Chapter 434 - The Trap of the Fallen Valley
Zhou Min looked at the prince and the ten thousand heavenly cloud guards who were gradually disappearing into the night, he was experienced in a hundred battles, no matter what kind of battle he was in front of, his heart was like water, but today's heart jumped suddenly for no reason.
With this apprehension, he returned to Luzhou City, until the middle of the night, Zhou Min ordered his cavalry, three watches to make food, and prepare to act according to the plan, suddenly remembered that before the soldiers went out of Jianglin, Xiao Junshi had found himself in private, and forced himself to accompany him to drink wine for half a night, until he was half drunk, and then took out a small bag and stuffed it to himself.
"Brother Zhou is fighting for the first life, when he goes south to fight against Tang like this, when he hesitates, he can open this bag." Thinking of the words of the military advisor in his ears, Zhou Min came back to his senses, and hurriedly stroked his armor to find the bag that had been kept close to him.
"Yes, today's battle, changed into close-fitting clothes... Someone, someone!" After finding nothing, Zhou Min remembered that he had changed his underwear today, and he didn't care about calling his own soldiers, so he hurriedly walked forward, and the soldiers beside him had never seen the general so flustered, and they all looked sideways.
Zhou Min's personal soldiers naturally knew that their generals had the habit of changing new clothes every time there was a big war, so when they learned that there would be a big war today, they had already served the general to change out of their personal clothes in the past few days and send them to be cleaned, and this time they were returning to the army to prepare for war in accordance with the military order.
The general's own soldiers, turned their heads and saw the general's eager expression, and before he knew what major military situation had happened, he saw the general walking in front of him in three steps and two steps, and pushed himself away, and asked in a loud voice to the soldier who was doing laundry, "Where are Lao Tzu's clothes?"
A group of soldiers were frightened by the general's expression, and they all stopped what they were doing, and one of the young soldiers, carrying the clothes in his hands, slowly got up, and said with a little timidity: "Huh... General, here I am..."
didn't have time to explain much, Zhou Min snatched the clothes, and finally found the soaked bag in the water-stained underwear.
Unwrapping the bag, taking out the soaked secret letter from it, and retreating from the soldiers, Zhou Min frowned and unfolded, and saw the fly's head on the secret letter, most of which were blurred, and could only vaguely see a few words.
Zhou Min frowned, looked at a few vaguely legible handwritings, and was gradually shocked, remembering the look of the military advisor on the wine table on the eve of the army, could it be that the military advisor had reached today's point at that time.
「... Shizi... Meritorious service, you can only sit in the Chinese army, don't... On the march... General Zhou is going... Avoid... Such as..."Reading this, Zhou Min was already surprised.
"Someone, send the scout!"
didn't wait for the scouts, but a bloodied soldier came quickly with the support of the two, and without waiting for Zhou Min to speak, he first reported the front army: "General Yu, the 10,000 Tianyunwei led by the prince has encountered the vanguard of the Tang army, and the prince is brave and kills the general Pan Jun, but..."
Zhou Min was shocked, picked up the soldier and shouted, "But what, don't talk nonsense, how is the son now?"
"His Royal Highness, after killing the enemy general, he commanded the pursuit of the enemy army and went deep into the valley, but unexpectedly, there were already ambushes in the valley, and the prince was trapped in the valley, and he was killed left and right, and he was not allowed to come out..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Min and all the soldiers were disgraced, this famous general was so angry that he frowned, not because he didn't listen to his own dissuasion to pursue the enemy, but because he was angry that he used soldiers for the first time, he should have thought that the second son was in charge of the army at the beginning, and he would definitely make meritorious contributions, and pursue desperately, how could he be so confused that the prince insisted on leading the troops forward.
The soldier saw that Zhou Min was stunned on the spot, but the general had never heard the military report, and he couldn't care about the injuries on his body at the moment, so he couldn't bear the pain and wanted to repeat it, and before he could speak, he felt that his body was light, and he had fallen to the ground.
"Take him to heal, and the rest of the people, leave 10,000 foot soldiers to guard Luzhou City, and the rest of the generals, follow me lightly and quickly to support His Royal Highness the Prince!"
