Chapter 339: Decapitation
Chased from Zou County to Xue County, and from Xue County to Xue County, and then from Xue County to Zou County, and then chased to Huling, was led by Peng Yue by the nose to go around a super big circle, several hundred miles of rapid marching tossed down, Gan Ji led the West Chu Army Donghai County soldiers of course were already full of anger in the chest, angry bullfighting, from top to bottom no one did not hate Peng Yuejun to the bones, and almost all of them swore successively, as long as they caught up with Peng Yuejun, who was more slippery than a loach, they would definitely slaughter and kill all this group of rabble!
The Western Chu army finally seized such an opportunity this time, after they crossed Surabaya in Huling and went south, although the treacherous Peng Yue army immediately slipped away again, and gave up Pei County to go west at the first time, but because it took a certain amount of time on the road to report the news to the south, when Peng Yue's army retreated westward, the West Chu army of the East China Sea that was pursuing at full speed was only forty miles away from Pei County, and there was no way to completely throw off the West Chu army, and it also gave the West Chu army hope to catch up with them.
When they accelerated southward and came to the city of Peixian, which had just been abandoned by Peng Yuejun, they unexpectedly got in touch with the Western Chu army in Pengcheng, knowing that Feng Zhongzheng, the general of the Western Chu army, was leading 10,000 elites to chase the good news from Peng Yuejun.
At the same time, considering that the elite strength of the Western Chu army led by Feng Zhong was too strong, and it was not subordinate to each other, it was likely that they would set up their own camps and cooperate with each other to fight, even if Fengyi's internal help was available, it would be difficult for the self-army to kill the two enemies at the same time, Peng Yue also had to dispel the idea of fighting a decisive battle with the enemy in Fengyi, and was forced to send Yue Mo to Fengyi to contact Yongya, asking Yongya to temporarily give up the plan to cooperate with the self-army to fight, continue to lurk in the camp of the Western Chu army, and return anyway when there is a chance in the future.
It's a pity that Yue Mo was a step late, and Yongya was too anxious to take a step forward, when Yue Mo arrived at Fengyi, Yongya had already summoned his generals, and officially made public his decision to lead the army anyway, asking the generals to prepare for Yizhi, just waiting for Peng Yue to lure the Western Chu army to Fengyi, and immediately start to cooperate with Peng Yue's army to fight. Hearing that Yue Moromi was coming, Yongya was extremely happy to invite Yue Moromi to everyone, introduce Yue Moro's identity and origin to his subordinates, and ask the generals of Fengyi to salute Yue Moro.
Not to mention, because the defenders of Fengyi were all brought out by Yongya, after learning the identity of Yue Moro, the generals of Fengyi really saluted Yue Moro, and swore to be loyal to Xiang Kang in the future, Yue Momo complained bitterly in his heart, but he had no choice but to meet the generals of Fengyi one by one, and made a promise on behalf of Xiang Kang, promising to reward the generals of Fengyi after the matter was completed, and then he gave a look to the Yongya envoy and asked to talk to Yongya alone. No one is allowed to enter or leave the city without permission, and then send the generals down to prepare for the change of banners.
It was only after the generals left that Yue Mo complained to Yongya and asked, "General Yong, why are you in such a hurry?" Before I heard from you, your decision to change your mind anyway has been announced? ”
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Yongya asked strangely, and explained: "I received news that you have come to Fengyi, and the Western Chu thief army led by Gan Ji Pifu is also chasing you, in order to prepare early, so as not to rush to the end, so I hurried to do so." ”
"The situation has changed, and behind us, there is more than just a chasing army."
Yue Mo sighed, and then told Yongya that Feng Zhong also brought the elite of the Western Chu Army to join the pursuit, and Yongya was also shocked when he heard it, and said in a lost voice: "Another Western Chu thief army has emerged?" Or is it the elite of the Western Chu army from Pengcheng? It's troublesome now, even if my 800 or so people suddenly defect on the battlefield, it won't play any role? ”
"So General Peng Yue wants to suspend the original plan and let you wait patiently for a while." Yue Mo replied helplessly, and hurriedly asked, "General Yong, how is it?" Are those people just now reliable, will they leak the news? ”
Yongya's face was gloomy, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "It's hard to say, in a short period of time, they may not have any different intentions, but if it takes a long time, even if they are all people I brought out, I don't dare to guarantee that they will continue to keep their mouths shut." Also, they are preparing to change banners according to my orders, and they will definitely tell their cronies about the situation, and the more people who know, the more likely it is that the news will leak out. ”
"What then?" Yue Mo hurriedly asked.
