Xiaoqi

The side of the crock well was broken, and the general died in battle.

Fan Chou begged for benevolence and got it, and died in battle.

When he was dying, he was still in the saddle, sitting on the horseback, and died on the way of charging.

The heroic death, the tragic death.

"Uncle!"

A mournful cry was mixed among the panic-stricken soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and then a majestic figure was seen swinging a knife on his horse, killing everyone he met, cutting a bloody path in the dense crowd, and flying to the side of Fan Chou's body , Howling loudly.His iron helmet had already been lost, his hair was disheveled, and the tears on his cheeks splashed down along with the blood splashed on his face, washing his blood-soaked chest armor.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"what"

Wars don't stop with someone's cries.Thousands of crossbow arrows were still whistling in the air, and the falling arrows were still mercilessly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and the shrill screams continued one after another.Under the dense rain of arrows, Fan Chou's [-]-step cavalry decreased sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fell down in pieces every time, and even the men and horses were killed and cleaned one by one by the crossbow arrows.

A wave of crossbow bolts fell, followed by another wave of crossbow bolts, whistling and falling continuously.The soldiers shrouded in crossbow arrows had no time to defend themselves, even if they raised their shields to defend, it would be of no avail.The crossbow bolts that come with great force break through the shield and armor, and can still ruthlessly penetrate the soldier's body, reaping his life.

"Uh, military commander, that man who leans over and cries loudly looks familiar to me! Does the military master know who this person is?" Behind the Xiliang army, Jin Gulema stopped on the mound, looking coldly at the Xiliang army. Crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, he suddenly asked Jia Xu in astonishment.

"Huh?" Jia Xu frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice with no expression on his face: "Of course you are familiar, the generals of Wuwei Army don't know him. That person is our second general Fan Yong!"

"Fan Yong?" Jin Gu exclaimed in surprise, dazed, and after a while, turned his head to look at Jia Xu in astonishment, and asked in amazement: "How could it be him? It's the time for the decisive battle between the two armies, and he's not here The lord fought bravely by his side, but why did he get involved with the Xiliang army instead? Could it be that he betrayed the lord and defected to the Xiliang army?"

Jia Xu shook his head solemnly, and said in a low voice: "Fan Yong is not far from betraying the lord, but what he did is similar to betrayal. He led his troops to stop Fan Chou's Xiliang army, but let the Xiliang army attack our army Afterwards, he didn't want to kill the enemy, but instead became Fan Chou's personal bodyguard, causing our soldiers to be more scruples, tied their hands and feet, and killed and injured tens of thousands of soldiers. How is this behavior different from surrendering to the enemy? But he is the sworn brother of the lord, He has a high status. He is the "Second General" of our army. The merits and demerits of us are not something that we, who are subordinates, can discuss in private. After the war, the lord makes his own decision, and we don't need to interfere.

Have you seen the man in front of Fan Yong? That is the middle base captain Fan Chou, who is also the main general who attacked the rear of our army this time.In addition, he is Fan Yong's uncle.A few days ago, he accepted Fan Yong as a false son, claiming that he led his troops to defect to our army during the war between the two armies.You just saw the result.Fan Chou's defection is false, but false surrender is true.Leading the crowd to avoid our army's war cavalry, and turning around to the rear of our army to fight back, almost made our army fall short.The lord was very angry about this, and asked me to come to the rear to destroy Fan Chou's troops. Our attack at this time is to completely defeat the [-] Xiliang infantry, and then support the Chinese army. "

"Oh!" Jin Gu secretly clicked his tongue when he heard the words, and murmured in astonishment.

Seeing this, Jia Xu asked softly, "Is General Jin Gu worried that Fan Yong will take revenge on the two of us?"

"Hey hey! Military teacher Ming Jian, this is exactly what the last general intends." Jin Gu was also honest, grinning, and responded in a low voice.

A smile appeared on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, and he said softly: "It's a matter of being loyal to the emperor. We are the lord's servants, and we should relieve the lord's worries and do our duty as ministers. Fan Chou is a man who contradicts what he says, has ulterior motives, and is stubborn. Speaking of it, he is not a villainous person. He was the uncle of the lord in the early years, and he was also the uncle of Fan Yong. Once one's own interests are touched, one's true colors will be revealed. This is the case with Fan Chou, and so are many generals of the Xiliang Army. They all leaked their own intentions during this battle. Because of this, the Xiliang Army looks powerful, but in fact it is very powerful. Weak, the generals of the various ministries have ulterior motives, and their faces and hearts are at odds, so they are not our army's opponents, and they will lose this battle.

