Text Section 371 The cost of mistakes
In Xiaojian Mountain, the non-stop Lu Mu couldn't hide the tension and excitement in his heart from exhaustion. The big battle is imminent, the bait has been thrown, and Lu Mu doesn't know if he can catch Duan Lang's big fish this time. Even if he can't catch it, Duan Lang's total strength is only more than 50,000 people, and even if he kills 10,000 of them, this will be an extremely heavy price for Duan Lang.
Lu Mu was extremely familiar with the soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Kingdom, and when he saw the list of generals brought by Duan Lang, Lu Mu could deduce that Duan Lang must have pulled the most elite forces over. Zhou Long, as the first fierce general of the Great Calendar Kingdom, the soldiers and horses he led have always been the best of the best. As long as Zhou Long and the eighteen guards followed, Lu Mu understood what kind of army he would face.
Although the ambush of Xiaojian Mountain this time is not as easy as that of the canyon, the terrain of Xiaojian Mountain is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is only one road under the mountain that can be crossed. As long as Duan Lang's army pursues to Xiaojian Mountain, Lu Mu will block both ends with rolling wood and thunder stones, and use arrow arrays and hook sickles to force Duan Lang's soldiers and horses into the river. You must know that once a soldier wearing armor falls into the river, there is basically no return. Duan Lang burned to death tens of thousands of Long Mu's army with fire attack at the canyon, this time Lu Mu used a water plan, he wanted Duan Lang to also taste the taste of losing his soldiers. Of course, Lu Mu prayed in his heart that it was best for Duan Lang and Na Tantai Mingyue to come in person.
Lu Mu looked at the soldiers hidden in the mountains and asked Man Zhan, "Are all the men and horses ready?" ”
"Rest assured, all the troops are waiting for the enemy to arrive." Man Zhan said excitedly.
"Full war, don't be careless, lessons from the past, that section of Lang is not so easy to deal with. Although the road under the mountain is only less than 30 zhang wide, it is necessary to guard against the enemy troops risking their lives to rush up the mountain forest to fight our army. Duan Lang's individual combat ability is very strong, and it must not be underestimated. Lu Mu admonished.
"Rest assured, Lord Governor, the side of the mountain and forest is equipped with a sickle array and a firearms battalion arrow array, followed by a spear and shield array. Even if they rushed to the death, there would be very little left, and the last general would never let the enemy into the mountains and forests. ”
Lu Mu nodded, "This ambush, it is impossible to destroy Duan Lang completely. After this battle, presumably Duan Lang will vent his anger. Have you memorized the ordinances that all the soldiers recite every day? ”
"In the past few days, the generals of various departments have been randomly inspected every day, and the guards now only remember that they are the second war regiment of the Moro country, from the border camp. Even if he was caught alive by Duan Lang, he couldn't ask anything. ”
"Well, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, that Tai Mingyue is very shrewd, only if she can't figure out who she is fighting with, can this battle be led by us."
"Lord Dudu, after this battle, it is estimated that Duan Lang will fight back wildly. Do you think we're going to take a detour to join Longmu, or are we going to stick here? ”
Lu Mu thought for a while, "The war is changing rapidly, let's take a look at the results of this battle first." If you can destroy Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue, immediately join forces with Long Mu to kill the other remnants. But I'm afraid that Duan Lang won't come in person. The scouts from the canyon, have they returned? ”
Man Zhan shook his head, "There is no news yet, it is estimated that the scout will take a detour, which will be a step slower than General Fang Gu Chao." ”
"Then wait for news after this battle. Ordered all departments to reconfirm the lot in charge and not to make any mistakes. After Lu Mu finished speaking, he stood up from a mountain rock.
Xiao Jianshan waited for the arrival of Duan Lang's army. At this moment, Duan Lang gathered his soldiers and horses and led Zhou Wu's army to Mamaia City. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue didn't go to attack the city, they rested for a few days, and they had to put on the appearance of going to war. Only in this way will the Moro kingdom be forced to mobilize troops and horses from all over the country to relieve the siege. This is exactly the technique that Tai Mingyue needs to encircle the point and send reinforcements, using the dragon herd to attract the rangers everywhere.
