When people of later generations look at wars, they always think that the development of a certain war is the result of the general's hard thinking and calculation day and night. In fact, this is completely wrong.
Once any war begins, generals and commanders at all levels must respond to changes and make decisions in the shortest possible time. How can there be room for slow deliberation?
Being able to make quick decisions without hesitation is an essential skill for an outstanding general. Without this, he will not be able to adapt to the ever-changing battlefield with its myriad developments.
Just like the current situation, when Qiu Huiluo saw the coming of the red coat army, he knew that he could not stop it. He immediately waved his sword and ordered: "Disperse! Open the way! Don't block it!"
When everyone dispersed to both sides, he ordered more pine torches to be lit. Everyone shouted, maybe Guo Jiedu's troops had already set off from Zhucheng and were about to arrive at the battlefield, or General Li's main force was in the west.
They lined up to intercept, or in other words, all the roads and bridges further west were cut off. The fourth lady, Yang Miaozhen, could not see the enemy, and she knelt down and begged to surrender.
All kinds of rumors are very absurd, but since the Red Coat Army retreated in frustration, how can they tell the truth in detail?
On the short road, the generals of the Red Coat Army shouted orders repeatedly, but they could not stop the soldiers from running faster and faster, the queue became more and more chaotic, and some people even broke away from the team and ran into the wilderness.
Then the sounds of Li Ting and Gao Xin's cavalry galloping and shouting for kill were getting closer and closer, and they seemed to be in a posture to turn defeat into victory.
Qiu Huiluo was very happy and said to his left and right: "Tell the brothers to keep shouting."
After saying that, he took a dozen soldiers and turned back near the road.
At this time, they were all still wearing the uniforms of the red coat army, which they had previously prepared to capture the city.
Everyone in Ding Haijun was very enthusiastic and courageous. In order to rescue Li Ting, Qiu Huiluo had to turn back from the gate of Zhucheng and gave up the chance to seize the city. Now that the situation was favorable, he couldn't help but think:
"The Red Coat Army has lost two battles in a row, and its morale is getting more and more panicked. Perhaps, we can follow Yang Miaozhen's troops into the city and see if we can cooperate inside and outside."
With this intention in mind, he slowly approached the road, stood in the grass, and looked at the groups of red-coated soldiers who were hurriedly retreating, trying to pick out a few lone or particularly flustered red-coated soldiers. Once a suitable target was found,
, he would come close to say hello, and then say a few words, until he became familiar with the face, so he could use it as a cover.
Unexpectedly, just when he reached the roadside, there was a loud sound of hooves, and a cavalry rushed towards him from the thick fog.
An old knight at the head shouted loudly and asked: "Which general are you subordinate to? How is the situation over there in Zhucheng?"
A soldier next to Qiu Huiluo shouted in a slur, and immediately responded: "Zhucheng has been lost! The Ding navy brigade is coming from the city! The fourth lady Yang Miaozhen's troops have been completely routed! Everyone, run away!"
ah!"
Qiu Hui and Luo Li knew that this string of words was not good.
Previously, there was no harm in talking nonsense in the dark on both sides of the road. Now the two sides were standing face to face, and the cavalry commander on the opposite side shouted, "Is this what you said? You are just a pawn, what kind of identity do you know this?"
Seeing his own side's great victory, he became dizzy! He treated the enemy as a fool!
"Quickly leave!" Qiu Huiluo suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the soldier's shoulder and pulled him back.
But the red-coated veteran who asked the question was already very angry and laughed: "It turns out that you are just talking nonsense and ruining the morale of our army!"
Immediately, the cavalry rushed forward one after another. In the dark night, there was chaos on the side of the road, with dozens of people killing each other.
When Qiu Huiluo's personal commander, Nian Ba'en, who was from the Yi Army, saw the enemy cavalry approaching instantly, he held a spear in one hand and threw it at the charging enemy.
The red-coated knight had no time to evade, so he threw away his long knife and grabbed the gun shaft with both hands. In the end, he grabbed the blade with both hands. The seven-inch-long blade instantly cut off six of his fingers and then stabbed him in the chest.
, penetrate deeply.
Because the mount was running forward, the man with the spear fell backwards, screaming and falling off the horse.
Almost at the same time, another red-coated knight rushed out from the side and cut off Nianbaun's stretched out arm with a knife. Nianbaun grabbed the wound of the broken arm with his backhand and staggered back, but failed to pay attention.
