Chapter 247 Empty Hands and Swords(1/2)
"My lord, can the dove occupying the magpie's nest be used here?" Xun Yan said with a smile.
"Isn't it okay?"
"No!" Xun Yan denied: "Wei magpies have nests, and wei doves live in them. The saying comes from the Book of Songs. It means that turtle doves cannot build nests and often occupy the magpies' nests. It refers to the fact that when a woman gets married, she takes her husband as her husband.
Home."
Ah this...
Why doesn’t the education I received mean this?
"No matter where it is used, this nest will be doomed by me!" Liu Qing said with a smile.
"Master, we are all here, why don't we go to Shu County to say hello?"
The three of them looked at Dian Wei and saw that he was not very smart.
"General Dian, there must be Ji Lingjun sentry outside Shu County. If we go there, we will expose ourselves." Xun Yan explained.
"Ah, that's right!" Then he turned to Liu Qing: "Master, I'll go get ready first!"
After Dian Wei finished speaking, he ran away.
The rest of the time is just waiting.
The night was dark and chilly.
However, in Ji Ling camp, the guards guarding the camp did not slack off at all and looked around vigilantly, even if there was only darkness in their sight.
Liu Qing and Dian Wei hid in the night, carefully peering into the barracks.
"Lord, there is someone guarding me, what should I do?"
"What else can we do? Trample him with iron hooves and crush him. Remember, don't set fire to the camp. If Ji Ling leaves, don't pursue him." Liu Qing said.
"Here!"
Looking at the vigilant sentries, Liu Qing secretly praised Ji Ling for his strict military management. No wonder he became the strongest combat force in Yuan Shu's army. Unfortunately, he met me. My royal guard cavalry and Dian Wei's tiger guard cavalry were all under his command.
The most elite cavalry.
Dian Wei rode on the black goods. Although it was dark, he scanned the soldiers behind him as usual and whispered: "Let's go!"
The initial sound was very low, and then the horseshoes suddenly appeared, immediately alerting the guard post at the gate.
"Dang, dang, dang!" A golden sound sounded immediately, echoing in the camp. Not long after, there were echoes in the distance, and the commotion was already known to the whole camp.
However, Liu Qing had no intention of making a sneak attack at all.
Dian Wei took the lead and rushed straight to the camp gate. Two sentries fought with guns. Dian Wei displayed his two halberds and a riding wind roared past. The black man went straight over the horse in the middle of the camp gate, rushed into the camp, and fell to the ground with him.
Yes, they are the heads of two guard sentries.
Liu Qing held an iron spear and followed Dian Wei. He saw Dian Wei kill the guard sentry with one blow and jumped over the horse at the gate.
When Liu Qing saw that the guard post was dead but the camp gate was still blocked by a wooden horse, he thrust his halberd horizontally and before leaping his golden sword, he took the lead in flying the horse to clear a path for the rear army.
A group of guards immediately filed in behind him, and the horses' hooves trampled on the hard ground, making loud and endless sounds.
After the alarm sounded, Ji Ling rushed to the resting tent almost immediately. He was wearing armor, and he obviously slept in it.
"Don't panic, prepare each battalion and assemble to fight!" Ji Ling ordered.
At the same time, the guards brought the war horses. Ji Ling got on his horses and rushed to the place of battle without any hesitation.
Along the way, Ji Ling issued frequent orders, and groups of cavalry continued to join in, like trickles of water converging into a river, rushing towards the camp gate.
Dian Wei rushed into the camp, only to encounter sporadic resistance, posing no threat at all. After charging a few feet, he heard the dull rumble of countless horse hooves. Even if they did not appear, it was already reminiscent of the sight of thousands of horses galloping.
Dianweile stopped his horse and waited for Liu Qing to come forward.
"Lord, listen!" Dian Wei cupped one ear with one hand, "What a loud noise!"
"Ji Ling is worthy of being a general in charge of the army. No wonder he dares to station himself outside Shu County, Dian Wei, to form an array to fight against us!" Liu Qing ordered.
Dian Wei raised his two halberds, and the tiger guards gathered one after another and formed a charging formation, while the imperial guards followed Liu Qing and guarded him.
The fire in the camp was dancing, and the light was not clear, flickering on and off. Liu Qing vaguely saw a group of cavalry emerging from the depths of the camp, almost occupying the entire camp passage.
At the same time, Dian Wei shouted loudly.
"Tiger Guard, kill me!"
As soon as the order was given, Dian Wei's horse suddenly sprang out, and the Tiger Guard Cavalry roared up, shouting "kill, kill, kill", and the iron horseshoe trampled on the ground. The sound was completely different from that of the Ji Ling Cavalry.
Ji Ling's army was like muffled thunder before it broke out, while the Tiger Guard Cavalry was like thunder, exploding towards the enemy's formation.
The power of thunder is like nothing else.
Although Yuan Jun's camp was wide, it could not accommodate thousands of people. The tiger guards were used as heavy cavalry to rush into the formation, while Liu Qing's imperial guards were used as killing weapons.
Following the Tiger Guard, not long after, I heard the sound of weapons clashing in front of me.
