Chapter 143: Unilateral Massacre
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
On the Qingshui River, a series of explosions suddenly sounded, deafening!
The white column of water exploded out of thin air, several feet high.
The army of bandits who were crossing the river was seriously injured for a while, and the center of the explosion, the bandits were blown to pieces, and the stumps were all over the ground....
On the shore, Liang Chuan was riding on horseback and was almost affected.
By the time he reacted, all three pontoon bridges on the river had been destroyed.
The river was littered with bandits' severed limbs, and the river was instantly dyed red.
Liang Chuan strangled the reins with one hand, scolded angrily, and pulled out his waist knife:
"Be on guard! Alert! ”
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see the enemy rush out.
The army was terrified, frightened by the noise.
The bandit generals stationed in Qingshui River hurriedly ran over.
"What the hell is going on?" Liang Chuan asked.
The bandit general shook his head with a bitter face.
Where did he know what was going on.
It was okay just now, that is, Liang Chuan came with the people, and they just stepped on the pontoon bridge with their front feet, and that's it.
I don't know what it was, and it destroyed the bridge.
Liang Chuan was a little angry and kicked the bandit general, but the bandit general did not dare to fight back.
"Fix it for me, repair the bridge!"
Liang Chuan roared angrily.
The bandit general got up tremblingly and instructed the bandits to repair the bridge, but at this time the bandits were talking in a whisper, saying everything.
"It's the river god! The river god is angry! ”
"The river god destroyed the bridge!"
"River God!"
More and more bandits are screaming.
No one dared to be the first to approach the Qingshui River, for fear that the river god would be angry again.
Liang Chuan was furious, "What river god, hurry up and repair the bridge for me!" ”
"Violators, behead!"
Liang Chuan slashed to death the bandits who were afraid to go down the river, and those bandits trembled down the river and began to build the bridge.
Although the Qingshui River is not wide, it is almost impossible to repair the bridge in a short time, not to mention, the influence of the river god has been spreading among the bandits, and the bandits who repair the bridge in the river are frightened one by one, how can they have the heart to repair the bridge.
Liang Chuan stood on the shore, pacing left and right, anxious.
If it goes on like this, the army rushed to Pingyang Valley to support, and the daylilies were cold.
"You, come here!"
Liang Chuan pointed to the bandit generals stationed in Qingshuihe and asked, "Pingyang Valley is in trouble, have you ever sent troops to support?" ”
"Sent, sent, but they didn't come back."
Liang Chuan gritted his teeth, which confirmed from the side that the army of the northern line of the Great Era was determined to eat Pingyang Valley.
There is no time to lose.
The bandit general stepped forward and tried to say, "General, there is actually another road that can go directly to Pingyang Valley. ”
"Oh?"
Liang Chuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Which way?" ”
The bandit general pointed in a direction: "There, not far away, Hukou Gorge, through Hukou Gorge you can reach Pingyang Valley." ”
"Don't say it sooner, lead the way!"
Liang Chuan remounted his horse and let the bandit generals lead the way.
Not long after, Liang Chuan came to Hukou Gorge with a large group of men and horses.
"Stop!"
Liang Chuan had followed Chu Kang for many years and was considered a relatively experienced general, but as soon as he arrived at Hukou Gorge, he noticed that something was wrong.
I saw the road in front of me, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a natural danger, sandwiched between two mountains, and the road is extremely narrow.
Moreover, it is extremely easy to ambush the enemy on the peaks on both sides.
With a wave of his hand, Liang Chuan called a few scouts to go in first to explore the way, and it was not too late for the army to enter again, in case of an ambush, it would not be good.
A group of scouts rode in, and came out after a long time, and as soon as they came out, they said, "Tell the general, the road ahead is safe." ”
But Liang Chuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was still puzzled, looking at the bandit generals beside him and asking:
"What's so strange about this place lately?"
Hukou Gorge is not far from the Qingshui River, and once there is any wind and grass here, the Qingshui River must also know a thing or two.
The bandit general frowned and thought about it, and tried to say: "These days and nights, this place is haunted!" ”
"Haunted?"
The bandit general nodded like garlic, "It's haunted!" In the past few days, some people have entered the Hukou Gorge, but once they entered, there were no bones, and everyone said that they let the ghosts eat them. ”
"Nonsense!"
Liang Chuan whipped the bandit general's back, and he bared his teeth in pain.
