Chapter one hundred and seventy-one was subdued
Since Liu Zhizu took over Jiezhou, he did not stop much. After the situation in Jiezhou was settled, he left a thousand people to guard Jiezhou. The rest followed him and moved southwest towards his next target Puzhou.
Puzhou City is located at the southern end of Shanxi and on the east bank of the Yellow River. It has a long history of 5,000 years and once flourished for more than 2,000 years. In the Tang Dynasty, it was one of the six great cities and is also called the Tang Dynasty.
The throat of Chang'an.
In the Ming Dynasty, when Puzhou City reached its most glorious, there was a floating bridge in the local area. During the prosperous period, many merchants passed by every day, so it was called the world's number one floating bridge. In later legends, Guo Xiang met Yang Guo
Fenglingdu in the land is in Puzhou.
This time, the Pei family army captured the entire Jiezhou at an extremely slight cost. This battle alone made the soldiers of the Pei family army more confident. They felt that the officers and soldiers were just dry bones in the tombs of native chickens and tiles. As long as our army rushed south,
It's easy to take Puzhou.
This inexplicable confidence also affected Liu Zhizu. Otherwise, Liu Zhizu, who was calm by nature, would not have taken Jiezhou again. After only a day of stay, he would directly attack Puzhou.
At this time, Liu Zhizu believed that Puzhou was very likely to be the same as Jiezhou, with few troops. As long as he marched fast enough and fought slowly with fast speed, he could use lightning speed and no defense to Puzhou.
Take it down and replicate the great victory that he had achieved in Jiezhou. In this way, most of the tasks assigned by Pei Xiaoer to Liu Zhizu have been completed.
Puzhou is a little far from Jiezhou. It was originally a distance of at least two days under normal circumstances. However, in order to pursue suddenness, Liu Zhizu gave up the marching of the Pei family army that it required camping and resting for 40 miles.
The regulations were made that the army was forced to continue moving forward until evening, and when they were unable to see their five fingers, they ordered the army to stop advancing and rest on the site.
It was just too late, so Liu Zhizu naturally could not let the soldiers drag their tired bodies to chop wood to build the barracks. At the same time, he also thought that he would set off urgently tomorrow morning, so he only stayed here for a few hours.
So when the Pei family army was resting, there was no camp built, and the soldiers were resting directly on the muddy land.
That night, as the army continued to travel, especially from Anyi to Jiezhou, and when they set out from Jiezhou, there was almost no delay in the middle. The soldiers had been traveling for nearly three or four days in a row, and their physical strength was exhausted.
In addition, there were not enough warming measures at night, so many soldiers were frost-diseased and had high fevers. Fortunately, no major accident happened last night, and they passed smoothly overnight.
After breakfast in the early morning. Under Liu Changle's urging, he lifted the sick soldiers. The army dragged their tired bodies and continued to move forward in the direction of Puzhou.
As he walked, Liu Zhizu suddenly noticed something strange. He stopped and asked Qin Yuming beside him, and said, "Yu Ming, according to the rules of my Pei family army, how long does the spies have to go every time during the army's travel?
Will you come to report the news?"
"About every half hour, no matter whether there is any abnormality, you need to come and report it. Those who violate the order will be killed." Qin Yuming said.
"How long has it been since our army's spies come to report? Why do I feel that I haven't seen the spies for a long time?"
After hearing what Liu Zhizu said, Qin Yuming suddenly felt a little strange and said seriously: "It seems that he hasn't come to report for two or three hours. Could it be that he encountered some accident on the way? Or is there something else delayed?"
This is impossible. Liu Zhizu cursed in his heart. Except for the spies being caught by others or being killed, it is impossible to risk being beheaded and not report. Thinking of this, Liu Zhizu raised his right hand and shouted loudly.
"Stop and arrange the array on the spot."