Yongya, who has defeated Liu Laosan twice in history, is actually quite talented, and he only pondered for a while before saying: "There are still two ways now, one is that when you arrive, I will immediately take the army to follow you." The second is to act according to the original plan, when you arrive, I will first help you to kill Gan Ji Pifu's pursuers before Feng Zhongpifu's pursuers arrive, and then immediately take the army and leave with you. ”
"Is it too late?" Yue Mo asked worriedly, "What if during the battle, Feng Zhongpifu's pursuers arrived in time?" ”
"This point has to be decided by General Peng, if he thinks there is enough time, we will do so, if he feels that it is too late, I will go directly with the army with you." Yongya immediately replied: "In short, I can't continue to hide in the ranks of the Western Chu Thief Army, as long as the slightest rumor of today's incident leaks, I will immediately die without a place to be buried." ”
Yue Mo thought about it carefully, so he didn't delay any longer, regardless of the fact that it was not early, he hurriedly told Yongya to be careful, and then immediately went out of the city, walked back to contact Peng Yue, and reported to Peng Yue about the situation in Fengyi, as well as Yongya's decision. And when it was completely dark, after Yue Mo saw Peng Yue, Peng Yue was also embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before replying: "When we get to Fengyi City, as long as Feng Zhongpifu doesn't chase too closely, we will kill Gan Jipifu's pursuers first!" ”
…………
At the same time, having learned the lesson of letting Peng Yuejun slip away many times before, the guard of Donghai County of the Western Chu Army resolutely ordered the soldiers to light torches to continue the pursuit, regardless of the fact that the sky was already dark, and also ordered loudly: "Order the whole army, speed up, continue to advance, sleep and rest in the open during the third watch, and get up and continue the pursuit on the fifth watch (Yinshi)!" ”
At the same time, Feng Zhong's army, which was more than 20 miles behind Ganji's army, also saw that it was not early, and Feng Zhong also decisively ordered, "Pass the order, the whole army will stop, sleep and rest, and then set off to pursue at the end of the day." ”
After saying that, Feng Zhong also glanced at the direction where Peng Yuejun fled to the west, and said secretly: "Run!" It doesn't matter if you are my brother's army or not, as long as you can help my brother, I don't want to fight you! ”
…………
The night passed quickly, only two hours of rest, the main force of Peng Yue's army, which continued to set off eastward at the fifth watch, finally arrived at a position about ten miles away from Fengyi when the sky was twilight, and repeatedly confirmed through scouts that only one army of Ganji was chasing after his own army, Peng Yue hesitated again and again, or shouted: "First kill the pursuers of Ganji Pifu here, so that we can be more relaxed in the future!" ”
After that, Peng Yue ordered the army to slow down and be ready to meet the enemy's pursuers at any time, and at the same time sent Yue Mo to enter Fengyi three times, and agreed with Yongya to start signaling, so that Yongya was ready to cooperate with the decisive battle of the army, and then turned to the east, and said in his heart: "Feng Zhongpifu, don't chase too quickly, give me a little time, even if you give me half a day." ”
After deliberately slowing down the speed, it was only five or six miles to cross Fengyi in the west, and the more than 7,000 Western Chu army chasing soldiers led by Gan Ji really caught up, and at the same time, Yongya also took his 800 or so people out of the city to chase, seeing that the enemy fell into the trap, Yongya also acted according to the requirements, Peng Yue gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, the whole army turns around, lines up the battle formation, and fights to the death with the Western Chu thief army!" ”
When the order was issued, Peng Yuejun, who had expanded to more than 18,000 people, immediately turned around and quickly lined up a decent mixed battle formation of infantry and cavalry. Hurry, rush up to set up a formation, fight to the death with the Han thief, and be sure to completely annihilate the Han thief! ”
The order was conveyed, and the Western Chu army, which had long hated Peng Yuejun, was all cheering loudly, scrambling to speed up the pace, and rushed to the front of Peng Yuejun's formation to quickly arrange the formation, at this time, the Yongya army that chased after him out of the city also relied on the advantage of physical strength to catch up with the back of the Gan Ji army, and also took the initiative to send someone to contact Gan Ji, saying that he wanted to help Gan Ji attack Peng Yuejun, although Gan Ji looked down on the seven or eight hundred county soldiers in the hands of Yong Ya, but he did not refuse, immediately nodded in agreement, and let the Yong Ya army line up behind the self-army formation, Wait for the self-army to defeat Peng Yue's rabble first, and then help fight the general attack and pick up the leaks, and at the same time, according to the righteousness of the soldiers, they also established their command banner array on the hills behind the Western Chu army array.
