Chapter 694: Autumn Wind Sweeps Away Fallen Leaves (2)
At three o'clock in the morning, the sun is already slanting in the west, but it is still early before it gets dark, although the heat of midsummer has subsided, but the temperature is still surprisingly high, the palace guards don't care, after all, they are all the elite of the elite, willpower and endurance are outstanding, even if they sweat, they will not have much complaints about it, and even their mental state has not been affected too much, but Wang Liangen is not so calm, he is just an ordinary civil official, although he also knows a little equestrianism, but it is just a superficial kung fu, Being able to barely sit on horseback on a rugged mountain road is already considered to be doing its best, but as for the manners and things, it is completely indifferent, covered with dust, and then washed by the sweat that flows wildly, the whole face is black and white, if you want to say that there are many wolves, there are many wolves.
"Lord Wang."
After nearly two hours of marching, Wang Liangen was already tired and dizzy, and he didn't notice that his marching team had stopped at some point, until Cao Ning, who was dressed in a royal suit and disguised as Hongqing, greeted him, and he raised his head blankly.
"General Cao, ...... you are"
Wang Liangen is a pampered master, he has never suffered such hardships in his life, he is extremely tired, and he has long forgotten all the serious things.
"Lord Wang, the hour is approaching, please give the order to return to the teacher."
Just looking at Wang Liangen's dazed look, Cao Ning knew that Wang Liangen was tired and confused, and secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, but respectfully bowed his hand and reminded him concisely.
"Ah, good, withdraw, withdraw!"
Being reminded by Cao Ning like this, Wang Liangen remembered Hongqing's explanation before leaving, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he hurriedly raised his hand, shouted a loud order, and then saw that the whole team turned their heads together and hurried away along the way they came.
"What's going on? Actually withdrawn? ”
"Oh no, release the pigeons!"
"Quick, signal!"
……
As soon as Wang Liangen led the army to retreat, several White Lotus Sect bandits who were looking out on the top of the mountain not far away suddenly became a mess, and after shouting for a while, they saw several carrier pigeons fluttering and flying up from the mountains and forests one after another, and flying away in the northwest and southeast directions......
"Report, Master Ku, Jingle urgent letter!"
Ten miles northwest of Taiyuan City, in an unknown hill, hundreds of military tents stand by the mountain, in the big tent of the Chinese army, just rushed from Taiyuan City to the barracks of the Shanxi Domain, the treasury seat and Lu Dingsheng are having a ride, not a pair of idle, suddenly saw a Goshha hurriedly marched into the big tent, a standard thousand, a small brass pipe high above the head.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard that it was Jingle's urgent letter, Ku Xi couldn't help but be stunned, sat up straight, copied the small copper pipe in the hand of the goshha, hurriedly unscrewed the hidden button on it, poured out the roll of paper from the inside, spread it out, and when he saw it, his face was instantly pale.
"What's wrong?"
The trap in Jingle County was arranged by Lu Dingsheng, and a lot of secret posts were set up everywhere along the way, in order to monitor the movements of Hongqing's department, and there were also a few carrier pigeons before the arrival, and the news brought showed that everything was normal, Lu Dingsheng thought that this design was no longer very bad, but at this time, when he saw Kuxi's face was so ugly, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked a question.
"That bastard kid suddenly withdrew, damn it, how could this be?"
Kuxi impatiently slapped the secret letter on the few people beside him, and scolded angrily.
"It's not good, you can't let that kid slip away like this, Master Ku, hurry up and send troops!"
Hearing Ku Xi's words, Lu Dingsheng was in a hurry, picked up the secret letter, glanced at it quickly, and hurriedly hurried.
"Hmmm......"
In addition to the garrison battalions of Xinzhou and Baode that have been transferred to Jingle County to cooperate with the White Lotus Sect bandits in Jingle County, there are still 2,000 soldiers and horses in Xizhou and Daizhou in the camp, and there are a lot of troops, but when it comes to combat power, it is just average, originally it was only used to block the back road of Hongqing's department, if it is to use it to fight head-on with Hongqing's department, Kuxi is really difficult to be sure, and he can't help but hesitate.
"Master Ku, without further ado, if you let that little child slip away, there will be endless troubles, or else, the lord will lead the army to intercept it, and the poor road will rush back to the city, and ask General Kui to send reinforcements immediately, and destroy that guy in a battle!"
Seeing Ku Xi's hesitation, Lu Dingsheng's mind immediately came alive, and he hurriedly spoke again.
"Well, that's it, then it's decided, the Taoist chief will go back quickly, and the official will raise troops to stop that little child!"
Ku Xi frowned and paced back and forth in the big tent for a long time, and there was no better way to think of it, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to Lu Dingsheng's construction.
