Chapter 183: Division of Troops
Although Shi Dongpeng was seriously injured, Jiang Zhenfei was not his opponent, but he gently flicked the knife to resolve the power of the double hammer, and with a stroke of the situation, a bloody wound was drawn on Jiang Zhenfei's ribs, and the blood seeped out of the armor in an instant.
Jiang Zhenfei felt the heat in his ribs, and subconsciously lowered his head, and at this moment of bowing, Shi Dongpeng's knife had already arrived, and he only heard a "poof", and he was cut into two pieces with people and horses.
Shi Dongpeng jumped off the horse, cut off Jiang Zhenfei's head, then climbed on the horse's back, and gently knocked the horse's strand with his knife, and the horse slowly walked forward.
In front of the two armies, Qu Boyu looked at Xu Lishan, they had won for a while, and the second battle didn't know the result, even if it was a loss, it was already a draw, and one of Jiang Qingqun's sons was already in their hands, so they decided to launch a general attack.
Jiang Qingqun was eager to save his son and planned to fight to the death, so the two armies beat the war drums at the same time, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were quickly twisted together.
This brutal battle lasted from morning to midnight, and in the end there was no winner. The two sides had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to their respective camps. Jiang Qingqun took stock of his men and horses, and lost about half, and the losses of Qu Boyu and Xu Lishan were not too much. The next day, the two armies repaired for a day, and on the third day, Yoo Hee-yeol came. He didn't bring many people, but his arrival encouraged the whole army.
Not choosing to defend the city was Jiang Qingqun's biggest mistake. After Ba Niu received the battle report from the front, he didn't make any arrangements at all, but just let Liu Xilie come to the front line, which was enough for him, and it turned out that it was true.
As soon as the war drums were beaten, he took the lead and rushed in front of Jiang Qingqun, so fast that Jiang Qingqun didn't have time to react at all.
"The fool said, cut off the head of the man who made the hammer, and I can go back. -- The surname Qu is really not a thing, and I have to do such a simple thing for him." He has resentment in his heart, and his actions will naturally be reckless, but it is precisely because of this recklessness that this success has been achieved.
When Liu Xilie's big knife slashed down, Jiang Qingqun didn't react at all, and it was still his generals around him who stretched out their weapons and helped him stop the knife.
After Jiang Qingqun reacted, he saw that the general in front of him was not good-looking and short, so he had to despise him. He glanced at everyone and asked them to get out of the way, and then swinged the double hammer, one after the other, "The meteor catches the moon, like Liu Xilie smashed down."
In the current Kyushu Continent, there is almost no person who can meet with Liu Xilie for thirty faces, and Jiang Qingqun's level is only ten at most. He did confront him for ten rounds, and in the eleventh round, he was swept away by Liu Xilie with a knife, dismounted, and stabbed him, resulting in his life.
As soon as the Lord died, the people of Kangle also collapsed instantly, tens of thousands of horses, in less than half an hour, surrendered to those who surrendered, those who fled, and those who did not surrender and escaped, only corpses remained. Jiang Jiayu was also taken.
When Ba Niu arrived, Qu Boyu and Xu Lishan had already done a good job of calming the people, he just made some additions and corrections, and then asked Xu Lishan to leave 10,000 horses to defend the city, and he led the army to Wulongpo.
Although Wulongpo is called Po, it is an authentic mountain city. The mountain has five peaks, the peak has five cities, and the terrain is extremely steep. The person responsible for guarding Wulongpo was Hu Yuwei, a general under Huang Hanyuan. Hu Yuwei is also not a famous general, but this person has a stunt, - a hundred steps through Yang. It is said that he has never missed a shot since he learned to shoot.
This time, it was Qu Boyu who took the lead. Xu Lishan's 15,000 men and horses, plus the newly surrendered 20,000 people, were all incorporated into his command, and his current army has reached 60,000 people. So, when he came to the bottom of the five mountain cities, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously when he looked at the rolling peaks and the fortifications on the peaks.
Before the army set off, Ba Niu had told Qu Boyu to be more careful. Don't go to the front line at any time, because the opponent has a sharpshooter who is also very powerful. However, a person who has just won a victory is easily carried away by victory, and he did not take Ba Niu's words to heart from the beginning, and he disregarded it at this time.
