Chapter 291: The Most Heart-Wrenching

In the north of Guizhou, Liu Dexiang, a thousand households of the 07th Thousand Men of Kunming Guard, stood on the hill on horseback, looking into the distance with a stern expression, followed by two fierce guards who were also riding horses.

Liu Dexiang was dressed in snow-bright armor, wearing a wind cloak that hung down to the horse's legs, his expression was extremely worried, a few days ago he had to report that the Qing army in Hubei had moved, and he was ordered to go to the front line of the Furong River to block it, but there was no exact news of the Qing army so far. In fact, he was more worried about the direction of Hengzhou, the news from there was getting tighter and tighter day by day, and he was worried about the son.

"A thousand households! Vice Sun Qianhu is here! A personal guard softly interrupted Liu Dexiang, who was frowning, and several fast horses in front of him galloped "tick-and-tick".

Liu Dexiang put down his thoughts, glanced back, then twisted the horse's head, and waited for the arrival of his deputy Sun Shalin.

"A thousand households! Do we still need to move forward? Sun Shalin asked loudly from afar, he was not wearing armor.

Liu Dexiang didn't answer, looked up at the sky, the sun was still early to go down!

"A thousand households! Not far away is the Furong River, where the troops will be separated according to the plan! Sun Shalin reminded. He gradually became a little dissatisfied with Liu Dexiang's silence, it stands to reason that he should be the thousand-household of the 07th thousand-person team, but who knew that a Liu Dexiang was parachuted, and the people who stayed next to the prince were popular.

Liu Dexiang understood what Sun Shalin meant, now that the Qing army is gone, if his own troops are hastily separated, not only will they not be able to resist the enemy, but they may also be calculated by the Qing army. According to the plan, after the 07,000-man team crossed the Furong River, it would divide its troops into three routes and search northward.

"The troops continue to advance, don't rush to cross the river after reaching the Furong River, and rest by the Furong River first." Liu Dexiang glanced at Sun Shalin's order.

Change your plans? Sun Shalin was stunned, this is the plan formulated by the Ministry of Health after discussion! Despite his misgivings, he complied with the instructions.

Liu Dexiang knew that Sun Shalin had ideas, and he hoped that he would say it, but when he saw that he just frowned, he didn't open his mouth, and he was disappointed in his heart. He had already felt the estrangement between the two, "Alas! He sighed softly, feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.

Two hours passed, and the detectives within a radius of thirty miles still did not find any trace of the Qing army, Liu Dexiang decided not to wait any longer, and ordered the troops to set off again. But as soon as the troops moved, a reprimand who had gone out and never returned suddenly came back to report that he had found Qing troops on the west bank of the river.

Liu Dexiang immediately made a decision, ordered his troops to retreat ten miles, and sent someone to quickly notify the Kunming Ministry of Health.

The Qing army, which suddenly appeared with about 2,000 men, marched extremely carefully, and chose to take remote paths. At the same time, they also discovered Liu Dexiang's department, and learned that the other party only had 1,000 people, only half of their own, and they decided to eat each other.

Later, when they learned that the Wu army had retreated, they regarded the Wu army as cowardly, and arrogantly crossed the Furong River to pursue Liu Dexiang's troops. Not long after, the 2,000 Qing troops had all crossed the river, and the 200 fast horses were in quick pursuit, believing that it would not be long before their cavalry regiment would cut off the heads of the Wu army like watermelons.

"A thousand households! The cavalry of the Qing army is about to catch up! "Report on the entry of the 07th thousandth regiment.

"Four hundred-man teams stopped and waited, and two hundred-man teams were placed on the left and right sides, one hundred-man team went around the enemy's back to block his retreat, and one hundred-man team remained as a reserve. When a frontal attack begins, both the left and right flanks attack at the same time. Inform Deputy Sun Qianhu that I will command in the front, and he will lead the reserve to reinforce at any time. Liu Dexiang ordered neatly.

Sun Shalin rode a horse and held a telescope to observe the battle between the enemy and us on the position, he kept shaking his head, the Qing army was too stupid, their cavalry was shot by the long-distance strong bows of the Wu army, but their bows and arrows could not shoot people, because they were hiding in the ravines. The Qing soldiers, who had rushed closer, were shot down by a dense network of arrows woven by the Wu army's repeating crossbows, and in the blink of an eye, the Qing cavalry lost more than half. Sun Shalin had to admit that Liu Dexiang did have a set.

The Qing cavalry stopped attacking, and they prepared to wait for the follow-up troops to come up before attacking. After the Qing army came up, the real battle began, Sun Shalin held a telescope and constantly scanned the battlefield, he saw a vigorous figure rushing out, rushing to the front, the action was clean and neat, in the face of the fierce Qing army without fear, after cutting down a soldier, another knife cut down an officer.

"Huh! Who's that? Fanning turned the telescope elsewhere, what a familiar figure! To make a better look, he opened his eyes wide and stretched his neck forward an inch, as if that way he could see better.

