Chapter 44 Chapter VII General Bone

It is said that the waterways in Huang Tiandang are criss-crossed, covered with thousands of hectares of reeds, and the land is sparsely populated. It has always been a place where heroes from the green forest haunt. very heavy. The book endorses that after the tomb of General Yanzhong sank underwater, the temple collapsed and the corpse was swallowed by the Nami Dongling fish.But those are the remains of heroes from ancient times, and they are covered with body armor to avoid fire and cross water, so that a substanceless, invisible, and turbulent heroic wind is condensed and does not disperse, and it falls into the belly of the fish. But the bone armor is still immortal.

The Midongling fish at the bottom of the Yanzhong are very greedy, they only care about swallowing the large group of yin rats that fell into the water, but there is a skeleton in the abdominal cavity, it is difficult to swallow, so they have to vomit out the contents of the stomach.I saw the black water tumbling, and a large skeleton with a helmet and full armor emerged from it. It was white and dripping with water. The two eye sockets of the skull were sunken, looking directly at the sky like two godless black holes, and was covered by treasures. Armor is supported, floating on the water, rising and falling suddenly.

Back then in the Maoxian Temple, the old ghost in the forest once told Zhang Xiaozhuan: "As long as you see General Bone on the water, the Wild Goose Camp will definitely defeat the Cantonese invaders." The rest of the details were not mentioned at all. Even if Zhang Xiaozhuan tried his best to think about it, he still couldn't figure out the mystery.Although he had no doubts about this matter before, when the matter came to an end, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and cursed secretly: "Damn it was raised by a mother with stinky feet, look at this big skeleton in the wild goose mound, although it was majestic in life, Now it's just a pile of ignorant bones, how can you expect it to go to battle? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the old ghost in the forest? Don't be confused for a while, give me a note Faint move, so tired that Mr. Zhang put his life in it."

Just as I was thinking wildly, suddenly a gust of wind pierced through my bones.This gust of dark wind was extraordinary, it blew the soil in front of the gate of hell, rolled up the dust from Mount Fengdu, and instantly changed the color of the sky and the earth, and dispersed the mist.The three of Zhang Xiaozhuo shivered, and when they looked at the water surface again, they saw that Mi Dongling Fish and the Bone General had sunk back to the bottom, leaving only a large group of water mice running away on the embankment. Seeing that the fog had cleared, Yan Ling'er didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly dragged back to the overturned row on the water, carried Zhang Xiaozhuan and Sun Dazi to hide in the reeds, and joined the Yanying Tuanyong who was ambushing nearby.

Zhang Xiaozhuan leaned on the wild goose row, suspicious in his heart, really couldn't think of what the skeleton general who was buried in the water could do.But he didn't know that the treasure armor worn on the skeleton was a set of ancient relics that had endured many battles, and the evil spirit accumulated in it was so heavy that it hadn't seen the sun for thousands of years. The reed catkins swayed with the wind, blowing away the mist that shrouded the yellow sky.After the evil energy dissipated, the treasure armor was also torn apart, and once again submerged into the bottom of the wild goose mound together with the skeleton and white bones.

Don't think that this gust of wind comes easily and goes quickly, but it often plays a vital role in the success or failure of military strategists.I want to come to an ancient poem that says "The Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply". At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there was a great battle in Chibi Rock. If there was no loach to make holes to trigger the Dongfeng, what kind of bitter tricks, serial tricks, and anti-interference stories, It's just a useless plan. If Marquis Wu can't borrow the east wind, how can there be the subsequent burning of the company?Therefore, there is a piece of praise, which only praises the benefits of the wind under the sky. Its praise said: "Wind, wind, wind, wind from east to west, north and south, without shadow and trace; clean up the universe and dust, and move the shade to reveal the sun is more meritorious; roll the poplar Flowers, destroying willows, rivers can send boats; Embracing white clouds, coming out of the mountain peaks, lightly swinging flower branches and treetops, going through the window and entering the curtain, the candle shadow shakes red again."

