Chapter 856: Sunrise in the East (81)

Wei He now knew that the scouts he sent out did not get lost because they were unfamiliar with the place. They encountered this group of cavalry. Naturally, they were destined to die or not. But now was no longer the time to think about this issue. They turned over and kissed each other. He took a look at the chaotic camp and shouted: "Breakout, breakout!"

The infantrymen reined up their horses in the center of the entire camp and watched with cold eyes as their troops moved in and out of the enemy camp, driving groups of horses. The Eastern Expedition Army's surprise attack came too suddenly. The Qi army suddenly entered the camp completely unprepared. A considerable number of Qi soldiers did not even have time to mount their war horses. The Zhengdong Army drove these war horses and ran rampant in the camp. It is unknown how many soldiers were killed. Under the saber, they were bumped to death and trampled to death by their own horses.

Slowly draw the bow, but the arrows are released like lightning. With a continuous whoosh, the Qi army on the three horses fell off their horses with a clang. The infantry slowly pushed the horses forward, releasing arrows as they walked. The sound of arrows makes people fall from their horses

"The general's magical skills!" The cavalry guards surrounding him all praised him. They also carried bows behind them, but they did not have the magical skills of infantry. On such a chaotic battlefield, they were afraid of accidentally injuring their comrades. , dare not fire arrows easily. When the infantry were in Fufeng, they were forced by Gao Yuan to practice this shooting method. On the high-speed rotating hexahedron, they had to accurately hit the red side. For this reason, they did not know what to eat. How much suffering

But as much as you pay, there will be much reward. The blood and sweat shed back then were not wasted in the end, and today the infantry's archery skills are there. Even the Huns and Donghu people, who were based on riding and shooting, could not catch up.

"Drive them away, don't let them have a moment of respite, and kill them as supplements. Drive them first, open a channel for them to escape to Chima, where Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei will take care of them." While firing arrows, The infantrymen issued simple military orders. There are as many as 20,000 enemy riders. Although I have the upper hand at the moment, if the enemy comes to their senses, I will not be able to take much advantage. What the governor wants is a hearty victory. This is not a battle of attrition where one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred losses are suffered.

The torrential rain could not block the thunderous shouts of killing. Through the heavy rain curtain, it reached the head of Fufeng City several miles away. Luo Feng ignored the wind and rain outside and rushed out of the city tower. Although he could not see Anything from a distance, but he kept his eyes wide open. Trying hard to see something, more soldiers rushed out from the hiding cave, and the shouts of killing from the distance gradually became clearer. The battlefield is obviously moving towards Fufeng City.

"Get ready to fight!" Luo Feng shouted loudly

"The Eastern Army will be victorious!" On top of the city, the soldiers, who were facing the heavy rain, roared. The linoleum covering the crossbows to protect them from the rain was lifted, and the soldiers took out the finger-thick strings that were still warm from their arms. The rope was twisted up hard. With a creaking sound, the crossbow arrows, which were as thick as a child's arm, were strung onto the bowstring. The first row of soldiers stepped onto the city head with arm-stretched crossbows in hand. Place the crossbow arrow flat between the battlements and kneel down on one knee. Aiming at the bottom of the city, and behind him, another row of soldiers were quickly loading the crossbows on the other three crossbows in front of them.

Further back, rows of spear-wielding soldiers stood solemnly

On the top of the city, the sound of war drums rang out, and the beating of big drums woke up the sleeping Fu Feng City. The quiet Fu Feng City suddenly became noisy, and the doors of the people's houses were opened. The shops were opened, and countless people armed with weapons poured out and rushed towards the city.

When tens of thousands of people flocked to the city, the sound of drums above the city changed again. Along with the drums, there was the sound of bugles. Those retired veterans among the people were extremely excited about the sound of bugles. Familiar, suddenly hearing the familiar sound of military bugles, they stopped suddenly, raised their arms and shouted: "The general has an order, everyone stops and guards on the spot."

When Dong Haicao reorganized these people, he originally took the retired veterans as the leader. At this moment, when the military trumpet sounded, the veterans immediately recalled the days of prohibition and order, and reflexively issued orders according to the meaning of the military trumpet. Although the people behind them were a little messy There was chaos, but it finally stopped

Countless people gathered under the city wall, but they all looked up and stared at the top of the city.

The rain subsided slightly, and suddenly there was a sudden sound of horse hooves from the city. Luo Feng looked stern, and he tightened his grip on the saber, and pulled out the saber bit by bit. The soldiers around him turned their heads. Turning around and looking at Luo Feng, as long as Luo Feng's saber was unsheathed, raised and lowered, the rain of crossbow arrows in their hands would rain down on the city.

