Chapter 124
byThe enemy soldiers suddenly attacked and jumped up from all directions.
The 10,000 Canglong Army was surrounded on three sides and blocked by the Fairy Lake.
The Fairy Lake is the best pasture in the western region. The grass here can grow to the height of half a person. Even in winter, the standing grass stalks are withered and yellow, which is enough to cover the traces of people.
The enemy ambushed here under the cover of night.
From the footprints in the snow, the scouts judged that there were at least 30,000 people on the other side.
Yan Yu reined in his horse and stopped by the pitch-black Fairy Lake. The snow light made the night not so dark. He said in the chill, "Light the red paper lanterns."
The mysterious red light that once appeared in the Lone Arrow War was lit up before dawn, decorating the fairy lakeside like a fairyland.
This is not the first time Yan Yu has led troops to fight. He has defended the border for 16 years and has experienced countless battles, large and small.But Yan Yu is keenly aware that this will be the toughest and most important battle in his life.
Yan Yu has no way out, only to break through.
Yan Yu inspected the night, he grabbed a handful of snow and wiped the blade and said: "Since the last battle of Fairy Lake, post stations and outposts along the way have been built. Once the battle starts, the signal will be sent out. The main camp and the WestThe three guards will do their best to rescue, brothers, we are not fighting alone, we only need to fight with our backs, and come to support, this is the burial ground of Mo Di, and the Canglong army will surely win!"
The musket is loaded, the saber lights up.
Yan Yu did not rashly order to break through, but made a gesture of standby.
He is waiting for the opponent to attack first.
No one was afraid of the brothers, they were waiting quietly, the sound of breathing was almost uniform, once, twice, three times, measuring the distance of the enemy with their ears.
close enough.
The gunfire cavalry in the front row showed their open muzzles and fired three rounds, knocking the enemy's first wave of forwards upside down.
The archers followed closely behind, firing all arrows.
Mo Di came prepared. The cavalrymen were all wearing heavy armor and light shields; the infantry behind them held heavy shields as tall as a man.Most of the bows and arrows were blocked, and the firecrackers were also difficult to kill with one blow.
The semi-circular encirclement made it impossible for the bullets trapped in the central firearms team to be dense enough, and the fierce cavalry swooped over with all their teeth and claws.
The bullets brought by the firecrackers are limited, and the distance is too close, so there is not enough time to reload.The enemy rushed over regardless, in order to break up the formation of the firecrackers.
Yan Yu did not order a counterattack when the fireball team was short of range, but let the formation shrink again.
The red lanterns of the Canglong Army huddled by the Fairy Lake, and if they took another step back, they would be buried in the deep lake.
The Canglong army stopped in the snow, they held their breath, the sound of the enemy's horseshoes stepped on their hearts.
The light turned the snow into crimson, and the blade could already see Mo Di's figure.
At this moment, Yan Yu swung down the long knife he held high: "Fire."
The artillery fires.
The cavalry cannon hidden in the back showed its powerful fangs.The shells flew out in unison, accurately crossing the line of the red lanterns.
The black Modi army did not expect that there were artillery in the patrol team.
Some of them have seen with their own eyes the battlefield where the Lone Arrow Army was blown to pieces, and their expressions turned pale when they were frightened;
No matter how powerful the cavalry was, they were vulnerable to artillery, and the cavalry hesitated for a while.
Mo Di obviously had expected it long ago, this time he specially brought a strict supervisory team, shouted loudly at his own people, and killed anyone who flinched immediately.
The Mo Di soldiers were forced to rekindle their fighting spirit under the sword of the supervisory team, ran a few times in the hail of bullets, yelled his mother a few times, and slipped through the gap between the artillery fire.
Once the Canglong army is trapped in a small area, there will be nowhere to stretch out, and the entire army can be trampled flat with just a horseshoe.
Confrontation is inevitable.
Yan Yu has already killed thousands of people from Mo Di without bloodshed by arranging troops, which severely dampened the morale of the opponent.
He ordered the drums to be beat for the final mobilization: "The Canglong Army once lost our commander by the Fairy Lake, and today we want to recover the blood debt here. No one can show off their might on the land of Da Jing! Canglong Army, don't lose an inch of ground, do not abandon brothers, the blade of the Canglong Army will not spare old enemies!"
