Rebel

"Report! There are 5 horses in the direction of the Thirteenth Department of the Rongren, all of which are Qingqi, and they are coming straight to Yuyang day and night! There is still about a day's journey."

When Gu Ao received the battle report, he was putting on his armor, and finally put on a red cloak, and hung the carved dagger on his waist.Gu Ao pushed open the door, only to see the soldiers outside lined up, the battle flags fluttering, and the four characters of "Anti-Rong Volunteer Army" whistled along with the westerly wind in the north.

Liao Qinghui and Gu Qian led two lines of resistance generals from the aristocratic family and the poor family. They had been waiting for a long time. Salute: "King of Han!"

Gu Ao said: "Everyone, since our rebel army entered the army, we have won consecutive battles and victories. First, we went down to Yuyang and Shangjun cities to recover the rivers and mountains. Then we defeated the Zuo Xianwang's [-] elites with the Iron Buddha. Why? It's because of your ambitions. To secure the country, to inspire courage; to seek merit with this, what merit can't be overcome?"

Speaking of which, Gu Ao waved his hand, at this time the head of a rebel commander was brought up, Gu Ao said: "But this person is spreading rumors in the north, saying that our rebel army is short of food and grass, and that more than half of the Iron Buddha Tu was lost in the battle. , now less than ten thousand, absolutely unable to resist the Rong people's attack again. Such a shake in the army's morale, we have to beheaded!"

At this time, the soldiers behind him brought a bowl of Northland strong wine to everyone, and Gu Ao held the wine in his hand: "Now the rebel army is so powerful that not only the soldiers are trembling, but even the Central Plains are in panic. Someone persuaded the king to restrain himself, Otherwise, the merits will be so high that the master will be shocked; there are still people who advise the king to stop at the right time and raise the soldiers for self-respect... But when the king left Hanzhong, he had already made an oath not to destroy the land of the soldiers and not to return to his hometown! But with utter loyalty, don't ask about the future official career. Today, this king leads you and others, not afraid of the people in the world, to conquer the army with all our strength, to fight the enemy with you and others, not asking for fame, but only seeking to expand the territory, to fulfill the ambition of destroying the army in the heart, and to promote our country Power!" After saying that, Gu Ao raised his glass: "I will drink with you all!"

"Drink with the King of Han!"

The infantry and cavalry armies of the rebel army were purged, and after taking the oath, they left the city in full force.The infantry, commanded by Gu Ao, came ten miles northwest of Yuyang County, set up camp, and formed a corner with the cavalry camp led by Huai Xin, while Liao Qinghui led the cavalry in ambush not far from the camp.Yu Junfan quickly entered the camp and galloped up to Gu Ao: "King of Han, Mr. Chou is ready to go to Beijing. He asked me to present the "Picture of the King of Han Going out of Tianshui to Conquer the Army" in order to thank the King of Han for letting him be the leader. Envoy, thank you, Supreme King.”

Gu Ao said: "Okay, you lead the troops to send him off, and I will hand over to you the dangerous pass in the south of Yuyang; beware of Yongchi taking the opportunity to attack."

"I know, don't worry." Yu Jun Fan Lema turned around: "I'll go right away."

Yu Junfan rode his horse and galloped away, while Gu Ao was also stepping up preparations for battle here.Huaixin's Iron Buddha Tu was indeed damaged by more than half, and this battle will undoubtedly no longer serve as the main force.The next day, the sky was just getting white, and the sound of drums and horns was heard in the distance.

The first thing that rang in my ears was the sound of rumbling horseshoes.The line where the sky and the earth meet in the distance is rendered bloody by the rising sun, and the rising clouds seem to vibrate the earth, and in the orange mist, it seems that a golden plate has opened.The sound was getting closer and closer, and the dust rose, and the cavalry of the Thirteen Departments appeared from the horizon.

In the camp of the rebel army, everyone looked solemn, but there was no sound. At this time, two teams of archers quietly stepped forward, drawing their bows one after the other... just wait a little closer... a little closer.

As the command flag was waved down silently, countless feathered arrows flew across the sky. After the first team of archers finished shooting, the second team immediately stepped forward, and then released arrows, and so on.

Many Rong cavalry fell to the ground with arrows before approaching the camp, but more of them approached the camp extremely quickly with the momentum of charging!

The infantry in the camp, relying on the fence, held up a long halberd, trying to pick off the oncoming cavalry from their horses.The first batch of Rong cavalry to charge encountered sharp knives sticking out one after another.

As he was approaching, the horses under the seat raised their front hooves and neighed loudly. Immediately, the Han infantry hiding behind the fence pierced their belly with a long halberd, and rolled to the ground one by one.

