Chapter 176: Capturing the Twin Generals
"Hurry up and !!" Qin Wei rode on his horse, urging desperately. Behind him, he led the cavalry of the brigade to gallop across the wilderness, leaving smoke and dust all the way.
"How could this merchant be so reckless!" While hurrying away, he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Before Shang Ji decided to take the initiative to pursue, he crushed the messenger given by Qin Wei.
The so-called messenger is two spells that are somehow related. Within a certain range, as long as one side is damaged, the other side will also be broken accordingly. It can be used as a simple messaging medium.
Of course, this method is very backward and does not convey the content of the message. Only suitable for a fixed plan to do a good job, to send a simple signal.
After receiving the signal from Shangji, Qin Wei was overjoyed, and immediately led the army that was ready to go to the predetermined location to reinforce it.
Although Qin Wei was also quick at that time, he was not panicked. He also had some understanding of Shang Ji's strength, and knew that Tomunu Bo would not be able to help Shang Ji for a while.
However, halfway through, he ran into a herald sent by Shang Ji. Knowing that, Shang Ji actually led more than 1,000 troops to take the initiative to break away from the defensive position and go to pursue Tomnubo.
Qin Wei was immediately shocked!
1,000 against 2,000, most of them are pawns, and the chance of a pawn win in a field encounter is too low!
"Quick! Hurry up! Those who have fallen behind keep up on their own! Qin Wei shouted, and his speed increased by three points.
Although he was dissatisfied with Shang Ji's recklessness, Qin Wei was also worried about Shang Ji and the comfort of the Yan soldiers who came forward. The 5,000 cavalry at the time of the camp were now less than half of what they had left behind.
According to this way of marching, when the battlefield is reached, whether the army can fight or not can still have half of it left.
However, at this time, Qin Wei didn't have the heart to pay attention to this issue. In his heart, this ambush mission must have failed, and the most important task now is to save the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Shang Ji Department, and not let them be wiped out. Yan and Hu fought, and the first army to be wiped out was the Yan army, which was too bad, and the news would definitely greatly affect the morale of the whole army.
"General, general, after this hillside, it is the place where Shang Sima fought!" The herald gasped and pointed to a hillside not far away.
"...... Huh" took a deep breath to calm down the breath disorder caused by the frantic hurry.
Qin Wei shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
Although some of the soldiers were already a little exhausted from the journey, their fighting spirit was still high, and they shouted in unison with exhausted voices.
"Kill!"
Qin Wei shouted violently and rushed over first.
More than 2,000 Yan cavalry immediately followed behind the "Boom ......", and the earth trembled a little.
Crossing the small hill and looking around, sure enough, there were two armies fighting not far ahead.
"Hold on, brothers, I'm here to help you!" Don't take a closer look, Qin Wei's luck internal force shouted loudly.
Shang Ji raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the cavalry of the Yan army was rushing down from the hillside in a majestic manner.
"Reinforcements have arrived, follow me to kill the enemy!" Shang Ji burst out and reflexively killed the enemy!
"Kill!" The combat effectiveness of the Yan soldiers, who were already full of morale, immediately increased by two percent, and there was even a strange phenomenon of a single sword and shield soldier chasing the cavalry and cutting it.
On the contrary, seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the Yan army, the Donghu cavalry, which was already demoralized and panicked, was even more chaotic. Some people intend to fight to the death with Yan Jun; Some people hope to temporarily withdraw their troops and fight again in Japan; More of them are like headless flies.
"Retreat! Fall back!! ”
Seeing Qin Wei leading the cavalry to kill majestically, the red fox suddenly felt bad. There was no hope of rescuing Tomnubo, and he was ambushed by the enemy, and it was obvious that this trip was planted.
In this case, it is better not to give the order to retreat than to annihilate your own army. As for Tomchi's anger, let's wait until we have escaped this catastrophe before considering this issue!
"The thief is gone!" Seeing that the red fox wanted to escape, Shang Ji, who was always keeping an eye on the dynamics of the battlefield, immediately shouted and chased after him.
