Chapter 142 Native Soldiers
“Where is the noise?” Wenle asked nervously. You must know that Daqian’s Beidi is currently at war with the Yan Kingdom. Although there has not yet been a large-scale battle, but A small group of Yan troops have been frantically raiding the border area of Qian Kingdom.
The most important thing is that the city where I am now was attacked by the Yan people just a few months ago!
Just like the words of a man who has just had an affair are not so trustworthy,
It is difficult for you to feel safe in a city that has just been broken.
"Oops, something happened at the north gate. The Yan dog came in through the north gate last time."
When Mr. Wen heard that the "Yan people" were coming, he was immediately frightened.
He is different from Meng Gong. He is just a scholar raised by the prince. His side job is to be the prince's apprentice, and his main job is to chat with the prince to relieve his boredom.
No matter how he analyzed the general situation of the world in the room just now, it would not affect his panic when he learned that the Yan people were calling again.
Meng Gong took a deep breath, grabbed Mr. Wen's shoulders, shook him a few times, and shouted:
"Mr. Wen, quickly go and notify the prince's guards to protect the prince. I will mobilize the local soldiers!"
"Okay...ok..."
Wen Le swallowed and rushed immediately Returned to the government office.
Meng Gong no longer paused and ran straight towards the warehouse where the soldiers were stationed.
Having not run far, a group of figures suddenly appeared in front of them. They were wearing navy blue coats and wrapped in cloth strips and holding various weapons;
The leader was riding a horse, wearing a red cloak and a hairpin crown. She was clearly a woman over thirty years old.
Before Meng Gong could speak, the woman immediately shouted:
"General Meng, why are there riots in the north?"
Obviously, these soldiers were sensing that the north He ran out immediately after the door banged. , this made Meng Gong feel determined. At this time, he no longer cared about etiquette, and immediately stepped forward and said to the woman on the horse:
"Mrs. Daxi, something happened at the north gate, maybe. The Yangou is here again.”
Upon hearing that the Yan people were coming,
Mrs. Da Xi did not show the slightest panic on her face, and her excitement was even vaguely visible.
The wolf soldiers behind him were also excited. Although their equipment was very poor and they had very little cotton armor, at this time, they let out a long shout of excitement.
"Mrs. Da Xi, I don’t know if Yan Gou has captured the North Gate. The guards in the city are scattered everywhere. If Yan Gou has captured the North Gate, the situation may collapse. Madam, please send troops to the North Gate quickly. "Control the door."
"The Yan people are coming, and I will definitely fight them, but Master Meng, you have to agree as you said when you set out, five taels of silver for each Yan person's head!"
"Inevitable!" Meng Gong immediately patted his chest, and then quickly pointed to the government office behind him and said: "Madam, please don't worry, there is a prince from our Daqian living in that government office today, and I will protect you today." This city is equivalent to saving the prince's life. The prince and the court will definitely not be stingy with the reward. "
For Da Qian, the wolf soldiers are actually mercenaries.
When Prime Minister Ci Mian was quelling the rebellion in the Southwest, he took the initiative to subdue some of the chieftains and relied on their strength to finally pacify the Southwest.
Subsequently, when rebellions or rebellions broke out several times in the Daqian hinterland, wolf soldiers were often deployed to help put down the rebellion.
Although these soldiers are poorly equipped, they fight extremely bravely and are not afraid of death!
However, although they were nominally subjects of Daqian and recognized the emperor of Daqian as their emperor, in fact they were more like independent kingdoms in the southwest.
Of course, it is normal to ask for bounties. Soldiers raised by the imperial court have to receive military pay, and their heads can also be exchanged for bounties and military honors during war. These wolf soldiers came from the southwest of Qian Kingdom to the north, so naturally they are not He came to destroy the family and provide relief to the emperor.
After receiving Meng Gong’s assurance, Mrs. Daxi opened her mouth and let out a long call. This kind of long call would appear in many folk songs in later generations, but at this time, Mrs. Daxi’s long call was With a sonorous killing intent.
"My sons, follow me to kill the Yan people!"
Mrs. Da Xi took the lead, and the wolf soldiers behind her moved forward bravely, walking like flying cheetahs.
They are the people of the mountains. Their feet walk on the mountain road as if they were on the flat ground. When they run on the flat ground, they are naturally even faster. Even though Mrs. Daxi is riding a horse, many of the soldiers behind her have already overtaken her.
