Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

Chapter 1 Divide the army and fight the traitors in three ways

Section 10 Breaking through the Barrier and Heading South (3)

There were only a few hundred soldiers of the Hanwei army trapped in the city by the rebels, but in the face of danger, the soldiers were not afraid, and under the leadership of Liu Yunwei, they rushed to the city with a roar, and launched a fierce attack with more than 1,000 rebels who lined up at the city gate.

Liu Yunwei took the lead with a gun in both hands, and knocked down several rebel soldiers in an instant, and the armor-piercing steel gun in his hand was waved by the tiger, constantly stabbing left and right, and the surrounding rebel soldiers could not get close at all; And Guo Yi led fifty guards to follow, and he also rushed into the rebel formation on horseback, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Just Liu Yunwei, Guo Yi and dozens of others have already rushed a thousand rebels to the point of unstable and discouragement, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers of the Hanwei Army who were like wolves and tigers came to the front, and the soldiers rushed and beat at the rebels' already crippled phalanx, Rulin's heavy spears and sharp horse chopping knives were like two soul pens, taking away the lives of a large number of rebel soldiers, leaving only corpses and Yin Hong's blood along the way.

At the same time, the rebel leader was directing a thousand of his subordinates to shoot arrows and stones outside the city, and was doing his best to kill and wound the more than 2,000 Hanwei soldiers gathered outside the city. The soldiers of the Hanwei army stranded under the city were all melee soldiers, and they did not carry firearms, bows and arrows, let alone siege equipment such as ladders, and they could only defend against the attacks of the rebels, and they could not fight back at all. Seeing that they could not enter the city in a hurry, the more than 2,000 soldiers could only temporarily retreat under the command of a thousand generals, and sent people to report to the three guerrilla generals Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao, asking the army to come to support immediately and enter the city as soon as possible to rescue Liu Yunwei and other soldiers, lest it be too late for a change.

Seeing that the more than 2,000 Hanwei soldiers outside the city retreated a little under his own blow, the leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart settled down a little, and then he remembered the hundreds of Hanwei soldiers trapped in the city, so he ordered 500 soldiers from the city wall, and prepared to go to the city gate to check the situation and annihilate the officers and soldiers on the spot as soon as possible.

The leader had just hurried down the city wall with five hundred soldiers and horses, when he saw a very terrifying scene. I saw that the 1,000 subordinates who had been arranged at the city gate in advance had collapsed, and there was no formation at all, and they were chased and beaten by hundreds of Hanwei troops, and they had already collapsed; And the group of Hanwei troops was led by a fierce general, who was the one who shouted to him under the city before.

"Kill me and kill all these officers and soldiers!"

The leader was shocked and angry at this, and roared loudly, and then led five hundred of his men to rush forward, preparing to withstand the attack of this Han Wei army, taking the opportunity to gather the already scattered men, and delusionally hoping that he could turn defeat into victory.

At this moment, Liu Yunwei, who was killing the rebel soldiers, heard the shouts of the leader, and as soon as he turned around, he found the location of the leader, and suddenly secretly shouted in his heart, and then left the surrounding rebel soldiers and rushed over with a few personal guards. More than thirty steps away from the leader, Liu Yunwei hung the spear in his hand on the saddle, copied the iron-tired strong bow behind him in his hand, and at the same time a feather arrow was in his hand, and immediately pulled the strong bow into the shape of a full moon.

"Medium!"

Hearing Liu Yunwei's loud shout, the feather arrow suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning that passed through the five hundred rebel soldiers, hitting the neck of the rebel leader, and a stream of blood spurted out, splashing the surrounding rebel soldiers' faces all over bright red. The blood of the leader was like a basin of cold water, and it instantly extinguished the morale of the rebels.

"The leader is dead!"

"Defeated, defeated!"

"We've surrendered, don't kill me!"

The surrounding rebel soldiers were already like frightened birds, and in the face of the onslaught of the Hanwei soldiers, they could only resist with human lives and were tired of parrying.

Liu Yunwei laughed and galloped in the city, behind Guo Yi led a hundred guards to follow closely behind Liu Yunwei, and more than 100 strong iron horsemen rampaged among the rebels.

"Immediately put down your weapons and surrender on the spot!"

Liu Yunwei shouted loudly, and Guo Yi and a hundred guards behind him also shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill!" Death to those who resist! Surrender or kill! Death to those who resist! ”

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers of the Hanwei Army who entered the city also shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill!" Death to those who resist! Surrender or kill! Death to those who resist! ”

Where did the remaining 1,000 rebel soldiers in the city have the courage to resist at this time? Under the order of the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei Army, they dropped their weapons one after another, and knelt on the side in groups of three or five trembling, waiting for the disposal of these powerful officers and soldiers in front of them.