The treasure armor at the bottom of the Yanzhong water draws a gust of dark wind, what does it have to do with the Yanying setting up an ambush in Huangtiandang?It turned out that the Taiping Army raised troops to attack Lingzhou City. The division failed for a long time, and lost many troops. When the flood suddenly rose in the surrounding area, the food and grass supplies were cut off, which made the army panic. However, most of the official roads were washed away by the flood, and there was no way to go in many places. The only place where the army could pass was Huang Tiandang.The Taiping army died down and retreated overnight, winding down the mountain road. When Xiangci arrived at the side of the swing, the team was already uneven, and every step seemed lazy.

The leader of the Taiping Army's commanding forces is a person who has experienced many battles, is familiar with military tactics, and is also suspicious. He can measure the situation by taking advantage of the wind.Although he knew that there was no brigade of officers and soldiers outside Lingzhou City, but when he got closer, he could see a murderous intent looming in the mist of Huang Tiandang. But at this moment, many water rats suddenly escaped from the wandering house, flitting past, and scurrying into the wilderness, and the wind between the sky and the earth swept away the mist.The leader of the Taiping Army saw it clearly, but he took a reassurance.He is well aware of the habits of water rats, water rats are afraid of people, and they will burrow when they see people. Since they are fleeing everywhere, there must be no ambushes in Huang Tiandang, it's just that the nature of things is out of season.Besides, when the fog and mirage dissipate, you won't worry about getting lost when you go in. Even if there are some thieves and grasshoppers hiding inside, I dare not run into my army and horses unless they are tired of being crooked.

Marching all night, the soldiers were tired and relaxed. As a result, the Taiping Army was careless, and did not even dispatch outposts to explore the way. One team after another swarmed in and entered the depths of the reeds from various rat banks.The densely packed army soldiers are like long snakes, with their ends invisible, passing through Huang Tiandang and slowly moving south. The Chinese army marched to the depths and was walking away in a panic, when they heard a wild goose whistle.The long whistling sound tore through the gloomy sky. Before the whistle sounded, countless wild goose platoons emerged from the reeds in all directions. They shot at the unsuspecting Taiping army on the embankment.

For a while, the sound of guns and guns was loud and deafening, and the prodigal house was filled with gunpowder smoke, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.The Taiping army was caught off guard, never dreamed that there would be Qing soldiers among the prodigal sons, and it was definitely not a small group of troops, the goose row deep in the reeds flickered, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers came.Moreover, when the Taiping Army was marching, they put out a few long snake formations with the word "one", but they were suddenly hit to seven inches, and had to fight hastily.It is difficult for each team to respond to each other, and it is impossible to look at each other from head to tail. The soldiers are mostly panicked, and they are crowded with each other on the narrow water rat embankment, and they cannot move around at all.People bumped into each other, trampled on each other, horses bumped into horses, corpses littered the ground, the brigade was in chaos, and one out of ten guns could not be fired.

