One hundred and sixtieth chapters Long Shangxing (14)
In the famous and huge Heidiguan courtyard in Yongnian City, Wu'an County, a competition to seize the dragon is being held. Li Ding and his wife are personally in charge. Almost all the officers in the county soldiers come to watch, and the leader of five hundred soldiers
Fan Lihua's subordinates were clearly superior and were killing everyone on the field, almost forcing their opponents into a desperate situation.
Let's say that although she is a female general, she has superb martial arts and profound cultivation. As soon as she joins the army, she has extraordinary cultivation. When she joins the army, she is a little arrogant at first, but she is soon punished by Li Ding.
To be honest, the military regulations and military drills are all good. With Mrs. Li here, it is impossible to defeat them. The dozens of trusted knights who came with them were scattered and couldn't escape, as if they had entered a den of thieves.
In the end, as he gained experience, he gradually became heroic, energetic, and somewhat military-like.
Everyone in the Wu'an County army regarded him as a strange person.
However, Mrs. Li's personal care was very good, and coupled with the relevant family background rumors, no one dared to say matchmaking.
Just when everyone was getting bored watching Fan Lihua's tribe slaughter everyone on the field, he rode into the courtyard and dismounted in front of the Black Emperor's Hall. However, it attracted the attention of almost everyone - according to the rules,
This is first-class military treatment.
A document was passed by Su Jingfang to Li Ding who was sitting in front of the huge statue of Black Emperor. The latter opened it and read it. After only a few glances, he became speechless and handed the document to the captain beside him.
, in the hands of Su Jingfang’s biological father, Su Mu.
Su Mu also laughed after reading:
"Mr. Cao Fu is still deceiving himself! How many soldiers does he have to help? Moreover, a group of county soldiers who have been recruited for less than half a year have fought so many bloody battles and captured thirty battalions of Hejian Camp with so many weapons and horses.
Come and meet? I heard that the army now has three thousand armored cavalry. Not to mention the gathering of masters on the opposite side. Even if he persuades Cui Gong to come out, he is afraid that it will affect Cui Gong's life and the end of the festival. Moreover, the river is smooth now.
, the Eastern Territory can use all its strength to cover the retreat at any time, but to support now is just a matter of death."
"Where is the need for support from the east?" Li Ding also sneered. "Cao Shancheng's troops are tight, but he can only have four cities and one line. The result is that one city is defeated and none of the lines are lost, and the whole game is lost... If Zhang San is too lazy to care, he just chooses
There is nothing to say if a weak one is defeated head-on. He can only go directly to Gaotang, which has the most elite soldiers and the tallest city, and pretends to besiege the city... That is to deliberately be evil and use Cao Shancheng's dead horse as a living horse doctor.
He just wants to use this person to hook other fish. As I expected, it is possible that some city has secretly surrendered to him."
"Then we don't want to go?" Su Mu asked seriously.
"Go, let the whole army set off, and you will be the vanguard." Li Ding sighed. "In this way, we can ask Wei and Ji for food, weapons, and rewards, and then we can seize the Zongcheng and arrange it properly."
Zongcheng is a county to the west of Qinghe River, and it also happens to be on the west side of Qingzhang River. Li Ding is very aware of Zhang Xing's strategic plan and the power of the court, as well as the military and political bottom lines of both sides, so this is called taking the opportunity to ask for a drink of soup.
It's also cowardly.
Su Mu woke up and stood up straight away and handed over his hands.
In late March, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhang Xing waited under Gaotang City for three days without moving.
"So, the soldiers and horses of Wu'an County stopped at Zongcheng, and the soldiers and horses of Xiangguo County stopped at Jingcheng?" Zhang Xing, wearing a white cloak, stood on the rammed earth general platform that had just been formed outside the city, half-smiling but not smiling.
No one around said anything. After a while, Wei Xuanding twisted his beard and smiled awkwardly: "It's normal, they are not stupid."
It's not stupid. Jingcheng County is in the northwest corner of Qinghe County and on the other side of Qingzhang River. It is to Xiangguo County just like Zongcheng County is to Wu'an County.
