Chapter 10 Lu Shizhou vs. Feishan
Yang Chenglei obeyed the order and stood up, picked up the sledgehammer and walked out of the door. He only heard the chirping of doves and saw countless black shadows. The soldiers of Wugang were frantically chasing the cave soldiers. Before Yang Chenglei could move forward to fight, he had been killed.
He was shot down by a hidden arrow. The soldiers in the village hurriedly reported to Pan Jinsheng. Pan Jinsheng was horrified and asked: "Did this soldier fall from the sky?" After saying that, he picked up his sword and rushed out, preparing to fight hard.
However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the village, he was surrounded by Chu soldiers. Pan Jinsheng was so angry that his eyes bulged out, and he tried to kill for a while, but no matter how hard he fought, he couldn't get out. Lu Shizhou saw Pan Jinsheng's bravery.
, knowing that if you fight head-on with him, you may not be able to gain the upper hand, so you can only use sneak attacks to achieve success.
Lu Shizhou hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike. While Pan Jinsheng was fighting fiercely with his back turned to him, Lu Shizhou forcefully swung out the steel flying claw and grabbed Pan Jinsheng's right foot. This was a weapon Lu Shizhou had recently crafted.
With a strong pull, he pulled Pan Jinsheng onto his back. Lu Shizhou's soldiers rushed forward and took the opportunity to hold Pan Jinsheng down. Pan Jinsheng knew something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "Go and report Yang Zaisi to ask him to come."
Send troops to rescue!" Pan Jinsheng was quickly tied up by Wu Huada and became Lu Shizhou's prisoner.
Feishan Village fell, Lu Shizhou went on a killing spree, and bloodbathed Feishan. The entire Feishan was littered with corpses, and more than 3,000 people were killed. After some shrewd Dong Ding escaped by taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, they ran non-stop to Langxi Cave, heading towards
Yang Zaisi reported the news. Seeing people dressed the same as himself, Ding of Shouzhaidong asked, "What's the matter with them and where did they come from?" Feishandong Ding gasped and replied: "Hurry,
Quick report, Chief Yang, is sending first aid to Feishan, our Feishandong was attacked by the Chu army!"
When the Langxi cavemen heard this, they were shocked and knew that it was something serious. They hurriedly brought them to meet Yang Zaisi. Seeing their embarrassment, Yang Zaisi hurriedly asked: "Tell me, what's the emergency?" The cave soldiers from Feishan Village said:
"Somehow, without us noticing, we were attacked by Chu general Lu Shizhou. Lord Yang Dong died in the battle. Lord Pan Dong was injured by the Yin Claw in the fierce battle. When he was held down by several big men, he shouted, "We are coming."
Report, please go and save me!" Yang Zaisi heard that the King of Chu sent Lu Shizhou to lead troops to sneak attack Feishan, kill Yang Chenglei, and capture Pan Jinsheng. He was very angry. He slammed the table and shouted: "Send troops immediately to kill Lu Shizhou.
, rescue Lord Pandong!" He called the soldiers to deliver an urgent message, summoned the villagers, gathered the people, and went to rescue Feishan as quickly as possible. Yang Zaisi swore: He would avenge Yang Chenglei and Pan Jinsheng.
Yang Zaisi led the barbarian general Dong Ding on a rapid march, and arrived at the boundary of Feishandong in one day. They saw that Lu Shizhou's troops were still massacring the people of Dong, and all the barbarian soldiers were filled with indignation. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Lu Shizhou was also a little surprised.
He hurriedly gathered his troops and set up camp at the foot of Feishan Mountain to form a confrontation with the barbarian army. Yang Zaisi arranged for his generals to fight Lu Shizhou in turn, using the wheel warfare method to make Lu Shizhou out of breath. After all, Lu Shizhou had been fighting for a day, and his physical strength was
Not supported.
