Chapter 212 Scene 28: The Scarlet Armored Fire Prairie Six
In the second year of Zhaoxi, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, it was early morning. The sky was getting brighter and the stars and the moon were dimming. A touch of gold gradually lit up on the horizon. The golden dome of Wannian Palace, which overlooked the whole city, seemed to have lit up a bright fire in the blink of an eye.
, sparkled by the rising sun.
As the sun dispersed all the shadows on the ground, a silver-white team consisting of tens of thousands of people appeared in the sight of the defenders like mercury pouring on the black soil outside the city.
However, the appearance of Wei Liang's army did not cause much commotion in the city. Just after Pingdan, the guards stationed at each gate were still changing their posts in an orderly manner. The only difference was that the sound resounded throughout the city, but it didn't seem to matter at all.
The rumble of drums that no one cares about.
As early as a few days ago, after being ordered to leave the city and defeat the enemy at Longshou Crossing, and rushing to retreat in a hurry, Wuwei and the three guards of Xiaoqi had already retreated into the city. Zhu Er was also trampled to death by the chaotic horse hooves in the rebellious army.
Even the bones could not be recovered. However, at the moment, everyone in the city, from the rich and noble to the rich and famous, just sighed a little after tea and dinner, and no one planned to pack up their belongings and escape from the city as soon as possible.
And this was all due to the Shuodi Rebellion a hundred years ago. At that time, even though Ling Emperor Bai Jiangchun abandoned the city and refused to defend it, the defenders in the city and the people worked together to resist the enemy and refused to surrender.
The city wall successfully blocked hundreds of thousands of iron mountains outside the city until Guan Ning's soldiers marched northward, killing the barbarians and defeating them.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Yujing, the tall city walls that stand between them and Liang Jun, who are guarding the city outside, and have been reinforced several times since Bai Jiang Linran came to the throne, are like several insurmountable and impregnable talismans. No matter how strong the opponent's soldiers and horses are,
It is extremely sharp and can protect the entire city. Tiezhong Mountain back then could not attack Yujing, and it is equally impossible for Guan Ning's soldiers today.
However, before the first ray of sunshine from the east shone into the open door of Wannian Palace, the voices of two men arguing could be heard above the hall.
Kun Jie had already rushed into the city before the city gate was closed, and led his men into the city. But the calm and peaceful scene in front of him still surprised him. Although he tried his best to maintain his usual calmness in the palace at this time, he still
He couldn't hide the indescribable weird look on his face, and his tone became a little urgent:
"Today, you are still carefully preparing for your ascension to the throne! Could it be that the tense war outside the city is not a concern at all in your eyes?"
Although Gao Li was very disgusted with the person in front of him and was even more annoyed that the other person was wasting his time at this juncture, he still tried hard to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, bowed to Kun Jie who was pacing repeatedly in front of him, and walked unhurriedly
Responded:
"First of all, please be at ease. This Yujing City is absolutely impossible to be breached. Think of it a hundred years ago -"
But before he could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by the other party:
"You don't need to tell me what happened a hundred years ago!"
"I know that the Shuodi Rebellion a hundred years ago was also the work of the leader. However, according to my understanding, your Excellency did not expect that those barbarians would be blocked at Suoyang Pass, let alone
When we go to Yujing to besiege the city, we will fight for three years."
I never thought that the deacon elder, who had always obeyed Kun Jie's advice, would actually contradict him face to face.
The tall and thin man was stunned for a moment, and then asked in an expected tone:
"Do you actually think that two things in the world can follow the same trajectory? A hundred years ago, Emperor Dasheng retreated to Suoyang Pass, and Xu Muyan failed to capture it after being besieged for several months, so he had no choice but to stop at the northern foot of Tongyan Mountain. But. Now, Wei Liang's army broke through the blockade you set up at Suoyang Pass in just one night. How do you have the confidence to think that this land-based city can hold on?"
"The Battle of Suoyang Pass was the result of a treacherous plot by Lu Qiu Bo Rong. However, the city of Yujing was completely intact. As long as the defenders could obey orders and were issued with firebolts and muskets, no matter how strong the Liang soldiers were, , it is absolutely impossible to get close to the city, let alone easily break through the city gate!"
Gao Li suddenly raised his head and strode towards the gold-painted dragon chair placed on the high platform in front of him. He laughed wildly, as if he had fallen into madness:
"There are still three days, and the big day of my ascension to the throne will come in three days! At that time, everyone on the land will listen to my orders! First of all, this is an unprecedented opportunity for our family, which can only be encountered but cannot be sought!"
