Meng lie sat on a stone by the side of the road. If he didn't have the clothes that could barely see his identity, his lonely appearance would not be much different from that of an ordinary people fleeing from afar. It's just that the clothes are dirty. It's still a little desolate when a king's court general is down to this point.
He can only sit here and wait until the scouts sent come back.
Yanshan has water, which can be used as a hunter for many years. Meng lie deeply knows a truth. The more safe it looks, it may be an illusion. He escaped thousands of miles and didn't encounter a regular Han Army on the way. Meng lie was always uneasy.
He was not an idiot, so he had guessed how the rumor about mengge's death spread. Since the Han people can come up with such a rumor to break the enemy's tactics, it is impossible not to use subsequent tricks. The reason why he has been avoiding other Wangting generals is not because he is afraid of those people, but because he is always worried that once the Mengyuan people fight themselves, the Han people suddenly kill out, which is undoubtedly a disaster.
In fact, Meng lie has been waiting for the Han Army to appear.
But it has been almost a year since rumors first appeared. It has been nearly half a year since he fell out with other Wangting generals. The Han army never appeared. Every time a large number of refugees rushed out to rob their food and grass at the risk of death, Meng lie thought it was the Han army.
But not every time.
In order to avoid the expected crisis, he also deliberately slowed down the retreat of the team and let other Wangting generals walk in front of him. He always kept a distance of almost a hundred miles from each other. Or because they were approaching langrushan, the soldiers were a little excited. In recent days, the marching speed was a little unbearable, so that the distance from the Mongolian Yuan team in front was reduced to 60 or 70 miles.
"Secret service, you seem to have something on your mind?"
His guard asked tentatively, and then handed up the last half bag of water. Meng lie subconsciously took over to drink. He happened to see the pro guard licking his cracked lips with his tongue. Meng lie hesitated and handed the water bag to the pro guard: "drink it, or I'll deal with you according to the military law."
Pro Wei opened his mouth and finally chose to take a small sip.
"I was just wondering whether to send someone to remind the people in front of me that the actions of the Han people are strange. So far, there has been no Han Army, which is obviously abnormal. According to the truth, after chaos, the Han army should take advantage of the situation to attack. But it is approaching the wolf milk mountain... What I am worried about now is that the danger is hidden in the most relaxed time."
"The most relaxed time?"
I don't understand.
"Now it's only one step away from returning to the grassland. More than 300 miles ahead is langrushan Canyon, which is our familiar grassland and our familiar hometown. At this time, the soldiers are the most excited and relaxed about danger... If there is an extremely calm man among the Han people, he will wait until this moment to start A life blow. "
The pro guard thought for a moment and said, "maybe you're too worried. I heard that the eastern Xinjiang of the Han people is being invaded by foreigners. Maybe the reason why they didn't come to pursue is that they can't transfer people and horses in the eastern Xinjiang."
"If so, that's good..."
The guard advised: "secret service, don't pay attention to those people. The people in front may not take your favor or think you are kind. You send someone to remind them that the cliff mountain may be dangerous. People may think you're afraid that they rob the water source... Or they may worry that you control the water source and don't let them drink."
"Maybe..."
At this moment, Meng lie realized that there seemed to be no trust between him and several other king court generals. Even if he did send someone to remind him of something, those people really wouldn't care.
"My subordinates are worried..."
Pro Wei said anxiously, "those people first went to the cliff mountain, and then harmed the water source. At that time, we won't even have water to drink."
"After all, they are all Mongolian Yuan people. Aren't they so?"
Meng lie said to himself, but there was a little confidence in his tone.
"My subordinates, either we'll wait for them to go first and then we'll go back. Or we'll ignore the water source of the cliff mountain and rush directly. If we cross the langrushan Canyon first, it's good for the secret service... After you go back. It's not so easy for those people to go back as long as they leave a horse to seal the canyon."
"Forget it."
Meng lie shook his head: "I've seen too many fellow warriors die in other countries. Meng Yuan's strength has been greatly damaged up to now. It's a disaster for our tribe to die one more person. I know you all expect me to go back and compete for the throne of Khan, but I'm really tired of it. Moreover, I always have a feeling... Khan is not dead."
"However, some people say that the solution of the black flag army has defeated big Khan in the south."
"Rumors are not credible."
Just as he was saying this, several horsemen suddenly flew over in the distance. The chief scout jumped off his horse, ran quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of Meng lie: "secret service, the cliff in front of us is fighting! Those people walking in front of us were ambushed by the Han people, and suffered heavy casualties!"
Meng stood up fiercely and his face changed greatly.
"I knew I wouldn't go back so easily!"
He paced back and forth, and the look in his eyes was particularly complex.
"Come on, blow the horn and start!"
Meng lie said, "let's rush for help!"
"But secret service, those people once wanted to kill you!"
