Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 704: Accident

The black mask and black armor formed a sharp contrast with the snow-like forest of knives.

The Qiang Hu Cavalry Army, which had never seen such a unit, hit it, and it melted like fat in a hot pan.

In just a short while, hundreds of cavalry, including men and horses, turned into large pieces of minced meat.

Seeing this scene, the Qianghu rebels, who were still thinking about organizing a charge, were shocked. Some of the soldiers in the front were timid and retreated involuntarily.

The leader of the Qianghu slashed at the Hu soldiers who dared to retreat by themselves despite their orders, and shouted: "Those who dare to retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

"The Han army on the opposite side is only half of ours. Behind us, there are reinforcements many times larger than theirs. What are you afraid of, charge! Charge forward!"

"As long as you rush up, you can consume them all!"

The failure of the first charge did not make Qiang Hu back down.

Even though the Modao team made Qianghu feel fear, sometimes, driven by fear, it would make people burst into greater impulses.

It's just that the impulse at this time made the formation even more chaotic.

Huo Yi felt that the palm of his hand holding Mo Dao was a little wet, but fortunately the pattern on the handle prevented his hand from slipping.

He gasped for breath, only to feel that his mouth and nose were full of fishy smell.

Although he was called Captain Huqiang, in fact, since he came to Longyou, he started as an ordinary soldier.

He must go through everything that the soldiers under the captain of Hu Qiang have to go through.

From the most basic formation, training, to night attack, emergency formation, etc., there is no special treatment.

I heard that everyone under Feng Junhou's command must do so.

For the first time in the battle, he took the title of a trainee captain and followed the team leader captain.

At this moment, he felt the unanimous movements of everyone around him, and felt that the previous training was really worthwhile.

His usual colleagues stood beside him. Although no one spoke casually, it also gave him courage when he was on the battlefield for the first time, so that he didn't feel the slightest sense of fear.

"They're here again!"

The captain specially sent by Zhang Yi reminded in a low voice, "Get ready."

Huo Yi's spirit was shocked, and he quickly followed the captain, his eyes were fixed on the front, and his mind was not distracted.

Undoubtedly, Qiang Hu's charge this time retreated faster than the previous one.

On the north side of the battlefield, the cavalry led by Liu Hun finally arrived.

Compared with the agreed time, it was half a day later.

The reason is to wipe out the rebel Qiang scattered around Didao in advance.

With Liu Hun's wings beside him, Ju Fu was finally able to let go of his hands and feet.

As soon as they moved forward, the unstoppable Han army forced the Hu people twice as large as themselves to retreat step by step.

Every time I saw the people who rushed up, they were all torn apart, and there were no dead bodies.

Seeing the evil ghost in black armor slowly pressing forward with a dangling long knife, Qiang Hu finally couldn't bear the strong pressure.

The defeated soldiers who retreated again did not return to the army, but directly pulled their horses and fled to both sides.

With their lead, the Hu people in the front did not know who shouted first, turned around one after another, and fled separately.

The barbarians under Didao City had not waited to form a formation to face the Han army coming from the north, and the front was sent to intercept the front troops, and they were already defeated.

Once someone takes the lead in escaping on the battlefield, the leader must try his best to stop it in time.

Otherwise, a partial rout would be formed, and it would be easy to cause the army to fall like a mountain.

Qiang Hu didn't have enough majestic leaders, and he was already scattered.

There was no timely information transmission, so that the people in the rear didn't know what happened. Seeing the defeat in front, the rear also became chaotic.

More importantly, the appearance of the Han army in the north accelerated the collapse of the army.

The central army of the Han army stopped at the foot of Didao city, and did not go to chase the Qianghu who was beginning to show signs of defeat.

It's just that the drums in the army are excited.

A deep shout began to sound: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

As the drums became more and more passionate, thousands of people began to shout together: "Wan Sheng! The big man is Wan Sheng!"

At the same time, there was the sound of weapons hitting.

The sound waves seem to be real, rolling forward, like thunder rolling past.

Even Qiang Hu, who was not affected by the rout, began to have commotion.

Some of the Qianghu who escaped first were driven back by Liu Hun's men.

During a short rest, the crossbowman shot the horns.

Mo Dao Shou began to retreat into the formation, then pulled up his mask, took out a small cloth bag from his body, and took out a ration wrapped in oil paper from inside.

Peel off the oiled paper, a burst of sweetness comes out, this is the unique ration of Modaoshou.

Putting the rations to his mouth, he gnawed silently.

The dry food on some people has been broken into pieces because of too much movement, but because it is wrapped in oil paper, it can be poured directly into the mouth, which saves a step.

There was no water on the battlefield, besides feeling a little dry in his mouth, Huo Yi felt that this dry food was really extravagant.

It was in the palace before, and such eating was extremely rare.

Not to mention that it is obviously mixed with sugar and refined salt.

