Hou Cheng immediately drew his bow and set an arrow, shouting loudly: "The young general is like this. I, Hou Cheng, am a veteran general in the army, how can I fall behind?"
Taishi Xiang smiled and said: "Okay, let us fight side by side and beat up those Xianbei people!"
With the general like this, the morale of the soldiers was even higher. They drew their bows and arrows, and fired at the Xianbei people indiscriminately. The crossbowmen only shot at the enemies nearby, while the archers shot at the enemies far away. They were condescending and had the advantage of the location.
With such force, he defeated the Xianbei people several times.
An hour later, the Xianbei people launched five consecutive attacks, all of which were resisted by the Chinese army. The Chinese army also suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of the 3,000-man team was killed, all shot to death by the Xianbei people with bows and arrows.
The casualties of the Xianbei people were three times that of the Chinese army. There were dead bodies under the mountain road, rivers of blood, and large numbers of arrows scattered on the ground, making it extremely messy.
By noon, both armies were a little tired. The Xianbei people stopped attacking and the Chinese army was able to take a breather. However, neither army dared to slack off at all. All the Xianbei soldiers stayed on the front line to rest.
, when it comes time to eat, let the sergeant at the back bring it to you, and eat a few random bites, as long as you fill your stomach, it is better than anything else.
In comparison, the Chinese army seems miserable. They have been trapped on a barren mountain for two days. They have eaten all kinds of edible wild fruits and vegetables. Even the water source is missing. Originally, they only had a gurgling water.
Even though there was a little spring water coming out, there was no more spring water coming out. The Chinese army was hungry and thirsty.
In the Chinese army camp, the pain in Tai Shici's arm still occupied all the senses in his body. His mouth was so dry that it was about to bleed. There was smoke coming out of his eyes. Everything he looked at was steaming.
The sun was shining brightly. Although it was only May, the temperature in the Gobi was very abnormal. After being exposed to the scorching sun during the day, the surface temperature was far higher than the normal temperature. Moreover, Taishi Ci occupied a barren mountain, and usually only
No one can stand some vegetation when exposed to the sun.
Taishi Ci took off his armor, which was so hot that it could fry a poached egg. After taking off his armor, his clothes were already sticking to his chest and back. The clothes on his body seemed to have been soaked by water and were twisted around his strong body.
On his body, he pressed his chapped lips, squinted his eyes and glanced around him and the soldiers he could see. Everyone had lost their former spirit and now looked so depressed.
"Where is the chief clerk?" Taishi Ci twitched his lips and asked.
"General, my subordinate is here, what are your orders?" the marching director walked to Tai Shici's side and asked.
Taishi Ci said: "Is there anything else to eat or drink on the mountain?"
The marching director hesitated for a while, thought about it, and finally answered truthfully, saying: "General Qi, we have run out of food and water..."
"Alas! I made a lot of mistakes, and they are all my fault. I, Taishi Ci, have been a soldier for half my life, and I have killed many heroes without paying attention to them. I didn't expect that today I would fall into the hands of the Xianbei people. It's a shame! It's a shame!
"Tai Shi Ci felt regretful and beat his chest and said.
Song Xian was on the side and hurriedly consoled him: "General, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. What's more, the Xianbei people have a strength of 300,000, and our army is only 100,000. We are outnumbered. What's more, our army is on an expedition, and we have supplies of food, grass, baggage and other supplies."
No, so... General, you want to be more open-minded, the emperor once said, don't judge a hero by his success or failure..."
Taishi Ci interrupted Song Xian and said: "Okay, you don't need to comfort me anymore. I, Taishi Ci, am indeed not a hero. Song Xian, please pass on the order. All the sergeants are on standby. The Xianbei people want to arrest them."
I am a human being, and as long as I let them slaughter me, they will definitely not make things difficult for you..."
"General! You must not do it. The Xianbei people are barbarians and they will not talk to us. Besides, Xianbei's Shanyu is ruthless. Once the general is captured without hesitation, our more than 60,000 soldiers will surely die."
No burial place. General, you are the humerus of the entire army and the commander-in-chief of the entire army. As long as I
If we can break out of the siege, we will have hope of returning to the Kingdom of China. As the saying goes, you can leave green hills without worrying about having firewood. The emperor often said this. I hope the general will think twice before he acts!" Song Xian didn't wait for Tai Shici to finish.
He immediately knelt on the ground, hugged Tai Shici's thigh, and winked at the surrounding generals.
The people around him all knelt down in unison, and then shouted in unison: "General, please think twice before you act!"
"Father, what General Song said makes sense. As long as we can fight out, we will definitely be able to return to the Huaxia Kingdom. If we come back at that time, we will definitely give the Xianbei people a severe blow. Father, the whole army has father as the backbone.
, as long as my father’s handsome flag does not fall, I will
The soldiers will not leave easily. Now that the father cannot mount his horse, the child is willing to lead the three armies in his father's place and be responsible for breaking out of the encirclement." Tai Shixiang and Hou Cheng came from the bottom of the mountain. They were originally going to report the previous battle situation, but they heard
Taishi Xiang immediately interrupted what Song Xian said.
