vs 23 Ambush Soldiers Coming to the City [2]
The soil dug out of the ravine was piled up by the county soldiers into a low wall five feet high. However, Dian Wei just kicked out, and in the brown and yellow "Zhanqi" flying in the sky, the freshly repaired earthen wall collapsed. Before all the new soil in the sky fell, two terrifying halberd shadows had already swept the three county soldiers in the front row into the killing field, turning them into three bloody corpses!
"Help!"
"Monster!"
"Defeated! Defeated! ”
Dian Wei killed three people in one fell swoop, and was about to continue the charge, but saw that the enemies in front of him had broken and fled, and he didn't even look back. Listening to the shouting words in their mouths when they were running away, Dian Wei was a little dazed at that time.
- So it's a victory?
- It's too hard to fight, right?
Not only was Dian Wei confused by the enemy's rout, but the county soldiers retreated so quickly that it was beyond everyone's expectations.
The arrogance of supervising the battle under the great command of the Chinese army, as soon as he ordered someone to beat a drum, he heard the heavy armor team attacking and cheered loudly. When the arrogance is still doubting whether there is fraud in it, the reward ahead has arrived. The informant said that the enemy forces were vulnerable and retreated on their own; Our army has already conquered the enemy's small village in the north and is ramming the outer wall of Shuibeili.
Hearing this good news, the generals of the Taixing Army who surrounded Zhang Qi could be regarded as reacting, and they congratulated Zhang Qi on the military salute:
"Mighty and mighty! The enemy is descending from the wind! ”
With the leadership of the general, the surrounding soldiers also joined in. For a time, "handsome and mighty!" "Heavenly Master Wansheng!" The cheering slogans resounded for miles. Such a warm celebration made the Taiyuan soldiers who were still hiding in the wall of Shuibeili and struggling to the death become more and more frightened.
Listening to the cheers of the enemy troops, Li Wei's face turned pale. asked the county soldiers and marquis who were still calm in front of him:
"This place is undefensible. I am a son of a family, and I must not be dishonored by the remnants of the Yellow Turban. Now the top priority is to break through as soon as possible. ”
The marquis was about forty years old, with gray temples and a weathered face. Listening to Li Yan's words, he nodded slightly. But there is no next step. Seeing that the military marquis did not react, Li Yan was a little panicked, and hurriedly asked:
"Why hasn't the marquis moved?"
The military marquis who was questioned still had a flat expression. He arched his hand at Li Wei and said:
"Since this is the case, I will send the soldiers Cao Peng for a ride. The east and north sides were heavily guarded by the enemy, and only the west side did not have many enemies. The soldiers could first break through to the west, and then turn north and enter the mountains. It's almost time to escape. ”
When Li Tan heard this arrangement, he was overjoyed, but immediately frowned again and asked:
"What about you?"
Hearing Li Yan's question, the military marquis said in a deep voice with a serious face:
"Jun is a son of a family, and his status is precious. He is only from a humble background, but he does not have these many scruples. If there is no one to preside over here, won't it be able to support it for a moment? The amount is after the soldier Cao Peng is broken. As long as Bing Cao Peng returns to Jinyang, he will take care of his wife and children more! ”
The words of the marquis. Listening to Li Yan's ears made him extremely moved in his heart. On weekdays, Li Yan didn't look down on this military marquis from a humble background, and felt that this person's skills were mediocre, and he was also a good fate, and he followed the right person. It was able to get to where it is now. Unexpectedly, at the current critical moment, this person was able to resolutely stand up and take the initiative to break the back for himself.
Li Wei is not a hypocritical person, he took the kindness of the military marquis in his heart, and said loudly to the military marquis:
"Please rest assured. If I return to Jinyang, I will definitely take care of Jun's wife and son! ”
After saying this, Li Yan immediately carried a steel gun of more than 30 catties, beckoned his henchmen and guards, decisively opened an inner door, aimed at a hole in the Taixing army's encirclement network, and fled westward frantically with more than 200 cronies.
After seeing Li Yan leave, a cronie beside the military marquis asked in a low voice:
"Big brother, did you really break that rabbit cub? The bird was in the camp, but he didn't do them any good. After breaking it off for him, his forehead felt uncomfortable......"
The marquis turned his head, raised his hand and gave the cronie who spoke a slap.
"Silly! If you don't say so, will the rabbit cub take care of your sister-in-law and nephew when he returns to the county town? Besides, after all, do it, don't get tired of it, will you kill yourself? ”
Hearing the words of the military marquis, the cronies around him, who were originally very ugly, all brushed their faces and showed joy. Another cronie, ignoring the danger of being beaten, hurriedly asked:
"Big brother, what are your plans? Tell me about it, brothers? The provincial foreheads are not steady! ”
Looking at the familiar faces around him with longing expressions, and hearing the continuous sound of giant trees crashing on the wall, the military marquis didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced his plan:
"This battle cannot be won. Flee back, they are also a group of defeated troops, and it is good not to be imprisoned. So far, there is only one way to go. ”
Hearing this, everyone raised their ears high, for fear that they would hear a wrong word and lose their lives. But seeing that the military marquis sighed briefly, he said softly:
"It's down."
