Zhao Yun could not restrain his anger!
Fei Qian screamed at that time and almost fell off his horse. As the saying goes, a king humiliates his ministers to death, not to mention Cai Yong himself was kind to Zhao Yun. After hearing this bad news, Zhao Yun wanted to immediately urge his horse to raise his gun and put an end to Wu. Qiu Xing!
The respect for knowledge in the Han Dynasty was beyond the imagination of later generations!
There really is such a title and allusion to the one-word master. Xi Ping Shi Jing is a group of great scholars led by Cai Yong. In order to correct the scriptures that have been handed down in the world due to copying errors or oral pronunciation errors, the scriptures This revised edition was specially revised for the inconsistencies in the text. In a sense, although Cai Yong and others were under the emperor's orders, they were also "calligraphy masters" for students all over the world!
What's more, Zhao Yun was recommended by Fei Qian before and could sit in the audience when Cai Yong taught, which is equivalent to being half of Cai Yong's disciples!
Now that Cai Yong has died, how can he not make Feiqian, Zhao Yun and others furious?
Although Zhao Yun led the cavalry and light cavalry to rush forward at this time, according to the art of war, it was a taboo, because although this place is not like the ravine-filled loess plateau terrain like Longyou Xiliang, there are many valleys and hills that obstruct the view, and the roads are winding.
It is not suitable for a large group of cavalry to run at high speed, and the field of vision is not wide. If it is ambushed, it will definitely be a defeat.
However, fortunately, Huchuquan in the Gaonu area has been captured, and the Yang family does not have many cavalry, so there is no need to worry about the cavalry for the time being. As for the Yang family's infantry, they want to know Zhao Yun's advance in advance.
The route and finding a suitable ambush location are simply wishful thinking.
In addition, Pingyang is not far away at this time, so everyone knows that the only test is under Pingyang City! Wherever it is close to Fenshui, there is a wide flat land, which is suitable for fighting, and it is also suitable for cavalry to charge!
Zhao Yun brought these thousand cavalry not only to rescue Pingyang, but also to avenge Cai Yong. Every time he thought of Cai Yong's voice and smile in the hall of the academy, Zhao Yun felt a constant anger in his heart.
Blocked in the chest!
"Send the order! Order the front troops to quickly go to the foot of Taoshan for repairs!" Zhao Yun ordered, "Inspect the situation and report to the general immediately!"
The ordering soldier responded loudly and rode away.
…………………………
At the top of Pingyang City, curls of black smoke rose into the sky.
Corpses were strewn all over the city. Although most of them were from Guanqiu's troops, there were also many soldiers who conquered the West and were stained with blood on the battlefield. The war came to an end for the time being. The civilians carried water and food to the top of the city to distribute, and at the same time they collected the casualties.
The soldiers carried them down to the city.
"Xun Dongcao! Why don't you let me attack?"
After all, Zhang Xiu was younger. After seeing Guan Qiu Xing being escorted by his personal guards and escaping, his original attack on Pingyang suddenly collapsed, and Xun Chen did not order the pursuit. He couldn't help it anymore, so he went up to the city to find Xun Chen and asked
.
Xun Chen watched with cold eyes the collapse of Guanqiu's military formation, and saw the soldiers and civilians below the city mingling together, throwing away weapons and equipment everywhere. He laughed, pointed with his finger, and said: "Such soldiers are nothing like bandits."
Weird? Isn’t it a sin to chase after someone in a hurry and scatter them in all directions, destroying Zhuang He? What’s more…”
As he spoke, Xun Chen's face gradually darkened. He seemed to be staring at the Guanqiuxing Camp in the distance, and then seemed to be looking further away, and said: "I know Zhang Junhou's heart, but Cai's death
, how can we not retaliate? How can such a stupid thing be martyred by the Cai family? Zhang Junhou should rest first, which has its own strength! What's more..."
Xun Chen glanced to the west and fell silent. It was enough to defeat and kill Guanqiu Xing and defend Pingyang City, which could offset the inability to protect Taoshan to some extent. What's more, something happened to Cai Yong and he was marching to the west.
The general's anger is bound to rise, and there must always be something left for General Zhengxi to vent his anger...
The current expedition to the west is no better than the expedition to the west back then.
