Chapter 255: I Have a Plan

Liu Yun stood on the tower of Jianmen Pass, looking into the distance, in the distance of the sunset and dusk, the Qing army flags were stacked on top of each other, densely arranged in the gap between the treetops and grass tops, there were countless camp tents hidden in them, occasionally horns and bells and drums sounded, and there were groups of patrolling soldiers shouting loudly, all of which showed that outside the Jianmen Pass, there were heavy soldiers of the Qing army gathered.

And in the distance below the Guanlou, where the arrows could not reach, some soldiers Nikan were busy carrying the corpses of the dead Qing soldiers, they were careful, while carrying, while always paying attention to the movement on the Guancheng, it can be seen from their looks that the reaction to the Guanshang is very jealous.

Liu Yun touched the scratches on the stone battlements, which were formed by countless solid shells fired from under the pass, the siege cannons used by the Qing army were all small Furang machine guns that were easy to carry, weighing no more than two hundred catties, basically all of them were small cannons of about 100 catties, and the projectiles fired were only less than five taels, which were acceptable for field warfare, and for siege, it was equivalent to tickling the city wall.

However, although the projectile is small, it still costs human life to be hit, so these small cannons are mounted under the mountain, whenever the city is attacked, it is shot indiscriminately, although Wu Sangui's artillery battalion soldiers are not high, and the projectiles shot out are either shot into the sky or hit the city wall, but the kind of roar when the cannon fires and the awe-inspiring power of the cannonballs are still very shocking, plus the dead soldiers who are shouting with resolute faces and shouting one after another, and the rain of arrows shot by the Eight Banners who fire bows and arrows behind them, the momentum of destroying the city, It can definitely scare the cowardly so much that they can't lift their hands.

Liu Yun stood on the Guancheng, witnessed the Qing soldiers attacking the city the day after he came to Jianmen Pass, and once again saw the fierceness of the Qing army with his own eyes, and naturally recalled the tragic situation when the Great Western Army fought against him, and he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, and his hair stood on end, almost producing the illusion that the next moment, this small Guancheng would be occupied by the Qing army.

Correspondingly, he also saw the Kuizhou army fighting for the first time, standing on the city wall and hiding behind the battlements, the Kuizhou army was like a precision machine in an orderly manner, according to their respective division of labor, doing their own things, the crossbowman aimed at the human head from the small hole in the battlement mouth to launch crossbow arrows, the bird commander also copied the bird, slowly and carefully aimed, and saw the shot, and more people, sweating profusely, operated the huge bed crossbow and carried the heavy stone, and threw the stone from the long slide rail that stretched out of the wall on the city wall. The round gravel smashed along the slide rail, smashed onto the stone plank road below or on the soil slope, and then rolled all the way down the mountain and rolled into the Qing army pile.

The number of guards on the city wall has always maintained a sufficient range, it does not seem crowded, and the soldiers are not afraid of weak hands and feet, they are calm and concentrated doing their own things, and they seem to be very well trained.

When someone was wounded in battle, someone came up and carried him down, and then from the cave under the city, he immediately rushed up to replace him.

Liu Yun stood for a day, stunned and didn't see that anyone in the Kuizhou army was killed in battle, and several injured were all careless, and they rose up, broke away from the protection of the city wall and the shield of the arrow board, and were injured by stray arrows.

What would happen if the Great Western Army came to defend the city? Liu Yun thought to himself, will it be so easy? Will the casualties be so small? Or, if other Ming troops were used to guard the pass, would the effect be so good?

Elite soldiers, this is the elite soldiers, the strong enemy presses the front without chaos, the threat is on the top and does not yield, rare in ancient times, even the elite guards of Onishi, can not reach such a point, it is fashionable to fight a good fight, once there is a defeat, except for a few loyal guards, most of the soldiers will scatter in fear, and then the whole army will be defeated.

Li Tingyu and Ma Xintian did not delay Liu Yun much, when the Qing army's offensive was repulsed, they immediately sent a squad to protect Liu Yun, leaving from behind the Jianmen Pass, they were going to Baoning Mansion, and then sent someone over there to inform Li Dingguo, who was a savage in the deep mountains, to find a way out of the mountain from the direction of Baoning Mansion, and the remaining troops of Baoning Mansion of the Kuizhou Army joined them, accepted the surrender, and reorganized in accordance with the rules of the Kuizhou Army.

Considering that Li Dingguo was injured, Baoning Mansion would have Lang Zhong with a medical box of medicinal materials and return with Liu Yun to treat Li Dingguo's injuries on the spot, so as not to delay treatment.

