Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 291
At Shiyang Pass, the two gorges are tightly locked, and the rapids are tumbling.Because there is a huge stone on the hanging rock that looks like a sheep, hence the name.

Li Dingguo looked up in the boundless twilight, and saw a lifelike boulder that looked like a goat at the top of the cliff guarding the cliff.Shiyang looked out at the pass, very majestic.

The Fengyu River under Shiyang Pass is as clear as a mirror, rushing endlessly, and the water is clear and clear.The high mountains and steep forests on both sides of the river bank are shrouded in clouds and mist, lush and green.

The enemy troops guarding the pass were shocked when they heard the shouts of killing.The general guarding the gate stomped his feet and said, "Zhi Niang, did these Ming soldiers fly down from the sky? Brothers, meet the enemy!"

Liu Jinzhong dispatched 1000 troops to guard Ziwu Road. The 1000 people were divided into two teams, 500 people were stationed in Ziwu Town, and 500 people guarded Shiyang Pass.

At this time, the Ming army attacking the pass was just the vanguard. The artillery had not yet reached the pass. Also, due to the darkness and the twists and turns of the mountain road, the field of vision was limited. The [-] enemy troops in the pass mistakenly thought that there were not many invading Ming troops and they could still organize them. Get up and defend.

The mountain road is narrow and strange rocks are piled up, it is difficult for the Ming army to form a formation, so they have to rush towards the pass.And being below, it is inconvenient to shoot, and the power of the musket is greatly reduced.

"Climb up with a white gun, and shoot when you get close!" Li Dingguo ordered.

The soldiers of the Ming army charged with their white guns, climbing rocks and walls, and they were extremely dangerous and in constant danger.

The closed enemy troops bent their bows and set up arrows, and feathered arrows shot out through the air, blocking the advance of the Ming army.He rolled stones from the gate and dropped all kinds of weapons for defending the city.

Arrows rained like flying, huge rocks rolled down with a rumble, dust filled the air, gravels shot out, and the echoes were stirred back by the cliffs on both sides, like the power of thunder, deafening.

In just a short moment, hundreds of Ming soldiers died, and many wounded soldiers lay screaming and rolling in the rubble. The scene was tragic.

Li Dingguo has led troops to fight for so many years, except that he suffered losses everywhere when he fought against Li Cunming in Yunnan, this was the first time he felt frightened.Based on the enemy's firepower, he estimated that the number of defenders was less than a thousand.

"It's really a majestic pass like iron! If [-] soldiers are deployed here, even if our army breaks through Shiyang Pass, we will lose everything." Li Dingguo felt a wave of fear, and sent people to urge the artillery to speed up.

After another quarter of an hour, the artillery finally rushed to Guanxia, ​​out of breath.Don't let them have a chance to breathe, quickly arrange all the tiger squat cannons, and fire the cannons.

The sound of the cannon sounded, and lead bullets flew over the pass, crackling and exploding in all directions.

The enemy guarding the pass finally felt that something was wrong, and the general said, "Damn, this Ming army has brought artillery, it must be a large army..."

Before the words fell, gunshots were heard again.It turned out that there were more than 200 soldiers of the Ming army finally climbed up the pass with white guns and shot with flintlock guns.

Once the pass is broken, the Ming army can continue to rush up the pass. If 500 people want to block the attack of tens of thousands of people, it is nothing more than a dream!

The situation turned immediately, and the Qing soldiers died one by one under the muskets, and there were only more than 300 people left in an instant.The guard panicked and said: "Run, if you don't run, you will have to see Lord Hades!"

The Qing soldiers fled frantically, and the Ming army chased after them. Both sides were red-eyed, and neither of them would relax for a moment.

Li Dingguo left 1000 men guarding Shiyang Pass. He didn't make any stops, and directed the rest of the soldiers to bite the fleeing enemy and not let go.When night fell, the Ming army invaded Ziwu Town.

The terrain of Ziwu Town was much wider, and the advantage of the large number of Ming troops was fully revealed at once.Ten times the advantage of the enemy, such a rich battle, for Li Dingguo's army, it is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the battle was over.Ziwu Town fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the thousand-man defender sent by Liu Jinzhong was completely annihilated, and all the food and supplies were returned to the Ming army.

In Ziwu Town, the torches are connected together, and the flames are so bright that they are as bright as day.

The soldiers stood in two rows to welcome Li Dingguo into the town.When Li Dingguo came to the town, someone cried, "General Li, we succeeded..."

As soon as this remark came out, it was like igniting a gunpowder keg, like digging a dam, and the emotions that had been pent up for many days broke out and poured out.

The soldiers cheered loudly, jumped and shouted, and threw their torches into the air.

"General Lee, we succeeded! General Lee, we succeeded!"

"Success, success..." Li Dingguo was trembling all over, his eyes were moist, and he almost cried, his heart beating wildly in his chest.

He looked back at the Qinling Mountains in the dark night, and saw a black mass of mountain ranges with rolling dragons and tigers.The hazy distant mountains, shadowy and shadowy under the cover of night, are suddenly far and near, and seem to be far away.

"Your Majesty, I led the army to raid Ziwu Valley, and I did it!" Li Dingguo faced Qinling and bowed his hands.

Standing up straight, Li Dingguo had already recovered his calm. There was no trace of joy or excitement on his face. His face was as sinking as water, like an ancient well without waves.

He waved his hand to signal the soldiers to calm down, and said calmly: "Going out of Ziwu Valley and capturing Shiyang Pass and Ziwu Town does not mean that the Ziwu Valley conspiracy has been completed. This is the beginning. There are more important things in the Ziwu Valley conspiracy. Part of it is that the soldiers are pointing directly at the city of Xi'an."

"All the soldiers listened to the order, rested overnight in place, replenished their strength, and continued the long-distance raid tomorrow morning!"

