Chapter 812: Shocking Liaoyang 8
Jimu looked at the surrounding environment, with high cliffs on one side and hills on the other side. There was a winding official road in the middle, which was the only way to go north to Lianshan Pass. He nodded gently and said, "I chose this place well. After the Qing army entered the pocket, they would use huge rocks to roll wood to block the two exits. At that time, the Qing army would not be able to escape even if they had wings."
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Ji Guerrilla Miozan. On the high cliff, three hundred archers can be arranged, and the remaining soldiers are all deployed on the side of the hill. When the two exits are completely blocked, rushing up to the hill is their only way to live. Although our army has a good geographical location, trapped beasts are still fighting. In order to avoid excessive losses, we can prepare more rolling wood on the hills, try to prevent them from reaching the top, and strive to keep all the Qing troops entering here."
Jimu nodded and ordered to the side: "Go! Everything is done as the High Administrator said."
When the personal soldiers sent the order, the surroundings suddenly became busy. Some moved stones, some cut wood, and some sorted out weeds. The whole scene seemed chaotic and not panic.
Jimu took out a piece of mutton wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it to Gao Qi and said, "Godian General, thank you for your hard work."
Gao Qi was overjoyed, took the mutton from Jimu, took a bite and asked, "Is there any wine?"
Jimu shook his head and said, "The rules set by the military gate are not allowed to drink alcohol during wartime. Most of the wine jars at Lianshanguan were crushed by me. There are some medical officers, but those are used to clean the wounds for the wounds."
Gao Qi shook his head and sighed, "That's a pity. By the way, how did Ji guerrilla deal with those prisoners?"
Jimu replied: "All Manchus were killed. The forty-two Han people who took the initiative to kill Manchus were brought into the army by me. The remaining Han prisoners were ordered to cut off their right arm and were sent away."
Gao Qiqi said: "Didn't kill them?"
Jimu nodded and said, "What I thought at first was that I killed them all. But then I thought that our army came here to stir up the heartland of the Qing army and encouraged the Han people here. If everyone was killed, the Qing army could blame others for the losses of the soldiers, instead of our army breaking into the heartland of the Qing army, the impact on the Qing army would be much smaller. If the right arm was cut off, these Qing army prisoners could not be sold for the soldiers. They would be able to promote our army's achievements on our behalf. Even if the Qing army wanted to cover up this matter, it would be impossible. This was the effect he wanted to achieve."
Gao Qi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Ji Guerrilla did the right thing, that's true."
At this time, a whistle cavalry came from a distance, knelt down on one knee and said, "Reporting to the guerrillas, thousands of cavalry of the Qing army were rushing towards us, about ten miles away."
Jimu nodded, "Tap again!" Then he turned to the left and right, and ordered loudly: "Start up, everything must be complete before the Qing army arrives."
He Tora stopped his horse and turned to a young man riding on his side and said, "Boqiha, listen again."
The young man named Boqiha responded, turned over and dismounted, and pressed his ear against the ground. After a while, he straightened up and shook his head gently to Hetu.
He Tuo frowned and pondered, and after a while, he said, "Boqiha, did you hear it wrong at that time?"
Boqiha shook his head and said, "Master, I will definitely not. The slave did hear the sound of the horse galloping, and at least above the thousand riders, the direction was Lianshan Pass."
He Tuo said, "That's strange. Why is there no sound now?"
A personal guard next to him said, "Master, could it be the new reinforcements from Liaoyang? Because he entered Lianshan Pass, there was no sound."
He Tuo nodded and said, "This is possible. Let's do it! Boqiha, take a few people to Lianshan Pass first and find the traces of those cavalry. If you find anything, report it to me immediately."
Boqiha made a "chatter" sound and headed north with a few whistle riders. They ran all the way and quickly got out of the distance from the Qing army. Until a dangerous place, Boqiha suddenly stopped his horse, stopped a few people, and then pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
He whistled his whistle and looked up at both sides, but there was no movement. He slapped forward and asked softly, "Boqiha, what's wrong?"
Boziha frowned and said, "Not right here?"
The whistle rider said, "What's wrong?"
Boziha said, "It's so quiet that there is not even a bird's cry. And you see, there are only one high and one low on both sides, and there are only one road in the middle, which is an excellent place to set up an ambush. No, no, evacuate here immediately, let's go around to the high place to take a look." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and turned back out.
But before Boqiha could turn completely, a feather arrow came from the sky and hit his chest. Boqiha screamed and fell off his horse. Then, the feather arrows followed one by one, shooting down the Qing army. Boqiha opened his eyes with difficulty, and several blurred figures fell into his eyes.
With a loud "bang", a giant tree fell from the sky and was blocking the Qing army's retreat. Then, huge rocks and rolling trees fell one after another. Several Qing troops in the rear team were not prepared and instantly smashed into meat pie. At the same time, countless soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides, holding bows and arrows in their hands and shooting. In an instant, dozens of Qing army were caught in the horse.
He Tuo was shocked and looked up and saw that there were many enemy troops. Moreover, here, the high cliff on the right and the hill on the left were not conducive to the development of the cavalry. This was a dead place, and these people were here to ambush themselves. The habit he had developed on the battlefield for a long time made him react quickly. He raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Don't be in chaos, the whole army moves forward and rushes out of the canyon as soon as possible." After that, he waved his whip and accelerates forward.
Rocks fell, rolling trees continued to fall, and the Qing army was hit and fell under the horse. The archers on both sides also kept drawing bows, and the Qing army had to lower their bodies. But even so, many people were still caught in arrows, screaming filled the entire valley.
He Tuo was running in the front, and was about to rush out of the valley, but a giant tree suddenly fell from the cliff. He Tuo reacted very quickly and jumped down from his horse, but his mount was hit, turning into a ball of meat paste, and the road ahead was broken. He Tuo beat the ground angrily, stood up from the ground, pulled out a long knife from his waist, and shouted loudly: "The road ahead is blocked, everyone dismounts, and kills these little thieves with me."
The Qing army around him roared, dismounted, drew his sword and held it up together.
Gao Qi nodded in appreciation, "Don't be chaotic when facing danger, and be sure to command. This Qing army general has some skills."
