Horse on the World

Chapter 788 Spring and Autumn Brushwork
Zeng Chong, who fled desperately, didn't stop until evening to gather the rout troops, and the pursuers had disappeared. Although the weather was cold, Zeng Chong was still running sweating profusely, his body was steaming hot, his crotch His war horse was panting heavily in his nose, and it seemed that he would be useless after running for a while.

The opponent had already withdrawn, and Zeng Chong, who felt safe, relaxed, and suddenly felt pain all over his body, and his wet underwear was stuck to his body, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Gathering up the broken soldiers, Zeng Chong wanted to cry but had no tears. The 2000 elite soldiers who set off at the time had only gathered more than 3000 to less than [-] people, and some of them even lost their weapons and armor, standing shivering in the cold wind.

"Dingzhou Army, Dingzhou Army!" Zeng Chong murmured. This battle broke his courage. The two sides have equal strength, but the opponent's combat power is indeed a level stronger than his own. Zeng Chong does not think he is using troops. If he made a mistake, if he didn't join the final reserve team, he would definitely be pierced by the opponent.

"How can I explain it when I go back?" Zeng Chong thought in distress.

There was a sound of horseshoes in front of them, and Zeng Chong and the defeated soldiers, who had already become frightened, jumped up and grabbed their weapons nervously. Some soldiers even turned around and fled, showing no fighting spirit.

It wasn't until a large flag appeared in front of their eyes that Zeng Chong put his heart in his stomach. It was the outpost cavalry from the second wing of Fengli Battalion.

Seeing that the third wing, which had set out ahead of schedule, was beaten so badly that it was almost defeated, the dozen or so scouts were stunned. They greeted Zeng Chong in a hurry, and then galloped back to report the news.

"Stand up, stand up, cheer me up!" Zeng Chong yelled at the soldiers who were lying or sitting on the ground, "Stand up, damn it, where is your armor, where is your knife, where is your weapon What about it?" The riding whip in Zeng Chong's hand hit the dejected soldiers thoughtlessly.

When it was completely dark, a fire dragon appeared in front of it, and the second wing of Fengliying finally rushed over.

He rode like flying, and rushed to Zeng Chong. The visitor flew off the horse, looked at Zeng Chong, and laughed loudly: "Old Zeng, isn't this the gesture of welcoming the general to Yazikou?"

The visitor had a beard on his face, knocked on his palm with a whip in his hand, looked at Zeng Chong and said with a smile.

"General Wang Zhenwang, you don't have to make fun of me, I have suffered a big loss this time!"

"Why, you accidentally fell into an ambush. I think you have lost a lot. Be careful that the general skinned you. The general has never suffered such a loss since he became an army!" Wang Zhen smiled.

Zeng Chong shivered, Guo Quan seemed rough, but in fact he was very careful, and he had a very good face, whoever wanted to lose his face, the army stick hit him, so that the onlookers, even a small heart would be thumping Tom jumping wildly.This time I turned thousands of people in, it was indeed Feng Liying's biggest loss over the years.If Guo Quan turned his back on him, he would really be overwhelmed.

Of course Zeng Chong knew that in Zeng Yifan's and Zeng Shuai's mind, Guo Quan was much more important than himself. If Guo Quan really wanted to clean up himself, he really shouldn't expect Zeng Yifan to save him.

"Old Wang, you have to save me this time. Otherwise, the ass will be messed up by General Guo!" Zeng Chong's face turned pale.

Wang Zhen spread his hands, "I can't help you with such a big defeat, and no one dares to hide it. If General Guo knows the truth, it will cost your head. Besides, as soon as I receive the military report, I will report back immediately. It’s for General Guo. You have messed up all of General Guo’s arrangements in this big defeat. Can General Guo not be annoyed? General Guo has already rushed over in person, Lao Zeng, this time you can ask for blessings !"

Zeng stepped back anxiously, watching Wang Zhen command the troops to set up camp. During this time, the second wing had already arrived.After watching for a while, I finally couldn't hold back anymore, and pulled Wang Zhen aside: "Old Wang, you have to do me a favor."

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Look at my soldiers, they are in such a mess, if General Guo sees it, it will add fuel to the fire, help me, give me some armor and weapons, at least let these bastards look more energetic." Zeng Pleadingly.

Wang Zhen thought for a moment, "That's fine, but it's agreed in advance. When this pass passes, your supplies will arrive. You have to add one-third and return it to me."

Zeng Chong's eyes widened, "Old Wang, you are taking advantage of the fire! I won't take you like this."

Wang Zhen smiled and said: "Old Zeng, you are Marshal Zeng's cousin, it is always better than us to find Marshal Zeng for supplies, you, this time, secretly go to Marshal Zeng for supplements, maybe General Guo will take some supplies." When you get the supplies, if you are happy, I will let you go lightly!"

Zeng Chong gritted his teeth, "Okay, add one-third to one-third, and you will arm my soldiers right now."

"Okay, if you say that, there's no problem, come here!" Wang Zhenxing shouted cheerfully.

Two hours later, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes on the road, Zeng Chong and Wang Zhen immediately stood up and went to the side of the road.

Guo Quanhei got off his horse and strode over.

"I've seen General Guo!" Zeng went up to meet him fearfully, knelt down on one knee, and made a big salute.Guo Quan didn't even look at him, and said to Wang Zhen directly: "Your second wing, get up at the second watch to cook, set off at the third watch, and at the fifth watch, I want to hear the sound of the duck's mouth slamming."

"Yes, General Guo!" Wang Zhen said loudly. "General Guo, go to my camp and rest for a while. It will take some time for the Chinese army to come up!"