Blood stained weapons and fragile barriers red.

Immediately afterwards, wave after wave of the soldiers' cavalry charged more violently, they accumulated more bravery, and broke out the primitive bloodiness of the soldiers chasing the grass...

The fences of the camp were trampled down one by one.

The Han infantry guarding inside were trampled one by one, unable to fight back.

Several generals shouted loudly, raised their scimitars high, and led the troops straight into the camp of the rebel army, heading straight for the largest tent... Their galloping horses seemed to have entered a land without people. , couldn't stop the speed... There was a bang, and the front army fell into a huge earth pit that had been dug long ago.Countless archers suddenly appeared on the top of the pit, and arrows fell like rain from the pit.At this time, there were Rong cavalrymen who had not yet fallen in, and they stomped on the surrounding Han army archers, causing countless deaths and injuries.

The battle in this scene took place in every corner of this battlefield, and the earth was stained red with blood for a while!After two full hours of fierce fighting, every survivor's face was stained with blood; every knife edge was curled up.The battle gradually stopped, and Gu Qian staggered to Gu Ao's side, hissing and shouting: "...Gu Ao! I counted, there are not fifty thousand soldiers here, at most [-], strange! There are still three Wan!"

Gu Ao gritted his teeth and gasped for air. The dagger in his hand was still sharp, but it was stained with too much blood, making it sticky. His horse fell among the corpses on the battlefield... Gu Qian How could Gu Ao not know - Huai Xin has not rushed to help for so long, and the originally agreed Liao Qinghui led cavalry to ambush did not appear - this shows that his plan has been seen through, and they have been attacked separately.

Gu Ao flicked the blood off the sword, put the sword back into its sheath, and remnants gathered from all directions towards Gu Ao.Gu Ao brought a horse, turned on the horse and said loudly: "Those who can still fight, come with me to the Iron Buddha camp."

"Yes!" Everyone found horses on the battlefield one after another. Some were military horses that were slightly injured, and some were horses that fell into the pit and couldn't get out. They were all pulled out one by one, and they followed Gu Ao to the north of Yuyang. go.

……

At this moment, Yong Chi Shuai Huben had been waiting for more than an hour at the pass of entering Shangjing.

Yong Chi was dressed in the same clothes as before - a maroon war robe, a golden crown on his head, and a black horse on his crotch; but the smile that was not a smile in the past disappeared on his flawless white face; What's more is a solemn and frosty look.This expression, coupled with the tall and thin eyebrows and the upturned peach blossom eyes, gave off an air of gloom.

Qiu Mu saw Yong Chi from a distance, hurried on his horse, got away from the protective troops behind him, and quickly approached Yong Chi: "...I... I'm here, long time no see..." Qiu Mu felt guilty and longing , cast all eyes on Yong Chi.

He looked at him, stared at him, as if he wanted to see the slightest thought of Yong Chi.I want to see if there is a little bit of forgiveness and forgiveness for myself in this thought.

But things didn't go as expected, Yong Chi's eyes swept over Qiu Mu coldly, as if he was looking at a corpse.Seeing this look, Qiu Mu shuddered, and said, "...you...have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Yes," Yong Chi said, and as he spoke, he took out a roll of purple satin from his pocket and slowly unfolded it.

Qiu Mu asked: "This, is this an imperial decree?"

Yong Chi didn't answer, Qiu Mu bit his lip, got off his horse anyway, lifted his clothes and knelt down facing Yong Chi's place.Yongchi said: "Following the heaven, the emperor ordered the regent to welcome the king of Han to Beijing; if the king of Han fails to make an appointment, he will have his own heart; if he leads his troops to confront the king of regent, it will be treason." The imperial decree was put in his arms, and said: "Come here, hurry up and take down this rebellion!"

Qiu Mu scrambled to get close to Yongchi's horse, and said, "Han... the king of Han did not miss the appointment, I am the envoy of the king of Han, you... look, there is also the token of the king of Han as a letter." Qiu Mu said in a panic Handing the token to Yong Chi with both hands, Qiu Mu said intermittently: "...Moreover, the one behind this is not a soldier, no offense intended, it was sent by the King of Han to protect me, not to plot against... "

While he was talking, the cavalry left behind by Qiu Mu gradually approached. Yong Chi raised a hand slightly, and Hu Ben Deling, who was standing by behind him, rushed over like a rainbow!The unprepared Han Army Centuries fell one by one under the surprise attack of Huben's elite... Heads fell to the ground one by one, and the Huben elite returned their swords into their sheaths.The blood is spreading...

"Ah... ah..." Qiu Mu yelled, and he looked at Yong Chi again: "...you...you..."

