Chapter 33

Chapter 033 The golden cicada escapes from its shell

Jialuchuan.

Commander Gundam of Xiazhou inspected the camp that had just been set up. His face was very ugly, and could almost be described as ashen and dusty.

His army was inexplicably transferred away from the city of Yinzhou, and rushed to Jialuchuan on a starry night. Only when he got there did he understand why Mr. Li transferred his men to Jialuchuan as if on fire. Because: Xiazhou had fallen.

.

Xiazhou is the foundation of Li Guangrui. For many years, it has been the residence of the co-leaders of the eight Dangxiang clans. Its significance is similar to that of the royal cities of the Central Plains countries. However, once Xiazhou is lost, Xiazhou's large territories in the east, west, and south will be destroyed.

The state, Yancang, Yanzhou, the iron smelting and subway smelting all fell into Yang Hao's hands, food, money, weapons..., and... his family.

The concubine I took in last month is Aguli, a 16-year-old Lingzhou woman. She is a hybrid of Qiang and cannibal. She is beautiful, charming, and her flowers are so tender that they ooze water when pinched. I don’t know which one is cheaper.

Bastard. The most important thing is that his parents, brothers, children, are all in Xiazhou!

The high commander was scratching his head thinking about his hometown in Xiazhou. The soldiers under his command were gloomily and nervously preparing their camp defenses. The news of Xiazhou's fall had spread like a plague, spreading from the commander's camp to everywhere.

Before dinner, all the soldiers knew the news of the earth-shattering. Their homes were in Xiazhou, where they had all their livestock, and now they were in a state of panic, and they were so miserable that they were about to cry without tears.

This means that they have no home to return to, it means that they will lose their foundation and supplies, and become homeless dogs. How can they not be worried?

In their eyes, everything has lost its color, even the smoke rising feebly upwards.

There was no wind, and the group of knights suddenly appeared silently, like ghosts.

When the camp's lookout post blew the horn, the cavalry group had already rushed towards their camp with all their strength.

The iron cavalry moves vertically and horizontally, like the movement of waves. The spears and halberds are held high, like the movement of wolves.

That was the Zhe family army, carrying an extremely fierce and powerful murderous aura, like a violent surge from the sky, the trembling sound of hoof thunder surged, the earth trembled, the camp was kicked and the formation was broken, and there was a thunderous thunder.

Their military strength may not be inferior to that of the Zhejia Army, and their military strength is not inferior to that of the Zhejia Army. However, when the Zhejia Army suddenly appeared in front of them, they felt sincere fear and irresistible power. There was already a feeling in their hearts.

How can a defeated army unite and fight to the death?

The Zhejia Army is one of the strongest armies in the northwest, but no matter how strong and skilled it is, in front of the Li Jiajun, it has always only been able to defend its forts. Unless it gathers a force several times that of the enemy, it never dares to confront the Li Jiajun.

, but now, they barged in arrogantly and rushed directly to their camp.

"Dong dong dong dong..." The sound of war drums urging the attack sounded, but when the soldiers heard the drums, they no longer felt excited and excited. They only felt restless and restless. Facing the countless enemies rushing towards them like a mountain torrent,

They subconsciously jumped on their horses, but did not launch a selfless countercharge. Instead, they instinctively gathered together or turned their horses to retreat to the rear.

Sharp sabers, stabbing spears, shrill screams, angry roars... Sounds and shadows, stillness and movement, constitute an indescribable war scene, magnificent, strange, beautiful...

The two sides clashed with each other and blood spattered. The Zhejia army launched a perfect charge formation a mile away. When they rushed to the Gundam barracks, their horsepower and manpower were in perfect coordination. They rushed forward quickly.

They formed groups of three to five, responding to each other, attacking and blocking, slashing and slashing, opening a gap and rushing forward. The enemies that were greeted in panic were greeted by their comrades who rushed from behind. When the forward's impact came from the entire

The Gundam Barracks passed through, and when they reached the other end of the camp, the entire Gundam Barracks had been plowed into a field-like formation. The cutting was complete. It was difficult to form a battle formation, and it was difficult for the soldiers to communicate with each other. What was left was one-sided.

scene of massacre.

With this assault, the overall situation has been decided.

