Ascension

Chapter 31

Qinling is the fastest way from Hedu City to the nearby towns. There are towering mountains on both sides. Only the official road in the middle is in disrepair. It is muddy when it rains. Because it is a straight road, the draft is very strong. Sometimes people can freeze to death, and traveling merchants would rather take a detour than go here.

It had just rained heavily at night, and Dou Shastorm looked down from above. The accumulated water in the earth pit on the official road had frozen, and the horses must have struggled to walk.

Wagu's army has been relying on looted food supplies, but Hedu City has been attacked by Xilu people once, and the city is better. The villages and towns outside the city are almost looted. If Wagu wants food, he must come from a little further away. The towns are plundered, and the people of Xilu are confident in their horsepower, and they will definitely leave from Qinling.

"The logs are ready?"

"It's all ready, General."

Dou Shabao rubbed his hands, his young and dark face was tense: "Have all the scouts been sent out?"

"Five dials, groups of three have already been dispatched."

War is difficult to say, but it is easy to say. Dou Shabao followed the general for so many years, listened to the five carts in a daze, and summed it up in three words: surprise, preparedness, and training troops.

The log was taken by surprise, and the scouts were well prepared. The last bit of food was collected for training, and there were only 3000 people under his command. They had eaten all the food before it arrived, so there was nothing to prepare for.

Dou Shastorm turned around three times in the same place, as if there was a bunch of things in his mind that he wanted to pour out, but he couldn't get it out no matter what he did.

A man with a beard behind him suddenly said: "General, do you want to make a mobilization?"

"That's right!" Dou Shabao slapped his head, and then realized that his movements were too big. He put his hands down, looked gratefully at the guy who looked like a soldier, and said, "Thank you for reminding me. Forgot. What's your name?"

That man has a hulking back, looks like the bandit leader in the storybook, with an ax on his waist, apart from the flattering expression on his face, standing there is also a very mighty and reckless hero: "My name is Su Caibao."

Dou Shabao nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, I will remember. Don't talk to you, please, I have goosebumps all over my body when I hear it."

Su Caibao didn't expect that the general from the capital was not only full of idioms, but also so kind to the soldiers under his opponent. Looking at Dou Shabao, the meaning in his eyes immediately changed.

How could Dou Shabao notice the look in his eyes, he was all focused on that bullshit mobilization.The general had mobilized before, and his blood boiled when he heard it. He wished that the orderer would quit and rush up to chop off a few heads. It was his turn to get stuck.

He slumped the muddy ground under his feet for a while, and didn't make up his mind. He slapped his thigh for the last time, and he didn't care about 21. He simply said whatever was on his mind, and said in a loud voice: "Listen, brothers, Xilu bitch Those who dare to kill and rob women on our territory, we will chop off their heads and play as balls today, and whoever dares to spare no effort will be damned sorry to the Hedu elders who brought us clothes and food!"

These words without the slightest fancy are speaking into the hearts of the soldiers.The so-called mobilization is nothing more than sprinkling some sparks on dry wood, no matter what kind of fire, as long as it can ignite morale.

"Kick your head and kick it! Kick your head and kick it!"

Swords were lifted up one after another, and pairs of red eyes shone under the dark clouds with a stern cold light.

The Xilu people have never regarded the people of this dynasty as human beings, and they are used to looting every year. Although the purpose of this expedition is to occupy the fertile land, the animal nature is unruly, and the places where they pass are full of devastation.

However, Hedu City was built on the mountain, and the land was barren. Because it was close to the border, many soldiers who had been disarmed and returned to the fields settled here in recent years, and gradually developed the appearance of the city. Most of the residents in the city were hunters and drug dealers. Two silver is a great big family.Even so, the common people also donated money and food one after another, and handed over the little savings they hid to this group of famous mobs, just to let them kill a few more Xilu people to avenge their tragic death relatives.

There were even women who came to join the army in men's clothing, but refused to listen to any persuasion, and wanted to die with the people of Xilu.

Dou Shabao also raised his big knife amidst the shouts of the soldiers, thinking of his unmarried daughter-in-law Hongxiu, his heart was not soft, but his blood was boiling.

He will never forget that when he rescued her, the bruised woman didn't cry like an ordinary woman to die, but limped to every Xilu person who was cut down, and chopped off their heads one by one.

Only later did she tell him that she was afraid that she would not be able to be saved if she was tortured too severely, and that she had to avenge herself with her own hands before she died.