According to the information received in advance, the Moro State has not been able to deploy a large number of troops. Most likely, it is to withdraw a part of the men from the side of Chalchink. As for the soldiers and horses temporarily formed in other capitals, they were not vulnerable at all in Duan Lang's eyes. And Duan Lang is not afraid of Long Mu going out of the city to fight, don't look at the fact that his forbidden army camp only has 20,000 troops, but at this time, even if Long Mu is pressed with all his troops, he may not be able to eat the next Zhou Wusuo. As for the 30,000 troops from Xiaojian Mountain, Duan Lang and Mingyue analyzed that they should be temporarily assembled from the capitals of various places. In the face of such troops, Zhou Long's departure was simply a piece of cake.
Both Duan Lang and Tantai Mingyue overlooked an important factor, and that was that they had not received any information about Western Vietnam these days. However, Lu Mu's transfer of troops this time was not even known to the ministers of the Xiyue court, and Han Feng, who was in Dawan City, did not get any news. In addition, Da Fei's departure can be regarded as Lu Mu's coincidence. If Da Fei still followed left and right, Duan Lang would definitely let Da Fei go to this route to observe. With Da Fei's keen eagle eyes, the soldiers and horses hidden in Xiaojian Mountain will definitely not be able to escape Da Fei's detection.
In the camp outside the canyon, Zhang Ruming sat bored under the tree and gnawed on jerky. Duan Lang and Zhou Long divided their troops from left to right, leaving only a chariot battalion and a ballista battalion of less than 8,000 troops. Zhang Ruming wanted to follow, but Zhou Long went to war, and he was still a little stunned. And Duan Lang's side didn't fight, Zhang Ruming felt that it was boring to go. Today's Zhang Ruming misses his family Zhu Zhu very much, and I don't know if the child was born. knew that it was so boring, Zhang Ruming regretted coming to be the coach of this vain head.
Just when Zhang Ruming was bored, a Xiyue scout quietly withdrew from the grass. At the same time, Zhou Long's subordinates also caught up with Fang Gu's super-large army. The two sides were just looking at each other, and Fang Gu's super-large army was defeated and fled. If it was at the beginning of the war in the Moro Kingdom, Zhou Long would of course be vigilant. No matter how weak the Moro soldiers and horses were, they could not be so weak that they would collapse in a single face. But now, Duan Lang and Mingyue analyzed that this was a temporarily formed army of soldiers and horses, and they were killed and retreated in one face, which proved everyone's inference even more.
"Brothers, chase! Even if it's a group of city defense guards, we have to kill them and go back. ”
Zhou Long hasn't been killed yet, so of course he can't let this army run away. In any case, judging from the banner, it is also an army of 30,000 people, and the military merit list is counted according to the number of people. The military merits in hand are not taken in vain.
The army chased and killed all the way, and Fang Guchao was also surprised by the speed of Zhou Long's pursuit, and he couldn't get rid of it at all along the way. In the blink of an eye, he came to Xiaojian Mountain, and Zhou Long glanced at the terrain in front of him during the pursuit, but he did not order to stop the pursuit. Zhou Long knew that if there was another dozen miles, the opponent's war horses would slow down, and they were all good horses of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and they definitely surpassed each other in terms of endurance. Moreover, according to the pre-war intelligence information, Moro no longer had any more troops. Zhou Long didn't believe that there could be more than 30,000 troops around Mamaiya City. The scattered rangers in front of him are estimated to be the strength of the hard patchwork from all over Moro.
On the side of the mountain, Lu Mu saw the dragon character on the flag, which also matched his guess. Since Duan Lang didn't come, he killed the first fierce general of the Great Calendar Kingdom, and this gain is not small.
"Order, as soon as Fang Guchao's soldiers and horses pass, immediately put down the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone to block the way forward." Lu Mu shouted to the herald with an excited voice.
"Lord Governor, they are chasing too closely, I'm afraid they can't be separated." An observer lieutenant reported.
Lu Mu's face turned cold, "I'd rather cut off his tail than let go of Zhou Long." Execute the command! ”
"No!" The herald said yes and pulled out his horn.
As soon as the horn sounded, Zhou Long, who was in pursuit, was shocked in his heart and quickly pulled the war horse.
