Chapter 119: Besieging Tongshan
When Zhu Qing led the five hundred brocade guards to Tongguan, Sun Chuanting had already been out of the customs for two days, and it was said that Zhu Qing should arrive at noon the next day, but there was a small episode on the way. A group of hundreds of refugees begged along the road, fled, and blocked Zhu Qing's way, according to Jinyiwei's usual style before, this is not a problem at all! Because only Jinyiwei has ever stood in the way of others, and no one dares to stand in the way of Jinyiwei! However, now this group of refugees seems to have no fear, anyway, they are dead, and they can't be starving ghosts when they die!
Zhu Qing seems to have spied on the factors in the rout of the Ming Dynasty in this group of refugees, Zhu Qing doesn't want the situation to expand, he is here to fight, not to fight! Zhu Qing had no choice but to rest on the spot, distribute half of the food to the refugees, and ask the military doctor to treat them. The gang was delayed for a day.
However, if you ignore this group of refugees, there will definitely be a riot, even if Zhu Qing has a knife and gun in his hand, he may not be able to retreat with his whole body, besides, Zhu Qing wants to protect precisely such ordinary people, how can he shoot? Moreover, this gun is to be taken to the front line to support Sun Chuanting, and not a single shot or bullet must be wasted here!
Therefore, when Zhu Qing led the team to Tongguan, there were only Kill Feng, Vice General Han, Wu Youke and a few guards in Tongguan, and there were only a few people. Compared with Tongguan, which garrisoned 100,000 troops in the past, Tongguan at this time looked extremely sad.
"Master!" Seeing Kill Feng lying motionless on the bed, Zhu Qing felt a sour nose and tears almost fell. The young man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, was once the first warrior in the capital who was feared, but now he was paralyzed in bed, seeing that the country was ruined and the family revenge could not be avenged, Zhu Qing seemed to understand how sad it was in the heart of the killing wind.
But the moment Kill Feng saw Zhu Qing, the gloom of the past few days instantly dissipated, and his face showed indescribable calm and steadfastness.
"Mr. Wu, my master ...... him" Zhu Qing asked Wu Youke beside him.
"Although the disease of Lord Killing Wind is tricky, it is not hopeless, but it is a pity that he can indulge in typhoid fever and epidemic, and he has no achievements in paralyzing diseases, but he can know a person in the capital in his early years, he is a master of medicine for many years, and he should have a way to kill Lord Wind's disease." Wu Youke said.
"Who?"
"The ghost doctor in the capital, cold thorn."
"Brother Leng?" Lin Bai said excitedly.
"What? Do you know him? Wu Youke asked in surprise.
"Don't hide it, Mr. Leng, Brother Leng is now in my Shanhaiguan!" Zhu Qing was extremely pleased.
"Great. You hurry up and send Lord Killing Wind to Shanhaiguan, and Mr. Cold Thorn will definitely have a way. ”
"What? Aren't you going? Zhu Qing asked.
"You can follow the general again, and now Vice General Han is injured, and General Sun is alone. In my early years, I collected medicine in Tongshan, and the place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if I didn't get it right, I would be bitten back. I'm going to the general. Wu Youke said firmly.
"Where is Vice Admiral Han now?" Zhu Qing asked.
"In the general's tent."
"Adjutant Lin, you find four brothers to send the master back to Shanhaiguan." Zhu Qing said to Lin Bai.
"Yes, General."
"Wait, don't forget, bring a medic!"
"Understood!"
Zhu Qing turned around and grabbed Killing Feng's hand, Killing Wind kept shaking his head desperately, but Zhu Qing gritted his teeth and grabbed Killing Feng's hand, "Master, I know what you want to say, without you, there would be no me Zhu Qing today, when Brother Leng cures your illness, let's still guard the country together!" ”
After listening to Zhu Qing's words, Killing Feng finally calmed down, tears oozed from the corners of his eyes again, and his fingers lightly gestured - "An".
"Zhu Qing understands that even if Zhu Qing fights hard, he will ensure General Sun's safety."
In a moment, Lin Bai found a few cronies and immediately took Killing Wind to Shanhaiguan.
Watching Killing Wind leave, Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go, go see Vice General Han." ”
Wu Youke led Zhu Qing to visit Vice General Han. Vice General Han was lying on the bed at this time, dying. Liu Zongmin's stroke hit the lumbar spine of the Korean vice-general, and a section of the spine was seriously dislocated and cracked!
"Mr. Wu, how can this be?" Zhu Qing questioned Wu Youke.
"General, the enemy is too ruthless, I ......" Wu Youke had nothing to say.
"General Zhu, don't ...... Don't embarrass sir. It's because Han Mou's creation is not good, and no one has died in life since ancient times, but it's a pity that he can't follow the general to crusade against the traitor. Vice General Han forced a smile and said to Zhu Qing slightly.
"Vice General Han Ji Ren Tianxiang, he will definitely be fine." Zhu Qing comforted.
"Heh, I know my own body, before leaving, Han just wanted to ask the general for something."
"You say."
"No matter what, I have to bring General Sun home!"
Looking at Vice General Han's painful and resolute expression, Zhu Qing was speechless, but nodded vigorously.
