Chapter 437: Longtan Duel (II)
It is often said that the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. While watching, the red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong nodded and said, "I won't know these tricks of the fifth brother." ”
Hu'an Mountain Boat Master Wu Baichang Tianqi said with a smile: "If you want to talk about long weapons, I still have half a willow leaf sword for my fifth brother, and I am a whole short of one for my third brother." ”
Fan Yuntong said with a smile: "All kinds of weapons, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, as long as you can achieve the unity of robots and people, you are all masters." The fourth brother's long weapon, he still has to be served. ”
Longwu General Menglong and Longsheng General Mu Mangzi were not as easy as Fan Yuntong and Tutianqi, and secretly prayed that Wucheng would win quickly.
As he spoke, Ban Feng and Wu Cheng fought Lily, Wu Cheng shouted, pretending to rush forward, Ban Feng hurriedly avoided, and his body tilted, but Wu Cheng had not yet moved, saw a gap, rushed forward, and stabbed Ban Feng's chest violently.
Ban Feng choked lightly, and did not let out a cry of pain.
Wucheng shouted, like thunder in the middle of the night, picked Ban Feng up with all his might, and then threw it on the ground, the Chu army was shocked!
Chu general Ban Feng, martial arts, reputation is far above Cheng Du, the main general Qu Rong likes it quite much, but thinks that he is not as calm as Cheng Du, worried that he will sacrifice in a place that should not be sacrificed, so he is not used as a striker, Ban Feng therefore made a little opinion, in the general attack on Batong City, with the first successful climb to the city wall of Batong to prove that he is a rich and veritable striker.
At this time, Qu Rong saw that Ban Feng died in the hands of Wucheng, and was humiliated by Wucheng's corpse, he was furious, angry, and didn't care about what to say.
Wu Cheng knew that the most dangerous person at this time was not someone else, it was himself, Chu Jun couldn't wait to tear himself into shreds, running back while paying attention to whether there were cold arrows coming from the side.
Suddenly, Wu Cheng heard a muffled sound behind him, and almost laughed out loud when he saw the more than a thousand Chu troops rushing to the front, stepping through the skin of the swamp and falling into the mud.
The deepest part of this dark swamp is not overpowered, and the shallowest part is only up to the lower leg of a person, but the Chu army was suddenly trapped, I don't know what terrain is in front of it, some people suddenly thought that it was the pit dug by the Pakistani people in advance, and the Chu army behind also rushed fiercely, and couldn't kill the car for a while, stepped on, and the team was chaotic for a while.
Seeing that the people of Chu had been deceived, the Ba people quickly released a round of random arrows and killed the Chu army from both sides of the swamp in two ways, like a mountain overwhelming the sea.
Soldiers, momentum. The warriors of Ba took advantage of the chaos of the Chu people, rushed to kill the past, and took one as ten, although the Chu army was numerous, it could not resist and retreated.
However, it was said that the 10,000 Chu troops who had not gone into battle were only a few miles away from Longtan, and General Yang Ran received a report: "The two armies are in a big battle. ”
Yang Ran disagreed: "Twenty thousand against ten thousand, more than enough." Did the Pakistani army ambush and kill it?"
"Not yet. ”
"Wait!"
Yang Ran is the great-grandson of King Chu Mu, Yang Que was in the early years of King Chu Ping, and he made contributions to strengthening the Chu-Qin alliance, but later something happened.
After a long time, someone came to report: "Our army can't resist!"
"Has the Pakistani army ambushed the soldiers?"
Deputy General Peng Bin said anxiously: According to the last general, it can be dispatched. ”
Yang Ran seemed to be confident, and said: "If the enemy does not move, I will not move." ”
After a while, someone urgently reported: "Our army has been defeated, General Qu Rong ordered to go to reinforcements quickly!"
Yang Ran was shocked, and hurriedly ordered to be dispatched, rushing to the halfway point, and the defeated army of Chu broke all the way, mixed together, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties.
The Pakistani army chased all the way.
After chasing for less than ten miles, the main general Lu Li ordered: "Don't chase anymore, I'm afraid there will be an ambush." "Lead the army to withdraw to Longtan.
