Chapter 39 Blood and Fire III

An unkind request?

Anyone who dares to touch Feng Xiangjun has this problem. Xu Xian replied simply: "Since it is an unkind request, Commander Wang should not mention it."

Wang Jianxiong's first reaction when he heard this was that this person was not from the army. Any team in the army who encountered such a thing would have to pat their chests and agree without hesitation. No matter whether it could be done or not, they should blow off the bullshit first.

.

Seeing Xu Xian thumping down the slope, Wang Jianxiong hurriedly chased after him, "Stay here, stay here, can you wait until Wang finishes speaking before leaving?"

"Commander Wang, just tell the truth. Don't ask hundreds of people like Xu to help you guard Huanghua Valley."

Wang Jianxiong really thought so at first, but considering that the other party was an angel guard and had an imperial mandate, he was afraid that he would not be able to help him, so Wang Jianxiong retreated.

"This Huanghua Valley is not only a food route for the army, but also a retreat for the army. Since the Shu army has taken note of it, they will not give up easily and will definitely come back again.

My thousand men are not enough to guard the two-mile-long valley. Dian Zhi has the emperor's mandate, so I dare not ask Dian Zhi to stay and help. Just now I saw that the crossbow in Dian Zhi's hand is very sharp. I wonder if I can lend it to him.

One use.”

Just kidding, what these military men said was actually a loan, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin wouldn't have to owe him so much money.

Furthermore, this small divine arm crossbow is actually considered a military secret. The first thing that later Song armies did in a crisis situation was to destroy the divine arm crossbow in their hands to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.

Xu Xian is even more strict here. Each crossbow is engraved with a number, and is usually guarded by a dedicated person. It will only be taken out for training and use.

Chai Rong knew the sharpness of the divine arm crossbow, and he agreed very much with Xu Xian's management methods. He also used punishment to restrain him, and those who violated the regulations would be punished by leaking military aircraft.

"To be honest with you, Commander Wang, this crossbow of mine is a sharp weapon newly equipped by the Forbidden Army. So far, there are only more than a thousand of them. If I lend it to you, you will be in violation of the law and will be beheaded. Instead of borrowing the crossbow from me, why don't you teach me to help you guard it?"

Yellow Flower Valley is more likely.”

"Seriously! I have already asked people to go to the camp to ask for reinforcements. Reinforcements should arrive in the evening at the latest. You might as well stay here with me for a day. As long as you wait for the reinforcements to arrive, you will be rewarded for your merits.

Just one portion."

Xu Xian was just making an analogy, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously, "The credit goes to the commander Wang and I don't share the credit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a Zhou army scout rushing over from outside the valley mouth, "The king's command is not good. Those turtle boys have reinforcements to support them. Now they are in large numbers in one place, and our brothers have withdrawn."

"

"It's time to withdraw. Guarding the valley is the most important thing! By the way, how many people do they have now?"

The scout reported: "There are almost four thousand people!"

Wang Jianxiong couldn't help but gasped when he heard this, "Four thousand people! They are here now!"

"They are still reorganizing the defeated troops. It will take at least another hour before they can come over."

"Okay! Tell the brothers to withdraw immediately and divide into two groups to guard one side of the hill... No, all go to the west, the terrain in the west is higher!"

Wang Jianxiong gave a series of orders, then turned to look at Xu Xian, "Xu Dianzhi..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Xian immediately interrupted, "Commander Wang, I wish you success and new achievements. I'll take my leave!"

Xu Xian said as he jumped on his horse and called out: "Brothers, run!"

More than 500 people knocked on the belly of their horses and ran away without a trace. Looking at the billowing smoke and dust in the valley, Wang Jianxiong cursed: "Bullshit Palace Secretary, they are just a bunch of cowards."

When Brother Qianhao came back, there were only 900 of them. Facing 4,000 enemy troops, it was not easy to hold on to the two hilltops even with the geographical advantage, so they all went to the west hillside.

The soldiers of Zhou who had just won a small victory were holding water bags and chewing dry food, or they were leaning in the grass and taking a nap in the autumn wind, quietly waiting for a big battle to come.

They are all tooth soldiers of the Fengxiang Army, the elite of the army. They dare not say that they regard death as home, but they absolutely despise the honor and disgrace of life and death. They are just waiting for Wang Jianxiong's order so that the enemy can fight to the death. No one will surrender until he dies in battle.

About an hour later, rumbling footsteps were heard outside the valley entrance. Zhou's soldiers stood up one after another, and the flags outside the valley were faintly visible.

Several Shu army scouts poked their heads around the valley entrance, then drew back their necks and reported to a young man: "All the 900 Zhou troops in the government office are on the west hillside."

The young man was Li Jin, the son of Li Tinggui. Following Li Tinggui's military order, he led more than two thousand elite Chinese troops to Malingzhai. Within two hours, he received another military order from Li Tinggui and rushed to Huanghua Valley.

When he saw Wang Luan's troops fleeing, he couldn't help but admire his father's ingenious plan. If the imperial court had appointed his father as the commander-in-chief, the war would not have gone to such a wasteful stage.

Before Li Jin asked, inspector Wang Luan couldn't wait to ask: "Are there not two hundred people with red scarves on their arms?"

The scout shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before!"

"Those two hundred people must be hiding behind the valley. They are all holding powerful crossbows and can shoot people to death with just one arrow. You must not be careful in the Yamen!"

Li Jin did not completely believe Wang Luan's words. In his opinion, this was an excuse made up by Wang Luan for his failure. Li Jinye had only seen one such strange man, Chen Sanshun, who walked over mountains and ridges as if he were walking on the plains.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to find even with a lantern.

Li Jin snorted coldly: "Send five hundred elite soldiers first, let me see if the Zhou army really has three heads and six arms."

Wang Jianxiong was already prepared. Hearing the sound of neat footsteps outside the valley entrance, he became even more energetic. He saw hundreds of sword and shield soldiers slowly coming in neat steps, and using dodges from time to time.

The bright steel sword struck the shield to encourage himself.

But Wang Jianxiong laughed secretly. As the saying goes, an inch long is an inch strong. Sword and shield soldiers have no advantage against spear soldiers. What's more, the opponent's shield is neither wood nor iron. It looks like it is made of rattan.

From far away, you can see the gaps through which the light shines, and I am afraid that an arrow could scatter it.

Wang Jianxiong immediately ordered: "Fire the arrow!"

Immediately there was a round of arrows flying down the hillside, and the Shu soldiers immediately swung their light rattan shields in a small area to block the locust-like arrows.

The rattan shield did not fall apart as Wang Jianxiong expected, and most of the arrows shot on it were bounced off and fell to the ground. Except for one Shu soldier who was shot in the foot in a hail of arrows, no one else was injured.

Wang Jianxiong was inevitably a little panicked. Seeing the Shu army getting closer and closer, he ordered the soldiers with guns to pick them off. Only halfway through his words, he heard someone behind him say: "Tell the brothers to fight hard now, what will you do later?"

manage."
