Chapter 43: Kill a Man
For the medical skills of the Chu State, which grew up from countless dead people and injuries, fractures are not a major illness, just a minor illness. Xiong's shoulder blade and left forearm were immobilized in a cast, and other wounds on his body were properly treated, and it was confirmed that after three months, the broken bones would be connected, and he would be healed.
In these three months, he was able to weave his new armor - the temperature that he could reach in the mansion exceeded two thousand degrees very early. 2,000 degrees can use pyrometallurgy to extract the metal nickel in the cupronickel separately to make boring cutters and milling cutters. His armor and sword are also made of nickel, making them tougher and sharper than the usual iron armor and armor. However, this can only resist the slashing, slashing, and stabbing of the blade, and if it is smashed with a copper hammer, its power will still be transmitted to the body and limbs, causing damage, such as broken bones.
A fracture is like a cripple, but fortunately, the upper body is only crippled, and the lower body can still move. At noon that day, Xiong Jing got up and listened to the proclamations of Zhuang Wudi, Peng Zong and others about the battle.
"In yesterday's battle, our army won a great victory, the Qin people were defeated, the Qin people died more than 104,000 people, and countless people were wounded. Our army is dead...... Four thousand five hundred and sixty-three people, more than 11,600 wounded......" Zhuang Wu said that when he talked about the casualties of our army, he could not avoid it, and most of these casualties were caused by the return attack of the Qin cavalry.
"Xiang Chao?" More than 10,000 casualties were already within Xiong Jing's expectations, and he cared more about Xiang Chao.
"Yu Da Ao," Xiang Shi Sima Pengzong sighed: "Xiang Hou, Xue Ye." ”
"Huh?!" Xiong Jing was about to stand up, but Mi Xuan beside him was worried about his injury, so he hurriedly pulled him down.
"The villain was ambushed by the Qin army, in order to lead Xiang Hou into the hub, and ordered the good shooter to shoot him, and the arrow hit Xiang Hou's jaw. Our sergeants were furious and killed Qin generals, and Qin rode nearly 10,000 dead. Peng Zong briefly described Xiang Chao's death, and the meaning was sad. Xiang Yan died in battle, and Xiang Chao died in battle, but fortunately, Xiang's heirs are still alive.
"Fenfen!" Xiong Jing gritted his teeth and read the name of Yu Fen, this person Fei Jing was not killed, Xiang Chao was not killed, and he was not killed.
"The king is angry. Our army is advancing north, the Qin people are rushing, and all the horsemen will be able to kill this national thief! Zhuang Wudi saw that Xiong Jing was angry again, and hurriedly persuaded.
"The Qin people are defeated but not defeated, and they must not rush forward!" Before fainting, Xiong Jing saw the soldiers of the Qin army scattered and re-arrayed, Chen Ying went to Daliang for more than 300 miles, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, plus 20,000 or 30,000 Qin cavalry troops, and he was going to suffer a loss if he was not careful.
"The generals of all divisions are well aware of this principle, and they will never venture to be tempted by the Qin people." Peng Zongdao felt bitter in his heart.
"Good." Xiong Jing relaxed. He knows the characteristics of the Chu army very well, and the victor is easy to be arrogant, and the frustration is easy to be discouraged. With such a temperament, the most appropriate way to fight is to fight abroad, not at home. Thinking of this, he said again: "After going north, the garrison will be opened to relieve the siege of Daliang." ”
"Yu Daao: The garrison can be opened, and it is difficult to relieve the siege of Daliang." Zhuang is not authentic. "The spring water is rising, and now Daliang is in Daze, and those who are close to the shore are dozens of miles away, and the Qin people are ...... the boat."
The land battle and the Chu army won all battles, but the water battle was different. Even if they were to win, the losses would be enormous. The shogunate's concerns were like this, Xiong Jing thought of the Wei and Zhao countries besieging the city, and said: "However, in summer and autumn, the water saving is even more ......, what can you say?" ”
"What?" Nao Cunning must sit in Shouying, and Li and set off for the army yesterday, and he was not in Chen Ying at this time. "Li He is in the army, our army has not yet arrived in Kaifeng, and I don't know what is going on around Daliang."