"What the hell is there in this world? It is clear that someone is playing tricks, the terrain here is too steep, and I am afraid of ambush! ”
"Scout, probe again!"
Liang Chuan waved his hand, and another team of scouts rode in.
But the situation is the same as just now, and I came out after a long time after entering, saying that this road is safe and passable.
But Liang Chuan still hesitated.
At this moment, a bandit covered in wounds suddenly rushed out of the Hukou Gorge.
Liang Chuan immediately put the army on alert.
This man was not the scout he had sent to explore the way, he had come from nowhere, and his identity was unknown.
When the visitor saw the army, he was a little overjoyed, and stumbled and waved his hand and shouted:
"General, General!"
Liang Chuan asked someone to bring this person forward and take a look, only to see that he was thin and weak, covered in blood, as if he had just experienced a vicious battle.
"Who are you?"
"...... of the 3rd Battalion of the 8th Regiment of Pingyang Valley"
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Chuan asked again:
"You escaped from Pingyang Valley?"
"Exactly!"
The visitor swallowed a mouthful of saliva, bent down to support his knees, gasped for several breaths before he evened out his breath, and said: "General, Pingyang Valley is surrounded, and a few of us have escaped with great difficulty, and we ask the general to go to the rescue quickly." ”
"You guys?"
Liang Chuan didn't see anyone else behind him.
"My lord, the villain and his group of seven people were ordered to rescue outside, but the road was full of Daji officers and soldiers, and they were all killed by the officers and soldiers, the villain ran fast, barely picked up a life, and escaped!"
Liang Chuan frowned and found a clue: "Pingyang Valley is besieged, how did you escape?" After escaping, why did you go to Hukou Gorge? And not take the Qingshui River? ”
"General, the villain and his companion escaped through a secret passage, and they did have to take the Qingshui River at first, but there were too many officers and soldiers on the road, so they had no choice but to go around a little farther....."
As he spoke, he also showed the knife wounds on his body, obviously because he had just broken through the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers of Daji, and finally escaped here.
"General Ben and I ask you, you have just passed through Hukou Gorge, but what is wrong with it?"
"Yes!"
Liang Chuan immediately became nervous, "What's wrong?" ”
"The villain came across several fresh and dry bones on the road, and they were all covered with the marks of wild beast bites....."
I see.... Liang Chuan thought in his heart that it didn't seem to be haunted, but that there had been wild beasts in Hukou Gorge recently, and they had eaten people.
At this time, the bandit general said in a hurry:
"General, don't scruple so much! Rescue is important, we went late, Pingyang Valley will be gone. ”
Liang Chuan's heart was tormented.
I don't know if I want to enter Hukou Gorge.
Two groups of scouts were sent out to investigate, and they all said that there was no problem, and there were people who escaped safely from Pingyang Valley.
Taking 10,000 steps back, Pingyang Valley sent out nine wolf smoke in a row to ask for help, which shows that the offensive of the army on the northern front of Daji is very fierce, and our army is suddenly rerouted to Hukou Gorge, how does the other party know that our army is going to pass through Hukou Gorge? So as to set up an ambush in advance?
Impossible, it is impossible for the enemy to set up an ambush here.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Chuan ordered: "Let's go." ”
And pointed to the bandit general: "You, take your men and horses, enter first, and this general will press the formation behind!" ”
The bandit general pouted.
I thought that this Chu General was really too cautious.
So, the bandit generals led the bandit army and took the lead and entered the Hukou Gorge.
Liang Chuan entered in batches with 10,000 Chu troops behind the bandits, and for the sake of insurance, he also left 3,000 Chu troops at the entrance of Hukou Gorge as a response.
Liang Chuan did this, naturally he had his reasons, once he was ambushed, the first to bear the brunt were the bandits in front, he and his Chu army might still have a chance to withdraw, and the three thousand Chu troops left at the entrance could also help.
Slowly going deeper into the Hukou Gorge, Liang Chuan looked up at the sky above his head, only to feel the magic of nature, and at the same time, he kept ordering the army to move forward quickly, and it was necessary to pass through the Hukou Gorge as quickly as possible.
This place is too dangerous.
....
.....
"Success or failure is here!"
Chen Chao saw the bandit army lingering at the entrance of Hukou Gorge for a long time, but in the end he still chose to go in, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Now that you're in, don't even think about leaving.
Meng Changge looked at the long line of bandits in the canyon, and there was only excitement in his eyes.
