Chapter 23: Surprise Attack on Yunshan Ancient City

Seeing that the officers and soldiers chased to the foot of the mountain, the infantry rushed up the mountainside one by one, and the six teams of Ma Chao and the two monks of the Heavenly Star King Gao Zhang felt quite puzzled, the ancient city of Yunshan was difficult and dangerous, did the officers and soldiers want to capture the ancient city of Yunshan with this point of soldiers and horses?

This ancient city of Yunshan is the most important place in northern Sichuan, and it is also the eight pillars of Sichuan that resisted the Mongol army in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Leaving Wang Gao to lead the troops to defend in Erdaokan, Ma Chao led the troops to lead the horses and walk to the top of the mountain.

Although the impact of the war horse is very good, but it is difficult to last, everyone fights for a long time, especially this 3-4 miles of mountain road, which makes people sleepy and lacking, in order to preserve the physical strength of the war horse, we dare not let the war horse load too much.

Everyone was sparsely pulled, the line was very long, just entered the city, suddenly heard a burst of gunfire on the city gate, everyone panicked, stopped one by one, and was about to see what happened.

At the same time, shouts of killing erupted, and more than 200 soldiers rushed out from all directions.

Suddenly, such a change occurred, everyone panicked, the cavalry outside the city shot a lot for the platoon of guns, everyone panicked, one by one had already scattered as birds and beasts, and did not dare to rush to kill.

And more than 30 horsemen in the city and the official army mixed together, because of the suddenness of the incident, many people did not have time to climb on the war horse, the official army rushed over, forcing everyone to abandon the war horse and dismount to fight.

But the other side was outnumbered, not an opponent at all, and seeing that it was surrounded by heavy encirclement, although there were still a few stubborn resistance, many people had to raise their hands and surrender.

Although a few people climbed on the war horse and prepared to flee, they had just climbed on the war horse and were mostly shot by the bird gunners in the distance.

Ma Chao turned over and tried to escape, but he failed, now the city gate has been closed, only a few horsemen around him are still resisting, but now they are surrounded by many people, everything seems to be in vain.

Ma Chao tightened the reins of the horse and was about to rush, but suddenly saw a big man rushing out of his side, picking up a big stick from a distance and hitting the horse's neck viciously, the war horse fell to the ground in response, Ma Chao Ma Chao was thrown far away, and before he could get up, he was pressed to the ground by several soldiers.

Ma Chao shouted loudly, he is also desperate to rescue this time, and he will not want to open himself to the knife?

was brought to a young general, Ma Chao struggled to raise his head, glared at the young general and shouted: "You, who are you, the big boss asked me to wait for rescue, but I waited for my life."

In today's battle, we lost more than 20 brothers. ”

Everyone laughed, and Yang Xuan said with a smile: "This official also knows that some people are cornered, as long as there is a little normal way out, who is willing to do the horse and do this insulting thing that insults the ancestors?"

The official promised everyone that as long as everyone laid down their weapons, as long as everyone promised not to harm the people again, the official could let everyone live. ”

There is no doubt that this young general is Yang Xuan, why he suddenly appeared in the ancient city of Yunshan, it needs to start from the battle of that day.

After retiring everyone, Yang Xuan believed that the Longmen Ferry was where the local tyrants were located, and the ancient city of Yunshan was the most difficult to capture.

Yang Xuan suggested that the army should be withdrawn from Pengzhou Prefecture to lure the local tyrants to attack, if the local tyrants did not come to attack, the official army would not have any big losses, and if the local tyrants came to attack, the official army could take advantage of the situation to defeat the other party in the field battle.

After a little defeat of the local tyrants, the official army attacked the Longmen Ferry and attacked Longjiao Mountain.

As long as the official army occupies the Longmen Ferry, it is equivalent to cutting off the local rioters on both sides of the Jialing River, and in order to rescue the main force of the local rioters in Longjiao Mountain, the local rioters in the ancient city of Yunshan will inevitably come to the rescue.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Xuan led his troops to take advantage of the fog to raid the ancient city of Yunshan along the country road, thus changing the situation on the battlefield.

In this way, the officers and soldiers returned to their horses and shot the local tyrants to defeat, and then seized the Longmen Ferry and firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

And taking advantage of the panic, Yang Xuan led his troops and horses to a small village below the ancient city, and one by one they were covered with withered grass and stayed in the woods after putting on makeup.

After staying like this for three days, everyone complained constantly, it was already winter, the weather was unusually cold, and there was no fire in the deep mountains and old forests, and many soldiers were frozen.

At this time, Ma Chao and Wang Gao couldn't stand it, and led their headquarters to kill the soldiers and horses from the cottage in a panic, and the cottage defense was empty.

