Chapter 71, rush to Xiaoguan through five counties

The poem says:

The sunset is approaching the Xiao Pass, and the slanting light is lonely.

The Guancheng Tower is high and eternal, and the mountains and seas are extremely dangerous.

The captives and horses rolled back like a tide, and the sound of killing was heard from time to time.

What do you see today? The grass and trees are silent and hurt themselves.

It is said that at that time, Li Shijun took the lead in occupying Longjiao Peak, and the red-haired general Hulagus got a report, knowing that Longjiao Peak was related to the back of his army, of course, he immediately returned to the army and came to rob it.

At this time, the Taiping Army and the red-haired soldiers were constantly sent by meteor scouts to inquire about the military situation.

Li Shijun set up a village on Longshou Mountain, and built a wall and set up camp under the mountain - the red-haired soldiers were mainly cavalry, and the cavalry was strong, otherwise it was not enough to block it.

Speaking of which, if you want to really cut off Hulagus's retreat, the battle for Longjiao Peak has become the key to the big war!

Li Shijian, Li Shijun, and the red-haired soldier Hulagus all realized this key. Before Li Shijian surrounded the enemy at the foot of Longshou Mountain on two sides of the left army of the Taiping Army, he had already issued an order, asking Lin Heng's right army to increase the offensive and take the Xiaoguan Pass as soon as possible.

After all, only by laying down the key passes of Xiao Pass can it be said that if you advance, you can go out of Xiao Pass to defeat Hongmao, and if you retreat, you can hold Xiao Pass and trap Hulagus in the territory.

Marshal of the Right Army, Lin Heng, got the order of Emperor Li Shijian Khan, so he naturally tried every means to strengthen the attack. At that time, Lin Heng's right army besieged Yutian County, the main county of Yutian Prefecture, and there were 30,000 red-haired soldiers in the county.

When Lin Heng's army arrived, he found out that the city did not use rope net soldiers to guard against the Taiping army's flying army, and immediately led the vanguard general Song Yi and deputy pioneer An Gongziming, who took the lead and led a thousand flying troops, attacked the city wall first by night, and then killed the city gate along the city wall, opened the city gate, and let Lin Hui's army enter the city.

After Lin Heng entered the city and captured Yutian County, the entire army was finished, and he was about to send troops to attack the north. A messenger had already arrived and reported to Lin Heng:

- Our lord Emperor Khan has made a decision to join forces with the left army to attack the red-haired demon general Hulagus. The Khan's intention was to avoid a head-on confrontation with Hulagus and to trap him in his own territory.

At present, Marshal Li Shijun of the Left Army has gone to seize Longjiao Peak, the key place where Hulags retreated. Emperor Khan ordered that the right army should intensify its offensive at all costs, take down Xiaoguan Prefecture as soon as possible, and recapture Xiaoguan Pass, in order to form a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs against the red-haired soldiers led by Hulagus!

Lin Hui got Li Shijian's order, so he discussed the military situation with the military advisers Liu Wuming and Fu Liming, the main and deputy vanguards Song Yi and An Gongziming, and several major generals.

Lin Heng said: "Two military divisions, two pioneers, Yutian County here to Xiaoguan Prefecture, and Shatian County and Shitian County in the north.

In Xiaoguan Prefecture, from Ban County to Xiang County and then to Liangzi County, this section of the road is 600 miles, and after Liangzi County, there are more than 90 miles to Xiaoguan City, the pass city of Xiaoguan Prefecture.

Our army of 150,000 horses and horses will conquer five counties along the way, and it will take a long time, and it is impossible to cooperate with the Left Army and the Khan Emperor's forbidden army to complete the military posture of closing the door and fighting dogs against the red-haired soldier Hulags.

However, our lord Khan has ordered that our army should take down the key pass of Xiaoguan Prefecture as soon as possible, block Hulagus in our territory, and trap himโ€”what can we do to meet the requirements of our lord Khan?"

