Chapter 185: Victory in the first battle
Deep in the Taihe Mountains.
In a deep valley, a huge camp was erected.
Inside and outside the camp, from time to time, you can see fierce warriors with black lines tattooed on their faces and armed shields passing by in groups.
These people are the Taihe Lingshan Yue clan that the Chu court has not been able to purge since the founding of the Chu State.
In the deepest part of Dazhai, you can faintly hear the man's laughter.
"Master, replace wine with tea, toast master!"
A big man with a tiger's back and a strong aura all over his body sat on the main seat, holding a tea cup, and frequently raised his glass to the old monk sitting at the bottom.
"Amitabha."
The kind-eyed old monk announced the Buddha's name in a low voice, took a sip of tea, frowned without a trace, and said casually: "Ancestor leader, all the materials I promised have arrived, I don't know when the ancestor leader will send troops to fight against the tyranny?" ”
This old monk's Dharma name is Zhiding, and he is the elder of the medicine king of the Great Bodhi Temple.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, Qi Guo secretly contacted Shanyue and specially invited the Great Bodhi Temple to come forward.
And the elder of the medicine king, the old monk Zhiding, is the selected candidate of the Great Bodhi Temple.
Although the identity of the monk was shouted and killed in the Chu State, with his own martial arts and extremely low-key actions, Zhiding still came to Qiyang Mansion without danger, got in touch with Shanyue on Taihe Ridge, and with the help of Buddhist channels, transported the deposit of Qi State to Taihe Ridge, showing the sincerity of his side.
When Zu Ling heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Master Zhiding, rest assured, although I Shanyue don't know the number of courtesies, I also know the four words [words and letters]. Ben Shuai might as well make a secret with the master, for this incident. I, Yamagoe, have been secretly planning for several years. Now, it's ready to go. When the warriors of our clan bring back the last batch of ordnance, it will be the time for my Shanyue to do it! ”
Speaking of this, Zu Ling's face was full of complacent smiles.
"Calculating the time, they should have met with the Chu army who sent the ordnance. When this batch of ordnance is in hand, our mountain can be armed with more than 5,000 elite soldiers, and it will be easy to deal with the laxly armed southern provinces! ”
…………
Under the Taihe Ridge.
Hundreds of Chu troops crossed the mountains and mountains, heading towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
Suddenly, from the depths of the dense forest, Shanyue barbarian soldiers, who were several times more numerous than them, emerged and surrounded the Chu army.
"Throw the armor and weapons to the ground, you can get out!"
The Shanyue generals led by him spoke in the half-baked and stumbling official dialect of Chu, and said to the Chu army.
Although he knew that Lord Pan was transporting ordnance and materials to the tribe in this way, he expressed deep contempt for the Chu army's nest.
When there is an incident in my mountain, this kind of Chu army can be broken by destroying it!
However, unexpectedly, the general of the Chu army led by him exchanged glances with the deputy general beside him, frowned and asked:
"Vulnabarbarian, what you just said, I didn't hear it clearly, you might as well say it again!"
The barbarian became more and more impatient in his heart, and said in a muffled voice:
"Ben will say, throw your armor and weapons to the ground, and then you can roll, what, don't you want to try my Shanyue's force?"
After that, I couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly, the barbarian general's laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes were full of fire when he looked at the deputy general of the Chu army.
"Ling, stay for the general, and serve the general well. The rest of the people wait, hurry up and get out of Ben! ”
As he spoke, he waved his palm the size of a fan impatiently.
This Chu person has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, just like a woman, although he is a man, he doesn't know how many times better looking than those women in the clan.
This time, Ben will be considered blessed!
Dedicate him to the marshal, and after the marshal enjoys it, maybe he can still drink a sip of hot soup......
"Thief, Ben is going to die!"
Just as the barbarian general was dreaming, suddenly an angry shout came from his ear, and then, a silver light flashed from his field of vision, and then he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and then the consciousness of the whole person gradually became blurred.
It happened too suddenly, too quickly.
Looking at the figure of the main general falling to the ground, all the brute soldiers stayed in place as if they had pressed the pause button.
What they saw just now made them unable to react for a while.
Killing the barbarian general with one shot, Qin Liangyu snorted: "Everyone, kill the enemy with this general!" ”
As he spoke, Qin Liangyu, who was angry, shook his hands, and the white-pole gun in his hand burst out a little cold, and he looked at the surrounding barbarians under the hood.
This Nizi, killing is really heavy!
Seeing that Qin Liangyu took the lead, Kan Ling, who was the main general, complained in his heart, lifted the horse chopping knife that was more than a foot long, and cut several barbarians in front of him in half with one sword.
"Kill!"
Kan Ling and Qin Liangyu took the lead, and the rest of the Chu army suddenly increased their morale, shouting and killing the surrounding barbarians.