The scene next to him: Another cavalryman knocked him down with his horse, and the horse's hoof trampled through his chest and abdomen, instantly killing him.
The horse that trampled Nian Ba'en immediately fell to the ground and neighed. It turned out that Qiu Huiluo had dazzled him with a pine torch. As the horse was riding, the knight had been pulled off the ground by Qiu Huiluo.
The knight fell on his back, his eyes flashing with stars, and his upper and lower rows of teeth almost bit off his tongue. He opened his mouth and spat out blood.
Unexpectedly, he didn't let go of the long knife, but turned back to stab Qiu Huiluo in the neck.
In order to hang out with the soldiers in red coats, Qiu Huiluo had previously dressed up as a broken soldier and specially removed his armor. If he was stabbed this time, he would die immediately.
In an instant, he didn't even bother to pick up the weapon, and smashed the knight's face with the end of the torch. After two or three blows, the knight's eyes were poked and burst into tears, the bridge of his nose was broken, and all his teeth were blown out.
, the torch as thick as a child's arm penetrated from his wide-open mouth into his throat.
Qiu Huiluo's own face was burned by the flames, his eyebrows were burned bald, and he had several big blisters, not to mention that the world was spinning in front of his eyes.
Just as he was about to stand up on the ground, the furious veteran rushed over, drew his gun and stabbed him.
Before Qiu Huiluo could react, the soldier who had said the wrong thing ran back from behind and pushed his general to the side. When Qiu Huiluo fell to the ground, the spear in the veteran's hand entered the soldier's chest from the front, and immediately
It penetrated the back, and then hit the ground behind him with a pop.
The soldiers howled miserably and reached out to grab the reins of the veteran's horse.
The veteran turned his hand to draw his gun and stab him again. Qiu Huiluo took off an iron bone flower from his back and smashed it on the neck of his horse with its head covering his face.
Qiu Huiluo's martial arts was very outstanding, and Guo Ning had learned the use of Tieguduo from him back then. When it fell, there were two muffled pops, the horse's neck and spine were broken, and the horse's head sank.
The veteran tried his best to lift the reins, but the men fell forward along with the horses.
He rolled on the ground twice, and Qiu Huiluo caught up with him in a big stride, and beat him with his Iron Bone Flower.
Just as he was about to take the veteran's life, several more cavalry arrived behind him.
The leading knight danced wildly with his spear and stabbed wildly, instantly cutting a bloody path through the entangled and fighting crowd.
"Uncle, uncle, get on the horse quickly!"
The knight's voice was very sharp. She swept across with her gun, forcing Qiu Huiluo to take two steps back, and then several people gathered around him, helped the veteran onto his horse, and sped off.
The sound of hoofbeats rumbled several times, and the cavalry broke through the thick fog and disappeared into the night again.
Only then did Qiu Huiluo realize that this veteran must be Liu Quan, a veteran of the Red Coat Army, and that the knight with a gun who had just rushed towards him was Yang Miaozhen.
It's a pity that we don't have enough troops around us... If we catch these two people here, wouldn't it be a great achievement in capturing the thief and the king?
It's too bad that this battle is only one step away from victory!
Qiu Huiluo sighed, and when he was about to give some instructions to his companions, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck.
He subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, only to find his hand full of warm blood. There was more blood seeping out from the gaps between his fingers.
It was the enemy I killed just now with a torch! Did his knife actually stab me?
Qiu Huiluo screamed and touched the injured area with his hand. The touch of his fingertips told him that a blade should be broken at the connection between the shoulder blade and the neck. When he was about to pull out the blade, a soldier rushed forward and hugged him.
Zhuqiu Huiluo's arm: "Can't pull it out! Can't pull it out!"
God knows what key point this blade struck? If the blade is pulled out and a large blood vessel ruptures, death will follow immediately!
Qiu Huiluo was dizzy at this time and could no longer hold on. Although the sky was dark in front of him, his field of vision was even darker. He felt that no one could be seen in front of him, and he couldn't see his fingers.
He tried his best to cheer up and whispered: "I'm fine! You guys go tell Li Erlang that the cavalry alone can't do it! We have to bring up the infantry at the back, slowly..."
At this point, his breathing became short and he fell into a daze. After a while, he vaguely heard the anxious and angry voices of Li Ting and Gao Xin, and he quickly opened his mouth. But he soon lost the strength to open his mouth, and his head tilted
