Chapter 49: The Hollow Grave

Wang Sheng slapped Wen Han's head: "This kid, I haven't seen you for a few days, you dare to despise the combat effectiveness of your captain like this, what about one arm, believe it or not, I hit you all over the ground with one hand?" ”

Wen Han's neck shrank: "Yes, yes, I know that Lord Lieutenant, you are brave and invincible, and I can't catch up with Wen Han, but after all, aren't you injured, isn't it normal for me to care about my boss as a subordinate." ”

Wang Sheng ignored Wen Han's insincere sycophant, and said proudly: "You don't have to worry, it's just a broken arm, not a broken leg, I've been treated in Chuanwu in the past few days, and the broken arm doesn't hurt so much, it's okay to charge immediately, I won't drag everyone's hind legs, take a step back and say, even if I die in battle, it is also a soldier's duty, isn't it a normal thing for a soldier's horse leather shroud?" ”

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "Wen Han, don't worry, my injury is not a big deal, I have already pricked Chuan Wu a few times before I came, suppressed the injury, and the battle in a small area is still possible, now what we lack most is time, you are most familiar with the surrounding terrain, I agree with your proposal." ”

After speaking, Qin Zhen asked Meng Xuan, "What is your opinion on Deputy Meng's team?" ”

Meng Xuan said: "Now all the energy of the party and the army is in the hollow grave, the defense behind them must be weak, we quietly approached, suddenly launched an attack, in the dark they can not figure out our reality, as long as they rush into the hollow tomb, with the help of the complex terrain inside, we can get rid of them at any time, you are right, what we lack most now is time, this risk is worth taking." ”

Several people's opinions were agreed, and both Qin Zhen and Wang Sheng handed over the command to Meng Xuan.

Meng Xuan asked Xue Yuan and Wen Han to explore the way in front, ordered everyone to dismount, and quietly touched the gap on the west side of the hollow tomb.

There was still a distance of about two hundred meters from the Dang Xiang Army, and Meng Xuan signaled everyone to stop advancing in case they were discovered by the Dang Xiang Army, and waited for Wen Han Xue Yuan's investigation results.

After a while, Xue Yuan and Wen Han came back, Wen Han reported: "We touched the position of a hundred meters behind the party army, and we didn't dare to go any further, the party army has sealed the gap in the entire hollow tomb, it seems that there is only one way to break through, but it seems that their rear army looks more chaotic, it seems that the team that was assembled later did not form a unified leadership, which just gave us an opportunity." ”

Meng Xuan ordered in a low voice: "Get on the horse!" ”

More than thirty people turned over and got on their horses, only the sound of rustling came from the darkness, and it looked a little dull in the dark, Qin Zhen felt that if he was a hundred meters away, he would not be able to hear a trace of sound here.

"Rush!" With the faint starlight, Meng Xuan rushed out first, and everyone followed closely.

Because on the way here, all the horses had been wrapped in cotton cloth, so even if more than 30 war horses galloped, there was no particularly big movement, and Meng Xuan and the others rushed towards the party army like ghosts in the dark.

Since the attention of all the party troops was focused on the hollow grave in front of them, it was not until Meng Xuan rushed to a hundred meters behind them that they suddenly noticed the movement behind them, but it was too late, and a hundred meters was only a few blinks of an eye for the cavalry who had already rushed up.

"Kill!" Meng Xuan pulled out the horizontal knife on his body.

"Poof!" Behind Meng Xuan, Qin Zhen and the others also drew their horizontal knives, glowing with a faint cold light in the night.

The party cavalry in the last row only had time to turn around, and Meng Xuan, who was at the position of this arrow, had already been killed, swinging his horizontal sword, and blood was rushing, but all this was hidden in the night, no one could see it, only heard a scream.

Because the party army is all assembled by various squads, the structure is relatively chaotic, and a unified military order has not yet been formed, so when the rear army is in chaos, the party army does not form a quick and effective response, and the panic of one point causes panic after another, and the panic of one piece causes panic in the whole party army.

When Qin Zhen and the others were fighting with the party army in the gap on the west side of the hollow tomb, Guo Wei had already come to the place where Wen Han said about the secret path of the hollow tomb.

As Wen Han guessed, Guo Wei deliberately entered the hollow grave in order to get rid of the party pursuers behind him.

When Guo Wei left Hulukou, they took advantage of the fact that the party army had not yet reacted, found a few party teams that robbed the villagers and eliminated them, but they were soon discovered by a party and a pursuit team, and the pursuit team sent people to contact the other two teams, and after the two teams converged, they found that they could not contact Li Jiyuan's team.

At this time, they were basically sure that Li Jiyuan had been annihilated by the Weizhou army that went out of the city, although they didn't know the specific details, but they could probably guess that they had fallen into the calculation of the Weizhou army, and they were shocked and added twelve points of caution at the same time, and the two teams combined into a team to pursue Guo Wei, and sent people to spread the news of the Weizhou army to the surrounding looting party troops.

