Sigh:

The unbloomed spring flowers bloom with blood flowers, and the blood flowers fall to the ground and dye the yellow sand.

I have never had a long eye, and I have forgotten my home since I went to the battlefield.

There are many deaths of comrades-in-arms, and there is no end to the sorrow of the fighters side by side.

His eyes are all red, and he doesn't care about killing at all costs!

It is said that Li Shijun entered the main city of Mumen Prefecture and sent a messenger to inform Lin Heng: The momentum of the left and right armies to jointly attack Mumen Gorge has been completed, and Xin Junji and Bu Junrui will not be able to jump for a few days!

When Lin Heng got the news here, the whole army was naturally excited.

However, Xin Junji and Bu Junrui actually got the news. Xin Junji was shocked and discussed with Bu Junrui, Xin Junji said: "Bu Xiang, now that Lin Heng and Li Shijun's two armies are attacking back and forth, our army is suffering from the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and the situation is dangerous, what should I do?"

Bu Junrui said: "Now the situation is critical, and the reinforcements from my lord Khan's side have not yet arrived, so it is really difficult to decide." If our army retreats, and we are afraid of losing Mumen Gorge, our lord Khan will definitely blame, if we do not retreat, and we are afraid that the army will overturn here, ouch, it is difficult!"

Xin Junji said: "When the decision continues, things will be chaotic, but at this time, the situation makes us unable to decide, how can this be good?"

Bu Junrui said: "Why is there no reinforcement from our lord Khan, and there is no news? Although this Mumen Gorge is very important, as far as the current situation is concerned, it will not be able to protect the enemy after all, and in my opinion, we should give up, and our army should retreat. Governor, I wonder if you can do this?"

Xin Junji said: "Bu Xiangguo, he will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected - I also understand this truth, but I really don't dare to be the master!"

Bu Junrui said: "Hey, if you want to protect this place, you will inevitably lose your troops and lose your generals, and you will inevitably be defeated." If you preserve your strength, you may not know how to make a comeback. Governor, if only you could call the shots. ”

Xin Junji heard this, and said hurriedly: "Lao Bu, you are the right minister of the Great West Khanate, and your status is no less than mine, why can't you call the shots?"

Bu Junli said: "Treat each other to each other." My lord Khan Emperor is a man who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, think about the fate of Chai Junmou and the second prince, how can you and I make our own decisions?"

When Xin Junji heard this, he sighed and said, "That's it, let's send another messenger and ask the Emperor Khan for help as soon as possible!"

Bu Junrui sighed helplessly, and had to agree to send a messenger for help first. At the same time, he added: "Governor, we must first prepare for the worst, and when we are forced to do so, our army will retreat westward." ”

Xin Junji said: "What should I do to prepare for the worst?"

Bu Junrui said: "We must send a capable general to strengthen the defense of Longxian, otherwise, if Longxian loses again, we will really have no way out and fall into the great encirclement of the Taiping army!"

However, it is said that Li Shijun's side, from the attack on Jingxian County to the capture of Mumen County, the main city of Mumen Prefecture, has always paid attention to inspecting various traffic passes, striving to cut off the connection between Xinjun Jibu Junrui and the Daxi Imperial Court.

Bu Junrui did send a messenger before, but he was intercepted and captured by Li Shijun. Li Shijun discussed with Xu Xing.

Xu Xing said: "Xin Junji and Bu Junrui asked Tang Zirong for help, and Xu Wenhu's military division sent news from Xining Prefecture in the Great Western Kingdom, saying that Tang Zirong gathered 100,000 people to seize Pang County.

As long as our side continues to cut off the contact between the two of them, it is estimated that Xin Junji and Bu Junrui themselves will not be able to sit still. ”

Li Shijun said: "The military advisor is right. I think, what will he do if he Xin Junji and Bu Junrui can't sit still?"

