Hu Guozhu was resting in the tent when he overheard the report from his subordinates. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long ago, Wei Xiaobao burned the granary in Hedong, and the grain and grass of 400,000 soldiers were burned, and Wu Sangui ordered to march quickly, fight quickly, and capture Kangxi alive within ten days.

Seeing that big things can be accomplished, he suddenly killed Cheng Cheng in the middle of the way, which actually made Wei Xiaobao bad for a good thing, and Wu Yingqi was actually killed by Wei Xiaobao, although Wei Xiaobao did not kill it himself, after all, the matter started because of Wei Xiaobao. Hu Guozhu, as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, how could he not be anxious.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, the consumption of grain and grass is too large, tens of thousands of deniers a day, relying on a few nearby cities to help, there is no difference at all, there are few soldiers left around the Emperor of Mangdang Mountain, even if there is one more Wei Xiaobao, Hu Guozhu doesn't care, hundreds of thousands of battles, just one person wants to reverse the tide of the war and turn the tide, this kind of thing will only appear in a dream.

"Report to the general, the trace of the little emperor has been found in the valley twenty miles ahead, they are escaping to the north, please make a decision." The herald fell to his knees on one leg and sang loudly.

"Very good, send an order to the three armies, immediately pull out the camp and march, send someone to inform General Ma Bao of the West Road, let them march quickly, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, be sure to join forces with our army." Hu Guozhu instructed, and the herald was ordered to go out of the tent, hurry up the horse, and gallop to the Mabao camp tent on the west road.

Hu Guozhu twisted his beard and laughed loudly, "Dog Emperor, today next year is your death day." I caught you, and I swept away the Qing Dynasty, just around the corner. ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two roads were united, blocking the entrance to the valley, at this time, Wei Xiaobao and others were only a few miles away, Wei Xiaobao and others walked very slowly, in order to introduce the thieves into the valley, everyone was dressed up, they were extremely 'embarrassed', and from time to time on the road threw the swords and guns on the ground, pretending to be embarrassed to flee, Wei Xiaobao was wearing a dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, and was protected by everyone in the center.

The valley is narrow and slender, into a pocket type, one side is thick, one side is thin, the more the road is narrower, the end of the valley is a big river, for fear that Wei Xiaobao and others will escape along the river, Hu Guozhu ordered Ma Bao to lead 20,000 troops, outflank the past from the right road, he personally led an army of 80,000, mighty, broke into the valley, a small valley, suddenly was crowded with tens of thousands of people, wind and rain, Kangxi's soldiers and major generals were slight, only 10,000 people, Hu Guozhu was not afraid of Kangxi and other ambushes, the strength of the two sides is so different, all conspiracies, It's not worth mentioning.

"Don't run away with the Dog Emperor, whoever can capture the Dog Emperor alive will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and the official will be promoted to the third level."

On the one hand, Hu Guozhu urged the troops, and on the other hand, he gave heavy rewards to boost morale. Wu Bing was greatly encouraged, and they all tried their best to move forward, even among their companions, they even blew their beards and stared, and they did not give in to each other in order to compete for merit.

"General, the sky is very overcast today, let's be careful." The strategist beside Hu Guozhu looked at the dark clouds covering the sun and the cloudy sky, and reminded in a low voice.

"Haha... What does it matter if it rains, as long as the dog emperor is caught, we will be a great achievement, when the brothers will pursue the victory, set foot on the Bauhinia City in one fell swoop, and return to the dynasty after victory, Emperor Zhaowu will reward the three armies, I will ensure that all of you have horses to ride, high-ranking officials have to do, everyone has endless glory, endless gold and silver, and not enough beauties to sleep...... Haha, give the order to the whole army, accelerate the advance, and fight quickly. ”

"Brothers, sit down and rest, what's the hurry, with me, no one needs to panic."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, after walking for a while, Wei Xiaobao called everyone to rest, and Zhang Kangnian persuaded, "Brother Wei, let's hurry up, they will catch up after a while." ”

Wei Xiaobao took out a cigarette, gave one to Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian, and said with a smile, "What is there to worry about, this is the valley, the road is narrow, it is very difficult to walk, even if they have a lot of people, it is not easy to catch up with us, not to mention, we are walking fast, the thieves can't all enter the valley, what's the point, when they all come in, just give them a pot, wouldn't it be wonderful." ”

Seeing that Wei Xiaobao was leisurely and didn't care, the two had no choice but to obey the order, and ordered his subordinates to sit on the ground and camp on the spot to rest, "Brother Zhang, let's go into the cave later, you lead people around the back of the enemy through the cave, Brother Zhao and I left five hundred soldiers to block the pursuers, and when the time comes, the smoke will be the number, and Li Dequan on the mountain will do it together, understand?" ”

"Brother Wei, just take a look, I'll take someone to go first."

The shadow of the chasing soldiers was already seen behind, Zhang Kangnian ordered thousands of soldiers and continued to move forward, "The Dog Emperor is there, chase after it, capture the Dog Emperor alive." Five hundred meters behind him, the thieves came out one by one and chased after them. Not far in front of him, there was also the shadow of a thief.

Wei Xiaobao threw the unfinished cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it a few times with his foot, and waved his hand and ordered, "Brothers, go..."

A few days ago, Wei Xiaobao had been taking Zhang Kangnian and the others to inspect the terrain, and finally found this valley, the valley is not only narrow, but there is also a hidden cave on the Chinese side, through the cave, you can detour back behind the enemy from the opposite side.

Wei Xiaobao led everyone and followed the footsteps of Zhang Kangnian and others and turned into the cave.

"The Dog Emperor has entered the cave, rush, kill..."

When the thieves saw Wei Xiaobao and the others hiding in the cave, they immediately rushed over, "Here, here." ”

"Puff..."A few thieves who approached, before they finished speaking, they were sent to Elysium by Wei Xiaobao with a handful of stones.

"Listen to my orders, put on a black scarf, and prepare lime..."Wei Xiaobao commanded, the entrance of the cave is about two meters wide, and it can accommodate four or five soldiers to act at the same time, and in the cave, Wei Xiaobao has already sent people to prepare enough lime chips.

As instructed, everyone took out a black scarf from their arms and covered their faces, after all, the lime is too choking, and if you are not careful, it will affect your own people.

Wei Xiaobao divided the five hundred soldiers into ten teams, two teams in a group, one group sprinkled lime powder, one group attacked with archery, and rotated every half an hour, after all, Lime was too domineering, and if he didn't take a break, ordinary people would be very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the enemy soldiers were crowded with holes, Wei Xiaobao made a knife-like gesture with his hand, and made a downward chopping posture, and with an order, dozens of 'hardcover' poached eggs flew out, (The lime chips are mostly wrapped in leaves, round in shape, similar to eggs.) ）

Dozens of poached eggs, flying towards the thief soldiers, the thieves did not know why, instinctively raised their weapons to block outward, and they heard a bang, the poached eggs exploded in the crowd, and suddenly, a gray dust, mixed with a choking smell, drifted away. (To be continued.) )
