Chapter 105: Ambush

Immediately following, Wu Rumeng immediately sent people to set up a list in the inner city to recruit soldiers. Just like Wu Rumeng said, there are many people who can't eat, and they go to follow the Liukou, where is it better to join the imperial court officials and soldiers, for a while, there is an endless stream of applicants, scrambling to be the first, and it didn't take a day to recruit tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang.

Being able to recruit so many people so quickly is also due to the Liukou, because as soon as the news of the arrival of the Liukou spread, the surrounding people fled into Taiyuan City, and there are now people in Taiyuan City.

On the second day, it was even more exaggerated, the conscription office was too busy, the chief soldier asked his subordinates to open several more conscription points, and Wu Rumeng helped to come up with ideas, from the recruits, select literate ones, responsible for helping recruit soldiers, and gave it to the little boss. In this way, the recruits who become petty leaders are more active, busy with the front and back, and keep the recruitment order in order. At the end of the day, almost 20,000 people were recruited. With this number of people, Wu Rumeng and the general soldier were more satisfied, and they also felt that it was enough, and there was no need to recruit any more. After all, the official army is not as good as the rogue and is organized.

There is a military war bureau in Taiyuan City, and there are still weapons, so they are directly raised and issued to new soldiers. The uniform is not enough, so it can only be improvised, there are those who came first, and those who came later, just wear civilian clothes to make do with it, and then reissue it later. Anyway, when the soldiers are in the city, they can't control that much.

They are in full swing on this side, preparing to cooperate with the reinforcements to vigorously clear the rogues, and then talk about the other side.

Chi Wenjun was defeated in Yangxing, and was chased and killed by the rogues for several miles, with heavy casualties, and only a thousand people were left with him. Finally, he ran out for seven or eight more miles, and when he saw that the rogues did not chase him, he breathed a long sigh. Take the men and horses and rest on the spot.

There was no food or grass around, but fortunately, the soldiers were tired and did not have the spirit to eat, so they fell to the ground and fell asleep. Chi Wenjun was also a little tired, but he didn't dare to sleep, this time the army was defeated, how could he go back and explain to the governor.

He leaned against the tree on the side of the road, extremely sad in his heart, this was the first time he led his troops to fight, and he didn't expect it to be such an ending.

It was already dark, and looking at the stars in the sky, Chi Wenjun was melancholy. Faintly, he suddenly heard footsteps not far away, the footsteps were rather chaotic, he jumped at that time, and hurriedly beckoned his soldiers to get up and prepare to flee for their lives.

Soon saw the figure, and when he saw the people who came, Chi Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief, the people who came over were not chasers, but the remnants of the defeated soldiers who had been scattered by the Liukou.

Seeing his people return, Chi Wenjun's mood was a little better, there were more people left, and it was good to see the governor when he went back.

This night, from time to time, defeated troops rushed back, and the number of them increased. Officers and soldiers are not necessarily very strong in battle, but the quality of escaping is not ordinarily strong, especially the officers and soldiers led by Chi Wenjun or the border army, whether it is combat effectiveness or the ability to escape, they are stronger than ordinary troops. By the morning, Chi Wenjun had almost outnumbered the troops, and the troops he had gathered had already reached six or seven thousand people.

It's still relatively close to Liukou here, Chi Wenjun doesn't dare to stay for a long time, and he has to endure hunger, which is better than losing his life. He led the troops and continued to flee for his life, but along the way, he encountered many defeated soldiers, and there were quite a few of them.

Seeing so many defeated soldiers running in front of him, Chi Wenjun was breathless and happy. walked more than 40 miles in one breath, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses around him. With soldiers and horses, Chi Wenjun can be regarded as confident, but there is no food, at this time, the big guy really can't walk.

But at this juncture, there were cavalry coming from the opposite side, there were not many people, only seven or eight horsemen, no need to guess, at a glance, it was the rear army to explore the outpost.

Chi Wenjun hurriedly called people over and asked how far the rear army was, and the outpost replied that there were less than thirty miles left, and after hearing this answer, Chi Wenjun was overjoyed, and hurriedly told the outpost that he should go back and send a letter to the marshal, the brothers here are dying of hunger, hurry up and come for reinforcements.

Wu Sinan and Sima Qiaoyu are coming along the road with the rear army, their march is not slow, sixty or seventy miles a day, and now the boundary of Changsnake Mountain. As the name suggests, since it is called Long Snake Mountain, the surrounding mountains must spread like long snakes. Long Snake Mountain stretches for seven or eight miles, the mountain is not high, but the jungle is dense.

They were traveling on the road under the mountain, and suddenly a sentry came back to report, saying that Chi Wenjun was defeated and lost most of them, and now he was resting twenty miles ahead, because all the grain and grass had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and he had not eaten for two days, so he asked the commander to go to the aid quickly.

When Wu Sinan heard this, he almost vomited blood, and he said angrily: "Tell him that the governor is going to camp here today, and if you want to eat, come by yourself." ”

"Yes, Marshal." Tanma said yes and was about to turn and leave. But at this time, I heard someone shouting: "Slow! ”

Tanma hurriedly stopped, but Wu Sinan turned his head to take a look, and saw that the person who said this turned out to be Sima Qiaoyu. Wu Sinan endured his temper and said, "General Sima, is there something wrong?" ”

"Great commander, the great defeat of the front army has caused heavy losses to our army, and the new victory of the rogue will inevitably increase morale, and the enemy is outnumbered, if the enemy is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. The last general thinks that at this moment, he should be outwitted. There will be a plan in the end, I don't know if it is feasible? Sima Qiaoyu said gently.

