Chapter 925: After the Break

Swore to sweep away the Huns without regard for themselves, and 5,000 mink brocade mourned Hu Chen.? Come on,.! Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream.

Wuding River, at this time called the luxury water. Originating in the Baiyu Mountains, on the reckless hills, it meets many small tributaries, roaring and rushing in the narrow valleys between the steep stone walls and the south. Twists and turns, all the way stretches for nearly a thousand miles, and finally merges into the Yellow River.

Luyan Water is a river with a unique character, it is bold, wide, frank and open, like a simple and simple man in northern Shaanxi. There was a pulsating torrent in its seemingly calm bosom, and from time to time golden sprays shimmered in the direct rays of the sun. If it rains upstream, it suddenly turns into an enraged pack of lions, roaring and overflowing the riverbed, filling the entire valley with a daunting look.

Due to the continuous wars of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tun army reclaimed, destroyed the forest, destroyed the vegetation, and in the Sui Dynasty, the luxury of Yanshui was no longer a "clear stream". The name Wuding River is that although it has not officially replaced the official record of the luxury water, at this time, in Shuofang, Diaoyin and other places where it flows, the people have begun to call it Wuding. Its turbid current is rolling, and the sediment is precipitated on the riverbed, making it difficult to stabilize the river body, and people call it uncertain. The topography and landform on both sides of the bank have also undergone great changes, and three types of wind and sand land, river plateau and stream, and loess hills and ravines have gradually formed, showing a desolate style.

At this time, it was nearly a year old, it was cold in Longshang, and the hustle and bustle of the water had subsided, and a white glacier was lying in the valley, and countless ice edges were stacked on top of each other. Like a dragon in white armor and silver scales asleep. Dreaming a long dream.

However, those who are familiar with this river know that this seemingly beautiful glacier as a jade belt is at its most dangerous at this time, even more dangerous than the roaring rapids in the middle of summer. Although the surface of the river is piled with ice edges, these ice edges are unstable, and if anyone dares to step on the surface of this glacier, then they may step on those ice surfaces of different thicknesses at any time, and one will be swallowed by the glacier if he is not careful.

At this time, Chang Biao took the more than 4,000 people and galloped all the way. Finally, he carried the grain and grass to the bank of this extremely dangerous glacier.

Looking at the glacial river glowing in the night, Chang Biao showed a rare smile. The glacier is a dangerous place for others. But for Chang Biao, who was chased at this time and had no way out, this glacier was a life-saving place.

The water comes from the northwest. Towards the southeast. In front, it happens to be the reckless Longshan. Extravagant water washes out a huge river stream on Longshan, along the east bank of the river stream, there is a thin path that can be carved through the Yin Confucian forest.

Now, Chang Biao and his four thousand ladies surrounded more than 1,000 large and small ox carts and carriages into a car formation at the intersection of Luyanshui and Longshan, and laid out three layers inside and outside. The car formation happened to be blocked on the triangle, guarding the path to Rulin.

On one side is the rushing and dangerous glacier, on the other side is the reckless Longshan Mountain, and behind it is the path leading to the Confucian forest.

After the car array is set up. Chang Biao couldn't help but sigh, that Ma Ning was indeed a general, and he actually thought of such a good place in a short time. If it weren't for Ma Ning's explanation, if he had taken thousands of men and horses and thousands of baggage carts to the northwest, the convoy would definitely be blocked on the east bank of the luxury water and slowly cross the river. If the enemy cavalry catches up at that time, it will really be the end.

Now guarding this place, because of the extravagant water and Longshan sandwich, the three sides of this temporary car formation have been impregnated, and he was able to line up all the more than 1,000 cars in front of the north end. Lay down a triple line of defense.

The car formation has been arranged, but Ma Ning has not yet arrived. Chang Biao's heart couldn't help sinking, although he usually looked down on those Xiliang fans, but when he really fought, he still had to rely on them.

He turned his head. The night wind is howling, and the glacier is vast. Two hundred Xiliang cavalry had dismounted at this time. He was sitting in the back of the car and waiting quietly.

In order to avoid being discovered, Chang Biao ordered no fires to be lit in the temporary camp. In the whistling wind, the four thousand old and young people who were in ragged clothes and shivering behind the car formation, Chang Biao couldn't help frowning. Ma Ning has not returned, if the enemy is killed at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it with those two hundred soldiers alone.

Although behind the car array was the path leading to Rulin, Chang Biao did not dare to escape. Throw away your baggage and run away, and then you will not escape death. And if you bring a baggage, on that steep mountain road, you will never run far, and there will be no way to escape.

"Always far away, always scene."

"Your Excellency." Chang Biao's two cronies immediately responded.

