Chapter 166: Guide to Huashan
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. After listening to Wu Guofu's words, Tie Mo couldn't help but wonder. Every attack went smoothly, why did the opponent's reinforcements come to the critical moment? Once it was a coincidence, and twice was not a simple coincidence.
"General Wu, how long has it been since you attacked the city and arrived in Luonan by enemy reinforcements?"
Tie Mo asked, Wu Guofu thought about it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "It should be about half an hour. On the second time, I will estimate it and it will definitely not be wrong."
"Half an hour?" Tie Mo frowned and said thoughtfully: "This seems a little bit wrong. It takes at least an hour and a half to get from Shangzhou to Luonan. Wang Daliang has few cavalry under his command. How could it be so fast?"
After thinking carefully, Tiemo said anxiously: "General Wu, is Wang Daliang ambushing near Luonan City?"
Wu Guofu simply shook his head, "This is impossible. Wu once sent someone to check around, but he didn't find any signs. Therefore, there should be no ambush near Luonan City, otherwise it would be impossible that there would be no abnormalities."
"Is that?" Tie Mo pinched his chin and kept paced, gradually making Wu Guofu and Liu Yingyu a little dizzy. However, Wang Zuogao looked very calm, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him. "Mr. Wang, do you have any ideas? If you have any ideas, it's okay to just say it."
Tie Mo nodded, indicating that Wang Zuogao didn't have any taboos. Wang Zuogao nodded and said calmly: "The rebels can support Shangluo within half an hour. Obviously, there must be ambushes near Shangluo. As for where the ambush is, I think it should be here."
Wang Zuogui took a photo on the map. After seeing the name of the place, Tie Mo's eyes trembled and he sighed in his heart. Why did he forget this place?
Huashan is located in the north of Luonan, dozens of miles apart. If you can get a soldier here and rush to the south to support Luonan, you will arrive in less than half an hour. Afterwards, this soldier hid along the foothills on the west side and hid in Mount Hua without knowing it. Moreover, with such an ambush, you can send troops to attack Tongguan at any time as long as you have the opportunity, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Huashan is very big, and it is easy to hide three thousand soldiers and horses.
At this time, Liu Yingyu and Wu Guofu also understood what Wang Zuoguai meant. After thinking about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel cold on their backs. Fortunately, the loss was not big when they attacked Luonan. If the loss was too heavy, the ambush would block the road and block the road back to Tongguan. The final result can be imagined. Wu Guofu took a breath and touched his gray beard, "Will there be any mistakes? How did the thief use to ambush such a soldier under Tongguan's nose?"
Tie Mo shook his head with a wry smile, "Maybe there is a mistake, but the possibility is still very high. We just need to send out capable people to inquire in secret and find out if there are any ambushers in Huashan."
Soon, Tiemo called the goblin sand sculpture in and gave me some instructions. Shadish sculpture led more than a dozen people out of Tongguan and into the steep Huashan.
Huashan belongs to the Qinling Mountains, with steep walls and sparsely populated areas. In the second year of Chongzhen, wars continued to stop in Shangluo Road, and Huashan became a Jedi, and no one was willing to go.
Sha Diao took the man into Mount Hua, and there was no news. It was not until the third day that Sha Diao brought the man back, and at the same time brought back an amazing news.
On the western foot of Mount Hua, there is a valley next to the steep mountain wall, where a soldier of more than 2,000 people is ambushed. This valley is very hidden, and even the mountain people living on Mount Hua don’t know much. If the Shasha hadn’t found a broken Pu Dao, there wouldn’t have been a valley there.
Since the location of the ambush has been determined, the next step is how to attack Luonan.
Shangzhou, Luonan, Shanyang, and three cities are integrated, and breaking one city can break the overall situation.
.........
On May 11, the second year of Chongzhen, Tiemo took Zhou Dingshan as his vanguard and joined forces with Liu Yingyu to fight toward Luonan City in a mighty manner.
This time, Tie Mo and others were determined to win against Luonan City, so as soon as they came up, Zhou Dingshan set off and under the cover of musketeers, the infantry launched the first round of fierce attacks on Luonan City.
Wei Zixiang and Wu Guofu's soldiers from Sichuan were fighting for a long time and had a fixed mindset. However, this time he was facing the fierce Xuanfu soldiers, especially the powerful firearms, which made him a little unexpected.
Less than half an hour after siege, Wei Zixiang felt a great pressure. Now he could only hope that reinforcements would come quickly. As long as the musketeers under the city were dispersed, the rest would be easier.
In the large valley at the western foot of Mount Hua, a army of more than 2,000 soldiers were ready to go out of the mountain pass. However, not long after the peasant army left Huashan, they were ambushed. A cavalry suddenly broke out from the northwest. In a blink of an eye, they cut the formation into pieces. The formation was scattered, and once the casualties increased, the peasant army changed from passive to fleeing.
Many people, under the threat of death, almost instinctively ran towards Luonan City. They chased and entangled. At this time, the officers and soldiers fought with the peasant army, and the scene was very chaotic.
The defeated soldiers went south all the way, and they only had to escape, but did not find any strange faces around them. The strangest thing was that the terrible cavalry that had dispersed the formation at the beginning actually gave up the pursuit and disappeared into sight little by little.
If someone calms down and thinks about it carefully, they will think that something is wrong. Unfortunately, at this time, everyone has only the idea of ​​escaping. Who can care about these things?
In less than half an hour, the defeated soldiers who escaped from Huashan came to Luonan City, and the officers and soldiers who were siegeing the city also retreated like a tide. At least from the surface, the officers and soldiers seemed to be afraid of being attacked, and the musketeers suffered too much loss, so they chose to retreat. At least, in Wei Zixiang's opinion, this is the case.
As soon as the gate of Luonan City opened, the defeated soldiers rushed into the city, causing chaos at the entrance.
Wei Zixiang pulled out his knife to hold the battlement, and cursed in anger, "Slow down, why are you panic? Qi Laosan, let him come to see me, why did he lead the soldiers? Why are he so in chaos..."
After a long time, someone in the crowd under the city shouted in a hoarse voice: "Wuwu...Master Wei, stop shouting...Master Qi San was killed by the officers and soldiers. Soon after, a group of officers and soldiers attacked us, and Master Qi San was also shot to death..."
"What?" Wei Zixiang was shocked, shook his body, and ran down the city, shouting at the top of his throat, "Hurry, block the people behind, quickly close the city gate..."
"Master Wei, some of our people have not entered the city!"
"Don't talk nonsense, close the city gate quickly. I want you stupid pigs to kill you..."
Wei Zixiang's reaction was very slow. As long as the city gate was closed again, he could slowly screen it. By then, even if the spies who were involved in the officers and soldiers would not cause any big storms.
Wei Zixiang reacted quickly enough, but Liu Guoneng, who was hiding in the crowd, was not stupid either. After finally getting in, how could he let the other party close the city gate again?
The torn hat on his head fell to the ground, and Liu Guoneng yelled with a knife, "Brothers, do it!"
