Chapter 6
Using the cliff as a camouflage, and forming an array behind the cliff, is a great trick of heavenly soldiers.
When Gu Yanqi left Jing Zhongjin behind, he ordered them to use the wet soil, wood and rocks here to disguise a "real" cliff between the two cliffs.
This cliff does not need to be too real, if the barbarians come here, their attention must be on the mountain forest on the east side, so as long as they can get by.
It was as if a partition was used to split a space into two halves. Jing Zhongjin and others prepared their troops behind the cliff, but the barbarians and Mu Jing and others who were separated by a wall were not even aware of it.
When they need to rush out, they only need to use a temporary trebuchet to throw a few stone bombs at this fragile wall, and the road will be cleared instantly.
It was such fantastic ideas that made Jing Zhongjin sigh.
To the barbarians and to Mu Jing, their team of cavalry is nothing more than heavenly soldiers!
The sound of horseshoes rumbled, and the sound of war drums echoed in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, the armored cavalry jumped over the wreckage of the cliff, rushed out of the path, and rushed straight to the barbarian soldiers with invincible courage!
The leader was a young general in silver armor, holding a pewter gun, and inserted it obliquely into the barbarian formation like a blade, cutting a gap.
The cavalry behind him lined up one by one, and thirty cavalry quickly widened the gap, cutting the barbarian formation into two pieces!
"Don't let them rush over!" The barbarian general roared, and he ordered the lieutenant general to continue attacking Mu Jing, and turned his horse's head to stop the young general in silver armor.
He really doesn't understand those genteel military knowledge, but he can understand what that team of Daqing cavalry is doing!
It is the favorite tactic of grassland people!
Breaking through the enemy's formation, cutting the enemy into two pieces, and then charging again. After repeating this, the enemy will be divided into several small parts that have no resistance. It is difficult to organize any effective defense and counterattack. The whole army was defeated during the coping.
The barbarian general's turning back greatly reduced the pressure on Mu Jing's place. He immediately stopped his attack, and in a very short period of time, along the sparsest edge of the forest, he barely organized the formation, and then, amidst the sound of drums, , leading the crowd to battle!
This alone is enough to show his extraordinary military ability!
In the blink of an eye, the pros and cons of Daqing and the barbarians reversed!
Jing Zhongjin led the crowd to break through the barbarian battle formation in the blink of an eye, and none of the thirty cavalry behind him was missing.
Much of the reason for this should be attributed to the earth-shattering scene of the rock wall breaking.
Leading the cavalry across the open space in a perfect arc, Jing Zhongjin planned to take advantage of this moment to charge again.
But this time the barbarians have woken up from the shock just now, and the more than 3000 barbarian soldiers were divided into two parts, one part continued to attack Mu Jing, and the other part rushed towards Jing Zhongjin like half the sea!
Jing Zhongjin's return journey was no longer as smooth as before, but he was not afraid at all, and a white wax spear danced vigorously, taking the lives of countless barbarian cavalry and infantry.
"Dare you kid!"
A rough voice sounded on the battlefield, and then a long knife held Jing Zhongjin's pewter gun.
As soon as the two sides fought, Jing Zhongjin felt his mouth go numb. He knew that the opponent was definitely not an ordinary soldier, so he quickly looked at it intently.
I saw that barbarian wearing iron armor and holding a refined long knife, his figure was a circle taller than others, and even his horse was very heroic.
This is definitely an important general!
Jing Zhongjin was overjoyed!
The barbarian general shouted: "There are people like you in the Central Plains. If you are willing to surrender to me now, I will spare your life!"
Jing Zhongjin laughed: "It's not so ridiculous for me to be a savage instead of being a good person!"
"I've trapped all thirty of your men here, and you still dare to speak wild words!"
"Where are there only thirty riders!" Jing Zhongjin laughed even louder, "Young Master Gu has a clever plan, and he has already invited three thousand soldiers from Yuecheng Guard to come here to support him!"
"It's not us who died today, but you and other savages!"
