Chapter Ninety-Three: Ambush Everywhere
Qian Dahuan had already heard it in the back, and immediately ran down the city wall to order troops.
Turning his head, Qian Hongyi patted Liu Shaochi and Chen Wenshan on the shoulders and invited the two to have lunch together. The two shook their heads together, claiming that "their hearts are like arrows, and they don't want to delay", but they were still dragged by Qian Hongyi to have a meal.
After Qian Dahuan ordered the soldiers and horses and had lunch, Liu Shaochi took out the red seal letter with some unwillingness in Qian Hongyi's eyes, and stamped the signature of the order.
Qian Hongyi glanced at the letter of seal, put the order into his arms, and then told Qian Dahuan: "This trip is related to the safety of Quanzhou and Fuzhou, so you must be careful and solve it quickly!" ”
Qian Dahuan waved the copper hammer in his hand and shouted in a rough voice: "Lord Minister, just wait for the good news!" ”
When the Fuzhou army opened the gate of Ningyue, the elite soldiers of Quanzhou, who had been waiting anxiously by the moat, celebrated loudly.
Hearing the sound of celebration and seeing the gate open, the Southern Tang soldiers who had been paying close attention to this place immediately blew up the nest, and the Tang camp was in chaos again.
"Let's go, pack up these Li Tang fake soldiers!" Qian Dahuan shouted at Liu Shaochi, and took the lead in rushing out.
Seeing the cavalry rushing over, the men and horses in the Tang camp were even more panicked, and many people began to grab the camp and run out of the camp, running in the west and east directions, some people took the lead, and the other Southern Tang soldiers also followed behind, and the entire camp was empty in the blink of an eye!
Qian Dahuan looked at the baggage that had been thrown away from the camp, and had to swing the copper hammer on the head of the city, leading the men and horses to step through the camp and rush to the south.
In the direction of reinforcement of Quanzhou, Qian Dahuan had a small dispute with Liu Shaochi, and Qian Dahuan proposed to sneak attack from the direction of Xianyou or the passage in the mountains. Liu Shaochi argued with reason, pointing out that the passage in the direction of Xianyou is near the sea, and now that the sea route is all blocked by the Chu-Tang coalition army, there is little chance of a sneak attack; The mountain passage is inconvenient for the army to walk, and it is too time-delaying; At the same time, due to the fierce fighting in Quanzhou, the Southern Tang Dynasty continued to transfer defenders from Dehua, Yongchun, and Nan'an to the front line, and there were not many defenders along the way.
Qian Dahuan argued, so he had to lead the army in the direction of Dehua. The army rushed all the way along the Wuhu Mountain Middle Road, and in one fell swoop took Yongtai County, which was taken by the Southern Tang Army a few days earlier, and went straight to Dehua.
It was not until the end of the day that the exhausted Fuzhou army rushed to Songkou Town. This is the territorial dividing line between Wu Yue and the Qingyuan Army. To the north of the town, there are still remnants of the camp tents left by the Tang soldiers who went south. Because it was abandoned for a short time, the wall was still complete.
Qian Dahuan didn't bother to set up the camp tent again, and immediately commanded the army to quickly light a fire and cook in the old camp tent.
When the time came, the Fuzhou soldiers who had been on the road for a day gradually fell asleep, and the camp slowly fell silent.
In the middle of the night, more than a dozen black shadows quietly slipped out of the big tent where Liu Shaochi and Chen Wenshan were, and killed the Fuzhou soldiers patrolling in the camp tent one by one, and then pretended to be patrol soldiers, walked to all directions of the wall, and held torches in a continuous way in three long arcs. Not long after, countless black shadows touched down from the surrounding mountains that were not too high, and slowly surrounded the wall, Li Ying worked together, found the wood of the walled wall that was specially loosened during the day, and demolished the continuous walled wall out of a lot of passages that could pass people.
There were more and more black shadows entering the camp, and they gradually divided into different groups of thirty people, and surrounded the Fuzhou camp one by one. When all the alignment was complete, an arrow suddenly rang out in the middle of the camp, and the raid began!
The black shadows immediately lifted the curtain and entered, knocking out or killing the Fuzhou soldiers who were sleeping or waking up in a daze, quickly and effectively solving one tent after another.
Long before the arrows sounded, Liu Shaochi and Chen Wenshan had already led several special soldiers to Qian Dahuan's camp. Together, the two immediately led the crowd into the tent, cut down the guards who woke up one by one, and the two worked together to besiege the panicked Qian Dahuan, and captured him when he reached the fourth move.
