Although Zuo Dashuai suffered heavy losses from being ambushed by Qin Yu last time, and even injured his vitality, he still had more than 10,000 soldiers to fight.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu was not distressed at all about the loss of seven or eight thousand people, what he was distressed about was the tens of thousands of blades, thousands of war horses, bows and arrows, and a large amount of cotton armor.

In order to buy these belongings, not only did he almost scrape off the land in Guanghua County, but he also lost a lot of money, but he never thought of a carelessness, and he actually cheapened the gang of thieves.

So the hatred for those thieves in his heart can be imagined, if he led the troops to pursue alone, I am afraid that he would not have killed them long ago to take revenge.

But with Qin Ming by his side to help in the battle, the situation was very different.

He fought for life and death in front, and Qin Ming hung in the back to pick up cheap for nothing, how could he do such a stupid thing?

Therefore, the generals of the Ming Dynasty cannot get together to fight, especially when they have the same official position and similar strength.

Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting all know this, and they will avoid this situation when they dispatch troops, but Xiong Wencan has just come from Fujian and doesn't know this kind of market at all.

Thinking that the more soldiers and horses, the better, he made a two-way attack at the same time, and as a result, a good hand of cards was played poorly.

If it is replaced by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting and the two of them are in command, they will definitely let Qin Ming block Nanzhang County, and let the officials and troops of Yunyang block Zhushan, and strictly guard against it.

In the end, Zuo Liangyu led the troops to pursue alone.

……

Under the mountain pass, Zuo Liangyu also fought hard, and more than a dozen bowl-mouth guns were almost used as mortars.

However, more than a dozen projectiles the size of a child's fist hit the mountain col like a stone sinking into the sea, and the range of the scattered projectiles was not enough, so they could only listen to a sound to scare and scare people.

Although the slope of this col is not steep, it is only about 200 meters wide, and a maximum of 1,000 people can reach the sky at a time.

Five attacks were launched in one morning, and they were easily repulsed by a group of heroes.

Zuo Dashuai originally wanted to let the firecrackers and archers cover and replicate the pattern of the last time again.

But Qin Yu also let the firecrackers and archers help in the battle, and behind the butts of those defensive heroes, they are even more against the warlords, and whoever escapes will kill them.

The 200-meter-wide col was defended by a maximum of 1,000 men, and the three barracks took turns to go up, plus the fortifications to be built and the wood to be prepared, so there was no pressure at all.

There are 1,000 female soldiers who have saved the dead and helped the wounded, which has virtually improved the combat effectiveness of the troops.

It's no longer like before for fear of being slashed and being scalded by dung.

It is precisely because of this that in the siege war a while ago, those thousands of heroes were able to hurt so much and still not collapse, so they dared to brave the dung splashed by the other party and climb with a shield.

Zuo Liangyu killed and injured more than 1,000 people, and he didn't even do hand-to-hand combat with the thief army, and Qin Ming's performance was even worse in the afternoon, and he only rushed halfway up the mountain.

For two days in a row, the officers and soldiers suffered three or four thousand casualties, but there was no sign of being able to capture the mountain pass, Xiong Wencan's face was as black as charcoal, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Overseer, you can't attack like this tomorrow, otherwise my soldiers and horses will have to bomb the camp."

"General Qin, you really brought a good soldier, more than 10,000 troops, only more than 1,000 people were killed or wounded, and you told the governor that you wanted to bomb the camp?"

"Supervisor, it's not that the last general is incompetent, but this kind of oil war is really a taboo for soldiers, and the brothers are unwilling to send them to death, and forced persecution will only mutiny." Qin Ming spread his hands with a single face.

Zuo Liangyu saw Xiong Wencan looking over, and said with the same face: "Supervisor, the general has carefully observed in the past two days, the thief army is very strong, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, and our army can't spread out, if we continue to attack like this, in the end, not only will the army be damaged, but the morale will also be greatly damaged, and I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger of being wiped out, so I have to think of another strategy." ”

Compared with Qin Ming, Zuo Liangyu has to look deeper, knowing that if he continues to fight, it will not be them who encircle and suppress the anti-thieves, but the anti-thieves who will fight them.

