The four hundred and sixtieth nine chapters fled after hearing the wind
The western border of Zhongshan Kingdom, within the territory of Yingjun County, Junzhou.
Not far from Tongshui, a group of cavalry is patrolling. Their brown uniforms indicate their identity. It is not difficult to understand. Yingjun is located in the south-central part of Junzhou, south of the prefecture, and has not yet been officially controlled by the Locust Army.
It has been harassed. Only because of the Tongshui River flowing from the north boundary, a natural dividing line, is really indispensable!
Yingjun naturally prepared troops and police to guard this safe river. Even crossing the river and walking three to five miles south, you can see the camp of the old rural soldiers. But a few days ago, good news came from Xiyang. The Great Zhou and Tang Dynasties
The king loved his uncle's family in Zhongshan and sent 60,000 heavenly soldiers to Weizhong to kill Zhu Biao's evil ghost Shura.
According to the government, Zhu Biao only had a few thousand soldiers under his command, so he was bound to be defeated!
Although at first glance, the heavenly soldiers were somewhat defeated. However, the Zhongshan Kingdom, who were frightened by Zhu Biao's series of godlike achievements, only expected to hear the news of Zhu Biao's defeat.
Qian Wen, the prefect of the county, organized thousands of soldiers from the countryside to go north to support the governance of the prefecture. It was because he firmly believed that the heavenly army was so powerful that Zhu Biao would definitely be defeated!
But when Zhu Biao was defeated, the Han Dynasty was discouraged, and the locust army would become destitute if they did not fight.
So on the edge of Tongshui, there were only a small group of cavalry patrolling, and there were no more hundreds or thousands of rural soldiers.
Even though in these days, the news coming from the north is that of defeat day after day, the governor is still full of confidence.
The cavalrymen in front of me are patrolling police posts along the north bank of the river.
The sparkling Tongshui flows straight down the river. When it is washed by the water vapor and blown by the gentle wind, the scorching sun above the head is no longer so scary. These cavalry are not working, they are enjoying themselves. It is a pity.
Yes, the appearance of these people is really unsightly.
When people talk about cavalry, they often think of iron horses and imagine majesty and majesty. But this cavalry is really weird. The horses are not majestic and the equipment is not well-equipped. The most strange thing is that since ancient times, no cavalry has ever held a hand-held weapon.
Reins, show off your strength? Have you ever seen a cavalryman holding his horse's neck with both hands for fear of falling?
"I heard that the locust army in Yuzhou defeated our reinforcements one after another and invaded the state for the second time?" In front of the cavalry, a man who looked like a leader muttered in a low voice with his shoulders hunched.
The deputy next to him had a fat head and big ears, and his face was shiny. He wiped his sweat and shook his head and said: "There is no way to explain the world. When a monk strikes a clock, let's just watch it. If it really comes, don't we have six legs?
What?"
"But, but, after passing Tongshui, we will reach..." The leader seemed to still have some sense of responsibility and looked behind him subconsciously. Those are all fertile lands with flat plains, and they are the land for farmers and villagers to farm and study!
Look at the pontoon bridge above Tongshui connecting Zhouzhi and Yingjun. It was built less than ten years ago and is brand new. It spans Zhudi in the water and runs through the entire Tongshui like a long dragon. In the entire Tongshui 500
There are only two such iron cable pontoon bridges, which allow carriages, horses and heavy objects to pass freely. One is right now, and the other is far away, three hundred miles to the east.
"Humph, I'm afraid of a bird! Haven't you heard that we are the uncle's family of the King of Tang Dynasty? This nephew's family has a big business. How can we watch my uncle being bullied? As for the locust army in Yuzhou, they are really going to come to us.
It can't be stopped, but as long as the bridge is set on fire..." As soon as he said this, the fat-headed big-eared man suddenly caught a glimpse of his companion with his mouth open, eyes wide open, pointing forward and speechless. He turned around to look at the whole scene.
The man was stunned for a while, and then he exclaimed: "It's the locust army!"
The cavalrymen all turned their heads to look, and secretly screamed in their hearts! They saw a cavalry coming quickly! Could it really be Yuzhou's locust army? The team was in panic, and the cavalrymen hugged their horses' necks tightly.
They looked at each other with shame. When the other party came closer, these "iron-armored knights" secretly called themselves lucky. It turned out that they were not the locust army, but the rural soldiers from Junzhou. From the looks of it, there were about three to four hundred men and horses.
I don't know where the defeated army came from.
Close, even closer!
Everyone saw it more clearly now, and they all shouted and looked away. Although the equipment of this defeated army was very poor, it was quite organized and not chaotic when it marched. It was not at the level of rural soldiers.
Could it be the county soldiers who escaped from the fall of the prefecture?"
"Don't shout nonsense! Aren't you afraid of disturbing the morale of the army and getting stabbed?" At this time, the leader shouted. When he looked again, the army did not stop, but slowed down, and sent out a horse to gallop across the gap.
Yi Zhang stopped the reins, raised his hands and asked, "We are rural soldiers who have returned from the defeat of Zhouzhi. Dare I ask my elder brother if there is any news about Ding Sima's tribe?"
"What?" The cavalry leader was stunned. It seemed that the state government was about to suffer another disaster. Even the rural soldiers sent by the county to support them were defeated. However, there were thousands of rural soldiers who went out, why did they only come back with so few?
The two leaders looked at each other, their fat heads and big ears looked at the visitor and said: "Ding Sima, I have seen you. In the past few days, only fast riders have passed by, and you are the first wave of people and horses. I say brother
Ah, aren't there thousands of you who went out? I am waiting for your success with hope and hope, why is it that we only have so much now?"
