Horse on the World

Chapter 838 Go Home

At noon on March [-]th, Shiliwan.

The smoke bursts, the aroma is overflowing, hundreds of big pots are steaming, and the fragrance of rice porridge is blowing in the wind. A large number of southern soldiers poured in, cheering and crowding to the pot. They have been so hungry these days , In addition to wild vegetables, bark, and Guanyin soil in my stomach, I haven't seen rice grains for a long time.

More and more Confederate troops poured into Ten Mile Bay.

A few miles away, Liang Yi raised the long knife in his hand, and on the other side, Zhou Shuwen was doing the same.

"Attack!" Almost at the same time, two southern armies about five miles apart launched an attack at the same time, and the fully armed Zeng army rushed over shouting.

The southern army in Ten Mile Bay was in chaos first, the cauldron was overturned to the ground, and everyone turned around to look at the army rushing from a distance.

Kuang Yigui drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, life and death depend on one action. The enemy has food, kill them all, and rob them of food, so that we can go back to our hometown, kill!" He took the lead and rushed forward.

Behind him, a death squad composed of hundreds of school lieutenants raised their weapons high, followed Kuang Yigui, and greeted him wildly.

"Kill all the enemies and fight back to your hometown!"

First there was Kuang Yigui's shout, followed by hundreds of lieutenant officers acting as death squads, and then thousands of southern troops shouted, yes, the enemy has food, and they don't want to die here, not in The only way out here is to kill all the enemies in front of you and grab all the food from the other party, so that you can return to the south, return to your hometown, and see your relatives.

The tide of the southern army greeted the menacing Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen's troops.

The two armies immediately strangled together.

Liang Zhou was well fed, dressed warmly, and full of energy.The Southern Army was a mourning soldier. Although they were thin and thin, their emotions of going home were so strong, and their longing for their loved ones overwhelmed their hunger. In an instant, it became a Shura field.

In the White Horse Mountain Fortress, Guo Quan stood on the top of the fortress, holding a spear in his hand, and the sentry post came and went, and came and went, reporting to him the battlefield situation in Shiliwan.

"Didn't you see Hu Zequan's Chinese army banner?" Guo Quan asked.

"Report to the general, there is no Hu Zequan's banner of the Chinese army in Shiliwan." The whistle said loudly.

"Explore again!" Guo Quan ordered: "I believe that Hu Zequan is spitting out poisonous snake letters and staring at us at this time. Good guy, he threw out tens of thousands of troops to lure me, but he wants to take this opportunity to seize my white horse. Shan, hehe, I would like to see who can persevere to the end!"

"Yes, General!"

At this time, in Baimadu Fortress and Baimashan Fortress, more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Fengli Battalion were on standby, ready to attack at any time.

"Report!"

"speak!"

"Our sentry found Hu Zehui's Chinese troops in the manger ten miles away." A sentry was very happy.

"how many people?"

"About [-] troops! All of them are cavalry."

"Keep an eye on them, if there is any change, report back immediately!"

"As ordered!"

"General, let's do it, let's attack Hu Zequan's headquarters!" Ji Tong, Wang Zhen, and Zeng Chong all stepped forward to plead with Guo Quan.

Guo Quan shook his head, "Wait, wait, the opponent is cavalry, and our army is infantry. If our army takes the initiative to attack, we will fall into a passive position. At this time, we must be patient and see who can consume more energy than whom!"

"We have time and we can afford it. General Wang Yan should not be far away from here."

"General Guo, the enemy troops in Shiliwan are desperately fighting back. General Liang Yi and General Zhou Shuwen ask General Guo to send troops to help!" A sentry flying horse rushed over.

"Go back and tell the two generals that I am facing Hu Zequan's last 3 elite cavalry. I have no reinforcements for them. Tell them that if they have [-] horses and they can't deal with a group of hungry and skinny cavalry, then they will go to the army. It’s fine if I beat myself to death with a piece of tofu, I still think they are coming to support me, go, tell them, even if the troops are wiped out, the enemy in Shiliwan must be blocked.”

After a pause, he said again: "Go ahead and tell the two generals that at least they have to persist until dark."

At Ten Mile Bay, Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen were already in a bitter battle. They had nearly [-] soldiers, but their opponents were twice as many. The desperate counterattack launched by their opponents made them miserable. It was a fight that was thought to be easy to catch, but it was only now that I realized that my kick actually hit the iron plate.

The so-called mourning soldiers must win, the southern army is actually a group of mourning soldiers at this time, although Liang Zhou and his men will not be defeated now, seeing their direct line troops falling down in the fight, blood drips from their hearts.

Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen are not ordinary people. When they found that the opponent's tenacity was beyond their expectations, they gave up the original strategy by coincidence, but tried their best to realize the joining forces of the two armies, and concentrated all their strength. strength to fight with opponents.

"Old Liang, what does that fellow Guo Quan mean? If we continue to fight like this, we will lose all our money." Liang Yi said angrily. "It's a fucking pack of hungry wolves, there's a pack of starving guys out there."

