Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

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

Section 7 Yangwei Nanjin Pass (2)

Extravagant Guanggui stared closely at the official and military iron cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and saw a battle flag painted with a pattern of a forest spear pointing to the sky fluttering high, and more than a thousand elite iron cavalry were rushing over in a formation with the battle flag, which was the cavalry battalion under the jurisdiction of the Hanwei Army's folding camp!

Seeing that the situation had been completely corrupted, and knowing that there was no life today, he shouted: "Soldiers, there is no life today!" Kill with me and fight with the officers and soldiers! ”

Hundreds of rebel soldiers broke out into the last madness before they died, roared in unison, waved the weapons in their hands and rushed behind Hao Guanggui, rushing towards the front of more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers of the battalion.

At this time, the distant mountain was also full of people, and Wang Dangdang led more than 5,000 soldiers from Battalion A, Battalion B, and Battalion C under the jurisdiction of the Zhichong Battalion to rush out of the mountains and forests and kill them from the mountain. And the officers and men of the battalions scattered in the bureau as a unit to pursue and kill the thousands of rebels who had broken and fled.

At this time, Hao Guanggui couldn't take care of anything else, and completely gave up the scattered subordinates behind him, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers in front of him, and it was not in vain that the head of the family was in vain that he knew his kindness.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides cannot be filled by a single passion. The hundreds of rebels led by Hao Guanggui have no formation at all, and in the face of thousands of iron cavalry troops of the Zhichong Battalion with strict formation, superior troops, and strong combat power, let alone the strength of a battle, they don't even have the basic power to resist.

When extravagant Guanggui rushed into the formation of the Iron Cavalry Army, he also wanted to kill a few soldiers of the Folding Battalion with a sword, and he had to pull a few cushions on his back when he died. However, before he could draw his sword, he was knocked to the ground by a strong war horse wearing a vest, and was immediately trampled into rotten meat by the iron cavalry army. And the hundreds of rebels behind Lu Guanggui were not much better, they were rushed to pieces by the iron cavalry army, and they were swept away by the iron cavalry army in a blink of an eye, and they became corpses in less than a cup of tea, and there was no casualty among the iron cavalry troops in the folding camp!

Then, the commander of the cavalry battalion ordered the iron cavalry army to disperse in place to assist the comrades of the A, B, and C battalions to clear out the remnants of the rebels who had fled in all directions, and end the battle as soon as possible.

At the same time, Wang Gandang and Wang Bo were chasing the fleeing rebels with their swords, and the two of them were not happy to kill, and they were even more excited to see that the cavalry battalion had wiped out the enemy in front of them.

After Wang Bo hacked a rebel soldier to death with a knife, he shouted to Wang Dangdang: "General, this battle is really painful, how did you come up with this desperate plan?" I'm really convinced! ”

Wang Dangdang kicked a rebel soldier away, then stepped forward and stabbed him, glared at Wang Bo angrily, and said loudly: "Can you speak?" What is a desperate plan? I'm calling it strategizing! Do you understand? ”

"Haha, whatever the general says, as long as he can win the battle." After speaking, Wang Bo rushed to the other side with more than a dozen soldiers to continue to strangle the rebels.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, and there were not many remaining rebels around, Wang Dangdang no longer went into battle in person, but took a hundred personal guards to rest on the spot, preparing to send someone to report the victory to Lu Ying, who was in Nanjin Pass.

By this time, the eastern sky had turned white, and a new day was about to begin. Wang Dangdang looked at the sky in the distance and said to the guards beside him: "Okay, with our Hanwei army here, the rebels won't be able to jump for a few days, and the sky in Sichuan will be bright." ”

An hour later, Lu Ying received a good news from Wang Kangdang, and the good news wrote in detail about the battle. After reading it, Lu Ying laughed, and immediately said to Gao Hongguang and Jiang Wentian: "Haha, our Wang Guerrilla is really a general, and he was able to think of this method to break the military spirit of the rebels, and wiped out 10,000 rebels with six or seven thousand people from the Folding Battalion A, Battalion B, Battalion C and the Cavalry Battalion, and beheaded the rebel commander, and the loss of the soldiers of the Folding Battalion can be said to be very small. It seems that I am going to ask my eldest brother for the soldiers of the Zhichong Battalion. ”

After Gao Hongguang and Jiang Wentian heard this, they were also very happy, and they asked the army to attack immediately, and the whole army waved their divisions to the west to attack Zitong City, where the rebels were entrenched, and surrounded the main rebel army led by Hao Chongming in Zitong.

Lu Ying thought for a moment and said: "Our Feiyu Battalion, Zhichong Battalion, and Yingyang Battalion together are more than 30,000 soldiers, and according to the results of the night inspection, the main force of the rebels led by Hao Chongming is also 30,000 horses, and there is not much difference between us and the main force of the rebels. If we really want to fight, although I am confident that I can win, the casualties of the soldiers will not be small, and fighting a group of rebels will have to suffer heavy casualties, which is very unworthy for our Hanwei army; What's more, there is still a battalion of soldiers and horses to be stationed here in Nanjin Pass to prevent An Bangyan's troops from arriving in advance, this is the southeast gate leading to Zitong City and Sword Pavilion City, so that the troops we can mobilize are even more insufficient. ”

Gao Hongguang and Jiang Wentian also thought about it carefully, and they both felt that Lu Ying's words were very reasonable, so they asked the army how to act next.

