Chapter 723: The Stone Garrison is here
Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, was resting in a deserted monastery called Gudu Temple.
A few days ago, Chen Qiyu ordered 2,000 guards, plus his own soldiers, to send troops to rescue Yanchang County.
Originally, it was an official road, but as I walked, I ran into a small stream of rogues.
Of course I want to kill Kou!
As soon as Chen Qiyu chased after him, it was terrible.
The thief army lured him around, and he was introduced into the ravine-crisscrossed suburbs of Yanchang County, and then, Chen Qiyu fell into the same trouble as the Gao family villagers.
If you don't send scouts, you wouldn't dare to mess through such a ravine.
But the scouts may not be able to return after they are sent out.
Many scouts didn't even have time to issue a warning, and they were plotted by the thieves and died in the ravine.
Some of the scouts managed to climb the hill with great difficulty, but unexpectedly, a group of rogues came out of the top of the hill, and a large rock was smashed on the scout's head, and the poor scout died tragically down the slope.
It's a tough battle!
Not to mention that Chen Qiyu is difficult to beat, the Kuomintang X Party of later generations is here, and when they encounter our party's "Northern Shaanxi Guerrillas", they are also beaten to the point of crying and crying for their mother.
In the era when science and technology are not developed enough, how can it be so easy to overcome the disadvantages of terrain?
Chen Qiyu's command was not a group of elite soldiers, but a group of low-morale guards, and once such difficulties were encountered, the morale of the entire army collapsed extremely seriously.
The whole army was afraid of war.
Many people now just want to go back to Yan'an Mansion quickly, and don't want to continue to go to Yanchang County, regardless of whether they are dead or alive in Yanchang County.
"Lord Governor, let's just withdraw to Yan'an Mansion." General Luo Xi said: "Then we can't save the county seat." ”
Chen Qiyu was angry: "Nonsense! We just need to retreat to the side of the official road, and then go along the official road to extend the county seat. ”
Luo Xi: "The official road also has to pass through such hilly and ravines, even if we return to the official road, the situation will not change, and we will be ambushed by thieves along the way." The soldiers have long lost their will to fight, and it is a dead end to go on like this. ”
Chen Qiyu: "! ”
As the two of them were talking this, a scream suddenly sounded on the top of the hill in the distance, and a scout who was arranged on the top of the hill fell with an arrow, and then rolled down the hillside.
Another scout has been attacked.
As soon as the two of them thought of this, they felt that something was wrong, this time it was not just a sneak attack scout, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in the ravine in the north, and a large group of rogues rushed out of the ravine.
The scouts who had been arranged in this ditch early didn't send back any news, and it seems that the rogues came from this ditch after ambushing and killing the scouts.
Chen Qiyu swiped the ground and jumped up: "Fight!" ”
But as soon as he shouted these two words, he found that the soldiers around him were not facing the enemy, but were breaking in the opposite direction.
Chen Qiyu chuckled in his heart: Oops! Morale is gone.
General Luo Xi yelled, and the soldiers of the Luo family surrounded him, protecting Luo Xi and Chen Qiyu, and Chen Qiyu's own soldiers also surrounded him.
Both of their families are shouting: "Master, retreat!" ”
"The guards have collapsed, and they can't stand it by relying on our two families."
Chen Qiyu was very angry, but he had no choice but to retreat to the south under the protection of his family.
Not long after retreating, another shout sounded in the ravine in the south, and another army of thieves came out.
When the officers and men who were disrupting to the south heard this, they were frightened, turned around and ran into the ditch to the west.
But the shouts of the rogue were also heard in the west, and then in the east......
All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing everywhere in all directions.
The deserted little Gudu Temple, since it was built, I have never seen so many people.
The half-smashed Buddha statue in the temple and the severed neck seemed to be grinning.
Chen Qiyu: "Is there a mistake? With so many bandits, our scouts didn't react at all? ”
General Roshi: "In this broken place, our scouts are useless. Don't scold, Lord Governor, let's run, relying on the combat power of our two families, choose a ravine with few thieves and kill it, maybe it will work. ”
Although the guards collapsed, the soldiers of the Luo and Chen families did not collapse, and they were still very brave.
The two chose the southeast direction with the least thieves and rushed forward.
The family members were not afraid of death, and they slashed indiscriminately, rushing forward desperately.
However, even in the ravines with the fewest thieves, the number of thieves is still very large, layer upon layer, piling up in the ravines.
Although the family is brave, it is not easy to kill them.
And if the rogue in front is not cleared, the pursuers behind will surround them, and they will attack on both sides, and Chen Luo and the others will only have one way to die.
The two of them panicked.
That's when ......
Suddenly the sound of firecrackers sounded in the ravine ahead.
"Woohoo!"
There was a commotion, and then the rogue in front of him was in chaos.
Luo Xi was overjoyed: "Someone killed from the front, who came to help us, but now the rogue in front of us is suffering from the enemy." ”
Chen Qiyu also perked up: "The one who came at this time must be the Hejin garrison, Shi Jian." ”
Roshi perked up and ordered: "Rush, rush forward, and merge with the reinforcements as soon as possible." ”
The family members sweated profusely: "Master, you can't rush, the reinforcements are fighting the thieves with firearms, we will rush into the thieves, and we will be defeated by the firecrackers of our own family." We'll just hold a formation for a while. ”
Roshi: "Huh? ”
Chen Qiyu found out that this thing is not yet his own family can fight.
The family members stopped running around, and just blocked the front and back in the small ravine, and held on.
The sound of fire guns came from the southeast, and the sound kept ringing, and the thieves in the ravine in front of Chen Luo and the others became more and more panicked.
Behind them, there was a fire gun team from Gaojia Village coming over, and no one could stop the fire gun soldiers in a single move. ran to this side, but was blocked by Chen Qiyu and Luo Xi.
These thieves are as if they have dug a trap for themselves and gotten into it themselves, completely with no way to heaven and no door to the ground, and they are wrapped in it alive.
A large group of bandits dropped their weapons, knelt by the walls on both sides of the ravine, surrendered, and did not dare to resist again.
And those who refused to surrender fell one after another with the sound of fire.
After a while, Chen Qiyu finally saw the appearance of the reinforcements, and as he expected, the people who came were the "officers and soldiers" led by Shi Jian, the garrison of Hejin.
The "officers and soldiers" on this road are incredible, and everyone has a firearm in their hands.
As if the autumn wind swept to the ground, it swept away the rogues in the ravine, leaving only a trembling thief kneeling on the side of the mountain wall.
Shi Jian came to Chen Qiyu on his horse and arched his hand: "Lord Governor, the end is coming." ”
Chen Qiyu was overjoyed: "The stone guard is really timely!" It's a coincidence, I just came from this ravine, and if I go through another ravine, I'm afraid it will be ......."
