- Chapter 388: A great victory
Ximen Qing and Wu Song walked out of the valley with great difficulty, then spread their legs and ran toward Xu Ning's camp at a galloping speed. Even with their advanced martial arts skills, the two of them were still exhausted after running wildly for several hours. But seeing the camp right in front of them, the two of them didn't dare to stop and continued running.
In the evening, the two finally rushed back to the camp.
Knowing that Ximen Qing and Wu Song were back, Xu Ning hurriedly greeted them, and then asked with a look of astonishment: "Commander, Erlang, why are you two alone? Where are the other armies?"
Ximen Qing waved his hand and said: "Forget it, get us some water and some food quickly, we are so thirsty!"
Xu Ning was busy asking people to prepare. After the two devoured their food and drinks, they told Xu Ning the news of being trapped.
After listening to Ximen Qing¡¯s story, Xu Ning said: ¡°Commander, shall we set off now?¡±
Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Let's go now! Try to get to the canyon late at night, set up the artillery, and start in the early morning! At that time, the enemy is asleep and is least alert!"
Xu Ning nodded and immediately went down to prepare.
After a while, the army was assembled and headed towards Qingshi Valley.
The army moved forward rapidly and arrived not far from Qingshi Valley at three o'clock in the hour. Immediately, Ximen Qing ordered the soldiers to wrap cloth around the hooves of the war horses, and put a wooden ring in the horse's mouth to prevent the horses from neighing. Then the army quietly approached behind the Liao Kingdom.
Let Xu Ning and the soldiers from the Goukian Gun Battalion hide in the dense forest to rest. Ximen Qing and Wu Song led more than 30 people and drove the artillery down the high hills behind the Liao army.
Standing on the high hill, I saw that the Liao army's military camp was located in front of me. Because it is close to the mouth of the canyon and the terrain is very undulating, the military camps are set up on the flat ground under the mountain peaks, close together and very crowded.
Ximen Qing ordered two artillery pieces to aim at the front and back doors of the Liao army camp, and ordered four artillery pieces to aim at the peak next to the Liao army camp. The last four artillery pieces were aimed at the central military tent of the camp.
We can only arrive in the early morning, then the artillery attacks, and then the soldiers of the Hook and Sickle Gun Battalion attack. After this, the Liao army must be in a panic. When the Liangshan army in the valley gets the news and rushes out, it will definitely make the Liao army in chaos even more panic!
After setting up the artillery, Ximen Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. Ximen Qing said: "If we hadn't saved a hand this time, we would all be in the valley. It seems that we need to be careful in the future. We must not be careless! We can't do it again. An accident like today happened! The reason why I was fooled this time was because of pride! In the future, we must adjust our emotions and not underestimate any enemy!"
Wu Song on the side smiled and said: "Come on, Emperor Yi, who doesn't have a little arrogance? This time is a lesson, just remember it!"
Ximen Qing nodded, then patted Wu Song on the shoulder, and then said: "Let's just lie here and rest for a while! After running for a day, we rushed here again, but we are exhausted! Take a rest quickly , we are still fighting in the early hours of the morning!"
Wu Song nodded and said, "Okay!"
As he said that, he lay down on the grass and fell asleep.
In the early hours of the morning, the sky was dimly lit, the weather was extremely cold, and it seemed like heavy snow was coming. The Liao troops in the Liao camp sat around the fire and toasted their hands. The patrolling soldiers stamped their feet and huffed.
A large fence and antlers have been lined up in front of the entrance of the canyon to prevent Liangshan from storming out of the valley. And there were many soldiers blocking the entrance of the canyon, on guard.
He Chongbao inspected them one by one, then walked towards the Chinese military tent with his hands behind his back. He was going to have a small drink to warm his stomach.
But just then, there was a sudden thunder on the nearby high hill, followed by several more.
He Chongbao was frightened and quickly looked up, and saw several small black spots flying over the high hill and landing towards the camp.
He Chongbao frowned and thought to himself, what is this? Suddenly, he trembled and shouted in horror: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, this is artillery, pay attention, be careful!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, before the Liao soldiers could react, the cannonball had already fallen, directly blowing away the fence at the front door of the general camp, and the two soldiers in front of the door were also splashed with blood and flesh.
Afterwards, the whole camp was in chaos, with wailing sounds.
The first round of attacks has stopped.
Just when He Chongbao breathed a sigh of relief, the second round of attacks began again.
Ten artillery pieces attacked one after another, spraying out shells desperately, blasting the Liao army camp to pieces. He Chongbao also hid aside and did not dare to rush into the camp. He could only watch the camp being in chaos.
At this time, something more terrifying happened.
The mountain peak next to the camp has become extremely fragile due to the shelling, and gravel keeps falling from it. As the last cannonball hit it, there was a loud roar, and a huge rock fell down, directly smashing the three Liao soldiers below into pulp.
More than a hundred artillery shells were poured down, and the entire Liao army suffered heavy casualties. He Chongbao was not in the military camp, so he escaped. However, Yunshan was directly bombarded into a pulp. His younger brother He Chongyang was also bombed off with one arm and one leg, and became a useless person.
After the shells were exhausted, Xu Ning and Wu Song led the Gou Si Gun Battalion to attack.
