Chapter 872: A Plan to Seal the Throat (I)
A few days later, Shaanzhou was closed......
Shaanzhou is connected to the hinterland of the Central Plains in the east according to the Kunshan Mountain, the main road of Tongguan and Qinchuan in the west, the two lakes in the south, and the throat of the north-south trade in the north to the Jindi, which is the strategic place of the ancient soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ran Bianliang, Luoyang and other places were lost, the main force of Mengyuan fled westward, and the Ming army pursued all the way by victory. With Zhang Xingzu and Feng Sheng as the main generals, the soldiers slashed through the West Pass, overcame thorns and thorns, and triumphed in all directions; until the Shaanzhou Pass underground, the attack was blocked and could not be attacked for a long time, and even though the disparity between the two armies was still there, the siege did not make any progress......
According to the general who defended Shaanzhou, he was the Deyin Timur who fled with the main force a few days ago. Although the troops are scarce, according to the dangerous pass in the hinterland of Shaanxi, the soldiers' food and gunpowder are complete, and the Yuan army and the Ming army have held each other for a long time without gaining the upper hand......
Under the Ming army camp, all the troops assembled, and the iron cavalry and bronze cannons were intimidating......
"Report to the general, the troops are assembled, and they can come forward at any time to meet General Feng Sheng and fight against the enemy city!" In front of the big camp, the general with the troops replied and reported the military situation to the main general Zhang Xingzu.
Today, he will once again launch a general attack on Shaanzhou Pass, and Zhang Xingzu will gather the strength of the whole army to try to take it in one fell swoop. As early as a few days ago, Zhang Xingzu's troops had already launched one fierce attack after another on Shaanzhou...... After repeated times, the morale of the Ming army became more and more exhausted, and some of them were exhausted without a fight......
"Asking for Marshal Xu Da's reinforcements, is there no news yet?" Zhang Xingzu asked thoughtfully.
"Not yet, general......" The general said 1510.
Because he couldn't attack for a long time and his morale was weak, Zhang Xingzu asked Marshal Xu Da for reinforcements. Xu Da also did as he said, and sent the order of reinforcements to the Chang Yuchun Vanguard Military Department, and ordered Tang Zhan's troops to come to support. Just a few days passed, but there was no news from the vanguard army, and there was not even a reply letter, Zhang Xingzu couldn't help but feel bottomless in his heart......
"Report-" At this moment, another spy came back from the front to make an urgent report.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xingzu couldn't help but ask, fearing that something had changed.
"Report to the general-" the soldier said immediately, "General Feng Sheng asked back at the front whether he would launch a general attack on Shaanzhou now......
Zhang Xingzu closed his eyes and seemed to have made a decision...... "There is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and the iron horse is out, how can there be any reason to return to the horse?" Zhang Xingzu then looked at it with disdain, and said righteously, "The whole army has an order, go out to support General Feng Sheng, the two armies will make peace, and immediately launch a general attack on the enemy city!"
"Yes—" replied the soldier in high spirits, and hurried away again.
"This time, I must take Shaanzhou!" Zhang Xingzu was in front of the army, his eyes were firm, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart......
Shaanzhou Pass, Mengyuan Position......
"Report to your lordship, the enemy troops are ready to move under our army's city-" The Mengyuan defenders also got the news of Zhang Xingzu and Feng Sheng's attack for the first time.
Tayin Timur sat at the gate and said calmly: "Pass my order, as before, the whole army is armed and on guard, and the gunpowder is guarded at the pass, and the enemy will never be allowed to attack half a step!"
"Yes," the soldier replied, and ordered his troops to dispatch troops......
"By the way, has a new batch of grain, grass and gunpowder been delivered?" Timur counted in his heart, and asked the generals around him instead.
"It's here, my lord......" the trusted general nodded, "as before, General Liao will personally pick it up." The grain and grass are placed by special subordinates, and as for the gunpowder that is transported, it is all stored in the arsenal and can be transported to the castle tower at any time!"
"Very good-" Timur said confidently and satisfied, "everything is carried out in an orderly manner, and it will not be a problem to defend Shaanzhou...... Although our troops are scarce, they have a steady stream of armament support and occupy dangerous and important roads, while the enemy's troops are tired of traveling and the battle line is quite long, and even if the troops are excellent, they cannot withstand the protracted attrition of the dangerous and deep mountains...... We have won this battle, hahahaha!"
"That's what the adults said, hahahaha......" The trusted general also laughed on the side......
"Boom-" However, just as Timur was immersed in complacency, there was a shocking explosion in the direction of the arsenal in the city, which shook the heavens and the earth.
