Across from the pine forest slope, the forest fire was still burning, and the billowing black smoke was very scary, like an evil black dragon in the sky. But the fire should not reach Sajinba, as the vegetation here was very sparse.
The government troops were attacking from the large gap south of Sajinba. Countless government troops, infantry and cavalry, advanced from the west of the gap to the east, then turned northeast and attacked the Han army along the wide and flat terrain.
The enemy did not go straight to the northeast and Liu Dagen's side outside the gap because there was a steep slope here. If the troops climbed up from here, how could they fight when they were almost exhausted?
Liu Dagen's Yin Desheng detachment marched up this large slope. They went straight down and faced the front flank of the government troops' attacking troops.
It was not tiring to walk downhill, but the artillery fire just now was too frequent. Liu Dagen held the woode
The smoke from burning pine branches and exploding gunpowder in the distance was carried to the sky above Sajin Dam in the breeze, like a slowly drifting mist.The sound of people and horses neighing seemed to echo in the sky. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse to the south of Sajinba, watching the scene in the distance. Other people riding horses beside him included Qu Neng, Wei Da, Liu Ying, and Hou Hai. Other large groups of people and horses stood on the ground, holding the reins of their war horses in their hands, waiting quietly."We will win..." A faint shout came from the wind.But just as there is no guaranteed win in a casino, there is no guaranteed win in a war. If there was, it would definitely not be like this, because Xue Lu could have chosen not to fight this battle in the first place.It's like buying a lottery ticket. Even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, some people have won. So until the last moment of the battle, neither Zhu Ga
Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to evacuate Nanhuokou, and the infantry also escorted the prisoners and took away the wounded soldiers from both sides and retreated one mile one by one. The fighting subsided a little.The hazy sun was already in the west. The civil and military officials of Shengjin Temple sent people to the back mountain to ask the baggage team to deliver food. Under the arrangement of the central army, the baggage soldiers and servants came down in an orderly manner with food boxes and water buckets. Each hundred-household team had about eight or nine to more than ten miscellaneous soldiers, waiting on the soldiers of each team.Zhu Gaoxu and his generals sat cross-legged beside their war horses, eating the same thing: a ball of rice on a cabbage leaf, with a few pickles and a small piece of boiled Sichuan bacon on top; the soldiers took out spoons from their waist pockets, wiped them clean and ate, and everyone carried a lot of small tools, such as k
At the hour of You, on the curved slope west of Sajin Dam, a crowd of people rolled out from the embankment like an endless flood. The last rays of the setting sun shone on countless helmets and weapons, shining like the ripples on the sea.The drums of war were beating, and the movement of tens of thousands of people was a rumbling sound. The shouting waves rose and fell repeatedly like waves in the river, hitting the vast mountains and rivers. The wild grass and fruit trees on the big slope were being swallowed up little by little by the sea of people.The large formation of the government troops in the distance was also slowly receding, and was about two miles away. Only half of the setting sun was above the horizon, and the ground was in a contrast of light and dark, with shadows already appearing in places blocked by hills.The scene on earth was like a terrifying landslide, slow but difficult to change and resist.Countless arrays advanced togeth
The setting sun had already fallen into the western plains, and the bright moon had risen above the Longquan Mountains. The sky and the earth were hazy, and the white linen on the helmets of the Han army soldiers undulated in pieces, like snowflakes falling on the sea.In the dim and pale light, a large ball of fire would occasionally burst out from the front, and with a "boom", it was the sound of artillery fire. The rows of muskets flashed, and in an instant they were brighter than the stars in the sky.Many pine branch torches were lit one after another on the large formations on both sides; shouts and footsteps were heard everywhere, and the wilderness was still extremely noisy in the evening.The light at this time is not as bright as during the day, and it is difficult to see things a little further away, and the scenery becomes hazy; but people can still see the nearby scenery with the afterglow of the evening and the moonlight in the sky. There is a
Countless torches lit up the night sky with extraordinary splendor, cheers echoed throughout the fields, and the passion for victory burned in the crowd.Such a scene and atmosphere seemed as if the war was over and everything people wanted was within reach. Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed a hint of relaxation and fatigue under the light of the torch.As he rode his horse, wherever he went, the cheers of the soldiers suddenly became louder. "King of Han! King of Han..." The shouts came one after another.At this time, Qu Neng rode his horse towards them from the west. Amid the noise, Qu Neng rode forward and said, "King of Han, Commander Liu and the generals have led the people to chase them, and more and more prisoners are being taken."In such an atmosphere, Qu Neng looked exceptionally calm and composed.Zhu Gaoxu took a breath and looked at Qu Neng's face very seriously. The light of the torch in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes seem
The news of Yang Wuhou's defeat at Taiping Field soon spread throughout the city, and the gates of Chengdu were successively put under martial law.All the troops of Li Rang, the commander of the Chengdu rear guard, were transferred to the front line, but the general in charge of the rear guard was replaced, so he was unable to follow Xue Lu to join the battle.In the early morning, Li Rang slowly ate breakfast, put on his clothes and armor, and walked to the door of his house, surrounded by servants and soldiers. At this time, two men in cloth clothes were already waiting by the gatehouse. They came up to him, took out a piece of paper with a seal and a Jinyiwei waist badge, and one of them said, "Please ask Commander Li to go with us."Li Rang's face turned pale immediately, and he stood there for a long time without saying a word. There were a group of guards and servants around him, but no one spoke at this time."Commander Li?" the Jinyiwei soldie
The city gates in the distance were tightly closed, swords and spears were everywhere on the city walls, and the muzzles of the cannons were pitch black; the solid city seemed like a fortress surrounded by iron barrels. Qu Neng led several riders and rushed to the south gate of Chengdu more than a hundred steps away, and could already see a row of heads hanging on the gate."Boom! Boom!" Two cannon shots were heard from the city wall. Qu Neng spurred his horse to move closer.The generals around him shouted, "It's dangerous! Commander Qu, don't let this get you down."There was a whizzing sound in the air, and a bunch of arrows fell on the ground in front of Qu Neng, nailing the ground densely. Qu Neng reined in his horse and looked up at the head on the top of the city. The veins on his temples bulged, and the red on his skin seemed like blood beads being squeezed out.He didn't make a sound, but he clenched his hands tightly, and the tendons in his w
When Wan Quan was mentioned, Zhu Yueyao immediately felt a dull pain in his buttocks and thighs. Because of the incident the year before last, he suffered a hundred blows.The injuries on Zhu Yueyao's body have long since healed, but the injuries that seem to be burned into his heart have not healed yet, and may never heal in his lifetime!Wan Quan is the commander and guard of the Prince of Shu. Before Zhu Yueyao was granted the title of county king, he and Wan Quan occasionally met each other in the Prince of Shu's palace, but that was all, and there was no special friendship.However, Wan Quan had a niece's husband named Xiong Duofen, who came to Huayang County the year before last and worked as an errand for Zhu Yueyao; thus, Zhu Yueyao and Wan Quan had an additional relationship.Xiong Duofen was very considerate and was very familiar with the streets, alleys, sensual places and places in Huayang County, Chengdu City, so he served Zhu Yueyao very
