Chapter 552: Killing Xu Dingguo 2
Knowing that Zhu Qing had set up an ambush on Eagle Mountain and waiting for Xu Dingguo to penetrate it, Zheng Chenggong led the Zheng family army to pursue the disrupted Xu Dingguo rebels. When the backyard of the camp caught fire and the treasure chest was robbed, Xu Dingguo wanted to avoid Zheng Chenggong's pursuit on the one hand, and wanted to recapture the treasure chest on the other hand, but he couldn't take a breath, so he ran back as soon as the soldiers and horses turned around.
After running for nearly five hundred miles overnight, he finally escaped to Eagle Mountain in the second half of the night.
At this time, Eagle Mountain is extremely silent. Occasionally, a few night birds can be heard mournfully, which is chilling.
Xu Dingguo didn't know that Zhu Qing had planted heavy troops in the valley. However, when he was approaching the valley mouth, he still quickly reined in the reins of the horse!
"Phew! Slow! Xu Dingguo gave an order to his entourage and looked towards the dark valley.
"General! The robbers are ahead! One of Xu Dingguo's lieutenants pointed angrily ahead and shouted, saying that he was going to lead his troops to chase after him.
A hundred meters ahead, more than a dozen figures shouted and rushed a few large boxes into the valley. Needless to say, they are the Jinyi guards who robbed Xu Dingguo's treasure chest.
"Wait!" Xu Dingguo shouted, "The terrain of Eagle Mountain is complex and extraordinary, in order to prevent fraud, you should take a small team to investigate, and then make a decision!" ”
"Order!" The lieutenant clenched his fists and led a hundred rebels into pursuit of the valley.
The Jinyi guards, who had already entered the valley, saw that there were indeed pursuers behind them, so they looked at each other and smiled, and whispered, "Lead them to the bottom of the valley and then get out." The drama must be done enough, and it must not be exposed! ”
"Yes!"
Dozens of brocade guards discussed, and then began to disperse, divided into several teams, each pulling the box and continuing to run forward.
Although there is only one road leading to Eagle Mountain, there are many forks in the valley, and there is a lot of time to hide in it. And because there is a clamp on the main road, several carriages cannot pass at the same time, so it is more experienced to run separately. Blocked in the clamp, it is obviously too clumsy, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the rebels to snatch the treasure chest from Xu Dingguo's hands but plant it on such a low-level mistake.
But after going separately, the treasure chest was disposed of very smoothly, and it looked like it was done by someone on the road. Sure enough, when the rebel adjutant saw it, he was even more angry, and he waved his knife and shouted angrily, "You chase the left, you chase the right, and the others follow me to kill the main way." ”
"Huhuhu......" Jinyiwei did not forget to let out a proud cheer when he went to the valley separately, and even more, he deliberately beat up the weapons, etc., so that the whole valley was noisy in the silent night, and ordinary people were deeply immersed in it, and it was inevitable that there would be some chaos.
However, the rebels were clearly familiar with the terrain in this area, and they tried their best to resist the interference of the Jinyi guards, and each pursued it in the spirit of his own opponent. But it also made Jinyiwei run enough.
"Run! They're after it! After a chase, the brocade guard shouted.
When the rebels heard this, they were very proud and quickened the pace of pursuit.
Suddenly, a scream was heard in front of them, and a carriage crashed together, and the man rolled on his back and rolled into the valley.
"Hahaha! Horses have stumbled! Brothers, the thieves have tumbled into the valley, give it to me! When the lieutenant heard this, he was even more proud.
In his opinion, although these robbers have unique methods, but under the pursuit of the rebels, they panicked, and in the valley with only one exit, they met unexpectedly and collided together, which is not surprising!
But the rebels never expected that this was exactly the bitter ploy of Jinyiwei.
When they chased down the valley, the brocade guard pretended to be in a hurry and fled.
"Run! They chased it down! One shouted. Some of the others helped each other to get up, while others tried to carry the overturned boxes away.
"Run, it's important to save your life!"
"Don't stop me! This is what Lao Tzu desperately snatched back! "Someone is still snatching the baby.
"Kill!" The rebels rushed to the side, and the two sides fought without declaring it.
Because the Jinyi Guard also disguised himself as a rebel and infiltrated their baggage camp to grab the treasure chest, so even if it was handed over, the rebels were not sure if the other party was Jinyiwei!
But seeing that the number of robbers was smaller than his own, and some people were injured, the rebels didn't care about the three seven twenty-one, they just thought about cutting down the other party and snatching back the treasure chest.
"Ahh In order to paralyze the rebels, several brocade guards did not contribute all their efforts, and let the other party slash a few times. Seeing that the situation was almost over, the others rushed over to relieve the siege.
"Let's go! Take them away! It's important to save your life, a few of us! One of the brocade guards shouted and dragged the injured brocade guards back.
The rebels were in full swing, and the Jinyi guards didn't dare to be careless, seeing that the rebels had already fallen into the plan, they retreated while killing!
Because the retreat is uphill again, the Jinyi guard is condescending, and the rebels can't get a profit, seeing that the treasure chest has arrived. The lieutenant snorted unsatisfactorily, "Stop chasing! Pack up the baby and report to the General! ”
Snatching back Xu Dingguo's treasure chest from the robbers made the deputy general excited, and he knew that in front of Xu Dingguo, this was another great achievement. After instructing his subordinates to pack several boxes of overturned treasures in the valley, he couldn't wait to go out of the valley to report to Xu Dingguo.
"General Qiyu, the treasure chest has been recaptured, and the robbers have been severely injured by our army and fled."
"Good! You have made great contributions to the army, and this general will definitely be rewarded! When Xu Dingguo heard that the treasure chest had been taken back, he was really overjoyed.
