Chapter 49: The Two Heroes (3)

Although Guo Hei was slightly fierce and majestic, it was night after all, and his companions saw him covered in blood under the light of the fire, and they didn't know how much was his and how much was the enemy, and they all thought that he was seriously injured. Guo Heiluo is a few warriors under Shi Le, since Wang Yang died in Tuanbai Valley, he is the first in the army. Once he retreated, even the thieves with the entire front were forced to retreat several steps. Although he roared loudly and shouted for everyone to cheer up again, it was difficult to recover the decline for a while.

Shile rebelled as a herdsman, and at first his companions were only eight people. It has only been two years, but it can gather thousands of people and horses to crisscross the north and south of the river. Of course, this is because Shi Lezhi is very strong and can win people's death, but in essence, it is all because the imperial court has acted perversely over the years, forcing the people to live in poverty.

That's how Guo Heiluo looks. He was originally an ordinary fisherman in Yanzhou, but because the whole family was brutally tortured and killed in the military disaster in the second year of Tai'an, he became a thief in anger. Among the so-called "eighteen horsemen" under Shi Le, more than half of them were forced to live before they fell into the grass. And these people are often particularly fierce when fighting against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Two cronies came up to persuade Guo Heiluo to bandage his wounds after the battle, and he slapped him twice and knocked him to the ground: "Fuck, I won't retreat!" I won't retreat! I'm going to kill them all! ”

In the thunderous roar, Guo Heiluo once again put on the battle and rushed to the forefront of the confrontation between the two armies. He danced like a windmill with the iron in his hand, loosening the beggars' defenses. But the result was the same, and after a few moments, he retreated in disarray. There were a lot of scars on her body now, and a few of them almost killed her. Although he still had plenty of energy when he roared loudly, he really couldn't fight anymore for a while.

The beggar army is indeed a tough and daring force, far beyond the reach of ordinary Jin troops. However, Shile's troops were limited by the terrain and could not deploy their troops, so they could only fight hard, and in a short period of time, they lost more than 200 men.

With Guo Heiluo's second retreat, the originally fierce battle gradually eased. After more than two hours of non-stop fighting, Shile's subordinates finally felt tired. Their physical strength was on the verge of reaching its limit at this time, and the mental pressure brought by continuous combat was gradually wearing down their fighting spirit.

Without anyone giving any order, Shile's men and the beggar army invariably stepped back a little, separated by spears and halberds. After still raising their guarded weapons, the dirty faces stared at each other with hatred. At such a distance, you can even hear the other party's gasps, and hear the murderers who killed their comrades talking in their familiar native accents.

"Big brother, if you continue to fight like this, the brothers will suffer heavy damage!" Hu Yanmo was the first general to lead his troops in a fierce battle with this beggar army, and his losses in troops were slightly greater than Guo Hei's. He returned to Shile a little anxiously, flicked his helmet, pointed to the raging flames in the city, and said, "Why can Jisang's soldiers and horses plunder to their heart's content, and we have to gnaw on this hard bone?" ”

Huyan is the surname Hu, and there are also those who write Huyan, and the four surnames of Xubu, Qiulin, and Lan are the famous family of the Southern Xiongnu. After hundreds of years of relocation after the Xiongnu entered the fortress, many of the former famous kings and chieftains were broken, and their descendants were in the people, and Huyanmo was one of them. Even if this former Xiongnu nobleman was reduced to a thief who robbed his house, his words were still arrogant and domineering, and he did not take Ji Sang, the big boss of the Hebei group of robbers, in his eyes.

But Shile was able to restrain him.

Hu Yanmo shouted nonsense, but Shi Le didn't speak, just squinted his eyes and looked Hu Yanmo up and down. His eyes were extremely deep, and when his eyes narrowed, he gave people an unfathomable feeling: "Huyan, have I ever ordered the troops to be withdrawn?" ”

Hu Yanmo was stunned: "Big brother, I don't mean anything else, it's just ......"

Shi Le suddenly shouted sharply and asked, "Have I ever ordered the troops to be withdrawn?" ”

Huyanmo replied loudly: "No! ”

"Since I have never ordered the troops to be withdrawn, how dare you, as a commander general, come back without permission? Is it cowardice? Shi Le drew his knife and slashed at a wall beside him, and suddenly sparked: "Go!" Unless I give the order to withdraw my troops, even if all of them die in battle, I must not take half a step back! ”

Hu Yanmo only felt that the cold sweat around his body soaked his armor, and he roared wildly: "Obey!" "Turn around and rush back to the battlefield.

