Chapter 167: Full of Hope
In the afternoon of the same day, the Qing army attacked again, but the rebels still held on. The two sides fought hard for a while at Taniguchi, but they retreated after a short time.
The commander of the Qing army received a letter sent secretly, on which was a letter of surrender from Geng Shanyun, the general of the righteous army. The letter claimed that the commander of the rebel army had died, and now he was in chaos, and he had actually served a little girl under the age of 20 as the main one. The reason why they still dare to resist is because the rebels have family members in the valley and have to fight hard. Please ask the Qing army to suspend the offensive first, and when he is young, he will lead people out of the valley to surrender and offer the charming Xiao Zhonghui.
When the boss saw this letter, he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked his staff: "What do you think?"
One of the staff said: "These thieves, it's useless to drop. The thief is cunning, maybe there is some trickery, and the general should not pay attention to it. ”
Another said: "No, although these people are thieves, they are still desperate when they are in danger, and our army will inevitably lose its troops." If you can really surrender without a fight, it is also a beautiful thing. Besides, I also heard that Xiao Banhe's daughter was born extremely beautiful, if the general can get it...... Hey hey ......"
The coach was hesitant, muttered for a while, and said, "Let's stop and slow down first, and then look at the situation." ”
That night, the Qing army, tired from a day, was lying down to sleep. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a cry in the valley like the sky was cracking. It was a lot of people weeping together, and the voice was loud and the grief was touching. Crying is really the tears of the hearer, and everyone is emotional. When the Qing army listened, where could they sleep?
This burst of crying lasted for most of the hour, and everyone's scalp was numb from crying. Several Qing generals appeased for a while, and then ran to the valley mouth in a rage and scolded, shouting: "Do you want to mourn your mother and son?
Before the words fell, Gu Li suddenly scolded loudly. Several Qing generals were stunned for a moment, only listening to the stinking voice, but it was vulgar and indescribable. The words are vicious and hurtful and profound. It's infuriating.
Several Qing generals began to scold each other, and after a while, they were scolded speechless, and they could no longer speak. How could the Qing people be able to match the rich experience of the Han people. I only heard that my heart exploded, and my chest was full of anger. The Qing soldiers were first crying so numb that their scalps were scolded, and then they were scolded, and some of them plugged their ears to sleep, and the rest followed suit when they saw this. But he gradually fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the valley and rushed over to slash and slash. This is exactly the martial arts master led by Chen Shu, when the Qing army sentry scouts shouted a warning, many people blocked their ears, and where could they hear it? Suddenly, many people fell asleep and lost their heads in a daze.
Chen Shu and the others rushed to kill for a while, and when the Qing army came to their senses, they retreated early.
All the Qing soldiers didn't sleep well that night, and they all looked tired when they woke up in the morning. Feebly. Seeing this, the commander of the Qing army said angrily: "This is a delaying plan by these thieves, and any letter must be false." I had to order a team of people to go up and feint, and the rest took the opportunity to catch up on sleep.
This day and a half dragged on effortlessly. Chen Shu and the others were both surprised and delighted, and their spirits were greatly lifted.
But in the afternoon of the same day, the commander of the Qing army personally went to the front of the battle to supervise the formation, and several Qing generals personally led the army to attack.
The intensity of this time was suddenly extraordinary, and I saw the Qing army rushing straight up like a tide. A wave fell. Immediately after that, another wave rushed up, and after a while, the valley mouth was once again full of corpses. The Qing army threw torches and plants into the fire, and burned the corpses together. Taniguchi suddenly burst into flames, mixed with a violent unpleasant smell. When you smell it, you feel dizzy.
Chen Shu thought to himself that the commander of the Qing army had some ideas, wasn't this the prototype of poison gas warfare? However, he couldn't ask for it when he burned Taniguchi with fire like this. So he made them tear off their clothes, soak them in the water, and wrap them around their mouths and noses, and immediately they were no longer afraid of the smell.
The fire had little impact on the valley. The offensive was also blocked, so that the Qing army wasted another afternoon. was so angry that the commander of the Qing army dragged down the staff who came up with this idea and cut it down.
That night, the rebels harassed again. The Qing army simply withdrew most of them from the valley and camped outside.
This Qing army was originally to prevent the Jin people from moving, so how could they take these Xu Yi troops in their eyes. Unexpectedly, after two days, he was extremely embarrassed, and his morale was quite depressed.
The commander of the Qing army was quite a famous general, recognized the truth, and ordered the three armies to rest and recuperate, and break through the valley tomorrow, and everyone will be rewarded.
At this time, Chen Shu was waiting in the valley, but he received news from Xiao Zhonghui that a hanging basket had been set up, and Situ He had already sent someone down.
Chen Shu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the Zuo brothers to be optimistic about Gukou, and he and Geng Shanyun, Huang Rong and others returned to the deepest part of the valley. I saw a large group of people surrounded under the cliff, all of them looking excited. Seeing Chen Shu and the others coming, Fang respectfully saluted and opened a way.
Xiao Zhonghui was also overjoyed, and shouted, "Ah Shu!" walked over and pulled him, pointed to the hanging basket on the cliff wall and said, "Look, this time, five people can be picked up." The eldest brother said that there are still three more shelves, and I think we can all be picked up in one day. ”
Chen Shu stepped forward and tried the strength of the bamboo basket and rope, and couldn't help but be amazed. He sighed: "It is really admirable that the royal house faction has been able to collect so many strong ropes in just two days. ”
This cliff is nearly 100 feet high, and it is already an extremely amazing project to put such a hanging basket on the erection, not to mention that there are three more.
The person from the Wangwu faction was surnamed He, but he was Situ He's junior brother, and he smiled when he heard this: "It's nothing, it's just skilled." We have a lot of these hanging baskets there, and we know how to make them. This rope is made by myself after finding a lot of ropes, and we have always done it well. Otherwise, how can you find so many in a short time. ”
Chen Shu nodded and sighed: "Thank you really for your high righteousness, this time we can get rid of the great difficulty, we will definitely repay you for your kindness." ”
Xiao Zhonghui also nodded.
The person surnamed He was very real, and he was greatly embarrassed by everyone's grateful eyes, and said embarrassedly: "This ...... It's nothing. Everyone is anti-Ho Zhi. Well, by the way, my senior brother said, if you are willing, you can go to the vicinity of Wangwu Mountain to find a place to build a foundation. We are still beautiful there, and the Hu people are far away, and they can't control us at all. ”
Chen Shu smiled: "Let's talk about it then, if that's the case, we will still be neighbors in the future." ”
Xiao Zhonghui and others remembered that they would live freely in their new home in the future. Live a self-sufficient and leisurely life. It's like a dream, and many people are smiling and looking forward to their future lives. (To be continued.) )
