Chapter 684: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (6)

It has been some time since Li Mingjun moved to Nanzhang, but Qin Lei could not hold on, so he was not in a hurry to attack. As long as the coach Zhao Qi captured Xiling, Nanzhang would become a sourceless water and a tree without roots, which would not be a problem. In the past two days, he had mobilized his troops and generals to help Hu Liang maintain food routes and ensure that the logistics of the army besieging Xiling was safe. , with you all the way!

It is strange to say that as soon as his army came out in the past few days, the soldiers and civilians of Daijun who had been attacking the grain road suddenly disappeared. Li Mingjun had been in the army for half his life, and he could smell some unusual smells, but What exactly was this uneasiness was, but he couldn't find out the root of it, so he couldn't help but become more vigilant.

It wasn't until the sentry came to report that Qin Lei from Nanzhang suddenly came out in full force and actually launched an attack on his army that he seemed to realize. It seemed that the news of Xiling's emergency had reached Nanzhang, and Qin Lei was going to attack again. I couldn't sit still anymore, so I had to take the initiative.

Those rebellious people who attacked the grain road probably also knew that Xiling City was about to be lost, so they restrained their actions and thought of becoming obedient people of Zhao.

"It's a little too late to think of this now!" Li Mingjun snorted: "Wait until after the war, and then come back to settle accounts in the autumn. Qin Lei, a bunch of rabble, dare to come and take my ideas. They don't know whether to live or die. They came at the right time. ”

Feeling determined, Li Mingjun immediately beat the drum, raised the tent, and gathered the generals.

"Immediately send an order to the men and horses who are helping to maintain the two roads outside to gather towards Nanzhang. During the fierce battle between our Chinese army headquarters and the Nanzhang army, they inserted themselves from both sides and defeated the enemy."

"The Chinese army is gathering. I will go to the front line in person and defeat Qin Lei in one fell swoop."

Drums rumbled, horns blew, and thousands of Zhao troops poured out from the camp. Not long after they formed their formation, they saw large groups of Nanzhang troops emerging from the distance in waves not far ahead.

Zhao General Wu Quan has been very unhappy these days. On Li Mingjun's order, he led his 2,000 troops to assist Hu Liang in maintaining the grain road from Hefeng to Nanzhang. He ran around in the ice and snow every day, but he couldn't even see the rebels. Not even a hair was caught, so there was no credit for it, but the whole team was very tired. Compared to the well-equipped camp, life outside was naturally miserable, and they could only eat cold food every day. The hard wowotou is considered good if it can be used to set up firewood and boil some snow water. The miserable soldiers also complained. It wasn't until he finally received Li Mingjun's order to rush to Nanzhang that he breathed a sigh of relief. The old turtle Qin Lei who was huddled in Nanzhang finally couldn't help but poked his head out, knocked off his protruding head, and took down Nanzhang, their hard days are finally over.

Wu Quan repeatedly ordered the troops to rush on their way. Wu Quan just wanted to end this war that made him very angry as soon as possible. Finish it as soon as possible. After the fight, maybe he could rush home and spend time with his family. A happy new year.

From Wu Quan's point of view, there is no suspense in this battle. The biggest headache in the past was that the Nanzhang soldiers stayed behind closed doors.

As for attacking fortress, no matter what kind of army it is, it is a headache. The battle at Hefeng is enough to wake people up, but since Qin Lei led his troops out in full force, the outcome of this battle is already doomed.

Like general Li Mingjun, Wu Quan believed that Qin Lei's sudden change of strategy must be because coach Zhao Qi had made breakthrough progress in the attack on Xiling City, forcing Qin Lei to take risks, hoping for a miracle. After defeating the main force, you can return to Xiling to aid.

"Idiots!" Wu Quan snorted, looked at the white steam rising in front of his eyes, and spat hard, "This weather is too damn cold."

Suddenly, there were commotions from the front army. Looking from the side of the central army, it turned out to be a mess. Wu Quan couldn't help but became furious. Just as he was about to get angry, there was the sound of horse hooves in front, and sentry horses flew towards him.

"General Wu, the former army encountered an ambush. The rebels dug pits on the road and buried bamboo sticks and other sharp weapons in the snow. These people also set up ambushes in the dense forests on both sides of the road and secretly fired cold arrows. The front army was unable to do anything for a while. Defend and hurt dozens of brothers."

"How many people?" Wu Quan was a little nervous.

"Not many, there should be only a few dozen people. Former military general Cai Dong has led a group of troops to pursue them. I will be with you all the way!" The sentry rider said with a relaxed expression, "It should be just an ordinary harassment."

Wu Quan was relieved when he heard that there were only a few dozen people. It seemed that the rebels were impatient and wanted to prevent him from meeting at Nanzhang. This also showed from another aspect that the Nanzhang battle should have already begun.

"Don't worry about these harassments. After Cai Dong comes back, let him be careful and send troops to clean the two wings to clear the way for the main force to pass quickly." Wu Quan said.

"Yes!" The sentry knight quickly turned and left.

