The five hundred cavalry army in Qinzhou led by Yang Jinyong, led by the Uighur cavalry, were chased by the Uighur cavalry and fled to the mountains outside Qinzhou City, with only more than 200 people left. The Fengxiang Jiedushi Wang Jingzhijun advocated the word "kill". His military law was extremely strict. If this man escaped from Qinzhou privately, according to his rules, the entire team would be executed. Therefore, the more than 200 cavalry army in Qinzhou could not return to Qinzhou and did not dare to go to other places, so they had to hide in the mountains and wait for an opportunity to move.
In the mountains, the Qinzhou horse army lived a difficult life.
First, like the Uighur army, the defeated army entered the mountains in panic and carried only a meal of food. So the Qinzhou horse army kept wandering around the mountains, doing black and black eating. The so-called black eating black eating means that the Uighurs robbed grain in villages in various places, and they set up an ambush and robbed the Uighurs' food. The Qinzhou horse army was a local snake, familiar with the terrain, and successfully robbed several Uighur grain transport teams. When they grabbed the food, they finally avenged the brothers who died in the battle. After the Uighurs suffered several losses, the grain robbery team increased their strength and strengthened their defense, making it difficult for the Qinzhou horse army to make a living.
Second, there are many wounded people in the Qinzhou Ma Army, who have not received any treatment for slander in the mountains. Several of the wounded people who were not in danger of life have died.
After Yang Jinyong sent someone to deliver a letter to Fengxiang Mansion, he sent someone to lurk on the only way for Fengxiang Army and the Black Diao Army to rush to rescue, waiting for reinforcements every day. The distance between Fengxiang Mansion and Qinzhou is basically the same as between Fengzhou and Qinzhou. The Fengxiang Army set out one day before the Black Diao Army. However, most of the Fengxiang Army is infantry, and the main forces of the Black Diao Army are cavalry. The marching speed is extremely fast and there is no delay. They actually arrive in Qinzhou first than the main forces of Fengxiang Army.
The Black Eagle Army met the Qinzhou horse army's supporter at the Wild Renling. According to the pre-determined plan, Guo Jiong ordered the stop to advance and build defensive fortifications in the Wild Renling.
After Yang Jinyong received the news that the Black Eagle Army was stationed in Yeren Ridge, he immediately took all the horse troops to Yeren Ridge and met with the Black Eagle Army. After the meeting, Han Qi immediately treated the wounded Qinzhou Army. The Qinzhou Army was so nervous that the hearts of the Qinzhou Army were relaxed. The entire army ate the simple dry food prepared by the Black Eagle Army, which was as delicious as a fat sheep.
Yang Jinyong burped and reported in detail everything he knew.
When he heard that the Uighur army surrounded Qinzhou without attacking but sent troops to grab grain everywhere, Qian Xiangnan's eyes lit up and said, "As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will go first. The Uighurs were trapped in Qinzhou for only two or three days and searched for grain everywhere. It seems that the Uighurs were extremely inadequate in preparation. The Uighur army hastily besieged Qinzhou, which is inconsistent with common sense. If we estimate it correctly, the Uighurs should have had civil strife. From a geographical point of view, it is very likely that Lanzhou would not be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would not spit out a few degrees of troops."
When Yang Jinyong heard Qian Xiangnan say this, he also said: "The Uighurs are all cavalry, basically no baggage, and there are lion patterns floating on the flag."
At this time, the situation became clearer. Hou Dayong said: "It makes sense to observe the judge. The Uighurs did not attack Qinzhou, but just robbed grain everywhere, which means they had no rear fighting and were extremely short of food. Food, and food was the weakness of the Uighur cavalry."
"Commander Yang, which path is the most likely path for the Uighurs' grain grabbing team?"
"The villages to the west have been snatched by the Uighurs, and there are two or three villages in the southeast. According to the Uighurs' customs in the past few days, it is estimated that the Uighurs will go to these two villages to sweep this morning."
Hou Dayong pointed to the map and said, "Look, Cliff Ridge is a must-pass place to the southeast direction, and the terrain is dangerous. Last time we were going to fight the ambush of the Shu army here, but by chance, I failed. This time, the Uighurs will pay the price at Cliff Ridge."
Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang, as vanguards, went to Wild Ren Ridge first than the main force of the Black Eagle Army. After a while, they received an order to go to the Cliff Ridge to reconnaissance.
When the messenger arrived at the forefront camp, Zhou Qing was comfortably fertilizing the green grass and trees behind the stone. Wu Jiaqiang took the order and shouted to the back of the stone: "The urgent order has arrived."
Zhou Qing squatted for a long time, his feet were a little numb. He reached out to touch his arms, but it was empty and said to himself: "Oh no." It turned out that he forgot to bring toilet paper. Zhou Qing shouted: "Wu Erlang, bring me some toilet paper."