Seeing that the local tyrant really hit the plan, Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and under the guidance of the guide, everyone took the path to the back mountain.

Because the ancient city of Yunshan was very difficult and dangerous, the Mongols attacked and besieged it for several years, and in addition to the more than 2,000 local tyrants stationed in the ancient city of Yunshan in the past, the city was full of people, and the local tyrants had no defense against the official army coming to sneak attack.

Today is different, Ma Chao and Wang Gao led the main force down the mountain to rescue Yao Tiandong in Longjiao Mountain, and only four or five hundred old and weak soldiers remained in the ancient city.

Guo Chonglie led more than 30 soldiers to the front, came to the edge of a cliff in the east, threw four or five hooks to the top of the ten-zhang high cliff, and after trying to have no problem, everyone climbed up the cliff, opened the city gate, and led the officers and soldiers into the ancient city.

At this time, the ancient city was full of old and weak soldiers, and everyone was leaderless, and they were not opponents of the official army at all.

In addition, the soldiers who had infiltrated the city a few days ago suddenly attacked, and when they saw the heavily armed officers and soldiers killed, everyone was terrified and did not dare to resist at all.

In this way, it took half an hour, Yang Xuan took over the defense of Yunshan Ancient City, and those prisoners were imprisoned in two large houses one by one.

At this time, the Malay newspaper was visited, and the local rioters fled without a fight and were retreating towards the ancient city of Yunshan.

Everyone pondered for a while, the main force of the local rioters defending the city was distributed in Erdaokan, and the fighting was not too fierce when they just attacked the ancient city, and the local rioters in Erdaokan may not have noticed that the official army had captured the ancient city of Yunshan.

In that case, why not put some of the thugs into the fight and then fight.

Dispatch troops, concentrate the main force outside the west gate, and after everyone is ambushed, they only wait for the other party to surrender and be caught.

Ma Chao and the others were unaware, everyone led the war horses into the city one by one, and the officials and soldiers suddenly attacked, so they defeated the local tyrants and captured Ma Chao alive.

Now that the official army has controlled the situation, the cavalry led by Ma Chaosuo has been divided into two halves, more than 30 horsemen in the city have been completely annihilated, and more than 100 horsemen outside the city are leaderless and may flee at any time.

Time was pressing, Yang Xuan didn't talk nonsense, grabbed Ma Chao's shirt and said: "Ma Chao, the official army has taken control of the entire ancient city, and you are now under siege."

If you want to survive, then recruit cavalry from outside the city for Lao Tzu. Otherwise, beware of the dog's life. ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "What's the big deal if you die, twenty years later, you will be a good man, you want to kill or chop, whatever you want, if I Ma Chao frowned, Lao Tzu has your surname." ”

Yang Xuan slapped the other party in the face with his big hand, and then pinched his cheeks with both hands and said, "A good man, what kind of hero, just a bandit?"

Are you a good man as a bandit? Aren't you afraid of insulting your ancestors, do you still have the face to see your ancestors?

Lao Tzu gives it to you, but what you give to your brothers is a way to live, if you obey Lao Tzu, after the reorganization, it will be an official army, not only as a soldier to eat food, but also a hero after death. ”

Ma Chao looked dazed and at a loss, and his voice was not as stiff as just now: "My lord, you, do you mean not to kill us?"

Yang Xuan's eyes stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Are you stupid or what, as long as you really listen to Lao Tzu in the future, how can Lao Tzu be willing to kill you?" ”

Ma Chao shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, the world says that the official army kills people and arsons, kills good people and takes meritorious deeds, and robs the poor people, I, I don't want to be an official soldier?"

Yang Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded: "You turtle son, say you're stupid, you're really stupid."

There are scum among you tyrants. Of course, there are scum in the official army, and Lao Tzu can't control how other officials and soldiers are, but under Lao Tzu, as long as he dares to kill the good and risky people, as long as he dares to rob the people, Lao Tzu promises to give him a white knife in and a red knife out. ”

Ma Chao didn't believe it at first, and everyone laughed at it one by one, and finally heard that Yang Xuan was from a deputy list, and immediately agreed.

The thirteen families of Yao and Huang are the collective name of the bandits gathered together, and each leader has absolute authority in the army, and now after listening to Ma Chao's promise to surrender, except for a small number of officers and soldiers who are unwilling to surrender, most of the others have dismounted and surrendered to the official army.

At the same time as recruiting the local riot cavalry, Guo Chonglie and Yao Zhijiao led their troops and horses to kill them from the mountain.

And Yang Xuan led people to clean up the battlefield and count the money, food and prisoners left by the local tyrants.
