Taoist Songfeng patted the saddle anxiously and said: "Old Qi, don't be stupid. You can't leave at this time. We are all in this together. We will both prosper and suffer!"
Qi Qianli gritted his teeth and sneered: "I have horses and cavalry. I can come when I want and leave when I want. What's the reason why I can't leave? What Gou Lin and your Tiandao Alliance are talking about about cooperation is to settle down together and settle down here." I, Qi Qianli, have never promised anything about Jingzhou. When you came to find me a few months ago, I also agreed that you can come and go freely. I didn't sell it to you, Tiandao Alliance."
Taoist Songfeng nodded: "Yes, our deity did say it first. You are free to come and go. We are in a cooperative relationship. However, this is on the battlefield and the battle is not over yet. Isn't it your duty to obey military orders?" Is it something like your subordinates, you want them to fight, but they want to leave, and you allow it? "
Qi Qianli laughed loudly and said: "Songfeng, you can try whether my subordinates listen to me or yours. I will stand here to see if you give them orders. Is anyone listening? We Qiang Di people are in Longyou. , is free in nature, doesn’t like to be restricted, and wants us to die, so don’t be naive.”
Taoist Songfeng rolled his eyes and smiled: "Okay, Lao Qi, let's not talk about this. Fighting and killing on the battlefield is not about dying. You saw these elite cavalry of the Jin army coming with ferocious force. Are you scared?"
A trace of disdain flashed across Qi Qianli's face: "You don't need to provoke the generals. Whether they are strong or weak, what does it have to do with me? We have already fought and paid casualties and sacrifices. Originally, I was You want to avenge my brother. You said that the person who killed him was Huan Chu with the surname Guo, and Guo Zihe also died in the battle. I don’t care about this with you. As long as we take our own spoils and leave, this is called freedom of coming and going. ,Understand?"
Taoist Songfeng shook his head: "I won't stop you from leaving, but think about it, can you leave freely? These Jin soldiers don't know what freedom of coming and going is. They will only see that you are in Our soldiers have taken their things and want to leave the battlefield. Moreover, you are cavalry and pose the greatest threat to them. When the time comes, do you think they will attack our infantry square first, or come after you from the flanks? Where are the roundabout cavalry?!”
Qi Qianli could not refute at this moment, his eyes were shining with light. At this time, Xu Shicheng and others on the other side also rushed here with hundreds of soldiers. Two of them carried the overturned empty boxes and headed towards the distance. They rushed to the defense line, and under those hills, Tianshi Dao's infantry array had also quickly assembled, running towards the direction of the Jin Cavalry attack on the other side. At this moment, it could be seen from the smoke , hundreds of Jin cavalrymen were charging forward, shouting and holding spears and sabers.
Taoist Songfeng said in a deep voice: "Old Qi, this is a battlefield. There is no way to come and go freely. Even if I don't stop you, the Jin army will not let you go. Your brother has taken so many trophies now. With mounts piled everywhere, how can you still think about fighting? The first wave of the Jin army's attack included hundreds of cavalry, and there must be follow-up troops behind them. By then, you brothers who have no fighting spirit will lead them. If you leave with a large amount of loot, how can you fight the Jin army if you encounter it on the road? Fighting here, we can join forces side by side and defeat the Jin cavalry with the advantage of our strength. If you leave alone, can you still withdraw from the battlefield? "
Qi Qianli gritted his teeth: "No big deal, I'll just throw these things away and leave on horseback."
Taoist Songfeng pointed behind Qi Qianli: "You only have three or four hundred horses here, and there are five or six hundred sergeants who don't have horses. Are you going to leave them like this?"
Qi Qianli sighed: "What do you want me to do? Tell these brothers to throw away the spoils they have obtained and go back to fight?"
Taoist Songfeng shook his head: "I said, it's not about fighting, it's about survival. We can't retreat now. The Jin army has come from behind us. If we don't fight, we will be wiped out by them. I promise you, this The battle is won, and we take advantage of the victory to take Jiangling. When the time comes, the entire city will be free for you to plunder as much as you want. Compared with the prosperous Jiangling City, what do the cloths in these camps mean?"
Qi Qianli's eyes began to shine, and before he knew it, hundreds of sergeants had gathered around the scene where the two of them were talking. These Qiang and Di soldiers were not just focused on grabbing things, at least for the enemy cavalry two miles away. He was still alert to the attack, and now listening to the conversation between the two, they also gathered around, wanting to hear the result.
When they heard that Jiangling City was being plundered, all the soldiers' eyes shone brightly, and Qi Qianli gritted his teeth: "Even if we are allowed to go to Jiangling City to plunder, we still have to go back to our hometown. This place, Jingzhou, None of us want to keep it.”
Taoist Songfeng laughed loudly and said: "What's so difficult about this? Those who want to stay will be given land to buy property, and those who want to leave will be welcomed to leave. Moreover, you will be safe on the way back home. Now you can forget about it If you can leave the battlefield, the northern part of Jingzhou and Yongzhou are in the hands of the Jin army. I'm afraid you won't be able to return home. Only by completing this battle and making new achievements can you open the way back home."
The Qiang and Di people on the side nodded repeatedly and shouted in unison: "We are willing to fight, we are willing to fight."
Qi Qianli frowned and said, "Even if we want to fight, how should we fight? Attack the Jin army's flanks or go around behind them to attack them?"
Taoist Songfeng pointed to Xu Shicheng's troops who were holding big boxes and hurried towards the infantry array, and said: "The infantry now needs time to form an array, so they came to get these luggage boxes and carts and place them in front of the array. If we want to fight, we must buy time for the infantry to reorganize. After all, they have to change their formation and turn around to attack the enemy behind them. Lao Qi, we have to launch a frontal counterattack against the Jin army's cavalry."
Qi Qianli's expression changed: "What, counterattack from the front? Are we going to die?"
Taoist Songfeng gritted his teeth: "We are not going to die, we are just the first batch to go out. We do not seek to eliminate the Jin cavalry. As long as we slow down their speed, our infantry will have a chance to follow up in the battle. By then, the infantry on the front If they engage in a melee with their cavalry, our cavalry will have the opportunity to rush over and attack behind them."
Qi Qianli still frowned: "But in this way, it will be entirely up to us to block the most violent first batch of attacks by the Jin army. With one charge, I am afraid we will have to kill at least two hundred brothers."