"Actually, these two families are not from the same group as Qinghe. Xiangguo and Wu'an both receive more support from Taiyuan, so they are from the same group. Qinghe, Wuyang, Weijun and Jijun are all from the east capital. If we really want to
Looking at reinforcements, we still have to count on Wei and Jijun." Chen Bin stood aside to smooth things over. "Jijun and Weijun troops may come."
"I can't come." As he spoke, Xiong Bonan came on stage behind him and spoke simply. "Xu Dalang sent a message saying that Qu Tuda sent troops from Ji County and combined forces with Wuyang County soldiers and horses. They looked very strong, but they were gone in just one day.
A county along the river has an extra three thousand soldiers to protect it. Wuyang County is halfway through, and it is estimated that ten thousand people will be left by the river. Then there was a message from Wuyang just now, which means that Wei County and Ji County have already
After discussing it, we finally joined forces and stopped at the Tangyi-Liaocheng line to see if we could pull out Cao Shancheng or Xue Wanbi...especially Cao Shancheng. It is said that Emperor Cao of the Eastern Capital had spoken."
"If Cao Shancheng doesn't mention it, can we do something in Tangyi and Liaocheng?" Zhang Dalongtou was obviously unwilling.
"It's difficult." It was Wang Shuyong who spoke. "The main reason is that it is too far away from us, and the area along the river is too heavily guarded. Any movement in the east will be noticed..."
"What if Chiping and Zhangnan can just let go?" Zhang Xing hesitated before telling the key information.
Unexpectedly, the leaders who knew this news for the first time only glanced at each other a few times, but there was not much surprise.
"If you let Zhangnan go, you can directly capture Wucheng and Qinghe, cutting off the overall situation of Qinghe. If you let Chiping go, you can easily surround Boping, but if you hope to encircle Liaocheng and Tangyi in one fell swoop, it's still difficult... because
The three cities form a triangle. Boping and Liaocheng are fifty miles apart, while Tangyi is seventy miles away from the two cities." After hesitating, Xu Shiren also participated in the discussion. "I hope that I can't cover such a large area if I am caught off guard.
local.”
"The most important thing is the strength of the troops and the lack of reconnaissance." Chen Bin said sternly. "The three thousand soldiers of the three armored cavalry battalions, plus the four thousand soldiers of the two light cavalry battalions, totaling seven thousand cavalry, can't be used directly."
Baotangyi and Liaocheng. However, Tangyi and Liaocheng belong to Wuyang County, and as has been stated just now, the reinforcements from Wei County and Ji County will also pass by. The number of troops and horses is not known. If the situation is unclear, they may not be able to stop them.
, in order to prevent others from alerting others, our sentries did not spread so far, and we had to consider the risks..."
Zhang Xing nodded slowly: "Indeed, we don't have the experience of outflanking a large army, and once we bite off more than we can chew, we will easily be choked, not to mention being frightened by the victory again."
No one was prepared to say any more.
Shan Tonghai, on the other hand, frowned and stepped forward: "But let me tell you, Zhang Longtou, because he doesn't have this kind of outflanking experience, we should try it while the overall situation is in our favor, because we can't contain him at this time.
, the later advance will be faster, and the losses will not be too great. Unless we try again when we are forced to do so, we will be completely defeated. And it is necessary to cross the border and eat something to scare the surrounding states and counties, right?"
The generals were still silent, but they just came to see Zhang Xing.
It should be noted that this is not only because the leader Shan wants to sing the opposite, but also because this guy is leading one of the three battalions of armored cavalry in the newly reorganized battalion, which makes sense from the perspective of the deployment of military arms.
Of course, this kind of question depends on whether you are a revolutionary optimist or a revolutionary pessimist. If you are optimistic, it means that Rendan Tonghai is not afraid of war, takes the initiative to seek war, and is not afraid to contradict his superiors, making the army full of revolutionary vitality;
To be pessimistic, the military, which was originally a chaotic mess on the hilltops, will soon have new problems due to the military units and camps created by this reorganization.