At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Western Chu army was still in formation, Peng Yuejun's side had already taken the lead and decisively sent the army of both wings to charge forward, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the opportunity of the Western Chu army's uneven formation to strive for close combat opportunities, and give full play to the advantage of being numerous among the soldiers. Gan Ji laughed again when he saw this, and immediately ordered his army to take a defensive position, intending to block Peng Yuejun's dog jumping over the wall first, and then launch a counterattack.
"Knock knock knock!"
To Gan Ji's surprise, Peng Yuejun's two wings charged forward, against the feather arrows hurriedly cast by the Xichu soldiers, just barely won the opportunity to fight in close combat, Peng Yuejun was already beating war drums behind the formation, sending out a general attack signal, Peng Yuejun immediately charged, shouting like a tide and rushing directly to his Chinese position. Seeing this scene, Gan Ji of course first shook his head, and then immediately burst out laughing, "Will the Han thieves fight in the end?" Attacking just after the start of the war? What is this not sending to death? ”
As expected by Gan Ji, although the number of people was large, Peng Yuejun's total attack on his front and back was like the tide hitting the embankment, and the momentum was suddenly blocked, and he was forced to start a hand-to-hand battle almost without shaking the position of the Western Chu army, and the Western Chu army relied on the advantages of training and equipment to fight calmly, firmly blocking the offensive of Peng Yuejun, just like a rocky reef in the sea, standing still under the impact of the waves, and killing Peng Yue's sergeants who charged forward one after another with ease.
Seeing such a situation, Gan Ji, who has absolute confidence in his ability to command troops, is of course even more proud, knowing that as long as the self-army blocks Peng Yuejun's wave of dogs jumping over the wall, it will be able to kill Peng Yuejun with a counterattack and collapse into an army. However, at this time, the pro-soldiers next to him reminded: "Junzun, something is wrong with the situation, why are the county soldiers of Fengyi approaching our flag array?" ”
Turning his head in some surprise, he saw that the Fengyi County soldiers led by Yongya were indeed trotting towards his command flag array, and Gan Ji was inevitably even more strange, and said: "There is no order, what are the Fengyi soldiers doing here?" In the past, a person, tell them to stop, by the way, what is the situation? ”
According to the order, a Ganji's personal soldier immediately stepped forward, rushed to the front and asked the Yongji army to stop advancing, and asked the Yongya army the reason for approaching the flag formation of the Western Chu army, Yongya himself came forward and replied loudly that he was preparing to protect Ganji, and refused to stop advancing, still trotting close to Ganji's flag formation with his army, and in a blink of an eye, it was less than two hundred steps away from Ganji's flag array. Gan Ji's personal soldiers had no choice but to beat their horses and go back to report the situation.
At this point, Gan Ji still didn't have the slightest suspicion, and said that Tubaozi Yongya didn't know how to fight, and was afraid that the Han army would attack his flag formation in a roundabout way, so he didn't take any countermeasures, just instructed his own soldiers: "Go and tell them that this county doesn't need their protection, tell them to line up on the spot, without orders, they must not act rashly, if there is any disobedience, military law will be engaged!" ”
The pro-soldiers received the order, and once again rushed to the Yongya army, which was only more than 100 steps away from the flag array, to give an order, but Yongya was no longer polite this time, pretending to come forward to talk to Ganji's pro-soldiers, and suddenly pulled out the steel knife of Shiling Pavilion that Xiang Kang gave to him personally, and cut Ganji's pro-soldiers to the ground with a knife, and then pointed at Ganji's banner array with a knife and shouted: "The husband is famous and rich, at this moment!" Kill! ”
"Kill——!"
During the shouting and charging, the Yongya Army suddenly showed a military flag, the crimson Han Army flag! Holding high the flag of the Han army and rushing directly towards the Gan Ji flag array, Gan Ji saw it in disbelief more than a hundred steps away, and couldn't help but pinch his thigh with his hand, and screamed: "This official is not dreaming, right?" The county soldiers of Fengyi are actually the army of Han thieves?! ”
Poor Ganjun Shou was indeed not dreaming, shouting, the Yongya army immediately rushed to the near place in a blink of an eye, and the main force of the Western Chu army that was fighting with the Peng Yue army was almost unaware, let alone immediately divided the troops to come over to respond, only the five hundred soldiers who protected the flag array hurriedly came up to block, but they didn't have time to arrange any circle array to protect Ganji, and were disrupted by a charge from the Yongya army with full physical strength. He could only hurriedly pull out the sword on his waist and personally lead the fight with Yongya.