"How can this be a good opportunity?" Kun Jie snorted and glanced sideways at the other party.
"Isn't it? Isn't it just for the purpose of having a day like this when I first sent my subordinates to the palace? If everyone on the mainland obeys my orders, why should I fear that the people of the tribe will be hindered when they return to the mainland? In addition, the land is rich in resources and talents. Jiji, it will also be of great help in the search for the holy city in the north. It can even recruit civilians and open up mountains and rivers without having to waste the effort and sweat of the tribe. Isn't it considered a hundred benefits and no harm?"
"So, you have always had this plan in mind -"
Kun Jie's eyes flashed an imperceptible hint of coldness, but he quickly suppressed it and did not explode on the spot, "It's just that you haven't thought about it. If something unexpected happens now, it won't be like this." So what do you want?"
"This is the first Mingjian, and I am sincere in every word. It is to help you successfully find the Holy City, and also to allow the people of the tribe to fulfill their long-cherished wish for thousands of years, to measure the mountains and rivers of their homeland with their feet again, and to taste the things that can only be read in books. With delicacies and delicacies, you can breathe the sweet air again, instead of feeling miserable and self-pitying in the bitter salt water of the Chanying Sea all day long. When that day comes, our people should sing loudly and celebrate with us!"
Gao Li bowed his head to the ground again, with tears in his eyes.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have been moved by such a heart of fist. However, Kun Jie shook his head gently, stepped forward and held his shoulders:
"You - after all, you have stayed on land for too long, and you have indulged in the extravagance and extravagance of people on land, and have been blinded by the world. Don't forget that all the prosperity in front of you is all illusion. It was the reason why our ancestors set themselves on fire and destroyed themselves, and it was also the reason why my ancestors fled into the deep sea and lived in seclusion to hide from the world! Even so, are you still determined to be the emperor of the people on land? "
Hearing this, Gao Li's shoulders suddenly shook, but he didn't know how to answer. He just lowered his eyes and stiffened. However, the silence at this time was the acquiescence to the lanky man's question. Kun Jie sighed lightly. tone, and immediately changed the topic:
"When the dust of the siege of Yujing has settled, it will be the beginning of my march north to the Holy City. By then, I hope that the deacon elder will finally change his mind and walk side by side with me."
After that, the tall and lanky man put the wide cloak of his coat back on his body and left the palace without looking back.
At the same time, thirty miles north of Longshoudu, thirty miles south of the city, a chase that lasted for two days and three nights was gradually coming to an end.
Although there were only a thousand men of Ye Guo Zhou division wearing black clothes and black armor, they miraculously withstood wave after wave of attacks from Shuodi cavalry on the opposite side at the cost of only nine people being killed and dozens of people injured.
.However, what they didn’t know was that all this was due to the old relationship between the leader of the opposing formation and his comrades in the Han Gu Nianye army. They did not order their soldiers to charge with all their strength, but hoped that they could recognize the defeat.
It's decided, surrender.
Even so, Ye Guojun, who had not slept for a long time, was still showing signs of fatigue. At this moment, even Leng Jiayun, who was accompanying him, had to hold a sharp blade and stand between the left and right soldiers, just to barely be able to list one on the battlefield.
A large triangle with sharp edges and corners.
That was the Mujiao Formation that once made the country proud of. However, in today's formation, there are no heavy armored infantry holding giant shields, no warriors holding halberds, and even fewer cavalry on both wings to provide flanking support.
The manpower array was slightly insufficient.
At this time, General Yan immediately stood in front of the 10,000 red-armored cavalry. He looked at the Ye State Army, which was surrounded by layers of soldiers a hundred steps away, but he still did not order an attack.
Meng Dun beside him finally couldn't hold himself back anymore and urged his horse forward and asked:
"Dahehan, for more than two days, the soldiers have been lingering in front of the enemy's formation, and they have only beheaded nine people. Three of them were scouts who came to explore the camp under the cover of night. There are only a thousand people on the enemy side now. If they don't
Take it down in one go, in case of reinforcements——"
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yan seemed to be not listening at all, and suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted:
"Do you know who the silver-masked general leading the army in the opponent's formation is?"
Meng Dun didn't know what the young He Han wanted to say, so he just shook his head suspiciously.
The black-eyed boy continued: "What you see in front of you is the Mujiao Formation created by my mentor Xiang Baili to ride on foot. This formation is usually made up of three rhombus formations arranged in the shape of a Chinese character, but if
The triangular formation in front of me is a unique skill that has never been disclosed by the general. It is specially used to deal with the dilemma of using less to defeat many and using weakness to defeat strong. What's more, I have never been able to figure out which general under Qi Shouyu actually
Can you create such a formation by yourself without a teacher?"
