Chapter 571: Premonition of a bad night attack

Views:

At this time, Zhang Qianma suddenly remembered the reply he had received from Jianzhou. In his heart, whether it was Gao An or Tong Wenbo, they were confident in Wang Xiong. Now it seems that he is clumsy, and he hasn't seen the true abilities of this Wang Xiong clearly.

"Ah!" "Ah!" Just as Zhang Qianma was thinking about it, two more screams sounded from the battlefield outside the city. Needless to say, the two generals Peng Youjun died in Wang Xiong's hands.

The leader of Peng Youjun is now more surprised as he fights, and the more he fights, the more chilling he gets. He had only heard of Wang Xiong's reputation before, but he didn't expect that Wang Xiong's ability was even more terrifying than the rumors he had heard before. The previous seven warriors barely managed to suppress Wang Xiong, and now two people have died. It is impossible to stop Wang Xiong's offensive by relying on the few remaining of them.

The eyeballs of the commander of Peng Youjun turned, and the big knife in his hand fell directly towards Wang Xiong, and Wang Xiong, who was dealing with the other people, was still doing the same with others. He flipped his hand and swung his spear, and immediately took Peng Youjun. The commander's knife was blocked.

At the same time, the entire body of the leader of Peng Youjun flew upside down. When gliding in the air, the leader of Peng Youjun couldn't help it anyway. He opened his mouth and sprayed, and the blood was sprayed like a bloody storm. Get out.

The commander of Peng Youjun was shot by Wang Xiong and fell directly in front of his cavalry formation. The commander of Peng Youjun reluctantly stood up and limped back towards his army.

But before the leader of Peng Youjun walked back to the army, a scream sounded behind him, but the soldiers who were left by the command of Peng Youjun were solved one by one by Wang Xiong.

Wang Xiong slammed the blood stains on the spear, and shouted with disdain, "What is the strength of you cavalry now? Huh! Waste is waste. It is hard to say that no matter how many people are called, you will not be able to change the fact that you are waste. ."

After that, Wang Xiong slobbed at the cavalry in front of him, his face full of disdain.

The leader of Peng Youjun stumbled and ran back into the army. Before he could speak, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he rolled his eyes and fainted. Although he escaped from Wang Xiong's hands by skill, he paid a lot of money. I am afraid that the injuries on his body are less than ten days and half a month, so don't think about it.

However, at this time, Pendi finally got over his head, looking at the tall figure like a god of war ahead, an inexplicable fear came out of Pendi's heart. Even if Wang Xiong is only one person now, and there are nearly 60,000 cavalry behind him, there is still an invincible feeling in Pendi's heart. Subconsciously, Pendi, who felt his army's morale was extremely low, knew that it was not time for his army to attack at this time. Therefore, he shouted to the left and right: "Withdraw and withdraw."

Not only Pendi, but all the soldiers of the cavalry army are full of fear. Although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they can't stand up to fighting against Wang Xiong. At the moment when Pendi's order to retreat was issued, all the soldiers turned their horses around and retreated in a hurry.

"Hahahaha!" Looking at the cavalry who fled in a hurry, Wang Xiong laughed up to the sky, his spear was raised high, and the soldiers of the Gao family behind Wang Xiong shouted in excitement.

"What's going on here?" On the head of Shao Wu's army, Zhang Qianma watched all this happen in disbelief. He was stunned, pointing to the outside of the city, turning his head and saying to Shen Zhu next to him: "This is this. Did you win like this? How could it be possible? He alone could knock the opponent's 60,000 cavalry back?"

Speaking of the end, Zhang Qianma is simply incredible. This battle is really too different from common sense. Zhang Qianma simply feels that everything he has learned before has been subverted.

Although Shen Zhu is better than Zhang Qianma, it is only slightly better. With a wry smile, he nodded and said, "This is the role of a super strong military commander. This kind of deterrence is more effective than any conspiracy. I’ve only heard of it before, but now it’s the first time I have seen it. It’s no wonder that Zhao Yan, who has so many super-class generals, can be so powerful.” Shen Zhu couldn’t help but sigh. Just being a Wang Xiong is so terrifying. According to the rumors, What about Zhao Yan's many martial arts masters

However, Zhang Qianma and Shen Zhu are not ordinary people after all. After a brief surprise, the two quickly recovered their calm. Zhang Qianma lowered his head to analyze and said, "I'm afraid this battle is not over. Peng Di is only withdrawing troops temporarily. I believe that when Peng Di calms his army, he will come back again. At that time, we will not be able to rely on it. General Wang won so easily."

Before he knew it, Zhang Qianma began to respect Wang Xiong's name. Obviously, the strength that Wang Xiong showed was also slowly conquering Zhang Qianma, at least Zhang Qianma no longer thought that Wang Xiong was just a brash man.

