Chapter 90: Encampment
The front of the Xiangshi Valley was full of tree barriers, and the Wu army in ambush behind them smashed down countless boulders and rolled down the wooden pillars poured with oil to block the retreat of the Mongol cavalry.
Flesh and blood flying, the neighing of war horses and the screams of the war dead are intertwined, this is the Shura field! It's hell on earth! Qi Liang resolutely walked down closer, and Chen Zhengcheng stopped: "Shizi! The front is too dangerous, please stand back! ”
Qi Liang gritted his teeth and waved his hand, forcibly holding back the discomfort of wanting to gag and watched this bloody scene with wide eyes, he just wanted to let himself see clearly to adapt to this kind of scene.
Chen Zhengcheng saw that Qi Liang did not listen to persuasion, and his heart was anxious, and he ordered the guards to guard Qi Liang, Qi Liang impatiently pushed away a guard in front of him who blocked his view, and shouted: "Go away!" Don't get in my way! ”
At this time, several sharp arrows flew in this direction, and the guards in front blocked them with shields, and Qi Liang shouted hysterically: "Smash them to death!" ”
Without his orders, the Wu army rained arrows, stones fell in waves, the Mongolian cavalry completely collapsed, the forward rush forward, the backward retreat, the forward rush was blocked by the tree barrier and all were killed, the backward took advantage of the valley mouth was not completely blocked, stubbornly broke through, and some of them rushed out by luck, but they were greeted by the killing of 1,200 Guanning iron cavalry led by Tang Daomu.
It was a one-sided and simple massacre, and Qi Liang walked in the valley strewn with corpses without a trace of the joy of the victors, only the feeling of the cruelty of human barbarian humanity.
When the sergeants who were cleaning the battlefield saw Qi Liang coming, they all bowed and saluted: "Knock on the world!" ”
Qi Liang walked to a rolling boulder and tried to climb up, but two attempts were unsuccessful, Chen Zhengcheng and Huang Qi supported him, and he finally went up with his strength. Standing high above and waving his hands, he shouted: "The soldiers have worked hard! Brethren have worked hard! ”
"Chitose Shiko! Chitose! Chichitose! "The uplifting sound of the valley resounded in the sky.
"Reward the three armies, everyone will be rewarded!"
"Xie Shizi!"
Qi Liang shouted again: "Drive out the Tatars and restore China!" Drive out the Tatars and restore China! ”
All the people shouted: "Expel the Tatars and restore China!" Drive out the Tatars and restore China! ”
This kind of worship by others, a call to respond to the scene made Qi Liang high-spirited, full of pride, he moved a small step to wave his hand and shouted two more inspiring slogans, but the boulder site was unstable and swayed from side to side, Qi Liang "sigh" fell down, and the scene made a burst of exclamation: "Woo! Everyone was dumbfounded, and some people couldn't bear to see it and turned their faces away.
Chen Zhengcheng, Liu Dexiang, Huang Qi and others quickly caught Qi Liang who fell, Qi Liang happened to fall in the hand net intertwined by several people, he was shocked and quickly stood up, burst out laughing, and nothing happened. Then the audience burst into laughter, and the soldiers felt relaxed and friendly.
Hu Guozhu hurriedly ran down the mountain and waved his hands: "Shizi!" You okay? Just now he was sentenced to the sentence "Drive out the Tatars and restore China!" was shocked by the slogan, and was also startled by Qi Liang's fall.
Qi Liang spread his hands and said with a smile: "Do you think there is something wrong with me?" ”
Hu Guozhu wiped the sweat on his forehead, both caring and reproaching: "In the future, you have to be more careful!" Then he scolded the guards next to him: "Why don't you stop the prince? Do you still want to have a head? ”
Chen Zhengcheng and the others knew that they were wrong and did not argue, Qi Liang said: "It's none of their business, I'm going to go up myself!" ”
Hu Guozhu still didn't let go of Chen Zhengcheng and others, and scolded: "In the future, it will be smaller, and if there is a mistake, it will kill your head!" ”
Although he knew that Hu Guozhu cared about him, Qi Liang still didn't want him to reprimand his subordinates too much, so he pulled him aside and said, "General Hu! Now that the great calamity has been removed, let's speed up the march! ”
Hu Guozhu took a step back and said respectfully: "Son! Please get on the horse! ”
Shen Zheng and Qi Liang's army arrived at Zhao Li Bridge, and Qin Guilin went out of the camp to greet him. At this point, all the troops of Qi Liang's forward battalion had been gathered, except for Liu Qilong's 1,000 troops stationed at the Lucheng Ferry.
