Lord of the House

(Second more)

Relying on the large number of troops, the Hezhong Army went out to intercept the Jinshan Pass, chased the enemy and retreated to a gentle **** at the western foot of Yanqueling to form a formation. It was almost when the roosters were crowing, and the crescent moon did not fall before dawn. More than 4,000 soldiers and horses in the river rushed to the foot of Yanque Ridge, and the two armies fought together.

Over the years, Liang Chengyi has been guarding the Hezhong Mansion and has had a better life than his brother Liang Chengchong.

The Cao family had to rely on Liang Chengyi to stop the Yanhu troops and horses from advancing westward along Hangu Pass.

While Huaidong stationed troops wantonly in Xuzhou, the troops that attracted Yanhu into the Hehuai area were concentrated in Shandong; in the dilapidated Henan, when Chen Zhihu's troops were at their peak, there were only 50,000 troops. In Henan, Chen Zhihu had to face Hezhong Liang Chengyi in the west, Nanyang Liang Chengchong in the southwest, and Huaixi Dongyuan in the south at the same time. Therefore, Liang Chengyi was in Hezhong Mansion and lived in danger of mountains and rivers, so he shared little pressure.

In addition, Hezhong is located between Heluo, and it was the only big city in Henan that the refugee army did not conquer at that time, and was less damaged by the war. On the other hand, the land in Hezhongfu was irrigated by the Yellow River and Luoshui, the land was fully developed, and the canals were complete.

After Yanhu entered the pass, the north bank of the Yellow River fell into his hands, and Liang Xi was guarding Shandong at that time. According to its logic, the Liang family should give up the Hezhong Mansion and concentrate their forces on Jinan, but the Liang family successively gave up Jinnan, Henan and other places to call the Huai Army, the head of the Tao Chun Institute at the time, to guard the defense, and only asked Liang Chengyi to lead the elite to guard the Hezhong. Seeing that he is rich in the river, he is reluctant to leave it to another family to guard.

However, it was the greed for the wealth of Hezhongfu that made the Liang family's troops scattered in Hezhong and Shandong. After Gu Wuchen failed to defend Qingzhou, Liang Xi still had 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he did not dare to defend Jinan. He was besieged by the Yanhu army on the way to the south, and only Liang Chengchong led the remnants to retreat to Nanyang.

If at that time, the Liang family had made the decision to give up the Hezhong Mansion to the Cao family, or asked the imperial court to send a general to lead an elite guard, and Liang Chengyi led his troops eastward to Jinan and joined forces with his father and brother, the Liang family would have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses available in Jinan. With Gu Wuchen, who was guarding Qingzhou, and guarding the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Yanhu would conquer Shandong in the early years of Yongxing, which was by no means an easy matter.

It is a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. Liang Xi betrayed his generals, and Liang Chengchong led the remnants to retreat to Nanyang and lived a miserable life. However, Liang Chengyi guarded Hezhong Mansion, a rich and prosperous place that was not affected by the war, and lived well.

After Liang Chengyi guarded the river, the influx of a large number of refugees also made the Hezhong Mansion have sufficient human resources.

If it weren't for the disadvantage of crossing the Yellow River last year, the soldiers and horses in the river would be considered strong and strong.

The so-called law of generals and soldiers, as long as there is sufficient money and food, strict discipline, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers will not be too bad.

Although the battle across the Yellow River was unsuccessful last year and lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, this time the retreat to the south was hurried, but seeing that there were few pursuers, and relying on more to bully the less, the troops and horses from the river were pressing towards Yanque Ridge, but they were still aggressive and could not see it. The decadent look of a hasty retreat south.

The front has been pressed towards Yanque Ridge, and the Jinshan Pass is completely open. There is no trace of the enemy within 30 to 40 miles. Liang Chengyi negotiated with Liang Dai, intending to eat the entire group of enemy soldiers who will not retreat in Yanque Ridge. go down.

In addition to leaving more than a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the camp, Liang Dai led another 3,000 soldiers and horses to press the Yanque Mountain. In the clear morning light, the dark shadows are like wolves running in the wild grass.

