Chapter 111 Guyi
The Qinjing Post in Hengchengling is more than 20 miles west of Qinshui County. The cliffs on both sides of the post road are steep, with strange rocks and sparse woods growing among the weeds. Although the mountains on the eastern foot of Taiyue Mountain are majestic and stunning, this post road that goes from Jiangzhou to Qinshui and then goes southeast along the Qinshui River Valley to Zezhou was first built during the Qin State's attack on Han and Zhao period during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It has been repaired many times since dynasties and has become the most core transportation link for the southeast of the river.
Qinjing Post was built at the mouth of the east valley of Hengchengling. The several acres of radius of the post were against the dangerous cliff. In front of the courtyard, there was an ancient well rumored to be dug when the Qin army advanced eastward, so it was named.
At this time, business travelers were forbidden, and the innocence was isolated beside the lonely road, and it seemed even more deserted and lonely.
Qinjing Post was located in a key area and blocked the west wing of Qinshui. Xiao's cadre general Liu Jinzhong led his troops into the Qinshui River Valley to siege Qinshui County. He sent people to defeat more than a dozen postmen and more than a hundred villagers. After that, more than a hundred people were left here to guard.
At this time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom in the mountains and the grass was lush, but the stinking corpses lying on the stream in front of the inn was so unsightly.
The mountain wind blows, and the faint smell of stench makes more than a hundred guards in the inn have an extremely headache.
"Zheng Gouer, who was a dog-like person, caught a few black-faced village girls. He was like a starving ghost who saw a dirty starvation. He was afraid of delaying the delay and could only drink other people's shabu-water. He asked his grandson to throw the body away, but threw it straight into the stream in front. It was only a few days ago, and it smelled like this! Go and call the dog!" A member of the man stood in front of the inn, smelling a foul stench and swearing, and the swearing mission sent someone to call the team responsible for throwing the body to scold him.
"Dada..."
At this time, dozens of armored knights rushed from the valley in the west and stopped their horses until they were in front of the roadblock. The foreign soldiers guarding behind the roadblock were about to come forward to interrogate, but the knights used the whip to slap their heads and whipped them a few times.
Listening to the knights' swearing, Fan General stood in front of the inn without making any sound, but just watched his subordinates remove the roadblock.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
They were surrendered soldiers and generals who were surrendered by Xiao Gan and Li Chulin. When they saw the Chihu tribe attacking, even if they were more domineering, how could they have any intention to fight for?
When the dozen armored knights drove their horses to approach, the general saw clearly the face of the visitor, and suddenly he looked like a cat with only the tail stepped on. He held the sword on his waist and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
The people who came outfits, armor, swords and bows were similar to those of the Red Hu cavalry, and they were all bearded and bearded, with rough and majestic, and there was no flaw in the distance. However, when they got closer, the people who came out looked like the Red Hu cavalry had a flat face and a soft nose bridge? They were clearly dressed by the Han people.
Goodbye, these people rode over and took off the longbow behind them. The fast-moving person had already put his hands on the arrow bag next to the saddle. The general also reacted quickly. Seeing that there was no blocking left and right, he grabbed a thin pawn beside him and suddenly pulled him in front of him as a shield.
At this time, the sound of arrows breaking through the air came. The general of the general struggled regardless of the screams of the small pawns in his hand. With his brute force, he grabbed the back of his neck and belt, and used him to block the densely shot feather arrows and quickly retreated into the inn.
When the guards in the inn heard the generals shouting loudly, several people ran out to find out what happened. Unpredictably, the feather arrows were shot and rushed forward. Three or four people were shot, screaming and retreating back to the yard with the generals.
The general of the Fan suddenly threw the young man who had not died even after more than a dozen arrows in his body, drew his sword and roared: "The enemy attacks, keep the door closed, keep the door closed! Where did these guys get out of this? Wow, it hurts his uncle to death!"
Only then did Fan Jiang notice that he had no idea what was shot by an arrow on his right arm. Although he did not hurt the bones, the cluster of arrows passed through the muscles and bones of his right arm. He just dodged with all his might, but he didn't notice when he was hit by the arrow. Now the door was closed and he used the wooden bolt to kill him. He breathed a little relieved and felt the scorching pain.
Qinshui-Jiangzhou Post Road is a key transportation center in the southeast of the river. Although there is no patrol camp, the usual responsibility for preventing theft was very serious. In addition to stationing small teams of soldiers, several post offices along the road were also built extremely strongly, like a dock.
The generals of the foreigners led their soldiers to the wall to prevent the attack on the enemy from climbing the wall and attacking them. They noticed that there were still people coming out of the mountains to the west. While urging their subordinates to light up the wolf smoke to warn them, they ordered to carry more heavy objects behind the gate to prevent the attack on the enemy from slamming the gate open.
"This general is agile!" Zhou Quan shouted with regret when he actually called the general to escape into the inn, smacked his lips and cried out.
Wang Zhang was quite calm. He did not think that more than a dozen cavalry would go directly to the gate, but instead opened the distance back and shot all the dozen soldiers behind the roadblock.
Zhou Jing led more than a hundred ambush troops to arrive, and straight smoke pillars had already risen in the inn to warn the main force of the enemy in the Qinshui River Valley.