There were several loud bangs in succession, and the short and strong Yongfang dance knife was like the wind, only attacking and not defending the knife and taking Ganji's vital point, Ganji could only wave the sword one after another to parry, but after the swords intersected and collided several times, the bronze long sword in Ganji's hand suddenly made a crisp sound, and it was actually split in two by the steel knife of Yongji's teeth - the bronze is brittle, and he is most afraid of impact. Gan Ji was shocked and blurted out, "What kind of knife is yours?" ”
"The Shiling Pavilion Divine Sword made by King Han himself!"
With a loud roar, Yong Ji held the knife with both hands and slashed at Gan Ji's shoulder, and the Shiling Pavilion steel knife built by Xiang Kang himself also slashed Gan Ji's neck, and under the brute force of Yong Ya, he actually cut off Gan Ji with his head and shoulder, blood splashed, and suddenly splashed all over Yong Ji's fat black face.
"Junzun! Honorable County! ”
Gan Ji's personal soldiers shouted repeatedly, and there were those who wanted to rush up to avenge Gan Ji, but the soldiers behind Yong Ya rushed up one after another, and soon killed them and retreated, Yong Ya took the opportunity to cut off Gan Ji's handsome flag flagpole with his own hands, as soon as the flagpole was broken, Gan Ji's handsome flag immediately fell to the ground, and the Yongya soldiers who were fighting with the Western Chu soldiers also immediately broke out into a burst of cheers.
The matter was not over, and the eight-character Liu Laosan's teeth were broken, and under the protection of the soldiers, he quickly rushed to the golden drum of the Western Chu army's banner array, and personally struck the golden cymbal one after another with a hammer, sending a retreat signal to the Western Chu army. As a result, hearing Mingjin's voice, the Western Chu soldiers who were fighting fiercely with Peng Yuejun were of course dizzy, and many people subconsciously pulled their feet and left, and Peng Yuejun took the opportunity to rush and kill, instantly killing the originally rock-solid Western Chu army battle formation.
At this time, the soldiers of the Western Chu Army finally found out that the flag array had changed dramatically, and quickly turned around and rushed over to meet the flag array. The officers and men of the Western Chu army were furious and immediately gave full pursuit, and the battle formation of the Western Chu army was even more chaotic.
Yongya's beheading operation was so successful, of course, Peng Yuejun was difficult not to win the battle, taking advantage of the loss of command of the Western Chu army and the complete chaos, Peng Yuejun everyone scrambled to be the first, all brave, fiercely wielding all kinds of weapons to desperately slash the enemy in front of them, the Western Chu army was a group of dragons without a leader, and the army was extremely flustered, of course, it was soon killed by Peng Yuejun in a complete chaos, and then collapsed.
"Gan Junzun is dead, run!"
After the battle, I don't know who shouted, the Western Chu army who heard the shouting panicked and rushed away, and drove other companions to do the same, the Western Chu army completely collapsed, countless soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, and Peng Yuejun fought a big battle, relying on the advantage of the number of people to chase and kill, and smashed down the chaos of Wang Baquan, and killed the Western Chu army to the point that people were turned over on their backs, and the corpses were all over the field, and the dead were countless.
Afraid that Feng Zhong's reinforcements would arrive in time, Peng Yue's army only chased five or six miles to Mingjin to collect troops, quickly clean up the battlefield and contain wounded soldiers, Yongya first distributed all the food stored in Fengyi to the villagers in the city, and then took his hundreds of soldiers and his wife out of the city to meet Peng Yue's army, Peng Yue was full of praise for Yongya's performance, in addition to immediately making Yongya his deputy general, he also divided 3,000 people from his own army and handed them over to Yongya's commander, so as to strengthen Yongya's troops.
Time is precious, after doing this, Peng Yue and Yongya and others did not dare to waste even a minute, and quickly set off with the army to the west, and hurriedly fled to the direction of the single father in the west, and because of the rest of a few more hours and set off an hour late, it was only after Peng Yue's army completely evacuated the Fengyi battlefield that Feng Zhong rushed to Fengyi City with his army and saw the tragic situation of the corpses of the Western Chu army.
"Damn, I don't have a lot of guts, I'm just behind, and I dare to fight Ganji in Fengyi. And Yongya, who is also my brother's person, knew that I wouldn't be so lonely. ”
After muttering in a low voice, Feng Zhong first ordered the self-commissioned officers to contain the defeated soldiers, enter the city to search for the Yongya family, deliberately delaying a little time to give Peng Yuejun a chance to slip away, and then glanced at the direction where Peng Yuejun was going, and said secretly in his heart: "Can you catch up smoothly?" Where will they go next? But don't run back to Junozawa, then I won't have any chance. ”