Yong Chi jumped off the horse, and walked slowly in front of Qiu Mu like a leisurely stroll. Qiu Mu raised his head, his eyes followed Yong Chi, and Yong Chi stopped in front of Qiu Mu.

Then Yong Chi raised his hand and slapped Qiu Mu fiercely. Qiu Mu's whole body was overturned by the force. Yong Chi caught up with him a few steps and stepped on Qiu Mu's hand. Holding an iron token with a 'Chinese' character written on it.

Qiu Mu sobbed loudly, and he cried while sobbing: "Don't step on my hand...don't..."

Yong Chi kicked Qiu Mu into the air and fell heavily to the ground, causing Qiu Mu to faint.Yong Chi got back on his horse, took out a brocade handkerchief from his waist, wiped his hands, and said to the crowd, "Let's go to Yuyang County to seek rebellion."

Hu Ben took a step forward and said with a smile: "I heard that Gu Ao let Mr. Yu guard the key point in the south of Yuyang, but it's a pity that he was one step too late and lost to the regent Wang Yingduan."

Only then did a smile appear on Yong Chi's face: "Only by him? I dare say, this Mr. Yu, when he heard the name of this king, he ran away."

……

At this time, Yu Junfan was stationed at the pass from Shangjing to Yuyang, and when he was dispatching troops, suddenly a bloody face of the Yu family trekked Qianshan secretly, and rushed to report: "My lord! My lord! It's not good!"

Yu Junfan took a step forward and hurriedly helped him up. This Anqu had followed him for many years, and that was why he stayed in Qianzhong to guard: "...What's wrong? What happened?"

Na Anqu gritted his teeth and said, "Central Guizhou...is lost! That old man Yu Jia borrowed the help of outsiders to attack the county mansion, and now he has been appointed as the prefect of Central Guizhou."

Yu Junfan asked: "...then... where about Bashu?"

"Bashu is fine, but the subordinates are incompetent and lost Qianzhong."

Yu Junfan took a deep breath: "...It's not your fault, I didn't kill my uncle because of my wife's benevolence, and that's why I'm in trouble today."

The Yu family secretly said: "The old man Yu Jia has lost the hearts of the people in the middle of Guizhou. Now he is relying on an imperial decree to suppress people. He has captured the two generals in the series and put them in prison. There is no way to separate yourself in the north... If the lord Xingye rushes back, he will definitely be able to preside over the overall situation for us."

Yu Junfan paced back and forth in the room: "...But I have promised the King of Han, and I will stand here to the death. I don't believe what I said, and I don't know what to do."

The Yu family trilogy knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said, "My lord's ambition is to fulfill my last wish. Now my lord's land has been taken away by outsiders. Are you going to turn a blind eye, my lord? My lord!"

Yu Junfan took a deep breath and stopped: "You are right, if Bashu in the middle of Guizhou falls into the hands of outsiders, and Hanzhong is a place with no help, how can we transport grain for thousands of miles with the power of one county?" Resist the army?" Yu Junfan bit his finger, tore off a piece of his shirt, wrote a few words in blood, and handed it to a general guarding the pass: "Help me hand it over to the King of Han."

"Yes."

Yu Junfan asked someone to find a new clothes for the Yu family to change into, and brought some wound medicine, and said, "Let's go! Go back to Qianzhong!"

……

When Yong Chi brought his troops to the southern pass of Yuyang County, he saw that there were many armored soldiers; the number of guards was much less than what he had known before.

Hu Ben smiled and said, "It seems that the well-known Mr. Yu not only ran away from the regent, but also took half of the soldiers with him!"

Yong Chi suddenly turned his head up and laughed, his face was a little ferocious:

"...Gu Ao, Gu Ao, you think you have a good plan, but now, so what? You are far behind this king to win by strategy...

The first time you got Yuyang to go to the county, it was a sneak attack by fraud;

The second time you used the Iron Buddha to defeat the army, it was only because you captured a large number of army horses in the first two battles, and you happened to have the skill of making iron in Yuyang, that the Iron Buddha was able to form an army; After the war, you will not have many horses that can compete with the Rong people.

It's a pity that at this time, you still don't know that your defeat is approaching...

You think that the Rong people are barbarians and don't know how to strategize, so even if you don't have many horses, occupy two counties, and the remaining cavalry and infantry cooperate, you can still win by tactics... But you never thought that even though the Rong people are barbarians, But wouldn't someone give them advice? "

"Prince Regent, attack?" a tiger ben asked beside him.

Yong Chi suppressed his smile and said, "Since it's against the party, why didn't you attack?... Mr. Yu kindly left me such an empty city, I must not let him down."
