Chapter 103: The Dragon Has Three Heads
Lu Fang, who commanded this luring ambush from a high place, originally hoped that the defeated army would roll up the bead curtain and disrupt the new army that had just arrived, so that he could lead his troops to counterattack and fight a great victory, so as to use this battle to prove that the new army was vulnerable and persuade the Qianghu tribes to join him.
But the old spicy of the new army Sima was beyond Lu Fang's imagination.
However, seeing that Wu Lun gave an order, the officers used crossbows to shoot, although their movements were still a little rusty and trembling, but they were obeying the orders of the military Sima and shooting their allies mercilessly.
Luo Jun waited for someone to turn over on his back, and he himself fell to the ground, face down, only raised his head and stretched out his hand forward, and wanted to help the fifth Lun pull brother, and shouted unwillingly.
"Boyu Sima, I shot wrong, we are allies!"
My fifth Lun is an ally!
As for the soldiers who followed, they were stunned by this sudden stray arrow, the rebels in the west were relentlessly pursuing, and the east was a rain of arrows that did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and they did not know what to do.
As the Fifth Lun Sword swung down again, another burst of dense hailstones struck, and after shooting down more than ten people, the other rout soldiers reacted, and no longer dared to sweep its edge head-on, only fleeing left and right.
Zang Nu wound the crossbow for the third time, he had enough arm strength, others used the standard six-stone crossbow, he used the eight-stone crossbow, and he didn't need to use his feet, he could directly use his hands to match his waist strength.
It's a little embarrassing to say, although Fang Cai shot a friendly soldier, Zang was angry, but he only felt more happy than shooting a thief! Who let these so-called "pawns" be arrogant and rude in the past few days, and often bully the people along the way.
"It's so ruthless." Lu Fang couldn't help but smack his tongue after seeing everything, and he didn't even have time to call back his own people.
was fooled and lame by Lu Fang, believing that he was really a descendant of the Han family, and the townsman who was named "Dadu Lieutenant" was chasing the new army just now, and at this moment he was riding a horse, taking the Qiang Hu horsemen to reproduce the style of Luo Junhou, and rushed forward with a roar, and also suffered a burst of arrows.
The captain was unlucky, and he fell directly to death, and fell next to Luo Junhou, and the rest of the people immediately retreated, refusing to step forward.
Just now they took advantage of the narrow valley, and when they took advantage of Luo Junhou's subordinates to loot the chariots, they suddenly killed from both sides, and caught the new army by surprise.
But if you fight face-to-face, whether it is Qianghu riding or vain, the equipment is not as good as the opposite, and the order is not as good, it is better to continue to play the trick of luring the enemy into the depths.
So Lu Fang asked people to blow the horn, ordered the troops to retreat, scratched their heads at the mouth of the valley, and deliberately insulted to attract the fifth battalion into the valley.
However, the Fifth Battalion turned a deaf ear and stood still in place, and the Fifth Battalion was also aware of its own advantages: probably because of the early training in its standing posture in the past few months, the Fifth Battalion's defense was a must.
When the rout and thief cavalry rushed just now, although the pig warriors were scared, their footsteps were like being nailed, and if they didn't move, they didn't move! All kinds of tactical actions can also be trained according to weekdays and subconsciously executed.
But once they move, they will definitely be exposed in their original form, and instantly turn into a bunch of stragglers, isn't that sacrificing their strengths and weaknesses?
So, the two rookies stopped pecking each other, so they stared at each other!
The two sides are separated by a mile, shouting and scolding in their respective dialects, greeting the female relatives of the other party's family, noisy and ugly, but if you listen carefully, you will find that you want to say a sentence: "You come here!" ”
Seeing that the battle was stalemate before the battle began, Lu Fang knew that he couldn't afford to delay, so he only sighed that his luck was not good.
Although he has no culture, his vision is still good, and ten years ago he felt that the world might not be stable for too long, and he has been planning for several years, and finally has today's trend.
Lu Fang really wanted to take Sanshui County as a base camp, Sanshui County governs the city of Tuofu Spring, which can be naturally irrigated, and the left and right valleys are suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, and can raise thousands of soldiers.
And with the help of the Qianghu tribe, the east crosses the Qinglong Mountain to reach the hinterland of the north, and the south is close to the Chaona Xiao Pass, which can enter the Guanzhong.
In the north, if you can seize it, you can not only store troops and accumulate grain with the rich ditch plains, but also communicate with the Xiongnu and rely on foreign aid.
If you can get the support of Dadanyu, when the world changes, you can hold high the banner of the Han family and recruit warriors from the six counties, you can really do a career, and it is a perfect place to start.