"It's not good, there's an ambush, quick, evacuate backwards."
As soon as Zhou Long's words fell, less than ten zhang in front of him, there was a rumbling sound on the hillside. Hearing this sound, Zhou Long's face suddenly turned pale. He was too familiar with the sound of the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone, and it was this kind of voice a few days ago that wiped out the tens of thousands of troops of Long Mu. Now, such a voice made Zhou Long feel frightened.
"Watch out for the mountains and forests, get ready for battle!" Zhou Long heard the sound of rolling wood and thunder stones from behind, so he had to pull his war horse and look at the mountains and forests cautiously.
So far, Zhou Long can only take a risk. It's just that he doesn't know how many soldiers and horses are ambushed in the mountains and forests, and what the other party's follow-up means are. If his soldiers and horses could rush into the mountains and forests, Zhou Long believed that even if he was ambushed, the other party would not be able to eat them.
The entrances and exits at both ends were sealed, and Zhou Long's army was trapped in a narrow mountain road. On the other side of the mountain road, there is a boiling river. Just as Zhou Long was about to give the order to attack the mountain, suddenly, one after another fire snakes shot down. These guards were all experienced veterans, and when they heard the sound of the bowstring, they immediately jumped off their horses and hid on the side of their horses without orders.
Puff puff puff ~ The war horse neighed and the voice screamed, and Zhou Long's army also had to retreat to the river to open up the effective shooting distance of the arrows. But 20,000 soldiers and horses were congested in the middle of the road, looking at the fallen horses and guards, Zhou Long's eyes couldn't help but burst bloodshot. Many of the guards held small arms and shields and bowed back. Zhou Long glanced at it and found that on the edge of the mountain forest, there were hooks and sickles that flashed with cold light, and the fierce arrow rain made them unable to rush through at all. Even if they risk their lives to rush to the past, there will not be many brothers who will survive, and they will have little hope of surviving in the face of those waiting collaborators and pikemen.
What a familiar scene this is, a few days ago they trapped the Dragon Mu army, but they didn't expect that a few days later, this disaster would fall on them. Zhou Long shouted angrily, and was about to risk his life to rush into the mountains and forests, but was stopped by President Xu Dazhuang.
"General Long, you must not do this, the casualties of our soldiers are too large, even if you rush over, there will be not much left."
"Nonsense, you can't just wait for death. Even if I, Zhou Long, die, I'm going to pull a few pads. Zhou Long had green tendons on his forehead, he had never fallen to such a point for so many years. Even if he tried to fight hard, he couldn't even see the appearance of the enemy soldiers.
The frenzied rain of arrows drove the army to the edge of the river, and if it retreated, it would only fall into the river. President Qian, Xu Dazhuang, insisted and said, "General Long, hurry up and order the whole army to cross the river, how much can you live." ”
Zhou Long's eyes widened, "Bastard, this armor entered the river, and a few of them could come up alive." Xu Dazhuang, if you kid dare to disturb the morale of the army, believe it or not, Lao Tzu, this is military law for you. ”
"General, what's the use of keeping it if you don't take off your armor at this time. War horses will swim in the water, and it is much better to catch the war horse and go down the river than to annihilate the whole army. Staying in Qingshan is not worried about running out of firewood, and I implore the general to give an order quickly. Xu Dazhuang glared at Zhou Long very seriously.
Zhou Long was shocked in his heart and looked at Xu Dazhuang in surprise. Zhou Long hesitated for a moment, and looked at the mountains and forests again.
Xu Dazhuang continued, "From the density of arrows and the analysis of the soldiers and horses on the edge of the forest, it can be said that there are definitely no less than 20,000 people hidden in the mountains. At this time, our troops had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and while they had not advanced to the range of the arrows, I begged the general to give the order quickly. Otherwise, our army will suffer more casualties. Pulling the war horse down the river, at least a group can survive. General, I'm here to press, little please. ”
Zhou Long glanced at the brothers who were hiding from the arrows along the riverbank with grief and indignation, and shouted helplessly, "Pass them down one by one, abandon all the equipment, take off the battle armor, and pull the horse into the river." Da Zhuang, you don't have to press back, how much can you live, let's go! ”
"No, General, if we move here, the enemy will definitely chase and shoot along the river. I'll take my brothers with me to block it for you. This group of mongrels dares to go out of the mountains and forests, and our brothers will definitely be able to kill enough. ”
"Bastard thing, let's go, it's a military order. If you really shoot Lao Tzu to death, it will be providential. Remove! Zhou Long stared at his reddened eyes and shouted angrily.
