Chapter 415 Right and wrong black and white
Xiao Xun pointed to the narrow pass in front of him and said: "Go out from there, it is the official road, and the hill next to it is Xiangyang Slope."
Jinling looked in the direction Xiao Xun pointed, and there was a vast plain outside, with low grass and sparse trees. It seemed that it used to be farmland, but now it has become barren.
"How can Marshal Jin know the terrain of Xiapi so well?"
"I used to switch defenses here when I was a pawn. We used to go this way in practice."
"I didn't expect Marshal Jin to be a soldier. I thought..."
Xiao Xun said with a smile: "You thought I was the captain of Tunqi when I joined the army? That's not true, I was a partial general at the beginning.... What's wrong?"
Seeing that Jin Ling frowned, he thought she was dissatisfied with this special treatment, and was about to explain, when Jin Ling said: "As Marshal Jin expected, a group of people came here. We ……how to spell?"
After listening to Xiao Xun's loud order to speed up, he seemed to pick a place at random, and ordered everyone to stop and start cutting wood. In less than a stick of incense, he got a lot of sharpened sticks more than a foot long.Xiao Xun saw that Jin Ling didn't ask, so he shyly put his face on it and said, "Sister Ling Dang, don't you wonder what this is?"
Jin Ling had no choice but to ask: "Brother Yi, please enlighten me."
Xiao Xun laughed, and ordered: "Li Jian, take someone to bury him!"
Li Jian took the order and led a group of people walking around in the forest holding wooden sticks. When they came back, none of them were there, probably all of them were buried in the ground.Jinling looked carefully, and saw that in the forest on the side of the road about two feet deep, there were inches of spikes protruding from the ground from time to time, and suddenly realized: "You used this method in the suburbs of Jianye back then."
Xiao Xun said: "That's right, I told you to take a peek! But when it comes to fighting, the simpler and more effective it is, it's useless to embroider your legs. Everyone change bows to hide!"
Hearing a sound, the people scattered in the woods, found some rotten leaves to hang on their bodies, held bows and arrows, and crawled to hide.Jin Ling and Xiao Xun hid behind a rock, and Xiao Xun poked his head out, always paying attention to the movements in the distance.
"Little sister Bell, you just said that there is a team of people, but why didn't I see the smoke?"
Jin Ling said: "It seems that the ones who came were not cavalry, but came on foot."
Xiao Xun muttered: "This is not quite right."
"Is there anything wrong?"
Li Jian interjected: "These Xianbei barbarians have powerful cavalry. The terrain of Xiapi is generally very flat and wide. The first wave of attack was not cavalry..."
Xiao Xun nodded and said, "Well... Li Jian is right. Here we come, get ready!"
Jinling looked up and saw a group of infantry galloping along the forest path, with their bows and guns on their backs. Because the wind was blowing, Jinling could smell a smell of kerosene, so she whispered to Xiao Xun, "They are planning to Just burn the food and grass."
Xiao Xun said: "I'm a little worried... Li Jian, in the news sent back by the scouts in the morning, are there any cavalry?"
Li Jiandao: "Yes, maybe it was held back by the Xiapi defenders."
Xiao Xun couldn't help laughing, and said: "The most taboo in marching and fighting is to think of things so beautifully. I think that once the military governor dies, no one will give his life to Hou Jing. Maybe he has already surrendered to meet the enemy. You Do you know? These cows are also military rations. Hou Jingxie has done a lot of killing donkeys. Except for Jiehu, who would want to fight for him with his head on his waist? Stop talking nonsense, and prepare to shoot arrows."
Jin Ling also held a bow, opened the bow and set up an arrow and prepared with everyone.
Xiao Xun kept looking at her, and seeing her pulling further and further away, he quickly reminded: "Hey, it's almost enough, I know how hard you eat, so don't break it."
Li Jian couldn't help but started laughing again, Xiao Xun usually eats less than others, and he can shoot a bow to a hundred stones, how could he have the opportunity to talk about others?
He still said it was a step too late, only heard a soft "bang", then the bow bent back and hung in Jinling's hand, Xiao Xun sighed: "It's impossible to change it for you now."
Jin Ling had no choice but to drop the damaged longbow in her hand, and said, "In that case, I'll go ahead and check it out."
Knowing that she was, Xiao Xun told her: "Be careful in everything, don't startle the snake, run away if you are in danger."
Jin Ling nodded and left here.
She advanced in the forest, and gradually moved away from the only place where there were voices. Only two miles ahead was the sunny slope that Xiao Xun mentioned. Because of the change of the wind direction, she could only smell the faint smell of kerosene, but she could not smell it. Without the stench of mules and horses, if it wasn't for the faint shadows of cows and horses flashing by in the valley, she would have suspected that the entire grain and grass team had been eaten by the monster in the sky.
Xiao Xun's men and horses were hidden in the winter forest, and the galloping infantry passed neatly on the path in front of them. Xiao Xun ordered in a low voice to release arrows, and groups of arrows were released from one side of the forest. Stop, there were soldiers who fell down with arrows one after another, and the commander of the other side stabilized his position in time and ordered to hide in the forest to find a bunker. After a while, a group of people all ran into the woods.
The Xianbei people in a panic entered the woods. The first few people who went in accidentally stepped on a sharp wooden stick after running for two steps, hurting their feet. Also yelled.
