Chapter 68 068 [Drinking Hulu’s Blood with a Long Sword]

Everyone in the world has an illusion that all elite divisions must be cautious from beginning to end and never give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them.

If placed 13 years ago, this sentence could be used to describe the nine armies of the Jing Dynasty at that time, especially the Xiashan Army built by Qing Yuding, the father of Qing Yugong.

Even seven years ago, Jingjun's main force could afford such an evaluation.

However, there have been more than six years of peace in the world. The Southern Qi Dynasty has neither the intention nor the ability to make the Northern Expedition. Beiyan and Zhao are willing to become vassals. The Cang tribe in the far north is still very weak. For the Jing Dynasty, which dominates the fertile land in the north, everything around them is weak. This generation has few rivals in the world.

There has been no war for six years, and even the sharpest blade will be stained with dust.

Even though the training of Jingjun's main force did not relax, after all, they lacked the tempering of the fire of war.

After this period of observation, Lu Chen discovered that Jing Jun's arrogance was almost written on his face.

Perhaps it was the confidence they gained from crossing the Shuangfeng Mountains and seizing the Wangmei Ancient Road, or perhaps it was the Guangling Army that was not taken seriously by them at all. The nearly 2 Jing Army, from the commander down to the pawns, acted with dignity from beginning to end. There is no real calmness in dealing with this war.

When they first arrived in Guangling, they didn't even survey the surrounding terrain. Jingjun launched an attack directly and had to withdraw his troops and stop fighting after more than half an hour.

If this decision was made because the Beiyan Procuratorate had backup in the city, then the three hundred soldiers who died in Wengcheng were enough to make Coach Jingjun understand that the Guangling defenders had already cleared the city and were fully prepared to defend the city. .

Under such circumstances, Commander Jing Jun still did not think about a more detailed plan. Knowing that he lacked the assistance of large siege equipment, he still stubbornly attacked Guangling City with his troops, thinking that he could capture Guangling City with the bravery of his soldiers alone.

From this point of view, there is a big gap between this Jing army and the elite division that attacked Heluo more than ten days ago. It does not refer to the strength of individual soldiers, but the entire army appears to be very vain and arrogant.

Such a military spirit will inevitably become restless after encountering a setback.

Now that the Wangmei Ancient Road is occupied by the enemy, Beiyan and Jingchao will definitely continue to send more troops to Guangling, using this point to force Xiao Wangzhi to mobilize troops to aid Guangling, thereby weakening the strength of the Lai'an defense line - this is Lu Chen's comprehensive consideration Finally, he decided to attack at night. He wanted to add fuel to the fire to the opponent's coach before the enemy's new force arrived, causing him to lose his mind and go completely crazy.

The most important thing is that Lu Chen does not think that tonight's trip will be a dead end, because he firmly believes that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

The facts were close to his judgment.

The five hundred horsemen moved forward to cover up the killings, while using the torches they carried to set fire to the camp. Jingjun's soldiers could not tell how many enemies there were, and they were confused and panicked. The situation was extremely chaotic for a while.

In the central military tent, Qin Chun, who had just fallen asleep, came out wearing armor, looking at the scene of flames in the west, and said angrily: "This idiot Wei Gao, didn't I remind him to be careful tonight?"

The soldiers around him were reluctant to say anything. It was common sense for generals to be prepared for night attacks. Of course, Qin Chun would mention it casually.However, neither he nor the generals below believed that the Qi army had the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, unless the Huaizhou Zhenbei army stationed in Guangling was famous for its bravery.

Qin Chun calmed down the anger in his heart and said in a cold voice: "Immediately send an order to Sang Mai and ask him to personally lead the right guard cavalry to the west camp. Be sure to surround this Qi army and kill them all without leaving any one behind!"

"Follow the order!"

The soldiers ran away.

The situation in the Western Camp naturally alarmed all the Jingjun troops. However, no one dared to do anything without military orders. If it caused a greater disturbance, it might even spread to the entire army. Although the Jingjun generals were arrogant, they would not commit such a crime. A low-level error.

This gave the Qi army's five hundred cavalry extremely precious time.

Lu Chen knew this very well. He kept ordering the people behind him to follow him, and then led them across the enemy's western camp and rushed straight to the camp located in the core area.

The distance of more than thirty feet was not as smooth as imagined.

More and more Jingjun soldiers appeared. Some of them didn't even have time to put on their armor. They held their swords and roared in front of them.

Stationed in this camp were [-] horsemen from the left guard of the Jing army. It was too late to lead their horses into battle at this time, but they were not able to fight without their mounts.

The fierceness in Jinglian people's bones was completely stimulated in a very dangerous situation.

However, what they faced were not soldiers in the traditional sense.

If the two armies were to confront each other, it would be difficult for the 500 people brought by Lu Chen to follow orders and prohibitions. Over time, they would naturally become a mess.

But the current scene of chaos and chaos is exactly what these masters are best at fighting.

What's more, the leader, Lu Chen, had no intention of shrinking or being cowardly.

Only move forward!

No matter who is blocking the front, Lu Chen, Lin Xi and Li Chengen are like the sharpest knives, cutting through the thorns and thorns, leading a bloody path with five hundred cavalry.

After passing through many obstacles, they came to the burly Jing Junwu.

This person was Wei Gao, the commander of Zuowei Qingqi, who was known for his stubbornness under Qin Chun.

