Fu Song

Chapter 388
After all, the Qingyuan Army is a serious Forbidden Army, and it is also the most powerful army on Guangnan West Road. As Hu Mao is Tao Hongyuan's confidant, this army will naturally not be owed wages or not equipped enough weapons In such a situation, at this moment when they are launching their formation and starting to attack, the formation is not comparable to that of the tribal barbarians like Leihuodong and Xialeidong.

A series of large shields were lifted up, covering the front, rear, left, and right heads, like a turtle shell.Accompanied by the beating of drums, this huge tortoise shell slowly pushed forward. Every dozens of steps, the whole team stopped and began to straighten out the formation, so as not to be disjointed due to inconsistent speed during the process of advancing. The archers took advantage of it.

Such an offensive lineup, even the blows of the god arm bow, can also be carried. The only thing to be afraid of is the blows of ballistas, eight-ox crossbows, or trebuchets. Teams obviously don't have one.

In fact, when the Qingyuan army launched an attack, the camp suddenly fell silent, not to mention these heavy weapons, even the god arm bow was quiet.

Dozens of steps forward, when the bow and arrow had already passed the strike range, the tortoise shell scattered with a bang, and the shields quickly moved to the front of the team, forming a shield wall.

At this time, they were no more than ten steps away from the fence of Cen Zhong's camp. The soldiers standing in the front could even clearly see inside the fence. moat.

This distance should have been the distance that the opponent tried his best to attack and stop, but there was still no movement in the camp.

The attacking Qingyuan army was also worried, not knowing what tricks the opponent was playing, but under their slight hesitation, there was a sudden change in the camp.

A huge flag was raised, and a civil official in the purple robe official uniform of the third rank of the Song Dynasty suddenly appeared on the high platform in the middle of the camp, and accompanied by this high-ranking official was a whole set of ceremonial guards.

The ceremonial guard of Guangnan Xidao recruiting envoys in the Song Dynasty.

In the ranks of the Qingyuan Army, there was a burst of commotion.

"This is the place where Cen Chongcen, the envoy of Guangnan Xidao of the Great Song Dynasty, is stationed. Brothers of the Qingyuan Army, do you want to rebel?" In front of the camp, a dozen large shields stood up. Behind the shields, There was the uniform roar of a dozen or so people.

The Qingyuan army went up and down, turned their heads in unison, and looked at Hu Mao behind them under the Hu character banner.

Among the team, some officers who knew the inside story panicked, they never expected such a situation to happen.

"Don't listen to the bandits talking nonsense. They are bandits. The Qingyuan Army was ordered to suppress the bandits!" An officer shouted hoarsely: "Attack, move forward, move forward, those who are afraid of the battle, beheaded! Those who retreat, beheaded!" !"

Under the threat of military discipline, under the impatience of Hu Mao's confidants, and under the pressure of the supervising team's swords and guns, the Qingyuan Army moved forward again, but this time, the momentum suddenly dropped by an unknown amount.

Is the other party a bandit?

Ordinary soldiers can't be serious about their confirmation, but they still recognize the whole set of guards of honor.

As they stepped forward again, rows of soldiers wearing armor appeared in their field of vision in the camp.

Qingyuan Army stopped hesitantly again.

If the thieves and bandits really had such equipment, then Guangnan Xidao might not have a foothold for officers and soldiers like them.

"Brothers of the Qingyuan Army, Hu Mao colluded with the Jiaozhi rebels and tried to assassinate the recruiter. Are you going to follow him all the way to the dark? This is a treasonous crime, and the family will be wiped out!" came from the camp again. There was a roar: "The recruiter has the virtue of being good at life. I know that you have been deceived by Hu Mao. Now put down your weapons and surrender. The recruiter will ignore the previous crimes. Now fight back and reward you for your merits after the battle."

In the formation of the Qingyuan Army, the commotion could no longer be suppressed.

Because they just saw the Cochin army for real.

The Song Dynasty and the Cochin Army have fought several times over the years, and the Qingyuan Army has also been on the battlefield at the beginning. Although most of the veterans who fought at that time have retired, there are still not a few in the army who recognize the Cochin Army. .

If it was said that there were some doubts in my heart before, but now I believe it almost to [-]%.

