Chapter 457, Victory and Defeat Ordinary Events 7

Qin Liangyu looked at the terrain here, it is very suitable for ambush operations, although the Shizi River is not too wide, but the water flow is relatively fast, it is a little difficult for ordinary people to swim across, and they can only use the stone bridge on the river, so she ambushed the men and horses in the mountains and forests in the distance, and when she saw Zhang Xianzhong crossing half of the men and horses, she launched a surprise attack. ใ€Fengyun Reading Network. ใ€‘

Qin Liangyu's original intention was to rush with superior forces and crush the formation of the peasant army, as long as the peasant army front collapsed, they would panic and escape, and under the persecution of her army, they would inevitably be pressed into the river.

But to her surprise, Li Dingguo, who crossed the river first, actually behaved very calm and brave, and actually brought thousands of cavalry to meet him, you know, Qin Liangyu attacked with all his strength this time, 30,000 horses did not camp, all of them were brought over, and the same was true when charging, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was in the rear, the whole line was pressed, there was no reserve, she was ready to fight with all her might.

Li Dingguo's 3,000 cavalry collided with the cavalry of the official army in an instant, and his impact was like building a steel dam on the ground, so that the officers and troops rushing like a flood were immediately blocked, and they could not break through Li Dingguo's cavalry for a while, and the two sides were mixed together.

The vanguard of the official army is Qin Liangyu's nephew Qin Yiming, this person is also a brave general, when he saw Li Dingguo with someone killed, he yelled excitedly, raised his mace, and went straight to Li Dingguo to kill, Li Dingguo in the melee with the official army, also overturned more than a dozen people, and was killing sexually, suddenly a black light flashed in front of him, and a black iron rod hit him head-on, powerful and fierce, and extremely fast.

Fortunately, Li Dingguo's eyes were quick, he turned back the iron gun, and with a bang, he sealed the iron rod, and Dingqing took a look, there was a general in front of him, black helmet, black armor and black robe, stepping off the oolong horse, like a dark cloud. And Li Dingguo is dressed in silver and white, silver helmet, silver armor and white robe, riding a white dragon horse, and the two members will be one black and one white, which is really eye-catching.

These two people killed together, just like Zhang Fei met Ma Chao, tumbling and rolling for dozens of rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat. The people on both sides of the side were fighting without stopping, and at the same time loudly cheering for their main general, hoping that their own people would be able to knock each other off the horse.

Taking advantage of Li Dingguo's blocking of the official army, Zhang Xianzhong urgently ordered the rest of the men and horses to cross the river, with the cavalry giving priority and the infantry behind, and crossing the bridge in turn.

Every time a cavalry team passed, they urged their horses to join the warband, so that there were more and more people on the battlefield, and the circle became larger and larger.

Qin Liangyu saw that his men and horses couldn't take much advantage, and gave another order, lighting two puffs of wolf smoke.

Zhang Xianzhong saw the cigarettes lit in the middle of the official army, thought that there were ambushes, and hurriedly looked around, but after looking at it, he didn't find any officers and soldiers killed, and he was puzzled for a while.

But at this time, they suddenly heard a strange sound not far away, and everyone looked sideways and was taken aback.

It turned out that not far away, a white line appeared, mixed with the sound of thousands of horses galloping, rushing towards this place. When they got closer, everyone saw clearly that it was a torrent, more than a foot high, rushing and roaring, splashing the sky.

Zhang Xianzhong had also crossed the river at this time, and Tang Sai'er's sister and brother followed closely beside him, and they were also taken aback.

In the blink of an eye, the river rushed in front of me, and the stone bridges were only three or four feet high from the river, and such a large flow of water suddenly did not cross the bridge deck. The peasant army, which was crossing the river on the bridge deck, was immediately rushed into the river, rising and falling down the river, rushing into the distance.

With the impact of the water, the stone bridges gradually could not withstand it, the stones began to crack, the bridge began to loosen, and finally could not support the bridge deck, only to hear a few rumbling sounds, all three stone bridges collapsed, and the stones fell into the river.

As soon as the stone bridge was broken, the peasant armies on both sides were immediately separated. There were more than 10,000 peasant troops who did not cross the river, and only 16,000 people crossed the river, and under the command of Zhang Xianzhong and Tang Sai'er, they fought desperately with the officials and soldiers.

It turned out that Qin Liangyu had designed this early in the morning, and after she arrived at Shizihe, she chose this place as the battlefield, and then sent a deputy general to go straight upstream, with a thousand officers and soldiers, to block the river. They blocked the river with sandbags and reeds, built a high embankment, and slowly held the water level of the Shizi River to a high level, waiting for the wolf smoke to be lit in the middle of the official army, and then the embankment was opened and the water was released to flood the peasant army.

This plan is really powerful, no matter how smart Zhang Xianzhong and Tang Sai'er are, they can't expect this trick, because they have just arrived here and are not familiar with the terrain and landform of this place.

Qin Liangyu took advantage of the geographical advantage and separated Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses with a water attack plan, and then as soon as she saw that this plan was successful, she immediately ordered that the whole army attack fiercely and must capture Zhang Xianzhong alive.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was also anxious, he knew that his men and horses were already fighting against the water, and if they didn't work hard, they would be killed on the spot if they were not forced into the water. Therefore, he drew his broadsword and ordered Li Dingguo and others to fight to the death, and at the same time he issued an urgent order to the men and horses on the other side of the river, telling them to build a pontoon bridge and cross the river as quickly as possible.