"Oh?" Wu Sinan doesn't know how to fight, but he has always had the ability to know people well, Sima Qiaoyu was promoted by Yue Su, and he also decided that this person had some ability. Now when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "General Sima has any high opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Look at the terrain here, the mountains are like a long snake stretching, and it is a good place to set up an ambush. The last general thought that our army was lying in wait in the mountains, leading the rogues here, and when the time came, they would suddenly kill, and they would definitely be able to kill the rogues by surprise. The Liukou are mostly a rabble, and it is bound to be difficult to resist, and this battle will be a complete success. Sima Qiaoyu said.

"Well, not bad, not bad...... Wu Sinan nodded again and again, and said: "No wonder Lord Yue guarantees that you are the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and you do have some skills." That's it? It's just that I don't know who to send to lure the enemy? ”

"Dashuai, isn't there one in front?" Sima Qiaoyu pointed ahead and said with a smile.

"You mean let Chi Wenjun?" Wu Sinan said.

"Exactly. Adults can allocate some food over, but not too much, just a little, let them bury the pot on the spot to cook, and inform Chi Wenjun of the plan. Liukou didn't know that our reinforcements had arrived, and if he saw that the smoke was not far away, he would definitely rush to chase and kill Chi Wenjun. When the time comes, Chi Wenjun only needs to lead his troops to escape here, and when he attracts the rogue, he will become a ......" Sima Qiaoyu said at the end, and couldn't help laughing.

"Wonderful, wonderful......"

The Liukou won a big victory, and with their character of chasing and fighting, they had to chase and kill Chi Wenjun along the road. After chasing a few miles before, everyone was really hungry, so they could only stop eating and resting. It was not until dawn the next day that the troops continued to pursue, Chi Wenjun and they did not flee slowly, there were many rogues, and the marching speed was not too fast, so the two sides kept a distance of seven or eight miles.

To tell the truth, the Liukou didn't know where the officers and soldiers had gone, and there weren't many horses in total, the eight battalions added up to more than 2,000 horses, and the few were only one hundred and eighty, and there were only four or five hundred like Gao Yingxiang. At best, a few horses for the outposts.

Along the way, there are scattered officers and soldiers, once they meet, they will definitely have to fight, there are fewer outposts, it really doesn't work, if they are unlucky, let the officers and soldiers even rob their horses. Therefore, the two sides have always maintained a distance of several miles, and the rogues do not know how far the officers and soldiers have run out. I even thought that they were gone.

At dusk, Liukou wanted to stop and rest, but suddenly saw cooking smoke rising in front of him. It can also be shown that the troops in front are not too far, only a few miles away.

Liukou was overjoyed, and did not rest, he pulled his legs and chased after him, seven or eight miles, if he marched quickly, it would not take too long, and when he arrived, the officers and soldiers had already begun to eat, and when they saw Liukou chasing, they were so frightened that they ran away from Baotou. The best thing for the rogues is to fight this kind of downwind battle, and the leaders of the battalions have already made up their minds that they must wipe out this group of officers and soldiers, so they order to chase them desperately.

chased and ran, ran out of more than ten miles in one go, the sky was already dark, and it was the time of day. Seeing that it was too late, Liukou had rushed for a day's journey today, obviously not wanting to chase after him, so he just stopped to rest, but after a while, the officers and soldiers who had fled in front turned around and killed back.

"Kill!" "Rush!" ……

Seeing that the officers and soldiers came back, the rogues did not dare to rest anymore, so they could only meet them, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the officers and soldiers turned their heads and continued to run. Liukou was furious, and this time he didn't want to rest, so he continued to chase.

After chasing for a few miles, I came to the location of Long Snake Mountain. The mountains and forests on the side of the road are dense, and as soon as he arrived here, Gao Yingxiang felt bad, and hurriedly asked his soldiers and horses to slow down, and informed the other battalions not to continue to chase, so as not to fall into an ambush.

However, the rogue army is not a family that says it, the eight battalions of soldiers and horses are in their own way, roaring forward, and it is very difficult to give orders and commands, and it is not so easy to inform other leaders. The other battalions pursued as usual, and less than two miles earlier, in the jungle on the side, countless arrows suddenly shot out, like raindrops.

A bow and arrow were fired, and the rogues who were running forward were stunned, and immediately followed, they saw countless torches lit up in the jungle, and rows of rockets flew down from the mountain.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" ……

Another rain of arrows, after which a series of corpses of rogues were left behind. And at this time, the shouts of killing on the mountain were loud.

"Rush!" "Kill!" "The imperial army is here! You and the other rogues will not be quick to surrender! ”……

When the rogues heard this, they were even more confused, and they could only see the torches spreading on the mountain, and they didn't know how many soldiers and horses were hidden. The officers and men who were fleeing for their lives in front have now turned around and killed them. Seeing this posture, Liukou also knew that he was ambushed, "We are ambushed!" "Run!" ……

The rogues were completely chaotic, they turned around and ran, but there was still no time, the officers and soldiers on the mountain and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were like flowing water, killing the generals. The rogues only knew how to flee for their lives, and they had no heart to resist, and they didn't need to be cut and killed by officers and soldiers, and they trampled on each other, resulting in countless casualties.

Gao Yingxiang's troops were not chaotic, but they were also disrupted by the rogues of other battalions, so they could only turn around and flee for their lives.
