Seeing everyone's astonished look, Di Jiajing smiled and said: "What's wrong with this sergeant? They are also my sergeants of the Jin Dynasty, and they should all be colleagues in the same robe. Let's loosen our ties."
Jiao Da hesitated for a moment, thinking that with so many people here, these two captives would not be able to escape even if they had wings, so he loosened the ropes tied to the two detective horses.
"Come on, come on, let's cover the wounds of these two brothers first." Di Jiajing continued to say.
Jiao Da patted his prisoner on the shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "It's your luck. My Lord is kind, please bear with the pain."
He looked at the other person and nodded, first "tear" the cloth where the man was hit by the arrow was torn apart, then he took out a dagger and said: "I'm going to attack, brother, please bear with me." Then he wristed his wrist.
Using force, the dagger slowly penetrated along the arrowhead, and then dug hard again. With a scream from the detective horse, the arrowhead had been dug out by him. He poured some more gold sore medicine and bandaged it with a circle of cloth.
, then he stood up and stood aside.
"Tell me, has Zhang Zhenglu already captured Yangzhai and sent you to deliver a message to the rear?"
The two Tanma looked at each other in fear. The Tanma who had been healed by Jiao Da's digging arrow suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Excellency, my lord Zhenglu has indeed captured Yangzhai.
"
"We are born from the same roots, so why rush to fight against each other?" Di Jiajing recited this poem leisurely, "We are all monks of the Jin Dynasty. I will not kill you. If you go back to Yangzhai and tell you to conquer the captives, just say
Fan Yang and Di Jiajing have led the army to block the upper army general Shen Fu, asking you to conquer Haosheng and think about it and stop fighting for the traitor Li Lun. Jiao Da, send the two of them across the river."
"Brother Di," Chen Min said as he watched Jiao Da and others leave, "What should we do now?"
Di Jiajing stood up and looked around, and everyone around him also looked at him. Compared with the depression after the defeat in the morning, after eating a meal and catching two probing horses, the mood of these people was obviously high.
"Brothers," Di Jiajing looked at the remaining 352 people and said loudly: "They must have learned the information about Zhang Hong's defeat of Long Xiang, and the information about Zhang Hong crossing the river and occupying Yangzhai, they
We don’t know yet, but this is our opportunity to win. It’s already past midnight, and there are less than two hours until dark.”
As Di Jiajing spoke, he held a hard branch in his hand and began to draw on the ground. As he drew, he said: "Look, everyone, this line is Yingshui, and our location is here.
He pointed at a place with a branch, then pointed to a place in the northwest direction above and said: "This is Yangcheng, and this is Yanban Pass. Our rebel army is strong, Zhang Hong's sneak attack is a dangerous move, and the army
General Shen Fu is familiar to me, and his military style has always been prudent. If Zhang Hong loses, he will retreat to Yanban Pass. If Zhang Hong wins, he will advance. If what I expected is true, Shen Fu has already left Yanban Pass and headed towards Yangzhai.
March on."
"Everyone, it is precisely because Shen Fu is not sure of victory. What did they think when they met us?" Di Jiajing said loudly with unquestionable confidence in his words at this time: "I must think that Zhang Hong will win first and then defeat the whole army.
They were destroyed, and our vanguard is preparing to attack Yansaka Pass. With such a mentality, no matter how many people there are, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Brothers, please check whether your armor is neatly dressed." Di Jiajing said as he walked over to check everyone's armor one by one. "On the battlefield, armor is the second life. You can't be careless at all."
As he spoke, he saw that a sergeant's armor was not tied up properly. He smiled, patted the sergeant, and helped him tie up the armor again. Seeing that everyone had finished checking, he was so heroic. The ground shouted loudly: "Mount your horse, let's go north to kill the enemy!"
"Go north and kill the enemy!" Everyone on horseback responded in unison with their weapons raised high, causing the birds in the forest to fly away in droves.
In the south of Yangcheng City, a team that stretches for several miles is marching southeast along the official road. Just look at this team's flags fluttering, their fine armor is dazzling, and their majestic and mighty momentum is astonishing.
"General, should we speed up a little bit?" A strong man in his thirties with a short beard said to General Shen Fu on the side of the avenue.
Shen Fu also has the surname Shen, but he has nothing to do with Shen Xiu. If there is any similarity, it is that both of them have the surname Shen, and both of them came from poor families. Shen Fu has been in the military for many years, so he can be regarded as a A veteran general in the Jin army, but he came from a humble family and never had the chance to take charge of his own affairs. Since Shen Xiu came to Shangluo from Chang'an, he deliberately made friends with many people from poor families. One of the words he kept saying was We all need to look after each other and support each other. Shen Fu recognized Shen Xiu's idea very much. After Shen Xiu helped King Zhao to depose Queen Jia, Shen Fu even asked to marry Shen Xiu, so that the two became a nominal family. .
