Chapter 12, Battle Dragon Pavilion

Mo Huaizhong was hit in the chest by Liu Ya's arrow, but fortunately, his heart was a little biased, and he got out of the way and escaped with his life. However, the arrow in the chest is not a minor wound after all, and looking at this situation, it is impossible to lift a spear and straddle the horse in a short period of time and go into battle to command.

Tao Kan had no choice but to order the deputy governor to temporarily take over his post, and then considering that the right flank was almost on the verge of collapse on the battlefield today, he readjusted the deployment, transferred Lu Yan to the right flank, and let the "Pengshan Left Battalion" be in the center - however, the general's banner was not easy for the time being, so as to confuse the enemy.

Sure enough, on the second day of the battle, Liu Cang saw that Mo Huaizhong's banner was still standing on the side of the river, so the basic tactics remained unchanged, and he still ordered the left flank to attack. The original quality of Lu Yan's department was higher than that of the left battalion - when the three battalions were one, he was the governor, so naturally the good seedlings would be pulled to his own middle camp - coupled with the resilience of the soldiers, Liu Ya was unable to attack for a long time.

However, this kind of small trick could not deceive the enemy for too long, and Liu Cang soon threw the new force into the center, killing the "Pengshan Left Battalion" and retreating. It's just that Tao Kan arranged an ambush behind him in advance, and deliberately made way to get out of the way while he was defeated, Qiao Tai didn't know what to do, and he went straight forward recklessly, and the vanguard was surrounded and divided, and the losses were quite heavy.

At the time of the fierce battle, Liu Cang climbed high and looked, and suddenly saw the smoke and dust behind the enemy's formation, and it was clear that a large number of reinforcements had arrived, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Soon after, Pei Cai's big banner was erected in the Jin camp, and Liu Cang was shocked: "Pei Cai came so quickly!" ”

He personally rode out of the battle, wanting to find a conversation before Pei Cai's formation--they have been dealing with each other for a long time, each ruling a country, and he should always meet face to face, what kind of person is that. However, Jin Ying was silent, no matter how Liu Cang scolded him, no one came out.

Liu Cang laughed because of this and said, "Pei should not arrive, this confuses me." "Unless it's a coward, otherwise in the middle of the battle, there is no reason for me to call him not to come out, and I don't want to fight you alone, why are you afraid? So should Bae be a cowardly waste? To tell the truth, to this day, Liu Can's evaluation of Pei Gai is still not too high, and he feels that it is not much different from the previous careerists such as Sima Yue and Gou Xi, but he also has to admit that Pei should be able to personally mention the first brigade to kill Guanzhong from Xu Fang, and he is definitely not a coward.

As he expected, it was Liu Yetang's "Fierce Wind Camp" that came to support, but he just played the banner of Da Sima, and when he heard that there was a fierce battle ahead, he also deliberately planted many banners and cut down wooden branches to raise dust to scare the enemy. In fact, Pei should not arrive at the front line from Dali until the fifth day of the battle - the main reason is that on the way to Dali, he had already sent people to summon some of the remaining soldiers and horses in Chang'an to the north, and when he heard that he was about to arrive in Dali, he hurriedly led the tribe battalion to reinforce him.

In the past few days, the Jin army guarding the Puban ferry also repelled a small group of Hu soldiers who wanted to cross, but Liu Cang ordered the defenders of Puban and other places to pseudo-cross to confuse the enemy, because the number of soldiers was too small and the preparation was not sufficient, so they were directly blocked back.

After four days of engagement, Liu Cang attacked for three days in a row, and then rested for a day, wanting to wait for the fifth day to attack again. With the help of Liu Yetang's thousands of fresh troops, although it is a drop in the bucket in terms of strength, it has a great effect on the morale of the Jin army.