"General Xie!"
"By the way, who is that, can you ask?" Xu Dingguo smiled and then asked.
"It's too dark in the valley, and the other party is pretending to be our army, so it's hard to identify, but judging from their skills, they don't look like the brocade guards who invaded us before. There were even a few who were almost hacked to death on the spot, and we didn't chase them in order to protect the treasure chest. "The adjutant general made a lot of excuses for himself in order to evade responsibility.
Although Xu Dingguo was not very satisfied after hearing this, he finally found the treasure chest and did not blame his subordinates. Just sighed lightly and nodded, "I hope it's not Jinyiwei." Saying that, Xu Dingguo asked again, "Where is the treasure chest now?" ”
"Their carriage has tumbled down the valley, and the treasure chest is at the bottom, and I have commanded my men to pack up the treasure. Wait for the general to go in and count. The adjutant general asked Xu Dingguo for instructions.
"Well, good!" Xu Dingguo nodded, and just wanted to lead the horse forward, when suddenly someone came behind him to report.
"Report ...... Report to the general, Zheng Chenggong has caught up! ”
"His grandmother's, Zheng Chenggong is really ghostly! General, I'll take people up to meet you! It seems that the pursuit of the valley has made the lieutenant's self-confidence skyrocket, and when he heard that Zheng Jiajun was chasing, he raised his sword and moved forward, eager to try.
But Xu Dingguo stopped him, "Wait! Xu Dingguo glanced at his troops, although they escaped, but the state was obviously not very optimistic, the sequelae of the pain and smoke were still very serious, such troops to meet the menacing Zheng Jiajun was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
"Eagle Mountain is steep, the valley is a good ambush point, how did the Zheng family army first arrive, I guess I won't understand this, our army is now trapped in the front of the matter, it is not suitable to attack. Let the large army enter the valley first, there is a clear spring at the bottom of the valley, one can be decontaminated and eye-catching, and the other is to lead Zheng Chenggong to the valley, surround and annihilate it! Xu Dingguo had obviously noticed the strategic location of Eagle Mountain for a long time, and using the unique advantages of the valley to annihilate the enemy coincided with Zhu Qing's thoughts. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhu Qing took this move first!
"The general is clever! In this way, our army will definitely be able to annihilate the Zheng family army at a small cost and clear the way to the north! Xu Dingguo's lieutenants flattered one after another.
Xu Dingguo grinned, and then ordered, "Without further ado, let the archers stay behind the mountain pass hall, and the army can enter the valley!" ”
"Order!"
The rebels left more than 100 archers to guard the mountain pass, and then led a large army into the valley.
Eagle Mountain seemed to open its beak and peck at the team that broke in in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, seeing the rebel army entering the valley, the Qinglongmen Jinyi Guard, who was ambushed on the mountain, was eager to try. But without Zhu Qing's order, no one dared to act rashly.
And Zhu Qing took clairvoyance and carefully observed the rebels' every move. At the bottom of the valley at this time, Xu Dingguo's several treasure chests had been reloaded by his subordinates, waiting for him to go down to check.
Xu Dingguo stood on the slope and swept around, hesitated for a moment before walking down the valley.
"Quick! Follow behind, go to the bottom of the valley to find water to wash your eyes, and get ready for battle! The adjutant general immediately waved to the troops behind, and the large troops followed Xu Dingguo down the valley.
At this moment, the sound of killing came from outside the valley. Zheng Chenggong led the Zheng family army to kill it.
This time, Xu Dingguo's archers failed to suppress the onslaught of the Zheng family's army. The mountain pass is too small, the archers' attack range is not wide, Zheng Jiajun killed from all directions, the rebel archers took care of one or the other, so they had to hide in the mountain pass, Zheng Chenggong was not ambiguous, and snatched a Tiangang five thunder from the hands of his subordinates, and hit the mountain pass!
The rebels in the mountain pass were immediately blown away, and the survivors also retreated one after another, and the Zheng family army soon tore through the rebels' defensive line.
"Quick! Go uphill and bring the enemy to the bottom! Hearing the big movement coming from the mountain pass, Xu Dingguo didn't dare to be ambiguous, and organized the troops to retreat to the hillside with the treasure chest.
However, before the rebels could climb the slope, they saw Zhu Qing wave his big hand, and the group leader blew a whistle, and both sides of the valley were suddenly blasted, earth-shattering, birds and beasts fled wildly, and boulders rolled down from the mountain and smashed down the rebels in the valley. In a few moments, the exit of the rebels' retreat was blocked by falling stones.
"Quick! Withdraw in the direction of the mountain pass! "Xu Dingguo saw that there was no way out, so he had to order the troops to return the same way! But before they could emerge, the Zheng Jiajun who burst in greeted them from the hillside! Xu Dingguo was attacked at both ends, and he was at a disadvantage, and he was suddenly beaten extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't find the north.
At this time, the blasting of the Jinyi Guards had also ended, and hundreds of Qinglongmen Jinyi Guards rushed down from the mountain, took the firearms in their hands and greeted the valley for a while, and the arrow rain also shot down one after another.
Tens of thousands of rebels crowded into the funnel-shaped valley and were beaten extremely badly.
"Quick! Shieldmen, cover! Xu Dingguo shouted, and the few remaining shield soldiers of the rebels struggled to cover the soldiers and take refuge beside the boulders in the valley. The rebels gasped for relief.
However, just when Xu Dingguo shouted and gritted his teeth for his decision. Suddenly there was a shrill cry from the valley, and a bag of stuff rolled down the valley!
"Miss Chen!" A brocade guard screamed.
Chen Yuanyuan over there has already chased down the valley with that bag of things!
When Zhu Qing saw it, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly rushed down, everyone looked at them from the side, and they were worried......