Xu Xing said: "If they can't sit still, they may have two possible moves: either they will leave a small number of troops to guard the Mumen Gorge Pass and resist Marshal Lin Heng's right army, but they will lead the crowd back to seize Mumen County and Jing County." Or, their main force retreats westward and retreats into Tiancangzhou. ”

Li Shijun said: "Yes." If I were in their position, then what would I do? I would inevitably leave a small number of troops to guard the Mumenxia Pass, and the army would retreat westward and retreat into Tiancangzhou, which was the safest way. Why don't we hurry up and send a detachment of men and horses to Longxian County, Benzhou, and cut off their way to retreat west?"

Xu Xing said: "Tang Zirong is a person, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, I am afraid that Xin Junji and Bu Junrui will not retreat without permission until they are forced to do so." We should now step up our investigation and find out what Xin Junji and Bu Junrui think on the other side of Mumen Gorge. ”

Li Shijun said: "We also have to strictly inspect all traffic passes, and we must not let their messengers and horse explorers steal it!"

After discussing here, Li Shijun sent someone to inform Marshal Lin Heng of the right army of the information.

As soon as the messenger left, he grabbed the messenger of Xin Junji and Bu Junrui and sent it to Li Shijun.

Li Shijun interrogated, and sure enough, Xin Junji and Bu Junrui were difficult to make a claim, and they wavered, this messenger was asking for help from the Daxi Imperial Court and applying to evacuate Mumen Gorge.

Li Shijun learned from the messenger that Xin Junji had listened to Bu Junrui's words and sent troops to strengthen the defense of Nalong County!

When Li Shijun heard this, he sighed unconsciously and said: "Most of the powerful people in the world are almost the same. I can think of taking Long County, and he Bu Junrui can also think of increasing the defense of Long County!"

Xu Xing said: "Marshal, now that Xin Junji's determination is difficult, Bu Junrui's plan is undecided, and we are just using the plan at this time." ”

"How to use the plan?" Li Shijun came to the spirit.

Xu Xing said: "I have a plan to lure the snake out of the hole! ”

When Li Shijun heard this, he laughed and praised again and again: "Okay! It's really a clever plan!"

So Li Shijun comforted the messenger well, and asked the messenger's name and hometown, it turned out that the messenger was originally from Guan County, Shimen Prefecture. Li Shijun was gracious and powerful, and promised to win over the messenger with the high official value, and said:

"If you do this for our army, I will ask the Taiping Khan Emperor to make you a good doctor, so that you can enjoy the glory and wealth of this life. How about enjoying the rest of your life?"

The messenger was also a man of understanding, so he said: "The marshal has promised me so many benefits, how can I not surrender? Some time ago, I heard that in my hometown, the relatives and neighbors of Zhuang and Zhuang all sang the "Taiping Song" in private, and they all hoped that the Taiping army would fight and live that peaceful life from now on. ”

Xu Xing lost no time in interjecting a sentence and said: "Dou Xingtong, if you are a big thing to harm our army, you will be able to imagine what the consequences will be!"

The messenger Dou Xingtong said: "The villain sent the fake letter this time, so he thought of getting out and coming back to see the marshal and the military advisor, so that the marshal could rest assured!"

It turned out that Xu Xing's plan was to falsely spread the edict of Daxi, so that Xin Junji and Bu Junrui would leave a small number of troops to guard the Mumen Gorge Pass, but they would lead the main force to recapture the main city of Benzhou, Mumen County and Jingxian County, and then go to join Tang Zirong's army and take Pang County together.

And Li Shijun's side, sent troops to occupy Weishan and beat him Xin Jun Jibu Junrui in an ambush.

So Li Shijun asked Dou Xingtong to change into a close-fitting gold armor, and the outside was still the original clothes, and personally accompanied Xu Xing to eat and drink with him, a few days later, it was estimated that it was the day of the messenger's return, so that Dou Xingtong took the forged Daxi edict and went to the Mumen Gorge Pass to report to Xin Junji and Bu Junrui.

After Dou Xingtong left, Xu Xing said: "No matter whether this Dou Xingtong goes here or not, our army will go forward to ambush." From this place to the Mumenxia Pass, there is a section of mountain road in the middle, which is called Tail Mountain, and it is just right to set up an ambush. ”

Li Shijun said: "I think so too, it is better to ask the military division to lead 20,000 people to guard Mumen County, and I will lead 80,000 horses to ambush." ”

Xu Xing said: "Okay! I have agreed with the marshal on a three-day limit, and if the enemy army does not come within three days, it means that this plan to lure the snake out of the hole has failed." At that time, the marshal could lead the army to Mumen Gorge, and I led the troops to respond. ”

Li Shijun said: "Okay!"

