Text Volume 11, Chapter 1, Section 18 Attacking the Mountain
Twelve miles east of the mouth of the West River, there is a nameless hill.
Liu Zeqing led less than 30,000 defeated troops all the way east to this place, preparing to camp on this nameless hill for the night, and wait until tomorrow morning to lead the army back to Huaiyang City.
Liu Zeqing sat on a tree stump in a daze, thinking that more than half of the soldiers and horses under his command had been lost, and because he had listened to Zuo Liangyu's nonsense and the evil of the Zhenguo bus, he would definitely be very sad in the future, and even worry about his life, so he was extremely irritable in his heart, and had an urge to kill.
The defeated soldiers around them were also listless and demoralized, and those wounded soldiers kept wailing, which made the rest of the soldiers feel even more desperate in their hearts.
The soldiers and horses under Liu Zeqing's command were not originally considered an elite army, except for some of the soldiers and horses of the old battalion, the rest of the soldiers and horses could be said to be a rabble. This time, these soldiers and horses under Liu Zeqing's command were first frightened by the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry, and then suffered heavy casualties under the almost crazy onslaught of Huang Degong's troops.
In the middle of the night, a cold wind blew on the hillside, making more than 20,000 defeated soldiers who lacked clothing and supplies shiver, and many people were frozen to the point that their lips were purple and their faces turned pale.
Some of the defeated soldiers couldn't bear it in the cold wind and set up a bonfire with dead branches all over the mountains, but then they were extinguished on the spot by Liu Zeqing's family, who rushed to hear the news, and the defeated soldiers who lit the fire were also cut down on the spot.
A leader of the clan brandished a machete that was still dripping blood at the defeated soldiers around him who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and then shouted loudly: "The general has already ordered that no bonfires should be lit in the dark, otherwise it is very likely to attract Long Xiang Tieqi or Huang Chuangzi's subordinates, are your ears fucking deaf!" Whoever is tired of living and dares to light the bonfire again, this is the end! ”
After saying that, the team left angrily, leaving only a few cold corpses still dripping blood.
The hundreds of defeated soldiers around were still snuggling up to each other in the cold wind, except for a few people with angry faces, most of the rest of the defeated soldiers were insensitive, and seemed to have lost hope for the future.
In the second half of the night, the whole nameless hill had become extremely cold, and the howling cold wind was wanton in the woods, blowing more than 20,000 defeated soldiers to the ground, and some wounded soldiers with relatively weak physique could not even hold on, and were directly frozen to death in the woods.
Liu Zeqing was also wrapped in thick rags at this time, sheltering from the wind and cold in a bush. Under the faint moonlight, Liu Zeqing didn't feel sleepy, I don't know why I was always very irritable in my heart, and I always felt that something was going to happen tonight.
Before dawn, Liu Zeqing couldn't sit still anymore, and walked around in the woods with more than a dozen family members, until he looked at the rout soldiers all over the mountains, Liu Zeqing's heart settled down a little.
Suddenly, Liu Zeqing heard a strange sound from the woods, as if something was moving quickly down the mountain, which made people shudder.
Liu Zeqing didn't have time to think about it at this time, so he immediately snatched the horn from the waist of the family next to him, and then blew the horn with all his strength.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
The muffled sound of a horn sounded in the dark woods, and the soldiers around them were at first
I didn't know what to do, and then I completely exploded the pot.
"Enemy attack!"
"The Dragon Horse is here!"
"Defeated! Defeated! Run! ”
For a while, the entire nameless hill was noisy, and there were soldiers running around everywhere, rendering the dark night extremely strange.
Liu Zeqing looked at the scene in front of him with anger, he never expected that the 20,000 army would bomb the camp, in this way, even if the abnormal noise just now was not an enemy attack, the soldiers and horses under his command would be considered finished!
"Bounce! Bounce pressure! All the panicked bastards have been chopped down by Lao Tzu! ”
Liu Zeqing was unwilling to roar loudly, trying to lead hundreds of family members to control the army that had already bombed the camp, but after some efforts, the chaos continued, and Liu Zeqing was just doing useless work.
At this moment, there was a terrible sound of breaking the air, and a series of piercing screams were released. Immediately afterwards, Liu Zeqing saw countless points of light appear from all directions, which were countless ignited arrows, which were nailed to tree trunks or corpses after shooting many defeated soldiers.
The dense rain of arrows added to the confusion of the already out-of-control army, and many soldiers even began to trample and fight with each other, just to grab a way to escape down the mountain.
In the midst of the chaos, the entire nameless hill was lit with fire, and the rockets that continued to shoot into the trees from all directions ignited the dry trees and dead grass on the mountain in a very short time. In the darkness of the night, tongues of fire were beating everywhere, thick smoke filled the air between the rushing routs, and the sound of violent coughing was incessant.
Liu Zeqing had already collapsed at this time, and ran frantically down the mountain with more than a dozen family members, and everyone passed through one wall of fire after another, through bursts of smoke, and finally could see the scene under the mountain.
