Chapter 210 No.20 Scene Eight

In the second year of Zhaoxi, the fourth day of June.At noon, Fu Zaiyin successively counted out [-] elite soldiers.

Although the warriors of Wei Liang are physically strong, they wear heavy armor and run at high speed. Although they have a temporary advantage, it is difficult for them to last long.So right now, the general with the short beard ordered the sergeants to remove their heavy steel helmets and armors, and put on leather armors that are less protective but much lighter. The first crossing of the dragon.

However, the troops were still changing their clothes when they saw a fast horse heading straight into the camp from north to south.A flag was planted behind the sergeant on horseback, and it was the vanguard battalion who was the first to explore the way.The expression on his face was even more flustered, as if something terrible had happened on the front line.

The shop soldier got off his horse, took a bowl of clear water from beside him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then raised his fists, knelt in front of Fu Zaiyin with a hoarse voice, and said:
"Frontier Battalion, Vanguard Battalion met the enemy at Longshoudu!"

"Could it be that the [-]th Wuwei Army in Yu's capital was dispatched in advance?"

The general with a short beard suddenly became suspicious, and faintly realized that the matter might not be as simple as he had speculated, "Our army is still more than [-] miles away from Yujing City, even if the Suoyang Pass defenders last night with ink The crow is urgently reporting, and help is determined to be difficult to arrive!"

Hearing what the general said, the soldiers in front of him shook their heads again and again:
"What the Pioneer Battalion met was not the Yujing Wuwei, but hundreds of heavy cavalry in black armor. It's just that no flags were hoisted in the opponent's formation, and it looked a bit like the Xuanjia army of Ye Kingdom!"

"How could the Ye Kingdom's army appear here? They finally bowed their heads to Gao Li?!"

Before Fu Zaiyin could continue to question, Luqiu Borong's voice suddenly sounded behind him.The soldiers on both sides bowed to salute him one after another, making way for him.

The heroine has a serious expression on her face.Because she knew in her heart that even though Ye Kingdom's strength is not as good as before, it is absolutely impossible for its boat master to appear between herself and Yu Jing for no reason.If the news of sending troops to the north had been exposed in advance, so that Gao Li had made preparations earlier, perhaps what awaited him and the Liang army ahead would not only be the hard-to-handle Ye Kingdom, but a powerful coalition of princes !

Fu Zaiyin quickly guessed what the woman was thinking, but he waved his hand to signal the other party not to worry too much:
"Don't worry, my lord. Although the appearance of the Xuanjia army here is unexpected, the reason is worth investigating. If it is really ordered by Gao Li to defend the capital and prevent me from advancing, why doesn't it fly its own sea falcon flag in the formation? ?!"

After listening to the general's comfort, Luqiu Borong relaxed his frown a little bit, but still couldn't relax completely, and continued to ask nervously:
"Is the other party coming from the sea? Who is leading the army, and how many people are there?"

Pu Bing cupped his hands and continued to play: "The Pioneer Battalion met only about two hundred people. Before the two sides confronted each other, they quickly escaped into the Longshou Ferry. I saw several sea-going ships moored in the ferry, but I don't know yet. What is the strength of the troops? The generals of the Pioneer Battalion did not dare to rush forward again, so they had to send their subordinates to report first."

The mistress then turned her head and glanced at Fu Zaiyin beside her, but for a moment she didn't know how to make a decision.However, in a blink of an eye, another shop soldier galloped to the front of the tent, bringing more news from the front line:
"Urgent report! The scouts have found out that the Xuanjia Army has only a thousand people, and they should have just landed last night. Now they have retreated to Longshoudu to defend, and they are timid and refuse to go out."

"Where's the Tuenmen guard who was on duty in Longshoudu?" the general with the short beard interrupted and asked.

"Except for the Xuanjia army and ships at the ferry, there are no other defenders!"

"Only a few thousand people? What are they trying to do?"

Listening to Pu Bing's words, Luqiu Borong pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand, "But it's okay! Pass down the military order of the widow, and order the Vanguard Battalion to attack Longshoudu immediately, and the reinforcements will arrive soon!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Longshou Ferry has been guarded by Tuen Mun Guards all year round, and it is absolutely impossible to withdraw at this juncture. From this point of view, if the troops in front are really Ye Kingdom's troops, it is even more unlikely that they have been subdued by Gao Li. If we attack rashly, I am afraid that we will fall into a fierce battle and be delayed here, which will delay the big event."