Of course, Zhang Dalongtou is a revolutionary optimist. After thinking for a moment, he immediately nodded: "What Leader Shan said makes sense. He was indeed one of the three pillars of our army when we founded the gang. He has a certain style of advancing with the times.
...Then can we just try to use cavalry to outflank a closer Liaocheng?"
I don’t know if it’s a compliment at the beginning, but later on I’m asking others for new plans.
"But using the cavalry on Baolia City will ensure that Boping is besieged properly? What if Cao Shancheng takes the opportunity to escape?" Dou Lide asked seriously. "I don't want to delay the meritorious service of the cavalry brothers. Liu Heifu, who I brought with me, also
He leads a battalion of Qingqi, but the brothers from Hebei want Qinghe to come back safely as soon as possible, stop causing trouble, and return to their hometown as soon as possible."
"Don't be afraid, Cao Shancheng will not escape on his own initiative." Zhang Xing was quite sure of this point.
"Then we can outflank Liaocheng first!" Shan Tonghai couldn't wait. "The cavalry will encircle Liaocheng. I will lead them, and the infantry will encircle Boping later."
"But there are no troops stationed in Liaocheng yet. It's just news now." Chen Bin reminded slowly. "We can't make a set strategy just because of a piece of news. Military rations are precious and cannot be wasted."
"Well, the deadline is the day after tomorrow." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Let Guo Jingke send the scouts over... If the Wei thieves have less than 10,000 troops entering Liaocheng tomorrow and the next day, they will follow the strategy of the single leader; if
No, we will launch a full-scale launch in the future, sending troops from Chiping, surrounding Boping, sending troops from Zhangnan, and going directly to the county to control Qinghe; but we must also consider the situation where the other party has too many reinforcements, or goes directly to Boping...
Let the staff make a detailed plan, and don't run out of plans before the battle. If you have any ideas, please go to my tent to talk to the staff and discuss the plan together. Then go back to camp and prepare for sending troops, but don't disturb the city."
Everyone cupped their hands and naturally followed the words and left.
However, Chen Bin followed Zhang Xing closely, lagging slightly behind, and took the initiative to remind: "Longtou, the stall is getting bigger and bigger. Apart from me, the public security internal affairs officer, Leader Yan is responsible for the personnel review, and several leaders directly under him are actually obviously still...
There are three serious assistants missing...the so-called Sima, Internal History, and Jijiu... Even those who join the army should give a few outstanding ones extra grades so that they are qualified to compete with the leaders, otherwise they will have to do everything.
You were there."
Zhang Xing nodded: "Military Assistant Officer, Clerical Assistant Officer, Foreign Affairs Etiquette Assistant... The last one can actually be done by Xie Minghe, clerical..."
"Ci Erlang, the clerk, is quite suitable."
"Let's see what he says. There should be no big problem after this war, but the military commander is in a dilemma... The foundation of the gang is that powerful people come with private soldiers, so this is the battalion head system. There is a little bit of
The thought of leading soldiers is to be the chief officer of the first battalion. It is really difficult to find someone who is qualified to compete with the big bosses for military affairs."
"But don't rush it. Take your time. Anyway, military is the biggest problem. The leader will always personally deal with it, and everyone will be a counselor."
"If Cao Shancheng can surrender, it would be inappropriate." Zhang Xing made a hellish joke.
Chen Bin couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a pity." After laughing, Chen Binfu sighed again... He knows the military, is serious, and is not afraid of authority. He is indeed perfect.
Zhang Xing also shook his head, but instinctively thought of Zhang Shizhao who was far away in Jiyin... Zhang Shizhao said that day that after the stalls were opened, in order to ensure the stability of the system and personal authority, multiple independent but intersecting stalls should be set up.
The team...and the development of things now is actually gradually consistent with what Zhang Shizhao said that day.
He was thinking that if Zhang Shizhao could come and be a strategic assistant, it would not be very suitable, and his internal reference team would have a real ballast stone.
