Chapter 38 Ma Ta Nanping (2) Repair
Ni Kefu is known for his prestige, on the one hand, he beheaded a few soldiers; On the other hand, he made a heavy promise, and for a while he also suppressed the Xiazhou soldiers who were not paid. He ordered all his troops and horses and hurried all the way to Gangneung.
When they walked near the Zijiang River, the news that Jiangling City was still falling had already reached Ni Kefu's army. Ni Kefu immediately killed a few people who spread rumors and seemed to have escaped from Jiangling City. But further on, some defeated soldiers retreated from Gangneung City. Gangneung, is it really lost? Is the foundation of the three states that was laid after twenty or thirty years of fighting with the old prince really about to be lost?
But this thing is a little strange. These defeated soldiers are not the same as those who fled. Some of the defeated soldiers said that the king of Nanping had died in Jiangling City, and some said that the prince Gao had escaped from Jiangling City, but the people said that there was still a fierce battle in the city and they did not know the whereabouts of the king of Nanping.
Jiangling City has always been dangerous, and there are Shaxian counties next to it to support each other, whether Jiangling City is lost or not, Ni Kefu doesn't know. However, there should not be many people who sneak attack Gangneung, that's for sure. Why? Nanping can survive in the crevices of the four directions for so many years, it is not that there is no warning at all, Nanping has raised nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses in the land of Sanzhou, but it is not for white rice, how can a large number of enemy troops run to the city of Jiangling unknowingly. Since they were a sneak attack, there would definitely not be many people coming, and Gangneung City had nearly 10,000 troops.
In fact, Ni Kefu was wrong about this, he had been excluded from the forbidden army for a long time, and Gao Congzhi strictly blocked the news of returning to the state, so he didn't know much about the recent movement of the forbidden army. The total proportion of the forbidden army was 12,000, 4,000 people were annihilated in Guizhou, and 3,000 were tied to Guizhou, in fact, there were only 5,000 forbidden troops in Jiangling City, plus 2,000 people were sent to Shishou, although 3,000 people were transferred from Jingmen County, Jiangling City was only 6,000 people, and when Zhang Liang robbed the mission, he brought out 500 people, so that only 5,000 troops remained. And the Yuezhou soldiers were nearly 8,000 people.
However, Ni Kefu naturally didn't dare to be too careless, after all, if he ran to Jiangling City and found that Jiangling was lost, then it would be difficult for the four thousand people under his command to have any combat effectiveness. At this important juncture, Ni Kefu was a little hesitant.
Ni Kefu sat on the horse, thinking as he walked, not only wanted to stop the team, wait for the spies to report, and by the way wait and see the situation, but also afraid of delaying the fighter, in case the rescue was too late to lose Jiangling, it would be too late to regret it.
Ni Kefu couldn't help but rub his chin and brush his beard, and at this moment, a spy reported: "General Yu, there is the flag of the Nanping Army waving on Lijialing in front." ”
Nanping? Ni Kefu was stunned, it turned out to be Jiangling that was attacked by the Chu State. Nanping and Chu have a general relationship, more than 10 large and small wars in the past 30 years, the Nanping army has always won more and lost less, Ni Kefu knows the power of the Chu army, thinking of the performance of the Chu army in the past, Ni Kefu couldn't help pouting, the king of Chu actually dared to come and attack Jiangling, hehe, I let you have no return.
Lijialing is a small Tubaozi Mountain, although it is a dense forest, but it is only a small piece, at most two or three hundred people are hidden, and the terrain below Lijialing is open, which is not conducive to ambush at all.
A little suspicious soldier, can you still bluff me? Ni Kefu said: "Herald Pioneer Officer, don't worry about Li Jialing's enemies, continue to march towards Jiangling!" The middle army and the rear army took a break. ”
After a while, another spy came to report: "General, the vanguard of our army is still passing through Lijialing, and the enemy is just waving his flag and shouting, and he does not go down the mountain to fight." ”
Ni Kefu smiled slightly: "Order the three armies, hurry up, and rush towards Jiangling City." When I arrived in Gangneung, there were many rewards. ”
Ni Kefu led the army to continue to set off towards Jiangling, what is more funny is that Li Jialing's small group of Nanping army, I don't know if the commander has a problem with his brain, or the commander is a dead brain, he is not close to the Xiazhou soldiers, he will go if you go, and from time to time he beats the drum and shouts, and the shouting is also funny: "Surrender and don't kill, defect to the Chu army and get a reward!" "The Xiazhou soldiers were repeatedly panicked, and they were still a little underestimated in their hearts, and Ni Kefu had to work hard to suppress them.
