Chapter 152

"Fire arrows!"

With an order, the bowstrings vibrated together, and the rain of arrows pierced through the air and screamed, shooting towards the Chiseltoothmen who were coming like a tide from more than a hundred steps away.

The rain of arrows fell, easily piercing through the simple armor of the chisel teeth, but not many people fell to the ground, and those chisel teeth spurted blood from their wounds, but aroused their madness, roaring and roaring all the way, describing the ferocious attack towards the Wukui army's line .

General Wei stood on the earthen platform behind and watched the battlefield. He noticed that the Chisel Toothmen were running very fast, but the formation gradually became disorganized. He signaled to the standard bearer beside him: "Fire another round of arrows, and let the second formation slowly spread out to the wings."

The flags are waved, the drums are beating rapidly, and the horns are sounding. At the front of the front line are brave infantry wearing iron armor. Shields nearly one person tall are juxtaposed like a wall, and spears more than ten feet are erected like a forest, facing the chisel teeth that are rushing towards them. All the people stabbed out.

The moment the two armies came into contact, it was as if a huge wave crashed into a solid rock, and the killing sound shook the sky for a while, and blood sprayed back and forth with the weapons of the two sides, splashing everywhere.

Chisel-tooth people who were born in the southern mountain forest of Kunlun Island have a strong physique, and their muscles are far more plump than ordinary people. ".

Most of the chisel-toothed people hold broad knives and clubs, slashing and smashing desperately. Although there is no method, it often takes three or five soldiers to work together to kill one.

But even so, facing the well-armored Wukui army, the Chiseltooth's offensive immediately slowed down.The sacrificial and blessed saber, spear and talisman soldiers are held by the master Baishi with outstanding martial arts skills. When he waits for the right time to attack, he cuts the armor and flesh of the chisel teeth like tofu.

After a short confrontation, Chisel Teeth suffered many casualties, while the Wukui army's right wing offensive gradually increased, which in turn pushed the front line back.

At this time, behind the chisel-tooth militia formation, suddenly there was a yellow cloud soaring into the sky, whirling like a vortex, giving birth to countless crows, flying towards the Wukui army.

"Where is Yi Jiangzi?" General Wei asked immediately upon seeing this.

Seeing a figure leaping up from the side of the earthen platform, Yi Jiangzi had been prepared for a long time, and casually sacrificed Fei Lianyu, his portable magic weapon, as if shaking a fan gently, when the wind and waves swelled, with the momentum of destroying forests and pulling trees, he would attack the formation The crows broke through easily.

"Huh! Summoning monsters, it's just mediocre!" Yi Jiangzi laughed loudly, and when he heard the sound of the drum below change, he raised the magic weapon again, causing a strong wind, blowing flying sand and disturbing the enemy's footsteps, followed by a round of archers from the Wukui army's rear. After shooting, many chisel-toothed people fell down in response.

At the same time, the right wing of the Wukui army suddenly burst into killing sounds, and the rays of light from the spells flew back and forth. On the front line, with the corpses under their feet, they forcibly killed a bloody path.

From a distance, Yi Jiangzi saw several witches behind the enemy formation chanting a mantra, stomping on the ground in unison, acting like crazy, and then countless vines and thorns burst out through the ground, entangled the warriors who broke the formation.

This time before General Wei could open his mouth, three female cultivators from the Mingxia Hall immediately waved their silk ribbons, which turned into misty and smoky rays of light, flowing gently over Ruishi's body, quietly drying up the vines and thorns like wood, and was easily killed. break free.

Seeing this, those Wu Zhu knew that they were invincible, and the rear of the Jiuli National Army blew the horn of retreat, and the sound was sharp and piercing.

After hearing this, some chisel-toothed people who were in the back row turned their heads and fled one after another, while the remaining ones were eager to kill and did not have the slightest intention of retreating.The few barbarian leaders riding wild boars, with dozens of scars all over their bodies and bloody bodies, still roared continuously, until they were torn off their mounts by the Rui Shiying, and smashed several times with a melon hammer, and then smashed their heads .

