Chapter 101: The Battle of Chencang (5)
The fire raged.
Reflecting the red of the entire Kowloon mountain.
Qi Gill and Jiang Cong were surrounded by the mountain fire blowing in the mountains and fields, and they couldn't get out for a while.
"Li Thief, he is really cunning, he regrets not listening to what Cao Shen said, this, how should this be good?" Qi Gill felt a burst of regret in his heart, stealing chickens was not a loss of rice, and now he is not only not stealing chickens, but he is afraid that even his life will be lost.
The Qiang people regard fire as their god and regard the fire god Zhurong as a god to worship, although Jiang Cong is brave, but when he saw the fire in the mountains, he was also frightened and pale.
What about strength, the taste of being burned to death by fire is not pleasant.
The soldiers of Qi, who had not been able to dodge, were burned by the fire, screaming and fleeing in all directions, but they didn't want to, the wind helped the fire, which made the flames on his body more and more vigorous, and what was even more unbearable was that the fire man did not argue about the way, and when he saw his companions beside him, he hurriedly rushed up to ask for help, but the two burned together, crying and shouting.
"Retreat!" Qi Gill shouted urgently. In a hurry, he didn't have time to gather his men and horses, and he didn't have time to care about the life and death of Jiang Cong, who was still in front, so he only fled to the back with more than 100 personal soldiers around him.
Kowloon Pass.
Li Yuan and Meng Hu took 3,000 elite soldiers to go around from his way, guarding here, only waiting for Qi Gill's defeated soldiers to flee back, seeing the fire in the sky from a distance, as well as the screams from Qi soldiers, Meng Hu's face couldn't help but show an excited look.
"General Li, this plan for fire attack has been completed, this time the Qi army, ten stops of men and horses can escape from three stops, even if they escape with their lives, they will lose their armor and be unbearable for a battle." Meng Hu was happy and worried, Li Yuan's subtlety of his plan opened his eyes, and what made Meng Hu even more admired was that Li Yuan couldn't even save face in order to win.
Losing to a brute general, this matter will have a great impact on Li Yuan's reputation. In the era when information based on false rumors was underdeveloped, Li Yuan wanted to defend himself, but there was no way to talk about it.
Unconsciously, Meng Hu began to consider the problem from Li Yuan's standpoint, and he may not have realized this layer of change.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, poor beasts will also do amazing things, Captain Mengdu, you quickly lead the border troops of your headquarters to block the pass, don't let an enemy soldier escape." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, General, for the point." Meng Hu nodded in response.
"Li Junhou, you and others lead the men and horses of the headquarters to fight with the border army, and obey the command of Captain Mengdu." Li Yuan ordered.
"No!" Li Bi took the order and left.
"Bai Junhou, General Cao Tun, you and others lead the headquarters of your own soldiers, follow me, and kill the enemy camp outside Chencang." Li Yuan decided to go all out, not only to let Qi Gill's pursuing troops come and go, but even his remaining troops were swallowed up.
Victory is not far off.
Qi Gill can't be compared with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, this victory is just the bottom of Li Yuan's many records, and he really shouldn't be very happy.
In front of the Kowloon Mountain Pass.
Wang Shang had already ordered his soldiers to block the crossing, and the place where Li Yuan led the army to pass through had only left a narrow gap, but now the gap was blocked, plus the heat of the pile, even if Qi Jun wanted to open the gap, he couldn't.
Jiang Cong had already abandoned the war horse, abandoned the brocade robe, took off everything that made him feel burdensome, and only held the sharp ring-headed knife in his hand, rushing left and right in the chaos of the army, and there were more than 20 soldiers of Qi who died in his hands.
"The thief is leaving, waiting to eat Grandpa Jiang's knife."
Jiang Cong's mouth was still babbling nonsense, and the weakness of excessive force gradually hit his heart, although his eyes were wide, but in front of him was a golden star, and he couldn't see in which direction to escape.
Qi Gill ran first.
This shameless villain didn't want to think about who saved him, and he didn't want to scream.
Jiang Cong's blood surged, and his resentment towards Qi Gill doubled, and his subordinates no longer showed mercy, and those soldiers who were cut down by him for no reason were in a hurry, and they no longer cared about who Jiang Cong was.
For a time, in the narrow valley, under the light of the fire, Qi Jun began to kill each other while fleeing for his life.
Qi Gill's ability to escape for his life does have a foundation.
Just when Jiang Cong was still in the front army, he had already rushed through more than a mile quickly, and came to a short distance from the pass.
"Qi Hou, there are enemy soldiers ahead?" One of the servants screamed.
"Rush over." Qi Gill almost didn't look back, desperately rushed towards the defensive position of the Qin Border Army at the pass, and the Qi soldiers who had finally escaped from the fire gathered together in a chaotic manner.
"Shoot!"
Meng Hu suppressed his excitement and shouted loudly. Li Yuan handed over the great credit of intercepting the deserters of the Qi army to himself, if this cheap thing was still messed up, then he really didn't have to mix in the army.
More than 400 people in the border army were in front, and Li Bijun 1,000 soldiers were behind, including more than 500 crossbowmen.
"Porphyry!"
The arrow entered the flesh, with strong force, so that the Qi soldier who was hit by the arrow roared again and again, and he couldn't pounce on the ground.
"Oops!" Having lost the red jacket and soft armor to resist, a group of naked generals of the Qi army, like ordinary soldiers, became the target of Li Yuanjun's crossbowmen.
Qi Gill was scattered, and under the cover of a group of relatives, he finally killed Menghu's border army, and General Qi at this time had only three or five poor people left around him.
"Cut off the head of the thief and give it to General Li!" Meng Hu glanced at Qi Gill coldly, just like looking at a dead person.
Meng Hu has always looked down on traitors in the army, and the husband, even if he is in a desperate situation, he has to look up and face the enemy and fall, it is unforgivable to lay down his arms and surrender, and he should be killed if he is abusive.
Qi Gill is dead!
Almost naked, he was divided into five horses by four or six border soldiers who rushed up, and each took a piece. Fame and fortune are like dust for a while.
In the narrow valley, Jiang Cong, the brave general of the Qiang tribe, has been burned into a pile of charcoal, and the only thing that can identify him is the long knife with a ring head beside him.
The sword is still the same, and the edge is dazzling.
Just wait for the next owner and let it shine again.
Outside the city of Chencang, the camp of the Qi army, the Wang Ling who stayed behind was being attacked by Li Yuan and Wang Shang at this time, and the fire in Jiulong Mountain made the soldiers of the Wang Ling Army dozens of miles away see it really, and the major general of the Wang Ling soldiers who knew that it was not good was weak, and did not dare to go out of the camp to rescue, and before he could think clearly about what to do next, Li Yuan's army had already been killed.
The one-eyed warrior Cao Xin took the lead, led a team of soldiers to storm the camp, in the battle of Xianyang Leyouyuan, was swept off the horse by Lou Fu, Cao Xin was injured for about two months, but also thanks to the young and strong, fast recovery, and good health, however, one left eye is still not protected, which makes Cao Xin's already violent temperament even more violent.
