Chapter 429 Strategic Weapons
******
Suddenly Duoduo found himself like a fly in a glass bottle, with a bright future, but when he was about to spread his wings and fly out, he hit a wall at every turn.
Liu Meng had no intention of rescuing Chuzhou at all, and after setting up camps on the south bank of the Chuhe River, he sent soldiers and horses to patrol the Chuhe River day and night.
The three thousand cavalry were divided into hundreds of people, scattered in the villages near the river bank, and took turns patrolling the river.
In fact, between the Lai'an River and the Xiang River, the width is only twenty or thirty miles, Liu Meng's 50,000 troops are divided into this section of the river, and there are 10,000 troops stationed in an average of five or six miles.
It may be possible for the Qing army to smuggle a small group of men and horses through at night, but after crossing the river with 100 men and horses, not only will it not play much role, but they will often immediately face a 10-fold siege by the Qin army. It's basically meat buns beating dogs, and there is no return.
If you want to cross thousands of men and horses at once, under such a tight defense of the Qin army, there is absolutely no such possibility, Duoduo tried his best, using the cover of night, tried several times, and was quickly discovered by the Qin army;
The cruel reality, anxious Duoduo's temper became more and more irritable, and his generals were a little unsatisfactory, so they would inevitably be scolded by him, so that Zu Dale, Sun Degong and others almost did not dare to go to his big tent.
At this time, there was another news of the city of Chuzhou, Qin Mu and Che Bai eyebrows.
In front of tens of thousands of Qing troops under the city, Qin Mu praised Chebai for his loyalty and bravery, and promised that as long as Chebai was willing to turn his war into a jade silk, he would immediately give grain and grass to send Chebai back to the north.
Duoduo was not very stupid, and he could see that Qin Mu wanted to use this move to separate him from Chebai.
The wonderful thing is that Qin Mu also knew that this plan could not separate Duoduo and Chebai, and he just did this to provide Duoduo with an excuse to clean up Chebai.
Duoduo and Che Bai are originally discordant between face and heart, do you still need to be separated?
When the pressure on Duoduo was mounting. I can't help but want to find someone to vent my anger, or I want to find someone to take on the responsibility of the unfavorable situation of the war.
Qin Mu is not only good at understanding people's clothes, but also understanding people, and sent Duoduo a perfect reason in time.
Duoduo was in a very irritable mood, coupled with the ineffective offensive of Chebai in Chuzhou, Qin Mu was homesick, and the Red Lady was attacked by fire, which made Chebai demoralized, and Duoduo was very dissatisfied with this, and had this reason that Qin Mu sent in time. He was about to be dismissed from his post at once.
Ning Wan hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Wang, now that the war is unfavorable, if you ask the general again, I am afraid that the morale of our army will be even lower, Lord Wang." I can't help it. ”
Under Ning Wan's persuasion, Duoduo barely suppressed his anger. But he was dismissed from the post of chelator. Instead, let him make meritorious contributions.
"How many days can our army's food and grass last?" Dodor asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the prince, this radius of dozens of miles has been searched, and the income is limited, and at present, the food and grass of our army is only enough to support three days."
"Master Ning, you say, what should we do now?"
"Lord Wang. Since Liu Meng has no intention of crossing the river to the north, it will be useless for us to stay here, so it is better to return to the division immediately and attack Chuzhou with all our might. Once Chuzhou is captured, it can also allow the Qin armies from all walks of life to collapse without attacking. ”
"That's all there is to it." Duoduo thought for a moment and said, "The king ordered that Xihan must defeat Ning Yuan and seize the enemy's grain and grass before tomorrow, if he has not made progress tomorrow, he will blame the king's military law." ”
Although it was difficult for both the southern and western fronts to cross the river to defeat the enemy, which made Duoduo very irritable, with Sihan on the east bank of the Lai'an River, and the road to rest worry, Duoduo did not feel that he was already under siege.
Indeed, as long as the 10,000 troops who came to Sihan on the east bank of Andong were large, Duoduo did not have to worry about not being able to cross the Lai'an River.
It's just that Ning Wan always has an ominous premonition, he vaguely feels that this is a huge trap, and he has fallen into the trap without knowing it.
Out of prudence, he proposed: "Lord Wang, it's better for us to move east, first go all out to capture Anxian County, and wait for the army to have no worries about food and grass, and then"
"What? Are you Liu Meng, and these 50,000 troops are all vegetarians? Let's attack Lai'an, will Liu Meng still dryly guard the bank of the Chuhe River and not relieve the siege of Chuzhou?
There is also Li Jiu in the west, there are 10,000 foot riders combined, here is only a few dozen miles away from Chuzhou, Liu Meng and Li Jiuyi but cross the river, more than one day, less than half a day can be killed under the city of Chuzhou. Once Qin Mu breaks through and returns to Jinling, do we still have a chance? ”
"This"
"Bachelor Ning doesn't need to say more, come on, pass on the king's military order, and the army will immediately set up camp and return to Chuzhou."