The barbarian general was so angry that he howled and charged straight over!
"Good come!"
Jing Zhongjin also yelled, twisted his waist to avoid the sharp blade of the barbarian general, and stabbed a white spear from his waist. In the blink of an eye, the two cavalry had already clashed!
The horse neighs!
Jing Zhongjin covered the wound on his waist, pulled his horse back, and saw that the barbarian general was also turning back on his horse.
But as he turned around, there was also the pewter gun that pierced his chest!
The barbarian general fell to his death!
"Hahaha!" Jing Zhongjin pulled out a barbarian sword from someone's wreckage on the ground, and raised it above his head, "Have fun!!"
Gu Yanqi always paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield. When he saw the armored barbarian fall from his horse, he immediately grabbed the soldiers around him, no matter who the opponent was, and shouted, "Can you speak barbarian language!"
"Yes!" The soldier answered loudly.
"Go! Get everyone to shout in the barbarian language, the general is dead!"
After Gu Yanqi finished speaking, he let go of the soldiers. Holding a long sword, he rushed forward with the infantry and joined the battle with the barbarians. At the same time, the soldiers shouted loudly in barbarian language that the general was dead.
This voice gradually spread on the battlefield, and when he saw every barbarian unconsciously looking in the direction of the general, he shouted again in Daqing language.
"Daqing reinforcements have arrived!"
He suddenly thrust the long sword in his hand towards the rock wall!
When the long sword was inserted into the rock wall, there were bursts of human voices from above the cliff!
"Yuechengwei reinforcements have arrived!"
Although the barbarian leader died and his morale was lost, several barbarian lieutenants were still saving the situation. They shouted and told the people in the barbarian language that this was a conspiracy by the people of the Central Plains, and there was no reinforcements at all.
I heard the rumble of drums, but I didn't see the so-called reinforcements coming to fight. Although many barbarian soldiers were frightened, the situation calmed down again.
Gu Yanqi saw it, but he wasn't in a hurry.
He shouted loudly to Mu Jing: "Your Highness!"
"what!"
Mu Jing responded with the loudest voice, otherwise, they would not be able to hear what the other party was saying.
"Quickly ask someone to clear the intersection!"
Mu Jing looked back, they had rushed across the open space and arrived at the escape intersection.
The intersection that can accommodate four horses in parallel is still too narrow for 2000 people. The desire to survive makes everyone want to get in, but the intersection is blocked.
Mu Jing didn't wait for the order, he rushed up and killed the few people who were fighting the most fiercely, and the horrified people gave way one after another, and then loudly said: "Get out of the way!"
All the soldiers hurriedly obeyed their orders, and the moment they got out of the way, they heard the sound of galloping horseshoes on the narrow path, and two teams of more than [-] Daqing cavalry galloped out!
The rumble of war drums resounded across the battlefield, which was not comparable to Mu Jing's few remaining war drums. At least dozens of war drums sounded from north to south at the same time!
At the same time, several foggy figures appeared on the cliff, shouting for killing.
At first glance, it seems that there are really [-] Yuecheng guards standing here!
The spirits of the Daqing soldiers were lifted!
The barbarian soldiers suddenly trembled!
"Yuechengwei reinforcements have arrived!!"
At this moment, several footmen ran over leading the horses loaded with goods.
"His Royal Highness!" Gu Yanqi stepped forward and chopped off all the cloth bags on the horse's back, leading the horse and said to Mu Jing, "Do you still have cavalry under your command?"
Mu Jing suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Why not!"
So nearly ten more cavalry joined the battlefield.
With a swing of Gu Yanqi's long sword, he cut open the cloth bag on the ground, and densely packed arrows appeared in front of Mu Jing.
"Under my king, there are still a few people who can shoot arrows!" Prince Gong laughed again, "Why don't you ask the drummer to come down!?"
"That's all done by Mr. Lu in the forest. How can he kill people?"
"What about these figures?"
"It's all made of straw!"