About a moment later, Liu Yunwei had already led his troops to control the situation in the city, so he ordered his subordinates to open the city gate. At this time, more than 2,000 soldiers who were in a hurry outside the city saw the city gate open, so they immediately rushed in, and then saw Liu Yunwei unscathed and more than 1,000 rebel prisoners.

Less than an hour later, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao, who received an urgent report for help, hurriedly led an army of 30,000 to the city of Sword Pavilion, but the three of them were surprised to find that the battle flag of the Great Bright Sun and Moon Jintao had been raised on the head of the Sword Pavilion. After entering the city, everyone saw that Liu Yunwei was uninjured, so they put their minds at ease, and asked about the process of the battle between the two sides, and everyone admired Liu Yunwei's decisiveness and bravery.

Liu Yunwei laughed and said, "Haha, don't wear a top hat for me, I'm just lucky." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei first asked the soldiers of each battalion to hurry up and rest in the city, and then prepared to settle down in the Sword Pavilion City that night; Then, Liu Yunwei did not forget to send some soldiers to inspect the city to prevent the scoundrels in the city from taking the opportunity to cause chaos and endanger the people, and to make a list to calm the people and stabilize the public order in the city. In the end, Liu Yunwei said to Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao: "Today, the army will rest in Jiange City for a day, and tomorrow morning, Li Tianhao will lead the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion to garrison Jiange City, and Wu Xing and Zhao Kaishan will lead the pacesetter battalion, the trapping camp and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Battalion to attack south, I think that a decisive battle will be launched under Zitong City and the department of Luxury Chongming!" ”

Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, and Zhao Kaishan all hugged their fists together to receive orders, and then they went down to give orders and prepare.

Early the next morning, Liu Yunwei led a total of more than 30,000 soldiers from the pacesetter battalion, the trap camp, and the tiger camp to the south of Jiange City, preparing to take Zitong City directly and start the final decisive battle with the rebels under the command of Yu Chongming. At the same time, Liu Yunwei was worried that Yu Chongming would abandon Zitong City because he was afraid of the might of the Han Wei army, and led the army south to escape, so he sent an order to Lu Ying's army at night, ordering him to lead the army to attack the area of Zitong City first, and be sure to block the army of Yu Chongming to prevent him from leading the army to escape.

After arranging these, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army went south along the official road, and it only took half a day to walk out of the twenty-mile road. At noon, Liu Yunwei ordered the army to camp and rest by an unnamed river, and prepared to wait until the army had eaten lunch before leaving.

An hour later, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei army had eaten and drunk enough, and were full of energy, so Liu Yunwei ordered the army to continue southward and be sure to cross the Xiaotongshui River before evening.

Not long after the army set off, Liu Yunwei received an urgent report from the night: more than ten miles west of the army, he found the rebel army of about 10,000 people, and they were rushing towards the direction of Sword Pavilion City at this time, and all of them were foot soldiers.

Liu Yunwei was secretly taken aback when he heard the news, but after a little thought, he understood that the rebel army of 10,000 people must be the rebel army stationed in Qinglinkou, and at this time, he must have received an order from Yu Chongming to go to support Sword Pavilion City. In other words, now the rebels don't know that Sword Pavilion City has been captured by the official army!

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei immediately had a plan in his mind and said to Guo Yi: "Immediately inform Wu Xing and Zhao Kaishan, and Wu Xing will command the army to continue south to Zitong City, and I will personally lead five thousand Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers to attack the 10,000-strong rebel army and destroy it first!" ”

Guo Yi said with some worry: "Big brother, I see if I should let Wu Guerrilla or Zhao Guerrilla lead the troops." The town is the courage of the whole army and the commander of the army, and you can't take risks every time, after all, the comfort of the town is related to the victory or defeat of this battle! ”

Liu Yunwei laughed when he heard this, and said: "Guo Yi, you have to remember, for the generals can't fight to the death and take the lead, how can tens of thousands of soldiers be convinced?" How can you make the soldiers willingly live and die for you? Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person, and I won't take risks easily if it's not a surefire battle. In this battle, I attacked the unsuspecting 10,000 rebel infantry with 5,000 elite iron cavalry, and it was definitely a devastated victory! ”

Guo Yi nodded, didn't say anything more, and immediately went to convey the order.

A moment later, Wu Xing led an army of 30,000 to continue south to Zitong City, while Liu Yunwei led 5,000 dragon cavalry to break away from the army and rush to the west.

On the way, Liu Yunwei said to Guo Yi: "This time to exterminate the rebels, you fought bravely, and left a lot of achievements, I think that after the victory of the army, you should not lead the guards by my side, and go to Longxiang Iron Cavalry to serve as a thousand generals." ”

Guo Yi was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and immediately said: "Thank you for the support of the town, I will definitely fight bravely and make meritorious contributions!" ”

At this moment, several people who did not take it back at night reported that "traces of rebels have been found in the three miles ahead!" ”

"Let's go! Soldiers, get ready for war! ”