Liu Yun left with a full sigh, and behind him, the sword gate was closed, and the wolf smoke was billowing, and the murderous aura covered the sun, and the offensive and defensive battle between the Qing army and the Kuizhou army was still continuing.

In Hanzhong City, Ma Lashi can no longer sit still, the news from the three directions of Hanzhong, southwest and east is not optimistic, and Haoge in the west has been stationed at the Sword Pavilion for a long time, and he has not seen an inch of progress; Tan Bai and He Zhen confronted each other in Ankang in the south, although the Qing army had the upper hand, but it could not completely wipe out He Zhen in a short period of time, the two sides were in a tragic tug-of-war, and thousands of people died; And in the direction of Xi'an, which was originally peaceful in the east, since the Ming army that came out of Li Guohan from Yinping Road, it was haunted in the Qinling Mountains, cut off the Chencang Road leading from Hanzhong to Xi'an, killed several generals who held grain, and robbed and burned several batches of grain and grass, and there was no rice from Xi'an that could be transported, and Hanzhong was barren, all the grain and grass were scourged by He Zhen, and the people could not squeeze a little food, a large number of people fled to Gansu and Guanzhong, Hanzhong was already uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the villages were dilapidated, so that he sat in the city of Hanzhong, Empty stomach.

Ma Lashi also led troops to look for the Ming army, but the vast rivers and mountains, the vast Qinling Mountains, where to find?

I want to divide the troops, but I am worried that there will be fewer people and I will not be able to resist it, after all, there is a precedent first, and those Qing army teams that carry grain, which is not about 2,000 people, have been killed to the point that there is not even a slag left.

Therefore, Ma Lashi was anxious, and went out of the city with soldiers to look for it every day, and came back dejected, but did not find any clues about the Ming army.

Seeing that time was passing and June was about to pass, Hauge's temper was well known to Malahi, and if this continued, it would be a matter of time before his head moved, and he was so irritated that he was about to kill himself.

At this moment, Sulle, who had been ordered to build the road, came.

Su Le came with his own hundred Baya soldiers to escort him, in addition, he had no one, Haoge did a great job, and he didn't even send him a miscellaneous servant, in the name of it, when he arrived in Hanzhong, he could naturally be requisitioned from the local Han people.

Souler didn't care, because in his heart, this trip was not at all for the purpose of repairing the road of Narauszi.

Wang Huan! This name made him extremely eager, when he was on Wuchang Road, from the mouths of the few white pole soldiers who were finally captured, after severe torture and both soft and hard, when he finally asked for the name, Su Le was greatly surprised, it turned out that the mastermind who laid a lot of fog, played him around, and abducted the priceless gold and silver property, it turned out that it was not Li Tingyu, but a little monk named Wang Huan!

Fortunately, these white pole soldiers didn't know much, and Su Le didn't ask where the property was, but Su Le had a good memory, and quickly recalled that there were indeed a few young monks of unknown origin in Li Tingyu's baggage camp at that time, and they had also met with him, and he could vaguely remember that thin novice with cunning in his face.

Su Le hated his teeth itching, this person hurt his future almost ruined, if it wasn't for Duoduo to take care of, I'm afraid that this life will never be able to turn over, since then the word "Wang Huan" in Su Le's dreams, more than a woman to make him more concerned, as long as there is a chance to inquire about the whereabouts of this person, now I know that the original little monk turned out to be the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, this is repaid!

So Su Le quickly whipped his horse and rushed into Hanzhong City with grinding his teeth.

When Malahi heard that Surle was coming, he didn't care much, and although he had the aura of a regent on this junior, he was not afraid.

So Malashi sat down in the lobby and waited for Sur to come in, and after a few questions, she tried to send him away.

Sule is not angry, Malahi has great merit and high qualifications, since Huang Taiji took the throne, he has fought countless bloody battles in his life, and he is a veteran worthy of respect, he admires it very much.

However, when Malahi was a little distracted and impatiently picked up the teacup to send him off, Soule spoke.

"The last general is really worried, as if he is haunted by something, and he doesn't know what to do? Su Le is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries for adults. Sule said respectfully, his tone full of respect.

Malahi was a little distracted, holding the teacup in a daze, and Sule paused for a moment after speaking, before he reacted, "Ah" and said, "Nothing, nothing." ”

He is unwilling to show his incompetence in front of his juniors.

Su Le knew what he was thinking, and he didn't talk to him, so he directly pointed out: "Could it be that Lord Ezhen is worried about the Ming army wandering in Hanzhong?" ”

Malashi frowned, a little displeased, flattened his mouth and did not speak, seeing him like this, Sule smiled and said, "There will be a plan in the end, which can relieve the worries of the adults!" ”
