Chapter 120
Although Zhang Changen has not been able to face the Fuhan army directly, he has already felt the strength of the Fuhan army, especially the Fuhan army currently appearing in Linxiang. Many are young and strong, but their combat power has declined a lot. In this case, he can only choose to delay as much as possible.

It's just that the Fuhan army can't continue to attack south at the moment, otherwise it will easily cut off the retreat of the Qing army in Yuezhou.At that time, it will be very difficult for Zhang Changen to retreat, and he can only fight a life-and-death defense battle with the Fuhan army.

We must send troops to guard the back road!Zhang Changen finally made up his mind, he didn't have the idea of ​​living and dying with Yuezhou, and the emperor didn't let him live and die with Yuezhou, as long as he could hold back the Fuhan army, this also relieved Zhang Changen of psychological pressure , out of this consideration, Zhang Changen sent Zhang Cheng, one of his generals, to lead five battalions of Fubiao, with a total of more than [-] people, to garrison Chenglingji.

The location of Chenglingji is very critical. It is a connection point connecting Yuezhou and Luoxiao Mountain. However, Chang'an and Taolin were flanked by Chang'an and Taolin before, so it was not so important. But now Chang'an and Taolin have been taken by the Fuhan army. Next, if Chenglingji is captured again, Yuezhou and Luoxiao Mountain will be cut off directly, and by then it will be too late.

As soon as Zhang Cheng received the order, he immediately led his troops to set off, but what he didn't know was that Chenglingji had been preempted by Ning Yu at this time, and he had set up many ambushes, waiting for the arrival of the Yuezhou defenders. .

The reason why Ning Yu set up an ambush here is that many factors were considered. Judging from the character of Zhang Changen, this person is extremely cautious. It is difficult to lure him out with ordinary methods, and he can only create false appearances for him. There are opportunities to take advantage of.

This illusion is divided into two layers. The first layer is the more than [-] Fu Han troops under Luo Xiaoshan. By blocking the Luo Xiaoshan Qing army, they passed the information of the main force here to Zhang Changen in Yuezhou, making them Let your guard down.The second layer is the regiment led by Dong Ce. As long as they occupy Taolin, they will send a second signal to Zhang Changen, that is, the Fuhan army is going to outflank the rear of the Qing army in Yuezhou, which can make him alert.

At this stage, Zhang Changen will naturally set his sights on Chenglingji, which was not so important before, and Ning Yu set up an ambush here.In addition, if Zhang Changen wanted to support Luo Xiaoshan's Qing army, he would pass through this place, and if Luo Xiaoshan's Qing army wanted to return to Fangyue Prefecture, they would also pass through Chenglingji.

Out of this consideration, Ning Yu set out at night before the Battle of Luoxiao Mountain officially started, arrived at Chenglingji, and waited for a full day outside Chenglingji until Wang Xuan's death. After the messenger set off, he marched into Chenglingji, and at this time it was getting dark again.

Chenglingji covers Sanxiang in the south, controls Jinghan in the north, and strangles Dongting Lake through the throat of the Yangtze River. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.But here is only the sentry team of the Qing army, Ning Si, the battalion commander of the guard battalion, winked, and led dozens of people to quietly touch the Qing army's position.

At this time, the Qing soldiers in Chenglingji were not very vigilant. No one could have imagined that the Fuhan army bypassed Luoxiao Mountain and arrived here. These Qing soldiers wiped their necks, and then stripped off their uniforms and jackets.

A soldier of the Fuhan Army looked at the pile of smelly clothes, frowned, and then looked at the military uniform on his body with some regret, "My lord, why do we have to change into Qinggouzi's clothes?"

Ning Si just snorted, "Stop talking nonsense, change quickly, there is still a battle waiting for us to fight." As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers to bury all the corpses, except for a faint smell of blood in the air, There is no other trace.

It is completely unrealistic to ambush 500 people in Chenglingji, so only 500 people hid on Chenglingji, using rocks to cover up, and the rest scattered to other places outside Chenglingji. In order to ensure the effect of the ambush.

Ning Yu is now lying on the highest hillside of Chenglingji. From this position, he can clearly see the movement around him. Although there are still many loopholes under the temporary disguise, under the cover of night, he will not How weird it feels.

Ning Si brought some people from the guard battalion, wearing the uniforms of the Qing army, pretending to be the Qing army guarding Chenglingji, looking in the direction of Yuezhou from time to time, although his face was still calm, but the palms of his hands were sweaty. .

Time ticked by, and as the sky became completely dark, a fire dragon slowly squirmed over from the direction of Yuezhou, but it looked so dazzling in this dark night, lined up in a long line, as if endless.

Zhang Cheng led his personal guards and walked in the middle of the team. He felt a little uneasy, but at night, he didn't notice anything. Except for the wind around him, he couldn't hear anything else.

It's just that the closer he got to Chenglingji, the more panic Zhang Cheng felt in his heart. He subconsciously looked at the Qing soldiers stationed on Chenglingji, wearing uniforms, standing feebly on the wall of the village as usual.

"Who are you?" A rough voice came from the wall of the village, still full of drowsiness, as if just waking up from a dream.

Zhang Cheng's spirit was lifted by this greeting, and he patted his horse to meet him immediately, and said loudly: "This official is Zhang Cheng, the general of Hunan Fubiao, and I have come to take over Chenglingji under the order of Futai. Please hurry up." Open the gate."

A few torches appeared on the city wall, and under the light of the torches, a thick voice appeared. Although he was wearing a shabby uniform of the Qing army, he looked majestic. This made Zhang Cheng a little surprised, why such a man Here is a waste of time, a waste of life.

The man said loudly: "It turned out to be General Zhang, and the villain is Mr. Qian who is stationed in Chenglingji. I met the general at your lord's mansion a few days ago. I didn't expect to see you again this time!"

Zhang Cheng tried his best to recall this person's voice in his mind, but found nothing, and immediately became impatient, and said hastily: "Since you are stationed here with Chief Qian, please open the door quickly, if the military plane is delayed, you will definitely be killed." .”

But the man looked hesitant, "Master Futai also told the villain that this place is a strategic place, you must not let the rebel take advantage of it lightly, if you have the heart, come forward and let me take a look at it." Take a look, I know an adult, if it is an adult, the younger one will open the gate of the village."

Zhang Cheng was furious when he heard the words, and he just wanted to attack Chenglingji with his army, but the situation would become a big mess, so he had to take a few steps forward, and asked the soldiers to light the torches, so that the whole face could be seen clearly. clear.

"And keep your dog eyes wide open to see if it's your grandpa!"

Hearing this, the man in Zhaiqiang Mountain not only was not afraid, but laughed loudly, and then said loudly: "Master Zhang, the golden-faced villain, naturally knows it. It's the first time we meet, and I can't repay you. These grenades are given to you all." .”

As soon as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, before Zhang Cheng understood what he meant, a large row of Qing soldiers appeared on the wall of the village. Each of them held a black iron ball, lit it with a torch, and then threw it down together.