Gu Yanqi laughed and responded, then turned to face the battlefield behind him.
"Then, Your Highness, please ask all the soldiers to follow me."
"Yuechengwei reinforcements have arrived!!"
Hundreds of figures on the cliff finally took action, and the arrows were like the blade of death, harvesting the lives of the barbarians on the battlefield.
The courage of the barbarians was completely broken by the dense crowd of shooters on the cliff who didn't know the truth or falsehood, by the two new teams of cavalry, and by the substandard sound of "Yuecheng Guard reinforcements have arrived".
When the casualties exceeded [-]%, when they faced the Daqing soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, even the whips and long knives of the supervising army could not stop the defeated soldiers.
The first barbarian soldier turned and fled, his head was chopped off by the Overseer.
But the second, the third... When the countless soldiers turned and fled, even the barbarian lieutenants were powerless.
They could only leave behind the corpses of their fellow clansmen, or fled into the forest in embarrassment, or rushed out of the battlefield on horseback.
This battle has been won.
Panting heavily, Gu Yanqi let go of the long sword and lay powerlessly on the ground.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that his heart was in pain like a needle prick, and his fingers could no longer hold the sword handle tightly.
If a person didn't kill two people, he fell ill first.
He smiled, but felt much more open-minded.
"What are you thinking about?"
Mu Jing walked to him and sat down.
"It's just that fighting seems to be an interesting thing." Gu Yanqi said in a good mood.
"If you think like this, how many people will scold you." Mu Jing was amused by his childish words, "We won this battle, but there are more than 500 soldiers who will never return."
"But more people will survive." Gu Yanqi shook his head, "At least this war is not for killing, but for protecting."
"One hundred cavalry beat off five thousand barbarians. This battle is your first achievement." Mu Jing was silent for a while, then changed the subject, "When I get to Yuecheng, I intend to enlist you as a counselor. I don't know what you want. ?”
Is this to recruit him?
Gu Yanqi quickly got up from the ground and saluted Mu Jing respectfully.
"Qi is very grateful for His Highness's promotion, but Qi has a very deep relationship with the General..."
Mu Jing's eyes fell on his pale cheeks, and he frowned.
"Are you in poor health?"
"It's all minor problems." Gu Yanqi was taken aback for a moment, and then brought the topic back, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Highness's good intentions."
It was the first time that Mu Jing recruited others to work under his command. He didn't expect Gu Yanqi to refuse so quickly. He didn't know whether it was disappointment or anger in his heart. After all, he was still a calm person, so he only tested in a joking tone. .
"You are so heartfelt to He Zhengqi, even though you are sick, you have to come to help him save this king. If this king and He Aiqing die at the same time, you don't know who Gu Qi will save."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them. He said those words for his own sake. He raised his eyes to meet Gu Yanqi's gaze, and wanted to apologize immediately.
But at this time Gu Yanqi had already smiled slightly, pretending to apologize.
"Hahaha, Your Highness Mingjian, under the command of the Great General, Qinai naturally obeys the orders of the Great General, and besides, Didn't Qi come to rescue you already?"
Mu Jing's words were stuck deep in his throat. He was a little thankful that his subtle thoughts had not been noticed, but also a little disappointed. Gu Yanqi replied: "I blamed you all."
Gu Yan hummed, but the harmonious atmosphere between the two had completely dissipated, leaving only awkward silence.
The arrival of Jing Zhongjin happened to interrupt the silence.
"My lord, the horses are running everywhere, I'm afraid it's too late to clean up the corpses of the brothers."
"Abandon the horses, take the weapons, and find someone to carry the wounded soldiers. Let's go now, without any delay." Gu Yanqi took a deep breath, managed to gather some strength, and was about to stand up.
Mu Jing immediately supported him: "You are weak, you should wait."
"Your Highness, you have to go no matter how weak you are." Gu Yanxi rubbed his head, "If I'm not mistaken, the barbarians will leave and return within an hour at most, and then there is no way to ask Yuecheng Guards to rescue them gone."