Yan Yu is a literati, his words are swords.He is usually an elegant and refined gentleman in front of the soldiers, but today he lifted the knife, his face was ferocious and full of murderous intent, he galloped out on his horse, and the soldiers followed with their swords in hand.
The cavalry artillery of the Canglong Army adjusted the range of firepower to blast the eastward breakout road for the main force.
Under the command of Yan Yu in advance, the firecrackers concentrated their firepower to clear the way to the east.
To the east is the way we came.
West Sanwei is there.
The war horses trampled the snow, and the turbulent snow powder flew up. Yan Yu's face was immersed in the gunfire and snow fog, staring at the familiar way.
He was wearing Wei Tai's helmet, silently chanting Wei Tai's name in his heart.
This Ten Thousand Canglong Army is the foundation of Xisanwei, and he will try his best to bring it back.
Xisanwei and Modi Bing have been rivals for many years, and they are very familiar with each other. Yan Yu used artillery fire to throw Modi's main force away.According to usual experience, it is very difficult for the other party to catch up with him.
Today's Western Territory is no longer a place where Modi can gallop freely, and Yan Yu expects that Modi will not dare to chase too far.With the current speed of the Canglong Army's transmission, the reinforcements must arrive within half an hour.
At daybreak, the Mo Di soldiers must retreat.
Both time and distance are beneficial to Yan Yu.
Finally, the rear army of the Canglong Army opened the eastbound exit in the fight, and the whole army is expected to retreat in an orderly manner.
At this moment, a new ambush army appeared in front of the Canglong Army.
This army holds both a machete and a broadsword, and their horses are different, half a head shorter than Mo Di's horse, but more agile, running in the snow, smoother and faster than Mo Di's big horse.
This group of troops rushed out with oblique stabs, slashing at the Canglong army.
The Canglong Army was caught off guard by the enemy and entered the formation. The cavalry artillery and firecrackers were afraid to fire, and the speed of the Canglong Army was slowed down.
Affected by the front, the rear army couldn't display their formation, so they had to turn around and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Mo Di.
"This is... a reckless soldier!" Yan Yu recognized the ambush that had been killed halfway.
The scouts also came to report: "Yan Tongzhi, there are another 20,000 people ambushing ahead, they are Mangrong people!"
Yan Yu immediately realized that retreating was out of the question.
Mo Di and Mang Rong colluded, this is completely torn skins with Da Jing, at least 50,000 soldiers came to encircle today, they attack from front to back and cut them, no matter which direction Yan Yu runs, it is a dead end.
"Surrender." Mangrong's chief general persuaded arrogantly.
With such a huge disparity in military strength and such an impatient fighting style, Mo Di and Mang Rong obviously wanted to win the battle quickly.
This pair of invaders, who were in a panic, couldn't hide their fear of the main force of the Canglong Army.
Time is the key to this raid.
Yan Yu understood.
He made a decisive decision, turned his horse's head, and said to the generals: "Song Dutong and Commander Wei must be on the way to support, brothers, we only need to fight to the death for half an hour, and we will be victorious. Whether he is Mo Di or Mangrong today,Don't even think about taking anything from our land. The Canglong Army is fearless and will never surrender! Fight to the death!"
Even if besieged on all sides, even if ambushed on all sides, the Canglong Army will never surrender.Fight to the death to the last person, but also represent the owner of this land to give the enemy a severe blow.
The ammunition of the cavalry artillery and muskets was quickly exhausted, and the soldiers drew out their sabers, and the ten thousand Canglong troops held their formation without giving an inch.
Mo Di and Mang Rong had tasted both sweetness and bitterness in this sneak attack.
The Canglong army was too strong, even if there was no ammunition, even if the red lantern was trampled to pieces in the snow, no one retreated.
Mo Di and Mang Rong used five times as many troops to eat the ten thousand soldiers, but at dawn they couldn't eat them all.
The first light of the morning.
According to Di Bo Maharaja and King Xu Xuan's death orders, they must retreat immediately.
In this battle, Mo Di was killed by cavalry artillery and firecrackers thousands of people, but before he left, he couldn't take the same amount of spoils with him.
The chief general of Mo Di was named Bao Re, he was not angry, he drew his heavy bow in the clear light and aimed at Yan Yu's neck.
