193 Clearing Your Mouth 2
Chapter 193 Qingkou 2
"Why didn't Pang Shigu move the military camp to a high place so that he would not be flooded? I heard that he was still playing chess with others in the tent at this time, and he said that if someone advised him too much, he would be executed for the crime of rioting the army. He would definitely be crazy." Liu Hu'er remembered the rumors in the military camp and shook his head and sighed. However, when Pang Shigu led his troops to surround Xuzhou and captured Zhu Xuan alive, he could not use the troops as much as Ge Congzhou, at least he was a good general. Why did he make such low-level mistakes? These are not something that a humble soldier like Liu Hu'er can know.
Liu Hu'er was looking at the chaos in the military camp. Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from a distance. He quickly turned his head and saw a team of cavalry on the ridge of the hills in the distance. There were about five or six hundred cavalry. Looking at the armor and flags, it was the Xuanwu Army's ranger, galloping towards the military camp. From a distance, you could vaguely see the heat of the horses breathing, connecting them. It seemed that the people and horses were already quite tired. Although Liu Hu'er was a little suspicious, he didn't remember when the Xuanwu Army sent such a large-scale ranger, but at first he was just a mere team leader, a sesame-sized military officer. How large the 70,000 army was, with more than ten battalions in a row.
It is normal for there to be more rangers in the south; secondly, there are few cavalry in the south, and Liu Hu'er is also an old corps. The cavalry is not slow, but the formation is not messy at all, and the sound of hooves is like thunder, but there is no noise at all. Obviously, it is rare to see the elite cavalry. Such iron cavalry is rare even in Xuanwu army. I am afraid that the entire Huainan cavalry of this level will only be more than a thousand, so Yang Xingmi will naturally hide it like a treasure, so how could he throw it all here all at once? Thinking of this, Liu Hu'er quickly ran to the side of the tower and shouted in a donkey-like voice: "Please open the camp gate below. The man who explored the cavalry is back, prepare some hay beans to feed the horses."
The lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the camp gate was dizzy with soaked food and clamoring soldiers. After a while, he heard that a cavalry had arrived. He quickly ran to the door and saw his subordinates busy moving away and preparing to open the camp gate for the cavalry. He couldn't help but be furious. He lifted his whip and whipped it over and cursed: "That thief ordered the door to be opened. Why haven't I heard of a cavalry coming out of the camp, and I have never reported it. Could it be that it's itchy?"
The soldiers who were busy moving and refusing horses suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, making a wave of dissatisfaction complaints. They were suffering in the mud for the past two days, and it was winter again. Everyone had already complained, and these were indiscriminate whips. If it weren't for the military law, the captain would have been dismembered by knives.
"The one who wants to open the door is down." It was Liu Hu'er who spoke. Seeing the situation below, he quickly climbed down from the building and said with a pity: "I saw that the team of cavalry brothers outside ran outside for a day. The people were very tired. The camp was full of mud and water, and even people could bear it. The horse was very spoiled. If you didn't hurry up, you would be afraid that you would lose weight. It was very troublesome. The thieves in Huainan would also take boats to get accustomed to the camp. How could there be such a strong iron cavalry? Please rest assured to the lieutenant."
The captain felt that Liu Hu'er was right after hearing this. In addition, he knew that Liu Hu'er was very qualified and had a high prestige among the guards. In addition, the army was unstable at this time. If a mutiny aroused, I was afraid that the guy who was eating on his neck would not be able to save it. So he followed the way and said, "Liu Hu'er, you are so bold. It's okay to forget this time. If there is such a thing next time, you will definitely be killed."
Liu Hu'er quickly bowed to apologize, and the soldiers on both sides quickly pushed the horses away and opened the door. At this time, the cavalry had already arrived at the door. Five or six hundred cavalry were standing on the open ground at the gate of the camp, but there was no sound of the horses except for a few sounds of gasping. Although there were only five or six hundred people, it seemed as if there were tens of thousands of people in front of them. The guards who opened the door were also shocked by this murderous aura and could not help but hold their breath.
"I don't know which general is under the command of the man. Such a powerful man is so powerful." Liu Hu'er couldn't help but exclaim in secret. The one who admired the most in this army was this iron army. Suddenly, Liu Hu'er felt something was wrong. The cavalry in front of him were almost all high noses and deep eyes, with curly beards and cheeks, almost all Hu people. He had been in the Xuanwu army for many years. The Hu wind was very strong in the late Tang Dynasty, and there were many Hu knights in various vassal states, and Xuanwu army was no exception. But like this, he didn't remember that there was a cavalry unit composed of almost all Hu people, let alone appeared on the ground of Jianghuai, which was even more abrupt.
Liu Hu'er was thinking hard over there. A black armored knight emerged from the cavalry formation. The knight was burly, wrapped in a black mountain armor from head to toe. Even a copper mask was worn on his face, leaving only two holes in his eyes. He seemed to be an iron man, which made people feel indescribable fear. He held a horse spear in his left hand, which seemed to be nothing. This horse spear was extremely useless.
It is difficult. If it is used well, it will be unfolded immediately. Twenty or thirty people cannot get close to you. Obviously, the man in front of him must be one of the few brave men. Although the gatekeepers on the gate could not remember any general in Pang Shigu's army, they saw that the man in front of him must be an extraordinary person. He quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare for reception. He walked out of the door and bowed to perform a ritual and said, "I don't know which general has returned. I have prepared hay and horse materials. Please go to the camp to rest."
