Chapter 3 Tiger Ben's Bloody War Quells Rebellion

Section 16 Pacification (3)

Dajian Mountain.

Liu Yunwei took Guo Yi and 50 guards to swim in Dajian Mountain for half a day, watching the scenery everywhere and lingering, and it was called "exploring the enemy's situation". It wasn't until almost noon that Liu Yunwei, under Guo Yi's repeated urging, walked very unwillingly towards the Hanwei army camp at the bottom of the mountain.

"Zong Zhen, I don't know when tens of thousands of rebels will emerge in this big sword mountain, how can you run out with such a few people! You know, you're the commander of a 100,000-strong army! ”

Along the way, I can't count how many times Guo Yi complained, but Liu Yunwei just smiled faintly and didn't care at all.

Liu Yunwei rode leisurely on the war horse, admiring the surrounding scenery while saying casually: "Don't worry, I estimate that the rebels are no longer in this Great Sword Mountain now." The scenery of Dajian Mountain is so good, it would be a pity not to come and see it, so let's take this opportunity to relax. ”

Guo Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "General Town, since the rebels have fled, then let's not look at the scenery, hurry up and divide the troops to chase it!" ”

"No need to chase! Besides, the rebels didn't run away. Liu Yunwei looked in the direction of Sword Pavilion City to the south and said, "If my estimate is correct, now that rebel army has rushed to the area of Sword Pavilion City. ”

"What!" Guo Yi was shocked and angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "Zongzhen, what the hell is going on!" ”

Liu Yunwei was not in a hurry to answer, and when he saw that it was already noon, he beckoned everyone to rest and eat something under a big tree.

"Sit down first, and I'll tell you slowly."

Fifty guards divided more than a dozen people to investigate the situation, and some of the remaining guards began to bury the pot to cook, and some seized the time to rest; And Liu Yunwei sat with Guo Yi and said: "I couldn't detect the movements of this rebel army until the night before, so I felt that something was wrong." Later, I thought about it, maybe this rebel army didn't want to fight us in Dajian Mountain, after all, our strength was several times that of the rebels, and their combat power was far stronger than the rebels, so they had no chance of winning. Since the leader of this rebel army can do something to attack our army's food route, he will not be so reckless, let alone so simple-minded. ”

After listening to this, Guo Yi said with all his thoughts: "In other words, the target of the rebels is still Sword Pavilion City?" ”

"That's right!" Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "I judge that this rebel army must want to lure our main force to the area of Dajian Mountain, find an opportunity to take Sword Pavilion City by itself, and take the opportunity to rush south to attack Chengdu!" ”

Guo Yi was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why did the head town say this?" ”

Liu Yunwei asked rhetorically: "If you were to lead the troops, how would you act in the face of a situation where defeat was almost inevitable?" ”

After thinking about it, Guo Yi shook his head and said: "There is no way, except to surrender, the only way is to be defeated and die." ”

"But I think there is another option in the heart of the leader of this rebel army, that is, to capture Chengdu, even if the army is defeated and killed, he will bring a large group of people to bury him."

Guo Yi thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and exclaimed: "King Shu! The King of Shu in Chengdu City! ”

Liu Yunwei said with a frightened face: "Yes, the loss of the vassal king is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans, which is why I sent the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to Chengdu." If we wave our army north to Dajian Mountain to find the rebels for a decisive battle, we will definitely fall for the rebels' tricks, resulting in the emptiness of the strength of Sword Pavilion City. ”

At this time, Guo Yi's face was already a little pale, and he asked, "Zongzhen, what is the basis for you to say this?" ”

"No, I just made the most reasonable judgment based on the current situation." After Liu Yunwei finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Let's make a bet, that rebel army will definitely be blocked by Lu Ying and them in Sword Pavilion City, so it's okay to bet on a year's salary?" ”

In the evening, Liu Yunwei, who had returned to the camp of the Hanwei army, received an urgent report that he would not receive the night: "Nearly 10,000 rebels suddenly appeared in the mountains three miles north of Sword Pavilion City, and they are moving rapidly towards the undefended Sword Pavilion City!" ”

At this time, Guo Yi had already admired Liu Yunwei to the ground, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Liu Yunwei.

Liu Yunwei didn't notice Guo Yi's expression, and after thinking for a while, he said loudly: "Light the fire immediately!" ”

In the camp of the Hanwei army, three huge piles of dry firewood have already been prepared, each pile of dry firewood is enough to be one zhang high, half a zhang wide and narrow, and fire oil has been poured on it to support combustion. After Liu Yunwei gave an order, the soldiers of the Hanwei Army who were guarding the dry firewood pile immediately lit it with torches, and in an instant, the three piles of dry firewood ignited a raging flame. In the dusk, three huge flames rose into the air, and they could be clearly seen from more than ten miles away.

At the same time, Lu Ying and the others, who were marching three miles south of Sword Pavilion City, received an urgent report that they did not receive at night: "Ten miles north of Sword Pavilion City, a sky-high fire has been discovered!" ”

When Lu Ying heard this, he immediately made a decision, and immediately led more than 30,000 soldiers from the Feiyu Battalion, the Tiger Battalion, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion to the north and galloped towards Sword Pavilion City.

