0391, angry Tang Gate
Heartbroken, want to cry without tears.
Around the fifth watch, Xiong Chu was preparing to lead the follow-up female barracks and craftsman battalions to set off, and the sky in the southeast direction of Niutou Mountain was red, and the smoke was billowing out, which made everyone stunned.
Being able to reflect half the sky in red, even a fool can understand how fierce this fire is.
"Lord Qiqi: General Liu Guozhi led the leading troops to cross Niutou Mountain, because the sky was too dark and the terrain was unfamiliar, as a result, he strayed into the Trapped Dragon Valley and was ambushed by the enemy. More than 720 people under Lord Liu Guozhi were trapped in the sea of fire, and they were too late to be rescued. ”
Xiong Chu stood at the foot of the mountain like a statue, his eyes watching the southeast sky getting redder and redder, and the fire getting bigger and bigger.
He didn't say half a word, just bit his lips, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. The tears on his cheeks rolled down one by one.
From the first meeting in Shuozhou City, he cooperated with the rogue military advisor Wan Lian to lure himself to Jingde Villa, and then led six hundred ironclad silver guards to pay allegiance to him.
Since then, he has broken through the barrier and traveled 3,000 miles to occupy Uzhumuqin.
swept across the grassland, defeated Huang Taiji, and a iron spear shocked all directions.
Crossing the desert north, chasing the huge base, forcing the landing of Gunbu, galloping thousands of miles, the front of the army pointed directly at the Altan Mountain.
Then crisscrossed the Hexi Corridor for more than 9,000 miles, and finally captured the murderer of the lone wolf alive and returned with honor.
During this period, he has experienced more than ten bloody battles, and he has never complained.
Liu Guozhi, who is only twenty-six years old this year, what a good brother.
Because of his stubbornness, he buried more than 700 brothers in life and death, and Prince Xiong really wanted to die by hitting his head.
Although it was unfavorable to lose two generals before the battle, the whole army has now been drawn out, and if it is not possible to make a decision immediately, the remaining thousands of people will surely be doomed.
"Order Duan Peng, commander of the cavalry battalion, to gather the remnants as soon as possible, give up the combat goal of going south, and the whole army immediately turned around and headed west. Completely destroy all the villages and towns on the front line of Eagle's Beak Rock, and leave no chickens and dogs inside and outside the Tang Gate, and avenge the brothers!"
Holding back the infinite grief in his heart, Xiong Chu gritted his teeth and issued a new combat order almost word by word, which was also a bloody order to burn and kill.
Since the birth of the Xiong Family Army, it has always been a must-attack and a must-fight. Although he was heavily damaged, he completely destroyed his opponent in the end.
It was the first time that the entire army had been wiped out before the enemy was seen today, and it was the first time that the nest had been defeated.
A sudden defeat made the Eastern Route Army hold back its anger from top to bottom and have nowhere to vent.
The horse's halter, the human title, only the sound of hurried footsteps, low and heavy wheezing.
In the pre-dawn darkness, a wild dragon suddenly turned west and disappeared into the mountains.
Although Xiong Chu is in pain, he is a killer after all, not only has a tough mind, but also has a very comparable perception of danger.
Yes, the worries of the military advisor Wan Lian are right, and they have become a reality.
Although the Longmen Inn and Guangyuan County won a big victory, this is the sphere of influence of the Tang Gate after all.
As long as you don't kill all the men, women, and children, then there will be Tang Sect disciples to deliver the news.
The people who participated in the ambush of the Xiongchu East Road army tonight were not all the way, but a joint operation of more than 29,000 people concentrated on the three sides.
After crossing Niutou Mountain, there are only three roads to the south.
Go to the southwest, which is the ambush area of the Tang Sect's disciples;
To the south, it is the ambush area of Chengdu and Songpan Guards;
To the southeast, it was the ambush area of Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.
No matter which way Liu Guozhi goes, he will be wiped out.
