Chapter 187: Bamboo Farm
Zhang Ling looked at the incomplete corpses on the ground, and his face turned a little distorted due to anger. As soon as the sky was dawn in the morning, some soldiers came to report to him that two teams of patrol soldiers had disappeared and found a lot of blood on their patrol routes. Zhang Ling was shocked after hearing this. On the one hand, he ordered the various departments to check the soldiers to find out if there were any other people missing. On the other hand, he sent more soldiers to explore everywhere to find the traces of the disappearing patrol soldiers.
After about one hour of busyness, thanks to the Yi soldiers' good climbing characteristics, they found several corpses below the cliff that had almost become meat pie. Although the corpses were covered with scars, they could still find that each of them had fatal scars on their necks or abdomen. It was obvious that they pushed off the cliff after being killed.
It was not a big deal for the two armies to fight and kill some patrol soldiers. What really scared Zhang Ling was the next news. The whistleman Li Bin who came to inform the news also disappeared. This shows that he was very likely a spy sent by the bandits. Then, the news he brought was a bit true, which is worth reconsidering.
When he thought of being played around by Li Bin, Zhang Ling's back alveolar felt a little painful. He wanted to catch him and swallow him alive. He stood there, staring at the corpse in front of him motionlessly.
Zhang Ling had a high prestige in the army and was strong in character. His generals always obeyed his orders and did not dare to disobey him at all. At this moment, seeing him standing there motionlessly, all the soldiers around him were silent, and no one dared to disturb him.
At this time, a whistle riding horse ran from a distance. When he saw Zhang Ling, he turned over and dismounted, and knelt down on one knee and said, "The army gate, the young man has already investigated it clearly. Three days ago, the bandits besieged Dachang, and Wan Jianjun personally led his troops to support him. At this time, there was no soldier in the Wushan camp. In addition, the young man met a soldier who escaped from Dachang City. According to him, the soldiers in Dachang City were still holding on until last night."
Zhang Ling's hands trembled and said, "You mean, Dachang City has not fallen yet?"
"It hasn't fallen last night, and I don't know what it is now."
Zhang Ling was silent for a long time, with his eyes wide open, and his eyes were full of sharpness. He shouted in a deep voice: "The whole army turns and rushes to Dachang as fast as possible."
Li Dingguo rode a pure white horse and stood on a high place, smiling at the angry Zhang Ling below. Yao bowed to his hands and shouted loudly: "Deputy General Zhang, if you haven't seen each other for a day, you have arrived in a hurry. Are you thinking about being a little bitch?"
Zhang Ling held a steel gun and shouted loudly: "You little thief, how dare you deceive me. When I catch you, I will not be a human being if I don't twist your head down as a chamber pot."
Li Dingguo laughed loudly, slapped his palm on his neck, and said, "Here is the head, if you want to take it, come over by yourself!"
Zhang Ling waved his right hand and shouted: "Pioneer Camp, come on to me."
Yesterday midnight, Shao Jiechun, who led his troops to stay in the lonely city for three days, finally lost his courage in the face of the peasant army attached to Ruyi. Despite Wan Ji's plea, he led his troops to break out. Wan Ji's lonely army was unable to support him, so he could only retreat with him.
Zhang Xianzhong led his troops into Dachang City, plundered wealthy families, opened warehouses to provide relief to the victims, and his momentum suddenly increased. After receiving the message from Li Dingguo, he took his adopted son Ainengqi as his general and led 5,000 elite soldiers to rushed to Zhujunping in order to block Zhang Ling from Dachang City. At the same time, his chief adopted descendants Ke Wang led 10,000 troops to stay in Dachang City. He led 30,000 elite soldiers and Luo Rucai to pursue Shao Jiechun's defeated soldiers.
Before Zhang Ling led his troops to a clock to Zhujunping, Ainengzhi had just arrived. This short clock also became the key to the final decision of the victory or defeat between the two sides.
The terrain of Zhumuping is wide inside and narrow outside, with a flat land of nearly five miles in radius inside, and the mountains outside are towering, and the terrain is dangerous. After Ainengqi arrived, Li Dingguo began to actively deploy defenses. In one hour, although the defense has not been fully deployed, most of the dangerous lands were firmly controlled by him. He had 5,000 soldiers, while Zhang Ling led only more than 3,000 official troops.
Although his combat power was a bit different, Li Dingguo was 90% sure that he could nail Zhang Ling to death here. At this moment, seeing Zhang Ling attacked, Li Dingguo was not worried at all, but was a little excited.
The first wave of attacking was about 500 people, most of which were Han people. They held shields and armor, and although they were slow to move, they could minimize the damage caused by bows and arrows. They followed closely behind them by more than 100 Yi people. They had no armor and were quick to move. They held bows and arrows and walked along the ridge, trying their best to hide themselves behind the rocks, and walked forward quickly.
Li Dingguo looked at Ainengqi, who nodded and shouted loudly: "Archer is ready to shoot!"
Two hundred powerful bows were pulled together, and the arrows were shot straight down. They had a geographical advantage, and the lethality of falling feather arrows from a high place was far greater than that of the fire guns. These people were first-class archers specially selected by Li Dingguo from the army. In an instant, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were shot to death, and dozens of injured people were injured, and screams filled the entire valley.
The officers and soldiers had a stagnant offensive, but they were all long-term fighters. They knew that in this case, retreating would only suffer greater losses. Only by rushing forward to the bandits as soon as possible and making the opponent's bows and arrows unable to play their advantages can the losses be minimized. After just a moment of pause, they mustered up the courage again and ran forward at a faster speed. The Yi soldiers also began to pull the strings and counterattack, and the "swoosh" sound shuttled up and down the mountains.
"Spit!" Ai Nengqi gave the order and dozens of long spears stabbed out at the same time, stabbing the first group of officers and soldiers who climbed up the dangerous ground to the ground.
Subsequently, the soldiers of the officials and soldiers rushed up regardless of the losses. They grabbed the enemy's gun, slashed with swords, and bravely stepped forward. Both sides fought and fought back and forth in the dangerous pass, and were killed and injured soldiers everywhere. Shouting, roaring, and roaring sounded in the mountain stream.
Zhang Ling turned around in anger and was deceived by a thief. The crime of the fall of Dachang City is probably indispensable. At this moment, he can only rush to rescue as soon as possible to ensure that Governor Shao and Wan Jianjun are not in trouble. Otherwise, he will be unable to redeem his own sins even if he dies.
