Chapter 801: A bumpy road (2)

With the 100,000 mist cavalry that he had pieced together, Kunbo placed his hopes on the smooth journey. Unexpectedly, Zheng's army, who was picked up, had collected the baggage, and most of the hopes had been shattered.

Kunbo led the remaining 60,000 troops to launch an attack on the Zheng army's baggage battalion. The Zheng army's baggage was commanding the army, Rao Qingshan, another deputy governor of the Anbei Protectorate. This person has always been cautious. He marched for only 30 miles a day. He ordered camps to be set up when it snowed heavily. While sending people to the army to deliver letters and ask for troops to respond, he was building fortifications to guard the battle. He has been in the north for many years and naturally knew how to use snow to build walls to water and reinforce them. Although the scouts who sent the letter from Jiang Anyi launched an attack before they arrived in Kunbo, the baggage battalion easily blocked the attack of the Moqi with the solid snow wall and smooth ground.

The scout sent by Jiang Anyi came. When Rao Qingshan learned that reinforcements would arrive at dawn, he became more and more calm in command. Kunbo launched several strong attacks and was resolved by him. At the second hour of Mao, Jiang Anyi led his army out, and the red flag was particularly eye-catching in the plain white area. The Zheng army in the camp cheered and the morale of the Mo Knight was very depressed.

Kunbo wanted to launch a counterattack on Jiang Anyi, and Lan Xutao advised: "The reinforcements in Zheng State have first arrived and their morale is strong. Our army has been fighting for a long time, and their people are exhausted. If they are trapped by the Zheng people, there may be danger of destruction. It is better to withdraw to Buqicha and regain supplies to rescue the prisoners. If there is no supply, everything will be done."

In desperation, Kunbo had to lead his army to withdraw. Jiang Anyi entered the baggage camp and handed over to Rao Qingshan. After receiving the general order from the commander, Rao Qingshan was stunned. Unexpectedly, the commander handed over the command to Jiang Anyi. Rao Qingshan was the deputy governor of Anbei, with a third rank, and Jiang Anyi was the fourth rank of the army. According to the saying, Rao Qingshan had a higher rank, but Wang Keming ordered Rao Qingshan to obey Jiang Anyi's command. Rao Qingshan was unhappy and smiled on the surface: "Mr. Jiang came just right. I led the baggage camp north under the order, and I was worried all the way and the desert attacked. I felt very tired. Lord Jiang was young and promising. I just took the burden and slowly, hahaha."

Beating drums and gathering generals, Rao Qingshan read out the generals of the generals in front of the generals, and then handed over the fish talisman symbolizing command to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi was anxious and worried that the retreating Moqiqi counterattacked Buqicha. Anyong had to face how more than 80,000 Moqiqi could withstand. After briefly introducing the situation of the army, Jiang Anyi said: "This time he went south to plunder a total of 100,000. Last night, I had led the army to seize their baggage. If this group of Moqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqi

Rao Qingshan said: "Master Jiang, it is more than fifty miles from the baggage camp to Buqicha, so he can only send light cavalry to rescue. The baggage camp has only 30,000 light cavalry. Even if the master's reinforcements are 20,000, I am afraid that it will still be at a disadvantage compared to the Mo cavalry. Besides, the 20,000 light cavalry led by Master Jiang attacked the Mo people's Buqicha camp at night and rescued the baggage camp overnight. It was already too late to run away, so it was difficult to drive away."

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said, "I will take 30,000 light cavalry from the baggage battalion to rescue. As long as I rescue Buqicha's light cavalry from breaking the siege, I will try not to fight with the desert army. Governor Rao, after I leave, the baggage battalion will head north and try to meet with the army as soon as possible."

After having dinner immediately, Jiang Anyi led another 30,000 light horses to the north. The sky was already bright, and there were traces of Jiang Anyi and the others coming in the snow.

In addition, these 30,000 people were raising their energy and returned quickly. They approached Buqizha in more than an hour. From a distance, they heard the horns shaking the sky, and the desert cavalry was circling. Jiang Anyi was concerned about his brother's safety and rushed forward.

On the high slope beside Buqicha, Jiang Anyong circled the vehicles on the periphery and made a car wall according to his brother's instructions, and built them with snow in the gaps. These were all done by driving the prisoners of the desert. The snow wall was filled with more than a hundred corpses of the desert people. In order to shock these prisoners, Jiang Anyong ordered that if there was any resistance, he would be killed.

When it was dawn, the attack of the Mo people came. With the help of the walls, the Zheng army shot arrows down from the high slope. The horses were not fast in the snow, and soon a large area of ​​Mo people's corpses fell down the slope. When the prisoners of the Mo people saw the arrival of reinforcements, they were ready to move. Jiang Anyong ordered the shooting arrows at the Mo people who were moving without hesitation. Under the rain of arrows, the corpses were buried everywhere, and hundreds of casualties made the prisoners dare not move anymore.

Chen was in the morning, and the sun was coming, shining with the snow, which was dazzling. Liman led an army of 60,000. Looking at the desert cavalry all over the mountains, Jiang Anyong knew that the most difficult time was coming. Although he was in a position of advantage, 20,000 people and horses might not be able to withstand the 80,000 desert cavalry.

Thinking of his brother's instructions before leaving, Jiang Anyong ordered the grass to be piled up after the vehicle, and placed the beans and oils for feeding the horses next to the grass, and shot only one arrow without leaving any left. As for the beef and mutton jerky and milk slices, he was reluctant to burn it, so that the soldiers could open their stomachs and chew the rest with them, and take them away when breaking through; the prisoners could not be taken away, and they could be shot at the time; the captured war horses should not be thrown away, and they would be taken away together. If they really didn't work, they could change the horses to escape the siege.

