Chapter 428 Fierce Battle Against Kageyama (II) Three Watches
Because the mountain road is relatively narrow and steep, Liu Liangzuo divided his team into four battle echelons, each with 1,500 people, and the rest were his guards, under the protection of the guards, he rode a big flower horse to hide from a distance.
Liu Liangzuo likes to ride a big flower horse, so it is named "Flower Horse Liu", an order, the first battle echelon of 1500 people howled and rushed up, the defenders on the mountain have already discovered them, they condescended to see clearly, the two leaders are Lu Yongming and Diao Xun, these two are the Tusi generals of Yunnan, and they are also very good at leading troops to fight.
Seeing that the Ming army rushed up along the narrow sheep intestine mountain road, he didn't move at first, and when the Ming army rushed to almost half of the mountainside, he gave an order, and the small stones were thrown down, and the big stones rolled down, and the big and small stones fell down like raindrops, making a thunderous sound.
Because the mountain road is very narrow, it is narrow and can only walk down four or five people side by side, and if you go to the horse, you can walk down three horses at most, so these Liu Liangzuo's subordinates are rushing towards it with a shout, feeling that there is movement above, looking up at the stones in the sky, their faces suddenly change color, but there is no place to hide, because there is a deep ravine next to it.
Some were smashed into meat patties on the spot, some were rolled to the bottom of the cliff, broken bones, some were so frightened that they jumped off the cliff automatically, fell into specimens, and the rest quickly wiped their heads and ran back, but they were blocked by the behind, you pushed me and squeezed, poured a piece, and those who fell down the cliff also abounded, and the screams were crying wolves for a while.
Those who rushed behind were the lucky ones, and those who could retreat retreated, each running faster than the other. The first charge failed, and it did not last for half an hour, with heavy casualties and blood-stained mountain roads. 1,500 generals, counting the number of people, less than half of them came back, and seven or eight hundred full lives were gone if they didn't say no.
"Rush me again, the first team and the second team are combined, and those who retreat die!" Liu Liangzuo, who was in the distance, saw that he was defeated so quickly, and he was so angry that he rode on his horse and shouted.
These soldiers have no choice but to rush up again, knowing that rushing forward is death, but no one dares to disobey orders, because if anyone does not obey the order, they will die now!
Anyway, Hengzhi is a death, and he can live a little longer if he rushes up, and now that he is dead, he will be punished according to the theory of escaping from the battle, according to the policy of the Ming Dynasty, there will be nothing for the casualties and the care of his family, and it will be a lifetime of shame.
Rushing up is of course different, rushing to death in this way is dying on the battlefield, and being a warrior is dying as it deserves. Soldiers do not have to consider the right or wrong of the decision-maker, the only thing to implement is the military order, there is a saying that the military order is like a mountain, or it is said that the soldier follows the general's order.
Therefore, the 1,500 people in the second echelon, plus the first echelon, the remaining seven or eight hundred people added one piece, and the more than 2,000 people lined up longer, shouted louder, resounded through the valley, and rushed up again with swords and guns.
They stepped on the corpses and blood of their comrades, leaped over the dripping stones in the road, and rushed forward with their lives.
The first echelon of the charge failed, and the second echelon began to charge, and there was no long interval in between.
The soldiers guarding the mountain above looked at it, the Ming army rushed over again, this time there were more people, they gritted their teeth, and waited halfway up the mountain, the two leaders gave an order, the stones that rained came down again, some began to shoot arrows, the stones added arrows, and the ghosts cried wolf howls on the mountain road again.
The soldiers above were fighting vigorously, someone behind Lu Yongming patted him, Lu Yongming looked back, Mu Tianbo didn't know when he arrived behind him, the two leaders were startled, and hurriedly wanted to give him a salute, so they saw Mu Tianbo pull them to the side, and said: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the Ming army below, and they are far away from the main force, so you can lure the enemy into the ......" Mu Tianbo whispered a few words in the ears of the two.