Liu Wuming said: "Marshal, according to the order of the Emperor Khan, only by giving up attacking the five counties along the way, going straight to Xiaoguanzhou, and capturing the key pass Xiaoguan City, can we achieve the momentum of cooperating with the Left Army and the Khan Emperor's forbidden army to complete the closing of the gate and fight the dogs." โ€

Lin Heng said: "What Liu Junshi said is that I, Lin Heng, have always acted carefully, I am worried that my army will act like this, leaving the red-haired soldiers of the five counties not to fight, if they harass and pursue behind my army, at that time, our army will be attacked by the enemy in Xiaoguan Pass in front, I am afraid that if the enemy is in front and behind, the situation will be greatly unfavorable to me!"

Liu Wuming said: "The marshal's worries are not unreasonable, after all, most of the red-haired soldiers are cavalry, they are highly mobile, they come and go quickly-

However, if our army can't go straight to Xiaoguanzhou to the pass, but fights with the enemy soldiers in the five counties along the way, and attacks the city all the way, then it will inevitably delay the sun and the moon, and it will be impossible to achieve the strategic intention of the Khan."

Fu Liming said: "Marshal, I have an idea, we might as well use a 'peeling war' method to achieve the combat intention." โ€

When everyone heard this, they all said: "Senator Fu, what kind of 'peeling war' tactics?"

Fu Liming said: "We can leave Liu Junshi and General An Gongzi Ming to lead 20,000 horses and go north to attack Shatian County; the marshal led the army to attack the key pass of Xiaoguanzhou for a long time, and when passing through Shitian County, General Ruan Ting and Yang Jin led 20,000 horses and horses to lie down outside the county, as long as the county sent troops to pursue the marshal's army, the two generals will ambush with one army and capture the city with one army.

At that time, the marshal and I will lead 50,000 horses and horses to rush to the Xiaoguan Pass, so that the strategic intention can be initially achieved.

After that, our army in the five counties in the rear will come to assist in attacking the key pass Xiaoguan City, and we will definitely be able to fully achieve the combat intention of our lord Khan!"

Lin Heng said: "The argument of the Fu Senate is extremely high! It's just that I heard that the enemy army has 50,000 horses and 50,000 infantry in Xiaoguan, and we have to deal with the enemy's 50,000 cavalry and capture Xiaoguan, this battle is not easy to fight!"

Fu Liming said: "Marshal, as for the enemy's cavalry, I have a wheel formation, which should help our army defeat the red-haired cavalry!"

Lin Heng said: "Okay!

So the army set off, and Liu Wuming and An Gongziming led 20,000 troops to attack Shatian County.

Lin Heng's army of 130,000 horses, all the way to the rapid march, to Shitian County, the army stole across the border of Shitian County, Lin Hui left Ruan Ting, Yang Jin two generals, led 20,000 troops, ambushed in the northwest of Shitian County, only waiting for the red-haired defenders of Shitian County to go out of the city to pursue Lin Hui's army, they wanted to ambush and capture the city.

In the rest of the three counties, Ban County, Xiang County, and Liangzi County, Lin Heng naturally sent 20,000 horses to attack the city. When he arrived at the Xiaoguan City of Xiaoguan Prefecture, it took six days.

The right army, under the leadership of Lin Heng, was exactly 50,000 horses, and came to attack Xiaoguan Pass.

This Xiao Pass is actually Xiao Pass. This city is connected to Qinglong Mountain on the left, and Longniang Sea on the right.

According to legend, Qinglong Mountain was originally transformed by a green dragon. The Dragon Niang Sea is the mother of the green dragon. Qinglong violated the rules of heaven, and Long Niang was willing to be punished on behalf of her son, and was beaten to the dust, where she fell, that is, where Long Niang Hai was.

However, Qinglong did not repent and violated the rules of heaven again, and this time, he was to be taken to the dragon slaying platform to be executed. When Long Niang learned about it, she was sad and disappointed and died. And Qinglong was about to be executed, so he knew that Da Mourning regretted it, so he asked to see his mother before beheading.

After seeing the mother, the sword falls on the dragon slashing platform, and the head of the green dragon falls into the junction of Dingbian Prefecture and Yutian Prefecture, which is the head of the dragon, and there are two peaks on it, which is the Longjiao Peak; the head of the dragon is also a part of the Qinglong Mountain; the body of the dragon is the Qinglong Mountain; the broken neck is where the Xiaoguan City of Xiaoguan Prefecture is located, and the west of this city is the Longniang Sea.

Everyone knows: Longniang's sea is hate, and everything sinks into the sea!