"The enemy general reacted very quickly and could not enter the post station as soon as possible!" Wang Zhang smacked his lips at Zhou Jing.
"Not hindrance!"
Zhou Jing had much more combat experience than Wang Zhang. He could. Whether he could enter the posthouse as soon as possible and defeat the defenders was actually a matter of two things. They could not even place their hopes on the enemy's complete lack of defense.
Their core mission is to prevent the enemy from establishing defenses in the narrow valley and intercept the main troops to enter.
Failure to defeat the defenders at the first time is not a mistake. Now, as long as they are blocked in the inn, they cannot hinder their next combat arrangements.
Zhou Jingxia asked the horse to hold a shield and hold the arrows shot out of the courtyard, dragging the roadblocks on the official road to the front of the post office to block the gate, and first blocked more than a hundred guards inside; at the same time, he used horses to drag some trees that had fallen from the mountains in the distance, further strengthening the blockade of the post office, and sending troops to the east to monitor the movements of the main force of the enemy in the Qinshui River Valley.
…………
…………
The eight hundred elite troops of the Wing Cavalry Camp had to clean up the passages and cover the flanks for the front, middle and rear camps to prevent them from attacking by small groups of enemy cavalry during the night trip. They were scattered everywhere before.
At the beginning of the sun, Xu Huai ordered the troops of the Yiqi Camp to march directly into Taiyue Mountain and rush to Qinjing Post. In the afternoon, he met Zhou Jing and Wang Zhang's sentry horses.
Xu Huai, wearing strong armor, walked to the inn by Xu Wuji, Xu Xin'an, Wang Xian, Wu Chi, Shi Hu, Niu Er and others.
The general situation here is that Zhou Jing has to send someone to report to Xu Huai every once in a while.
It has only been more than an hour since Xu Huai saw that the raid on the postyard was raided. In addition to blocking the doors of the postyard such as the horse and some miscellaneous woods, he also used miscellaneous wood to tie up and nail them up, and made several long rows of fences near the postyard, and deployed bows and crossbowmen behind him to suppress the enemy soldiers in the postyard and dared not to emerge.
After the main force of the Yiqi Camp arrived, he passed by the post road in front of the postyard without any obstacles and entered the low ridge to the east to guard.
"We found two carriage frames from nearby villages. Zhou's army envoys have sent people to the nearby mountains to cut down large trees. At that time, they will drag them over and tie them to the carriage frame and create two simple chariots. The ladders are also being made. At dusk, the preparations for the strong attack should be completed..." Wang Zhang introduced their latest preparations for the strong attack.
"Wang Xian, you take over the follow-up preparations,"
Xu Huai asked Wang Xian to lead a team of men to take over the preparations for besieging the post office and subsequent strong attacks. His current focus is not on this side. The post office can even wait for Ling Jian and Yu Gong to lead the troops of the front camp to attack after they arrive.
Xu Huai looked over at the mountains to the east and asked Zhou Jing.
"How long will it take for enemy reinforcements to come here?"
"We attacked Qinjing Post and caught them off guard and seized them, and could not stop them from lighting a wolf smoke in the posthouse to warn. So we specially let one of their messengers go to Qinshui for rescue. Half an hour ago, about eight hundred cavalry set out from the camp west of Qinshui City. I arranged small groups of soldiers and horses along the way to harass them, and put some roadblocks, and there was no problem to drag them for another hour..."
Zhou Jing said with a frown.
Since we could not achieve complete silence, we deliberately let some enemy soldiers break out of the siege and rush to Qinshui River Valley to call the police, misleading the enemy army that only a hundred people attacked Qinjingyi.
In this way, as long as the enemy troops in Qinshui River Valley were careless, they sent a small number of troops to reinforce, and they would add vegetables.
To put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter if you can’t attack Qinjingyi as soon as possible, but you can use it as bait.
Of course, the enemy troops in the Bishui Valley sent 800 cavalry to reinforce, although it was slightly more than expected, and it was obvious that the enemy's chief general Liu Jinzhong was still quite cautious, but Xiao Gan and Li Chulin and Yu Datong led the cavalry to surrender to the Chihu people. Even if the troops were equal, Zhou Jing did not feel that it could pose much threat to them.
He was a little worried about something else at this time and said to Xu Huai.
"The current problem, if these 800 cavalry were wiped out, I was worried that I would scare away the big fish Liu Jinzhong. After the front camp and the middle camp arrived at Qinjing Post, can we go to Qin County without rest and go to kill overnight?"
Qinshui County was built on the west bank of Qinshui. Xiao's cadre general Liu Jinzhong led 5,000 troops to encircle Qinshui County. The camp was mainly built in the river valley on the west bank of Qinshui.
The Qinshui River flows mainly from north to south in the river between Taiyue Mountains.
As long as the main force of the Tomb Guarding Army can pounce on the edge of the river valley on the west bank of Qinshui overnight, the enemy will not be able to abandon the camp and retreat to the river valley on the east bank of Qinshui.
Of course, the march of the tomb guards day and night, and today they marched against Qinshui and forced them to march. If they don’t take a break, they will rush to the river valley on the west bank of Qinshui to catch the enemy. This is a serious test.