Meng Gong immediately ran forward. When passing the government office, Meng Gong happened to see the prince walking out of the door with the support of the guards.
"Your Majesty!"
"General Meng, are the Yan people really calling again?"
After hearing the news of the incident at the North Gate,
< br>
King Fu, who was about to wash his feet and go to bed to rest, jumped up. Of course, the height of the jump was not high, and then he fell directly to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please escape quickly. Please don't stay in this government office any longer."
Meng Gong is a soldier, and his father was once the sole general under Mr. Thornface. Naturally, It is impossible to be superstitious about anything.
The reason why King Fu is not allowed to stay in Fuya is that the goal of Fuya is too obvious. He asked the locals about the last time the Yan people entered the city today and learned that Yanren rushed directly to the government office after breaking the door.
Prince Fu was so frightened that the fat all over his body turned up in waves,
He is just a vassal king. Although he has a clear mind, he has not experienced any real scenes because the vassal king has been "imprisoned" in the fief and raised as a pig.
But at this moment, King Fu immediately took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his clothes, stuffed it into Meng Gong's hand without hesitation,
shouted in a trembling voice :
"General Meng, with this thing you can control the garrison in Mianzhou City, and, and..."
King Fu turned around and pointed at the palace guards beside him,
br>
Said:
“Just leave two of these guards for me to help me walk. You can take the rest with you. You can’t do things without people around you.”
Wenle Upon hearing this, he was immediately stunned, and he instinctively wanted to stop the prince.
But Meng Gong spoke first:
"What about the prince's safety?"
"If the city is broken, how can I be safe? General Meng, go quickly. I, my king, I will find a place to hide first."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Meng Gong’s father because The imperial court suppressed the assassination of Xianggong, and he died of depression. Meng Gong was also implicated by his father, and his official position was never high. This time, he actually went north with the team as the guide of the wolf soldiers. He was very interested in this man. King Fu, Meng Gong is really grateful.
"Mr. Wen, please protect the prince, you all, follow me!"
Meng Gong took away most of the palace guards without politeness, and chased the wolf in front of him. The soldiers ran towards the north gate.
Mr. Wen supported King Fu,
He could feel King Fu trembling, and King Fu could also feel Mr. Wen trembling. The two of them were shaking together, and after influencing each other, the shaking became more severe!
Prince Fu suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry:
“No, Wenle, damn, are you supporting me or am I supporting you?”
……
The north gate of Mianzhou City,
tonight,
was scored twice by the same army.
Fan Li stood at the front like an iron tower, specializing in killing the defenders who tried to approach the city gate. The blind man stood behind Fan Li, helping him monitor the cold arrows that might come.
Zheng Fan, A Ming, Xue San, Siniang and others rushed to kill. The reaction of the Mianzhou City guards this time was indeed faster than the last time, but at this time a few people came in scattered The soldiers were scattered before they could even get close to the city gate.
At this time,
a group of cavalry from before the attack had already rushed in through the opened north gate. The leader was not Liang Cheng, but Huo Guang.
The Huo family has many members but few heads, so this time they fought in the front line.
The first wave of more than a hundred cavalry who rushed in charged directly to cover them up. After seeing the cavalry entering the city, the defenders who were on the way saw their morale drop to the extreme. When they saw the cavalry charging towards them again, , immediately began to flee.
Zheng Fan showed a smile, and the plot finally returned to a familiar rhythm.
The second wave of cavalry entering the city also came in, but this time they were barbarians led by Liang Cheng himself.
When the cavalry enters the city, it is naturally impossible for them to rush in swarm. After all, the city gate is so big. When Liang Cheng launched the charge, he entered in echelons, so as to avoid crowding at the city gate as much as possible. .
When the second group of hundreds of cavalry led by Liang Cheng came in, Huo Guang immediately led his soldiers of the Huo family to charge towards the center of the city.
Fu Yamen,
Fu Yamen,
Huo Guang and the soldiers of the Huo family around him have naturally heard about Zheng Fan's last heroic attack on the city.
Only in the government office are the big shots,
The heads of the people in the government office are valuable.
One is better than many.
Whether the family members can regain their freedom depends on them fighting for it!
However, at this moment, a long cry of "wuwuwuwuwu..." suddenly came from the street ahead, like a hunter chasing a wild beast in the forest.