Of course, just thinking about it, Zhang Dalongtou knew very well that Zhang Shizhao, who was known as Zhang Shizhao, was the de facto early strategic assistant of the sage in Jiangdu. He personally made plans and implemented the plans to dismember the Wu clan, clean up the internal military separatism, and sweep away the Eastern Han Dynasty.
A series of strategies of Yi, and it can be said that they were relatively perfect until the final conquest of Dongyi.
As for the bad things that happened later, to put it bluntly, it was not a problem with his brain, right?
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Shizhao probably just wants to provide for his retirement. If he and the gang succeed in the end, this guy will just be an idle official, popping up from time to time to make some bright-looking suggestions. If the gang wants
If it collapses, he will definitely jump ship.
As for Zhang Shizhao being willing to invest his heart and work seriously, he essentially needs something, something that can convince the former Nanya Prime Minister or arouse his interest.
But Zhang Xing doesn't have this thing yet, and he doesn't know if he can get it, or even what it is.
All I can say is that the road ahead is long and difficult.
With a little extra thought before the battle, Zhang Xing returned to the military tent, and the military tent took advantage of the gang's mixed backgrounds as always - a quarter of the people were seriously discussing military affairs, and half of the people remained silent and only talked about
But the rest of the people were sitting around the door outside the tent, talking about the "Three Pillars", "Four Heavenly Kings", "Nine Liu Queens", "Five Biao Generals", "Eleven Taibao" and the like.
I don’t know how a casual sentence can lead to so many opinions.
And what's interesting is that most of the rankings exclude Wei Xuanding, Xiong Bonan, and Bai Yousi, and no one mentioned the "two-headed dragon" again.
There was nothing to say that day. At noon the next day, the scouts came to report that Qu Tuda and Wei Commandery Governor Yuan Gonggan led an army of 10,000 to Tangyi. However, in Liaocheng it was only Wuyang Commandery Governor Yuan Baocun and Yecheng Palace.
Ambassador Lu Daobin and his five thousand troops arrived in Liaocheng.
Obviously, they don't know that the army has completed a new round of army reorganization and established an organic cavalry. They are only worried about outflanking the east border from the waterway, so they let the two important ministers take on a marginal task... Come to think of it, they are helping us.
It was sent to the west just after the army was reorganized. There is really no reason for the officers and soldiers to know this information and make appropriate military arrangements.
The fighter opportunity must not be abandoned, especially when the most ideal situation appeared, so Zhang Xing summoned the generals that day and formally issued a military order at the Chinese army's main tent.
"The south road starts from Chiping. We gather three battalions of armored cavalry and two battalions of light cavalry, namely Shan Tonghai, Cheng Zhili, Zhou Xingfan, Liu Heifu, and Fan Bao. Five battalions of seven thousand cavalry are assembled. The leader Shan Tonghai is the marching general, and the leader Cheng Zhili is
As deputy, with the assistance of Guo Jingke from the scout battalion and Lu Mingyue from the navy battalion, he attacked and surrounded Liaocheng;
"The North Road starts from the south of Zhangnan. Dou Lide, the big leader who was born in Qinghe and Zhangnan, is the marching general. Zhai Qian, the big leader, is the deputy. Together with Zhuge Dewei and Shang Huaien, Cheng named five battalions with 10,000 soldiers and marched along the Zhang River.
Advance rapidly, heading straight towards Wucheng and Qinghe County to govern Qinghe County.
"On the middle road, Wei Xuanding is the commander-in-chief, Liu Zhouchen is the military legal supervisor, the leader Wang Shuyong is the marching general, the leader Niuda is the deputy, Xu Shiren is the deputy, together with Zhang Shanxiang, Tang Bairen, Xu Kaitong, Wang Fubei has 16,000 soldiers from the eight battalions.
Cross Gaotang and attack Boping directly.
"As the commander-in-chief, Longtou continued to besiege Gaotang with 10,000 troops from King Xiongtian, Jia Yue, Fu Boshi, Wang Xiongdan, and Feng Duanwu."
