Qiu Fu, a brave general under the command of King Zhao, started out as a soldier and served in King Zhao's Mansion. After years of hard work, he was awarded the title of guarding thousands of households in King Zhao's Mansion.
He is a kindhearted man by nature, but he is brave in battle. Although he is not smart enough, he is always at the vanguard of the army in every battle, and he dares to go deep with his troops.
This is his advantage and also his disadvantage.
In previous battles, he always advanced with light cavalry and always took the lead in every battle.
The god of luck often stood by Qiu Fu's side. Although his several breakthroughs were full of dangers, he finally won every time.
It just happened that the God of Victory failed to favor him this time.
In fact, outside the camp, the offensive of King Zhao's army was already very fierce. The Longwu army under the command of Zhao Wu was already in danger and on the verge of collapse.
Qiu Fu felt that his vision was getting darker and darker, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of Zhao Wang's soldiers rushing to kill him.
"It's very close! What a pity!"
Qiu Fu's eyes completely turned into darkness, and his life began to pass irrevocably.
Zhao Tianlin's sword energy only passed through Qiu Fu's throat, leaving a shallow wound, but its energy had already cut off his meridians and vitality.
After Zhao Tianlin swung the sword, he seemed to have exhausted all his energy and energy. He became unsteady and fell to the ground.
"General!!"
"General!"
The soldiers from the Guards Battalion rushed forward and helped the weak Zhao Tianlin up.
A veteran who was nearly eighty years old spent his last effort and turned into an unparalleled sword to kill the enemy. In the end, he also died with a smile on his face. This kind of plot is not uncommon in the mouths of Jianghu novels and storytellers.
There are not many entertainment projects these days. Drinking and gambling are prohibited in Longwu Army, and there are no decent entertainment activities. I heard that reading is the best entertainment activity of Longwu Army and even Tiance Army.
Including Zhao Tianlin's close guards, almost all of them were loyal fans of the storybook. When they saw Zhao Tianlin swing that amazing sword, they slowly fell down, thinking that the sky was going to fall.
After listening to the explanation from the guard on the side, Zhao Tianlin showed a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"A bunch of little bastards, I can live for at least twenty years! Why do you want me to die so soon!?"
Zhao Tianlin pretended to be furious. For a veteran like him who has been fighting on the battlefield for most of his life, he has long been pessimistic about life and death. If the earthen pot is broken by the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. If he can really die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather, maybe he will still be dead after all eternity.
A beautiful story.
"Hurry up and help me up, this battle is not over yet!"
Although most of Qiu Fu's troops who broke in from the back mountain were annihilated and the rest were captured, the battle was only half won.
In the camp, the Longwu Army led by Zhao Wu was still struggling to support them.
Now it is necessary to add a weight that is enough to determine the outcome of the stalemate between the two sides, such as the 6,000 elite soldiers of the Longwu Army at this moment; such as the head of the enemy general Qiu Fu.
At the main entrance of Longwu Army's right camp, the defenders of Longwu Army could no longer hold on and began to retreat inwards.
This made the surrounding soldiers of King Zhao feel like sharks smelling the smell of blood. After fighting for so long, Long Wujun finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Although this was not an siege, being the first to break into the main camp of the Longwu Army was no less than an achievement. This made the soldiers of King Zhao's rebel army even more motivated to fight.
They followed King Zhao to rebel, didn't they just want to make a wife, a shadow, and a general to become a marquis?!
The achievement of ascending first is the first military achievement.
Killing generals, holding flags, ascending first, and leaping, these are the four highest military merits in the army, and they are also the shortcut for ordinary soldiers to reach the sky in one step.
If you can achieve one of these four military merits, it will not be difficult to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain.
Although King Zhao was ambitious and jealous, he was also a man with great ambitions, and the clearer his military merit system became.
The initial stage of an entrepreneurial team is often the cleanest and clearest. Generally, internal conflicts will become apparent only after some achievements have been made.
The strength of King Zhao is not as good as that of the Emperor. If his military achievements are not clear, how can he compete with the imperial court?!
Because of the importance of military merit, King Zhao's rebels became more brave and even crazy.
Wang Cong finally had a smile on his face. He had been fighting all night, and now the results were finally coming.
Although this cultivation process is very arduous, Wang Cong believes that the fruit is also sweet.
Just when he and the soldiers of King Zhao's army thought that Long Wu's army was about to retreat, another elite army of thousands of people came out from the central camp of Long Wu's army.
The Longwu soldiers who were originally unable to withstand the attack at the camp gate suddenly received support from fresh troops. They immediately stabilized their position and began to counterattack.