——
In the pouring valley, Qi Shao was embarrassed, and the cloak behind him had already been broken into strips under the rush, if it weren't for the Yuntian armor given by King Qi Yun to save his heart, I was afraid that His Royal Highness the Second Prince had already died many times, and at this moment he was struggling to swing the long sword in his hand, and kept pushing away the rain of arrows that were shooting down on both sides of the valley.
Repenting of the beginning, Qi Shao recalled the big mistake made by Shi Cai, and thought that he was studying under Xiao Junshi, not taking the enemy army in his eyes, and when he encountered the 3,000 forward army of the Tang Army at night, it was light
Song killed Pan Jun, and Qi Shao, who was eager for meritorious service, ignored the dissuasion of his entourage, and even forgot Zhou Min's instructions completely, and commanded 10,000 Tianyunwei to pursue the remnants of the opponent's army.
As the mountain road in front of him narrowed, Tianyunwei gradually formed two or three columns from the original dozens of columns, Qi Shao realized that something was wrong, his eyes looked at the clumps of dead trees on the valley on both sides, and secretly thought in his heart: "Sir once taught that when marching in battle, it is most taboo to enter the narrow valley, if there are ambushes on both sides, the front and rear will surround the valley... Not good!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't care where the remnants of the Tang army had fled, so he hurriedly drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "Quickly retreat!"
Unexpectedly, the word "army" came out, and the ambushes on both sides of the valley suddenly rose, and the rain of arrows fell like a storm, and with a salvo, hundreds of Yunwei were buried under the rain of arrows.
Although he was under siege, Qi Shao learned the real skills in Xiao Jiashen, and immediately called for the whole army, raised his shield to resist at the same time, and ordered the rear army to be the front army, and broke through to the valley of the road.
Finally the whole army retreated, the rain of arrows on both sides of the valley stopped, Qi Shao saw this, not only did his eyes not only not see the vigilance, but revealed a more dignified color, and he already knew what means the other party was going to use, and immediately shouted loudly: "The Tang army wants to use rolling stones, listen to my orders, shield array!"
Qi Yunwei is worthy of being the elite under the command of King Qi Yun, he heard the order, stopped panicking, and the shield soldiers formed a formation, entering the ground with the tail of the shield, in an oblique manner, and the rest of the soldiers hid behind the shield array, and slowly retreated towards the valley mouth...
Although Tianyunwei is well-trained, he still can't withstand the attack of many falling rocks, listening to the screams of soldiers being killed by boulders in his ears, Qi Shao can't wait to raise his sword to apologize, but he knows in his heart that if he dies, these Tianyunwei will lose their main generals, and they will all die in this valley.
Thinking of this, I can only grit my teeth and slowly retreat with the army...
Withdrawing his thoughts, looking at the Tianyunwei who went out with him, he had already lost more than half, Qi Shao couldn't care about the regret in his heart, and still hoarsely kept his military examples, resisting the rain of arrows on the one hand, and letting the rear army try to break through the valley mouth.
How can the word "concave" Taniguchi be easy to get in and difficult to get out, not to mention that the Tang army led by Yang Jinzhi has already surrounded Taniguchi, no matter how many times the breakthrough failed, so he had to retreat to Taniguchi and struggle...
"Counselor Yang, in my opinion, in less than half an hour, we will be able to attack the valley mouth and capture Qi Shao alive!" Yang Jinzhi was a Tang general beside him, looking at Yun Tianwei who was struggling to support him in the night, and his eyes were full of joy and he said.
Yang Jinzhi did not show the slightest joy at this time, let alone the idea of capturing Qi Shao, but looked back behind him, although this place is some distance from Luzhou, but he did not expect that Qi Shao could support so long under such a siege, if he could not annihilate Yun Tianwei and Qi Shao trapped in the valley in half an hour, I was afraid that Zhou Min's reinforcements would come.
"How about it, let Er wait for the general to return and lead the army to come, and the battle report here has been passed to the general's tent?" Thinking of this, Yang Jinzhi was a little anxious and asked General Tang.
General Tang didn't expect that Counselor Yang did not show half of his joy, but asked him about the battle report, and hurriedly replied: "At the beginning of the siege, I ordered the scouts to hurry back to the camp according to the counselor's order, and the army would arrive in no more than an hour."
"That's fine, give the order to go down, order the vanguard battalion, and approach the valley a hundred paces, no matter what, to trap them in the valley!" Yang Jinzhi's eyes were solemn, and he ordered in a deep voice.
