Fenshui flows slowly, without any rush, and occasionally you can see fish swimming back and forth in it.
Li Mu stood on the shore, staring at the other side, looking a little impatient.
The deputy general was even more anxious.
"No, didn't the original carrier pigeon say it would arrive early today?"
He looked up into the air again, "Why is there no news yet?"
"General, why are there no homing pigeons?"
Li Mu explained helplessly: "Carrier pigeons cannot be used at will. They need to be trained between the two places and can be used for several months or even a year. When we first came here, where would the carrier pigeons fly here?"
"
"I see."
The deputy general suddenly understood and looked at the calm opposite side again.
"General, did Duan Shao lie to us??"
"What are you lying to us about?"
"Deceive us here and annihilate us here!"
"Just to annihilate a thousand of us?"
Li Mu's lips trembled. He really didn't want to explain anything anymore. If Qi State's Great Sima went to such great lengths just to annihilate their thousand-man squad, then he would admit it.
However, Li Mu did not completely ignore what the deputy general said.
Duan Shao could not trust Wei Xiaokuan, and Wei Xiaokuan could not trust Duan Shao.
When he came here, Wei Xiaokuan warned him many times in letters, telling him not to trust Duan Shao easily, and to put the preservation of his strength first in everything. Duan Shao seemed to be a calm gentleman, but in fact he was cunning and changeable, and it was difficult to see through the truth.
, he can apply any tactics and strategies freely, and he is different from those generals who have a fixed style. He is a person who can use anything, and is a master of many tactics.
The strategy of dividing the troops this time was exactly what Wei Xiaokuan requested, to minimize risks. He didn't even want Li Mu to greet him in person.
But Li Mu had to come.
Everything has risks. As a general, he had been prepared to die very early, either tomorrow or the day after.
Everyone has to die, it is better to die for something important.
The deputy general was extremely frightened and had the idea of ​​​​escape several times, but Li Mu didn't care at all. He sent scouts to find out where Yao Xiong was marching, while he continued to wait and see.
Just like that, when it was getting dark, the scouts went more and more frequently.
This also indicates that Yao Xiong is constantly approaching.
The lieutenant general sat aside in despair, no longer having any hope.
Suddenly, a soldier sounded a warning.
The deputy general raised his head suddenly and saw the flag gradually appearing in the distance.
Finally someone appeared in the distance.
He jumped up quickly, "General! General!!"
Li Mu hurriedly walked out from the side and looked into the distance.
A group of cavalry appeared on the other side. They were surrounded by a carriage and were moving towards this place.
When the distance between the opponent continued to decrease, Li Mu finally saw the opponent's flag clearly, "Duan"
A trace of joy flashed across Li Mu's face.
"General!!"
A knight came in a hurry and rushed to the tent. He fell heavily from his horse, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He gritted his teeth and got up, and quickly rushed to Li Mu's side.
"Yao Xiong's former army scouts are less than ten miles away from here!"
"I saw their flags and a lot of cavalry, about eight hundred people."
Li Mu frowned and looked at the group of troops in the distance.
He quickly drew his sword and said, "Go and tell the people on the other side not to rest and to cross the river now!"
"Cheng Buji, lead the people to meet them!"
"The rest of you, follow me!!"
Li Mu quickly ordered and began to organize manpower to fight against Yao Xiong and pick up the people on the other side.
He wanted to create time for these people. After the opponent crossed the river, the two sides joined forces and used elite cavalry. There was still hope that they could tear apart Yao Xiong's formation and leave. Before coming, he had already arranged for several people to retreat.
The road map depends on what the situation is like on Yao Xiong’s side!
When the matter came to its most critical moment, Li Mu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The army quickly split into two. Li Mu led the cavalry to fight the enemy's scouts, while the rest came to meet those who were crossing the river.
The soldiers prepared their boats in advance and glided to the other side in a hurry.
After the encounter between the two sides, there was not even any unnecessary dialogue. The general Li Mu left behind just asked them to cross the river quickly and said nothing else. The Qi people were also very cooperative and followed them without asking anything.
Cross the river.
Li Mu was leading the cavalry at this moment, with full momentum, and the smoke was billowing, creating the illusion of a large army charging.