However, it was said that the defenders of Mumenxia, Xin Junji and Bu Junli were directing the army to counterattack Lin Heng's army to attack the pass, and there was a report from the Malay, and the messenger was back!

Xin Junji said: "Call the messenger!"

So Dou Xingtong came to see Xin Junji and Zhong Junli, and handed over the forged edict to Xin Junji and Bu Junrui. The two of them just interrogated Dou Xingtong's entry into Beijing, where did they think that their messenger had been lured down by Li Shijun of the Taiping Army?

Dou Xingtong said: "Governor, Xiangye, when the next official came, my lord Emperor Khan was ordering the machete Niu Fei to be the vanguard and lead the troops to Pang County!"

When Xin Junji heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Which Niu Fei can be a pioneer?"

Bu Junrui asked excitedly: "Is it the machete Niu Fei who ranked tenth among the three guns, six hammers and four knives?"

Dou Xingtong said: "Exactly!"

Bu Junrui couldn't help but rejoice: "Now the Great West Khanate is in an emergency situation, and it is also a blessing for the country that my lord Khan has a fierce general!"

Xin Junji had already read the fake edict at this time, and he didn't doubt it, so he only said to Bu Junrui:

"Bu Xiangguo, my lord Khan ordered us to leave 10,000 horses to guard Mumen Gorge, leave a general to command, I and you will lead the main force, back to attack Mumen County, Jing County, and go to participate in the attack on Pang County. ”

Bu Junrui said: "Although it is not very rational for my lord Khan to do this, we also have to obey the order. In this way, let's leave General Hua Laoyan to guard Mumen Gorge. However, we must pay attention to the area around Nawei Mountain, which is very easy to ambush. ”

Xin Junji said: "Yes." We must send a meteor scout to report the news of Tail Mountain at any time. ”

Here, Xin Junji discussed with Bu Junrui to attack Mumen County, and sent meteors to scout horses to explore the situation in the Weishan area from time to time.

Li Shijun had already received the report, and discussed with Xu Xing: "Bu Junrui is very cunning, at present, they are strengthening the exploration of Weishan, and it is not easy for our army to ambush it." ”

Xu Xing said: "Weishan is the place they must pass through, they have strengthened their exploration, and we are not good at ambushing, so we can only occupy it first and block his road to the north." ”

Li Shijun said: "It's better for us to occupy Weishan on one side, block their way, and ambush two other groups of men, as long as Xin Junji and Bu Junrui arrive at Weishan, our two teams of men and horses will go to attack the Mumen Pass, and Marshal Lin Hui will be able to take the Mumen Pass in one fell swoop!"

At that time, if Marshal Lin Heng's army could arrive, it would be right to encircle Xin Junji and Bu Junrui with our army, and annihilate them at the foot of Weishan Mountain!"

Xu Xing said: "Since this is the case, we must get in touch with each other and inform Marshal Lin Heng of the Right Army! We will attack the army at Mumen Pass, and General Ma Rong will be the main leader."

In addition, it is necessary to prevent Marshal Lin Heng from not being able to catch up, and our army must independently deal with Xin Junji and Bu Junrui - this is a field melee, and the sacrifice will be great!"

While they were discussing, Dou Xingtong asked to see him. When Li Shijun saw Dou Xingtong, he said, "You came back just in time, what's going on over there?"

Dou Xingtong said: "Marshal, I asked Xin Junji for a messenger, and I took the opportunity to come over, and this time I will never leave again." ”

Li Shijun said: "What kind of letter?"

Dou Xingtong said: "Report to Emperor Daxi Khan, saying that he will send troops back tomorrow to attack Mumen County, the main city of Benzhou." ”

Li Shijun said: "Okay, this news is just in time! Dou Xingtong, this handsome man will take credit to you first! You will be my secretary and manage the documents for me." On the day I return to the court, I will protect you. ”

Dou Xingtong said: "Marshal Xie trusts! The villain is grateful!"