Pei family army, who was moving forward at a very fast speed, was a little shocked when they heard Liu Zhizu's orders. However, the good training was revealed to them at this moment. Although they didn't know what happened, Liu Zhizu, as the main general, had ordered the stop to move forward, and the soldiers
They still obeyed Liu Zhizu's orders unconditionally and quickly formed the army.
However, after the army was in line, after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, nothing happened. Although the soldiers were silent, they also looked at Liu Zhizu on the side.
Liu Zhizu frowned at this moment, and his vigilance became louder. As the soldiers' eyes slashed over, the pressure on him doubled. However, the more critical the moment, Liu Zhizu's thoughts became clearer and he had already smelled it.
A dangerous breath that permeates the air.
"The army turns back, the back team turns into the front team, and leave here quickly." Liu Zhizu calmly gave the order. At this moment, he didn't need to explain anything to everyone. He is the main general, and others just need to follow his orders to do it.
.
Sure enough, when the Pei family army turned around and was about to retreat, an army of more than 10,000 people suddenly appeared from behind the hillside on one side, and walked through the road when Liu Zhizu's army came.
Immediately afterwards, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers appeared on the road that the Pei family was about to cross, and rushed towards the Pei family army, which was about to retreat. One of the two armies was chasing and the other was surrounding Liu Zhizu's army.
stand up.
Behind the officers and soldiers who appeared behind, an official dressed in a big red official uniform with a look of surprise appeared slowly behind the army. It was Hong Chengchou, who was sent by Chongzhen to encircle Pei Xiaoer. At this moment, Hong Chengchou looked at him.
Gradually being surrounded, the Pei family army said, "What a pity. The thief army almost walked into our siege, but for some reason they discovered it. The thief leader was extremely vigilant."
"Sir, why bother to speak for the bandits? Maybe the bandits are just lucky. Besides, no matter how vigilant the bandit is, isn't they still trapped? In this world, no matter how cunning the fox is, he is not the opponent of the hunter."
A scholar beside Hong Chengchou was shaking his feather fan and said disdainfully. He didn't know if he was shaking his feather fan in winter, whether it was cold or not.
As the officers and soldiers surrounding the army get closer, it will be blocked in less than a quarter of an hour. By then, with the advantage of the large number of officers and soldiers, the entire Pei family army will be unable to escape and destroy.
destiny.
At this critical moment, Liu Zhizu bit his teeth and ordered: "The whole army abandoned the baggage and turned into a marching ranks. Before the officers and soldiers completely surrounded our army, advance at full speed."
The Pei family army had already wanted to retreat. Seeing Liu Zhizu's order, the army immediately pushed away the vehicles of the army, no longer arranged the square formation, and quickly broke through the road when the officers and soldiers came.
The officers and soldiers took a lot of effort to watch him fly after lying for a long time? How could they watch him fly? The officers and soldiers who surrounded the back road were anxious and immediately accelerated their pace, trying to break through.
The soldiers of the Pei family army who came out were surrounded by the encirclement.
The group of officers and soldiers under Hong Chengchou were called Hong Bings by the rebels. The rebels who fought in Shaanxi jumped up and down, ran away and ran away, without any power to fight back. Naturally, they were also extremely elite soldiers, which were different from the officers and soldiers that the Pei family army had encountered before.
Even Zhang Daojun's family trained at the beginning was inferior to that of many servants.
After the officers and soldiers accelerated, the distance between the two sides was quickly narrowed, and the officers and soldiers were about to chase after them.
"General, please leave, I'll drag the officers and soldiers." A general under Liu Zhizu, who was eager to see the officers and soldiers surrounding him.
Before Liu Zhizu could reply, the general led the headquarters and rushed over to the officers and soldiers, impartially blocking the officers and soldiers.
"Good brother, I'll wait for you to come back in Jiezhou." Liu Zhizu saw that the general had begun to fight with the officers and soldiers, and he didn't care about his sadness. He could not let his brothers' blood be wasted, so he could only shout sadly.