The sudden appearance of this troop of troops made Wang Cong feel that something was wrong.
The Longwu Army just now was clearly at the end of its rope. If the enemy general still had strength, he would never have hidden it until now. This was simply dancing on a tightrope.
As the Longwu Army was still able to produce such elite troops at this moment, Wang Cong already had a very bad guess in his mind - the soldiers and horses of King Zhao's army that attacked the rear army had been surrounded and annihilated by the Longwu Army.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain where the Longwu Army soldiers and horses came from.
And from Wang Cong's point of view, the soldiers and horses that suddenly came to support were obviously more elite than ordinary soldiers, and they were probably the guard battalion of the veteran general Zhao Tianlin.
Although there were speculations in his mind, Wang Cong did not indicate that this was the moment when the morale of the army was available. If he captured the camp gate in one go, King Zhao's army would have the initiative to advance, attack, and retreat to defend.
After receiving reinforcements, the battle situation changed and the balance was restored, but the soldiers of King Zhao's army became more brave as Wang Cong expected. Even when faced with the sudden reinforcements of Long Wu's army, they fought back and forth without falling behind at all.
wind.
"Bang the drums and cheer!" Wang Cong said to the guards on the side.
Morale is available and military morale is available. This is a good opportunity to launch a massive attack!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The thick but rapid sound of drum beats sounded in the night. This was the sound of offensive drum beats, inspiring and extremely exciting.
After a long battle, Zhao Wangjun, who was already exhausted, heard the sound of drums and knew that this was Wang Cong's general attack order.
The originally tired body seemed to burst out with blood and strength again amid the sound of drums.
Human potential is huge. If you don't squeeze yourself, you won't know how big your potential is.
The various units of King Zhao's army had already seen the hope of victory from the defeat of Long Wu Army. Now they heard the drumbeat of a full-scale attack. Their morale was boosted again. They shouted loudly and waved their swords to attack Long Wu Army's camp.
This was a strong attack, but it was also the last attack by King Zhao's army.
If we can defeat the right camp of the Longwu Army in one fell swoop, then it will be no problem.
But if the Longwu Army still resists the offensive, Wang Cong will have to withdraw his troops when morale increases.
Nearly eight hours of continuous attacks have brought the 100,000 soldiers and horses of King Zhao's army to their psychological and physical limits. If they are not careful, the morale of the troops will be unstable, and there is even the possibility of mutiny.
This was Wang Cong's last ditch effort.
But just when the entire army of King Zhao's army pressed forward, the flag of the central army commander of Longwu Army actually moved forward, and did not stop until it reached the wooden wall of the main entrance of the camp.
Wang Cong looked at the large banner of the Chinese army and wondered, is General Zhao going to fight to the death?
But unfortunately, he guessed wrong. Zhao Tianlin was not going to fight to the death. He saw countless torches suddenly erected on the wall of Tumu's camp, illuminating this section of the wooden wall extremely clearly.
King Zhao's army, which was currently attacking on a large scale, seemed to be attracted by this scene, and even the pace of the attack slowed down slightly.
A veteran with white beard and hair appeared in the firelight. Although he was old, he was still majestic and mighty, making people fearful.
As the veteran appeared, a spear slowly stood up, and there was a head on top of the spear.
In order to allow these Zhao Wangjun to see clearly the face of his head, Zhao Tianlin ordered people to clean Qiu Fu's head after ordering it to be cut off.
Under the firelight of the surrounding torches, the head's face was reflected very clearly.
"This...this seems to be General Qiu!?" A captain suddenly exclaimed.
"You are so presumptuous! How dare you confuse the public and shake the morale of the army with your monstrous words!?" The guerrilla general on the side was anxious. His captain actually said such stupid things.
This person's avatar does not look like Qiu Fu. I am a guerrilla general and I don't know better than you, but can you say this now?!
Whether it is true or false, it will shake the morale of the military!
Your kid is not a spy of the Longwu Army, is he?
Before the guerrilla general could utter his words of rebuke, Zhao Tianlin, who was standing on the wooden wall, spoke first, "The traitorous general Qiu Fu wanted to sneak attack the rear camp of our Longwu Army under the cover of darkness. He has been executed by the governor! His head was taken to show the public.
. All officers and soldiers should put down their weapons now, and those who kneel down and be bound will be spared from death. Anyone who is stubborn and continues to cause chaos will be like this thief!"
Zhao Tianlin's powerful voice echoed in the night sky. Although there was a hint of lack of stamina in it, it was not important anymore. What was important was the content of Zhao Tianlin's words.
