Chapter 1222: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Twelve) Cutting Off One of His Fingers

Guli's main target from the beginning was Jiang Zhen's central cavalry. To defeat Jiang Fanglin, Guli did not expand the victory, but directly attacked Ke Wen who came to rescue. When Jiang Zhen got the news, he must be shocked and angry, and he would rescue Ke Wen without thinking too much. It was very simple. Any single one of the four Qin cavalry would be at a disadvantage if they met them, and Agu Huai'en's cavalry was the main force that ambushed Jiang Zhen halfway.

Guli was sure that Agu Huai'en would be happy to participate in this ambush, because defeating the main force of Jiang's central cavalry was a great achievement. Since joining the Han army, this guy's biggest thought was to make a contribution, and a greater contribution.

Moreover, Agu Huai'en was a sinister enough guy. Guli might look down on him in a head-on battle, but Agu Huai'en was definitely an expert in this kind of work.

&Pig&Pig&Island&Novel {www}.{zhuzhu}{}.{}    Agu Huai'en was indeed insidious. On the road that Jiang Zhen had to pass, he used iron wire to lay a large area of ​​trip wires in the snow. This specially treated iron wire was only half the thickness of civilian wires, but it was very tough. Not to mention at night, even in the daytime, it was difficult to distinguish it at a glance.

Jiang Zhen's cavalry was caught off guard and immediately fell into the trap. The cavalry in front of them fell and the rear team could only spur their horses to avoid them. However, Agu Huai'en also laid this kind of trap a little further away on both sides.

When Jiang Zhen's cavalry was in chaos, Agu Huai'en's 5,000 Donghu cavalry division cavalry had already rushed up with shouts.

There was no way forward. This kind of tripwire was different from the others. It would not lose its function after tripping a group of people. The iron wire deeply embedded in the ground by the iron rod was like cutting tofu with a steel knife when facing the high-speed galloping warhorse. It easily cut off the horse's hoof, injured the horse, and messed up the formation, but it was still here.

Jiang Zhen's cavalry, who didn't know what was going on, subconsciously thought that this kind of tripwire was just a one-shot deal. When the front team fell and the rear team attacked, they immediately tried to continue to speed up and move forward, widen the gap between them and the enemy, and then return to attack.

The reaction of the Qin cavalry was not slow, but it was this quick reaction that cost them their lives at this time. The cavalry who moved forward continued to fall and fell beside their previous companions.

The chaotic cavalry had no speed and no gap. The Agu Huai'en troops, who were galloping behind them, would never miss this opportunity to hit the enemy hard. Starting from nearly 200 steps, some soldiers with amazing arm strength began to shoot arrows at the Qin army. When they reached 150 steps, arrows were already raining down.

For a moment, people and horses fell down, and in an instant, the Qin army had suffered heavy losses.

The Donghu cavalry division was divided into three groups, circling around the Qin army like a revolving lantern. The art of running and shooting was fully utilized by them at this time.

Jiang Zhen quickly recovered from the initial panic. As a general, he now understood that he had fallen into the enemy's plan of shaking the tiger with a knock on the mountain. The enemy's target was probably him from the beginning.

"Throw away all the torches, extinguish the torches!" He ordered loudly, and the torches held by the Qin army made them conspicuous targets.

Torches were quickly pressed into the snow, and in a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were completely dark. Both sides were trapped in a dark situation.

Jiang Zhen's reaction saved his life and that of his troops. The torches went out, and Jiang Zhen led his troops to launch a counterattack. In the dark, it was difficult for both sides to distinguish between the enemy and us, unless they were close to each other. Jiang Zhen seized this rare opportunity and led most of the Qin cavalry to break through the heavy encirclement of Agu Huai'en.

This battle took a shorter time than Guli's attack on Jiang Fanglin, but the losses caused were far greater than those of Jiang Fanglin's troops. When the day came late, Jiang Zhen, Jiang Fanglin, Ke Wen and others joined the left army. The two sides looked at each other and wanted to cry but had no tears. Jiang Fanglin was the first to be attacked, but the losses were far less than he estimated. After dawn, he gathered the defeated soldiers, and there were more than 3,000 defeated soldiers and Chongsu people who found them back. The second was Ke Wen. He fought a head-on battle with Guli, and after losing hundreds of cavalry, he also got rid of the opponent's pursuit. Guli did not pursue him and let him go. It was Jiang Zhen, the commander of the central army, who suffered the most serious losses in a battle with Agu Huai'en. Half of the 6,000 cavalrymen were lost.

Jiang Zhen's face was as pale as the snow on the ground. Looking at his frightened subordinates, he said sadly: "Retreat. In the short term, we are not able to fight the opponent again." In the battle last night, it was not only the manpower that was lost, but also their three camps. All the supplies were lost. It was absolutely difficult to support the current manpower with only the supplies of the left army. "There are still battles to fight, and we still have a chance to meet."

