Chapter Ninety-Five: The Five Ridges Pass is broken

Seeing the elephant rushing closer and closer, the recruits standing at the front couldn't help but start to get nervous, Lin Dahong sighed and said, "Okay, the distance is enough, bombardier, prepare explosives." ”

Hearing this order, Meng Qiao's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately waved the order flag, and some strong men with naked upper bodies and big waists walked to the front of the battle, and Xiang Jie, who was standing on the city wall and watching the battle here, also saw it, Xiang Jie shook his head and said to the left and right: "The general of the Tang Army is really a straw bag, do you think that these strong men can fight with elephants?" It's ridiculous. ”

"Haha, our army will win." The generals hurriedly chimed in.

As soon as the words fell, a lot of sparkling things were thrown out of the Tang army's position, and then fell into the elephant soldiers' group, and the roaring explosions came and went, and the entire elephant soldiers' battle array was completely chaotic, and the elephants were frightened by the gunpowder and scurried everywhere, and the Yelang people were killed and injured countless times.

Xiang Jie and others were also taken aback, at this time Lin Dahong immediately ordered the whole army to charge, and the army followed the elephant soldiers and rushed in the direction of Wuling Pass, Xiang Jie immediately ordered: "The whole army will go to the city, repel the Tang army, and quickly block the city gate with bricks and stones." ”

Because the barbarian was riding the elephant king, he escaped, but when he came to the front of the Wuling Pass, he found that the soldiers who had escaped by luck were shot one by one by the Southern Chu army under the city wall, and he was very sad in his heart, and knelt down in the direction of Yelang Country and said: "Patriarch, my barbarian is the sinner of the family, and I sacrificed all the last hope of the Yeli family here." After saying that, the barbarian raised his sword and cut himself.

The scene of Barbarian suicide happened to be seen by Xiang Jie, Xiang Jie not only had no sympathy at all, but also scolded angrily: "Waste, hurt my morale." The other tribes who had come to help in the war couldn't help but shudder when they heard this.

But now the arrow has to be sent, the Tang army jumped over the elephant soldiers, has been in the city, with Xiang Jie's order, suddenly a piece of wood, stone thrown down from the city wall, the Tang army was stoned to death many people, Lin Dahong saw this and immediately Ming Jin retreated.

In this short battle, the Tang army basically wiped out the elephant soldiers unscathed at the beginning, but when they arrived at the city, they were killed and wounded by the Southern Chu army.

Lin Dahong is actually not very satisfied with this battle, Lin Dahong is a veteran general on the battlefield, and naturally knows what kind of state the real elite soldiers are, those elites are generally quiet as a mountain, they advance and retreat freely when they hear the drums, they receive the gold, advance and retreat freely, and they are not afraid, and now it seems that their army is still far away.

Meng Qiao and Lin Dahong have been together for a long time, and naturally know that their coach's temper is the strongest, so Meng Qiao smiled and comforted: "Lin Shuai, it is already very good to have such an achievement, there is no need to be too harsh." ”

Lin Dahong nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Meng, pass the order, and the personnel who dig the tunnels will speed up the progress, and strive to reach the Wuling Pass tomorrow night." ”

"No, handsome."

After speaking, Lin Dahong put on his clothes again, and then took Meng Qiao to inspect, which is the characteristic of the Changsha Army, no matter how tired he is, the commander and the chief of staff will inspect the entire military camp every day.

At this time, at the Wuling Pass, Xiang Jie was also convening the generals to discuss the military situation, because there were many tribes in Southern Chu, so many tribal leaders were also gathered on the Wuling Pass, but Xiang Jie was strict in governing the army, so even the tribal leaders did not dare to stab in front of Xiang Jie.

Xiang Jie looked at the topographic map of Wuling Pass and frowned and said: "You have all seen the power of the Tang Dynasty gunpowder, so you must not let the gunpowder close to the city wall tomorrow, especially at the city gate, hurry up and repair it tonight, and block it all." ”

"Obey the general's orders, fight to the death tomorrow, and don't retreat." The generals replied immediately.

After Xiang Jie set the strategy, everyone dispersed, and at this time, a guy wearing a small soldier's costume sneakily came to the tent and whispered: "General, now the soldiers of the tribes are a little unstable, and the resentment is very deep. ”

Xiang Jie replied indifferently: "Don't worry about them, they are not dissatisfied for a day or two, the reason why Your Majesty sent these tribal soldiers to our Wuling Pass is to think that you can twist them into a rope and make them die for Da Chu, and now it seems that Ben Shuai and Your Majesty have made their own feelings." ”

"Dashuai, what should I do next? If this goes on for a long time, the general is afraid that it will affect the morale of the army. ”

Xiang Jie said hideously: "Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, let the tribal soldiers go to the city wall tomorrow, and it is in line with me to use the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to consume them." ”

"No, the last general will obey the order......" After speaking, the person quietly retreated.

After the people left, only Xiang Jie was left in the tent, Xiang Jie rubbed his forehead and muttered: "Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, do you really want to kill them all?" The current Da Chu no longer has the ability to restore the country, is it possible that he can't even live in a remote corner? ”

If Li Jun was there, when he heard this, he would definitely reply to Xiang Jie: "How can you allow others to sleep peacefully in the place where you are lying on the couch?" "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords on the earth, which is the reason of the world.