"Don't listen to the bandits' nonsense, sow discord, attack, attack the camp, kill one enemy, reward ten guan, kill the thief leader, reward a hundred guan, and be promoted to three ranks!" Hu Mao was furious and galloped forward. .

He knows that he can no longer let the other party talk nonsense. At this moment, the only way to attack is to launch an attack. As long as the two sides fight, the swords and soldiers will meet, and the blood will be sprayed. No bullshit rhetoric will work. Death is my death, there is still time, and there are still thoughts.

Hu Mao took the lead, and his subordinates and confidants followed immediately. With a bang, the fence was knocked open, and the Qingyuan Army crossed the fence and entered the camp.

Under the high platform, dozens of shield-bearing soldiers surrounded Cen Zhong tightly.

Cen Zhong sighed: "It still doesn't work, this Qingyuan army is already rotten!"

He looked extremely disappointed.

"No!" The one-eyed dragon Liu Yiguo's eyes were shining with excitement: "Recruiter, your move is very effective, and now most of the soldiers of the Qingyuan Army have long lost the vigor they had at the beginning. !"

"Useful?" After all, Cen Zhong was not like Liu Yiguo, he had been immersed in the army for a long time, so he was most sensitive to such things.

"It's useful!" Liu Yiguo laughed and said, "Recruiting envoys, you just watch how we win more with less? The last general is gone, you go and stay behind."

"I'm here to cheer you up!" Cen Zhong said with a push of both hands, pushing away the shield hands on both sides.

Liu Yiguo's one-eyed eye rolled a few times. The gap between Cen Zhong and him was too great. He didn't have the guts to refute, let alone say that you are only making trouble by staying here. He can only compete with the team next to Cen Zhong. With a wink, the man nodded again and again, indicating that he understood what Liu Yiguo meant.

Only then did Liu Yiguo cup his hands, turned around and held the knife, and walked forward with a murderous look.

What Liu Yiguo said was right. Cen Zhong's operation had indeed dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Qingyuan Army.

Although the soldiers are still moving forward with their commander, there is no doubt that the flag flying in the camp representing the third-rank senior officials puts great pressure on them.You must know that the control of their Qingyuan army is only a mere fifth rank, and they are still a military officer.

They saw with their own eyes that the ruler of the fifth rank nodded and bowed to a civil servant of the seventh rank!
And now, are they actually going to kill a third-rank official?

Although the system is well-spoken, everyone is not stupid. By this time, they have roughly guessed some reasons.Under such circumstances, can you still count on them to do their best?

Quite a few of them were so active that their eyes were already rolling around and looking around, ready to find a way out at any time.

Only Hu Mao's confidantes will recklessly attack the opposite side.

Soldiers who have experienced the battlefield are most sensitive to the invisible and intangible morale. This entry and exit is reflected in the battle scene, that is, the army in the camp with fewer numbers pushes the Qingyuan Army back. .

Hu Mao was shocked and angry. If he failed in this matter, it was self-evident what would happen to him.

However, blessings never come singly, and misfortunes never come singly. Just when Hu Mao was about to lead a team to attack in person, there was a dense sound of horseshoes coming from the direction of Longying Cave. Hu Mao turned his head and his expression changed suddenly.

Under the banners, the Cochin soldiers led by Ruan Qingzheng were fleeing in embarrassment, and behind them, more than a hundred black armored cavalry were wantonly killing those Cochin soldiers who fell behind, and further away, groups of black armored cavalry The pawn is approaching here.

The International Qing Dynasty also lost!

It was like a huge thunder blasted above his head, directly knocking Hu Mao unconscious.

Where are so many enemies coming from?

Where did Cen Zhong find reinforcements?

It's over, it's over!

escape!
A thought flashed through his mind, Hu Mao didn't hesitate anymore, he pulled the rein, turned around and ran.

He was sure he was screwed.

You can't win here, you're bound to lose.But if he returns to Guizhou, can he survive?

The answer is no.

With Tao Hongyuan paying Fu Changrong's pissing nature, he will definitely blame himself, and put the charge of leading the Qingyuan army to attack Cen Zhong on his own head, and then kill himself quietly.

In the case of no evidence of death, the imperial court would never do anything to a high-ranking official like him.

For a fifth-rank military officer like myself, not many people would care if he died.

