Chapter Twenty-Six: The Night Battle on the North Bank of the Sand River

As Zhang Xuan expected, Liu Hongqi did want to turn back to fight, but the morale of the soldiers is not a value that can be changed in the game.

A great defeat, with 20,000 troops defeated by thousands. The rest of the people all suffered from severe tensiophobia, and when they saw Zhang Xuan chasing after them, they wanted to run, but they didn't think about how to reflexively fight.

In particular, the Shahe River is a small river with limited capacity, and the further west it goes, the more upstream it goes, the narrower the channel becomes. The flotilla that blocked the entire river will travel more slowly.

So they simply took advantage of the darkness to go ashore. Want to hike into the mountains.

But Luo Dai, who had been falling behind him, seized the opportunity, and when Liu Hongqi and the others had just come ashore and had not yet gained a firm foothold, they attacked with a thousand horses.

"Take my orders to heart." Luo Dai jumped on the horse and said loudly: "The target is Liu Hongqi, kill Liu Hongqi, reward a thousand gold, and be promoted to three levels." ”

Zhang Xuan worked hard to regulate the ranks in the military. But in a horse team, the rank is still very simple. Most of the cavalry soldiers are old soldiers, promoted to a sergeant, promoted to a captain, promoted to a third level, that is, a hundred households, if they are officers, promoted to three levels, it is the battalion officer level.

Zhang Xuan has never discounted military orders.

Even if he disposes of Luo Dai who gave the order afterwards, the military order that has been issued will also carry out this military order.

A thousand taels of silver and a thousand acres of fertile land are enough to make the rebels who still had nothing before die and go crazy.

Under the frantic impact of more than 1,000 horsemen, Liu Hongqi was defeated in almost a round.

"Big brother, let's go." Liu Hongdao said loudly: "The Liu family can do without me, but they must not do without you." ”

Liu Hongdao didn't wait for Liu Hongqi to agree, and immediately ordered several Liu family disciples around him to snatch Liu Hongqi's general flag, and led them out to fight back, shouting while walking towards the melee: "Liu Hongqi is here." ”

"Third brother." Liu Hongqi said.

Within one day, the five brothers broke several times, Liu Hongli died on the battle array, Liu Hongchao did not withdraw from the ship, I don't know if he was dead or captured.

By his side, there are only the third brother Liu Hongdao and the fifth brother Liu Hongjun.

Liu Hongjun had tears in his eyes and said, "Big brother, don't let the third brother die in vain." ”

"Let's go." Liu Hongqi also had a bit of heroic spirit, without saying a word, he turned around and left, Wang Liangmo and Liu Hongjun followed behind with more than 100 people.

In the darkness, the line of sight is not clear.

And Liu Hongdao and Liu Hongqi are brothers, and they are a little similar when they grow up, don't say it for a while, Luo Dai and them, even if they are Liu Hongqi's subordinates, they can't tell the difference for a while.

These people are still somewhat faithful.

Seeing that Liu Hongqi stayed in a fight to the death, although there were many people who fled, there were many people who stayed to fight to the death.

The scuffle lasted for a while before the dust settled.

There are too many accidents in the night scuffle. Luo Dai's subordinates have lost a lot.

However, Luo Dai didn't care, and said, "Where is Liu Hongqi?" ”

"Liu Hongqi is here." A few soldiers said excitedly.

Although this Liu Hongqi was won by several of them together, even if it was shared by several people, it was a lot of wealth.

Luo Dai was overjoyed, pulled up the person who pressed him, and brought the torch closer to see, only to see that this person was half bloodstained, obviously after a vicious battle, with a rebellious sneer on his face.

Luo Dai frowned and said, "This person looks a little young, huh?" ”

"It's Liu Sanye." I don't know who shouted.

Luo Dai was taken aback, his eyes looked at it, and sure enough, there was something wrong with this person, Liu Hongdao couldn't hide it, sneered, and said, "It's you Liu Sanye." You want to arrest my big brother, don't think about it. ”

Luo Dai was suddenly furious, and the long knife swung through. Immediately cut off Liu Hongdao's head, a stream of blood spurted out, Liu Hongdao's head rolled on the ground, and the contemptuous smile froze on his face, as if he was still laughing at Luo Dai.

Luo Dai was still angry, and when he saw a few people who sent Liu Hongdao over, he suddenly became angry and didn't know where he came from, and each of them kicked hard, and each kick was not light. The men were all beaten and rolled on the spot.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Luo Dai was so angry that his hair was open, and he said loudly: "Look for it." ”

It's not that far from the mountain. Liu Hongqi can be said to be a bowing snake.

