Chapter 138 Gorge Road

This time, there was no extra man to guard the prisoners. The sword and shield hands also ruthlessly surrounded and killed the enemy soldiers who put down their weapons and surrendered.

Although the slopes on both sides of the gorge were steep, they were not cliffs and eventually dozens of enemy soldiers fled in scattered ways.

However, the nearly 500 elite cavalry left by the Qing Shun Army or the Shuozhou rebels in Lanzhou, including a group of children of Shuozhou's rebel generals and officials, except for a few important figures who were captured and captured, all of them were killed and killed.

Yang Qiye and the Xuanwu Army generals around him were a little calmer. After all, the battle scenes they had witnessed in Qingquangou Village in Gongxian County were more bloody, cruel, violent and intense than before.

Zheng Jinqing and his fingers belonging to the Qinfeng Road Metropolitan Deployment Department were stunned, and a passion was ignited in his chest, hoping to rush downhill to participate in the battle.

In the past hundreds of years, Qin Fenglu has been responsible for nearly one-third of the wars with the Dangxiang people. As the son of the general, Zheng Jinqing has also grown up in the camp with his father and brother since childhood and has participated in many battles with the Dangxiang people.

However, in the past decade, the intensity of the war between Dayue and Dangxiang people has declined. Zheng Jinqing and several of the people around him claim to be fierce, but he has not experienced such a fierce battle scene in front of him. The scene of the Chihu cavalry slaughtered in Hehuai. They were in Gong County at that time, but they did not see it.

The gorge was simply a unilateral massacre. The scene in front of them made them unable to calm down for a long time.

The gorge was too narrow. When Wang Ju saw Xu Huai, he asked the generals to retreat to the slightly spacious entrance of the valley. Yang Qiye and Zheng Jinqingcai. Jin Qingcai led the generals down the steep slope and rushed over to meet Xu Huai and Wang Ju, waiting for new instructions.

Tang Pan, who took over the command of the battlefield, stood on the stone cliff on the left, and continued to pay attention to the almost resting gorge battlefield. However, it is hard to say that few enemy soldiers pretended to die. Suddenly searched for them and cleaned up the battlefield, the generals who were ruthless.

At present, their main force is still west of Taohua Chong and Minglu Fort. At present, this post road is the only way to enter the upper reaches of the Fen River Valley from Langu east into the Fen River (Kilan, Loufan). It is also impossible to let the corpses of these people and horses freeze together with the road surface.

They cleaned the battlefield and needed to drag out of the gorge in time before the temperature of the people and horse corpses completely cooled down.

There were only a few generals and soldiers who died in this battle in the Chushan Camp. The ground was frozen strong and it was difficult to bury them on the spot. They could only be covered under the ice and snow. The slightly injured generals and soldiers were simply bandaged and continued to fight with the large army.

In addition, nearly twenty generals and soldiers were seriously injured.

Shi Hu led twenty injured horses into the valley and cut their throats and killed them. Then he cut the horse's belly, pulled the stomach and intestines apart, stuffed the seriously injured soldiers into the horse's belly, hoping to maintain their body temperature. After the subsequent soldiers and horses rushed from the south valley to the Taohua River to take a detour to carry out subsequent treatment.

"Xu Xin'an will immediately lead two hundred cavalry to the Heiyan Post. Yang Qiye, you will immediately return to the west of Taohua Chong. Don't pay attention to the enemy of Taohua Chong. You will arrive at Heiyan Post within two days and meet with Xu Xin'an. If you fail to arrive after the deadline, you will be punished for losing the army. Do you understand?"

The Black Yan Post is the core pass on the Yangguang Old Road located on the Lanzhou side.

The northern section of the Luliang Mountains that separate Lanzhou and Xinzhou and Taiyuan are much more steeper than Guancen Mountain. The Black Yanyi is located in the middle of the mountain gorge, leaning against a high cliff in the north and a deep ditch in the south. There is a man in the pass, which is a dangerous place for thousands of men.

The former site of Tianmen Pass at the west entrance of the old road of the Black Yan Post and Yang Guang can be said to be two narrow places that rushed from Lanzhou to Taiyuan.

Xu Xin'an, Fan Zongqi, and Wu Chichuan took advantage of the Lanzhou garrison before they could react, and led the remaining cavalry to the Heiyan Post to meet with Zhou Jing, who had led dozens of elite scouts to sneak into the western foothills of the Luliang Mountain to block the channel. It is possible that the news of Lanzhou's attack was blocked for two or three days.

This will also make them more than two or three days in Lanzhou to further attack the Qing Shun Army.

The 500 troops of Yang Qiye's troops were horses and infantry. After training in Gongxian County, they grew up and had considerable combat effectiveness. After Xu Huai asked him to lead his troops into Lanzhou, he would join forces with the cavalry units led by Xu Xin'an, Fan Zongqi, Wu Chichuan and others, and could cooperate more effectively in combat.

The marching is made by the wind and snow, and the battle becomes more difficult, but it is undoubtedly the best to create miracles.

Before raiding Kelan, Xu Huai led his troops to jump out of the blockade of the enemy soldiers on a storm night, climbed over the wall west of Yangkou Village, ran three or four hundred miles in two days and one night, and suddenly rushed to the city of Kelan, creating a miracle of 300 cavalry capturing the city.

Of course, marching between valleys and valleys in windy and snowy days is also a severe test for ordinary generals.

It may be 160 or 70 miles from the west of Taohua Chong to the Heiyan Post, but with such heavy wind and snow, there is still a small section of mountains that have no ready-made roads to go, and it is necessary to carry as little supplies as possible. After arriving within two days, Yang Qiye really didn't know how many generals and soldiers would fall behind with such a high-intensity marching, and it was also possible that some people would be completely lost among the mountains in a foreign land. However, he did not hesitate at this moment and took on this marching mission.

Zheng Jinqing was not willing to be outdone and asked Xu Huai for battle: "The Yang army envoy led his troops to the Heiyan Post. How should our troops fight? I also ask the military marquis to give instructions!"

"Zheng Army Envoy, your troops must arrive at Huanglongpo Post by noon tomorrow and be prepared to fight with the enemy from Ningwu south!" Xu Huai ordered Zheng Jinqing.

The Qing Shun Army (Lanzhou, Shuozhou rebels) were stationed in Langu, and Taohua Chongzhang Village was mainly guarding against the troops of the Prefecture and Prefecture. Since Xiao Linshi actually controlled the entire Xishan area, the Qing Shun Army guarded the defense line of the Khitan remnants, mainly Minglu Village, Guangwu Village and Yangkou Village on the north side of Ningwu County.

Yangkou Village is located above the Huihe River Valley. It is the main passage for large-scale cavalry to attack on a large scale. There is also a passage that connects Guangwu Village to the west along the side wall, Minglu Village and Langu City, and can be transferred to Lanzhou City when going south. Therefore, Cao Shixiong placed 5,000 troops in Yangkou Village.

Xu Huai cut the Qing Shun Army in Lanzhou, so that it could not gather together to block the western entrance of the northern foothill passage of the Luliang Mountains near Heiyan Post. It is located on the eastern slope of Guancen Mountain and the west bank of the Fen River. It is a must-fight place for them.

If Cao Shixiong was unwilling to let them enter a deserted land in Lanzhou, they would definitely take back Huanglongpo Post.
