Chapter 245 Huishi

Valley Station.

Although he had already been rewarded by the scouts of the Shengde Gong Department, and seeing the fiery red Ming military flag in the west, Liu Chao still felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart: he was finally going to see the legendary god of war Sun Jie!

Liu Chao was about to urge the horse over, and when he saw a few horses galloping from a distance, he was a little moved in his heart: Sun Jie sent someone to greet him, it seems that this young handsome man is really thoughtful, and he is not too much to sit back and wait for himself to worship. straightened up on the saddle and was about to step forward, but saw that Sheng Degong had turned over and dismounted and said to himself urgently: "The handsome man is here." ”

looked at it intently, and sure enough, when he saw how tall the red tassel on the helmet of the first person who came to ride, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: the Ming Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, in terms of official rank, Sun Jie is the chief military officer with the title of prince and young protector and has won the favor of the saint, he is just a new deputy general, the two armies will meet, since the past to meet, where is the reason why the marshal personally ran over to see the deputy general? At such a stunned moment, several horses had galloped to the front, and the leader of the man threw the stirrup off the saddle and got off the horse and strode towards him, Liu Chao came to his senses and jumped off the horse with his hands in embarrassment, and stepped forward with his fists in his hands, and shouted: "Dashuai, the last general doesn't know that Dashuai is coming, and he neglects Dashuai, capital crime, capital crime!" And as he spoke, he knelt down. Sun Jie took two steps and held Liu Chao's arms, and said with a smile: "Liu Shuai must not kill Sun." The heroic Sun Mou, who has been fond of Guizhou Province for a long time to resist the strong enemy alone, is a great luck to finally get one today! I heard that Liu Shuai was close to the left, I really wanted to see a big hero like Liu Shuai, so I didn't invite myself, Liu Shuai must not be too humble, otherwise Sun Mou will be even more ashamed, hahaha. ”

These words were like a spring breeze blowing on the embankment, and Liu Chao felt a warm current rushing straight into his heart, and all kinds of mustard, strangeness, and crampedness before...... In an instant, most of the ice and snow melted, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to call out again: "Dashuai!" ”

Sheng Degong, who was in a position behind Liu Chao, also stepped forward to see Sun Jie, and then Liu Chao was able to take a closer look at Sun Jie. The Ming God of War in front of him is about thirty-two or thirteen years old, it stands to reason that the military life of the wind and rain will always dye people's faces bronze, but Sun Jie doesn't seem to be affected much, his face is a healthy wheat color, and the two thick black sword eyebrows under the helmet are obliquely raised to the sideburns, showing a heroic vitality, the dark eyes seem to hide two stars, and a little starlight can be faintly seen in the depths that make people dare not look directly for too long, the straight nose bridge, the resolute lips, the short beard that is carefully trimmed, and the jaw with clear lines...... All of this came together to make Sun Jie exude an inexplicable power. In particular, there is a scar on the left cheek that is half an inch long, but this scar not only does not make people feel ugly, but also adds a little heroism to the handsome face. Liu Chao noticed that even when he came to meet friendly troops, Sun Jie still brought two combat knives with him, which seemed to be a habit that he had developed for a long time. One was tied around his waist, the other was tied to his back, and the hilt protruded out of his right shoulder, just within arm's reach: it was clearly his main weapon, and the one at his waist was a spare knife. His every movement is so powerful, and there is a faint sense of oppression. At this time, Sun Jie smiled at Liu Chao, and Liu Chao noticed that Sun Jie still had two dimples on his face! This smile is like a golden ray of sunlight piercing through the clouds, and all the discomfort immediately disappears, making people feel indescribably comfortable!

I only heard Sun Jie say: "Thank you Liu Shuai for your righteous help, using your military rations as bait to drag down An'an, this battle, Liu Shuai should be the first!" Sun has gained a lot in the Weaving Gold Thief's Nest, and has been loaded on the ship in Rouyuan, thinking that it is almost time to transport it to Yachi at this moment, and your needs will be safe, please rest assured Liu Shuai. ”

Liu Chao's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "The last general doesn't dare, don't dare!" When An Yi learned that the handsome man was coming, he fled with his tail between his legs. Don't hide it from the marshal, the last general was reckless, and he almost fell into an ambush during the pursuit, "If it weren't for the Sheng family brothers, don't say that the rebels would be able to escape with their lives, but I really don't know!" The grain marshal is still in his heart, and the last general has thanked the marshal for his sons. The last general is a rough man, but he is not a muddy person, and he can follow the handsome man to accumulate virtue on his ancestors, and he will never dare to read anything else. ”

Liu Chao said this, on the one hand, he was really infected by Sun Jie's attitude, charm and aura, on the other hand, as he said himself, he was not a fool, Sun Jie allocated the guard battalion to Lord Zhu as a guard, he knew very well in his heart the relationship between the two, third, in terms of strength, his five battalions and Sun Jie's troops were completely incomparable, and this upcoming decisive battle could only be played by Sun Jie. Make your attitude clear first, so as not to know that people know their faces and don't know their hearts, in case Sun Jie is just a temptation, and he will be yin when he shares the credit in the future, it will be really fatal!

