Chapter 950: Forced to be helpless
As soon as the wind and thunder rise from the earth, there will be piles of refined white bones.
A monk is a fool and can still be trained, and a demon is a ghost.
The golden monkey rose up with a thousand sticks, and Yuyu clarified thousands of miles.
Hail Sun Dasheng today, only because the demon fog has returned.
It is said that Xu Wenxiu, the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty, led the four general soldiers and 60,000 troops to Qixia County, which naturally would be a bloody battle. After settling down the camp first, at the first military meeting before the battle, Xu Wenxiu began to arrange the troops, but his arrangement caused the generals to disagree with him.
"My lord, the number of Qixia anti-people is not large, my army of 60,000 has come here, even for the sake of safety, you can surround three and lack one, under a fierce attack, the righteous army will naturally choose to flee through the gap, and then the cavalry of our army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the thieves will be defeated. But now the lord only ordered the army to camp in Xi'an, and then let the army only fight in one direction of the west gate of Qixia, so whether this arrangement can be considered again. ”
The Qingzhou general soldiers, who were anxious to be angry for his younger brother Li Yanfang, shook Shandong Li Yanping, pampered himself, and did not take Xu Wenxiu in his eyes, but although Xu Wenxiu was Li Yanping's boss and the commander of the army, in the face of the four general soldiers in Shandong, they all questioned their intention to arrange troops.
"Hahaha, what Mr. Li said is very true, and what can be worried about is only in everything. Xu knew that Yu Qi was by no means ordinarily difficult to deal with, so he didn't want to encircle Qixia County, and then he attacked from all sides. My army of 60,000 Green Flag soldiers came to Qixia County, not to mention whether it can be beaten or not, at least with Xu's arrangement, if the 60,000 army is in the same place, it will definitely not be lost. ”
After Xu Wenxiu explained, Dengzhou General Soldier Li and others immediately saw the wind and made the rudder echo: "Enxiang's plan is very good, based on undefeated, and then slowly figure it out, Qixia is only a county of land, and there is naturally not much grain in stock. ”
Li Yongsheng, the chief soldier of Yizhou, and Fan Chengzong, the chief soldier of Laizhou, came here just to help in the war, and Qixia belonged to the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, so he naturally had nothing to do with Yizhou and Laizhou, so it was best not to lose the soldiers. Therefore, he no longer insisted and became a wait-and-see person. Li Yanping saw that the other three general soldiers were not coming forward, and Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Dengzhou, was about to enter the decision, so he naturally couldn't refute anything, so he only said again: "Since the adult's plan has been decided, the final general should carry it out." ”
Xu Wenxiu clasped his palms with both hands and smiled: "Okay, if everyone can work together and break the thief's thing, we will definitely win." Then tomorrow, let's go to battle with General Li from Dengzhou. "Although Li and the others are a hundred unwilling, Qixia is his jurisdiction, and Xu Wenxiu let him be the first to fight, and he can't shirk it. But Li and the others reacted slowly, Xu Wenxiu waited for him for a long time, wanting to see him nod, but Li and the others stood there motionless and didn't say a word.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Dengzhou, felt that it was not good to be cold, so he reminded Li and the others to arrive: "Lord Li, is it difficult for you to take the lead in attacking the city?" Li waited for a while to come back to his senses and said, "No, just a thief, what difficulties can there be?" Xu Wenxiu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, it's good that there is no difficulty, then Xu will wait for tomorrow's battle and celebrate General Li's achievements." ”
There was no word for a night, Yu Qi saw that the green battalion soldiers were only camped in the west of the city, but they did not dare to gather all the righteous troops on the west city, in order to guard against the enemy's sneak attack in the other three directions, he ordered Yu Jiu, Yu Shi, and Li Junmei to guard a city wall, and he and Wang Lun sat in the Chinese army, surrounded by Xing Xiaoquan, Seng Chang and Dong Qiao, and led all the heroes as reserves, and guarded the west of the city with the Li brothers, Zhang Zhengang, Xu Haimen, Xu Yaomen and other heroes.
Li and the others gathered all the men and horses early in the morning, raised the flag and beat the war drums, and came to attack Qixia County. I saw a cloud ladder like a swarm of ants holding green worms; Rows of crossbows and crossbows are like grasshoppers galloping towards neat wheat fields. The heroes of the city also fired a salvo of bows and arrows, causing many of the charging Green Battalion soldiers to fall one after another.
Li and the others not only had the green battalion soldiers in the team, but also the people of Dengzhou who were coerced to be in it, and they were pushed and charged, and they each had a sandbag in their hands, and they came to the moat at the risk of being accidentally shot by the bow and arrow in the city, threw the sandbag into the moat, and then turned around.
The Qing soldiers with the ladder set up the ladder on the river, and after crossing the river, other ladder men took over and ascended to the city. The rebels in the city rolled wood and stones, smashing the Qing soldiers who wanted to enter the city. Although it was only the first attack, the two armies saw the real chapter in the first battle.
The heroes saw that the moat had been gradually filled, and the city wall of Qixia County was not high, and once the protection of the moat was lost, it would be even more dangerous. The heroes hurriedly reported the battle situation to Yu Qi, and Yu Qi came to the front of the battle to see the battle situation, and he was silent for a while.
Zhang Zhengang hurriedly asked: "Seventh Master, the moat can be flattened in less than three days after filling the river, and our army lacks archers, only a few hundred people in the whole army can draw the bow, and the people who fill the river are all local people, what should we do?" ”
Yu Qi said: "The Qing army's attack force has more than 10,000 people, and the other troops are huddled in the camp, and the camp is tight, so it is difficult for people to take advantage of it. There are thousands of cavalry roaming outside the Qing army camp, and even if we go out of the city to fight, it is difficult to have a chance of winning in the face of the enemy's horse infantry army several times that of our own. ”
The heroes hurriedly said: "Seventh Master, then what should we do?" Yu Qi replied: "We are doing things for the sake of the local people, and we must not shoot them, this Qing army is so filthy, we must be severely punished." But for the time being, we have to wait for the right time, so don't be in a hurry. ”
After that, the rebels saw that the Qing army drove the people to fill the moat, and Li and the others found that the rebels did not want to shoot the people, so they simply stopped sending troops to attack, but only let the people rush forward to fill the river. Yu Qi saw the opportunity and hurriedly shouted to the people: "I am Yu Lewu, the city is your hometown father, can you just watch the moat be filled, and then let the Qing soldiers enter the city to slaughter your villagers?" ”
The people under the city shouted: "Seventh Master, the little ones are also forced to be helpless!" Yu Qi said again: "Since you are helpless, can you decide to enter the city to join the army and have a bloody battle with the Qing army?" "The people naturally knew that Yu Qi didn't want to kill them, but he didn't want to kill them, but Li and the others were different, and it was very likely that he would be killed by him after helping Li and the others finish their work.
So most people expressed their intention to join the army, Yu Qi said: "That's good, there are so many ladders under the city that have been abandoned by the Qing soldiers, you put up the ladders and climb up to the city together!" If you still insist on working for the Qing soldiers, you will not blame Yu Qi, I will shoot arrows and kill you! ”
