[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 158 [English]
byChapter 153 Defeat
The Forbidden Army is very similar to Xiao Chiye, but they are more slippery than Xiao Chiye. This is a group of soldiers that makes the Libei Iron Cavalry feel complicated.Their reputation declined after Yong Yinian, and they became the decorations of the capital. Even their original patrol duties were taken away by the Eighth Battalion.For decades, they worked as menial workers, and appeared to be happy to eat and wait to die.However, when they met Xiao Chiye, it was as if they had been wiped clean of dust, and they finally shined in Qandu.
The Forbidden Army is different from the Libei Iron Cavalry and the Qidong Garrison. They are able to ignore all the noisy sounds and focus on Xiao Chiye alone.They can’t hear any comments about Xiao Chiye. As long as Xiao Chiye waves, they are willing to follow Xiao Chiye up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire. This is a kind of loyalty mixed with loyalty.
Just like at this moment, the enemy and ourselves were clearly outnumbered, but the Forbidden Army was not afraid. They cut off the legs of the frontline cavalry on the border, leaving a gap in Hassen’s encirclement.However, the number of cavalry that followed doubled, and their adaptability was very strong. They already sensed the intentions of the Forbidden Army without Hassen’s order.
The Forbidden Army wanted to chop off the legs, but the Biansha cavalry turned over and dismounted before rushing into the battlefield.They have no armor, the furs they wear are light and cold-resistant, and they move very quickly.They are different from Hu and Lu’s team. Each person is equipped with a spare scimitar on the side of the horse, and the thorns are tightly tied on the outside of the thigh. In this way, even if the scimitar is damaged, the spare knives can still be used, or the thorns can be used for close combat.
They are taciturn and well-trained.
Xiao Chiye was panting, his eyes scanning the elite fiercely.
Hasen didn’t speak. He didn’t need to negotiate with Xiao Chiye, and he didn’t want to use Xiao Chiye to threaten Xiao Fangxu.He knew that keeping Xiao Chiye would mean endless troubles, so he should kill Xiao Chiye now.
Hasen and Xiao Chiye looked at each other, he held the scimitar in one hand, loosened the reins with the other, and landed gently in the mud puddle.They were confronting each other like some kind of beasts, the smell of blood mixed with disgust.Hassen kept moving, wading in the muddy water and observing Xiao Chiye.
There were still scattered raindrops in the night sky, which fell on the back of Xiao Chiye’s hand.He held the Langlu knife and followed Hasen with his eyes.
This was a strange kind of silence. Although there was a lot of killing around him, Xiao Chiye felt very quiet. It was so quiet that it made his hair stand on end. He needed to exercise restraint, restraint, and restraint before he could suppress the murderous intention that was raging in his body.
Hasen stopped moving. He seemed to have sensed Xiao Chiye’s impatience.They are competing for the initiative on this battlefield, trying to influence the atmosphere here. This shows that they cannot coexist at all. That is the absolute control of their own rhythm.
The water droplets slid along the slightly bulging back of Xiao Chiye’s hand. The moment it fell, Hasen burst out.The red hair was like a torch shaking in the dark night, rushing into Xiao Chiye’s eyes the moment the mud swung away.
Hassen’s scimitar was forced to Xiao Chiye’s throat in the blink of an eye. Xiao Chiye took a step back suddenly, mud splashed out in a fan-like arc with his legs and feet, and he swung the Wolf Saber in a half-circle, and the two collided in the air.Hassen was hit by Xiao Chiye and slipped slightly, but he came back the next moment and even learned to dodge smartly.
The Wolf Sword was a heavy-duty ghost-headed sword, and Xiao Chiye’s arm strength relied on it. During the fight, Hasen tried to cut off Xiao Chiye’s arm with every move he made.Every time Xiao Chiye swung his sword, it would cut into the air. Even if he caught up with Hasen, Hasen would immediately brush the scimitar sideways and not accept Xiao Chiye’s terrifying strength.