If you kill Xiong Chu, you can be promoted to three levels and rise to prominence.
It's a great thing that fell from the sky, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to get it.
Liu Guozhi made a mistake, and just chose the gentle slope of the southeast to descend the mountain, but fell into the encirclement of Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers ambushed in the Trapped Dragon Valley.
Qin Liangyu succeeded in one blow, and although he added military merits, he also formed a killing feud with Xiong Chu. And it is no longer possible to reconcile, thus sowing a huge bane.
Xiong Chu was heartbroken that his brother had died unjustly, but he found that the huge murderous aura in the south not only did not weaken in the slightest, but became more and more powerful.
This is a killer's instinct, so Xiong Chu immediately made a decision and ordered his troops to turn around and move westward to directly raid the enemy's lair.
He single-handedly caused an irreparable fiasco and buried the lives of countless brothers, and for the first time, Prince Xiong understood the true meaning of "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it".
Now, not only is he not in a hurry to go south, but he is also waving his army into the enemy's lair, which is the embodiment of this consciousness.
It was this flash of inspiration, and without the slightest hesitation, two hours later, Xiong Chu's Eastern Route Army had already left behind the enemy's heavy troops.
At noon, Duan Peng, the commander of the angry Xiao Cavalry Battalion, led the remnants of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of 480 people to suddenly appear at the South Pass of the Sword Pavilion.
The more than 200 people left behind in the Tang Gate were waiting for the news of victory from the front, and they did not expect that the enemy would appear in front of their eyes, and it would be too late to close the city gate.
As soon as the world is wide in Nanguan, the trapped dragon enters the sea and does not return.
Revenge leaves no trace, and murder is silent.
Duan Peng and the others only killed people with their heads bored, and they would never set fires, so they didn't alarm the Quartet. Then he immediately waved his army and rushed straight to the location of the old nest of the Tang Gate, eighty miles to the southwest: Yingzui Rock Town.
After entering Nanguan, Xiong Chu's eyes were red, like a mad lion, and he shouted viciously: "Sima Cheng, when it is time for your trap camp to play its role, leave all the sundries and advance lightly, and bring the tiger squat cannon and flowering bombs to catch up with Duan Peng in front." ”
"After approaching the town of Eagle's Beak Rock, shoot all the shells out for Lao Tzu. The army then arrived, and apart from our own people, Lao Tzu did not want to see anything alive that he could run, otherwise the brothers would not be able to turn a blind eye. ”
Sima Cheng led the trapping camp to set off urgently, and Xiong Chu simply sat down on the Guan Tower.
Yan Erniang and Lan'er came up together and asked, "Isn't Xianggong leaving?"
"Go, of course, I have to go, but not now!" Prince Xiong stared at the mountains to the east and said: "This is the only way for the Tang Sect soldiers to return to their lair, and I will return a tooth for a tooth here, and blood for blood, to avenge Liu Guozhi and them." ”
"You go down and order Huang Yanying to arrange for the women's battalion to lie in ambush in the pass, carefully inspect the firearms, and wait for the order to attack. Qiao Rushan's firearms battalion was ordered to be arranged along the city wall, but everyone changed into the clothes of Tang Sect disciples so as not to reveal their identities. ”
"The gates are still open, keep them as they were, and the blood stains at the gates of the city should be cleaned up, and some hay should be burned to drive away the blood. Today I am going to close the door and fight the dogs here, and wipe out all the troops of the Tang Gate who participated in the ambush of Liu Guozhi. ”
Xiong Chu commanded the troops to be arranged in full swing, but time was passing rapidly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.
The three-way army that infiltrated south of Niutou Mountain to participate in the ambush battle last night waited for half a day and a night, and only Qin Liangyu's troops made a contribution in the first battle, and the other two ambushes did not wait for the enemy to come.
Is it true that the enemy has suddenly disappeared and has been frightened and has given up his attempt to retreat south?
