182 Withdraw troops for hundreds of miles

On August 23, the sky was slightly bright.

Liang Song was woken up by a soak of urine, and after relieving his hands, he dressed and washed under the service of the maid.

He's in a good mood because he's doing it right.

Since the Heavenly Master Thief swept the north and threatened Qingzhou, Liang Song has carefully studied the Heavenly Master Thief, the Heavenly Master Thief is not invincible, the reason why he can be like a bamboo all the way at present, is that he is powerful, and he is the people's heart.

But if what the thief has done today, he has lost the support of the people, and the people's will has been broken, then it will be broken.

The Heavenly Master Thief has swept up to this day, and the momentum is already very large and majestic, and it is not an overnight thing to break through, but it is not a particularly difficult thing.

How did the other party's momentum rise?

It was the accumulation of victories one after another, and the incompetence and rout of the officers and soldiers brought to them.

If you want to break the momentum, you just need to beat them, but it's not enough to win one game, but if you win two games in a row, three games, not more, they will be scared and panic.

The Heavenly Master Thief has lost the hearts of the people and does not have enough background, in this case, if the court does not do it, the Heavenly Master Thief himself will fall apart.

Throughout history, all dynasties, but whenever there is a large-scale rebellion, this has happened.

And if he wants to win, he has to relax the vigilance of the other party, he first releases false news, and then shows the enemy weakness, and then lures the enemy step by step into the ambush circle he has arranged.

Yesterday afternoon's victory proved that his strategy had paid off.

For the rest, as long as the turtles that have entered the urn are captured and killed, one by one.

As for his strategy, will the people of Yuzhou suffer?

He thought about it, but he didn't particularly care.

For the seven famous families, the death of the people at the bottom is more than mentioned.

In his opinion, as long as the overall situation is victorious, the court wins, and the people's deaths are worth it.

Moreover, as long as he exterminated the Heavenly Master thieves who went deep into Yuzhou, he would be regarded as avenging these victimized people.

Even, he can use this to win a wave of people's hearts.

Make Yuzhou more peaceful.

Taking the folded dry towel handed by the maid, Liang Song wiped the water stains on his hands and muttered, "Yesterday's battle situation should also be counted." ”

Da da da.

At this moment, a guard with armor came over, came to Liang Song, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists, and said urgently: "My lord, it's not good, last night when General Guan took the Xuanbao Cavalry to pursue the thief leader, he encountered an ambush in Luoqing Mountain, and more than 100 horsemen were killed and wounded. General Guan was killed by a hidden arrow, and at present, General Guan's body has been transported back by the Xuan Leopard Cavalry. ”

"What?" The towel in Liang Song's hand fell to the ground, and his face changed greatly.

……

In the main hall of the Yamen, the Xuanbao cavalry soldiers who followed General Guan last night had gathered here, and in the middle of them, there was a corpse covered with a white cloth, their faces were tired and embarrassed, and their eyes revealed sadness.

Da-da-da

The sound of footsteps sounded, and the Xuanbao cavalry soldiers suddenly looked at the figure walking in the back hall.

"Your Excellency."

"Your Excellency."

β€œ.”

Liang Song waved his hand, led his subordinates, and came to the corpse covered with a white cloth, squatted down and lifted the white cloth, and those who had not seen General Guan's corpse before suddenly screamed.

I saw that the corpse's eyes were wide open, and there was a broken arrow stuck in the door of the head, and the death was terrifying.

Liang Song mobilized his innate aura, and it took some effort to pull the broken arrow out of the corpse's head.

When Liang Song looked at the arrow and observed the blood hole in his head for a while, the soldier next to him also described the situation last night.

"In other words, the person who assassinated General Guan only shot two arrows, one arrow knocked General Guan off his horse, and one arrow took his life."

"That's right, this dark arrow will turn around and turn around."

"This is just an unusual arrow, it seems that the strength of this person who shoots the dark arrow must be above General Guan, and it is very likely that he is the commander of the Heavenly Master Thief." Liang Song analyzed, as for the arrow that can turn, it is not uncommon for him, some martial arts, and even the use of innate aura, can do it.

Even Liang Song can do it better than the one who shoots the dark arrow.

After the analysis, Liang Song hurriedly came to the map, picked up a red chess piece, and placed it in the position of Luoqing Mountain.

"Behind this is Yangcheng, and after this is Tianshui Town. Urge General Xu and General Qin, they are the closest to these two counties, if the war on their side is over, let them immediately lead their troops to Yangcheng and Tianshui Town, and be sure to block this thief army. ”

Liang Song raised his head as he spoke, looked around, and said categorically: "Pass my order, Wang Meng, you take 3,000 men and horses, follow me out of Shiling County, and drive them to Yangcheng." ”

"No."

……

August 24th, afternoon.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, smoke and dust billowed from the ground outside the Fallen Horse City, several siege vehicles were paralyzed on the plain, blood stained the moat red, and the corpses were piled up in a thick layer under the city walls.

The captured thieves had a hemp rope tied to their hands and feet, and hundreds of Heavenly Master thieves were driven into the city by the Yuzhou army.