"What's going on?" The accident came suddenly, and before Timur could remember the order, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the place where the incident occurred.
"Boom, boom, boom" There were several loud bangs, and the arsenal suddenly burst into flames, and black smoke shrouded it and turned into a sea of fire......
At the same moment, under the tower, the soldiers carrying the message hurriedly came.
"What's the matter, what's wrong?" Without waiting for the soldiers to report first, Timur asked anxiously.
"Oh no, sir!" the soldier said nervously, "...... Arsenal where ...... exploded, all firearms ...... All...... It's all ruined—"
"What are you talking about?" Hearing this, Timur angrily picked up the soldiers in front of him, and immediately asked, "How can this be, who is in charge of the arsenal? Now that the enemy army is immediately under the city, why is there an accident in the arsenal?!"
"No...... I don't know, my lord......" The soldier trembled with fright and trembled, "It's fine in the morning, and when General Liao's receiving troops come back, they will ...... It's all of a sudden......"
"Hmph—" Tayin Timur said angrily, and threw the soldier in front of him to the ground.
"My lord, now is not the time to be angry, we have to quickly organize troops to extinguish the fire, and see if we can save the fire while the enemy army is not close to the city!"
"That's right, you have to put out the fire first......" Timur also forcibly kept calm, and shouted at his troops, "Order the rear battalion troops, quickly organize the fire extinguishing, and see if you can save some firearms to resist the enemy-"
"Yes-" The soldiers beside him ordered in unison, and the city of Shaanzhou was suddenly tense......
"Damn, if it's just an accident, this timing is too coincidental......" Tayin Timur felt that the situation was wrong, the big war was imminent, and it stands to reason that the whole army should be on alert, and this kind of low-level negligence should not be committed - obviously someone did it deliberately, Toyin Timur muttered nervously, "Who is it?" There must be someone who took advantage of the tension before the war to create an incident...... Who the hell ......?"
"It's me—" In the midst of the confusion, a chill drifted behind Timur - a guard holding an iron spear with a cold face stared at Timur and said coldly.
This voice was so familiar that Timur couldn't help but tremble all over, and even didn't dare to look back. When he slowly turned around and saw the cold face under the iron helmet, he was almost scared to death - the person standing in front of him turned out to be Lu Ling.
"Are you...... Land...... Land...... Lu Ling?" Timur's eyes were stunned, and Lu Ling appeared silently beside him like a ghost, completely unexpected.
"We finally met again, Deyin Timur ......" finally saw the enemy, Lu Ling was angry, clenched his fists, and said indignantly, "You killed my father-in-law, seized the military power of Luoyang, and fled...... Now I'm going to kill you with my own hands to avenge my father-in-law, don't you want to run today!"
"You...... You actually helped Zhu Yuanzhang and dealt with us...... You are a great rebellion-" When Timur was panicked, he still did not forget to despise Lu Lingdao.
However, Lu Ling did not move at all, and said with confidence: "I, Lu Ling, have been saved by the Lu family, and I am only loyal to the Lu family in this life and this life, not to the imperial court...... In any case, it is an indisputable fact that you killed my father-in-law, and today I will make you pay for it with blood!"
"No...... It can't be, how are you...... How did you sneak into our army?" Seeing Lu Ling appear unconsciously, he was frightened, and Timur was puzzled.
"Hmph, the dying don't need to know the reason......" Lu Ling didn't seem to be like informing, and said angrily with a gun, "Deyin Timur, you killed my father-in-law in disregard of morality, and today I will let you die without turning a blind eye!
After speaking, Lu Ling was dumbfounded, raised his gun and pointed forward, and flew towards Deyin Timur.
"Hurry, come and stop him!-" Lu Ling came like a ghost, and Timur was suddenly frightened, desperately shouting at the guards on the left and right.
"Protect your lordship-" On the top of the city tower, the left and right generals came together with swords and shields, protecting Timur behind the formation, and lined up in a formation to resist Lu Ling's life-fighting blow.
However, Lu Ling didn't seem to look at the "miscellaneous fish" in front of him, swept his gun, and roared: "You miscellaneous fish, get out of the way for me!"
The earth-shattering momentum swept away the thousands of armies like a torrent, and the iron spear struck the head with a loud sound, and the enemies scattered in all directions, and the sword and shield formation immediately collapsed.
"Ahh......h Looking at Timur again, he had already fled and was not in place, Lu Ling was in a hurry to pursue, ignoring the mess under his feet, he leaped along the building and looked around.
Tayin Timur was already frightened, and ran down the stone stairs in a panic, preparing to flee on horseback. Lu Ling saw it in his eyes, slammed his gun, jumped up, and shouted: "Thief, where to escape?"