Therefore, Xiaoguanzhou, which is the key to Xiaoguancheng, is really the boundary between the former Datong Khanate and the northern Hongmao people in the west. Xiaoguan Prefecture, its name is in this pass of Xiaoguan City.

In the past, the Hongmao people could not attack the Datong Khanate, all because of this Xiaoguan Pass. From here to the east, the huge Qinglong Mountain System cuts off the communication between the Hongmao and Datong tribes.

It was only for Zhong to borrow troops from the Hongmao Clan, so that Xiao Guan now fell under the control of the Hongmao Soldiers, so the Hongmao Lord continued to send troops to cross the Xiao Pass Pass, enter the Guannei, encroach on the land, and kill the Datong people.

It is said that Lin Heng and Fu Liming led 50,000 troops, and when they came to the pass, they were stationed twenty miles away from the city. Lin Hui, Fu Liming and Song Yi discussed how to capture Xiaoguancheng in the big tent of the Chinese army.

However, the discussion was undecided, and the subordinates reported that in Xiaoguan City, the red-haired soldiers came to attack our army's camp!

When Lin Hui heard this, he said angrily: "The red-haired soldiers killed my Datong clansmen, and they are so arrogant, they want to use the method of waiting for work to take advantage of my army!"

I expect that their demon general Hulagus is at a loss on the side of Dingbian Prefecture at this time, and the red-haired soldiers on their side only rely on the cavalry to have an advantage over our infantry, so they dare to attack our army like this!"

Fu Liming said: "The marshal doesn't have to be angry, he has soldiers coming, and I have generals to block!" The marshal can go out of the camp with Song Xianfeng and the generals to meet him, kill him for a while, and beat him in the first battle to win his luck!"

Song Yi also smiled and said: "The wheel formation of the Fu Senator is just used to deal with his red-haired cavalry, and the last general will go into battle, and he will definitely win the first battle and kill the enemy!"

Lin Heng said: "Okay! Ben Shuai is in the formation for Song Xianxian!"

So Lin Heng gave an order, and listened to the medium cannon of the right army battalion, Lin Heng, Song Yi, and Fu Liming led 10,000 soldiers out of the camp.

After the army left the camp, it quickly formed a wheel circle, Fu Liming and the right army marshal Lin Heng each presided over a round array axis, two circle formations to protect both sides, and in the middle was the vanguard Song Yi to face the enemy.

Song Yi shouted: "Red-haired demon soldiers, if you are not afraid of death, come to compete with you, Uncle Song, and me!"

But he said that this red-haired soldier, who came out of Xiaoguan to fight Lin Heng, was originally the marshal of the red-haired soldier Moligqi, Moligqi, this person was originally a veteran of the red-haired country, but recently he has been overwhelmed by that Hulagus, and he is probably slightly dissatisfied with Hulagos in his heart.

However, Hulagus was blocked at Longjiao Peak, and the red-haired lord had an order, and he had to send 30,000 of Xiao Guan's 50,000 horses to the rescue.

Fortunately, on Xiao Guan's side, there was no battle, and the red-haired lord promised to send another 50,000 horses to Xiao Guan's side for support, and Mo Lige had nothing to complain about.

Unexpectedly, this Moligqi only sent 30,000 horses, and before the 50,000 soldiers in the rear arrived, Lin Heng's right army hit the city of Xiaoguan!

At the same time, Mo Ligeqi had to report again: the enemy marshal Lin Heng led an army of 150,000 all the way, and there were troops attacking the city everywhere in Shatian County, Shitian County, Ban County, Xiang County and Liangzi County!

Mo Lige was surprised in his heart: It turned out that this Lin Heng was actually attacking my Xiaoguan City for a long time! The battle in those five counties was just to drag the men and horses of our army in the five counties so that they could not follow Lin Heng and pursue!

Mo Lige wanted to understand this section, so he led his troops down Xiao Pass and came to attack the camp of Lin Hui's right army. Mo Ligeqi's purpose is not really to wait for work and catch Lin Heng off guard.

Morrig came to challenge this time to test the enemy's battle, so that after this battle, he could decide how to face the enemy.

