Chapter 492: Sniping the Rebel General
Deng Ding and Kui Wen, who thought they knew everything about the vicinity of Chengdu, led the main army under their command to slowly enter the Sheep Intestine Valley after making some necessary preparations.
Deng Ding and Kui Wen, who rode their horses side by side, looked up at both sides of the valley from time to time, it was the spring equinox, and the grass and trees on both sides of the valley had just sprouted, with a faint light green, which made people feel refreshed and happy.
Kui Wen looked at Deng Ding and said softly: "General Deng, if the Jin army sets up an ambush in the valley, won't our army suffer heavy losses." ”
Deng Ding smiled, looked at the sides of the valley, and replied softly: "What General Kui said is that if the Jin army sets up an ambush in the valley, our army will enter rashly, and it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but if the Jin army wants to set up an ambush, how can it escape the eyes of our army scouts, at present, the Jin army's troop configuration near Chengdu is controlled by you and me, and there will be no Jin army ambush in this sheep intestine valley, even if there is an ambush, at most it is a small force of several hundred people, which does not pose much threat to our army." After speaking, he had a nonchalant expression.
Kui Wen is also full of relaxation, looking up at the sides of the valley from time to time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of early spring.
#######
Just when Deng Ding and Kui Wen triumphantly entered the Sheep Intestine Valley, Zhuge Xiong and the Thousand Wudang Flying Army, who were ambushed in the hidden place of the Sheep Intestine Valley, were ready to attack.
The soldiers were nervous because they had to kill the enemy commander in one shot, and every soldier looked nervously in the direction of the valley to wait for the main rebel force that was about to enter the valley.
Just in case, one of Zhuge Xiong's subordinates prepared thousands of large fireballs that could be released after a round of shooting. to cause confusion to the main rebel army, so that the rebels can be routed more easily.
Soon, the vanguard of the rebels came into the sight of the Wudang Fei Army, which made Zhuge Xiong and all the soldiers under his command nervous.
"Soldiers, don't move, it's the vanguard of the rebels, let them go." Zhuge Xiong hurriedly ordered his subordinates not to act rashly, so as to prevent the soldiers from shooting the rebel forward by mistake because of nervousness, thus causing the entire plan to fall short.
The rebel vanguard numbered 2,000 men. And it's all cavalry. The mighty march was very mighty, and soon, it disappeared from Zhuge Xiong's sight.
"Look, campmaster. The rebels' Chinese army came. One of his subordinates reminded in a whisper.
Zhuge Xiong raised his eyes and looked. The main force of the rebel army. was marching towards the ambush area, but he didn't see Deng Ding and Kui Wen.
"Deng Ding and Kui Wen are still behind, don't move. Don't expose your target. Zhuge Xiong reminded in a low voice that as long as he didn't see Deng Ding and Kui Wen, he would not order an attack.
The main force of the rebel army in China was getting closer and closer, and soon they reached the ambush position of the Wudang Fei army, and walked one after another, Zhuge Xiong and his generals were closely monitoring the rebels' every move, and looking for Deng Ding and Kui Wen.
When the main force of the rebel army had passed a little half, two generals wearing gold armor entered Zhuge Xiong's sight, and these two people could be preliminarily judged from the armor to be Deng Ding and Kui Wen.
"Soldiers, prepare for battle immediately, the two in front should be Deng Ding and Kui Wen, the main generals of the rebels." Zhuge Xiong ordered in a low voice.
Soon, the figures of the two were getting closer and closer, and Zhuge Xiong could see clearly that these two were the rebels' main generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen.
Seeing that Deng Ding and Kui Wen finally approached, Zhuge Xiong and the Wudang Feijun under his command quietly stretched out the repeater crossbow in their hands and aimed at the two of them.
"Soldiers, shoot Deng Ding and Kui Wen, and let ......" After Deng Ding and Kui Wen entered the best shooting position, Zhuge Xiong decisively gave the order to shoot.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......" received Zhuge Xiong's order, and all the Wudang Fei troops immediately fired their crossbows and shot at Deng Ding and Kui Wen in the valley.
A thousand hard crossbows were shot out at the same time, and in an instant, several crossbow arrows hit the unsuspecting Deng Ding and Kui Wen, and just as the two of them wanted to dodge, countless crossbow arrows rained down, and shot their bodies one after another, shooting their bodies like hedgehogs.
The crossbow shot was extremely fast, and the soldiers who were responsible for protecting Deng Ding and Kui Wen didn't have time to react, and when they picked up their shields to protect the main general, their main general had already been shot into a hedgehog and died with a whimper.
Behind Deng Ding and Kui Wen are a large number of high-ranking generals, and their fate is also fatal.
The rebels were suddenly attacked, the main general was killed, and the originally neat team was suddenly chaotic, and many generals, each commanding their own team, did not belong to each other, making the whole team look even more chaotic.
Seeing that Deng Ding and Kui Wen had fallen off their horses with arrows all over their bodies, and the rebel ranks began to scatter, Zhuge Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, light the fire." ”
Hearing the order, the soldiers under his command ignited the thousands of large fireballs that had been prepared for a long time and pushed them down hard.
Thousands of large fireballs, the further down the fire, the bigger the fire, when it rolled to the ground, the fire ignited by the sphere was already a foot high, thousands of fireballs gathered together, forming a large area of red-hot fire, scorching the rebels in it.