As the leading general, Dian Wei did not flinch when faced with three or four spear attacks. He took his hands off the reins and danced his two halberds. Facing the rapidly approaching spear heads, Dian Wei swept away with his halberd, knocking all three or four spears away.
His strength was so great that he almost took the gunman off his horse.
The latter had just stabilized his body when Dian Wei quickly passed by him. The black man found a gap and swam past. Dian Wei's two halberds crossed and cut down the four people around him.
Behind him, the tiger guard, with a shield in one arm and a spear in the other, was capable of both offense and defense. They clashed head-on with the Ji Ling cavalry. The sound of chaotic metal clashes could be heard endlessly. The soldiers on both sides burst out with endless fighting spirit, and their pride washed away the winter.
The chill of the night.
The fighting spirit in the first battle may have been evenly matched, but Ji Ling's cavalry faced off against the Tiger Guard cavalry, and after they entered each other's formation, the battle was decided.
The Ji Ling cavalry has no saddle or stirrups, and can only attack with a gun under its arm. The Tiger Guard cavalry is fully equipped with saddles and armor, and has stirrups as support under its feet. It is very easy to defend against the opponent's direct thrust, and its attack method is also very flexible. Under attack,
People in Ji Lingjun kept getting shot and fell off their horses.
Dian Wei wielded his iron halberd, swiping, slashing, stabbing forward, flying, and carving out a clear path.
Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged sword and was walking with the army. From a distance, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him. Wherever he went, a group of cavalry were killed by it, and they were turned upside down.
"There is such a brave general!" Ji Ling couldn't help but sigh. He held the three-pointed two-edged sword tightly in his hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse suddenly accelerated and faced Dian Wei.
Although the light was dim, Dian Wei clearly felt the provocative momentum ahead. Among the rebels, the one with such momentum was probably the commander-in-chief Ji Ling.
"Huha! Ji Ling comes to fight!" Dian Wei shouted and pointed in front of his iron halberd.
When Ji Ling heard this, he replied: "Now that you know my name, if you dare to attack me, tell me your name as soon as possible!"
"You are one of the guards under the command of King Bohai!"
Dian Wei said and struck with a halberd.
Ji Ling crossed the three-pointed two-edged sword and stood in front of him. There was a clear symphony of "clang". Ji Ling felt a huge force from the iron handle to his hands. The force was so great that it even shook his entire body.
The position was moved back a few inches.
Ji Ling was startled, turned over the long handle, and swung the blade towards Dian Wei.
Dian Wei swung out another halberd, making another loud noise, and firmly caught Ji Ling's killing move. With the help of the firelight, Dian Wei also saw Ji Ling's appearance clearly. His face was full of beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, like copper bells, brown and yellow.
He is wearing a tassel helmet and brown armor, which looks like a three-pointed two-edged sword.
"Some strength, but not as good as mine!" Dian Wei joked.
Ji Ling became angry, retracted the three-pointed two-edged sword, swung it half a circle, and switched to slashing in an attempt to break through Dianwei's protection.
But for every blow, Dian Wei adjusted the position of the iron halberd, parried or deflected it, and it was said that there was no leakage.
Ji Ling took back his weapon and looked at Dian Wei warily.
"Why don't you attack?" Dian Wei said jokingly. He knew that appropriate teasing could anger his opponent and make him lose control. This was taught by his lord.
When Ji Ling heard this, he frowned and realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
At first, he naturally thought that soldiers and horses from Shu County were coming to rob the camp. He was already prepared, so he wore his armor and slept.
Then, seeing that his own side was far from a match for the enemy, he became confused, could it be the brave Lu Bu who came?
And Dian Wei's words confused Ji Ling again.
King Bohai is guarding him. If the guard is here, doesn’t it mean that the master is also here?
Thinking of this, Ji Ling asked casually: "Where is King Bohai?"
"You want to see my king so much, why not put down your weapons, tell the cavalry to stop, and I will take you to see him!" Dian Wei gave a serious suggestion.
"Hmph, don't even think about making me surrender without a fight!" Ji Ling scolded and attacked again.
However, at this time, Dian Wei did not choose to defend, but the black goods suddenly accelerated. Dian Wei rushed to Ji Ling with a formidable momentum, slashed with his left halberd and stabbed with his right halberd. Ji Ling could barely catch it, but Dian Wei
Wei's offensive changed again, with both left and right halberds coming out, and he struck again with several blows.
Once, in just a short round, I don’t know how many attacks were sent out. When they were separated, Ji Ling accidentally made a move, and Dian Wei took advantage of it. He stabbed back with a halberd. Ji Ling’s scalp was hard, and the soldiers were in front. Obviously, he could not
To block, I had to use my free hand to catch him.
Ji Ling was also considered to be very powerful, and his eyes were also cunning. He grabbed the tip of the halberd with one hand, trying to immobilize it. However, Ji Ling was too confident in his own strength, or he did not predict Dian Wei's strength enough. With one strike of the iron halberd,
It still reached his waist armor.
Although the force was removed, the blow did not break through Ji Ling's armor, but the arrogant power was actually poured into Ji Ling's body, especially the waist, which was a weak point. Ji Ling immediately felt as if he had been hit hard.