The main general was dead, and was caught off guard by the other side, and the barbarians could barely resist by relying on the numerical advantage at first, but as time passed, the drawbacks of losing command gradually appeared, and the entire defense line was crushed and flattened under the fierce offensive of the Chu army, and finally completely collapsed.
The barbarians threw their corpses behind and fled into the woods, crying out.
"It's fucking fun! If you don't kill a few more thieves, grandpa's knife will be rusty. ”
Pulling the horse chopping knife out of the neck of a brute, Kan Ling only felt extremely happy.
Sure enough, he is still the most suitable rough person like himself on the battlefield.
Kan Ling instructed everyone according to the predetermined plan: "Pass the order, don't chase the poor." Let the various departments count the manpower, bury the corpses, and then withdraw to Taihe City. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Liangyu on the side.
"General Qin, did your white pole guard spill out?"
Qin Liangyu spat fiercely on the corpse of the barbarian general who was stabbed by himself, and said, "General Kan, don't worry, I have already ordered it to go down." Although this Shanyue is like walking on the ground in the mountains and forests, the white pole guard was personally selected and trained by me in Miao Jiang. In terms of familiarity with the mountains and forests, Yamagoe and Baipolewei are almost comparable. ”
The white pole guard was trained by Qin Liangyu in leaving Miao Jiang, there were only about 100 people, except for 20 female soldiers guarding a group of concubines in the palace, the remaining more than 80 people, all of them were taken by Qin Liangyu in this battle and acted as personal guards.
At this time, the white pole guard was sent out in order to follow the defeated army and find Shanyue's lair in the Taihe Ridge.
Seeing Qin Liangyu say this, Kan Ling nodded, and didn't say more, just asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and withdraw to Taihe City.
…………
"What do you say? was attacked by the Chu people, and Jin Kui Na was even beheaded by the other party's generals on the spot? ”
In the camp, Zu Ling, who got the news, almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
These days, the Chu army, which has always been in ruins, dares to fight back?
"Ancestor Leader, in the eyes of the old man, maybe something has happened in Taihe City."
The bystanders were clear, and the old monk Zhiding saw the problem at a glance.
"Over there in Taihe City? Worst! ”
Zu Ling's face suddenly changed when he thought of something, but then, he quickly relaxed again.
"Master, it doesn't matter, Taihe City has been under the governance of Pan Taishou in recent years, and the defense of the armed city has become increasingly lax. Even if the court of Chu was prepared, it was too late to arrange it for a while. This Qiyang Mansion is far away from the emperor of the sky! ”
While the two were talking, a strong man with tangled muscles opened the curtain and walked into the camp, and after seeing Zuling, he hurriedly pushed Jinshan to kneel on the ground like a jade pillar, and cried in his mouth:
"Zu Shuai, my brother Jin Kui was killed by General Chu! Please take Jin Gan as the vanguard, break the Chu army first, and then take revenge on your brother! ”
Jin Gan and Jin Kui are brothers, and they have supported each other to get to where they are today, and the two have a deep relationship. Now that his brother Jin Kui has been killed, Jin Gan, who is the younger brother, naturally wants to avenge his brother.
As a result, there was a scene where Jin Gan took the initiative to invite Ying to serve as a pioneer.
Zu Ling laughed and helped Jin Gan up, and said:
Jin Kui was attacked and killed by the Chu army, and Ben Shuai also hated him. Now, my Shanyue soldiers are sufficient, and they are about to start an incident. The Jingan brothers are strong in martial arts and are willing to be pioneers, and it is too late for Ben Shuai to be happy, how can there be any reason to refuse! ”
The tribes of Shanyue are not completely monolithic.
Although the tribe of Zuling is the most powerful among the tribes, he also has to take care of the other tribes.
Jin Gan and Jin Kui's clan strength is enough to enter the top five among many tribes, and they have always been neutral on weekdays, and they are not too close to Zuling.
Jin Kui's younger brother Jin Gan is one of the rare masters in Shanyue.
Now because of Jin Kui's death, Jin Gan is willing to look at his own horse.
This is indeed a good thing for Zuling.
With the support of Jin Gan, the entire Shanyue has the greatest influence in Zuling.
"Gather the heads of all the clans to discuss the matter."
Zu Ling faced a group of leaders and said impassionedly:
"Now that the state of Chu is in a state of exhaustion, this is a good opportunity granted to me by God. If you don't send troops at this time, you will be damned! ”
"I'm willing to follow Zu Shuai!"
"The rise of Shanyue is at this time!"
The tribes of Shanyue were already dissatisfied with the current status quo, and Zuling was so agitated that people's hearts suddenly boiled.
Therefore, the various departments of Shanyue elected Zuling as the commander of the great sect, gathered 50,000 troops, went out of Taihe Ridge, and attacked Taihe City.
Zuling's goal is very clear, first conquer Taihe City, and then take Taihe City as the center to plunder the surrounding towns.
This plan is a good plan if nothing else, but this plan is not unexpectedly unexpected at the beginning.
