Chapter 15 Mountain Road Encounter(1/2)
"Report—!!" The scout rushed over and turned over and got off the horse and knelt in front of the army. "Thousands of soldiers and horses appeared in front of them, only ten miles apart, and they were advancing here!"
"What flag is it?" Liu Bao was in a bad mood now.
"There is a song in front, and a big flag is scattered! The back is quite messy."
"Pang Lishan bandits?" Zhao Tong said quickly, "Lord, what should I do? The bandit army was afraid that it had a good advantage yesterday and wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Huajun. But when we met our army, it would be a problem! There is only one road ahead, so it is better to retreat first..."
"Retreat?" Liu Bao's eyes flashed with anger, "Where to retreat? Should I go back outside Huajun City and let the Liang family's son laugh at it?"
"Pang Lishan bandits have just defeated Liang Chun and their morale is strong..."
"So what? A group of mobs who were lucky enough to win the night attack was Liang Chun himself incompetent! I have elite soldiers and generals, so why are you afraid of?" Liu Bao directly ordered, "Let the formation to meet the enemy! When I wipe out the bandits, I will just take the credit from the court, and it will also make Liang Chun's old man lose all his face!"
"Lord, I feel ashamed of myself."
"Don't you send an order?"
"Here!"
On the other side, Qu Qin and Zhang Chang led their troops down the mountain and quickly moved towards Huajun, hoping to catch him off guard before the other party responded.
Halfway through the army, a bandit scout rushed back: "Report——! The troops of Huajun were found in front of him, and the troops were arranged ten miles away."
"What?!" Qu Qin was shocked and ordered the marching to be suspended, and turned to look at Zhang Chang.
"What flag did the other party use?" Zhang Chang was also surprised and asked hurriedly.
"The main flag is the character Liu!"
"Liu...Caval Commander Liu Bao?" Zhang Chang pondered for a moment, "Did the other party expect our army to come and have prepared?"
"What should I do?" Qu Qin was a little worried.
"Why might as well ask Mr. You?"
"Yeah~" Qu Qin immediately turned around and shouted, "Please come over by Mr. You."
"Please Mr. You--!!" The bandits behind him passed the message one by one.
A horse from behind the team passed through the crowd and came to Qu Qin Zhangchang: "Why did the two generals stop suddenly?"
"Mr. You, the troops of Huajun appeared ten miles ahead, and it was Liu Bao's leader!" Qu Qin said respectfully.
"Oh?" the literati lowered his head and thought, "Is it okay that Liang Chun is not seriously injured? If he falls, Liu Bao will definitely seize power, so how could he lead his troops out of the city? Or, he has seized the power of Huajun..."
"Mr. You, what should we do now?" Zhang Chang asked, "Since the government army is ready, will we retreat to the mountains?"
"Yes! I wanted to take the opportunity to seize Huajun, but the other party was prepared..." Qu Qin also hesitated.
"How many soldiers and horses do the other party have? But they are united with the Liang family?" asked the literati.
"This..." Qu Qin and Zhang Chang looked at each other.
"Two generals can send scouts to investigate again! If the Liang family and Liu Bao abandon their past grudges and work together, we should retreat to Pang Lishan and find another opportunity. If it is just Liu Bao, it just happened to design to swallow it and attack Hua County with the power of victory. Now that Hua County is in harmony, it is strong, and the division is weak, it depends on the situation."
"It's reasonable!" Qu Qin nodded, and then ordered the scout, "I'll ask you to find out again!"
"Here!"
One mile is not 1,000 meters, according to the unit of measurement of the current dynasty of this world, it is only about four or five hundred meters.
Therefore, the ten-mile land is up to 5,000 meters, which is very close. If there are not a few mountains blocking it and it is replaced by plain terrain, it is estimated that the two armies can see each other from afar.
The scout rode his horse to investigate the high place, and then returned: "Report——! There were about four or five thousand officers and soldiers, and there were no Liang flags, and there were no other troops around."
"It seems that it is Liu Bao and his subordinates!" Qu Qin asked, "Mr. You, what do you think is going on?"
When the literati faced Qu Qin, Zhang Chang's gaze closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I believe that Liu Bao failed to seize power, suffered a loss from the Liang family, and wanted to go to Ju County to take revenge!"
"Is that true? Since Liu Bao and the Liang family have had a quarrel, can they persuade him to surrender to our army and work together to attack the city?" Zhang Chang's eyes lit up.
The literati shook his head slightly: "Although Liu Bao had a quarrel with the Liang family, he would not abandon his official position. He is an official, and we are thieves. What's more, the dignified cavalry commander is considered to be one person in Huajun."
"That's right," Zhang Chang nodded.
"Mr. You, according to your opinion..." Qu Qin asked seriously.
"I guess the Liang family and Liu Bao have fallen out and will not send troops to rescue him." The literati smiled. "I don't even understand this principle. Hua County is destined to fall into the hands of our army. For the two generals, I have a plan to capture Liu Bao!"
"Sir, please give me some advice!" Qu Qin and Zhang Chang came over quickly.
"Just like this, this way..."
After listening to the literati's plan, Qu Qin Zhangchang's expression of admiration appeared on his face and immediately sent an order.
