It is late autumn now, and the weather is still very hot, and the bodies of the dead soldiers and seriously wounded soldiers are transported back to the capital city in a wheelbarrow, or for burial, or treatment.

Due to the large number of war dead in the Great Western Army, they were basically buried on the spot, and the captives were asked to dig several large pits, and then the corpses were thrown into the large pits one by one and filled with soil.

These are all written into the regulations, and each battalion implements them on their own, without the need for special supervision.

Sitting in the big tent, looking at the other side from time to time, the sun is in the west, and the Great Western Army has no reaction, is this a bit abnormal?

Standing on the map in front, Yang Lin and the generals discussed the possible movements of the Great Western Army, and everyone also seemed quite puzzled, according to everyone's thoughts, now that the Wangjia Bridge has been destroyed, if you want to cross the Qushui River, the Great Western Army can only detour to the upstream and downstream shoals.

But what makes people strange is that there is no news on the other side, which, this makes people feel strange.

At this moment, a water ghost came to report, the camp of the Great Western Army was noisy, it seemed that the Great Western Army was ready to pull out the camp and pull upstream, it seemed that the Liukou was blocked, and was ready to find another way to cross the Qushui River from the upstream.

Then, the Tanma sent upstream reported that the Great Western Army was now beginning to cross the river, and it seemed that it was ready to set out from the upper reaches to flank the Volunteers.

When everyone heard this, everyone asked for battle.

Yang Lin's strategy is to take the Qushui River as the boundary, first stop the Great Western Army for a few days, and if the other party automatically retreats, it is very good.

If the battle is unfavorable, then use the trench under Shunqing City to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the opponent.

Now seeing that only the news of the upstream rogue came from the front line, Yang Lin seemed quite hesitant.

Among the generals of Daxi in the previous life, in addition to Zhang Xianzhong, who slaughtered Sichuan, the most familiar is Li Dingguo, two famous kings in history, and finally died in a foreign country, and he is an out-and-out national hero.

Now against such a famous general, Yang Lin is of course doubly careful, but now looking at his use of soldiers, how can it be so commonplace, is it just that ancient celebrities are just like this.

Everyone saw that Yang Lin seemed quite hesitant, and some thought that the scholarly anger had been committed again, just like yesterday they could have shot the Liukou in the river, but they actually gave up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as everyone was about to speak, suddenly two horsemen came running from the north, and one knight shouted while running, saying that he was the old man of the prefect, and there were 100,000 urgent soldiers to tell him.

The person who came was a young scholar, and the guards helped him into the big tent, claiming to be Zhang Lang, a showman, a person from Suining County (at that time, it belonged to a county under Tongchuan Prefecture).

In order to avoid forcibly conscripting scholars to enter the CD, Zhang Lang and a few friends heard about the rise of the Volunteer Army, and its leader Yang Lin was also a deputy leader, and everyone had also known each other during the imperial examination. (A few years ago, I visited the Sichuan Gongyuan in the ancient city of Langzhong, and I heard that the number of people in each township examination show reached 10,000 people, and everyone left their hometown early, or traveled together, or lived in a hotel, and the high school students in the same year had a special friendship, just like the same year in the same year, which was quite close.)

On this day, everyone stayed in Sanqingguan, thirty miles to the north, and at noon they saw a group of rogue robbers riding war horses, riding donkeys, and clearly dressed in armor passing through the valley four or five miles ahead.

Even the pro-army under the governor in the past was not as good as this army and horses, and the vast majority of the whole army rode livestock.

Everyone was shocked, Zhang Lang rode the only horse, and ran all the way to report the news.

Originally, Zhang Lang couldn't have arrived so early, and the war horse was dying in the middle of the road, but when he met the volunteers to explore the horse, and heard that the military situation was urgent, the team leader asked everyone to continue to inquire about the news, and he rode to the barracks with Zhang Lang.

Hearing that the Great Western Army Brigade appeared thirty miles to the north, everyone talked about it and couldn't believe it.

The Volunteers not only sent multiple scouts on the east bank, but also sent more than 30 water ghosts to hide in the woods and reeds by the river to find out the news.

If it was not to be discovered by the volunteers, the Onishi army needed to march secretly twenty miles west of the river, and then go around in a big circle and walk fifty miles of mountain roads to do so.

Yang Lin's eyes lit up, the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army were called Liukou by the imperial court, just like the army in the previous life, and used this tactic many times.

Also, last year, the Great Western Army attacked Chongqing, and also used this tactic, when the Ming army set up heavy troops in the Tongluo Gorge, Zhang Xianzhong personally led the army to attack Jiangjin to seize the ships, and then approached Chongqing downstream, causing the Ming army to collapse, and Chongqing, an important town in eastern Sichuan, was easily captured by the Great Western Army.

Secretly suppressing the surprise in his heart, Yang Lin first hired Zhang Lang as a staff member to help deal with the paperwork. Then he smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's see, if you don't be discovered by our army, even if Zhang Dingguo personally leads the team, even if all the troops are people who can recruit good soldiers, but the Great Western Army still needs to walk an extra thirty miles of mountain roads, and the roads along the way are rugged and very difficult to walk."

As Zhang Lang said, those who found the traces of the Great Western Army from time to time quickly whipped all the way, and it took an hour to rush to the army to report the news (two hours).

Now the two armies are at the same level, and the different opponents are mainly cavalry, and our side does not need to save more than 30 miles by detour. ”

Everyone was shocked, especially the left garrison of Shunqing Mansion, the 7th Division General Feng Youqing, how could a two-legged one run over four legs?

Others are slowly confident, different from other military units, the first few battalions of the Volunteer Army are from the mountains and crops, before enlisting not only required a daily march of more than 80 miles (Yuan Shikai's new army required 100 miles), but also after enlistment, they carried out rapid marching training every three or five times.

Everyone firmly believes that on the march in the middle and long hilly areas, the volunteers are not too far behind the elite of the rogues.

The situation was urgent, Yang Lin dictated the military order, and the departments immediately implemented the order.

Send fast horses to the city of Shunqingfu, let the militia groups enter the fortifications, and let the rebels strengthen the city fortifications to prevent the sneak attack of the Great Western Army.

Scouts were sent along the way to the upper and lower reaches of the Qushui River and to the city of Shunqing to inquire about the movements of the Great Western Army so as not to be ambushed by it.

After personally leading the escort battalion and cavalry battalion, he ordered all the troops to pull out the camp and retreat to Shunqing Mansion City.

As soon as the order was issued and the various departments had retreated, Jin Tongwu, the governor of the camp on the opposite bank, led hundreds of officers and men of the Great Western Army with excellent water characteristics to jump into the meandering water, preparing to come over to entangle the volunteers.

Yang Lin personally led the guard battalion to stand on the bank, facing the river, and the two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, although the losses were heavy, but Jin Tongwu did not have the hunger to retreat at all.

Seeing that the various units had withdrawn, Yang Lin was worried that the lone army would be taken advantage of by the enemy, so he led the escort battalion to retreat.

Jin Tongwu was overjoyed, commanded everyone to cross the Qushui River, and pursued with more than 1,000 people who had detoured from the north to chase all the way.

After more than 20 miles of pursuit, before the sun set, Bu Ning and Guo Chonglie led a cavalry battalion near Octagonal Village to respond, fighting all the way, killing more than ten rogues who were too eager to pursue, so that they were not desperately chasing as they did at the beginning.

Seeing the Liukou retreating, Yang Lin did not dare to delay, and after leaving the cavalry camp to break off, he personally led the escort battalion to march forcibly all the way, and returned to the West Mountain next to Shunqing Mansion City at the same time.
