Chapter 130: Punching the old master to death

Zhang Kui finally got his wish, became this 'death' official, although the prince called the name of the 'commando captain', but could not change its fundamentals, he selected from the Kryu army 200 people from the 'mountain' good at climbing, good at hand-to-hand combat, brave goose egg race team members formed a commando. However, only more than 150 of these people reached their destination, and the rest were classified as non-combat attrition.

Now the battle on the side of the walled gate is tight, only a few troops are left at the pass to defend, and the rest are all going to reinforce the walled gate, facing the commandos who fell from the sky and were armed with muskets, they were almost powerless to fight back, and they were quickly cleared. Zhang Kui left 100 people to build improvised field fortifications at the bend of the mountain road, and the rest of the people followed him to clean up the storekeepers and receive the hundreds of thousands of stone grain stored there.

"My mother, so much food!" Looking at the mountain-like grain hoards piled up in the valley, the soldiers who followed Zhang Kui couldn't help but exclaim, eight out of ten of them were from farming, and of course they understood what it meant to have so much food.

"I don't know, what are you shouting about, quickly clean up the enemy, sooner or later a fire will be burned out!" Zhang Kui shouted at his subordinates who were still sighing, in fact, when he sneaked in that day, he saw so much food that was no different from them, and he also understood how difficult it was for the prince to decide what to do with these grains.

The Jurchens in the back camp are either looking at the warehouse, or settling accounts, or stevedores and carts, what is the combat effectiveness there, Zhang Kui led the fifty people to clean them up after a while, selected two small grain hoards that were in the wind, and the billowing smoke rose into the air. It's like the wolf smoke burning on the beacon tower, and now everyone knows that the grain and grass are on fire...

"All of them. The back camp is on fire! Just as Wan Yanchang was on guard and waiting for the attack of the Texas army, a small colonel rushed to report.

"What's wrong. Panic what! Seeing that the little school was eight feet away from him, Wan Yan Chang was angry, and opened his mouth to scold, but he didn't want to think that he had just split one indiscriminately, and he hadn't closed his eyes yet!

"Dutong, the Texas army took advantage of our concentration of forces to meet the battle, sent people to attack the rear camp, and set the grain and grass on fire!" The deputy general Ya Mao lay in Wan Yanchang's ear and shouted loudly.

"Fooled!" After Yan Chang heard it clearly this time, he raised his feet and shouted. "Yamao, you immediately lead people to fight back, take back the rear camp, lose the grain and grass, none of us will live!"

"Dutong, the enemy is at present, we can't take care of it, if we seal the kawaguchi, we will concentrate on dealing with the enemy who enters the valley!" How could Yamao not know the stakes. Hurriedly offered advice.

"No, if we seal the valley mouth, once the rear camp can't be recaptured, won't we be trapped and die in this mountain!" Wan Yanchang really did as Zhao Ta thought. Desperate for his life, he immediately rejected Yamao's suggestion.

"Obey, afraid of the dead!" Of course, the first two words were shouted loudly. The last three words are understood by everyone except Wan Yanchang.

Ya Mao ordered 500 soldiers to seize the rear camp, divided into several teams and began to attack along the mountain road. It's not a fun battle. Zhang Kui: They occupy favorable terrain, and the mountain road is so narrow. Two of the ten people in a row had to be squeezed into the ravine. But this bow and arrow is not as good as a musket, not to mention the range power, whether you are standing, lying on your stomach, or lying down, as long as you aim and pull the trigger, and the arrow must straighten up the upper body to pull the bow and release the arrow, within a hundred steps under the musket is a live target, unless he lies on his stomach and does not move!

The result of the counterattack can be imagined, the road that everyone is familiar with has become the road of death at this moment, the corpses are crossed, and the blood is sprinkled all the way, and you can only watch the flames behind the pass get bigger and bigger, but there is no way to go to heaven with the belief of death.

And the two sides of the confrontation in the mountain pass seem to be patient, no one moves, you don't come out, I don't go in! Zhao Ta was calm, but Wan Yanchang was very entangled, he had the heart to support the rear camp, but he was afraid that the front door would not be able to withstand it; I want to kill it in one go, but I'm afraid that the big wood will breathe fire again; can only look at each other with resentful eyes, if the eyes can kill, the Texas army would have turned into ashes a long time ago...

At the same time, Wanyan Xiyin, who came to the aid of Bai Shuiluo, was anxious and not calm at all, and when he led the army to arrive, the camp had become a blank land, and there was no longer the power of the past. But before he could sigh, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly attacked his rear team, and lost more than 300 people by surprise, and by the time he mobilized troops and horses to round up, these attackers had already disappeared.

After expelling the sneak attackers, Wanyan Xiyin sent people to report to the camp in Wonju while searching for the traces of the Texas army. More than 10,000 people and more than 20,000 horses could not leave the slightest trace, and the scouts chased fifty miles to find that the Texas army was heading in the direction of Caoluo. Wanyan Xiyin hurriedly sent two thousand elite horsemen as the vanguard to reinforce Caoluo, and he led the army to respond behind. In less than half a day, the vanguard army had people flying horses to ask for help, they were ambushed on the way, surrounded by the Texas army, their firearms were sharp, and the losses were heavy, if they were finished, they were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out.

