Chapter 47
Don’t chase the poor bandits
The Wei soldiers on the sentry tower finally reacted and shouted hurriedly, but by this time it was too late. There was a killing sound in the entire Wei army camp. Pei soldiers were like wolves in a sheep pile. Anyone who organized to resist
The Wei army was all wiped out by a large number of soldiers.
As for the sleeping Wei soldiers, many of them had no time to put on their armor and weapons, so they rushed out of their tents because their tents were already on fire. Most of them ignored the troops and began to fight the flames after rushing out of the tents.
The entire Wei army was in chaos, like ants on a hot pot, unable to organize an effective counterattack. Zhou Shi was also holding weapons and was not wearing any armor. He opened the camp tent and saw the heavy losses of his soldiers.
There was a trace of regret in his heart, and he secretly said that the Wei army would not be able to capture Pei County this time, and whether they could return to Wei alive was worrying.
He immediately got on his horse, raised his sword and shouted: "No chaos, all the soldiers are gathering towards me, the shield soldiers are in front, the archers are firing arrows behind, and the spear soldiers are preparing to break out."
After all, Zhou Shi is the general of the Wei army and has a high prestige in the army. After hearing his orders, the originally chaotic and unorganized Wei soldiers began to slowly move closer to him, and then followed the orders and cooperated with each other. At this time, the entire army
Only then did the Wei army stand firm.
"General, what should we do now?" Zhou Shi, who was fighting the enemy fiercely, heard the general beside him ask. The latter kicked away the attacking Pei soldiers and shouted: "Break through -, withdraw from Pei County
——”
The soldiers received the order, so under the leadership of Zhou Shi, they began to desperately break through the encirclement of the Pei army. After the sneak attack of more than 2,000 Wei soldiers, more than 1,500 people gathered together. These soldiers passed by just now
The fight was no longer panicful at this time, each one was finally aroused to their blood, and the two soldiers fought head-on.
"kill--"
"Rush—, rush out—"
In the fierce battle between the two sides, Zhou Shi cleared the way and fought at the forefront of the Wei army. However, generals such as Cao Shen and Zhou Bo did not give in. In the sea of fire, both sides either died or I died. The Wei army wanted to break out and survive, and the Pei army was eager to
After killing the enemy and achieving meritorious service, the soldiers on both sides were furious.
"Soldiers of Wei, charge with me, charge out -" Zhou Shi shouted again, and then the Wei army behind him followed him. These people were like wild horses, violently attacking the Pei army's formation.
After a fierce battle, the Wei army, led by Zhou Shi, finally tore through the encirclement of the Pei army and escaped from the barracks. Zhou Shi turned around and glanced at the Peixian city tower. He clenched the weapon in his hand bitterly and said, "Yang Lin."
, let’s wait and see.”
Then he led a thousand people who broke out of the encirclement and left in a hurry.
"Ho--, ho--" Seeing the Wei army's defeat, Pei's soldiers shouted loudly and raised their weapons in excitement.
"Marquis Cao Jun, do you want to continue the pursuit?" Yong Chi licked his tongue, showing a ferocious expression.
Cao Shen was also excited. He defeated Zhou Shi in one fell swoop in this battle, which made him feel heroic. Then he waved his hand and said: "Order the whole army to continue the pursuit. The soldiers of Wei Army are vulnerable. This time our army will definitely capture Zhou Shi's child and hand it over to the lord."
"
"Absolutely not!" Zhou Bo hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him anxiously. He wiped the enemy's blood on his face and said hastily: "Marquis Cao, when the lord came, he warned us not to be impulsive. At this time, Zhou Shi retreated and fled.
, but there are still more than a thousand people, and the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Now our army should clean up the battlefield and return to the city to report the battle situation to the lord."
Cao Shen glanced at the latter and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Bo, the Wei army has been defeated. This is a good opportunity for our army to seize the victory and pursue the pursuit. How can we let it go?" He paused and then said: "In this case, I order you to lead a hundred people here.
Clean up the battlefield. The other generals will follow my orders and quickly follow me to pursue Zhou Shi'er. We will capture him tonight."
"No!" All the generals glowed with excitement after hearing the order. Capturing Zhou Shi was a great achievement. Who wouldn't want to take credit for this?
Watching Cao Shen lead the troops in pursuit, Zhou Bo sighed, knowing that he could not stop Cao Shen, so he immediately rode back to Pei County.
"Report——, General, Pei's army is chasing after you." Zhou Shi, who was fleeing at full speed, frowned when he heard the situation reported by the messenger.
Then, he stopped his horse, smiled coldly, and said, "It seems that Yang Lin wants to kill me."
"General--" the general beside him shouted anxiously, "Yang Lin's common man has gone too far to bully others."
"Leave immediately and flee from Pei County's boundaries as quickly as possible. I don't think Yang Lin dares to pursue him too deep." Zhou Shi urged the horses again and ordered the people beside him, "March at full speed!"
After hearing the order, the Wei army fled faster than before. In this way, Cao Shen, who was behind him, also accelerated the march, and both sides were competing for their foot strength.
In Peixian County, after hearing Zhou Bo's report, Yang Lin smacked the table gloomily and shouted angrily: "Don't you know that Cao Shen should not pursue poor enemies? Zhou Bo, quickly bring my sword and chase Cao Shen."
Return."