Moreover, Liu Zeqing's conspicuous armor was very dazzling under the light of the fire, and many routs along the way saw the main general who was fleeing, and they all followed Liu Zeqing and fled for their lives together towards the bottom of the mountain.
By the time Liu Zeqing and the others took the lead in rushing down the nameless hill, thousands of defeated soldiers had already followed behind them.
"Finally ......"
After escaping to the bottom of the mountain, Liu Zeqing didn't have time to cheer, and he was horrified to see that there was already an army of thousands of ironclad people waiting for him under the nameless hill, and the banner of the army was the Hanwei Army Flying Feather Battalion!
At this time, Jiang Wentian, the general of the first battalion of the flying feather battalion, looked at the embarrassed Liu Zeqing, couldn't help laughing excitedly, and said to the subordinates around him: "It seems that the luck of this general is good, this Liu Zeqing actually escaped from the path guarded by this general, it seems that our A battalion is going to make a contribution tonight!" ”
After speaking, Jiang Wentian ordered thousands of soldiers of Battalion A to attack.
After the order was given, thousands of soldiers of the A Battalion marched forward in formation and pressed towards the more than 1,000 defeated soldiers under Liu Zeqing's department.
You must know that in terms of the combat power of Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses, even if they are fully equipped and their combat power is at their peak, they are by no means the opponents of the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion.
Not to mention that now Liu Zeqing's troops and horses are already lost dogs and defeated deserters! At this moment, Liu Zeqing and the more than 1,000 defeated soldiers around him were undoubtedly hitting the stone with eggs against the thousands of soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion who were waiting for the battle
Life!
Not to mention Liu Zeqing, even those defeated soldiers who don't know a single big word know it. At this time, seeing that the elite Hanwei army, which was several times larger than itself, launched an attack, these routs did not hesitate at all, and immediately blew up their nests and fled in all directions.
At the foot of the mountain, in the dark night, more than 1,000 rout soldiers fled all over the field, making Jiang Wentian stunned, and suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't catch up.
After a little hesitation, Jiang Wentian ordered thousands of soldiers to pursue separately, with a hundred soldiers of the First Battalion, divided into dozens of teams, to pursue the enemy troops who were completely dispersed.
And Jiang Wentian led two hundred guards to rush forward, through the crowd and straight to Liu Zeqing!
At this time, there were only eight family members left by Liu Zeqing's side, and the rest of the soldiers and horses had already fled, and the group didn't know where to flee, but they kept running in the night, as if this was the only way to keep themselves alive.
At this moment, a family member next to Liu Zeqing suddenly fell to the ground with a scream, and a feather arrow was nailed to his back.
Liu Zeqing looked back suddenly, only to see a general of the Feiyu Battalion leading one or two hundred elite soldiers to chase up, led by dozens of soldiers one after another with bows and arrows, and in the blink of an eye, dense sharp arrows roared and shot, and the family members around Liu Zeqing fell to the ground screaming one after another.
In an instant, Liu Zeqing was left alone, and all the family members around him were shot and killed.
Liu Zeqing already knew that he was going to die at this time, and his whole person completely collapsed, yelling, crying and making trouble at Jiang Wentian and the other soldiers, like a madman.
Seeing this, Jiang Wentian said coldly: "I knew why I had to do it today!" Now that the thieves and Tartars have been destroyed, if you don't do a good general soldier, you have to mix blindly with the Donglin Party and Zuo Liangyu, who will Zhenguo Gong kill if you don't kill an idiot like you? ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Wentian pulled the strong bow in his hand to the full moon, and shot through Liu Zeqing's neck with an arrow.
Looking at Liu Zeqing who was lying in a pool of blood, Jiang Wentian said to the guards around him: "Look at Liu Zeqing's head, let's go back and report to the general town!" ”
At dawn, the fire on the nameless hill not only did not go out, but burned bigger and bigger, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky, which was spectacular against the background of the morning glow, and was clearly visible dozens of miles away.
Lu Ying was worried that the fire would affect the surrounding mountains and forests, so he ordered the soldiers of the Heavy Battalion and the B Battalion under the Feiyu Battalion to urgently dispatch to dig a fire ditch around the nameless hill to control the fire on the mountain and prevent it from spreading around.
Lu Ying looked at the nameless hill that was in flames, and sighed in his heart: "The killing and wounding in this battle is too heavy, and more than 20,000 people are all gone!" Perhaps, this is what Zhen Guogong said, the price that must be paid for the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty! ”
At this time, a man who did not collect his horse at night came and said loudly when he got closer: "Qiyu Town! Zhen Guogong had already led the army of the pacesetter battalion to leave Yangzhou City and was rushing towards the Kuabu Ferry. Zhenguo Gong ordered our army and Long Xiang Tieqi to rush to Jiangpu Ferry to assemble after solving Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and other thieves! ”
Lu Ying groaned for a while when he heard this, and then said to the person who did not accept the night: "Order Jiang Wentian, the general of the first battalion, to lead the army west to meet the Longxiang Iron Cavalry, and the rest of the main army will immediately enter the east to assemble at the Jiangpu ferry and stand by!" ”
