Chapter 8 The Invincible Division
Five hundred cavalry waving their long swords, shouting and rushed over. When the soldiers of the Dark Knights saw it, they did not shout, but just squeezed the horse's belly hard and rushed over.
The two armies were getting closer and closer, and the Dark Knights were in a triangular arrangement, and the black 100-man team was immediately overwhelmed by the Qingyu City cavalry.
The samurai sword waved and broke the opponent's bronze sword. The back of the knife slapped the opponent's body, smashing red marks. Many people fell off the horse in pain. The cavalry on both sides were intertwined and kept slashing.
The three members of the Dark Knights cooperated in an orderly manner. Relying on the protection of black steel armor, the opponent's bronze sword came over, but instead cut off the sword body by itself. After a while, the number of cavalrymen in Qingyu City was fewer and fewer and fewer soldiers' bronze swords had been cut off.
Gao Feng had half a sword left in his hand, and he was blocking it unwilling to give up. Seeing that they could not beat their opponents with only the back of the knife, their number was getting fewer and fewer, he couldn't help but throw the sword down and sighed: "Forget it, let's admit defeat."
Seeing that the outcome was decided, Zheng Chang had to shout, "Stop, we lost."
The soldiers of the Dark Knights stopped slashing and scabbard, put the samurai sword into the sheath, turned the horse's head and returned to the valley entrance.
There were only many unmanned war horses left on the battlefield, and many soldiers were lying on the ground, most of whom were injured by falling and rubbing their wounds and slowly stood up.
When the soldiers watching the battle saw the Dark Knights return successfully, they raised their weapons and shouted: "Dark Knights, invincible! Dark Knights, invincible!"
Qian Xiaoxing also clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, you did a good job, remember it."
With a team like the Dark Knights, it can be said that the Si Jun has a reassurance. The effect brought by the Si Jun is not tight enough to win the battle, and it also gives other troops a support, because they know that with the Dark Knights, there is no possibility of losing. With them, no matter how fierce the enemy is, there is no need to be afraid, and morale and confidence are unprecedentedly high.
Gao Feng rode his horse and led the troops to slowly ride to the valley entrance. After everyone dismounted, Gao Feng stepped forward and said, "We have three thousand cavalrymen, and we are willing to surrender to the State of Si."
"Okay, disarm and come slowly." Lu Shengzhong said happily.
The cavalry took off their long swords, untied their armor, and left the horses to come one by one.
"Three thousand cavalry, nine thousand infantry," Qian Xiaoxing calculated the number of people, was overjoyed, and said, "If they really defect to us, our army would have more than 30,000 people, which is much faster than conscription."
Lu Shengzhong was also very happy, but was a little worried, and asked, "Seventh brother, do you think they are sincerely submitting to our army? If they pretend to surrender and then wait for an opportunity to bite us back, it will be trouble."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Brother Zhong, you are right. You must be careful. Let's be careful. Let's do this. Let these people stay in Wujiao City for a few days first, and at the same time, send political commissars and brainwash them in various battalions and platoon-level cadres."
As the two were talking, Zheng Chang came over and said to Qian Xiaoxing: "Our army has surrendered. I don't know how you want to arrange for us?"
"I will make some rectifications for you first. You are temporarily stationed in Wujiao City. By the way, how much is your soldier's monthly salary?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.
Zheng Chang replied: "Two taels per month."
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "I will not treat you badly. After you come here, you will receive the same military pay as our soldiers, five taels per month. Moreover, the military organization will be changed to the organization of my independent brigade, and the positions of the regiment battalion and platoon will be set up, and other weapons and equipment will be distributed like our army."
"Really?" Zheng Chang was unhappy with such generous treatment and immediately said: "What kind of knife is there in your hand? It is both hard and sharp. Can you give me one?"
Qian Xiaoxing laughed, took off his sword, and said, "This is a samurai sword. You can hold the sword with both hands and have strong attack power. Since you like it, I will give it to you."
After getting Qian Xiaoxing's samurai sword, Zheng Chang thanked him repeatedly and slowly pulled out his sword body like a treasure. The snow-lit sword body reflected the sunlight and made Zheng Chang's eyes flash. The sharp blade shone with dazzling light, and he couldn't let go of it.
Qian Xiaoxing patted Zheng Chang and said, "As long as you follow me well, I guarantee that everyone can get the samurai sword."
"With such powerful weapons, it would be strange if you don't win." Zheng Chang couldn't help but exclaim.
Qian Xiaoxing laughed. It is true that the bronze sword and the samurai sword are a few levels apart. He said to Zheng Chang: "There are still five thousand soldiers in Qingyu City. Today we will go and take them away."
"Then, I'll accompany you, or I can help you." Zheng Chang is a honest person. Since he has surrendered to Qian Xiaoxing, he will be devoted to him.
"Okay, let's go together." After that, everyone sorted out and prepared to drive to Qingyu City.
In Qingyu City, Sima Chuchu stood at the city gate and looked out. In the distance, under the scorching sun, water vapor evaporated from the yellow land, rising slowly.
It has been a day since Zheng Chang led his troops out. Sima Chuchu already had a bad premonition. Hongshi Valley is only fifteen miles away from Qingyu City. If he had won, he would have been back long ago. He has not come back now. He is probably trapped by Qian Xiaoxing again.
