25 Hidden Mountain Attack and Defense

At this time, it rained lightly, the rain was not big, as fine as cow hair, falling on people's faces, making people very comfortable, but this gift from God, for Zhang Xianzhong, that is revenge, Huainan is rainy in summer, Zhang Xianzhong does not know, sparse, but now, their plan is more difficult to implement step by step.

"The rain in the sky, although it is more difficult for us to attack the city, but it can be more unexpected, and the officers and soldiers will definitely not think that we will attack the city on a day like tonight."

After thinking about it again, Zhang Xianzhong still decided to continue according to the original plan, as he said, Liu Liangzuo definitely didn't think that he would attack at this time, and the chance of winning was still very good, so Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to stop, there was not much time left for them, he had to hurry up.

On the head of the hidden mountain city, there are a few braziers sparsely lit, swaying in the drizzle and breeze, no one can be seen to defend at all, the leader is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Kewang, when Sun Kewang led the three thousand vanguard elite close to the city wall, he did not encounter any obstruction, and was not discovered by the official army.

Under the order of Sun Kewang, the hundred-man death squad led by the "......" threw out the rope in his hand, and the sound of da-da sounded, it was the sound of the hook iron buckling the city wall, and the hundred-man death squad climbed up along the rope.

......When the hundred-man death squad was about to climb the city wall, a series of sharp arrows broke through the air and hit the death squad who were ready to jump on the city, like a falling rock on the mountain, falling to the ground, falling into the mud, and overwhelming the people who were ready to go up to meet the city.

"Kill ......" At this time, the sound of shouting and killing sounded above the city, Sun Kewang was also surprised, the first thought was to hit the plan, the other party obviously had taken precautions, at this time he should retreat or continue to attack, Sun Kewang couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Just when Sun Kewang hesitated, someone from his rear had already rushed up, it turned out that Zhang Xianzhong, who was in the rear, rushed up when he heard the sound of shouting and killing, he didn't know that Sun Kewang was in the plan, thinking that Sun Kewang was at war with the official army, and at this time he naturally had to lead a large army to come up to respond.

"Bang... Boom..."The sound of artillery rang out, falling into Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses, and suddenly it was several feet in circumference, all of which were powder, and the people who were bombed were shattered and miserable.

"Haha...... You think Lao Tzu is a bully, tell you Zhang Xianzhong, you want to bargain in Lao Tzu's hands, no way, give me a hard bang, blow up these turtle grandsons! ”

At this moment, above the city pass, Liu Liangzuo was smiling insolently, he had long known that Zhang Xianzhong was not such a calm person, so Liu Liangzuo had already arranged and built a scaffolding above the city head, so as not to get the artillery wet and not be used, in addition, it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it looked like the city defense was lax on the outside, but in fact, Liu Liangzuo had already ambushed the soldiers and horses, just waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to take the bait.

On the top of the city, the big Buddha cannon fired one after another outside the city, and the muskets were fired one after another, Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses fell one after another, if Zhang Xianzhong himself didn't run a little slower, he would have fallen into Liu Liangzuo's poisonous plan at this time.

Liu Liangzuo is a veteran soldier, although over the years, he has won less and lost more, but he has lost a lot, and he has experience, and he knows more about Zhang Xianzhong, and he knows how to prevent them, although he has no ability to defeat them, but it is more than enough for self-protection.

"Withdraw ......" Zhang Xianzhong decisively issued a military order to retreat, the officers and troops have already taken precautions, if they are entangled, then the greater the loss, rather than so empty consumption of troops, it is better to be decisive, reduce the loss to the lowest point, in this way, you can also have sufficient strength to protect yourself.

Sun Kewang, who was on the front line of the "withdrawal ......", also led the rest of the people to evacuate immediately after getting the military order, and the men and horses he led had lost hundreds of people, these were all elites, but they were trapped under the city and served as targets for the officers and soldiers.

"Father-in-law......" Sun Kewang fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, and there was a feather arrow stuck in his arm, but he didn't care about it.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't blame Sun Kewang, and sighed: "I didn't expect this Liu Liangzuo to be so cunning, he was already on guard, and he designed to deceive me, it's really hateful!" ”

"Father-in-law, now attacking Qianshan, my army may not have much chance of winning, what should we do?" Sun Kewang was also unwilling, originally thought that he could hit Liu Liangzuo by surprise, but he didn't expect it to be such a result, now they have no chance of winning if they are aggressive, they can only evacuate, where to retreat, it must be decided by Zhang Xianzhong.

"Evacuate overnight, evacuate in the direction of Huguang, where the officers and troops are weak, there are not many soldiers and horses, no more than Huainan, withdraw ......" In the end, Zhang Xianzhong also gritted his teeth and retreated westward, although they did not lose much at the moment, but their morale was hit, so Zhang Xianzhong also knew that it was better to delay sooner rather than later, and it could not be delayed any longer.

"Dingguo, you stay and break the queen, and the defense officers and soldiers will then chase and kill ......" In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhang Xianzhong left the most courageous son Li Dingguo to break the queen, in case Liu Liangzuo chased and killed from behind.

That night, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, with the old and the young, continued to travel west, but so many people, such a weather evacuation, it is really not a simple matter, walked for more than three or four hours, but only twenty or thirty miles, but Zhang Xianzhong has no other way, he can not leave these people, his army is composed of displaced people, not only young and strong, but also their families, if they leave their families, these people are afraid that they will not follow, and then they will really become alone.

Liu Liangzuo naturally will not rush to pursue, how many soldiers and horses he has, he knows well, the defense is okay, if he fights Zhang Xianzhong head-on, he does not have much chance of winning, until the afternoon of the next day, Huang Degong's men and horses rushed to Qianshan, Liu Liangzuo did not put his mind at ease.

"General Huang, I will look forward to the general, just like looking forward to the rain after a long drought! Last night Zhang Xianzhong raided my hidden mountain, fortunately, Ben General was prepared, so they did not let them succeed, Zhang Xianzhong has led the army to retreat westward, my subordinates have few soldiers, do not dare to pursue rashly, the general is coming, we can attack together. ”

"After the general got the news, he immediately led the army to rush over, but he didn't expect to be a step late, but it rained in the middle of the night last night, the road is not easy to walk, Zhang Xianzhong is only afraid that he will not go far, after you and I join the army, we can suppress Zhang Xianzhong, so let's do it, you and I will immediately pursue, and then give Zhang Xianzhong a heavy blow, so that he will not dare to come to us again from now on to make trouble, and he can also give an explanation to the imperial court." Huang Degong was born as a soldier, and the good thing is to make meritorious contributions, so he agrees with Liu Liangzuo's meaning.

"In this case, I will immediately go to gather the troops and horses, and send out the troops in half an hour!" With Huang Degong's support, Liu Liangzuo is very confident, and now that Zhang Xianzhong is fleeing, even if they can't hit Zhang Xianzhong hard, they can still teach him a lesson.
