The Wife is First - 52Chapter 52 Shengjingguan
After hearing these words, Jing Shao’s original worried expression gradually turned into a silly smile, and he hugged the person into his arms: “It’s hard to say, who asked me to divorce you in the first place?” Now he can’t bear it? But I didn’t dare to say the last sentence.
“If you divorce me, I can marry you into the Marquis’ Mansion as my wife.” Mu Hanzhang patted Jing Shao on the head with the feather fan in his hand.
“Well, that’s not bad.” Jing Shao leaned over to kiss him.
“It’s a beautiful idea, I won’t marry you,” Mu Hanzhang avoided his kiss and stood up, “There are so many people eating and you are lazy, what can you do if you marry me back?” After saying that, he picked up the little tiger at his feet and said, He turned around and walked out coolly.
Jing Shao was stunned for a long time, it was really outrageous! How dare you say that your husband “eats too much and is lazy”! So, he raised his feet and chased out, ready to “teach” his princess how to respect her husband. Unexpectedly, just after chasing a few steps, she met the left and right guards who came to discuss the camp. She had to suppress the smile on her face and look serious. The land returned to the middle tent.
After Zhao Meng led the army to Shengjing Pass, Jing Shao ordered the Shu army to stand by and wait for news from Huya Pass at any time. He took the remaining 20,000 people and food, grass and equipment to Shengjing Pass, and arrived thirty miles away from the gate. stationed.
Shengjingguan is located in the mountains. There are high mountains on both sides of the road. The road is narrow and the slope is steep. A high wall is erected at the narrowest point of the two mountains. The thick green brick wall is ten feet high, with countless arrow holes on it, and you can vaguely see the crowds of people on it. The heavy wooden door was tightly closed and huddled deep under the door opening. The setting sun could barely shine into the door opening, and only one or two rivets occasionally shone with cold light.
It was getting late, so Zhao Meng planned to camp for a while and then knock on the door again tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he had just hit the horse’s hoof, and the door opened by itself. The cavalry in the front row immediately tightened their spears, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out.
“General, be careful of fraud.” The young general beside him warned in a low voice.
Zhao Meng frowned, took out the first kit from his arms and threw it to the young general: “Read it.”
The young general hurriedly took out the letter paper from his kit, and there were only eight words written on it: “There are deceptions in empty houses, don’t chase after poor criminals.”
The young general’s voice was very loud, and the surrounding generals and lieutenants all heard it clearly, and they couldn’t help but marveled in surprise. The military advisor really had a clever plan!
Zhao Meng snorted coldly and shouted at the city gate: “The thieves from the southwest are really as cowardly as a mouse! Hearing that the army was coming, they must have been frightened and opened the door to greet them!”
“Hahahaha…” The soldiers behind him echoed, shouting loudly: “The thieves from the southwest are as cowardly as rats!”
“Set up camp!” When everyone had laughed enough, Zhao Meng waved his hand and gave the order loudly.
Before the handyman battalion behind them could move out of their tents, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the door.
Zhao Meng saw that the person who came out was not a general, so he said to everyone: “Who is going to fight?”
“The young general is willing to go!” The young general who had just read the plan took out his gun, clamped the horse’s belly and rushed forward.
The opponent’s general also sped up, and the two horses galloped like the wind. With a “Dang!” sound, the silver spear and the steel whip collided in the air. For a moment, fire flew everywhere, but because the horses were too fast, they only touched each other once. Then they missed it, and the two quickly turned their horses around and charged again. The general sent by the Southwest Army was not very good at martial arts, and was suppressed by the young general shortly after.
“Kill!” Zhao Meng raised his hand and shouted. The cavalrymen who had long been unable to hold back rushed forward one after another. The shouts of killing were loud and loud. The Southwest Army over there also came forward to kill. Because the road was narrow, those who could rush forward could not There were not many soldiers. Looking down from the city tower, I saw a dark army forming a long dragon between the two mountains. The dragon’s tail remained motionless and only its head stretched slightly.
The Southwest Army did not fight for long before they began to flee back. Zhao Meng then discovered that they had been less than ten feet away from the high wall after leaving the gate of Shengjingguan. Now they were able to escape easily, as if they had planned it in advance, and he quickly ordered not to pursue them again. .
Before the dust and smoke dissipated, the gate of Shengjingguan was closed again. Zhao Meng looked at the few corpses outside the door, and felt that there was a faint fire in his heart. The Southwest Army hit and ran away, and all the force he had just raised hit the cotton. I just felt uncomfortable all over.
For two consecutive days, the Southwest Army acted like a tease. They sent out a small group of soldiers and horses, teased them, and then ran back quickly. Once or twice was okay, but the more times, not only Zhao Meng was extremely angry, but also the soldiers. Started to feel restless. Being trapped on this narrow mountain road, unable to walk, unable to walk, fighting, not satisfying, it is really frustrating!
“General, no matter what his conspiracy is, we have fifty thousand troops, can’t we still be unable to attack this ten-foot city wall?” Yueqi Xiaowei said angrily.
“Yes, General, what are we waiting for?” shouted the hot-tempered young general.
While he was talking, another group of southwestern troops came out to call for formation. Zhao Meng spat: “Damn it! Fight in for me!” After saying that, he waved the sword in his hand and headed towards the leading general.
The long-handled sword spun half a circle in the air and slashed straight towards the man’s neck. The man blocked with the knife. Zhao Meng was as strong as a mountain and pressed the back of the knife firmly. “Stab!” The blades crossed each other. , making a harsh sound, but it was covered up by the huge shouts of killing and the sound of horse hooves all around. Soon after, the white horse passed by, blood spattered three feet, and Zhao Meng had cut off the general’s head. For a moment, the morale of the army was so high that he couldn’t care less. Zhao Meng waved the long knife in his hand, and blood beads flew out along the blade: “Charge!”
