Chapter 21: A Great Victory
Hu Deliang hurriedly made a gesture and said, "What does General Geshu mean by this, no matter how big I do, do I dare not discuss with the general?"
Geshu Wuji laughed and said, "General Hu doesn't have to worry about it, but General Ben is just joking with you!"
Then he said, "I heard that your student gave you something outside today, can you take it out and take a look?"
Hu Deliang said with a straight face: "Don't be joking, general, this is my personal belongings, but a letter sent to me by my close friend for many years from afar, how can I show it to you?"
Geshu Wuji stood up, glared at Hu Deliang and said: "There are no personal trivial matters on the battlefield, only major military affairs, General Hu should not embarrass General Ben!"
In fact, Hu Deliang had already read the letter, and it was indeed an ordinary letter sent by his old friend Li Yunqi, and there was no need to withhold it from being seen, but this feeling of persecution was really uncomfortable. While hesitating, he saw that Geshu Wuji stretched out his hands, had already clasped the meridians on Hu Deliang's hands, stretched them into Hu Deliang's arms and groped them carefully, and then took out the letter.
Geshu Wuji looked at it for a while, but he didn't feel anything. But he immediately felt that something was wrong, and said, "General Hu, why did you smear a good letter here?"
It turned out that every few lines of the letter were heavily scribbled, and even the signature was blackened in a few places. Hu Deliang said: "I think my old friend is in a hurry to bring the letter. ”
Geshu Wuji said: "General Hu, the military rations in the Japanese army are really short in the past few days, but how can you be treacherous and do such a thing behind my back?" Hu Deliang was speechless and very cramped.
After showing the letter to the generals, Goshu Wuji announced in public: "Hu Deliang fornicated with the enemy and should be beheaded according to the law." Gu remembered his merits, temporarily detained, everyone has something to say!"
The generals on Hu Deliang's side knew that Geshu Wuji had the courage of ten thousand people, so they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and remained silent. Goshu Wuji ordered Hu Deliang to be locked up and put in a military prison. Then he turned around and returned to his barracks.
An hour later, the spy shadow gate had already transmitted the news to Qinyang City, and Liu Jinnan summoned Liu Chenghao and Liu Chengzhi to discuss the next move. The three of them gathered together for half an hour, and then Liu Chenghao walked out of the room with the spy card.
That night, outside the military prison of the Geshu army, a dark shadow swept by. The guards were about to speak, but they immediately fell. After the black shadow searched for the cage key, he walked up to Hu Deliang and said softly, "My lord, I'm here to save you!"
Hu Deliang looked at the person who came and whispered, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
Come to the human: "Don't worry, the little one will save you first." Then he took out the key and unlocked it for Hu Deliang. The two then swept out of the prison.
Hu Deliang gratefully said to the visitor: "Brother, please leave your high surname and name, and you will be rewarded in the future." ”
"The villain is just a little soldier who admires adults. Geshu Wuji's martial arts are world-famous, today's matter, the villain doesn't dare to stay here anymore, say goodbye!"
Hu Deliang pondered left and right, and secretly came to his confidant Lin Yueran. At this time, Lin Yueran had not rested, and when he saw Hu Deliang, he was taken aback and said, "My lord, why are you here?"
Hu Deliang said: "Brother Shu Wuji deceived me too much! I wonder if my brothers still listen to my orders?"
Lin Yueran said: "The adults are kind, how dare the little ones forget, it's just that Brother Shu Wuji's martial arts are world-famous, and we don't dare to clash with them head-on in the daytime." Many brothers came to me to talk about it, but they all gritted their teeth and just dispersed!"
Hu Deliang said: "This is very good, you quickly call them over, we will do a big deal tonight!"
An hour later, Hu Deliang's subordinates took advantage of the darkness of night to quietly assemble together.
Although the troops led by Geshu Wuji and Hu Deliang had long been united, their respective command systems were still independent, and there was a clear division between the two barracks.
Hu Deliang knew very well that the longbow soldiers in the Goshu army were extremely sharp, and the Goshu Buji had the courage of ten thousand people, and his own strength was not superior.
Therefore, he only dared to act quietly in the middle of the night, first deal with the longbowmen of the Geshu army, and then make further plans.
The longbowmen of the Goshu army were elite for both armies, so they were very well protected, and they were located in the middle and rear of the whole army, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Goshu army, just southwest of Hu Deliang's headquarters.
Hu Delian gathered all his cavalry to the southwest, each soldier with a stick on his mouth and a ring on his horse's mouth to prevent a sound, and rushed towards the camp of the longbowmen. At the same time, a fire was set in the camp tent of the Geshu army. Poor and brave longbowmen, many of whom were slain without even taking their weapons.