Shen Zhu also nodded in agreement with Zhang Qianma's analysis. Frowning his brows tightly, he said to Zhang Qianma: "But in the current situation, I am afraid that Jianzhou can't give us much assistance. Don't forget, there is another Liutong in the northeast. Peng You I have all shot, I don't believe Liu Tong can bear it. I don't know what's going on with General Xia."

The General Xia mentioned by Shen Zhu was naturally Xia Cheng stationed in Guixi. Since the increasingly powerful Peng You defeated Xia Chengjun and occupied Fuzhou. In order to achieve the strategic goal of occupying Liangzhe East Road, Xia Cheng led the army to march east and gave up Guixi and other places to Gao'an.

However, Xia Cheng gave this hot potato to Gao'an, but Guixi and other places had to deal with the offenses of other princes. At this moment, Gao An not only sent Wang Xiong to garrison the Shao Wu army, but also Xia Cheng to Guixi garrison, and Gao An also sent another army to garrison Luminous. Now Gao An can be said to be able to mobilize everything under his hand, and on Shao Wujun's side, Gao An is no longer able to take care of it.

Seeing Wang Xiong from outside the city swaying back to the city, Zhang Qianma said with a wry smile: "Forget it, the soldiers will cover the water. We only have to take one step. Let's go. General Wang Xiong hit one this time. If we win the battle, how can we celebrate him too!"

With that, Zhang Qianma turned and walked down the city, while Shen Zhu also smiled and shook his head, amidst the cheers of the surrounding soldiers, followed Zhang Qianma down the city.

Zhang Qianma's analysis is indeed correct. At this moment, far north of Fujian Road, outside Guixi City, a big battle has just ended. Seeing the soldiers of Liu Jiajun retreating outside the city, Xia Cheng also let out a long sigh of relief on the head of the city, and the whole person also relaxed a lot. It's just that Xia Cheng needs to boost his morale, even if he doesn't have enough physical strength, he still has to stand up straight.

"General Xia Cheng, the enemy has retreated. Then what should we do next?" Xia Cheng can be so hard-spirited, but others can't do it. Behind Xia Cheng, a civil servant named Liu Xi gasped. With a roughness, he asked Xia Cheng.

Although the literati named Liu Xi was just a literati, he had also learned a few swordsmanship, and he had just killed the enemy with the defenders. However, after this battle, his physical strength was overwhelming. If it weren't for the support of soldiers by his side, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Xia Cheng's eyes narrowed, his face showed arrogance, and he said coldly: "The enemy army just arrived today, and they launched an attack on Guixi. After this battle, the enemy soldiers must be exhausted. Master Liu, I think. I’m out of the city raiding camp tonight. What do you think?” Although Xia Cheng’s tone seemed to be asking Liu Xi’s opinion, listening to Xia Cheng’s tone, he had already made up his mind to do so.

Unlike Zhang Qianma, Liu Xi has followed the Gao An brothers for more than a year. He has long known Xia Cheng's personality. Even if he did not agree, Xia Cheng would insist on doing it.

However, Liu Xi turned his head and thought for a while, and felt that what Xia Cheng said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "General Xia Cheng is wise. I think this plan is feasible. I just don't know how many soldiers and horses the general will bring?"

Hearing Liu Xi’s question, Xia Cheng also raised his head and thought for a moment. This time Liu Jiajun brought more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and Xia Cheng only had less than 10,000 people. World War I, but the two sides in today's war were just a test, and did not lose too many soldiers.

Immediately Xia Cheng replied: "Five thousand people are enough. Mr. Liu can wait in the city. If the attack is successful, Mr. Liu will not move. If there is any accident, he will rely on Mr. Liu for rescue."

Although Xia Cheng had a high self-esteem, he was also very cautious and even arranged a way out. Hearing what he said, Liu Xi would disagree and immediately said, "It's so best. Then I will go down and make arrangements for the general." After that, Liu Xi motioned to the soldier beside him to help him down the city. .

At this moment, a young soldier came from the side, carrying a big knife, ran to Xia Cheng, and shouted at Xia Cheng: "Father. The count has just been completed. In this battle, the soldiers suffered less than 100 casualties, but in the city. His arrows, stones, and other materials have been consumed a lot, so I need to save money."

This young general was Xia Cheng's eldest son, Xia Wu. Xia Cheng, who had a stubborn temper, killed the landlord who was lending usury, and left his wife and children in his hometown. Until Xia Cheng met Gao An and Wang Xiong, they united and rebelled and defeated the officers and soldiers.

