Chapter 604 Duan Peng takes the blame
After seeing the terrain of Shaohua Mountain in full, he asked Lehe to draw a very accurate map while summoning the generals to issue orders. Then Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning, Hua Rong and Shi Jin each brought two battalions of troops.
Gao Qiu didn't know this at this time. In his opinion, this time the Grand Marshal went on the expedition, the bandits were probably already scared and trembling. If they didn't do it, they were so scared that they ran away first before his team arrived. It was impossible to take the initiative to attack.
Especially after resting in two places along the road, the flattery and gold and silver jewelry presented by countless officials made Brother Qiu feel proud. He only got up at midnight on that day. Then he dressed and washed up under the careful service of several beauties, and also walked on the horse with three points of wine and spring.
This time, his left and right commanders were Feng Mei and Bi Sheng. Both of them were the fourth-rank deputy commander in the front of the palace. Although they were not low, they would never dare to disobey Brother Qiu. Therefore, although they were deeply dissatisfied with his delayed marching speed, they were not easy to persuade him. The military strategy was dead, but the difference between superiors and subordinates was alive. They all had been through it until now, and naturally they knew this truth.
As Brother Qiu got on the horse army, he began to move out this time, and after walking, he saw the front of Mount Aihua. Bi Sheng hurriedly advised: "En Xiang, Mount Aihua is ahead. The mountain road is rugged and difficult to move. If you encounter an ambush army, it is urgent to rescue it. Under the subordinates, it is better to send a team to test first. If you have any safety, please come across the mountain."
Brother Qiu disagreed and said, "Bi Shuai is too worried. It's still in Yanzhou. Which bold thief dares to attack the heavenly soldiers?"
Bi Sheng hurriedly said: "Emma is a man of a thousand gold, even if there is a one-thousandth possibility, it must be avoided as much as possible. The responsibilities of his subordinates have to advise. It only took less than half an hour to pass by this mountain. Please wait for a moment."
This made Brother Qiu hear this very touched. He said with satisfaction: "Bi Sheng is indeed cautious in using troops, which is really a blessing for our army. So, according to what Bi Shuai said, I will wait for a moment here."
Bi Sheng nodded and then turned to Duan Pengju, the military commander of Suizhou, one of the eight generals, and said: "Pengju, you can take your troops first. If there is no problem, sound the horn on the opposite side, and we will go there again."
Duan Pengju cursed in his heart, "You guy went to flatter the Taiwei, but wanted me to work hard, but he didn't dare to disobey it. After saying the salute, he immediately took the five thousand people under his command to go first."
At this time, Du Jia was waiting on Mount Aihua. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song and other infantry leaders accompanied each other. They saw Gao Qiu's troops stopping when they arrived in front of the mountain, and then a bunch of soldiers galloped towards the valley alone.
Wu Song waved his fist and said annoyedly: "These guys are so cunning. I didn't expect that only a team of people came here. Mr. Jia, what should we do?"
It turned out that their previous plan was that if Gao Qiu and the others were not prepared and the team just drove straight in, they would wait for their team to push the boulders that had been prepared from the mountain, cut them in half, and then concentrate on attacking the front army. Now that only one team came in, it would be unexpected.
Du Jia smiled and said, "It's okay. Our goal is to catch a cow, but now that there is only one sheep, it's hard to accept it. When their team comes, they will still follow the plan as soon as they pass. However, if the prey is small, we will eat it clean, which will be worth it."
Wu Song and others smiled when they heard this. Seeing the Pengju team two rows of winding along the valley, the army had reached the entrance of the valley within a moment ago. Wu Song directly raised a huge rock worth more than 500 kilograms and threw it down. The officers and soldiers below saw a shadow above them getting bigger and bigger. When they looked up, they were shocked that they were not possessed and wanted to dodge but had no space. At that moment, more than a dozen were smashed to the ground.
Wu Song sounded the horn of the attack. The other soldiers on the top of the mountain immediately threw down the huge rocks and completely cut off the middle of the valley. Duan Pengju saw that the rear was blocked and hurriedly asked his soldiers to rush forward, but nearly a thousand people were still killed and injured by the rocks and rolled wood.
Then Duan Pengju finally rushed out of the valley and saw five soldiers and horses around him shouting and charging. The leader was Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning, Hua Rong, and Shi Jin. Qin Ming rushed the most urgently and fastestly. Seeing that there was only one fish on the bait, he couldn't help but angrily at Duan Pengju: "Ye, where did the thief generals come from? The one who was going to kill was Gao Qiu. Not you, you are so angry that I am so angry."
Duan Pengju was hit on the head for no reason and was not angry. He heard this and was furious: "Bold bandits, I am Duan Pengju, the chief of the military and horses of Suizhou. I just happened to use you as a guy to relieve my anger."
After saying that, the two of them didn't talk, and each raised their weapons to fight each other, and they could not decide the victory or defeat for ten rounds. But at this time, the other four generals also arrived. Now it was a melee rather than a general in front of the formation, so naturally there was no need for a dignified duel. Hua Rong's people had already bent their bows and arrows before they arrived. Duan Pengju was close to him and hit the throat. Duan Pengju hit the horse on the spot. Although Qin Ming was angry, he was helpless. Hua Rong was his brother-in-law in love, and everyone competed fairly. He had to mutter a few words and rushed towards the other officers and soldiers.
These officers and soldiers were originally frightened birds. How could they block the impact of these five elite soldiers and generals? At this time, when Duan Pengju was killed, his morale was greatly reduced. With a loud bang, he dispersed, and his running and his descending were quickly cleared.
Gao Qiu and the others on this side of the mountain were stunned when they suddenly saw the falling rocks on the mountain. Brother Qiu was so scared that he threw away the teacup in his hand, and his head was covered in cold sweat. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that Bi Sheng stopped admonishment, otherwise he might have been the one who was smashed. After wiping the sweat, he became extremely angry and resentful again. He stared at Du Jia and others on the mountain and cursed: "Where are you from the thief? How dare you attack the officers and soldiers? Do you know who is this officer?"
Du Jia was also looking at the legendary figure of Brother Qiu, thinking that you had been born a thousand years ago, otherwise you would have become a national hero in the future with your football skills, and you would still be a national hero, and you would still be a wealthy and honored by thousands of people. Unfortunately, in this era, he could only be a treacherous minister. After hearing Gao Qiu's words, he laughed and said in a silence: "Isn't this the second-year high school who used to be a gang in Tokyo? I didn't expect to become a Grand Marshal? What a big joke. Didn't you send troops this time to attack us? Haven't you even seen the portrait of the enemy?"
It would be a pity that Gao Qiu was not able to be born a thousand years late, otherwise at least he would be fine if he played out of Asia.
