"Invite me to discuss important matters. It seems that A Tuo is going to take action against Qi Jun."
Tu Sui stood on the chariot, holding Che Shi's hand, and, escorted by many bodyguards and cavalry, galloped towards the Qin army's camp ten miles away from Puyang City.
Feeling the autumn wind blowing in front of him, Tu Sui's heart drifted to the battle that was about to begin.
"A Tuo is a very clever boy. He first pretended to fall from his horse to show weakness to the enemy, and then sent people to submit a letter and send gifts to paralyze the hearts of the people of Qi. After this set of tactics was completed, hehe, after two days, the people of Qi will
I'm afraid my butt will be pierced by Zhao Tuo."
Tu Sui smiled, but his eyes became a little wandering.
He was over forty years old, his title was You Shu Zhang, and he was appointed as a lieutenant of a county. He was considered to be quite prestigious in the entire Qin State.
But Tu Sui was not happy.
Only the memories of his youth that occasionally appeared in his dreams, the days when he fought on the battlefield with General Meng Ao more than ten years ago, galloping on horseback and beheading enemies, were the most happy and unforgettable memories for Tu Sui.
The entire Dongjun was conquered by him following Meng Ao.
It's just that since Meng Ao died, they, the veteran generals under Meng's command, naturally took a back seat and were appointed to various important military positions. Although they were considered high and powerful, they were always not very satisfactory to Tu Sui.
Tu Sui still has the heart to fight on the battlefield.
"Little Zhao Tuo climbed from the bus to Naigong in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, only the battlefield is the destination of a real man."
"I have no chance to participate in this attack on Chu. When the general destroys Chu and the king wants to destroy Qi again or goes north to destroy the Dai Dynasty, I must take the initiative to ask for a fight, even if I don't do this.
Lieutenant, you have to go to the battlefield again. Even if you die on the battlefield, it is better than living in a mansion all day and letting your armor get lice..."
Just when Tu Sui was making plans for the future, sudden changes occurred in front of him, and there were people shouting, horses neighing, and various exclamations.
Tu Sui suddenly raised his head and saw the dozen or so horses rushing at the front neighing and jumping around, as if they had been hurt. Some of the horses even stood up and knocked over the Qin Army knights on their backs.
dismount.
The cavalry was running very fast, but something went wrong with the knight leading the way. The dozen or so cavalry behind them had no time to react and bumped into him. Suddenly, twenty or thirty people collided and fell into a ball.
"The enemy is attacking, protect the county lieutenant!"
Fortunately, the accompanying short soldiers were all well-trained, and the knights at the rear reacted and quickly reined in their horses and stopped. Tu Sui's charioteer also controlled his four horses to stop in time.
"Caltrops!"
Tu Sui's sharp eyes saw that the road ahead had been sprinkled with caltrops, so the cavalry who opened the way rushed forward and suffered a big loss.
Tribulus.
Not only did the Mohists like to use this thing to defend the city, but there is also a saying in the "Six Tao" of the Art of War: narrow roads and narrow paths, stretched iron caltrops, awns four inches high and eight inches wide.
Although this thing is small, it is convenient and easy to use. It is a powerful weapon against cavalry in this era. As long as it is thrown on the road, the cavalry will be unable to move forward.
"kill!"
"Da Sima Ling, kill Qin General Tu Sui!"
Just at this moment, the grass in the forest on both sides of the road rang out with shouts of killing in the accents of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan. Hundreds of men in civilian clothes jumped out with swords, and went straight to the rear to be attacked by short soldiers.
The guarding lord rushed the chariot away.
"Lieutenant, get on my horse quickly!"
The generals of the short army shouted, asking Tu Sui to get off his horse and get on his horse, so that he could turn around and run back to Puyang.
They escorted Tu Sui from Puyang to the military camp where General Zhao was located. It was only ten miles away, and there were Qin military camps stationed on both sides. Naturally, they did not need many guards, only a hundred people accompanied them.
But I didn't expect that because of the iron caltrops, twenty or thirty knights would lose their combat effectiveness in a moment. In addition, seeing enemies charging and killing them everywhere, I couldn't help but panic.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a hundred people!"
"A group of traitors ran out of nowhere, how can I be afraid of them?"
Tu Sui was so furious that he not only refused to retreat, but instead pulled out the sword from his waist, stood on the car and raised it high, saying: "The second and third sons should get off their horses quickly and kill them all for Nai Gong!"
Seeing the magistrate's arrogance, he not only refused to retreat in the face of the attack, but raised his sword and shouted loudly. All the soldiers were infected, and they all agreed, dismounted, surrounded the general's chariot, and formed a formation to fight.
Of course, there were also some horsemen who immediately turned their horses around under the orders of the short-circuited generals and wanted to rush to the rear of Puyang City for help.
But after running a few steps, he screamed and fell to the ground with both the man and the horse.
It turned out that the assassins had also deployed men and horses on the rear road. When the Qin army's cavalry moved forward, they sprinkled the road with iron caltrops to prevent them from turning around and retreating.
This is a sure-fire trend!
"Da Sima Jun ordered, kill Tu Sui!"
At this time, the civilian assassins all shouted and rushed forward.
They were all hot-blooded warriors selected from the people of the Four Kingdoms. Many of them had participated in a battle in which they attacked and killed the prime minister and then won. They were all brave and warlike.
