The Birth of Tianjiao Chapter 19 Conspiracy Layout
"My clothes are wet with the rain of apricot flowers, and the willow wind is not cold on my face." The spring wind is always so gentle, just like a gentle hand gently stroking the cheek, making people feel a sudden feeling of happiness.
The small road in Zhangbei only allowed five horses to walk abreast, and there was a scene of solemn killing.
Ding Hualong and a group of accompanying cavalrymen saw that the enemy cavalry in front was no longer ten feet tall. They each held their weapons and waited for close combat.
"One row!" A loud shout came from the front. Then, "bang bang bang", a series of dense sounds sounded.
The cavalry on both sides of Ding Hualong fell off their horses one after another. He quickly turned his horse and saw that two groups of soldiers armed with muskets poured out from both sides of the path.
"No, we were ambushed!" Ding Hualong hurriedly took off his horse's long shield and protected it in front of him.
"Second row!", "Bang bang bang" there was another burst of gunfire, and Ding Hualong's light cavalry had killed and wounded more than 200 people in a matter of seconds.
"Retreat!" Ding Hualong shouted with a few sparks splashing on his long shield.
"Third row!", "Bang bang bang bang", and with a burst of gunfire, more than 100 Shen Cheng cavalrymen fell off their horses.
Ding Hualong's eyes were about to burst, and he hurriedly led the remaining light cavalry back the same way. At this time, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab and cut off Ding Hualong's light cavalry.
Immediately sitting upright was a young general wearing a silver helmet, it was Li Tianba.
"Ding Hualong, take your life!" Li Tianba brandished his spear and galloped towards Ding Hualong. Ding Hualong threw away his shield, raised the Fang Tian Hualong in his hand, roared and rushed towards Li Tianba.
"Whoosh!" Ding Hualong stabbed Li Tianba's shoulder and neck with his halberd, and Li Tianba swung his gun. "Dang!" There was a loud sound. Ding Hualong's arms were sore, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the halberd was released. Nan
Ba Qiang followed up with a forward thrust, hitting Ding Hualong in the chest and lifting him up high.
"Kill me!" Li Tianba swung Ding Hualong from his gun and charged at the remaining Shen Cheng cavalry.
Before a cup of tea was served, the light cavalry brought by Ding Hualong had less than a hundred people left and fled in panic.
Li Tianba said to Chi Tianhai: "Uncle Chi, protect the treasure and rush to Datong with 200 cavalry troops. I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Don't worry, young master. I will go to Datong immediately and take the road back to Guangxi." Chi Tianhai clasped his fists in salute and led 200 riders towards Zhangbei.
Li Tianba collected the mounts of Ding Hualong's light cavalry and gathered the 200 soldiers of the firearms battalion. The soldiers of the firearms battalion also mounted their horses one after another. "We will attack the remnants of Ding Hualong tonight!" He looked up to the sky and laughed.
Qiao Wanyun, Dugu Xiaotian and others drove the cart and traveled 3 miles northwest.
"Stop the car! Prepare a rope." Qiao Wanyun shouted. 50 Beggar Clan disciples rushed out from the crowd, took off the ropes from their shoulders, tied up the treasure box, and carried it on their backs.
"Xiaotian, Leader Dugu," you take 100 Beggar Gang masters, carry treasure boxes on your back, enter the pine forest, climb over the mountains and ridges, and wait for me at Ulan County on the Tartar border. Come first to stop the pursuers for my brother.
"Brother, be careful!" Dugu Xiaotian did not dare to delay, and together with Jin Linfeng, the law enforcement elder, and 100 Beggar Clan disciples, they quickly got into the dense pine forest.
Dugu Xiaotian and others disappeared for a moment. The road to the north was filled with dust, and it was obvious that a large group of people were coming to kill them.
"Pour out the kerosene and throw the firewood!" Qiao Wanyun ordered, and the remaining Beggar Clan disciples threw the bundles of pine branches they were carrying onto the cart, took out bottles of kerosene, and threw them on the cart.
