bookworm.

The captain scolded in his heart, but still smiled: "Don't worry, the general still has more than [-] people left? As long as you don't meet the regular army of the Mo family, self-protection is enough."

In the woods under the low hill, Qin Ke sat on his horse and watched the two cavalrymen who were approaching constantly, watching them dragging and sawing one after the other.

Tu Ergou couldn't hold back for a long time, the blade was more than half out of its sheath, but was pushed back by Qin Ke, "Don't worry, wait until they get close."

Qin Ke turned his head and looked at the solemn Mohist cavalry behind him. Everyone's eyes reflected sharpness, and a cold killing intent gradually rose among them.

Four hundred cavalry were used as bait. This was a plan Abu had planned in advance. It happened that the Mohist cavalry had just experienced a big battle. The army lacked everything except wounded people. Abu simply gathered these people together, Then deliberately smear some blood and mud, so that at a glance, anyone will think that this is just a group of remnants and defeated soldiers.

It's just that...behind this group of remnants, there is a group of tigers and wolves hidden.

Just as the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty passed by, Qin Ke finally grasped the reins tightly, and resolutely unsheathed the Bodhisattva sword in his hand. With a loud shout, he drove the horses out of the grove.

"kill!"

During the flickering of the sword, the entire cavalry has boldly protruded from the forest!

The tigers and wolves, who had been lurking for a long time, could finally show their minions unscrupulously at this moment. The mountain wind howled, and the fallen leaves were crushed by the horseshoes.

The cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty were originally high-spirited and arrogant, but at this moment, they were like a lone hare meeting a hungry tiger and wolf. They could hardly hold the reins in their hands, and their faces turned pale with fright.

General Ding's heart beat wildly. Looking at the Mohist cavalry rushing out from the forest, he said in a panic, "How can there be Mohist cavalry in this wild place?"

It's just too late to regret, a thousand cavalry led by Qin Ke quickly cut off their retreat, the light of the saber flashed, sending chills down the spine.

At the same time, the Mohist cavalry who had fled in front of them suddenly turned their horses and arranged their formation in an orderly manner.Abu's face was smeared with blood, his head was tied with a dirty strip of cloth, his eyes were as bright as stars, he held the halberd in his hand, raised his arms and shouted: "Whoever puts down his weapon will not be killed! "

Qin Ke also shouted from behind Tang Jun: "Those who put down their weapons will not be killed!"

The Tang cavalry stopped their horses one after another, while the Mohist cavalry stood outside, falling silent like a group of black sculptures. General Ding looked around and silently inserted the drawn knife back into its sheath.

He thought of his three-year-old son, his docile wife...

He was supposed to be a hunter, but why did he become a prey in a few breaths?

He finally gave up struggling and slowly dropped his weapon: "We surrender..."

Seeing the surrender of their own general, the remaining Tang cavalry naturally threw away their weapons obediently, and waited with gloomy faces.

Abu breathed a sigh of relief quietly in his heart, and raised his voice: "Get off the horse! Come over slowly!"

"General Tu." Qin Ke got off his horse and glanced at Tu Ergou beside him. The latter understood and shouted to his cavalry, "Follow me!"

Then the Mohist cavalry got off their horses at the same time and approached Tang Jun.

Originally, the Tang soldiers had put down their weapons and were willing to capture them without a fight, but now, looking at this group of Mohist cavalrymen holding sabers with killing intent in their eyes, they said timidly, "We all surrendered...you don't think you want to kill the prisoners, do you? "

"Huh?" Qin Ke was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help laughing: "Who said you want to kill prisoners? Come on, take off your armor."

"Armor?" Seeing Qin Ke's face, General Ding couldn't help sighing at his youth, but he couldn't allow him to think too much at this time, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, armor."

"Perhaps they want to wear it for the group of disabled soldiers?" He looked at the group of blood-stained "bait" and thought.

After a while, all the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty took off their armor, leaving only the crumpled inner lining, which looked extremely thin and helpless in the autumn wind.

And Qin Ke didn't have time to say more, but he also started to take off his armor, and then put his head into Tang Jun's red and black helmet.

"Isn't it for them?" General Ding didn't quite understand what the group of Mohist cavalry were going to do.

It's just that another team of Mohist cavalry has already started to drive them away with sabers and headed to the other side.