When retreating, Jiang Zhen looked back at the place where he was humiliated yesterday, and said fiercely in his heart.

"See you in Changping."

Jiang Zhen's camp has now become the spoils of Guli and Agu Huai'en, but except for some food, the other things are not worth their attention. They set fire to it and burned them all. They don't want to carry these burdens, but they don't want to leave them to the Qin people.

The blazing fire reflected the faces of more than a thousand captured Qin soldiers. Seeing these foreigners whose faces were very different from those of the Central Plains people, every Qin soldier was terrified.

In the battle with the Huns, they rarely left anyone alive. Now that they were in the hands of the enemy, could they still hope to survive?

"Kill them all!" Sure enough, a cold command came from behind the bronze mask.

"Wait a minute!" Aguhuai'en stretched out his hand to stop Duoji, who was about to execute the order. Seeing Gu Li's cold glance towards him, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. This crazy woman is indeed as legendary. , I have a deep hatred for the people of Qin.

"Master Gu, your Majesty is strictly prohibited from killing prisoners," he said.

"Do we have any prisoners here?" Gu Li said coldly. In her opinion, the Qin people are all beasts, so they must be killed.

Aguhuaien shook his head and said: "Master Gu, I don't care what you think. Since I'm here, you can't do this. Otherwise, if the king pursues you in the future, I won't be able to run away."

Gu Li sneered: "If you don't kill them, then you can escort them away. I won't accompany you."

"Commander Gu, today is different from the past. It is not the time when you were on the prairie. You are not allowed to kill prisoners. This is stipulated in military law. And if you really want to do this, the Great Council can turn you over. , don’t forget that your man is also a high councilor. If you do this, he will be harmed. At that time, even if the king wants to protect you, he will not be able to speak. If you still want to stay on the battlefield to collect debts from the Qin people , then you must first ensure that you stay in the army. I bet that if you do this, the king will definitely strip you of your military uniform. We want to defeat Qin, not to destroy the Qin people. Besides, even if I ask you to kill me, can you finish it?"

Guli was silent for a moment, then turned to Dorje, "Dorji, since Master Agu said so, let's spare their lives, but we can't take them away, nor can we put them back. As soon as they turn around and pick up their weapons, they will be ours again." Enemies, please pass on the order. I will cut off the thumbs of these more than a thousand Qin troops and leave them to fend for themselves."

After leaving these words, Gu Li walked away. Agu Huaien was stunned for a long time, shook his head and said: "The method is a good method, but it is also a bit vicious. These people are considered useless."

Without their right thumb, these people can no longer hold weapons, and can no longer become soldiers. Naturally, they can no longer appear on the battlefield as their enemies.

The two Han cavalry gathered together and ran towards the end of the snowy field. This battle completely chilled the courage of the Qin cavalry. In a short period of time, it was impossible for this cavalry to appear on the battlefield again. For It is of great significance in terms of the logistical baggage being transported from the rear.

In turn, they posed a major threat to the Qin army that was attacking Changping. Lu Chao had to have an eye on the back of his head at all times to be wary of the sudden appearance of their cavalry.

Behind them, thousands of Qin soldiers were left shouting for help. Their right thumbs were falling to the ground bloody. Not only could they not hold weapons, they would even have trouble holding hoe handles.

But compared to those companions who had laid down in the snow and turned into cold corpses, maybe they were lucky.

In Changping City, Gao Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled after receiving the good news. Gu Li beat Jiang Zhen so hard that he retracted his head, making the last worry in his heart disappear. As long as there was no worries about his future and the logistics could be shipped on time, then Changping will be impregnable. He can safely deal with Lu Chao slowly here.

The Zhao army's resistance from Taiping River to Letian River was slowing down the Qin army's advance step by step. Changping, on the other hand, was changing at an alarming rate day by day. The outer positions were expanding and fortresses were taking shape. , as the protective wings of Changping City, these fortresses as heavy weapons platforms will play a huge role in the final war.

On the eighteenth day after Gao Yuan issued the combat order, the caravan of Daijun merchant Zhang Fatty and Zhang Hui delivered the first batch of supplies to Changping City. When Fatty Zhang saw the banner of the Han Dynasty flying on Changping City, his legs went weak and he fell down from the carriage. If the companion beside the carriage hadn't stretched out his hand to drag him, he would have fallen down. Eight elements. In just eighteen days, this fat man shrank by almost a third, and he looked much stronger.

"Hahaha, I arrived before the time set by Commander Xu. This is a great achievement." Zhang Hui was dancing with joy. After completing this errand, his chamber of commerce can finally become the first-class chamber of commerce in Han Dynasty. , Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. A few years ago, I began to prepare for this day. Now, the pie finally fell on my head, and I lived up to my expectations and completely accepted him. Swallowed. (To be continued...)