As for Fan Chou's death, Fan Yong's resentment for the two of us is a bit tricky.If my predictions are correct, he will come over later to ask the teacher for his crimes, and he will even take action on the spot.If this is the case, General Jin Gu needs to take action to stop it, and the lord will have his own opinion after the war.In fact, if he was smart, he should know that Fan Chou died because of him. The more than 1 casualties of our army's rear line could not have died in vain. Otherwise, generals such as Xu Rong, Yang Ding, and Hu Zhen would inevitably feel resentment. Liang Jiang's troops will also be disturbed by this.In order to calm the anger, someone must pay the price, and the death of Fan Chou can offset everything. "

Jin Gu nodded frequently when he heard the words, and said in a low voice deeply: "What the military adviser said is very true. After all, the second general is too young, this time it is true that he was acting on his own will and mistaken himself and the army. However,,,,,, after this For one thing, I am afraid that the second general will inevitably have a rift in his heart, and it is not a good thing for our army."

Jia Xu looked at Jin Gu in amazement, and said in amazement: "General Jin Gu really impresses me, he has a long-term vision! I understand what the general means. You mean that there will be a gap between Fan Yong and the lord. It may affect the whole army in the future, right? This is indeed worth considering, but General Fan Yong should understand the duty of being a subject. Mistakes, and these mistakes need to pay a price. If the second general can reflect on himself, his future achievements will be limitless and his future will be great. Lord, he will definitely not look forward and backward because of his children's personal relationship, and he will not tolerate people who keep making mistakes without limit, even if the person who makes mistakes is his brother. Does General Jin Gu think so?"

Jin Gu nodded happily and said: "The general admires the military master's high opinion. The general is deeply touched by the military master's words. If the general can get to know the military master earlier, perhaps there will be no such thing as physical disability. Young and frivolous, Self-righteousness, if you make a mistake, you have to bear the due price. The general has experienced this personally and understands the three flavors. Thank you for your teaching!"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "I can't talk about teaching, I'm just talking about the facts. It's not a bad thing for General Jin Gu to suffer this disaster, because the general has experienced the test of life and death, and he already has the style of a general. After this battle , I think the general doesn’t need to be the guard of Wushuang City anymore, he can already be alone. After the war, I will recommend the general to the lord, and I hope the general will never forget the great kindness of the lord who rescued you personally, and attack the city for the lord. Another meritorious service!"

Hearing this, Jin Gu said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance and support, the general will be very grateful. Uh,,,,,,, the military adviser is very good at planning, and General Fan Yong is indeed here!"

Indeed, when Jia Xu and Jin Gu were talking, there were two fast horses coming towards them.The man on the horse was indeed Fan Yong, but he was holding a war horse in his hand, and this war horse was carrying Fan Chou's body on its back.

"Jia Xu, my uncle died, he died under the crossbow arrows of our Wuwei army, how do you explain it!" Fan Yong reined in his horse and stopped in front of the crossbow formation, and asked in a murderous voice.

Jia Xu replied calmly: "My condolences to the Second General. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and casualties are inevitable. From the standpoint of both sides, Fan Chou was dishonest, cunning and cunning, and caused our soldiers to suffer huge casualties. If you die, you die, so there is no need to explain. As far as personal friendship is concerned, General Fan Chou is loyal and courageous, and a man should be like this."

"You,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and, a crap, crotch-cracking bone!" Fan Yong glared at Jia Xu through gritted teeth, and snorted coldly.

"Da da da!"

Jin Gu rode out on his horse and stood in front of Fan Yong, respectfully said: "The last general has seen the second general. Death cannot be brought back to life, so I ask the second general to express his condolences. Just now the last general didn't know that the second general was in the Xiliang army. I am afraid that I will accidentally injure the general, so I ask the general to forgive me for being disrespectful!"

"Hmph! Are you saying that I joined the enemy in front of the battle?" Seeing Jin Gu standing in front of the battle, Fan Yong asked sharply, his eyes widened.

Jin Gu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Whether the second general surrenders to the enemy or not, the final general dare not speak nonsense. However, the second general is the right-wing general of our army. During the decisive battle, the lord is still fighting in front of the battle, but the general is in the Xiliang army." Entering and exiting at will will inevitably make people suspicious."

Hearing this, Fan Yong stared at Jin Gu fiercely with fiery eyes, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! How dare you be so unreasonable as a lame man, do you think that the saber in a certain hand can't kill you?"

Fan Yong's words not only angered Jin Gu, even Jia Xu was moved by it.

I saw Jia Xu rode his horse out of the battle slowly, and said in a cold and stern voice: "The second general is so majestic! General Jin Gu is the guard of Wushuang City appointed by the lord himself, and he is also the main general of our army. How can you let him shout?" Go? Jiamou advises you, take Fan Chou's body and leave immediately, the decisive battle is imminent, Jiamou and General Jingu still have military affairs, and they don't act casually like you! In addition, Jiamou is ordered by the lord Command the whole army. Since you disobeyed orders and made your own opinions, you are temporarily removed from the position of the right-wing general. After the battle, Jia will report the truth to the lord and let the lord make a decision. You leave the front of the battle immediately and execute the order immediately, so as not to Self mistake!"

