Chapter 583 Engagement
Yang Lixin angrily cut off a large tree as thick as a sea bowl in front of him with a knife.
Three thousand cavalry!
He was slaughtered like a chicken or a dog without even making a bubble.
Although he did not like to see these old companions who were undisciplined, never improved and still full of bandit habits, but being slaughtered like this still made him feel depressed.
Although their discipline is not good, their combat effectiveness is not bad!
If they were gathered together, they would be an extremely powerful fighting force.
In the end, just because of a little wealth and the inability to control the thing in the pants, they were scattered like this. came, and then the enemy seized the opportunity and defeated them one by one.
Three thousand cavalry, this is a lot of trouble!
"Brother, the Chu cavalry who attacked them are only over a thousand years old. Judging from their fighting techniques, habits and dress, I suspect that they are Jiang Qian's bodyguards." Xiao Zhongren, the general beside him, said : "These people are too powerful in combat. When Lin Heng made a rebellion, thousands of cavalry gathered together, but they were defeated by more than a thousand guards led by He Han."
Yang Lixin's face was solemn: "Are you sure it's this wave of people?"
"The information I got from a few lucky people who escaped back should be them!" Xiao Zhongren nodded and said: "Otherwise, I really can't imagine ordinary people. How can the cavalry have such combat effectiveness? We Although those guys were not of good character, their fighting ability was not bad, but they were killed so hard that they were unable to fight back, and only a handful of them could escape!"
"Jiang Qian looks really good! I was so anxious that I even sent out the guards around me!" Yang Lixin said.
“Of course we have to be anxious!” Xiao Zhongren said: “I also have to struggle for a while! But brother, although this team only has more than a thousand people, it cannot be underestimated. They must not be dispersed anymore. Looking at the combat style of this unit, they are very good at interweaving, dividing, and then attacking with one blow. Let's go, and our frontal combat capabilities are very strong. Once we divide our troops, I'm afraid they will come up to us like cats that smell something fishy."
Yang Lixin nodded and said: "That's the way it is! Ren, please pass on the order. Anyone who violates military rules and disciplines will be killed."
"Understood!"
"He Yiming is facing Kang Zhen's main force. There won't be any problems, right?" Yang Lixin turned to look to the southwest: "If he can't withstand it, we will There will be trouble!"
"He Yiming and the others are not bad!" Xiao Zhongren shook his head and said: "They have gathered some of the Cao Gang, the Demon Cult and Zhang Quanyi. There are more masters than we have here! Not to mention that they can defeat Kang Zhen. As long as we hold them back for a few days, when we take Macheng and Feng Kuan takes Yangcheng, the overall situation will be settled." br>
“That’s right!”
“And Kang Zhen is not considered Jiang Qian’s direct confidant. If things really couldn’t be done, he would probably run away!” Xiao Zhongren laughed, “Wait until Once Kang Zhen leaves, Jiang Qian will become the worst among men. ”
Yang Lixin lowered his voice and said: "I heard from Feng Kuan that our general is very interesting to Jiang Qian. Speaking of which, the general's wife has been gone for almost three years, right? We really want to catch Jiang Qian and let him How do you feel about marrying our general?"
Xiao Zhongren chuckled: "The general is not a lecherous person. The general really wants to marry this Jiang Qian. He probably saw the influence of this woman in Chu State. He really wants to become the general's wife. , then wouldn’t it be easier to plot the Chu Kingdom? ?”
Yang Lixin looked at Xiao Zhongren with wide eyes: “Is there such a thing here?”
“Of course, if there are so many beauties in the world, who would marry a bitch like Jiang Qian? Ah!" Xiao Zhongren said: "Brother, are you willing? Do you want to find such a powerful person?"
Yang Lixin shook his head like a rattle: "I can't bear it, I can't stand it. It just depends on whether the general can subdue such a person. We are still considered. Come on! ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
The previous depression of losing thousands of cavalry finally disappeared in the laughter.
As long as the result is good, some twists and turns in the process are acceptable.