After learning of Shanyue's rebellion, Zhao Yun decisively played the banner of his Pingnan king, and led 1,000 Baipole elite soldiers, 1,000 Danyang elite soldiers, 3,000 elite infantry soldiers, as well as 5,000 government soldiers and 500 cavalry, a total of 10,000 troops, out of the city to meet Shanyue.
These 5,000 soldiers were urgently trained by Zhao Yun to train the soldiers in the city.
Their combat power is not high, when they are auxiliaries, it is okay to fight against the wind, but if they fight against the wind, it is not at all.
However, Zhao Yun did not pin his hopes on these undertrained soldiers, and the more than 5,000 soldiers brought from Shenjing City were his confidence.
The Chu army set up camp, and Zhao Yun got the news of Tanma, saying that Shanyue gathered 50,000 troops and went out of Taihe Ridge, and the soldiers were divided into two roads and came to this side.
After Zhao Yun heard this, he summoned Liu Renliang into the account to discuss the strategy against the enemy.
Not long after, Liu Renliang came out of the tent and only summoned Kan Ling and Qin Liangyu into the tent.
Zhao Yun saw the two of them and instructed: "Now the Shanyue barbarian soldiers are divided into two ways to attack Taihe City. Among the generals, General Lin has the highest martial arts. Ben Shuai originally wanted General Lin to be the vanguard and go out of the village to meet the enemy. It's just that I thought that General Lin was a Qi person and came to the south, I was afraid that he would not be accustomed to the water and soil, and he didn't know geography, so he thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to be too big. General Kan Ling led 2,000 men to the left to meet the enemy, General Qin led 2,000 men to the right to meet the enemy, and the commander then led 4,000 men and horses to respond. As for General Lin, let him and Liu join the army to guard the village. ”
The two will follow the plan.
However, when Lin Chong learned the news, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and came to see Zhao Yun in person, only saying that although he was a Qi person, he had also followed His Majesty to the south to conquer Miaojiang, and the southern climate was not a big problem for him, so he only wanted to lead the army to fight.
Zhao Yun said: "General Lin is loyal to the country, and the marshal knows it. It's just that Shanyue has always been cunning, and if the general is plotted by the barbarians, I'm afraid he will lose this sharpness. Therefore, General Lin still stuck to the camp with Liu Shenjun. As for meeting the enemy, Ben Shuai has his own arrangements. ”
When Lin Chong heard this, although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he thought of the identity of Zhao Yun's prince, so he had to clench his fists and say goodbye.
Back in the tent, Lin Chong thought about it and became more and more impatient.
In the end, he couldn't help it, and invited Liu Renliang to come, and Beiyan was depressed in his heart.
Liu Renliang said with a smile: "The general competes against Qi monks on the stage, and this official has also heard of one or two. General Lin's martial arts, whether he is under or handsome, are well known. It is not impossible for the marshal to have a deep meaning. ”
"Liu joins the army," Lin Chong said with a wry smile, "Although he is a martial artist, he has no idea of fighting for merit." It's just that if Kan Ling and Qin Liangyu make great achievements in the future, Lin Chong will not achieve an inch. When he returned to the capital, how could Lin Chong have the face to meet his colleagues and see the saint? ”
Seeing Lin Chong's earnest words, Liu Renliang thought for a while and said, "What General Lin said is also human nature. In my opinion, it is better for General Lin to only take dozens of personal guards and go out of the camp to investigate. Catch the barbarian sentry and ask Ming Shanyue to arrange, maybe there is a chance to make a contribution. ”
Lin Chong was overjoyed when he heard this, and after thanking Liu Renliang, he only took five or six personal guards, quietly left the camp, and went to the direction of Shanyue on the horse path.
A few people walked less than seven or eight miles, and they saw dust not far away.
Lin Chong took his guards up the hillside and looked into the distance, only to see dozens of horsemen riding on horseback.
Lin Chong was overjoyed, rode his horse and raised his gun, and led his guards to rush down the hillside.
Where are those brute soldiers Lin Chong's opponents, each of them has been back and forth for less than five rounds, and most of the casualties on Shanyue's side have been killed, and Lin Chong and his personal guards, only one of them was slightly injured.
Seeing this, the remaining scouts were immediately discouraged and fled one after another.
Lin Chong caught up with his horse, lightly stretched his ape arm, grabbed a person, and threw him to the ground.
The brute soldier was thrown to pieces, and was about to struggle to get up, when several of Lin Chong's personal guards had already arrived and tied him into a dumpling.
The cycle repeated, and in the blink of an eye, three or four people had been caught.
Lin Chong stopped, took a few prisoners back to his tent in the camp, entertained them with good wine and food, and asked about Shanyue's arrangement.
The people of Shanyue have no faith at all, and now in order to survive, they naturally have to answer questions.
It turned out that a few miles away from the Chu army camp, there was a valley where troops could be stationed, and the forward Jingan camp was built at the mouth of the valley.