“Kill~” The black soldiers rushed forward. The Southwest Army in khaki uniforms was quickly submerged in the black sea of people. The long dragons turned into thin snakes and rushed in. When the cavalry rushed in, the infantry had not yet followed. , with a “bang”, the originally open Shengjingguan gate suddenly closed, and the infantry who were unable to follow the general’s footsteps were locked ten feet away, and then arrows rained down from the tower.
The infantry without armor had no power to fight back against the arrows. The infantry captain who stayed outside the pass saw that the situation was not right and quickly ordered a retreat.
Zhao Meng, who was imprisoned in the pass, realized something was wrong before he could rush out a few steps. It was too late to come back to his senses. There was silence for a moment, and a shrill crow echoed in the mountains. Waiting for him was the chief of the pass. There were heavy troops on the long mountain road.
“Report~” Jing Shao, who was drinking tea with the military advisor, suddenly heard a long announcement. The messenger jumped off his horse, rushed into the middle tent, and knelt down in front of Jing Shao with a plop: “Commander, General Zhao and the cavalry Trapped in the Shengjing Pass, unable to escape, the infantry remained outside the pass and was besieged by arrows!”
“You bastard!” Jing Shao heard this, raised his hand and threw the cup, and told him not to underestimate the enemy. This Zhao Meng lost his chain as soon as he went out. He quickly called the generals in the camp and ordered two hundred cavalry to rush in front of the camp. On call.
Jing Shao quickly put on the silver armor, put the sword on his waist, picked up the spear and walked out.
“Little spoon!” Mu Hanzhang called out urgently. When Jing Shao turned around, he stretched out his hand to fasten his helmet, “Be careful!”
“You sit in the camp and wait for me to come back.” Jing Shao turned his head and kissed him on the cheek, turned around and opened the curtain. The general should be sitting in the camp, but now that there are no generals available, he must go.
Mu Hanzhang followed him out, Jing Shao had already climbed onto his horse, Xiao Hei raised his hooves and neighed, leading two hundred cavalrymen away.
The silver armor and the black horse together, like a silver lightning, split open the long black line of infantry.
“How is the situation?” Jing Shao asked the infantry colonel standing at the front immediately.
“General Zhao has been inside for half a day. The shouts of killing were loud, but now there is no movement.” The infantry captain was very worried.
Jing Shao frowned and looked at the high wall in front of him. When he attacked Shengjing Pass, the king of Southwest used this trick to catch turtles in the jar. This time he did not let Zhao Meng take away all the cavalry, just because he was afraid that he would fall into the same trick as before. At that time, I had no cavalry and could not rush to rescue him, so I had to take the risk and take a shortcut to rescue him at Huya Pass. Now Hao Dashao went to break the tiger’s teeth and crane’s beak first, and Zhao Meng delayed it for another two days, so he should be able to catch up.
“General, I am truly lucky to see His Highness King Cheng today!” On the city tower, a general wearing brass scales said loudly, “Your Highness’s general has been besieged by us and will be captured in an hour or three. Your Highness As long as we retreat…”
“Bow and arrows!” Jing Shao looked at the man talking to himself on the tower with cold eyes, stretched out his hand to take the bow handed over by his subordinate, stringed it, and pulled it into a full moon.
“Whoosh~” The general who was mid-sentence saw King Cheng drawing his bow and quickly hid to one side. The arrow crossed the side of his face and he barely managed to avoid it. Before he could get frightened, the second arrow had already followed, and he was shocked. He had no choice but to squat down in embarrassment.
“Giant tree!” Without giving the people on the city any time to breathe, Jing Shao raised his hand and signaled the giant siege tree to rush upward.
From the high wall, arrows shot out quickly.
“Shield!” Jing Shao waved his hand again, and a group of soldiers holding square iron shields who had been prepared quickly stepped forward, lined up on both sides of the giant tree, raised their iron shields high to protect the people carrying the wood, and marched towards the tree in a unified and unhurried pace. The city gate rushed forward, causing the people on the city to panic immediately. The city gate of Shengjingguan had a fatal problem when it was first established, that is, the gate was too deep. Once it entered the gate, arrows could no longer shoot.
“Boom! Boom!” The sound of collisions was like knocking on the hearts of everyone on the wall, which was frightening. Jing Shao did not attack the door with a giant tree like an ordinary general, while setting up a ladder to step on the wall, but led The cavalry and infantry all retreated, out of the range of the arrows. He had a good time watching the rain of arrows falling in front of him.
“Boom!” The city gate was suddenly knocked open, and the soldiers carrying the giant tree rushed in with a shout, knocking away the Southwest Army who was resisting behind the door.
“Go!” Jing Shao clamped his horse’s belly tightly and rushed out like a sharp arrow. The cavalry behind him also rushed forward. The city gate was broken and could not stop the foot soldiers. The cavalry went first and killed everyone in the way. The soldiers poured into Shengjing Pass like a tide.
“Report~” The soldiers who were patrolling nearby galloped over on horseback and rushed into the middle tent. “Report to the military advisor, there are thousands of troops rushing towards the camp, and they are already less than ten miles away!”
“What!” The right guard who was teasing the little tiger heard this and stood up. All the elite troops were transferred out. Now there are less than 20,000 people left in the camp, 20% of which are handymen, and almost no cavalry. Even if they could kill those thousands of men and horses, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
“Commander, you stay with Xiao Zuo for a while, and you must not leave him even half a step!” The right guard put on his armor and walked out.