Xiao Xun was the first to get up at this time, and ordered rapid fire with a loud voice. The dense arrows drove the Xianbei people into the woods to hide. The people behind did not know what happened in front, and the stupid soldiers were impatient. hurry up.In this way, the person whose feet were pinned in front stepped into the depths of the thorn formation, his feet were pierced and dripping with blood, and he could not go any further, but the people behind pushed and shoved the people in front to the ground. on the ground.The person who landed was lying on the thorns, and the thick wooden thorns pierced through the weak parts of the armor, piercing through the flesh and blood inside.
As soon as the screams sounded, there were one after another. Some of the people behind were still in places without much shelter. The people in the rear were the most tragic, and died of random arrows. Some of the survivors in the middle hurriedly hid behind the trees.These people hastily pulled out their bows and arrows and shot again, but it's a pity that they are weak and light. After all, archery by a hundred people is not as powerful as a salvo by a thousand people. In the end, they were suppressed behind a tree and couldn't move for a while. Xiao Xun had already led a group of people to outflank the enemy. Feeling that the random shooting stopped, when the whole team broke through, Xiao Xun had already killed them with a big knife.The enemy army was crowded in the narrow strip between the thorn and the roadside, and was hit by Xiao Xun, who chopped off many heads.In the end, Li Jian led people to fight out from the flank, and he didn't know how to get the head for a while.
Two miles passed in a blink of an eye, and Jin Ling climbed up the sunny slope that Xiao Xun was thinking about, but at this moment, the ground trembled faintly.Knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly climbed up to the top of the slope, but saw a piece of flat ground on the opposite side, and it was actually a black mass of cavalrymen charging up with swords and torches.They were much faster than the bullock carts, and they ran to the front in a blink of an eye, waving their long knives to drive away the guarding Xiapi defenders.
Most of the defenders carried guns. As Xiao Xun said, they drew up their formation and relied on the strong carriage of the cart, with the point of their guns facing outwards, so that the cavalry almost returned without success.
But the cavalry quickly turned around and turned back, throwing jars of kerosene onto the car while galloping.They were no longer interested in fighting, and after throwing the kerosene jar far away, they took out their long knives and ran back. The air smelled pungent for a while.Jinling knew that there was no need to look any further, for such a strong smell, just a spark would set the whole convoy on fire.
She immediately turned back and ran down the mountain, wanting to find Xiao Xun to report the matter, but saw faint commotion in the distance, and bright silver flashes from time to time, she couldn't help speeding up her pace, returned to the low point of the ambush, saw Xiao Xun and others The man has won the battle and is leisurely searching for arrows that have fallen from the ground.
"Marshal Jin!"
Xiao Xun poked his head out and said, "What's wrong?"
Jin Ling ran up to Xiao Xun and said: "The cavalry has already circled to the other side of the official road. We were one step too late. They didn't charge down and set fire to the carts. They didn't want to rob, but they wanted to destroy the food and grass. Someone is following up, there are a lot of people, shouldn't we retreat quickly?"
Xiao Xun was stunned, he didn't expect the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to be so fast and to overtake the front early.
He asked: "The horse team copied to the front? What about the group of people who ambushed in front? Is there no news at all?"
Li Jian shook his head silently after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "Most likely the entire army is wiped out, Marshal Jin, our situation is precarious, we should retreat quickly."
Xiao Xun immediately ordered the formation to be gathered and headed northeast.
The adjutants sent by Zu's found something wrong, stood in front of Xiao Xun and asked, "Marshal Jin, why are we going in this direction?"
Xiao Xun said: "Did you see the smoke? The grain and grass have been burned. No matter how much we charge forward, we will never be able to complete this task!"
The man said: "The food transportation team stretched for two miles, only the rear section was smoking, and there was still a lot left. Marshal Jin just ran away like this. Have you ever thought about what people in Jiangnan will eat this winter?"
Li Jian stood in front of Xiao Xun, drew his sword and pointed at the man, and shouted in a low voice: "Zu Rong, our Marshal Jin is the commander in chief, are you going to rebel before the battle?"
The adjutant named Zu Rong snorted coldly: "My ancestors have no deserters, which is different from Marshal Jin."
Jin Ling tugged at Xiao Xun's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "We don't agree with each other if we have different ways, we just go."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xun waved her hand away, and said to Zu Rong angrily: "You are going to die! The grain and grass cart is a wall in front, and there are people chasing after it. If you don't run away now, you will have more later!" Is there a place to escape?!"
Zu Rong sneered and said, "Caught it!"
The disciples of the Zu family who were fighting together just now all drew their swords and surrounded the three of them.The two wins just now don't count.Jin Ling really didn't understand,
Xiao Xun said: "You want to send yourself to death. Since you don't trust us, let us go quickly. You take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge. Everyone does not violate the river water. Why waste time here?"
Zu Rong said: "Marshal Jin is wrong. It's not that I don't believe you, but I doubt you. Last night I clearly saw a black shadow walking under Marshal Jin's eyelids, but Marshal Jin said he had never seen it before." Someone, I suspected you to be an inner ghost at that time, as expected, just after you let the enemy go, the military governor was assassinated. Just now, the little lady said that there are people behind, and you would hold us in an ambush there, if it weren't for This delay, we have already covered the two miles, but now because of a small loss, we have someone burn food and grass in front of us, tell me, do I still dare to let you be the commander in chief?"
