Chapter 166: Raid, Midnight Raid

Under the city of Yilong, Liu Jinzhong was annoyed, listened to the strategy of Yuan Tao and Hu Jiusi, and wanted to surround Wei to save Zhao, who expected that Yang Xuan would not be moved, and after quickly controlling the situation in Bazhou, he now actually returned the favor with his own way, and led more than 10,000 people in his department to storm Langzhong.

Convening the generals to discuss, everyone thought that Yang Xuan was just encircling Wei to save Zhao, and everyone was not very panicked, and slowly arranged a strategy to return to the army.

But looking at Zhao Ronggui's emergency documents, this is to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and it is clear that he wants to seize Langzhong and control Baoning Mansion.

Pointing to the map in front of him, his generals said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Xianzhong has gone against the grain since he entered Sichuan, and his soldiers and horses have not only collected grain, but also brutally slaughtered my Sichuan people, and this time he has slaughtered hundreds of my Sichuan scholars, which is unbearable."

Now Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, and Fan Yixing, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, rely on Yunnan and Guizhou to start in southern Sichuan, Sichuan governor Ma Gan, and deputy general Zeng Ying have recovered most of Chongqing Mansion, and Yang Xuan in Shunqing Mansion is even more sudden, with hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals have successively defeated Yao Huang and the Great Western Army, and now they are actually ignoring Pengzhou to attack Baoning Mansion.

In the face of such a critical situation, Zhang Xianzhong actually only listened to Wang Zhaolin's clamor and tried to brutally suppress our children in Sichuan by force, and even squeezed out and took precautions against our children who returned to Sichuan. ”

Another general stood up and arched his hand and said: "General, we are originally children of Sichuan, and the general has also been with Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, Cao Xun and other famous generals in Sichuan. ”

Liu Jinzhong sighed: "What the generals think, also for me Liu Jinzhong thinks, we want to return to the Ming army, and we should also return to the Shun Ming army, and we should also return to Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, and Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and be with Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, Cao Xun and others, if not with that Yang Xuan."

Yang Xuan is just a deputy leader, and he has established special merits by coincidence, but his appointment is arrogant and self-respecting, and he has long been intolerable to Ma Gan, Zeng Ying and others. ”

Everyone was interested and interested when they heard it, just like many new policies in modern times have been demonized, and the new policies that Yang Xuan has implemented in Shunqing Mansion have also been demonized by others.

For example, Yang Xuan's establishment of a township office centered on the market was originally a matter of conforming to the historical trend of benefiting the country and the people, but it was said by some good deeds that he sent officials to go deep into various towns and towns to take advantage of the people.

For example, the abolition of the past local ruffian scoundrel tax collection system, and the change to the collection of taxes by the township office is also said to be Yang Xuan's clever robbery, gathering everyone's wealth for his own squandering.

After measuring the land, the fertile land is given 6 points, the dry land is 2 points, and the Ding is given 1 money and 2 points, which was originally a matter of recuperation and recuperation and common benefit with the people, but it is said that it is clever and fierce, the world is so big, and the local tax may be levied so low?

Yang Xuan's taxes collected from the local government were several times that of before, so he must have set up a clever name, cleverly grabbed and oppressed the people.

In addition, everyone also had opinions on Yang Xuan's exclusion of dissidents, on the one hand, he frantically expanded his lineage, and on the other hand, he organized the troops that came from Shun, and reduced the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, so that the injured brothers had no way to live, so that the main generals of Liu Jinzhong's cavalry battalion were unwilling to return to the loyal army.

As Zhao Ronggui said in his letter, the plan for the present time is to first protect Baoning Mansion, and then send envoys to Zeng Ying's camp to find an official and a half-post in the Shogunate of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, so as to relieve the siege of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

In order to disperse the forces of the loyal and righteous army, Liu Jinzhong, in the name of the governor of the Xiaocai battalion of the Great Western Army, implored Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu to send troops to rescue and attack the loyal and righteous army from Tongchuan Prefecture, while on the other hand, he personally led the main force back to Langzhong City to rescue Zhao Ronggui.

