Chapter 18 Winning the first place
Three days of spring passed by, and the day of capturing the village of Bayun Village came soon. Ye Cangcheng was as calm as usual, and such a calmness did not attract the attention of the village of Bayun Village.
When the time came, the thick dark clouds in the night sky blocked the bright moon, causing the already dim land of Mobei to fall into a short period of darkness. At this moment, the west gate and north gate of Ye Cangcheng opened at the same time. The three teams took advantage of the night to run in different directions very quickly, and disappeared into the twilight as a whole.
You can tell by the name of the Poyun Village. It is a semi-temporary village. It does not occupy a large area and does not have many garrisons. The Poyun Village is built on a hill that is several meters high on the flat ground, and there are observation platforms around it. The village is divided into three layers from the outer periphery to the inner periphery: the outermost layer is cavalry, the middle one is infantry, and the middle one is Fengduwei Chunyu Mao’s den. It can be said that although the Poyun Village is small, it can be fully equipped.
It has been only two years since the establishment of the Liang Li year 27, but the Liang army has not had the idea of eliminating it, but because of the Northern Army and the Yongcheng garrison, it has not taken action. Chunyu Mao became more and more bold, but he has been building the village bigger and bigger. At this time, the Bayun Village was still as usual, and the large group of people were resting, but only patrol soldiers observed around the village, and Chunyu Mao was also sleeping soundly in his big tent. Suddenly, a feeling of earth shaking and shaking mountains woke Chunyu Mao up from his dream.
"What happened!" Chunyu Mao suddenly opened his eyes, touched his bearded face, jumped off the bed and shouted, "Come here!"
Soon a soldier rushed in and reported with a panic look on his face: "Master Duwei! There is an enemy situation!"
When he heard the word "enemy situation", Chunyu Mao shivered, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared immediately. He quickly put on his armor and rushed out of the military tent to the gate of the village. When he saw it, he was a little stupid.
I saw that there was no Liang team coming in the east of the village accompanied by the rumbling sound and the smoke rising. Instead, there were hundreds of horses. The horse herd seemed to be frightened and ran towards the direction of the Baoyun Village regardless of concern.
"What's going on?!" Chunyu Mao's mind, which was not well-developed, couldn't make a turn, so he could only take remedial measures. "Come on! Hurry up and let those horses change their direction!"
"Yes!" With the order, the Xiliang soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep were preparing in a hurry. After a while, dozens of cavalry and cavalry of Xiliang rushed out of the Puyun Village, trying to drive away the frightened horses, because the incident suddenly happened, and everyone did not carry weapons.
While running towards these wild horses, the cavalry shouted loudly and waved the horse poles in their hands. Most of the cavalry in Xiliang were selected from herders. Herders were originally good at riding horses and driving cattle and sheep, so almost everyone thought it was not difficult.
Chunyu Mao stood on the post of the Biaoyun Village and looked from afar, wondering why a group of frightened wild horses suddenly came. Horses at night generally would not run in groups, unless... unless someone did it on purpose! Yes, someone must have done it on purpose! At this moment, Chunyu Mao finally realized that this might be a trap.
A fear suddenly surged into Chun Yu Mao's heart. This shock made him completely awake. Could it be the Liang ** team?
"Blow the alarm! Hurry up!" Chunyu Mao shouted at the sentry like crazy. Although the sentry was confused, he could not disobey the military order. Soon the unique sound of the ox horn in Xiliang resounded throughout the entire Paoyun Village.
At this moment, the first batch of Xiliang cavalry were almost approaching these frightened wild horses. Before they could perform their horse training skills, a long whistle suddenly sounded, and the two horses running at the fore were neighing, their front hooves were raised high, and they stopped in place; then there was a long whistle, and the two horses who were leading the way turned around and ran in the direction they came. In this way, the horses following behind also turned around and ran. For a moment, the scene was very chaotic and sand was everywhere.
What's going on? Not only these cavalrymen, but even Chun Yu Mao was a little confused. But reality did not make Chun Yu Mao confused for too long. After the third whistle, the Xiliang soldiers rushed out of more than a dozen cavalrymen in the dust all over their eyes. It turned out to be the Liang Dynasty army!
It turns out that they are these Liang people! Chunyu Mao came in a hurry. After struggling for so long in the middle of the night, it turned out to be a sneak attack. You guys underestimate me Chunyu Mao too much. Just a dozen people dare to come to visit the Poyun Village!
But what Chunyu Mao never expected was that he miscalculated the number of opponents, not more than a dozen, but hundreds!
The horses were not frightened, but were led towards the Paoyun Village by a well-trained head horse. The three whistles were issued by Xuan Shaoning, so the puzzle was to gain valuable time when sprinting, and now is the best time to rush!
"rush!"