Qian Dahuan, who had already understood, scolded, and Chen Wenshan, who was impatient to listen, slapped the boss and beat Qian Dahuan so much that he didn't dare to say anything.
When Qian Dahuan was escorted out of the camp by the two, he found that there were countless soldiers in black in the camp. There is no need to count, Qian Dahuan can completely estimate that these black shadows are several times his own 5,000 people.
When he was asleep, he was surrounded by several times the internal and external cooperation of the enemy, and this battle was too wretched! Ashamed and angry, Qian Dahuan lowered his head, and pushed a heartfelt mallet towards Chen Wenshan, who was closest to him.
Chen Wenshan was neither literate nor good, he took a step back to avoid him, turned the scabbard up with his right hand, and slammed his head into the mud.
Jianzhou Jiedu envoy Chen Yu and former Qingyuan Army deputy commander Chen Hongjin walked out of the crowd, greeted Liu and Chen, and immediately ordered some of them to change into light red Fuzhou military uniforms and raid Yongtai County overnight.
Chen Hongjin glared at Chen Yu and said sarcastically: "Chen Shuigui, the camp tents surrounded by my Quanzhou soldiers are much more than your Jianzhou!" ”
Chen Yu was not polite, and replied directly: "The black light is blind, the ghost knows if your people have found the enemy's camp!" If you want to compare, go to Fuzhou City! ”
"It's better than that, I'm afraid you're a water ghost?! Ah, Wenshan, you have done a great job tonight! Chen Hongjin hugged Chen Wenshan and looked at Chen Yu provocatively, which means that you see how wise and brave my son is!
Chen Yu immediately shook his head and sighed: "Alas! When Desheng came home, I forgot to see what his Datang Order of Honor of the Second Class looked like! I heard that he has paid nearly 1,000 bonuses since last year, and I have to remind him not to spend it casually! ”
Chen Hongjin was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he had nothing to say. Chen Desheng is one of the several masters under Lin Feng, and he has already made his own small reputation in various countries, but his baby son Chen Wenshan has been staying in the Quanzhou army, at most he is in the nest, and he really can't compare with others!
The two quarreled, but it did not affect the business, and they ordered again and again to take more than 3,000 Fuzhou army prisoners, first sent special soldiers to Fuzhou City, and then sent elite troops to attack Yongtai overnight.
At the end of the day, Yongtai County, which had just returned to the embrace of Wu Yueguo, changed hands again, and the three hundred Fuzhou defenders were swept away by the elite of the two armies who sneaked into the city. Chen Yu and Chen Hongjin, who arrived later, led the army and did not enter the city, but hurriedly killed along the mountain road to Fuzhou City.
However, during this period of time, it was not only the Fuzhou soldiers who encountered ambushes.
At the tense moment of the Quanzhou raid, in the northernmost part of Wu Yue, Qian Wenfeng, the envoy of the Zhongwu Jiedu, wanted to replicate the successful raid of the Zhenhai Jiedu envoy, but who knew that the 26-year-old King of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Jingda, the envoy of the Jiangyin Jiedu, were very old in using troops, and came to a deceitful plan to lure the enemy into the pocket formation in front of a swamp near the southwest of Changzhou (now Changzhou, Jiangsu), and the vanguard army of Wu Yue 5,000 people finally returned with only more than 1,500 people, and suffered a big dumb loss. When the news spread, the Wu Yue armies, who were about to move, were a lot more honest.
In the Guiguan area, which few people paid attention to, the Southern Han army that successfully raided the city of Hezhou found that they themselves had become the target of the raid, no matter day or night, the young and strong ethnic minorities who were skilled in archery, several people in a group, and even a horse dared to go out, sneak attacks, assassinations, poisons, traps, and all kinds of means took turns to fight, so that the Southern Han scouts never dared to leave the camp for more than half a mile.
Xie Guan, the deputy marshal of the Southern Han Dynasty, who was extremely annoyed, was ruthless and asked the Southern Han soldiers to break through the city wall, and 20,000 soldiers concentrated on the low city wall on the right side of the east city gate, and broke into the city three times, but the Southern Han soldiers who entered the city began to shout and soon died down. On the last occasion, when Xie Guan grabbed a soldier who had successfully escaped from the wall and asked why, the soldier was shocked and said, "It's full of people, people in all kinds of clothes, besieging us like crazy, and everyone who attacked us died!" ”
Xie Guan suddenly fell into deeper distress, even a small Hezhou is so difficult to fight, when will he be able to take the entire Guiguan region!