Liu Jinzhong sent messengers to Tongchuan Prefecture and asked Zhang Dingguo, the general of Dingxi, and Zhang Nengqi, the general of Funan, to lead troops to attack Shunqing and force him to retreat.

On the other hand, Liu Jinzhong led his troops to gallop to the aid of the starry night, and spent two days returning to Jinping Station on the south bank of Langzhong City, where he wanted to cross the Jialing River, but Chen Huaixi led the navy to block the river, and it was even more difficult to cross the Jialing River.

Hearing the sound of artillery on the opposite shore and the shouts of killing, Zhang Nengqi suddenly paid attention.

In the afternoon of this day, he left the old and weak soldiers in the barracks, personally led the main force to sail more than 20 miles to Maozizui upstream, connected more than ten boats together, made a pontoon bridge, and led his troops to cross the Jialing River.

The scouts of the Loyal and Righteous Army were dispersed very widely, and in order to prevent the personnel from being swept away by the flood, torches were also lit around the pontoon bridge, and the fire was bright, and the scouts of the Loyal Army were discovered by the soldiers who stood on a high place to observe the enemy's situation, and flew to the camp overnight.

Hearing that the main force of the Great Western Army had crossed the Jialing River and was now killing from behind, everyone was shocked, and Liu Liang was covered with beads of sweat on his face, begging to lead his troops to retreat.

Pointing to the dense trenches under the city wall, Yang Xuan raised his sword, shook his head, and said, "I originally wanted to encircle the point and send reinforcements, first annihilate its reinforcements, and then capture Langzhong City."

Now that Liu Jinzhong is leading the army to kill from behind, we don't need to panic. Liu Jinzhong's department claims to be 20,000, but how many people can cross the Jialing River in half a day?

We need to adjust our troops, and the combat is inconvenient, and this Zhang Nengqi's long-distance attack has greatly reduced his combat effectiveness.

In this way, although we didn't ask for anything, we didn't suffer too much, right? ”

The deployment was immediately adjusted, and Liu Weiming led the 6th Regiment and Feng Shuangli's 7th Regiment to hold the trenches to block the counterattack of the Great Western Army in the city.

Chen Huaixi was ordered to lead the sailors to the north to break the pontoon bridge and cut off its support.

Let Yao Zhijiao lead the 3rd Regiment Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment and Ma Mingluan's 9th Regiment to adjust their deployment, occupy dangerous places, and guard against the Great Western Army coming from the northwest.

Yang Xuan personally led the cavalry regiment and guard regiment as reserves to deal with various crises at the right time.

The orders were conveyed one by one, the defense line and the position were tensely adjusted, and everyone gathered around the sand table, pondering possible changes and thinking about how to deal with them.

The soldiers were fast, and when the various departments were adjusted, the cavalry battalion of the Great Western Army arrived, and before everyone reacted, they broke through five or six positions in a row and rushed to the north gate.

Ma Mingluan, the commander of the 9th Regiment, was shocked, and on the one hand sent a messenger to Baba Temple to report the emergency, and on the other hand, he personally led the escort squadron to arrive, and saw that a captain was actually surrounded by soldiers.

It turned out that when they heard the enemy cavalry rushing to kill, this local brigade, which had just been reorganized from the militia group, panicked one by one, and saw his soldiers fleeing, but the captain could not restrain everyone, and everyone fled together, so it became a collapse.

Ma Mingluan's heart tightened, and with a wave of his big hand, he tied up the captain and killed him in front of everyone on the spot.

In the face of the panicked soldiers, Ma Mingluan brandished his bloody saber and said with a simple horn: "Brothers, although the Great Western Army is menacing, and although the Iron Cavalry of the Great Western Army is as fast as lightning, the north of Langzhong is full of hills, thousands of ravines, and many places are sheep's intestine paths, and it is quite difficult for the three of them to go together, not to mention the cavalry of the Liukou?"