At this moment, Liu Baojun formation.
"Report—!!" The scout kept inquiring about the rewards. This was the seventh wave. "The bandit army was the front army, and the back army was the front army, and the back army was the front army, and they turned around and retreated!"
"Oh?" In fact, the two sides met ten miles apart. During the stalemate, the scouts kept inquiring. Liu Bao was also quite nervous, thinking that the other party would attack. Who would have thought that the bandit was afraid and turned around and wanted to leave? It was really unexpected!
"Lord, I'm afraid that I've heard of your reputation and will not be able to defeat you." Zhao Tong said hurriedly, "It seems that winning against Liang Chun yesterday was just a lucky draw, and it was a mess in the end!"
Liu Bao reached out to touch his beard, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Is that right?"
"It must be so!" Zhao Tong nodded excitedly, "How can Pang Lishan rat thief not be afraid of the lord's power?"
"Hahaha~" Liu Bao laughed proudly, "It's really not worth mentioning!"
"The lord takes the opportunity to pursue it. If you can obtain Qu Qin and Zhang Chang's head, it will be a great achievement!" Zhao Tong said, "Liang Chun returned with great defeat, but the lord wiped out the thief army. At that time, rumors will be spread, and the people in the world will believe in the lord..."
"Yeah~" Liu Bao narrowed his eyes, "Tell me that I will order you, and the whole army will attack!"
"Catta Commander, the entire army attacks!"
......
Liu Bao personally led his troops and walked along the winding road. He soon discovered the retreating bandits of Pang Lishan.
Seeing the song, Master Zhang immediately led his troops to chase after him, shouting all the way: "Don't leave, keep your life!"
"kill--!!"
"Go back to Pang Lishan quickly, I'll come to the palace behind!" Zhang Chang turned his horse's head and shouted, "Shoot the arrow! Don't let the officers and soldiers get close!"
"Swish swish swish swish swish!" The bandits and archers lined up, and under the protection of the snatchers behind, the arrows were densely packed.
"Crash! It's just a group of mobs, kill me!!" Liu Bao raised his sword.
"Kill--!!" The subordinates around him led the troops to charge, the cavalry took the lead, the infantry followed by the archers covering.
"Rebel Zhang Chang, dare to fight with me!" Liu Bao shouted in front of the formation.
"Arrow! Archery!" Zhang Chang ignored it.
"No courageous bandit!" Liu Bao laughed, "No one can leave today!"
After a series of charges, Zhang Chang seemed to be unable to resist. He showed panic and quickly turned his head: "Retreat! Retreat!"
The bandit immediately turned around and followed them to escape from the battle, and fled quickly.
"The power of the cavalry commander!" Seeing the bandits fleeing, Zhao Tong rode forward and shouted loudly.
"The power of the cavalry commander! The power of the cavalry commander!!" The subordinates around him spoke in unison, and the morale of the officers and soldiers rose sharply.
Liu Bao raised his sword and rushed forward: "No one left, kill me!"
"kill--!!"
Zhang Chang led his troops to flee, following Qu Qin's steps, and Liu Bao led his troops to chase him reluctantly.
During the pursuit, the infantry and archers behind could not catch up with the cavalry and slowly lagged behind. The cavalry generals led by Liu Bao and nearly a hundred cavalry accompanying did not realize this. They only had Qu Qin, Zhang Chang, and the timid bandits who fled.
After chasing along the road for a while, there were suddenly sounds of gongs and drums on both sides of the mountains, and then countless bandits rushed out from side to side and appeared behind the officers and soldiers.
The sudden appearance of the bandits made Liu Bao and his subordinates turn around quickly.
At this moment, Qu Qin, who was fleeing in a hurry, turned his horse's head and rushed over quickly.
"Liu Bao, you have been trapped! You haven't surrendered yet?" Qu Qin laughed.
"Oh no!" Zhao Tong rode on the horse and looked around, his face pale, "Protect the lord!"
The surrounding generals rode horses to surround Liu Bao and protected him.
"Is it satisfying to chase?" Zhang Chang smiled, "Mr. Zhongyou's trick to defeat! He can even spare your life if he quickly dismounts and surrenders!"
"Arrogant!" Liu Bao was even more angry when he found out that he had been trapped, "All the generals followed me to break through!"
"Here!"
"Don't leave Liu Bao!" Qu Qin ordered loudly, "Shot the arrow!"
"Swish swish swish swish!!" The bandits surrounded the officers and soldiers in front and behind shot.
"Protect the lord!" Zhao Tong raised his gun to cover it.
"My lord follows us to break through!" The surrounding generals were loyal and used eighteen martial arts to cover Liu Bao's raid back. For a moment, the sword lights and swords were very fierce.
After paying a terrible price, Liu Bao was really lucky. Under the cover of Zhao Tong and others, he was seriously injured and successfully broke through the siege. He reopened the bandits in the rear blocking the road and fled desperately.
Dozens of generals and hundreds of elite cavalrymen did not escape. Fortunately, they rushed back to the large army and immediately ordered the entire army to advance.
Before the army could reach the rush, rockets filled the sky in an instant, directly disrupting the formation.
