Chapter 698: Yuan Family Brothers
In the face of the opponent's glaive formation, Chen Gong naturally set up a square array to strengthen the defense, and surprisingly, he did not place the strongest ironclad cavalry on the periphery, but put the drummers, coachmen, and even men in the outermost corner. His intentions, as long as he is not a fool, anyone can see it, these people begged Chen Gong for mercy one by one with tears in their eyes, but they didn't kneel and kowtow.
Zang Ba glared and said, "Don't be crooked, can't you see the current situation?" On the other side, it is clear that they want to kill us all, and everyone can only fight to the death, killing one is enough, killing two and earning one. We are behind, and if we can rush out one or two, we may avenge you in the future, but if we die first, is there any difference between you and the lambs to the slaughter? As soon as he said this, his cry gradually became low, and many people clenched the drum hammer and spatula in their hands.
Qiu Ming asked: "I see that Zhou Jing and they are also ready, and they are not attacking yet, what are they waiting for?" ”
Chen Gong raised his eyes and looked: "They are waiting for the sun." ”
Tyumen said: "The sun? What do you mean? Is there a tengu eclipse day today? ”
"There is no need for such a big battle, now that I am in the east and the enemy is in the west, they are attacking from the west, and if the timing is right, it is just right to let the sunlight interfere with our vision, and the archers will not be so powerful. Hey, he didn't expect us to flee in a hurry this time, we didn't have time to bring out the arrows, and many archers were just decorations. ”
It turns out that there is such an operation, and it seems that this Xu Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Tyumen asked again: "Then what should we do?" Will you just wait with them? ”
Chen Gong sighed: "I have already asked Liao Hua to go out to fight, but the other party should not fight at all, but almost shot and injured him, so I can't think of it." Now Dian Wei, Bao Chu and Jiang Qin are all injured, and Bao Chu and Jiang Qin basically have no ability to protect themselves, and it is impossible for us to leave them alone and flee for their lives, so we have to take one step at a time. ”
He raised his eyes and looked at the sky again: "If the other party wants to seek the best formation breaking effect, he will definitely wait until the sun is in the westernmost part before activating." But they forgot that it was night soon after the sun turned west, and when it got dark, we had more chances to break through and escape......."
Suddenly, Chen Gong's voice paused, and he looked at the large cloud of smoke and dust raised in the sky in surprise. Qiu Ming was also stunned, judging from the strong shaking of the earth, at least a cavalry of tens of thousands of people was rushing towards this side, but the river network in the land of Huaisi was crisscrossed, how could such a large-scale cavalry come out? Could it be that Sun Jian came back from Changsha? Or did the Marquis of Hefei lead his guards to personally exterminate Qiuming despite the ban?
Zhou Jing was also stunned, he clearly knew that the Marquis of Hefei was now obscure, and it was impossible to easily arouse the jealousy of the person in the capital, even such a trivial matter as going out of the city to hunt had been stopped, and it was impossible to lead the troops to such a far place. He looked at Xu You, and Xu You immediately said: "The night is long and there are many dreams, we have to attack quickly, and take the Jinlan spectrum in our hands first." ”
Zhou Jing nodded again and again: "What Ziyuan said is that the order will go down, blow the trumpet, and attack." ”
When the horn sounded, the people of Dengzhou were all in high spirits, knowing that the moment to decide life and death was about to come. They clenched their pitiful weapons, silently chanted the names of their relatives at home, and cowered to meet the large number of cavalry slowly pressing on the opposite side, ready to defend what little dignity they had with their lives.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from afar, shouting: "General Yuan, the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, you and the others immediately stop the fight and wait for him to come and deal with it." ”
Yuan Shu is here? Although it is not Sun Jian, but he and Yuan Shu are now in danger, Qiu Ming doesn't think that he will be so kind to save himself. In other words, isn't his father seriously ill and dying, why does this guy still have the leisure to come to Qian County?
If Qiu Ming was puzzled, Zhou Jing and Xu You were shocked. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family were powerful, and Xu You had also shown favor to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu many times, hoping to tie the two brothers to the chariot of the Marquis of Hefei, but they were all arrogantly refused. Now that the Hou of Hefei has lost his momentum, he can't expect Yuan Shu to come over, so he will definitely not help him when he appears here today.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing shouted: "Leave him alone, continue to attack." ”
At this time, those village owners are at a loss, and the tiger Ben Zhonglang will seem to be a great character, but the Hefei Hou behind Zhou Jing can't be provoked. They looked at each other, observing the reactions of the others, but suddenly found that Cao Ren's troops did not charge at all, but retreated to the periphery of the battlefield, and could evacuate at any time. Now they were even more flustered, and the pace of the attack was greatly slowed.
Zhou Jing also noticed Cao Jiajun's movements, but he didn't have time to question Cao Ren anymore, he just urged and blew the trumpet, and even wanted to step forward and beat the drum in person to boost morale. But before he could touch the drum vertebrae, the smoke and dust on the horizon finally drifted over.
Yan Liangwen on the left, Ji Ling Zhang Xun on the right, a big banner with the word Yuan fluttering high in the middle, the bright armor reflected the sunlight to be eclipsed, the hooves of the horses shook the river to panic, hula, tens of thousands of cavalry swept in, and the heavy sense of oppression made everyone present dare not act rashly anymore.
Xu You and Yuan Shao have been friends since childhood, and seeing him and Yuan Shu together at this moment, they calmed down a little, and were about to step forward to speak, when the Yuan family brothers had become messengers and learned Zhou Jing's reaction. Yuan Shu's eyes widened angrily: "Come on, take down all these people, and those who resist will be killed." Yuan Shao hurriedly added: "Don't hurt the people and horses of Dengzhou." ”
Most of the reckless heroes were born as robbers, and each family carried a lot of lives, and when they saw the aggressive appearance of these cavalrymen, they felt that something was not quite right, and when they heard the word, they immediately scattered. So Yan Liang's knife flew like flying, Wen Chou's arrows rained down, Ji Ling's army surrounded him, and Zhang Xun responded in the middle, either killing or capturing, but he never got one. When the others saw this number, they had to obediently dismount and arrest it.
Zhou Jing saw that his subordinates were gathered together like sheep and dogs driven by the Yuan family's army, and said angrily: "Yuan Highway, the Hefei Marquis Mansion is doing business here, how dare you be so rude?" ”
Yuan Shu sneered: "The Marquis of Hefei is far away in Hefei, how can he come here to do business?" ”
Xu You's eyes rolled: "Yuan Zhonglang is far away in Luoyang, hasn't he come here the same?" ”
Yuan Shu was about to get angry, but Yuan Shao stopped him and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Hefei is the brother of the Son of Heaven, and now he is confined in the city, so it is understandable to send some people out to do things." He immediately changed his face and said: "However, these other idle people and others actually dare to rob and kill the officials of the imperial court, and they will all be beheaded." ”