"Master Ku, don't worry, the poor road is one step ahead, and he will bring the army to help!"
Hearing that Kuxi agreed to his own proposal, Lu Dingsheng didn't want to delay any longer, and impassionedly dropped a sentence, so he hurried out of the Chinese army's tent, led a war horse, turned over on horseback, and rushed out of the barracks in a puff of smoke, seemingly rushing in the direction of Taiyuan City, but in fact, as soon as he rushed out of the range of sight of the barracks lookout, Lu Dingsheng turned around, and fled in the direction of Xizhou without looking back. There must be something strange in it, although Lu Dingsheng can't see what the problem is for a while, but his intuition is that the general trend is not good, he doesn't plan to be martyred for Kuxi and others, he will flee as far as he can, as for the life and death of others, Lu Dingsheng can't care so much.
"Quick, speed up, keep up!"
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, not to mention that Lu Dingsheng faked the name of the troops, and escaped, but said that after Kuxi hurriedly reorganized the soldiers and horses, he immediately drove the army straight to the direction of Jingle County, and the two pillars of incense had rushed out of the mountains in less time, and ran wildly along the avenue all the way to the mountain road into Jingle County, intending to block the valley mouth before Hongqing's department went out of the mountain, and came to close the door and beat the dogs.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
Kuxi's idea is undoubtedly very beautiful, if it can be realized, with the advantage of geographical advantages, maybe it can really be done, but unfortunately, the reality is cruel, just when he led his troops from a mountain bay to turn out, but heard a terrible horn sound, a Biao army horse has rushed from the direction of Taiyuan City.
"Array, array!"
Seeing that the army galloping in the distance was playing the banner of the Shanxi Banner Battalion, Ku Xi's heart was first relieved, and then it was tight, and there was no side, just because he suddenly thought that Lu Dingsheng had just left not long ago, even if he flew, it was impossible to fly to Taiyuan City in such a short time, let alone transfer troops to help, there is no doubt that this group of military horses is definitely not good, as soon as he thought of this, Ku Xi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly roared.
"Damn, how can this be?"
Kuxi's troops and horses are all soldiers of the garrison battalion, and they are responsible for garrisoning and law and order on weekdays, and they are really not familiar with the way of field warfare, and the defensive formation they have lined up is inevitably loose and loose, and it is difficult to call it stable, but in any case, the formation was laid out in time, and at this time, the galloping army has also rushed to the front, Kuxi fixed his eyes, and immediately saw that the horse rushing at the forefront of the army was the prince of Qincha Hongqing, and his heart suddenly struck wildly, He muttered with a pale face.
"Stop, line-up!"
Kuxi was not mistaken, it was Hongqing who rushed to the army, this time seeing that the enemy army in front had discharged the defensive formation, Hongqing did not directly lead the army to charge the formation, but at a distance of about two hundred steps from the enemy formation, restrained the soldiers and horses, after an order, a thousand iron horsemen had quickly lined up three phalanxes, but when they saw the wind rising, the banner was rolling, and the evil spirit rose to the sky like a rainbow.
"How can it be the flag camp?"
"It's weird, what's wrong with the flag camp?"
"Didn't you say that this mission is to suppress bandits, so what is the flag camp doing here?"
……
The officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion of the Kuxi Department had never seen Hongqing, and no one knew the severity of the shape, but the murderous aura that erupted from the head of the flag camp was felt by everyone.
"You have listened well, this Wang Hongqing is here, and he is ordered to arrest the rebel and anti-thief treasury seat, and you will wait for Hugh to help the thief to abuse, and those who capture the anti-thief treasury seat will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, if you dare to rebel, the crime should be copied and beheaded!"
Hongqing's attack only brought a thousand cavalry, in terms of troops, although only half of the Treasury Department, but in terms of combat effectiveness, but far superior to the other party, really want to fight, sweeping is a sure thing, but Hongqing is not in a hurry to attack, there is no other, once the war starts, their own losses are not to worry, but the officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion on the opposite side have no way to live, even if they are lucky to survive on the battlefield, it is difficult to escape a major crime of rebellion, the end is not only their own beheading, but also have to implicate the nine clans, so that, The dead are gone, and this is obviously not something that Hongqing is happy to see, because of this, even if the victory is already in hand, Hongqing still rode his horse forward dozens of steps, and shouted with full luck.
"What? That's King Ingun? What's going on? ”
"Rebellion? Really? ”
"It's not good, this battle can't be fought, this fight, won't I become a rebel?"
……
As soon as Hongqing shouted like this, the officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion who were already whispering suddenly became a big chaos, and then they were chaotic, but the formation was still there, but it never collapsed, of course, the morale of the army was almost gone......