Liang Cheng's eyes immediately focused. As an extremely good general, he naturally has his own abilities. In this, he even has a bit of the general's innate intuition.
This voice, this momentum,
Liang Cheng immediately shouted:
“There is an ambush in the city!”
There are indeed soldiers in the city, but it is not an ambush, because no one can predict that the garrison of Cuiliu Fort will visit here again tonight.
But for Liang Cheng at this time, no matter whether the opponent can understand in advance or not, in this situation, it is equivalent to an ambush for our own side.
At this time, Liang Cheng ordered without hesitation:
“Turn around and withdraw!”
Of course he can choose to charge. No matter whether there is an ambush or not, everyone will be united. Rush up and see who is the tough one!
But Liang Cheng didn't dare, not because he was afraid, but because as a general, he had to be responsible to his master, Zheng Fan.
These cavalrymen are from the master's family background. The wealth they have accumulated through hard work cannot be just given away to gamble on the outcome.
The most important thing is that inside the city, the advantage of cavalry is basically lost, and may even become a disadvantage.
Liang Cheng doesn’t like this kind of thinking about fighting. War is war, and people will die, and people will definitely die. But he really doesn’t want to wait until he returns because he has lost too many troops and his master will be killed. Squatting on the tower of Cuiliu Castle every day and sighing.
The barbarian soldiers behind Liang Cheng immediately began to shout to the comrades behind him, and did not directly turn their horses' heads and rush back. Otherwise, if the rear team and the front team collided directly, it would really be a disaster. Those who want to get out can't get out, and those who want to get in can't get in.
Because the cavalry in front suddenly stopped, it did cause some confusion among the cavalry following behind. However, the advantage of Liang Cheng's previous arrangement of entering in stages was revealed. After a short period of confusion, the cavalry in the rear began to Withdraw.
At the same moment, the wolf soldiers led by Mrs. Da Xi rushed over.
Zheng Fan looked with some astonishment at the sudden appearance of a group of strangely dressed soldiers in front of him. Blind Man Bei’s voice rang in Zheng Fan’s heart,
“My lord, we are the wolves from the southwest chieftain of Qian Kingdom. Soldiers!”
Then the humanoid blind man Radar said again:
"Too many!"
The wolf soldiers galloped quickly, and unlike the people of the Qian Kingdom, the border troops of the Qian Kingdom had always had a fear engraved in their bones for the Yan Kingdom's army.
This fear comes from the "silver waves all over the ground" a hundred years ago. This fear also comes from the humility of Qian State towards Yan State in the past hundred years.
But the wolf soldiers did not have these psychological burdens. When they saw the Yan cavalry in front of them, it was like seeing shining silver ingots!
The street is so wide that many anxious wolf soldiers have already climbed up the wall and started running, and even started running on the rooftops on both sides.
They yelled, they shouted, they were fearless.
The vanguard cavalry led by Huo Guang was already charging forward, and the wolf soldiers in front were coming too fast. The two sides didn't have much room to think, and they collided directly.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The sound of impact came,
The weight of the knight and the horse knocked the wolf soldiers at the front directly away, and the bones of those who did not fly away were broken.
But soon, the wolf soldiers behind them surged up like a tide.
They jumped from the houses on both sides, holding the knight on the horse and falling off the horse. They hooked the horse's legs, and they fought bravely to gain space for their companions behind them.
This is not a war, this is simply ants biting an elephant without fear of death!
Fan Li directly knocked away a soldier in front of him with an axe, but at the next moment, his right arm was hit by two arrows.
Crazy arrows began to shoot out from all directions.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Fan Li roared and swept away two more wolf soldiers who tried to get closer.
Blind Bei opened his hands and wanted to help Fan Li block the arrows, but there were too many arrows, and the wolf soldiers came from the side one by one, as fast as a cheetah.
Siniang's threads kept wrapping around her body, mercilessly strangling the enemies around her.
Zheng Fan also let out an angry roar and beheaded a native soldier.
At this moment, thousands of guards suddenly ran up on the walls on both sides, many of them holding crossbows in their hands.
These are the city guards gathered by Meng Gong with the help of the imperial edict and the palace guards. At this time, more city guards are coming here.
“Shoot!”
Meng Gong ordered the shooting without hesitation.
“Poof!”
A Ming blocked one side of Siniang’s side. A crossbow arrow pierced A Ming’s abdomen. He blocked the arrow for Siniang. .
