Nearly a hundred soldiers lay on the ground in the woods on both sides of the road outside Sandaoling Village, staring into the distance. Most of the soldiers were still breathing heavily and did not even bother to wipe the sweat from their faces. It was obvious that these soldiers came in a hurry.
There was not much time left for the Jin army, and Guan Cheng also gave the order decisively. Even a moment seemed precious at this time.
Wu Chengju took the initiative to ask for military service, hoping to prove his courage as the first military leader in the Jin Dynasty.
The long bronze sword in his hand was already unsheathed and the tip of the sword was pointed forward, while Wu Chengju was staring at a big tree to the east, where there were almost nimble soldiers acting as sentinels for the army.
Everyone's breathing was extremely heavy. Different from the previous battles, this time the soldiers knew that they were at an absolute disadvantage, especially the recruits who had just joined the army. They were so nervous that they had difficulty breathing and looked around them from time to time. A fairly calm veteran.
"If the word goes on, everyone should lie down and cover themselves with branches or something. If anyone dares to leak any news, I will chop him up with my own hands!"
In fact, Wu Chengju didn't know that his order was a bit redundant. At this time of life and death, no one dared to make fun of his own life. Even some people who couldn't stand the atmosphere and peed their crotch didn't dare to move more.
Wu Chengju glanced at it with deep meaning and then turned back, sighing secretly in his heart, and praying secretly at the same time.
They are the first line of defense here, and whether they can build momentum is crucial.
Guan Cheng was also dressed neatly at this time. He was still wearing the same black iron armor with a buckle, but he had removed the armor from it for concealment. Although he lacked some heroic spirit, it also made many soldiers feel more friendly. And, this was something Guan Cheng didn't expect.
At this time, he was standing at the highest place in the village, with only two guards around him to serve as flag bearers.
There is a big red cloak and the king's flag with the word Jin behind him, but it's a pity that there is no wind to help.
Guan Cheng has never felt that time is as torturous as it is now. He feels that he has been waiting for too long, and he feels that he has been prepared too hastily.
Guan Cheng looked back and saw a long motorcade. There was a carriage in the middle of the motorcade. On the carriage, a pretty and lovely girl was lying on the carriage window looking over here.
When Guan Cheng saw this scene, he suddenly felt huge satisfaction in his heart.
Nearly a thousand carts, more than a hundred soldiers, and more than 2,000 old, weak, women and children. These will be his strongest foundation in the future. From scratch, from few to many, the Jin Kingdom is in the west. The journey has an end.
I think back when our ancestors started their business, Bingjia Ding was very talented. How could he not have conquered the country of tens of thousands of miles? They were all named Guan, so how could they know that there was no prosperity waiting in their hands.
The soldier next to him didn't know why, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different about His Highness in front of him. The feeling was hard to describe, but he needed to look up to him.
Jin Bing did not let Guan Cheng wait too long. Soon the noisy sound reached his ears, and then gradually became clearer.
The wheels of the cart made a harsh sound as they pressed against the ground, and the dust kicked up by the running of more than a thousand people on the ground could be seen clearly from miles away.
The Jin soldiers who were standing sentry on the tree quickly sent out the signal, and then hurriedly slid down from the tree and rushed to the place chosen in advance to hide.
Tang Chou traveled quickly and finally caught up with the Jin army. At this time, he wanted to fly over and carry Guan Cheng back like a little chicken. As long as he had military exploits, who would dare to underestimate him.
There was nothing unusual in the eyes of the soldiers passing by on both sides of the road, and Tang Chou didn't take it seriously. Along the way, he encountered many places where he thought there might be an ambush, but none of them were safe.
At present, the Jin army is probably busy evading. According to the news reported by the scouts, the large group of Jin army is retreating hurriedly to the west.
The opponent who was already frightened was simply given military glory to his door.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't leave the Jin army. If you can capture the enemy general alive and get promoted to three levels in a row, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Tang Chou's words undoubtedly made the Jin Army soldiers who were already extremely tired take a breath again, and their potential was well stimulated under the heavy reward.
From the soldiers to the track commander to the company commander, officers at every level stepped up their efforts to raise the morale of the Jin soldiers to a higher level. In addition, the Jin Army scouts who came and went shouted "The enemy is heading west." Words like "Retreat" made many Jin soldiers let out a long sigh of relief and then put their hearts in their stomachs.
The army accelerated again, and the dust kicked up filled the sky and covered the sun.
"Colonel Lieutenant, are we being too careless in rushing like this? If the enemy ambushes and suddenly breaks out, our army will be in an extremely dangerous situation."
Brigade deputy Zhao Zhi was a little worried. He was one of the few generals who did not look down on Tang Chou. As Tang Chou's deputy, he was once dissatisfied. However, over the past year, Zhao Zhi gradually discovered that the handsome man in front of him was famous for his handsomeness. What kind of perseverance does a young man need to swallow all the rumors?
Moreover, Zhao Zhi found that Tang Qiu was actually very good at training troops. Although he was not as good as Lin Zhiming, he was definitely at the forefront in the Jin Kingdom. That is to say, Zuo Sima was deeply prejudiced against him. Whether it was weapons or soldiers, they were the worst. , far from being compared with Lin Zhiming’s C-shaped brigade, let alone Yan Tao’s brother-in-law’s A-shaped brigade.
Tang Chou looked back at Zhao Zhi and said with a smile: "How can I not know this? But do you think how many people can be ambushed in this forest? I'm afraid there are only a hundred people. I just saw a tree branch suddenly falling. It must be that It’s just Guan Cheng’s warning.”
"I have learned that Guan Cheng lost at least 2,000 people in the two night battles, but he only had more than 2,000 people from Zhili County. How many are left now? As for the sword-wielding hands of the new recruits who came in, It’s good if it doesn’t shake.”
Then Tang Chou pointed to the dust that was still vaguely visible in the distance and said, "Look, the Jin army is running for their lives at this time." Then he burst into laughter.
Zhao Zhi was a little cautious by nature. Although he felt relieved after hearing Tang Chou's words, he still said: "I'm afraid this is a trick of the Jin army to lure the enemy. They deliberately show weakness to paralyze our army and suddenly attack when our army is careless."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout was heard in the forest.
"Fire the arrow!"
Tang Chou's expression changed drastically. He was just thinking about sending someone to investigate, but he didn't expect that he was actually ambushed.
Dozens of arrows flew out from the groves on both sides. Although most of them missed, a dozen arrows still pierced the bodies of the golden soldiers, causing a burst of screams.
The sudden attack caused the Jin soldiers to panic. The soldiers looked for the enemy in a panic and inevitably stopped. However, the soldiers behind did not know what was happening in front, and they bumped into each other as they walked. Just a few In the blink of an eye, Jin Jun became completely confused in one place.
But riots are a contagious thing and not slowly.
The unlucky man who was knocked to the ground was instantly trampled on the ground by invisible big feet, causing bursts of wailing, and the wailing made the nearby soldiers even more nervous. They held up the spears in their hands and didn't know where to point them.
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot for me, shoot to death!" Wu Chengju's roar echoed in the forest, followed by sharp arrows piercing through the forest, ringing in the ears to attract the souls of the dead.
Tang Chou's face was so black that ink dripped from his face. Damn it, could the Jin army never fight an honest battle?
Tang Chou didn't panic, he just felt disgusted. Even Zhao Zhi next to him said: "Lieutenant, the enemy in the forest must not number more than a hundred people. Send soldiers to attack them immediately!"
