Chapter 63: The Old and Weak Guard
Jiang Zhaokuan's clever words were eloquent.
"King Xia, hurry up and throw away the baggage, everyone travel lightly, Zhu Panhe can't hold out for long in Hemingpo!"
Lu Jingfei said.
Single-opening hesitated for a moment.
"King Xia, you must not give up your baggage, these are the foundation of our Chuxia power!" Jiang Zhaokuan shouted.
"Jiang Zhaokuan, the baggage is lost, we can take it back, we have to keep our sergeants, our Chuxia National Salvation Army!"
Feng Qingluan shouted.
"Feng Qingluan, don't think that we don't know your intentions, you just want to replace King Xia and seize the leadership of the Chu Xia Salvation Association!"
Jiang Zhaokuan's voice is full of experience.
"Don't make any noise!" Shan Kai seems to have made up his mind.
"Lost the baggage, everyone hurry up and cross the river!"
"King Xia, you can't give such an order, you will become a sinner in the great country of Chu and Xia!" Jiang Zhaokuan said loudly.
"Jiang Zhaokuan, don't talk anymore, they can do whatever they want!"
Shan Kai is a little discouraged.
"You hear me! King Xia told you to put down your things and cross the river quickly! Lu Jingfei said loudly.
All the sergeants were relieved, threw down what they had on their shoulders, and crossed the river lightly.
The army soon crossed the Cangqing River.
"Brother Lu, hurry up and send someone to let Zhu Panhe take down, there is only one left!" Feng Qingluan said.
Lu Jingfei agreed, and asked people to inform Zhu Panhe and retreat quickly.
Zhu Panhe received the order and led the rest of his men and horses to retreat.
The main force led by Luo Hu did not stop and soon arrived at the Cangqing River crossing.
The pontoon bridge has been destroyed, and Luo Hu ordered people to rebuild the pontoon bridge.
"President Luo, don't be anxious, the Chuxia National Salvation Army has crossed the Cangqing River, and they have nowhere to go but to hide in the depths of Cangqing Mountain!"
Shangguan Tong said.
"So what?"
Luo Hu asked.
"When we cross the Cangqing River, let the other people and horses slowly surround them, and we surround the rebels, you see, aren't there many mountains and forests over there, let's light a fire and burn the mountains and forests, so that they have nowhere to hide!"
"General Shangguan, this is a good idea, we will do as you say, hurry up and spread the book to the other people, and tell the other people to meet Luo Xu's cottage!"
The Chuxia National Salvation Army crossed the Cangqing River.
Jiang Zhaokuan said in a low voice: "King Xia, we have thrown so many things, how can we get them again in the future!" ”
"Jiang Zhaokuan, didn't you see it at the time, if I didn't agree to throw away the baggage, would those sergeants still listen to my command, they glared at me one by one!"
"King Xia, what should we do next?"
Jiang Zhaokuan changed the subject.
"We can hide in Luo Xu's cottage and then think of countermeasures!" Separate road.
"King Xia", Jiang Zhaokuan said in a low voice: "Lu Jingfei can obey your dispatch, but Feng Qingluan cannot, if you still want to master the Chu Xia National Salvation Army, you must execute Feng Qingluan!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" The complexion of the single opening changed slightly.
"How can I get rid of Feng Qingluan?"
"King Xia, Luo Hu's pursuers are coming, we can let Feng Qingluan lead some soldiers to ambush, let him break off, and kill him by Luo Hu's hand!"
"That's right!"
Shan Kaikai said that he called Lu Jingfei and Feng Qingluan.
"King Chu, you are familiar with the terrain of Cangqing Mountain, can I arrange a task for you?" Single open whisper.
"King Xia, what's the matter, just open it!" Feng Qingluan said.
"Luo Hu's pursuers are coming in front of you soon, can you lead a team of men and horses to resist for a while, and give us a little time to rest!"
"Yes, I am familiar with every grass and tree here, as long as King Xia commands, I will definitely complete the task!" Feng Qingluan said.
Lu Jingfei wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that it was by no means easy to ambush at this moment.
"Jiang Zhaokuan, you order a man for King Xia!" Single-opening commands.
Jiang Zhaokuan agreed, and then took the order to leave, and after a while, brought hundreds of people over.
"King Xia, these sergeants are willing to empress the palace!"
Feng Qingluan looked at the people and horses brought by Jiang Zhaokuan, all of them were yellow and thin, and they were all old and weak.
He only felt that his heart was tumbling with blood and qi.
"King Chu, I can only give you these horses, you have to drag Luo Hu as much as possible!"
Feng Qingluan did not argue, and said, "King Xia, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!" ”
Lu Jingfei hurriedly said: "King Xia, I don't think we need to be the queen of the palace, let's just retreat into the cottage quickly!" ”
Shan Kaikai glanced at Lu Jingfei.
"Lu Jingfei, there must be someone behind the palace, the king of Chu is familiar with the road, he naturally has a way to stop the Wu army!"
"King Xia, you hurry up and retreat to Luo Xu Cottage, but you can't stay there for a long time, my opinion is that it is best to go out of Cangqing Mountain, go to Ruinan County and meet He Qiuting, and re-establish the base area!"
Shan Kaikai agreed. Feng Qingluan led the team to the queen of the palace.
