Chapter Seventy-One: The Battle of Heishuiyu

Heishuiyu is the exit of Meridian Valley in SX, and after Heishuiyu, it is Mazhao Town. After passing through Mazhao Town, the www.biquge.info entered the suburbs of Xi'an, which is a well-known ancient town in ZZ County. Heishuiyu (now Heihe Reservoir in SXZZ County) is one of the 72 valleys in the Qinling Mountains, because it is accompanied by the flow of the Heihe River, so it is called Heishuiyu and also called Heiyu.

The exit from Hanzhong to Xi'an through the Meridian Valley is in Heishuiyu.

Looking at Heishuiyu now, it is lush and green, like a fairyland, but in fact, it was once an ancient battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse and swords.

"Dashuai, will Gao Yingxiang really come out of here?" Looking at the narrow and steep path in Heishuiyu not far away, Deputy General Luo Shangwen asked with some suspicion.

20,000 Qin troops have been in ambush here for more than ten days, there are many mosquitoes here, it is hot during the day and cold at night, and it is really hard to ambush here.

Sun Chuanting said confidently: "Yes, he must be in the Meridian Valley at this time, I believe that he will come in a few days." ”

It turned out that after Gao Yingxiang's troops disappeared into the mountains and dense forests of Hanzhong, Sun Chuanting sent people to investigate to no avail, so he looked at the map and pondered their whereabouts.

With his understanding of Liukou, he quickly guessed Gao Yingxiang's whereabouts, so he took 20,000 Qin troops from Hanzhong day and night to set up an ambush in Heishuiyu, ZZ County, and waited for Gao Yingxiang to go out of the valley.

At noon on this day, a team of tens of thousands of people appeared in Heishuiyu, ZZ County, not far from Xi'an, and there were old and young in the team, dressed in shabby clothes and messy banners, this was the peasant army led by Gao Yingxiang.

After 15 days of difficult marching, overcoming countless difficulties, Chongzhen arrived at Heishuiyu in ZZ County on July 16 of the ninth year of Chongzhen.

"This Meridian Valley is indeed too difficult to walk, no wonder Zhuge Kongming didn't dare to attack Chang'an from the Meridian Valley back then." Breaking into the sky, Liu Guoneng said.

Scorpion block Tuoyangkun said: "It is precisely because it is difficult to walk, the officials and soldiers would not have thought that we would take this road, maybe Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, two pigheads, are still looking for our traces everywhere in Hanzhong......" He laughed out loud as he spoke.

Gao Yingxiang pointed to the mouth of the Meridian Valley not far away and said: "A few brothers, along the way, everyone has worked hard, after a while, we will walk out of the Meridian Valley, there are more silver and beauties in Xi'an City, this Shuai promises you, take Xi'an City, take a three-day holiday, and compensate for the hardships of the brothers." ”

"Good! Let's go! ......" the peasant army shouted excitedly and quickly rushed towards the mouth of the meridian valley. ”

Seeing that the peasant army of the brigade walked out of the Meridian Valley and was drilling into his encirclement, Sun Chuanting whispered instructions to the heralds, who bent their waists in the woods and headed towards the ambush of the deputy general Luo Shangwen.

Finally, Gao Yingxiang entered Sun Chuanting's encirclement, and with a trumpet of artillery, the officers and soldiers rained down arrows, and hundreds of peasant soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and then the officers and soldiers rushed out of the woods halfway up the mountain with a shout.

Looking at the dense officers and soldiers who rushed down, he said in a panic: "Big brother, we have been tricked."

"Damn, fight." Gao Yingxiang said loudly, patted the horse and danced the gun, and greeted him, and Luo Shangwen patted the horse and danced the knife to fight.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle to the death. The sword light and sword shadow, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood splashed everywhere, and stumps flew.

On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere, and wounded soldiers were lying on the ground splashed with blood, groaning and screaming in pain.

"His grandmother's! These Qin troops are too ruthless, if the officers and soldiers are all playing with their lives like this, Lao Tzu will make a fart back. Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun said as he swung his knife and slashed at the Qin soldiers who rushed to his side.

Looking at the soldiers of the Ming army who did not dodge or dodge, it seemed that they could not see the swords and guns that were swaying, but they had a pair of red eyes, as if they wanted to gnaw on a piece of their own flesh.

A day later, Hong Chengchou arrived with reinforcements.

"Kill! ......" Zu Kuan shouted, and led his three thousand cavalry to rush into the battle formation, and the high-speed galloping war horses and the snowy broadswords in the hands of the knights soon rolled the heads of the peasant army, and the stumps flew.

After a desperate fight, Gao Yingxiang had to command his subordinates to fight and retreat, and retreated into the Meridian Valley.

"Capture the thief Gao Yingxiang alive, the official will be promoted to the third level, kill the thief Gao Yingxiang, and reward 10,000 taels of silver." Hong Chengchou shouted.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they pursued the peasant army relentlessly.

The road in the Meridian Valley was narrow and steep, it had rained again, the muddy road was slippery, it was difficult to go fast, and after walking not far away, the peasant army caught up with the officers and troops, broke through the siege three times, and was caught up three times.