It's a pity that Lu Fang was greedy, made a wrong move, and sent his younger brother to recruit Na Ma Qushuai who made a mistake, and was dumped by the fifth Lun, which led to the official army to suppress him, and he had to raise things in advance, but there were few responders.
It seems that the people of the six counties of Biansai have not yet reached the point where they are completely unable to survive.
Fortunately, Sanshui is still west of Luo Mountain, surrounded by arid land, only Luo Mountain is like a piece of jade on the Loess Plateau, the forest is dense, you can take advantage of the mountain forest, escape at any time. The new army was brutal and killing prisoners was commonplace, and Lu Fang's subordinates could only follow him.
Seeing that there was a great victory in an ambush and the opportunity to regain people's hearts was gone, Lu Fang only collected his troops and asked his troops to retreat west into the depths of Luoshan Mountain, and then make plans. Only before leaving, he hated to look back and looked at the fifth camp road that had ruined his big things:
"This king took the initiative to move the capital, and he will come back sooner or later!"
……
Seeing that Lu Fang had retreated into Luo Mountain, the seventh biao asked for battle: "Sect Master, do you want to chase it?" ”
"What are you chasing, are you waiting for an ambush?" The fifth shook his head, don't enter the forest, don't look at the confrontation between the fifth battalion and the enemy, and after getting into the mountains and being ambushed, it will break and flee no different from the main pawns of the new army.
The first battle of the fifth battalion ended hastily, and the fifth Lun asked people to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Yu jumped over and tried it, and then came back to tell the fifth Lun that it turned out that Luo Junhou was still alive, but he was seriously injured.
"No, you're wrong, Luo Junhou is dead."
Fifth Lun's tone was cold, and he glanced at Seventh Biao, Brother Biao was the most suitable for dirty work, and led the order with a smile.
A dead man who can't quibble, it's convenient to throw the pot, you were the one who defected in the front battle, and you were the one who delayed the fifth battalion's pursuit of the enemy and caused Lu Fang to escape, so you didn't have to run.
As for the rest of the new army, they died in vain, and those who survived did not dare to approach the fifth battalion by half a step.
also captured a few traitor captives who were not dead after being shot by crossbow arrows, and they confessed that it was Lu Fang's "Grand Captain" who rushed over on horseback and died just now.
Although the 5th Battalion was unscathed, only a few of the non-commissioned officers had twisted their feet in a hurry. But on the whole, Liang Qiuci killed a soldier under his command, with more than 100 casualties, and only beheaded a "Grand Captain" plus a few rebels, some of which outweighed the losses.
After the fifth Lun returned to report, he thought that Liang Qiuci would be annoyed and felt that he had missed a great achievement. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, his face was as usual, even if he learned that Luo Junhou was dead, he was indifferent, and only asked people to come up with a head, so that Wan Xu, who was known as Ren Xia, could identify him.
"Look at it, is this Ma Qushuai?"
Wan Yu was shocked, and when he looked closely, it turned out that it was not Ma Yuan, but an ugly pockmarked face, probably picked out by Liang Qiuci from among the people who surrendered in Zuogu City.
"Yes or no?" Liang Qiuci's tone was aggravated, and the fifth Lun hurriedly coughed twice, and Wan Yu said stubbornly, this is the thief leader Ma Qushuai.
"Hahaha, Ma Qu Shuai came to rescue Zuo Gu, and was beheaded by the captain of this school, and the Ma bandits have been exterminated!"
Liang Qiuci was in a good mood, and Wu Lun stepped forward to confess that he failed to catch Lu Fang.
Captain Liangqiu changed his face again, and casually pointed to a head with the characteristics of Qiang Hu's appearance and said, "Bo Yu is really confused, haven't you already beheaded Lu Fang's head to sacrifice?" ”
Fifth Lun was stunned, yes, why didn't he think of it?
Liang Qiuci said proudly: "Lu Fang is dead, the rebellion has been quelled, even if someone comes out of the mountains in the future, it is probably his brother and son who are impersonating, and it is difficult to become a climate." ”
Captain Liangqiu, you're a talent!
This operation made the fifth Lun breathtaking, it seems that if you want to mix in the new army, you really can't be embarrassed.
But only a moment later, the fifth Lun discovered the existence of a chess opponent with Liang Qiuci.
But it was the subordinate order of Anding County, and finally rushed to Zuogu City with the county soldiers, Liang Qiuci wanted to show off the "Lu Fangtou" he had beheaded to the subordinate order, but unexpectedly, the opposite side took the first step to provoke a head with a spear.
