Chapter 140: Slaughter

After fighting a stick of incense, the south bank was a little impatient, the Qing navy that had already been ready to sail across the river, hundreds of "warships" crossed the river, most of these "warships" were made of the beams of the houses in the dismantled Ye Shuodu Nanzhuang, and the sails made of linen cloth were erected on it, and the bow of each battleship was lined with straw men tied with haystacks, and the straw men were decorated with armor, under the cover of the morning mist, they looked like mighty warriors from a distance.

The Pei brothers have a reputation as knowing soldiers, and when they saw the enemy taking advantage of the fog to attack, they did not act rashly, but ordered the archers to return with an overwhelming rain of arrows.

The "warriors" standing on the bow of the ship were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but what is disturbing is that these "warriors" who hit more than 10 arrows on average are still standing proudly. Zhu Jiu, who was on standby upstream, saw the ship on the south bank and immediately ordered to go down the river, ready to intercept and intercept. Zhu Jiu's fleet traveled a mile and arrived at a place called Lao Turtle Terrace, where the river narrowed sharply, and there was a dirt mountain on the north and south banks. How many times did Zhu Jiu pass by in the old days, only to feel that the green mountains were dripping green, the green water was charming, and he never felt that there was anything wrong, this time he led thirty warships to pass by, but his heart seemed to be pressed a boulder, he looked at the foggy water between the two mountains, and actually fought several cold wars in a row, just ordered the brigade to be on guard, the sky suddenly darkened, Zhu Jiu looked up and shouted: "Not good!" "One of his own fierce men plunged into the icy water, and a dense rain of arrows poured down on his feet, and five or six commanders who were in the same boat with him were suddenly shot into hedgehogs.

But this is only the beginning of the tragedy, the first wave of arrow rain just passed, the second wave of swirling followed, the arrows were as dense as flying locusts, covering the sky and the sun, so after three waves of arrows, Zhu Jiu's army lost at least half, and the river was full of corpses. The clear water of the river was stained with red blood.

When the nine soldiers were defeated by Lao Turtle Tai, the Pei brothers and Li Yu and Chen Wanchun also handed over, and the main generals of both sides were put into battle and commanded the battle. The Qing Navy sergeants knew that Li Mao was trapped in the earthen fort, and they all fought like crazy. Li Mao's prestige in the Qing Navy had not yet reached the point where the soldiers worked hard for him regardless of life and death, and the main reason why the soldiers were willing to use their lives like this was that Li Mao's rewards for meritorious soldiers were three to four times higher than the regular amount! Li Mao is good at management, and what he has in his hands is money, and if he changes to a chief general and has no money in his hands, the military merits that the soldiers have worked so hard to accumulate will be greatly reduced, and this is absolutely intolerable to them.

The so-called Pei Jiajun was simply a group of rabble in the eyes of the Qing naval officers, they were once the masters of the sea, and the vastness and unpredictability of the sea could not be understood by a group of mud legs who were digging in the soil all day long? The reason why the Pei family brothers have been able to survive so far is that they all rely on the natural barrier of the Youye River? Now that staff officer Zheng Xiaozhang has conjured up more than 100 "warships" overnight like a trick, the Yehe natural danger no longer exists, so why should the Pei family brothers be afraid?

On the side of the Pei family brothers, they had long held back their strength to teach the arrogant Qing Navy an unforgettable lesson, they relied on the strength of the crowd, relying on the ease of work, relying on the condescending geographical advantage, the morale was extremely high, and the fight was extremely fierce.

This is a tragic tug-of-war, with the offensive and defensive sides constantly changing roles, advancing and retreating, and suffering casualties everywhere.

Early in the morning, Mo Qi Shentong piled up a pile of wood on the top of the earthen fort, he didn't know what to do with the wood, just because Li Mao told him to do it. Li Mao observed the situation on the battlefield through the arrow hole, his eyes unblinking, he condensed it like a stone statue, suddenly, he looked at the sky, and calmly ordered: "Release wolf smoke." ”

The billowing smoke made the two armies in the midst of fierce fighting at the same time have a premonition that something big will happen, but it is impossible to judge whether it will be a blessing or a curse. Pei Renjing, who was supervising the battle of the former enemy, jumped violently on his right eyelid, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped him, and he only shivered when he was cold.

Pei Renjing's premonition was very accurate, and the smoke that rose into the sky was like a summoning stick full of magic power, instantly summoning a heavily armored cavalry out of the ground.

Pei Renyong in a group of sworn brothers under the escort, in the two armies in the formation of a few in and out of a few out, he has been practicing martial arts since childhood, familiar with military books, in order to one day be able to make contributions on the battlefield, glorify the ancestors, and live for generations, but the darkness of the world makes him unable to display his ambitions, he is depressed for this, and he sighs that God gave him this opportunity when he wasted his time.

The first time he went to the battlefield, Pei Renyong was not frightened by the cold and cruel death, but the more he killed, the more excited he became, the more he killed, the more he felt his heart surging and his blood boiling, his killing heart was terrifying, hot and sweaty, and under the excitement, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

At that moment, he felt that he was the god of war, the first person in ancient and modern times who was invincible and invincible.

The Qing Navy is worthy of being the elite of a hundred battles, even if there are no souls like Yu Hualong and Yin Mu, even if they are demolished by Yunzhou, only the old and weak remain, but they are still a stinky and hard iron bone, but now Pei Renyong stands up to the sky and is fearless, no matter if he is a piece of steel or a piece of iron, he will chew and swallow it with his steel teeth and sharp teeth.