"Huh! Who's that? "Sun Shalin looked carefully, what a familiar figure! To make a better look, he opened his eyes wide and stretched his neck forward an inch, as if that way he could see better.

"Nonsense! Monkey business! How did he go up too? Sun Shalin shouted, he saw clearly, the familiar figure was like Liu Dexiang.

"Get that daredevil's back for me! No matter how much he opposes! Sun Shalin said loudly.

"Deputy Senhu! Who's fighting? The guard next to him didn't know why.

"Who else? You thousands of households Liu Dexiang! Sun Shalin was angry.

"Ahh All the people screamed, and some of the guards turned away.

The Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and Liu Dexiang was used to killing, "Hey! Feed! What do you do? He exclaimed, and a few guards sent by Sun Shalin picked him up and left.

Of course, Liu Dexiang knew that this was Sun Shalin's idea, and when he saw Sun Shalin, Sun Shalin was severely criticizing several guards, especially those from the Ministry of Political Affairs.

"Deputy Sun Qianhu! It's not about them, it's up to me myself! Liu Dexiang was stunned.

"A thousand households! Could you please go to the front less in the future to join in the fun? I can't afford it! Sun Shalin was angry, if something happened to Liu Dexiang, he would be the first to be held responsible.

"Not next time! Not next time! Liu Dexiang smiled embarrassedly, although there were military regulations, he didn't think it was a big deal, when did he not charge on the front line when he was beside the prince?

"Qianhu, you are the commander of the 07th Thousand People, you should be responsible for the whole team, not to mention that now we are fighting independently, you should be more cautious and command the overall situation." Thinking about the responsibilities he might bear after the accident, the more Sun Shalin spoke, the more angry he became,

Liu Dexiang looked at Sun Shaolin seriously, and saw that he looked endless, nagging, worried and afraid, without a trace of hypocrisy, but also really cared about himself, he couldn't help but be moved, and felt that his previous comments on Sun Shalin were quite biased, and he also said emotionally: "Sun Qianhu! Thank you! In the future, we will unite and cooperate sincerely to create a great cause for the world. ”

Sun Shalin was stunned, stopped his mouth, and whispered, at this time he was ashamed in his heart, he was selfish and only for himself, and he might as well be more.

Liu Dexiang nodded, approached Sun Shalin, held his hand and said: "I believe in Deputy Sun Qianhu, I have a little suggestion, if Deputy Sun Qianhu has any thoughts in his heart, please say it, let's discuss it together." ”

Sun Shalin nodded emphatically: "In the future, I will definitely assist the Lord of Qianhu." ”

Liu Dexiang was full of gratitude and sighed lightly: "Alas! If we can all stick together and work together, things will be easier. ”

Sun Shalin didn't think that Liu Dexiang would say it directly, his face was red and white, and he was even more ashamed, Liu Dexiang suddenly realized something, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry Deputy Sun Qianhu, I didn't mean you, I meant our Da Zhou." His eyes were gloomy.

Sun Shalin asked in surprise: "Who is not united in our Great Zhou?" Li felt that he was asking stupidly, didn't he ask General Shuo for discord with the prince not long ago?

Liu Dexiang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this, we'll talk about it later." "It's better for their lower-level officers not to talk about the affairs of those ministers and generals.

Sun Shalin was dissatisfied again, and just said that he would say everything, but now he is spitting again.

At this time, a sergeant reported: "Thousands of households! The Qing army is retreating. ”

Liu Dexiang asked sideways: "Deputy Sun Qianhu, what do you think we should do?" Do you want to chase? ”

Sun Shalin said: "There is the Furong River in front of it, and the Qing army has no way to escape, we should chase them, annihilate them, and make a great contribution to my 07th thousand-man team." ”

Liu Dexiang also thought the same way and agreed: "Okay, chase!" ”

The Qing army retreated to a small town called Baiguo in the northeast, and Liu Dexiang led his troops to chase after it and strictly surrounded the town of Baiguo

Baiguo Town is at the foot of Da Lou Mountain, west of Zunyi Mansion, where the Miao people live, except for a few earthen embryos are some wooden buildings.

It was easy to capture the town of Baiguo, and the Wu army broke into the town with a charge, and the Qing army continued to flee to the northeast, but Liu Dexiang did not let the troops chase after him. Wu Jun had just rested for a while, the surroundings were quiet, and the sky was almost dark, only the dark gray outline of Da Lou Mountain in the distance was faintly visible. The cold wind roared in the valley, the temperature gradually dropped, and there was no sound in the barren mountains. Liu Dexiang decided to let the troops rest overnight in Baiguo Town, and wait for the rest to be talked about tomorrow.

