Chapter 27 Lost in the First Battle 4

The scouts brought by Wang Junqing are all extremely good hands in the army. Once they take action, almost all the arrows can make achievements. The most urgent barbarians immediately fell straight from the horse, which also delayed the speed of the barbarians behind them sprint and bought a certain amount of time for the Song army who was fleeing ahead. .

As soon as the Song army saw the reinforcements appear, their morale was boosted. The last general turned around and stabbed the spear in his hand, forcing the enemies to come one by one. At this time, Wang Junqing had recognized their identity, which was the Xizhou army he was looking for, and the general who bravely killed the enemy was Xiang Cang, the governor of Xizhou.

"Up!" Seeing that it was exactly the person he was looking for, Wang Junqing would not neglect it. He urged the horse to run out of the forest next to him and held a steel knife in his hand. Under his leadership, more than 100 scouts killed the remaining barbarians like the wind.

Those barbarians obviously did not think that they would suddenly kill Song's reinforcements. In surprise, so many people died. They no longer had the courage to fight again. Seeing that the Song army killed so fiercely, they immediately turned around and left. The scouts covered up behind, with a round of knives and knives, and killed nearly half of the enemy, which allowed the barbarians to escape.

At this time, Wang Junqing had pulled his horse to Xiang Cang's side. Looking at his injured and embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help asking, "Xiang Dudu, how can you be like this? Where are the soldiers and horses in Xizhou?

"You are..." At this time, Xiang Cang was shaky, and his eyes were also blurred. It took him a long time to see the clothes of these people clearly and recognized the identity of the general in front of him: "Are you General Wang? Why is the general here? We were designed by the barbarians, and the army was trapped in the mountain in front of us. I came out desperately to ask the commander for help..."

"Did you really fall into the trap of barbarians?" Wang Junqing sighed: "I only brought more than 100 brothers here. I'm afraid I can't help you rescue the Xizhou army. Tell me the situation first before you can come up with a plan!"

"Well, it's all my fault. I was eager to make contributions and was trapped by the barbarians, which trapped the army..." Xiang Cang looked at himself. He had already regretted it at the beginning of the battle, so in the face of doubts, he did not hide it and directly took all the responsibility on himself.

More than an hour ago, Xiang Cang accepted Ruan Yong's proposal and personally led the army to break through. The barbarians did not expect that someone in the Song army would break through and was accidentally killed out of the mountain by thousands of them. However, they also paid a heavy price. Two thousand brothers who broke out with them died surrounded by barbarians, and many barbarians followed.

While fleeing, Song Jun fought with the barbarians. Under the leadership of Xiang Cang, they finally made only a few barbarians follow at the cost of most of the people. However, with the bloody battle, Xiang Cang and others have reached the end of the crossbow. If it hadn't been for Wang Junqing, they would have been difficult for them to escape.

After listening to his narrative, Wang Junqing also frowned tightly: "I think the army should already know where we are, but it will take some time to come. I don't know if the besieged Xizhou army there can still hold on?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. We have been attacked by the enemy since last night. We have been bloody battles for half a night, and our strength is not as good as the other side. Now I have taken away the most elite people... I'm afraid that if there are no reinforcements, my Xizhou army will be destroyed!" Xiang Cang said this with a miserable face: "It's my fault. As the governor of an army, I have caused them to suffer such a devastating disaster. I really have no face to go back to Xizhou!" General Wang, my brothers have been entrusted to you. I have to go back and live and die with my brothers there!" With that, he turned his horse's head and was about to go back.

Unexpectedly, he was pulled by Wang Junqing: "Is Xiang Dudu going to die like this? You look down on me so much! As a military general, even in such a situation, you should think about how to help your brothers survive, not die with them!"

"I... I naturally know this truth, but now I don't know how far the army is from here. I don't know when they will come. I'm afraid my brothers can't wait... Is there any other way to save them now? There can't be a miracle... I killed it to remind the general. Now that I have met you, the task of reminding the general is left to you. I'm going to go with my brother!" Xiang Cang said that he would push Wang Junqing away.

The soldiers around them didn't know what to do when they saw it. They finally escaped from the enemy's pursuit and really didn't want to die, but if the governor wanted to go back, they naturally did not want to survive, so many people also turned the horse's head like Xiang Cang. As long as he moved, they would follow him. Go back together.

