Tan Daoji frowned and looked at Dao Yanzhi, who was standing behind him with a calm expression, and said in a deep voice: "Yanzhi, why did you say this? This is just the result of preliminary investigation. It does not mean that the real situation is like this!"
Zhi Yanzhi said coldly: "Daoji, you have never experienced missing a fighter opportunity, and you have never experienced the regret of missing a chance. But I am different from you. I don't want to miss it again!"
Tan Daoji's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly realized that when Jingkou was founded, Yanzhi had also followed Liu Yi's men to defend Guangling City, together with Wang Zhene, Shen Tianzi and others. Later, Wang Zhen evil secretly sent out troops, and Shen Tianzi led most of the martyrs to attack, and killed at the most critical moment of the Luoluo Bridge battle, turning the tide of the battle, and thus made a great contribution. On the contrary, it was Dao Yanzhi who obeyed the order to defend the city. He was not even included in Jianyi's list, and he simply did not give any explanation to Liu Yu afterwards. As a result, his companions have been promoted to generals one after another over the years, but he is still just a military leader.
Tan Daoji sighed, pulled Yanzhi to the side, and whispered: "Yanzhi, don't come here. This is not the Jingkou of the past. Brother Daogui told us before we came here that we should not move in rashly." , Now there are only about 5,000 Qiang cavalry, and there are 5,000 stragglers led by the traitor Zhu Chaoshi, but tens of thousands of enemy cavalry are missing, do you really think there is no problem?"
Yanzhi said coldly: "So, for fear of an ambush, you let these Jingchu sergeants watch their families, wives and daughters being taken away without asking, right? Are you trying to destroy the reputation of our Beifu Army?" , destroyed in one fell swoop?”
Tan Daoji said in a deep voice: "The enemy only deployed five thousand cavalry and put traitors in the rear. They were obviously trying to lure the enemy. They have stayed here for so many days and could have left long ago, but they had to When we caught up, even this Shashi town was deliberately left until yesterday to rob, do you really think there is no problem?"
Yanzhi curled up his lips and said, "Let's restrain the Beifu army and protect the retreat. Since the Jingzhou sergeants want to fight, let them fight. If you try to persuade them more, Wang Zhenzhi will blame the reason for not fighting." When it comes to you and me, it turns out that our Beifu Army suppresses the Jingzhou people and prevents them from going to war, so that what they hate is not the demon thieves, but us. Is this the result that Brother Daogui wants?!"
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "But the Jingzhou soldiers are our friendly troops anyway, comrades, is it dangerous to just watch them like this?"
To Yanzhi said seriously: "That is also their own choice, just like that Erzhu, he just wants to get his wife back, give him a knife, he will fight alone, you can't stop him , you said that in the battle of Haiyan, the boy named Bao, wasn't it because his subordinates all wanted to avenge the monster thieves and risked their lives, so he went into danger alone? Brother Jinu, can't you tell?"
Tan Daoji frowned: "Then what should we do?"
Dao Yanzhi took a deep breath: "Protect their rear and flanks, and guard their formation. If they are ambushed, at least Wang Sima must be rescued. I will lead 300 elite soldiers to protect Wang Sima. The rest Brother, I leave the command to you, but you must remember to line up the vehicle formation in advance to protect the flanks."
Tan Daoji nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, you can act according to the opportunity. If the bandit army is really unprepared, then you must beat them hard and rescue more people who were plundered. But I still want to remind you, don't rush to pursue them." It would be a waste of time to kill Zhu Chaoshi."
Zhi Yanzhi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Daoji, I will act accordingly."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards Wang Zhenzhi. As he walked, he said: "Wang Sima, we'd better send out troops."
Tan Daoji helplessly looked at the departing figure of Chuo Yanzhi and shook his head gently. He waved his hand and a messenger standing dozens of steps away rushed over. Tan Daoji whispered in his ear: "Hurry up. Go and send smoke to my brother and ask him to come closer to us quickly. I'm afraid we need him to clean up the situation!"
Three hours later, Wulin crossed the border.
Zhu Chaoshi stood in front of the formation, riding a horse and carrying a halberd, while Gou Lin stood side by side with a big axe. Behind them, there were disorderly and noisy cavalry, all exuding stench and The mutton-smelling Qiang Army cavalry, dozens of cavalry, were arranged in small groups in a disorderly manner, while Zhu Chaoshi's subordinates, who were wearing the banner of Tianshi Dao and whose clothes and armor were not uniform in color, were separated from them. There was a gap of more than a hundred steps. The normal infantry and cavalry formations usually have the infantry in the center and the cavalry on the two wings, standing ready. However, this formation has half and half of the infantry and cavalry in each column. It looks so weird.
Opposite them, there were more than three thousand Jin troops, lined up in a formation on the front about five miles wide. Their eyes were full of anger. The archers in the front row had already The bows had been strung, and many sergeants who could not hold themselves back began to shoot at the opponent non-stop. Although these arrows could only reach less than half of the distance between the two armies, they fell to the ground one after another, but it could also reflect Seeing that the other side was eager to fight, dozens of strong men led by Erzhu from Shashiba were now wearing leather armor, holding broadswords in their hands, and even stood in front of the archers. As long as they gave an order, He will rush out and kill people.
Gou Lin smiled and said: "It seems that these Jin troops are still willing to fight, but looking at their equipment and formation, they don't look like the Beifu army you mentioned."
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "Obviously they are just state and county militias from various parts of Jingzhou. They may want to come back to take back the wives and daughters who were kidnapped. Lin Zi, I don't know where the Beifu army is now. They may also be ambushing us and want to sneak attack us. I think, we There is no need to waste time on these motley crews, give them back the women they snatched, and let’s evacuate as soon as possible.”
Gou Lin blinked his eyes: "I think what you said makes sense. Anyway, these women have long been tired of playing with them these days. Someone, come here and send an order to return these women!"
Zhu Chaoshi was shocked. He didn't expect Gou Lin to actually do this. He vaguely felt that there must be some conspiracy, but before he had time to think about it, he only heard the sound of whistles among the Qiang cavalry.
Continuously, accompanied by the sound of at least six or seven different languages, the Qiang cavalry seemed reluctant to move out of a passage. Three to four hundred men were naked, and they could only be said to have strips of cloth hanging all over their bodies.
, the young women who had covered their private parts were driven out like a flock of sheep. They were all crying, and their exposed arms and calves were covered in scars, which showed the hardship they had suffered in the past few days.
Gou Lin laughed loudly and said loudly: "Hey, you Jin people, come and get your women. If you don't want them, I can take them on the road and give birth to babies for us!"