The already alert soldiers decisively dropped their weapons, raised their hands high, and knelt straight on the ground. The war horses and halberds flew past them. They could only kneel there stiffly, not daring to move for fear of fear.

The knight on horseback misunderstood him, so he stabbed him with a sword. In the face of such a rapid speed, even if the knight on horseback used a curled saber, it was enough for them to cut him in half with a shoulder-to-shoulder pull.

Jialuchuan changed hands. The two rivals, who were originally equally powerful, came prepared and killed them by surprise. In addition, one side had high morale and the other side was panic-stricken. They killed each other at an incredible speed with incredibly small casualties.

A great victory was accomplished.

After the bloody battle, the officers and soldiers of the Zhejia Army detained the prisoners together. They did not need wounded soldiers. They killed the seriously injured ones with a knife and regarded them as doing a good deed. The less injured ones jumped up and down with the large number of prisoners.

I'm afraid that they may do some good things to themselves too.

The camp that had just been set up by Gundam's troops and the rice that had just been cooked became the dinner prepared for the Zhejia army. Zhe Yuxun ordered people to clean the battlefield and strengthen the camp defense. A centipede insect can die but not freeze.

, today he can take down Gundam's camp in one fell swoop with lightning speed, and tomorrow Li Guangrui's army can also retaliate and take down his camp in one fell swoop.

This is a flat valley, and it is necessary to use as many artificial fortifications as possible to establish the absolute advantage of the defending side. The soldiers are quick, and he seizes the opportunity. The purpose is to make preparations as early as possible, so that he can be on the battlefield in the future.

It may reduce a large number of casualties, how dare Zhe Yuxun just take it lightly.

Zhe Yuxun ordered Chi Zhong to personally take charge of the construction of the fortifications. Without even drinking a sip of water, he immediately interrogated the surviving high-ranking generals among the prisoners. The results of the interrogation were as expected. Li Guangrui knew that Xiazhou had fallen, and he quickly withdrew his troops.

First, let two armies occupy Jialuchuan and Zhuolunchuan, with the purpose of reaching Suizhou before the army's morale becomes uncontrollable.

After learning the details, Zhe Yuxun was overjoyed and rushed to the outpost in person. He saw that Chizhong had used the commanding heights near the camp and the main access roads to set up numerous obstacles. There were as many as nine defenses being excavated.

After passing the sentry posts at all levels, the scouts and scouts were even more than twenty miles away. Only then did they return to the camp with confidence, and were ordered to immediately report the situation here to Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was attacking Zhuolunchuan, which was further away than Jialuchuan. By the time he arrived near Zhuolunchuan, the sky had completely darkened.

Although Li Yide is in good health, Qu Shuo is in good health, which is rare among old people of the same age. He was a little overwhelmed by such a rapid gallop. When he heard the news from the outpost that the Zhuolunchuan defenders had set up camp, Li Yide raised his head and looked at Yin.

The sky was dark, and he said: "Commander, fighting at night is too dangerous. Rushing and swooping make it difficult to issue orders. In the opinion of my humble duty, it is better to wait until dawn tomorrow before taking action."

Yang Hao galloped all the way, his energy and blood surged. Not only did he not feel tired, but he was full of energy and blood. He wished he could go into battle to kill the enemy in person. Hearing this, he shook his head and objected: "The enemy camp has been set up, and the defenses can interact with each other."

In response and cooperation, the enemy's commander is in charge of the central army and can easily mobilize the three armies. In comparison, we are the attacker and the party that moves quickly. Even under the clear sky and in broad daylight, we are far inferior to our opponents in terms of unified command and dispatch from the center.

Instead of doing this, we might as well drag our opponents into the melee and disrupt everyone together. Now that Li Guangrui is withdrawing his troops, the sooner we occupy Zhuolunchuan, the sooner we can deploy tighter defenses. The military situation is so strong that there can be no delay.

Send the order, don't take off your armor, don't take off the saddle of your horse, rest on the spot, eat some food, two hours later, the sky turns black, and the whole army attacks!"

Li Yide frowned slightly, but it was inconvenient to raise objections, so he had to hand his way and say yes.

An hour later, the sky became completely dark, and the southeast wind blew. An hour and a half later, the wind became stronger and stronger. This was originally a plain in the valley, and the wind blew into the valley from the mountain pass, which had a bonus effect, and

The sandy ground on the plain was blown by strong winds, causing flying sand and rocks. Sitting in the tent, I could only hear the constant rustling of the tent, and it seemed like it was raining heavily. This was all caused by the flying sand hitting the tent.