Sneak attackers would pop up unexpectedly behind Xiao Chiye. He used his eyes and ears to the extreme, but his physical strength was like splashing water. In less than half an hour, Xiao Chiye already felt that his movements were a little slower.Ha Sen rushed forward again, and at the same time, a strong wind struck behind Xiao Chiye. He suddenly took a half-step, missed the scimitar behind him, grabbed the arm of the person behind him with his backhand, then turned around and kicked Ha Sen over, twisting off the hand of the sneak attacker behind him.The scimitar on the other side struck Xiao Chiye’s arm. There was a “bang” sound, but it was blocked by the arm restraint sent by Shen Zechuan.
The mud was like exploding cannonballs. The Langshu Dao was pressed down by the Biansha cavalry. Xiao Chiye immediately raised his fist with his left hand and knocked one of them over. The pressure on the Langshu Dao suddenly decreased, and he leaned down to lift the knife.Hassen’s scimitar was smashed by the Wolf Saber. He abandoned the scimitar, pulled out the thorns on both sides of his thighs, and jumped up at the right moment – someone from the Forbidden Army suddenly jumped out, hugged Hassen’s waist, and even used wrestling skills, but could not trip Hassen.
Hassen turned over the thorn, stabbed it into the side of the man’s neck along the man’s armor, and blood gushed out.Before Hasen could pull out the thorn, he turned his head to avoid Xiao Chiye’s knife.
People were dying on both sides. The Forbidden Army did not expect Hasen’s elite to be so strong, and these elites also did not expect that the Forbidden Army could hold on for so long.
The surrounding Biansha cavalry took out iron chains with small copper balls. The shape of this chain was similar to the chain used by the Libei cavalry for hooking, but it was much lighter.They made the encirclement smaller and smaller. When Xiao Chiye was pressed down by the Langlu Dao again, countless iron chains were thrown at Xiao Chiye. The copper balls caught Xiao Chiye’s arms, legs and feet. The iron chains were entangled and suddenly dragged Xiao Chiye to the ground.
Hasen’s spear rushed towards Xiao Chiye’s face. Xiao Chiye almost used all his strength to drag his arms to block. The Biansha cavalrymen who were holding the chain staggered.
The thorn hit the armband with a “bang” again, but this fine iron could not withstand such repeated collisions.Xiao Chiye felt that the dog’s leather rope was broken and the arm restraints had dented.
Xiao Chiye tried to break the chains, but there were too many chains and his arms couldn’t bear it.He turned his head and spat out the sand in his mouth, and saw the cavalryman’s scimitar hooking directly at his neck.At this moment, Xiao Chiye saw the dark sky, the wind from Hongyan Mountain blowing his soaked hair, and he thought of Shen Zechuan while breathing heavily.
Hasen was already sure of victory, but Xiao Chiye, despite all the efforts, actually raised his legs and kicked over the cavalryman holding the sword.The chain that tied him suddenly started to shake, and he couldn’t tell whether it was sweat or muddy water dripping from his temples.Just seeing the veins twitching suddenly, Xiao Chiye suddenly stood up like a carp and turned over.
However, it was difficult to support a single tree. The cavalrymen straightened the chains when Xiao Chiye was trying to stand up, and within a moment, he was dragged to the ground again.
He cannot escape tonight!
At the critical moment, the ground suddenly shook, the water droplets among the branches and leaves of the bushes jumped, and the horn sounded in the vast night.
Hassen looked to the south, and sure enough he saw a man charging over alone, with the same black wave crushing everything behind him.The mud puddle shook more violently as they approached, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves revealed the weight of steel.
Hazen immediately blew the whistle, and the cavalrymen got on their horses neatly and quickly retreated north.When Hasen turned his horse’s head, he glanced at Xiao Chiye regretfully.He raised his two fingers, tapped his forehead, leaned over and politely said goodbye to Xiao Chiye, then left a mess on the ground and left.
The black iron horse rushed to Xiao Chiye’s side and circled around him.
Xiao Fangxu took off his helmet, stared at Xiao Chiye, and said in a deep voice to the person behind him: “Untie your second son, it’s so ugly.”