Lu Shizhou had no choice but to use his special move Flying Claw again. Yang Zaisi had already expected this move. He saw Yang Zaisi rising into the air, aiming at the Flying Claw with his sword and slashing at it. There was only a clang sound as the Flying Claw was cut off and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lu Shizhou turned around and ran away. Yang Zaisi pointed his sword and shouted loudly: "Lu Shizhou, you can't escape! Put my brother Jin Sheng back quickly, and I will let you go. Otherwise, I will cut him off."
Use your head as a pig's head to pay homage to brother Yang Chenglei!"
Lu Shizhou ran back to his camp and shouted sternly: "Yang Zaisi, if you are not afraid of death, we can fight again tomorrow and see who among us can win!" Yang Zaisi responded loudly: "I will spare you today, but I will not let Pan Jinsheng go tomorrow. Be careful with you."
The dog's head!" Yang Zaisi knew in his heart that Lu Shizhou was not an easy person. His barbarian army had been marching in a hurry and had become exhausted. It would be detrimental to him to fight Lu Shizhou.
Although Yang Zaisi defeated Lu Shizhou, he was not sure of completely defeating Lu Shizhou. He wanted to rest for a night and build up his morale before he could compete with Lu Shizhou. After setting up camp, Yang Zaisi summoned the leaders to discuss how to defeat the enemy and save Jin Sheng.
.
Someone said: "Tomorrow, I will first kill Lu Shizhou on the battlefield and defeat his army. Then I will rush into his camp to rescue people and kill him so hard that none of them can go back!" Someone else said: "I
I think that if I kill Lu Shizhou, the life of Lord Pan Cave may not be saved. It is better to capture Lu Shizhou alive in exchange for Pan Jinsheng; when they retreat, we will intercept them step by step and make them all go astray!" Someone else said: "
We have many people and are locals, so we don’t have to worry about food and grass; they come from afar and don’t have much food and grass, so we surround them without our efforts and turn them into starving ghosts!”
After listening to everyone's discussion, Yang Zaisi felt that "capturing Lu Shizhou alive in exchange for Pan Jinsheng" was a good idea. He thought to himself: "Lu Shizhou is very cunning. He must come up with a better strategy to trap him."
Lu Shizhou suffered the consequences of the wheel battle during the day, and his weapons were also destroyed. Although he said hard words, he was not sure how to deal with it the next day. Lu Shizhou secretly thought: "Although I succeeded in the sneak attack on Feishan, I don't want Yang Zaisi's reinforcements."
Coming so fast, it is estimated that other Dongtong armies will arrive here soon. By then, our army will not have the advantage in numbers. I will go deep alone, and fighting head-on is not the best strategy. It will be really dangerous at that time.
Fortunately. Fortunately, the King of Chu has given the secret in person, and today is the time to implement it."
Master Lu was aware of Zhou's plan and immediately sent an order and issued a
He asked the soldiers to catch some chickens and hang them on the war drums, so that the chickens' feet would step on the drums. They could not stand or walk, so they had to kick their feet wildly and beat the war drums continuously;
Withered grass was used to raise thick smoke. For a while, the drums kept beating and fire smoke was rising, as if the camp had stepped up its defense. With everything arranged properly, Lu Shizhou quietly gathered his troops and left while it was dark.
Early the next morning, Dong Ding, who was on sentry duty, reported to Yang Zaisi: "Last night, the drums were beating non-stop and the fireworks were billowing in the Turtle Dove Camp. It's still like this now, but the drumming has become sparse and the smoke has become lighter. I don't know what the situation is."
When Yang Zaisi heard this, he knew that there must be a Mingtang inside. He immediately went out of the camp to see what was going on. When he heard the rhythmless sound of the drums and the endless smoke, he knew that Lu Shizhou had already withdrawn.
So, Yang Zaisi immediately divided his troops into three groups and rushed into Lu Shizhou's camp without any obstruction. When he entered the camp, he saw that there were no human figures anywhere? The drummers were roosters hanging on the drums. There were piles of smoke.
Chaff and withered grass. How could this be playing drums to refresh oneself or burying pots to make rice? Yang Zaisi checked the traces and concluded that Lu Shizhou had fled to Wugang. So he divided the Dong army into six groups, supported each other, and hurriedly pursued them.