It is quite difficult to find a trace of a snake in the dark.

Luo Dai searched for a whole night, but he only touched Liu Hongqi's tail, and they had already entered the mountain.

Luo Dai had to send someone to the south bank to report the news to Zhang Xuan.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan came by boat.

Luo Dai immediately went to greet him, and Zhang Xuan didn't say a word when he saw Luo Dai, and kicked up.

With Luo Dai's skills, there are many ways to avoid Zhang Xuan's kick. But he didn't hide, and even rolled into a gourd on the spot.

Zhang Xuan also slowly came out, for different people, to use different methods.

For someone like Luo Dai, if you give him a kick, it will make him feel kind. But if you give Shen Wandeng a kick, in Shen Wandeng's opinion, the decision is an insult.

"Get up." Zhang Xuan said: "This kick can't kick you down at all." ”

"Uncle." Luo Dai accompanied him and said, "I'm sorry, my old Luo missed, and I ask my uncle to punish him." ”

"Today's matter, send it for the time being." Zhang Xuan said: "Let's talk about the things in front of me first. ”

"My uncle gave an order, and my old Luo will send someone to attack the mountain now. will be condemned. Luo Dai said.

“

Never mind. Zhang Xuan said: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it." Let's wait. ”

Zhang Xuan was stupid to send cavalry to attack the mountain, and then the Linying camp and the horse team fought hard for a day and a night. It's already tired.

Now it is time to rest and recharge, and the war is over. Next, no matter how worried Zhang Xuan was that Liu Hongqi would cause trouble for him in the future, the most important thing to do now was not anything else, but to take over the foundation of the Liu family outside the mountains and take over the territory of these counties.

Zhang Xuan ordered the Linying battalion to take over Suiping County, Shen Wandeng to take over Xiping County, and ordered Cao Zongyu to immediately lead the Nanyang battalion to rush over.

And ordered Zhang Pu to be the county of Suiping, and Zhang Su to be the county of Xiping.

These arrangements were all carefully arranged by Zhang Xuan.

First of all, the Linying camp was ordered to take over Suiping County, in fact, he wanted the Linying camp to rest temporarily. It was Cao Zongyu who really took over Suiping County.

Zhang Xuan also wanted Cao Zongyu to be responsible for the encirclement and suppression of Liu Hongqi.

Without him, the strongest comprehensive ability in his army is Cao Zongyu. went into the mountains to encircle and suppress Liu Hongqi, and in a familiar place with Liu Hongqi, he encircled and suppressed Liu Hongqi, who was the head snake of the land. There is not much need for troops, after all, the remnants of Liu Hongqi who fled back to the mountains are only more than 100 people. There is also no need for many elite soldiers.

The training of the Nanyang camp under Cao Zongyu may not be very good, but Cao Zongyu is a person who can take on great responsibilities.

Even if he can't encircle and suppress it, he can control the scale of Liu Hongqi, so that he won't get into big trouble.

This is Zhang Xuan's second-best thought.

As for sending Shen Wandeng to Xiping, it is to borrow the origin of Shen Wandeng as a Xiping person.

At the beginning, the Shen family still had some connections in Xiping, so that they could collect Shen Wandeng's heart, and secondly, they could also block Xiping County as soon as possible. After all, the iron ore in Xiping is something that Zhang Xuan has coveted for a long time.

As for the arrangement between Zhang Pu and Zhang Su, there is also a reason.

Zhang Puqing is upright and upright, and does not beat around the corner. It can be in Suiping County, after all, Suiping County was cleaned up by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Pu can do whatever he wants, but Xiping's side is much more complicated, and it is not suitable for Zhang Pu, but Zhang Su is much more suitable.

However, these arrangements are just arrangements, and it will take a while to implement the arrangements, after all, there are still some things to deal with Shen Wandeng, and he can't send people to Xiping rashly. There are also some things to settle in Suiping County, and how to deal with Liu Hongqi must also be discussed with Cao Zongyu.

In short, all kinds of things need to be settled one by one, Zhang Xuan suddenly had a feeling in his heart, and said secretly: "I'm afraid I can't celebrate the New Year with Yujiao this year." ”

Today is the 17th day of the lunar month, and I am afraid that these affairs cannot be concluded in one or two days.

I wanted to go back on the first day of the new year, but now it seems impossible.

Zhang Xuan still had a chance to think about the New Year, and Liu Hongqi was already in his heart at this time. I can't remember the Chinese New Year.