Xiao Chiye’s expression was stern, showing the shame of defeat for the first time.
* * *
There are five generals in the Shasan Battalion, and they all belong to Xiao Fangxu. According to the rank, Xiao Chiye is at the end.But this time he was defeated in a very embarrassing manner. He squatted outside the tent and poured cold water on his body. The generals who came in and out would look at him.
Xiao Chiye didn’t seem to feel it. There were knife wounds on his shoulders, chest, and back, which were turned white by the cold water.After relaxing in the tent for a while, Zuo Qianqiu lifted the curtain and looked at Xiao Chiye’s back squatting beside him. His blame turned into distressed amusement, and he called out, “Come in, have a bowl of hot water, don’t get sick in such a cold day.”
Xiao Chiye responded in a muffled voice, stood up, put the bucket back, and entered the tent.
There was a fire in the tent, Xiao Chiye’s rotten armor was useless, and Xiao Fangxu was looking at the dented fine iron on the armband.Zuo Qianqiu ordered the military doctor to apply medicine and bandage on Xiao Chiye. Xiao Chiye sat on the pony, unable to carry his back.
After a while, Chenyang, Gujin, Tantaihu, and Wu Ziyu all came in.
“Report the casualties to your general.” Xiao Fangxu threw the armband back on the table, sat on the upper seat, and said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang whispered: “Three hundred people died in the Forbidden Army…”
“Louder,” Xiao Fangxu looked at Chen Yang, “Why are you so downcast?”
Chen Yang raised his voice: “Three hundred people of the Forbidden Army died, thirty-six were seriously injured, and eight were slightly injured.”
The Forbidden Army is the root of Xiao Chiye, and he will bear the casualties himself. There is no possibility of further expansion of this army. It is unique. Once the entire army is wiped out, even Xiao Chiye will not be able to rebuild in Libei.This means that as long as the Forbidden Army loses the battle, they will face doubled losses.Three hundred people were very few for the Qidong garrison or the Libei cavalry, but for the Forbidden Army, it was a heavy casualty.
The tent fell into silence. Tantaihu glanced at Chenyang and Gujin for a few times, and finally plucked up the courage to say: “Hasen was caught by surprise, and so is the master…”
“Report to your commander the casualties of Liuyang’s third battalion.” Xiao Fangxu said solemnly.
Chen Yang paused for a moment and said: “Liuyang South Route Army has 892 casualties, 45 serious injuries, and 237 minor injuries.”
“Zhaohui originally fought the northern route. This southern route army was temporarily set up to save your forbidden army. There are two thousand people in total. When digging the collapsed horse road, they were attacked by Hassen’s cavalry left on the northern route. They were attacked in half.” Xiao Fangxu said, “If you honestly stay where you are, you can meet them in less than two hours, but you rashly turned around and entered Tudalong Banner. How are you going to explain this loss to Zhaohui?”
Xiao Chiye said nothing.
Xiao Fangxu continued: “You should remember that you are the general who escorts the baggage, not the general who fights. If you use hundreds of people to attack Hasen’s troops, is your brain kicked by a donkey Xiao Chiye?”
Zuo Qianqiu was not supposed to speak at first, but Xiao Chiye just retreated from the battlefield. As a master, he could not help but feel distressed, so he said: “Hasen has been planning this time for a long time, and there was a heavy rain. The situation was urgent at that time, Aye——”
“You don’t regard the Libei Iron Cavalry as your responsibility at all. You only have the Forbidden Army in your eyes.” Xiao Fangxu propped up his knees and suddenly became stern, “The battle at Bianbo Camp went to your head, and you regarded everyone as Hu Helu. Today’s defeat to Hasen is a lesson. What confidence do you have to confront him head-on? Lift your head up!”
Wu Ziyu couldn’t hold back and knelt down on the ground with a plop.As soon as he knelt down, Tantai Hu couldn’t figure out the situation, so he knelt down, and “thump thump” Chenyang and Gujin also knelt down.
Xiao Fangxu looked at them quickly.
Wu Ziyu said weakly: “Your Majesty… no, no… my feet are weak.”