Obviously, except for Gao Shitong, Fan Wang, Hao Yide, Xiahou Ningyuan, Ma Ping'er and other five battalions who were protecting the northern line, the rest of Hebei's troops were all out.
"Would there be some instability in the city?" After Chen Bin finished reading, someone asked with concern. "Xue Wanbi is a brave general after all."
"A brave man has only courage and nothing else. He is just brave. In front of the military formation of King Xiongtian and me, he is nothing but a mantis." Standing in the middle of the military tent, Zhang Xing stood in the middle of the military tent and answered in a cold voice before Chen Bin.
After pausing for a moment, he looked around again and gave instructions: "The war is about to begin. There shouldn't be any more explanations, but I think you all know what I still have to say... That is that the fight in Ma Lian River has been hasty. Immediately
It's spring plowing again, and the gang's reputation in Hebei is only half-baked. For this march, I want you to be brave and decisive, and the battle is fierce and fierce. I also want you to be majestic and frighten the reinforcements from all over Hebei. I also want you to be disciplined and disciplined along the way.
No matter whether it is an autumn hair or a spring hair, there must be no crime, and all seizures and military achievements must be fair, just and open, and set an example! I want everything in this battle! I want the people of Hebei to know that no one can drive away the help!
"
By the end of the conversation, he was already a bit energetic and had a faint use of his true energy.
In the military tent, all the staff documents were on both sides. Dozens of leaders shouted and responded loudly when they heard the words. Many birds had already been frightened. Although they did not dare to say "Zhenwa", they could also be called "Jinghong".
In the afternoon, on the tall tower of Gaotang City, Xue Wanbi, whose eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, supported the city wall and watched as the camp of the gang under the city began to be launched in a big way. Countless people on horseback went in batches to three directions in an orderly manner.
Full of anxiety and anger.
To send troops at this time, and also to send troops directly behind them, it is obvious that either reinforcements have arrived, or there is something directly wrong with the so-called four-point and one-line arrangement... The latter possibility is greater, or in other words, infinite.
For a moment, Xue Laosi felt a trace of regret and anger with his father, but he was soon suppressed by his original anger and shame.
To be fair, among the seven Xue brothers, the eldest brother entered the court early and became a civil servant due to the family transformation. The other six brothers are all working in the army and are somewhat vulgar warriors, but vulgar martial arts also have to be classified into different levels.
For example, Xue Laosi was a negative example in other aspects, but as a general and a brave man, he was probably the most accomplished among the Xue family.
At least he dares to fight and kill without fear of death, and he does have a skill!
As the saying goes, if you rush forward in one breath, you will probably be laughed at by many smart people if you lose nine times out of ten, but if you win, you can also laugh at many smart people in turn.
Not to mention the arrangements when he went back in the afternoon that day, late at night, Xue Wanbi ordered the entire army to break out. He lowered the suspension bridge, opened the four gates, and at the same time cut off the moat, suspended the rope directly from the wall, and sent troops from all directions at the same time. This move
To break through when the army's strength is at its lowest is also to carry out a night raid when the camp is too empty.
Regardless of success or failure, it's just a matter of life and death, destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven, that's all.
However, any luck quickly disappeared. Less than a moment into the battle, that is, after soldiers and horses from all walks of life successfully poured into the stronghold of the four armies, drums suddenly sounded, and then the drums sounded in all the camps in all directions, and then each village lit up their preparations.
The huge fires illuminated each camp as if it were daylight, and immediately the well-prepared troops came out of each camp.
For a time, all parties under Xue Wanbi's command were blocked in the first half of the camp, unable to enter or escape.
The generals' platform in front of the Chinese army's tent was brightly lit, and all the generals were gathered.
The flag with the word "Deposed" on the red background was actually erected early and waiting for it.
It was obvious that the army had either guessed it, or had obtained the relevant information, or had been prepared for it. Anyway, he was well prepared.
"Chen Bin! Chen Gou! Chen Gou!"