Lu Ying pondered for a while and said: "Before we left, my eldest brother said that the final main direction of attack in this battle is still the main force of the army under Sword Pavilion City, and our task is to firmly hold Nanjin Pass, and at the same time attack and harass the rebels, and take the grain and grass of the rebels if the situation allows." ”

Gao Hongguang nodded and said: "Now it seems that we will not be able to take down the grain and grass of the rebels for a while, after all, Zitong City, where the rebels hoarded grain and grass, has 30,000 rebel main forces to defend it. In this way, all we can do is harass the rebels. ”

Lu Ying said with a smile: "That's right, I have an idea, we may be able to stir up the rebels!" After speaking, Lu Ying sent someone to Wang Dangdang as a herald and ordered him to immediately lead his troops back to Nanjin Pass.

Three days later, Yu Chongming, who was far away in Zitong City, received an urgent report from the scouts, and learned that the 10,000 troops he had sent to attack Nanjin Pass had been wiped out, and Nanjin Pass had fallen into the hands of the Han Wei army.

After getting the news, Yu Chongming was immediately shocked, he never expected that the Han Wei army would be able to make a detour to Nanjin Pass in such a short time, and gather and annihilate his 10,000 troops in a battle. This shows that the Hanwei Army is not only strong, but also a terrifyingly strong elite tiger wolf! Frightened, Luxury Chongming hurriedly gave an order to Luxury Dangxu, who was stationed in the Sword Pavilion, and ordered him to defend the city to the death.

"This battle is not going to be good!"

Hao Chongming muttered: "Now our army is stationed in Jiange, Zitong and Qinglinkou, and the troops are very scattered. After Nanjin Pass fell into the hands of the Hanwei Army, the right flank of our army was completely exposed to the front of the Hanwei Army, and now the Hanwei Army of Nanjin Pass can sandwich the Sword Pavilion to the north, Qinglinkou to the west, and our Zitong City to the south. The initiative in this battle has fallen into the hands of the Han Wei army, damn it! ”

The general on the side, Hao Donghu, said: "Family master, according to the current situation, what I am most worried about is not that the Hanwei army in Nanjin Pass is attacking everywhere, but that the Hanwei army in Nanjin Pass is guarding the city!" ”

Yu Chongming frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You mean that the Han Wei army in Nanjin Pass may block An Bangyan's troops in the east?" ”

"Exactly!"

"If that's the case, it's even harder. Being able to gather and annihilate our 10,000 troops in a battle shows that the strength of the Hanwei army in Nanjin Pass is at least 20,000. If the 20,000 elite officers and soldiers are guarded by the pass, An Bangyan will really be blocked in the east, unable to come and join us. And once Sword Pavilion City is lost, we will be the primary target of the Han Wei Army! ”

Hao Donghu frowned and said: "Family master, I thought that the order you told Xu Lone to defend the city before was changed, and did you transfer the 10,000 horses from Qinglinkou?" Now that Nanjin Pass has not been defeated, there is no point in just guarding a Qinglin Pass. We should now think about how to defeat the Han Wei army in Nanjin Pass first when ensuring that Sword Pavilion City will not be lost. ”

Yu Chongming nodded and said, "This is reasonable!" Come on, immediately give an order to the extravagant man stationed in Qinglinkou, give up Qinglinkou immediately, and quickly support Sword Pavilion City! ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Chongming lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and then said: "Now the grain and grass in Sword Pavilion City should be able to support for a while, taking advantage of this opportunity, I decided to lead the army to the east and conquer Nanjin Pass!" ”

Hao Donghu frowned slightly, and said, "Family Master, isn't it too risky to do this?" ”

Yu Chongming snorted coldly and said, "Then is there any other way?" The ice must now be broken! Besides, it was a big gamble for me to raise troops to resist the Ming Court this time, and since I was already gambling, I might as well gamble again. I want to see how capable the Hanwei army at Nanjin Pass is that it can stop the onslaught of my 30,000-strong army! ”

Outside the Sword Pavilion City, the Hanwei Army camp.

Liu Yunwei was very happy after receiving Lu Ying's report, knowing in his heart that Lu Ying would definitely launch an offensive against the rebels south of Sword Pavilion City as soon as possible, so he summoned the commanders of each battalion and prepared to concentrate the strength of the whole army to break through Sword Pavilion City as soon as possible.

Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao and others learned that Wang Gandang had made great contributions, and they were all gearing up to do a great job, and they all asked Liu Yunwei to fight.

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "After that extravagant Chongming learns the news, he will definitely increase his troops to Sword Pavilion City again, so the number of rebels we face will increase." In light of this, a hard attack is never a good idea, and I decided to use a strategy to win! ”

Everyone was very curious, and they asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Lead the snake out of the hole!" ”