Although the Weizhou army led by Guo Wei is familiar with the surrounding terrain, there is no shortage of tracking masters in the party army, and the party army scattered around also knows the information of Guo Wei's team, they chase and intercept from the periphery, after several raids and encounters, the party army has more and more pursuing troops, and the closer to Guo Wei's original, the living space of the Weizhou army is extremely compressed.

Guo Wei didn't have any choice but to take the team around the mountains, and Guo Wei was more pleased that there were more and more people chasing him, so the party troops who robbed the villagers around would be reduced accordingly, and it could be regarded as a chance for the surrounding villagers to survive.

When he came to the vicinity of the hollow tomb, one of Dong Cheng's soldiers reported to Dong Cheng that there was a secret trail between Qingliang Mountain in the north of the hollow tomb and hoe mountain in the east.

Guo Wei asked the soldier in detail about the terrain of the hollow tomb, and began to take the initiative around the hollow tomb, attracting a large number of party troops to gather to besiege him, and then took advantage of the dark night to drill into the hollow tomb, because the party and the army were chasing around the hollow tomb during the day, so they also had a general understanding of the depression tomb, so when Guo Wei entered the depression tomb, the party army did not follow in, but concentrated their forces to plug the gap, and sent a team of scouts into the depression tomb to investigate Guo Wei's whereabouts.

After entering the hollow tomb, Guo Weibing divided into two roads, leaving a small part to block the party in the hollow tomb, and most of them came to the northeast corner of the dark night, preparing to use this path to leave.

At this moment, the riots and shouts of killing in the western gap attracted Guo Wei's attention, Guo Wei was stunned at first, all the combat power outside Weizhou City is now here, how can there be a battle in the western gap, could it be that Tang Tianhe sent people out of the city to meet him? Guo Wei shook his head, and when he was leaving, he ordered Tang Tianhe to hold on to Weizhou City no matter what, with Tang Tianhe's character, it was impossible to disobey his orders, unless Weizhou City had been breached.

Thinking of this, Guo Wei's heart tightened, but he was immediately vetoed by himself, there are only five hundred party troops outside the city of Weizhou, if it is a field battle outside the city, the Weizhou army is by no means an opponent, but according to the solid and thick city wall, in the case of eight hundred Weizhou troops in the city, Guo Wei believes that Tang Tianhe will be able to hold it.

Since it is not Tang Tianhe, who else can there be outside Weizhou City except himself? Immediately, Guo Wei's eyes lit up, and now the combat power outside Weizhou City, in addition to the one hundred and fifty cavalry he brought out, there is also a cavalry team taken away by Wang Sheng, could it be that Wang Sheng is here?

Guo Wei didn't think of Wang Sheng at first, it was entirely because in Guo Wei's subconscious, Wang Sheng should have donated his life, a team of fifty people, to block the party army of almost 2,000 people, and buy time for the people of Tong'an Town to enter Weizhou City, although he learned from Zhao Feilong's mouth that there was information brought by the Han people who escaped from the party army, as well as the so-called "guerrilla warfare", Guo Wei also praised again and again when he heard Zhao Feilong's general explanation of "guerrilla warfare", but he knew that in the face of absolute strength, These alone are not enough; Since the Dangxiang army is here, Wang Sheng and his cavalry team must have perished.

So when Guo Wei guessed that it might be Wang Sheng who was fighting in the west, Guo Wei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked Dong Cheng to continue to lead people into the secret path, and he took Wang Zhu to the gap in the west to wait for the opportunity.

As Meng Xuan said, the party members put all their attention on the hollow tomb, who would have thought that a team would be killed from behind in the dark night, and for a while they couldn't figure out how many people came, and different commanders also had their own thoughts, some led people to intercept desperately, some celebrities quietly retreated, preserved their strength, and some avoided the edge and prepared to attack from the flank.

The party army was not well prepared, until Meng Xuan and others rushed to the back of the team to turn around and rush to the battle, and the military order was chaotic, resulting in extreme incoordination and chaos, this kind of incoordination and chaos for Meng Xuan is a gap, he took more than 30 people behind him, and went to the combination of the various teams of the party and the army to fight.

This is like a child and a strong man fighting, the knife in the child's hand stabbed the strong man's waist, the strong man only found that he was stabbed, but at this time it was dark, the strong man could not see anything, at the same time his head was not very good at this time, the reaction was extremely slow, resulting in extremely uncoordinated limbs, resulting in although he was strong, one hand can pinch the child to death, but because he is too slow to react, every time he reaches out to the past, the child is always easily dodged, and it is dark and nothing can be seen, he does not know how the child should knife him, At this time, although the child is weak and cannot do much harm to the strong man, the strong man is also helpless against the child in a short period of time.

Qin Zhen followed not far behind Meng Xuan, watching Meng Xuan lead the team like a smart fish, sliding left and right in the party army, Qin Zhen admired Meng Xuan more and more in his heart, if it was about the cavalry charge and the grasp of the rhythm of the battle, among all the people Qin Zhen knew now, no one could compare with Meng Xuan, even Wang Sheng, who had led the army for twenty or thirty years, was a little overshadowed.

Qin Zhen observed Meng Xuan's fighting style while observing the movements of the party army, brought himself into Meng Xuan's position, and secretly learned by himself.