When Yang Hao led his troops, he did not act like a commander, and fully achieved the following: "The general will not say he is thirsty until the well is drained; the general will not say he is hungry before the food is cooked; the general will not say he is cold before the weapons are burned; the general will not say cold until the army curtain is laid."

"I'm tired of saying, I don't fan my fans in the summer, I don't open my roof when it rains, I'm like everyone else!" The general said. At this time, he was still patrolling the entire army, and saw that all the soldiers were looking for more secluded places to sit and lie down, and covered themselves with felt towels and blankets.

It is very hard to cover your mouth and nose and pull your horse to stand against the wind to avoid the wind.

Li Yide covered his mouth and nose with a towel and followed Yang Hao. Seeing this situation, he said again: "Commander, the wind is blowing from the southeast today. Fighting against the wind is not good for me. Besides, it is night and we will fight all the way.

If we can't do it, if we can't be together, we will have to fight alone and fight a bad war. This is too risky. In the humble opinion of our position, for the sake of safety, we should wait until the wind stops and the sun rises tomorrow to fight again. Our army's strength and equipment are better than those of the enemy.

The defenders of Lunchuan should be able to seize the land and occupy it."

What Li Yide said was true. Although Yang Hao was eager to fight, he couldn't help but hesitate after hearing the words. He squinted his eyes and stood facing the wind, letting the wind and sand hit his face. He was silent for a long time. Yang Hao suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "No.

, we will still go out to fight as scheduled!"

This deep shout went with the wind and floated far away. Many soldiers who were taking shelter from the wind heard it, and they all covered their faces with their hands and looked here.

Li Yide said sincerely: "Commander, haste makes waste. If you are not careful, your guaranteed victory may turn into defeat."

Yang Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Li, I am indeed very eager, but this decision is not my own. There are three reasons for my decision."

He extended a finger and said: "First, as I have just told Mr. Li, once our army starts charging, it can only attack according to the established strategy. On the battlefield, it is no longer possible to command and dispatch.

The enemy can attack at night and weaken this advantage of the enemy. Now the strong wind and sand have not weakened the advantage of the enemy, but have completely dragged the enemy into the same situation as ours and made them fall into their own situation.

This is one of the situations for war.

Second, marching against the wind seems ridiculous to you. Do the defenders of Zhuolunchuan think that is possible? The key to a surprise attack on the camp is surprise. Is there anything more surprising than this big sandstorm?

The wind blows towards me, and our troops can hear the enemy camp's training messages from a distance. However, if our troops sneak in quietly, they rarely hear any news. Isn't this a great advantage to us?

Thirdly, although our soldiers have received military training and command and control for some time, they are absolutely incomparable to Li Guangrui's army. We soldiers are originally suitable for fighting chaotic battles and winning in chaos. Since tonight's situation is suitable for me,

Director, why don’t you make good use of it? This big sandstorm is not a difficulty, on the contrary, it’s God helping me!”

Yang Hao's words were sonorous and powerful, and his voice carried far and wide with the wind. The soldiers in the front were all excited when they heard it. They clenched their fists and shouted in response to the commander-in-chief. Seeing this, Li Yide shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "After all, the humble ones are old and not as good as the commander-in-chief."

The spirit and military spirit are so available, just listen to the commander-in-chief and we will attack on time!"

That night, Yang Hao's troops were divided into three groups. He personally led one group to attack, while the other two groups made a roundabout way to outflank the enemy camp. They marched into the wind and sand with their men holding straws and their horses holding rings. It was rare that the Li family's defenders still posted ambushes in front. Unfortunately, this

The wind and sand were so strong that Yang Hao's outpost collided with the hidden sentry before they were discovered. However, they sounded the drum and trumpet to warn, and the sound was clearly heard by Yang Hao's troops, as if they had given an order, and they all agreed in unison.

The ground launched a general attack, but the defenders could only vaguely hear sounds. I wonder if they misheard the howling of the wind and sand. If I wanted to listen more carefully, I found that the sentry had long been killed by Yang Hao's men.