"Wow!"
In Lai'an, Xihan, who had high hopes for Duoduo, began to set off, the distance between Liuhe County and Lai'an County was only sixty or seventy miles, and Ningyuan's 15,000 men and horses walked for half a day, and it was only thirty or forty miles away from Lai'an.
Thirty or forty miles away, Xihan's cavalry could be killed in an hour at most, and Ning Yuan had absolutely no chance of returning to Liuhe.
Xihan left Li Guohan with 3,000 men and horses, and continued to besiege Lai'an, and he took nearly 7,000 iron horsemen and galloped away to the southeast like a gust of wind.
However, as soon as Xihan left, the north of Lai'an County suddenly opened, and a large banner with a Su character rushed out of the north gate in the face of the whistling north wind.
Li Guohan was overjoyed, to be honest, even he, a man of the Han army banner, did not take the cavalry of the Qin army in his eyes, even if Su Jin's 6,000 cavalry was not damaged, one to two, with the fierce cavalry and archery kung fu of the Qing Iron Cavalry, Li Guohan also had full confidence to defeat Su Jin.
Therefore, not only did he not prevent Su Jin from going out, but also retreated to the northeast corner with three thousand Qing troops, leaving space for Su Jin to go out of the city.
Under the guidance of the Suzi banner, the six thousand Xuanjia Qin troops rushed out of the north gate on horseback, and the sound of Xiao Sa was heard at first, and then it was like a mountain torrent that broke the embankment, galloping and surging; The gold and iron are all ringing;
The 6,000 Xuanjia cavalry recuperated for a few days, and after leaving the city, they were like a group of fierce tigers devouring people, killing Li Guohan's army without stopping.
The war drums at the head of the city also rumbled, cheering for the cavalry brothers, the heavy drums were like thunder, and the sound spread for dozens of miles, shaking people's blood and blood surged, and a solemn atmosphere suddenly enveloped the four fields.
"Rush! Let the Qin army see what a real cavalry is! Li Guohan pulled out his saber, pointed at the six thousand Qin troops who rushed wildly, and clamped his waist hard, people like tigers, horses like dragons, and rushed out;
Behind him, the three thousand Qing troops had a ruthless smile on their faces, and they rushed out together, and the formation became tighter and tighter, like an indestructible iron fist, its acceleration was fast, and there was an arrow from the string, although the number was less than half of the Qin army, but the momentum of the common people seemed to be able to destroy the mountains and mountains, and it was majestic.
Under the bombardment of tens of thousands of iron hooves, the earth is constantly trembling, the two sides are like two black black winds blown by the wind, flying against the ground, rushing closer and closer, the defenders at the head of the city are thrilled, according to the astonishing speed of the two sides, once they collide together, it must be a shock, extremely tragic.
When the two armies entered a distance of one mile, Su Jin pointed at the sword, and forty or fifty horsemen immediately rushed out on both sides of the Qin army's large array, just like the two wings that suddenly grew out of the large array.
Li Guohan couldn't help but laugh wildly when he saw it, Qin Jun rushed out dozens of horses, could it be that any of these people wanted to include me, the Great Qing Iron Horse? The southerners' riding skills are really haha!
However, Li Guohan soon couldn't laugh anymore, and dozens of horses rushed out diagonally from both sides of the Qin army to quickly restrain the horses, and then took a four- or five-foot-long rocket slip from the victory hook on the side of the saddle, carried it on his shoulder, and lit the fuse with great skill.
At this time, the Qing army rushed into a distance of three hundred paces, and the fuse burned out, chirp! Tweeted! In the heart-pounding chirping, one after another cannonballs with long tail flames roared towards the Qing army.
At this time, the Qing army was picking up their bows in their hands, preparing to give the Qin army a round of arrow rain as soon as they entered the range of bows and arrows, but this time, they tasted the cannon rain first.
A whole hundred rockets filled with yellow explosives rained down on the dense cavalry formation of the Qing army. Boom Boom! Clusters of flames rose into the sky, and an explosion seemed to have the power to destroy the world;
Countless shrapnel strafed horizontally, and the Qing army was blown down in an instant as if they had rushed into hell;
The shock wave caused by the explosion tore apart the horses one by one, sending flesh and blood flying, while others were swept up two feet by the shock wave, smashing to the ground and breaking bones.
Li Guohan himself, along with his flag, was blown into several pieces, his head returned to his head, his feet returned to his feet, and not even a single corpse fell.
In the Qing army's array, people howled and neighed, and those war horses that were not injured by the explosion were also frightened by such a violent explosion, and some of them stood up with a neighing voice, and lifted the panicked tartars on the horseback off the horse, and the war horses no longer listened to the control of the master, rampaged, and rushed like crazy, and the cavalry behind could not retract the momentum, rushed wildly, collided with each other, and the people who fell from the horse did not know how many.
"Kill!" Su Jin waved his sword and pointed forward, and swept away like a wave with six thousand Xuanjia iron horses.
Three hundred paces away, in an instant
