Minister

177 [The second year of Zhenglong]

Zuzi was sitting in front of the desk in a daze. The simple military tent was set up in a hurry, and the withered grass on the territory of Qi State could still be seen beside the felt under his feet.This is the cruel notch of winter, even a life that cannot speak can also express sadness.The wind in Qi was equally bitter, and through the gaps in the door tents, soldiers could be vaguely seen walking around.Many years ago, Kuz was still a teenager. In that simple tent, he looked at the melancholy faces of his family members, and also saw soldiers in the same clothes through the gaps in the tent.

The next day, in a quiet morning, I packed my luggage alone and followed the Monan soldiers on the road. The place called my hometown was already a piece of scorched earth, and the felt cloth wrapped in luggage was stained with the blood of relatives.The moon is in the sky, reflecting the far edge of the earth, where?There?where?I was lost, and I stumbled forward, my soul seemed to be stripped of the pain, floating in the air in an illusory way, not knowing joy or sorrow.

"Kuz?"

"Ah?" Kuzi was startled, and smiled embarrassedly: "You can't sleep?"

Dukaer pretended to be relaxed: "You overestimate me."

It was only then that Muzi realized that he had walked outside the tent unknowingly. The moon outside the tent was on the horizon, reflecting the edge of the land far away. The only difference was that there was a silhouette of a huge city dotted here.

where?here.

"It's too cold." Zuzi hugged his arms perfunctorily.

Only then did Dukaer realize the gloom in his eyes: "You have this expression again! You can't do it, think about it, but with the victory of Jiaxing, you will get the surname of a nobleman. If you conquer the capital of Qi State this time, you will be the founder of the country. Humerus. When the Eldest Princess marries you, she will be the dignified Prince Regent! Think about the jealous expressions of those people! Tsk tsk tsk, everything is worth it."

"Can massacre the city?" Zuzi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue: "I can't covet the eldest princess."

Dukaer: "Then you are humble, who can surpass you?"

"General! General!" A sergeant hurried over and interrupted their chat.

Kuz's heart skipped a beat!

"There is an ambush!!"

The firecrackers ambushing in Liuqiao Town were slaughtering the soldiers in Monan, and these flesh and blood bodies fell into a pool of blood before they had time to react.Before Muzi figured out how the Qi army was going to lay an ambush on the plain, more than half of the 3 people he sent had been lost. This was not just an ambush, it was an encirclement that could not be rushed out. What Wei Chi wanted to see was not once. To attack the enemy's vigor, what she planned was an annihilation battle.

Half an hour ago, it was [-] to [-], and now it is [-] to [-].

Is Chiefs going to choose reinforcements or give up?

Just as he guessed the enemy's mind, the enemy could predict his reluctance.

It's just that the enemy didn't know how much he valued the 3 people. The leader of the 1 reinforcements this time was none other than Kuz himself.It only takes a quarter of an hour to reach Liuqiao Town, and the smoke of gunpowder stepped out by 1 people has reached the place where the war is raging.As expected by Zuzi, the Qi army was equipped with very limited firearms, and its attack power could never be compared with that of cannons, and it was impossible to wipe out 3 people in one fell swoop.As long as you maintain your morale, you will be able to counterattack successfully.The primary problem now is to find those 3 people and join them.

It is very easy to find that little light in the dark.

Of course Wei Chi also knew about this.

With 2 cavalry, all the troops in the capital were exhausted, and Wei Chi could not hand them over to anyone, so their general was herself.If he can't succeed, then he and these [-] people will become benevolent together.The enemy's reinforcements arrived as scheduled, and the momentum was like an arrow leaving the string.Standing in front of the formation, Wei Chi stood here as the number one general for the first time, facing the formidable enemy rushing forward, clasping the soil of the motherland with thunderous iron hooves, just like clasping his heart.

Wei Chi drew out the long knife in his hand and pointed it at the sky.

A bright cannonball immediately flew out in the direction she pointed, shining a brilliant light in the sky.

"Come on!"

The horses and warriors roared forward.

The two troops, like two polished swords, collided together, and the flames splashed.