The sun was setting, and in the evening, the Xiazhou soldiers, who had been running wildly for an afternoon, finally arrived at Jiangling City. Seeing the banner of King Nanping of Jiangling City flying high, Ni Kefu's mind calmed down a little, and the Xiazhou soldiers seemed to have some vitality, but the strange thing is that the gate of this city is closed, why is there no one guarding the city wall?
Gangneung Fortress is quiet.
Ni Kefu was a little suspicious in his heart, shook his head sharply again, and was about to shout.
I heard the sound of war drums "dong dong dong", and then "click", the banner of the Nanping palace slowly fell, a bright red flag of the Chu army fluttered high, and a big "horse" word was embroidered on the red background.
At this moment, shouts of killing came from both sides of Jiangling City, and thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded the Xiazhou soldiers.
It's not good, it's a trick.
Ni Kefu stiffened his sword and shouted: "Sons, follow the old man to fight your way out of the encirclement." "When it comes to this, it's hard to say that there is no silver reward. Fight one is one, fight two to earn one.
Ni Kefu urged the sergeant to retreat towards the way he came, but before he could take a few steps back, he was surrounded by a heavy siege. The Yuezhou soldiers who came from the west, what is the banner of the "Ma's Yuezhou First Battalion", the leader of the general made a melon-shaped copper hammer, rushed in to cut the east and kill the west, and after a while, several Xiazhou soldiers were beaten, ** flew sideways, and the Xiazhou soldiers couldn't help but retreat back when they saw him, but how to retreat in time. This person is Qian Qing. The person on the right is not easy to mess with, a silver spear flies up and down, pointing where to hit, poking a quasi-child, indeed the regimental training of the first regiment in Yuezhou Cao Yun.
Ni Kefu looked at it, making the gun fierce, but the killing was not so bloody, and the Xiazhou soldiers could still resist for a while; And the one who made the hammer was about to die, and the Xiazhou soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to look at it. Ni Kefu gritted his teeth and went up immediately, raised his gun to block Qian Qing, the moment the knife and hammer collided, Ni Kefu's tiger mouth cracked, and the big knife was almost knocked away, and he was taken aback in his heart.
Ni Kefu looked at the copper hammer "woo", holding the fierce wind and falling head-on, he no longer dared to resist, kicked the stirrup, the wrong horse's head, flashed the hammer at the slightest moment, and then the horizontal knife came over, and it was worth splitting Qian Qing's neck. Qian Qing was not in a hurry, and as soon as he put it in with his right hand, he put the copper hammer behind him without looking at it. The two turned the horse's head and stood together, it was really a bit of strength and courage, Ni Kefu just didn't dare to resist Qian Qing, just relying on the sword and horse, using ingenuity, waiting for Qian Qing to find flaws, or waiting for Qian Qing to be bored; Qian Qing's strength is not small, but he fought awkwardly to death, and began to whirring the copper hammer wheel, majestic is majestic, but when he was old with a hammer, he was always dangerously injured in Ni Kefu's hands, which made Qian Qing scream, and he really couldn't get rid of Ni Kefu for a while.
Ni Kefu was entangled by Qian Qing, and the Xiazhou soldiers were miserable. There is no command, there is an afternoon of running, rarely rest, and dinner has not been eaten, this time and a half, there is no problem, after a long time, I want to fight, my hands and feet do not obey the call, and I may not want to fight in my heart. Quite a few people surrendered after fighting.
Surrender, like a contagion, spreads ten, ten, hundred, and gradually the resistance becomes weaker. The protective circle of the Yuezhou soldiers is getting smaller and smaller, and the battlefield is gradually quiet. Only Qian Qing's shouts were still loud.
After fighting for so long, Qian Qing was secretly anxious in his heart, he peeked at it, there were not a few people left in the war around him, as a general in the army, he had been beating an old man for so long, and his face became more and more ugly, ugly and ugly, this old man was really difficult. It seems that the only way to take the risk is to take the risk. Thinking of this, he secretly gritted his teeth and swung the sledgehammer twice, just as it was a trick.
At this time, someone shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”
