In February, Ding Wei, the king of Ming led the former army of the western expedition to Nantanggou, Chengdu with the captain of Jin Changshui, and met the pseudo-Shu Zhennan general Li Quan and more than 10,000 people at night. The king of Ming was in front of the general Zhang Qu, broke into the enemy camp, and went back and forth several times, but he did not dare to stop him. The puppet Shu army was shocked, the cry shook the sky, and the mourning was everywhere, and finally collapsed. The remnants of the army led by the right to flee north, and the generals Xu Dang and Liu Jin pursued and intercepted them before and after, and the road was desperate to descend. Li Fu, the general of the puppet Shu Right Guard, met the Xuanwu Gongzhong Army, and the melee fell, and before dawn, he collapsed.

------- excerpt from the introduction

"Suiyuan!" Zeng Hua shouted happily, and the second building advocated that the canal hurriedly answered, sounding even happier than Zeng Hua.

"You lead your second building as the main force of the assault, and give me a straight entry into the Shu army camp from the middle." Zeng Hua ordered, "Whether the more than 10,000 Shu troops can be defeated depends on you!" ”

"Order!" Zhang Quying's is better than singing.

"Dingshan, Qianfu, the two of you each lead your own men and horses to break into the Shu army camp from the left and right, and respond to the second assault!"

"Order!" Xu Dang's response was a little sour, but Liu Jin's voice was still calm and low.

"Alright, let's go and get ready! It's up to everyone tonight! Zeng Hua raised his head to look at the moon in the sky that was not yet complete, and said leisurely: "I hope I don't live up to such a beautiful night!" ”

The eyes of Liu Jin, Zhang Qu, and Xu Dang next to him suddenly sparkled, comparable to the stars in the sky competing with the bright moon. And Che Yin, who was standing behind Zeng Hua, smiled faintly, but Feng Yue sighed softly, not knowing who he was sighing for.

In the darkness before dawn, everything is in a state of confusion, this is the time of alternation of light and darkness, but also the time of wakefulness and sleep, although the whole earth is still silent, but there has begun to be some slight movement in the surrounding slowly and gently sounded.

The Shujun camp in Tanggou was still silent, and the Shu army in charge of the sentry was leaning on the wooden fence, holding their spears, and fell asleep in a daze. As a non-professional soldier, these Shu troops, who were still ordinary people last month, are indeed not very competent. They did not send spies to survey the surrounding area from afar, nor did they set up outposts or ambushes around the camp. This made the second outpost of the Changshui Army, who had quietly touched it, wonder if he was fighting with an army. However, the Changshui Army is to measure others by its own standards, you must know that their set of garrison defense methods, even if Tuxing Sun comes, he will be deflated, that is, the general Jin army and regular army are not so strict, not to mention this "pseudo-Shu militia" that is not an army. Maybe the Changshui Army always calculates to attack others at night, and is afraid of being attacked by others at night.

The distance of several miles was quickly over, and Zhang Qu led his second building to the gate of the Shu army camp first. They crouched down from a distance and slowly approached. At the beginning, Zhang Qu was very cautious and sent the strongest forward team to prepare for the "assassination" of the possible secret posts and patrols, covering the team to sneak into the advantageous position of the assault. Who knew that all the way by, except for a few rabbits who came out to "cheat at night", there were basically no animals in front of the forward team.

Zhang Qu received the report and immediately understood, it seems that he has picked up a big bargain tonight! simply did not stop, and ordered the whole building to move forward quietly immediately, once in place, all of them entered the assault position.

It seems that Zeng Hua played a very important role in the many bizarre tactical training that Zeng Hua "imposed" on the Changshui Army. I saw that the teams of the second building quickly found their positions and observed the situation in front of them. Then after the chiefs of each tun got the building and whispered in the back, they all returned to each tun as if they had obtained a heavenly opportunity, and then ordered the level to pass down quietly, and even each of them knew their tasks and the target of the assault. Its proficiency is far better than that of the brothers in Heifeng Village, who go down the mountain to work in the dark.