"Just use branches."
“No branches.”
"Then use grass leaves."
"Stop talking, hand me one quickly."
Wu Jiaqiang and Zhou Qing are old friends and have a very close relationship. In the past six months, Wu Jiaqiang discovered that Zhou Qing had developed a bad habit, which was to use toilet paper afterwards. For this reason, Wu Jiaqiang laughed at Zhou Qing many times. Zhou Qing never tires about the beauty of toilet paper, and advised Wu Jiaqiang to use toilet paper instead and join the toilet paper clan as soon as possible.
Wu Jiaqiang is a nostalgic person. He has an excellent toilet chip that has been used for many years. It is polished very smoothly. It is like a dagger. After each use, he always washes the toilet chip with water, inserts it in the shell, and hangs it on his waist. With such excellent toilet equipment, Wu Jiaqiang certainly doesn't want to be on the same level as Zhou Qing. He insists that Qingshan will not relax and insists on not using toilet paper.
Wu Jiaqiang said: "You are a person who has a problem. Since you were young, you have never seen you use toilet paper. You have lived a good life. Now you have to use toilet paper. What should you do if you go out to perform a mission if you don't have toilet paper?" Having said that, Wu Jiaqiang asked for a toilet paper from a soldier with the same hobby as Zhou Qing and sent it to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing walked out from behind the stone and cursed: "Wu Erlang, I want to find an opportunity to throw away your smelly toilet chip, so that you can enjoy the beauty of using toilet paper."
Neither of them expected that Wu Jiaqiang's toilet bowl saved Wu Jiaqiang's life at a critical moment and made great contributions. This toilet bowl changed the fate of smelling odor every day and became a divine object to enjoy offerings. This matter started from this reconnaissance activity.
Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang led the Lion Camp to reconnaissance cavalry and soon arrived at the Cliff Ridge. The Cliff Ridge is a dangerous place. The soldiers of the Lion Camp reconnaissance again many times. Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang both visited this place and had also drawn more detailed topographic maps.
During this trip to Cliff Ridge, Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang's responsibility was to check whether there were any abnormal situations again before the main force of the Black Eagle Army arrived. For the Lion Camp, this was a simple task. Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang also thought so. However, the Lion Camp's reconnaissance cavalry was well trained and disciplined. Although they were facing a simple task, they still carefully entered the search area.
Cliff Ridge is a good place to ambush. The two mountains on the left and right hold a river valley that is only 50 meters wide and about one mile long. Cliff Ridge is not a major transportation route. Only the people from several villages have to pass through this place when they enter Qinzhou City.
Zhou Qing, Wu Jiaqiang took the lion camp scout cavalry to the cliff ridge, and first walked around the bottom of the valley, but found nothing. Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang made several gestures. This was the game they often played "big insects, small insects, roosters and wooden sticks". This game was taught by Hou Dayong to his personal guards, and then quickly became popular in the Black Eagle Army. Wu Jiaqiang made a wooden stick, Zhou Qing made a small insect, Wu Jiaqiang lost, jumped off his horse, and led ten people to search for the mountain, and Zhou Qing was responsible for alerting at the bottom of the valley.
The mountain peak was not high, only a hundred meters away. Wu Jiaqiang led ten lion camp soldiers, holding waist knives, and groped in a formation. He first went to Zuofeng. Everything was normal at Zuofeng and there was nothing suspicious about it.
"What a simple task. After completing the task, you have to have a good sleep when you go home." Wu Jiaqiang stood on the top of the mountain. Although the mountain wind passed by, his nose and cheeks were blown red, but he was looking down at the bottom of the valley. The feeling of Wu Jiaqiang was in a very good mood.
Wu Jiaqiang stepped down from Zuo Feng and played with Zhou Qing again. Wu Jiaqiang was really lucky and lost to Zhou Qing again. Wu Jiaqiang accepted the gambling and replaced him with another fire soldier, preparing to search for Youfeng. Climbing halfway up the mountain, Wu Jiaqiang stepped on the air, and his right foot was sprained, and he sat on the ground in pain. A soldier beside him came to check the situation when he saw Wu Jiaqiang sitting on the ground.
Wu Jiaqiang grinned and said, "I handed over toilet paper to Zhou Lang this morning, so I was unlucky. When I have a task in the future, don't hand over toilet paper to others. This is a lesson."
Wu Jiaqiang was muttering to the sergeant, and suddenly a few screams came from beside him, and then a "ping-ping-pong" fight sounded.