The Dong army pursued them for a day and a night. Two groups of people pursued them to Wuyang Village; two groups of people chased them to Yangjiaqiao; two groups of people chased them to Tata Ridge outside Wugang City. Those who chased them outside Wugang City stopped at Yang Zaisi's farm.
Under the leadership of his son Yang Zhenglong and his second son Yang Zhengtao, they set up camp outside the city and sent spies to the city to find out the truth.
As soon as the spies arrived near the city gate, they saw that the city gate had long been closed and blocked, and a human head was hanging high on top of the city. Feishandong Ding, who was accompanying him, took a look at it and said loudly: "This is our Lord Pan Dadong." He hurried back.
Camp report. Yang Zhengtao came over, shot an arrow through the rope hanging the head, and snatched Pan Jinsheng's head back.
At this time, Yang Zaisi had arrived at Tata Ridge. His second son had come to report the death of Lord Pan Dashong and had just snatched his head. When Yang Zaisi heard this, he stamped his feet in anger. Seeing that Pan Jinsheng had been killed, Yang Zaisi saw that Wugang City was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Even if he pays a lot of money to attack, Pan Jinsheng cannot be saved. Moreover, his barbarian army is also a tired army, and it is not suitable for a hard battle. Yang Zaisi ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and some troops returned to Zhuzhu, and fought in Wuyangzhai and Guanxia areas.
After setting up defenses, the large group of troops withdrew their troops and returned to Feishandong.
The barbarian army cleaned up the battlefield, buried the dead Dongding and villagers, and comforted the people of Feishandong who survived. The barbarian army was stationed in Feishan Village, and the command post was located in Toubaoding. The leaders of each village in Feishandong
They discussed: "Yang Chenglei died in battle, Pan Jinsheng was captured and beheaded. We have no leader in Feishandong, so we will inevitably be bullied in the future. Maybe Lu Shizhou will attack again. We still ask leader Yang to move to Feishandong.
I will take care of you in the future." So, he killed the cow to collect the money and asked Yang Zaisi not to leave.
Yang Zaisi also knew that the location of Feishan Cave was very important. If Feishan Cave was not protected, Langxi Cave would lose its southern barrier, which would be very dangerous. Therefore, he agreed to stay in Feishan. After that, each caveman left some caves.
The rest of the troops returned temporarily. Ma Yin sent troops to sneak attack Feishandong this time and won a complete victory. He killed the leader Pan Jinsheng, Yang Chenglei and more than 3,000 people in the cave, and completely destroyed the hinterland of Feishantong that Pan Jinsheng and Yang Chenglei had worked hard for many years.
The vitality of Feishandong was greatly damaged.
Although Yang Zaisi raised his troops and arrived in time, he did not harm Lu Shizhou at all, and was designed by Lu Shizhou to retreat to Wugang. Because the barbarian army assembled too hastily, they only solved the siege of Feishandong and attacked Wugang City, but they were not sure of victory.
They had no choice but to retreat for the time being, and everyone returned to the cave boundary. When Yang Zaisi withdrew his troops, he re-set up defenses and posted sentries. He believed that the King of Chu would not send troops back in the short term, so he focused on how to restore the glory of Feishantong as soon as possible.
But wise men always make mistakes. They did not sum up the experience and lessons of Lu Shizhou's sneak attack in time, and followed the same old path when pursuing. They thought that Lu Shizhou came from this road and quietly avoided the checkpoints, and did not notice at all.
That secret passage.
Lu Shizhou stationed 5,000 Hengshan soldiers in Wugang City. He went to Tanzhou Palace to see Ma Yin and reported the details. Ma Yin was overjoyed and praised Lu Shizhou vigorously and gave many rewards. Ma Yin summoned everyone to discuss and attack Fei.
Mountain cave.