There were a considerable number of pro-Qing court people in the Zunyi area, especially the local Miao, Zhuang, Yao and upper-class Tusi nobles, etc., Liu Dexiang also temporarily served as the political participation of the 07th thousand-man team, he imprisoned all the pro-Qing court diehards in the town, and ordered the soldiers to go into the people's homes to do propaganda work.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers standing on the high place of the hill and looking at the sentry suddenly looked at the forest in horror, the forest rustled, at first he thought that some fierce beast was walking, but now he saw clearly that it was the Qing army, he ran away, and shouted while running: "There is a Qing army!" There is a Qing army! ”

The screams woke up the soldiers who were resting in the town, Liu Dexiang got up with a bone, rushed out of the gate and climbed to a pavilion, while ordering: "Recall all the people and prepare for battle." ”

After a while, the sharp arrows in the sky came, and after the first wave of the Wu army, which was in a hurry to respond to the battle, knocked down many enemies, it suffered a lot of losses, many soldiers did not have time to find cover, and many soldiers did not come up in time, and some of the Qing cavalry had broken into the Wu army's formation. The soldiers of the Wu army were not in a panic, relying on the tulou of the private houses, the soldiers in front ignored the incoming enemy, and concentrated on blocking the follow-up of the enemy, while the Wu army that came up behind was in groups of three or five, forming a formation to shoot the intruding enemy, and the marksmen fought alone, occupying a favorable terrain, and shooting the Qing cavalry one by one.

The confusion lasted for a quarter of an hour, and when the last of the strong Qing cavalry was shot to the ground by the marksmen, the Wu army finally stabilized its position. But at this time, more and more Qing troops were coming from behind, and the pressure on the 07th thousand people did not decrease in the slightest.

Liu Dexiang, who was standing on the earthen tower to observe the enemy's situation and command the battle, was hit by an arrow in his right arm, and the arrow was poisonous. As soon as he took the medicine, he went upstairs again, and this time no one could stop him, not even Sun Shalin, so angry that he went to the front to fight. "Abandon the periphery, with me as the center, order each hundred-man team to shrink inward." He gritted his teeth and ordered, and the two guards around him supported him, one left and one right.

"How did the Qing army appear? Haven't been in touch with the Ministry of Health yet? Then, Liu Dexiang lowered his head on the left side and asked the people below, with an unconcealed anger on his face, and at the same time annoyed that he was too careless, not wanting this to be a trap of the Qing army.

"The Qing army has long been hidden in the forest near Baiguo Town, so our troops have not been able to find out!" A sergeant surnamed Liu reported that he belonged to the military department.

"Have the reprimanding teams returned?" Liu Dexiang asked anxiously again.

"There has been a break from the outside world, there is no news of them!" Sergeant Liu replied.

Liu Dexiang was a little worried, and now he didn't dare to break through, because the Qing army had many cavalry, relying on these small buildings to resist for a while, and now the hope is that the Ministry of Health can come to the rescue in time.

The 07th thousand-man team showed weakness to the enemy, although the Qing army captured all the high ground outside the town, but they paid a heavy price for it, and every collapsed adobe pavilion in Baiguo Town was like a tiger's mouth with a bloody mouth, I don't know how many lives of Qing soldiers were devoured! Relying on the favorable terrain, the Wu army used arrow nets to shoot groups of Qing soldiers who tried to rush into the city. After many bloody battles, the Qing army was still unable to effectively deal with the Wu army's repeating crossbows, especially this kind of close combat.

It was already dark, but the Qing army's offensive did not stop, they changed some tactics and prepared to attack the town of Baiguo with fire, which was what Liu Dexiang was most worried about. And the dark night was not good for the Wu army, and the shooting effect of the soldiers was greatly reduced. As the Qing army sneaked up on the night and fired rockets, there was a riot in the town of Baiguo, and the Miao Yao people continued to attack the Wu soldiers who were watching them.

After receiving the report of the attack on the personnel of the Ministry of Counsel in charge of surveillance, Liu Dexiang glared angrily and ordered fiercely: "Gather all the people in Sawan Tusi's house and shoot those who disobey the order." ”

The town of Baiguo was narrow, the riots in the town quickly subsided, and the fire attack of the Qing army outside the town did not work, and by dawn, calm was restored inside and outside the town, and the Qing army had disappeared without a trace. It turned out that the Qing army had discovered that other troops of the Wu army had arrived.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Dexiang received a report that his troops had lost more than 400 people, and the Qing army had lost 2,000 people. However, what made Liu Dexiang feel the most distress was that the scout troops of the 07th Thousand Corps suffered huge losses, and nearly half of the battle was ambushed by the Qing army.

"See the Commander!" Liu Dexiang was ashamed to go to see Jiang Yunxiang, the commander of the Kunming Guard, this was the first battle he fought since he went down to the grassroots level to serve as a thousand households, although the enemy was destroyed several times the losses of his own side, but nearly half of his own losses were almost wrapped in dumplings, and his heart was uneasy.

Liu Dexiang is the person next to the prince, although he is now his subordinate, but usually Jiang Yunxiang still respects Liu Dexiang, but this time his expression is extremely serious, and Liu Dexiang secretly screams badly.

"Liu Qianhu, please quickly combine the troops, let's go to Hengzhou." Jiang Yunxiang said in a deep voice.

Liu Dexiang didn't react for a moment.