The enemy's scouts quickly sensed the movement here. Some went back to report, while others began to take detours.
The cavalry from both sides met on the path, with their horses neighing and arrows flying.
The scouts quickly evacuated, and some were shot dead on the spot.
Li Mu ordered the roads along the road to be destroyed to slow down the enemy's advance. They cut down trees to block the cavalry and set fires in several places.
After Li Mu repelled all the enemy's scouts and left others to wreak havoc here, he quickly led dozens of riders back.
In the next war, he needs Duan Shao's help.
When Li Mu returned again, most of the Qi people had already landed, and there were still a small number of people who were ready.
The people of Zhou stood vigilantly on those high towers, watching the enemies coming across the river.
The atmosphere is quite depressing.
They have been fighting for many years, and they never dreamed that one day they would help Qi people cross the river.
After the Qi people landed ashore, they quickly formed an array, fully demonstrating their distrust of the enemy.
Neither party spoke, and their eyes looked at each other full of hostility.
Li Mu rode forward and saw this scene.
He looked at Qi Ren's formation and frowned slightly.
He immediately realized something was wrong.
It wasn't that the opponent's preparations for battle made him wary, but that the opponent's formation was a bit too casual. It was ordinary and nothing surprising.
Duan Shao? Ordinary?
Li Mu asked loudly: "May I ask where General Duan is?! Where is the Emperor of Qi?!"
"The enemy is approaching now, please come out and meet me!!"
Hearing Li Mu's cry, the people standing in front of him slowly moved out of the way, and saw a tall general wearing armor striding out.
Li Mu looked at the people in front of him.
Before setting off, he had seen Duan Shao's portrait, and the man in front of him looked exactly like the portrait.
However, this person's eyes are frivolous, always looking around, not looking at himself, which makes him look awkward.
Duan Shao of Qi State
Li Mu suddenly felt alert in his heart.
"Someone is coming!!"
"Whoosh!!"
Before Li Mu could speak, the enemy fired an arrow. Li Mu rolled off his horse and barely dodged the arrow.
The next moment, the Qi people roared and launched an attack on the surrounding Zhou people. The general who looked like Duan Shao hid back again. The Zhou people used the favorable terrain and arrow towers to fight back. However, the Qi people were not enough.
There are two to three thousand people, but there are only five or six hundred Zhou people left here.
Li Mu got up, picked up his weapon, and started fighting with the Qi people who were charging towards him.
Li Muhu's eyes were wide open and bloodshot!
General Wei is right, Duan Shao really has bad intentions!
But he didn't understand why Duan Shao spent so much money just to kill more than a thousand of his people. Could it be that he had other ideas?
Li Mu killed three Jinyang soldiers who rushed towards him, and his body was covered in blood.
The Zhou people on both sides continued to shoot and kill, and the Qi people fell down one after another.
But Li Mu knew in his heart that he was finished.
Originally, if the two of them joined forces, they could still deal with Yao Xiong, but now his ally instantly jumped back, and he was attacked from both sides, unable to escape even if he wanted to.
Although Li Mu was brave, he could not withstand the numerical superiority of the Jinyang soldiers and attacked suddenly. The Zhou people finally failed to hold on. More and more people were killed. Every arrow tower was captured by them, and the camp was also destroyed.
burn.
Li Mu only led a few dozen people, fighting and retreating all the way to the edge of the Fen River, where he was surrounded.
At this moment, the cry of killing was heard again in the distance, and thousands of cavalrymen held high the Yao flag and charged out.
Three parties gathered here at the same time.
Yao Xiong was wearing heavy armor and holding a horse spear, looking at the strange battle situation in front of him with a look of confusion on his face.
Yao Xiong received news from Shuozhou.
They said that Duan Shao was going to defect to Wei Xiaokuan and follow Wei Xiaokuan to flee Hebei and return to the south.
Yao Xiong was particularly surprised by the news and couldn't believe it.
Then Duan Shao looked like he was going to attack on a large scale, which made Yao Xiong very anxious. Sure enough, the Zhou people also sent troops and quickly approached Pingyang. Yao Xiong had to take charge of too many defense areas by himself, and the new army failed to complete it, which caused great pressure.
.
