Chapter 136: The Five Hades

"Damn, Lao Tzu picked up a life in front of the enemy, and it was easy to run back, but could he not be shot to death by his own people?"

Luo Gai was about to speak, but Mr. Qian stretched out his hand to stop him, took out a waist card and handed it over: "You are Li Shuai's subordinate to open the word camp, right?" Is it under the management of Lu Qian, or by the management of Chai Qian? Wang Shifa, who was supposed to be the Shengzi Battalion, had just withdrawn from the former enemy, got lost in the ravine and walked here, and wanted to ask you for a bowl of water to drink, can you give me a face? ”

Luo Gai rolled his eyes and tried his best to recall, but he couldn't remember what Wang Shifa looked like, in the tens of thousands of troops, he always grabbed a handful, loaded a basket, and usually forgot it even if he saw it.

But this Wang Shifa should be his own person, a Nanjing dialect is very authentic, and he is very familiar with the inside of the army, Luo Gai knows that the Shengzi battalion has just been transferred to Bazhangdong Mountain, and it is reasonable for the wounded soldiers to be withdrawn in the battle with the Chu army.

"In that case, please wait, I will order someone to fetch water." Luo Gai nodded, as long as these people don't go near the beacon, other things are easy to discuss.

"Thank you, well, this master is my family's Wei Shuai's master, he is old and weak, let him go to the shade to rest, and then help find two mouthfuls to eat, okay?" As he spoke, Mr. Qian invited an old scribe from behind, who looked like he was a staff member in the army.

"That'...... Okay, I can only ask this lord to go up alone, you and you will stay here, and you will be offended. Luo Gai hesitated for a moment, and saw that he was a bad old man over half a hundred years old, wearing a long shirt and obviously not carrying a weapon, and finally nodded in agreement, you know. This master must be Mr. Wei's henchman, so he let this Mr. Qian protect him. It's always a good thing to be able to have a good relationship with such a big person.

The master followed him to the top of the mountain, when he was still a dozen steps away from the beacon tower. Suddenly, as soon as he raised his hand, a cold light shot out, and there was a soldier under the beacon tower who was holding a torch on standby, but there was suddenly a flying knife at the throat, and his body fell to the ground as soon as he was weak.

Pan Jiagui is strong in martial arts, and he is the first master under Wang Kefan, although he usually doesn't like to use hidden weapons, but he can use one law and one hundred laws, and at the critical moment, he used the knife to serve the country to the level of Xiao Li's flying knife. While Rogue was still stunned, he punched him in the neck, dodged the saber with his backhand, and slashed him to the ground.

Dozens of steps behind, those "wounded soldiers of the green battalion" also suddenly attacked, rushed up and fought with the real green battalion soldiers, although there were few of them, but they were all elites from a hundred, plus Pan Jiagui, a master, helped. After a while, the Green Battalion soldiers were slaughtered.

"Master Pan, why don't you practice palm techniques recently and use boxing techniques instead?" That Qian was always pretended to be a "nail" of the Intelligence Bureau, and Pan Jiagui once instructed him in martial arts. He also admires Pan Jiagui's skills very much, especially the set of elegant gossip palms, Pan Jiagui can be called a shock. Graceful as a dragon, full of the demeanor of a peerless master. Now he beats people with his fists like ordinary martial artists, which makes "Nail" puzzled.

"It's better to use your fists on the battlefield." Pan Jiagui leaned down. He pulled out his national service knife from the corpse of the Qing soldier, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he disappeared into the cuff.

After Chen Youlong climbed to the top of the mountain, he clasped his fists and saluted him: "There is one more thing to ask Master Pan for help, the patrolling Tartar will arrive here at noon, please Master Pan to send them away." ”

The Qing army's patrols came once every two hours, and if they were all wiped out, they would have more time to delay.

Pan Jiagui and others took the order, and Chen Youlong left a team of disguised soldiers to pretend to stay on the top of the mountain, instructed them to rearrange the beacon tower, and then took the town camp over the mountain and went straight to the Herb River......

In the nameless valley, the officers and soldiers of Chu were still sitting in place to rest, but the flintlock pistols were all held in their arms, ready to set off at any time, and several generals took out their pocket watches from time to time to look at the time, and their eyes were full of excitement and joy. The camp has been gone for two hours, and there has been no movement so far, indicating that they have not been exposed, and the hope of a successful surprise attack is getting bigger and bigger.

