Han Dao world

Wang Chang and the two Huben servants raised their shields to protect Wei Jie, and the others took turns charging forward in groups of three, constantly pushing the front line forward.

This formation seems simple, but the effect is excellent.Two people hold swords and shields in front, and one person holds spears, halberds or bows and arrows behind, each performing their duties.The shield in front blocks, chops with a knife, defuses and blocks the opponent's attack, keeps the companions behind, and the people behind attack with all their strength.

Wei Jie appreciates this tactic very much, but he also knows that his own people cannot learn it.

These people were the elites selected by each battalion, and they were taught martial arts by the great swordsman Wang Yue. All of them were equipped with iron armor.

If you force yourself to learn, you can only imitate Dongshi and learn to walk in Handan.

After repeatedly rushing to the battle without success, the momentum of the infantry battalion was even worse. The knights of the Flying Bear Army who responded to Li Shi were a little frustrated. Many knights turned their horses and left the battlefield.

There is no unified command, and the reinforcement response is a decision made by each individual. At this moment, if they want to leave, no one stops them.

Seeing the situation, Wei Jie ordered a fierce attack again, and asked Wang Chang and others to join the assault team.

Wang Chang also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he left a servant of Huben and asked him to be responsible for Wei Jie's safety. He and another companion rode to the front, shouted angrily, flashed a spear in his hand, and killed a man with a bearded head. The Xianbei knight picked up the horse, and then charged forward again, stabbing the flag soldier down.

Although his martial arts is not as good as Guo Wu and Xu Huang, he is more than enough to deal with ordinary Flying Bear Army knights.

The battle flag fell to the ground, and the knights of the Flying Bear Army panicked even more, and more people withdrew from the battlefield.

The resistance of the infantry battalion decreased rapidly, and Wei Jie ordered to advance.After paying a huge sacrifice, they finally cut off Li Shi's retreat.The soldiers of the infantry battalion did not care about taking a rest, and immediately set up formations with large shields and spears, preparing for the next attack.

On the other side, the Shesheng Battalion also completed a short rest and started a new round of mass shooting. Under the command of Ju Jun, they threw a rain of arrows on the heads of Li Shi and others.

The archers with strong crossbows, led by the captain who was once an archer, rushed to the back of the infantry battalion, and relying on the cover of the infantry's large shield, they sniped and killed the knights of the Flying Bear Army at close range.

Seeing the battle flag of the infantry battalion waving in front of him, and the knights around him fell to the ground one by one, Li Shi's face was ashen.

He couldn't even break through the positions of the northern and southern armies with the weakest combat effectiveness, so why would he have the face to say that he has the ability to lead the Feixiong army?

Even if he could go back alive, he would have no face to face his father Li Jue and mother Hu Shi.

Rather than this, it is more dignified to die in battle.

Li Shi clenched the long knife in his hand and hissed loudly.

But there was no sound, only severe tingling pain.

At some point, his voice became hoarse and he couldn't make a sound.

He turned his head and looked around, looking for the orderly, and issued orders with the orderly's small drum, but found that the orderly had disappeared.The other knights were also covered in blood, their eyes were terrified and anxious, and they couldn't see the aura that an elite should have.

Li Shi's heart beat faster, his legs felt weak, his waist was so sore that it seemed to be broken, and he couldn't sit still on the horse.

He has been bumping on the horse for half a day, and he has been fighting all the time, he is already exhausted, even the sweat is almost running out.

Not to mention the wound on the shoulder was still bleeding.

"My life is over!"

Li Shi's eyes turned black.He saw the guards around him opened their mouths wide, as if they were shouting something, but they couldn't hear a sound.

Under pressure from all sides, there were fewer and fewer Flying Bear Army knights around Li Shi.

Hundreds of paces away, hundreds of Flying Bear Army Knights were watching. Several hundreds of generals had different expressions, hesitated, and kept beating drums to ask for instructions, but got no response.

On the battlefield hundreds of paces away on the south side, the drums were beating loudly, and the fierce battle was in full swing.

-

Yang Ding hurriedly boarded the general's platform, set up a pergola with his hands, and looked into the distance.

The sound of war drums and shouts of killing could be heard faintly in the distance, and the smoke and dust were shrouded, but the situation could not be seen clearly.

"Yang Jun, what should I do?" Yang Ding asked.

Yang Xiu patted the railing and said calmly, "The general has two choices."

"Please Yang Jun for advice."

"One, stick to the big camp. The food that the emperor promised you has been delivered. As long as the general sticks to the big camp, he will live up to the emperor."

Yang Ding's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

This is obviously not Yang Xiu's sincere words.

He knows exactly how the strengths of the two sides compare.