After hearing this, Hou Cheng looked at Tai Shixiang. Although he was young, his figure and appearance were very similar to Tai Shici's. He immediately had an idea and followed Tai Shixiang's train of thought and said: "General, the Major General's words are reasonable. If you can let him
If the major general puts on the general's armor and takes the general's weapons, he will definitely mistake the fake for the real one. When all the soldiers see that the general can still fight on horseback, they will definitely fight with all their strength to protect the general from leaving this place."
"Father, my child is willing to do this. Come here, please bring me the general's armor and weapons quickly!" After Taishi Xiang heard this, he immediately stood up and ordered to Taishi Ci's subordinates.
Taishi was so fond of his son that he was not willing to let his son go into battle to kill the enemy. He immediately said: "How can anyone do this for me? Although I am injured, my courage is still there. Everyone is destined to die, and I will die in the right place."
Dress me up..."
Taishi Xiang didn't wait for Taishi Ci to finish speaking, and immediately moved quickly to Taishi Ci's side. With his hands stretched back, he snatched Taishi Ci's armor from the soldier's hands and shouted: "I will wear the armor for my father myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Xiang turned around, with a fierce look in his eyes, and immediately knocked Taishi Ci unconscious with a palm, then he held up Taishi Ci's armor and shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, gather the troops, prepare."
Go down the mountain and break out!"
Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others were stunned for a moment when they saw that Taishi Xiang had begun to wear Taishi Ci's armor. At first glance, he was clearly the younger version of Taishi Ci, and his heroic appearance was immediately revealed.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly gather the team and prepare to attack?" Tai Shixiang shouted loudly.
"Yes, General!" Song Xian and Hou Cheng said in unison.
Taishi Xiang said: "Get the Wind and Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd. I'm waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."
As a result, the marching chief led people to place Taishi Ci who had fainted, while Taishi Xiang led Song Xian, Hou Cheng and other generals to form a death squad, about three thousand people, all equipped with the best weapons, bows and crossbows.
Tai Shixiang from the right led the army alone, followed closely by Song Xian and Hou Cheng.
Tai Shixiang came to the front line and saw that the Xianbei people were having lunch, and groups of patrols were also coming and going very closely. Needless to say, he knew that the place was heavily guarded.
"The Xianbei people are eating. Although there are guards outside, those people are transferred from the rear army to serve as police officers. Their combat effectiveness should be very average. We will give them a heavy blow while they are eating. Three thousand death squads will rush in first.
, the people behind will follow closely behind, they must break through this place in one breath and break out of the siege!" Tai Shi Xiang said.
"Come out of the siege! Fight out of the siege!" The soldiers were excited and shouted loudly.
Seeing that his morale was rising, Tai Shixiang immediately shouted: "Okay, follow me now, break out of the siege, and go back to your hometown to eat rice dumplings!"
After shouting, Tai Shixiang rushed down the mountain with three thousand death squads. The Xianbei people were eating when they suddenly saw the Chinese army that had been besieged for two days rushing down. Although the Xianbei people looked a little messy, they were very consistent with the outside world and carried them with them.
The weapons you carry are released immediately.
"boom!"
With a huge dull sound, the Chinese army swooped down from the mountain on corpses and directly ran into the Xianbei team. Tai Shixiang led these three thousand fearless death squads, like a cutting machine, cutting a twenty thousand person alive
The team's impact was different.
Taishi Xiang held the Wind and Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd. He received the true inheritance from his father. Although he was slightly inferior to his father Taishi Ci, he was still a rare warrior. Once he entered the Xianbei camp, he went on a killing spree, blocking the way.
That's death.
When the Chinese troops standing on the mountain saw it, they were all excited. They spontaneously formed an assault team and began to form an echelon-style charge formation, fighting in a melee with the Xianbei people at the foot of the mountain.
When Xianbei Shanyu, who was far away on another hill, saw him, he only smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "You don't overestimate your capabilities."
As soon as the voice fell, the Xianbei Great Chanyu waved his right hand forward, and the Xianbei ambush appeared. Ten thousand people on the left, ten thousand people on the right, and more than 30,000 people blocked the gap caused by the rapid charge of the Chinese army.
It completely surrounded the Chinese army.
Taishi Xiang was in the middle of the battle and could only care about the soldiers and enemies around him. After a bloody battle, he found that he was the only one left beside him. He couldn't help but fight more and more bravely. The Xianbei people could not stop them and could only let them go.
Leave.
As he walked, he said to Song Xian and Hou Cheng: "Quickly retreat!"
Song Xian and Hou Cheng's troops lost many soldiers. Seeing that the enemy was heavily surrounded, they also wanted to retreat and immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
For a time, the people organized by Tai Shixiang, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng all retreated and returned to the mountain. The first charge ended in failure.
Taishi Xiang was condescending, and after taking a look, he realized that the Xianbei people had blocked the road down the mountain, and they had to pass there if they wanted to travel in time.
"It's his grandma's, so much effort was wasted. I didn't expect the Xianbei people to have such a hand." Tai Shixiang turned around and sighed.