He had to bring back something important, such as the head of the chief general of the Ten Thousand Canglong Army.
The heavy arrow pierced the wind and went away.
When Yan Yu heard the sound of the wind, it was too late to avoid it, and he felt a buzzing sound in his head. The arrow hit the bottom of the helmet, and the sound made his ears ring.
Fortunately, what he was wearing today was Wei Tai's helmet, which was bigger than his and just covered the entire back of his neck.
The chief general Mo Di saw that he could not succeed, stomped his feet angrily, and was about to shoot again, but was persuaded by the deputy general, it is important to retreat first.
Yan Yu is also thinking about spoils.
The dawn will break and the reinforcements are approaching. The Mo Di and Mang soldiers he restrained will all become the spoils of war for the main force of the Canglong Army.
Yan Yu said to the messenger: "Attack with all your strength."
The war drums beat the fastest frequency.
Mo Di and Mang Rong wanted to quit, but Yan Yu insisted on it, and they were very annoyed by being chased.
Red fireworks exploded in the sky not far away, and the appearance of the Canglong Army's signal hail here meant that the main force was coming.
Mang Rongbing had seen this kind of signal cannon used by the Snow-Treading Army in Beiyuan. He put his knife into its sheath immediately, and ran away without even saying hello to Mo Di.
Seeing this, Bao Re flew into a rage, scolding the Mangrong people for their lack of generosity and faithlessness.
"Full speed pursuit!" Yan Yu issued another battle order.
The 10,000 Canglong Army got the news of the reinforcements, their morale soared, and the silver light of the saber was better than the color of Bai Xue.
Bao Re was caught hand and foot, his vanguard had already run out, but the rear army was firmly bitten by the Canglong Army, and he rode back angrily.
The forwards on both sides meet, and the main generals confront each other.
Bao Re said: "My surname is Yan, I will spare your life, but you insist on messing around and take your life!"
Yan Yu made up his mind to stop Bao Re, and he retorted: "The land of Da Jing is not something you can come and leave whenever you want. You have committed massacres here, so you should come again!"
Wei Tai was covered in sweat from running.
When he heard the battle report, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Yan Yu, Yan Yu, his Yan Tongzhi was defeated!
Those goddamn Modi people dared to come to the Western Territory!
The West Three Guards were practicing, and the team didn't even save the entire army, and followed Wei Tai and rushed out of the West Three Guards.
Wei Tai has never run so fast, but he still thinks it is too slow, every sound of the horse's hooves feels like stepping on the tip of his heart, making his liver hurt from anxiety.
Wei Tai knows Yan Yu's skills, he can still fight against ordinary masters, but if he meets Mo Di's top masters, he may not be able to please him.And there are so many masters in Mo Di, and those who will be sent to make a surprise attack are definitely not ordinary candidates.
Wei Tai knew that Yan Yu usually looked lukewarm, and when it came to military affairs, he disregarded personal safety, and Yan Tongzhi would definitely take the lead in everything.
The general of the first army is a living target, and it is too dangerous for Yan Yu to face it head-on.
Wei Tai was not too worried about the Ten Thousand Canglong Army.Because Yan Yu must put the safety of the soldiers first, as long as Yan Yu is around, the soldiers will be safe for the time being.
I'm afraid, something happened to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu and Bao Re went through more than a dozen moves.
Bao Re's knife was extremely heavy, and Yan Yu's mouth swelled in pain from the shock, but he didn't intend to let go.He entangled Baoge, his soldiers blocked Mo Di's rear army, and at the same time, the sound of horses trampling from east to west was very close.
The clouds broke through in the east, and the morning sun fell on the pommel horse.
Yan Yu was relieved.
He used 10,000 people to hold back half of the Modi soldiers.
When Bao Re heard the deafening sound of horseshoes, he knew that the situation was over. He hated the Canglong army for stalking him endlessly, hated the Mangrong people for their treachery, and even more hated this Yan Yan who blocked his way.
Bao Re had no face to go back to the royal court, and the morning light in the western region made him unable to open his eyes. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, spat out a mouthful, jumped up from his horse, and threw Yan Yu from his horse to the ground.
Yan Yu carried the weight of two people by himself, and when he fell to the ground, he was smashed to the ground.