Wu Jiaqiang's hair stood upside down, and immediately realized that there was an enemy situation and his feet no longer hurt. He jumped up immediately. As soon as he stood up, a gust of sword wind blew into his face. Wu Jiaqiang reacted very quickly and flashed to the left. A scimitar passed by Wu Jiaqiang's face with murderous aura. Wu Jiaqiang felt that the blade had shaved off his eyebrows.
A tall Hu man jumped out of the hillside and greeted Wu Jiaqiang's vital points. After a few slashes, Wu Jiaqiang's legs were bleeding.
The Hu people who attacked were Uighurs' reconnaissance cavalry. After several nearby villages were robbed by Uighurs' soldiers, the scope of Uighurs' activities gradually expanded. Today, the Uighurs' army was preparing to rob several villages southeast of Qinzhou through the cliff ridge. In order to prevent the Zhou army from ambushing, the Uighurs also sent reconnaissance cavalry before the grain robbery set off.
There were more than 20 Uighurs' reconnaissance cavalry. After they reached the bottom of the valley, ten people went up the mountain to check, leaving ten people to guard the mountain. As soon as these ten Uighurs went up the mountain, they saw the Black Eagle Army cavalry reaching the entrance of the valley. The Uighurs on the mountain had no time to go down the mountain. They used their flags to inform the reconnaissance cavalry at the foot of the mountain. After seeing the flag words, the Uighurs' reconnaissance cavalry at the foot of the mountain knew that the enemy's troops were powerful and quickly rushed to the bottom of the valley.
The Uighurs' reconnaissance cavalry on the mountain were scattered behind obstacles such as rocks and bushes, closely watching the movements of the cavalry. When Wu Jiaqiang led the reconnaissance cavalry to climb up the mountain, the Uighurs' reconnaissance cavalry could not hide, so he took action first and launched a sudden attack. The number of Uighurs and the reconnaissance cavalry cavalry was equal. When the Uighurs attacked, two soldiers in the Lion Camp died in a blink of an eye and several were injured. The situation was quite unfavorable.
The Wu family has been through a long battle formation. Although he was injured after the attack, he used his waist knife to slash against the Uighurs. The Uighurs did not expect that the person who came was so brave, and even stepped on a knife. The Wu family kept retreating, and suddenly stepped on a soft stone, and fell backwards. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the Uighurs held a scimitar high and slashed down with all their strength, intending to cut the Wu family under the knife with one knife, but the heavens were not as good as the humans. The Uighurs did not notice that there was a tree branch in front of them stretching in mid-air. This knife was raised too high and too hard, and it was cut into the tree branch. The Uighurs tried to pull out the scimitar from the tree branch, but the knife seemed to take root on the tree, without moving at all.
Wu Jiaqiang took this opportunity to gain a foothold and slashed at the Uighurs with a fierce sword. The Uighurs had extremely rich fighting experience. They let go of the scimitar cut on the tree, and instead of retreating, they rushed to Wu Jiaqiang's arms as fast as possible, hugging Wu Jiaqiang tightly. The two of them wrestled and fell to the ground, and the waist knife in Wu Jiaqiang's hand was also thrown away.
After the Wu family was stabbed with a knife, the blood flowed continuously. After a long-distance raid overnight, their strength gradually became insufficient. They were strangled by the Uighurs and pressed on the ground. The Uighurs were very young, with fair skin, high nose bridge, and staring at their brown eyes, trying to kill the Wu family.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a short while, but Wu Jiaqiang felt that this moment was so long, and the Uighurs were spinning in their minds. In a daze, Wu Jiaqiang accidentally touched the toilet chip with his right hand. Of course, at this time, he had no idea that it was a toilet chip, just like a drowning man grabbed the straw, pulled out the toilet chip, and stabbed the Uighurs' fierce brown eyes hard.
After thousands of times of practice, the toilet chips had already gained spiritual energy and accurately pierced into the beautiful eyes of the Uighurs. With a scream, the young Uighurs rolled on the ground with his eyes covered.
At this time, the reinforcements of the Lion Battalion had already gone up the mountain and rescued the four soldiers who were still fighting bloody. The Uighurs were extremely brave. Except for the Uighur whose eyes were pierced, the rest of the people were all killed in battle. As the leader of the team, Zhou Qing did not follow the mountain, but took more than a dozen riders and quickly searched the bottom of the valley again. A rider found a little fresh horse manure in an inconspicuous grass. Zhou Qing poked the horse manure with a small stick like he looked at an antique. After careful observation, he said: "This is left by the Uighur cavalry. It seems that the Uighur cavalry is one step ahead of us."
After Zhou Qing and his cavalry searched the valley, they returned to their original place. The battle on the mountain had ended. Wu Jiaqiang had a pale face and there were still a circle of black marks on his neck.
Zhou Qing and Wu Jiaqiang soon returned to the Heiyu Army Camp and reported in detail about the situation of encountering Uighur reconnaissance cavalry.