Lu Yongling and Diao Xun nodded knowingly, then returned to the position, and whispered to the soldiers who were struggling to throw stones and archery, and soon the stone rain on the mountain became more and more sparse, and the stray arrows became less and less.
The second charge, the Ming army had also suffered heavy casualties, and they couldn't rush up at all, and the front was in a mess and retreated, and no one's life was blown by the wind, but it didn't completely retreat, because there was no order to retreat, and they were afraid that they would be punished by Liu Liangzuo after going back, so they had to rush up again, but they didn't rush stupidly, they learned well, and made a few turns back like a seesaw, the Ming army planned to use this method to kill time and consume the mountain guarding materials above, but at this moment someone shouted, " The stones and bows and arrows on it are exhausted, and the thieves are running, rushing! ”
At that time, these Ming troops felt that they were too powerful, and a charge really rushed up, and none of the thieves defending the city ran away. In this way, after two charges and repeated tug-of-war, the Ming army finally occupied this mountain.
Although he paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties, Liu Liangzuo was still very happy, and smiled with a big mouth, Lao Tzu's army combat effectiveness is okay, although it is not as good as the standard camp and invincible camp of Lin Yi, the master of the prison country, but I think that Lao Tzu also had Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses, condescendingly getting a few stones and shooting a few arrows to stop Lao Tzu's team, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian!
It seems that this Mu Tianbo is really Jiang Lang's talent, and it's almost over, hahaha......
Liu Liangzuo thought in his heart and pouted, and shouted: "Report the victory to the Lord of the Prison Country, just say that our people have successfully descended the front mountain, and the other soldiers will go up the mountain with the general army and continue to chase and suppress the thief army!" ”
"The master is mighty." The soldiers who gave the order lost no time in flattering and doing what they were ordered.
Soon Liu Liangzuo took the remaining four or five thousand soldiers to the mountain immediately, of course, those who were injured and half dead could only stay at the foot of the mountain for the time being treated by military doctors.
When he arrived at the top of this mountain, Liu Liangzuo found that it was not the enemy's stones and bows and arrows that had been exhausted, but there were still mountains of stones, rolling logs, bows and arrows, etc.
Thinking of this, Liu Liangzuo was stunned, their defensive materials on the position were so sufficient, why did these thieves run away?
As soon as he thought about it, someone pointed into the distance: "Look, master!" ”
Following the direction of the general's finger, Liu Liangzuo saw that there was a lower hill opposite, and Mu Tianbo's men and horses on the hill were fleeing in the mountains behind the embarrassment. Liu Liangzuo's heart flipped over, oh, they felt that they couldn't hold it, and they were scared away by Lao Tzu's fierce generals who were not afraid to charge to death.
"Haha, occupy that hill and chase me!" The horizontal flesh on Liu Liangzuo's face smiled, and he pointed with the horsewhip in his hand.
The thousands of soldiers and horses under his command rushed down from this mountain, intending to chase them to the opposite mountain, but they had just rushed down from this hillside, and when most of the men and horses were still in the ravine, the soldiers and horses that rushed to the front began to run towards the hillside, and the men and horses behind, including Liu Liangzuo and his guards, had already descended from this hill, and at this moment, suddenly a cannon rang out.
Liu Liangzuo's men and horses were stunned, and then looked at the mountains in front of them were full of Mu Tianbo's generals, and those who escaped all turned back, and then there was movement on the mountain they had just rushed down behind them, Liu Liangzuo and the others looked back, and the mountains behind them were also full of Mu Tianbo's generals.
Only then did Mu Tianbo understand that he had fallen for the enemy's trick to lure the enemy and was surrounded.
It was obvious that Mu Tianbo's men and horses guarding the mountain just now had no stones and bows and arrows, and it was all an illusion to abandon their positions and flee, it was they who deliberately let Liu Liangzuo's people go up the mountain immediately, and then sent a group of men and horses to go around behind them, and when they rushed down from the mountain, when they were in the valley, the mountains on both sides were ambushed.