Although they were surprised that these Qin troops did not panic and flee as planned, they still bravely pounced on them.
The weapons clashed, the swords and halberds were swung, and the soil was immediately stained with blood, and screams could be heard endlessly.
There were about a hundred assassins. In order not to attract the attention of the patrolling Qin army on the way, they all came here in batches wearing civilian clothes and equipped with short swords. After gathering, they carried out the assassination.
According to their plan, they would first use iron caltrops to block the cavalry, and have people from the rear block their return route, and then hundreds of people would charge together to kill them. After the Qin people were attacked, their military morale would definitely be in chaos, and they could take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy and gain victory.
great merit.
Unexpectedly, the Qin general Tu Sui did not panic. Instead of retreating, he calmly commanded and let the remaining dozens of Qin soldiers form a battle formation and cooperate with each other to fight.
In this way, the hundreds of assassins were at a disadvantage. After all, the Qin army had armor, swords and halberds, and they cooperated skillfully with each other, but the assassins had commoner daggers. A single charge and surprise attack did not break the Qin army's formation.
He fell into a hard fight.
Every time the soldiers of the Qin army swung their weapons, assassins would fall down with screams.
"Chen Jun, things have changed. These Qin troops are actually so strong!"
In the forest, Gongsun Xin, who participated in the battle on behalf of the Korean nobles, opened his eyes wide and looked at the bloody battle on the road not far away.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Got it."
Chen Yu's face was calm.
This time the assassination was beyond his expectation. It was more difficult than killing the envoy of Qin and the Prime Minister of Qi before. But it was normal when he thought about it. After all, the people guarding Tu Sui were all elite soldiers of the Qin army. How could it be that easy?
defeated.
Chen Yu has been prepared for a long time.
He approached forward, holding a crossbow that had already been strung in his hand. At the same time, several people beside him also took out their bows and arrows.
A true assassin kills near and far.
"Cum for me!"
…
"What a bullshit great Sima! You dare not show your skills on the battlefield, but you want to assassinate Nai Gong. Nai Gong is determined to follow A Tuo to Zhencheng and stab you in the butt!"
Tu Sui cursed angrily, and his expression suddenly changed.
In an instant, several arrows came from far away.
Several of the arrows hit Tu Sui's armor. Although the arrows penetrated the leather armor and penetrated into the flesh, they were blocked by the armor and did not cause much damage.
Only one arrow came with great force and good accuracy, hitting Tu Sui directly in the cheek.
Just hearing a scream, Tu Sui was hit by an arrow in the door and knelt on the car.
"County Lieutenant!"
All the Qin soldiers were frightened and shouted. Except for a few people who quickly got on the car to protect the county captain, everyone else rushed out bravely to kill them.
Not far away, Gongsun Xin and others applauded.
"Chen Jun is good at shooting! Even if this arrow doesn't kill Tu Sui, it will definitely make it difficult for him to command the army!"
Chen Yu smiled slightly and was about to cock the arrow again when he heard a roar. The sound was vague but full of anger.
"Which one shot you is the male!"
Chen Yu opened his eyes and looked around, his face suddenly filled with shock.
They saw Tu Sui standing up straight again, standing upright on the chariot. His face was bleeding profusely, and a crossbow bolt shot into his face and left cheek.
But Tu Sui had no scruples and actually pulled out the arrow with his hands in public, tearing off the leather and flesh along with it.
His face was ferocious and covered in blood, but his majestic anger could be felt even from a long distance away.
"Nai Gong will chop you down!"
Tu Sui let out an indistinct roar, threw the arrows and meat in his hand onto the chariot, jumped out of the chariot, held a long sword in his hand, and rushed into the battle group.
"County Lieutenant!"
When all the soldiers saw that Tu Sui was hit by an arrow, they not only did not fall, but fought bravely to kill the enemy. They were all furious and full of fighting spirit.
They protected Tu Sui and charged all the way, cutting down nearly half of the attacking assassins. When the remaining assassins saw that the Qin general was hit by an arrow and did not fall down, but instead charged in a rage, they were frightened by his courage and began to flee.
"Walk."
Chen Yu roared low, and when he saw the Qin army soldiers rushing towards them, he knew that they had no chance to kill Tu Sui.
But it doesn't matter. Tu Suimianmen was hit by an arrow. Although he looked heroic at the moment, it was naturally difficult to hold on after his enthusiasm was gone. At least he would not be able to command an army of tens of thousands for a long time.
Zhao Tuo was lame and Tu Sui was hit by an arrow, and the morale of the Qin army was bound to be greatly damaged.
Their assassination goal has been achieved, there is no need to risk their lives here again.
Seeing the assassin escaping, in order to avoid an ambush in the forest, he quickly withdrew his troops to protect the county lieutenant without letting anyone pursue him.
"Jun Lieutenant, this place is close to Puyang. Let's turn around and go back to Puyang first?"
The short-term soldiers looked at the Tujun Lieutenant whose face was stained with blood and had a big hole in his face, with horrified expressions.
"What the hell. Send someone to tell Zhao Tuo that he will destroy the Qi army for Nai Gong and capture the great Sima of Qi. Nai Gong will also shoot an arrow in his face."
Tu Sui said vaguely, unable to hold on any longer, and fell straight to the ground.