The next day, Xiang Jie's expected fierce battle did not come, Lin Dahong still sent an army to attack the city, but left after a little contact, many Southern Chu generals felt that the Tang army was exhausted, so the heart of the enemy slowly spread in the Southern Chu army, but Xiang Jie has always had an ominous premonition, as far as Xiang Jie knows, the little emperor who went to the Southern Chu Tang Dynasty was given a death order, and it is impossible to have a situation like now.

In order to prevent the Tang army from cheating, Xiang Jie tentatively sent 5,000 troops to take the initiative to attack, Lin Dahong saw that the Southern Chu army came out to kill itself and sneered: "Xiang Jie is called a famous general in vain, although the use of troops is okay, but too cautious, there are only 50,000 defenders in Wuling Pass, yesterday 5,000 elephant soldiers have been annihilated by our army, and now these 5,000 people are destroyed, even if our army can't capture Wuling Pass, it is also victorious." ”

"Haha, the handsome and wise, leave such trivial matters to the last general, and the last general will guarantee that the Southern Chu soldiers will not enter the customs." Meng Qiao said with a laugh.

Lin Dahong nodded and said, "When the chief of staff goes to war, the commander is naturally relieved." ”

Meng Qiao bowed his hand to Lin Dahong, and then took his own five thousand soldiers and horses to fight, Xiang Jie learned the lesson of yesterday's elephant soldiers, so this time the soldiers were all infantry, after all, gunpowder is relatively speaking, and the impact on animals is greater.

Meng Qiao also led the five thousand infantry to move forward slowly, at this time there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the two armies finally came into close contact, the dark clouds hissed in the sky and pierced the thunder and lightning, and the blood-red smell diffused over the dead and noisy ruins. The wails and sword shadows that had just dissipated bloomed in the wind again, and the accumulated remnants were hideous and terrifying, and the thick aura made people almost suffocate. At this moment, half of the remaining soldiers on both sides have fallen, this is the first bloody battle since the formation of the Changsha Army, and now it is time to compete with the willpower of both sides.

Everyone tried their last bit of strength, at this time, the main body of the Southern Chu army was affected by gunpowder, as soon as the handsome flag fell, the balance of the entire victory was tilted on the side of the Changsha army, the Southern Chu army broke and fled, and the Changsha army directly chased under the city wall of Wulingguan before collecting troops.

After the war, Lin Dahong counted the results of the battle, and was not surprised, Xiang Jie deserved to be called a famous general in Southern Chu, in just one hour of fierce fighting, the Changsha army lost nearly 2,000 people, of course, the Southern Chu side was not happy, and there were very few 5,000 soldiers who could go back.

Lin Dahong stepped into the wounded barracks, the current wounded barracks are very different from before, the soldiers would rather die in battle than enter the wounded barracks, because the environment of the wounded barracks is bad, and entering the wounded barracks is no different from waiting for death.

Now it is very different, with the strong support of His Majesty, the Huashan Divine Doctor has greatly improved the wounded barracks of all the main battle armies, so as soon as Lin Dahong stepped into the wounded barracks, he smelled a smell of wine, Lin Dahong is also a general in the wine, smelled this taste, and swallowed spit unconsciously.

A bearded captain is an old man who followed Lin Dahong, who also lives in the wounded barracks, saw Lin Dahong coming, and immediately prepared to stand up and salute, Lin Dahong hurriedly held down the captain and asked with a smile: "How is it?" How does it feel to be here? ”

"It's good, it's just that I heard that the people who take care of the wounded soldiers in the Beijing army are all big girls, why did they all become dwarfs when they arrived in our Changsha army? Also, that thing called alcohol is really wasted on the wound, so you might as well reward us. The lieutenant replied quietly.

Lin Dahong glared at the captain and said, "Look at your little bit of interest, the reason why our Changsha army is all dwarfs is that Lao Tzu took the initiative to ask for it, do you have any opinions?" Also, if you dare to drink that alcohol secretly, Lao Tzu will reward you with ten military sticks. ”

"No, handsome." The lieutenant replied immediately.

Lin Dahong walked around the entire wounded barracks and found that the mood of the wounded soldiers was fine, except for some seriously injured, everyone was talking and laughing.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, and the wounded soldiers were all veterans, and when they heard the loud noise, they immediately stood up, ready to find weapons to fight.

Lin Dahong was very satisfied with this effect, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be afraid, it is the movement of our army to bomb the city gate of Wuling Pass, and it is estimated that our army has broken through Wuling Pass now. ”

After hearing this, everyone threw away all the weapons in their hands, and the bearded lieutenant scolded and said, "Grandma, all the good things are taken by the family." ”

"Okay, complain less, recuperate well, break the Wuling Pass, some battles are waiting for us to fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish the fight when the time comes." Lin Dahong rebuked angrily.

At this time, the fire in Wuling Pass was soaring, and Lin Dahong was very relieved that he finally lived up to his trust and captured Wuling Pass.

When Wuling Pass was breached, Xiang Jie was sleeping, Xiang Jie was worthy of being a famous general, seeing that he was invincible, he took the lead in escaping, not in love with war at all, when he escaped from Wuling Pass, he was only followed by twenty-eight horsemen, Xiang Jie looked up to the sky and sighed: "Lin Dahong, the shame you gave to this Shuai today, and the Shuai will be doubled when he comes to Japan." ”

The defenders of Wuling Pass saw that the commander had fled, and the dragons had no leader, so they had to surrender on their knees, especially those tribal soldiers laid down their weapons the fastest, Xiang Jie was unkind, that is, the tribal soldiers did not want to follow Xiang Jie for a long time......