With Zhang Qu's long whistle, more than ten arrows flew towards their respective targets like lightning with the sound of strong crossbow strings, and more than ten pseudo-Shu sentinels who were leaning there and falling asleep or drowsy suddenly had one more thing on their bodies. The powerful arrows pierced their bodies without a sound, digging a bloody hole in their throats and hearts, and killing them in their sleep. But there were three or four lucky sentries who didn't immediately lose their breath, and the great pain made them wake up from the sweet dream of going home and reuniting with their wives and children, and they struggled to look at it for a long time before they realized that the great pain was coming from their chests, and that there was an arrow on it that should not have been there, and it was still gurgling and bleeding.

The sentry of the pseudo-Shu army, who may have only seen chicken blood and pig blood, immediately screamed, and his voice was like that of a desperate hungry wolf, tearing through the sky, like a sharp knife splitting the silent night. The voice of panic and despair stretched very long, crossing the entire Tanggou camp, making all the puppet Shu soldiers who were awakened feel an inexplicable and terrifying fear.

But the Changshui Army felt an inexplicable excitement, their commander Zeng Hua had trained them into a group of real soldiers, before the enemy died or surrendered, the more fearful the enemy was, the better news it was for them, and the more they were motivated to kill the enemy.

A long group of sailors rushed out, threw the rope in his hand forward, and the rope sleeve in front immediately lassoed the sparse wooden gate, and then shouted, and at the same time pulled out forcefully, and immediately pulled the pseudo-Shutanggou camp gate that was "erected indiscriminately" to the ground.

At the same time, the soldiers of the second building who served as the main attack began to light the torches in their hands, and the fire outside the pseudo-Shutanggou camp suddenly flashed and gathered into a raging fire.

Seeing that the camp gate was pulled down, Zhang Qu stood up and stood in front of his subordinates, and with him was his "new weapon", the Mo knife designed by Zeng Hua.

As a descendant of a soldier, Zeng Hua naturally has a special hobby for weapons, and has also gone to the cold weapon forum on the Internet, seen the Mo knife that has been spread on the Internet, and has also seen the horizontal knife and Miao knife.

After coming to this world, Zeng Hua built a few handy weapons for himself, designed several knife patterns, and found a few skilled blacksmiths to guide them to carefully build a few. Among them, the most satisfying are the Mo knife and the long head knife.

The Mo knife is designed by Zeng Hua according to the description of the Tang Dynasty Mo knife on the Internet, as well as the combination of the Song Dynasty knife and the three-pointed two-edged knife, the total length of the knife is one zhang and four feet (at that time 1 foot = 24.5 cm, one zhang and four feet is about 3.4 meters), the blade is three feet long, and the length is one zhang and one foot. The tip of the blade is triangular, with two sides of the front, three inches thick, and the blade and handle are connected with a protective ring.

The long head knife is made by Zeng Hua according to the appearance of the Miao knife, the knife is six feet long (about 1.5 meters), the handle is one foot eight inches (0.45 meters), the total length is eight feet two inches (about 2.0 meters), the single edge is slightly curved, two inches thick, and the tip of the knife is long at the top and short at the bottom.

As soon as these two knives came out, Zhang Qu, Xu Dang and others were immediately fascinated, and even Liu Zhen moved his "mortal heart". Zeng Hua couldn't stand their soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to give up the "patent right". However, because it is not easy to build a long head knife and a Mo knife, it can only be assembled in small quantities. As a result, the horizontal knife became the saber of the officers and some non-commissioned officers of the Changshui Army, while the Modao became the "standard weapon" of a few people such as Zhang Qu, Xu Dang, Liu Jin, etc. Zeng Hua also selected 30 of the most brave and powerful people from each building, organized them into a team, enjoyed the treatment of non-commissioned officers, and each person was equipped with a Mo knife, and specially trained to wield the knife and march in a team.

Zhang Qu waved his Mo knife and yelled: "Brothers, rush with me!" The second sergeant of the Changshui Army roared in unison, holding a torch, waving the ring head knife in his hand, and followed his owner to rush into the pseudo-Shu camp. The Modao team didn't play here, because it was a bit of a chicken knife here, but their famous battle was not long after.

Zhang Qu brandished the Mo knife and rushed to the front. Not far from the camp gate, he saw several pseudo-Shu officers and soldiers rushing over. Zhang Qu didn't say a word, picked up the Mo knife, swung it forward left and right, and immediately slapped the three sergeants who rushed to the front in two, and then effortlessly slammed forward, cutting a deep bloody cut on the chest of the two pseudo-Shu officers behind, and was immediately put to the ground.