"Hurry up, be honest." The elder brother of a soldier of Yuzhou Army, who died at the hands of the Heavenly Master Thief in the previous battle, saw a Heavenly Master Thief walking behind him slowly, and immediately kicked it.

The Heavenly Master thieves were defenseless, and one of them did not stand firmly, so they fell forward, as if it was because of the growth of a dragon, the Heavenly Master thieves in front of them were dominoes, and they fell into a row.

"Get it all up for me." The hands of the Heavenly Master thieves were stained with the blood of their comrades, so the Yuzhou army did not show any mercy, and when they saw them fall, they directly whipped them up again and again.

On the city wall, the banner of the word "Dai" of the Heavenly Master and Thief has been replaced by the dragon flag of the imperial court, Xu Jie looked at the scene that happened outside the city, and immediately scolded: "Stop." ”

Xu Jie's strategy is to kill, kill less, and try not to kill, since the thief leader is dead, the following group of thieves are all surrendering, then the main thing is to pacify, and the back is reorganized into an army, which is also a combat force.

Hearing the general's reprimand, the Yuzhou army below relented.

"General, the inventory has been completed, and a total of more than 6,000 enemies have been annihilated, including Dai Wangmin, the general of the thief army, and the two commanders and deputies. More than 3,700 people were taken prisoner, and our army suffered 423 casualties. ”

The deputy general in charge of the inventory came to Xu Jie's side and reported.

After speaking, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xu Jie, asking him to wipe the blood on his face.

"Newspaperβ€”"

Suddenly, a newspaper officer hurriedly ran up to the city, came to Xu Jie's face, and before he had time to take a breath, he said: "General Xu, Lord Liang is in a hurry, order your department to lead troops to Tianshui Town at this moment to block a thief army retreating from Luoqing Mountain."

After finishing speaking, the announcer handed the original emergency letter to Xu Jie.

After Xu Jie finished reading it, his face changed greatly: "Guan Weihai was actually shot by the thief army. ”

"What, General Guan is dead?" The adjutant general was also shocked.

You must know that Guan Weisheng, Qin Lang and Xu Jie are all the three major generals under Liang Song, and they are also the generals of the Liang family, and the exercises and martial arts they have learned are far stronger than their peers, but now they are actually dead in the hands of the thief army.

"My lord suspects that it is the hand of the Heavenly Master thief, and he ordered us to block their back road."

Xu Jie took a deep breath and said, "Pass on my generals and go to Tianshui Town immediately." ”

On the other side, Qin Lang was also in a hurry from Liang Song.

Qin Lang's ambush led by him did not break the thief army, because the thief army actually saw that he had an ambush here, and did not enter the urn, just as he was thinking about how to annihilate this enemy army, he received an urgent letter from Liang Song, asking him to lead the troops to Yangcheng.

Qin Lang was also unlucky, and when he led the army to Yangcheng, he pounced and asked the local people, only to learn that the thief army had passed in the morning, and it was already afternoon.

August 26.

At three or four o'clock in the morning, it was still dark.

After the ambush in Luoqing Mountain, Chen Mo took the men and horses of the two guards to retreat all the way, and hurried all night.

When he killed the Hujie army in Luoqing Mountain before, Chen Mo asked Huokou that they were ambushed at Shiling Pass, and only a few hundred people escaped from the Hujie army, which can be imagined that this is a long-planned conspiracy.

And after Chen Mo read the map from Yuan Youchun, he found that from Shiling County to the east, there is a Shiling Mountain Pass, and there are big mountains on the left and right, although there are many small roads, but there is only one middle road for the march, also known as a line of sky, a good ambush place.

And this first-line opening, one is in Shiling County, and the other is in Tianshui Town, these two openings are dead, and the people who are blocked inside are a dead end.

In the absence of the map before, Chen Mo didn't know this at all, and kept moving forward stupidly, after reading the map, his soul was scared out, how dare he stay here.

Although his personal strength is far beyond ordinary people, but in terms of the ability to lead troops, at most he is an entry, compared with these real generals, he was thrown out more than a dozen streets, Chen Mo didn't dare to bet on whether the guess was true, and it was important to save his life.

"County magistrate, the soldiers can't run, let's rest for a while and then leave, the horses won't work." Sun Meng was left in Yangcheng by Chen Mo, and now after leaving Yangcheng, they are also converged.

Chen Mo glanced back, under the light of the fire, the people of the two guards gasped for breath, supporting each other, the queue was already out of order, and the horses couldn't run.

This reflects the endurance of the Snow Dragon Horse, and now it is not breathless.

"Let them hold on for a while, they must rush to Tianshui Town before dawn, and we will rest when we get to Tianshui Town."

Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, and said, "Let the wounded ride my horse." ”

"County magistrate, then you" Sun Meng was stunned.

"It's okay, I can still run." Chen Mo said.

"No."

Although Chen Mo let the horse out, it was also a drop in the bucket, but in the eyes of the soldiers, he felt a lot better, and he was not as tired as before.

Finally, under this tireless rush, the army finally arrived at Tianshui Town and entered the city.

Seeing that Tianshui Town was exactly the same as when they came before, Chen Mo was suspicious, it seemed that he was really thinking too much.