Chang Biao pointed to the spears and bows that had been unloaded and stacked behind the car formation and said, "Quick, send all the spears to those people, and then see if there are any hunters among them." All the Orions gave them bows and arrows, and they all stood guard behind the chariots. In addition, while the enemy has not yet come, let all the people immediately dig a ditch in front of the car formation, as deep as they can! ”

"My lord, these people are all the people of Houzhou, and it hasn't been long since they surrendered. Send the weapons down, what if these people mess up then? Moreover, these weapons are to be sent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to replenish the army, and now they are all used by these mud legs, and I am afraid that the prince will investigate it at that time. Chang Yuan worried.

"Why don't you care so far now, let's talk about it now." Chang Biao said with a frown.

Chang Yuan and the others didn't say much more, and immediately drove those people up, sent out all three thousand spears, and selected some hunters who could shoot arrows from among them, and no matter what their archery skills were, they developed the bows and bundles of arrows. In order to exert his combat effectiveness, Chang Biao was very clever to make the two hundred Xiliang soldiers the leader, each of whom received twenty people's husbands, and then the two squads became a large team. The 10th team had 400 people in a group, and the 10th regiment had exactly 4,000 people. The ten regiments were divided into two and took turns digging ditches and patrolling, and the camp was in full swing at the moment, which also made those people free from cranky thoughts.

Those people can't let them fight, but they don't slow to let them dig trenches. For the sake of their lives, they worked extremely hard, especially Chang Biao's promise that as long as they waited until the reinforcements arrived, everyone would be rewarded with a hundred dollars, and the people would work harder. In less than an hour. Before the car formation, three ditches with more than one person deep and many feet wide had been dug.

On the highlands by the river. The Glaive Defensive Array constructed from the Chariot Battles has been completed. The outer layer is surrounded by 1,000 carts loaded with grain from end to end, and the inner ring is a carriage originally loaded with ordnance and horse grass, and all the cattle are concentrated in the center of the circle. Chang Biao also asked the people to pile all the sand and soil that was dug in the ditch in front of the car formation, and built a half-chest-high earthen wall.

Chang Biao, who hadn't rested for a day and a night, had bloodshot eyes and worries in his eyes. Walking around in the circle like ants on a hot pot, my heart is like a mess.

Why hasn't Ma Ning come back with the eight hundred soldiers, is there already an accident? Also, the messenger sent to Rulin didn't know where he had gone, and he didn't know if he could bring back the rescue in the quickest time. The triple defense of the car array, the earthen wall, and the ditch seems to be good. But when he remembered that there were only two hundred real soldiers in the car, and the rest were a group of people, he had to worry again.

What if that Ma Ning sees that the situation is bad and runs away? Probably not, there are still two hundred of his brothers here. After a few contacts, Ma Ning also knew some of his character, that was a very bloody and righteous fanzi, and he should not be able to do things to leave his brother.

The more I think about it, the more I don't know the bottom, and the more I think about it, the more scared I become......

Ma Ning's two hundred subordinates, each with twenty people, were divided into two at this time, one with spears and bows and arrows, and was standing behind the earthen wall in front of the chariot array, waiting for the battle. Although there were two thousand people. It was densely covered behind the entire earthen wall, but when he saw the appearance of those people holding spears, Chang Biao didn't dare to guarantee that these people would turn around and surrender once they really encountered the attacking enemy.

The other man was not idle at this time, and under the command of those soldiers, he was cutting the felled trees into stakes, and in front of the three ravines, he laid sharp stakes to prevent horses.

In the night, the shallow hooked moon had risen to mid-heaven, emitting a cold light.

"My lord, they're back, they're back!" Far ahead, on the high ground. A small group of ten soldiers was galloping on horseback, and it was the same soldiers who had been sent out to investigate the front.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

"Look clearly! Do you see it clearly? ”

"My lord, it's General Ma!" Chang Yuan jumped on the frame, and after looking at it from a distance, he twisted his neck excitedly and said to Chang Biao. This moment. He even changed his previous title to General to General.

The spirit of the camp was lifted, especially by the people. It was almost thunderous.

Chang Biao couldn't hold back his excitement, and climbed into the cart after a few rubs, and a team of people and horses crossed the high ground and appeared in his field of vision, but the leader was Ma Ning. Chang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, now it's okay.

Some people who couldn't bear it for a long time crossed the earthen wall, and excitedly carried wooden planks to build a bridge over the ditch to give the returning Xiliang cavalry a way.

Chang Biao quickly noticed that Ma Ning's men and horses seemed to be missing dozens of horses, "Why did you come back, who is coming?" ”

Ma Ning chuckled: "It's the Great Chen Emperor Chen Pojun who came, and he came with ten thousand horsemen!" ”

"It's all at this time, General Ma is still interested in joking!" Chang Biao frowned, a little dissatisfied.