Pro Wei advised, "why take risks for them?"
"I just said... After all, they are all Mongolian Yuan people, after all, they are the descendants of the wolf God, after all... They are all my uncles and brothers of the kuketaimeng family."
He tidied up his iron helmet, turned over and mounted his horse: "you can't die!"
......
......
Yashan
In fact, no one thought that the Mongolian Yuan people who were ambushed were really the regular army of the Han people. When the first wave of Han people rushed out, looking at their ragged clothes and the scale of only thousands of people, all Mongolian Yuan people hardly cared.
From the beginning of Yishui's return to the west, they met too many Han refugees. These people have become wild animals for a bite of food. They dare to launch suicide attacks in the face of wolf riders armed to the teeth. But if they don't die, their combat effectiveness really doesn't dare to be praised.
Although they were in distress, the well-trained wolf cavalry had little difficulty in dealing with these refugees in the past. The seemingly unstoppable refugees who roar forward can be defeated with only a counter charge. Thousands of refugees did not pose a threat to the number of wolf cavalry.
However, when the Han infantry shouted to kill out of the woods, the situation seemed to become more and more wrong.
About seven or eight thousand Han people came out of the dense forest and attacked the marching wolf cavalry. Because the forest is very close to the official road, the feather arrows of the wolf cavalry are much less powerful than before. The most shocking thing is that what these seven or eight thousand Han people hold in their hands is not a wooden stick, but a bright horizontal knife.
Seeing that the anti assault cavalry array composed of wolf riders was about to take shape, dozens of shells sprayed out of the woods and fell into the wolf rider team. At the moment when the huge fire burst, the wolf cavalry reacted that the refugees in ragged clothes were not refugees at all, but the elite soldiers of the Han people.
The sudden attack of artillery disrupted the anti charge formation of wolf riding.
Then the seven or eight thousand Han people rushed in like wolves and went straight to the baggage camp of the Chinese army. They were carrying a strange looking package with a long rope tied on it. When they rushed to the front, the Han people swung the package round and threw it over. Although the success rate of the explosion was very low, not four or five of the ten could explode, they really scared the war horses of the wolf.
The horses were most afraid of the violent and abrupt explosion, and soon the formation of the team was in chaos.
And those Han soldiers who looked sallow and skinny could bear the hunger and began to light the carriage of the baggage camp.
General Wang Ting of the Chinese Army immediately ordered the front and rear teams to shrink towards the Chinese army, trying to impact the speed with the cavalry at both ends, and then defeat the Han people. However, the leading team turned around and was ready to kill and rescue. A feather arrow was put down from the hillside. It was dense like a rainstorm.
I don't know how many Han people rushed down the mountain. The front team of wolf riding had to retreat while fighting.
After that, the team also saw a large number of Han soldiers on the hillside.
Especially the rear team, because the distance is too long from the Chinese army, we don't know what happened to the Chinese army. When they saw that the Han people appeared without a flag, they thought they were just wandering bandits and refugees. At first, they didn't care.
When the news of the Chinese Army's emergency came, the wolf cavalry of the rear team was in a hurry.
"Half an hour!"
The fierce general Chu Feiyun murmured four words and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth.
Song Zihui told him to hold on for at least half an hour!
Although he did not know why Song Zi regretted this arrangement, he knew that the victory or defeat of the war depended on himself. General Song said that as long as he could hold on for half an hour, reinforcements would arrive!
He took the troops of six Zhechong battalions to raid the baggage camp of the enemy's middle army. They have succeeded. Now, they are firmly guarding this section of the official road. The soldiers of the six folding camps must bear the wolf cavalry who rushed from all directions and tried to encircle and annihilate them.
"General!"
On the hillside, a general saw that Chu Feiyun's Department was surrounded by groups, and his eyes were red: "order to send troops quickly. If you don't send troops again, Chu Feiyun's people will not be saved!"
"Wait!"
Song Zi regretted biting the cracked lips and biting the blood to seep out.
"Wait!"
He resisted other people's advice.
"I know you love the brothers below. I'm their general. I'm more distressed than you! But now the wolf cavalry are not all concentrated there, and the enemies at the head and tail are not completely restrained, so I have to wait! Only when the wolf cavalry of the Chinese army are concentrated and their forces are crowded together, can the speed of the cavalry be really restrained! No No, many brothers will die now, but I'm waiting so that more brothers don't have to die! "
His eyes were turning red and his voice seemed to tear.
"They are all born by my mother, flesh and blood, and my brother song Zihui... How can I not be distressed? They insist for a little longer so that more brothers can survive."
He knelt down slowly and bowed deeply to the place where Chu Feiyun was fighting.
"In order to win this battle, I'm sorry for you!"
There were muddy tears in his eyes.
The generals standing beside him knelt down after a moment.