Sima Chuchu has sent several batches of scouts, and finally the first batch has returned. Report: "The 12,000 infantry led by General Zheng Chang has been besieged by the Si army and has now been captured."
Qian Xiaoxing is indeed amazing. Although Sima Chuchu expected such an ending, she still didn't want to believe it. She hated and admired Qian Xiaoxing. Zheng Chang was arrested. What should I do in the future?
Suddenly, Sima Chuchu felt very helpless. After all, as a girl, she still had a weak side and walked down the city wall sadly, planning what was going on in her heart.
Qian Xiaoxing will definitely come to attack Qingyu City. He has only 5,000 soldiers and Zheng Chang is not here, and the soldiers' morale is dispersed, so it is almost impossible to defend Qingyu City.
If the 50,000 soldiers stationed by the Lan River are asked to rescue him and Hu Bing takes the opportunity to cross the river to launch an attack, all 50,000 soldiers may be killed, so what should we do?
If the city is abandoned and a large amount of food and grass in the city falls into Qian Xiaoxing's hands, the army will immediately collapse if it loses the food and grass supply. Thinking of this, Sima Chuchu feels desperate. What should we do to resist the Si army in the current predicament?
While thinking about it, a scout came to report and said that Qian Xiaoxing's troops were coming to Qingyu City, which was only a few miles away.
"Select troops to defend the city immediately!" Sima Chuchu ordered. At the current situation, it seems that he can only take one step at a time.
When Qian Xiaoxing led his troops to the city, he saw that the city wall was full of soldiers, and he was waiting for the battle with bows and arrows.
Qian Xiaoxing asked several soldiers to hold a large shield and approach the city wall with Zheng Chang and shouted to the city wall: "Let Sima Chuchu come out and speak."
On the city wall, Sima Chuchu walked to the front from the soldiers and replied, "Qian Xiaoxing, what are you doing with me? What tricks do you want to play?"
Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "By the way, why do you always wear men's clothes? You will look better when wearing women's clothes."
"You don't have to care about this!" Sima Chuchu said angrily.
Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to say, "Our army is already at the city. It's a bit difficult for you to defend it for 5,000 people? I don't want to kill too much, so let's just surrender. If you do, you can be a little maid for me. How about it?"
"Bah, you dream! Even if you are a big gangster, we will be glorious even if we die in battle. If you have the ability, come and attack!" Sima Chuchu said firmly.
Seeing Sima Chuchu's angry expression, Qian Xiaoxing probably couldn't convince him, so he had to pull Zheng Chang out and signal Zheng Chang to come forward and say a few words.
"Chu Chu, the three thousand cavalry and nine thousand infantry have already surrendered to the State of Si. Don't be defending the dead. It's better to surrender to Qian Xiaoxing together and let him lead his troops to attack the State of Hu. I think the chance will be a little greater than that we will fight ourselves." Zheng Chang persuaded.
In Sima Chuchu's information, he only heard that Zheng Chang's troops were captured. He didn't expect that he would surrender to Si Guo. If he resisted, he would kill many people. However, when he thought of Qian Xiaoxing, he bit his teeth in hatred and couldn't help but answer: "Qian Xiaoxing said that he would surrender, so he would let us surrender. Did he underestimate us too much? He didn't boast that he would beat us until we surrender, so let him try it!"
"Chuchu, why are you doing?" Zheng Chang said helplessly to Qian Xiaoxing: "It seems that Chuchu is very dissatisfied with you. If you want to subdue her, you must also use some strength just like conquering Gao Feng."
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "My strength is there, everyone knows that if she surrenders or not, the result will be the same and will be destroyed by us."
"Don't talk big, I'm a little short of five thousand people, but your army only has tens of thousands of people. It may not be much advantageous. Just try it!" Sima Chuchu shouted.
It seems that Sima Chuchu was determined to eat the weight. There has been no siege war planned by Qian Xiaoxing for a long time. This is the first time that the attack on Qingyu City has been attacked. It is inevitable that the soldiers will suffer losses if they siege the city. This is something Qian Xiaoxing doesn't want to see. However, when Sima Chuchu put down his words, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't shrank and replied: "Okay, let's take a look. You will definitely break your Qingyu City within three days. When I catch you, I will have to circle you on the spot!"
Qian Xiaoxing and Zheng Chang returned to the army, and Lu Shengzhong came up and asked, "Seventh brother, do we really want to attack the city? Most of our troops are cavalry who are not good at attacking the city, and there are only tens of thousands of infantry soldiers. If you really want to attack, you may not have many advantages, and the casualties will probably be very large."
"This girl refuses to surrender. What else can I do if I don't attack?" Qian Xiaoxing said helplessly: "But even if I attack the city, I will not let the troops suffer too much. Wait for me to think of a way to see how to reduce casualties."
Lu Shengzhong asked in confusion: "Seventh brother, we have no siege cars or rushing cars, and there are only ladders. I'm afraid we can't do this if we don't lose our troops to capture Qingyu City."
Zheng Chang couldn't help but say, "General Qian, you won't use your Dark Knights. Although they are invulnerable, they may not have an advantage in siege, because the defenders push the ladder, or they use rolling stones to siege wood, even if they are invulnerable, it is useless."
"This... let me think about it. The tactics are varied. I don't believe that we have so many new weapons and will not be able to break the city!" Qian Xiaoxing replied confidently.