"Prepare the boat." Xiong Jing Road. The Chu army was advancing north at this time, and it would be able to catch up with Kaifeng in three days at most. Today is the second day, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the Chu army will be able to garrison and open the seal.
"Yui." The fracture is not a major injury, Zhuang Wudi and the others saw Xiong Jing's expression as usual, and did not prevent Xiong Jing from going to Kaifeng, but Xiong Jing's side Qi Xuan couldn't help but tremble.
"However, the evasion is imminent, and the minister thinks that ......" Zhuang Wudi said another thing. Da Ao persuaded the Queen Mother to go to Xinying. ”
"Let's persuade after the garrison is unsealed." The queen mother disappeared after seeing her, the military situation was urgent, if a few words could persuade the queen mother to go to Xinying, it would not have been delayed until today. Xiong Jing finally looked at Mi Xuan, who was trembling just now: "Ao Hou and Sheng'er will also go." ”
Zhuang Wudi and a few people were surprised when they heard this, Da Ao called Mi Xuan as Ao Hou, obviously he said to them, Peng Zong said: "The Qin people still have 300,000 soldiers in Shahai, if our army catches up with Kaifeng......"
"Who is the general of the Qin army?" Xiong Jing asked with a smile.
"This ......" Peng Zong thought of the number of soldiers, but did not think of the question of who was the general. After Meng Tian's death, the only one who could be a general in the Qin army was Wang Qian. Wang Jian has returned to his hometown after illness, even if the King of Qin urgently summons Wang Qian, he will not be able to come to Daliang for a while.
"Before the situation is known, the Qin people will not dare to fight with me again." Xiong Jing said with certainty. Put yourself in the shoes of the Qin army, after the battle of Shashui, the generals of the Qin army who will fight again will definitely worry about whether the soil under their feet will suddenly explode. Before understanding the reason, the generals of the Qin army were definitely unwilling to fight the Chu army again. The only worry is that the 300,000 Qin soldiers who stayed in Shaohai and did not experience the gunpowder explosion under their feet, these 300,000 people may be killed.
"Prepare the boat." Xiong Jing didn't know the situation in the court of the Qin State, and he couldn't judge what the remaining 300,000 Qin soldiers in Shahai would do, and he needed to rush to Kaifeng immediately. The people of the shogunate were worried that there were Qin army war boats on the waterway, so in the end they did not prepare boats, but only prepared a few wide carriages for Xiong Jing, and the carriages traveled by land to Kaifeng, which was 270 miles away.
The counterattack caused more than 16,000 Chu soldiers to be killed and wounded, minus the thousands of lightly wounded soldiers who had already returned to the camp, and the Chu army was reduced by nearly 10,000 troops. As Xiong Jing envisioned, the Qin army, which was still afraid of the Chu army, did not dare to fight anymore and rushed all the way north. The wounded, weak, and old soldiers were abandoned along the way, and by the time Xiong Jing arrived at Kaifeng, the Qin army had retreated to the Shahai camp north of Fengze.
"Long live Da Ao! Long live Ao Hou! Long live Da Ao! Long live Ao Hou...... "Outside the city, Xiong Jing did not enter the city by car, but rode into the city. Mi Xuan was also riding a horse, and when she saw her with Xiong Jing, the Chu soldiers couldn't help cheering in unison, and the spears struck their armor, making a rhythmic sound.
"King Chu, this ...... This chicken is also in the morning. "What the Chu people think is normal, the disciples of Xinling Jun feel extremely abnormal. As soon as these words came out, Wei Jianwu immediately glared at the doorman, and the doorman hurriedly bowed his head.
"The affairs of the state of Chu must not be said much." Wei Jianwei warned everyone. It was not only a doorman who was surprised by the shouts of the Chu army, but also Wei Jiao, the prince of Wei. He was not surprised by the Chu man Ji Si Chen, but surprised that the Chu woman could also wear a huge armor and ride on a war horse heroically. Sun Wuzi's training in Wu Palace was more than 200 years ago, and it was just a joke between King Wu and Sun Wuzi.