In the beheading operation, Wang Kefan gathered tens of thousands of Chu troops, and if he attacked the camp of the steep mountain gate from the front, he should also be able to win, but the real target of the Chu army was Putang Village, so it was necessary to quickly take the steep mountain gate, and then go straight to Putang Village, and before Zilharang had time to react, he would knock out his headquarters and baggage warehouse.

The only thing that can be done now is to keep waiting.

Suddenly, a brilliant firework rose behind the mountain in the distance, and the generals of the Chu army immediately jumped up, and looked into the distance with their necks raised, and then, two fireworks rose one after another in the near place, the color pattern was the same as the agreed code, conveying the same news - the Zhenxiao camp crossed the Vanilla River, and the surprise attack was successful!

The Zhenxiao battalion quietly came to the vanilla river, sent elite soldiers to swim across the river, solved a Qing army pond in the valley, and then began to build a rope bridge. At first, it was a thin rope, and the thin rope pulled out a thick hemp rope with the thickness of an arm, and the hemp rope pulled a heavy iron rope...... The engineer battalion sent by the engineer battalion are all masters of this road, and it only took a quarter of an hour to build a rope bridge over the Herb River, two solid iron cables are used to bear the load, and two hemp rope handrails are pulled on it, and then a simple bridge can be paved to pass unimpeded.

There were nearly 10,000 Qing troops in the camp of the steep mountain gate, but most of them were infected with the plague, and there were only more than 2,000 soldiers who could really fight. Out of fear of the plague, the Qing army camp took very close care of these sick people, all weapons and armor were confiscated, locked in the quarantine area and strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and the deep ditch was fortified as if facing a great enemy, for fear that the epidemic would worsen and cause a large-scale bombing of the camp.

Suddenly attacked, guarding the steep mountain gate camp of the Qing army commander on the one hand to organize the battle, while sending people to light the pier beacon fire alarm, but the attack of the town camp is unusually sharp, he has just gathered half of the soldiers and horses, the Chu soldiers have already killed into the camp, like a tiger rushing into the flock, the Qing soldiers who were caught off guard were scattered, and the Qing army commander also died in the chaos.

When Wang Kefan arrived with the Gongyi battalion, the battle had ended, most of the Qing troops guarding the camp at the steep mountain gate were annihilated, and only a small number of routed troops fled to Putang Village. After the chaos, I didn't run away, and all of them became prisoners...... No. It can't be called a prisoner, because Chen Youlong didn't intend to surrender at all. Or waste their troops on them, and instead order their men to light a fire and prepare to burn them all to death.

In the midst of a ghost crying wolf, a group of Qing soldiers rushed to the wall, regardless of the flames on their bodies, they climbed up, but the town soldiers guarded the wall, and beat them down again, most of the Eight Banners soldiers were very stubborn, and they still scolded the Chu army when they died. But there are also some people who have become very fragile because of illness, kneeling on the ground and crying non-stop, pleading bitterly with the Chu soldiers.

"Wang Junmen, these Tartar soldiers have been infected with the epidemic, just in case, the last general has to make his own opinion, set fire to the entire camp and burn it clean, and ask the military gate to forgive the crime......"

Chen Youlong reported the battle situation to Wang Kefan, but glanced at them from time to time. The eyes are like a drunkard holding a glass of wine, and the smoker can easily find a cigarette butt after he stops smoking, full of intoxication and satisfaction, and his poker face, which has not changed for thousands of years, has finally changed. Amazingly, like the woman who had just finished the incident, her face was flushed and her face was radiant...... and the nickname of "King of the Five Yamas" was not called in vain. No matter what changes Chen Youlong's beliefs have, his ruthless personality has not changed. He has always liked the torture method of peeling and cramping, and after joining the Chu army, he was forced to restrain a lot. Now he finally seized an opportunity to torture and kill thousands of people, which was simply a constant orgasmic enjoyment for him.

"What a pervert! But I like it! This is Wang Kefan's true mentality.

Although Chen Youlong's methods were a little cruel in doing this, it solved a big problem for him, otherwise he would feel embarrassed to kill or not in the face of thousands of prisoners of war who were lying on the bed and couldn't move...... The Chu army has a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, although it is not resolute in the face of the Eight Banners, but Wang Kefan, as the commander-in-chief, directly ordered the slaughter of thousands of prisoners of war who have lost the ability to resist, after all, there are many concerns, if these prisoners of war are not killed, it will leave a huge hidden danger, Wang Kefan is even more unacceptable.