As soon as Zhang Qu's arm loosened, the blade of the Mo Knife, which was still dripping with blood, suddenly fell to the ground, and as the blood slowly flowed to the ground, the blade that was still bright red just now quickly returned to its normal gray-white. Zhang Qu nodded with satisfaction, he now liked this murderous weapon more and more. In addition to slashing and stabbing like a spear, the greatest power is to sweep, killing several people with one swing, and there is no strong opponent before. There is no need to turn the wrist, as long as it is swept like this, the left and right will be quiet.

But the pseudo-Shu sergeant who rushed over from behind was so frightened that he almost defecated and incontinent together. The boss and comrades-in-arms who were shouting and jumping just now were cut to the ground by the Jin army general in front of them in an instant, and three of them were cut in two, the blood was black in the faint morning light, and the black and slimy stuff should be internal organs.

Some of the pseudo-Shu soldiers who rushed up were stunned, and some had a bad stomach and vomited on the spot. Standing there, holding a murder weapon in his hand, Zhang Qu had a cold smile on his face, and his eyes swept over the dozen or so pseudo-Shu soldiers in front of him. All of them felt like helpless lambs, stared at by a salivating wolf, as if the wolf were choosing which lamb to eat first.

Suddenly, Zhang Qu's hand moved, and the Mo knife, whose blade was still on the ground, suddenly shook, and the long handle trembled and made a buzzing sound. The two puppet Shu sergeants couldn't stand it anymore, shouted, dropped their weapons and turned around and ran back, while the puppet Shu sergeant at the front was trembling, and a foul smell came from his body. Suddenly, the rest of the pseudo-Shu sergeants seemed to have just come to their senses, suddenly dropped their weapons and ran back, screaming loudly as they ran, otherwise they would not have the courage to move their legs.

All this happened in an instant, and when the pseudo-Shu sergeants began to turn around and run wildly, most of the sergeants of the second building of the Changshui Army, who were dozens of steps behind, rushed up, just following the back of the rout. While brandishing the ring-headed knife in their right hand, they stabbed the pseudo-Shu soldiers who had just been woken up and drilled out of the camp in a daze, cut them down directly, and then used the torch in their left hand to light the tent and forage next to them. Suddenly, the sound of killing in the Tanggou pseudo-Shu camp shook the sky, the flames were everywhere, and the standard scene of being attacked at night.

Li Quan, the general of Zhennan, got out of his big tent and couldn't help but sigh long as he listened to the shouts and killings, screams, and the firelight dancing in the faint morning light of dawn. He may have known that he would lose, but he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly, so suddenly, and like this. If he met the Jin army under Pengmo City, it would be okay to lose again in a bloody battle, but who knew that he was beaten with a head covered in the dark night.

As the general of Zhennan in the pseudo-Shu, Li Quan still experienced a real battle, that is, not long ago in the winter of the second year of Yonghe, Taibao Li Yi rebelled from Jinshou (now east of Jiange in Sichuan, east bank of the Jialing River), tens of thousands of people were killed, and they were killed until Chengdu. As a result, as soon as the fight began, Li Yi, a fierce man, rushed in front of him, but was pierced through the head by an arrow shot out of nowhere, and he was killed. The tens of thousands of troops under his command were suddenly scattered.

At that time, Li Quan was wearing armor and holding a knife, and he was trembling on the city tower. After seeing this chaotic scene, Li Quan also thought that the war was nothing more than that. To be honest, his military level is really far inferior to the arrogant former general Zan Jian. So he thought that he would lead the army south, meet with his uncle Li Fu, and fight to the death with the invading Jin army, maybe with the blessing of his ancestors, he could turn defeat into victory and repeat the scene of Chengdu's defeat of Li Yi.

So, Li Quan led the army south "full of enthusiasm", preparing for a decisive battle with the Jin army. As for some of the basic arrangements for camping and Anzhai, Li Quan also knows some, but he wants to find the Jin army for a decisive battle, so he naturally won't take these small things to heart, and he thinks that someone below will naturally arrange them.

But the pseudo-Shu officers who were transferred to lead the "militia group" are all veterans, and if the commander doesn't say it, everyone will pretend not to know, just make do with it for a few nights, and maybe one day they will each save their own lives.