Kunbo did not launch an attack immediately, but ordered a rest and eat. The baggage was taken away, there were horses shot to death on the ground, beef, mutton and milk slices with them, boiled the snow water and the Mo Army began to eat. Jiang Anyong really wanted to take this opportunity to rush for a while, and see the number of people in the Moqi, so he had to give up in disappointment.

At the third moment of Chen Zheng, the Moqi began to launch an attack and charged everywhere. The blood sprayed out of the rain melted the snow wall. The prisoners of the Mo people knew that the last moment of fate was approaching, and took advantage of the Zheng army's busy dealing with the attack and rushed down the slope. Kunbo sent troops to charge and restrain them. Jiang Anyong was caught off guard. More than 10,000 prisoners actually fled more than 5,000 people.

The Mo Army, who could save the prisoners, became more powerful. The snow walls of the car walls on the periphery began to collapse. Jiang Anyong knew that he could not hold on anymore, so he ordered the forage to be lit and began to burn supplies. The forage was poured with butter, and instantly, black smoke rolled and flames soared. The car was lit. The car walls, the snow walls were replaced by the fire walls, and the snow water melted and flowed downward, mixed with black ash, and the blood turned the snow into dirty.

Seeing that Zheng's army burned grass and other supplies, Kunbo was anxious and angry. Without supply, the more than 90,000 people would die of starvation on the grassland. While Kunbo ordered the Moqi to throw snow to put out the fire, he ordered the Moqi to block the Zheng army's retreat and to destroy the Zheng army.

Fire broke out on three sides, and the retreat was in the south. Jiang Anyong took the light cavalry to retreat south. Jiang Anyi saw the black smoke rising and knew that Jiang Anyong had abandoned his guard and was about to escape. He repeatedly urged the troops to go to rescue. Countless cavalry two miles away blocked the way, and heard the fierce fighting sounds from inside. Anyong was trapped. Jiang Anyi tightly knocked on the charcoal. The charcoal felt the owner's anxiety, and hissed, and rushed forward with a long hesitation.

Mo Qi heard the movement behind him and had no time to turn around to fight Jiang An

Yi had already arrived, and the moon-killing knife in his hand was swept out a blood alley quickly. Park Tianhao and others rushed into the blood alley. Soon, Jiang Anyi killed the Moqi and saw his younger brother An Yong rushing out.

Kunbo was commanding the Moqi to put out the fire, hoping to rescue some supplies. He heard the shouts of killing in the south and rushed towards the black wolf cavalry and saw reinforcements coming from Zheng army. At this time, Kunbo's eyes were red. Not to mention the dream of fighting for the Khan throne was shattered, whether he could survive was all right. When the enemy met, they would live to the death. He held up a scimitar and Kunbo rushed towards the Zheng army. The Moqi behind him shouted and attacked the Zheng cavalry for no reason.

The sad soldiers were hard to defeat. At the critical moment of life and death, the Moqi became crazy and fought with his life with his life. Jiang Anyi killed more than ten people in a row but still could not stop the decline. Zheng's army was killed by the Moqi and retreated repeatedly. Seeing that he rescued his younger brother, Jiang Anyi had no intention of fighting, so he ordered the bow chief to be behind and to cover the brigade to retreat while fighting.

The Moqi had not many bows and arrows, and it was difficult to organize a counterattack. He was forced to retreat several times by the rain of arrows. Jiang Anyi almost shot Kunbo with a strong bow in his hand. He was blocked by the clever and quick hand of the man next to Kunbo. Kunbo was frightened and dared not force each other tightly. Zheng's army and Moqi separated, and Jiang Anyi led the light cavalry to go south to join the baggage team.

Moqi used snow to extinguish the flames. Five hundred cars had more or less passed, and they could only barely pieced together more than two hundred cars for use. The grass was only two or three days left, but the beans were still edible when they were cooked by fire. Kunbo rode his horse around the carriage with blue smoke and mist passing by. The tents, arrows, jerky meat, and milk slices were gone, and how to return to the royal court became a problem.

Lan Xu Tao looked gloomy. Kunbo's defeat meant that he would withdraw from the Khan's competition. The Lan family, Juqu family and other tribes that support Kunbo would also be suppressed by Xin Han. The most important thing at the moment is to preserve their strength and return to the royal court. The 100,000 troops lost more than 10,000 people and horses, but they had not yet damaged their muscles and bones. The key is food and grass. Without food and grass, these 90,000 people would be separated in various ways. Lan Xu Tao said in a deep voice: "Kunbo Khan, if he wants to return to the royal court smoothly, it is not enough to rely on these supplies alone. Even if he drinks horse blood, the tribes will be in a state of resentment."

Kunbo said in a muffled voice: "My heart is like weeds. What do you think should I do?"

Lan Xutao subconsciously used the horse whip in his hand to beat the black wheel in front of him, thinking: "I went south to fight for a while, so I continued to fight and bit the Zheng people's baggage camp. I think there are not many light cavalry among the Zheng people's baggage camp and the reinforcements south. There is definitely an opportunity to escort a large amount of supplies to the north. As long as the Zheng people's baggage can be snatched or burned down the Zheng people's baggage, the Zheng people's army will not be able to move south smoothly, and no one can erase the Khan's credit."

Kunbo cheered up a little and said, "It's good to keep an eye on the Zheng people's baggage team, but our army has not much food left, and at most it's only enough to support for three days. What should I do then?"

Lan Xutao gritted his teeth and said, "You can only take one step at a time. Send a detective cavalry around to see if there are any tribes. You should borrow some food to them first, and even if you kill horses, you must hold on."