After hearing this, the cavalryman on the other side looked sad and returned the salute again, "The county soldiers who ran into the Han were still in the field and were dispersed in a battle. Three to four thousand people were taken prisoner. We can escape alive.
You're lucky enough." After saying that, he rode back and reported to the leader.
The group of cavalrymen were all stunned, with only one thought in their minds - the locust army is going crazy again!
No one thinks that these people are grasshoppers who will not live long after autumn, because for Junzhou and Yingjun, even these grasshoppers who will not live long are absolutely fatal.
Ding Li sighed sadly, there was still no news about his third uncle. Did his third uncle die in the battle? He never thought that his third uncle would be a prisoner. Ding Li knew the temperament of his relatives very well.
"What is the sound?" A person next to Ding Li frowned and said. Not only him, but also many soldiers in Ding Li's team were looking around, looking for the source of the sudden sound.
Ding Li suddenly looked to the northeast. The sound seemed to be coming from there. Could it be that his third uncle had escaped?
"Is it the sound of running water in Tongshui?" a soldier said.
"Have your ears grown on the back of your head? This sound is clearly coming from the northeast." A colleague immediately retorted.
Before we could figure out what was going on here, a group of cavalry at the rear had already started to make a commotion. Not long after, we saw smoke and dust flying in the northeast, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound became clearer and clearer!
"The sound of horse hooves!" someone from the village soldiers screamed!
Thousands of their country soldiers were defeated when they encountered a surprise attack by the Yuzhou cavalry of the Han army in the wilderness. The country soldiers, who were relatively poorly equipped and poorly trained, could not stop the Han cavalry with ten times the strength in the wilderness.
Assault, although Yuzhou's cavalry is far inferior to the elite Bodaoling Han cavalry!
A cauldron exploded behind them. The village soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the battlefield turned around to see that the thirty or forty cavalry at the rear were swarming to the south and fleeing!
The cavalry team on the shore of Tongshui. The leader and the fat-headed and big-eared cavalry team were all shocked. What happened? The rural soldiers who looked quite experienced just now were running towards the pontoon with all their strength! In the blink of an eye, ten of them were killed.
People were annihilated.
On the water's edge of the north bank, there were even sightings of too many deserters, and the soldiers who had the pontoon blocked jumped directly into Tongshui! As long as they relied on the pontoon, even those with poor water quality should not follow the bottom of the pontoon with the help of their companions.
You can also swim across the other side.
Ding Li's face turned green with anger. He could only hear the sound of horse hooves but no one was in sight. These "elites" were so frightened that they fled in panic! Looking at the south bank, they were also moved by the wind. There was also a group of dozens of infantry soldiers there.
Everyone was running around in a hurry, bumping around like headless flies.
How ridiculous is it that I still expect them to fight a tough battle with the Han people? What a joke to the world!
There were only dozens of people standing behind Ding Li. This was his hometown and he came from a village. Ding Fang, Ding Yan finally galloped in front of Ding Li and said in unison: "Second brother, the Han people are chasing you."
Here we come!" These two are both fierce and brave masters in the Ding family, but they can't hide the panic in their voices at this time!
It seems that their morale was knocked out by Han Qi in that battle!
Ding Li was still calm at this moment. Judging from the size of the horse's hooves, of course it could only be Han people. Coming from the northeast, the sound was so terrifying. Who else could have so many cavalry if they weren't Han people?
"What should I do?" Ding Li asked himself. As a result, he found that he could not think of a way. It seemed that except burning the pontoon bridge, there was nothing he could do to prevent the Han people from crossing Tongshui. Ding Li, who had always thought that he was a general, could not help but
A bit panicked.
They couldn't think of a practical solution. Burning the pontoon bridge was useless. As long as the Han people really wanted to attack Yingjun, they only needed to seize nearby civilian ships and send thousands of people across Tongshui in a day or two.
Then go straight to Yingcheng!
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. Ding Li was not afraid of death, but he didn't want Yingcheng to suffer disaster! But why does God care about the Han people?
Ding Yan saw a lonely look on his face that he had never seen before. He was startled and shouted: "Second brother?"
Ding Li didn't respond. He lowered his head on horseback and looked at the land, motionless. Ding Yan looked to the northeast and saw that the smoke and dust had covered the air. The Han cavalry would be approaching in a moment! He immediately grabbed Ding Li's shoulders and exerted force.
Shake: "Second brother! What's wrong with you? Brothers, are you still waiting for your order? Even if we die, you still have to say a word!"
With a tremor, Ding Li seemed to wake up from a nightmare! Yes, what's wrong with me? The Ding family is dead, and the scar is as big as a bowl. I'm afraid of a ball, so I just do my best!
On the pontoon bridge, hundreds of infantrymen on horseback were crowded together, chest to back, fleeing southward. The sound of horse hooves behind them became louder and louder, and these frightened soldiers were scared to death, but they could not walk anymore.
Suddenly there was a scream, and a fat guy on horseback was squeezed out of his horse and fell straight off the bridge! But no one even looked at his small group of companions.
They are also pushing each other, and some people are constantly being squeezed out of the bridge and falling into Tongshui!
This is an iron cable pontoon bridge that can be used by cars and horses. It is not a small bridge built randomly. As long as they line up in order, it is only a few hundred people and horses, and it can be passed safely.
Why do we need to come to this point? Why do we need to come to this point? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