"Light the fire and drive the horses!" Qiao Wanyun continued to order.
"Peng!" Thick smoke billowed from dozens of carts. People used weapons to drive the horses. The horses were frightened and ran wildly toward the north road with the burning carts.
Shen Wang Zhu Mo, military advisor Zhang Shimou, and general Ma Sanhu were rushing from the north road with more than 7,000 Shen City troops and horses. The front army was less than two miles away from the Beggar Gang.
Seeing the thick smoke billowing ahead, General Ma Sanhu shouted, "The front troops line up, the shield men come forward, and the archers hold down the formation."
500 shield-bearers from the front army came out of the formation, divided into five rows, stuck their long shields on the ground, and lowered their bodies. Behind them, 1,000 archers bent their bows and strung their arrows.
"Xilulu!" A sound of horses neighed, and more than twenty "trains" were seen quickly approaching.
Seeing this momentum, Ma Sanhu's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted: "Set the arrow, shoot the horse!"
"Swish, swish, swish", arrows rained down in an instant, and they shot at the frightened horse pulling the cart.
The frightened horses running at the front were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but the horses ran wildly with great inertia and still crashed into the shield array.
"Bang"! "Bang!" There were several explosions, and the shield hand could not resist the huge force. More than twenty people were knocked over at once. Then a dozen frightened horses followed, leading the cart from behind. Gaokou rushed in.
The cart shattered and sparks flew everywhere. Some soldiers were splashed with kerosene and fell to the ground. Some soldiers were knocked down by the horses and carts in front. Before they could get up, they were run over by the horses and carts behind them. .
Suddenly, there were screams and wails. Several carriages rushed into the archer formation. The archers hurriedly avoided, and the front army was in chaos.
"Spearmen, stab the horses!" Ma Sanhu shouted. 100 spearmen from the Chinese army rushed out, raised their long spears, and stabbed at the frightened horses one after another.
In a moment, all the twenty-odd frightened horses fell to the ground, leaving only the burning cart blocking the road.
"Quickly put out the fire and move away from the road!" Ma Sanhu commanded the Chinese army and used shovels to extinguish the fire.
After struggling for half an hour, the Chinese army finally extinguished all the flames and moved out of the avenue. The front army suffered more than 300 casualties.
Zhu Mo was furious and said, "Catch up with these thieves and kill them all, leaving no one behind."
Shen Cheng soldiers and horses arrived in front of the pine forest, and Ma Sanhu sent scouts to investigate.
The scout investigated a cup of tea and came back to report: "Report to the general, there are footprints and discarded fire folds and other objects in the southwest. The thief should have just left a stick of incense."
Ma Sanhu got his revenge and did not dare to delay. He quickly came to King Shen and the military advisor, got off his horse and saluted. "Your Majesty, the thief got into the dense forest and headed southwest. He has already walked for a stick of incense."
"What good strategy does the military advisor have?" After hearing the report, Zhu Mo frowned and asked Zhang Shimou.
"The thieves are cunning and have escaped into the dense forest. It is really difficult for our cavalry to pursue them. We should pick up the martial arts experts in the army, travel lightly and simply, and chase them quickly. The thieves carry heavy objects, so they will not be able to move fast. Send infantry troops to follow up." Zhang Shimou said seriously. said the voice.
"What the military advisor said makes sense, Ma Sanhu, you lead 800 of the best soldiers in the army, travel lightly and simply, and quickly catch up with the thieves. After catching up, use fireworks and rockets as a signal."
"Infantry commander Li Yong will lead 3,000 infantry troops and follow the rear to support them." "Follow the order!" A general agreed with clasped fists.
Zhu Mo continued, "If you have any news about the thief, report it to me immediately. I will lead the cavalry and intercept them in a detour! You should set off quickly, don't let the thief get too far!"
Ma Sanhu received the order and did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered the soldiers in the army to discard their helmets and armor, and bring dry food and water bags. With the scouts leading the way, they quickly entered the pine forest.