The wind and sand were raging, the sky and the earth were dark, Yang Hao's army directly entered the camp, and the two sides killed each other in darkness. Yang Hao's people were originally prodigal bandits and criminal herdsmen. Although they had been trained for more than two months, they were currently

The best thing is to fight independently, and the situation tonight is just suitable for them to perform. This night of fierce fighting, the losing side lost inexplicably, and the winning side won inexplicably. However, the wind and sand were too strong, making it difficult to see. The defender general brought

Thousands of people fled without knowing what was going on, and no one was able to intercept them.

At dawn, the flag of Zhuolunchuan's position has been changed to the word "Yang".

This battle was won brilliantly, but Yang Hao did not dare to be careless at all, because he knew that the defenders stationed in Jialuchuan and Zhuolunchuan were wiped out in one battle, which was a special battle example that cannot be replicated. The first reason was that the defenders had no intention of fighting.

, through interrogating the prisoners, Yang Hao has confirmed that Li Guangrui's entire army has learned about the fall of Xiazhou, and the military morale is in chaos and morale is low.

The second reason is that Li Guangrui was eager to retreat and did not dare to let Yang Hao see his movements, so the number of vanguard troops sent to clear the way for these two groups was not very large. There were only more than 7,000 troops in each group. Yang Hao, Yang Chongxun, and others

Although the total strength of the three Yuxuns is not as good as that of Li Guangrui, their local strength has an absolute advantage.

The third reason is that the whole plan was originally planned by Yang Hao, so he took the lead. Li Guangrui did not expect that they would get ahead of him so quickly, abandoning Yinzhou City, which they wanted to rescue, and go ahead.

Attack Jialuchuan and Zhuolunchuan.

When Li Guangrui's army arrives, it will be a real tough battle. By then, Yang Hao has the advantage of having a good location and strong morale, while Li Guangrui has a huge army and the power of mourning troops. Who wins and who loses?

There were too many unpredictable battlefield factors, so he could only use his advantage of seizing strategic locations first and race against time to prepare for war.

The information obtained by the scouts was continuously sent to Yang Hao's camp. As expected, Li Guangrui withdrew his troops. Overnight, his troops completely evacuated Yinzhou and rushed to the southeast. The army was huge, and Li Guangrui sent a large number of troops.

The scouts on horseback were scouting the road ahead. Yang Hao was worried that the encounter between the scouts from both sides would make Li Guangrui more alert. Since their marching route had been determined, Yang Hao ordered his scouts to stay away from Li Guangrui's forward and not to interfere with it.

touch.

Two days later, according to the estimated itinerary, Li Guangrui's army was approaching. Yang Hao was ready and prepared for the most brutal battle. Suddenly, a piece of news came from the front that he couldn't understand: Li Guangrui's army had retreated! This

The retreat was based on Yang Hao's prearranged route. Suddenly, the front team changed to the rear team, and the rear team changed to the front team, leaving an empty camp overnight, and the 80,000-strong army disappeared out of thin air.

Yang Hao broke out in a cold sweat and immediately informed Zhe Yuxun. Both sides sent a large number of scouting horses across the entire grassland, trying their best to search for news about Li Guangrui. A day later, Yang Hao's scouting horses followed the traces of soldiers and horses that could not be concealed on the grassland.

The whereabouts of Li Guangrui were found by the Wuding River. On the bank of the surging river, there were many broken trench bridges and ladders. Li Guangrui used these siege equipment as bridges to cross the Wuding River and headed southwest!

The old fox smelled the danger and knew that an ambush had been laid here? He abandoned the partial division and his son who was fighting hard on the Camel Ridge, and led the main army to retreat alone? It is simply unbelievable!

There is a saying in the art of war: When a soldier advances lightly, he retreats heavily. The soldiers retreat quickly and it is difficult to fight for the lead. If the enemy warns us from behind, the army will be in chaos; if the enemy takes advantage of it and attacks us, the danger will be especially serious. Therefore, I retreat from the enemy.

The scene of chasing is the most dangerous way of marching. Even if Li Guangrui is willing to use these two partial troops as bait to lure them to deploy troops here, what is the use of this suspicious formation?

Li Guangrui had a large number of soldiers and horses. If he wanted to retreat, one battalion would retreat first, then set up camp and be on alert. The other battalion would then retreat, then set up camp and be on alert. If the battalions move alternately in this way, it is impossible for the 80,000-strong army to retreat in a swarm.