In order to deliver food to him, the emperor sent the North and South Army to face the Flying Bear Army led by Li Shi. The risk was beyond imagination.

When he first heard the news, Yang Ding couldn't believe it at all. He didn't believe what he heard until the scouts sent back the news that Li Shi was leading the Feixiong Army to attack Sun Rui's position. Not rumors.

"Second, the general can lead his troops out of the camp. He can attack Li Shi and Hu Feng, or support the emperor. The general must also know that only Guo Si and Anji general Dong Cheng are not participating in the battle at this moment, and their strength is very different. Once Guo Si joins the battle, the emperor will be surrounded. If the general can restrain Guo Si and prevent him from acting rashly, it will be a great achievement."

Yang Ding stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully.

What Yang Xiu said was the truth, the most dangerous person now is Guo Si, as long as he can put on an offensive posture and restrain Guo Si, he will be helping the emperor.

But he didn't say it.

"If you are Yang Jun, what should you do if you are elected?"

"I'm different from the general." Yang Xiu smiled. "I am a close minister of the emperor after the Hongnong Yang family. It is my duty to eat the emperor's salary and share the worries for the emperor. Together with Guo Shilang, I will lead a thousand people from General Ningji's troops to attack, and live and die with the emperor. .”

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed to Yang Ding. "Leave it alone."

Yang Ding didn't say a word, watching Yang Xiu get off the general platform and out of the Chinese army camp.

In the other camp, the thousands of people sent by Duan Yan to deliver food had already lined up, and the servant Guo Wu stood in front of the team, holding a horse in one hand and a spear in the other.

Yang Xiu arrived, got on his horse, turned around and waved goodbye to Yang Ding.

Guo Wu also got on the horse, raised the spear in his hand, and bowed to Yang Ding.

The gate of the camp opened, and Guo Wu and Yang Xiu walked out of the camp side by side.

A thousand steps followed closely behind, and went straight to the battlefield without looking back.

The battalions sent messages of great fanfare, asking how to deal with the unauthorized departure of the thousand-step rider.

Prior to this, they had not received orders from the Chinese army.

Yang Ding sighed and ordered someone to pass the order, let them leave without stopping.He sat on the platform for a long time, watching the figures of Yang Xiu, Guo Wu and others disappear into the smoke and dust on the battlefield, watching the carts of food being delivered to the camp, without saying a word for a long time.

Chapter 85 Remaining life after catastrophe

Guo Si was sitting in front of the case, facing the rich food and drink, but he had no appetite at all.

Xie Guang was watching the battle in front of the battle, and kept sending the latest battle situation to the Chinese army. Guo Bang's mood was also ups and downs, and he couldn't live in peace.

Under the panic, there is a faint worry.

If the previous attack was repelled by Dong Cheng, it might have been an accident. Today, Li Shi's attack on Sun Rui's position failed, but Guo Si had to re-understand the court and its strength.

One is an accident, two are less likely to be accidents.

According to Xie Guang, there is also fighting on the south side of the battlefield. As for who is attacking Hu Feng, it is still unclear at the moment.

With the Flying Bear Army's position separated in the middle, the rangers had to circle a large circle to reach the battlefield, and they might be intercepted by the Flying Bear Army's rangers on the way.Even if there is news, it will be half a day later.

But Guo Si guessed that there were only two people who would fight Hu Feng: either Yang Feng or Yang Ding.

It is more likely that Yang Feng is closer, after all.

If it is true, Yang Fengneng and Hu Feng have been fighting fiercely for so long, which means that his strength has also increased.

That's even less likely to be an accident.

So, what method did the imperial court use to turn several underdogs into elites in a short period of time?

Is it the Son of Heaven, or Jia Xu?

"General, Ding Chong brought it here." There was a report from the personal guards.

Guo Bang withdrew his thoughts, nodded, and motioned for his personal guard to lead Ding to rush in. At the same time, he straightened his body and squeezed out a gentle smile.

Footsteps sounded, and Ding Chong walked in slowly.

His face was washed clean, his crown was still in order, but his body was still dirty, and he could smell a sour smell from a distance.

"Ding Jun, please sit down." Guo Si got up and greeted him with a pleasant smile.

Ding Chong glanced at him, ignored his complaints, sat down on the table in a leisurely manner, picked up his wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

Guo Bang straightened up in embarrassment, and drank: "What are you doing in a daze, and you still haven't given Ding Jun more wine."

The young maid beside him trembled in fright, and hurriedly walked forward to refill Ding Chong's wine.

Ding Chong glanced at the maid, frowning slightly. "Where are you from?"

"Back to Mr. Ding, my concubine is from Luoyang." The maid said timidly, filling up the wine for Ding Chong.