Zhou Bo hurriedly took the sword from Yang Lin respectfully. He did not dare to delay, and immediately rode his horse and led people to chase after him after leaving the county government office.
"Reporting to the army, there is a dense forest ahead. Will our army continue to pursue?" the scout came forward to report.
Cao Shen did not think much at this time, and immediately gave the order: "The whole army pursues!" As the order came out, the entire Pei army hurriedly pursued into the dense forest.
Because the clouds cover the moon tonight and the weather is gloomy, the forest is pitch dark. Only the sound of the Pei soldiers and horses marching can be heard in the forest. Cao Jian couldn't catch up with the market for a long time, and he was very anxious. He couldn't move forward.
They are about to leave Peixian County, and if they continue to pursue the enemy at that time, they are likely to be attacked by the Qin army in other counties.
"kill--"
However, at this moment, there were sudden sounds of killing in the dense forest, and immediately behind the Pei army, they heard the sound of close combat and the screams of men and horses. Cao Shen was startled, and immediately stopped his horse and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?
Why are there killing sounds?"
"Report——" A soldier ran hard from the rear and reported anxiously: "The military marquis is in trouble. The Wei army attacked us from behind."
"What?" Cao Shen heard this and hurriedly turned around. Although he felt a thousand waves in his heart, and even felt a trace of regret, secretly saying that he was careless, but before he could think about it, the Wei army attacked from behind, and the Pei army in the rear was attacked.
Caught off guard, he panicked. He immediately drew his sword and ordered: "Attack the whole army, follow me and kill -"
Yong Chi and other generals also reacted and immediately followed Cao Shen and led his troops back to kill him.
"Haha... Yang Lin, this dense forest will be your burial place today." Wei Junzhong Zhoushi was in a good mood. He was originally frustrated and angry when he was defeated and fled. However, what he didn't expect was that Pei Jun actually
They pursued them closely. When they fled here and saw the dense forest, Zhou Shi had a plan in mind, so he set up an ambush and waited for Pei's army to enter the forest, and then launched an attack.
The dark dense forest, the sounds of killing, and screams were mixed in the woods, and the two sides fought another fierce battle.
Outside the dense forest, Zhou Bo, who was leading his troops, heard the fierce fighting in the forest and immediately ordered his soldiers to speed up. At the same time, he was extremely worried and secretly thought that something must be wrong with Cao Shen, otherwise the losses in this battle would be great.
Zhou Shi, who was fighting fiercely in the forest, heard the soldiers report that hundreds of Pei troops were rushing into the rear. He looked at the scattered Pei troops in front, and then gritted his teeth and ordered with great reluctance: "The whole army retreats."
After the Wei army killed hundreds of people, they quickly evacuated under the cover of the night and the dense forest. Cao Shen had no intention of pursuing him anymore. This time, he was careless. Looking at the corpse of Pei Jun in the forest, he was stunned.
He was lost in thought, and then punched the tree trunk next to him, feeling full of regret in his heart.
Zhou Bo had also arrived at this time. Seeing Cao Shen's expression and the corpse of Pei Jun on the ground, he sighed helplessly, then raised Yang Lin's sword and said: "My lord has an order, and ordered me to bring his sword to recall all the sergeants."
.Marquis Cao Jun, please return to the city first, my lord is still waiting at the county office."
Cao Shen nodded melancholy and said in a deep voice: "The whole army returns to the city!"
After hearing such a lonely order, Yong Chi and others were not in a better mood. The pursuit of victory gave the Wei army a chance to counterattack. The entire army returned quietly as if they had lost a battle. As for the body of Pei Jun, Zhou Bo also
He was ordered to carry it back and give it a rich burial.
At dawn, the troops returned to Pei County. Cao Shen and his generals rushed to the county government office. When they saw Yang Lin, Cao Shen knelt down on the ground in shame and apologized: "Please punish me, my lord -"
Yang Lin's face turned gloomy, he looked at the generals, and said to Cao Shen: "Don't chase poor bandits, and don't enter when you encounter Lin?"
"My lord, it was Cao Shen who was eager for quick success and wanted to capture Zhou Shi, so he was ambushed by the latter. Cao Shen is willing to be punished." Cao Shen looked up at Yang Lin and said with a smile. Obviously, he was ready to take responsibility.
preparation.
"Lord, we are willing to be punished together!" Yong Chi and others also came out one after another, "In this battle, I cannot trust my lord."
Yang Lin sat on the couch and was silent for a moment. The entire lobby became quiet. No one dared to make a sound, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Taigong Lu, who was in the hall, thought for a while, and finally stood up and broke the silence. He saluted respectfully and said: "My lord, our army defeated the Wei army in this night attack. Cao Junhou and others contributed a lot. Although they committed crimes later.
It is my fault that I was attacked in pursuit, but I hope that my lord will take credit for his merits and receive a lighter sentence."
Yang Lin stood up at this time, and everyone's hearts became nervous. He said in a deep voice: "Rewards will be given for merit, and punishment will be given for demerits. Our Pei army must have strict military discipline. Order Cao Shen to take fifty responsibilities with the staff, and the rest of the generals
Twenty rods. Rewards will be discussed later. Can you remember your mistakes today?"
All the generals took the order one after another, "Lord, we know we made a mistake and we will never do it again next time."
"Yes. Everyone, please retreat." Yang Lin waved his hand and said slightly tiredly, "Cao Shen, the soldiers who died in the battle have been well arranged."
