Chapter 921: The Great War Begins, All Troops and Horses
Chapter 921: The war begins, soldiers from all walks of life
Following Shen Tang's loud shout, the team that had just entered the valley turned around and killed them.
Inside the mountain col, Wan Zhiyi and Gu Chengyuan, who were worried, came to General Li's side!
"We have already taken action. The general has given the order to kill the 5,000 soldiers and horses in ambush and more than 7,000 Yun'an troops!"
General Li said confidently!
He admitted that Shen Tang's soldiers and horses were powerful, but the entrance of the valley was only less than ten feet, and there was no way to form a formation! Two thousand soldiers and horses blocked the entrance of the valley, and it was easy to entangle them for a quarter of an hour! As long as they were blocked here, they would wait until the other two soldiers Encircled by horses, it doesn't matter even if all these two thousand people die!
"good!"
Finally it was done, Wan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately shouted.
However, at this moment, through this long and narrow valley, a sudden cry of killing came from the other direction!
"These are our soldiers and horses blocking the entrance of the valley. They are ten miles away from here! How can there be any movement from there?"
General Li's expression changed, but before he could send someone to investigate the situation, there were loud and chaotic shouts of death coming from two locations.
Of these two positions, one is below them to the north, where Yun'an's army ambush, and the other is halfway up the mountain opposite, where the five thousand dead soldiers ambush.
"What's happening here!"
Wan Zhiyi and two others also noticed something was wrong and shouted loudly.
However, it is obvious that no one can give them the answer at this moment!
At the other end of the valley, a strong man slashed an enemy with a knife, and then spat out, "Brothers, let me kill them. After we deal with them, let's go meet the Lord!"
After saying that, the strong man looked dissatisfied at the two locations ahead where the shouts of killing were heard, "This time, these two guys took the lead! There are only two thousand people like these bastards in front of them, how come they are?" My opponent, Cheng Yuhu!"
Yes, this strong man is none other than Cheng Yuhu! He was originally at the border of Wushan County. After handling the affairs in Wushan County, he planned to return, but he received an order from Shen Tang to stay where he was.
So, he led his men into hiding.
A few days ago, I received a secret order from Shen Tang and came to this place in Xining Mountain.
Which of his two thousand troops is not an elite who has experienced hundreds of battles?
Although these two thousand opponents were not afraid of death, they were like paper in front of them. They just met each other and two to three hundred people fell down!
Halfway up the mountain to the southwest of Shen Tang, a man with a solemn expression and feathers on his head looked calmly at the battle ground below! He was not giving orders, but the flag bearer behind him kept waving the flag to command the people below. !These men and horses are dressed in furs and look like savages, but they are not only extremely strong but also extremely flexible. This dense forest in the mountains is like their territory. The five thousand soldiers and horses originally ambushed in a mountain col are no match for them. !
"This time our Qiang soldiers and horses are serving the general. We must not be embarrassed! There are only 5,000 people below, and we have a full 9,000 people! Send the order, and we must not let anyone escape!"
This person is Wuhai of the Qiang people!
After a secret meeting with Shen Tang in Orchard, Mianzhou, Shen Tang asked Orchard to send 10,000 troops and horses to stand by at the border of Kuizhou! In order to hide his whereabouts as much as possible, Wuhai transformed the 10,000 troops into dozens of teams and quietly came to the border of Kuizhou! After receiving Shen Tang's secret order, he rushed here as soon as possible.
And in another place, two strong men wearing black armor stood side by side!
"General Wu, the strength of the troops in front of you is not weak!"
One of the men laughed.
Another person sneered, "General Pi, our Changde Army is not a vegetarian! Besides, they only have 7,000 people, and our Changde Army has 23,000 troops. Even if they have wings today, I will not Cut him down and chop him!"
Who else could General Pi be but Pi Sheng?
He went to Lin'an to meet the Holy Spirit, and on his way back he received a message from Dark Night Pavilion.
Then, not long after, Dark Night Pavilion not only brought him Zhang Jun's secret letter, but also Zhang Jun's secret order to mobilize troops to Changde Mansion!
At that time, Shen Tang went to the Kingdom of Jin and 'robbed' a thousand fine horses that had not been castrated from Gao Cunfu! And this batch of fine horses was secretly placed in Shaoshan in Tanzhou by Zhang Jun.
The reason for this is not only that the magistrate of Tanzhou is a close confidant of Zhang Jun, but also because the Changde Army in the north of Tanzhou is also a direct descendant of Zhang Jun!
Its chief general Wu Xiangyu, like Shao Hongyuan and Li Xianzhong, has been following Zhang Jun for many years!
Although the power of the previous layout was already considerable, in order to completely frighten some people, Shen Tang decided to mobilize the Changde army through Zhang Jun, and then swept away this siege with the power of Mount Tai, and let the people behind him Some people are timid.
This time, the person behind the scenes was too hidden. Shen Tang only vaguely found out that it was related to the two eunuchs and Yun Anjun. However, Shen Tang was still puzzled as to why they would do something to him! Shen Tang guessed that someone would do something. , but they are definitely not these people.
After all, neither the two salt supervisors nor Yun Anjun have any interests involved with him.
The first to resolve the battle was at the mouth of the valley where Shen Tang was located! The opponent only had two thousand people, and these people were all thugs, dead soldiers and loyal servants of Wan Zhiyi and Gu Chengyuan!
They are naturally good at dealing with the common people or salt workers, and they are not inferior even when facing ordinary officers and soldiers. But, who are Chang Shun and the others?
After surviving three wars in Tongbai Mountain, Sizhou, and Chengdu Prefecture, which one is not the best among the best?
What's more, with cavalry on one side and infantry on the other, the two sides are not on the same level at all.
With just one charge, the opponent's two thousand men collapsed.
What followed was a massacre of Chang Shun and others! Not long after, most of the opponents fell. The remaining ones were no match and could not wait for reinforcements to arrive, so they even collapsed and fled!
Shen Tang stopped, and Chang Shun sneered and waved his hand to let some people chase him! Since these people dare to take action, they will be punished by death! Neither Shen Tang nor he will be merciful at this time!
Cheng Yuhu's place was also progressing very smoothly. Although it was two thousand versus two thousand, the combat power of the two sides was obviously very different! The battle was simply one-sided! In the end, Cheng Yuhu's men were chasing the enemy all over the mountains and plains!
"Forget it, no need to chase! There are still a thousand Qiang cavalry on the periphery, we must give them some opportunities!"
"Form up the team immediately and let's go see that old guy Wu Hai's joke!"
With that said, Cheng Yuhu laughed and stepped into the valley.
The battle at Wuhai was the easiest. After two bursts of arrows, no one on the other side was even noticed and they immediately collapsed and fled.
Then, Wu Hai directly dispersed these five thousand people. In this dense forest of the valley, how could these people be the opponents of the Qiang tribe?
Not to mention the cold arrows everywhere, even while running he was beheaded by an enemy who came out from nowhere!