Before the arrival of the 50,000 red-haired reinforcements in the rear, this Moligqi, in fact, he was not ready to have a decisive battle with Lin Heng's army, at most he was guarding the city and occasionally giving Lin Heng a counterattack.

At that time, Mo Lige said to his subordinates: "Look at this Datong barbarian, he dares to fight our army alone! Generals, which of you will meet him for a while?"

At that time, Haas, a brave general under Morrig's account, stepped out and shouted to Song Yi: "Datong barbarian thief! Don't be arrogant! Look at your grandfather Haas coming to meet you!"

When Song Yi heard this, his heart was cold, and he secretly said: The marshal's intention is to kill the enemy and seize the enemy's momentum in this battle! I will kill this thief today!

Thinking of this, Song Yi held the iron spear in his hand and rushed forward.

At that time, the drums in both armies shook the sky! The red-haired soldiers all rode on silver-horned horses, raised their spears, and shouted wildly! The Taiping army, on its side, refused to weaken their momentum, and they also shouted and cheered!

Seeing the battle array, the iron spear Song Yi and the red-haired general Haas were stabbing and spearing, and they didn't realize that they had been fighting for nearly 20 rounds. Song Yi thought darkly: This red-haired devil's knife is fast and powerful, and it is difficult to defeat him without special tricks!

Thinking of this, Song Yi secretly pulled out the golden silk soft whip around his waist, and when he was fighting with Haas, he suddenly pulled out the whip!

He circled with two horses, swords and guns at the same time, at that time, Na Haas never expected that the opponent would use a gun to whip it!

At that time, the golden silk soft whip swept by, and the whip wrapped around Nahaas's neck, and Song Yi's hand was tight, and he could hear that Nahas's half-screaming "ahhhh

Haas was killed in battle, Morrig was furious, and was about to order the three armies to attack, but saw a general suddenly come out, waw and scold, and rushed straight to Song Yi. When Morrig looked at it, it turned out to be Haas's younger brother Haag.

Haag went to war to avenge his brother. However, Hag's martial arts are far from his brother, and Song Yi knows it with a move. Hag was in a moment of pain and lost his mind, so he went out to meet Song Yi, and when he fought it, he knew that he was not an opponent, and if he wanted to escape, it was a pity that it was too late!

At that time, Song Yi's big gun pierced the middle palace, and Hag was powerless to resist, so he immediately leaned back, but he didn't want Song Yi to hand the gun to his left hand, and his right hand only grabbed the opponent's belt, and Hag was captured!

Song Yi threw Hag to the ground, turned around and called his soldiers: "Tie up!"

As soon as Moligqi saw that he had lost two generals in a row, he waved the command flag and shouted: "Rush!"

I saw the red-haired cavalry, screaming and rushing over. When Fu Liming saw this, he said to Lin Heng: "Marshal!

Lin Heng also waved the handsome flag and shouted: "Start the wheel formation!"

At that time, but seeing the red-haired cavalry galloping vertically and horizontally, the Taiping army rolling in a circular formation, the two armies were called to kill again and again!

In the midst of the fierce battle, Morrig commanded the cavalry to charge the formation, and rushed towards the Chinese army, not wanting this wheel formation, which was extremely strong, and the cavalry could not rush away and could not be broken. And the two large arrays, like two rounds rotating together, actually moved under the Xiaoguan City.

Mo Lige was surprised and angry in his heart: What kind of ghost formation did the Datong barbarians use? Not only did they block the impact of our cavalry, but they also marched towards the city, and they actually had the momentum to take away my city.

At that time, as soon as Morrigge saw that the situation was not good, he ordered the troops to retreat. Lin Heng's army saw that the other party took the initiative to retreat, and the morale was also high, and all the generals had to chase and attack, however, the red-haired cavalry under Molig was highly mobile, came and went quickly, and when he heard a horn sound, the red-haired cavalry retreated like a tide, and after a while, they all went far.

Fu Liming said: "Marshal, the enemy's cavalry is galloping vertically and horizontally, and it is flexible and flexible. At this time, we should push further, approach the pass and build an earthen wall to block the cavalry. โ€

Lin Heng nodded in agreement. So the right army of 50,000 horses approached the city, built an earthen wall, and set up a camp.

At this time, the five counties passed by the right army, the side of Longjiao Peak in Dingbian Prefecture, were killed everywhere!
