Chapter 50: Ambush and Reinforcements

"Uncle! That's it! "The torches are rapidly approaching.

"You guys?" Chief of Staff Xu suddenly became vigilant, because, in any case, the accent of the opposite side was quite strange, and the accent of the Hu Zhonghe Department of the Hunan Army and the native soldiers of the Yi nationality was very different.

"Uncle Day!" The respectful Qing officers and soldiers suddenly changed their faces, rewarded and punished Xu Liangru and others twisted their arms and fell to the ground, and then, more follow-up men and horses rushed into the military camp of Wang Yingyuan, the Tusi of the Yi nationality of the Qing army.

Luo Yang was in the army, he saw Xu Liangru's face with a torch, and his momentum stopped, so he stopped for interrogation, Xu Liangru straightened his neck and ignored it, and Luo Yang ordered the soldiers to take care of it.

"Whose people are you? Is it the person of Admiral Hu of the Hunan Army? Xu Liangru shouted angrily.

"What do you say?" Luo Yang sneered.

"If you are, untie Lao Tzu immediately,"

"What if not?"

"Hmph, even if it's not Hu Junmen's direct subordinate, it should be the long-haired rebel who was sheltered by his old man, right?" Xu Liangru sneered: "Don't beat our Wang Tusi's idea, Hu Junmen will never forgive you for doing such nonsense!" ”

"Hey, hey, we're really afraid, but we'll grab something and leave, and we won't do anything with him!" Luo Yang scoffed.

"Brother, are you crazy?"

"Hehe, Hu Junmen is not here! Far from it! ”

"Hmph, it's only ten miles away, and it's only a short time to ride a horse!"

After a few words of gossip, Luo Yang easily set out the main force of the Qing army guarding the Songlin River, and couldn't help but be proud, and patted Xu Liangru's face twice: "Thank you, old man!" We just seek money, and we don't hurt anyone. The Taiping soldiers came out with a few Yi leaders, pressed down in front of Luo Yang, and under the questioning, these guys were drunk and scolded, and immediately, they were rewarded by several fighters, and they calmed down a lot: "You, who are you?" Dare to hit the pine forest toast? Don't want to die? ”

Luo Yang lifted the big hat of the Qing army and threw it far away, shaking the hair that was bound behind him, revealing his true image.

"You? Hairy? Wang Yingyuan looked psychedelic, as if in a dream.

Under the big cap of the Qing army in Luoyang, there is the red scarf wrapped by the Taiping army, and the logo is very clear. "Oh, you're the king of pine forest toast, right? Haha, look up for a long time! ”

"You?" Wang Yingyuan's wine woke up for most of the time, and he suddenly gritted his teeth: "Don't pretend to be a hairy thief to intimidate me, tell you, if you are really poor and crazy, you can tell the local division, and the local division will give you Hu Junmen support!" You should return it to me immediately, otherwise, if the local division is angry, you will all be unlucky, the light one will lose his head, and the heavy one will be punished as treason, and the whole family will be beheaded! ”

Luo Yang didn't have much hatred for Wang Yingyuan, Xu Liangru and others, and seeing that they were still pitiful now, he was no longer humiliated, and commanded the troops to search quickly, drove out all the Yi people in this village, and detained them in a centralized manner, and then arrested Tusi and his own soldiers, and collected all the fine and soft gold and silver and other things, even the women around Lord Tusi, and also collected them.

Although Luo Yang did not have much prejudice, however, the Taiping soldiers were full of anger, many people saw with their own eyes how the Taiping brothers who rushed to cross the Songlin River were killed and mutilated by the native soldiers, and they were extremely hateful, scrambling to beat the prisoners, and after a while, Wang Yingyuan and several of his leaders were beaten into pigs' heads. If Luo Yang hadn't intercepted it in time, I'm afraid it would have exploded directly.

What's next? This is a question, in fact, the best goal of Shi Dakai and others when making decisions is to grab the Songlin River, defeat the defending native soldiers, control the western section, and wait for the dawn to cross the river with the whole army, detour to the northwest region, and turn into the Chengdu Trail. and the forward Lai Yuxin troops converged.

Luo Yang did not stagnate, but thought about it again.

In fact, there is nothing to say, he is very familiar with the stories and examples of the People's Liberation War, tactics and strategies in his mind, especially a set of military ideas of the great man, which is absolutely familiar and admired, and now, with a little brain, he can figure it out.

"Hey, set me on fire! Burn! ”

Luo Yang briefly told his subordinate officers about his plan, and then everyone acted separately, some of them went to manage the captured Yi people, and for the time being, more than 200 people were tied up, gagged, and driven out of the village, implicated with ropes, not only to protect their lives, but also to pay attention to secrecy. The other part of the people began to collect the source of fire and loot the property in the village, and they had to burn it anyway, so let's get more of it.

After a while, in the village where the king of Songlin Tusi Wang Yingyuan was stationed, the fire was blazing, and some of Tusi's cronies were tied up not far away, with firewood and grass to pull, and after a certain time, it would burn to their feet. Naturally, there were also Taiping soldiers beating them, causing a series of screams.

Of course, some of the Taiping soldiers were also pretending to scream, which sounded terrible from afar.

The main force of Luoyang's troops, more than 250 people, had prepared all the home-made grenades, knives and guns, and ambushed them in the places where the Qing army reinforcements on the East Road must pass, specifically in three places.

The Qing army's east road, the nearest is along the road on the bank of the Songlin River to the west to reinforce Wang Yingyuan, so on the road, Luoyang divided his troops to set up three blockade lines.

The captured native soldiers' guns, foreign guns, spears and other objects were placed on the ambush road and aimed at the front.

The reason for setting up the three blockade lines is that it is estimated that the Qing army has a large number of troops and strong combat effectiveness, and it is necessary to gradually weaken it, not only to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but also to reduce its own losses, and the best way is to attack continuously.

Although the officers felt extremely wonderful, Luo Yang knew that it was just a ten-sided ambush plan by Cao Cao, who he had learned from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when he attacked Yuan Shao.

The fire in the village burned, and in the night, the scarlet fire swirled and the thick smoke swirled and rose, rendering a very terrible scene, and after a moment of planting, I heard the shouting of men and horses in front of the ambush site, and I could see that a long dragon with torches slid towards this place quickly, as fast as a snake.

"Help, help! Hu Junmen, help! When the Qing reinforcements had traveled some distance, there were suddenly a few guys crying miserably, holding a torch, and in the light of the fire, it could be seen that they were wearing the clothes of native soldiers.

More than 200 troops from the first batch of reinforcements of the Qing army and the remnants of the native soldiers converged, so the remnants of the native soldiers led them westward. Qing reinforcements did not have any suspicions. However, as he ran, the native soldiers in front suddenly stopped, and as soon as the torches were thrown, the Qing army sentry officer in front felt a cool breeze in his chest.

The Taiping army attacked suddenly, first stabbed with long knives and iron spears, in the dark night, the torches only illuminated the narrow places, and because of the guidance, they were anxious, and they were defenseless at all, as a result, only one round of attacks, the Qing army was poked down more than 100 times, and then slashed, and before the Qing army woke up, it was defeated.

The two groups of reinforcements of the Qing army, numbering more than 500 people, were actually attacked by the Taiping army's first blockade line in the dark night, and all of them clicked.