Bao Re's blade fell, and Yan Yu turned to avoid it.
Baore's knife was kicking up the snow, and he said viciously and manically: "If you leave me here, then you will never want to go back."
Yan Yu rolled a few times in the snow before standing up holding the knife: "I just need to keep you here, that's enough."
Bao Re raised his knife and said, "Aren't you afraid of death, why do you have to fight against me?"
Yan Yu blocked with a horizontal knife, and said in a harsh sharpening voice: "Because I want you to know the price of daring to break into the Western Region! This battle will be your nightmare, and you will never dare to set foot in the Western Region again.!"
With amazing arm strength, Bao Re pressed down on the knife: "It's up to you?!"
Yan Yu's wrist was pressed out of a twisted arc, so he could only squat down and roll in the snow. To relieve the terrible force, he choked on the snow and said, "It's up to me and my brothers."
Bao Re chased after him, and the blade slashed against Yan Yu's ear: "But you are going to die."
Yan Yu was struggling to hide, and one ear was hit by the back of the knife.His personal guards were also fighting to the death with Mo Di's soldiers, someone wanted to rescue him, but Bao Re stabbed him with a backhand and sent him flying far away.
Yan Yu's ears rang so badly that he suddenly couldn't hear the sound of horses' hoofs coming to help in the distance, nor could he hear the wind of swords nearby.
He yelled in his heart that it was not good, and saw Bao Re's enlarged face.
He knew he couldn't escape, and a triumphant smile appeared on his snow-covered face: "It doesn't matter if I die, my subordinates, my thousands of brothers, will never let you go. The Canglong Army is invincible."
The machete fell.
Yan Yu was trapped in the white snow, his pupils were dilated, he saw the red sun jumping out of the east, first thought of His Royal Highness, and then thought: I missed the appointment.
Wu Zheng, I'm going to be sad.
How can this be good.
The blood spilled out, dyed the helmet red, and then flowed out, shocking in the snow covered with sunlight.
Song Beiming's main force came faster than Wei Tai.
Beifeng killed Baore who was trying to break out of the siege with a single blow. When Song Beiming came to Yan Yu's side, Yan Yu's body was only a little warm.
Song Beiming saw Yan Yu's slightly parted lips, and leaned over to put his ear to it.
I heard Yan Yu say: "Xia... Zhi, can you?"
Song Beiming replied softly: "I already know, I promise you."
Yan Yu is "Xiaoxue", he completed the task of persuading Xia Zhi in the snow, and closed his eyes in peace.
At the same time, the Canglong Army cut off Mo Di's handsome flag.
"Great victory!"
"The Canglong Army is invincible!"
Three sunny days in a row in the western region.
Most of the snow has been melted by the sun, and the snow water slides down from the roof and falls on the stone steps under the eaves.
L.
Yan Xi had a long dream about the sound of snow and water.It was raining all the time in the dream, he was walking on the stone road with an umbrella, and many people passed by, they all called him His Highness when they passed by, and they left after calling, no matter how much he shouted, they didn't look back, and finally disappeared into the rain.
When Yan Xi woke up, the sky was already bright, and he sat with a splitting headache for a while before it eased slightly.
Song Beiming had already gone to the barracks, Yan Xi's body was warmed by Song Beiming, and he didn't feel cold when he got up.Wang An came in to help him get dressed, Yan Xi said, "Go to Xisanwei."
"Your Highness, your body is better, and your hands are not sharp." Wang An persuaded in a low voice, "Why don't you ask the third master what he means?"
"Now, even you only listen to the third master?" Yan Xi dressed neatly, walked to the desk, heard the wind outside through the window, and said with a smile, "Forget it, ask someone to send a message to Meng Ze and ask himDo you want to go with me?"
"Thank you, master." Wang An felt relieved, and turned around to pass on a message.
"Go and invite Dong Zhengfu to come and go with us." Yan Xi looked at the sun outside through the window paper, he took out the Kongming lantern that Shang Baiheng gave him from the box, and fell into deep thought.
When Yan Xi came to the western region, he encountered many difficulties. He had never lit the lamp, but the lamp holders came without hesitation, and then left one by one.
Frost's descent, Lidong, Xiaoxue... the lamp bearer rewards him with ambition, what should he do?