Dou Xingtong went to do things by himself, and Li Shijun said to Xu Xing: "Military advisor, I'll set off now!"

So Li Shijun led 80,000 troops and went out of the tail mountain to the village. When the 80,000 horses arrived, they did not care about rest, and formed a chain from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain to block the main road.

Li Shijun left 20,000 horses to guard the mountain, and set up a battalion on the left and right of Weishan. Each battalion had 10,000 horses, but Ma Rong and Ji Xiaohu were ordered to lead 10,000 horses each, and they only waited for Xin Junji and Bu Junrui to attack Weishan, and then went straight to the Mumen Gorge Pass. and Lin Heng's army flanked back and forth.

Li Shijun also ordered Zhang Yao and Zhang Li, two generals, each to lead 10,000 horses, just wait for the enemy army to attack Weishan, and then divide into two ways to attack behind the enemy and attack the enemy together.

But he said that Xin Junji was very happy to hear that there was no enemy army in Weishan in ambush. After sending Dou Xingtong to report the date of Tang Zirong's troops, he discussed with Bu Junrui and sent a vanguard army first, led by the general Li Xun, with 3,000 men and horses, to occupy Weishan first.

The next day, Li Xun went first, Xin Junji and Bu Junrui led 40,000 horses, and then marched.

When Li Xun came to the foot of Weishan, he saw that there were already enemy soldiers on Weishan and did not dare to come to attack, so he sent someone to report to Xin Junji and Bu Junrui.

Bu Junrui said: "In any case, our army must capture Weishan before it can pass!"

Xin Junji said: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road! The soldiers of the three armies, come forward with me!"

So Xin Junji took the lead, Bu Junrui led the army, and 43,000 men and horses, as soon as they swarmed forward, they came to capture Weishan.

On the side of Weishan, as soon as Ma Rong and Ji Xiaohu saw that the enemy soldiers were coming to attack Weishan, they led 20,000 horses to the back of the Mumen Gorge Pass according to the order.

Zhang Yao and Zhang Li, the second general, led 20,000 horses to follow the troops, and wanted to return to Xin Junji and Bu Junrui to attack.

At that time, as soon as Li Shijun saw that the enemy army was attacking in an all-out way, he ordered 20,000 horses on the mountain to work hard to defend. The soldier guarding the mountain was condescending, and the arrows were like rain.

Li Shijun also ordered the second battalion on the left side of the mountain and the right side of the mountain to guard the camp and not fight first.

But it was said that Xin Junji came to the bottom of the tail mountain, looked at the enemy formation, and sighed: "Li Shijun is really a good general!"

While speaking, Bu Junrui also arrived. Bu Junrui said: "Dudu, our army has arrived here, no matter what, we have to fight the bloody road and rush through the tail mountain! He has formed a chain of villages from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and there is a battalion on the left and right sides of the mountain, and our army will break through in the center. Only in this way, taking the commanding heights on the top of the mountain, can our army rush over!"

Xin Junji also nodded in agreement, and shouted to his subordinates: "Rush with me!"

So, the Great Western Army of 40,000 horses shouted to attack the mountain. Xin Junji personally led the troops and charged ahead.

When the battle was not long, there was a probe to report to Bu Junrui: "Xiangguo, the enemy army is on two roads, and Benmumen Gorge has gone!"

Before Bu Junrui could give an order, he heard the shouts of the troops behind him, but it was Zhang Yao and Zhang Li, two generals, each leading 10,000 horses and killing from the left and right back.

At the same time, I heard the loud sound of the medium cannon of the second battalion on the left and right of Li Shijun, and Li Shijun personally led the troops to kill!

One side must desperately seize the road and go, and the other side must resolutely block the other party's way!

I saw that on the battlefield, it was very tragic: the spearmen rushed, the shields blocked, the big swords were short, the bows and arrows were long, the blood flowed in the wilderness, the corpses were all over the wilderness, the eyes of the fighters were red, and who died for the death?

At this time, the mountains were all over the wilderness, and there were shouts of killing! The two armies fought a fierce battle at Weishan!