Later, under the influence of the king of the letter, Zhao Zhen, who was a shit-stirring stick, Zhao Gou, whose power was gradually divided by the princes, reluctantly awarded the anti-thief rebels as high-ranking officials. Therefore, Gao An has gained fame and fame. Gao An became the leader of a bandit army and became a Da Song official. He also dealt with the murder case in his hometown and took Xia Cheng's wife and children by the way.

However, Xia Cheng's wife was obviously not blessed to enjoy this wealth, and she died of illness after not staying with Xia Cheng for a few months. It was his son Xia Wu who followed Xia Cheng for more than a year and was taught by Xia Cheng to become a talent. Now he is a young tiger general under Gao An's account. This time Xia Cheng was ordered to garrison Guixi, and Xia Wu naturally followed around. In that battle, Xia Wu also fought bravely to kill the enemy and made a lot of credit.

After listening to Xia Wu’s report, Xia Cheng nodded and said, “Yeah. Got it. Wu'er. You also go to prepare and go to the camp tonight with your father.” As he said, Xia Cheng's pair was squinted. Suddenly opened his copper bell's big eyes, and a cold light flashed.

As the son of Xia Cheng, Xia Wu certainly knew Xia Cheng better than anyone else. Xia Wu clasped his fists and shouted: "Yes." Although he is Xia Cheng's son, in the army, Xia Wu still strictly abides by the military regulations, and has never asked for any special care in his own capacity, and this is precisely Xia Cheng. The most happy.

It is said that it is necessary to prepare, but in fact it is nothing, just select some soldiers with better spirits, let them rest early and replenish their energy. When it was almost the time for the son, Xia Cheng and Xia Wu and his son gathered the five thousand elite soldiers selected in advance, and first let the soldiers eat and drink.

After everything was prepared, Xia Cheng waved his big hand and the city gate slowly opened. Xia Cheng and his son quietly walked out of the city gate with soldiers and horses and headed towards the camp of Liu Jiajun outside the city.

Liu Jiajun’s barracks were about ten miles away from Guixi City, and Xia Cheng’s army traveled from Guixi City to a position only one mile away from Liu Jiajun, and it took less than half an hour in total.

Looking at the Liu Jiajun barracks ahead, Xia Cheng frowned and whispered to Xia Wu next to him: "Wu'er, something is wrong in front. You will stay here with two thousand people. I will try the situation, you Ready to respond at any time."

Hearing Xia Cheng's words, Xia Wu's face was startled, and he asked hurriedly, "Father, what's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Xia Cheng shook his head, looked at the target in front, his eyes narrowed, and said, "I can't tell, it's just a feeling. The Liu Family Army barracks are too loosely guarded, and it doesn't seem right. Anyway, be careful. wrong."

Although Xia Cheng's words were unclear, Xia Wu did not relax at all, because he knew that a veteran like Xia Cheng who had been fighting for many years would have an inexplicable premonition. When marching and fighting, this premonition sometimes determines the outcome of the battle. Immediately Xia Wu became anxious and said hurriedly: "Father. Since it is in danger, it is better for us to withdraw first."

Out of concern for Xia Cheng, Xia Wu discouraged Xia Cheng from retreating, but Xia Cheng gave him a stern look. If it weren't for the current situation, he couldn't be too loud, I'm afraid Xia Cheng would have screamed loudly.

After Xia Cheng glared at Xia Wu, he shouted in a low voice: "Naughty. How can a marching war be so trivial? This opportunity is rare. If we miss this opportunity, with our strength, we want to block Liu Jiajun’s attack, I'm afraid it is. It's very difficult. Okay! Hugh, you have to talk more, don't worry, even if there is a real problem, no one can stop the father who wants to leave."

Xia Cheng's attitude was so determined that Xia Wu still wanted to persuade him a few words, but he could only hold back the words, and said to Xia Cheng: "So, please be careful of my father."

Xia Cheng waved his hand, and directly ordered three thousand soldiers and horses and began to sneak in the direction of the barracks, while Xia Wu took the remaining two thousand men and stayed in place, ready to meet Xia Cheng at any time. Xia Cheng brought his soldiers and horses closer for a while, seeing the Liu Jiajun barracks close in front of him, and seeing the barracks ahead, the ominous feeling in Xia Cheng's heart became more and more obvious.

I wanted to go back, but how could Xia Cheng lose that face? After gritting his teeth, Xia Cheng swiped the long-handled Mo knife in his hand, pointed directly at the Liu Jiajun barracks ahead, and led the soldiers and horses to attack.

"Kill." There were bursts of shouts of killing, and under the leadership of Xia Cheng, three thousand Gaojia army generals aggressively rushed towards the Liu Jiajun barracks.