To the west of the camp is Dayu Mountain, and to the east is Jin Mountain, but apart from the two mountains, there are endless hills that can't end at a glance, and there are many dense forests on the mountains, obscuring the view.

Liang Dai was in the front line to supervise the battle, and Liang Chengyi wanted to sit in the camp in the mountains, so he couldn't see the battlefield ten miles away.

There were constant messengers galloping over to report the situation of the battle, saying that the enemy soldiers were retreating steadily, and they were pressed into a canyon in the northern section of Yanqueling, but when it came to the middle of the day, the battle stagnated and there was no further progress.

Liang Chengyi was anxious, and no one knew when the main force of Chen Zhihu's army would cross the Yellow River. Coming from the south bank of the Yellow River, it is more than a hundred miles away. If the battle in Yanqueling is entangled, even if it drags on overnight, it may be particularly unfavorable to the Hezhong Army.

Liang Chengyi was guarding the camp with his lieutenant Zhang Ding. He disregarded the heat at noon and rushed to Yanqueling surrounded by more than 200 cavalry. He wanted to personally supervise the battle and wipe out the enemy soldiers who were most likely chasing from Xingyang before sunset.

Passing through the canyon between the hills, in addition to the sound of horses' hooves rushing to the rain, Liang Chengyi could vaguely hear the sound of knives and halberds striking in front of him.

Listening to the approaching speed of the sound seemed to be too fast, Liang Chengyi felt abnormal and drove his horse up a hill on the left to look north.

This look made Liang Chengyi tremble.

Liang Chengyi only thought that Liang Dai led his troops to besiege the enemy in the Au Valley in the northern section of Yanque Mountain, and he could wipe out all the enemy soldiers as long as they attacked. Soldiers and horses, are they slashing like a sharp blade by an enemy soldier who recoiled from the valley?

The enemy soldiers all wore black armor, which was the color of the armor of the Henan army under Chen Zhihu. It was like a black torrent, which rushed the "earth dam" that Liang Dai had barely surrounded to burst.

Chen Zhihu was good at generals and soldiers, but Yanhu's resources for Chen Zhihu were also limited. When the Henan army was at its strongest, there were more than 50,000 soldiers, and it was impossible for all of them to be the elite of a hundred battles.

The elite and main force of the Henan Army were all brought to the north bank of the Yellow River by Chen Zhihu, and those who stayed behind in Xingyang and Daliang were the underdogs.

Liang Chengyi called Liang Dai's soldiers and horses to be the elites of the Hezhong Army. With 7,000 battles and 3,000 battles, they still had an absolute advantage in the opening battle, and the enemy soldiers were defeated and retreated. The fight showed signs of collapse, how could Liang Chengyi not be alarmed?

Liang Chengyi scolded Liang Dai for his incompetence in his heart, thinking that he would definitely be removed from his post after the war.

He didn't want to abandon the good situation, so he had to block, stop, and disperse the black torrent that rushed out. Liang Chengyi still had two hundred cavalry available, all of whom were elites from the army. He charged towards the mouth of Au Valley.

It was two miles away from here, and the light cavalry speeded up at this time, barely able to hit the waves of the black torrent, thus preventing the enemy soldiers from attacking the defenses on Liang Dai's flanks.

After walking for more than a mile in one breath, he was sweating all over when he arrived from the camp. At this time, panting heavily, he pulled out his saber. Liang Chengyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistening his dry throat, and was about to start As he charged, there was a sudden loud sound of war drums from the woods on the side, and a group of enemy soldiers were ambushed in the woods and rushed out.

The enemy soldiers were mostly armed with bows and crossbows, and they attacked from the flanks. The **** on the east side was quite steep, and the enemy soldiers could be asked to stand at the top of the **** and shoot down. Liang Chengyi restrained his horse to avoid it to the west, and the arrow rain covered him in the blink of an eye.

One of the personal guards next to him immediately shot an arrow in the chest, jumped up in pain, and threw the personal guard on the horse's back onto Liang Chengyi.

Liang Chengyi quickly avoided, but the Zaoliu horse under him was also hit by several arrows. I was caught off guard by killing this ambush soldier, and I didn't have the mind to take care of Liang Dai's side.