On the hillside, Lu Mu saw that the soldiers by the river had taken off their battle armor one after another, and immediately understood what they were going to do.
"Quick, the other party discarded the armor helmet, and ordered the arrow array to move forward, shooting them all."
At the same time as Lu Mu gave the order, many soldiers on the riverside pulled their war horses, and puff puff began to jump into the torrent river. When Zhou Long jumped down, he found that Xu Dazhuang hadn't taken off his armor at all.
"Da Zhuang, you kid dare to resist the order, Lao Tzu can't spare you." Zhou Long shouted with a cry, but was quickly swept down by the river. Zhou Long grabbed the horse's mane and looked at Xu Dazhuang and the others from a distance.
On the riverside, there are still about 300 people who have not taken off their armor. These people hid on the side of the fallen war horses with war knives in hand, and when the crossbowmen of Xiyue rushed over, Xu Dazhuang suddenly jumped up with three hundred dead soldiers. Some of the soldiers who were seriously injured or even dying also stood up tenaciously one by one.
Zhou Long watched his brothers fall from afar, and he felt that his heart was bleeding. But Zhou Long knew that even if he died, he would die on the battlefield, and he must not die in such a humiliating manner. The shouting and killing gradually faded away, Zhou Long howled angrily, closed his eyes in pain, and let the war horse float on the water.
The battle on the riverbank at the foot of the mountain ended quickly, but Lu Mu ordered to clear the exit quickly. He wants to send soldiers and horses to pursue along the stream, whether he lives or dies, he must see Zhou Long's corpse.
As soon as the exit in the mountain path was cleared and opened, a scout was seen running quickly.
"Lord Qiyu Dudu, that section of the Lang Department went to Mamaia City, and at this time there was only a chariot battalion in the canyon garrison. According to visual measurements, it is estimated to be less than 10,000 people. ”
Lu Mu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Did Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue stay behind?" ”
The scout shook his head, "Lord Qiyu Dudu, I didn't find Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue, but ~ I found that Shangguan Heavenly Master." ”
"Shangguan Xuanwu?" Lu Mu was stunned, "Great, full of battles, quickly lead more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from Fanggu to attack the canyon camp." Remember, burn the chariot and bring the fat dead man back alive, Pontus will be of great use in keeping it. ”
With 30,000 soldiers and horses dealing with less than 10,000 chariot battalions, Lu Mu knew that there was basically no suspense. The chariot battalion is used for large armies to charge the shield array, but against the nimble cavalry, the chariot is not an advantage. Not to mention, if the cavalry had brought firearms, it would have been an absolute disaster for the chariots.
Lu Mu never expected that Tangtai Mingyue, who has always been shrewd and cautious, would be so careless. It seems that the news blockade of their soldiers and horses is very effective, and Duan Lang has no idea that there are 60,000 Xiyue troops behind him.
Lu Mu moistened his dry throat excitedly, this big victory was enough to shake Duan Lang's foundation. Judging from the number of deaths counted, Zhou Long only escaped a few thousand soldiers and horses. Even so, it is not known how many will survive.
Since the defeat of Great Xia, Lu Mu has never been so comfortable. A resentment that had been suppressed for a long time finally let him vent.
"Duan Lang, Duan Lang, I, Lu Mu, want to see, burn your chariot, destroy your vanguard army, what else do you use to confront Ponturake. You shouldn't have ventured into Moro. This is not Great Xia, and you have nowhere to run after the defeat. The land of Moro will be the place where you will be buried. ”
A big victory made Lu Mu high-spirited, he not only sent Man Zhan to attack the canyon camp, but also ordered Fang Guchao to pursue along the river and be sure to kill Zhou Long.
At this time, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue were still in Mamaia City, threatening Long Mu in the city with a provocative attitude. A mistake in judgment and deafness of intelligence made Duan Lang pay the heaviest price since the Battle of Melan City. ()