In the stunned efforts of Liu Liangzuo and the others, Mu Tianbo's soldiers put down the countless stones and rolling logs that had been prepared a long time ago, rumbling like thunder, and put them on the mountain in front of them, and also on the mountains behind.
Liu Liangzuo paid attention to the terrain here, this typical landform of two mountains and one ditch, such a wall on the left and right, it is a living coffin!
This is terrible, there is no smug look on his face, Liu Liangzuo's thousands of soldiers have been injured a lot by the stones and trees rolling down the mountain, and the remaining three or four thousand people and horses are crowded here, with a look of food, no ladder to the sky, and no door to the ground.
"Hahaha......" There was a smug laugh from the mountain, and Liu Liangzuo saw that it was Mu Tianbo, followed by Sha Dingzhou and others.
"Liu Liangzuo, I didn't expect it, today next year will be the anniversary of your waiting." Mu Tianbo said this, countless soldiers will come together, they all hold double torches in their hands, and some have to draw bows and shoot arrows, and this valley is old, inaccessible, there are a large number of grass and trees, as well as thick leaves, dead branches everywhere, etc., if they attack with fire, and then shoot with arrows, Liu Liangzuo and these people will inevitably be wiped out, and none of them will be able to escape, after a fire, there will be no bones.
This time, Liu Liangzuo's face was really sweating, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and begged above: "Don't don't, wait a minute, Lord Mu, we have something to discuss, but let's do it slowly." ”
As soon as Mu Tianbo waved his hand, his subordinates didn't set fire to it or shoot arrows, "Huama Liu, what do you mean?" ”
"It's not a pity to die, but these brothers are innocent, if the prince can raise his hand, I, Liu Liangzuo, am willing to take the brothers to surrender and submit to the prince, but the prince is the first to look forward, and the prince will work together to clear the king's side, and try to support the great cause of Ming."
When Mu Tianbo heard Liu Liangzuo say this, his two eyes stared at him deadly, and found that Liu Liangzuo was sitting on the horse and did not move, his eyes were still turning, Liu Liangzuo's soldiers were also holding knives and guns, Mu Tianbo shouted to his subordinates: "Ignition!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Countless torches were thrown down, and the arrows flowed like rain, and I saw that many places in the valley had been lit, and the smoke and flames were burning, and several of Liu Liangzuo's soldiers fell under the bows and arrows, and the blood stained the valley.
"Lord Wang, slow down...... I, Liu Liangzuo, really surrendered......" Liu Liangzuo panicked now, dismounted and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the mountain.
And stopped, he also yelled at the generals behind him: "What the hell are you still standing stupidly for, are you tired of being crooked?" Why don't you kneel down and beg the king...... Lao Tzu is all for you......"
A soldier bears a nest of bears. He took the lead, half ordered and half shouted, and the rest of the thousands of soldiers, including the wounded, all threw their knives and guns, and followed Liu Liangzuo to his knees......
Mu Tianbo sneered and looked at Sha Dingzhou, then nodded, and waved his hand at his subordinates, who stopped setting fires and archers.
Mu Tianbo said: "Okay, since General Liu and his brothers are willing to surrender and submit to me Mu Tianbo, this king is also a ruthless person, but he must be guilty of meritorious service." ”
"Okay, okay, Liu is willing to wear the crime and make meritorious service, please ask the prince to command." Liu Liangzuo is submissive.
He Sha Dingzhou bit his ears on it for a while, and then Mu Tianbo said to Liu Liangzuo, "Wait for a grievance first, you don't have to come up, General Liu sent a few brave generals, come up first, this king has something to say." Whether you can live or not, whether you can make meritorious contributions or not, it is all up to these people. ”
Of course, Liu Liangzuo knew what Mu Tianbo meant when he said this, and he also thought of what Mu Tianbo was going to do, and soon Liu Liangzuo picked out a few soldiers and told them that they must listen to Mu Wangye's words, these generals nodded, and then went up to the opposite mountain......
