Chapter 13: Dispatch of Troops

Guan Shanyue ordered Chu Liuyun to stay at the helm and learn from Guo Jin how to deal with help.

That night, Chu Liuyun was temporarily arranged by Guo Jin to rest in the helper's study. Chu Liuyun was tired and was about to turn off the lights to rest, but he heard a noisy sound outside the door, and only one person asked, "Has Brother Chu rested?" ”

Chu Liuyun heard that it was Guo Jin's voice. When I opened the door, I saw that it was Guo Jin outside the door. Behind him, there were six people who were tied up by the Five Flowers, and behind him were dozens of disciples of the Dragon Guardian Gang standing with swords.

Guo Jin said: "These people climbed over the wall and were caught by the patrolling brothers, they asked to see you by name, do you know them?" ”

Chu Liuyun looked at the six people, who were the few people who robbed the road during the day. Thinking that it is better to settle the dispute, he immediately said: "Know, know, please let Deputy Guo help the leader let them go." ”

Guo Jin glanced at them and untied the six of them.

The man in gray said, "Thank you Chu Shaoxia for saving me, please come with us." ”

Chu Liuyun couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that he had just saved you, but you had to make inches. Hearing that he insisted on seeing his master by himself, he immediately became interested and said, "Who is your master?" ”

Several people looked at each other, and the man in gray said: "I'll tell you the truth, our master is the four heroes of the East China Sea." ”

"The four heroes of the East China Sea, what a big deal," Guo Jin said: "It's a pity that my Dragon Protector Gang doesn't take them seriously." This is the Dragon Protector Gang stronghold, a few please! ”

With a wave of his hand, he gave the order to expel the guests, and several people had to leave in a huff.

Guo Jin asked, "Brother Chu knows the four heroes of the East China Sea?" ”

Chu Liuyun shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Guo Jin said: "But these people know Brother Chu well." ”

The two glanced at each other, but they were both puzzled about this matter.

The east wind blows

The drums of war beat

Beauty drunk

Pan Jun returned

Good news

The strong man returns

In the eastern suburbs of Beijing, in the parade field, twenty large flags went straight into the clouds, and the flags fluttered in the wind. There are ten large flags on the left, with a big "Guan" written on them. The other ten sides are written with the word "willow". Each banner has a golden dragon hovering over it.

The 20,000 elite soldiers were divided into 20 phalanxes, horizontal and vertical, neat and powerful, without the slightest disorder. Some of these phalanxes made swords and shields, some made spears, and some made long swords. The blade flashed with cold light under the reflection of the scorching sun. The wind rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost. An army of 20,000 people, except for the sound of the wind and the occasional neighing of horses, there was no other sound!

The two generals stood majestically on the platform. The person on the left is wearing armor, wearing a red cloak, eight feet tall, with a lofty spirit, and no anger between his eyebrows, it is Guan Shanyue, the leader of the Dragon Guardian Gang.

The person on the right is broad, dressed in armor and wearing a silver helmet, and is the general of the court, An Yuanhou Liusheng.

After three horns, there was a sound of drums. Guan Shanyue said loudly: "Today, I am ordered by heaven to conquer the rebels and clarify the universe. After raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, the time has come for us to serve the court and make meritorious contributions. ”

20,000 soldiers, led by the heralds, shouted in unison: "Serve the court and make meritorious contributions!" Serve the imperial court and make meritorious contributions......"

Its sound is shocking, the momentum is like a rainbow, resounding in the sky, and it will not stop for a long time......

Guan Shanyue waved his hand, and the sound stopped, and only the sound of the wind and horses roared.