Ma Yin said: "General Lu's attack on Feishan this time has achieved great success. Not only did he win a complete victory, but he also retreated without losing a single soldier. He killed more than 3,000 people in Dongding, including their leaders Pan Jinsheng and Yang Chenglei.
They died together. The mob Yang Zaisi gathered to protect them was too hasty. If our army had not gone deep alone and was tired, we would have defeated them again."
Lu Shizhou said: "Most of the barbarian troops have dispersed now. Although there are defenders in Wuyang, the secret way of our sneak attack has not been discovered by them. We can use it again. However, how to deal with the barbarian army in Wuyang still has to be solved.
A good strategy is needed." Ma Yin said: "There are only a few people in Feishan Cave, so we can send out troops before their strength has recovered and build a walled city at the foot of Feishan. Our troops can be stationed here to intimidate the barbarians!
So that we can defeat the enemy without a fight and force them to surrender."
Seeing that Lu Shizhou still had doubts, Ma Yin continued: "I will order the Shaozhou soldiers to contain Wuyang and attack the Meishan barbarians at the same time. We will launch a large-scale attack on the barbarians. This is the strategy that the military advisor and I have formulated long ago to attack the east and attack the west!"
Master Lu heard this on Monday and said happily: "Your Majesty is very clever. This is a wonderful plan. I will attack Feishantong again and use Wugang as the rear to replenish food, grass and troops to ensure that I can control the Feishan barbarians for a long time."
Ma Yin immediately ordered Lu Shizhou to send troops again. Lu Shizhou accepted the order and led
He led his 5,000 soldiers and horses back to Feishan. Yang Zaisi assessed the situation, temporarily avoided his attack, and retreated to Feishan Village. He must not confront anyone head-on. Yang Zaisi brought several hundred old and young, and the cave was no more than a hundred people. By the time the barbarian soldiers dispersed, they had already dispersed.
If you bring all the food and leave it in Feishan Village, it can last for several months. There are fertile fields and thousands of hectares of mountainous land. There are abundant water sources, there are endless ponds, and waterfalls hang high on the cliffs. The trees are lush and the climate is pleasant.
As long as the defense is strengthened, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Lu Shizhou saw that Feishan was well guarded and had no confidence in winning. Therefore, Lu Shizhou built a Mawang City and built a Mawang Bridge for the convenience of marching. He divided some troops and horses to station on another hillside.
To support each other, Lu Shizhou made various preparations to deter the Dong people. He knew that the Dong people would not be able to counterattack in the short term. At this time, Song Ye was rampant in the north. The King of Chu sent an order to move to attack, and ordered Yang Dingzhen to succeed Lu Shizhou as the military commander.
In response to Ma Yin's call, General Gang Shoujiang and Lu Shi Zhou went north to pacify Ye in the Song Dynasty, leaving five hundred soldiers behind for Yang Dingzhen.
Yang Zaisi heard from the spies that Lu Shizhou's troops had withdrawn, and only Yang Dingzhen led 500 elite troops to garrison. Yang Zaisi thought to himself that this might be Lu Shizhou's conspiracy to lure me to send troops. What's more, Feishandong has no troops to send out, and there are hundreds of old and weak people.
It is difficult to fight, so we have to wait and see. Dongding must not be careless in guarding the trap. Yang Dingzhen also knows that if all the barbarians gather together, their strength will still be great.
Yang Ding really wanted to make a great contribution, so he sent an envoy to Yang Zaisi and said, "If you can join the King of Chu, you can share the wealth and honor." Yang Zaisi was also hesitant. He did not agree immediately, nor did he give a reply, and said evasively: "Everyone wants to
We’ll decide after discussion.”
The people of Feishandong had a bloody feud with Lu Shizhou, but they lacked the strength to take revenge. Now that Chu soldiers were stationed here, they could only watch helplessly. Therefore, the people of the cave no longer resisted on the surface, nor did they refuse reconciliation.
.Secretly contacted hundreds of men, women and children from various villages around Feishandong, secretly sharpened knives and sticks, made bows and arrows, and made full preparations.
