When Hong Xiuquan heard that Feng Sheng had recommended someone, he secretly thought that with Feng Sheng's ability, the recommended person must also have real talent and learning. He was immediately overjoyed and asked, "I wonder who General Feng recommends?"
Feng Sheng cupped his hands and said: "The person recommended by the final general is named Luan and his name is Tingyu. Although this person is only a small military commander, he is highly skilled in martial arts. He is good at wielding a spear and has a hidden copper hammer. He has courage that no man can match. He also has One of the disciples is Zhu Biao, who is also skilled in bow and horse. If these two people help each other, the general will have a better chance of winning!"
When Hong Xiuquan heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "To be able to receive such high praise from General Feng, Luan Tingyu and Zhu Biao must have something special. Come on, hurry up and call the master and apprentice!"
Not long after, master and apprentice Luan Tingyu and Zhu Biao were brought into the hall. Hong Xiuquan looked intently and saw that Luan Tingyu was tall and tall, with a strong back and strong waist, a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth. He looked like a powerful man.
Zhu Biao, who was behind Luan Tingyu, was not as tall as Luan Tingyu, but he was still nearly seven feet tall. He had handsome features and a dignified appearance. He looked like he came from a wealthy family.
Hong Xiuquan was secretly overjoyed when he saw that both of them were extraordinary in martial arts. He looked calm on the surface and said in a deep voice: "Luan Tingyu Zhu Biao, General Feng recommended you two to Gu, saying that you are skilled in bow and horse and have excellent martial arts. The kingdom of heaven is now in full swing. It's time to employ people, so I'll send you two as deputy generals to General Feng to go out of the city to ambush the Sui army. If you can come back victorious, I'll give you a generous reward!"
Luan Tingyu and Zhu Biao looked at each other after hearing this, and they were both overjoyed. They immediately raised their hands and thanked the King of Heaven, saying, "Thank you so much for the kindness of the King of Heaven. I will swear allegiance to the Kingdom of Heaven to the death, and I have repaid the King of Heaven for your kindness!"
At that moment, Hong Xiuquan appointed Feng Sheng as the chief general, and Luan Tingyu and Zhu Biao as deputy generals. He led 20,000 elite troops out of the city gate quickly, marched lightly and rushed for more than 30 miles to Kuyunling, a dangerous terrain. They dispersed and hid themselves, preparing for a strong attack. Hard crossbows, rolling wood and stones, waiting for the arrival of the Sui army.
. . . . . . . . . .
On the long official road, the 60,000-strong Sui army with bright armor, numerous swords and guns, and high morale marched in uniform steps towards Tianjing City to kill.
Wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, Yue Fei walked slowly on horseback in the middle of the team, his eyes slightly closed, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in front. Several scouts rushed to Yue Fei. They dismounted, raised their hands and said, "To Commander Yue, there is indeed an ambush of the Taiping Army on Kuyun Ridge. You guys are far away." Looking around, there are shadows of people moving in the dense jungle from time to time!"
Shi Dakai on the side was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Shuai Yue really knows things like a god, Shi Dakai admires him! I admire him!"
Yue Fei waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "How can I predict this? It's just that the map shows that the terrain of Kuyun Ridge is dangerous. It is what military experts call a dangerous place. I just sent a few scouts to inspect the situation."
Shi Dakai still smiled and cupped his hands and said: "That's all thanks to Commander Yue's skill in using troops. If Shi had been allowed to lead the army, when our army had such an advantage, we would not have cared about the surrounding terrain and would have led the army to Tianjing!" "
Wang Zhongsi also nodded and said: "It seems that there are experts in Tianjing City who dare to go out of the city to set up an ambush at this time. If he really allows the ambush to succeed, the morale of our army will definitely be damaged. I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture Tianjing City in a short time." "
"It's a pity that the Taiping Army is still a group of bandits with lax military discipline. As long as our army's scouts make a little exploration, they will be able to discover their ambush, and no matter how good the strategy is, it will eventually come to nothing."
Yue Fei shook his head with some regret and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zhongsi, I order you to lead 10,000 elite troops to bypass Kuyun Ridge, form a formation on the only way to Tianjing City, and intercept the Taiping Army. Shi Dakai, I order you to lead five thousand crossbowmen to set fire to the mountain with rockets and force out all the Taiping ambushes on Kuyun Ridge, while I will lead the army to cover up and kill them."
Shi Dakai and Wang Zhongsi both raised their hands and said, "I will obey your orders!"
Because Wang Zhongsi wanted to take a detour, Yue Fei deliberately ordered Shi Dakai to stand by for half an hour and wait until Wang Zhongsi reached Kuyun Ridge before setting off.
. . . . . . . . . .
On Kuyun Ridge, Feng Sheng waited and saw no Sui army coming. He couldn't help but feel a little agitated, and murmured: "According to the military report, the Sui army is only fifty miles away. How come it has taken so long?" Not here yet?”
Luan Tingyu on the side smiled and said: "General, don't be anxious, I think our scout's report was wrong?"
"That's true!"
Feng Sheng turned his head and looked at the Taiping soldiers who were staggering around hiding in the bushes behind him. He shook his head helplessly: "No wonder the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Heaven were killed by Yue Fei and Wang Shouren's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They abandoned their armor and lost their armor in repeated battles. . These people are not soldiers, they are just farmers with weapons!"
Luan Tingyu also shook his head, "After all, the kingdom of heaven was just established, and the foundation is insufficient. When the king of heaven returned to Lingnan, he also planned to train these believers into an army, but it is a pity that the Sui army did not give us this opportunity. Yulin Pass was lost, and the barrier of Tianjing Infinite Pass was lost. This matter is over!"
Rumble…
While the two were talking, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the distance, causing dust to fly. Feng Sheng immediately turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "All armies, listen to the order, the Sui army has arrived. All of them are hiding and waiting. Anyone who dares to move and expose his whereabouts will be executed without mercy!"
Shi Dakai led five thousand crossbowmen to open the way first, and flew all the way to Kuyun Ridge, where he suddenly stopped advancing. A ferocious sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and commanded: "Fire rockets!"
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Shi Dakai gave an order, and the five thousand crossbowmen behind him quickly formed a formation, ignited the rockets coated with pine oil, and shot toward the dense forests on both sides.
Since Kuyun Ridge is suitable for hiding ambushes, there are naturally many bushes around it that can provide shelter. The overwhelming rockets poured into this dense jungle, instantly igniting the fire, which reflected half of the sky red, and became out of control. !
"No, the Sui army has discovered the ambush. They are going to use fire attacks to force us down the mountain and then take the opportunity to cover up and annihilate our army!"
Feng Sheng was shocked when he saw this. He secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, don't mess up, stabilize your formation, rush to the official road below in an orderly manner, and set up your formation to resist the Sui army's attack. Don't do it yourself." Get into chaos!"
But the fire spread very quickly, and many soldiers were burned by the fire before they could react. They were so frightened that they hurriedly ran around, rolling on the ground, and whining.
The Taiping Army was originally a ragtag group that fought randomly. When encountering this situation, the morale of the army was already in chaos. They were all panicking and running for their lives like crazy. How could anyone pay attention to Feng Sheng's military orders?