Suddenly, a spear reached Chang Biao's throat, and Ma Ning sneered on his horse: "The general is not interested in joking with you, to tell you the truth, my brother has now surrendered to the Chen Dynasty, and the emperor has just given him the rank of General Hu Benlang, the rank of General Yunlu, and the Earl of Zhongwu." I can't help but tell you the good news, Xue Juling's army was defeated, and Xue Ju and Xue Renyue have been captured alive by Chen Junsheng. In addition, Lord Chang has always been smart, so you might as well think about why my emperor can suddenly appear here! ”

Chang Biao's sweat came down, and he looked around, only to see Ma Ning's subordinates saying a few words in the camp, and then the whole camp became noisy. The next moment, one after another, the people quickly threw all the weapons in their hands into the field, and then they all walked out of the camp with their heads in their hands.

"I surrender, I surrender!" Chang Biao was reluctant at this time, but he wondered what the so-called Lingwu Battle really was. What he thought was that this camp was already under the control of Ma Ning, and if he didn't surrender, he would die.

"Brother Ma, I am willing to surrender. I am willing to give all the 10,000 stone of grain and hundreds of carts of ordnance here to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Hmph, these are already the general's trophies." Ma Ning snorted coldly.

Chang Biao's eyes rolled: "Yulin Pass General Chang Zhongxing is my uncle, I am willing to help Your Majesty persuade my uncle to surrender, so that he can lead the army to surrender to Dachen!" ”

Ma Ning, who originally wanted to finish him with one shot, frowned when he heard this: "Are you sure about this?" ”

"There are some and some if it doesn't work, I'm willing to screw off my head and kick it for the general." Chang Biao saw that there was a glimmer of opportunity, and he patted his chest and shouted regardless of it.

Ma Ning nodded, although he didn't believe that Uncle Cong, who would be sent by Chang Zhongxing to transport the baggage, would listen to him, but the stakes were high, and it was not his turn to advocate this matter. "Well, Ben will report your request to Your Majesty, you wait for it."

After the four thousand people walked out of the earthen wall of the ditch that had just been dug up in the middle of the night, they squatted on the edge of the river. As for Chang Biao and several of his henchmen and dozens of personal soldiers, they were all temporarily tied up.

A moment later, a puff of smoke and dust rolled up, the ground shook slightly, and a cavalry had galloped towards it.

When Chang Biao really saw Chen Kefu's Panlong Banner, he had completely believed Ma Ning's previous words in his heart. At the moment, there was no other thought, and he had already thought about surrendering to the Chen Dynasty wholeheartedly. Chang Biao was originally just a small wealthy family in Longyou, and for a person like him, what loyalty and righteousness are empty words. Interests are truly constant, no matter who is the emperor and who is the king, all he needs is to hold his thighs.

After Chen Kefu saw the 10,000 stones of grain and grass and hundreds of carts of equipment in the temporary camp, he couldn't help but be happy. This is really an accident to make a small fortune, Chen Jun entered Longshang, and was worried about the difficulty of supplying grain and grass, but he didn't expect to harvest such a big order here all of a sudden.

After seeing Chang Biao brought by Ma Ning, and listening to his words of kneeling forward and promising to let him surrender from his uncle to Da Chen, Chen Kefu also nodded with interest.

After Chen Kedi captured Xue Ju's father and son in a surprise attack on Lingwusheng, and defeated the Qin army of Lingwu and Wuyuan. In the entire Hetao, there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses of Chang Zhongxing in Yulin, and 40,000 troops of Xue Rengao, who were originally stationed in Shuofang.

However, Chen Kefu had already made a plan when he sent the messenger Zhao Pochen. Letting Zhao Pochen, a spy, send a letter, is not just to kill people with a knife. What's more important is to transfer Xue Rengao south, let Xue Rengao leave Shuofang, separate from Chang Zhongxing in Yulin, and then break each one.

Chen Kefu traveled all the way before, leading 10,000 light horsemen to sneak into Shuofang along the secret path, in order to cut off Xue Rengao's back road, cut off the possibility of him and Chang Zhongxing reuniting, and outflank his back road, and launched a fatal blow from behind when he was critical.

Chang Zhongxing's name is still very loud, and he is the most fierce general in Western Qin except for Xue Ju's father and son. If he can be persuaded to lead his army to surrender with the city, it will naturally be a good one. Even if you refuse to surrender, it doesn't matter, just clean up Xue Rengao and then call over. It would be even better if he took the initiative to leave Yulin to fight after hearing the news.

In the field, Chen Jun was brave and fearless.