Not only him, but even the captain beside him was careful, even if a small drop fell on his body, he picked it up and put it in his mouth regardless of the blood all over his body.

This kind of ration will only be issued before the battle, and it is the best dry ration in the army.

After chewing carefully, the captain sighed comfortably, "As long as I can eat this kind of food every day, even if I fight every day, I am willing!"

Huo Yi coughed because his throat was dry, "It would be better if there was water."

"If you guard the camp, there will naturally be water."

The captain knew that Huo Yi was a person arranged by his superiors, and he might have a better future than himself in the future, so he was willing to communicate with him.

"It's just that this time, the barbarians don't fight, and we are the attacking side. As long as we can win the battle, it doesn't matter if we drink less water."

As he said that, the captain looked at Huo Yi, "Did you come out of Nanxiang Academy?"

Huo Yi gnawed on the dry food, replied vaguely, and planned to hesitate to go there.

Unexpectedly, the captain is talkative: "The students who come out of the school are so good! They are all regarded as the disciples of the emperor, and they will have a future in the future."

"The old man also has a child, who entered the school the year before last, and sent a letter a few days ago, saying that he has been singled out this year, and is planning to go to Longyou to continue working with the prince."

As he said that, his eyes were full of brilliance: "In the future, it will be regarded as the first."

Hearing this, Huo Yi finally asked, "Longyou is more dangerous than Hanzhong. We will definitely fight Cao thief in the future, aren't you worried?"

The captain gave Huo Yi a strange look, as if he didn't understand why there were students like Huo Yi in the school.

"The old man also has a child who works in the workshop and married a wife. Last year, he married a bearded girl as a concubine. What are you afraid of?"

"Your Majesty must have rules, and the only son is not allowed to go to the front line. What's more, even if he dies in battle, the family will still have preferential treatment. What is there to be afraid of?"

In the battle of Longyou last year, many Wei soldiers were captured.

Junhou also picked some people out and asked them to talk about their days with Cao thief.

After a year of hard work, 50% to 60% of the food grown was harvested, and my whole family was hungry.

Even after joining the army, the family has no peace.

If you really want to die in front of the battle, don't talk about preferential treatment, your mother-in-law may be forced to marry someone else by the government immediately.

What are you drawing?

But he didn't dare to escape, and if he really wanted to, his parents, wife and children were better off, and they were sentenced to hard labor.

More seriously, parents were beheaded, wives and daughters were treated as camp prostitutes, and sons were among the dead. That was a common occurrence.

Cao thief is a usurper, and he wants to destroy the big man all the time. This is absolutely impossible for them to succeed.

I only heard the school captain's words earnestly educate Huo Yi: "So, if Cao thief is not defeated, how can there be a good life?"

"When Thief Cao left Hanzhong, how many people were forced to carry...back their hometown..."

"Leaving home." Huo Yi couldn't help reminding.

This is what Feng Junhou said.

"Wow!" The captain patted his thigh, "It's just leaving the country and leaving the well."

The corner of Huo Yi's mouth twitched.

"This old man can be regarded as the first batch of people who follow the lord, but he can't read and write, so this life is probably coming to an end."

The captain sighed regretfully, "It's not as good as those of you who have been to school."

"Boy, you have entered the school and know a lot of truths. You should know that only by defeating Cao thief can our children and grandchildren live a good life with peace of mind."

The lieutenant glanced at Huo Yi, "Thieves Cao don't treat us as human beings, do you still want to live a good life?"

He didn't understand any major principles, he just repeated over and over what others said at the "Recalling Bitterness and Thinking Sweetness" conference.

Not to mention anything else, but he is very clear about the truth that "Chinese and thieves are not independent".

If the big man is gone, his family in Hanzhong will have no good life.

So it is necessary to defeat Cao thief so that they will never stand up.

Even Huo Yi has lived in the palace since he was a child and has a firm mind.

But in the army, he could not help but feel shaken when he heard that even an ordinary school lieutenant could recite the phrase "Han and thief are not equal".

At this time, the whining horns sounded again, and at the same time, the sound of war drums also sounded.

"Prepare!"

Someone is calling loudly.

When Huo Yi heard this, he quickly put down his mask and grasped Mo Dao tightly.

"Don't worry, it's not time for us to play yet."

The old lieutenant of Youtiao sat still, "Come on, this is not the drumbeat of our Modao camp."

"Come, come, sit down, let's talk about how to kill Cao thief."

The captain patted his side.

Huo Yi: ...

Just when Jufu and Liu Hun drove Didao's Qianghu rebels to Daxia County according to the original plan.

Chen Shi in the south also led people and began to move westward to prevent the Hu people from fleeing southward. At the same time, they also sent people to notify the Bald Hair Department, asking them to seal off Fanghan as soon as possible.

A considerable number of Qianghu did not stay in Daxia County, but continued to flee westward along the Daxia River.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

The bald head guarded the cattle, sheep and horses looted in the winter, and did not move north from the temporary stronghold of Baishi City in time.