On the contrary, as long as they are still alive, they dare not do anything to their family members, and even treat them kindly. As for how to explain this matter to the court, that is their problem.Otherwise, if I throw myself alone, I will at least make them feel ashamed.

When Hu Mao turned around, the Qingyuan army immediately collapsed.

The rest is to arrest and chase people.

Ruan Qingzheng must be caught, and Hu Mao cannot let them escape.

From the beginning of the war at dawn, less than an hour before and after, the war has come to an end.

Longying Cave.

Li Farong took people to capture the prisoners.

Xiao Cheng and Cen Zhong drank the wine happily.

A large piece of smoked pork hind leg meat is red and white, cut a finger-thick palm-sized piece with a knife and stuff it into your mouth. Even a veritable glutton like Xiao Cheng can enjoy the taste.

The key point is that the pork hind legs are completely smoked with pine and cypress green branches, and then some Chinese herbal medicines are added to it after smoking for a long time. The fragrance of the meat really penetrates into every inch of muscle of the meat.

Such a good ingredient, if even a little bit of other condiments are used, it will destroy his original taste.

"Good thing, good thing!" Cen Zhong sipped the persimmon wine brewed in the village, satisfied.

"From now on, Li Farong will be your subordinate. It's not easy to want to eat. He can let you eat this kind of food all year round!" Xiao Cheng laughed.

"No, no, no, no matter how delicious something is, if you eat it every day, it will taste like chewing meat. Like this, if you come to a meal once in a while, it will have a long aftertaste. It will make people not know the taste of meat for three months. This is good, this is good. Very good!" Cen Zhong laughed.

"In that case, why not eat more!" Xiao Cheng smiled and cut another piece and handed it to the other party.

Heavy footsteps sounded outside the door, and upon hearing the sound, one knew that it was Han Kai who had come.

Only this guy has this weight and this courage.

If it were any other person, when approaching these two people, they would try their best to take a light step and be careful.

"It's almost done?" Xiao Cheng smiled and cut another thick piece of fat and thin bacon, and threw it to Han Kai with his hands.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Han Kai held it firmly in his hand.

"Most of them are captured, nearly three thousand captives!" Stuffing the meat into his mouth, chewing until the fat came out of his mouth, Han Kai said: "There are about four hundred captives in the Jiaozhi soldiers, Leihuodong, Xialeidong There are six or seven hundred people in total! The Qingyuan army has the largest number, with more than fifteen hundred prisoners."

"En!" Xiao Cheng nodded.

"Erlang, you don't know. In the camp of the Qingyuan Army, there were six or seven hundred prisoners lying there, their bones and tendons were weak. We caught them back like chickens. Ouch, in that camp, There are poops everywhere, and many people's pants are full, that smells." Han Kai said happily: "Those people's hands and faces are covered with poops, we washed it with water several times, and we barely managed to get rid of it." We can catch them back."

Ah...uh!There was a strange sound in the room, Han Kai stopped abruptly, and looked at Cen Zhong who was retching in some strange way.

Xiao Cheng's face was also ugly.

"Get out!" Xiao Cheng roared angrily.

As soon as Han Kai turned around, he walked out the door in a hurry, walked outside, but poked his head out from the door again, "Erlang, I will let someone clean them up."

Xiao Cheng was furious, he raised his hand to grab a large piece of pork on the plate, and threw it at Han Kai, but the guy laughed and grabbed the piece of meat, and ran away in a flash.

"This thing is intentional!" Xiao Cheng said angrily.

"After being disturbed by them, I probably won't be able to eat this kind of bacon again in the future. I must think of what this dog said once I eat it!" Cen Zhong lamented again and again.

"Lei Huo Cave, what is Eldest Senior Brother going to do with these people in Lei Huo Cave?" Xiao Cheng smiled and changed the subject, so as not to make Cen Zhong feel sick again and again.

"The culprit must be punished, and the thugs must also be held accountable. As for ordinary people, let's merge into Longying Cave. Li Farong has made great contributions and should be rewarded!" Cen Zhong said: "I want to set an example for everyone to see, sincerely give I do things seriously, and the rewards are beyond their imagination."

"That brat Li Farong is out!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Next, senior brother is going to Guizhou?"

"Of course, if we want to take down the entire Guangnan West Road, how can we do it without going to Guizhou?" Cen Chong said with a smile: "We have to have a good talk with our Tao pacifier!"