Looking at these old and weak sergeants, Feng Qingluan was full of emotion.
How could these sergeants resist Luo Hu's hundreds of thousands of troops.
"King Chu, I'm just a cook in the army, and I've never fought a war!" A veteran said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't fight, as long as you can burn a fire!" Feng Qingluan said.
"Of course I'll make a fire!" The veteran smiled, Feng Qingluan's words made him a lot happier.
Feng Qingluan asked everyone to stop.
"It is an impossible task for us to stop Luo Hu's men and horses, but don't be afraid, although we can't fight the Wu army head-on, we are familiar with the terrain here, and we can harass them!"
"King Chu, as long as we don't fight hard, we people are still of some use!"
Feng Qingluan looked at everyone and felt infinite emotion in her heart.
"Luo Hu's men and horses will arrive soon, if you see it, we will go to those hills and throw stones, throw them and run!" Feng Qingluan commanded.
The sergeants agreed and ambushed on the hill according to Feng Qingluan's orders.
The Luo Hu army has crossed the Cangqing River.
"President Luo, we must march slowly, step by step to win, and we must not be greedy for merit!" Shangguan Tong said.
"I understand this truth, I have ordered the other horses to walk slowly, step by step to win!"
Luo Hu instructed the sergeants not to be greedy for merit.
The people and horses entered the green mountains, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk.
Shangguan Tong commanded, watching the wind direction and igniting a fire, burning the mountains and forests in front of him.
The fire broke out in the wind, and the shrubs in the mountain forest were burned to the ground.
Shangguan Tong commanded to march with the fire, and wherever the fire burned, the army followed.
Suddenly, smoke billowed from the green mountains.
Feng Qingluan saw that Wu Jun was winning step by step, and he had no chance.
How can the Wu army be stopped from advancing?
He frowned.
"King Chu, they attack with fire, and we can also attack with fire!" An old soldier said.
"Now that the wind is against us, how can we attack with fire!" Feng Qingluan said.
"We can go around their side and light the fire in the direction of the wind!" The words of the old army reminded him.
"Yes, you're right, we know the terrain and go around their flanks and set fire!"
Immediately, Feng Qingluan quietly walked around the side of the Wu army with the sergeants.
"Ignition!" Feng Qingluan ordered to go down, and everyone lit the bushes in the forest.
The fire took advantage of the wind and burned to the side of Wu Jun.
Smoke billowing billowed out!
Luo Hu immediately understood that there was an attack on his flank.
"General Shangguan, there are chaotic troops on our flank!"
Shangguan Tong agreed, and quietly sent a team of men and horses to outflank him.
Because he was familiar with the terrain, Feng Qingluan closely monitored Wu Jun's every move.
Wu Jun came over, and he already knew it clearly.
"Listen to me, there aren't many people in this group, we can't eat them, we can scare them back!" Feng Qingluan said.
"What the king of Chu commands, we will do!"
Feng Qingluan asked everyone to retreat to a valley. The people lay in ambush on both sides of the valley.
He also asked dozens of sergeants to meet the Wu army, which was naturally used as bait to lure those Wu troops into the valley.
The dozens of sergeants ran in front of Wu Jun with great fanfare, and a burst of arrows shot over.
Wu Jun was caught off guard and was shot down a few times, and when he saw that there were only a few dozen of them, he was furious and chased after them viciously.
Soon, they entered the encirclement.
"Throw stones!" Feng Qingluan commanded, and everyone struggled to throw stones at Wu Jun.
The Wu army was ambushed and panicked for a while.
They didn't know how many men and horses were hiding in the mountains and forests, and they all retreated.
Feng Qingluan knew that he couldn't eat them, so he had to let them retreat.
"We must catch up with our large forces!" He thought to himself: "Wu Jun's tactics are very powerful, and we must quickly withdraw from Cangqing Mountain!" ”
Shan Kaili led the Chuxia National Salvation Army to Luo Xu's cottage.
"King Xia, we can't accommodate so many soldiers in our cottage!" Lu Jingfei said.
"Where can we go?" Shan Kaikai asked.
"When we arrived at the cottage, we had to go out of the cottage to the south, and we couldn't be surrounded in the cottage!"
While they were talking, someone came to report: "The King of Chu is back!" ”
Hearing the news, Shan Kaikai's face turned pale.
"King Xia, the Wu army has changed its tactics, step by step to win, we must take advantage of the fact that their encirclement has not yet been formed, and break out!"
Feng Qingluan said.
"Where are we going to break through?" Jiang Zhaokuan said: "King Chu, King Xia ordered you to break off, what are you doing here, have you already surrendered to the Wu army!" ”
"Jiang Zhaokuan, don't talk nonsense, I see that the Wu army has changed tactics, and we must also change the marching route, now we can't go to Luoxu Cottage, we must break through before the Wu army is encircled!"
"Feng Qingluan, you are talking nonsense, how do we break through, and where can we go after breaking through?"
"King Xia, Brother Lu, we must rush out before the Wu army encircles, there is a road here, leading to Suyang, we rush out from Suyang!"
"Suyang City is full of Wu Army, how can we get through!" Separate road.
"Although there is a Wu army in Suyang, the defense is weak, we can go to Suyang and cross the Sushui River!" Feng Qingluan argued with reason.
