Chapter 450: The Alarm Bell Rings

The wolf smoke rising into the sky did not stop the pace of the Qin army in the slightest, and the torrent of iron horses like a tide surging in, in their eyes, this sentry tower was just a small stone seed on the way forward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the torrent crossed the area, the stone towers that had once stood tall had been reduced to rubble.

Xiao Kai whipped the horse desperately and ran away, he didn't even dare to look back at the pursuers behind him, the nostrils of the horse that stepped down spewed thick white gas, but the pace was getting slower and slower.

The sound of hooves behind him was like thunder, the torrent of iron horses was getting closer and closer, Xiao Kai stumbled and almost fell, Xiao Kai sighed, jumped off the horse, and patted the horse stock, "Good brother, run for your life!" ”

The war horse raised its head to the sky and neighed, and did not leave, but turned around in a circle, and then came back, lowered its huge horse's head, and snorted heavily on Xiao Kai's neck, and the horse's head kept rubbing his face, and although the four hooves were swaying restlessly on the ground, they had no intention of leaving.

Xiao Kai looked up to the sky and laughed, "Okay, good brother, since you don't give up, then let's fight the last battle of our lives together!" He jumped on his horse, drew his saber from his waist, raised it high, and lightly clamped his legs between his legs, and the horse slowly accelerated forward.

First small steps, then higher and higher.

One man and one horse, charging towards the thousands of troops and horses on the opposite side.

"Kill!" In the thunderous hoof, a person's cry seemed so thin, so weak, but it seemed so heavy, so high-pitched.

The iron cavalry did not stop at all, Xiao Kai was instantly submerged in this tide, when countless cavalry swept by, Xiao Kai and his war horse had no trace of it, and on the messy ground, several pieces of bloodstained and tattered clothes were slowly blown up by the wind, rolling in the air, floating into the distance.

When the cavalry of the Qin army launched a rapid surprise attack, in another place, an army was marching slowly, and a long queue was marching on the mountain road, which was originally stationed in Fangshan, the former army of the Yue Kingdom, the former headquarters of Pan Hong. Now, their generals have been replaced by their original general a few years ago, Luo Yishui.

The speed of the team was not fast, and Luo Yishui seemed a little worried.

"General Luo, what will the Qin people do?" Huang Hao asked.

"If I were Li Zhi, I would naturally use the cavalry to raid quickly, arrive under Kaiping County in the shortest possible time, cut off the connection between the county town and the left army, annihilate the left army, and then the infantry arrive, and then besiege the county town." Luo Yishui said lightly: "Kaiping County is too big, and Xiao Pinggang's Chinese army is not enough to defend such a large city, the result will inevitably be that flaws will be exposed everywhere, and Kaiping County will be broken with one blow." ”

"What if Xiao Zhenggang can quickly withdraw the left army into the city?" Huang Hao asked.

Luo Yishui laughed, "At that time, Xiao Zhenggang has enough troops, and it is not a dream to defend Kaiping County, if he can compete with the Qin people for a few days, then I will be unkind to the Qin people." Closed left and right with Chen Ci, wrapped the dumplings of the Qin people, swallowed them in one gulp, and then came to deal with Xiao Zhenggang. ”

"That's a good note!" Huang Hao's eyes lit up. "Wouldn't it be that we don't even have to give Kaiping County to the Qin people, and we can also defeat the main force of the Qin people's border army once and for all, such a big victory will greatly boost the morale of the people, and will also make your prestige rise to a new height."

"Just think about it!" Luo Yishui didn't have much expectation, "Whether it's Li Zhi or Deng Zhong, they are all old foxes who have been in battle for a long time, where can they not figure out the trick of this, if I guess well, at this moment their iron cavalry is about to be inserted under Kaiping County, Xiao Zhenggang has no chance." And Li Zhi will never give me this opportunity, so everything you envision is just a beautiful vision, and it will not be truly realized in reality. ”

Huang Hao was a little disappointed, "I'm just worried that when the time comes, we will lose Kaiping County, and the Qin people will be difficult to fill and chase after us. ”

Luo Yishui sneered: "You are too worried, after the Qin people take Kaiping County, if they want to go further, he has to consider his logistics and supply problems, winter has just passed, now is the most uncomfortable time for the Qin people, taking Kaiping County, can ease their temporary urgency, and then move forward, the extended supply line will firmly limit their combat ability, this has always been the death hole of the Qin people, if they want to advance, they have to risk total defeat, Li Zhi is a cautious person, he will guard the fruits he has obtained first, Then we will see the situation of our battle with the court before making a decision. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "As for the Tiger Army, can they all come to us and have to say something, hearing the news of our army, the Taiping Army of Shayang County should be eager to launch an attack on Zhengyang County, that is the place where Qin Feng has been coveting, if Zhengyang County is lost, the Taiping Army will directly come to the capital of Yue, do you say that the old man of the Wu family will divide his troops to resist the Taiping Army?" ”

"If the Taiping Army makes a move, it will naturally be good, and it can share our pressure." Huang Hao nodded and said, "But that's also a hungry wolf?" ”

"He's a wolf, I'm a tiger, give him a little sweetness first, and then I'll come back to deal with him when I clean up the old man of the Wu family." Luo Yishui smiled.