But just when he was about to capture Duan Shao alive to avoid further trouble, he suddenly discovered that Duan Shao, who had crossed the river, was surrounding and beating up the Zhou people who came to escort them.
These Zhou people brought a lot of supplies, transportation tools, etc. to the Qi people, but the result was this.
Yao Xiong was a little confused about the situation in front of him.
He had no choice but to order the army to stop and wait for the two sides to decide the winner.
After Li Mu saw Yao Xiong appear, he no longer had any hope of survival. He looked around.
The lieutenant's body was not far away, missing his head.
The soldiers who followed him to rescue him also fell down somewhere. There were only a few dozen people left around them, and they were still decreasing.
Li Mu gritted his teeth.
He had been prepared to die for a long time. He had thought of many ways to die, but he never thought it would be this one.
Duan Shao.
"Duan Shao!!!"
Li Mu roared angrily, turned around and jumped out into Fenshui.
With a popping sound, the water splashed with waves.
The other soldiers jumped into the water one after another without any hesitation.
The people of Qi again shot arrows at the Fen River and threw stones.
At this moment, Yao Xiong's army was gradually surrounding them from their rear.
Just when Yao Xiong asked people to raise their big bows, the Qi people suddenly changed their formations, and one person quickly walked out of the army.
The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!
This man was not afraid and quickly walked up to Yao Xiong, raised his head and looked at him.
Yao Xiong frowned, "Who are you?"
"In the next section, Xiao Yan, following the orders of Da Sima, came to attack the Zhou people who invaded the frontier fortress."
"Duan Xiaoyan?? Da Sima is yours"
"It's my brother."
Yao Xiong was silent for a moment, then looked at the other soldiers and said, "Tell them to put down their weapons."
Duan Xiaoyan nodded and looked at the army behind him, "Put down your weapons!!"
The Jinyang soldiers looked at each other in confusion, Duan Xiaoyan yelled again, and then they hesitantly put down their weapons.
Yao Xiong looked incredulous, "Da Sima just issued an edict to insult my brother not long ago, and even I was dismissed. What is going on now?"
Duan Xiaoyan shook his head, "I don't know. I was just following orders. By the way, I am good friends with your ancestor, Shi Nai, and I have helped him many times in the past."
Yao Xiong suddenly came to his senses after listening to his words.
He suddenly looked in the direction of Linfen.
"not good!!"
He looked at the people around him impatiently, "You should appease these Jinyang soldiers first, take away their weapons and armor, take them to the nearest school ground, and keep them under guard!!"
"Don't be rude to this General Duan!!"
"The rest of you! Follow me!!"
Linfen.
"kill!!"
The people of the Zhou Dynasty were surrounding the chariot and were attacking the city fiercely.
Dugujie stood at the top of the city, holding a crossbow, and kept shooting at the soldiers. The morale of the defenders in the city was high, and they were not afraid of the dense enemies outside the city. Although their number was small, they were still
Fighting back bravely.
The general Zhou outside the city was very angry.
Yao Xiong left only a few people to defend the city, but left himself. This was undoubtedly because he looked down on the generals at the front and felt that they could not capture the city in a short time.
He insisted on letting Yao Xiong see that the Zhou people's fighting power was not as weak as he thought!
Damn it, you put a few hundred people in a city and you want to block your own army of nearly ten thousand people?!
How much you look down on yourself!
General Zhou adopted the classic tactic of besieging three towers and one, using walking and throwing carts to bombard the city wall, and then began to rush the carts to prepare to directly destroy the city gate.
The counterattack on the city wall was extremely fierce. It was not like what hundreds of people could have caused. A large number of Zhou people were shot and killed by them. There were more and more corpses, blocking the only way to pass. The escort of the rushing car was
One batch after another was changed, but they could not reach the city gate.
General Zhou ordered again to send more troops to attack.
The people of Zhou Dynasty were also aroused, and they roared and climbed onto the city.
When the three large ladder trucks came into contact with the city wall, the enemy began to attack the city wall continuously.
Dugujie abandoned his crossbow and took the lead in counterattacking these people with his long soldiers in hand.
The two sides fought together, with Dugujie shouting and killing one enemy after another. They also burned the enemy's ladder truck, and corpses fell from the ladder like raindrops.