At the end of the year, Yang Zaisi sent Dong Ding to send a message to Yang Dingzhen, saying: "Now is the Chinese New Year, and we will dance dragons and lions. This was decided during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the officials and the people will enjoy it together. Don't you want to make peace with us? Then
, we will perform dragon and lion dances to celebrate the New Year with you in the first month." Yang Dingzhen was overjoyed, thinking that it was the intimidation of force and gentleness that forced the barbarians to reconcile with him. Yang Dingzhen immediately agreed and said: "I will also reward you when the time comes!
"
Yang Ding was really not a simple-minded person. He had made great achievements in the battle at Liuyangkou and won the respect of Ma Yin later. He also knew that the people of the cave might have other plans. But in the blink of an eye, Feishandong's vitality was not good.
Maybe they will recover soon and won't have the strength to counterattack for a while. Moreover, they live in scattered places and it is not easy to gather them together. I can send more spies and more soldiers to help defend, and then make preparations in Wugang to prevent changes. I hope nothing will happen.
.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the cave people put up offerings. Although there were not many people in each village, after passing the "Dragon Lantern Tour Village", the number of people slowly increased. Because they were afraid that Yang Ding would know it, the barbarians could not gather in public.
We can take advantage of the opportunity of traveling to the village to quietly gather people and horses in Feishandong, but we cannot mobilize too much to avoid alerting Yang Dingzhen. If we mobilize more troops, it will be troublesome. After several days of traveling to the village, more than 2,000 people have been gathered.
It's enough to deal with Yang Dingzhen's five hundred elite soldiers.
On the evening of the 15th day of the first lunar month, three cannons were fired from the Drum Tower of Feishan Village, and a big dragon danced, followed by gongs and drums to clear the way, followed by a lion rolling a hydrangea ball. The person who danced the dragon head was Yang Zaisi. When they danced outside the west gate of Mawang City, one after another
Gathering eight giant dragons from each village.
Yang Dingzhen's five hundred soldiers were distributed throughout the city, closely monitoring these people to prevent unexpected events. The officers and soldiers in Wugang City also sent some to contain Wuyang. Yang Dingzhen saw that each dragon team only had thirty people, and there were not many young and strong people, eight.
The total number of Dragon Lantern Team does not exceed 300 people. "These are old and weak, and they have no weapons. Even if they have any plans, they can't achieve anything big!" Yang Dingzhen was careless and didn't think too much. The barbarians came to pay him New Year's greetings. There were 500 people in the city.
The elite soldiers were also fully prepared.
But he didn't know that some barbarians had already disguised themselves as old and weak. There were also three hundred men from outside the city who came in the dark. As long as there was any movement in the city, they would rush in to respond. Soon, Bajiao
The giant dragon rolled into the city. Suddenly there was a loud roar of gongs and drums, and the deafening firecrackers. The dragons rolled around, making it very lively.
Just as everyone was dazzled, Yang Zaisi danced his dragon head and rushed towards Yang Dingzhen. Eight big men hurriedly blocked it, but were swept to the ground. Seeing this, several other guards quickly protected Yang Dingzhen and evaded backstage. They had been prepared.
The Dongding soldiers drew their weapons one after another and beat the soldiers fiercely. The Dongding soldiers outside the city heard the sound and swarmed in, beating Yang Dingzhen's 500 elite soldiers to pieces.
Overnight, five hundred soldiers were killed and very few were left. Yang Dingzhen took advantage of the chaos and escaped under the protection of several big men, and was taken into Wugang City by the Wugang soldiers who came to meet him. Yang Zaisi knew that Yang Dingzhen would definitely move his troops to take revenge.
So he led the barbarians back to Feishan.
Yang Dingzhen entered Wugang and hurriedly sent someone to report to Ma Yin, requesting additional troops. Ma Yin was furious when he received the report. He transferred Lu Shizhou away, just to let Yang Dingzhen subdue Yang Zaisi with a gentle strategy. Ma Yin did not want to kill them all, that way
Chapter completed!