The Wei people, who were bystanders, were surprised, and the Qi Xuan, who was the authority, was also surprised. On the day of the wedding, she was either worried or happy, and she didn't hear what the people around her were shouting. This time was different, this time she clearly heard the soldiers shouting long live Ao Hou, cheering for her, and in an instant, she felt her blood suddenly surge, and every nerve was hot.
Glory side by side! She instantly remembered the word the man had said before. What she didn't expect was that at noon the next day, the man would teach her how to win her own glory.
"Are you okay?" To the west of Fengze, near the Great Wall of Wei and Han, Xiong Jing slowly reined in after a gallop. This is the tacit understanding of the two armies of Chu and Qin, several horses of the Qin army are cruising not far away, the guards knights are far behind, and only Zhuang is going to follow.
"I'm fine." Mi Xuan's armor fits perfectly, and it does have a heroic and refreshing taste. She didn't know why the man had brought her here.
"Kill someone." Xiong Jing pointed to the Qin army in front of him and said, no joke. Mi Xuan was surprised, Zhuang Qujian was also surprised, he didn't expect Da Ao to let Ao Hou go to kill a Qin army to reprimand the horse.
Looking at his wife's surprised face, Xiong Jing's raised hand quickly put it down. Even with the protection of himself and Zhuang Quji, it was very dangerous to face the Qin army's repulsion. He didn't speak again, but rode his horse and galloped towards those Qin horses. He could only follow the rush forward, and Mi Xuan was thrown in place.
On the opposite side, the Qin army reprimanded the cavalry and saw the two dragoons rushing towards them, avoiding them vigilantly, and then preparing to follow. Fengze was connected to Muze, and to the east of Muze was Zhushui, so the Chu army could only bypass Fengze to the west near the chasm and Rongyang. From here, the scouts of the Chu army often went to the Qin-controlled area to spy on the military, and the Qin army's scouts also entered the Chu-controlled area from here to spy on the Chu army.
If the main general does not have the order to suppress the enemy horse, the two sides generally follow the enemy horse closely and do not intercept it, and rarely fight. When a few Qin horses were about to follow, they found that there were dragoons running behind them, so they avoided again. I didn't think that the dragoon was not going north, but drawing his sword to kill himself. What's even more surprising is that the dragoon knight's face armor was not pulled down, and it was actually a beautiful woman.
There was a sword on the head of the color character, and a knight who was lured by Mi Xuan's appearance reacted a step slower, and the dragon horse took a vertical leap, and the long sword stabbed sharply, but fortunately, the riding skills were very exquisite, and this person twisted his body and dodged this killing sword. The fight on the horse is only for a moment when the body is wrong, and this moment is wasted, and you can only rush over and turn the horse's head and come again.
Xiong Jing expected that Mi Xuan would catch up, but she didn't expect that she didn't chase herself and chose to rush directly to Qin Qi instead of chasing herself. He and Zhuang hurriedly turned around and ran towards Mi Xuan, who was preparing to charge for the second time.
"Kill!" Qi Xuan, who charged again, shouted, this female voice not only did not make the Qin army scouts afraid, but made them laugh. No matter how much you laugh, they are also cold Qin people, when hedging, Qin Qi attacked left and right, Zhuang Qujian hurriedly shot an arrow, but Qi Xuan was still split off the horse by Qin Cai.
"Xuan'er!" Xiong Jing was shocked. He was injured in his left shoulder and left arm, lost his balance, and when he dismounted, he half-fell to the ground. Ignoring all this, he rushed forward to check the injury and picked up the woman, who was already in tears, hugged him and began to cry.
"Unharmed, unharmed, unharmed." Xiong Jing can only be comforted. Several Qin horsemen wanted to rush and kill again, but Zhuang Qu's precise arrows forced them back one by one.
