Chapter 14 Life After Death [2861 Monthly Passes Plus Update]

Zhang Xutuo and Lu Mingyue's armies confronted each other for ten days, neither side took the initiative to launch an offensive, Zhang Xutuo waited for the other party to have a defensive hole, while Lu Mingyue waited for Zhang Xutuo to run out of food, and the two armies were in a stalemate.

On this morning, a group of Sui cavalry scouts galloped in front of a large area of reeds, covering an area of 100 acres, and a Sui army was quickly drawing on paper, sketching with charcoal, and he shouted: "Is there a field?" ”

"Looking!" There were Sui soldiers in the reeds who replied, and after a while, more than a dozen Sui soldiers came out and said: "The team is positive, there is a field in the southeast corner, you can ride horses, about a dozen acres." ”

The mapping team was quickly using charcoal to paint the southeast corner of the reeds on the map black, and the Sui scouts probed for a while, then turned their horses and headed west.

．．．．．．．．

A few days later, a grain team from Qi County entered the territory of Jibei County, with a total of nearly 500 ox carts, each ox cart transporting three stone of grain, a total of more than 1,000 stone of grain, nearly 1,000 coachmen, and more than 500 Sui cavalry guards.

During the 10 days of the confrontation between the two armies, there were also two grain convoys that arrived, both of which were very small and could only last 20,000 troops for one or two days, but this time the grain transported was enough for 20,000 troops to support another seven or eight days.

The grain transport team passed through a forest, and then walked forward for twenty miles, you can reach the Sui army, at this moment, only to hear a gong in the forest, thousands of Lu Mingyue's thieves from the forest to kill, the black pressure of the army rushed to the convoy, the people who drove the car were so frightened that they jumped off the carriage and fled, five hundred cavalry rushed forward to kill two formations, knowing that they were invincible, they killed a bloody road away.

A thief general waved his sword and shouted: "Bring the grain cart back immediately!" ”

Thousands of thieves drove ox carts into the forest, and when the 3,000 Sui troops arrived, the thieves had already driven the grain carts away.

When the grain truck entered the camp of the thief army, hundreds of thousands of thieves were jubilant, as if they had won the victory over the Sui army, countless thieves rushed up and stabbed the sack with a knife, took out the grain inside and scattered it into the sky, and even some soldiers began to kill cattle and cut meat, and the camp was in chaos.

Lu Mingyue squinted at the Sui army's grain truck, but in his heart he was quickly calculating the Sui army's grain, he was surprised to find that the Sui army's grain would not last tonight, unless they killed the horses, but the war horses in the Central Plains were extremely precious, a war horse was worth tens of thousands of dollars, and no army was willing to kill the horses until the mountains and rivers were exhausted.

The Sui army obviously wouldn't kill the horses, and he could still choose to retreat, so Lu Mingyue immediately ordered, "Send ten teams of scouts to monitor the movements of the Sui army's camp." ”

．．．．．．．．

In the camp of the Sui Army, Zhang Xutuo was also convening a meeting of the generals, dozens of generals gathered together, Zhang Xutuo glanced at everyone, and said: "I want to tell you the first news, we have run out of food and grass, and we can't survive tonight." ”

There was still silence in the big tent, and when Zhang Xutuo was talking, no one dared to interject, and no one dared to whisper, but at this time, every general showed a look of shock on his face, and the food was cut off, which meant that this battle would be defeated without a fight, and if it was discovered by the other party, it would be defeated.

Zhang Xutuo smiled again, "I need to tell you the second news, the other party knows that we are out of food." ”

This was originally desperate news, but the smile on Zhang Xutuo's face gave everyone a glimmer of hope, and his coach Zhang Xutuo was good at surprise soldiers to win.

"I'm telling you the third news, I deliberately did the food cut-off, and the other party knows that my food cut-off is also my deliberate work, so the decisive battle is tonight, and we will die and live!"

Zhang Xutuo's stern gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he saw a pair of excited and expectant eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction, this was the morale he wanted to see, not the frustration after hearing that the food was cut off.

"Where are Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin?" Zhang Xutuo gave the order.

"The last general!"