The soldiers of Han Dao rushed towards the Puyun Village, and the earliest group of Xiliang cavalry were not aware of the current situation at all. They realized that they were not carrying weapons, so they turned their horses and ran back one after another, but they were still caught up by the soldiers of Han Dao and they were chopped down one after another.
At this time, Chunyu Mao was completely awake, and it can be said that he was so awake that he could no longer be awake. "Prepare to defend! Get up and prepare for close combat!" Because at this time, the Liang Dynasty army was already very close to Boyun Village, and the cavalry had lost their advantage and could only carry out close combat.
Taking advantage of the terrain, some Xiliang soldiers began to push the wolf teeth fence in a hurry, while others panickedly picked up their weapons to prepare for the fight.
Xuan Shaoning rushed to the front of the team, tied the reins and rode his horse over the wolf-fang fence that had not been completely placed in place in front of him. As soon as he entered the village of Bayun Village, Xuan Shaoning drew out his machete to face the enemy head-on. If he was frightened when he killed someone for the first time, now he was riding on the horse with Song Mi's revenge and the military merits he wanted to fight for, he took action much more decisively. However, when the knife fell, the moment when blood splattered on his face, the unbearableness in his heart still hurt.
The chaos created by Xuan Shaoning successfully attracted most of the attention of the Bowyun Village. Not long after he rushed into the military camp with the fourth army, Lu Xiang, who had been invisible in the dark night, also led his people to rush to the west hillside of Bowyun Village. Suddenly, he was attacked from both sides, making Bowyun Village a real battlefield. The two armies were close forces and fought fiercely.
Chunyu Mao realized that the Liang people must have come prepared for this raid. His army was not large and the sudden clash of the incident had no chance of winning. If he wanted to save the Bayun Village, he would have to come to help.
Chunyu Mao grabbed a soldier beside him and shouted, "Light the beacon tower immediately for help! Hurry!" After the soldiers were ordered to leave, Chunyu Mao picked up the huge half-moon machete and killed him. Chunyu Mao was tall, full of tendons and flesh, and was full of murderous aura. He was worthy of being Feng Duwei. With a roar, he was extremely arrogant and waved the machete and chopped down four people in a row. Blood splattered all over his face and didn't care.
"You Liang people thought that sneak attacks would take me into the village of Boyun? Haha, first ask me the knife in Chunyu Mao's hand!" A trace of blood on his face, and then chopped down three people.
Xuan Shaoning saw this scene and thought that he would never let the other party's morale rise, so he tightened the reins and squeezed the horse's belly hard and rushed towards Chunyu Mao. Chunyu Mao saw someone rushing towards him, but he didn't dodge and held the big knife tightly. Just when Xuan Shaoning rushed to the front, he suddenly squatted down and chopped the horse's hooves with his sword. The horse neighed in pain, and blood splashed. The four hooves of the war horse under Xuan Shaoning's crotch were cut off together. The horse fell down and threw Xuan Shaoning out.
"Not good!" Xing Gang saw Xuan Shaoning in danger and wanted to come forward to help, but the Xiliang soldiers were extremely difficult to deal with, which made him unable to escape.
When Chunyu Mao saw the enemy landing, he jumped up and raised his sword in the air and slashed at Xuan Shaoning in the face. His movements were fast and fierce, and he vowed to slash Xuan Shaoning in half. Xuan Shaoning also injured his left hand when he fell to the ground. Before he could recover, he felt the murderous aura coming towards him. So he inserted the knife in his hand deeply into the ground, and raised the sand and soil to sprinkle it towards Chunyu Mao. He rolled with the momentum, and then the enemy closed his eyes and avoided the fierce attacking knife.
Chunyu Mao narrowed his eyes by the sudden sand and the sure-fire knife was not hit. He suddenly became angry and blushed, and he roared, "You damn Liang man!" The horizontal sword began to chop randomly in his hand. Although the moves were very chaotic, with years of experience on the battlefield, Chunyu Mao's blade was extremely sharp. Xuan Shaoning could only resist for a while and had no chance to fight back.
The swords and the swords were rubbing with sparks, and Xuan Shaoning could only retreat step by step. No! This would definitely not work! Xuan Shaoning had retreated to the side of a tent. Xuan Shaoning glanced at the tent and immediately dodged in.
Chunyu Mao, who finally opened his eyes completely, could basically see clearly. He whispered, "You guy, if you can't beat him, you can hide. This move is a way to die for me, Chunyu Mao!" As he said that, he crossed the sword and actually cut off the curtain of the tent. Chunyu Mao rushed in, but saw that Xuan Shaoning had already split the other side of the tent and acted to escape.
"I want to escape? It's not that easy!" Chunyu Mao, who was on fire, rushed over and chopped people without thinking. This happened to be trapped in Xuan Shaoning. After Xuan Shaoning jumped out of the tent, he slashed several times according to the pillar of the tent. With a bang, the entire tent collapsed, just covering Chunyu Mao.