The leader of the team in the back will be Liu Wenxiu, without Zhang Xianzhong's orders, he has already ordered his subordinates to cut down trees, make simple wooden valves, and then use these wooden valves to build pontoon bridges. On the one hand, in order for his own people to be able to pass, on the other hand, in order to be able to take Zhang Xianzhong to retire.

It stands to reason that thousands of people would not be troublesome to make pontoon bridges, but Qin Liangyu was very powerful and had already thought of this trick, so he had already sent people to burn all the woods near the river bank in advance, and it was impossible to cut down wood.

Liu Wenxiu then understood why the woods were burned, and he was so angry that he scolded Qin Liangyu for being cunning, he wanted to order the men and horses to swim across, but as soon as a few people went down, they were swept away by the current, and they couldn't reach the other side at all. Liu Wenxiu frowned, thinking about countermeasures.

In her eagerness, Tang Sai'er came to the river, she looked at the current, and shouted to the other side: "General Liu, shoot the rope with an arrow." โ€

Liu Wenxiu listened to Tang Sai'er's words, and immediately ordered hundreds of archers to tie ropes to the arrows and shoot to the opposite bank.

When the arrows reached the opposite bank, Tang Sayer ordered the ropes to be tied to the horses, or a dozen people to tighten them firmly, and both sides did so, so that in the blink of an eye, hundreds of ropes were pulled up on the surface of the river, forming hundreds of rope bridges.

When the rope bridge was erected, Liu Wenxiu ordered his men to immediately grab the rope and climb to the opposite bank, although a rope can only go up to one person at a time, but hundreds of ropes can pass hundreds of people at the same time.

Zhang Xianzhong raised his big finger, laughed, and praised Tang Sai'er: "The military advisor is really smart......

Before the words fell, countless crossbow arrows were shot from the official army array, which landed on both sides of the riverbank, and immediately shot down dozens of people.

Tang Sai'er and Liu Wenxiu shouted at the same time: "The shield hand covers ......"

Hundreds of shield-bearers raised their shields to protect those who were pulling the ropes, so when the second wave of arrows from the officers and soldiers came, they didn't hit many people, and Liu Wenxiu's men were crawling across the river at a rapid pace.

Qin Liangyu saw that Zhang Xianzhong was not afraid of danger and had the style of a general, and she couldn't help frowning, she could have won this battle, but it was a big pity that she couldn't catch Zhang Xianzhong, so she ordered to continue the onslaught.

Zhang Xianzhong saw that his men and horses were crossing the river quickly, and his heart was a little calmer, he knew that with Tang Sai'er by the river, nothing would happen, so he was engrossed in the battlefield in front of him.

At this time, Li Dingguo and Qin Yiming did not distinguish the winner or loser, Qin Yiming was known as "Little Qin Ming" in Sichuan, and he was praised for being like a thunderbolt in the Water Margin, not only like weapons, martial arts, but also like temper, very violent.

He wielded a mace, and wanted to smash Li Dingguo off the horse in a dozen rounds, but after forty or fifty photos in a row, the two of them were equal, and no one could win anyone, so anxious that Qin Yiming screamed violently, and his head was full of fire.

The two generals fought inextricably, and their men and horses were also soldiers, generals and generals, and they all fought to their deaths. The officers and troops in Sichuan have always been brave, and Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses are not bad, and they can also fight evil battles, so the two sides are mixed up in one place and killed together, and it is impossible to see who has the upper hand in a short time.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the trumpets in the distance, Zhang Xianzhong looked sideways, and the smoke and dust rose in front of him, and another group of men and horses were killed, holding a big banner, which was the banner of the official army.

It turned out that after Qin Liangyu learned that Wanxian County was broken, Starry Night led the army to Chongqing, and at the same time she ordered someone to fly to report to Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, asking him to send troops to reinforce, according to Qin Liangyu's idea, Zhang Xianzhong could be surrounded on the way to Chongqing.

After receiving Qin Liangyu's request, Chen Shiqi also thought that Chongqing should not be lost, so he immediately sent his general Zeng Yu to lead 20,000 horses to reinforce Qin Liangyu.

Along the way, Zeng Yu sent a newspaper to inquire about Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts, and as Qin Liangyu said, Zhang Xianzhong took the whole army and horses and was rushing to Chongqing. He immediately hurried and finally intercepted Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses at Shizihe.

Zeng Yu was walking, someone came to report, saying that there were two teams of men and horses by the Shizi River, and they were fighting in the dark, and among them were the men and horses of the official army, which was Qin Liangyu. Zeng Yu was overjoyed, it seemed that Qin Liangyu had intercepted Zhang Xianzhong, and he came at the right time.

He immediately ordered a fire attack.

Zeng Yu brought 20,000 horses, all of them were new forces, and when he saw that there were ready-made cheap ones to be fished, which one did not rush to be the first, so he shouted and pounced.

Zhang Xianzhong was fighting desperately with Qin Liangyu, and suddenly saw reinforcements from the official army, and there were many people and horses, and the morale was high, so he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ordered Sun Kewang to bring 3,000 men and horses to block Zeng Yu.

Sun Kewang led 3,000 men to rush up, and after a while, most of the 3,000 men and horses were killed and wounded, he retreated back and shouted: "Father, the officers and troops are powerful, we are surrounded, we can't fight, we have to rush out quickly." โ€