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin both stood up and bowed, "Please give the order!" ”

Zhang Xutuo turned around and looked, and the two soldiers hurriedly carried into a wooden frame, on which hung a hand-drawn sketch with charcoal, and everyone recognized it, this is the map of the area where they are, and the patches of red should be reeds.

Zhang Xutuo pointed to the map and said: "This is the battle map drawn by the scout team in ten days, we are on a plain, you see on both sides, there are large reeds on each side, the scouts have been explored, not all of them are water, I will give you two a detailed map." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xutuo said to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin: "I will give you two 1,000 cavalry each, you can go out at night, ambush in the reeds on the left and right, and after the main force of the enemy army pursues out twenty miles, you will kill into the enemy camp, and discuss with you yourself." ”

"Obey!" Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin stepped forward to take the order.

Zhang Xutuo said to everyone: "Tonight will be the day of our revenge!" ”

．．．．．．．．．．

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin rode to the front of the tent, this is Qin Qiong's camp, Qin Qiong is the first lieutenant under Zhang Xutuo, with 4,000 troops, two Guoyi lieutenants, this time Qin Qiong only led a thousand cavalry to ambush, and the rest of the troops were handed over to his deputy commander.

"Let's go to the tent and discuss!"

Qin Qiong turned over and dismounted, and took Luo Shixin away from his big tent, Qin Qiong is nearly forty years old this year, and Zhang Xutuo is also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, like all Qi generals, he also suffered a fiasco at the beginning of the year, but fortunately, his wife, children and mother escaped the catastrophe because they were not in Licheng, which made Qin Qiong thank God again and again for his favor.

He wants to cooperate with Luo Shixin to attack together at night, in fact, this kind of attack does not need to be discussed, they have cooperated in the battle many times, and the styles of both sides are clear, generally Qin Qiong leads the troops first, and Luo Shixin immediately sends troops.

Qin Qiong just wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Luo Shixin, for so many years, he had always regarded Luo Shixin as his younger brother.

"I got news from Cheng Heizi."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, he didn't mention Luo Shixin's sadness at all, but talked to him about interesting things.

"Where is he? I haven't seen that kid in years. Luo Shixin showed a knowing smile on his face, after talking to Master last time, most of his heart knots had been untied, and he was not as sad as before.

"He was in Wagangzhai and took refuge in another of my best friends, Shan Xiongxin, the two used to be enemies, but I didn't expect to become friends now."

"Yes! The world is impermanent, who can predict tomorrow's events, Cheng Heizi went to Wagang, I don't know what kind of mood the master will be when he knows? ”

Luo Shixin smiled bitterly, and said: "Master has a great opinion of Yuan Qing, the last time I mentioned Yuan Qing in front of Master, he was furious and wanted to cut off the master-apprentice relationship with him, Brother Qin, do you think Yuan Qing is too much?" ”

Qin Qiong pondered for a moment and said: "The key is what you think of the Sui Dynasty, if you think that the Sui Dynasty is going to end, then what Yuanqing did is reasonable, on the contrary, if you think that the Sui Dynasty will be long-term, then Yuanqing is a dangerous rebellion." ”

"What does Brother Qin think of the Sui Dynasty?"

Qin Qiong shook his head, "My father and grandfather are both officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty, I will not have a good impression of the Sui Dynasty, what I am doing now is not to defend the Sui Dynasty, but to defend the homeland, I hate these bandits who do all kinds of evil." ”

Luo Shixin nodded heavily, "Actually, I admire my senior brother very much, I can actually rely on my own ability to make a sky, if one day, let me choose again, I will help him, although the master is dissatisfied with him, but I don't, I think he is right, I don't want to serve this faint king." ”

Qin Qiong laughed, "Okay, let's get down to business!" In the future, when there is a chance, our brothers will drink and talk again. ”

Qin Qiong took out the map from his arms and spread it on the small table, "Let's take a look at the distance between the ambush and the enemy camp first." ”

．．．．．．．．．

In the night, Lu Mingyue stood on a lookout tower and looked at the Sui army camp intently, the dark Sui army camp in the distance made him unable to see anything clearly, but his heart was full of longing, he hoped that he could see the Sui army retreat north in a hurry.