When Qian Xiangnan heard that he found horse manure, he interrupted Zhou Qing and asked, "Is it fresh horse manure?"
"The horse manure is very fresh, probably less than an hour, but it's rare. I guess the Uighurs are just scouts like us."
Qian Xiangnandao: "In this way, the Uighurs and Uighur cavalry on the mountain are both scouts. They just like you, leaving some people to guard the valley, while others go up the mountain to check the situation."
Zhou Qing thought for a while and nodded, "I think that's the case."
Guo Jiong said: "The Uighurs can definitely judge our intentions. It seems that we cannot set up ambush at the cliff ridge."
Qian Xiangnan did not agree with Guo Jiong's statement and shook his head and said, "The Uighurs lack food and are not durable for long-term wars. Even if the Uighurs discover our intention, they still have to look for food, otherwise what will the Uighur army eat?"
After the Battle of Zhangjiaguan, Guo Jiong had a natural fear of sticking to his position. He said: "The Black Eagle Army is good at fighting in the field and defending the cliff ridge. Let the Black Dragon Army or the Fuhu Army work."
Qian Xiangnan smiled and said, "The Black Dragon Army and the Fuhu Army may not be able to come tomorrow. Today, the cliff ridge must be blocked, otherwise, there will be some people in several villages that will be unlucky."
Hou Dayong sat in the camp, playing with the dagger that he had taken back from Zhao Wu, and used a dagger to cut a wooden stick. The wooden stick was easily cut into thin slices under the sharp dagger, just like tofu. When the wooden stick was very sharp, Hou Dayong drew a few strokes underground with the wooden stick and said, "It is obviously not a wise move for the Uighurs to besiege Qinzhou. We usually have too little knowledge of the Uighurs, and we cannot understand the purpose of the Uighurs, and we cannot prepare to judge the actions of the Uighurs. However, from the current situation, what I worry most is not that the Uighurs attacked Qinzhou, but that the Uighurs suddenly flew into Zhuoni and Ruoergai area, which was the territory of Dawagong, a Tubo native in Hunmo. Although Dawagong had our support and slowly gathered some troops, compared with the Uighurs, the personnel and troops were at an absolute disadvantage and could not resist the attack of the Uighurs."
Hou Dayong threw the wooden stick into the ground and said, "If the Uighurs occupy Zhuoni and other places, it will bring endless trouble to the Black Eagle Army. The Wild Man Ridge is a must-pass place from Qinzhou to the Three Prefectures, but you can not go this way when Zhuoni. The Black Eagle Army should now move to the south bank of the Wei River to block the Uighurs' route to the south. There is no need to send too many troops to defend the Cliff Ridge, so let the company that the Lion Camp participated in the drill and the Qinzhou horse army guard the Cliff Ridge."
Qian Xiangnan did not expect this floor. After hearing what Hou Dayong said, he carefully looked at the map. The more he thought about it, he became more and more shocked. He said with sincerity: "The governor is far-sighted, and we will never wait."
After the Black Eagle Army arrived in Qinzhou, except for the conflict between the Uighurs and the Uighurs at the Cliff Ridge, no battle was fought, and the Xiong Camp was left to guard the Wild Ren Ridge. Part of the Lion Camp and the Qinzhou Horse Army guarded the Cliff Ridge. The main force of the Black Eagle Army quickly moved southwest, gathered on the south bank of the Wei River, blocking the Uighurs' way southward.
When the Black Eagle Army moved south, Wang Jing, the governor of Fengxiang, personally led 10,000 horse and infantry troops to Qinzhou and stationed in the east of Qinzhou. When the governor of the Black Eagle Army moved south, he could only smile bitterly and said to the secretary Wang Ling: "The governor of Xiongsheng Army always unexpectedly did things. During the battle of Fengzhou, he was still under my control, but he took action first and then reported several times. Although the results of the battle were good, it still made people feel a headache when they remembered. Now that he was not under my control, we cannot judge his wild moves."
Wang Jing led his troops very strictly. Under his command, the generals under his command did not have much say. Wang Ling, the chief secretary, was the nephew of the governor Wang Jing. He was very popular with Wang Jing, and he spoke boldly, saying: "The Black Eagle Army reacted very quickly, and it can be said that it was the first to act in the later stage. This shows that General Hou was sincerely coming to rescue the emergency and gathered in the Wei River. I guess General Hou did not want the Uighurs to go south to the three states, wanting to block the Uighurs and fight decisively in Qinzhou."
Wang Jing sighed: "Where the army arrives, the creatures are tragic, and the Black Eagle Army is responsible for defending the territory. It is understandable that Wang Lang is right, and the Black Eagle Army is also a righteous move. In any case, I should thank Hou Dayong."
