Chapter 978: Scare Liu Songjun away
The 3,000 garrison troops of Liangzhou were led by the guerrilla general Nie Feihu to enter Zitong City first, and the 10,000 cavalry led by Yang Lie was too numerous to camp outside the city.
After arranging the soldiers and horses, the two came to the Taishou Mansion to meet Zhao Junsheng.
The residents of Zitong City were not lightly harmed by the homeless, even if the homeless people left, the Dragon Guards were still there, the residents still did not dare to go out, and there was no one on the street except for the patrolling Dragon Guards.
Nie Feihu and Yang Lie felt very strange when they saw the street empty after entering the city, and it wasn't until they met Zhao Junsheng that they learned the truth.
Yang Lie sighed: "If Your Majesty can coerce those homeless people, you can kill them in Shu in one go!" ”
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "The displaced people in Shu have suffered natural and man-made disasters, how innocent are they?" I can't bear to continue to use them, but now that they have food, they can barely get through for a while, and I just hope they can settle down! Forget it, let's not talk about it! What about the ministers and ministers who accompanied them? ”
Yang Lie clenched his fists and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are still behind, and it is estimated that they will not be able to arrive here until tomorrow afternoon!" ”
Zhao Junsheng spread the map on the table and looked at it for a while, then raised his head and said to the two: "Your two armies have worked hard in the past few days, the two generals will first arrange for the soldiers to rest, and tomorrow morning, we will pull out the camp and march to Fuxian!" ”
It is about two days' journey from Zitong to Fuxian, there are a large number of displaced people, most of them are dragging their families with their mouths, and the speed cannot be walked, some of the displaced people go to Fu County, and some of the displaced people do not go to Fu County, but go to Badong.
Therefore, Zhao Junsheng was not worried that the Liu Song defenders in Fuxian County would get the news of the arrival of the cadre army, and the officials of Zitong only knew that Zitong had been broken by the displaced people, and they did not know that the cadre army had been killed.
Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng left a few hundred people to guard Zitong and led the army to march from Zitong to Fuxian.
Marching on the mountain road, accompanied by cavalry, the marching speed was not fast at all, coupled with the hot weather, the soldiers were sweating profusely one by one.
Zhao Junsheng wiped his sweat while walking and said: "It is said that Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, these days can be regarded as a real experience!" ”
Jiang Hui smiled: "Your Majesty, the most difficult part has passed, and the next road will be much smoother!" ”
As Jiang Hui said, the most difficult part of the Shu Road is the distance from Jianmen Pass to Hanzhong, and the next road is relatively smooth, and the soldiers are much easier.
After camping in the wilderness for the night, the army continued southward.
Since the cadres were not familiar with the roads and terrain, Jiang Hui could only lead the way with the scouts in front.
The Dragon Guards were still wearing homeless clothes, but they were all riding horses, and Jiang Hui was a total of eleven people.
At this time, a group of Liu Song cavalry suddenly appeared in front, about ten or so horsemen, these ten or so Liu Song cavalry saw Jiang Hui and others and immediately shouted, one of them said: "I didn't expect these homeless people to still ride horses, brothers, follow me to kill them all and rob their horses!" ”
Dare to feel that these Liu Song cavalry regarded Jiang Hui and Yishilong Guards as outcasts, and rushed over shouting to kill these people and steal the horses.
The Dragon Guard scout Shi Chang sneered: "Hey, we are treated as fat sheep!" Brethren, prepare guys! ”
Each knight of the Dragon Guard squad took out their bows and arrows.
"Oh ho-" Liu Songjun's scouts and scouts galloped towards this side.
"Up!" The commander of the Dragon Guard Army scout rode and waved his hand, and beat his horse to meet the scouts of the Liu Song Army.
Far away, the scouts of the Dragon Guard Army began to fire arrows at the cavalry of the Liu Song Army.
"Whoosh ······"
"What's going on? How could these homeless people ······" The captain of Liu Songjun's reconnaissance cavalry was shocked, and before he could finish speaking, a continuous stream of arrows came over, only to feel that people around him were shot off their horses one after another.
The rest of the people turned their heads to see that in just two or three breaths, most of the people around them had been shot off their horses, and they were suddenly half frightened to death.
"These are not homeless people, they are cadres and scouts, run!" The leading scout captain stopped his horse, pulled the reins and turned around and ran, and the remaining Liu Song Jun scouts also turned around and ran away.
The arrows of the dragon guard scouts were still shooting at the fleeing Liu Song army scouts, and after a while, the few remaining Liu Song army scouts were all shot off their horses, and their horses stopped to graze after running for a while.
Several Dragon Guard scouts examined Liu Songjun's scouts who had fallen off their horses one by one, and two of them were not dead, but were only wounded, and they were arrested and interrogated, and learned some about Liu Songjun's situation in Fuxian County.
The commander of the scout immediately sent a man back to the brigade to report.
Half an hour later, the sentry sent back by the captain of the Dragon Guard Scout Cavalry returned to the brigade.
"Your Majesty, I found a team of cavalry of the Liu Song army ten miles ahead, after a battle, we were completely annihilated, captured two wounded, after interrogation, I learned that the Liu Song army on the other side of Fuxian County had learned that Zitong City was broken by the displaced people, so I sent two thousand people out of the city to the north to quell the chaos, on the way I met a large group of displaced people, under a killing, many people fled, and those who did not escape were killed by the Liu Song army!"