Strictly speaking, General Ding's frame appears to be wider. In contrast, Qin Ke's figure is much thinner, so after he puts it on, his whole outfit is a bit loose, and the helmet even blocks half of his vision.

Abu looked at him, frowned and said, "Look at you, it's not suitable at all, I told you to let me go, you have to fight with me."

Qin Ke supported the helmet, trying to make it fit better. Hearing Abu's complaint, he grinned: "You? You can't even wear it, okay? Although I don't wear it properly, I can still fit people in it..."

Abu knew that this was not the time to argue, because after a long time, the team staying over there would definitely become suspicious, so he whispered: "You remember in a moment, just destroy their array, and leave the rest to us." .”

"I know." Qin Ke nodded, stroked the Bodhisattva sword at his waist, and just to be on the safe side, he took it off and handed it to Abu, then got on his horse and said, "Then I'll go."

"Okay!" Abu looked at Qin Ke, "You can slow down and give us some time to get in place."

"I know." Qin Ke held the reins of the horse and turned his head to look at the "Tang cavalry" behind him. He deliberately emphasized his tone: "As long as I don't retreat, you are not allowed to retreat even if you are dead!"

"Yes!"

In the food team, Master Tie stood impatiently in the square formation, turned around, raised his head from time to time to look at the sun above his head, and kept counting the time in his heart. It was clearly a cool autumn day, but his forehead showed a lot of fine lines. beads of sweat.

The captain standing beside him looked at him with rare respect. Although he usually seemed like a burden in the army, he was indeed a dedicated person.

It's just that in the eyes of warriors, this kind of loyalty sometimes seems too pedantic, or in other words, it's very troublesome and annoying.

"Master Tie, don't worry about it." The captain sighed.

"Why don't I worry!" Master Tie said, beating his fist on his palm, "It's too rash, it's too rash! There are only a few hundred remnants, just let them go, and they will either starve to death in the end, or hide in the mountains to become bandits. What threat can it pose to us? But General Ding led the cavalry to chase after him. In case something happens, the grain and grass..."

He raised his head and glanced at the sunlight: "Look, it's been more than half an hour, this... I..." He blushed, and stomped on the ground a few times, like a child venting his anger.

The captain remained as if nothing had happened, and said: "Master Tie, with less than five hundred remnants, it is not enough to defeat General Ding. If we have food..."

He looked around and saw that more than a thousand Tang infantry and archers were in an orderly formation, ready to fight. They were all soldiers in the Conquest to the South Army, and they could be regarded as Xiang Chu's direct troops.

However, although the Zhengnan Army is the family property of the Tang State, there are only 6 real elites among them, including [-] Shenwu Tianjun and [-] Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry. Strictly speaking, they cannot be called elites.

But so what?In this wilderness, could there still be black cavalry from the Mohists?Although they were also dressed in black armor, the group of remnants just now were completely worthless.

He remembered that when he was in the army, he saw a black knight once. Those people did not light a torch in the dark night, and their hoofs sounded like thunder. The Mohist hand crossbows in their hands reflected the bright moonlight, like ghost fingers, "chi chi" Amid the sound, the brothers beside him fell to the ground... Then the blade of the saber flashed, and countless heads shot up into the sky. It was a silent army, a group of executioners who silently took people's lives.

At that time, he was lucky enough to pick up a life among the dead. Even today, when he thinks back to that night, he still can't help but keep shaking.

If possible, he hoped that he would never face those terrifying cavalry again in his life.

"Look, they're back." The captain's eyes lit up.

A group of black and red figures appeared in the distance of the road, and the sound of horseshoes gradually became louder.

When Mr. Tie heard it, he struggled to look ahead, regardless of the pain in his legs and feet.

"Looks like it was a big victory. Look, the armor is all in order. What is the bag in their hands? Could it be the heads of those Mohist cavalrymen?" The captain laughed. "Oh, it's a pity that I joined the infantry, otherwise I would like to join in the fun..."

"Human head?" Lord Tie couldn't help shrinking a bit, as a civil servant, he really didn't dare to look at these bloody things.

The school lieutenant looked forward and ordered: "Get out of the way and welcome General Ding in!"

The speed of the "Tang cavalry" was not too fast, and it was obvious that they were idle, probably because they had just wiped out a group of remnants, and they were in a good mood, and there were even some laughter.

The captain's mouth was also smiling, and when the cavalry gradually approached, he held the handle of the knife and shouted loudly: "General Ding! How, how many gains?"