He promised her that he would use the heads of [-] Xilu people as a dowry gift to marry her.

"Now, the whole army is silent. I don't care what the reason is, as long as anyone dares to make a sound, I will kill it immediately!"

Dou Shabao had just finished his training, and he was not too dirty. He sat down on the still wet mud, and saw a scout climbing up the mountain wall like a monkey: "General, 5000 people in Wagu were killed by hammers." The mountain bandits stopped him."

"What!" Dou Sha was shocked.There are only more than 400 bandits in Langtou Mountain, and they dare to block the way of five thousand Xilu Jingqi, which is too courageous.

His first thought was not to support the Langtou Mountain bandits, but to worry that the Xilu people would change their marching route after being intercepted.

"A fight?"

"No." The scout said doubtfully, "The head of Langtou Mountain didn't show up, so he sent several carts of fresh meat to the people of Xilu."

These days, if you want to give away, you will also give coarse grain pancakes, and there is no way to give fresh meat.Even if the person who sent it had the financial resources, the Xilu people did not develop and preserve salt.What's even more strange is that Langtoushan can hardly open the pot by himself, so where did the meat come from?

"Grandma's! Then you say his mother stopped it!" Dou Shabao slapped his thigh angrily.

The scout shrank his head and said, "It was stopped."

"People in Xilu have meat, do they still plan to grab food?"

Dou Shabao couldn't figure out what the leader of Langtou Mountain was up to, and he didn't have time to bother him. Anyway, as long as people from Xilu passed under his feet, he would tell them to come and go.

"They only sent a small team to send the meat back, and the rest continued to drive here."

Dou Shabao heaved a sigh of relief, and slapped the scout's helmet with a slap: "Give me a heads-up when you talk in the future!"

The scout touched his helmet and stepped back in a daze.

The most elite scouts under Su Yan, the former Jianghuai general, were a group of horse bandits from Zhao'an, but after Su Yan's death, they disappeared. Well, the newly trained batch of cubs are not led by veterans, and they don't have that monkey spirit.

Dou Shabao calculated the distance of the Xilu people, thought for a while, and called Su Caibao to him, saying, "Think about it for me, what else can't be done well."

Su Caibao was overwhelmed by the flattery, and waved his hands again and again: "This is not successful, this is not successful! The young one is a soldier, you are too flattering the young one."

Dou Shabao grabbed his hand, forcibly opened his palm, pointed at the callus on it, and said viciously: "Give me back the pretense! This claw, can it dye the palm prints red without killing 80 people? I have never led a soldier, but I have seen too many generals, you boy can't escape my eyes."

Su Caibao did not expect that Dou Shabao, who seemed careless, could discover something special about him.But since he took the initiative to speak out, he also had the intention to stand out, and tentatively said: "The general is wise. Let's not hide the truth from the general, the little one used to fool around with General Su Yansu..."

"Tell me what you can do first!" Dou Shabao interrupted him, "The people from Xilu will be here soon, and they are still chattering."

"You arrange the people tighter. The official road is so wide. The people in Xilu probably have four or five horses in a row. The cavalry at the head and tail run fast. We mainly hit the middle section. There are firecrackers tied to the rolling logs, and the horses in the middle are frightened." Go crazy, no matter how far apart the knights are, they will collide."

Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Dou Shabao immediately recruited messengers to arrange it, without the usual stubbornness of generals.

Su Caibao was listening, and found that he was just coming up with an idea, and Dou Shabao was orderly when he actually arranged it.Because the formation was tightened in an all-round way, which team was in charge of which area, and which team rushed down first had to be adjusted accordingly. His tone was firm and his skills were sophisticated, which was quite different from his bewildered look before.

He thought that Dou Shabao had planned it long ago, and the boss said embarrassedly: "General, you, you, don't mind."

"No, your idea is very good." Seeing his eyes, Dou Shabao suddenly realized, "You said that I am platooning troops. The general taught me. After I have taught it, when the general can't take care of it, I will hand over these trivial tasks to you. I arrange."

The general he was talking about was naturally the former Huainan General Wen Liang.

Su Caibao was in a daze when he heard that, the deployment of troops was all trivial work, so what else was the most important thing.The Huainan Army really lived up to its reputation, and even the filthy messengers were hidden.

The first time Dou Shabao led an independent army, he brought [-] elite soldiers to ambush [-] Xilu elite cavalry, no amount of thought was enough.If this job fell into his hands, what face would he have to face the general and his current colleagues.

