Chapter 142 (4) Nixi Night Battle

It can be said that over the years, Xia Guoxiang's status in the Wu army has risen steadily, and he has been promoted to the level of a member of the Central Committee, and he has as many brave generals as possible under him.There was a general who was tall and upright, and had a serious guerrilla style. He was used to attacking east and west, using less to strike more. When fighting, he liked to use small groups of guerrillas to kill the enemy's main force.Seeing Prince An Yue Le coming with a cannon this time, Gao Dajie was overjoyed and said: Lao Xia, I have a good idea.You see the flames of war are raging now, the land and water roads are impassable, and the Qing army Yue Le has a lot of people running forward carrying cannons, how much food will they have to eat that day?In my opinion, why don't we give up Nanchang immediately, lure the Qing army into the city, and then we surround it from the outside, it's no wonder that the Qing soldiers don't starve to death!

Xia Guoxiang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, let's do this." So Xia Guoxiang quickly withdrew his army and gave up Nanchang.Yue Le was overjoyed when he saw it, and rushed to Nanchang carrying the cannon.Before arriving at the place, there was another Prince Jian Labu, who was originally stationed in Jiujiang, but suddenly found that Nanchang was empty. With strength, I finally regained Nanchang... While writing a letter, Yue Le came angrily and scolded: La Bu, are you out of your mind?Your soldiers are in Jiujiang, and you and I will help each other, and you will be able to restrain Xia Guoxiang.But you are lucky, and suddenly came to Nanchang.Look outside the city now, Xia Guoxiang's guerrillas are running around.A good game of live chess was killed by you. Whether we can get out of Nanchang alive now is an ambiguous matter. You are still here to ask for credit and reward!

After hearing this, La Bu said, "Let me go back to Jiujiang without asking what you mean?" Yue Le said: Forget it, you can stay in Nanchang City and wait to die, I will lead my people back to attack Jiujiang. So Yue Le carried the cannon out of the city and hurried forward.When we arrived at Luozi Mountain, the mountain strangled the mountains on the left and blocked the Xihe River on the right. The terrain was extremely dangerous.When Yue Le was in shock, he suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet, and an ambush soldier came out, but it was Gao Dajie who broke up his army into pieces, and a thousand soldiers led by the general Li Xiongfei came.

Seeing Li Xiongfei riding on the horse, he yelled, "Yue Le, quickly put down the cannon, I'll spare you!" Yue Le stepped forward to take a look, and said: How dare such a few people come out to make trouble?Left and right, move the cannon forward with me. The cannon was pushed out rumblingly, Li Xiongfei laughed loudly when he saw this situation: "Yue Le, fire the cannon quickly, I'm going back to sleep!" The guerrillas retreated with a clatter, Yue Le felt worried and said: This broken cannon is so heavy!You moved here with great difficulty, but they might have gone around behind you. At this time, even if you want to turn the gun around, it will be too late. What should you do?

The only way is to let everyone carry the twenty heavy cannons, light the torches, and run wildly at midnight. If you are lucky, you may run until dawn, and you may escape the danger. So the Qing army picked up the heavy artillery, lit the torches, and ran wildly in the barren mountains and ridges.While running wildly, in the dark, I heard the sound of the trumpet cannon, and the sound of bowstrings was heard endlessly, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing through the air rang out. This black light is blind, and he doesn't know where the ambush is, let alone how many people are on the other side.Yue Le gritted his teeth, forcing the soldiers to ignore the ambush attack and continue to run away with their eyes closed.

While walking, there was another trumpet in front, and suddenly there were countless torches, covering the stars, and I saw Wu Yonghua, Xia Guoxiang's general, holding a big knife, blocking the front: Yue Le, why are you running around?Get off the horse and call Grandpa! At this time, Yue Le looked around and found that the soldiers under his command either had dangling arrows stuck in their buttocks, or had blood dripping from their skulls, and the twenty heavy cannons had been left somewhere.At the moment Yue Le said: Hello everyone, please don't look at me... I mean, are your own knives fast enough?If it's fast enough, let's wipe each of our necks, so we don't bother them, okay?

The people around Yue Le looked at each other and said: I don't think it's urgent to wipe my neck.You see, the stream is not deep at all, why don't we cross the stream immediately, it may not be a way to survive. Yue Le was overjoyed and said: Then let's ignore them.Everyone quickly take off your pants, put mud in it, and then fill up the stream... So the Qing army took off their trousers one after another, tied up their trouser legs as sacks, filled them with soil, and threw them into the stream.At this time, among the three generals under Xia Guoxiang, Han Daren was in the lead, Li Xiongfei was catching up behind, and Wu Yonghua was rushing forward.And the Qing army was also determined at this time, whether you want to chop or not, you will never fight back, just rush to fill your pants with dirt...

Speaking of the melee that night, the guerrillas on Gaodajie's side had only 3,000 people at full strength, and the ratio of the number of people in the Qing army was about one to ten, which means that the Qing army had about 30,000 horses.However, in the middle of the night at this time, the guerrillas did their mental calculations, and the Qing army didn't even have the intention to fight back. One guerrilla attacked horizontally and vertically, and almost 20,000 people were killed. There were still 10,000 people left in Yue Le, who rushed across the stream and shifted his strategy without looking back.