"Down?"
"Yes, it's down."
The cronies around him all looked dignified. Surrender is simple, but the treatment after surrender is not to be pondered.
"It's not that you don't know that the Taixing Army has always taken good care of us little soldiers. In the past two years, there have also been many old guys in the border army who joined the Taixing Army. With your martial arts, not to mention anything else, even if you can't be promoted, there should be no problem in mixing in the Taixing Army. ”
Hearing the words of the military marquis, the big guys were quite moved. In recent years, the Taixing army has developed rapidly, and it can be described as prestigious. Anyway, whether it is the Taixing army or the Taiyuan county soldiers, they are all the army of the Han Dynasty, which one is not the same?
And everyone has heard that the leader of the Taixing Army is arrogant, but the stars in the sky are descending to earth, and they are fine with the passage method. The future of such a heroic figure is immeasurable!
"Big brother, what if ...... Surrender, you're afraid you're gone? ”
A cronie asked worriedly. The military marquis smiled faintly on his face, and pretended to be relaxed:
"It's gone! After fighting and killing on the battlefield for 20 years, I have killed enough. I heard that the Taixing army has snatched back the five originals and is recruiting people to Tuntian. If you go there and occupy a piece of land, you can't say that you will be a landlord in the future! ”
A group of people in this wall room were talking, and suddenly they heard the entire inner wall shake violently. Immediately afterwards, countless voices came together into one voice, and it sounded wildly:
"The wall is broken! The wall is broken! ”
In the face of such movements, the military marquis shouted to the people around him:
"Quick! Greet the big guy to surrender! Don't lose your life here, it's not worth it! ”
With someone to take the lead, the county soldiers who had not escaped with Li Wei at this time had no idea of fighting and had to surrender obediently. In such a situation, Dian Wei, who led people to rush into the north of the water, saw it, and he was full of depression. It wasn't until Zhang Qiang specially gave him a jar of fine wine on the grounds that Dian Wei's first merit in breaking the army was the reason that Dian Wei's anger came over.
In this battle, Zhang Arrogant used the naval army to cut off the enemy's supply and retreat, and hit the enemy's morale to a very low level in one fell swoop. Then, he besieged the enemy with superior forces, and even used the fierce general Dian Wei to resolutely launch a fierce attack on the enemy's unrepaired camp, thus successfully forcing the Taiyuan soldiers to land, totaling nearly 800 people below the military marquis.
The soldier Cao Peng Li led 200 cronies to break through to the west, but was chased and killed by the cavalry arranged by the Taihang military first, beheaded 60 people, and captured more than 100 people. Li Yan was wounded several times, and only 20 or 30 people successfully escaped into the mountains and forests. In the course of the entire battle, only sixteen people were wounded and two were killed, which can be described as a complete victory!
However, this victory is not the end of the battle. On the contrary, for the Tai Marching Army, this was the beginning of the next war.
Li Yan was so embarrassed when he fled that he left the seal of his own soldier Cao Peng in Shuibeili, and he didn't have time to take it away. After getting the seal letter from Cao Peng, a soldier in the county, Zhang Mad grasped the success in his heart about the next action to be carried out, and increased from sixty percent to eighty percent in one fell swoop.
If you want to use it, don't wait for it.
In these years of military career, Zhang Qi has already been trained to do things vigorously. He sat in the lobby of Shuibeili, held up Li Yan's seal, and said:
"Ziyi!"
"In!"
Guo Wei, who was standing on the side, answered loudly.
Since Mrs. Guo was seriously injured and took the initiative to hand over the forces of Taiping Road and Baibo Valley to Zhang Mad in Bingzhou, Guo Wei has been following Zhang Mad to do things. However, all along, Guo Wei has not encountered any major battles under the hands of Zhang Qiang. Now that he has been named a general, his heart immediately perks up, and he understands that he will soon have military exploits to be fished!
"Ziyi, you can lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, take the warships captured by Wenxiang, bypass Pingtao, and defraud Daling County with the enemy's seal. Questions? ”
"Nope!"
Guo Wei took a step forward respectfully, took Li Wei's seal, and assured arrogantly that he would complete the task of defrauding the enemy city this time.
Daling County is located to the east of Pingtao County and is still part of the enemy's rear. If you can surprise Daling County, you can cut off the backup and retreat of Pingtao City in one fell swoop.
If Daling County is captured by the Taixing army, in this way, the defenders in Pingtao County will become a turtle in the urn, and it will be absolutely difficult to escape the result of annihilation. Perhaps as soon as the news of the fall of Daling County reached Pingtao, the defenders of Pingtao could not hold on.
Seeing that Guo Wei had won this task that was easy to achieve, the rest of the generals naturally felt jealous in their hearts.
However, Guo Wei himself is extremely powerful, and he is also a strong man at the level of "Thousand People Broken". And his uncle Mrs. Guo is one of the cheap people who are arrogant, and his prestige in Taiping Dao is second only to arrogant, which is enough to block other people's mouths. Zhang arrogant assigns tasks in this way, even if there is a slight partiality in secret, others can only think it is reasonable. (To be continued......)
