Chapter 16 Boiling
On the west bank of Si Shui, there are fires in the military camp that stretches for more than ten miles, just like stars reflected on the ground. The fire comes from both the torch for lighting and the bonfire for heating.
It is cold and the soldiers camping need to cook fires to keep warm, so even if large-scale fires will cause hidden dangers, fire braziers will still be lit in each camp so that the soldiers can spend the winter night.
Ordinary soldiers were crowded in thin, air-loss tents, sharing a small brazier for heating, and they would just survive the night, and the treatment of generals at all levels and even military officials would be much better.
As for the commander of the entire army, Gao Yue, the King of Qinghe County, enjoyment is of course the best.
At this moment, his tent was as warm as spring, with luxurious carpets on the ground, and the copper stove burned with smokeless charcoal, and in the copper smoke stove, the Western Regions incense medicine was burned with fine Western Regions.
Several more Kabuki were playing and singing to cheer for the nobles who were eating roasted lamb legs.
Gao Yue was a royal family member of Qi State and was the cousin of Emperor Shenwu (posthumously conferred title) Gao Huan. He is now in a high position and powerful position, and is one of the "Four Nobles" in the court.
Gao Yue is burly and is afraid of her youth. After becoming rich, he lives a luxurious life and likes wine and sex. Even if he marches and fights, he will still enjoy it.
Many generals would bring female crafts with them when they went to war. Not only did they accompany them, but they also brought a lot of bells, drums, instruments and exquisite costumes to play.
As long as the war is not urgent and must be killed, then marching is no different from daily outings for Gao Yue.
Of course, no matter how enjoyment is, Gao Yue is not vague. He has fought for more than ten years, so he feels that it is no problem to deal with the fool generals of Liang State.
But now that this group of fools has not been able to live a good life in the New Year, Gao Yue is very annoyed.
During the autumn and winter of last year, the Liang army invaded and successively captured many Huaibei cities, with troops aimed directly at Pengcheng. However, the emperor was patrolling the north, so Gao Yue, who was staying in Yecheng, was ordered to lead his army south to aid Pengcheng.
So, the New Year passed halfway, just like it was back then.
Thinking of this, Gao Yue put down the meat-cutting knife, wiped his hands with silk cloth, leaned against the table, and watched the singing and dancing in front of him.
A few years ago, Hou Jing rebelled and colluded with Liang to cause rebellion. It was the end of the year, and the Liang army also attacked Pengcheng. He led his army south to reinforce and defeated the Liang army in Hanshan.
Now, the ungrateful Liang army is here again, making him unable to have a good New Year, but the other party is a little smarter this time and dare not approach Pengcheng, but instead stops in Luliang.
Luliang is more than 100 miles away from Pengcheng, which is much farther from Hanshan in the past, but even so, Gao Yue felt that if he didn't teach Liang Jun another lesson, the other party would not have a memory.
Tomorrow, he will arrive in Pengcheng. Next, he will have to entertain the uninvited guests in the south.
The tiredness surged, and Gao Yue suddenly became irritable, and he felt that the singing and dancing in front of him were boring.
He didn't rest because the person he had been waiting for hadn't arrived yet and was about to have an attack, but he heard the voices coming from outside.
After a while, the servant came to report that Mrs. Xue had arrived.
Gao Yue clapped his hands, and the kabuki stopped singing and dancing, and left. When they left the account, two people walked in.
But there were two women wearing vertebral caps and fur cloaks.
"Why did it take so long?" Gao Yue said with some dissatisfaction. One of the women took off their vertebra cap and showed a shameful face. They came to Gao Yue and bowed and accused him:
"Goodbye your fault...Oh!"
His voice was soft and his figure was softer. Gao Yue felt his throat dry and he held the beauty in his arms: "You are just talking, it's useless."
"Oh, the king forgives the crime. This is the first time that my sister has seen the king, and she is trembling with fear..."
As the woman spoke, she nodded to the standing sister: "Come on, apologize to the king..."
Another woman also took off her vertebra cap and showed her face as she was shy. Gao Yue looked closely and saw that the beauty had a shy face, like a frightened deer, pitiful.
The two are two years apart, they look similar, have a tall figure, but have a unique charm: the sister is beautiful and beautiful, and the sister is beautiful and charming, and each has its own charm.
It’s not in vain that I spent a lot of money to pick the sisters of the Xue family.
Gao Yue thought so, hugged Xue Niang with one hand, and signaled the pitiful Xue Xiaoniang to sit aside. Smelling the fragrance of the two of them, he felt that his appetite increased greatly.
When the attendants on the left saw that the king wanted to "do things", they knew each other and left the account, leaving only two women and one man.
Gao Yue admired the sisters and was extremely satisfied, and couldn't help but be complacent about his good luck.
Xue Niang is as beautiful as a flower and comes from the Chang family in Yecheng. Before the New Year, Gao Yue spent a lot of money to ask Xue Niang to "bring".
Before the spring night was over, I heard that Xue Niang had a sister who was equally beautiful and happened to be old.
He wanted to have a "blessing for the people of Qi" and let the sisters of Xue "go out of the house" together, and "see the red" on the same night, and join the mansion together.
As a result, the Xue family pushed for the three obstacles, as if they wanted to make Xue Xiaoniang "strange goods available".
Gao Yue was ordered to lead his army south and did not delay. He had no time to waste time with the Xue family. In order to prevent the night from being too long, he left Yecheng and used both soft and hard work to the Xue family, while making a lot of money, while making harsh words.
He was one of the "Four Nobles" of the dynasty. If the Xue family, who had a high position and a low status, could not bear the consequences of the Prince of Qinghe's anger.
So, the Xue family was squeamish and sent the two sisters to the royal palace with a sensible appearance. The royal palace then sent someone to escort the two sisters south and rushed to the camp today.
