Chapter 17 The decisive battle in Fengzhou (1)
Qiuju gave birth to Xiaolu, immersed in happiness all day long, while Fu Ying held her belly like a proud general. Although Chunlan felt so bitter in her heart, she could not tell her.
In order to take care of Xiaolu, Fu Ying specially arranged four maids, but Chunlan hugged Xiaolu the most. Xiaolu often fell asleep and Qiuju was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, so Chunlan left Qiuju's yard. Chunlan grew up with Qiuju since she was a child. She was used to having Qiuju by her side. Now both of them have yards, and Qiuju is accompanied by Xiaolu. Chunlan can only wait until she is sleepy before returning to the yard to sleep.
The weather in early June is neither hot nor hot, and it is the most comfortable time of the year. Chunlan is lying on the bed and sees stars through the window frames. In the quiet night, unknown insects are chirping in the corner.
Chunlan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She smelled Xiaolu on her arm and said to herself: "How great would it be if I had a child like Xiaolu. Alas, I really have no blessings. Fu Ying has it, but I still didn't react at all."
"Alang, do you know when will you come back? Do you know that I want a child of yours?" Chunlan stroked her smooth belly with one hand and shook her wide fan with the other, restless. Chunlan stroked her lower abdomen with her hands. Gradually, Chunlan closed her eyes and thought about every good details of her relationship with Alang, and her body rose with a fiery look. Chunlan rubbed her plump breasts with her hands, and then went down to *. Chunlan imagined Alang's movements and comforted herself. A heat current ran around her whole body. Chunlan bit her pillow in her mouth and shouted over and over in her heart: "Alang, Alang."
Chunlan thought about it day and night, and led her army to the northeast of the mighty city and was confronting the Shu army.
After the Battle of Huangniu Eight Villages, the Shu army changed its commander at the last minute. It turned out that the commander of the Shu army was Zhao Jizha, the envoy of the guest province. Zhao Jili was afraid of the enemy like a tiger. After the Zhou army arrived in Fengxiang, he led the army to stay in Deyang and did not dare to fight with the Zhou army. After Huangniu Eight Villages was captured by the Zhou army, Zhao Jili actually left the army and fled back to Chengdu Prefecture with a dozen personal guards. After Zhao Jili returned to Chengdu Prefecture, he actually put all the blame on Zhang Cun, the guard general of Huangniu Village, saying that Zhang Cun surrendered to the enemy at the last minute, which caused today's defeat. The Shu leader Meng Chang was furious and beheaded Zhao Jili, but did not attack his tribe. Because he hated Zhang Cun, he killed all the men in his clan, regardless of age, and all the women in his clan were official slaves.
Subsequently, the soldiers of the Shu army were captured by Huangniu Bazhai and were successively released, among which there were soldiers who were injured and undead in Huangniu Bazhai. The injustice of the Shu general Zhang Cun was revealed to the world. However, the Zhang Cun family was too unfair and miserable, and no one dared to tell the truth about Meng Chang, the Lord of Shu, for fear of being bad. Until the demise of Western Shu, the women in the Zhang Cun family were still serving as official slaves and were not liberated. This incident left a bad influence in the Shu army and seriously affected the morale of the Shu army. In the subsequent series of battles, the escape at the time of battle became a common thing in the Shu army, and became a military factor in the demise of Western Shu.
The Shu lord Meng Chang urgently ordered Li Tinggui, the commander of the Saint Controlling Crane, to be the commander of the North Road Xingying, Gao Yanqi, the commander of the Saint Infantry Army of the Left Guard, to be the commander of the recruitment envoy, Zhao Chongtao, the commander of the Guest Province, to be the chief supervisor, and led a large army to rescue the four prefectures.
On the morning of the fifth day of June, the Zhou army and the Shu army collided head-on on the east side of the Weiwu City.
Wang Jing ordered Hou Dayong to lead the Hei Diao Army to the right, Xiang Xunshi's commander of the imperial guards to the left, and he took his own army to the central army.
Li Tinggui, the chief general of the Shu army, carefully observed the Zhou army camp and saw that the Black Eagle Army had many cavalry and strict formations. He said to the deputy general Gao Yanqiu: "The Zhou army has a lot of cavalry, neat formation and well-equipped cavalry, and is the most elite unit among the three armies. It must be the newly dug of the Black Eagle Army in the Zhou army. The central army is Wang Jing'er's team, and it is not easy to deal with. Our army can attack the left army of the Zhou army with all its strength."
Gao Yanqi nodded, took a knife and went forward, and ordered: "Flying Dragon Army obeyed the order and attacked the left army of Zhou, and the rest of the army held back."
The Shu general Li Jin was known as the Feilong of the Shu army and was extremely brave. The army led by Li Jin was named after his nickname. After Li Jin got the order, he raised a spear and led 500 Shu army elite cavalry and 1,500 infantry soldiers to fight towards the imperial guards.
