When people of later generations look at wars, they always think that the development of a certain war is the result of the general's hard thinking and calculation day and night. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
Once any war begins, generals and commanders at all levels must respond to changes and make decisions in the shortest possible time. How can there be room for slow deliberation?
Being able to make quick decisions without hesitation is an essential skill for an outstanding general. Without this, he will not be able to adapt to the ever-changing battlefield with its myriad developments.
Just like the current situation, when Qiu Huiluo saw the coming of the red coat army, he knew that he could not stop them. He immediately waved his sword and ordered: "Disperse! Open the way! Don't block it!"
When everyone dispersed to both sides, he ordered more pine torches to be lit. Everyone shouted, maybe Guo Jiedu's troops had already set off from Zhucheng and were about to reach the battlefield, or General Li's main force was in the west. They lined up to intercept, or in other words, all the roads and bridges further west were cut off. The fourth lady, Yang Miaozhen, could not see the enemy and had already knelt down to beg for surrender.
All the rumors are very absurd, but since the Red Coat Army retreated in frustration, how can they tell the truth in detail?
On the short road, the generals of the Red Coat Army shouted orders repeatedly, but they could not stop the soldiers from running faster and faster, the queue became more and more chaotic, and some people even broke away from the team and ran into the wilderness.
Then the sound of Li Ting and Gao Xin's cavalry galloping and shouting for kill came closer and closer, as if they were about to turn defeat into victory.
Qiu Huiluo was very happy and said to his left and right: "Tell the brothers to keep shouting."
After saying that, he took a dozen soldiers and turned back near the road.
At this time, they were all still wearing the uniforms of the red coat army, which they had previously prepared to capture the city.
Everyone in Ding Haijun is very ambitious and courageous. In order to rescue Li Ting, Qiu Huiluo had to turn back from the gate of Zhucheng and gave up the opportunity to seize the city. Now that the situation was favorable, he couldn't help but think: "The Red Coat Army lost two battles in a row, and the morale of the army became more and more panicked. Perhaps, we can follow Yang Miaozhen's troops into the city and see if we can coordinate internally and externally."
With this intention in mind, he slowly approached the road, stood in the grass, and looked at the groups of red-coated soldiers who were hurriedly retreating, trying to pick out a few red-coated soldiers who were alone or in a panic. Once he finds a suitable target, he will come close to say hello, and then say a few words until he becomes familiar with the target, which can be used as a cover.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the roadside, there was a loud sound of hooves, and a cavalry rushed towards him from the thick fog.
An old knight at the head shouted loudly and asked: "Which general are you subordinate to? How is the situation over there in Zhucheng?"
A soldier next to Qiu Huiluo shouted in a slur, and immediately responded: "Zhucheng has been lost! The Ding navy brigade is coming from the city! The fourth lady Yang Miaozhen's troops have been completely routed! Everyone, run away!" ah!"
Qiu Hui and Luo Li knew it was bad when these words came out.
Previously, there was no harm in talking nonsense in the darkness on both sides of the road. Now the two sides were standing face to face. The horseman on the opposite side shouted, "Is this what you said?" You are just a pawn, what is your identity and you know this? Seeing one's own victory, I feel dizzy! Treat your enemies as fools!
"Quickly go!" Qiu Hui stretched out his hand violently, grabbed the soldier's shoulder and pulled him back.
But the red-coated veteran who asked the question was already very angry and laughed: "It turns out that you are just talking nonsense and ruining the morale of our army!"
Immediately, the cavalry rushed forward one after another. In the dark night, there was chaos on the side of the road, with dozens of people killing each other.
The commander of Qiu Huiluo's soldiers, Nian Ba'en, who was born in the Yi Army, saw the enemy cavalry approaching instantly, so he held a spear in one hand and threw it at the charging enemy.
The red-coated knight had no time to evade, so he threw away his long knife and grabbed the gun shaft with both hands, but ended up grabbing the blade with both hands. The seven-inch-long blade instantly cut off six of his fingers, and then stabbed his chest, penetrating deeply.
Because the mount was running forward, the man with the spear fell backwards, screaming and falling off the horse.
Almost at the same time, another red-coated knight rushed out from the side and cut off Nian Baen's stretched out arm with a knife. Nian Baen grabbed the wound of the broken arm with his backhand and staggered back, but failed to pay attention to the situation next to him. Another cavalryman knocked him down with his horse, and the horse's hoof trampled between his chest and abdomen, instantly killing him.
