Chapter 1056 Soldiers Overcome Cangwu
,,,,,,,,,,,,
The back of the Muzhai in Bakou is not made into a wall with soil and wood, but a simple wooden fence. Near the wooden fence are dozens of tents. This is a temporary warehouse for storing grain, covered with huge tarpaulins. Currently, there are still 6,000 stones of grain in these tents.
Not far from the wooden fence, Ren Ping led two Eagle Strike soldiers to wait for the opportunity. They had already heard the sound of the trumpet and the harsh alarm bells ringing, but Ren Ping still endured and continued to wait for the opportunity. At this time, he heard a faint cry of killing in front of him. He knew that the opportunity had come.
There was not a single person in the rear camp. There were about ten soldiers guarding the Muzha. They were all attracted by the war ahead and their attention was on the fighting in front, but they did not notice that countless Han soldiers were approaching quietly behind them.
At this time, a defender turned around accidentally and happened to see a Han soldier dozens of steps away. He shouted "Ah!", jumped up, pointed to the outside of the camp and shouted: "There is an enemy situation!"
As soon as the words were finished, a powerful shot came and hit his throat. The soldiers turned over on their backs, but the other soldiers saw the enemy behind them and shouted in horror.
Ren Ping shouted loudly, "Get in!"
The soldiers of Han soldiers rushed up and pulled down the Yingzha gate. The two of them rushed into Muzhai. Most of the ten soldiers were killed, and the remaining people ran forward desperately.
At this time, the Han army's offensive in front of the village wall was suppressed by the defenders' rolling wood. The rolling wood hit the valley entrance one after another, making it impossible for the Han army to gather and be forced to hide on both sides. At this time, several soldiers of the Han army had been killed and more than ten were injured, but they could not kill within fifty steps.
Yang Jin laughed proudly and said to the soldiers around him: "The Han army is nothing more than that. I thought it was so powerful. As long as they attacked, they would smash it with a rolling wood!"
At this moment, a soldier behind rushed over and shouted: "General, it's not good, there are enemies behind him here!"
Yang Jin was shocked and looked back and saw countless Han soldiers entering the camp and coming towards the wall of the village. He was so scared that his hands trembled, his silver spear landed on the ground, and the soldiers around him were in chaos and at a loss.
Liu Zheng had already been full of worries. It was not that he could not kill, but in order to attract the enemy and create opportunities for Ren Ping's army, he had to passively resist, but countless casualties were injured. At this time, he saw that the walls of the village were in chaos. It was obvious that Ren Ping had entered the enemy camp. He shouted sternly, "Brothers, come in with me!"
Liu Zheng took the lead, holding a shield and a saber to rush towards the Muzhai gate. The Han soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and they all ran bravely. The soldiers burst out with murderous aura and rushed towards the enemy camp. Before they could get close to the enemy camp, the Han soldiers had already opened the gate from inside, and the Han soldiers rushed into the Muzhai like a tide.
.........
Two days later, Wang Ping led 5,000 barbarians to Bakou. At this time, the Jiaozhou military camp was controlled by the Han army's Eagle Strike Army, and the defenders had been completely wiped out, fully realizing the Han army's planned plan. Not only did they seize the food stored in the village, but the enemy did not escape.
The grain in the military camp was replenished in time for Wang Ping's army. At this time, Liu Zheng invited Wang Ping to the tent. Liu Zheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I want to tell the general that a Jiaozhou army is on its way north."
Wang Ping suddenly became interested. For a general, leading his army to travel in the air would definitely be a loss business. Wang Ping was just a supporter of the Eagle Strike Army this time. He was already mentally prepared to travel in the air. Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng told him that there was a battle to fight, which made him full of expectations.
"What's the situation, how many people are there?"
"It should be a reinforcements coming to support Bakou, about 2,000 people, and ten miles away from us. Lao Ren led a dozen brothers to closely monitor the other party."
Wang Ping looked at the map and came from the south. Almost all the mountains, ridges, canyons, and towering ancient trees were conducive to the ambush. Wang Ping asked again: "How many enemy troops escaped when the dam entrance was captured this time."
Liu Zheng smiled, "General, don't worry, this time we are catching turtles in a jar, and none of them escaped, and the enemy will not get any news."
Wang Ping nodded slowly, "Since that's the case, let's do it!"
.........
It is not far from Guangxin County, Cangwu County to Bakou, only more than fifty miles. Except for the canyon in Bakou, the rest of the sections need to turn over and cross the ridges, and the road is difficult, so although the journey is not far, it also takes two days to march.
In addition, the Heshui River flows southward dozens of miles eastward, but the Heshui River flows more rapidly. Most of the banks are cliffs, and the river is covered with large and small sharp stones. If you are not careful, the boat will overturn and people will die. Therefore, pedestrians rarely go to the Heshui River Valley, but rather spend time on this land.