Qiu Fu is dead! He was discovered because of his sneak attack on the rear camp of Longwu Army and was beheaded.
Qiu Fu is the supreme commander of King Zhao's army of more than 100,000 people, and many people in the army know him.
Ordinary soldiers may not be able to completely identify it, but the middle and lower-level generals have accepted that the news of Qiu Fu's murder is true.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving these middle- and lower-level officers at a loss as to what to do with themselves?!
It wasn’t long after the army was launched, and the big victory battle hadn’t even begun yet! The general was beheaded!?
Although Wang Cong, the temporary commander-in-chief, was also in a state of turmoil, he could not believe this at this moment.
"This is a conspiracy of the Longwu Army. They are already at their wits' end and can only use this small means to block our attack. General Qiu Fu is returning to the camp to help. It's all fake!"
Wang Cong sent his own soldiers to calm down the restless soldiers, and it did have a certain effect.
After all, the general personally led his troops to sneak attack on the enemy's rear camp, and then was beheaded by the enemy. This story is still a bit too fantasy for ordinary soldiers, and it is really difficult to accept it.
Just when the generals of King Zhao's army were trying their best to appease him, Zhao Tianlin once again held up something, which was a gorgeous Houjin sword.
This was the sword that King Zhao rewarded Qiu Fu for his bravery against Hou Jin. The reward was given to Qiu Fu in front of the entire army of King Zhao, and many people knew about it.
This sword is also inlaid with several high-quality Eastern beads, making it difficult to fake.
Dong pearls are round and large in texture and crystal clear in color. Because they are naturally formed, they are hard to obtain and extremely precious.
This was the favorite of the royal family of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Qiu Fu's sword was the sword of Wanyan Aguda, the founder of the Later Jin Dynasty. Its workmanship and forging are all top-notch and difficult to imitate.
When he saw the knife appear, Wang Cong knew that today's defeat was irreversible.
"Isn't that the precious sword that the prince gave to General Qiu?!" Veteran soldiers and junior officers in the army were shaken when they saw this sword. General Qiu seemed to be really dead.
But the young and newly recruited soldiers were still confused and were asking each other, "What kind of sword is it?!"
"Let me tell you, this is the sword that the prince gave to General Qiu in order to reward General Qiu for his bravery in battle. Legend has it that it is the sword of the Hou Jin royal family. General Qiu has always regarded it as his life and never leaves his body..."
"So, General Qiu has..."
Conversations like this kept ringing out among King Zhao's army, and the morale of the army was in chaos, which was irreversible. Unless King Zhao could personally appear on the battlefield at this time, no one would have the ability to stabilize the morale and morale of King Zhao's army, which was about to collapse, even if it was
Neither could Zhang Shimei, known as the number one general in King Zhao's army.
After a brief period of silence, the camp of King Zhao's rebels suddenly began to become chaotic, like boiling water, which was difficult to control.
"General Qiu has died in the battle, let's run for our lives!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
"The Confederate army is too scary! Let's retreat quickly!"
The middle and lower-level officers can no longer control their own troops!
Wang Cong was considered a very talented general. When chaos broke out in his Guards camp, he suddenly drew his sword and killed several captains and lieutenants who wanted to retreat, temporarily stabilizing the morale of the Guards camp.
"There are also those who deceive the public with their evil words, just like these three thieves!"
The blood dripping from Wang Cong's sword forced the guard camp to calm down.
The situation is no longer controllable. Wang Cong must now ensure his control over the guard camp. Otherwise, once the 100,000-strong army is defeated, Wang Cong will not only be unable to control the troops, but his own safety will also become a problem.
Standing on the wooden wall, Zhao Tianlin could clearly see the changes in King Zhao's army. The King Zhao's army in front had begun to retreat uncontrollably... No, it cannot be called a retreat, it should be called a rout.
However, King Zhao's army in the rear did not know what had happened, and was still remembering Wang Cong's military order just now.
On the verge of battle, an army ignores the general and kills the front army with the rear army.
The soldiers and horses of the rear army did not receive the order to retreat, and there was no sound of gold, while the soldiers and horses of the front army retreated.
In order to carry out the military order, the soldiers and horses of the rear army drew their swords at each other.
In several places, Zhao Wangjun actually started fighting on his own.
The soldiers in the front army are also very angry. I was fighting to death in the front. Now that the general is dead, you bastards hiding behind still dare to draw your sword.
The camp of King Zhao's army became more and more chaotic, but more of them retreated with the flow.
Zhao Tianlin, deputy commander of the Longwu Army, defeated King Zhao's army of 180,000 troops with 80,000 troops in front of Yanmen Pass. The world was shocked!