"Which family in Luoyang?"

"Luoyang Meng family, a small family."

"Luoyang Meng family." Ding Chong pondered for a moment. "Do you know Meng Yu and Meng Junlie?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, her eyes shining with hope. "That... that's my concubine's grandpa."

Ding Chong nodded, turned around and said to Guo Si: "General, give this woman to me."

Guo Bang grinned. "Okay, if Ding Jun wants it, I can give it to Ding Jun. Anyway, there are still many in my camp." He glanced at the maid. "From now on, you are Ding Jun's man, why don't you thank Ding Jun?"

The maid wept with joy, knelt down in front of Ding Chong and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ding Chong just waved his hand, signaling the maid to get up, without saying a word.

"The general invited me here. It's wine and meat, and now it's a woman. Do you need my help?"

Guo Bang pretended to be bold and laughed. "No, no, it's just that I have been rude in the past two days. I have wronged Ding Jun and I just want to apologize. Ding Jun doesn't need to care, don't care."

The corners of Ding Chong's mouth twitched. "Really not?"

"Really..." Guo Si rolled his eyes. "... To say, there is really a small matter, I want to ask Ding Jun for help."

"You said."

"I want to meet Mr. Jia." Guo Si peeked into Ding Chong's eyes, saw Ding Chong's disdain, and then said: "Of course, if Ding Jun is in trouble, you can help me bring a letter to Mr. Jia, that's fine too." .”

"Okay, you prepare as soon as possible, I will leave after two bites."

"It's okay, it's okay, Ding Jun enjoys it slowly, these are the best mutton, the best ale, specially prepared for Ding Jun, Ding Jun uses it slowly, I am not in a hurry."

"Okay, thank you General for your kindness." Ding Chong drank another glass of wine, cut off a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.

Seeing the opportunity to leave Guo Si's camp, the maid, Meng Shi, was extraordinarily hospitable and poured wine for Ding Chong's cut meat.

Guo Bang watched Ding Chong eat and drink with a smile, and when Ding Chong was almost done eating, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Meng.Meng Shi took it and handed it to Ding Chong with both hands.

Ding Chong took it without looking at it, and casually threw it on the table, sucking the grease from his fingers.

"General, with all due respect, even if you meet Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia won't say anything else." Ding Chong raised his head and looked at Guo Bang. "The Son of Heaven wants to build peace in the world, so stabilizing Liangzhou is a must. The scholars of Liangzhou are willing to work together with the court, and the court cannot ask for it. But the court will not support useless people, let alone allow thieves and officials to use force to violate the ban and cause chaos. .”

Guo Bang's smile was a little awkward, and there was a little anxiety in his eyes.

"So, Li Jue must die." Ding Chong raised his glass again. "Whether the general dies or not depends on no one else but the general himself."

Guo Si stared at Ding Chong for a while. "Tell me, Mr. Ding, how can I not die?"

"Why do you need to ask questions knowingly?" Ding Chong laughed, drank the wine in his glass, picked up the letter on the table, stood up, and pointed to the remaining half of the pot of meat on the table. "Take it, my wife and children have suffered for so long, it's time for me to taste meat."

After speaking, he shook his sleeves and walked away.

Mrs. Meng looked at Guo Bang uneasily, Guo Bang raised his eyebrows, and waved for her to leave quickly.

Mrs. Meng hastily hugged the meat basin, rushed out of the big tent, and trotted all the way to catch up with Ding Chong. While saluting, she said, "Thank you Ding Jun for saving your life, thank you Ding Jun for saving your life." Tears could not stop falling down, dripping on the meat.

Ding Chong looked at Meng Shi, without saying a word, but slowed down his pace so that Meng Shi could keep up.

Meng shi hugged the meat basin tightly, following every step.

A personal guard of Guo Si chased after him and escorted Ding Chong out of the camp.

Along the way, countless ragged women looked at the tearful Meng Shi and the meat pot in Meng Shi's arms, showing envious eyes.Someone mustered up his courage, rushed out, knelt in front of Ding Chong, and was kicked down by the guard before he could speak.

Ding Chong didn't look back, and left the camp all the way.

The attendants who came with him were also released, leading the horses and waiting outside the camp.

Ding rushed onto his horse and headed straight for Dong Cheng's camp.

After entering Dong Cheng's camp, he met Xu Huang who was fully armed. Hearing that the emperor was commanding the battle in front of the formation, Ding Chong rushed to the battlefield again.Under the plateau, he ordered his attendants to take the Meng family to the plateau, and hand them over to his wife, while he himself rushed to Liu Xie to report the situation.

Running all the way, Ding Chong was covered in sweat, and his face that had been washed was covered with loess again, looking extremely embarrassed.