At the same time, his admiration for Chen Chao skyrocketed, because the bandit who claimed to have escaped from Pingyang Valley was actually deliberately pretended by Chen Chao in order to relax the guard of the Chu generals. Not only that, Pingyang Valley asked for help, but only three wolf smoke were actually released before and after, and the other wolf smoke was released by Chen Chao, in order to highlight the urgency of the situation in Pingyang Valley.
Although these are very small details, they have nothing to do with the big picture.
But if you think about it, without these small details, the plan would not have gone so smoothly.
Rao is a cautious person like Liang Chuan, and he is still in the trap.
Chen Chao's mind is delicate and terrifying.
Meng Changge was glad that he didn't become an opponent with someone like Chen Chao, otherwise, he would have lost very badly.
At the same time, she was very happy.
Because it's her man......
She's proud.
Watching more and more bandits pass by, Chen Chao raised his hand lightly and lowered his voice:
"All the army, ready to ....."
Above the canyon, the army that had been ambushed for a long time was waiting for it, licking its lips excitedly and clenching the knife in its hand.
"Put!"
In an instant, the soldier slashed the rope with a forceful swing of his sword.
The fixed sandalwood rolling stone was uncontrollable and rumbled downward.
Liang Chuan, who was riding on horseback, discovered the ambush as soon as possible, raised his head and secretly shouted that something was wrong, and then roared with all his strength:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
"Defend, raise your shield, disperse!"
"Don't mess around, defend!"
Liang Chuan is also a frequent visitor to the battlefield, and he knows that the more this time comes, the more he can't mess up, he can't rush forward or retreat back and forth, he must bear the impact of the first wave of rolling stones, and then find an opportunity to counterattack.
Leaning against the cliffs on both sides, try to use a shield to protect your body, and your chances of survival will be much greater.
The Chu army behind him did as soon as Liang Chuan's orders were followed.
But those bandits were not properly trained, and now they were in ambush, completely panicked, and frantically crowded forward, and the exit was in front of them.
But how could the Chen Dynasty, which had been ambushed here a long time ago, give these bandits a chance to escape?
The soldiers cut the ropes with great force, and the boulders fell with a bang, especially at the exit position, which was blocked by the vertically falling boulders, and the way was completely blocked.
Now, the bandits in Hukou Gorge and the Chu army have become turtles in the urn, fish and meat waiting to be slaughtered on the cutting board.
The stones and sassalwood that fell from the top of the head could directly smash people into meat sauce with the impact force, and the panicked bandit army was killed and injured more than half in an instant.
The situation of the Chu army is not much better, although there is a shield to protect the body, but the strong impact force is still directly flattened by the shield and the people.
In the Hukou Gorge, it became a one-sided massacre!
Tragedy on earth!
The army of bandits did not have any chance to resist at all, and the sentence was pronounced dead.
When the rolling stone and wood were used up, the Chang Shengjun who was ambushed above the Hukou Gorge showed their heads and looked down.
The battlefield is like an Asura field.
Blood was everywhere, and wails abounded.
In the crack of the stone, a bloody arm was occasionally exposed, and his fingers trembled slightly, indicating that he had not completely breathed.
Of course, there are those who survived, but they were very few.
Chen Chao stood in the middle and accidentally found that the general of the Chu army on horseback had survived, but now he was extremely miserable, he was crushed by the stone and could not move, and several surviving Chu soldiers were moving the stone to rescue him.
With the help of ropes, the army ambushed above came down one after another, cleaned up the mess, and gave those bandits and the Chu army who were not yet dead a good deed.
Chen Chao led people and came to Liangchuan not far away, and a few Chu soldiers picked up the things they could use in their hands and stared at these approaching enemies.
Liang Chuan waved his hand, pushed aside the Chu soldiers who were blocking in front of him, sat up with difficulty, and saw a look of disgust flashing in Chen Chaohou's eyes, and his teeth were stained with blood: "Despicable and shameless!" ”
Chen Chao tilted his head, frowned, and said puzzledly:
"Where is it despicable and shameless? In this world, the military affairs are nothing more than military discipline, counting people's hearts, attacking their unpreparedness, avoiding their elites, often making strange schemes, today I win and you lose, and you are not unjust! ”
"Oh, by the way....." Chen Chao said before leaving: "The three thousand Chu soldiers you left at the entrance, I wonder if I can solve it if I send five thousand lancers?" ”
Liang Chuan spurted out a mouthful of old blood and fainted.