The rebel soldiers, who could not stand the blazing flames, began to flee in all directions, and disrupted the otherwise neat ranks, leaving the entire rebel ranks in disarray.
Some rebel generals were shouting loudly, telling the soldiers under their command not to mess up and obey their own commands, but under the domination of the desire to survive, the rebel soldiers first thought of saving their lives, not for what people were trying to do.
Seeing that the rebels had been completely chaotic, and only a few rebel generals were shouting loudly, Zhuge Xiong was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Soldiers, release arrows and kill the rebel generals." ”
The Wudang Flying Army under Zhuge Xiong are all well-trained archers, and although the accuracy of the repeater is not high, they can still easily snipe the rebel generals under the dense continuous fire.
Under Zhuge Xiong's order, the 1,000 Wudang Flying Army aimed at the generals above the rebel battalion owner, started a hunting operation, and soon shot dozens of rebel generals.
Due to the devastating blow to the rebels' chain of command, they were unable to organize effective resistance, and the rebels, despite their large numbers, were like sheep waiting to be slaughtered, waiting to be slaughtered by the Wudang Flying Army.
Under the rounds of shooting and killing by the Wudang Flying Army, the rebel soldiers, dominated by the desire to survive, began to flee backwards, and broke up the rebel ranks in the rear, causing the entire rebel team to flee backwards.
Zhuge Xiong appropriately ordered his subordinates to pursue in order to expand the results of the battle, and at this time, there was an extremely comical scene, a thousand Wudang flying troops chased tens of thousands of rebels to run, but the rebels had no power to resist, so they could only flee backwards.
After chasing to the valley mouth, Zhuge Xiong and the Wudang Fei army under his command stopped, and there was an open field in front of them, and if they pursued further, they would expose their weaknesses in front of the rebels, so they immediately withdrew to the original ambush position.
After the rebels fled from the valley, due to the lack of unified command, they all made their own decisions and scattered to different positions, some returned to their hometowns to farm, some intended to surrender to the Jin army, and some wanted to enter the mountains, occupy the mountains as kings, and live a free life, in short, tens of thousands of rebels have completely collapsed, completely lost the ability to support Chengdu.
The rebel cavalry that passed through the Guò Sheep Intestine Valley one step earlier, with a strength of only two thousand, would not pose much threat to the main force of the Jin army at all.
When Zhuge Xiong led the Wudang Fei Army under his command and returned to the position of the main general of the crossbow killing rebels, thousands of large fireballs had been basically extinguished, but the afterglow was very hot.
Zhuge Xiong asked his soldiers to search for the corpses of the rebel generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen, in order to prepare to lift them and send them to the Chinese army's big tent in Hua'an to ask for merit.
The soldiers were in the pile of corpses, and soon found the bodies of Deng Ding and Kui Wen, Zhuge Xiong took a look, it was indeed Deng Ding and Kui Wen themselves, and his heart couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
The soldiers under his command carried over the bodies of dozens of rebel battalion owners and above, and some of the corpses had already been scorched by the fire.
Zhuge Xiong looked at the corpses of the many rebel generals under his feet, and said softly: "The rebel generals are dead and wounded, and the remaining soldiers will definitely disperse, there is no point for us to stay here, take these corpses, return to the north gate of Chengdu, and join the main army."
When his subordinates heard the order, they began to order the soldiers to take the bodies of these high-ranking rebel generals with them, and began to march towards the north gate of Chengdu.
The 2,000 rebel cavalry who had passed through the Yanggu Valley earlier, after learning that the main force in the rear had been ambushed by the Wudang Fei Army, understood that it was meaningless for them to return to the rescue, so they accelerated their speed and rushed to the south gate of Chengdu to enter the city, join the rebel teams in the city, and told Wang Wei and Wang Run and others in the city that the main army was ambushed by the Wudangfei Army of the Jin Army in the Yanggu Valley.
Wang Wei and Wang Run were taken aback when they heard that the main army was ambushed in the Sheep Intestine Valley, but after the ambush, they did not know what the losses of the army were, but they believed that with the strength of Deng Ding and Kui Wen, it was more than enough to deal with the small 1,000 Jin army, at most, it was temporarily blocked the way, or it would be possible to reach the city of Chengdu in a few days.
#####
After a continuous day of marching, Zhuge Xiong's troops arrived at the Jin army camp outside the north gate of Chengdu, and Zhuge Xiong immediately went to the Chinese army's tent to meet Hua'an.
At this time, Hua An was in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing with his subordinates about the attack on Chengdu, and when he saw Zhuge Xiong confidently walking into the big tent, he couldn't help but be happy.
Zhuge Xiong was able to return safely and was in good spirits, which seems to be enough to show that the task of sniping the rebel generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen was completed, and Zhuge Xiong specially came to report the results of the battle and ask for credit.
Hua An smiled and hurriedly asked, "Zhuge Xiong, have you brought the heads of Deng Ding and Kui Wen?" ”
When Zhuge Xiong heard this, he clenched his fists and said: "General, the rebel generals Deng Ding and Kui Wen have been killed by the last general, and the corpse is outside the tent, please take a look." (To be continued......)
