Chapter 464: Fight with a coffin
At the insistent request of Zuo Zongtang and Prince Jin, General He Lushi commanded the soldiers to carry the coffin onto a carriage, and the generals all acquiesced to letting Zuo Zongtang take the coffin to battle.
Zuo Zongtang pondered and added to the generals: "At the beginning, you can use a carriage to carry the coffin to Caodi Pass, I think, let the enemy see that I am carrying the coffin to battle, and let the enemy know that I have to fight to the death in order to deter the enemy." Therefore, I demanded that the soldiers carry the coffin and follow me when approaching the grass pass, and that in that case there be enough rope and sticks on the wagon. This time, I really have the belief that I will die, and if I don't take back the grassland, I don't want to come back alive!"
"Hanging up the free card, after all, is not the solution to the problem, Mr. Zuo is really commendable, just do what Mr. Zuo said. Except for Lord Ling and Lord Tao, who stayed in Bridge Wind City, we, the generals, must lead our troops to meet you well. He Lushi felt the shock brought by Zuo Zongtang, and then ordered the soldiers to find wooden sticks and ropes and put them in the carriage.
The next morning, Zuo Zongtang and Prince Jin were stopped, and they were about to fight together.
The weapon that Zuo Zongtang prepared was a long wooden stick, because he was used to using a wooden stick.
Prince Jin brought a weapon, still a spear, and he sat at the front of the carriage containing the coffin. According to what he said yesterday, he will personally send Zuo Zongtang a coffin to battle.
The gate of Qiaofeng City was wide open, Zuo Zongtang rode out first, Prince Jin followed closely with the carriage, and behind them were 10,000 soldiers!
He Lu Shi let the other generals go up to the city tower with him, and looked at Zuo Zongtang and they went straight to the faint grass pass.
On the upper part of the city tower, the imperial physician Xue Buzhi was also there, and he said softly to Tao Ziyun: "Lord Tao, Prince Jin has been cured, when will you send me back to the capital?"
Tao Ziyun replied lightly: "Don't worry, let's see how the soldiers recover the lost territory!"
Although Xue Buzhi wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible. But he couldn't ride a horse or drive a carriage, and Tao Ziyun didn't promise to send him back, so he had to respond with righteousness and awe-inspiring: "Then so be it - I will also stay a little longer to see how the soldiers defeat the enemy, so that the wounded soldiers can be treated, which can be regarded as contributing to the country." ”
"Haha! That's it. Tao Ziyun replied to Xue Buzhi approvingly.
Zuo Zongtang led his men and horses to rush to Caodi Pass, and not far away, the gate of Caodi Pass was wide open, and an enemy army poured out. To attack the men and horses led by Zuo Zongtang!
"Brothers, rush with me! If you don't take back the grassland pass, you vow not to return to the city!" Zuo Zongtang beckoned the officers and soldiers behind him, and rushed towards the enemy army with a shout all the way.
Seeing that it was not far from the enemy army in front of him, Zuo Zongtang shouted to Prince Jin, who was driving the carriage behind him: "Lord Wang, let the soldiers carry the coffin with you!"
"Okay, come on, carry the coffin forward!" Prince Jin called eight soldiers, carried the coffin, and followed the carriage.
The two armies stopped at a distance where their faces could be seen clearly, and the two sides lined up against each other.
The enemy general, led by the enemy army, holds a pair of large hammers in both hands and rides a tall horse. The fierce god rushed over like a vicious man!
Zuo Zongtang slapped his horse to meet him, and without saying a word, he fought with that enemy general!
Prince Jin in the carriage saw the enemy general using a pair of sledgehammers, and he was angry: "Okay! It turns out that the old man was seriously injured." It's you, you thief! The old man wants to take revenge today!"
The enemy general looked at Prince Jin, who was driving the carriage, and then at the black lacquered coffin carried by eight soldiers behind the carriage, and let out a wild laugh: "Haha! Look at you! It's clear that you're here to die! You still want to avenge that hammer?! Look at me to give you another hammer to fulfill your heart!"
Zuo Zongtang used the wooden stick in his hand to resist the enemy general. Don't let him go over to attack Prince Jin: "The one who wants to carry the coffin into battle is the general! If I can't recover the grassland pass, I will die on this battlefield and don't want to go back!"
The enemy general looked at the coffin again, and while fighting Zuo Zongtang, he insidiously shouted to Zuo Zongtang: "Do you want to fight to the death? Then I will also fulfill you! But as the saying goes: 'Capture the thief first captures the king', you are the vanguard official of the Qing court, right? That Prince Jin, the official position must be above you, he is a real 'king', I will solve him first!"
The enemy general wanted to deal with Prince Jin first, but he was desperately resisted by Zuo Zongtang, and he couldn't get out for a while. But at this time, Prince Jin stood at the front of the carriage, holding the long reins of the horse in one hand and holding the spear in the other.
While rushing over, Prince Jin shouted at the enemy general and asked: "Who will be the enemy who has come!? You shamelessly attacked this king that day! I can't see a single figure! I see that you dare to show your face in public today, and it depends on whether you dare to report your name!"
"It doesn't hurt to report the big name! This general is the vanguard officer of the circle country and the general of the south -- Ambula. In fact, the one who attacked you that day, what kind of king, was one of our helpers, I don't know why, after he injured you, he said goodbye, he left a pair of sledgehammers on the battlefield, and afterwards I came to pick it up, and the helper didn't come, so I used it! He couldn't kill you, let me kill you!"
Zuo Zongtang hurriedly reminded Prince Jin, who was busy rushing over: "Lord Wang, be careful! Don't let the sledgehammer hit again!"
Prince Jin, who had tasted the heavy blow of the sledgehammer, saw the sledgehammer flying towards him, and heard Zuo Zongtang's urgent reminder, and hurriedly drove the horse to the side.
"Crack!" There was a loud bang, and the sledgehammer hit the wheels of the carriage, and the wheels were cut in half!
The empty carriage was still being pulled and running, and was about to overturn! Prince Jin jumped on the horse that pulled the carriage, and forced it to come to a sharp stop, and to unload the carriage, and he was to ride the horse to continue the battle!
While fighting with An Bura, who only had a sledgehammer, Zuo Zongtang told Prince Sùjin: "Don't worry, my lord, our army, in order to let our people do their best, only now go out of the city to meet us, we will capture this enemy general alive before they arrive!"
Yes, the officers and soldiers of Qiaofeng City are pouring out of the city! The generals of the Qing Dynasty are coming, and it will be even more difficult for An Bula to resist! An Bula used a sledgehammer to pull away Zuo Zongtang's stick and rushed towards Prince Jin, who was busy unloading the carriage! An Bura also bent down on horseback and picked up the sledgehammer on the ground by the way!
Zuo Zongtang chased after the horse, and when he approached the carriage, he caught up with An Bula, and fought with him again!
An Bula's double hammer swung quickly, smashing Zuo Zongtang's stick and picking it up!(To be continued......)