But the wild goose camp had been laying in wait for a long time, and one was in the open and the other was in the dark. A row of muskets blasted past, and the Taiping army fell down a lot of corpses. Seeing that there were so many dead people, the corpses kept rolling into the water, and the lake was completely covered. Dyed red. Most of the Taiping army that besieged Lingzhou City were captured captives and rioters. Out of 10%, 70% were mobs who would disperse after a fierce battle.They didn't know the depth of the prodigal son. Tens of thousands of horses flocked to the swamp where there was no officer and army to intercept them, and some panicked and fled into the water. When the army was defeated like a mountain, how could it be contained. The wild goose camp has a lot of bamboo spears that are about ten feet long. These bamboo spears are so long and sharp that even if the opponent wants to bully them into close combat, they can't reach them.Seeing the chaos of the Guangdong invaders, the regiment warriors rushed to kill them from behind, and stabbed everywhere with bamboo spears, killing all the Taiping soldiers who fell into the water, and countless others fell into the swamp, filling up with dead bodies. full of water. Only the central army of the Taiping Army who went near the Yanzhong was all elites from the old battalion in western Guangdong, and the leading general in the Taiping Army also knew that if they couldn't make a bloody way out of the prodigal son, this army would have to die. The whole army was annihilated, so regardless of the heavy casualties, he commanded the soldiers who survived the bombardment of the volleyball guns, piled up the comrades who were wounded and wounded by the guns into a bunker, resisted the bullets that kept shooting from the reeds, and fought back with firecrackers, bows and arrows, to hold on. Tuanyong, Yanmin, and Bandit who were ambushing all around, after killing the brigade of Guangdong invaders, found that only the Yanzhong area in Huangtiandang was still fighting fiercely, so they communicated with each other with wild goose whistle.Teams of troops came to attack from all directions. Although the Wild Goose Camp was brave and good at fighting, it was difficult to easily gain the upper hand when encountering the elite troops of the Taiping Army.I saw swords and guns raised at the same time, swords and halberds criss-crossing.Facing the knife, shoulders are connected to the back; facing the gun, the head is broken; when blocking the sword, the throat is pierced;The corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed like rivers. This is exactly "there is no winner when you meet your opponent, and you never win or lose when you meet a good general." Zhang Xiaozhuan had seen battles in Lingzhou City many times, but never saw such a brutal battle. Seeing the countless casualties of his brothers in the wild goose camp, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, his eyes turned red.When the two armies were in a difficult position, everyone saw from a distance that in the formation of the Guangdong invaders, there was a burly man with sideburns and beards, about forty years old, riding a tall horse, wearing a splendid yellow robe, With a sword and a foreign gun on his body, he commanded as determinedly, surrounded by dozens of soldiers holding shields to protect him.Judging by his attire and style, he is expected to be a puppet king with a grass head at the head. Yan Ling'er has been fighting with the Cantonese invaders for a long time, and she can recognize the color of the fake king's clothes. She pointed her finger and said, "This thief must be Zhan Tianhou who is in command of the army." After saying that, he drew the bow of the goose head, put on the arrow of the goose feather, and opened the bow. Like a full moon, the arrow went like a shooting star, and with the word "Zuo" in his mouth, a cold arrow was shot out, passing through the gap in the shield, and Zhan Tianhou was shot and fell off his horse and fell to the ground.The Taiping Army suddenly fell into chaos. Knowing that the commander was killed, they no longer wanted to fight. Seeing that the head of the Guangdong army was shot down by an arrow, Li Si of the Yan Pai knew that the time had come, so he blew the wild goose whistle.Hearing the order, the warriors of the wild goose battalion pulled out their goose feather knives and rushed forward in a swarm, overturning the corpses piled up like a hill, throwing themselves into the crowd and chopping wildly with their knives. The Yanling Dao used by Yanhu has a long body and short handle, thick back and thin blade, which is most suitable for cutting in front of the battle, especially in close combat.I saw that wherever the long knife was swung, there were heads falling to the ground one by one, and the whole cavity was sprayed with blood, which was really invincible.Sun Dazi was also red-eyed, and caught a glimpse of Zhan Tianhou who was wounded by the arrow in the crowd, fell on the ground and struggled to get up, so he swung his big knife and killed the Taiping army guarding with shields, planning to kill him with a single blow. Cut off the head of that occupying heaven. Unexpectedly, Zhan Tianhou always had a beautiful servant boy with him, and that servant fell to the ground in the confusion and pretended to be dead, taking advantage of Sun Dazi's unawareness, he stabbed behind him with a sword.Although Sun Dazi is proficient in martial arts, he is not experienced in fighting in battle. He is greedy for success and only cares about killing Zhan Tianhou, and never guards against others. On the spot, the blood gushed like a fountain, and he actually taught the servant boy to ruin his life. It is lamentable that "the earthen pot cannot be broken without leaving the well, and the general will inevitably die under the knife." Yan Pai Li Si happened to be watching from the side, but the incident happened suddenly in the chaos of the army, and it was too late to save people.He and Sun Dazi are sworn brothers, and the brother died like a broken brother, he couldn't help being angry, his eyes turned black, he raised his hand amidst the shouting, and chopped the Yanling knife over, chopping Zhan Tianhou's body with just one knife The servant boy kicked the corpse away, and went to chop up the leader, Zhan Tianhou.Unexpectedly, although Zhan Tianhou was injured by an arrow, he was brave and brave, and he still wanted to fight trapped beasts.He fell into the pile of dead people, still holding the short gun in his hand, and when he saw someone approaching, he fired one shot, impartially, and hit Li Si on the wild goose row.Li Si immediately splattered with blood, turned over and fell down. This is exactly "there are ghosts in vain in the underworld, but young people are not seen in the world of yang".If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