"General, here we come!"

With the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the mighty khaki cavalry could already be seen at the end of the official road.They were all riding tall horses, wearing leather hats, the scimitars around their waists and the bucklers on their horses were polished, talking and laughing in twos and threes on horseback.

The most eye-catching one is a middle-aged man in a black cloak, with squinted eyes, splayed eyebrows, protruding cheekbones, two mustaches on his chin, and sly eyebrows, and a little lady with a red fruit in his arms. Immediately uneasy, taking advantage of beauties everywhere.

Holding the handle of the knife in his hand, Dou Shabao held his breath, watching the people from Xilu pass by.

"That's not from Xilu." Su Caibao said softly, "He doesn't speak Xilu language."

Dou Shabao gritted his teeth and remained silent—not from Xilu, but naturally a traitor of the dynasty.

Xilu's vanguard quickly walked past Dou Shastorm's sight.The Jianghuai army was quiet, and Huang Buding's hard training for more than half a year was not in vain.Dou Shabao forcibly suppressed his impatience, and waited until the large army of Xilu people had passed more than half in front of his eyes, then suddenly jumped up, raised his hand and shouted: "Put the log!"

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen huge rolling logs rolled down the hillside with a thunderous momentum, and smashed hard on the unsuspecting Xilu cavalry.More than a hundred people were smashed to pieces on the spot.

This was not over yet, a shallow pit was dug out from the heart of several rolling logs, and the firecracker was shallowly buried. When it landed, the soil that fixed the firecracker was shaken off, and the burning firecracker fell into the horses.

No matter how good Xilu's horse was, it couldn't help being so frightened. There was a crackling sound in his ears, and the horse's hooves let go and ran away.The official road was already blocked by rolling logs, and the rampage of thousands of war horses was even more terrible. The knights on the horses fell off their horses one by one, and were trampled to death by their beloved horses.

"Woo-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Before the knights at the western foot could react to appease the horses, Dou Shabao led three thousand Jianghuai troops to rush down from the hillside!Men in blue military uniforms rushed towards the Xilu people trapped in the low-lying area like a tide.

"kill!"

Holding standard long knives in their hands, the Jianghuai army rushed towards the dazed Xilu cavalry in the posture of a hungry mad wolf grabbing meat.

The Jianghuai army is an army without battle songs and slogans, or their predecessors are the bandits led by Su Yan. Thousands of words, nothing can compare to the word "kill" to arouse their blood.

Those who violate our country, kill!

Those who bully my compatriots, kill!

Those who insult my relatives and friends, kill!

As long as they dare to work hard, no enemy can stop their footsteps.At this time, the Huainan army is a group of desperate lunatics, the dignity and pride that have been suppressed for a long time are reawakened in the cry of killing.

Among the Xilu people, only a few were able to fight under such circumstances. Most of them were either trampled to death by the horses or clinging to the horse's neck so that they could not swing their swords.In this case, falling from the horse is the end of being trampled into a pulp. On the horseback, the enemy dare not confront the mad horse head-on, but can live a little longer.

But as soon as the horse's speed slowed down, the Jianghuai army's knives were like chopping pork on the Xilu people, splitting the flesh and bones, and the internal organs of the people and the horse were mixed together and steamed on the ground.

Su Caibao split a Xilu officer in half with an axe, howled to the sky, removed one arm of the Xilu man with his backhand, and grabbed his neck with the other hand, lifted him into the air, turned around and threw him at a A general of Xilu with excellent riding skills.Hearing the shout from behind, the general subconsciously swung his knife to chop off the man from Xilu, when he was stunned, a big knife chopped off his head.

Dou Shabao took the general's hair and tied it casually on the hemp rope that had been prepared earlier and hung it with small hooks. There were already a dozen hideous heads of Xilu people hanging on it.He wasn't afraid of falling, so he dragged a bunch of heads and slashed and killed them on the battlefield.The simple and honest face is covered with the blood of the enemy, it is a killing god!

"Good guy!" Dou Shabao gave Su Caibao a thumbs up.

Su Caibao's eyes were red, but not from excitement or anger, but from crying.

Boss Su Yan, the Jianghuai army is not abolished!

The author has something to say: Su Caibao - Vegetable Bun

Who asked his officer to call it a bean paste bun? He can only treat it as a vegetable bun. Wouldn't it be more expensive to call it a meat bun than his officer?