The subordinate commander of Anding stood on the chariot and laughed: "Captain Liangqiu, I didn't expect it, although you captured Zuogu first, the traitor Lu Fang fled to the south with a few followers, and it happened to be beheaded by our department!" The captive is here! ”
……
The two "Lu Fangtou" with different looks and ages became the absurd end of this comical counterinsurgency.
However, the fifth Lun knew that these two were fakes, and with the one that Lu Fang still had on his neck, this "King of Lixiping of the Great Han Zuogu" had three heads.
If Lu Fang is smart enough, he will definitely make a fake come true and make a big publicity, claiming to have three heads and six arms, and he will not die no matter how he cuts it.
Maybe Lu Fang can use this story to coax a group of foolish men and women from the northwest corner and follow them willingly.
However, Liang Qiuci and Anding were under the order, arguing endlessly over which of the first level was true and which was false, and they had no choice but to send each other to their bosses to report their merits.
In this regard, Anding County, which is closer to Jingshi than Han Wei, undoubtedly has a huge advantage.
A few days later, in Gaoping (Guyuan, Ningxia), the capital of Anding County, after King Yin Xiang received the order of his subordinates, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately wrote a note, asking the post rider to take the lead and send it to Chang'an as soon as possible.
Wang Xiang is the son of the imperial prince and one of the "five marquises", Ping'ahou Wang Tan, and he is very aware of his cousin Wang Mang's temperament.
"This Lu Fang is plotting rebellion in Anding County, and I, as Da Yin, actually didn't notice it, and I had to be reminded by General Tunhu to send county soldiers to suppress it."
"If Lu Fang is beheaded by Anding County, then I can still make up for it, otherwise, I'm afraid that I will be punished!"
"As long as you send it quickly enough, wait for the Son of Heaven to promulgate a reward, and set it to make an edict, after you regret it, the fake will come true!"
After galloping day and night for eight days, he arrived in Beijing at the tail of July, and delivered Wang Xiang's song to the Dasima Mansion together with the "Zhen ● Lu Fangtou", and then passed it into the Shoucheng room.
However, in the Shoucheng room at this moment, the atmosphere is very delicate, from the ministers of Jiuqing to Xiao Huangmen, they are all cautious, for fear of touching the emperor unpleasantly.
It turned out that a few days ago, at the noon day of the seventh month, a strange natural disaster occurred in Beijing, and a heavy thunderstorm swept from the northwest, destroying houses and destroying trees.
The hundred-year-old elm tree in the southeast corner of the Zhaoning Hall in the palace also fell in the strong wind, just smashed the west wall of Dongyong Lane, and was pressing on the East Pavilion.
That's it, what's even worse is that even the imperial palace "Wang Lu Hall", that is, the front hall of the Han Dynasty, was also damaged, and was destroyed by the gale and destroyed the west chamber and the back pavilion dressing room.
The damage to property caused by broken walls and tiles, and even the death and injury of people are trivial matters, and what the emperor and his ministers are most concerned about is what this strange celestial phenomenon portends. Is it a hint of instability in the court? Is it a sign of great changes in the northwest?
The emperor has not been in court for several days, from the national teacher Liu Xin, the national general Wai Zhang, to the persuasion of Hou Cuifa, the unification of the Hou Chen Chong, etc., are frequently summoned by Wang Mang to discuss the meaning of this matter.
Some people in the court vaguely suggested that it might be related to the use of troops against the Xiongnu in the northwest, which caused Wang Mang to be furious. Does this indicate that the Huns will be like a violent wind, driving straight into Chang'an? In this case, it shows the correctness of Yu's initiative to attack the Huns!
Paranoid to such an extent that someone just shouted "Hu of the dead newcomer".
And Liu Xin observed the celestial phenomena for Wang Mang, and found that the moon deviated from its orbit today, which was a sign of great calamity.
It just so happened that I received a report from Anding County today, and many people learned that there was such a big rebellion at the junction of Anding and Weirong in the northwest. Lu Fang's deeds are not only funny, but also a little more worried, after all, the rebellion of Dongfang Haidai and Southern Jingyang has lasted for two years, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.
"I see!"
At this time, the national general who relied on patting the sycophants and offering Fu Rui to the throne patted his head and said:
"Although the gale damaged the side room of the Wang Lu Hall, the main hall was not damaged at all, and the wind passed in an instant, isn't it just like this ridiculous rebellion, although it almost caused a small problem in the elbow and armpit of the edge, but it was instantly pacified by my Daxin Wang Shi? It seems that this is not a disaster, but a good omen of great victory! ”