When the red fox saw that he was being targeted by Shangji, his soul was furious, and he desperately beat the war horse, intending to escape.
He remembered vividly how Shang Ji beat Tomunubo in a fancy way. His own strength is not even as good as Tomunbo, how dare he fight when he sees Shang Ji killing.
Immediately ignore the Donghu soldiers who were stuck in the quagmire, and leave with their horses. Knowing that Qin Wei's arrival meant that the overall situation on the frontal battlefield had been decided, Shang Ji immediately went to chase the red fox with confidence.
One ran and the other chased, and the two quickly broke away from the battlefield.
Shang Ji's war horse was not very good, but it was just the standard equipment of the Yan Army Sima level, plus the additional towing of Tomnubo who was unconscious, so the speed was far less than that of the red fox.
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther away, Shang Ji was in a hurry. Hurriedly took out his bow and arrows, bent his bow and arrows, and shot at the red fox.
As a high-level general in the Donghu army, although the red fox is not known for his military strength, he still has the ability to take care of the house. The riding skills are quite exquisite, and when he saw Shang Ji shooting arrows, he immediately swayed left and right on the horse, and even drilled under the horse's belly from time to time.
Under his control, the war horse is also extremely flexible, like a macaque, difficult to aim.
Light arrows and fast arrows can hit the target, but the strength is insufficient, and it is easy to be taken by the vest on the war horse. Even if it penetrates the vest, a slight injury can hardly affect the running of the war horse.
The heavy arrow was too easy to dodge, and Shang Ji tried the heavy arrow twice, but he consumed a lot, but he couldn't hit a single arrow.
After shooting a few more arrows, but still no effect was achieved, Shang Ji was about to continue the attack, and when he touched the quiver, there was only one arrow left in the quiver.
Shang Ji paused, and his archery posture also stopped.
The red fox, who was fleeing in front of him, was immediately happy when he saw this.
"Hey, boy, there's no arrows! Now it's my turn! As he spoke, the red fox bent his bow and arrows, and shot at Shang Ji reflexively.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, he directly swung his bow and knocked away the incoming arrows.
Seeing that Shang Ji was not injured, the red fox was not discouraged, his original intention was to rely on the arrows to delay Shang Ji's pursuit and create more space for escape.
In this way, the red fox fled, occasionally shooting a few arrows in reflex, and the distance between the two became farther and farther away.
"Hugh is rampant!" As if he was provoked, just when the red fox reflexively shot the arrow again, Shang Ji suddenly burst into a shout, quickly bent his bow and set up an arrow, and the last arrow shot at the red fox with majestic energy.
The red fox was so frightened that he didn't care about shooting the arrow in his hand, threw down his bow and arrow, and reflexively ran into the horse's belly and dismounted.
"Bang!" The arrow went over the horse's head and landed on the ground in front of it, leaving a one-foot-square crater.
"This thief is so cunning!" Seeing this scene, cold sweat broke out on the red fox's forehead, and he kept cursing in his heart.
"Thankfully, I was ...... Forehead? Before the red fox could rejoice, he felt a strong force, and the galloping horse seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and immediately rolled to the ground.
The strong inertia directly threw the red fox several feet away, and did not stop until it hit a rock.
"Ahem......"
Hit by rocks, oppressed by horses, and sliding on the ground for several feet, the red fox only felt dizzy, spit out a mouthful of blood, barely opened his eyes, and glanced at it, and saw a spear stuck in the body of the war horse not far away.
"Throw, shoot?" Before the red fox's trance brain could react, he only heard a whistling sound, and then with a "bang", the red fox rolled his eyes and followed in Tomnubo's footsteps.
casually discarded the longbow that had been broken due to excessive use, pulled out the spear and found the rope to tie up the unconscious Tomnubo, Shang Ji only felt weak and his limbs were sore, and he sighed helplessly, and sat down on the spot and waited for Qin Wei's army to respond.