I only heard Guan Shanyue say: "Today, I will divide into two routes with General Liu's soldiers, and each will point 10,000 elite soldiers." 10,000 brothers followed me to the border pass to quell the rebellion, and 10,000 brothers followed General Liu to exterminate the rebels of the White Lotus Sect. Brothers, please accept General Liu's troops! He stretched out his right palm and gestured to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "It's better for the Taiping King first." ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Then I'm not welcome." ”

Then, Guan Shanyue shouted loudly: "Brothers, listen to the seal, this expedition is based on the loyal hall master and the third-rate military division. ”

Then Feng Wanping divided the helm, and Ma Qiankun was the vanguard of the left wing.

Zhao Xinxin, the helmsman of Shunyi, was the vanguard of the right wing.

Xie Jian, the helmsman of Daxing, is a former general.

Lin Tong, the helmsman of Changping, was the rear general.

Guan Shan Yue must be ordered to gather 10,000 soldiers and horses. The big and small generals are in place, orderly, and commanding the army, such as the body makes the arm, the arm makes the hand, and the hand makes the finger.

Liu Sheng galloped the frontier for 40 years, and went out five times from the driver, conquered Annan, swept Mobei, won a hundred battles, bravely crowned the three armies, and made meritorious contributions to the imperial court. Naturally, he is used to seeing big scenes, but Guan Shanyue ordered troops so quickly, and the soldiers cooperated so freely, he was really ashamed.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The Dragon Protector Gang has strict discipline, which is better than the division of the imperial court. If it protects the dragon and helps the heart of disobedience, it will become a great disaster. When the White Lotus Sect is exterminated, His Majesty must be played to get rid of the Dragon Protector Gang!

The grain and grass were distributed, and Guan Shanyue and Liu Shengbing were divided into two routes. They marched to Xuanfu Town and Shandong respectively.

As soon as he left the Beijing Division, the military division suggested that only 5,000 cavalry should be left behind, and his 5,000 infantry was disbanded on the spot. Because the soldiers are fast and the infantry is too slow, it is better to let the General Command Division pass the order and take troops from the rudders near Xuanfu Town.

The idea of breaking the third rate was bold, and when he met the bold Guan Shanyue, he immediately agreed.

The 5,000 cavalry rested for only two hours a day, and arrived at Xuanfu Town early in the morning of the third day.

Xuanfu Town is bounded by the Great Wall, and the Great Wall under its jurisdiction starts from Yongguan Sihaizhi in the east, reaches the Xiyang River in the west, and is 1,000 and 23 miles long. Located in the northwest of Xindu, it is extremely important to protect the security of Xindu. The town is divided into four roads: east, west, north and middle. The Sihaizhi of the East Road and the Geyu of the Middle Road are all important passes, among which the Dushikou of the North Road is the most important, which can be called the throat point.

Guan Shanyue took a short rest, and a spy hurriedly came to report: "Gang leader, Liaodong rudder, Jizhou rudder, Xuanfu rudder, Datong rudder, Taiyuan rudder, Yansui rudder, Ningxia rudder, Guyuan rudder, Gansu rudder gathered 8,000 elite soldiers, stationed twenty miles away from here, and waited for the help master to give orders at any time. ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Okay, I know,"

He turned his head to the third stream and said: "The spies came to report, Quan Qitian claimed to be an army of 100,000, and the troops were divided into nine routes, threatening to take the important towns on the nine sides. What does the military advisor think? Where will his main force hit? ”

Broken Sanliu said: "He claimed that the army of 100,000 was bluffing. I conclude that his army will never exceed 30,000. It was his ecstasy plan to threaten to attack the Nine Sides at the same time, and his main force was to attack Dushikou. ”

Although the third rate is greedy for money, he is a strategist who is proficient in the art of war. Guan Shanyue was not informal, but let him be a military advisor, just to make him meritorious service and atone for his crimes.

How shrewd the third stream is, he naturally knows Guan Shanyue's intentions. I only heard him continue: "Dushikou is an important pass in Xuanfu Town. Monolith City is between the two rivers flowing in the north-south direction, the left is the Huanglong River, the right is the Qinglong River, and the back is the Spider Mountain. Dushikou is the north gate of the Ming Dynasty. It has always been a battleground for soldiers. I conclude that the main force of the whole strange sky will attack the Dushikou. ”

Guan Shanyue nodded and said, "Pass the order, and the army will go to Dushikou to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" Break the third-stream return channel.

