Chapter 26: The Fall of Taihang (1)
Although Zhang He had doubts, since Gao Changdu had already said so, it was inconvenient for him to continue, so he returned to his original position. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Jia on the side still smiled, "What General Zhang said is not unreasonable, but the majestic sea should be a real surrender, you see that he came with his family and mouth, and they have all been handed over to Lord Di Renjie to settle in Changshan, if he surrenders by fraud, then even if he defeats our army, his hundreds of thousands of people will be killed by the county soldiers in the Changshan area, then his price is too great, how can he continue to settle in Taihang without these people?" Therefore, the descent of the majestic sea should be the true descent! ”
Qin Qiong nodded, "What the military advisor said is very true, Qiong heard of the name of the purple-faced Heavenly King Xiong Kuohai when he walked the rivers and lakes back then, this person is definitely not that kind of treacherous person, Qiong dares to guarantee that he is really descending!" ”
Gao Chang stopped, "Don't worry about the matter of the vast sea, now that he has gathered people to surrender, the strength of the bandit army in the area of Taihang Mountain has almost been reduced by half, and the remaining ones may not sit still, presumably there will be a big move next, order scouts, step up detection, and be sure to send back the military information as soon as possible!" ”
。。。。。。
Three days later, Gao Chang camped. Scout Returns:
"Lord Qiqi, the little ones have found out that an alliance has been formed in various cottages in Taihang Mountain, with Chu Feiyan as the leader of the alliance and Zhu Youqi as the deputy, gathering nearly 80,000 people, and now they have marched to the area of Yanjishi, wanting to fight to the death with our army."
"Dying throes!" Gao Chang smiled disdainfully.
Guo Jia said indifferently: "These people are stubborn, of course they have to work hard for their own interests, but 80,000 people are twisted together, and it will probably take some energy for us to annihilate them in one fell swoop!" “
Xiong Kuohai snorted coldly, "These people only know how to think about themselves, and never know how to think about their brothers, and push their brothers to death for their own happiness, it is really shameless, my lord, Kuohai asks for his life to be the vanguard, and he must screw off the heads of these guys who only want to be happy for themselves and dedicate them to the lord." “
Gao Chang smiled indifferently: "General Xiong is really bold, okay, I will definitely let you be the pioneer in this battle!" “
Xiong Kuohai was overjoyed, and was about to ask for his life, but Gao Chang coughed lightly, "But General Xiong's vanguard still needs to be Ning Nai for a while, now the enemy army is in full swing, it is really unwise to start a war at this time, I should avoid its edge, and when its division is tired, I will completely defeat it with a thunderous blow." , which can also reduce the losses of our army. “
Zhu Sheng approvingly: "The lord is high-minded, but I still want to remind the lord, don't forget that there is another one in the south who wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman." “
Gao Chang nodded and said: "Yun Sheng's words are reasonable, quickly send an order to Yang Yanzhao, so that he can step up his defense, as I expected, Song Jiang may also make some moves to deal with Chu Feiyan, Zhu Youqi and others, so that they must deal with it carefully." ”
。。。。。。
Yanji stone this area is stacked with mountains, hills and valleys, canyons are intertwined, ravines are vertical and horizontal, only a small piece of flat land between the mountains and the impact plain along the river, and on this plain is walking a mighty team, the team is playing a big flag, on the book four words, "protect me too much". This is the army of Chu Feiyan, Zhu Youqi and others who are still bandits in the Taihang Mountain area, with about 80,000 people. Although there were a large number of people, the banners were messy and the clothes and armor were not neat, but under the stimulation of Chu Feiyan's temptation with golden beauties, the morale of the entire army was unprecedentedly high.
Chu Feiyan is quite tall, with a fierce face, a lion nose and a wide mouth, the head of the chaotic group has his hair spread to his shoulders, and he has an arrogant spirit that looks down on the world, and he sits on a black war horse, holding a steel spear in his hand and walking in the forefront.
"Report."
A scout flying horse came in front, stopped in front of Chu Feiyan, turned over and dismounted and knelt down to report: "The big leader of Qiqi, Gao Chang's general Zhang He and Qin Qiong led about 10,000 troops and has set up camp in Fuyi Ridge, thirty miles away. ”
Chu Feiyan sneered and shouted to the soldiers behind: "Brothers, give me a bounty of 1,000 taels for clearing the military camp of Gao Chang Xiao'er in front, and be the first to kill it!" ”
"Kill!"
Stimulated by the gold, the Taixing army roared towards Fuyi Ridge like chicken blood.
In the course of Fuyi Ridge, there are many miscellaneous roads, and there are intestinal roads everywhere, and the terrain is uneven, and it is very steep. Qin Qiong and Zhang He led 8,000 troops and horses to garrison in a narrow valley, with steep cliffs on both sides, and only a narrow long road for marching. And Qin Qiong Zhang He camped at the mouth of the valley at the end of this road, and after camping, he continued to strengthen his defenses, and the whole camp was surrounded by antlers to resist horses, and many arrow towers and crossbow platforms were built on high places.
Just when the fortifications of Fuyiling were almost built, a scout came to report in a panic: "General Qiqi, the Taixing army has been killed!" “
Qin Qiong perked up when he heard this, stroked his sword and asked loudly: "How many people are there, and who is the leader?" ”
The scout replied: "If you return to the general, there should be 80,000 people all over the mountains, and Zhu Youqi, Chu Feiyan and others are all in the army." ”
Zhang He on the side drew his sword in his hand and loudly boosted morale: "Soldiers, this will be our last battle with the Taihang thieves, let us end these thieves who harm the township, and swear to defend the camp to the death. “
Under the encouragement of Zhang He, the morale of the 8,000 defenders was high, and one by one showed an expression of looking at death as if they were at home, and they all raised the weapons in their hands and responded loudly: "Swear to defend the camp to the death, the camp is in the people, and the camp is lost!" ”
Qin Qiong shouted: "Soldiers, you are all the best soldiers in the world, follow me forward and meet the thieves!" “
Eight thousand defenders have drawn bows and arrows, or hid on both sides of the road, or climbed the arrow tower, one by one, as if facing the enemy, waiting for the bandits.
In less than half an hour, the people in the north shouted and neighed, the dust rose, and the black pressure of the Taixing army pressed up. But when they were about to approach the Han army camp, they found that this sheep intestine path was full of thorns, antlers, horse rejection guns and other defensive objects, and there were many traps.
"Don't panic, there are few of them, rush up for me."
A small leader who should be the Tai Marching Army drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly for command in a hoarse voice.
Zhang He had already seen this person in the Han military camp, took a bow and crossbow in his hand, wound the arrow, and shouted: "Go!" “
The little leader saw a black shadow attacking him, and before he could react, he was shot through, and he fell to the ground without making a sound.
At this moment, Qin Qiong also shouted loudly.
"Shoot the arrows."
"Whoosh ......"
Thousands of Han soldiers who had been prepared for a long time had a bow and crossbow in their hands, and with Qin Qiong's order, the arrows were fired in unison, and the dense crossbow arrows were sprinkled on the top of the charging Taixing army like flying locusts.
The Taixing army had to move away the antlers and horses on the ground, defend against the crossbow arrows on their heads, and avoid the ubiquitous traps.
After a fierce attack, the Taixing army not only failed to capture the Han army's camp, but lost more than 3,000 people under the Han army's rainstorm-like crossbow arrows.
"The defense of the Han army is really powerful!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Feiyan shook his head and sighed, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The sound of "bells and bells" sounded, and the charging Taixing army retreated like a tide like a tide, leaving only corpses everywhere.