Shi Le gritted his teeth and looked at the surrounding terrain, and pointed at another road in the distance with the tip of his knife: "Zhang Yue!" You lead five hundred men in that direction, and if there is fire there, go through the fire; If there's an enemy there, kill them! He said word by word: "Our time is very short, no matter how big the casualties are, within two moments, we must take the Jianchun Gate!" ”

Zhang Yue is also one of the "Eighteen Horsemen" who started Shi Le, and also married Shi Le's sister, who is extremely favored and trusted, and dares to speak. Although Shi Le gave the order, Zhang Yue protested: "Big brother! Those soldiers are all the elites carefully trained by Brother Wang Yang over the years, and they are the old foundation of our people! Brother Wang Yang has died in Tuanbai Valley for the Huns, do you want to bury all his hard work in Yecheng this time? ”

These words are inevitably very rude. Shi Leqiang endured anger and looked around left and right, such as Ji Bao, Lu Ming, Liu Zheng, Wu Yu and others, although they did not speak, they all showed a look of approval.

Shi Le knew in his heart that this attack on Yecheng was purely for the Huns in their hearts. Everyone's original wish was: since they were lucky, they could just plunder and retreat. But now, they have experienced two full hours of fierce fighting without stopping. In two hours, they attacked the gates of Yecheng regardless of casualties, and the 3,000 men in their headquarters had quickly plummeted to less than 2,500. And at this moment, around Jianchun Gate, nearly three hundred brothers have been lost before and after! Such a brutal fight did not pay off, and these fierce horse thieves were exhausted.

However, Shile was not reconciled, and he gritted his teeth, as if a fire was about to erupt in his chest. The Jin army in front of him was only a thousand people, and Shi Le's subordinates were more than twice as large. Even if it is a life for a life, after destroying this enemy army, he can still retain the strength of nearly 2,000 people, which is enough to take Jianchun Gate and completely seal the way for the Jin army outside the city to enter the reinforcements!

"If Wang Yang is still here, how can he be as timid and useless as you?" Shi Le raised his foot and kicked Zhang Yue down. He understood that Zhang Yue would say this, and it was definitely not his personal meaning. He gritted his teeth and glared at the generals around him: "All you think about is money and women, what I want is Yecheng!" Yecheng! ”

He clenched his fists and roared, "Are you willing to run around for the rest of your life?" Are you willing to be treated like a thief forever? Do you understand? If we only want to plunder today, then we will always be just horse thieves! If it is boiling today, it is the time for dragons and snakes to rise together, and I, Shile Shilong, also want to do a great career! I want Yecheng! As long as Yecheng is in hand, we ......"

Zhang Yue rolled over and got up, and hissed: "If it's for you, big brother, we won't say anything even if we shed the last drop of blood." But have you thought about it, big brother, even if you take Yecheng, you will be in charge! ”

As soon as Zhang Yue said this, Shi Le's face changed instantly. He looked around at the people around him and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He supported the ground with a long knife, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Yue, I was originally a tenant in Wuxiang, Bingzhou, and I was sold to Chiping as a herdsman. Thanks to the promotion of the big boss, he was able to gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, and lived a happy life for a few years. Even my last name was given by the master of Jida...... If you want to provoke me and the master of Jida, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood. ”

"But ......" Before Zhang Yue's words fell, Shi Le swung his knife and slashed. The sharp blade slashed against Zhang Yue's cheek, cutting off a few strands of his hair. Zhang Yue's face turned pale, his lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to say more.

