Yang Ben asked Duan Xingzhi to lead Gedu into the city, intending to ambush Gedu and his 500 men.
But as Wu Ang expected, there were too many corpses piled up in Guancheng. Gedu had rich combat experience and saw through the ambush at a glance. He left the more than two hundred Dali soldiers who entered Guancheng first and quickly withdrew.
Bao San had no choice but to order to annihilate the two hundred Dali soldiers first, close the door tightly, and guard Longwei Pass.
After failing to annihilate Gedu, they did not dare to escape again.
Both Bao San and Yang Ben had experience fighting against the Mongolian cavalry, and knew that once in the wild, a hundred Mongolian cavalry were fully capable of dragging down more than a thousand troops to death. What's more, this was still within the territory of Dali, and there were defenders everywhere.
On the next day alone, Gedu mobilized the garrison of Longshou Pass and surrounded Longwei Pass.
After that, troops from Zhao Fu, Deng Fu, Bai Yan, Feng Yu, Sheng Xiang, Mou Tong and other cities were all transferred over.
The Mongols do not fight in a slow manner like the Dali people. They rush to deliver orders and do not care about the distance. If the deadline is not met, they will be beheaded immediately.
By May 23, 3,000 troops had gathered at Longweiguan City.
When Li Xia was leading the army, he looked very calm, making circuitous maneuvers as if he were entering an uninhabited territory. Qingfu's army did not feel much danger, and had the illusion that "the enemy is very weak."
They had all heard Li Xia say, "We only have one day." It was only now that they realized what this meant and what it meant to go deep into enemy territory.
In the past, they only had to follow orders strictly. It was very simple. It didn't matter if Bao San was replaced by Yu San, Wu Ang was replaced by Lu Ang, and Yang Ben was replaced by Niu Ben.
Under Li Xia's command, they were more like puppets controlled by strings, and they proudly felt that "fighting is too easy."
But now there is no one to pull the strings on the puppets, they must come to life on their own.
After coming back to life, they have to take responsibility, but their various character flaws naturally begin to show up.
"Straight bitch! Didn't you say that Dali's army was empty? Aren't they all taken to Jiaozhi by Gou A Shu? How come there are so many people?!"
"Oh, no matter how empty Dali's military strength is, how can it still be without garrison troops in every state and city?"
Yang Ben sneered and said: "Therefore, I advised a hundred generals to first annihilate the defenders of Longwei Pass, and then ambush Gedu. If Gedu dies, others will never be able to mobilize so many troops."
Bao San said angrily: "Fart, if I didn't do everything you said, wouldn't it be a fucking failure?"
"That's because you had to wait for Zheng Fuze to become suspicious before taking action in a hurry. One step was wrong and the other was wrong."
"That's enough." Wu Ang said, "I keep saying it over and over again, it's not bad luck."
He was still calm, suppressing his displeasure and said: "Let's talk about how to deal with it now. Can Duan Xingzhi still be used?"
Bao San's single eye lit up. Although he was annoyed by Yang Ben's temper, he still couldn't help but look at him.
Yang Ben did not look at the other two people, but looked at the enemy soldiers outside Guancheng, and muttered: "I'm afraid Gedu already knows that Duan Xingzhi is in our hands. If we want to continue the county captain's plan, we have to pretend to be... just...
With two hundred men, we stormed Longwei Pass and captured Duan Xingzhi."
"Is it possible?" Bao San thought for a while and finally said: "It's just nonsense."
Yang Ben felt his head hurt and said, "Let me think about it again."
After that, he went straight down to the top of the city and went to interrogate the Dali prisoners captured during the ambush of Gedu.
Bao San squinted his one eye and watched Yang Ben walk down the city. He spat and cursed to himself: "It's as if everyone owes him eight hundred coins. This little hozen is really unlucky. I was surprised before, but this Yang Ben clearly has two tricks.
Why doesn’t Xiong Shan use him?”
Wu Ang said: "It is normal for a general's disciple to be arrogant."
"Hey, a disciple of the general?" Bao Sandao said: "Brother Wu, do you know who his ancestor 'Yang Xiangyigong' is?"
"who?"
"Yang Zheng." Bao Sandao said, "When my brother was under the command of Commander Yu, he also heard Commander Yu comment on all the commanders in central Sichuan. The most shameful one was Yang Zheng. Yang Zheng was the former anti-Jin general and the three commanders of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
It is true that he is one of the most powerful people in the government. But although he has many military exploits, his character is extremely poor, he is cruel and shameless, and he kills all living beings."
Wu Ang asked: "How to say?"
"This scandal has been rumored in Shu for decades. One of Yang Zheng's staff members was attending a banquet in his mansion. When he went to urinate, he saw a figure on the wall. The staff member thought it was a mural, but when he looked closer, he realized that it was a mural.
No ink stains can be seen. What do you guess it is?"
"What is it?"