"General Wei, why didn't you pursue?" Yi Jiangzi was about to cast another spell, but he heard his own side blowing the trumpet to withdraw the troops, so he had no choice but to ask.

"The purpose of this barbarian army is to lure us to pursue it." General Wei shook his head and said, "The monks from the Huaiying Pavilion who went to reconnaissance just now sent back news with paper cranes. The scale cannot be underestimated.”

"So that's it." Yi Jiangzi nodded slightly: "I found that the wizards sent by the Jiuli Kingdom recently, although their magical skills are weird and changeable, they are not too brilliant. The legendary Fengju Ten Witches have not yet appeared. , the high priest of the Sacred Valley and the goddess of the Yongcui Temple did not come."

General Wei frowned and said, "I also find it strange that the Jiuli Kingdom has deployed troops on such a large scale this time, yet so far no powerful figures have taken action. Maybe it's a deliberate show of weakness, or maybe it's to guard against our chiefs."

Naturally, a master like the head of Guanxi can't show up easily, but as the key to defeating the enemy, he will end at the right time.

Others may not understand the inside story, but General Wei still knows that the Huaxu Kingdom and the Jiuli Kingdom are fighting outside the Jianjia Pass, and the Xiong Kingdom must also be paying attention to the war in secret. If either of the two countries is difficult to sustain, the Xiong Kingdom will definitely Take advantage of the situation and send troops.

The leaders of several halls and the army of the country are all on guard against the invasion of the Xiong Kingdom. I don't know if the leader of the Jiuli Kingdom has thought of this and deliberately prevents masters like Fengju Shiwu from appearing on the battlefield.

……

"This battle can't be fought!"

The general Fei Zuosheng, who had just returned from defeat, threw his helmet to the ground in the camp of Jiuli Kingdom stationed at Leixindao.

A black and thin old man sitting cross-legged on the seat looked at the rolling helmet on the ground, and picked it up with his wooden staff, and said in a flat tone, "General Fei, why is this so?"

On both sides of the black and thin old man, there are tribal witches with tattooed faces and hair and complicated clothes, as well as generals in military uniform and swords. They despise Fei Zuo Shengdo, and some people simply scolded:

"How bold! How dare you say something to offend Lord Wu Zhen!"

Fei Zuosheng was also not polite: "This is not an offense. Now we have fought against the Huaxu Kingdom several times, but we have been defeated again and again. It is obvious that we have mobilized a total of more than [-] troops this time. A small number of troops?
The Huaxu Kingdom has formed a new army in recent years, with amazing combat power, and it is led by a steady and mature person like Wei Xiuwen. If we don't overwhelm with overwhelming superiority, we will not be able to delay it! "

"Enough!" A tribal leader shouted: "You, Fei Zuosheng, are just a surrendered general, and it is a great favor to let you lead the troops. I never thought that you would be so useless, losing to a young general with little reputation, and now Dare to talk nonsense in the camp? Come on, beat him out with a stick!"

Fei Zuosheng's face turned cold, and he was about to resist when he saw the thin black old man wave his hand lightly: "Okay, don't make any noise. General Fei, please sit down first, I still have something to say."

"Yes." Fei Zuosheng suppressed his anger, took back his helmet, and sat down.

"I have fought against the Huaxu Kingdom many times before. Compared with the Xiong Kingdom, which has more soldiers and generals, the Huaxu Kingdom relies more on private soldiers from various aristocratic families." Wu Zhen gently stroked the stick: "The most powerful of them all Naturally, it was the Liang family in Yongjia. Even if the Liang Guoshi was not mentioned, the tens of thousands of soldiers under Liang Bao's command were enough to be an enemy of an army. Fortunately, they had to guard the Juhong Pass all year round.

