Chapter 100: The Battle of Yongping (5)
After entering the valley, Li Rang was in charge of breaking the rear, and Le Gen opened the way in front. The reason for this arrangement is to ensure that the Liaodong Army is ambushed. In order to attract the Liaodong army, Li Rang ordered the cavalry to throw away some gold and silver, then some swords, then armor, and even bows and arrows, etc., and finally most of Li Rang's subordinates were bare-handed, so they ignored it and rushed forward.
Seeing this, the Liaodong army became more and more excited, and Wu Sheng strictly ordered that he was not allowed to dismount and pick up property, but ordered to chase after him. At this time, it was almost dark, Qiu Zengshi looked at the towering peaks on both sides and the narrower and narrower mountain roads, and rushed up to grab Wu Sheng's reins: "Lord Servant, be careful of deceit, how can Li Rangyong champion the three armies, how can he be so cowardly?" If it is getting late today, the road is narrow, and the army cannot maneuver, once trapped in the mountain road, our army will inevitably be annihilated! Think again! ”
Wu Sheng glanced at Qiu Zengshi, then looked at the surrounding mountains, and said in a low voice: "General Qiu, how can I not know about this matter?" But now is a great opportunity, so there is no need to hesitate to follow General Ben forward and kill the enemy. ”
"This ......" Qiu Zengshi was also stunned, not knowing what medicine was sold in Wu Sheng's gourd. However, looking at Wu Sheng's back, Qiu Zengshi sighed, and still urged the horse forward, something happened to the lord, and he couldn't live, forget it, look at what medicine is sold in the gourd of the lord.
Li Rang looked back from time to time, and when he saw the Liaodong Army chasing after him, he was secretly happy in his heart, it was very smooth so far, as long as Wu Sheng was eliminated, then the Liaodong Army would inevitably retreat, and he would have made a great contribution. He looked up at the mountain road, and found that the ambush site was about to be agreed, and just as he was excited, he heard a bang, and countless rolling logs and stones rolled down on both sides of the valley, and in an instant his men were cut in two.
Li Rang was shocked and shouted: "Be careful, avoid the middle of the valley, dodge to both sides, quick!" ”
But it was too late, the rolling wood and stones rolled down from the top of the mountain, not to mention the thunderous momentum, whether it was people or horses, all crushed into flesh, the lucky ones were smashed and broken bones, and the unlucky ones immediately burst their brains and shattered their bones, and for a time the valley screamed again and again, and Li Rang's subordinates were all over the field and hid everywhere.
But after a while, the rocks and rolling logs on the hill stopped. Li Rang found that there were only a few hundred people around him, and the road ahead had been blocked by stones and was impassable, while behind, Li Rang slowly turned around, and the 20,000 cavalry led by Wu Sheng was hurrying over.
When the sound of bangzi sounded, Wu Sheng's cavalry was also startled, but soon found that it was not themselves who was attacked, but Li Rang, and they couldn't help but boost their morale, they knew that their main general had already been arranged. Qiu Zeng also chuckled in his heart, could this be Wu Sheng's arrangement? But as far as I know, the Liaodong army that came out of the customs is under Yongping City. He hurried up and looked at Wu Sheng: "My lord, your subordinates who are hiding from him are so bitter!" ”
Wu Sheng turned his head and smiled apologetically: "General Qiu, General Ben is also a last resort, if there are too many people who know, it will be easy to expose flaws, but the specific situation will go back and talk about it, now I have to beat the water dogs." ”
While speaking, Wu Sheng waved his hand: "Release the arrow!" ”
The arrows of the Liaodong army rained down, but most of Li Rang's subordinates did not even have armor, at most they had a single knife in their hands, so in the screams, the soul returned to the underworld. Li Rang held a long knife in his hand, and shouted while dialing Diaoling: "Wu Sheng, a despicable and shameless person, dare to fight with this general?" Then he rushed forward, intending to fight hand-to-hand.
Wu Sheng ignored it, and only let the Liaodong army continue to release arrows, and in the dense arrow feathers, Li Rang quickly hit several arrows and fell under the horse, and his subordinates either died on the way to the charge, or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, praying for life.