An hour later, the army rushed to the city of Sword Pavilion. At this time, Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao were shocked to find that Sword Pavilion City had been occupied by the rebels, and the banner of the word "luxury" was fluttering on the city wall.

Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao glanced at each other, and the eyes of the three of them were full of shock: "The eldest brother must have expected the idea of the rebels fighting Sword Pavilion City a long time ago, the question is when did the eldest brother become so expected?" Could it be like Zhuge Liang, just pinch your fingers and know that the rebels will sneak attack Sword Pavilion City? ”

"What are you waiting for? Siege! Zhao Kaishan finally saw this last rebel army, and immediately shouted excitedly.

Lu Ying looked at the dim sky, but shook his head and said, "Since the rebels have appeared, then we are not in a hurry. Set up camp first, and the army will attack the city with all its strength early tomorrow morning! ”

After saying that, the 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army began to set up camp and blocked the southward path of Sword Pavilion City.

was equally shocked with Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao, as well as the rebel general Hao Donghu. After receiving the urgent report, Hao Donghu hurried to the south city wall, looking at the 30,000 Han Wei troops who appeared outside the city, and Hao Donghu's face was full of incredible expressions.

At this moment, a rebel soldier ran over in a panic and said, "General Qiyu! The main force of the official army was found in the north, with no less than 50,000 troops! ”

"What!" Hearing this, Hao Donghu's eyes suddenly darkened, his body shook and almost fell to the ground, his hands tightly grasped the arrow stack beside him, and he gasped for breath.

"How so! How did the commander of the Hanwei Army know my intentions! ”

Faced with the desperate situation in front of him, Hao Donghu really couldn't understand why his painstaking plan was easily pierced by Han Weijun?

Since Hao Chongming sent Hao Donghu to Yilong City to guard the rebel army's grain route, he began to plan his own combat strategy, and was ready to submit it to Hao Chongming for implementation after the plan was perfected. Because in the eyes of Hao Donghu, the gap between the strength of his own side and the official army is too big, even if the army can start to break through all the way and attack the city, it must be difficult to last, and sooner or later it will be defeated by the imperial court. Therefore, if you want to win this war and force the imperial court to recognize the separatist situation formed by the luxury family and the An family, you must take risks.

So, Hao Donghu thought of concentrating the main force of the army to contain the soldiers and horses of the Hanwei army, and then led the elite army to threaten the grain route of the Hanwei army, forcing it to return to the army of Jiange City, and then took the opportunity to break through the pass and go south to raid Chengdu, playing with the 100,000 Hanwei army on the applause, and completely dragging it to death. As long as Chengdu is defeated and the king of Shu is killed, it will not only be as simple as building a city, but the world will be shaken, the government and the opposition will be shocked, and maybe the emperor in Beijing will cut down the commander of the Han Wei army on the spot in anger. At that time, the head of the family, Lu Chongming, and the head of the An family, An Bangyan, will have the capital to negotiate conditions with the imperial court.

However, after exhausting the extravagant Donghu organs, he never expected that Extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan would die in a battle, and the main force of tens of thousands of troops would be wiped out in a battle, and his originally planned seamless combat strategy instantly turned into a dangerous move to die in an instant.

"Is it really providence?"

Hao Donghu looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time, and the subordinates next to him asked what to do, Hao Donghu just shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Order, let the soldiers of the army go to rest, the officers and soldiers will not attack the city tonight, if there is anything, let's talk about it early tomorrow morning." ”

After finishing speaking, Hao Donghu left in despair.

Early the next morning, the main army of the Han Wei army in the north of the city of Jiange all drove out of the camp, and the 50,000 army began to prepare for battle, Liu Yunwei led Wu Xing, Huang Fuming, Gao Hongguang, Wang Kangdang, Guo Yi and others to the front of the formation to watch the battle. Looking at the slightly flustered rebel soldiers in Sword Pavilion City, everyone admired Liu Yunwei very much.

It didn't take long for Edward, the commander of the Chinese artillery battalion, to send someone to report that the five artillery battalions of the pacesetter battalion, the trapping camp, the Yulin battalion, the Yingyang battalion, and the Zhechong battalion were ready, and 110 large Buddha Lang machine guns were lined up, ready to bring a devastating blow to the rebels.

At the same time, Liu Yunwei also saw a wolf smoke appear in the south, and his heart suddenly calmed, pointing to the wolf smoke and saying to everyone: "It seems that Lu Ying is also leading the army to prepare to attack the city, and these tens of thousands of rebels are already trapped in Sword Pavilion City!" ”

Everyone was extremely excited when they heard this, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit.

Liu Yunwei saw that the time was not early, so he ordered the army to start attacking the city, and at the same time ordered the soldiers of each battalion to attack in turn, without giving the rebels any respite, and must capture Sword Pavilion City today to completely end this protracted rebellion!