In the past few years since the Five Kingdoms eliminated the soldiers, the most important task of the current King Huaxu is to abolish all the armies. In order to ask for an order, he even forced the Chiyundu and Tianlu armies against him one after another.I have to say that even though it is an enemy country, I admire the ambition of the Lord Yang.The Wukui army that is facing us now is the fruit of Yang Guozhu's years of rectification of the military and government. It is natural for everyone to find it difficult to deal with. "

Fei Zuosheng hesitated to speak, but Wu Zhen continued: "As for Wei Xiuwen, I also know about him. He was originally a general of Huaxu Kingdom's Grand Sima Luoyi. Back then, Luo Yi voluntarily handed over his military power to protect his family. However, Wei Xiuwen can still be reused by Yang Guozhu, which shows that he is an extraordinary talent.

I set up suspicious soldiers several times, but he was unmoved, his offense and defense were calm, and he never took risks.In addition, Wukui's army is well-armed, which is far inferior to our Jiuli Kingdom. Dongge Fort was besieged by them half a month ago, and three ballistas directly blasted through the fort's wall.Several Wu Zhu intended to fly into the sky to attack the camp, but they were also shot to death by talisman arrows. "

A tribal witch beat his knees and said: "It's all because of the talisman soldiers and arrows that Zhenming Hou Zhao Mi made. In today's battle, even the chisel-toothed people who have always been violent and warlike were killed! They are born with physical fitness. It's unique, you don't need to bandage and apply medicine when you get injured, as long as you don't cut off your head and limbs, you can heal yourself in a blink of an eye, but the wound left by the talisman soldier can't heal!"

"Zhao Shu..." Wu Zhen pondered for a long time: "This person became famous in Huaxu Country because he killed a spy who had been hiding for a long time in our Jiuli Country. Later, he opened an altar to patrol the border in Qingyan County. , so that some of the people we planted in the past were buried by the Cangshui River."

"Now I heard that Marquis Zhenming is in charge of guarding Jianjia Pass. I wonder if he can bypass most of Wukui's army and attack Jianjia Pass from a small path?" Fei Zuosheng couldn't help but suggested, "Most of these monks don't know the art of war and military affairs. And once Jianjia Pass is captured, within half a month, Wu Kui's army will run out of food and grass, so it will not be a problem to deal with them at that time!"

Someone sneered and retorted: "The city of Jianjia Pass is high and deep, there are not tens of thousands of people, so don't even think about capturing it! You Fei Zuosheng once guarded Jianjia Pass for your master, but in the end your master was struck to death by a thunderbolt from the master of Liang. You are afraid that you will settle accounts after the fall, so you have no choice but to bring your own trilogy to my Jiuli country. What's the matter? Do you think that everyone else is just like you and will give up Jianjia Pass casually?"

Fei Zuosheng gritted his teeth after being uncovered the past. His lord back then was originally a member of the Huaxu Kingdom's clan and a powerful vassal guarding Jianjia Pass. In order to fight for the throne, he took a large number of soldiers to Dongsheng Capital.

It's a pity that Liang Tao made a bold move. In order to help the obese and incompetent Gao Pinggong, his lord and his wife, children, and children were all killed under the fire.

Fei Zuosheng knew that the lord died halfway through the chase, and he himself was doomed. He originally planned to go to the Jiuli Kingdom to borrow troops to avenge him, but it was a pity that before he could make preparations, the situation in Huaxu's country was fixed, and he didn't know where to take the risk. A side branch of the clan who came out suddenly ascended the throne, and even Duke Gao Ping, who had been favored by Liang Tao, took the initiative to regard him as the lord of the country.

So he died, and this incompetent Lord Gao Ping received a large reward for this, and was also ordered to guard the Jianjia Pass, occupying the foundation that Fei Zuosheng's own lord had run in the past.

"Actually, I do have the idea of ​​attacking Jianjia Pass by detour." Wu Zhen said suddenly.