"The prince has always used soldiers like a god and dared to take risks, but he didn't expect that a small mountain city would make him so cautious." He looked at Tualdin, who was specially sent by Ba Niu to assist him, and said with a beaming attitude.
"The prudence of the prince naturally has the truth of the prince." Tualadin said very seriously: "To be sure, it is always good to be cautious. Moreover, the prince has no last resort, and when it is not particularly necessary, he will never say a word more."
Qu Boyu nodded, but he didn't think so. He planned to personally lead the army to attack the city the next day.
Tualadin was the last to get the news, and by the time he got the news, it was too late. Qu Boyu's first wave of attacks had already been launched. Then came the second wave, the third wave. Groups of people rushed up, rows of corpses fell, and they attacked continuously for a day and a night, without even opening a gap in the mountain city.
Qu Boyu was already red-eyed, and in order to motivate the soldiers, he actually went to the front line and personally commanded the siege.
Hu Yuwei was also overwhelmed by this overwhelming offensive, but when he saw Qu Boyu's banner of the Chinese army standing under the city, his heart became happy.
In the peaceful dawn, looking down from the city, you can see it very clearly. Hu Yuwei saw Qu Boyu surrounded by generals at a glance. He drew an arrow, stretched out his bow, aimed it well, and then commanded: "All the crossbow arrows, follow my arrows, and shoot them at the general in the red robe."
Everyone agreed, and as Hu Yuwei's strong arrows left the string, a rain of arrows fell from the sky and shot towards Qu Boyu in unison. Qu Boyu has been a general for more than 20 years, and he has experienced a hundred battles, but because of a moment of carelessness, he died in the random arrows, and no one around him was spared.
When Ba Niu found his body, he had already been shot as a hedgehog. Ba Niu circled around his corpse, and then, leaning down, grasping the arrow that had been shot at his throat, the two of them quickly ran over, grabbed Qu Boyu's corpse, and let him pull the arrow out.
"It's just an ordinary arrow, and the effect will be very different depending on the person who uses it." Ba Niu looked at the arrow in his hand, and then took out his own arrow and compared: "I don't know, my arrow and his arrow, whose arrow will be more powerful"?
Wei Wuzhou couldn't help but be shocked when he heard him speak like this. This expedition was actually not smooth, the annihilation of Liu Nanshan's army, and the accidental death of Qu Boyu this time, the blow to Ba Niu was very huge. He had already seen that Ba Niu was gradually losing his former composure.
"The minister thought that arrows were just arrows, and that no matter how great the person who wielded them, it would hardly play a decisive role in war. The prince doesn't have to care about this. The subordinates thought that it was the plan for the present, and the siege of the city was the best, and as for revenge, it would not be too late to do it after the city was broken."
Ba Niu smiled gloomily: "I will also destroy the city, and I will also avenge it." General Wei, the task of the main attack will be handed over to you, I don't limit your time, and it doesn't matter what method you use, as long as you can capture the five cities, but you have to leave them a way to live, do you understand"?
"Subordinates understand"! It was the first time for Wei Wuzhou to receive such an important task, and he was inevitably excited.
"General Lin" This is the first time that Ba Niu has sent a task to Lin Shidong.
Lin Shidong immediately went out of class to talk.
"Behind the five cities, there is a road leading directly to the mouth of Huai'en, you lead a group of men and horses to ambush there, after you see them defeated and retreated, do not intercept them, and after they are finished, chase and kill them from behind, there must be no mistake."
Lin Shidong retreated after receiving the order.
"General Qubiau".
Qubiawu went out of class to listen to the order.
"A hundred miles away from here, there is a place called the Three Forks, where there are two roads, one leading to Dadu and the other to Huai'enkou. You set out at once, lead the men and horses of your headquarters, and guard the road at Wynne's mouth, and you must not let them pass this way, do you understand?"
"Subordinates understand". After Qu Biawu received the order, he immediately left the big tent of the Chinese army and prepared to set off.
"Yoo Hee-yeol"!
Yoo Hee-yeol was dozing off, startled when his name was called, and shouted, "What's the matter?"
"You go and choose five hundred of the best cavalry, choose the best horses, and when they are all ready, come to see me in the back tent immediately, you know"?
"This matter", Liu Xilie yawned and said lazily: "I'll go in a while, don't worry."