Sheng Degong hurriedly reported his fist: "Liu Shuai is polite." The big break and the ambush relied on Liu Shuai to take the lead, and the tiger and wolf athletes under his command served their lives. ”

Liu Chao was about to say a few more polite words, but Sun Jie laughed, raised his hand and said, "Liu Shuai, don't be too modest." The lone brigade of the first division resisted ten times the strong thieves and kept the peace of the province for several years, if this is not the first achievement, Sun is the first not to agree! Then he squeezed his eyes at Liu Chao slyly, and whispered: "Liu Shuai rest assured." Liu Shuai of Guizhou Province is the first, and there is also a credit in Sichuan Province, Sun will not suffer, and he relies on Liu Shuai to help him a lot, hehe. ”

The first time they met, Liu Chao was really moved by Sun Jie: "It's better to meet than to be famous, and the last general really obeys the handsome, and listens to the handsome!" ”

Hearing Liu Chao and Sheng Degong introduce a few words about the situation here, Sun Jie thought for a while, and then looked solemn, and said: "Okay!" The main force of An'an was less than two days' journey from our army. They first lost their old nest, and then suffered a series of defeats at this moment, thinking that they were already panicking and losing their wild dogs, and they were anxious to join forces with extravagant rebels. Chishui is there, and Ben will have already arranged it. The second rebellion has been a disaster for many years, and Ben will be determined that this battle must be wiped out and never be troubled! Sheng was rebuilt, the Tiger Wing Battalion rested with the Chinese army, the Tiger Battalion went out as the leader of the army, and Liu Shuai and the general joined forces. He also asked Liu Shuai to send someone back to Yachi to report a message, and asked Lord Zhu to organize more Ding Zhuangmin to come later. The general estimated that it would not be long before a large amount of grain and grass would become a burden to the security and rebellion, as long as it was bitten by the vanguard battalion of our army, and it would have to be discarded one after another. Su Yinghui left some capable men and asked Minzhuang to return to the city. Then go to Lu Guang to say to Commander Lao, and ask him to attack together, and go straight west to join our department. After finishing speaking, his eyes swept towards everyone, "No matter how rampant the rebel thief is, he is a thief after all, how can I be the master of the Ming Dynasty?" Gentlemen, work hard! ”

The generals should be booming. Liu Chao found that when he said the last two sentences, the two looming stars in Sun Jie's eyes suddenly burst out, shooting out two compelling cold rays, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Twisting his face to look at Sun Jie's other generals, although they had all followed the young chief officer for many years, at this moment, their faces were also solemn.

At this time, An Bangyan was miserable. Although An Xiaoliang had already led his subordinates to join him, the two broken teams could never come back.

The Wumaze Division was almost completely wiped out, and only one hundred and ten people fled back one after another. According to them, nearly half of them were killed and wounded before even the cold hair of the Ming army was injured, and they were fighting hard, and then they were interspersed with the back by the Ming army's horse team, and the black fan was killed in such an unknown way. The main general was killed, and the army was in turmoil, and the Ming army's armored cavalry would rush all the remnants of the soldiers to the swamp of the yellow mud nest. The Ming army did not enter the wetland to chase after them, but began to set fire to the outer ring, driving people deep into the swamp, and then the main force drove up, guarded the only few paths and surrounded them for two days, and then left the whole army. At this time, there were less than 2,000 survivors, but on the third day, when everyone decided to venture out, they didn't expect the Ming army to leave a few surveillance posts and horse teams. Most of the people still ate their last meal before the war, and they were hungry and tired and worried for many days, let alone resist, even if they fled, how could they outrun the four legs of the horses? The hundreds of people who were lucky enough to save their lives were bombarded back into the swamp again, and this time they didn't dare to risk coming out from the north, so everyone turned to the south, drank sewage and ate insects and rats for two more days, and went around in a big circle, and finally escaped to find Elder An.

After the break, the people and horses of the broken grasshopper were better, and five or six hundred people fled back, but the grasshopper was shot dead on the spot by the Ming army. As soon as a grasshopper died, the army was also defeated, but there were only twenty or thirty armored cavalry in the Ming army on this road, and the rest were infantry, so there were always more than 2,000 people who escaped at the beginning, and the Ming army in iron armor did not chase after them. Unexpectedly, after running along the Yachi River for a long time, I saw that I had gotten rid of the chasing soldiers and left the danger, but I bumped into another Ming army head-on! At this time, everyone had already run out of strength, and was killed like chopping melons and vegetables, these people were the first to go into the forest to hide, and when they watched the Ming army triumphantly collect the team and leave along the river to the south, the rest of the people stumbled back from hiding in the forest.