In that case, it would be better to send his head directly to Yang Hao's knife. But if he marches like this, he will never be able to go faster, and Yang Hao will definitely be able to catch up.

Once a disorganized army retreats, the atmosphere of panic cannot be suppressed. They can still fight when there is an enemy in front of them, but there is an enemy behind them? How can the armies not rush to escape first? Li Guangrui will definitely not be able to control the situation by then

Okay, it's unbelievable to take such a risk, and he also retreated to the southwest. Where is the southwest?

There was no city, no town, just a vast grassland, the territory of the Dangxiang Seven Clan. Li Guangrui was willing to take a strange risk and instead of advancing towards Suizhou, which was closest to him and had the best chance of success, he fought back to the prairie.

What does he want to do?

Yang Hao hurriedly unfolded the map, looked at it briefly, and couldn't help but gasp. Li Guangrui had only one possibility to go southwest: to travel a long distance and fight back to Xiazhou. Shizhou, the key pass of the Great Wall, was still under Li Guangrui's control. He could return to Dazhou through Shizhou.

The northwest is theoretically possible. There is another state north of Shizhou that is under his absolute control, and that is Youzhou. It would be good to recapture Xiazhou, but if he cannot, he will definitely move his troops to Youzhou.

The advantage of this is that it breaks Yang Hao's plan to cut off the connection between him and the foundation land, and Yang Hao forces him between himself and the forces of Linzhou and Li Guangrui, making him a rat in a bellows and suffering from both sides.

. Then he will secure Xiazhou, rely on the support of the eight Dangxiang clans, and his radiation will continue to expand. He will eventually take over Youzhou and become the true king of the northwest. Even if he, Li Guangrui, is not eliminated, he will become the king of the northwest.

The weakest vassal among the four vassals, this was a situation that Li Guangrui could not tolerate even if he died.

A dog jumps over the wall when he is anxious. For this reason, Li Guangrui chose a difficult and dangerous path, but with a chance of making him a phoenix.

In order to win this chess game, he took great pains to plant two abandoned sons in Zhuolun River and Jialu River. Even his son was regarded as an abandoned son by him. It is difficult for people to doubt his intention to move to Suizhou. He is really a generation.

Hero.

But... can he succeed? Does Li Guangrui have the ability to stage a Dunkirk rout?

From now on, it is still a long way to Shizhou. As long as Yang Hao catches up, he will not end up fleeing to Suizhou and possibly suffer heavy losses, but...the whole army will be destroyed!

At this time, another scout came to report that they found a family of herdsmen living near the crossing point. From the information obtained by the herdsman, Li Guangrui's army had already begun to cross the river. When Yang Hao launched a surprise attack on the two rivers, Li Guangrui

The main force of the army has fled southwest along the Wuding River. The vanguard force that originally advanced towards the two rivers suddenly became the rear force. The force that suddenly crossed the river to the west only had about 20,000 people. They were just a cover, and they were also Li Guangrui.

After setting up a blocking force, his main force had already gained a three-day advantage.

"Chase!"

Yang Hao made a prompt decision!

With every minute of hesitation, Li Guangrui went farther west. His adoptive father Li Guangcen had just established a foothold in Xiazhou, but Yang Hao did not allow Li Guangrui to return there. Once he got there, he would be like a dragon entering the sea and a tiger returning to the mountain. Who would win?

It's hard to say which one will lose.

"Immediately break camp, bringing only grain, grass, ordnance. There is no time to dismantle the tents, and immediately pursue Wuding River. Send someone to inform General Zhe Yuxun of the news and ask him to come to the rescue immediately. Then inform General Yang Chongxun and ask him to come to the rescue immediately.

Luotuoling continues to block Li Jijun's troops to prevent my innermost being from being attacked by him!"

After a series of orders, the entire military camp immediately turned into a pot of boiling water. The entire army mounted their horses as quickly as possible and left Zhuolunchuan like a strong wind under the leadership of the scouts.

At this time, Zhe Ziyu, who was dressed in black clothes and men's clothing, was rushing towards Zhuolunchuan on horseback. He was dripping with sweat while running. The mustache on his lips was missing, and she didn't even notice...