"The general has been out of the customs for three days, encircled and suppressed Tongshan, there is no news yet, and Han is dead. Tongshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Li Zicheng finds reinforcements, I am afraid that a counter-encirclement of the general will be formed...... "Vice General Han has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and has been marching west for more than ten years, so he knows Tongshan well. "Therefore, the general is only afraid of ...... when he goes this time" Vice General Han did not finish speaking, and died.
"Vice Admiral Han!"
"General!"
Everyone in the tent shouted. But there was no response, except for the cold wind.
Vice General Han's words made Zhu Qing careless, and he found a coffin to bury Vice General Han. Then he led all the horses in Tongguan to go out of the customs overnight and rushed to Tongshan.
Tongshan, the natural barrier of Tongguan, is surrounded by mountains on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Tongshan is located in the west of Tongguan, and the rivers run from west to east, so Tongshan does not have to worry about the water source problem at all, as long as Li Zicheng firmly guards the only entrance to the mountain, and with a little rest, he can survive the crisis.
At this time, Sun Chuanting had surrounded the mountain for three days, and in the past three days, he had thought of countless ways to attack the mountain, but they were all vetoed by himself one by one. Water sources and roads are not good policies, the only thing to defend is food, at this time it is the middle of winter, there is very little food in the field of Tongshan, relying on Li Zicheng's food and grass with the army, providing nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, within five days, there will be a situation inside Tongshan, which is also Sun Chuanting's weight to defend Tongshan.
"Huzi, how many days is it?" Li Zicheng asked Huzi, who was young and healed quickly.
"It's the third day." Huzi replied.
"How are the military advisors and General Liu injured?"
"It's going to take time."
"Hey, we underestimated Sun Chuanting." Li Zicheng sighed.
"King Chuang, we have an army of 100,000, and we are afraid that he will have 30,000 scattered soldiers in Sun Chuanting?" Huzi is young and vigorous.
"Don't be reckless, you see, these 30,000 soldiers and horses seem to be scattered?" Li Zicheng pointed to Sun Chuanting's 30,000 soldiers and horses, and all sighed that Sun Chuanting led the troops in a good way, "It's us, known as the division of 100,000, but you can see for yourself, all of them are sloppy with their heads, how to fight?" ”
"It's all because there is not much grain and grass on the mountain, and the morale of the brothers is not as good as day by day, if we don't fight, we don't need Sun Chuanting to fight, we will boast about ourselves." Huzi Road.
Li Zicheng paced back and forth, Huzi's words were not unreasonable, and it was not a way to go on like this.
"Have the pigeons been released?" Li Zicheng asked.
"None of them can fly. Put one, Sun Chuanting shoots one, and then put it to add vegetables to others. Huzi complained.
"Wait!" Li Zicheng sighed and returned to the mountain. Sometimes heroes become famous not necessarily vigorously, and sometimes they can calm down at critical times, and this is exactly the case with Li Zicheng. He didn't believe that God had let him get to this point and come to an end. He was waiting for a providence.
It really made him wait for this providence. On the Twin Cities Walled City, the old man of Shuangcheng saw that there was no news from the army for many days, so he took out the map to check.
"Grandpa, where are my fathers now?" Li Yufeng asked anxiously. Because this time it was a decisive battle in Tongguan, Li Zicheng did not let his daughter Li Yufeng follow, but let her stay in the Shuangcheng Walled City to take care of the elderly Shuangcheng old man.
"Here!" The old man of the twin cities said firmly.
"Tongshan?" Li Yufeng was puzzled.
"That's right, in the early years, I took your father and them around that area, Tongshan is a blessed place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But ......"
"But what?"
"Although Tongshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the enemy only defends and does not attack, then Tongshan will become a shackle and can trap people to death." The old man of the twin cities seems to have his mind back to his youth.
"What then? My father has not heard from him for so many days, he must have been besieged by Sun Chuanting. Li Yufeng said anxiously.
The old man of Shuangcheng turned the Buddha bead in his hand, nodded, pondered for a moment, and turned to Li Yufeng and said, "In this way, I will repair a book, and you go down the mountain to find Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, and ask him to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to rescue your father." ”
As soon as the old man of Shuangcheng said it, he immediately repaired a book and asked Li Yufeng to go down the mountain.
Zhang Xianzhong was attacking King Fu at this time, but to no avail. After receiving the letter from the old man of Shuangcheng, he was overjoyed after reading it, this is a sure deal, as long as he wins Sun Chuanting, takes Tongguan, and Kaifeng is captured, he is still worried about a little Fu Wang?
Then he gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow Li Yufeng south, rushed to Tongguan, and rescued Li Zicheng.
Zhang Xianzhong wants to save Li Zicheng, Zhu Qing wants to save Sun Chuanting, the two sides are fighting for speed, whoever arrives first will have the initiative in the war, but the two of them don't know about such a contest in the dark.
In the early morning of the fourth day, a team of people appeared behind Sun Chuanting. When Sun Chuanting was inspecting who the soldiers and horses were, the other party shouted, "King Chuang!" Brother, I'm here to help you! ”
"Daddy!"
This is Zhang Xianzhong's team! After three days of besieging the mountain, Sun Chuanting was still made dumplings after all.