After hearing this, Meng Dun shook his head vigorously:
"Please speak frankly. We have wasted too much time on this Ye army! The longer we delay with them, the more dangerous the people you want to rescue will be in Yujing. It would be better to
Attack with all your strength and capture the masked general. You will know if you ask!"
Jiang Yan tightened the reins in his hands, pulling them straight to his crotch. Wu Chen raised his head high, as if he was still hesitating. However, after a moment, he finally made up his mind and pointed his right hand forward.
Behind him, the more than 10,000 soldiers lined up in several long lines side by side. The Red Flame Army, which was already eager to try, was like a wildfire that spread across the prairie, and launched an all-out charge towards the Ye State army formation.
On Qi Ziyin's side, seeing the barbarian cavalry approaching, the warriors also drew their swords and drove the formation forward. The two armies met like wildfire touching the rocks. The red tide was divided by the tip of the peony formation, and they had no choice but to
They scattered to both sides along the edge of the military formation lined with blades, but for a moment they didn't have time to go around and make a surprise attack behind the formation.
However, although the peony array arranged in this way was difficult to break for a while, it could not last long. Under the constant impact of the cavalry, some soldiers in the array were unable to hold up and were thrown by the lasso from the opponent's array.
Hooking his neck and limbs, he was violently pulled away from his original position, and was immediately swallowed up by an endless stream of red tide.
As the number of people on the periphery decreased, Ye Guojun became increasingly stretched. The initial effort to cope with the situation was about to turn into an unsuspecting defeat. When Qi Ziyin saw this, he immediately shouted and waved the Yin fang in his hand:
"Change the formation, change the formation! Today we are here to save people, not to die under the sword of the barbarians!"
Following the order, the peony formation quickly transformed into a slender diamond wedged into the cavalry. The cavalry did not expect that the opponent could change formations, and the red torrent instantly seemed to be struck by a sharp sword.
Stab it through. And where the sharp blade points is actually the center of the formation where Jiang Yan is!
As the saying goes, to capture the bandits first, capture the king. Qi Ziyin had already made a plan in his mind - even if all of the thousand soldiers under his command were one to ten, they could only fight on equal footing with the opponent. Not to mention using infantry to resist the charge of cavalry.
It was already very difficult, and all he could do was to take advantage of the opponent's paralysis when they thought they had a chance to win, and attack under the banner where they had been secretly observing for a long time and determined to be the commander of the opponent's Chinese army!
Jiang Yan did not expect that the opponent could turn defense into attack with only a thousand men, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. Amidst the noise and chaos in front of the formation, he suddenly raised his sword and rode his horse, actually leading the charge himself
The five hundred cavalrymen carefully selected around him faced the enemy in the direction of the attack, intending to capture the enemy general alive.
At this time, around Qi Ziyin, there were still black armor soldiers being chopped down to the ground. Even if they did not lose their lives on the spot, they were swallowed up by thousands of horse hooves and could never be found again. Even the soldiers who were originally following them closely
Leng Jiayun and Mo Zeming behind him have also disappeared.
He felt his nose was sore and his heart was full of unwillingness. However, in the blur of tears, he suddenly saw a man in the enemy formation wearing red armor and riding a pure black horse rushing towards him.
, it is the barbarians and Han!
He immediately faced him angrily and waved his sword. The two of them, one dark and one red, one fast and one slow, passed each other in a flash of light. But in this short moment, Qi Ziyin had already seen what the other person was holding.
It turned out to be a black-gold seven-foot Mo Dao! And Jiang Yan, who was about to defeat the enemy with one blow, suddenly realized that the move that the enemy in front of him, whose true appearance was difficult to distinguish, used to block his full blow was actually
The Five Imperial Sword Techniques taught by Xiang Baili himself!
In the chaos of the army, although the two of them had not yet determined each other's identities, they shouted at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding: "Retreat the troops."
The retreat horn sounded in the Red Flame Army formation. The Yi Xuan and Red armies fighting together found it difficult to understand the sudden sound of the horn at first. However, after only a slight hesitation, the barbarian army, which was already at a disadvantage, actually had a tacit understanding.
Generally, they no longer pursued, but allowed the Ye State army to leave from their side and stopped fighting.
The figures of the two young men in front of the formation were also hugging each other tightly at this moment!