"Fu Aiqing don't want to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Before that, I withdrew nearly half of the soldiers from Yugu Lake and returned to Jingshu. I let go of Qi's Li Zi who had just ascended the throne. I didn't expect him to be here now." But he still sent it forward by himself, how could he give way again and again!"

But Luqiu Borong refused to listen to his persuasion, "Thousands of people in a district, even if they are three-headed and six-armed, how can they stop my elite soldiers? No matter what the reason is today, no matter whether it is the army of Ye Kingdom or which country, dare to stop our army Anyone who invades Yujing is my enemy of Wei Liang, and we must not stay!"

Just as the soldiers of Guan Ning were aggressively attacking the troops of the country Ye, who had penetrated deep into the lone army, [-] troops organized by the military guards of the capital also filed out from the Chiwu Gate of Yujing, rushing to Longshoudu as the vanguard of sniping.

This team was improvised by mobilizing the military guards who were on duty in the city within just half an hour.And the general who led the army was precisely Zhu Ren who had just escaped from Suoyang Pass.

Right now, his order is to rush to the ferry to set up defenses before the Wei Liang army, do everything possible to delay the opponent's offensive, and wait for support.And the meaning of Gao Li ordering him to be a pioneer again couldn't be more obvious——

If he can win today, he will no longer be held accountable for his cowardice of abandoning the battle and fleeing.However, fighting tens of thousands of Guanning soldiers with [-] vanguards is tantamount to fighting a cart with arms.Once defeated, I am afraid that he will die and return to Yongyang Palace to return to life.

Although Zhu Ren was extremely reluctant to go to war again, he could not avoid death even if he advanced or retreated. Compared with being sent to prison immediately and being beheaded for public display on the charge of cowardice, it is better to go to the battlefield to gain a chance of survival.

However, he had just arrived at Longshoudu, and he realized that his wishful thinking was still too good.Originally, he thought that if he could get the kind hospitality of the [-] Tuen Mun guards guarding the ferry, at least he could have a good meal with wine and meat before the battle, and he would be a dead ghost if he was not good enough.Unexpectedly, the army marched only [-] steps away from the ferry, but they couldn't even see half of the people who came to greet them.

Zhu Li had heard for a long time that the guard here likes to drink and gamble, and often sleeps until noon, so he immediately rode his horse and went up, shouting at the top of his voice.Unexpectedly, instead of not responding, a feathered arrow suddenly shot out from behind the corner of a courtyard wall.

Zhu Ren reacted quickly, and immediately pulled his feet out of the stirrups, then shrank back, using the old horse under his crotch as a shield, and took the arrow abruptly.

The war horse screamed and fell to the ground, almost crushing its owner.Its four hooves were weakly half-hanging in the air, and after pedaling for a while, they gradually stopped moving.Zhu Ren stuck his facial features and limbs firmly to the ground, he didn't dare to look up, let alone get up and run away.It wasn't until hundreds of cavalry guards behind him raised their shields and stepped forward that they got up in embarrassment and retreated back into the formation.

"Did you see it clearly just now? Is the person in the ferry the Wei Liang army?"

Zhu Ren, who scratched his forehead and the tip of his nose, asked the lieutenant in shock while accepting the medical officer's application of wound medicine.Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head:
"Probably not. The guard and Liang army are all silver armor and silver helmets, but the archery man just now is wearing black black armor. He seems to be a boatman from Ye Kingdom, but the shape of the armor is different, and there is no banner. Or maybe some other country."

"Isn't Wei Liang the one who rebelled? Why did some other country pop up out of nowhere?"

Zhu Li was stunned at first, and then became furious, "There are not many people hidden in this ferry, I must take them down today! Otherwise, when Guan Ning's soldiers arrive, we are not yet ready to defend against the enemy. You, me, or With all these brothers, not a single one will survive!"

At the same time, Qi Ziyin, who was hiding at the ferry, together with a thousand warriors from Ye Kingdom, could not think of any countermeasures to deal with the enemies coming from the front and back.What made the young people even more desperate was that their own numbers had no advantage in the slightest, whether it was against Yu Jing Wuwei or Guan Ning Wuwei.