The Chu army retreated for more than 20 miles, and only later did it take until late to collect the defeated army, losing more than 6,000 people.
Qu Rong was ashamed and annoyed, and urgently summoned the generals to anger Yang Ran: "General Yang Ran, why didn't you come to the rescue in time!"
Yang Ran said confidently: "On the order of the general: the Pakistani army will only send troops after the ambush, so they dare not move lightly!"
Qu Rong was furious: "Wine bag rice bucket! You can't act at the opportunity? Come on, drag it out, and show the public!"
The generals knelt down and begged.
General Fei Zheng stepped forward and whispered to Qu Rong: "The talent battle is unfavorable, and it is the joy of the Ba people to behead the general." Besides, this person is Youyin's son and daughter, please think twice!"
Qu Rongyu was still angry, but the relationship between the DPRK and China also had to be scrupulous, and said to Yang Ran: "Look at how much credit you have made all the way, and spare you from dying." When I take Longtan, you lead people to guard Longtan. Longtan is the back road of my grain and grass, and if there is a bad pool, I will not spare it!"
Yang Ran was self-conscious, and his face was full of shame, like a defeated rooster.
Qu Rong also ordered his henchman Han Zhuang to lead the rear army.
The generals were retiring, and Qu Rong suddenly remembered something, and said: "The general who stabbed Ban Feng in front of the battle today is the Wucheng I told you, and his father Wu Zhen was a historian of our country. Last time, Tingziguan was defeated, and it was his deception. When I see this person in the future, I will be captured alive, and I will chop him with my own hands!"
The generals said, "Obey!"
It turned out that in addition to hating Wucheng to death, Qu Rong also had a small abacus in his heart: "That Yongguo Tiger Talisman, seven or eight times out of ten is in Wu Zhen's hands, and he was beaten into the sinkhole, so the Tiger Talisman must be in the hands of his son Wucheng." (Yongguo Tiger Talisman, see Chapter 65 of this book "The Peculiar Tiger Talisman")
Qu Rong actually understood that the tiger talisman did not necessarily have a huge effect in reality, but he wanted a physical object or a living mouth to prove it, and most importantly, he could prove to the king of Chu that he was not lying.
In this battle, the Pakistani army lost only more than 2,000 people, but it was also a considerable loss for the side that was at a clear disadvantage in terms of total strength.
Although the red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong did not take the head of Qu Rong, the chief general of the Chu army, among the ten thousand troops, as he thought in advance, and also stabbed to death the Chu general Cheng Du, two partial generals and I can't remember how many ordinary enemy soldiers, but admitting that Cheng Du and the other three Chu generals added up are far less famous than Ban Feng, who was stabbed to death in Wucheng, and I can't help but feel a little regretful. He also openly admitted that he liked Mu Mangzi more and more.
This battle was called the "Longtan Victory" of the Ba people by later generations, but it is not considered a classic example of winning more with less, because Ba and Chu fought at war, and most of the battles were fought with fewer enemies.
The Pakistani army won a great victory, but the troops were insufficient, withdrew from Longtan, set up ambushes along the way, only a few dozen miles of mountain roads, and the angry and corrupt Chu army still took nearly half a month, and only broke through one by one at a heavy cost, and reached Youcheng.
The Chu army arrived in the area of Zihongtuo, which was not far from Youcheng, and saw that Lu Li, the temporary commander of the Ba army, led the army to camp in Changwugou, and the rest of the Yu clan and the Yu clan were stationed in Yuzhu Mountain, and the whole army of the communist clan and the warriors from other places held the city, forming a three-legged momentum, and did not dare to attack rashly, Qu Rong ordered a three-day rest, and then divided the troops into three ways to besiege, and be sure to take the communist clan in the shortest possible time.
Three days later, the Chu army launched an offensive, and after several battles, Changwugou, Yuzhu Mountain, and Youcheng could not be taken down, and the war came to a stalemate.
The Ba people seem to be getting more and more courageous, and the losses of the Chu army have greatly exceeded the previous plan. The Chu general Qu Rong was anxious in his heart, and ordered to shrink the troops arranged along the way, concentrate on launching a general attack on the Gong's old nest, go to the next city as soon as possible, and ask the king of Chu for more troops.