An Bangyan estimated that this Ming army was Lu Guang's Sichuan army that followed An Xiaoliang. It is true that as An Xiaoliang said, they are limited in number, and after chasing for a while, they began to worry that they would be eaten in one bite, so they turned south and tried to join forces with the duck pond soldiers, and happened to encounter a cowardly rout. According to the time estimate, it was time for them to meet the pursuers of the Ming army in Kamoike at this moment. If it weren't for Sun Jie, Elder An would have turned around immediately, no matter how powerful these two guys were, how could tens of thousands of people fight to destroy them. But Sun Jie's main force was approaching step by step, and An Bangyan had no choice but to run all the way to the northwest - although he had not fought Sun Jie head-on, a pioneer battalion and a horse team of 200 people would beat 5,000 elite soldiers to the annihilation, in case they were bitten by Sun Jie's main force, the consequences could be imagined! It's better to merge with Extravagant Chongming first, and the certainty of confrontation is greater.

An Bangyan's estimate was not much different from the actual situation, and Ah Grasshopper cowardly defeated the Sichuan army led by Lao Shun. Lao Shun hurried south and did chase for a while but did not catch up with An Xiaoliang's rear team, afraid of encountering An Bangyan's main force, so he temporarily decided to find friendly troops first. In this era, there was no means of instant communication, and Lao Shun did not know that Sun Jie would go straight to the valley, and mistakenly thought that he would rush to Yachi first...... Unexpectedly, he accidentally blocked the remnants of A grasshopper, and he picked up a ready-made cheap one. As a result, when Sun Jie and Liu Chao met in the valley, Lao Shun passed by them, and the horses of the two armies were only separated by a hill recently. However, it didn't take long for Liu Chao's messenger to see Lao Shun, not far northwest of Guliyi, and Lao Shun finally caught up with Sun Jie.

An Bangyan's troubles were far more than the loss of two generals and nearly 10,000 of his most elite men, and now his main enemies were the most powerful friends he had once relied on for his strength, the mountains of Zewozexi and Xiongsuozonzexi. According to the previous plan of the two, it should have been Sun Jie's department behind Luxury Chongming, in order to delay the pursuit as much as possible, Luxury Chongming destroyed the road to a complete one, not to mention the pits, hidden arrows, news ambushes or something, Rao is the same Miao people, and it is difficult to escape the same trick if he is not careful; The mountain road is already narrow and steep, and it is difficult to pass through the ravines at this time, so you can cut down trees in the forest next to it to pave the road, but you have to be constantly wary of the mechanism laid by the king of luxury. The most dangerous and time-consuming thing is the giant tree that is built between the two mountains and serves as a bridge. Because many people had already stumbled into the trap or been nailed alive by the sharp wooden stakes that swept over, Elder An had a long heart, found the skinniest guy with a rope tied around his waist, and carefully crawled over to explore the way. As expected, before he had climbed three feet on it, the giant tree fell into the deep valley with a thud, and scared the unlucky man into hanging in the air and screaming - the mountain on the other side had been hollowed out for the other end, and a few bushes had been moved to cover it with ingenuity! So Elder An had no choice but to turn around on the spot and waste a whole day in vain......

"Throw away half of the food." An Bangyan reluctantly ordered. He knew that if he abandoned this grain now, he might have to suffer quite serious consequences in the future, but if he didn't, he would not be able to get over this hurdle in front of him! What is even more hateful is that the grain cannot be completely burned in one fire - although it is impossible to hide the movements of the brigade of men and horses, the pursuers can only follow the traces step by step; If it is burned, the large smoke will only reveal its specific location, which is the most unmistakable guidance for a strong enemy!

Despite abandoning half of the new grain that had been harvested with great difficulty in Yachi and Lu Guang, the speed of the troops' march was still not much faster, and according to the constant news from the eyeliner left on the hill in the rear, the Ming army's pursuers were no longer a day's distance from themselves. An Bangyan gritted his teeth and gave up half of the grain again, the speed of the marching army was finally faster, and he finally met the people sent by the master of Jinsha Village, and learned that after walking for half a day, he could see the Yongning army of King Luxury.

After meeting with Luxury Chongming, the two kings did not have any greetings, and immediately set out to prepare to deal with the pursuers: ambushes were sent on several hills, and enough dry firewood was piled up in the forests on both sides of the mountain road, and the front and rear were five or six miles long - as long as the Ming army set foot on this road, the fire was together, and those who were not buried in the sea of fire could not escape the ambush soldiers who were waiting for work!

Hurriedly arranging everything, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming glanced at each other, and invariably let out a sigh of relief, and the eyes of the two revealed the same meaning: Ancestors and gods bless, all this was finally completed before Sun Jie!

Looking up at the sky, An Bangyan silently calculated in his heart for a while: In two or three hours, it will be time to see Sun Jie's front team. It's still the old tactics: the Yongning Army, which has the strongest combat power, blocks the road! In front of the fight, Sun Jie's main force will definitely rush forward desperately to support, and when the team of people and horses enter the mountain road, the Shuixi Army will set fire to the forests on both sides at the same time, no matter which way the wind blows, this group of Ming dogs will not escape!

So the two kings comfortably found a hill and sat down to wait for Sun Jie.

However, this time, Sun Jie, who has always acted quickly, was late. They didn't wait two or three hours, they waited three days!