At first, Wu Quan did not take this small-scale child's play attack seriously, but as he went on, the density of such attacks began to increase significantly, and the number of people gradually increased. From the first few dozen people, There were more than a hundred people in the middle, and at the end, a large-scale attack team of hundreds of people appeared. Although the opponents had simple weapons and looked like they were just local villagers, they dug holes to make traps and set up some Small hunting traps and hidden arrow shooting from time to time caused more and more difficulties to Wu Quan. Finally, the former military general Cai Dong was ambushed during a pursuit and fled back in embarrassment, leaving dozens of lives behind. Wu Quan finally became furious and came to the front army in person. After being attacked again, he finally caught the attacker's tail. Wu Quan, who was chasing after him, was determined to wipe out all the insurgents. The size of the rioters ranges from two to three hundred people, and they should be the main force of the rioters who create difficulties for themselves on this road.

"Catch them and kill them all!" Wu Quan drew his knife and shouted angrily. At this time, there were about 500 Zhao soldiers following him. These soldiers were also annoyed by these endless attacks. , holding back his energy and chasing after him, seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, the figure of the other party that had been running suddenly stopped. In Wu Quan's somewhat surprised eyes, the mob that was in a mess just now, and was defeated, in the blink of an eye. In a short time, they gathered into a small square formation. Wu Quan suddenly felt horrified by the speed of the other party's actions. At least during such a run, he thought to himself that his army would never be able to assemble so quickly and effectively.

The two to three hundred people who had gathered lifted up their clothes and pulled out something dark. The first and second rows quickly squatted down. When Wu Quan saw what they had in their hands, he was only a hundred steps away from them.

"Crossbow at arm's length!" Wu Quan exclaimed. Following his cry, a strange scream suddenly sounded. Hundreds of crossbow arrows came towards him at an alarming speed. Wu Quan jerked his war horse, and the war horse neighed. Amidst the sound, the human beings rose up, and the sound of swooping was endless. His horse was hit by countless arrows, and fell suddenly with a whine. Wu Quan jumped off the horse with agility, looked around, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. In just this round of volley, dozens of his subordinates fell.

"Kill them, don't let them shoot the second round!" As soon as he jumped off the horse, Wu Quan was already running forward. Behind him were all battle-hardened soldiers with rich experience. Without any hesitation, they stepped on the corpses of their companions, held out their spears, and rushed forward with shouts.

The second round of crossbow arrows was fired again. As expected, it was much sparser than the first round. This time the opponent's attack only knocked down a dozen people. The opponent also dropped his crossbow and drew the saber from his waist.

Wu Quan looked at the strong men across from him and thought about the black crossbow arrows. He already knew where the opponent's manpower came from.

"Conquering the Eastern Army!" He gritted his teeth, but the fear in his heart continued to increase.

The sudden sound of thunderous horse hooves made him feel as if he had fallen into the abyss. From the dense forest behind the Dongzheng Army, who were dressed as rioters, they rushed out like a wave of anger and lightning.

"Run away!" Wu Quan immediately turned around. The strength surged up from nowhere in his body, and he turned around wildly and ran towards the way he came. He immediately returned to the main force to assemble the troops and form a formation. Otherwise, a single attack from the opponent's cavalry would be enough. Defeat all his soldiers and horses.

There is no way human legs can outrun a war horse. Wu Quan only ran a few dozen steps before the sound of horse hooves in his ears was already pounding in his ears. The sound of fluttering arrows could not be heard, and he could hear screams and wails. The sound is endless.

There was a sound of wind behind his head. Wu Quan suddenly stopped, turned around, and faced the sword with all his strength. There was a loud bang, his wrist shook violently, and the sword flew out of his hand. A cold light flashed before his eyes. Wu Quan felt a chill on his neck. He He wiped it subconsciously, but saw that his hands were full of blood, and the cavalryman who had done it had already galloped forward without even looking at him.

Wu Quan fell heavily to the ground. In his last vision, he saw countless cavalry passing by his eyes and running towards his army not far away.

"It's over!"

This was his last consciousness, and then he fell into eternal darkness.

Wu Quan's troops were completely destroyed on the road to Nanzhang without even a splash.

"Clean the battlefield, count the wounded, evacuate the injured on the spot, and the rest will immediately set off with me to Nanzhang!"

After a series of orders were issued, the infantryman looked at Hengdao on one side, "Hengdao, Captain Bai, is it ready?"

Hengdao nodded vigorously, "Commander Bu, don't worry. Captain Bai and the remaining brothers have been working on this for the past few days. When the time comes, they will give Li Mingjun an unexpected surprise at the foot of Nanzhang City."

"Great!" The infantryman stretched out his hand to pluck the bow string, and he laughed amid the continuous buzzing, "If we take down Li Mingjun, Zhao Qi will be the best among them. We, maybe we can go back to celebrate the New Year!"

Bai Yucheng and the other special team members who were discussing among the two have been doing one thing these days, which is to mobilize the villagers from all over the country to massacre the city in Hefeng, and Hu Liang's food protection army to retaliate crazily. The people who were already resentful towards the Zhao court finally burst into anger. Just throwing a little spark into it was enough to ignite a fire that reached the sky. Countless villagers began to march towards Nanzhang from all directions, and the team grew stronger and stronger.P