His whole person has fallen into the realm of madness, and his soldiers have also gone mad together, the balance of victory has quietly moved, and Pei Jiajun has ushered in the dawn of victory. But this light was covered by the billowing smoke on the earthen fort in the northwest, but when he inadvertently turned around, Pei Renyong saw the wolf smoke on the earthen fort, and the whole person suddenly became stunned.

"Cavalry, cavalry found outside the grove in the northwest." The probe horse galloped to report.

"Ride...... Cavalry, where did the cavalry come from, how many were there? Pei Renyong's mind was a little numb for a while.

"It's overwhelming, I don't know how many." Tanma wept and mourned, this cavalry came so strangely, as if it had come out of the ground, suddenly appeared in front of them, so that they were not at all surprised.

"Report, I wish the commander the defeat of Lao Turtle Tai, the loss of more than half of the naval army, and I wish the leader does not know whether he is alive or dead."

"Again, again." Pei Renyong's face was like dust, he sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, glanced at the earthen fort in the northwest direction, and his lips trembled: "I, I...... We've been tricked. ”

A gust of wind swirled back, pouring the smoke from the top of the earthen fort into the fort, and the choked people exchanged tears, and Mao Taigong shouted violently: "Damn it...... Ahem, Lao Tzu can't stand it anymore, if he stays any longer, Lao Tzu will become a smoked chicken. ”

Qing Mo, who was lying on the upper floor of the earthen fort observing the enemy's situation, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Cavalry, the Capture Army has come to save us, hey, when did ****** Huang Renfan pull up so many people?" Fuck the vest too! ”

There is no Huang Renfan who has a horse armor, there are only thirty-seven cavalry in Gushan Town, all of them are light cavalry, the knight is dressed in high-quality shark skin armor, but the horse has no armor, this light cavalry can take on reconnaissance, harassment, and pursuit tasks, but the ability to charge into battle is average. Sure enough, it was Huang Renfan who came, but there was nothing to be happy about.

Li Mao stood up and said flatly: "It was General Ashina from Lishan Town who came to save us." ”

Ashina is the Pinglu Army's Lishan Town, commanding 1,700 elite cavalry stationed in Puzhou Lishan Town, Lishan Town is located at the junction of Puzhou and Yunzhou, guarding the western gateway of Yunzhou, and is an important strategic support point for Ziqing to defend the old enemy Xuanwu Town. Ashinabei, like Li Mao, was the deputy envoy of Cao, Yan, and Pu Prefectures, but as the main force of the Pinglu Army, he had no intention of sending troops to participate in the suppression of bandits from the beginning. In his opinion, using elite heavy cavalry to suppress bandits is like using precious carved arrows to shoot dung beetles, which is absolutely worth the loss.

Li Mao also knew that it was not easy to invite Ashinabei, but the Pei family brothers had more than 1,000 people, and if they fought head-on, even if they won and lost a lot, Li Mao was eager to get help. The right road didn't work, so Li Mao went off the rails.

Ashina is Li Shigu's confidant, a pure professional soldier, who is definitely good at leading troops to fight, but he doesn't understand the way of a manager at all. Li Shigu in order to show his favor, authorized him to appoint his own generals, things to gather, people to group, Ashina is favored by the fierce generals who can fight, can write and calculate, can speak the literati in his eyes is not bullshit, he appointed the military academy envoy is not good at managing the treasury like him, the allocated military expenditure is always overspent, because of the request for military funds, Ashina bei more than once smashed the Pinglu Army military academy, perennial high in the first place in the hospital's blacklist.

Li Mao found out about this news, so he sent Qingmo to Yunzhou to find Zhang Ye, who was the inspector of the shogunate in the branch, to help, the cavalry was strong in combat, and the military expenditure was amazing. Sure enough, Zhang Ye, the inspector, did not deal with Ashinabei.

Ashina is Li Shigu's cronies, and he is responsible for the important mission of defending Yunzhou, if it weren't for his fiery temper that always makes things stiff first, how dare the Military Institute deliberately embarrass him because of military overspending? But the matter has already come out, and neither side can get off the stage, so someone must come forward to resolve it, and Jia Zhiyan, who presided over the Zhidu Mansion, handed over the task to Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye's cleverness lies in the fact that Hualong, a general who has experienced vicissitudes and has mastered human feelings, is worthless in front of him, but he can coax a professional army like Ashina Pei.

Zhang Ye instigated the three-inch incorruptible tongue to stabilize Ashina first, and after gaining his trust, he used his soft body, jumping up and down, shuttling left and right, and dredged the relationship for Ashinabei. Nature is invincible.

Ashina has no experience in doing this kind of thing, and when he saw Zhang Ye jumping up and down, eating and playing with a smiling face, he couldn't stand this sin, so he thanked him in his heart. He is a rectal man, whoever is good to him, he will be good to whom, Zhang Yeken really helps him, that is his friend, and he does not hesitate to stick a knife in the ribs for his friend, not to mention that it is within his duty to send troops to help suppress him.

Therefore, when Zhang Ye told him that Li Mao was in trouble and hoped to get his help, Ashina readily agreed, and agreed with Li Mao to annihilate the Pei brothers on the periphery of Ye Shuodu Beizhuang.

The reason why Ye Shuodu Beizhuang was selected is mainly because this place is not too far from Lishan Town, and there are large woods along the way to hide his whereabouts, in addition, Ye Shuodu Beizhuang has a flat and wide terrain and a good field of vision, which is extremely suitable for the impact of the cavalry group.