Luo Feng's hand did not pull out the sword for a long time, because of course he could hear the sound of horse hoofbeats. There were only dozens of horses near the city wall at most. Even if Wei He was arrogant, he would not send just a few dozen horses. Come and attack the city wall

Dozens of war horses emerged from the rain curtain in the distance and stopped at the foot of the city. Looking at the familiar uniforms of the cavalrymen under the city, Luo Feng was ecstatic. The steel knife that was half a foot out of its sheath made a choking sound and returned to the city. in sheath

"Listen clearly on the city, we are the cavalry under the infantry general. We are here to inform you on the general's order that the Qi army has been defeated by our army. Now the infantry general is leading his troops to pursue the enemy. All soldiers in the city do not need to attack and defend. Just go to Fufeng City!" The soldiers in the city shouted loudly, fearing that the people in the city could not hear clearly due to the heavy rain, so they repeated it several times.

Hearing the news, Luo Feng was really overjoyed. He rushed to the top of the city and shouted loudly: "I am Luo Feng, the officer of the Fufeng garrison. Are our troops back?"

"Of course I'm back. The 20,000 cavalrymen of Qi have now been driven into rabbits by us." The soldiers under the city proudly shouted: "You can just defend the city. I have to go kill the enemy. Take your leave!"

After saying these words, dozens of cavalrymen under the city turned their horses and once again rushed into the distance. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the rain curtain in the distance.

Luo Feng laughed loudly and turned around, waving his arms at all the soldiers above the city, "Our army is back, we won, we won, hahaha!"

On top of the city, all the soldiers jumped up, "We won the battle, our army is back."

In the blink of an eye, the head of Fufeng City, which had been waiting for a moment, turned into a sea of ​​joy.

"The Eastern Army will be victorious!" Luo Feng shouted loudly at the top of the city.

"Conquering the Eastern Army, we will be victorious!" All the soldiers in the city echoed in unison

"The Eastern Army will be victorious!" Below the city, under the leadership of the veterans, countless people roared and jumped wildly. The entire Fu Feng City was completely boiling at this moment.

"Come, brothers, sing a war song, let our warriors below my city cheer for you." At some point, Dong Haicao climbed up the tower covered in rain and mud, waved his hands, and shouted loudly: "I'm here for you to beat the drum." "To add to the fun"

He reached out and grabbed the drumstick of the soldier next to him, and struck it with a thud.

The long sword points directly to the northern territory;

The setting sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south;

The flags are hunting, summoning the war drums to march eastward;

The long yellow sand cannot stop the march of the Western Expedition.

Luo Feng's hoarse voice sounded first, followed by his personal guards, then all the soldiers above the city, and finally the veterans below the city. The war song of the Eastern Expedition Army sounded loudly, straight into the night, and the generals All the sounds of thunder, thunder, wind and rain were suppressed

In Fufeng City, tens of thousands of people now gathered together. Tens of thousands of people sang loudly together with astonishing momentum. The singing spread far away, but it only exacerbated the panic of the Qi army. At night, in the wind, in the rain, in the thunder, It seems that the war songs of the Eastern Conquest Army are ringing everywhere, and the cavalry of the Eastern Conquest Army are attacking everywhere. They are defeated like mountains. At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalry are completely turned into headless flies, scurrying around where there are few people. Where to drill, as for facing the enemy, at this time, in their hearts, it no longer exists at all.

Under the protection of his own bodyguards, Wei He charged out all the way without distinguishing between east, west, north and west, and fled forward desperately. The shouts of killing behind him were loud, and the war songs of the Eastern Expedition Army seemed to have been following them. As soon as I escaped, it was midnight. I didn’t even know when the thunder stopped or the rain stopped.

When the first ray of dawn tore through the darkness of the night and shed light on the world, the war horses could no longer run. The panicked cavalry just stopped.

After a night of heavy rain, the air seemed particularly fresh. The exhausted Wei He sat next to his equally exhausted war horse. Looking at the disheveled soldiers around him, the regret in his heart was self-evident.

The cavalry of the Eastern Expeditionary Army has returned. Although I don’t know how many cavalrymen attacked my camp yesterday, based on my many years of experience in leading cavalry, I guess there are at least several thousand to ten thousand. The cavalrymen of the Eastern Expeditionary Army have Wei He didn't know how many, but he understood that since the first unit of the Eastern Expedition Army appeared, there would definitely be a second and third unit.

He shuddered, forced himself up from the ground, roared loudly, called to the guards around him, and ordered them to immediately find his generals. The most important thing now was to gather the remaining soldiers and disperse as many as possible. The cavalry gathered together, and then fought back, fought back to Xiaoshanguan, and told the Prime Minister that Gao Yuan was back and that the plan to seize places such as Liaoxi and Jishi had gone bankrupt.

After the heavy rain, a scorching sun burst out in the sky. The wet armor was exposed to the sun and steamed out. It was extremely uncomfortable to wear it on the body, but at this time, who could care about this? , those who survived can only feel lucky. In the circumstances like yesterday, it was really not easy to escape with a life.

After half a day, Wei He finally gathered nearly 5,000 cavalry. In the afternoon, several cavalry generals came to him with some of the remaining soldiers. They counted the number of people and found that half of the 20,000 cavalry had been lost. Wei He wanted to There are no tears. At this time, they have thrown away all their food, grass and baggage. Next to them, there is an unknown number of cavalry from the Eastern Expedition Army. The return journey may not be so smooth (to be continued)