The words were divided into two ends, and Quan Qitian really launched an attack on Dushikou. The imperial court had 150,000 troops guarding the nine sides, but the forces were too scattered. Tan Guang, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu who guarded Dushikou, only had a few thousand troops under his command. Although Dushikou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it cannot withstand the repeated attacks of Quanqitian. Now there are only a few thousand remnants left in Dushikou, and they are powerless to resist in the face of the wolf-like Warat army.

Standing on the city gate and commanding the battle, it was Tan Guang. At the beginning of Jianwen, he raised troops from King Yan, repeatedly moved to command envoys, stayed in Baoding with a lone army, and resisted the enemy for more than 40 days. Yongle entered Daning in the ninth year to command the affairs. Regained the Shenji Battalion, repeatedly marched from the north, and served as a cavalry general. In the twelfth year, he entered the capital to supervise the affairs, and then sat in Xuanfu Town and led the general army.

Tan Guang knew that Dushikou would inevitably be lost, and he was ready to burn the warehouse. In this round of attacks, Mo Xian, the great son of the whole strange sky, was the striker. There are nine righteous sons in Quanqitian, and the eldest disciple Mo Xianshan is good at making iron hammers. The hammer weighs eighty, the strength is outstanding, the charge is unstoppable. Seeing that Mo Xian was about to kill the city, Tan Guang looked up to the sky and sighed, and was about to order the burning of the warehouse. But he heard the spies report: "General, our reinforcements are coming." ”

Tan Guangji looked south, only to see that the crowds were crowded, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and sure enough, the help had arrived. Tan Guangda was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Open the city to meet the enemy!" ”

The gate opened, and Ma Qiankun, the left forward, and Zhao Xinxin, the right forward, led 5,000 cavalry to rush out.

Mo Xian saw the city gate wide open, thinking that Tan Guang was going to fight to the death, and he was rejoicing. Unexpectedly, 5,000 cavalry rushed out of the city like a flood of beasts.

Mo Xian was beheaded by Ma Qiankun, the left forward, and the 5,000 infantry under his command were scattered by the cavalry, and they were unable to form an army.

Ma Qiankun still wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Zhao Xinxin: "Poor Kou Mo chase, the terrain ahead is dangerous, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, let's go back and resume our lives." ”

Repelled the fierce enemy, Tan Guang was overjoyed: "If it weren't for the rescue of the Taiping King, Dushikou would have been lost." ”

Guan Shanyue listened and said, "General Tan has worked hard. ”

Tan Guangdao: "Now that there are 20,000 elite soldiers under the command of Quanqitian, he will not give up." ”

Guan Shanyue nodded and said, "The terrain here is narrow, and the cavalry can't give full play to their advantages. If his whole army attacks, we will still defend it. ”

"That's right," Broken Sanliu said: "The monolith mouth is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Quanqitian is already a tired army, and only five thousand elite soldiers are needed to be foolproof." Besides, we have 8,000 elite soldiers behind us. ”

When Quan Weitian heard that his old enemy, Guan Shanyue, the king of Taiping, had come to the rescue, he immediately ordered the eight famous sons to take turns to attack the city. It's bound to be a shame!

Guanshanyue has both offense and defense, and the enemy attacks the city, so he fights against the enemy in the danger of Dushikou. When the enemy is exhausted, he will go out of the city and clear it. The generals used by Guan Shanyue are all guilty. They are eager to make meritorious contributions to atone for their sins, and they are even more unstoppable and courageous in the battle. Quanqitian attacked the city several times, and failed miserably one after another, and three more sons of Quanqitian were killed one after another. Losing four names in a row in one day, it was all strange and angry, and he immediately decided to attack the city himself!