Among the leading troops, Shen Fu was as steady as a mountain, Zhang Hong was as swift and fierce as a tiger, and Shi Yi was as cunning as a fox.
Since Qi Wang Huangfu Lun raised the banner of crusade against Zhao Wang Huangfulun, his momentum has been well known. According to Shen Fu's idea, no matter how well equipped the leading soldiers are in the world, and how brave and good at fighting, they can't hold back the opponent's numbers. Too many. The coalition forces were defeated, but King Zhao could not be defeated. His suggestion was to defend Shangluo Baguan, establish an invincible position first, and then wait for opportunities for the rebels to take advantage of. He said to Shen Xiu before setting off. However, if Dong Zhuo of Shang Dynasty did not move the capital to Chang'an, but instead defended Shangluo, and then defeated the coalition forces one by one after civil strife broke out, then there would be no subsequent development in history.
Shen Xiu was noncommittal about this. However, in the end, it was Shen Fu who was the coach of Dongxia instead of Zhang Hong. Zhao Wang Huangfulun personally gave him the Jie Yue in front of Duanmen so that he could control the generals.
Shen Fu fully agreed with Zhang Hong's surprise attack on Longxiang General Dong Ai. When the two armies are fighting, morale is crucial. A great victory in the field is a huge encouragement for one's own side, but a major blow to the enemy. . Dong Ai, Shen Fu, has worked with him before and knows him very well. This person is of noble character, fair in doing things, and treats his subordinates with humility and courtesy. He is happy when he hears his own mistakes and hurts when he hears others' mistakes. According to Shen Fu's inner feelings It is said that in the period of peace, Dong Ai's talent should be the choice of the three princes. However, Dong Ai is not the leader in the battle formation.
Before Zhang Hong set off, Shen Fu specially emphasized his tone and warned Zhang Hong: No matter what the outcome of the victory, he was not allowed to cross the Yingshui River. When he received a report from Zhang Hong's scouting horse that Zhang Hong had defeated Dong Ai, he launched a surprise attack on Yang without stopping. Zhai was furious on the spot.
This put him in a dilemma.
If you don't support Zhang Hong, even if Zhang Hong's army goes deep into Yangzhai, it will be destroyed sooner or later. If you don't save him, let alone the national law, the morale of your own army will plummet.
But rescue Zhang Hong, which is contrary to the plan I made at the beginning.
"It's so abominable!" Shen Fu cursed bitterly: "This Hejianzi has always refused to obey me. This time he went deep alone. I'm afraid he had planned it all the time, just to force me to march and force me to follow his plan. Fight against King Qi. Damn it, Hejianzi, do you really think I can’t kill you?”
Thinking of this, Shen Fu waved his hand to the strong man who asked for his order, and said in a deep voice: "Go forward another twenty miles and set up camp, and then cross the river tomorrow. By the way, have you reported back on the expedition horses sent out? Yes. No latest news about Zhang Zhenglu?"
"Reporting to the general, we haven't received the latest news from General Zhenglu."
"Let's investigate again and report as soon as there is any news!"
"Yes, General!"
The general was about to ride away and lay out Shen Fu's order when he saw a horseman come forward with blood all over his body. When they got close to them, the horse rolled over his saddle and fell down, kneeling down on one knee and said: "Report to the general, the enemy's forward is coming. It's so fierce, it's less than twenty miles away from our army."
The strong man's general's face changed and he said: "How many troops are there in the enemy?"
"The knights they blocked the road were very skilled. We moved forward bravely, but were defeated by them one by one. From a distance, we saw that they were all wearing armor, with smoke rising into the sky, and their troops and horses were very majestic."
"Is there any news about General Zhenglu?"
"The villain has not seen the troops sent by General Zhenglu."
"General, what should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Shen Fu said coldly: "When the soldiers come, we will block the water and use the soil to cover up. Each battalion will stop advancing and prepare to meet the enemy."
"My subordinates have the order!"
After hearing this order, everyone around Shen Fu responded with clasped fists, and then rode towards each camp one after another.
"Stop advancing, get in position, and prepare to meet the enemy!" For a moment, the voices of the commanders of each battalion came from behind.