Zhao Junsheng asked: "Where are the two thousand Liu Song troops now, how many infantry and how many cavalry are there?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the confession of the captured Liu Song Army's reconnaissance cavalry, these Liu Song troops are currently more than 20 miles away from our army, there are more than 200 cavalry, and the rest are foot soldiers!"
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and beckoned to Yang Lie, who stepped forward and hugged his fists: "Your Majesty!" ”
"Send two thousand cavalry to solve these two thousand Liu Song army, from here to the north bank of Fushui, the terrain should be quite flat and open, and the cavalry combat problem is not big, but after all, this is a river, with many mountains, rivers and valleys, let the general who leads the team pay attention not to be led into a narrow and rugged area by Liu Song's army!"
"This is the first battle since my cavalry entered Sichuan, there is no room for loss, the minister wants to personally lead people to fight these two thousand Liu Song troops, and I ask Your Majesty for permission!" Yang Lie hugged his fists.
Zhao Junsheng raised his eyes and looked at Yang Lie: "You're not afraid of being said to be overkill, okay, you can go in person if you want to, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
"Yes!" Yang Lie clenched his fists and turned to leave, Xing Chong ordered two thousand cavalry to quickly advance south.
Under the leadership of Yang Lie, these two thousand cavalry marched in a long snake formation for more than ten miles, and ran a horse to explore the sentry, and the sentry saw that Yang Lie led the team with the banner of Yang, so he ran over and reported: "General Yang, the 2,000 people of Liu Song's army are less than five miles away from here!" ”
Yang Lie said with a smile: "These two thousand people are still thinking about recovering Zitong City, which was attacked by the exiles, but they don't know that Zitong City has already fallen into the hands of our army!" Come, give the order, and the whole army will march forward slowly! ”
Moving slowly is tantamount to walking on horseback, which is much less burdensome for the horses, and this way the march does not create a great momentum, even if it is a few miles away from the enemy, it is not easy to notice, and it is too late to notice it when the enemy is seen by the naked eye at close range.
Yang Lie instructed the scout again: "Continue to keep an eye on these two thousand Liu Song troops, and if there is any change, come and report it quickly!" ”
"No!"
Xiao Hui, the commander of the Liu Song army, was really very comfortable, after his two thousand men and horses got the order, he met a large number of displaced people from the north of Zitong City after passing through the Fushui for more than an hour, he led the troops to rush and kill, killed countless people, those who did not die scattered and fled, and those who did not escape were also ordered to kill by him after being caught, only to kill the heads of the people, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.
Don't look at the fact that he only has 2,000 people, but there are tens of thousands of those homeless, but the homeless people are homeless after all, they are all unarmed and dragged their families with their families, how can they be the opponents of these Liu Songjun who are armed to the teeth? Before Liu Songjun rushed over, he was so frightened that he fled, and Liu Songjun took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and won the battle.
There are also some homeless people who didn't have time to escape, and after being captured, they were all killed by Xiao Huizhen's order, these heads are all military merits, how can Xiao Huizhen let them go?
Xiao Hui is really Xiao Sihua's nephew, Xiao Sihua has many sons, and his own son can't take care of it, let alone a nephew? So Xiao Siyan threw this nephew to Sichuan and Shu, and after many years, Xiao Hui really felt that he was almost forgotten.
On the land of Sichuan and Shu, it is very unlikely that the cadres will come in, if it were not for the fact that this locust plague encountered a major drought, causing no harvest in the entire Sichuan and Shu, and the victims could not get relief and had to rebel, Xiao Huizhen thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life.
A large number of homeless people rebelled so that Xiao Huizhen saw an opportunity, and whether he could soar into the sky depends on this time, so after receiving the order, he led his troops across Fushui to the north to recover Zitong City, and when he encountered the homeless people, he immediately led the troops to kill them without hesitation.
This battle is too cool for Xiao Huizhen, it has never been so cool, killing people is as simple as cutting vegetables.
When he killed a large number of displaced people, he immediately sent people to report the results of the battle in the direction of Fuxian, and continued to advance in the direction of Zitong City with his soldiers and horses, and it was too simple for him to subdue Zitong City.
Walking and walking, there seemed to be many people in front of him, Xiao Huizhen couldn't help frowning when he saw more and more small black dots in front of him, "A large number of homeless people have appeared?" I don't want to report what the scouts are doing! These guys are so bold to be negligent in their duties, wait for me to kill these homeless people and then settle accounts with them! ”
"Someone, order the whole army to prepare in formation, and then follow General Ben to rush forward, to crush these homeless people in one go, if anyone dares to take a step back, Ben will screw off his head as a night pot!"
After Xiao Huizhen finished speaking, he raised his spear and shouted loudly, but the small black dot in front of him was rapidly approaching, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, which seemed to be just a few breaths, and the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, like thunder and explosions.
"Boom ······"
Xiao Huizhen stared ahead, but saw that many small black dots had turned into a cavalry with flying flags, and these cavalry were rushing towards this side at the fastest speed.
Liu Songjun's team was still in formation, and such a huge cavalry rushed over and was immediately discovered by sharp-eyed soldiers, and someone exclaimed: "It's the cavalry of the cadre army······
"Run—"
Before the battle started, the soldiers of Liu Songjun were already frightened and fled one by one, no matter how Xiao Huizhen roared, it was useless.
"I'm mad at me!" Xiao Huizhen was like thunder, but he had no choice but to turn around and run wildly to Fuxian.
