Chapter 717 No wonder Zhu Biao was so embarrassed!
Three days, three days of shopping!
The entire town, like the villages outside the town, was reduced to complete ruins.
But the Zhou army retreated with its bloody mouth open, and they bit the Song army. But while the Song army was bleeding, there were two cracking sounds, and the Zhou army also lost two front teeth.
Today, Qian Yunshan received the news that the baggage train was attacked. He specially transferred fifty heavy thunderbolt vehicles from the front line, along with a large amount of kerosene, stone bullets and three thousand escorting Zhou soldiers. They were suddenly attacked by the Song Army's cavalry.
The entire army was wiped out.
Therefore, Qian Yunshan swiftly issued a retreat order. The Zhou army could no longer attack and had no means to clear the defensive measures deployed by the Song army in the town. If the Zhou army attacked again, it would simply cost their lives!
The corpses of tens of thousands of people fell in that small town. The ground turned purple-brown and the corpses were piled up two or three feet thick. Even though Qian Yunshan had the intention to continue fighting, he couldn't move to accept it.
Besides, there is a sharp knife outside...
"They have withdrawn, we should withdraw too..." Zhu Biao said this with a scar on his face, and his left arm, which had almost healed, was once again slinged across his neck.
In three days of fighting, the Zhou army fell at least 20,000 people, and the Song army lost less than 5,000 lives. Even with Zhang Nan's troops who insisted on staying outside, the entire army was less than 30,000 people.
The 30,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry were unable to attack the enemy, so they ran after the Song cavalry. However, although they had three horses, they could not compare with the Song cavalry, which was shrouded in system aura.
"It's snowing..." He opened his palm, and a piece of hexagonal ice fell into his palm. Zhu Biao looked up at the sky, where white snow was falling. "God help me, I can see clearly..."
Pingling in the northwest of Texas is separated by a large mountain. The road leading to the north is only a few small trails carved out of the mountains for thousands of years. But these small trails have become the only hope for the Song army at this time.
At least, after Zhu Biao's troops moved out, his troops kept moving towards Pingling. If the mountains in Pingling were not the hope of the Song army, how could Zhu Biao seek death?
Texas is not really northern Xinjiang, and the mountains here are not high enough to store snow. The top of the mountain is slightly white, not because the old snow has not melted, but because new snow has fallen. But the climate quickly changed after the snow stopped.
rose.
There is a path in the mountain that can accommodate two horses walking side by side. Because there are many rocks and little soil around the mountain, the condition of the path is quite stable.
Nangong Yu and five thousand Tang troops were on foot and cavalry. At this time, they were busy transporting a batch of grain, grass, coal and cotton clothes to the south of the mountain. Two military camps with a capacity of ten thousand people had been set up on the south side of the mountain. But this was only ten days.
Come on, just thinking about that guy hiding in the tent all day and Zhu Biao behind that guy makes Nangong Yu extremely angry.
No one in the Nangong family will have a good impression of Zhu Biao. He has brought too much harm and trouble to the Nangong family.
Back then, when the Yun family bowed their heads, the Nangong family did not say a bad word in front of King Tang about the new king who had confiscated half of their family property, but they all vented their anger on Zhu Biao.
Countless direct descendants of the Nangong clan looked at the 'abandoned' Zhu Biao with cold eyes.
The feeling of being 'abandoned' by a king and a country that you have devoted your whole life to is definitely the most uncomfortable, painful and unforgettable thing.
But these 'tortures' did not remove Nangong Yu's hatred for Zhu Biao at all, especially when he was supposed to go to the battlefield this time. He was actually sent to this insignificant person by the King of Tang because of that guy's letter.
Damn the place. Nangong Yu has always had the urge to kill people, but that was just thinking about it. If he really did this, his head would definitely be chopped off by King Tang.
"I really don't understand why the king believes this bastard so much. A paper letter actually sent us here? He also brought so much food, coal and cotton clothes. Is the winter this year very cold? To replenish food is to die.
Now, do you need cotton clothes and coal? We can fill hundreds of carriages." Nangong Huang was captured with Nangong Yu in Yijing Villa.