At the very least, Chen Youlong took the black pot for him, after all, it is very important for a leader to maintain the perfect image of Gao Daquan, and it is not a good thing to have a reputation of being "cruel and easy to kill", or "self-defeating".

"Since this is already the case, let's give them a good time." Wang Kefan put down the next sentence and turned away.

Chen Youlong hugged his fists and sent him off, turned around and had become full of murderous energy, and waved his hand at the town guards, and hundreds of flintlock pistols were raised in unison, aiming at the Eight Banners soldiers in the quarantine area.

"Fire." Chen Youlong's tone was very calm, as if he was leading the soldiers to hunt, but his henchmen and relatives all knew that the marshal was not familiar with muskets, and he rarely personally commanded the musket team to shoot, but today he did the opposite, which showed that he enjoyed the process very much.

With a row of gunshots like bursting beans, those Eight Banner soldiers who could still move fell to the ground one after another, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Youlong's mouth. Although these thousands of Eight Banner soldiers are harmless to humans and animals now, once they regain their health, they will become vicious enemies, and only by killing them all can they be truly relieved...... Wang Junmen must have thought the same way, but he is not good at giving this order in person, as a subordinate, of course he has to share his worries for the superiors.

Leaving a team of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Chen Youlong took the town camp and hurried to Putang with the large army.

……

Putang, the camp of Zilharang.

Having fought all his life, his nerves have long been honed with tenacity, and no matter how dangerous the battle situation is, once he has made a decision, he will go forward, and do his best to realize his tactical intentions and defeat the enemy...... You know, hesitation on the battlefield is a taboo for generals, and the commander has no confidence in victory, can he still expect his army to win?

But in the past few days, Zilharang always had a feeling of uneasiness, feeling that something was not right, and repeatedly scrutinized the tactical deployment of the Qing army, but did not find any flaws. In the end, he could only laugh at himself, when he was old, he would inevitably suffer from gains and losses, and after this battle, he would return to the court, and he could not lead troops to fight in the future.

"Maybe it's been too much pressure lately." Zilharang used to fight wars and only considered purely military issues, but now he is under more pressure: "The Battle of Ningzhen is related to the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, the life and death of the whole clan, and involves all aspects of the imperial court. ”

In this battle, no defeat is allowed to be won, even if it is a miserable victory or a small defeat, it will cause a huge shock.

The Battle of Ningzhen has developed to the present, the Qing army obviously occupies the initiative, the Chu army is fighting on three fronts, and the three lines are struggling to support, and it seems that it may collapse at any time, but Zierharang always feels that something is wrong...... This is like a boxing match, the Qing army hit out a series of fierce combination punches, which made the Chu army stagger, and it looked like he was about to knock out the opponent, but the Chu army dangled around and did not fall, but hugged the Qing army tightly, making the Qing army gradually lose its sharpness.

"Where the hell is the Gongyi Battalion?" Zilharang pondered over the map.

As the number one main force of the Chu army, the Gongyi battalion has been very low-key in the battle of Ningzhen, and after a few small battles, it suddenly disappeared and became a stealth force.

He Luohui has strong troops, coupled with Tan Tai's soldiers and horses, Wang Kefan throws the last trump card in his hand, and he may not be able to defeat He Luohui immediately, is he assuming the banner, but secretly transferring the Gongyi battalion away, what conspiracy is brewing?

"That's how it should be!" Why do you always feel uneasy in your heart, Zierharang finally found the reason, Wang Kefan is the first good general of the Ming army, how can he be tied up when he sees the unfavorable situation of the war, and play refueling tactics with the Qing army in Bazhang Cave Mountain?

He must have wanted to turn offense into defense, aiming at a certain weak link of the Qing army and launching a surprise attack in order to reverse the passive shape.

Where is this weak link? Zilharang's eyes searched back and forth on the map, and he paused when he swept over his five-point plum blossom camp, and then left again - impossible, this is definitely impossible, the Qing army is now a dumbbell array, if the Chu army comes to fight the five-point plum blossom camp, Maoshan and the Qing army in Bazhangdong Mountain will return together and immediately smash them into meatloaf.