As long as we overcome our inner fears, as long as we fill the roads, we can completely use the earth-shattering thunder to disperse the swarming enemy horses, and we can completely occupy the surrounding dangerous peaks and shoot them with birds, bows and arrows.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in difficulty now, but the adults are adjusting the defense, as long as everyone persists, when the reinforcements arrive, what can the rogue endure me? ”

Everyone seemed quite hesitant, the new captain brandished a big knife and shouted to follow me, and the gendarmerie squad behind him raised the lit bird gun, retreated to death, and moved forward to live, and even those who were greedy for life and afraid of death were coerced back to the battlefield.

Worried that he would not be able to restrain the rout in front, Ma Mingluan looked at Ma Zhong, the leader of the guard squadron beside him, and asked him to lead a team to the front fork to restrain everyone.

Following the rout soldiers just came to the fork, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and saw the rout soldiers fleeing down in groups, Ma Zhong asked the 100 people he had just collected to occupy the mountain roads on both sides to shoot the Liukou, and on the other hand, he gathered the rout soldiers and piled up mountains and rocks as a shield.

But how could those routs be willing to obey orders at first, and when Ma Zhong killed three routs in succession, making people hang their heads in front of the position, everyone was a little quiet.

The rout regrouped, so there were fifty or sixty people, everyone held their breath, and saw the rogue killing, a temporary killer team stood in front, everyone lined up in a mandarin duck formation, the squad leader, the captain of the army in front, the iron cavalry who rushed over from a distance to shoot arrows, and behind were rattan players, wolf players, and spearmen and boring palladium hands who shot arrows and crossbows.

In addition to the dozens of people on the road, there were more people standing on the mountain beams on both sides, aiming at the riders on horseback from a distance.

All of a sudden, the guns were loud, and the riders on horseback tried to dodge, but the road was narrow, the space was limited, and the arrows rained down, and the sound of birds was more dense than firecrackers, and in a moment seven or eight riders fell.

During this period, although two or three horsemen rushed to the front of the formation, but through the sparks that were constantly burning in front of them, it was quite difficult to see the enemy horses rushing left and right, and everyone couldn't help but smile, and rushed over under the leadership of the team leader, and kept stabbing with wolf whisks from a distance.

The rider wanted to rush over, but before he could reach him, he was blocked by a horizontal wolf, and fearing that the horse would be injured, the rider hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse, and took advantage of this opportunity to arrive behind the soldiers, cut off the horse's legs, and hit the horse's head.

The rider had just dodged the big knife that Wu Chang slashed at the horse's leg, when he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the horse's body, and it turned out that the boring palladium hand waved the boring palladium, and hit the horse's neck hard, and the whole horse was seriously injured and almost fell.

This is all practiced in the past, during the training, the captain, the general or something many times mentioned to deal with the war horse, everyone used the spirit after the morale was greatly boosted, no longer as panicked as at the beginning.

The sporadic riders who rushed over were constantly cut off their horses, and the morale of the people was greatly boosted, and Ma Zhong led his troops to continue to rush to the rogue at the pass in front of him, so as to kill the iron cavalry and infantry of the Great Western Army.

Standing outside the Baba Temple, observing the enemy situation with binoculars from time to time, after the initial panic, the positions of the regiments gradually stabilized, and the whole crisis was resolved.

At the most dangerous moment, Yang Xuan personally commanded the large Franc machine guns around him to shell the place where the rogue might gather, as Yang Xuan said, it was suddenly attacked, and the various units were now fighting alone.

And the flight of the Furlong cannon is to tell his soldiers that they are not alone, and the Chinese army can provide any support to them at any time.

Because the north of Langzhong is full of deep ravines and dangerous valleys, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Great Western Army has many soldiers and horses, it is difficult to deploy, everyone is crowded in the deep ravines, and the time to invest troops on the front line is limited.

The combat strength of the Great Western Army was far inferior to that of the Loyal Army, and the number of people thrown into the front line did not have an absolute advantage.