"Hmph!" Fan Yong snorted heavily, his tear-stained cheeks changed drastically, from red to blue, and his eyes widened with anger.After gnashing his teeth in a stalemate for a moment, his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was ferocious, but in the end he gave Jin Gu and Jia Xu a hard look, and rode away.

Chapter 321

th.

Fan Yong took Fan Chou's body and left the battlefield sadly, looking west.

"Alas!" Watching Fan Yong leave, Jia Xu couldn't help but sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

"Why did the military commander sigh?"

As Fan Yong left, the anger on Jin Gu's face gradually disappeared, and then he waved his hand to signal the crossbowmen to continue shooting arrows, rode his horse and followed Jia Xu back into the formation, and asked in a low voice.

After Jia Xu reined in his horse, he said in a deep voice with a sad expression: "Fan Yong is a talented general. He is highly skilled in martial arts, proficient in the art of war, rigorous in managing the army, and has clear rewards and punishments. He looks reckless on the outside, but in fact he is rough and fine. The rear is still attacking the city, and he is a rare good general. In addition, he is harmonious in dealing with people, has a very harmonious relationship with the generals in the army, and has won the trust of the lord. In addition, he is the lord's righteous brother. His status is different from that of ordinary generals. In our army, he seems to be under one man and above ten thousand people, and his status is detached.

If there is no today's matter, after this battle is over, he will be reused by the lord, and the obeisance to the general and the title of marquis are just around the corner, and he will definitely be able to hold a heavy army and guard the side.It's a pity that he was too ignorant of the importance, mistakenly regarded the trust and brotherhood of the lord as his own capital, acted according to his whim, disregarded the overall situation of our army, and put the lord in danger, it was purely emotional.So ignorant of the general situation, disregarding the overall situation, and acting recklessly, even if he is the lord's brother-in-law, he may not be able to hide from the mouths of everyone, and his bright future will be ruined.What's more, what he did this time embarrasses the lord; this is a taboo for a minister.In this way, after this battle, he is afraid that he will be left idle, and he will not have the opportunity to lead the army alone in the short term.

It's a pity that such a fierce general was originally a talent to be made, but because he couldn't position himself properly and didn't know his duty as a servant, he missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now.There will never be such a good opportunity again! "

Jin Gu was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately thought of the good opportunity Jia Xu mentioned, which should be the upcoming reorganization of the Xiliang Army.

Indeed, this reorganization of the entire army is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for General Wuwei.Almost all the generals of the Wuwei Army will be promoted, and the main generals in the army are very likely to jump into the dragon's gate and become a marquis. Each general can at least command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and be alone.After all, the lord Li Li won't let Xiliang generals continue to serve as the chief generals of the various ministries, and will definitely promote a large number of Wuwei generals to take over the entire Xiliang army.This is a self-evident thing.

It's just that the premise of all this is that the Wuwei Army must win this battle.

Otherwise, everything is empty talk, just like a dream in a mirror.

"Military division. The current situation of our army is very unfavorable. How can you be sure that our army will win?" Jin Gu asked suspiciously.

"The situation is unfavorable?" Jia Xu murmured.Shaking his head calmly, he said: "The current situation between the two armies does seem to be very unfavorable to our army. Li Jue personally led the Huben camp to rush to attack our commander's flag, and the lord is also in a tight siege. But these are all illusions. With the lord's wisdom, this What a crisis at that time!

In fact, after the defeat and capture of the two generals Guo Bang and Duan Yan, our army has already established the victory.Among the many generals of the Xiliang Army.Apart from Li Jue, Guo Si and Duan Yan are the two most powerful. Taking these two is equivalent to controlling half of the Xiliang army.not to mention.Now Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and Fan Chou are dead.In this way, only Li Jue was left as the main general of the Xiliang Army to support him, so there was nothing to fear! "

"Uh, so that's how it is." Jin Gu was stunned, stunned in his heart.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.

Right now, except for Li Jue's direct descendants, the Xiliang Army has no leader and is on the verge of being defeated.Even if the two armies ceased fighting at this moment, under the constraints of the Wuwei army, Li Jue was simply unable to recruit various Xiliang armies.This means that after this battle, the Xiliang Army can no longer pose a threat to the Wuwei Army. It is an inevitable result to bow their heads and admit defeat and accept reorganization.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Gu bowed his hands in a fighting spirit and said: "Master, my lord is now in a tight siege, the last general asks for orders, lead the troops to charge, and swear to protect the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army!"

Jia Xu stroked the one-foot-long black beard on his chin casually, staring at Fan Chou's soldiers and horses who were rushing about a hundred paces away, he nodded happily and said, "You go, just keep the commander-in-chief flag, there is no need to kill too much."

"Promise!" Jin Gu respectfully accepted the order, and immediately he jumped out of the battle, commanding sharply: "Guard the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, and all the soldiers follow me to attack!"

"The archers retreat, the giant shield soldiers step forward, and defend the handsome flag!"