After taking a shower, changing clothes, washing and dressing up, you will serve the nobles.
Thinking of this, Gao Yue looked at the charming Xue Niang and the pitiful Xue Xiaoniang. He felt that his abdomen was hot and his mouth became dry.
The sister is beautiful and fragrant, and the sister is in bud, which is really hard to choose. Gao Yue only felt that his body was almost boiling.
"Who will go into battle first?"
Gao Yue asked, when Xue Niang heard this, her eyes were as charming as silk, while Xue Xiaoniang was shy, lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks were red, making Gao Yue feel excited when she saw her.
He was about to make a decision, but he heard a harsh horn sound outside.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"
The shouts came one after another, and the sound of warnings became more and more, which shocked the spring in the tent.
Gao Yue pushed Xue Niang away, picked up the sword placed beside him, and rushed out of the tent.
When he arrived outside the tent, the bitter cold wind blew towards him, which made Gao Yue tremble. Looking up, he saw the fire in the north flashing and the noise of the people.
The left and right quickly put on a cloak on Gao Yue and brought the armor. Gao Yue waved his hand and showed contempt: "It is not fearful that a mere thief attacked at night!"
"King, look at the movement, I'm afraid..."
"So what? The Southern Army wanted to use infantry to chop off the camp at night, set out in the evening and return in the early morning. They came here just..."
As he was talking, Gao Yue's expression changed: This place is more than 30 miles north of Pengcheng, and the Liang army stationed troops in Luliang a hundred miles southeast of Pengcheng. Where can his infantry get through?
That's only one possibility.
It was the cavalry, the Liang army's cavalry attacked!
But so what?
Gao Yue did not plan to wear armor because he judged that the Liang army's cavalry was just coming to harass him, and there was not many, so he could not rush to the camp at all.
Therefore, you cannot be in chaos at this time, otherwise the troops and horses of various units will easily misunderstand, thinking that the other party is the enemy and killing each other.
"Send the order and all troops will be closed and defend themselves. Don't attack easily, in case you take advantage of the enemy!"
Not long after I finished speaking, a fire broke out in the north, and half of the night sky was reflected in red. If there was an ordinary fire, the fire would not have spread so quickly.
I heard the crowds of people again, and the camp in the north was like boiling water, and it began to boil.
......
The north wind whistled, and the fire burned at the northern end of the Qi army camp that stretched for more than ten miles had turned into countless vermilion birds, flapping their scarlet wings and rushing south.
Wherever he went, it turned into a sea of fire, smoke and flamed Zhang Tian, people and horses whine, and countless figures struggled in the fire and disappeared.
The Liang army cavalry dressed in red military uniforms and black iron armor were wrapped in the cold wind, carrying the breath of blood and death, like waves, washing the Qi camp in waves.
The counterattacks organized by Qi troops in various parts of the camp were shattered in the stormy waves. The camp tents that were constantly ignited by Liang Qi turned into brilliant sparks, pointing out the road to the underworld for the panicked soldiers.
The Liang army was in full swing, and the panicked people fled in all directions, ran in the wild, collided and trampled by cavalrymen. This close-knit road of life will never be able to leave.
Another person ran eastward and jumped into the cold river, trying to wade onto the east bank and avoid the ferocious life-seeking monster behind him.
Countless people crossed the river and fled, stirring the river water like boiling water, and it was full of controversy.
However, many people do not know how to water and jump into the cold river, either drowning because of pushing, crowding, pulling each other, or sinking into the water because of cramps and unable to move.
After finally swimming to the other side, screams kept ringing on the shore. Many people died tragically on the spot, but the leisurely Liang cavalry trampled on and shot the fallen chickens who were on the shore.
Desperate figures were reflected in red by the flames, swaying on the whineless east bank, like flowers blooming everywhere, bloody red and charming.
Li Li, who led his army to attack at night, looked at the scarlet red around him, his eyes blooming with brilliant light, and his cavalry was so powerful that he finally truly realized today.
Five thousand cavalry, raiding tens of thousands of enemy camps, succeeded, and followed by not a defeat war, but an annihilation war, a one-sided massacre.
Compared with the embarrassing situation of "winning cannot be pursued, defeat cannot be retreated", Li Li felt very excited just thinking about it.
At this moment, his mount was trampling on life under his crotch, and his horse spear was harvesting countless lives. The feeling of galloping on the battlefield was so refreshing that Li Li's blood seemed to boil.
A loud shout in front attracted Li Li's attention. In the fire, he saw an angry wild boar rushing towards him with all his strength.
It was a shirtless burly man with black hair, riding on a tall horse, holding a horse spear, and rushing alone.
Like a furious wild boar, roaring and sprinting, she wanted to die with Li Li.
The two riders crossed, blood splashed, and the strong man who disappeared on his right shoulder instantly fell to the ground. His blood stained the snowy ground red, like a blooming flower on the other side.
Li Li led the cavalry to shuttle through blood and fire, as if galloping on the banks of the Yellow Spring River, spreading the other side of the flowers, transforming into a death knight leading the way, leading countless fearful souls to the unreturned path of the Yellow Spring.
The night sky, which was reflected by the flames, gradually turned white. In the wilderness, the defeated soldiers who escaped from the pursuit were still in shock, but were frightened to find that in the wilderness, a large number of cavalry had been lined up and were accelerating.
Rush towards them.
The morning light bloomed on the eastern horizon. Peng Jun and Liang Sen, who were charging towards the sun, looked at the scattered figures in the wilderness and let out a roar of blood.
"Occurrence, offense!!"
The second round of attacks like a last-ditch attack began, and the Liang army reserve team launched a fatal blow to the dispersed enemy.
Chapter completed!