Fei Zuosheng was overjoyed when he heard the words: "My lord Wu Zhen, in the past ten years or so, Duke Gao Ping has been at Jianjia Pass, and his armaments and defenses have been slack. Although the Wukui army has been replaced, the gaps cannot be made up in a short time. Except Jianjia Pass In itself, there are many mountain pass fortresses and beacon fortresses nearby, most of which have been abandoned for a long time. The final general would like to personally lead an army to break through the fortresses and attack Jianjia Pass from the side!"

"You don't want to directly attack Jianjia Pass." Wu Zhen shook his head slowly, his tone sounded like a loyal elder's advice: "Judging from Wei Xiuwen's style of using troops, he leads the troops himself, and Jianjia Pass must be ready and will not be negligent."

Fei Zuosheng also understands this, but he first betrayed the Huaxu Kingdom, and was treated coldly in the Jiuli Kingdom.Now that the two countries are fighting each other, if they don't take the opportunity to make more contributions, I'm afraid there will be no place for them to gain a foothold!
"I previously arranged for the hog-beak people to lurk in the forest near the Huaxu country, and let them harass the military supplies behind Jianjia Pass." Wu Zhen said, "It's a pity that these hog-beak people are useless, and we still need a capable man. The best way to capture the villages at the border of the city is to lure the defenders in Jianjia Pass to leave in large numbers."

Fei Zuosheng got up immediately: "The last general is willing to go!"

"Okay." Wu Zhen nodded: "You are familiar with the geography and features of Huaxu Kingdom, so it is really up to you to do this. I will arrange a batch of witch wishes for you at your disposal. In addition, our Fengju Ten Witches will also summon God's punishment , to help you."

Fei Zuosheng muttered in his heart, he was not from the tribe of Jiuli Kingdom, and he had always been at odds with those weird-looking, wild witches who had not faded away.But without the help of these people, facing the monks of Guanxi in Huaxu Kingdom, they might be at a disadvantage in the fight. I just hope that the other party will not be too willful.

As for the theory of divine punishment, Fei Zuosheng was dubious, but it was not his turn to ask: "Yes, the general will obey."

……

"Report! There are traces of Jiuli soldiers and horses in the southwest of Changlin County!"

Zhao Mi was inspecting the training of the prisoner army on the school grounds, when suddenly a messenger ran over and delivered an urgent report.

"Changlin County?" Joining the army next to him asked in surprise, "Why did the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom go there?"

Looking at the "urgent report" sent by Lieutenant Zhang, Zhao Shu understood it in his heart, frowned and said, "Changlin County is an important place for military supplies to be transshipped. I wrote to ask for a batch of salt and iron medicines, and I will arrive in Jianjia soon. Guan. Thinking about it now, we are now near Changlin County."

"Could it be that the Jiuli Kingdom is no match for General Wei on the front line, so they plan to cut off the army's food and logistics?"

"Going deep into the enemy's territory, looting and raiding, this is the usual practice of Jiuli Kingdom!" Zhao Mi said: "I have opened the altar several times these days, but I haven't found any movement of Jiuli Kingdom's army. They may be using magic tricks. There is no way to cover up and hoodwink ghosts and gods. It is necessary for me to go there myself and wipe out the enemy soldiers behind the pass!"

"Zhao Changshi, this is not allowed!" Joining the army hurriedly dissuaded: "Jianjiaguan still needs you to take care of it, sweeping up the enemy's looting and looting, just send a battalion of soldiers and horses, why do you do it yourself?"

"Ding Ziying is searching and reconnaissance outside every day. This is not the first time that Jiuli soldiers and horses have been found recently!" Zhao Shu shook his hand and reported urgently: "I have left a message spell and handed it over to Lianghui Taoist friend of Chongxuan Pavilion. If you encounter the enemy situation, you just ask him to send me a message. If the situation is urgent, I can fly back alone. After I leave, except for food, grass and military supplies, idlers and others are not allowed to enter or leave without official orders. spy."

Joining the army wanted to say more, but Zhao Mi raised his hand and said, "I've made up my mind, you don't have to stop me!"