Wanyan Xiyin was shocked, according to their experience in fighting with the Khitans, a thousand Jurchens could defeat 10,000 Khitans, and they could surround them with 2,000 elite horsemen and cause them heavy casualties, indicating that the Khitans were no less than 20,000. He can only personally lead a team of 10,000 people to the rescue, leaving the rear team to chase after him, according to the experience of the past, this can't be wrong, isn't there a saying that 'the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible'?

But when Yan Xiyin rushed to the place where the vanguard army was attacked, it was not bad, more than half of the more than 2,000 people were left, and the attackers slipped with oil on the soles of their feet, and the two armies continued to march towards Caoluo in one place, and marched until evening, but the rear army did not catch up. After Yan Xiyin thought about it for a while, he felt that it was not good, the rear army must be in trouble, and hurriedly sent a detachment of 2,000 people to meet it.

Just after the second day, the rear army finally arrived, and Wanyan Xiyin immediately called the main general to ask about the matter. This question didn't matter, and he was in a cold sweat again. After they left, the rear army could also set out, but they gradually distanced themselves from the front army with their baggage, and by the afternoon there was a gap of fifty miles between the two armies, when they found that the Texas army was surrounding them, and seeing that the banner was not less than 10,000 men, they hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy.

When the Texans found out that they were prepared, they did not launch an attack but watched from afar, sending a small number of rangers to test them from time to time, trying to find their flaws. After being attacked again and again, the commander of the rear army also had a long heart, and the army did not move, and only sent a small group of elite cavalry to fight with the Texas rangers, and the army did not move, not giving the other party a chance to sneak attack.

This little game was played until dark, and the Texas army gradually disappeared, and the commander of the army was worried about encountering ghosts on the night road, so he decided to camp on the spot and wait for dawn. This night, the Texas army also sent a small team of men and horses to attack, but they could not hold out, and shot them back with random arrows, and they set out to chase after it was dark, and they did not encounter the Texas army on the road, let alone the men and horses who met them.

"Dutong, are we sending troops to look for them, they may be lost?" After seeing Yan Xiyin's face change, the commander of the rear army, Khan Bali, said cautiously when he was worried about the safety of the detachment.

"No need, they must have been poisoned by the Texas army, we will set off immediately, and the army will be held together and will not be divided again!" Wanyan Xiyin shook his head lightly and said, he already understood that the target of the Texas Army was not the rear army, because they were so numerous that they couldn't eat at all, but the real target was the reinforcements they sent.

"Yes, Totong!" Khan Bali bowed down to receive the order, but he clearly saw that Du Tong's eyes were red and tears hung in the corners of his eyes, this was the first time he had seen Du Tong so sad.

"The whole army marched in formation, without separation, and hurried to Caoluo!" Wanyan Xiyin said in a deep voice, he is known as a Confucian general, and before he arrived in the place to lead the army, he lost nearly thirty percent, and he has never suffered such a loss, and he has also begun to re-examine this rookie who has sprung up.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Xiyin had to admit that the Texas Army had become a strong force that the Jurchens could not be underestimated, they defeated Yan Xianye first, and slashed Yan Hanlu fiercely. He also sent troops to aid Yuanzhou, not only after beating Yan Loumur, a Jurchen general who often wins, lost his temper, and took the life of his eldest son, but also forced the emperor to conquer Yuanzhou in person. They took advantage of the emptiness of the camp to sneak attack and succeeded, and frightened the slaves of the Yan Pu family to go crazy, and they were already abolished. And he was also played around by them, and before he could see it, he was wiped out 4,000 soldiers and horses.

"It's not good, it's dangerous!" The more Wanyan Xiyin thought about it, the more wrong it became, the Texas army seemed to be a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, attacking everywhere and fighting at will, as if there was no rule at all, but stringing these events together, it was a step-by-step calculation, recruiting hidden killing opportunities, they attacked the camp It seemed to be picking up cheap, but in fact, it was just to cover up the smoke of their attack on Caoluo, and their purpose in seizing Caoluo was self-evident, that is, to cut off their grain and grass, force them to withdraw their troops, and make their relatives die under the city of Yuanzhou. And they keep harassing themselves, just to buy time for them to seize the grass.

"It doesn't seem to be too late, the Texas army hasn't captured Huluchuan yet!" Wanyan Xiyin figured out the joints, and immediately urged the army to speed up and gallop to Caoluo, all the way to Caoluo without stopping for sixty miles, and he could hear bursts of explosions in the valley from a distance, smelling the smell of burnt paste wafting in the wind, and the two sides were still fighting fiercely, which made him feel a little relieved, and urgently ordered the army to enter the valley.

Wanyan Xiyin personally led the vanguard army into the valley and led the army to rush, and the rearguard troops of the Texas Army desperately blocked it, but Wanyan Xiyin, who was difficult to defeat and did not want to die, could only withdraw from the battle and retreat into the mountains. When he entered the Hulu River, his eyes were full of devastation, and the once beautiful river valley had become a hell on earth, with burning flames everywhere, corpses all over the ground, and thick smoke covering the valley.

Wanyan Xiyin hoped to extinguish the fire and grab the stored grain, so he led the troops straight in, and walked to the mountain pass, only to see Wan Yanchang's head hanging on a high pole at the intersection, hanging down a long banner, and writing a few big words: "Wanyan Xiyin, you are late!" ”。 (To be continued.) )