After the soldiers ate and went to sleep, Li Dingguo called a general and said: "Tomorrow you will lead 5000 soldiers to attack Xi'an City, and I will lead [-] troops to fight back to the carbine, all the way back from Xingping and Wugong, and intercept Liu Jinzhong. "

"Ah, we only have 1 horses, and we need to divide our troops? How can the general take [-] soldiers to attack Xi'an City?" the general said with a sad face.

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Look how anxious you are. The general didn't say that Xi'an must be captured, and he didn't let you issue a military order. Why are you so anxious? Listen to me, I have already had a relationship with General Li Guo." It was agreed that after mid-September, he will attack Xi'an City, so Li Guo's army is under the city of Xi'an at this moment, you go and join him."

"As for why I wanted to kill the carbine, the reason is very simple. If we don't destroy Liu Jinzhong's army, we may fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy. Back then, Zhuge Liang was unwilling to send troops out of the Meridian Valley. In fact, he also considered this situation. It's so easy to break through. Wei Yan's thinking is obviously too simple, this general is not Wei Yan, leading troops to fight is to eliminate all dangers."

After hearing Li Dingguo's explanation, the general suddenly realized: "General Li is more considerate. If that's the case, the general will follow orders!"

In the early morning of the next day, at the beginning of Mao, the Ming army had assembled.They regained their physical strength, and the rations in their backpacks were replenished. They were all full of energy and ready to fight.

Li Dingguo said in a loud voice, "Let's go!"

……

According to Li Dingguo's instructions, the general who led the troops to kill Xi'an City deliberately made a big bluff, and the sound of gongs and drums wherever he passed, lest the world would not know that the Ming army had left Ziwu Valley.

The news spread quickly, and Guanzhong was shocked again.But he said that within a few days, Liu Jinzhong, who was far away at Xieguguan, also got the news, and he was dumbfounded for a long time and couldn't recover.

"I was fooled, I was fooled, the Ming army stationed in Wuzhangyuan is also a suspect, grandma!"

Liu Jinzhong dropped his teacup, kicked over his chair, jumped into a rage, and breathed out, like a beast whose tail had been stepped on, his lungs were about to explode.

"Okay, Li Dingguo, you are so daring, oh my god, you actually used a strategy that Zhuge Liang didn't even dare to use, you are amazing, you want to go to heaven..."

Miscellaneous scolding endlessly, running around like headless chickens.

The deputy general persuaded: "General Liu calm down, there is still room for redemption. Li Dingguo used Ziwu Valley's conspiracy. Although he got out of Ziwu Valley, his goal has not been achieved. It is difficult to determine whether it is successful or not!"

"What did you say? Are you laughing at me?" Liu Jinzhong glared at the lieutenant general.

The deputy general said bravely: "General Liu, as long as the city of Xi'an has not been breached, the Ziwu Valley Conspiracy will not be considered complete."

Liu Jinzhong patted his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, it is such a truth! Oh, it's really not the time when Li Dingguo is happy, so why did I panic first? King Pingxi sits in Xi'an City, Li Dingguo If I can't attack in a short time, I'll let a praying mantis catch cicadas and orioles behind me, and I'm sure he won't be able to eat it and walk around!"

Then he made up his mind and issued a military order to let the deputy general lead 5000 people to defend Xiegu Pass.Liu Jinzhong marched eastward all the way, summoning soldiers from all over the country to attack Li Dingguo under the city of Xi'an.

When they arrived in Mei County on this day, Liu Jinzhong had gathered tens of thousands of people under his command. His army in Baoji had been entangled by Wang Zhibang and could not return.

However, Liu Jinzhong was not afraid. The total number of troops in Wugong and Xingping was tens of thousands. From this point of view, when he arrived in Xi'an, he would still be able to gather [-] troops.

"I shouldn't have any problems here. It depends on whether King Pingxi can hold the city of Xi'an. If King Pingxi abandons the city and flees, then all my efforts will be in vain!"

Liu Jinzhong thought to himself, but he was worried for Wu Sangui. In his opinion, his ability to lead troops and fight was far superior to others, even Wu Sangui could not compare.

"Well, King Pingxi must be desperately looking for death and life at this time. The fire is burning to the brow, and he can only rely on this general to turn the tide. He solved the crisis in Xi'an and killed Li Dingguo. I became famous all over the world. Does Wu Sangui dare to underestimate me? Maybe this battle After that, I can become a prince!"

The more I think about it, the more complacent I am, the more I think about it, the more I feel ecstatic, and the more I think about it, the more I can't wait to see Li Dingguo immediately, and then shout "Grandpa is here."

Before Liu Jinzhong's sweet dream was finished, he suddenly saw the soldiers in front running back and shouted angrily, "What's wrong? We're going to kill Xi'an, why are you running back?"

A soldier shouted: "General Liu, it's bad, Li Dingguo is here!"

"Fuck your mother, Li Dingguo is in the city of Xi'an right now..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but someone laughed loudly: "Liu Jinzhong, let your mother's shit fart, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, who said I was in Xi'an City? Tell you clearly, you are in Xingping, Wugong All the deployed troops have been annihilated by me!"

"Li Dingguo?" Liu Jinzhong almost rolled off his horse.

Li Dingguo laughed again: "Liu Jinzhong, this general is able to carry out the Meridian Valley Conspiracy, and I would like to thank you for your cooperation. After thousands of years, both of you and I will be recorded in the history books at the same time. When mentioning the Meridian Valley Conspiracy, your name will definitely be mentioned! As for who has a good reputation and who has a bad reputation, I think it will be clearly written in the annals of history!"

puff!
Liu Jinzhong was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew that Li Dingguo's words were true, and that he would be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history and become an eternal laughing stock.