Hearing the sound of shouting and killing again, Yun Tianwei, who had just rested for a while, immediately got up, each holding a sword firmly on guard, and a few partial generals walked quickly to the side of the prince who was standing with a sword, and spoke in a condensed voice.
"Your Royal Highness, the current siege has been completed, most of our army has been lost, and the available soldiers are less than four thousand, if this continues, before General Zhou's reinforcements arrive, our army will be completely annihilated, it is better to... Why don't you..."
"Why not as good as what?" Qi Shao raised his sword and turned around, and his tired eyes reappeared.
Seeing the prince, the generals didn't dare to say anything, but thinking of the first battle of Qi Tang, the prince of Qi Yun was killed, and the morale of the army would be greatly weakened.
"I'll ask the prince to take off his Qiyun armor and hide in the valley, and wait... When we are all dead, the enemy will be negligent when the battlefield is cleaned, and then the son of the world will be alone, and he will be able to get out of trouble."
Before the words fell, I saw a flash of cold light, and the black-handled long sword in the hand of the prince was already there
Sitting on this neck, Qi Shao's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "You let this son abandon the army and escape alone? What is the crime of those who are in turmoil in battle?"
Seeing this, the generals hurriedly knelt on the ground and said bluntly, but this upright general didn't seem to care, and bluntly persuaded each other.
"If the prince wants to be in the army, the last general is willing to lead the death, but the prince thinks about it, if we Qiyun and Tang Zhi fight for the first time, we will announce the death of the prince to the world, what will happen to the great prince who goes north to resist the Jin? What will happen to King Yun, who is fighting a fierce battle with the Xiongnu in Zhongzhou? The life and death of the son of the world alone involves the heart of Qi Yunjun and the people of the world, and I hope that the son of the world will think twice!"
This general faced the blade of the sword, without any cowardice, and all the soldiers heard the words and spoke in unison.
"I hope the prince thinks twice!"
Xu is the general's words, touching Qi Shao's heart, the son slowly withdrew the sword, fell into a dilemma, abandoned the army, escaped alone, in the future, how will the father, brother, Qi Yun people, and the siblings and relatives of these soldiers think of their own survival... But the admonition of the generals is true...
Seeing the hesitation of the prince, the generals knew that he was worried about the soldiers, and the generals who had spoken to persuade him suddenly got up, drew their swords in their hands, and shouted at Tianyunwei in the valley.
"Brothers, we, Qiyun soldiers, abandon comfort, go north and south, just for the common people in the world, now in a desperate situation, the son of the world does not want to abandon us and others, and wants to die with us, but the son of the world comforts and involves the heart of the entire Qiyun army..."
Speaking of this, the general did not open his mouth to continue, but the valley Tianyunwei already knew the meaning of the general's words,
"We want to go!"
The cold wind drilled into the valley, blowing away the mist that gradually rose in the valley, but it couldn't shake away the blood of Tianyunwei, whether they could fight or not, with a chorus, they all stood up with their blades, silently put out a military formation, under the leadership of the generals, rushed towards the valley, and the sound of bowstrings sounded in the valley again...
Qi Shao, who was awakened by the rain of arrows and the roar of killing, looked back, only saw the back of Qi Yunerlang, who was constantly falling, his eyes were already red, and he wanted to go with his sword, but he only took a few steps, as if he remembered the advice of the right general, and couldn't help but slow down his steps and stop his body...
It is often more courageous to live than to die, and with a long sigh, Qi Shao put away his sword, took off the Yuntian armor on his body, turned around silently, and resolutely walked towards the depths of the valley.
Listening to this Jiuwu slowly speaking, Xiao Xiang's eyebrows, which were carrying the country, seemed to be pressed deeper, and he asked after him: "In the bag I handed over to General Zhou back then, I clearly instructed the strategy of confronting the enemy with the Southern Tang Dynasty, but why... And how did General Zhou die? How did Your Majesty turn defeat into victory?"
Just as the wind of early spring rose again, just like the chill in the winter wind in the valley of the year, the condensed ninety-five thoughts were pulled back to the year.
"Cloudless Kyushu,
The most reunion night is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lychee wishes all the officials a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Mododa"
