When Lu Yao's second military order reached the Xianbei cavalry camp, it was when the barracks were noisy, and almost all the Hu warriors were already in their bodies, swords and guns at the same time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Jizhou rebels did not attack this camp four or five miles away from the headquarters of the Youzhou army, but when some particularly fierce Xianbei people noticed through the sparse antlers on the edge of the camp that several cavalry teams of the rebels were patrolling in the distance, they screamed and wanted to go out of the camp to repel it.

Fortunately, Duan Wenyang, as the main general, still remembered Lu Daoming's order to strictly prohibit his subordinates from acting rashly. For some of the warriors who were particularly eager to fight, he simply gathered them around the fire to eat and drink.

An unknown beast was washed and skinned, and roasted on the fire to make oil, and the smell of meat and burnt smell came out at the same time, which was mouth-watering. The crowd used their knives to cut the half-cooked meat directly and eat it, eat a mouthful of the meat, drink a sip of the bad wine in the skin, and chew a few mouthfuls of multigrain cakes. After eating and drinking comfortably, some people sang a simple Xianbei tune with a hoarse voice, and some people slapped the scabbard to harmonize with it, and the vast artistic conception of the song swirled and undulated, repeatedly.

The character of the Xianbei people is indeed simple and simple, eating and drinking happily, only eating and drinking in their minds, and no one mentions the matter of going out of the camp to fight for a while. Even if the military envoy sent by General Pingbei came closer, everyone didn't care.

Only Duan Wenyang stood up. As the leader of the Xianbei cavalry and the right Sima of the Pingbei Military Mansion, Duan Wenyang has a better understanding of the military government system than everyone else. He knew that the envoys who passed on military orders in the Youzhou army were not ordinary soldiers, but were served by the military officials such as the military staff and Gong Cao, and their status was extraordinary. So he grabbed a few steps early, and instead of answering the order, he raised a beast leg in his hand diligently: "How is it?" Try? ”

Half of the beast's legs were burned by the fire, and half of them were bloody, and the smell of the beast was bloody. The messenger hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Xianbei has a fierce temperament, although he knows how to obey the strong, but he does not understand the etiquette of the Han family, and he lacks the idea of being inferior and inferior. Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to accept that you want to express kindness. Even in the Pingbei Military Mansion, which drove Zhuhu in large numbers, the Xianbei people's reputation was not very good. When General Pingbei of the day took Duan Wenyang as the right Sima of the military government, some people admonished that the Hu clan was too much, and there was a fear of violence and unforeseen things in the future, and Wang Pengzu's fate was a lesson from the past.

However, in these troubled times, the force of the Xianbei people is an extremely important part of the Youzhou army. When dealing with other generations, you must always be extra tolerant. Thinking like this, the military envoy bowed slightly and said: "Thank you for the generous gift of the right Sima, how can the military affairs be urgent, and I will receive it in the future." ”

"That'll do fine." Duan Wenyang took back the beast's leg disappreciatively: "What does the general command?" ”

"The Lord has ordered the whole army to fight. In addition, please go to the camp immediately. ”

"Good!"

Duan Wenyang nodded heavily. He creaked and gnawed down the beast's legs, then pursed his lips and whistled loudly, and the horsemen in the distance immediately brought their horses over when they heard the sound. He turned on his horse and said loudly in Xianbei language: "Wu Xi Tu! Duan Buyan! He Lou contempt! Balie begs to return! Bring your right-hand men with me, and go with me to the general!" Duan Lie Fengda, Helan Ju, Mo Daqian, you guys take a good look at the puppies...... Get ready to fight! ”

The crowd responded with a bang, and the huge camp became more and more noisy. And Duan Wenyang and dozens of other cavalry swept out of the ground, and the momentum was much greater than when the military envoy came, which immediately attracted the attention of the rebels.

Among the rebel cavalry that was originally circling in the distance, some knights rode their horses to the nearest place, and after seeing the movements of the Xianbei people clearly, they divided into several horses and returned. Soon, more knights caught up. They lined up in a formation to follow a hundred or dozens of steps away from Duan Wenyang and the others, but they didn't get closer. From a distance, the two cavalry teams marching side by side were like two fiery snakes flying fast against the ground.

Duan Wenyang's cronies looked in the direction of the enemy horse for a long time, and said eagerly: "The one who rides the yellow horse is their leader. I took ten men and slaughtered him! ”

He Lou was the oldest among the Xianbei cavalry, and his personality was relatively stable, he leaned over and held his bridle for Duan Buyan: "The general's camp is ahead, don't make trouble." ”

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow flew from the rebels' side, passed through the short hair under He Lou's chin, scratched the flesh on the side of his neck, and slanted into the darkness on the other side.

He Lou was furious. He looked sideways to see a rebel knight lowering his horned bow and jerked his horse. Before the horse could turn its head, he turned around and took his arrow, and aimed it at the man.

Perhaps the distance between the two sides was a little farther away, or perhaps the continuous rain had an effect on the elasticity of the bowstring, and the arrow did not hit the enemy horse, but the head of the knight's crotch. The horse screamed and fell on its side. The knight was also brought to the ground, and scrambled to his feet.

The Xianbei people let out a burst of laughter, and they didn't know whether to laugh at the opponent's embarrassment, or to laugh at He Lou's poor archery skills.

In the time when the arrows were back and forth, the base camp of the Youzhou Army had arrived. The rebels halted their horses and stopped out of range of the arrow towers at the edge of the camp. And Duan Wenyang and the others galloped in, and they were no longer entangled with it.