Moreover, A Ming already had three arrows stuck in his body, and they were all blocked by his companions.
In fact, in a real war, the strength of a warrior can hardly play a decisive role, because this is not a one-on-one fight.
It was the hero Chen who tortured Zheng Fan, the blind man and Xue San to no end in the inn, but that was because there were few people on Zheng Fan's side. If the barbarians from Cuiliu Fort were present at that time, it would have been very difficult for Chen Daxia not to escape. It’s hard to escape the word death.
Shatuo Queshi was so heroic at the time, but he still died under the siege of the Zhenbei Army's cavalry.
“Retreat!”
Liang Cheng has already issued the order to retreat, but the reason why Zheng Fan and others did not retreat in a hurry before was, firstly, to gain some time for the cavalry behind, and secondly. It was because he wanted to meet Huo Guang and others in front.
But now, it is really impossible not to retreat.
Thinking a little more selfishly, Zheng Fan would rather all the soldiers of Cuiliu Fort be here, than any of the demon kings under his command should be lost here in a daze.
"Roar!"
Fan Li roared again, holding the ax in his right hand and charging forward again, forcibly driving back these wolf soldiers who were not afraid of death. After a certain distance, he turned around and ran towards the city gate.
Zheng Fan reached out and took the hand extended by a barbarian soldier, and then he was pulled onto the horse's back. The rest of the people were also supported on the horse's back by his own people. Only Fan Li started to go crazy. The earth accelerated and he ran faster than the horse.
The rest of the people are also retreating,
But the hundred cavalrymen who were among the first to rush into the city, including Huo Guang, had already fallen into the crowd of native soldiers. The native soldiers used every possible method to overturn the knights, even if the knights were wearing armor. But it’s impossible to wrap yourself up in an airtight tin can.
The screams kept coming.
In addition, because Huo Guang was surrounded by people of the same clan, when Liang Cheng first gave the order, they did not choose to turn their horses around and escape from the battle immediately, but chose to rescue those who were coming back to them. tribesmen.
Such a delay resulted in their entire group being surrounded.
Of course, this also allowed them to delay enough time for the rear troops to successfully withdraw from the city gate.
Zheng Fan's eyes were red, and anger was burning in his heart. This was not a game, these lost soldiers were all real people.
Mowan seemed to sense Zheng Fan's anger and wanted to wake up, but Zheng Fan gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed Mowan's restlessness.
He agreed with Liang Cheng’s judgment that the cavalry had no advantage in the city!
“Ahhhh!!!”
Huo Guang let out a roar, a red light flashed on his body, and killed several wolf soldiers with his long knife, but the next moment, a The arrow hit Huo Guang's head directly. The arrow was very powerful and most of it penetrated, leaving only the feathers stuck in Huo Guang's forehead.
It can be said that it is quite aggrieved for an eighth-grade martial artist to die in a chaotic fighting situation.
Just like the eighth-grade old man a few months ago when facing the rolling barbarian cavalry.
Mrs. Da Xi put down the bow and arrow in her hand.
Her eyes swept over the armors of the Yan corpses.
The Qian Kingdom prohibited fine weapons such as armors. Everyone knows the reason why it fell into the hands of the chieftain.
But everything captured on the battlefield is theirs!
Mrs. Daxi raised her head and looked toward the city gate. The Yan people were retreating.
Some of the wolf soldiers were already cutting off the heads and peeling off the armor from the Yan people's corpses, but there were still many wolf soldiers who had not taken the heads and began to actively rush towards the city gate. .
They want to kill the Yan people. The Yan people's heads and Yan people's armors, including the horses under the Yan people's crotches, are temptations they can't resist!
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo…”
Mrs. Da Xi once again let out a long cry,
This is not to retreat,
but,
Pursue!
The wolf soldiers were excited. They ran with all their strength and even chased them out of the city gate.
Mrs. Daxi also rushed forward on her horse.
When passing the city gate, Meng Gong on the tower above shouted in panic:
"Madam, don't chase after the poor enemy. Chase out, don’t chase out Go!”
Mrs. Da Xi raised her head and glanced at Meng Gong above, with a disdainful smile on her lips:
“Gan people are afraid of Yan people like tigers, but in her opinion:
Yan people,
It’s nothing more than that! "(End of this chapter)