According to the agreement, the soldiers of the Qi side tied a round shield to their vests in accordance with the tradition of Hebei Wei, and there were proud golden feathers on their helmets, so they could easily distinguish each other in the dim moonlight.The well-trained elite troops divided the entire 2 people into teams of six, and methodically divided them into thousands of sharp daggers on the dark battlefield, strangling the flesh and blood of the enemy.

Monan soldiers, as the elite rangers, have powerful lethality alone, and 1 soldiers also have a force that cannot be underestimated.

The cold blade in Wei Chi's hand quickly became hot, and the smell of blood made his past on the grassland vivid.

From the hesitation of encountering an ambush for the first time, to the shock outside the capital of Monan, from the death of Du Ran, to the tragic feeling in Fengyi City.

Because the usual formation of the Monan people is a very long parallel column, the first batch of firecrackers' attack has achieved good results.But the second column that was following immediately discovered that this was the main force of the Qi army, and began to press down strongly, creating opportunities for the encirclement of the enemy.The armor of the Monan people is very strong, and the effect of long spears on this kind of armor is not obvious. The two sides started a tug-of-war.

Central Plains is good at firearms, while Monan is good at riding and shooting.At this moment, bow and arrow are more dominant.But just as the people of Monan can train infantry, the elite of the Central Plains cavalry - Hebei Wei also trained superb shooting skills.

In addition to the sword, the rain of arrows became more dense.

Monan, like Qi Bing, has a six-member cavalry combination, but there are only two heavy cavalry. The Qi people arranged their own formation based on the tactics they learned from Monan. Of course, they know where the opponent's weak points are.The six men of Qi did not strictly distinguish between heavy cavalry and light cavalry. With their abundant national power, they were all equipped with exquisite armor. The difference was that two of them held long weapons, three held firearms, and one held short weapons.Long weapons are used to distance the enemy and create gaps for firearms to fill. Firearms focus on attacking the opponent's heavy cavalry. Once the heavy cavalry is captured, it only takes time to eliminate the light cavalry.And the man with the short weapon is the one who arranges all these. Unlike the Monan people who command the army with smoke and flames, the leader of this small team commands his soldiers to charge into battle with the sharp whistle in his mouth.

The Monan people know that their goal is close at hand, but they seem to be trapped here and difficult to reach.The flames in Liuqiao Town were soaring into the sky, and the explosion of the firecrackers was more like crying.Facing the enemy's tenacious resistance, Kuz finally couldn't help it: "Order all the staff to move forward!"

His mount has accompanied him on many battlefields, but it seems that this is the first time that his master has personally charged into battle, and it can't wait to jump up and rush into the battle circle.

This is a battle that does not require command, because each other's goals are extremely clear.

But Zuzi understands that the Qi army is the same as himself, there will be a leader, and he wants to find him!kill!

After nearly two hours of fighting, Wei Chi felt that his knife edge had been rolled, and the blood on his battle armor had condensed into ice, but he was relieved that the enemy could not move forward, and the light of dawn began to faint faintly in the east. Dyeing, hazy mist began to fill the air.Different from the previous morning, the water vapor seemed to be red. Wei Chi's mount was panting tiredly, and the outline of the corpse could gradually be seen clearly on the black soil in front of him.The rain of arrows in the air gradually thinned out, and Wei Chi escaped a new round of attacks only to realize that he and Populus euphratica were separated.While she was looking for and observing the battle situation, a cold arrow shot over. If she hadn't happened to turn her head to the side, it would have hit her forehead by chance!

who? !

The moment the archer put down his bow and arrow, he was also surprised. The person he had been looking for all night seemed to have appeared by chance.

who are you?

At the moment when their eyes met, Zuzi instinctively felt that this person was that Wei Chi.

Someone once told him that Wei Chi was as handsome as a girl.

This person is as handsome as a girl?No?The blood made it difficult to recognize his appearance, but he seemed really different from others.

Who are you?You have a beast's face printed on your breastplate, are you the leader of this team?

You are Feng Yi's Wei Chi!

In the pink water vapor, Wei Chi saw the shadow of the bow gradually become clear, and the light of the morning allowed her to see the unique animal bone on his hat.

When he was chased by the Monan cavalry for the first time, Du Yun once came back with a similar head.

This person is Kuz?The prodigy that made Jiaxing fall in the eyes of the spies?

Du Yun, you have to be optimistic!Watch how I take his head!

