Chapter 1187 is full of blood!
Li Laosi was anxious at that time, "No, Lord Marquis. The vanguard army has always been under my control. Besides, you are the commander-in-chief, so naturally you have to be in charge of the border!"
The Marquis frowned and argued, "A detour and sneak attack is the key to this decisive battle. I won't worry if I don't lead the troops."
Li Laosi strongly disagreed, "No, I'll lead the troops. I will definitely be more careful!"
The two had differences for the first time, and neither could convince the other.
At this time, Jiang Cheng suggested with a helpless smile, "Master Marquis, four generals, why don't you all lead the troops to make a detour together. Leave this place to me at the border, isn't it just a matter of dispatching troops upon orders? I will definitely be able to do the job! If something goes wrong Chazi, I’ll see you in person!
"Besides, we are about to win a victory and triumph. Even though I have the title of general, I have never led troops to the battlefield even once. It's really embarrassing to say that. Just think that I am taking the credit and give me some of the errands!"
At this point, it seems that it’s really hard to refuse.
Li Laosi and Mr. Hou looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then both nodded.
At this point, the strategy of detouring through the valley and enveloping and attacking has been decided.
In order to keep it secret, the Marquis did not tell anyone. He just walked around the border with his soldiers and checked the defense.
The three thousand pioneers had enough to eat and drink, and the horses were fed. As soon as it got dark, they left the border pass under the leadership of Marquis and Li Laosi.
Mu Jue led several scout teams and set out early to explore the road ahead.
Jiang Cheng stood on the city wall, looking at the retreating team with a somewhat incomprehensible expression.
An offended general came over and said, "General, the brothers in charge of patrol have given instructions, and no one will reveal that the Marquis has sent troops."
Jiang Cheng nodded and responded in a low voice, "This dispatch of troops is extremely confidential, and it is related to the outcome of the final battle. We must not leak the information, and we must hide it for a day no matter what, or we will ruin the arrangements of the Marquis."
The deputy general was really curious and asked, "The Marquis personally led the vanguard battalion this time. I don't know how to arrange it? I must be able to kill all the barbarians, and I will save worry in the future."
Jiang Cheng glared and scolded, "Stop asking about things you shouldn't know. When the war starts, just try your best to swing your sword."
After saying that, he went down from the tower. The lieutenant who stayed behind didn't care and walked a few steps away with a smile...
Besides, the vanguard army wrapped their horses' hooves and quietly circled the hill.
When we arrived at the valley, it was already midnight.
The Marquis ordered everyone to rest where they were and prepare to march quickly after crossing the valley, trying to get behind the barbarians as early as possible and start an encirclement battle immediately.
At a quarter of an hour in the evening, there is a risk of being discovered by barbarians and ruining the plan.
Mu Jue and his men had already circled the hills on both sides of the valley and rushed back after making sure there was no danger.
“Master Hou, there is no problem on the mountain. You can pass with confidence.”
The Marquis gave Mu Jue the water bag and dry food in his hand, and then looked at the valley with his eyes still deep.
I don’t know if it was because of this final battle that he was too nervous.
Why does he always feel that the dark valley is like the mouth of a giant beast, just waiting to swallow up his team?
Li Laosi choked on his dry food, drank a few sips of water, finally recovered, and cursed in a low voice, "Hurry up and finish this battle, let's go home! It's really not a human life, I can't even dream of it." Home meals!”
Mu Jue also smiled and said, "Yes, the princess has thought about a new dish called cold noodles. It has sweet and sour soup, smooth noodles, served with soy sauce sliced pork, cucumber shreds, spicy cabbage, and large vegetables. The handful of sesame seeds are simply delicious and appetizing, a great tool for relieving the heat.
“The threshold of Cyclamen was almost stepped down by diners, who all came to eat cold noodles. Other restaurants also imitated it, but unfortunately the taste is far worse than ours.”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, even the Marquis raised the corners of his mouth.
When it comes to cooking, there may be many people in the world who are better than me, but when it comes to novelty, no one can match it...
After resting for two quarters of an hour, everyone got up and prepared to pass through the valley. Before setting off, the Marquis gave an order, "Divide into two teams, the front and rear, and the fourth will lead the people through first. After you pass, I will lead the rear team and then enter the valley."
Li Laosi wanted to say that it was too troublesome, but the soldiers were nearby, so he couldn't refute, so he took half of the men and left first.
The valley is not long, only about five or six miles.
In just two quarters of an hour, the tail of the front team was about to leave the valley.
Seeing that there was indeed no problem, the Marquis led the rear team and quickly rushed into the valley.
But halfway through, the originally quiet hills on both sides suddenly lit up with countless torches.
The horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army were frightened, sneezing and extremely agitated.
Before anyone could react, countless large and small rocks rolled down the mountain, making a rumble and thunderous force.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” Everyone shouted!
The Marquis drew out his sword and gave an order loudly.
“Climb up the hill on the left! Don’t run away, don’t lose your position!”
The vanguard army has experienced hundreds of battles, and the soldiers are not cowards. They were just attacked suddenly and were in chaos for a while.
Hearing the command from the coach, everyone rushed towards the hill on the left.
Stones, big and small, were rolled down so as not to hit the horses or soldiers.
But it’s still safer than being beaten to pulp in a valley.
Soldiers were knocked down one after another, and the horses were neighing.
But the enemy is on the mountain, and only by climbing up can the defeat be reversed!
The Marquis took the lead and rushed to the top of the mountain. As expected, there were hundreds of barbarians pushing stones. When they saw the Northern Expeditionary Army coming up, they also pulled out their sabers and rushed forward screaming.
For a time, the two parties were fighting together!
Li Laosi originally led half of the vanguard army and had already passed the valley. He was about to explore the road ahead when he heard the movement and was startled.
The valley that was supposed to be quiet has become a place of blood and fire in the blink of an eye.
“Master Hou!”
Li Laosi was so shocked that his eyes were splitting, he turned his horse's head and led people to rescue him.
After all, he has been in the army for many years and has not yet been overwhelmed by anger.
He led half of the vanguard army directly up the hillside. Only by defeating the enemies on the top of the hill could he save most of the soldiers halfway down the hillside!
In the dark night, the sounds of shouts, horses neighing, and the clash of swords and guns were mixed together, full of the smell of blood!
When the sky was getting slightly brighter, the battle finally came to an end.
The remaining troops on the top of the hill were all the Northern Expeditionary Army, and almost all the barbarians who made a sneak attack were killed.
Of course, the losses of the Northern Expeditionary Army were not small.
At least half of the war horses were dead, and even among those who were alive, many had broken legs and were wailing.
Of the three thousand Northern Expeditionary Army, five hundred were killed and seven to eight hundred wounded, and their combat strength was almost reduced by half!
This is still divided into two teams, front and rear, entering the valley. If they pass through together, I am afraid that not even three or four hundred of them will be left intact!
That is the Marquis, who had a hole in his thigh with a spear.
Li Laosi was heartbroken and regretted that he had led the front team and left the danger to the Marquis.
Mu Jue's face was even more pale. He had obviously led people to investigate, and there was no ambush on the top of the mountain. Why did the barbarians suddenly appear?
Did the barbarians already know the news and lurk behind the mountain, just waiting for him to investigate and then come up?