Liu Cang couldn't help but be anxious, and first sent someone to inquire about the news of Xia Yang - brother, why haven't you knocked down Xia Yang City yet? If you succeed, I have something to rely on, and there is no need for the front line to rush and crash in such a hurry, and lose soldiers in vain. Secondly, the spies who were sent to the western plateau to survey the road came back, and reported that there was indeed a small road that could be copied to a place called Longting in the southwest direction, but a fortress had been set up under the mountain, and there were Jin soldiers to garrison it.

Liu Cang asked: "Can the base be strong?" How many Jin soldiers are there? ”

The spy replied, "There are only four bases, all of which are not very large, and it is estimated that there are only three or five hundred soldiers during this period, and they are negligent in taking precautions." However, we waited for the Jin people to investigate, but we accidentally noticed it for the Jin people, sent troops to arrest them, and killed three people, and the villain got away with it - I am afraid that at this moment, they have been prepared. ”

Liu Cang said that he was not afraid, Tao Kan did not have any extra troops to go to the west for reinforcements for the time being, as long as we moved fast enough, we could highlight the mountains before he reacted. Immediately ordered Pingqiang Captain Lu Songduo to lead 2,000 elite infantry to climb the plateau to cover the attack on the Jin army.

——————————

Lu Songduo is also a Tu tribe person, eight feet tall, with wide shoulders and a thick back, and his strength can fight lions and slaughter tigers. He was originally just an ordinary shepherd, but he was promoted to a general by Liu Yuan's love for Liu Jing, and he was promoted to a general - Liu Jing was a son of Liu Yuan's clan, and was later named the king of Ruyin and promoted to the title of Taishi.

You must know that the horse rides too much, and the two legs are always forked, and it is easy to become a loop-especially for Hu people who live on horseback when they are young - not only is it not good-looking, but it is easy to sway from side to side like a duck when getting off the horse and walking, and the speed is often half a beat slower than others. Only this road is more than an odd number, with long and straight legs, galloping on the ground, and being able to chase horses, so Liu Cang sent him to lead the infantry army to cover the rear road of the Jin army.

Because according to the investigation of the sentinels, although the top of this plateau is flat and can run horses, it is difficult to let the war horses climb up. Therefore, they did not ride horses, but were purely infantry, and they carried five days' rations, and climbed from the vicinity of Sima Qian's tomb - in some areas, they had to use both hands and feet to be able to climb up.

The spies came to report that although the road was winding and winding, it was estimated that it was only more than 20 miles, but it was not until the actual walk that it was one thing to walk with three or five people, and it was a hundred times more difficult for the brigade to travel. First of all, the platform is ten to fifteen zhang high, and even if you throw a hook, you can't climb it directly—unless it's Zhen Sui, who is used to walking in the mountains—and you have to make a detour and climb with twists and turns. Waiting on the plateau is a flat river, the green grass is like shade, and the scenery is also beautiful, but unfortunately it can't walk five or six miles, it is a deep trench, and you have to find the way down again, and then find a place to climb the steps again......

Although there are only 2,000 people, they must also march in line, and it is impossible to find their way separately like ordinary travelers, scattered everywhere. Lu Songduo set off before noon, originally planned to travel more than twenty miles, I walked faster, I should be able to reach Longting before dark, but he was finally forced to sleep in the mountains for a night, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to wait until it is dark to get there - maybe there is a deep trench somewhere, how can it be good to fall down?

The next day, I continued to walk, walked seven or eight miles, and arrived near the Dragon Pavilion in the afternoon. Lu Songduo ordered the soldiers to rest for a while, sent people to investigate, and came back to report that what the spies said was true, and that there were indeed only four fortresses in the mountain pass, which were very small in scale, and were guarded by Jin soldiers, and in addition, there was no trace of anyone as far as the eye could see.

Lu Song was overjoyed, and immediately shouted to the soldiers to get up, and went straight to the mountain pass. When he approached the mountain pass, he ordered the sound of the beard, and then he rushed down with his army - condescending, overwhelming, maybe the hundreds of Jin soldiers would be directly scared away, wouldn't it save me trouble?