After Zhu Biao reconciled with the King of Tang, whether it was Gushan, Pingtan, Nangong Qinyin, Nangong Raoliang, who had small thoughts from the beginning, as well as Nangong Yu, Nangong Huang, Nangong Liang and other direct relatives of the Nangong family, all the
'Returned'.
Nangong Huang, who is arrogant and domineering by nature, regards this as a lifelong shame and regards Zhu Biao as his lifelong enemy. Now he is working under the baton of his enemy, how can he feel at ease?
"Third Master." The subordinate who was standing outside the tent walked into the tent at this time, clasped his fists at Nangong Yu and said, "Sun Chengmeng wants to see you."
Nangong Yu rolled his eyes, wondering who was coming. He frowned and said displeasedly: "Let him in."
Sun Chengmeng walked into the tent calmly. Looking at the cold expressions of the two Nangong family members, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart - how could he be Zhu Shuai's opponent with such a temper? He could even play to death!
"I have met the Third Master." Sun Chengmeng, as one of the staff of the King of Song Dynasty, still has the necessary city. No matter how much he complained in his stomach, he smiled brightly. He said: "This time Sun will have to work for the Third Master again.
Already."
"If you have any questions, just tell me Mr. Sun." Nangong Yu said without a trace of heat in his voice: "I, Nangong Yu, will not be troubled by such trivial matters."
"Haha." Sun Chengmeng didn't take it seriously and continued to laugh: "Of course Sun knows that the third master will not be troubled by such trivial matters. To trouble the third master, it has to be something big." But this man was not just showing weakness.
"Hmph..." Nangong Yu's expression changed. Sun Chengmeng's words were a bit harsh. He snorted and clenched his fists. His eyes flashed with cold light, and murderous intent went straight to Sun Chengmeng's face.
"Haha." Sun Chengmeng chuckled. He knew that even if Nangong Yu was given the courage to do so, he would not dare to kill himself at this time. He looked so fierce, just pretending to be satisfied with his mouth.
It can't be attached to myself either.
He spread the drawings in his hands on the table and said solemnly: "Third Master, please take a look. This drawing was passed over from Zhu Shuai overnight. Zhu Shuai requested that we can make a thousand of them here in three days. This is the name of the thing.
It’s called a sled, and it’s also called a sledge. Third Master was in Beiyu in the past, so he should know something about it, right?”
"A thousand tools?" Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang looked at Sun Chengmeng in surprise upon hearing this. Of course they were familiar with the snow sledge. The Nangong clan who paid close attention to Zhu Biao all knew that Zhu Biao had used it more than once in winter.
Stuff. But...
"How can you produce so much in three days? Is Zhu Biao deliberately looking for trouble?"
"The third master is joking." Sun Chengmeng shook his head and deliberately pretended to be disdainful and said: "Who is Zhu Shuai? How can he forget about public welfare because of personal affairs! A certain person once heard Zhu Shuai have a look: Summer insects cannot talk about ice. .The third master treats a villain like a gentleman."
"Sun Chengmeng, you... what the hell are you, how dare you entertain me!" Nangong Yu had veins on his forehead and his face turned red. If there was a term "cerebral hemorrhage" in this era, he would be so far away from the symptoms. Not far away.
"Third Master, don't blame me for not speaking nicely." Sun Chengmeng still smiled and continued: "This matter is related to the safety of King Song. There is no room for any mistakes."
Use the King of Song card to get it done immediately.
As soon as Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang heard the word 'King of Song', their expressions immediately softened, but they still gritted their teeth and looked at Sun Chengmeng fiercely. When Sun Chengmeng turned around and walked out of the tent, there was a roar from behind. They exchanged tables and chairs. Smashing sound...
"Hey..." After hearing all this, Sun Chengmeng shook his head and left.
Two days passed unknowingly, and I don’t know when, snowflakes started to fly again in the sky, and it was raining and snowing again. The accumulated water in the small beach on the ground was also covered with a thin layer of ice under the continuous snow. , and then gradually, before people had time to notice it, it had been swallowed up by a piece of delicate white snow.
The weather is getting colder.
The flames in Nangong's and nephew's hearts at this time did not calm down slightly because of the cold weather. Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang looked at the piles of small sledges in front of them. They felt annoyed. This thing called "sled" in front of them, They are too familiar with it. They have played with it in winter. This small sledge can't hold a few people or a thousand? Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang obviously remember what the King of Tang told them when they came. There are also infantry and cavalry in the Song Army. How much is thirty thousand?