General Zhou was furious when he saw this. He put on heavy armor himself and began to lead the most elite soldiers to attack the city.
Just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, the rapid sound of war drums suddenly sounded from a distance.
The sound of the war drums suddenly weakened the sound of fighting on the battlefield.
Dugujie on the city wall was stunned when he heard the familiar war drum.
Reinforcements??
Where did the reinforcements come from?
As for Zhou Jiang, he was also in a panic at this moment. This was the war drum of the Qi people.
The next moment, a group of cavalry was seen emerging from the east.
There were not many of these knights, but they formed a long snake formation. They were constantly charging, but the formation was always maintained, and everyone charged at the same speed.
A wave of bad memories suddenly came to Zhou Jiang's mind.
"Camp Mandrill?!"
Not only him, but also the rest of the Zhou people, when they saw such elite cavalry rushing towards them, the first thing they thought of was the most famous 'Mandrill Camp'.
General Zhou's legs began to tremble.
Liu Taozi??
Didn't he say he was in the south?
Can he still fly?
The next moment, the opponent shortened the distance greatly, and Zhou Jiang could see more clearly.
These knights were all wearing armor and fully armed. They even wore masks and held up flags, which were not Liu's.
Good news.
The opponent is not Mandrill Camp, and the enemy general is not Liu Taozi.
Good news, the opponent is fucking Baibao Xianbei!! The leader is fucking Duan Shao!!
The knights charged forward and hit the Zhou people's flanks hard. The Zhou people who were storming the city wall were defeated in an instant. Their formation was torn apart. The cavalry was like stepping on a field of crops, sweeping directly.
There was a huge blank. Zhou people had not experienced the baptism of Baibao for many years.
The officers yelled loudly, but the soldiers lost their courage and some began to flee. Then a chain reaction was triggered, and more and more soldiers began to flee.
This Qi cavalry rushed over and easily penetrated the enemy's formation, then turned around and penetrated again.
In the back and forth crushing, the Zhou people were defeated and fled in all directions.
These knights chased around and then began to collect supplies.
Dugujie stood on the city wall, dumbfounded as he watched the battle happening below.
If I read it correctly, this seems to be Baobao Camp??
There has been no news from Baibao for a long time, why does it appear here?
Is the visitor an enemy or a friend?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Dugujie's mind. He quickly woke up and asked people to destroy the ladder and enter a state of preparation for war again.
After this group of Qi people arrived, they defeated the Zhou army in just three rounds of charges, and then began to harvest unscrupulously.
The progress was so rapid that Dugujie had never seen it in his life.
Even if his own general led the Mandrill Battalion, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve this in such a short period of time, right?
If they come to attack the city.
Dugujie's forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat, and he felt a little desperate.
Something big is going to happen now.
Outside the city wall, a general wandered over, looking up at the city in front of him.
He also held a child in his arms. The child was blindfolded and tied to the general's chest.
The general is Duan Shao.
Duan Shao turned around, and several knights immediately pushed several people in front of Duan Shao.
These people were tied up and gagged.
The knight pulled out the cloth from their mouths, and it was Zhang Siyan who took the lead.
Zhang Siyan stared at Duan Shao angrily, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Duan Shao!! What exactly do you want to do?! We clearly agreed! Why break your promise?!"
Duan Shao looked calm.
"When the two countries are at war, where does the treachery come from? As for treachery, Emperor Xiaozhao sent Yuwenhu's mother back to the Puppet Zhou Dynasty to demand an end to the war, but Yuwenhu then began to send troops to invade. This is treachery."
"What on earth do you want?!"
Duan Shao's expression suddenly became solemn.
"I, Duan, am not a gentleman, but I am not a shameless thief who can join forces with enemy generals to deal with his own family!!"
"Liu Taozi, it's me who will calm down!"
"As for your general, go back and tell him, let him wash his neck and wait! After I defeat Liu Taozi and regain Hebei, the next step is to chop off his head and sacrifice it to my old brothers!
"
"Without the terrain of Yubi City, let's see how he can stop me!!"
Duan Shao pointed at the thieves in front of him.
"Leave this and report back!! I'll chop the rest!!"
"only!!"