Timur was frightened by the roar, stumbled under his feet, and was more than ten steps away from the city, when he lost his body and fell down the stairs, and his appearance was extremely embarrassed.
Lu Ling was looking forward to the opportunity, seeing that Timur was rolling down the tower, he predicted the position, and threw his spear and spear.
At the same moment, Timur rolled to the bottom of the building, and suddenly felt a chill on his head, but he did not dare to raise his head, so he got up in pain, and fled in panic.
"Ah-" The flying spear was launched, and with a hissing sound, Lu Ling fixed his soul with a shot, and he missed the target due to Timur's cloak. Timur was also frightened, escaped life and death, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, ran head-on to his war horse, and rode to prepare to escape.
"Don't want to escape!-" Lu Ling saw that the thief was leaving, and flew downstairs to chase him.
"Driving...... Driving-" Lu Ling chased closely, Timur did not dare to turn back at all, and even the sound of driving the horse was extremely trembling, obviously terrified to the extreme.
had the heart to take revenge, but he couldn't catch up, seeing that the cooked duck flew, Lu Ling was very anxious. In addition, under the city tower, the Mengyuan army was surrounded on all sides, and Lu Ling failed to assassinate alone, fell into the encirclement of the enemy, and fell into a predicament.
"Damn, it's almost ......" Looking at the figure of Timur riding farther and farther away, Lu Ling sighed angrily, there was really nothing he could do.
However, now that the army is surrounded, Lu Ling has no weapons in his hand, and even if his martial arts skills are high, it is almost impossible to escape.
"Kill him-" The general of Meng Yuan saw it very much, and shouted an order, and all the troops faced each other with iron shields and spears, surrounding Lu Ling in the center of the formation.
"It's troublesome, I only thought of taking advantage of the chaos to blend in with the enemy troops, destroy the arsenal, and assassinate the enemy's commander, but I didn't think of a way to retreat......" Lu Ling's eyes were fixed, and he said secretly in his heart, "This trick is really too dangerous, not to mention that it doesn't work out now, am I destined to not be able to escape today......
"Kill-" Without waiting for Lu Ling to think of a strategy to break through, the Yuan army from all sides came to the killing formation, Miao knife and spear faced each other coldly, Lu Ling was unarmed, and the next moment he would be bleeding on the spot......
"Whoosh-" At the last moment, an arrow piercing the clouds in the air, in an inexplicable direction, roared longitudinally......
"Ahh......h
The main general was about to die, and the army's heart was suddenly in turmoil, and Lu Ling had not yet been corrected on the spot, and seeing the leader killed, the army was already frightened and had nothing to do.
"Good opportunity-" Lu Ling saw the opportunity, took advantage of the Yuan army's attention to die as a general, got up and jumped twice, and jumped up, and definitely snatched the spear of the soldier in front of him.
"Ahh
"Kill-" At the same moment, the shouting of killing started again, but this time, it was not the shouting of Meng Yuan's soldiers......
In the north direction of the city, a fierce cavalry suddenly appeared, a silver spear sunset bow, the overlord roaring in the sky, and the silver jade unicorn under the crotch, and the god was majestic in all directions - it was Qin Yu, I don't know when, Qin Yu led the cavalry troops, inexplicably killed from the city, and turned the enemy city defenders who were already in chaos upside down, and the ghosts cried wolves...... At the moment when Lu Ling was "in trouble", it was Qin Yu who shot the enemy's leader with a precise arrow and saved Lu Ling......
"It's General Qin...... The troops of the vanguard army, when did they ......" Lu Ling was overjoyed when he saw Qin Yu's arrival, but he was also curious about when the troops of the vanguard army appeared in the enemy city. According to his original plan, except for himself and his subordinates infiltrating the enemy city, there should be no more troops sneaking in, but Qin Yu appeared here with a cavalry unit, obviously the vanguard army left a hand.
Qin Yu's arrival frightened the Mengyuan defenders, and the troops who were already low in fighting spirit were scattered in an instant. As the main general, Timur did not know where to flee, leaving only a wail under the city pass. The vanguard troops were brave and unstoppable, and all of them rode into the battle with one as ten, and the enemy soldiers were unable to resist, and in an instant, the corpses of the Mengyuan army were all over the field......
"Could it be that Miss Lu ......" Lu Ling seemed to have guessed the clue, especially in a moment, muttered silently......
In the city of Shaanxi Pass, there was a sea of fire, and after a few battles, Qin Yu's army won a complete victory in a sneak attack...... (To be continued.) )