"Yang Zheng had dozens of concubines, all of whom were extremely beautiful. But when he was dissatisfied, he would kill them with a stick, nail the human skin to the wall, wait for the skin to dry, and then throw it into the water. After a long time, the wall
It just left traces of human skin, what a damn dog hozen..."
Wu Ang felt the hairs on his back stand up. He turned his head and looked at Yang Ben, who was walking under Guancheng, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Bao Sandao: "The descendants of the spoiled ones are also showing off in front of me."
Wu Ang thought for a while and said, "Brother, have you seen the scar on Yang Ben's head?"
"Hey, the thieves who stabbed and exiled the army, I don't know what kind of evil crime they have committed." Bao San spat again and said to himself: "A man who is upright and upright would be ashamed to associate with such a beast."
Wu Ang said: "I'm just worried that Yang Ben is so eager to make meritorious deeds that he can coax us into exchanging the lives of our brothers for his merits. The two hundred troops are almost gone."
"He is not the one who pees in a pot. You have to watch out for him."
"But we are all rough people, and he is the only one with an idea. At this juncture, we still have to ask him what his idea is."
"Are you afraid? The county captain will return tomorrow."
Wu Ang turned around and looked at the increasing number of Dali soldiers outside Guancheng. He thought to himself that with so many enemy soldiers surrounding the city, how could the county captain break through?
On May 24, the Mongolian army began to drive the Dali army to attack Longwei Pass.
This day was just a tentative attack. In order to find out the strength of the Song army, we only fought hastily for more than two hours.
Bao San listened to Yang Ben's suggestion and only used 200 men to drive some prisoners to the top of the city.
More than a hundred Dali soldiers were killed by the wood, stone and gold juice, but the Qingfu army also suffered more than 20 casualties under the rain of arrows.
Bao San was heartbroken and secretly regretted that he should not have listened to Yang Ben's advice.
"Brother, there is no need to be like this. What he said does make sense." Wu Ang said: "The Mongolian army attacked the city for the first time just to test it. We really can't reveal all our troops."
"Shacai." Bao San didn't know who he was scolding, "So many brothers have died again, I am suffering to death."
"Brother, don't be anxious, and don't scold Yang Ben too much. Thanks to his arrangement today, we don't know how to arrange the city defense."
Bao San should not.
Wu Ang was treating his wounds and didn't know what to say.
Although Bao San didn't like Yang Ben, he still saved Yang Ben's life despite being injured while guarding the city today.
Of course, they are all straightforward men. Such trivial matters often happen on the battlefield, and there is nothing to say.
Bao San was scalded by Wu Ang's red-hot blood. He groaned and resisted without screaming. In the end, he just sweated profusely and said: "I really don't know what to do. Why don't you think the county captain can't do it?"
return?"
"The county captain may have returned, or he may be thinking of ways to break into the city. It's time for me to talk to my brothers and boost their morale."
"know."
Over there, Xiong Shan led a few people over and said, "I brought an old doctor here to treat my brother's wound, but why did he get burned again?"
"Doctor Feishen, please take it to the seriously injured brothers for treatment first." Bao San snorted, looked up, and asked, "Why haven't you seen this old man before?"
Xiong Shan waved away the surrounding soldiers and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."
"If you fart, let it go. I'm busy."
Xiong Shan saw that there were only Bao San, Wu Ang, and the old doctor at the top of this section of the city, so he said, "This is a Dali man. He used to be in charge of medicinal materials at Longwei Pass. He knows what kind of poison the county captain is poisoned with."
Bao San was surprised and said: "Then why didn't you give the county magistrate treatment earlier?!"
"Oh, I can't explain clearly." Xiong Shan kicked the old doctor and said, "Tell me, tell my brother what you just said to me."
"Yes, yes... the little old man, 'Zhai Chengxuan', turned out to be General Zheng's doctor. He has also saved many people for you righteous men in the past few days. To be honest, I would like to ask you not to kill this little old man."
"Don't talk nonsense. I want to ask you, can you detoxify the poison of curare wood?"
"The poison of this curare tree has almost no cure."
Bao San was furious and cursed: "Straight bitch, you are just a quack doctor who came here to fart at me, get out of here."
Xiong Shan said: "Brother, listen to what he has to say."
"The strong man calms down his anger, but the little old man has good medical skills, let alone others." Zhai Chengxuan said: "But the arrow poison is very poisonous, and those who are hit will die immediately, so there is a saying of 'seven up, eight down, nine down'."
"
"Fart, the county captain is not dead."
Zhai Chengxuan looked embarrassed and murmured: "I didn't die at that time, but I was just afraid... I was just afraid..."
Wu Ang frowned. He knew that the county captain was supposed to come back today. As time passed, someone would inevitably go to inquire about his injuries and ask the doctors whether curare wood could be cured.
If the old doctor Xiong Shan brought here didn't have good news, then he had bad news.
Sure enough, I heard Zhai Chengxuan say: "I'm afraid he's dead now..."