Chun Yumao, who was in trouble, was even more furious. While roaring, he waved his sword and slashed around, hoping to get out of the predicament.
"You have no chance this time!" Xuan Shaoning held the machete tightly in his hand, his body trembled slightly, his eyebrows were frowning together, hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to roar heart-wrenchingly. He rushed to the front with gritted teeth and chopped down fiercely at the figure in the tent. Suddenly the tent broke and blood gushed out! This scene shocked the two soldiers who were fighting.
After trying hard to put away the knife, Xuan Shaoning staggered back a few steps. The hand holding the knife was completely numb. He had already used all his strength. As the tent covering Chunyumao cracked and fell to the ground, Chunyumao still stood strongly! Xuan Shaoning's sword that was trying his best was blocked by Chunyumao's sword, but Chunyumao's own horizontal blocking knife was also deeply embedded in his left shoulder, and blood flowed.
"Boy, your strength is not strong enough!" Chunyu Mao actually laughed. After saying that, he slowly lifted the knife embedded in his shoulder with both hands. When the blade left the wound, blood even gushed out. "When my Xiliang reinforcements arrived, you will all die!"
This result was beyond Xuan Shaoning's expectations. Before the incredible expression on his face had faded away, his mind clearly analyzed the current situation. So he pretended to be calm and laughed dryly, "Don't dream, your reinforcements will not arrive. Your signal for help has been sent out. If there are really reinforcements, why is there still no movement at this time?"
This sentence really reminded Chunyu Mao that the signal for help had been sent. According to common sense, the northern army should have arrived at this time. Could it be... impossible! Chunyu Mao firmly believed that this was the other party's trick.
Grasping Chunyu Mao's hesitation for a moment, Xuan Shaoning ran to Chunyu Mao and jumped to the side and slashed down with another knife. Unexpectedly, Chunyu Mao was still agile. Before he used the knife to resist and his strength was even stronger, he directly knocked away the machete in Xuan Shaoning's hand. Enduring the pain of the tiger's mouth, Xuan Shaoning jumped away from the distance, pulled out the Junwu sword and stabbed it straight to his back. Chunyu Mao turned his upper body to block it, and happened to expose the wound on his shoulder to Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning seized the opportunity, jumped on the spot, pulled out the knife at his ankle and aimed at the wound and stabbed it violently. The feeling of the blade rubbing through the bones spreading to Xuan Shaoning's mind along the arm.
The severe pain made Chun Yumao temporarily lose his defense. Xuan Shaoning no longer gave the enemy any chance. He quickly inserted the Junwu Sword straight into Chun Yumao's chest! Chun Yumao widened his eyes like a cowbell staring at the strange face in front of him, and he was not willing to believe what was happening in front of him. Xuan Shaoning shouted, kicked Chun Yumao's body with his legs, and with the force to retreat. As his body leaped back, he pulled the Junwu Sword out of Chun Yumao's chest, and a blood column sprayed into the air.
Xuan Shaoning, who was already unable to stand firm on the ground, shook his hand holding the knife even more violently. He was gasping for breath, and his whole body was already showing signs of losing strength, but his eyes were fixed on the opponent on the opposite side. At this time, Chunyu Mao knelt on one knee, leaning on the circular scimitar to support his shaking body, and one hand covered his bloody chest, with blue veins on his face and blood-red eyes.
"If you want my life, you have to exchange it for it!" Chunyu Mao rushed towards Xuan Shaoning again and swung the circular scimitar in his hand before he could get close. Xuan Shaoning retreated repeatedly and was not in a hurry to attack again, but tried hard to defend. After just a few rounds, Chunyu Mao lost too much blood and his physical strength gradually disappeared. Xuan Shaoning seized the opportunity to attack and used the Junwu Sword to cut a hole in Chunyu Mao's neck. Chunyu Mao pinched his neck with both hands but couldn't stop the blood flowing. Finally, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground on his back. With the twitching of his body, the ground he fell down was immediately soaked in blood.
"Your lord is dead!" Cao Tie shouted loudly. Xuan Shaoning's move "capturing the thief first" was very effective. Seeing that Chunyu Mao was dead, the remaining Xiliang soldiers had no backbone for a while, and they were in a mess. Those who fled and surrendered. Lu Xiang's army surrounded the siege of Boyun Village. It took only an hour for the two armies to encircle that Boyun Village changed their ownership, and the sky was not yet completely dawn.
Pei Zhenghao and Xiang Ang's army effectively stopped the northern Xiliang army who received the distress signal; Yuan Yao, Geng Yan and Zhan Ting on the other side only surrounded Yongcheng without attacking, and immediately withdrew their troops after receiving the news of capturing Xiabai.
After a bloody night, the Xuanjia Army successfully pulled out the nail in the Paoyun Village after paying less than a hundred casualties!