The horse that trampled Nian Ba'en immediately stumbled and neighed. It turned out that Qiu Huiluo had dazzled him with a pine torch. While the horses were galloping, the knight had been pulled off the ground by Qiu Huiluo.
The knight fell on his back, his eyes flashing with stars, and his upper and lower rows of teeth almost bit off his tongue. He opened his mouth and spat out blood.
Unexpectedly, he didn't let go of the long knife, but came back to stab Qiu Huiluo in the neck.
In order to hang out with the soldiers in red coats, Qiu Huiluo had previously removed his armor and stomach as if he were a soldier. If he was stabbed this time, he would die immediately.
In an instant, he didn't care about picking up the weapon, and directly smashed the knight's face with the end of the torch. After two or three blows, the knight's eyes were poked and burst into tears, the bridge of his nose was broken, and the teeth in his mouth flew out. The torch as thick as a child's arm was inserted into his throat from his wide open mouth.
Qiu Huiluo's face was burned by the flames, his eyebrows were burned bald, and he had several big blisters, not to mention that the world was spinning in front of his eyes.
Just as he was about to stand up on the ground, the furious veteran rushed his horse and stabbed him with his gun.
Before Qiu Huiluo could react, the soldier who had said the wrong thing earlier ran back from behind and pushed his general to the side. When Qiu Huiluo fell to the ground, the spear in the veteran's hand penetrated the chest of the soldier, immediately penetrated the back, and hit the ground behind him with a pop.
The soldiers howled miserably, reaching out to grab the reins of the veteran's horse.
The veteran turned his hand to draw his gun and stab him again. Qiu Huiluo took off an iron bone flower from his back and hit it on the neck of his horse with its head covering his face.
Qiu Huiluo's martial arts was very outstanding, and Guo Ning even learned the use of Tieguduo from him back then. This time it fell, with two muffled pop-pop sounds, the horse's neck ridge was broken, and the horse's head sank.
The veteran tried his best to lift the reins, but the men fell forward along with the horses.
He rolled on the ground twice, and Qiu Huiluo caught up with him in big strides, and beat him with his Iron Bone Flower.
Just as he was about to take the veteran's life, several more cavalry arrived from behind.
The leading knight danced wildly with his spear and stabbed wildly, instantly cutting a bloody path through the entangled and fighting crowd.
"Uncle, uncle, get on the horse quickly!"
The knight's voice was very sharp. She swept across with a gun, forcing Qiu Huiluo to take two steps back, and then several people gathered around him, helped the veteran onto his horse, and disappeared in a flash.
The sound of hoofbeats rumbled several times, and the cavalry broke through the thick fog and disappeared into the night again.
Only then did Qiu Huiluo realize that this veteran must be Liu Quan, a veteran of the Red Coat Army, and that the gun-wielding knight who had just rushed over was Yang Miaozhen.
It's a pity that we don't have enough troops around us... If we catch these two people here, wouldn't it be a great achievement in capturing the thief and the king?
It's a shame that this battle is only one step away from victory!
Qiu Huiluo sighed, and when he was about to give some instructions to his companions, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck.
He subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, only to feel warm blood on his hand. There was more blood seeping out from the gaps between his fingers.
】
It was the enemy who was killed by him with a torch just now! Did his knife actually stab me?
Qiu Huiluo screamed and reached out to touch the injured area. The touch of his fingertips told him that a blade should have been broken at the connection between the shoulder blade and the neck. When he was about to pull out the blade, a soldier rushed forward and hugged Qiu Huiluo's arm: "You can't pull it out! You can't pull it out!"
God knows what key point this blade struck? If the blade is pulled out and a large blood vessel ruptures, death will follow immediately!
Qiu Huiluo was dizzy at this time and could no longer hold on. Although the sky was dark in front of him, his field of vision was even darker. He felt that no one could be seen in front of him, and he couldn't see his fingers.
He tried his best to cheer up and whispered: "I'm fine! Go tell Li Erlang that cavalry alone can't do it! You have to bring up the infantry at the back, slowly..."
At this point, his breathing became short and he fell into a daze. After a while, he vaguely heard the anxious and angry voices of Li Ting and Gao Xin, and he quickly opened his mouth. But he soon lost the strength to open his mouth, and his head tilted and drooped.