The battle around the base camp has been going on for half an hour. On the barracks that stretched for miles from east to west, the Youzhou army and the rebels were intertwined, fighting repeatedly along the barrier formed by the walled wall or carts. The torches of each side are like swarms of fireflies, intertwined, entangled, gathered, and scattered with each other; Many of the tents were lit by torches thrown by the rebels, and the flames rose into the sky. In the darkness that the firelight failed to reach, a dense stream of arrows whizzed and flew in all directions, adding to the chaos of the night battle.

A Hu Cong led Duan Wenyang through the camp and headed north. From the beginning of the battle, Lu Yao stayed at the camp gate due north to directly direct the battle. And this is the direction of the main attack of the Jizhou army.

When Duan Wenyang climbed the wall, he saw hundreds of thousands of people entangled and fighting in a very small area, and the shouts were deafening. On the clearly divided front between the two armies, blood splattered like rain, and severed arms and stumps flew sideways.

At a battlement a few feet away from Lu Yao, two rebel soldiers suddenly climbed onto the wall, brandishing long-handled broadswords and slashing indiscriminately. A Youzhou soldier was stabbing the enemy below with a spear, and he didn't have time to dodge, and suddenly he was stabbed in the waist, and his internal organs poured out of the huge wound.

Seeing the misery of their companions, the other Youzhou soldiers were all furious, and they pressed their shoulders against the big shield, and pushed forward like a wall, immediately forcing the enemy into the corner. The rest of the men repeatedly stabbed their spears through the gaps between their shields, and with each stabbing blow, a scream came from the other side of the shield wall. A large amount of viscous blood flowed in all directions, reaching Lu Yao's feet, and then seeping down the cracks of the plank.

In the blink of an eye, three people were killed. And this is just an inconspicuous fragment of a long front. The bravery of the Youzhou Army is outstanding, but the Jizhou Army has succeeded one after another, and its tenacity is beyond imagination. This army, with the beggars as its backbone, does not seem to mind its own losses at all; It's like a monstrous beast, even if it's covered in scales, as long as the blood is not exhausted, it will only impact again and again, without the slightest hesitation.

Fang Qinzhi and other civilian subordinates who were accompanying Lu Yao all hid their faces and trembled, and they didn't dare to look at it again. Such a tragic fight took place in front of their eyes, beyond the limit of what they could bear. And these soldiers died bravely, but they were shamelessly bewitched by some traitors...... This is even more heart-wrenching.

"Right Sima." Lu Yao raised his voice.

Duan Wenyang seemed to be also intimidated by the murderous aura. He bowed deeply: "Yes." ”

"The momentum of the rebels has waned. Immediately after dawn, I launched a counterattack. Waiting for the flag of the Chinese army, you lead the Xianbei Assault to attack the flank......" Lu Yao waved his hand: "Chisel through their formation!" ”

Duan Wenyang thought about it and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"The rebels are indeed good at fighting, if we hold the camp for a few more hours, we may be able to consume more of their sharpness......" As a Xianbei general who is proficient in cavalry tactics, judging the right time for battle has almost become Duan Wenyang's instinct. He was very sure that the fighting spirit of the rebels was far from exhausted around dawn, and that if they counterattacked at this time, the Youzhou army would suffer additional losses.

"Nope." Lu Yao categorically rejected Duan Wenyang's suggestion: "A counterattack must be launched at dawn." Subsequently, one hour of fighting, another hour of reorganization. By noon, I would hope that the two armies would be reunited into one and thrown into the next battle. ”

"The next battle?"

"That's right. Bo Sheng's gang suddenly rebelled, and I suspect that there may be Central Plains thieves intervening and fanning the flames...... Even if the other generation didn't intervene, this time our army was in chaos, and the thieves probably wouldn't let go of this God-given opportunity......" Lu Yao stared ahead, pressing the knuckle joints until the joints gurgled softly: "I have ordered Shen Jin and Mai Zeming to attack, and if the thieves come to attack, I want them to stop them with all their might." Before noon, not a single soldier is allowed to come here. ”

"What about after noon?" Duan Wenyang subconsciously asked.

If the army led by the Central Plains thieves Kou Shile and Wang Mi really attacked, the Youzhou army would have no choice but to fight to the death. Moreover, it was a rebellion in which the whole army had not yet completely crossed the river and accounted for more than half of the troops.

The generals behind Lu Yao looked at each other, and they were all solemn. When the Youzhou army was crisscrossing northern Xinjiang, the names of Shi Le and Wang Mi were just names. But since they went south to King Qin, these two giants have rampaged in several states and broken the famous reputation of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, so that the generals have to pay attention to it and have to be extremely vigilant.

Fang Qinzhi knew that Lu Jun was coming on behalf of Shi Le, so he rubbed his hands uneasily and took two steps forward, wanting to say something. He immediately reacted, first of all, Lu Jun's mission must not be mentioned publicly; Secondly, with the ferocity and cunning of the thieves, the so-called proposal of the two families to strike the army is likely to be one of the links in Shile's series of plans...... In other words, the Youzhou army fell into the calculation of King Shile from the beginning!

Seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to him, Fang Qinzhi quietly retreated to his original position.

Duan Wenyang's doubts, the generals' uneasiness, and Fang Qinzhi's hesitation, Lu Yao saw it in his eyes. It was indeed a long time since he had faced such a critical moment, and a strong sense of tension filled Lu Yao's body, making his heart beat faster and his blood surging. This tension is intertwined with the sense of mission of the heavenly generals and the incomparable thirst for victory, which makes Lu Yao fearless and pushes him forward.

Lu Yao laughed: "Lifting a three-foot sword and competing with the world's heroes, the husband should be like this." Do you know that the vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of heroes. ”