These thousand small sledges can hold at most one-sixth of them!
Could it be that the traitor Zhu Biao suffered another defeat in the past few days?
"No way..." Nangong Yu murmured in his heart. Nangong Huang on the side also said: "Zhu Biao is still good at fighting. With more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry, it is impossible for Qian Yunshan's troops to defeat Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was killed and only a few thousand people were left!"
As the old saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy.
The Nangong clan regarded Zhu Biao as their enemy, but they also knew clearly how powerful Zhu Biao was in the war. With all the glorious battle results and miraculous achievements, Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang could not deny that Zhu Biao was in the army even if they annoyed Zhu Biao. The level of battle. Facing Zhou Jun Qian Yunshan's troops, they really couldn't believe that Zhu Biao would suffer such a tragic defeat!
"Is there another mystery?" Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang looked at each other and saw the meaning of this sentence from each other's eyes.
One day later, in the afternoon, the rain had stopped, but the snow was still falling.
"Third Master." A military sergeant rushed forward and shouted: "In the distance, I saw a large group of people running down the mountain. However, due to the snow, the line of sight was blocked, so I couldn't tell whose soldiers and horses it was."
Ah, Nangong Yu was shocked. Could it be that Zhu Biao's troops had already withdrawn? But the news he got last night was that the Song Army's cavalry was still entangled with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry a hundred miles away.
Under the mountain peak, groups of Song troops with red eyes, who seemed to have not rested day and night, entered a camp that had been prepared in advance.
Nangong Yu led people to greet them. Looking at the state of the Song army, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. Compared with the five thousand Tang troops under his command, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he had to say, 'It's really not as good as that'.
The Song troops were all exhausted, but they helped each other, and all their swords, guns, and armor were intact. The King of Song was among this group of seven to eight thousand people. Nangong Yu came to the King of Song after Liu Zhuo introduced him.
"Nangong Yu, I have met the King of Song."
"Okay, okay!" King Song, who had just drank a bowl of ginger soup, held Nangong Yu's hand gratefully. He had traveled hundreds of miles in the past few days. Although he had always had a horse, the winter wind was biting. As a prince, How did he suffer such hardship in the past?
The King of Song did not know the specific identity of Nangong Yu, but seeing Nangong Yu at this time, the King of Song was filled with gratitude.
Two quarters of an hour later, Sun Chengmeng, who was on the top of the mountain, led people down the mountain. Seeing the old man in front of him, King Song felt completely at ease.
Since leaving the small town of Tongliang County, the Song army has been pursued and harassed by 30,000 Bingzhou wolf riders for several days. Fortunately, the infantry of the Zhou army, which had suffered heavy losses before, had been transferred to the northeast. Otherwise, Otherwise, it would be a problem for the Song army to reach Pingling Mountain.
In another half an hour, another large group of Song Army infantry retreated to the foot of the mountain, with more than 10,000 people in total. Adding both sides together, the Song Army's infantry easily exceeded 20,000 people.
Finally, when it was getting dark, five thousand Song Army cavalry arrived. By this time, most of the more than 20,000 infantry armor had moved to the top of the mountain.
In the past few days, using stones, firewood and ice water, Nangong Yu built a camp on a nearby mountain that could accommodate ten thousand people. A batch of cotton clothes, coal, and food were also transported to the top of the mountain.
"Woo..." At this moment, a horn sound suddenly came from outside the tent.
Zhu Biao put down the soup bowl in his hand. Dou Bing stood up directly. Everyone in the tent immediately understood that Bingzhou Langqi was chasing him. The faces of several officers below Dou Bing were full of pain. Along the way, Bingzhou Langqi Qi Zhen followed closely like a pack of wolves. They had had enough of the harassment of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Whether they were eating or sleeping, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would always attack the Song Army cavalry when they did not want to be disturbed. Trial attack.
Moreover, even though the number of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was more than three times that of the Song Army's cavalry, they never faced the Song Army's cavalry head-on. They always relied on their super mobility to fight away from the periphery. At the beginning, the Song Army's cavalry The cavalry relied on the system increase and Zhu Biao's several skills and tactics to catch the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry by surprise several times. The two sides strangled together, and even though the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were elites, their sword and gun combat power was not really weak. After several strengthening There were many cavalrymen in the Song Army. However, they suffered a lot because of their expensive chain mail armor, which was limited to powerful defensive capabilities for arrows and crossbows.