Facing the menacing Qi cavalry, Wei Gao was not afraid at all. He roared and commanded his subordinates, trying to entangle them and keep them in the camp.

He knew very well that it was impossible for Guangling City to send out too many troops for a night attack. The hundreds of cavalry in front of him were the opponent's mobile force to suppress the situation, and his own reinforcements would arrive soon. As long as they stayed, they could make up for his negligence. The sin of carelessness.

At this moment, Li Chengen whipped the horse's buttocks, speeded up again in an instant, and then swept across with his spear, forcing the soldiers in front of Wei Gao to give way.

Lin Xi galloped forward on his horse, slashed two spears away with one strike, and pointed straight at Wei Gao.

Several Jing soldiers rushed forward fearlessly and slashed at the legs of Lin Xi's horse with their swords.

The horse neighed in pain and fell like a mountain.

Lin Xi threw off the stirrup a moment ago, and the saber was only slightly propped on the ground. His light body calmly avoided the network of knives in front of him.

A hand stretched out from beside him, and Lin Xi took it without hesitation. Then he swayed and sat safely behind Lu Chen.Lu Chen urged his mount forward, and in an instant he was in front of Wei Gao. The sword in Lin Xi's hand forced the two Jing soldiers back, and then slashed at Wei Gao's thrusting spear with thunderous force.

The majestic power rushed out in an instant, causing Wei Gao's jaw to hurt so much that he almost couldn't hold it.

"General be careful!"

An exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears.

Wei Gao looked up and saw a bright sword coming towards him.

He subconsciously fell back.

The light of the sword follows everything like a shadow.

Wei Gao's reaction was not unpleasant. Such a response similar to Iron Banqiao could have avoided this knife.

However, Lu Chen's target tonight was Jing Jun's cavalry and the head of the opponent's general.

Otherwise it is not enough to deter the enemy.

He curled up and dismounted without hesitation. Behind him, Lin Xi held the reins with one hand in a tacit understanding, and waved a knife with the other hand to help Lu Chen block the attack from the side.

Just as Wei Gao was about to twist his body, Lu Chen took advantage of his falling force and stepped hard on his lower abdomen. Then all his inner energy poured into his arms, and he slashed down with the knife in both hands!

Blood gushes out!
This tragic battlefield seemed to fall into a moment of deathly silence.

Lu Chen, covered in blood, leaned over and picked up Wei Gao's head, shouting angrily: "Behead the enemy general!"

At the same time, Li Chengen stabbed several Jingjun soldiers to death one after another, rode his horse to the front of the camp, and rolled down the silent military flag with his spear.

The chaotic roars of the five hundred riders soon became unified.

"The enemy will give the head!"

The sound shook the sky.

The morale of Jingjun in this battalion has completely fallen to the bottom, and countless people are running around in a hurry.

Lin Xi rode forward a few steps and stretched out his left hand towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen held her hand and jumped on the horse, then issued a clear instruction to everyone.

"Keep going!"

This was the strategy he had planned before setting off. After entering the camp, he would go straight through the camp. If he could kill the enemy and capture the flag, he would fight out from the south.

The soldiers of Jing's army who lost their leader were unable to form an effective blockade and could only watch the Qi army's cavalry fly away.

Hundreds of cavalry broke out of the camp. At this time, Jingjun's right-guard cavalry galloped from the northwest. Lu Chen immediately ordered to turn to the southeast and circle around the rear of Jingjun's camp.

If it is a long-distance attack, the Qi army will inevitably be overtaken by the Jing army. At that time, the Jing Dynasty's cavalry dominated the world. A very important reliance was that their horses had excellent endurance and were not slow. They were always in a position to attack, retreat and escape. favorable position.

However, Jingjun Camp is less than four miles away from the west gate of Guangling, and even including the detour, it is only more than five miles.

Hundreds of horsemen rode through the residual clouds, getting closer and closer to the Wengcheng ahead.

Jingjun was chasing after him, but it was difficult for them to shorten the distance in such a short period of time.

In the night wind, Lu Chen's left hand holding the head was shaking slightly, not because of fear, but because he was too excited. He felt like his blood was boiling at this moment.

Lin Xi drove her mount calmly, her eyes extremely bright, like stars shining in the dark night.

During the turbulence, the two bodies were inevitably close to each other, but Lin Xi did not move forward deliberately, and Lu Chen did not say anything.

After a while, the Wengcheng was already in sight, and Jing Jun behind him still did not give up.

At this moment, countless torches lit up on the city wall, and the sound of bowstrings sounded one after another, like a rain of locust arrows, splashing towards the back of hundreds of riders.

Lu Chen looked up and saw a forest of spears and halberds above. Rows of soldiers were standing in order and waiting in formation. Duan Zuozhang, Zhan Hui and others seemed to be among them.

They delayed the Jingchao cavalry in the distance with rain of arrows, and welcomed the hundreds of cavalry who risked their lives to attack the camp back to the city with endless cheers.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The passionate roar penetrated the night, echoed between heaven and earth, and never stopped for a long time.

In the Jingjun camp, Qin Chun stared at Guangling City in the distance, his face was ashen, and his eyes were like spitting fire.

He didn't know who the general who led the assault tonight was, but he had a hunch in his heart that this person should be the instigator of yesterday's fire.

Listening to the cheers that kept coming from Guangling City, Qin Chun gritted his teeth and said: "If the city is destroyed one day, you will be cut into thousands of pieces!"

"Call the generals to discuss the affairs of the Chinese army!"