The sound of horseshoes was still there, but that "General Ding" didn't answer. He still lowered his head slightly and galloped forward. From the captain's eyes, their speed didn't slow down, but accelerated even more.

At first, the captain thought that his voice was not loud enough, and his general was in the crowd, and the sound of horseshoes covered his ears, so he didn't respond.So he yelled a few more times, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without arousing any response.

He frowned, and finally felt that something was wrong, and when the cavalry was within two hundred steps, he finally saw the leading cavalry clearly...

The man in the general's armor is not his own General Ding at all!

4 Chapter sixty

Almost instantly, the captain felt a flame explode in his heart, filling his chest completely.

His pupils narrowed sharply, and he screamed: "It's... enemy attack! Enemy attack! Archers! Shoot arrows!"

However, it was too late.

At the moment when he was shouting, Qin Ke finally raised his head. At this time, he didn't need to hide anymore, he took off his helmet with his backhand and threw it out.

The helmet drew an arc in the air, bringing up Qin Ke's high ponytail bun on the back of his head. It fluttered in the wind like a sharp black short whip. Everyone's weapons were unsheathed at the same time, reflecting sunlight!

The arrows shot by the archer in a hurry appeared to be very weak, and when they fell on the person, they couldn't even penetrate the outermost layer of leather armor.And the phalanx that had just opened a gap was too late to close again. In an instant, Qin Ke and his men rushed into the phalanx of the Tang army.

The cavalry's sprint was like a spinning and stirring steel knife, piercing into Tang Jun's vulnerable chest.

Although the Mohist cavalry were not good at using Tang's standard swords, even if they were not good at it, it would not be difficult to slash hard. The Tang army's formation gradually became more chaotic, and they were unable to build a defense line at all.

And Qin Ke saw that everyone had rushed into the center, and then shouted: "Throw!"

Countless cloth bags flew up, but when these things fell, they were not very soft, and even made a crisp sound of breaking. The pieces of the earthen pot fell from it, and the crystal liquid inside was filled with grain and grass. Spreading on the cart.

"This is...wine?" Master Grain Transport Tie, who was hiding next to the cart, widened his eyes. Seeing the glint of the knife and countless blood flying, he didn't dare to hide any longer.

He took a deep breath, summoned up all his courage, imagined his righteousness for the country for many years, and shouted loudly: "Quickly dodge the grain trucks! Dodge! They are going to set fire!"

As soon as the words fell, the flames shot up into the sky, and then devoured the grains in the sacks, and then the raging flames swayed in the wind like a rampant demon.

The formation of the entire Tang State infantry was in chaos in the flames.

"Don't be afraid! Don't make a mess! It's because they don't have many people! Don't make a mess!" The hem of Mr. Tie's clothes was probably stained with flames due to the splash of wine, but he didn't care about it at all, but shouted vigorously .

Others laughed at him as a scholar, and he always knew that he was just a scholar, but it didn't mean he didn't know anything about military affairs. Learned some reasons for fighting.

"They want to mess up our phalanx!" He opened his heart, "As long as we don't mess up, they have nothing to take advantage of! There are only a few hundred people!"

Then he fell down suddenly, and the lieutenant who threw himself on him slapped his hem vigorously, extinguishing the gradually expanding flame, and said with a mournful face: "Master Tie, stop shouting, and try to escape."

"Why run away!" Lord Tie's eyes turned red, "I was ordered to escort food and grass, and now that the food and grass are gone, if I still run away, what face do I have to meet General Xiang? There are only a few hundred people! Let everyone take up weapons! !"

"No... no... it's too late, it's too late!" The lieutenant pointed to the mountains on both sides of the road with horrified eyes. Pi's hooves were soft and silent in the mud, but they were still terrifying when they charged.

At the end of the road, another group of black cavalry was also approaching constantly. Abu was sitting at the front, holding a halberd in his hand, raising it high, his hands stretched out like a goshawk and pounced towards them.

More than 2000 Mohist cavalry were already more than the Tang army. In the chaos, the Tang army's formation had already been torn into a mess. The collapsed morale could not support their courage to resist. Everyone was running away, like a bereaved dog. .

Among the chaotic army, Qin Ke drew his sword left and right. The long battle sword pierced through the chest of an infantryman who was trying to pick him off his horse with a spear, and then pierced out through his vest.