The Jin army that Li Quan was looking forward to came, and it was here to fight him in a decisive battle, which fulfilled his wish. But the time and manner of coming were not what he wanted, and it was also beyond his expectations. But Li Quan still saw the appearance in front of him, and when he saw such a movement, no matter how much he was a military idiot, he understood that his 10,000 horses would not be able to reach the dawn.

When Zhang Qu led the second building to rush into the puppet Shu army like a tiger descending the mountain, turning the Tanggou camp upside down, Xu Dang and Liu Jin also held Mo knives, led their own headquarters, and smashed into the Shu army camp from the left and right, and unceremoniously stabbed the two ribs of the 10,000 Shu army that had been bleeding fiercely.

Three sharp knives were inserted into the Tanggou camp before and after, and the 10,000 Shu troops who were killed cried and shouted and fled in all directions, but due to the tacit understanding of the three men and horses of the Changshui Army, each performing its own responsibilities, the result was that the sergeants of the Shu Army heard the shouting of killing everywhere, and there were brave and tiger-like Changshui troops who struck head-on, killing their own people on their backs.

Oh my God, could it be that the Jin army, with tens of thousands of people, has already surrounded us? Just when the Shu army was hesitating, a voice came, "General Zhennan has run away!" ”

This shout was like the last straw, crushing the last bit of support for the Shu army. A small number of sergeants from the regular army who had turned around knew that the matter was no longer possible, and immediately ran behind Li Quan. And most of the "militia groups" with no combat experience were like headless flies, and they also followed behind, and suddenly, more than 10,000 Shu troops were defeated.

Li Quan was embraced by more than a dozen pro-soldiers and escaped from the Tanggou camp, and soon after him, thousands of defeated troops were followed one after another, and everyone "worked together and scrambled" to flee in the direction of Chengdu in the north, which was the safest place in their hearts.

But Zeng Hua won't give them a chance. He divided Liu Tan and Xu Dang into the left and right wings to assist Zhang Qu in the assault, which was to make a good calculation to pursue while he was victorious. Seeing the rout of the entire Shu army, Zeng Hua immediately issued an order, ordering Liu Tan and Xu Dang to immediately assemble their headquarters and chase Li Quan's rout army before and after. And the battlefield was left to the second building with high hard work.

Speaking of rapid marches, if the Changshui Army dares to humbly say that they are slower than turtles, then other armies can run no different from snails. However, the 5,000 pseudo-Shu rout army was a big explosion of character this time, and in order to escape for his life, he actually played at a super level, so that the third building of Xu Dang, who was chasing behind, took a little effort and time to catch up.

When Li Quan and the others finally got rid of Xu Dangbu's entanglement, and when they saw Liu Jin's first building panting in front of them as soon as they escaped for half a mile, they all understood that there was no way to escape.

When the prisoners were being packed, the sergeant of the first building of the Changshui Army scolded angrily: "Rabbit cub, why are you running so fast? In order to block you, I almost ran out of breath! ”

Li Quan thought to himself very aggrievedly: Big brother, we are running for our lives! It's not going for a walk!

Compared with his nephew Li Quan, the right guard general Li Fu is more straightforward.

He instigated Li Quan to divide his troops into two ways, and he didn't have any good intentions. Li Fu planned to let his eldest nephew Li Quan lead 10,000 horses to attack Pengmo, and make an appointment to encircle the Jin army in one fell swoop, which was actually to let Li Quan be the banner of the wind. You have a lot of people and horses must be easy to be discovered by the Jin army, I only have 5,000 people, quietly come from the bypass, if there is a chance I will help you fight, if there is no chance, we will run to Chengdu, so as to save a life. Even if I bring back 5,000 people from all dangers, I can make up for it.

Who knows that Li Fu's life is even more back. After Huan Wen received Zeng Hua's report, he immediately sent spies and soon turned out the Li Fu camp, which was less than five miles away. Then the six thousand Jin army went up, although it was not as vigorous as the Changshui army, but it was also as imposing as a rainbow, and the number was superior. Therefore, Li Fu's defeat was not better than Li Quan's, he didn't look good, and he didn't even have a chance to escape, so he simply dropped.