After about a stick of incense, Wu Sheng ordered to stop firing arrows, and then sent people to clean up the battlefield. The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield found that Li Rang was not dead, so they carried him to Wu Sheng's horse. Wu Sheng rode on the horse, looked at Li Rang lying on the ground, and sneered: "Come on, show this man who has no king, no father, and a wolf's son and a jackal's heart." ”
Li Rang stared at Wu Sheng viciously, raised his arm and said, "Wu Sheng, how do you know our plan, is someone betraying the prince and betraying us?" ”
"Haha," Wu Sheng laughed and looked at Li Rang with sarcastic eyes: "Li Rang, you people, all of you are rebels, aren't you used to betraying?" ”
"You?" Li Rang was extremely angry, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
Wu Sheng spit out a mouthful of phlegm in disgust on Li Rang's body, pointed at Li Rang and said: "You betrayed the emperor for a woman, and even affected the family, the emperor ordered your father Li Shen to persuade you to surrender, but you followed Yan Shu to rebel." The emperor exterminated your three clans according to the law, and the female dependents were exiled to the frontier, and ordered all departments to behead a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted person like you immediately, and there is no need to report again. Today, the official is also acting according to the order! ”
"Someone, slash!"
Li Rang wanted to say something more, but was held down by two soldiers, and his hand raised his knife, and a big head rolled down to the dust......
When he was running in front of him, he found that the team was not moving, so he couldn't help but be furious, and waved his whip to make a path, and came to the front, and then he was also stunned, and there were many trees in front of him, and the branches and forks blocked the road tightly. Cowardly Legen chuckled in his heart, it was broken, and he fell for the southerners. He immediately ordered the rear army to stop advancing and defend on the spot, and sent someone to inform Li Rang to be careful; Then he ordered the soldiers to go up and move the trees away, and at that moment he heard a loud noise on the other side of the tree pile, and the flying stones and projectiles were sprayed on the Mongol troops in the valley.
"It's a tiger squat cannon! Be careful, everyone. He found that he was fortunate to run to the front, otherwise he would have died, because the first shot was to bombard his position just now, thinking of this, he shuddered, he was not afraid of death, but if he died without skin and brains, he could only thank him.
The sound of the cannon seemed to be a signal, and a large number of rolling logs and stones immediately rolled down the mountain, and the Mongolian soldiers under the mountain were turned on their backs and corpses were everywhere. The Mongol army and some of Li Rang's subordinates scurried around the valley like headless flies, but it was useless, under the boulders, as long as they ran into it, they were basically the end of the soul returning to bliss, and the luck was only to break an arm and leave a leg.
The rolling wood and stone only lasted for a stick of incense, but the cowardice and the others felt that it was longer than the first half of their lives. As soon as the attack on the mountain stopped, the voice of surrender in Mongolian and Chinese immediately sounded: "Put down your weapons, take off your armor, hold your head in your hands, and come out, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
The people at the bottom of the valley looked at each other, and then one and two...... One by one, they took off their armor, held their heads in their hands, and walked forward. When they arrived at the pile of trees, they found that a gap had been opened in the pile, but it could only allow four or five people to pass, and directly opposite was a group of shield soldiers, followed by archers and musketeers, and the terrified Mongol soldiers were obediently bound and tied up one by one.
About an hour later, the barricades at the bottom of the valley were opened, and a large number of Ming troops began to clean up the battlefield, chopping off all their heads and wrapping them in lime.
In the end, only about 5,000 people survived, and most of them were injured, and the rest were buried in this inaccessible Miaojiaao......
When he was captured, he immediately identified himself, so he was immediately brought up. After a while, a herald came and escorted him to the top of the mountain. When the cowardly climbed to the top of the mountain panting, he found that there was a large group of Ming troops on the top of the mountain, an old general with white hair was scanning the mountain, and a general next to him was explaining to him, and the old general nodded frequently yes.
Hearing the footsteps of the coward, the general who was explaining stopped and glanced back at the coward: "General coward, we meet again!" ”
"You," Coolegan raised his hand and pointed at him in surprise: "Jiang Yu, why are you?" ”