This 2,000-man Jiaozhou Army was led by General Zhang Zhi, a native of Nanhai County, Jiaozhou. He was originally a general of the Shi family. After Liu Bei conquered the Shi family's army, Zhang Zhi also surrendered to Liu Bei and was assigned to Guan Yu's tent.
Zhang Zhi used a sharp two-edged sword, with high martial arts skills and brave combat. Although he could not compare with Guan Ping and Zhou Cang and other confidant generals of Guan Yu, he was also highly valued by Guan Yu, who valued martial arts skills, and appointed him as the left vanguard captain.
This time, Zhang Zhi led 2,000 troops to support Bakou, mainly to cut off the Han army's passage from the south of the land, and to protect the 6,000 stones of grain stored at Bakou.
After leading the army for a day, Zhang Zhi finally arrived at the southern entrance of Bakou Canyon. Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, he ordered a rest on the spot. At the same time, he sent a scout to Bakou to notify Yang Jin.
Compared with Yang Jin's ignorance of the Han army, Zhang Zhi knew the Han army better. He was born in poverty and went to the Central Plains for martial arts in his youth. He even joined Zhang Xiu's Nanyang Army. Because he was brave in fighting, he was promoted to military marquis by Zhang Xiu in less than a month after joining the army. After Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Zhang Zhi returned to Jiaozhou, joined the Jiaozhou Army, and was promoted to the lieutenant step by step, and later surrendered to Liu Bei.
Zhang Zhi received various information from the Han army from many channels. He knew that the Han army was good at fighting, so he was particularly vigilant. Seeing that the mountains on both sides of the canyon were high and dense, and it was easy to hide and ambush, he did not dare to be careless, so he sent a scout to find out the situation first.
More than an hour later, the scout he sent came back to report, "Report to the general, the dam entrance is still calm, with only more than fifty soldiers, led by the military marquis Chen Lin. Chen Lin said that Yang Jin led his brothers to urge grain early in the morning, and the taxes of several farmers were not paid."
Zhang Zhi frowned. Why is it so coincidental? He thought about it and asked again: "How is the grain in the village?"
"Food is very safe, and I have seen it, and there are mountains of grain bags."
Zhang Zhi nodded. Although he had some doubts about Yang Jin not being in the camp, in general, there should be no problem. Seeing that it was almost noon and his brothers had to rush to the camp for dinner, he immediately ordered: "All up and set off!"
The soldiers stood up one after another, patted the snow on their bodies, lined up and marched quickly towards the valley.
The valley is about twelve miles long and can be completed in half an hour. Zhang Zhi rode on the war horse and kept looking up to both sides. The woods on the mountain were covered with snow, and it was still a world of ice and snow. However, the hillside of Xiangyang had begun to melt, showing mottled colors. With Zhang Zhi's eyes, he still could not see any signs of ambush, but he was always a little uneasy.
This uneasiness comes from Guan Yu's instructions to him before he set out, "The Han army is full of tricks and is good at strategy. It is necessary to marche northwards to not be careless. If there are abnormal situations, it is better to withdraw than to be impoverished."
So far, no abnormal situation has been found, and there are no traces of large groups of horses walking in the snow. But he was uneasy and always felt that something would happen. But he could not withdraw his troops because of uneasiness. That was to be afraid of fighting and be punished by severe military regulations, and he could not afford to lose that person.
After about half an hour, they were still two miles away from the Bingzhai. They had already faintly seen the wooden gate of the Bingzhai. At this moment, a whistle shot past their heads, making a sharp sound, echoing in the valley. Then, the sound of clatters on both sides sounded, and arrows in the woods shot at the Jiaozhou soldiers in the valley.
The Jiaozhou army was caught off guard and was shot down by a large area. Zhang Zhi's war horse was also shot by an arrow. He screamed and fell to the ground, throwing Zhang Zhi more than two feet away, and hitting him heavily on a big tree.
The sudden attack caused chaos in the Jiaozhou soldiers. The soldiers lay on the ground to avoid arrows shot from both sides. At this time, drums sounded loudly in the woods, and countless Han soldiers rushed up from the woods, waving spears and swords, and rushed towards the Jiaozhou soldiers. Wang Ping took the lead and swung his sword to take the enemy's chief general.
The army led by Wang Ping is the "Wudang Flying Army" in the Han army, which is composed of barbarian soldiers. They have served in the Han army for many years, are well-trained, brave in combat, and are especially good at mountain combat. They are an elite army in the Han army and have also become one of the teeth soldiers of King Liu Jing of Han.
Five thousand Han troops and the five most elite Eagle Strike Army fought against two thousand Jiaozhou troops. There was no suspense in this ambush. The enemy general Zhang Zhi was captured alive by Wang Ping. After more than seven people were killed or injured, the two thousand Jiaozhou troops also knelt down and surrendered, while the Han army only suffered dozens of casualties.