On the second day, leaving 1,000 troops to garrison Zhao Li Bridge, Qi Liang led the army north to Xianning, passing through Puqi County, Qi Liang abandoned but did not attack, Hu Guozhu was puzzled and asked: "Why didn't the prince capture Puqi City?" ”
Qi Liang said: "Why waste time here? As long as Zhu Man is defeated, the hundreds of Qing troops in Puqi City will not surrender automatically? ”
Hu Guozhu asked worriedly: "If Puqi is not removed, how can our army's supplies be unimpeded?" ”
Qi Liang disdainful: "Hundreds of Qing troops still dare to go out of the city to harass our army?" Then he said with strong confidence: "This time our army is fighting a blitzkrieg, a quick battle, no logistics!" ”
Blitzkrieg? Hu Guozhu didn't figure out what it meant for a long time, but he felt fresh about Qi Liang's endless new words, and he also felt novel about Qi Liang's unconventional and counterintuitive tactics, and retreated from the enemy in the hills and ambushed in the valley.
Qi Liang's eyes shone brightly, and he shouted: "Everyone keep up, speed up!" ”
On the evening of the second day, I saw a large camp in Huangduo, forty miles away from Xianning, and a spy had already reported that it was still a large camp.
Yesterday, after receiving an urgent report from Puqi asking for help, Zhu Man led the army south to rescue, and set up camp at sunset less than forty miles out of the city, waiting to leave early tomorrow, not wanting the Wu army to be coming!
How did the Wu thief come so quickly? Could it be that Puqi has been taken? Zhu Man paced back and forth anxiously in the tent camp of the Chinese army, walked to the tent door and looked up at the sky, the moon boat had sailed out, Wu Thief should not attack at this time, right?
Returning to sit down, a waiter served fragrant wine and food, and respectfully served: "Commander, please eat!" ”
Zhu Man patted the table: "Go down!" How can you be in the mood to eat now? ”
When the sun was still hanging in the air, he ordered the troops to set up camp, and he had no intention of going down to save Puqi, but Nabuchaha was in a hurry, and he thought that it was difficult for the court to explain and had to go to the army.
I don't want to think that if Puqi can be saved, Yuezhou can also be saved. Zhu Man was very annoyed, stood up and kicked the table leg so that the tea on it shook straight, and now he can't advance or retreat, and he doesn't know what to do.
Outside, Zhu Man saw a sergeant running over, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Tajie!" How's it going? ”
"Handsome! Wu is encamping! Tajie got down on one knee and gave up, he was Zhu Man's most trusted Xiaoqi spy.
Zhu Man was relieved, indicating that Wu had no intention of attacking now. "Send more spies to closely monitor Wu Wei's camp, and report any situation immediately!" He was still a little worried about the Wu army attacking the camp.
After Tajie retreated, Zhu Man had an idea, could he quietly withdraw while the Wu army was encamped? Think about the fact that you have spies to monitor the other party's camp, and the other party must also have spies to monitor your movements, and Buchaha, who wants to avenge his brother, will not let him withdraw, so he dispelled this idea.
Buchaha is the deputy capital of the Mongolian Yellow Banner, and the leader who led the 2,000 Mongolian cavalry to guerrilla in northern Hunan is his younger brother - Sheluji, who has been buried in the Xiangshi Valley.
"Attacking the Wu camp?" Zhu Man flashed another thought, and shook his head like a drum.
How dare he? When he heard that he didn't even dare to set foot in Hunan after the loss of Yuezhou, he was frightened when he learned that the infantry of Linxiang Sahu had not been withdrawn, and that the cavalry of the guerrilla Sheruji had also been ambushed.