Later, when the Song Army's horses were exhausted and insufficiently recovered, the mobility of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not drop at all. In addition, after suffering several hardships, the Song Army's cavalry completely faced up to it and gave full play to their mobility. The Song Army's cavalry, even led by Zhu Biao himself, was at a disadvantage. The last two days were miserable and they suffered a lot.
There were more than 5,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 warriors. Under the harassment of Bingzhou wolf cavalry, most of them had not had a decent sleep for two days and two nights. Many people were riding horses, riding in the cold wind. You can imagine how tired you are if you can sleep through it.
After the officers entered the tent, they drank the hot soup and the steam from the warm stove was steaming. They relaxed their tense nerves and wanted to squint their eyes.
Everyone hurried out of the camp, only to see about two thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry not far away, rushing towards the camp in a herringbone formation, shouting and cheering. Each of these Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were wearing thick and warm fur blankets.
Wearing a fur-brimmed hat, his hands have finger gloves, and he holds a short bow. The sharp arrows in the charge have been strung.
Looking at the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry galloping towards him, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh, because he thought of the Mongolian Qingqi that had the biggest bug in Chinese history. In just a few decades, he traveled all over Europe with his horse's hooves.
Asia, he pushed his humble small nation to the pinnacle of the world king. Isn’t the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in front of him a replica of the Mongolian cavalry?
All the tactics of the two armies are exactly the same. But compared with the almost shabby equipment of the Mongols, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is completely covered with gold and silver from beginning to end. Zhu Biao has never underestimated the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The Mongolian cavalry can fight
Dozens of countries on the Eurasian continent were struggling to survive under their iron heel, and the Zhou Dynasty had retained this army since its founding.
How could it only be in vain?
Feng Enjiang was still on guard outside with his team. Although the Song Army cavalry had been tortured by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry along the way, they had fought thousands of miles to become elites. Under the leadership of Feng Enjiang, they quickly stood up.
Their tired bodies drove their equally tired horses to form a Sirius formation.
In the blink of an eye, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry entered a hundred steps away. With the sound of bowstrings and the piercing screams of arrows flying across the sky, they rushed towards the ranks of the Song Army's cavalry. With a hissing howl, Song Dynasty's sprinting towards each other
Many people in the army cavalry array fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Some of the Song army cavalry who were good at riding and shooting also took out their bows and arrows to fight back. However, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry relied on their superb equestrian skills to roll and dodge on their horses, and some simply hid themselves completely.
The horses were hit by arrows, so only a few of them were injured by arrows. Moreover, the chain mail armor gave them super defense on their crossbows. Although some people were hit by arrows, they could still lie firmly on their horses and continue to attack the Song army.
The cavalry came.
After two rapid arrow rains, followed by a sonorous sound, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry put away their short bows and drew their sabers. The iron hooves were rolling, and the sound of killing was loud. Accompanied by snowflakes, the sabers were waved one after another.
It reflected a terrifying cold light.
The Song Army's cavalry is no longer the Song Army's cavalry a few days ago. They are exhausted and their combat strength is half as strong as before, so the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is no longer afraid of occasional confrontations with the Song Army. They are like a pack of wolves, little by little.
, tearing off the flesh of the prey bit by bit. But never completely forcing the prey to a dead end, because the fight between trapped animals is the craziest thing.
The charge from both sides turned the front of the camp into a mess, and blood soon stained the ground red. Sharp arrows were shot from the camp, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry retreated like the wind.
Looking at the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry going away, Nangong Yu and Nangong Huang opened their mouths in surprise. Then they glanced at Zhu Biao meaningfully. It turned out that the rumored Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was really so good. No wonder he could defeat Zhu Biao.
So embarrassed!
Come and go like the wind, come and go like the wind!
Zhu Biao welcomed Feng Enjiang, who had been fighting for a while, into the camp at the camp gate. He looked up at the cloud-covered sky and sighed: "Have a rest for a while. Let's go up the mountain overnight."
There are more than 5,000 war horses, so don’t worry.