Seeing the busy formation changes of each battalion without any confusion, Shen Fu's eyes showed a look of satisfaction. He has always been proud of being a general among the leaders of the Central Army. This is the personal army of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty. This is It is the strongest army in the world! In this head-to-head confrontation in the world, Shen Fu believes that the leader of the army is powerful and can crush any opponent.
Morale can only be boosted, not vented!
Shen Fu had made up his mind at this moment. After defeating this opponent who dared to come and stroke the tiger's beard, he immediately returned to Yanban Pass. As for General Zhang Hong, since he liked to go deep alone, he would just go and die on his own. Leading so many brave soldiers cannot be trapped in the heavy siege of the Zhendong coalition forces because of his recklessness.
"Stop!" Di Jiajing looked at the central leader's army who had quickly arranged their formation on a high slope, and frowned slightly. Along the way, he asked everyone to raise the flag, and the knights behind were dragging them. A branch brought up dust all over the sky. He had exhausted all the tactics he could think of to deceive the enemy, and now, it was time for the two armies to face off.
"The Central Leading Army is indeed the strongest army in the world." Looking at the neat rows of military formations over there, looking at the exquisite large shields and spears, Di Jiajing took a deep breath. He first appeared in front of everyone. As soon as he rode out, he turned his horse's head and looked at everyone. Looking at these young faces, some looked hesitant, and more had fear in their eyes.
Anyone who sees these tens of thousands of well-equipped and invincible troops in neat battle formations will feel fear in their hearts.
"Brothers." Di Jiajing suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and said passionately: "The leader of the Jinzhong Army who is standing in front of us is known as the most powerful army in the world. It is because of them that the traitor Huangfulun
Only those like Shen Xiu and Shen Xiu dare to commit regicide in public. I know you are a little scared now, and to be honest, I am a little scared myself."
"But this is shameful!" Di Jiajing paused and shouted with a louder voice: "What is shameful is that the monarch dies and we, the ministers, cannot seek justice for him or kill the traitors. The ancients said: The master insults his ministers
Death. It is unbearable for a monarch to be humiliated and his ministers to be humiliated, let alone to be killed by traitors in public."
"Everyone is destined to die, which may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. Brothers, do you want to die in obscurity on your bed one day in the future, or do you want to make a big splash today so that the world will always remember our bravery?
My loyalty?"
"We are all willing to follow Di Xun and fight him vigorously!" Chen Min was the first to respond loudly.
"We are all willing to follow Di Chu!" At this time, everyone's fear was completely gone, and everyone shouted excitedly. This shout reached the leader over there, and many people suddenly changed their expressions.
.They could all hear the death wish from the shouts.
"Okay!" Di Jiajing shouted with determination, and then he rode over one by one with his long sword and struck each other with the spears in the hands of the knights standing in the first row, shouting: "Get in line!"
Everyone controlled their horses to form two neat lines, and their eyes followed Di Jiajing, who was moving forward into the wind.
After Di Jiajing finished fighting with everyone else's weapons, he rode his horse to the front of the team and said, "First row, raise your spear!"
"Wow!" After hearing Di Jiajing's order, the knights in the first row raised their spears horizontally, and the metal spear heads reflected a throbbing light under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Brothers, follow me and charge!" Di Jiajing waved his sword forward, clamped his horse on his hip, and rushed out first.
Behind him were 357 strong men on cavalry, all wearing armor, and their eyes were filled with a fearless aura that would never return.
At this moment, the sun was setting. The fiery red light shone on them and on the faces of the central leaders standing opposite. A chilling air suddenly filled the battlefield, making people feel as if they were suppressed and breathless.
Come.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
The soldiers on both sides could almost clearly see the hair and beards on the other side's face, and they could feel the tense air breathed out by the other side.
"Boom!" There was a sound, and Di Jiajing and others broke into the battle formation on the right side of the central leader with overwhelming momentum.
"Why don't you fire arrows?" Shen Fu, a subordinate of the Chinese Army, saw this and shouted angrily: "What is Mo Yuan doing?"
"General," just as everyone around Shen Fu looked at each other, a scout horse quickly came to him, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and said loudly: "General Mo Yuan, who is showing off his power, escaped before the battle."
"What!" Shen Fu's eyes darkened when he heard the news. He shook his head slightly and forced himself to calm down. When he looked up, the army on the right had completely collapsed. He felt cold in his heart. At this moment, the army on the left
There was another roar from the side, and when I turned around to look, I saw that the formation on the left collapsed without a fight.
"Pfft!" Shen Fu was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. His eyes were in a trance, and he almost fell off the horse.
"General, leave quickly, our army has collapsed!" A knight rushed up and shouted with an anxious look on his face.