Who would have thought that those Jin soldiers were so brave that they actually retreated into the fort and shot outward with bows and arrows, but none of them would retreat. Lu Songduo divided his troops to seize the forts, and just as he engaged, he suddenly heard a drum in the woods not far away, and then the Jin army of the brigade was surging and killed......

These Jin troops who were ambushed in the forest were naturally the headquarters of Wang Tang, and they were scattered to copy the Hu army from all sides. Lu Songduo saw that the situation was not good, the soldiers were scattered, and it was difficult to gather in a hurry, which was easy to be divided and surrounded by the other party and eaten one by one! There is a mountain behind it, and it is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up the mountain, so it's too late to retreat at this time! Forced to go into battle in person, wielding a long knife, leading hundreds of backbones, and killing the Jin people, looking for the location of the enemy general in the chaotic army - if he can kill or repel the enemy general, I believe that he will be able to reverse the decline.

Wang Tang led the same as the other party, and he was also a 2,000 foot soldier, but he himself was on a horse, and there was a large flag fluttering behind him, and the goal was very obvious - Lu Songduo immediately commanded his soldiers to rush in the direction of Wang Tang. Wang Tang was not surprised and rejoiced, and shouted: "Good come!" He slapped his horse and speared, and went straight to Lu Songduo to kill.

The two generals competed with each other, each dancing with weapons, and it was difficult to solve. But in fact, Wang Tang took advantage of it, and he made a spear in his hand, long against short, and multiplied in power; Next to the second is his own fortress, and from time to time, Jin soldiers shoot cold arrows from the base, so that Lu Songduo must be distracted to dodge - he led a small group of hundreds of people, and went straight to Wang Tang to kill, and his own goal was naturally exposed.

Lu Song said in his heart that if I have a horse to ride, how can I be afraid of this general in front of me? With resentment in his heart, his subordinates kept going, and one knife was as tight as a knife, and finally gradually gained the upper hand. But at this time, the overall battlefield situation, the Jin people have absolutely superiority, Hu soldiers have been surrounded and annihilated one after another, or rushed back to the mountain, and Lu Songduo is left to lead these hundreds of people to still resist stubbornly.

It's just that although the Jin army was besieged heavily, it couldn't eat this small group in a hurry, and the Hu soldiers fought the trapped beasts, which made the Jin casualty rate increase. And Wang Tang also knew that he was not General Hu's opponent, and the more he fought, the more frightened he became, and he wanted to retreat, but he was afraid that it would affect his morale, so he was surrounded by General Hu and Hu Bing. In desperation, I had to grit my teeth and stiffen up.

Just when he was in danger, he suddenly saw a sentry cavalry galloping from the east, and he was the first general, but before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first - "General Wang, I will help Qing!" That is, he pulled his bow on horseback and shot it straight at Luzondo's chest!

Lu Songduo hurriedly made a vertical leap and let the arrows come over, but as soon as he relaxed, Wang Tang was able to turn his horse and retreat. The key is that Wang Tang saw that reinforcements were coming, and he was not afraid of affecting his morale, so he took the initiative to leave the battle, but he still shouted in his mouth: "I don't do a fight, all the troops, and kill this Hu Er with a knife!" ”

Lu Songduo knew that there was no reason to win, so he had to turn around and flee. Relying on his superb martial arts, he finally led these hundreds of soldiers out of the encirclement and retreated back to the mountains. He also walked a step faster, the Jin army that came to help was all cavalry, riding horses all the way to the mountain pass, cutting off the retreat of the remnants of the Hu soldiers, if it wasn't for Lu Songduo running fast, he would inevitably die here today.

Wang Tang only then had time to look at the generals who came to help, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed, and asked: "Has the Metropolitan Governor already arrived in the battle?!" "It turns out that it will not be him, it is Pei who is the governor of the ministry, Wen Lang is also.
