Chapter 140: Fierce Battle on Dahengshan (7)
However, it was said that the two brothers Li Liangcai and Li Yuncai, the pioneers of the Western Xia infantry, each took 5,000 infantry, one left and one right, divided into two roads to explore the road in front, with an interval of four or five hundred meters in the middle.
Who knew that after walking for an hour, it was useless to meet the Great Song army, and both of them were secretly happy. The scouts who had been sent out came back and reported the situation twice, but there was no more news.
At this time, it was the beginning of the child's time, and the great northwest in late autumn was already a little chilly. But they hurried all the way, and there was a little hot sweat on their heads, and they didn't feel it at all.
Tonight was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a round of golden full moon pierced through the clouds and hung in the middle of the sky, they walked in this barren mountains and mountains, shuttling through the grass. These places were originally sparsely populated, and only some hairy trails were barely walkable. Fortunately, Dahengshan is located inland, at the junction of arid and semi-arid areas, and there are few large forests, otherwise, it would be almost impossible for tens of thousands of them to escape from Dahengshan if they want to cross the mountains and cross the mountains and pass through the hinterland of Dahengshan.
After some time, the two brothers led the group to a valley, and there was a small ditch in the valley, which was not yet completely dry, and a small amount of water was flowing slowly. The two of them ordered to rest for a while and drink some water, and everyone was indeed a little tired, and some fell asleep in the grass on the ground.
The two brothers came together and bumped into each other, and when they saw that everyone had walked for most of the night, they were now tired and sleepy, and their stomachs were a little hungry. The second Li Yuncai suggested: It's better to bury the pot in the valley and make rice, eat the rice, and rest for a while before leaving. There are two advantages to cooking here, one is that the terrain is low, and even if there are enemy troops in the distance, you can't see it. The second is that there is water here, and it is not easy to miss here to find a second place with water during the dry season.
Li Liangcai felt that the second child's suggestion was good, so he asked the partial general and the junior colonels to shout at the soldiers to cook rice.
Half an hour later, Duanmulong also came to the valley with 30,000 people, and saw that the two vanguard generals chose this place to eat and rest, and also thought it was good, and ordered the whole army to bury pots and cook rice along the valley, rest for a while after eating, and continue to hurry.
So the army of 40,000 began to raise the fire and cook in the valley, although the valley was wide, but there were too many people, from top to bottom, a total of more than ten miles, before the people were finished.
Suddenly, torches lit on the mountain beams on both sides, and for a time, thousands of torches were lit, reflecting the full moon in the sky, illuminating the sky and the world as if it were day......
"It's over, it's an ambush." This was Duanmu Long's first sentence after seeing the torch.
The torch was an order, and there was no need for the generals to greet them, all the soldiers put down their pots and pans, and picked up their weapons one after another, and some soldiers who were lazy to sleep were also kicked by everyone.
Duanmulong asked Li Liangcai to lead his 5,000 men to feint to attack the high ground in the east, and let Li Yuncai take 5,000 men to attack the high ground in the west.
The two of them took their own orders. As soon as he rushed to the middle of the slope, Liu Qi, a young general of the Western Army on the eastern high ground, gave an order, and the archers bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows were as dense as drizzle, where could they attack. In a few moments lost almost two thousand sergeants.
The generals in the west were even more ruthless, and the mountains in the west were already steeper, and when the enemy rushed halfway up the mountain, he gave an order: "Release!" "Thousands of stones rolled down, the big ones as big as wheels, and the small ones as big as copper basins, and the western army was wounded and killed by the touches, and when the five thousand men and horses were defeated and retreated, it was less than two thousand. Therefore, in less than fifteen minutes, 5,000 people were lost.
The two sides made a feint, but they could not attack, and they could only break through up or down along the valley. Li Chengxun thought for a moment: "Since the enemy has seen through our intentions, then the focus of his protection must be the north above, and even if there is an ambush in the south of the valley, it should be easy to break through."
So, all the generals were summoned and the arrangement began again:
He ordered his two generals to take 3,000 men each to feint on the high ground on the east and west sides, and to stretch the distance a little, and to bend their bodies within a hundred paces, and when they were eighty paces away, they climbed in the grass and confronted the enemy, and when they saw the enemy rushing down the hill, they shot them back with arrows.
He ordered a partial general to lead 4,000 men to search and advance north along the valley, and when he encountered the enemy, he formed a formation and attacked northward, rushing out one by one.
Li Liangcai and Li Yuncai led 5,000 people to search south. When encountering the enemy, there is no advance or retreat, and a quick breakthrough.
He led 20,000 horses and horses to follow closely behind Li Liangcai's brothers and break through to the south......