"Then does General Zuo have a good strategy to break the enemy?"

Xiong Wencan saw that what he said was so scary, and his face became solemn, and there were indeed some complaints in the two military armies.

"For today's plan, either divide the troops and make a detour, or let Yunyang organize an army to attack Zhushan again."

"So, Brother Zuo is willing to take the soldiers and horses to take the trail to attack Zhushan County?"

"The surname is Qin, you don't fart, when did Lao Tzu say this?" Zuo Liangyu was furious, pointed at his nose and jumped to his feet and scolded.

Apparently the two have a grudge.

"The surname Zuo was proposed by you, if you don't go, do you still want Lao Tzu to go?" Qin Ming scolded without showing weakness.

"Enough, do you still have Bendu in your eyes?"

Xiong Wencan slapped the table and roared angrily.

Both of them tilted their heads to the side and were silent, while Liu Guoneng on the side squinted, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Yunyang's guards have just experienced a major defeat, and their self-protection is still insufficient, where can they send troops and horses to attack Zhushan? As for the soldiers and horses in other places, the distant water can't solve the close fire, so there is only one way to divide the troops. ”

There was silence in the big tent for a long time, and Xiong Wencan said in a deep voice, and then looked at Zuo Liangyu on the left.

"General Soldier Zuo, you have been fighting against thieves from all walks of life for many years, you have made many miraculous achievements, you have rich experience, and your soldiers and horses are also good at field attacks, so this governor decided to order you to lead your troops to make a detour to attack Zhushan County, do you have any objections?"

"The superintendent has an order, how dare the last general disobey? But there is a cloud in the art of war, every forest is not entered, every valley is not entered, several small roads have been sent by people to carefully check, they have long been blocked by anti-thieves, if you want to make a detour to sneak attack, you can only give up grain and grass to go over the mountains and mountains, but a bad one is the end of the whole army.

Therefore, the last general is willing to retreat to Gucheng, and then go north to Yunyang, then south to Baihe, and take Zhuxi Avenue, but the last general's troops are greatly damaged, and please let Liu Garrison go with the last general. ”

Zuo Liangyu hugged his fists and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

If he wants to take his soldiers and horses over the mountains and mountains to sneak attack Zhushan County, it is absolutely impossible.

"Supervisor, don't do it, the thief army is strong, once Brother Zuo leads the troops away, the anti-thieves take advantage of the situation to kill, I'm afraid I can't stop it with my more than 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

Qin Ming pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, immediately understanding that Zuo Liangyu was trying to harm him.

"Hehe, didn't Qin Zongbing feel ashamed when he said this? Those anti-thieves are just a group of rabble, according to the mountain pass, we can't do anything about them, is it possible that in the field, you are a dignified commander-in-chief, and you can't beat a group of anti-thieves? ”

"Hehe, since it's a rabble, why did Brother Zuo almost wipe out the whole army last time?"

"How many times has Lao Tzu said it, it was careless, and he was overlooked for a while, so he was ambushed, can it be the same? If I had fought in a dignified manner, I would have been able to kill them with 2,000 men. ”

Zuo Liangyu saw that he was revealing his scars at every turn, and he also hated itchy.

Seeing that the two of them were tearing each other apart at every turn, Xiong Wencan also had a headache, and what the two said made sense, and they didn't know whether to divide the troops for a while.

And for several days, the two were arguing constantly.

Zuo Liangyu was killed and refused to go over the mountains and mountains to take the trail, and if he wanted to go, he would take the avenue.

Qin Ming was killed and did not agree to let him take Liu Guoneng away, and if he wanted to leave, he had to leave the dozen cannons and firecrackers.

These cannons and firearms were all purchased by Zuo Dashuai at a great price, and they were his killer weapons, how could they be handed over to Qin Ming to command?

Qin Yu saw that the official army had not moved for several days, and he was also happy, so he let Niu Er guard the mountain pass, and he returned to the county seat to continue training soldiers and horses.

The hunters in the mountains have long been bought by him, so they are not afraid of a sneak attack by the officials and soldiers at all, and he wishes that they would come to sneak attack.