At this time, Geshu Wuji was drinking with his adjutant, and he heard the noise outside the camp, so he hurriedly looked outside, but because of a few more drinks, it was difficult for the south, south, and northwest to distinguish how to fight, so he hurriedly led the nearby troops and retreated to the outside of the camp.
Hu Deliang was able to kill, led the troops straight to the camp of the Chinese army, and when he saw that there was no one in the camp, he chased in the direction of Goshu Wuji's escape.
At this time, Geshu Wuji held a long sword with his hand, killed several deserters, and stabilized his position. When I looked up, I found that Hu Deliang was coming over with a sword, and I understood everything at once, and a nameless fire arose in my heart.
Geshu Wuji jumped to the camp in front of him, swept away the two flying arrows, his long sword went down, and his body rushed straight towards Hu Deliang on his horse like an arrow.
Hu Deliang didn't dare to be careless, rolled down, and hid in the shields of the soldiers around him. Bukit didn't wait for the old move, put away his long sword, and kicked his legs on the shield like lightning, and several soldiers were kicked out ten meters away.
At this time, Hu Deliang had no choice but to stab the sword in his hand at Goshu Buji, and Buji's body was on one side, dodging the sword, and the long sword in his hand swung through.
At this time, Hu Deliang's pikemen rushed over and stabbed their weapons at Bukit, and Goshu Buji reflexively returned to his own ranks, but he was unscathed.
At the same time, Hu Deliang screamed and covered his left eye, it turned out that Bukit's long sword had already swung past his left eye, and one eye was afraid that it would be useless.
Hu Delian did not dare to make a mistake again, and led the troops to begin to retreat. At this time, Goshu Wuji took the opportunity to gather his headquarters and began to counterattack. The two sides attacked and defended, and fought happily.
The next morning, Goshu Buji finally defeated Hu Deliang's troops, and Hu Deliang and his lieutenant Wang Yueran were all killed.
And the Geshu army was also hit hard. Since Hu Delian focused on attacking the longbowmen, only 8,000 of the 50,000 longbowmen remained, and the rest of the forces were only 100,000.
At this time, the Great Jin Army in Qinyang City, under the leadership of Liu Chenghao and Liu Chengzhi, launched a general attack on the Geshu army. After a night of hard fighting, the combat effectiveness of the Geshu army was greatly reduced, and Geshu Wuji knew that he was invincible, so he led his 20,000 cavalry to flee the battlefield quickly.
The Great Jin army laid siege to the infantry and longbowmen who remained in the camp, and after two hours of fighting, the Great Jin army successfully captured the camp and captured 100,000 Geshu troops.
At this time, Liu Chengzhi rode his horse in front of his eldest brother Liu Chenghao, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and said: "Big brother, this time it's really a big victory!"
Liu Chenghao laughed and said, "Second brother, you should be the first to take the lead this time!"
Liu Chengzhi said: "Big brother, now is not the time to reward meritorious deeds, I want to pursue the remnants of Geshu and get rid of the big trouble in one fell swoop." ”
Liu Chenghao had already looked at this younger brother differently at this time, and said: "Okay, the second brother must be careful, although he is already a remnant soldier, Brother Shu Wuji is a hard stubble! I will let Xiang Wuji go with you, and give you another 100,000 troops, when you meet Wuji, remember to cast our three people into a tiger formation!"
Liu Chengzhi's heart warmed, and he said, "Thank you big brother for your advice!" So without delay, he led the 100,000 Great Jin Army with Xiang Wuji to march forward quickly.
Liu Chenghao sent his lieutenant general to clean up the mess, and he immediately went into the city to report the battle situation to his father.
In Qinyang City, Liu Jinnan heard about the battle situation, and his heart was ecstatic, and his illness seemed to be half better. Not only was he glad that he had won the battle, but he was even more pleased that his second son had done the same. Then he asked, "Cheng Hao, why didn't the second child come back?"
Liu Chenghao smiled slightly and said, "Daddy, the second brother has gone to chase after Brother Shu's remnant army, and now the second brother is really out of luck!"
When Liu Jinnan heard this, he was taken aback and said, "What? Why didn't you stop him?"
Liu Chenghao was taken aback and said, "Daddy, the remnants of Geshu's army are already at the end of the crossbow, and the second brother is good at using soldiers, why not pursue?"
Liu Jinnan's tears were about to fall, and he said: "Brother Shu Wuji is proficient in the art of war, after the defeat, how can you not guard against the pursuing soldiers! Cheng Hao, you quickly lead the troops to chase, you must rescue your brother!"