Neither of them had ever heard of the other's superb martial arts skills, and they both seemed to have a hundredfold confidence. Beiyuan's scimitar and Zhongyuan's Miaodao clashed together, and the two horses neighed and began to circle around.

Monan's flower knives are famous on the battlefield, and Kuzi is the master among them.Miao Dao is a rookie in the Central Plains, and Wei Chi has been training hard for several years.

There was a legend that Monan's scimitar could slice through the enemy's shield and cut off several heads in a row.There was a legend that the Miao Dao moves in the Central Plains were so powerful that one could defeat ten thousand.

It was only when the two got so close that they realized that none of this was a legend.

The two fighting each other gradually left the battle circle. At dawn, the battle had lasted for two full hours, and both sides showed signs of exhaustion.Kuiz was even more surprised than Wei Chi, he didn't expect the opponent to have such martial arts skills, and he almost began to regret facing this person alone.In this tug-of-war, he was excited, but he forced himself to be calm.When Wei Chi's Miao Dao brushed against his armor again, according to Miao Dao's fighting method, both the mount and its owner needed to make a dexterous turn.The Central Plains horse was exhausted after such a long battle, and his master had to be distracted by it.

Just need this moment!Kuiz suddenly shortened the distance between the two of them, swung his knife and slashed at Wei Chi's waist.

Wei Chi's mount hadn't completely turned around yet, in order to avoid the opponent's attack, Wei Chi lost his balance and fell to the ground suddenly.Almost instinctively rolled, Wei Chi held the saber in front of his face - this was not a good decision, the Monan saber is thick and heavy, although both are made of fine steel, such a frontal attack is not the current roll The seedling knife with the mouth can bear it.

Wei Chi's right arm shook, and the long knife was split in two in shock!

Almost at the same time, the sound of the cannon sounded in the west!In the direction of Lianzhu Mountain, reinforcements have arrived!

The corner of Wei Chi's mouth raised an arc, and Zuzi looked to the west in horror.

The third wave of reinforcements has arrived!The third wave of reinforcements pushing chariots equipped with cannons has arrived. The [-] Monan cavalry outside the capital, are you still alive at this moment?

When Kuz saw this triumphant smile, his heart beat violently, fifty thousand soldiers!The lives of [-] soldiers were strangled in one night!He jumped off the horse, gripped the knife tightly, and walked towards Wei Chi.

Wei Chi stood up with a smile, and also clenched the knife in his hand.

"you!"

It was only a brief confrontation, and Zuzi's knife stopped at Wei Chi's neck, and Wei Chi's blade pointed at his throat.

It's a pity it's shorter.

Wei Chi didn't close her eyes and wait for that moment like most people did. She looked at Zuzi calmly, and she understood that her mission was accomplished and she deserved to die.

"You," Zuzi didn't make a move immediately, he steadied the blade and walked towards his opponent.

Wei Chi watched him with some doubts as he untied the wine jug on his waist, bit off the cork, and poured the wine on his face.

"Hey!" Wei Chi had a knife around his neck and couldn't avoid it.

Zuzi threw away the jug, and wiped off the blood on the opponent's face as much as possible with his hand: "You are really as handsome as a girl."

Wei Chi, you are a real strong man, protect your capital, please protect your capital.

When the opponent's shadow disappeared into the snow, Wei Chi was still in shock.Obviously the other party didn't know that he knew Monan language, but why did he say such a thing, why didn't he just take his life?

Zuzi drove his mount to a high place, and he could have a panoramic view of the tragedy of the battlefield.The corpses of soldiers from the state of Qi covered the whole plain, and the black smoke of despair rose from Liuqiao Town in the distance.Why do I always bear the passing of my life on my shoulders?As a leader, as a leader, as a Monan, as a person, as a human, what can you do for these living people?

A smoke bomb was fired into the air.

The Monan people have retreated!

Great victory in Liuqiao Town!

This blood-stained sleepless land swallowed tens of thousands of dead souls from other countries. Loud and clear drum music floated from the city walls. The high walls are strangely loud and clear.He didn't know that this was not the performance of the court musicians, but the chorus of all the people in the city who knew how to play instrumental music gathered on the city wall.Yu Mian stood on the city wall and stood side by side with these civilians holding musical instruments. At this moment, facing such a battlefield, tears welled up in his eyes.