In fact, Yang Lixin had had enough of these former green forest heroes, but after all, they were all former partners. He could not lose face, and usually only tried to persuade them with kind words, hoping that they would stick to the rules. Some rules. The real main force in combat is no longer the partners of the past.
The army, not the green forest!
Over the years, after traveling around the country, seeing too many elite armies, and experiencing countless bloody battles, Yang Lixin finally understood the gap here.
They did not listen to their own advice and finally paid the price with their lives, which they deserved.
If you die, just die!
It’s not unfair anyway. Who doesn’t have three to five innocent lives in the hands of those guys!
The night is getting darker.
The moon also ran into a large cloud, and the sky suddenly darkened. Outside the camp, there was a dense sound of horse hooves and shouts.
The camp was completely silent. The officers and soldiers inside seemed to be asleep, and there was no reaction at all.
The sound of horse hooves also sounded intensively for a while, and then gradually faded away.
After one update, the sound of horse hooves and shouts started again.
If it was repeated, it turned out to be noisy all night long.
It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that these harassing teams gradually dispersed.
Xiao Zhongren looked at Yang Lixin who was stretching out from the tent with some regret and said: "These people are very cunning. They think they are false and true, true and false. At the end of the day, I thought we were tired and lazy, so we would come and fight! Thanks to the two of us taking shifts all night! If it does come, we can still get some revenge for the dead brothers."
< br>"They are not at a loss!" Yang Lixin said: "Although we work in shifts, after all the hard work this night, the brothers did not have a good rest after all."
"Fortunately, it is only a few meters away from Macheng. It’s two days away!” Xiao Zhongren said. "There are only two to three thousand defenders there. I estimate that they should have run away by now after getting the news."
"That's the best! I like to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting!" Yang Lixin said.
"But if they run back to Yong'an County, it will not be a good thing for us. It is best if the morale of the army is weakened and the whole army is dispersed like this!" Xiao Zhongren said.
"Of course that's good. By the way, when will the scouts who were sent out in the morning come back?" Yang Lixin asked.
"Come on, we have packed up here, it's time for them to come back!" Xiao Zhongren said.
The scouts sent out in the early morning were to confirm where the enemy with astonishing combat power had gone, and were they still wandering around? Otherwise, if there is such an opponent waiting around, no one will feel confident. If it suddenly comes while you are marching, even if you are prepared, it will be very uncomfortable, right?
Lighting a fire, cooking, eating and drinking, the auxiliary soldiers have almost packed up the camp. With the sound of drums and trumpets, the team is ready to leave. Today, 20,000 people have to walk another fifty miles.
Tomorrow, we can arrive in Yangcheng.
The rapid sound of horse hoofs came to their ears. Yang Lixin and Xiao Zhongren turned around and saw their own scouts running back in the distance, but they looked a little embarrassed.
The two looked at each other, Yang Lixin waved, Xiao Zhongren got on his horse, and immediately rode forward with the prepared cavalry.
Is that damn cavalry here again?
If you really want to fight, you may not necessarily be afraid of them.
Xiao Zhongren's horse climbed up a gentle slope, but he suddenly reined in his horse and his expression changed drastically.
Where is a small amount of cavalry in the distance?
The dark Chu troops in phalanx after phalanx are advancing here, and in the gaps between these advancing Chu troops, the cavalry is running back and forth with murderous intent.
"It's the Tiger Army of Chu!" Xiao Zhongren swallowed, why are they here?
He suddenly understood the significance of the repeated appearance of the cavalry last night?
They are not harassing, nor do they want to attack the camp. They want to force all the scouts of their army into the camp and not go out, so that their army can easily access this area.
“Where did they come from?” An officer beside him was puzzled.
“You still have to ask? Of course it’s the waterway!” Xiao Zhongren said through gritted teeth.
"Isn't there He Yiming's army over there? How did these tens of thousands of Tiger and Guard troops get around them? Are they deaf or blind?"
Officers did it I don’t know, even Xiao Zhongren can’t figure it out.
But that's not important anymore.
