Chapter 878: Panicked Fu Jian (Asking for Subscription)
Beggars!
In the troubled times, the dreams of this group of people seem extremely slim, even if they are recruited again and again, following a so-called Ming Lord to tear the earth and seal the king, in the end they still fail to fight through the rolling torrent of history
In addition to Mo Xiaobai's plan to use the gambling contract to let Huan Yi help him recruit people in Jingxiang, Huainan and other places, Mo Xiaobai hoped to collect the beggar army in the Central Plains this time.
He may not be able to eat alone, but there are so many lords in the entire alliance, and he thinks that he can accommodate all the beggars.
As for the Beifu Army, which seemed to be the strongest in this era, Mo Xiaobai didn't have much interest after seeing it once.
It's not that the Beifu Army is not strong, it can only be said that the Xie family has achieved the Beifu Army and also played the Beifu Army.
Is the Beifu army strong?
There is no doubt that the single-type soldiers and horses, which are mainly foot soldiers, and the mixed army of the former Qin horses and infantry can still hold a steady position, and the Beifu army is definitely not bad in terms of combat effectiveness.
Not to mention that in the Beifu army, there is also the future Song Emperor Liu Yu of the Southern Dynasty, who once created a battlefield myth of one enemy and a thousand.
However, the Beifu army is strong, but just like Xie Xuan will follow Xie An's example, the Beifu army is also too close to Xie Xuan. However, Xie Xuan used gentle and encouraging political means to stabilize the Beifu Army, which directly led to the Beifu Army becoming closer to politics and becoming less pure.
When the military is excessively involved in politics, the harm is far greater than its combat effectiveness, and the probability of defection is also much greater.
If not, how could the Beifu Army built by the Xie family suddenly defect to the Huan family many years later.
and so on, and then staged the drama of Liu Yu seeking the country again.
The Beifu Army has had serious defects since the establishment of the army, and Mo Xiaobai is very taboo about this, let alone bring this kind of sprouts back to Big Dream City.
In contrast, the righteous soldiers trained by Zang Ba are no less than the Beifu Army, or even better, in terms of the foundation of the army and the strength of the foundation.
Of course, the Beifu Army must also have its own uniqueness in training and combat arrangements, and Mo Xiaobai had already asked Worm Xia Wan to take the title of liaison officer to 'make an unannounced visit'.
Take its essence and remove its dregs, Mo Xiaobai does not seek to let the soldiers and horses of Big Dream City rise to a higher level, and it is worth the trip if he can bring some insights to Cordyceps Xia Wan.
………
That night, 戌 hour.
Thanks to the top war horses of Big Dream City and the blessing of Xu Huang's own characteristics, although he took the big road, it only took half a day to reach his destination.
"General, half a mountain in front of you is the east of Shouchun City, and I checked along the way and found two mountain roads."
As the army gradually approached, the cavalry and chariot army led by Xu Huang had slowed down, and the sentinels sent out brought back the news, which made Xu Huang's eyes shine.
"Is there a chariot or a horse mark?"
"The old seal is looming, but the new horseshoe print has not yet been found."
After getting the sentinel's reply again, a smile appeared on Xu Huang's face.
I hurried up on my own, and my efforts were not in vain.
"Lead the way, follow me to see the two mountain paths."
Knowing that Fu Jian hadn't come back yet, Xu Huang also divided which mountain road Fu Jian would come out of, and followed the sentinel to continue walking, and after two kilometers around, two forks in the road that converged at the foot of the mountain appeared in front of Xu Huang's eyes.
Counting the avenue behind you, there are exactly three forks at your feet, and the straight cliffs are separated by the forks.
"Go to the front and light the torches."
The sky was dark, and Xu Huang couldn't see far, waving his hand to signal the two teams of men behind him to enter the mountain with torches.
A moment later, torches were lit on each of the two mountainsides, and Xu Huangce could finally see some of the outlines of the mountains as soon as he stepped forward.
The two mountain roads were gone, and Xu Huang immediately ordered the artillery to be stationed in the left side of the mountain.
The reason why he chose this place is also based on the analysis of the existing terrain, because there are more rocks on the other side of the mountain, which seems to be more suitable for ambush at night, but Fu Jian will not choose this side if he thinks about it.
However, just in case, Xu Huang still divided a thousand horses on the other side of the mountain, and if he couldn't judge correctly, he could also remedy it in time.
Arrange the soldiers and horses, and the rest is just waiting.
Xu Huang couldn't tell how long he would have to wait, but according to the itinerary of the main road, once Fu Jian's army retreated, no matter how difficult it was, it should be at this time, after all, Shouchun City itself is not too far from the riverbank.
Standing on a low hill, Xu Huang is like a tiger and leopard waiting for its prey, staring at the distance of the trail without blinking.
In order not to startle the snake, he even took back the horse.
This is another half an hour.
When the soldiers attached to the mountain felt a slight vibration, Xu Huang also stood up at the same time.
"General, someone."
"Hmm."
"Listen to the movement, no less than thousands of rides."
"It's not slow."
Xu Huang grinned, his right hand raised, but quickly pressed down again.
It was a gesture he gave the order, to prepare for battle, but not to make a movement and expose it in advance.
After a few more breaths, the shouts in my ears and the gallop of horses' hooves were already very clear. By the light of the moon, he could already see his prey.
Thousands of cavalry, lined up in a long line, were burrowing under his nose.
"General, are you up?"
The little colonel next to him asked softly, and Xu Huang just shook his head lightly.
The purpose of his trip was to block the main army of the former Qin, but although it was an elite cavalry at the moment, the number was not even five thousand.
Xu Huang didn't know about Fu Jian's own escape, so at this moment he was still thinking about whether it was worth exposing for the sake of this cavalry.
However, when the three thousand cavalry galloped wildly, it would not give him much time to think about it.
Seeing that forty percent of the cavalry had already passed, Xu Huang finally nodded: "Fight quickly, don't let this cavalry turn back to Shouchun." ”
"Fire!"
Xu Huang's final order was finally given.
And as soon as he gave the order, the chariot that had already been ready immediately emitted a dazzling flash.
Aim at a curved mountain road of nearly three or four hundred meters, and launch a war artillery attack at the same time.
"Boom Boom"
As soon as the cannon fired, it was a landslide and the ground cracked.
As a round of shelling passed, Xu Huang slapped his horse and rushed down the mountain with his Xuanjia cavalry.
In the mountain road, the front section of the former Qin cavalry.
Fu Jian, who has always insisted on walking in the forefront, turned around at this moment, his eyes were full of horror and luck.
Luckily, he was still alive.
What is frightening is that the Jin army really has heavenly help.
The thunder that exploded in his ears was something Fu Jian had never seen in his life.
And the screams for help of the people behind him on their backs told him how terrifying this kind of heavenly power was.
If he hadn't run faster, he would be lying down now.
Fu Jian's eyes were already filled with fear, and the Kip Stone messenger next to him showed a desperate look.
The thunder is coming!
This time it wasn't ten miles away, it was blown up directly behind him.
With a "clang", the messenger fell from his horse.
And the movement of his fall will also wake Fu Jian up.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Don't look back, Fu Jian just wants to stay away from the thunder at the moment, a little farther away.
However, when he galloped all the way to the fork, he just collided with the cavalry coming down from the other side.
It couldn't be more coincidental!