Half an hour later, Liu Yuanhua, the general who broke through to the north, came to the bend of the valley, which was relatively narrow, and the sharp soldiers in front had just turned the corner and were about to continue the search and advance, when they suddenly heard a loud roar like thunder: "Black Whirlwind Li Kui is here!" Xixia Hulu hurry up and send him to death! Carrying two plate axes, he drilled out of the grass, and behind him came Qiu Qionghu and 300 special combat soldiers with waist knives. 100 meters behind, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun led more than 10,000 infantry to stand up from the grass and closely follow.
Li Kui strode towards the enemy group, and when Liu Yuanhua raised his knife to cut at him, he slashed at the big knife with a steel axe in his right hand, and cut Liu Yuanhua's knife into two sections at once, and at the moment when Liu Yuanhua was stunned, he raised the plate axe in his left hand, and slashed Liu Yuan to the ground at once.
The enemy will be dead, and the enemy will be cold. Qiu Qionghu led 300 special soldiers to rush into the enemy group, slashing and killing, and after a while, most of the 4,000 enemy troops were killed and wounded, and they hid in the valley.
Li Kui shouted at Liu Guangshi behind him: "Xiao Liu, the rest of the people are handed over to you, my brother Zhao said that you are not allowed to run away." After speaking, He Qiu Qionghu led three hundred special soldiers and marched south along the valley......
Looking back, the brothers Li Liangcai and Li Yuncai led 5,000 soldiers and horses to break through to the south, and the valley was relatively flat to the south, and the more they went, the wider it became.
Duanmu Long followed closely behind with 20,000 horses, four or five hundred meters away from Li Liangcai and them. After walking for one or twenty miles, he did not encounter any enemies, and he was secretly proud in his heart, and now he could escape for a while. Suddenly, I heard the sound of fighting in front, and some soldiers had already returned to report: "The Song army in front is gathered, and there are all the Chongjia army, the Yao family army and the Zhejia army. ”
It turned out that Li Liangcai and Li Yuncai led their troops to a place, which was called Chaoshichuan. At this point in the valley, the valley suddenly widened, and the mountains on both sides became tall and steep. In the summer, when it rains, mudslides are apparently frequent, washing a large amount of rocks down the mountain, and a huge rockhenge is placed here.
As soon as the two of them arrived here, they were inexplicably nervous, and they were about to call everyone's attention. I saw that behind the rocks, many people suddenly stood up at once. The first three generals walked out, in the center was Zhao Chongyang's fierce general Luda, on the left was Shi Xiu, and on the right was Pang Wanchun. Behind him were three hundred special soldiers.
Not far to the left of the special combat soldiers, there are 1,000 heavily armed Yang Jiajun, and in front of them are two energetic generals, who are none other than Yang Yizhong and Wang Da.
On the right side of the special combat soldiers, there stood the 1,500 broadsword team brought by Zhao Chongyang from the capital, and the first two fierce generals were Chao Gai and Han Shizhong.
Four or five hundred meters behind, thousands of torches were lit, and in the middle of it was a large banner with a big word written on it. Three hundred meters on the left, a big flag has a Yao character written on it, and three hundred meters on the right, a folded word is written on the big flag.
As soon as the two armies looked at each other, Luda shouted: "You have been ambushed by my junior brother on all sides, why don't you come and die quickly!" ”
After speaking, he and Shi Xiu rushed out first, and Pang Wanchun led the three hundred special teams to follow closely.
The two brothers, Li Liangcai and Li Yuncai, knew that they couldn't escape now, and they had to fight to the death, and there was still hope for survival.
So Li Liangcai shouted loudly: "Rush! Use our lives to create hope of escape for the pony master. ”
Li Liangcai rushed towards Luda, and Li Yuncai rushed towards Shi Xiu.
Li Liangcai raised his knife and slashed at Luda, who raised his Zen staff to greet him. Boom! The knife and staff collided, Li Liangcai's knife bounced high, the knife was cut out of a big gap, and his arms were shocked and sore.
Ruda took advantage of the situation to sweep through the thousands of troops with one move, and the side of the Zen staff cut through the opponent's iron armor. After one round of fighting, Li Liangcai broke his stomach and saw that he couldn't live.
On the other side, Li Yuncai saw that his brother was killed by Luda with a cane, and he was shocked, Shi Xiu slashed at him, but he couldn't dodge, and the knife was cut off his right shoulder, killing him on the spot.
The remaining 5,000 sergeants saw that the two vanguard brave generals were instantly reimbursed, and they dared to fight there, and turned around and fled.
Pang Wanchun had already rushed into the enemy group with three hundred special soldiers and slashed and slashed. Yang Yizhong and Chao Gai did not show weakness on both sides, and commanded their sergeants to follow up quickly......