Zhou Shuwen smiled wryly, "Brother Liang, we have no way of turning back. Even if we wipe out the troops, we have to win this battle. This is where we will settle down in the future. Let's fight. There is nothing to complain about. As long as we don't die, the army will have it." What's more, we need to support until dark, and Wang Yan's cavalry will come."

"Shrink the defense, as long as you block the opponent." Liang Yi said.

After getting off the manger, Hu Zequan was leaning on the stretcher, his face was very pale. Obviously, he underestimated Guo Quan on Baima Mountain. The troops of Shiliwan, Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen were killed and retreated step by step, and they were in danger. Take care, obviously, he is waiting for himself.

"General Hu, what should we do if the opponent doesn't move?" Shi Wanshan asked worriedly. "Our troops in Shiliwan are not as strong as our opponents. Right now, we are just trying our best to be brave. We will go all out, and then we will be exhausted. Although we have the upper hand now, Liang Zhou and his men will not retreat. After a long time, we will It's dangerous."

"Show yourself and head towards Quancheng!" Hu Zequan gritted his teeth.

"General!"

"The other party has already discovered our location. If we don't move, they won't move. But we are cavalry, we can maneuver quickly, show up, and pass through Baima Mountain swaggeringly. Let's see how Guo Quan reacts?" Hu Zequan said. "If he takes the initiative to attack the cavalry with foot, we will have the upper hand. If he still can't hold on, you can take two thousand cavalry to Shiliwan and defeat the Liang Zhou Division. I want to see that the Liang Zhou Division will collapse soon. , Will he come down the mountain!"

"I will understand at the end."

Five thousand cavalry from the Southern Army appeared in Guo Quan's field of vision and marched towards Baima Mountain.

Guo Quan moved, and the two fortresses of Baimadu and Baimashan walked out of the fortress in a neat formation, but they still kept a distance of several miles from Hu Ze, standing still.When the opponent advances, they advance accordingly. Once the opponent stops, they immediately stop and straighten up the ranks. They stick to the opponent like brown sugar, neither fighting nor retreating.But this distance is extremely dangerous, which puts Hu Zequan in a dilemma for a while, forcing him not to divide his troops. If Shi Wanshan takes away a part of the cavalry according to the previous plan, it is also a question of whether the remaining cavalry can block the opponent's impact. .

Stalemate, still stalemate.

The killing sounds at Ten Mile Bay still did not stop. Compared with that side, the confrontation at the foot of Baima Mountain seemed a bit strange.

As twilight gradually fell, Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen in Ten Mile Bay finally saw the dawn of victory. At this time, their armies had already lost about one-third, and the Southern Army lost more than them. Among them, but until now, the physical weakness of the southern army has finally begun to appear. Many soldiers are no longer able to charge with swords and guns, and their hands are sore and weak.

At this time, the gap in military strength between the two sides was actually greater than at the beginning of the war, and the southern army had a greater advantage in numbers, but compared to the beginning of the war, Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen gradually evened out the disadvantages at this time.

"Let's go!" Hu Zequan shouted.

"General, brothers from Shiliwan? If I leave, Guo Quan's entire staff will definitely join the battlefield in Shiliwan, and they will be finished!" Shi Wanshan said loudly.

"I can't care less!" Hu Zequan said, "Wan Shan, let's go!"

"General, General Hu, it's not good!" In the distance, a sentry came galloping in sweat, his face full of panic, which he couldn't hide.

"What happened?" Shi Wanshan shouted angrily.

"Cavalry, Changsheng Battalion, Changsheng Battalion cavalry is here!" Sentinel said out of tune, "It's less than ten miles away from us!"

Shi Wanshan's expression changed in shock, "Isn't the Changsheng Camp in Quancheng? Why did they appear here? Did they fly over?"

With a wow, Hu Zequan spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell limply on the stretcher.

"General!" Shi Wanshan was shocked, got off his horse, and helped Hu Zequan up, "General Hu, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Zequan looked at the twilight with absent-minded eyes again, "It turned out that it was premeditated, Guo Quan must have surrendered to Li Qing, so that he could lead the Dingzhou Changsheng Battalion to come from Quancheng, Wanshan, break through, go as far as you can How much, tell the brothers, disperse and break through, whether they can return to their hometown depends on their luck."

"General, we can still fight!" Shi Wanshan said painfully.

"It's useless. There is no other way to go except to die in vain. The Changsheng Battalion is the number one cavalry in the world and Li Qing's ace troop. What's more, our troop has no morale and physical strength. It is impossible to fight at all. Tell the brothers, whoever wants to run can run, and whoever wants to surrender can do as they like!"

"General!" Shi Wanshan burst into tears.

In the distance, the drums began to beat neatly, and the two large phalanxes of the Fengli Battalion began to advance slowly. Obviously, Guo Quan also got the news that the Changsheng Battalion had arrived.

Hu Zequan's eyes were loose, he was gasping for breath, blood was gushing from his mouth, and he pointed to the south with trembling hands. Shi Wanshan, who was full of tears, helped him sit up and faced the south.

"Go home!" With trembling lips, Hu Zehui uttered three words with difficulty, closed his eyes, and died suddenly.