At this moment, several black shadows rushed in the night, and at this time, Lu Mingyue sent a scout to monitor the Sui camp, Lu Mingyue's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he shouted from afar: "Is there any movement in the Sui army?" ”

The scout cavalry galloped over, "General, the Sui army has withdrawn, and only an empty camp remains. ”

Lu Mingyue was ecstatic, he turned around and shouted: "Order the three armies, pursue at full speed!" ”

It is not far from Changqing County to Licheng County, only a hundred miles of land, one step later, the Sui army will flee back to the county seat, Lu Mingyue does not want to lose this golden opportunity, personally led more than 100,000 troops, pursued the Sui army, passing by the Sui army camp, the camp is really empty, there is no soldier, Lu Mingyue was so excited that he shouted again: "Catch Zhang Xutuo, whether you live or die, the bounty is a thousand taels!" ”

More than 100,000 thieves chased eastward like a tidal wave......

In the reeds about four miles away from the thief army, Qin Qiong watched the enemy brigade go away, followed by more than a thousand eager Sui cavalry, his eyes fell on the enemy camp, the enemy camp was surrounded by the camp fence, the tall camp fence was densely covered with thousands of big tents, stretching for more than ten miles, there were also defenders in the camp fence, but the number was not much, at most only a few thousand.

When the opportunity came, Qin Qiong lifted his iron lance, turned back to everyone, and said: "The moment of meritorious service is just around the corner, brothers, follow me Qin Qiong to kill it!" ”

With a wave of his lance, he clamped the horse between his legs, and the horse under his crotch rushed out like an arrow, and a thousand soldiers were silent, following him towards the enemy camp.

A squad of cavalry galloped through the darkness, but the sentries on the watchtower still spotted them, when! While! While! The ringing of the alarm bell attracted countless enemy troops to rush to the front camp, but this bell was another signal, Luo Shixin, who was hiding on the other side, also launched, he led a thousand cavalry to attack the side gate, the enemy troops were attracted to the front camp, and the side gate was empty.

Luo Shixin led a thousand cavalry into the enemy camp in an instant, they lit torches and ran in the enemy camp, one after another large camps were ignited, Lu Mingyue's camp was in chaos, the soldiers guarding the camp began to flee, at this time, Qin Qiong also led the army into the enemy camp, they killed people and set fire in the camp, lit the camp fence, lit the tent, burned the camp for more than ten miles, the raging fire went straight to the sky, reflecting the entire night sky.

Lu Mingyue had just chased out more than ten miles, when suddenly a personal soldier pointed behind him and shouted in horror: "General, look!" ”

As soon as Lu Mingyue turned around, his heart was shattered in shock, only to see that his camp was on fire, and the surging huge tongue of fire could be seen clearly even from a dozen outside.

"Not good!"

He suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and Zhang Xutuo used a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"Go back! Kill back! ”

He hissed and shouted, and led the army to turn around and pounce on his camp, at this time, Zhang Xutuo also saw the fire in the distance, he knew that it had succeeded, and he led 20,000 elite soldiers to wait for the last opportunity.

A scout rushed to report: "Commander, the enemy has returned to the camp!" ”

Zhang Xutuo waved his sword, "Kill me back!" ”

20,000 Sui troops turned around and chased and killed, at this time Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin's 2,000 cavalry also covered out, the two Sui armies attacked back and forth, Lu Mingyue's army was defeated, Zhang Xutuo issued an order to kill without mercy, the Sui army chased and killed all the way, killing corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river......

In this battle, Zhang Xutuo led 20,000 foot cavalry to kill more than 120,000 bandits, but Lu Mingyue still escaped under the desperate protection of more than 200 personal guards.

The battle of Changqing, so that Zhang Xutuo's name shocked the Eastern Xia, Zhang Xutuo then invigorated the military prestige, within a month, he led the army in Jibei County and Lu County to fight successively, before and after defeating the bandits Lu Xingxing, Shuai Rentai, Huo Xiaohan and other more than ten rebel bandits, his army was invincible, where the army went, the thief army all fled in despair.

Emperor Yang Guanglian of Sui, who went to Jiangdu to inspect the city, received good news, he was overjoyed, and crowned Zhang Xutuo as the doctor of Guanglu, and led the twelve counties of Henan Province to depose the ambassador.