In the distance, several sentry spies flew in.

"General Yu, the Qin army, with 20,000 cavalry as the pioneer, has crossed the Xingshan defense line and is rapidly inserting into the area between Kaiping County and the left army, according to the general's orders, we have withdrawn all the brothers at the observation post."

Luo Yishui nodded: "Unexpectedly, although a little disappointed, Xiao Zheng just didn't have time to react, and ordered the whole army to speed up." ”

The army, which was still slowly advancing just now, began to accelerate in an instant, like a swimming spirit snake, rushing towards the land of Vietnam. And almost at the same time, in the other direction, the right army led by Chen Ci also began to accelerate, and the two armies were rapidly leaving Pingjun.

At this time, Kaiping County, everyone is still in the dark, the city gate is wide open, pedestrians are endless, shops are open as usual, for them, the war seems to be very far away, the first two years were so fierce, the Qin people did not directly threaten Kaiping County here, now the war is stable, there are nearly 100,000 troops stationed in front, Kaiping County is of course as stable as Mount Tai.

No one would have imagined that the two defensive armies they had leaned on in front of Gancheng had disappeared without a trace at this moment. And the iron cavalry of the Qin army is already close at hand.

On the main road in front of the city gate, a war horse is rushing towards the city gate like crazy, and a cavalryman on the horse is lying on the horse, looking like he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he lets the horse collide regardless of it, and along the way, he doesn't know how many pedestrians and how many stalls he bumped into.

The screams and cries instantly resounded on the busy avenue.

The war horse did not mean to stop at all, still rushed towards the city gate, several soldiers who were on guard at the city gate were shocked when they saw this, and shouted, several people dragged up the rejection horse that was placed on the side, and quickly threw it on the road, at the city gate, the crowd was crowded, if this war horse was allowed to rush, I was afraid that the number of dead and wounded would not be small.

The horses were quickly placed on the road, and more soldiers rushed over, spears poked out, aimed in front of them, and if the horses tried to force their way through, even if they jumped over the horses, they would be stabbed to death by these spears.

The horses are obviously well-trained, and they will not feel anything about the people who block the road, but they have a natural sensitivity to this kind of rejection of the cavalry, and in the long neighing of the sky, they quickly slowed down, and they could stop before the rejection of the horse, but the knight on the horse, at the moment when the horse stopped, was thrown off the horse and fell heavily behind the rejection.

The guards of the city gate rushed up, ready to hold down the soldier, but as soon as they made a move, they found that the soldier on the ground was weak, his eyes were closed, and he had no sense of resistance at all.

"Isn't this Zhang Xiaoyi, a personal soldier of the Great Marshal's Mansion?"

A mouthful of cold water sprayed on Zhang Xiaoyi's face, the soldier who desperately ran back woke up slowly, they were two people, but not long after returning, they had already caught up with the Qin cavalry behind them, unable to get rid of it, the other person gave his war horse to Zhang Xiaoyi, one person and two horses, and quickly came back to report the news, Zhang Xiaoyi ran all the way and killed a war horse, which was worthy of returning to Kaiping County.

"Hurry, hurry, report to the marshal, the right army Chen Ci's department is nowhere to be found, the people of Qin have already called, the cavalry of the Qin State, it is the cavalry of the Qin State!" Zhang Xiaoyi shouted with all his strength.

When the officer heard this, his face changed greatly, and while turning around and running towards the city, he shouted hoarsely: "Close the city gate, ring the alarm bell, the people of the Qin State are coming." ”

Some soldiers dragged Zhang Xiaoyi to follow the officer and ran in the direction of the marshal's mansion, and more people flocked to the city gate, waving the spears in their hands, and the people who were crowded at the city gate were scattered and fled.

This is the first time since the start of the war that the alarm bell of Kaiping County has been sounded.

When the alarm bell rang, the whole city seemed to freeze in this moment, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the place where the bell rang.

Xiao Zhenggang, the commander of the Vietnamese army, was reviewing documents in the public hall, and when he heard the bell, he was stunned, threw away the pen in his hand, and walked out of the lobby quickly. (To be continued.) )