The Shu army took the lead in attack, and the war drums of the Zhou army also sounded immediately. Xiang Xun waved his hand, and the formation commander Hu Li and the captain Zhao Wu each led a thousand imperial guards to rush out of the formation. The guards were the main army of the Zhou army. Although the number of war horses was not as large as the Black Eagle Army, it accounted for half. Hu Li led the infantry, and Zhao Wu led the cavalry.
The Shu army's cavalry were well-trained, and although there were not many people, they could shoot arrows on the rushing horse. After each of the Shu army's soldiers shot an arrow, they met with the cavalry led by Zhao Wu.
The Flying Dragon Army of the Shu army all held long spears, while the cavalry led by Zhao Wu all held long swords. The long spears were conducive to assassination, and the long swords were conducive to slashing. At the beginning of the battle between the cavalry of the two sides, the Flying Dragon Spear of the Shu army showed the power of the long spear, like a forest spear, stabbed the guards in front of him into blood holes. After the Zhou army and the Shu army were mixed together, the Zhou army's long sword exerted its power. When the long sword arrived, the Shu army's blood splattered.
Zhao Wuge opened a spear, took advantage of the opportunity of the war horses being in conflict, and took the knife to cut down a Shu army soldier's left arm. Another Shu soldier stabbed Zhao Wu's back. Zhao Wu turned sideways, avoided the spear, grabbed the stabbed spear with his left hand, swung the sword with his right hand, and the Shu soldiers' heads and necks separated, and blood squirted wildly.
Li Jin stabbed several Zhou soldiers to death one after another. Seeing Zhou general Zhao Wuyun's sword flying, several Shu soldiers died. Li Jin shouted: "Captain Zhou should not be rampant." He pushed his gun straight to Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu also rushed towards Li Jin. When the two horses intersected, Zhao Wu's long sword slashed Li Jin's spear, and the swords and guns intersected, making a loud "bang". Li Jin's spear was like lightning, and the gun was at its last. Zhao Wu was skilled in swordsmanship. The two of them had more than ten moves, but they did not decide the winner. After more than ten moves, Li Jin's spear skills changed, and it was a desperate move. Zhao Wu became more and more fighting, so he made up his mind to retreat. Zhao Wu used retreat as a step forward, slashed a few times, slightly blocking Li Jin's attack, turned his horse's head and ran back.
The Zhou army had more cavalry than the Shu army, and it was already gradually gaining the upper hand. After Li Jin retreated, he chased Zhao Wu closely. Li Jin's personal soldiers shouted: "General Zhou was defeated, General Zhou was defeated." The morale of the Shu army was greatly boosted. Seeing that the main general was defeated, the Zhou army soldiers had no intention of fighting and were chased by the Shu army and retreated.
The retreating Zhou cavalry disrupted the infantry's formation, and the Shu cavalry rushed into the Zhou infantry with the defeated army. The infantry led by Hu Li held a bow and arrow. Before the arrow was sent out, the Shu army had already arrived in front of him and quickly threw away the bow and arrow and raised the sword. In the short time of changing weapons, many Zhou infantry had been stabbed by the Shu army's spear.
The formation commander Hu Li and more than a dozen personal guards rode war horses and were surrounded by Shu cavalry. Hu Li was a brave general of the Guards Division. He had been through the battle formation for a long time and used a long sword to fight seven or eight Shu soldiers alone, but he was not at a disadvantage.
A Shu army stabbed with a fierce shot. Hu Li used a Park knife to slash the throat of the Shu soldiers with a backhand. The Shu soldiers fell to the ground with a spear, covering their throats tightly, but couldn't scream, staring at their eyes, falling from the horse unwillingly. The other Shu soldiers were red and stabbed with their guns, and Hu Li was beheaded two of them.
Hu Li was about to break out of the siege, and suddenly heard a "bang" sound, an iron arrow pounced on Hu Li like a meteor, hitting his right shoulder. After Li Jin shot an arrow, he immediately took the gun and rushed straight to Hu Li. Hu Li was seriously injured on his right shoulder and could not use force with his right hand. He only held the Park Knife with his left hand to fight with Li Jin. After a few moves, he was shot in the abdomen again. Hu Li knew that he could not escape his life, so he threw Park Knife at Li Jin, then pulled out his waist knife and prepared to kiss himself. Unexpectedly, before the waist knife was raised, Li Jin's spear came again and stabbed him hard on his left shoulder. Li Jin lifted the spear hard, and Hu Li was picked up by the spear and fell to the ground, held down by the Shu army, and captured alive.
When Xiang Xun saw Hu Li being caught, his eyes were full of fire, and he held the long sword tightly. He was about to lead the soldiers of the Guards to charge again, but the central army received an order to withdraw the troops. Xiang Xun was helpless and ordered the Guards to give up a passage to allow the retreating soldiers to pass through, so as to prevent the formation from being chasing by the defeated army. At the same time, he ordered the crossbowmen to prepare and wait for the Shu army to enter the archery route.
After Li Jin assassinated another Zhou army, he was so angry that he was killed, and the central tent of the Shu army also received an order to withdraw troops.