"No, I think we still have a way!" Seeing that everyone was going back to die, Wang Junqing also became anxious. In a hurry, he really thought of a solution: "We can take a risk to try, maybe we can drive the enemy away!"

"Are you telling the truth?" Xiang Cang asked in disbelief.

"I dare not make any assurance, but I don't want to see the Xizhou Army collapse like this, so I have to take a risk!" Wang Junqing said and commanded his men: "Mao Shun, take 30 people to cut down the surrounding trees and tie them behind the horse..."

Listening to Wang Junqing's one-to-one arrangements, Xiang Cang soon have his intention tomorrow: "Are you trying to use the tactics of the suspects to create our powerful illusion and make the barbarians afraid to escape?"

"Yes, there are only a few hundred of us now, and you are all injured. This is the best way!" Wang Junqing nodded: "And the barbarians are less intelligent, and they have always been afraid of our Song Jun. Doing so may serve as a threat! However, the key to this strategy is to make them not be able to guess our troops, so you must not act rashly and only listen to what I want.

"Okay, this time I will follow your orders, as long as I can save my brothers from the trap!"

At the mountain pass, the barbarian's attack on the Song army is still continuing. The Song army has less than 4,000 left, but it still sticks to its position under the command of Ruan Yong. Fortunately, the arrows brought by the barbarians have been exhausted, and they can only be attacked in batches, so that the defense array of the Song army can exert its greatest power.

However, after such a long fight, the soldiers' physical fitness has reached the limit. Now there is only one instinct to support them, but they don't know how long they can support them.

"Kill!" Under the loud shouts of the soldiers, the Song army burst into strength again, killing the barbarians who had been killed again, and hundreds more corpses of both sides fell on the ground. After the barbarian's attack was retreated, they also retreated, waiting for the beginning of the next attack.

Mu Jerry looked at Song Jun, who was surrounded and could no longer escape, and there was some respect in his eyes: "It seems that although Song Jun is not as strong as we think, he is not as weak as you said."

"King, this is what they have been forced to have no way out. Otherwise, they would have retreated long ago!" Li Be was busy and said with a flattering smile, "And we attack so many times in order to annihilate them all at the lowest cost. The plan of the king will soon be achieved."

"Hey, yeah, they will all die here before dark. It's just that the Song cavalry who broke out don't know what's going on. Can our people stop them? Mu Jerry said with some reassurance, and suddenly he saw someone running behind him, who was the good hands in the barbarians he sent to deal with Xiang Cang. These people were all a little embarrassed, which made him even more uneasy: "Why, you let them escape?"

"King, the reinforcements of the State of Song have arrived. When we chased them more than ten miles away, someone attacked us from both sides, and many warriors fell under their arrows. It's Song Jun, and it's their backup..." The leaders of those people hurriedly defended. In fact, he did not see clearly how many people the Song army killed from the company, but at this time, in order not to be punished, he had to talk about the number of Song troops.

"What?" Mu Jerry was shocked: "How can Song Jun come here so soon? It has deviated dozens of miles away from their official road." While talking, he heard someone behind him scream. He hurriedly turned around and saw the dust flying outside the mountain pass, and there were more shouts of killing from afar, which also confirmed the words of these people. The reinforcements of the Song army really arrived.

Looking at the thousands of remnants of the Song army that were about to be annihilated by him, and then looking at the barbarians after nearly five hours of hard fighting, Mujeli quickly made a choice. He knew that at this time, they could not fight with the main force of the Song army in their state. Even if they wanted to fight, they could not be in such a col, but should be led to the depths of the mountains and forests with the help of local interests. So he immediately ordered the barbarian army to withdraw from the mountain road on the other side. Although he failed to annihilate the whole army in Xizhou this time, it had also dealt a heavy blow to them!

The Western Army also saw the situation there, which made the soldiers who had fallen into despair have the courage to fight again. Seeing that the barbarians wanted to leave, they immediately formed a formation to kill them. However, because they have reached the end of the crossbow, even if they want to kill the enemy, they can't catch up with the pace of the other party. In the end, they can only watch them retreat into the mountains and forests.

And what surprised them was that half a day later, a group of cavalry rushed to the entrance of the mountain pass, and it was Xiang Cang first...