Shi Le said coldly: "Zhang Yue, you should step down." Zhixiong, peacock, you bring people to support! Be quick"

The peacock is also a famous warrior under Shile. He glanced at Zhixiong and said loudly, "Yes! ”

Shi Le was about to give another order, when suddenly Zhao Lu, one of the "Eighteen Cavalry" and responsible for reconnoitring the enemy, came quickly, knelt on the ground and said: "Chief, countless torches are coming from outside the Jianchun Gate, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses comes one after another!" I'm afraid that the whole army of beggars will gather! ”

"The whole army of the beggar army gathers ......" The expressions of the generals on the left and right were shocked, and they said in unison: "Come so fast!" ”

The Yecheng Tun army has been completely defeated, and that kind of army with no combat effectiveness, even if it is 100,000, is not enough to fear. The only people inside and outside Yecheng who can save the situation for the Jin people are the beggar army. This is clear to everyone present. But they all thought that as long as the news of Sima Teng's conferment of the head was spread, the army formed by the exiles, such as Begging, would inevitably disperse in a hurry. But no one expected that the beggar army was not only not chaotic, but also had caused huge trouble to its own side.

but three hundred of them were against their own enemies on the wall; and the two fierce generals who were able to stop Hu Yanmo and Guo Heiluo from attacking fiercely, there were nearly 1,000 people...... At this moment, has this fierce army of displaced people been killed? Their actions are so fast!

Shi Le took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Can you see clearly? Sure enough, there are so many people? ”

Zhao Lu Shicai specially climbed a high platform near Jianchun Gate to investigate, and he could see it with his own eyes. Outside the city, at least thousands of pine torches kept approaching the Jianchun Gate, like a fire dragon circling back and forth. And the thunderous sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and the sound of a large number of soldiers running against their armor are even more distinct! He bowed his head and said: "There is no lie, there are a lot of people and horses!" ”

Shi Le spun around sharply and struck back and forth a few times, revealing a hesitant expression.

During this time, the garrison he arranged at Zhongyang Gate also sent someone to report: "The army outside the city has gathered!" Immediately, the guards of Guangyang hurriedly reported: "There are cavalry that have reached the city and turned and headed east, with no less than thousands of troops!" ”

"Big brother, the beggar army is all from Bingzhou who followed Sima Teng to the east, and they want to avenge Sima Teng, which is much more difficult to deal with than the official army of the Great Jin Dynasty. Why do we have to carry ...... death" Zhang Yue couldn't help but speak again: "Big brother, even if we don't mention the matter of being in charge, our strength alone is not enough to fight hard with the beggar army!" ”

Shile gave him a cold look and was silent.

At this moment, the situation in Yecheng was completely out of his control, and Rao was able and decisive with Shile, and he also felt a sense of powerlessness surging like a tide. In Yecheng, Jisang's troops were busy burning, killing, and plundering, and these rabble had no intention of cooperating with the battle. On the eastern city wall, Lu Yao of the Jinyang Army confronted Xie'an with hundreds of people, vaguely threatening his family's retreat. The fighting power of the beggar army is far stronger than they imagined, and outside the city, their main force has been fully mobilized......

Shi Le sighed and said to Liu Zheng: "If you go to find a report from the great master, you will say that the Jin reinforcements are so great, and I Shi Le can't resist it." It's going, it's fighting, please give the order as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Liu Zheng took a few people and went on horseback. It is also embarrassing to say, because Ji Sang himself is also busy looting, and now no one in Shile's department knows where the leader of the Hebei horse thieves is. Liu Zheng wants to find where Ji Sang is, it's really not that easy, and the order Yunyun is even more talking.

Liu Zheng has gone, and the rest of the generals are still waiting with bated breath for Shi Le's order.

Shile held the hilt of his sword tightly and was silent for a long time before he said, "Let the brothers take it down." The situation is so chaotic tonight, even if the Jin people enter the city, they don't dare to act rashly. Urge your brethren to prepare for tomorrow ......" he stomped his foot: "Wait for the order from the great master of Jida, and then make a decision!" ”

Seeing a faint glimmer of color in the eastern sky, the war around Jianchun Gate finally came to an end.

In the field outside the city, Tian Lan, the captain of the begging military academy, stuck the torch into the soil, and then collapsed to the ground, panting heavily: "I can't run...... I can't run! He suddenly remembered something, jumped up and patted the shoulder of the soldier next to him: "Order, don't extinguish the torch!" ”

Looking around, the dark plains are lit with fires as bright as stars. According to the art of war, there is a pine torch for every ten people marching at night, which is held by the chief. However, Tian Lan's group of men and horses each held two torches, and with a force of 500 people, they disguised an army of 10,000 people!

After all, the beggar army was scattered and stationed, and it was impossible for the whole army to be dispatched in just two hours. The people who flaunted their might outside the seven gates of Yecheng were only Tian Lan's 500 people from beginning to end.