Because once the enemy shrinks to the front line of Hanzhong, it will belong to the defensive area of the governor of Sanguan in Shaanxi, and Chengdu can only stare dryly.
Since the enemy did not continue south, there was no point in holding in the valley, and the battle was over.
Although it can't get the credit for exterminating Xiong Chu, it is also a great credit to keep Chengdu from harassment.
At the end of the day, all the ambush soldiers returned as a group, and more than 3,600 soldiers of the Tang Sect also retreated lazily.
The reason why it is said to be lazy is that Xiong Chu saw it on the upper floor.
The Ming army Xiong Chu didn't see much, but the Mongolian army and the Jurchen army, Xiong Chu saw a lot.
The people who have returned now, although they are uniformly dressed, have a variety of weapons, and they are not the unified system of the army, and they still maintain the habits of people in the martial arts.
Not only were there no herds of horses, but there were also no well-organized queues. They were all in groups of three or five, and they came densely along the way. Calling each other brothers, laughing and laughing, they don't look like an army at all.
Only in this way, Prince Xiong's heart is even more sad: my brothers were killed by such a rabble, and they really can't be blinded.
A group of refugees-like troops entered Nanguan, but no one looked at the city walls, but accelerated their westward march, apparently in a hurry to return home.
Seeing that all the people had come in, Xiong Chu said expressionlessly: "Open the cannon and smash these grandsons!"
Qiao Rushan's current firearms battalion is only half of the men, that is, one hundred and twenty tiger squat cannons, which are divided into four groups to fire in turn, controlling the ambush area with a length of three miles.
As soon as Prince Xiong gave the order, all the cannons suddenly roared.
The flowering bomb was still made on the territory of the guncloth, except for the use of the Xiong Chu forced landing on the guncloth, and everyone has been reluctant to use it later.
But today is different, if you don't bomb these murderers in front of you into scum, the soldiers feel sorry for their dead brothers. So when the shells flew out, no one felt distressed.
Xiong Chu exterminated the Tang Sect at any cost, not just to avenge Liu Guozhi and them.
Because the disciples of the Tang Sect have more or less practiced some martial arts, they will use hidden weapons, and they will also use poison.
If you can't completely defeat them in an instant, once thousands of people launch hidden weapons, some kind of hidden arrows, darts, bodhi seeds and the like, it will cause great casualties to your own people.
This time more than 700 people have been lost, and the East Road army can no longer afford to bear the heavy casualties, otherwise there will be more than 1,000 female soldiers left, and more than 800 masters of the craftsman battalion, it will be impossible to travel long distances, it will be bad.
One hundred and twenty tiger squat cannons, bombarding for half an hour in one go, are very rare in the regular Ming army.
By the time all the Tiger Squat artillery stopped bombing, there were not many people left on the road who could stand up and gasp.
During the bombing, all the Tang disciples who were looking for a hiding place were all poisoned by the female soldiers who were hiding in the dark.
However, the female soldiers strictly carried out the orders of the bear prince, and instead of using swords to fight, they used short guns and bird guns to kill each other.
Although less than 1,000 people wanted to surrender, the bear prince never expressed his position, and finally all of them died under the bird's gun.
Seeing that the battle was coming to an end, Prince Xiong called the commander of the female barracks, that is, Yehena Lamuqing, over and asked, "Where is the follow-up baggage battalion?"
Mu Qing whispered: "Because they are worried about exposing the target, they and the escorted seized materials have been hiding in Beishan. The situation here has not yet been finalized, and I have not yet ordered them to come out. ”
Nodding, Xiong Chu glanced at those who were cleaning up the corpses and said, "Now, the plank road has fallen into our hands, you go down and let the flag guard team and the law enforcement team accompany the baggage team to work hard." Immediately return to Guangyuan County from the plank road, and find a way to transport all the grain, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and items needed for home life, which is of great use. ”