When the common man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps forward. When the general is angry, even if Guanqiu Xing's few men and horses are sacrificed, it will be light. I'm afraid the next step will be...
Xun Chen stood on the city and looked to the south. The camps in the distance were no longer Xun Chen's goals and he didn't care about them anymore. He looked further and considered more... …
The crowned clan in the world, haha, now it seems that they are really the fools in the world!
Heaven reincarnates, civil and military officials change, Wen Kui's star falls, and Greedy Wolf's star rises!
Who doesn’t know that war is used in troubled times, and literature is used in prosperous times, but who would have thought that this stupid Guanqiu Xing, this incompetent Yang family, the crown prince in the world, would actually start this troubled world with his own hands!
Zhang Xiu looked at Xun Chen's expression and then looked into the distance, feeling a little enlightened and then feeling a little scared for some reason.
…………………………
Seeing the pitiful appearance of Guanqiu's troops, Zheng Tai's heart almost exploded with depression!
What the hell is this?
Guan Qiu Xing was seriously injured and lost too much blood. He was already unconscious and half of his foot stepped into the gate of hell...
Damn Wuqiu Xing!
Zheng Tai cursed secretly, then turned to the soldiers beside him and said: "If you ask for something, set off immediately. You can't stay here any longer. You must retreat to the east of the river immediately!" Under this situation, Zheng Tai was not able to do anything for a moment. He didn't want to stay too long, but he didn't dare to let him go on his own, in case something unexpected happened along the way...
But the problem is that most of the soldiers around Zheng Tai are just following Guan Qiu Xing's orders. But now that Guan Qiu Xing is unconscious and unable to take charge, he comes to ask Zheng Tai for his opinion, but he doesn't expect Zheng Tai to retreat without saying a word. , and even retreated immediately, unable to help but hesitate.
One of Guanqiu Xing's personal guards looked left and right, exchanged glances with others, and said: "Now the army is depressed. The various departments are mixed together and have not yet been reorganized. How can we set off? We retreat slowly. We have a chance to survive, but if the queues get messed up again... not to mention that the general will not be able to do it right now..."
"General...he..." Zheng Tai's face was ashen and he suppressed the curse. "How is the general's injury? When can we set off?" Although Zheng Tai was somewhat anxious, he wanted to leave Guanqiu Xing alone. Escape was still not possible. After all, Guan Qiu Xing was only injured, but he had not yet died.
Why don't you just die on the battlefield and come here to drag him down!
"This..." Guanqiu Xing's personal guard hesitated and said, "We'll have to wait until tomorrow..."
Zheng Tai stared at Pingyang City, which looked like a ferocious beast lying there. He looked for a while to make sure that no soldiers were coming out of Pingyang City. He thought about it for a while, and finally nodded slowly and said : "That's it..."
If Zheng Tai had followed his original intention, he would have wanted to run away right now, but he also knew that he had already run away once before. If he left his soldiers and ran for his life again this time, let alone whether he would be able to escape, he would not be able to escape in the future. His future is bound to be ruined, his reputation will be ruined, and he will no longer have any hope.
Moreover, what Guanqiu Xing's subordinates said was not wrong. The general was defeated at the city and suffered heavy losses. With the morale of the army weakened, he could only reorganize the soldiers in the camp first, return them to the system, and form them into formations. Otherwise, Wouldn't it be doomed to collapse if we retreat hastily?
Guanqiu Xing lost his scout cavalry before, and later he was injured because of Guanqiu Xing. Zheng Tai was a guest minister and was not the deputy general of the Chinese army sent by Yang Biao. Although he was entrusted by Guanqiu Xing to lead the front camp for the time being, he was only acting on his behalf after all. If the defeated army can be sorted out and brought back, then Zheng Tai himself can wash away some of the filth on his body. Even if he cannot become a person who can turn the tide, it is good to have a reputation of being fearless in the face of danger...
etc!
Zheng Tai suddenly thought of something and said eagerly: "It is announced to the outside world that General Cheng is only slightly injured! It is not serious! Order each battalion to strengthen their vigilance and set up more bonfire sentries! Order the cavalry captain of the Chinese army to patrol outside the camp, thousands of Don't be careless..."