Although there are not many hook-and-scythe spear battalions, with only 15,000 people, all of them are good players. When they use the hook-and-scythe spear, they specifically attack the enemy's neck, ankles, and wrists. Many Liao soldiers have their hands and feet cut off. Lying on the ground and wailing.
He Chongbao¡¯s eyes were red, and he immediately commanded the army to fight back!
Although the artillery is powerful, its damage is not great. The Liao army only suffered serious casualties of more than 10,000 people. Therefore, the Liao army was able to respond quickly and suppress the Gou Si Gun Battalion. Just when He Chongbao breathed a sigh of relief, Liangshan, who had already been prepared in the canyon, rushed out.
They only paid attention to the army behind them, but they forgot about the Liangshan army in Qingshi Valley!
The soldiers in Liangshan were all well fed and drunk, and they had a lot of resentment hidden in their hearts. It was hard for them to be trapped in the valley by the enemy, waiting to die. Now that they could come out to kill the enemy, they all howled.
Suddenly, the Liao army was caught between front and rear, and the morale of the Liao army was in chaos for a while.
But the Liangshan army became more and more brave as they fought, and the more they killed, the more they became addicted. In the end, the Liao army had to scatter and flee.
After He Chongbao killed a Liangshan soldier, he felt bitter when he saw that all his soldiers had fled. He originally thought that his side was sure of victory, but he didn't expect the ending to be so sad. The 170,000-strong army was defeated and fled by the enemy's 100,000-strong army. How could he have the face to return to Youzhou to meet the Holy Emperor? Might as well die in battle. But seeing his brother seriously injured, he could no longer hold on. He gritted his teeth, got on a horse with He Chongyang in his arms, and then led most of the Liao army to flee.
He Chongbao escaped, but Ximen Qing did not know that he was capturing the fleeing Liao army at this time. When Ximen Qing came to his senses and wanted to look for He Chongbao, he learned that he had escaped.
In the end, Ximen Qing had to give up and ordered the army to increase speed to resolve the battle.
The war didn¡¯t end until noon. Ximen Qing ordered the army to set up camp, and then listened to the casualty report after the formation in the Chinese army camp.
This battle was fought extremely beautifully. With nearly 20,000 casualties, 40,000 Liao troops were killed and more than 50,000 people were surrendered and captured. As for the other Liao troops, they fled.
After listening to the report, Ximen Qing said: "School, please register the names of the soldiers who died. When we return to Liangshan, we must give each family of the sacrificed people a large sum of money as compensation. We must not let their families suffer the oppression of life. These soldiers have served me for Liangshan dedicated their lives, we cannot let their families feel cold, and we cannot let them die with their eyes open and still have to worry about their lives at home!"
Wu Yong nodded and said: "I will order people to do it. Don't worry, commander!" Ximen Qing nodded and said: "That's very good! This battle of Qingshiyu is a great victory, but for us It's a lesson! Don't underestimate the enemy just because he is weak! If we hadn't had artillery in hand this time and made the enemy panic, it would be difficult for us to achieve such a big victory! Even if we can win by then, one hundred thousand troops will not know it yet How much is left!"
"The commander is right!" Many people nodded in unison, feeling deeply.
At this time, Wu Song asked: "Commander, what are we going to do next? Should we go back to Jizhou, or send troops to Youzhou?"
Immediately, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Ximen Qing, with eager expressions on their faces.
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said: "Of course we will continue our efforts to attack Youzhou! But now we are short of men and horses, and we need to supplement them! Qin Ming!"
"Here!" Qin Ming shouted.
Ximen Qingdao: "I order you to take the bodies of the sacrificed brothers and the injured brothers back to Jizhou, bury them properly, arrange them, and then join the army in Yu!"
Qin Ming clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander!"
Ximen Qing said again: "Dai Zong!"
Dai Zong stood up quickly.
Ximen Qing said: "I order you to go to Bazhou quickly, and I order Zhu Dian to take 50,000 troops to Youzhou and join our army!"
Dai Zong got the order and hurriedly retreated.
Ximen Qing looked around at the leaders and said: "Zhang Qing, Li Kui and other leaders have returned to Liangshan. Their soldiers are temporarily led by deputy generals. This time we send troops to Youzhou and must capture it. If we cannot capture Youzhou, we will Brothers, do you have the confidence to not return to Jizhou?"
? ?I will fight to the death to capture Youzhou! "Everyone shouted in unison, with determination on their faces.
Two days later, Ximen Qing led the Liangshan army to a hundred miles away from Youzhou, and joined the assault camp, Yu camp, Xiong camp, and Ci camp led by Zhu Dian.
So far, Ximen Qing has dispatched Leopard Camp, Eagle Camp, Assault Camp, Qinglong Broadsword Camp, Fiery Fire Camp, Hook and Sickle Spear Camp, Elephant Camp, Bear Camp, Wolf Camp, and Thorn Camp to attack an army of 150,000 people in his attack on Youzhou.
??The military horses such as Modao Camp, Mastiff Camp, and Shield Camp are stationed in Tanzhou, Jizhou, and Bazhou.
The Liangshan army was crushing, causing people in Youzhou City to panic. With less than 60,000 troops, how could they withstand Liangshan¡¯s majestic army?
Master Lang had already returned to Yanjing and was in charge, leaving only Wu Yan and He Chongbao to guard him. At this time, they were in the military camp with frowns on their faces.