On the fourth day of the fierce battle, although the peasant army defeated the pursuing general Li Yuchun's official army, but because of the lack of food for many days, Gao Yingxiang's men and horses were in a state of semi-starvation and could not support it, and gradually could not withstand the attack of the official army in the battle, and finally retreated to a mountain near Xianyou Temple.

The officers and soldiers chased after them and surrounded the mountain.

"Boya, the thief Gao Yingxiang has been besieged on the mountain, and we must not let him escape again this time." Hong Chengchou looked at the mountain in front of him and said to Sun Chuanting.

Nodding, Sun Chuanting said loudly, "Order, seal this mountain tightly, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving." ”。

In the blink of an eye, Gao Yingxiang's department was surrounded on the mountain for three days, and the dry rooster Zhang Er and Yidougu Huanglong were responsible for taking care of Gao Yingxiang's life, and in three days, they only hunted a hare.

Gao Yingxiang and the leading guards under his tent were dozens of people, and everyone was only enough to drink soup.

That morning, the two were sent out by Gao Yingxiang to find food.

In the past three days, the two have only drunk a few mouthfuls of rabbit soup, and their eyes are already green. Yidougu Huanglong said: "The three of them, Zhang Miaoshou (that is, Zhang Wenyao), and Scorpion Block, don't they know where they have gone, did they rush out?" ”

Looking at the dense official and military camps under the mountain, Zhang Er, the dry rooster, said tentatively: "I'm too hungry, if we continue like this, or in a few days, we will starve to death, Huanglong, otherwise, we will find another way out......"

Yidougu Huanglong also had this intention, and the two hit it off, avoiding the sentry on the mountain, and sneakily descended the mountain.

As soon as he walked to the foot of the mountain, he was caught by the officers and soldiers of Fulu, this official army is He Renlong, I heard that the two are Gao Yingxiang's personal entourage, He Renlong took the two to see Sun Chuanting......

Soon after, the two were back in the mountains.

The next day, the officers and soldiers began to search the mountain, Huang Long found an excuse to deceive Gao Yingxiang's guards, and the dry rooster Zhang Er pulled his mount away, and then took the officers and soldiers to catch Gao Yingxiang, when Gao Yingxiang found that he was surrounded by the officers and soldiers, he could not get out, he had to take off his armor and hide in the grass, but he was still found by the officials and soldiers of Soushan.

After a fight, Gao Yingxiang was captured alive, and on July 16, the ninth year of Chongzhen, a generation of King Chuang was destroyed.

Hearing that Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the Liukou Kui, was captured alive, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly ran over to see, when they saw Gao Yingxiang tied like a zongzi, the two knew that this was true.

After years of arduous pursuit, today there are finally huge results, and Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou are ecstatic.

"Finally caught this thief, Your Majesty can sleep well." Sun Chuanting said excitedly.

Hong Chengchou also said excitedly: "Yes, since the first year of Chongzhen, it has been nine years, countless pursuits, and today I finally caught this thief." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have hot eyes and tears.

After calming down their emotions, the two began to discuss how to deal with Gao Yingxiang.

In view of Gao Yingxiang's fame, Sun Chuanting advocated killing on the spot to deter the crowd, but Hong Chengchou disagreed, he is a very good official, he said: "In order to catch Gao Yingxiang, the imperial court has spent countless food and salary over the years, and burned down the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum last year. Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, can be said to be the most hated person in His Majesty's heart, and he was finally caught today, and we should hand him over to the imperial court to deal with, so that His Majesty can snow Fengyang's hatred to quit the world's rogues. ”

After hearing these words and thinking about it for a while, Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

"We're playing together." Hong Chengchou said happily.

With a faint smile, Sun Chuanting nodded

Soon, under Hong Chengchou's wonderful pen, a beautiful sentence with beautiful words and thrilling plot twists and turns was written, Sun Chuanting read it and signed his name, and then Hong Chengchou also signed his name.

sealed the victory chapter with a sleeve, sent a few cavalrymen, and flew horses in civilian clothes to the Beijing Division. In addition, a few cavalry were sent to HN to report to Lu Xiangsheng.

After bidding farewell to Lu Xiangsheng in Nanyang, Zhao Guohua and more than 5,000 members of the Volunteer Brigade walked to Beijing, the distance between the two places is about 950 kilometers, or 1,700 miles, and in modern society, it is a maximum of three days by car. But now in Daming, it is walking all the way, in order to make granule gunpowder and grenades, the road was delayed for more than ten days, walked for about a month, and finally arrived in Zhuozhou near the capital division in early July.

"Captain, shall we move forward?" Cheng Chong asked with a tired face.

Looking around, I saw that the village was lonely, there were few people, and even the sound of chickens and dogs barking was difficult to hear, and I faintly saw a few figures on the hill in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Guohua knew that everyone was hiding from the Tartars, and the traces of the Tartars had appeared here.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Call Niu Huan." ”

After a while, Niu Huan came, looked at Zhao Guohua, and said respectfully, "Captain, what do you have to order?" ”