"Ake!" Abu shouted loudly, raised his hand and threw the Bodhisattva sword over.

Qin Ke let go of the battle sword in his hand, stepped on the horse's back with both legs, and the whole person soared into the air, caught the saber he was used to, and when he landed, he unsheathed it, swinging the sword freely and gracefully, like a tree of white flowers Blooming brilliantly.

Qijinjian, Begonia.

This trick should have been used in the chaos, especially when the crowd was crowded, the effect was even more amazing!

The three Tang Jun who surrounded them just let out a muffled snort, and blood burst from their chests and splashed everywhere.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, this Tang army had already been killed by the Mohist cavalry. Excluding those who escaped and those who put down their weapons and captured them without a fight, a total of 400 people died under the sword of Qin Ke's party.

The casualties of the Mohist cavalry were only dozens of people.

Of course, if the Tang army resisted desperately, Qin Ke's side would definitely not suffer so few casualties. What's more important is that the Mohist cavalry not only killed people, but also shouted loudly according to Abu's previous agreement: "Put down your weapons and don't kill!"

Seeing the flames everywhere and the raging cavalry, the Tang cavalry lost their courage. Except for a few people who escaped through the forest, most of them put down their weapons. Have the [-] troops besieged Jinzhou?

So where did these more than 2000 cavalry come from?

They don't believe that Xiang Chu will be defeated, so they don't think that Qin Ke and others rushed out of Jinzhou, and more than 2000 people rushed out of an army of [-]... This is a story that even storytellers dare not make up.

Under the control of the Mohist cavalry, these Tang cavalry were driven together and formed into a group, trembling like a flock of sheep kept in a sheep pen.

There was some noise, Qin Ke frowned, and when he heard the cry: "Let me go, I'm going to kill them", he rushed over in three steps, snatched the long knife from the man's hand, Taking advantage of the opportunity, he punched him in the lower abdomen.

He didn't try his best, but just made the man take a few steps back.

"General...Old Liu...Old Liu is dead!" The person who held up the knife and threatened to kill the prisoners was Qian Changtu Ergou, his eyes were red, although he had a lot of disputes with Lao Liu on weekdays, but Those quarrels were at most just differences of opinion. On the battlefield, the two were still brothers who shared life and death.

But in the assault just now, Lao Liu rushed forward alone, but was shot in the back, and then was thrown off his horse by two soldiers holding long guns.

The gun head penetrated into his chest and pierced his heart, and the flowing blood gradually formed a small pool of blood under him.

Qin Ke lowered his head and looked back. The fearful Tang soldier looked at the Mohist cavalry in his own camp, and was silent for a while.

When they left the city, there were still three thousand people, but now there is only one Tuergou left. Fighting something like this is always accompanied by death, and no one knows whose turn will be next.

Abu also walked over, looked at Tu Ergou and said in a low voice: "General Tu, killing prisoners is not a good thing after all. If we hadn't shouted to put down our weapons and not kill them, these Tang people would not have been captured so quickly. If you raise your hands now Dao, Tang Guobing is afraid to rebel..."

Of course, Tu Ergou also knew the possible consequences of killing the prisoners. In the end, he could only put down his long knife, covered his eyes and squatted down, crying: "How can I explain to the old Liu's mother-in-law... His daughter, this year Only three years old..."

Qin Ke and Abu looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing.

At this time, a young general came up and asked in a low voice: "General, together with the four hundred cavalrymen before, we captured nearly 2000 people. How do we deal with these people? We can't... just let them go like this?"

Of course, you can't let go, but if you want Qin Ke to go back on his word and slaughter them all, he can't do such a ruthless hand.

So Qin Ke ordered: "Take off their armor, confiscate their weapons and horses, give them a little food, and burn the fodder that can't be taken away with the armor. That's it."

"Yes."

Soon, the news of Qin Ke's treatment of them spread among Tang Jun's team. They learned that they could save one life, and they all began to be grateful. Many soldiers are scrambling to take off their armor, like a group of chickens trying to break out of their eggs.

But among these people, there was a discordant voice.

"What are you doing! You are soldiers of the Tang State, even if you are defeated, you should follow with your life, but take a look..."

During the charge just now, Master Tie somehow managed to save his life, but his robes were scorched in many places, his hair was also full of blood, tangled together one by one, he felt that he was not as good as a beggar in Jinzhou City.