There were about four or five hundred soldiers in ambush. I don't know how long they were in ambush in the woods, but Liang Dai didn't notice it?

Although Liang Chengyi didn't raise his flag, his armor and the armor of the stalwarts made the enemy soldiers recognize him as a general. The ambush soldiers were all foot soldiers, but they also followed closely.

Liang Chengyi asked a general to lead more than a hundred cavalry to entangle the ambush, and he only led a few cavalry to join Liang Dai.

The more than 200 cavalry was suddenly covered by the rain of arrows of the ambush soldiers, and more than 20 people were lost all at once, which made Liang Chengyi feel sorry for him.

At this time, the enemy soldiers who came out of the Au Valley to fight back had already penetrated the defense formations on the periphery by Liang Dai, but the formations on both flanks were still intact, and they were all working hard to fight in the middle. Soldiers entangled, annihilated outside Taniguchi.

Before noon, they had an absolute advantage, and their troops were more than twice that of the chasing enemy. No matter how bad it was, more troops could be transferred from the ferry, and there was no possibility of giving the enemy a sharp counterattack. !

Seeing that Liang Dai could still defend his position, Liang Chengyi calmed down a little from the attack just now, reined his horse, and asked Liang Dai with a stern face: "What's the matter, clearly pressing the enemy soldiers in the Au Valley to fight, how can you call one of the enemy soldiers? The counterattack was in chaos? You even told the enemy general to hide an ambush in the woods to the east and failed to detect it. If I hadn’t come here with my troops and just blocked the gap on the right flank, how could you guard your right flank?”

Liang Dai's face is also not good-looking, it is not for Liang Chengyi to question.

No one has a good temper when leading troops to fight. Rebuking and scolding are common on the battlefield. Liang Chengyi's questioning tone is still kind.

Liang Dai drove his horse over and said to Liang Chengyi in a low voice: "This group of enemy soldiers is much more difficult than imagined. I'm afraid it is the elite Henan Army transferred from the north bank by Chen Zhihu..."

"Yesterday, Zhao Kui sent someone in Mengjin to confirm that Chen Zhihu led the main force of the Henan Army to raise ferry boats on the north bank~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Could the elite of the Henan Army fly to Ruyang?" Liang Chengyi asked. Liang Dai lost his courage in the defeat in the river crossing operation last year.

"The one who led the counterattack just now was the general Lu Xiong," Liang Dai said.

"How is it possible that Lu Xiong is by Chen Zhihu's side?" Liang Chengyi shook his head and said, but when he said this, his heart skipped a beat and he led Lu Xiong to Ruyang. Could it be that Chen Zhihu personally led the three thousand chasing the enemy?

Lu Xiong served as Li Zhuo's personal guard, and his name was not well-known during the East Fujian war.

After Li Zhuo's death, Lu Xiong voted for Chen Zhihu, followed by Chen Zhihu to surrender to Yan, and stayed by Chen Zhihu's side as a personal guard.

Chen Zhihu himself is a first-class military general, and he is used to taking the lead. As a personal guard, Lu Xiong has the opportunity to shine.

Lu Xiong was not good at horseback riding. He held an iron-clad long stick and wore iron armor. When fighting, he led a horse for Chen Zhihu, so those who knew him called him "horse-leading general".

In the autumn of last year, Liang Chengyi led his troops to cross the Yellow River and wanted to contain the troops of Yan and Hu in Jinzhong, so as to share the worries of the Cao family. Then, when crossing the river to the north bank, they met with Chen Zhihu's returning troops. In a **** battle, the 20,000 elites who crossed the river with Liang Chengyi were lost, and Liang Chengyi was only spared.

In that battle, Chen Zhihu took the lead and rushed to kill the Hezhong Army generals who were killed under Lu Xiong's iron-clad long stick.

Thinking that this enemy soldier might be the elite led by Chen Zhihu himself, Liang Chengyi felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart, and he still said to Liang Dai in a deep voice: "Don't panic, keep calm, even if Chen Zhihu came in person, what's the big deal?" Rather than comforting Liang Dai, it is better to comfort himself. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