The knight smiled, and the laughter sounded strange behind the mask, and he didn't answer. He grabbed his legs and didn't get off the horse, so he walked towards the camp.
The captain frowned. This man was going to ride a horse into the camp. Since ancient times, he never allowed to ride a horse in the military camp. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pull the reins of the other party's horse. However, he suddenly felt his armpit tightening, and then he rose into the air and fell out. It turned out that the knight actually lifted it up with one hand and threw it out. Although he borrowed the horse's stance, the knight's arm strength was extremely powerful.
The gatekeeper was shocked and confused. The soldiers on the side were stunned by the great change and even forgot to scold him. Liu Hu'er, who was standing beside him, suddenly had a familiar figure flashed in his mind. When he was in Xuzhou, he had dealt with Zhu Jin's army in Taining Town. Later, Shi Pu committed suicide and returned to Pang Shigu, and even fought with Taining Army all day long. Isn't this person in front of him the former Taining Army Jiedu who fought hard with Zhu Wen for nearly ten years, was finally defeated, abandoned his wife and son and fled to Huainan. Then he was
The Hu cavalry behind were naturally the life-and-death enemy of Xuanwu Town. Li Keyong from Hedong sent Shatuo reinforcements to Taining Town. Thinking of this, Liu Hu'er was about to shout, but he could only hear a dull sound of flesh and blood breaking, followed by a scream that was not like a human voice. He quickly looked for the sound. It turned out that the knight had driven his horse and trampled the dizzy gate guard captain under his hooves. The guards around him wanted to rush up, but under the strange look of the knight hiding behind the mask, he seemed to have fallen into the legendary fixed-minded method and was unable to move forward.
The gatekeeper shouted a few times, and then gradually disappeared, leaving only a pile of strange-shaped pieces of meat under the horse's hooves. Zhu Jin kicked the horse's belly bored, got off the dead captain's body, raised his long spear, pointed at the enemy's camp obliquely, shouted: "Kill, those who get the head of Pang Shigu will be rewarded with 500 taels, and hundreds of servants will be rewarded with ten years."
The hundreds of iron cavalry behind him burst into a loud voice. At this time, the guards woke up as if they were dreaming. They stepped forward to siege Zhu Jin and then closed the camp gate. But the iron cavalry rushed, especially the flesh and blood bodies could resist. Moreover, the guards did not have time to wear armor, and they were just horizontal swords, rattan cards, powerful crossbows, long spears and other sharp weapons to resist the cavalry were not in their hands, and they were immediately washed away.
Zhu Jin rushed to the front with one horse, and shot the far bent his bow and stabbed the near one, and stabbed the spear in the near one. In just half a cup of tea, he killed the camp through. He fought hard with Zhu Wen for more than ten years. Although the people were exhausted and lost to Zhu Wen, he had been in a mixed victory for a long time. Even Zhu Wen himself had been trapped in the enemy's formation several times and was dying in the enemy's head. He was really a rare hero in the world. Otherwise, Li Ke used his Shatuo Iron Cavalry under him, and wouldn't he still surrender to him after repeated defeats and retreated from Yunzhou to Huainan. His brother was killed by Zhu Wen, and his wife and children fell into Zhu Wen's hands. It can be said that he has an irreconcilable hatred with Xuanwu and Zhu Wen. Yang Xingmi is here
The next time he led his troops north to resist the invasion of Xuanwu Army, Zhu Jin led his Shatuo Iron Cavalry to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Huai River, first built a dam to make the water level of the Huai River rise, then first released water to attack Pang Shigu's Xuanwu Army's camp, and then led 5,000 Iron Cavalry to attack with his general Hou Zan. This army was under the banner of Xuanwu Army. Because Zhu Jin had been engaged in nearly ten years of dealing with Xuanwu Army, he knew the internal situation of Xuanwu Army. In addition, after the water attack, the Xuanwu Army was in chaos, and there were many fewer patrols outside, and they were touched to the barracks and knew nothing. Zhu Jin himself, as a governor of the side, had once been on par with Yang Xingmi, Zhu Wen and others, and actually led 500 cavalry first, which shows how eager he was to fight.
Suddenly, the soldiers of Xuanwu Army were sucked in this mud pool for more than a day, transporting the military rations from the water and draining the water from the military camp. They were extremely tired and complaining. They were blocked and beaten up in the camp and suddenly lost order. Thousands of people ran from the east to the west of the camp, from the west to the east of the camp, and were driven around by the opponent's cavalry. The officers of Xuanwu Army shouted and scolded their subordinates, trying to organize them to resist.
However, Zhu Jin knew very well about the inside story of Xuanwu Army. Before the attack, he explained the enemy military system and the officers' uniforms to his subordinates in detail. The raided cavalry consisted of more than ten cavalry as a group, and they rushed forward. As long as they saw the officers' uniforms, they could shoot and kill them, or urge them to attack with spears, they would soon kill the Xuanwu Army generals in the camp. Without the generals and officials, the thousands of soldiers in the camp were like a group of sheep, and were divided and killed by the enemy cavalry like wolves, without any resistance.
