The rain has become heavier and heavier, and the gurgling water droplets are beating on the armor and the baggage vehicles. The flags that were originally fluttering in the wind have been soaked by the rain and are stuck to the flagpole.
Groups of soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty shrank hurriedly in the wind and rain, but the muddy wilderness around them allowed them to walk one step at a time. The original Long Snake Formation had been completely messed up in the chaos. The generals above looked for
Without subordinates, the soldiers below do not know whose orders they should obey.
Even at this time, no one could find Yuchi Jiong's general flag. They only knew that enemies were rushing out from the rain curtain in all directions.
In this wind and rain, in addition to the sound of fighting, there is also the sound of "dong dong" drums echoing.
This drum beat fell on the hearts of the soldiers of the Southern Chen Dynasty, and everyone charged towards the enemy with a solemn expression. Although sometimes one against two people, they were never afraid; this drum beat also beat in the ears of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they listened.
With the unfamiliar drum beat, looking at the enemies gathering from all directions, I no longer knew if I could still escape.
"Dad!" Yu Chishun led dozens of guards and tried hard to move a large baggage truck blocking the official road. The truck rolled and fell into the quagmire beside the road. The grain bags on the car rolled down and made a "poof" sound.
Poof" sound.
These are the lifeblood of the army, but now that life is at stake, who cares about these grains?
Cao Zhong had already led the Nanchen generals to block the way forward, but the surrounding Northern Zhou generals were obviously aware of the danger of their own generals and were desperately trying to stop Cao Zhong. Therefore, the number of Chinese troops surrounding Yuchi Jiong on both sides increased.
.
Yuchi Shun reached out and pushed aside several of Yuchi Jiong's personal guards, and saw his father.
The old general had obviously not yet participated in the tragic hand-to-hand combat. At this time, he was holding a knife and looking at the sawing battle front in front of him without saying a word.
"Dad, the child came from the flank. The enemy attacked our forward and center. Now the flank has completely collapsed, but the rear army is still safe. The child also asks the father to quickly retreat to the rear army and retreat directly to Panlong County City.
!" Yu Chishun reached out and touched the rainwater on his face, then cupped his hands and said anxiously.
Yuchi said in a deep voice: "Retreat? If we retreat into Panlong County, it will be a dead end."
"But..." Yuchi Shun frowned. He could understand Yuchi Jiong's meaning, but if he moved forward directly now, without knowing how many enemies there were, wouldn't it be a dead end?
Yu Chijiong said calmly: "Don't you think that we have been led by Li Xinchen, mainly because sometimes we are too cautious?"
Yuchishun was startled for a moment: "What does daddy mean?"
Yuchi Jiong simply pulled out his saber: "Li Xingchen has been guarding Tiangongyuan for such a long time. Although the soldiers and horses under his command are brave and good at fighting, how many are really left? It would be a bit wishful thinking to devour someone in one bite. If
Therefore, if we retreat, wouldn’t I make people laugh out loud? Send the order, gather the troops and charge forward!”
Yuchi Shun raised his eyebrows and felt a surge of hot blood rushing up his limbs and bones in the cold wind and rain. The father who once stood on Beimang Mountain seemed to be back again. At that moment, he solemnly handed over his hand.
:
"promise!"
The personal guards of Yuchi Jiong and Yuchi Shun gathered together, and more and more Northern Zhou soldiers and horses gathered around them. Yuchi Jiong held a knife and pushed aside the personal guards blocking the front, and shouted: "You men, kill!"
Countless Northern Zhou soldiers followed this white-haired veteran and rushed forward, from Micang Mountain to Langzhong and then to Tiangongyuan Mountain. After being trapped for so long, it was their turn to vent their anger.
"Yu Chijiong has to work hard." Cao Zhong frowned and looked at the white-haired veteran who rushed up to him, and couldn't help but sigh. Behind Cao Zhong, the Nanchen soldiers were busy nervously.
Large trucks were pushed into the mud on both sides of the road, and the grain bags were directly punctured, and the grain flowed out. In the wind and rain, this unique color was particularly eye-catching.
In fact, this is the purpose of Cao Zhong leading the team here. He is not like Chen Zhishen who has always regarded it as his duty to capture the thieves first. The most important purpose of this battle is food and grass, which is what Dai Cai and Cao Zhong have given them.
Li Xingchen's plan.
When it comes to the Northern Zhou army fighting in Langzhong, the most important thing is actually food and grass. Once there is no food and grass, no matter how many thousands of soldiers and horses there are, it is actually useless. And Li Xingchen has cut off the food road from Cangxi Valley to Langzhong before, and now he only needs to
If Cao Zhong and the others could destroy the food that Yuchi Jiong brought, then the Northern Zhou army would really have no food.
When the time comes, the only thing that will greet this army is collapse.
"Protect the baggage vehicles!" Yuchi Jiong's eyes were wide open. The enemies in front were fighting and retreating, but it was not because they were really afraid of Yuchi Jiong, but because the baggage vehicles at that position had been destroyed by them, and the thatch and grass that blocked the wind and rain were
Bamboo mats were lifted and bags of food were opened. The enemy's purpose was clear and the destruction was thorough.
"Quickly, pack up the food!" Yu Chishun was equally anxious. These guys were too despicable.
After all, Yuchi Jiong's troops were much larger than Cao Zhong's, so after this unexpected attack, the Northern Zhou troops on the left and right wings began to gather.
The continuous "dong-dong" sound of drums in the distance has stopped and been replaced by the sound of ringing gold.
"Retreat!" Cao Zhong waved his hand, and all the Nanchen soldiers quickly turned around and disappeared into the surrounding darkness.
The rain was pouring down, washing the weapons and armor of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yuchi Jiong had already ordered to stop the pursuit. In this vast wind and rain, no one knew what the enemy had prepared ahead. The top priority was to rescue food.
Instead of chasing these enemies.
Yuchishun walked over quickly, his face solemn.
Yuchi Jiong was leaning on a heavy baggage truck, panting lowly. The aftereffects of his last fainting were still there. He had been dizzy long ago after leading the charge for so long. If a few guards hadn't reached out to support him in time.
He, I'm afraid Yuchi will have to faint again.
Yuchishun looked at his father and said softly: "Dad..."
"Tell me," Yuchi Jiong said in a deep voice, "what's the loss?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Chishun whispered: "We still have less than half of the food left, which should only be able to sustain the army for more than ten days... But our losses of soldiers and horses are not much, and the enemy does not seem to focus on killing.
Our soldiers, so they left even more bodies than us..."
Yuchijiong gritted his teeth and pounded the shaft of the carriage.
Li Xingchen, you are really despicable, but I don’t know if you have the ability to leave X and Wei Xiaokuan here in Langzhong?
"Dad, what's next..." Yu Chishun asked after careful consideration.
Yuchi Jiong breathed out softly: "Let's go to Cangxi Valley."
As he spoke, Yuchi Jiong looked around. What could he see in the wind and rain?