Even at this time, they didn't confront Qiang Hu who had retreated to Fanghan earlier.

The Qiang Hu who had been expelled by the Han army retreated back to Huahan and began to rejoin the Qiang Hu of Huahan.

Facing the Fanghan rebel army with a strength of more than 20,000 troops, the bald department became more and more hesitant.

They sent troops, hoping that the Han army would continue to advance westward quickly and join them in attacking Nanhan.

The lack of achievements in the bald department is completely different from the bravado in winter.

The news spread to Shouyang, and Feng Yong, who was basking in the sun, was furious all of a sudden: "When you grab things, you are fierce like a wolf, but when you really fight, you are timid. Is this bald man a waste?"

He got up from the rocking chair and walked briskly to the front hall.

The front hall was changed into the staff department of Hu Qiang Xiaowei.

Gongsun Zhengzheng signaled to the staff to prepare the map and sand table.

Then insert the small flag in your hand onto the sand table.

"Your Majesty, if the bald-haired army doesn't entangle the rebels, we can only temporarily give up on Fanghan, and we can't go any further."

Gongsun Zheng took a stick and tapped the north side of Taoshui, "If it goes too deep, I'm afraid Cao bandits in Liangzhou will take advantage of it."

Not to mention that Zhao Yun is just putting pressure on the Wei army in Yuzhong, even if he really marches, it may not be easy to capture Yuzhong City if the Wei army is prepared.

If Yuzhong City does not go down, Jufu Liu Hun and others cannot go too far west, otherwise Cao Wei can send troops from Jincheng, another support point to the east of the Yellow River, and sneak attack their rear.

Coupled with the fact that Di Daoxin's heart is not stable, if he suddenly turns back, it would be considered good if one-third of his more than ten thousand troops can run back.

According to the original plan, although the Han army only stopped when it reached Daxia City, there were bald troops in the west to block Qianghu in Fuhan.

With its own assistance, it is only a matter of time before the Ministry of Baldness annexes the Qianghu in the area of ​​Fanghan River Pass.

But I can also control the bald department step by step, and finally restore the governance of the westernmost part of Longxi without fighting.

Drive wolves to devour tigers, then tame wolves into dogs, and finally let the dogs bite Wei Jun in Liangzhou.

It's wonderful to think about it.

In order to achieve his goal, he gave women and wine, military parades and promises.

Who would have thought that the bald hair department was intimidated at the most critical moment!

Gongsun Zheng moved the small flag to the position of Baishi City, "Bald Hair Tianli said before that their tribe has been trying to occupy Fanghan."

"But now the news from General Chen says that they have already retreated to White Stone City. The situation in the bald department seems a bit strange."

Feng Yong looked at the sand table, frowned, and said, "Baishi City was originally their stronghold, and their tribe stayed there. It's not surprising to retreat there."

"Now I don't know whether they took the initiative to retreat or were forced to retreat."

He turned to Gongsun Zheng and asked, "Does the General Staff have a record for this situation?"

Gongsun Zheng nodded, and changed the positions of the three Han armies on the sand table.

"Now our three groups of people are all going to encircle Daxia City. At that time, General Chen can lead people to the old pass and guard Didao's north gate."

"Great Xia City is not far from the Old Pass. General Liu's cavalry can reach it in a day, and can respond at any time."

"After capturing Daxia City, General Ju led the army to continue westward, and cooperated with the Bald Army to attack Fanghan."

Feng Yong carefully looked at the sand table and nodded: "It's a little risky, but as long as General Chen keeps the old pass, there will be no worries in the future."

"In addition, Liu Hun led the cavalry to support it, so it's not a big problem."

Thinking of this, Feng Yong couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

It's better to just make dumplings for the rebels at Didao's place, and now I put half of them back. With the unexpected weakness of the bald department, the rebels who ran back actually caused trouble for themselves.

"The bald department, it seems that they want to preserve their strength!"

Feng Yong pondered for a moment and said something.

In this situation, it is a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

If the Han army does not move forward, it will be letting the tiger go back to the mountain, um, wrong, at best it is letting the snake into the water.

More importantly, it will make the bald department suspicious.

If we continue to move forward, the bald hair department can take advantage of the strength of the big man to easily take down Fanghan.

Under other circumstances, how could Feng Guiwang allow the bald-haired department to be so narrow-minded?

I have already pressed my fist to let them know what is the iron fist of Han imperialism.

But now Cao Wei is watching from the north of the Yellow River, and he needs the Bald Hair Department as a buffer, and at the same time lays the foundation for the governance of Huanghan, but he has to think carefully.

At this moment, only hurried steps were heard outside the door, and a staff officer who was a student from the school hurried in: "Shan Zhang, there is an urgent military situation!"

Feng Yong's heart skipped a beat, he took the secret letter from the army, and after making sure it was complete, he opened it to read.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he read the contents of the letter, Feng Yong cursed on the spot: "Cao!"