Guo Quan walked away, "Well, at dawn, the first wing and my central army arrived here. The Dingzhou army fought during the day, and they will definitely take precautions against us attacking the camp at night. We will wait until dawn." At that time, the opponent's defense must be relaxed, and he will be caught off guard, and I will take the duck's mouth in one fell swoop, so don't be ashamed anymore."

Zeng Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't get up, nor did he continue to kneel. He couldn't help being in a dilemma, and Wang Zhen, who was chasing Guo Quan, made a gesture with the back of his hand. Zeng Chong then got up, and followed closely up.

Wang Zhen seized the time to arrange the corresponding affairs, Guo Quan was in Wang Zhen's tent, staring at the map of the Yazikou area, looking at it again and again, grabbing a charcoal pencil to smear on the map from time to time, Zeng Chong shrank in the From the corner of the tent, he looked at Guo Quan uneasily. Based on his experience, the more Guo Quan kept quiet and ignored himself, the more he would have an attack after a while.

At the fourth watch, Wang Zhen lifted the curtain and entered, "General Guo, our troops are ready."

Guo Quan raised his head, "Okay, let's attack!"

"Yes!" Wang Zhen was about to leave, but Guo Quan continued: "If you can't hold the mouth of the duck, you don't have to come back. You wiped your neck there and asked your guards to bring your head back to me." That's it."

Hearing these murderous words, Zeng on one side shivered furiously.

"Guo, Guo, General Guo, I, I will take my subordinates to help General Wang!" He summoned up his courage, and if he cooperated with Wang Zhen to defeat the duck mouth, he would still have a little credit!
Guo Quan gave him a sideways glance, "Stay still, your defeated generals can still fight, go and add to the chaos!"

Wang Zhen stuck out his tongue at Zeng Chong, turned around and left the tent. After a while, there were hurried footsteps outside, obviously the army had already moved out.

"Sleep!" Guo Quan strode to the camp bed, fell asleep, and snored loudly for a moment, but poor Zeng Chong stood in the tent and dared not leave, so he could only look for it wronged Sitting down in a chair, if Guo Quan woke up and couldn't find anyone else, he might become even more angry.

On the [-]th day, Zeng Chong, who was extremely tired, finally lost his mind. He suddenly heard movement in the tent. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Guo Quan standing up energetically and striding out.

Under the night sky, the flames from Yazikou shot up into the sky, turning half of the sky red.

"It's started, it's started!" Zeng Chong shouted and jumped.

Guo Quan glanced at him coldly, "It's five o'clock, of course it's starting."

"We will definitely win, we will definitely win, these Dingzhou bastards must never have imagined that we will launch an attack at this time." Zeng Chong said excitedly.

Guo Quan snorted, "Wang Zhen won the battle and took the duck's mouth, so it's easy to talk, otherwise, you, hum!" Guo Quan snorted coldly, turned and entered the tent.

After chewing Guo Quan's words for a while, Zeng Chong couldn't help being overjoyed. Doesn't the meaning of these words mean that if Wang Zhen wins, he won't lose himself?
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, I'll leave it all to you!" Zeng Chong clasped his hands together and bowed reverently in the direction of the duck's mouth.

When the sky was bright, the first wing of Fengli Battalion and Guo Quan's central army rushed over, and the whole army immediately joined up and marched towards Yazikou.

At noon, the whole army appeared at Yazikou.The fire in the original Dingzhou military camp had not yet burned out, and thick smoke was rising into the sky. Above the ruins, soldiers from the second wing of the Fengli camp were raising their arms and shouting. Seeing this situation, Guo Quan could not help but smile. "Wang Zhen is doing great! I didn't lose my face."

Zeng Chong immediately lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye. Wang Zhen is a good guy, so he will naturally be that shameless.

On the mouth of the duck, a group of cavalry came galloping, and the leader was Wang Zhen, the second wing commander.When he came to the front, the armor was covered with blood, and there were several bloody cuts on his face, which he didn't have time to deal with, and the bloody look was really scary.

"General Guo, luckily he didn't disgrace his life." Wang Zhen was full of excitement, "The duck's mouth has been taken."

"How many enemies were wiped out?" Guo Quan asked excitedly.

Wang Zhenyi stood up, "General, we caught him by surprise and killed nearly a thousand people on the spot, and the rest fled in the dark."

"Okay, let's set up wine, I want to celebrate your achievements at the mouth of the duck!" Guo Quan laughed.

On the ruins of the Yazikou military stronghold, a wine table was set up, and soon, the cooks in the army prepared more than a dozen dishes. , Ji Tong, the middle officer, and Zeng Chong, the defeated general, accompanied him in the last seat.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was in a good mood, and Wang Zhen even spittled and talked about how the second wing fought bravely, defeated the enemy, defeated Dingzhou, and captured the duck's mouth in one fell swoop, the more excited he was, Zeng Chong's head drooped more and more, and he could only drink bitter wine glass by glass.

"Middle officer, tell me the good news to Commander Zeng that our army won the duck mouth and won the first battle!" Guo Quan raised his neck and drank a large amount of wine, wiping the drops from his beard. Yazikou, fought hard for days, lost more than half of the troops, and still fought hard until late at night. The second wing of our reinforcements arrived, joined the first wing, and captured Yazikou in one fell swoop, wiped out thousands of enemies, and the enemy's troops The loss was heavy, and we fled in embarrassment. Our department is rectifying the troops and preparing to attack Xiabaoping."

"Ah!" Hearing the military report dictated by Guo Quan, all the generals were dumbfounded and stared blankly at Guo Quan, especially Zeng Chong, who was pouring bitter wine into his mouth. , A glass of wine was poured into the neck of the collar.