He originally planned that after he disguised himself and the sergeants, he could take advantage of Gao Li's confrontation with Luqiu Borong to sneak into Yujing City to save people.However, the rapidly changing situation of the battle put him in a dilemma.Instead, the soldiers around him who were also in desperate situation comforted him:

"My lord, we were all sheltered by General Baili before, but we drifted overseas with Zhuo Xiukuo for many years, and we were lucky enough to meet you before we were able to return to our homeland and reunite with our parents and relatives. Today we can fight side by side with the lord again , It’s all our honor! To ride the wind and waves, to fly the falcon!”

All the people shouted out the resounding slogan of Master Ye's boat.Thousands of people shouted, but the momentum was overwhelming and deafening!
The young man with the silver mask didn't answer the question, but got up and looked at the Yujing military guards who were waiting in full force on the west side of the ferry, and sighed - the opponent has already formed an array outside the ferry, after all, they are the imperial guards guarding Gyeonggi , Naturally, the military appearance is strict and the armor is like a mirror.

Under Zhu Ren's order, the drums of marching in formation sounded over Longshoudu.Zhechong guards holding half-man-high long shields lined up in front of the formation, marching forward with the beat of drums, like an impenetrable wall.

The main force of the Chinese army, composed of Wuweiwei, raised their spears horizontally and put them on the shoulders of the comrades in front, forming a deadly steel thorn behind the shield wall.At the same time, the Xiao cavalry guards, who are good at riding and fighting, guard the two wings of the wedge-shaped central army, maneuvering flexibly.Even if the Ye army planned to break out from the side, it was already impossible.

However, just when Qi Ziyin finally made up his mind to lead the crowd to fight to the death with the enemy, he suddenly heard the drumbeat in the opponent's formation become more hurried.The wedge formation that was originally aimed directly at Ye's army and was used for an all-out attack quickly changed direction and changed into a tortoise shell formation for defending against the enemy.

The young Lord Ye and the thousand soldiers under his command immediately realized that something had changed, and turned their heads to look at the vast plain east of the ferry.On the other side of the horizon, a line of long lances lined up like a forest of iron and steel rose slowly from bottom to top.What followed was a huge army formation composed of silver armor and helmets that reflected the dazzling light of the sun.The banners held high in the formation were fluttering in the wind, and the gold embroidered on the flags seemed to be alive. They showed their teeth and claws, showing off their might. It was the pioneer of Wei Liang who also planned to take the ferry first!

The drumbeat that had been echoing over the ferry suddenly stopped without warning.On the high ground of the imperial capital covered by black soil, the armies of the east and west stopped within less than a mile of each other. Even the soldiers standing in the first row could clearly see the scars on the faces of the soldiers in front of them. With animal head mask.

All of a sudden, the rapid drumming started again, and the battle roars of the two armies broke out at the same time, resounding through the sky, and they were ready to attack with all their strength.

Now, whether it is Yu Weiliang's soldier or Yu Yujing's military guard, there is no longer a chance to relax and wait for work.When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the two sides are indistinguishable in terms of numbers, armaments, momentum, and military spirit. The only way to win is to kill the enemy forward!
Qi Ziyin, who had nowhere to go, seemed to see new hope with his soldiers.Taking advantage of the fact that the opposing sides had no time to take care of the thousands of soldiers in the ferry, they quickly withdrew their defenses, intending to bypass the battlefield through the dense forest stretching from the foot of Tongyan Mountain on the shore, and continue to advance towards Yujing.

But luck is unparalleled, and misfortune never comes singly.As soon as the group entered the forest, before they could travel far, they bumped into a cavalry army of nearly ten thousand people.

The cavalry army in front of them also seemed to have sneaked here along the north bank of Yushui yesterday under the cover of the rainy night, and they are now setting up camp in the forest.As soon as he met, Qi Ziyin thought quickly in his mind, but the other party did not show any banners like himself, and the helmet and long tassel on his body were red like fire that he had never seen before.

The young man with the silver mask immediately lowered his voice, wanting to order the thousands of people behind him to turn around.However, the distance between the two sides is too close at this time, how can they avoid it?

The cavalry sentry with red armor and red tassels seemed not to have expected that someone would sneak into the woods without a sound, and immediately shouted a warning, but what they yelled was a foreign language that Qi Ziyin couldn't understand.

"These people are—Shodi people?!"

The young king's heart trembled, he only said that his luck was too bad today, he was in danger everywhere, and he was punished every step of the way.He also knew that continuing to avoid the battle would only make him more passive, so he had no choice but to pull out his teeth from his waist and shouted at the soldiers under his command:

"Array, meet the enemy!"