Xue Wanbi, who had already rushed into the enemy camp, only glanced at the banner. Even if he couldn't see the specific person at all, he shouted out the name with hatred at the first moment - with this person here, it seemed that all the truth and falsehood of his father and son could be easily seen through by thieves.
, the army has also become leaky from all sides. "Thieves who betray their master!!"
In fact, this is indeed the case. Cui Erlang said that after Zhangnan and Chiping were surrendered, Chen Bin was not idle either. He was the Sima Supervisor of the Hejian Camp and knew the soldiers and personnel of Xue Wanbi's tribe very well, so he pressed the button early.
After a few warnings, Xue Wanbi made up his mind to break out of the encirclement this afternoon, and the news came down from the city.
"This man is making a lot of noise." Although he couldn't hear clearly what the other party was shouting, Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the general stage, turned his head and looked at Xiong Bonan. "Heavenly King, it is a blessing that this battle can go so smoothly. There is no need to cause trouble. Please also invite the King of Heaven.
Don't hold back, suppress this person quickly! After the city is broken, I will ask Jia Yue and others to help you!"
"No need!"
Xiong Bonan answered proudly, but turned to look at the big flag behind Zhang Xing. "Just lend me this flag."
Zhang Xing's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded and didn't even ask if he wanted to warm a pot of wine?
As for Xue Wanbi, who was ambushed due to the leak of military information and knew it was unbearable, and knew that it would be difficult to gather the troops, he wanted to jump up and take the opportunity to escape. However, he had a fierce temperament.
He then led his personal guards in the camp to charge and kill, preparing to kill as many people as possible before leaving.
Unexpectedly, the army did not leave any room. They had just rushed here. They saw a purple light dragging its tail like a meteor and hit him in front of him. He immediately realized who it was, and then he yelled and hurriedly
Abandoning the horse, he prepared to leap and flee.
But at this moment, the tail of the purple light in front of him suddenly turned, and actually rolled up a huge purple infuriating barrier, as if a huge piece of cloth appeared out of thin air, covering him completely from the air.
Xue Wanbi collided head-on, and felt a huge force coming towards him, but he had no way to fight back. He actually lost his strength in mid-air, and was knocked to the ground again by the direct energy.
In fact, there was no need to touch him at all. When he was in the air, Xue Laosi was already frightened and lost his temper, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
After a long while, he got up with difficulty. Looking at the giant man holding the flag in front of him, Xue Wanbi had only one thought in his mind - it's over, this person has achieved great success in the elixir contemplation, and my life is at stake!
However, love and knowledge cannot be spared. The next moment, Xue Wanbi gritted his teeth, regardless of the pain all over his body, picked up the long stick, filled up his energy, and rushed towards the person in front of him.
Unexpectedly, just as he started, the giant man in front of him waved the flag again, rolling out a curtain made of purple infuriating energy. Xue Laosi was once again rolled up in the air, and then fell heavily.
Xue Wanbi got up for the third time, only to feel pain in all his limbs, and his whole body was weak. His Dantian was a little sore in the dark, but he still roared with all his strength, like a wolf howling, but gritted his teeth and forced the release of his energy, as if he was ready to be broken.
The Dantian seeks a moment of fierceness, and the mentality of killing one is enough.
But how could Xiong Bonan make him succeed? He had already stood firm and his true energy was flowing continuously. He just needed to use his true energy to roll up the big flag in his hand. Xue Laosi was hit by the huge purple true energy rolled out three times.
It was caught, then lifted up into the air three times, and then slammed to the ground again.
Not only that, this time, although Xue Wanbi was knocked down, he was not released from the restraints of the infuriating energy at all, but was still rolled up in the purple infuriating cloth curtain. Xiong Bonan came and went repeatedly, and was rolled up on the hard ground of the camp.
This person hit the opponent about a dozen times, almost turning him into dumpling stuffing, and then he just threw it away.
As for the thousands of people under Xue Wanbi, from the personal guards on down, they were completely disorganized and struggled in confusion for about half an hour, trying to decide whether they would die or surrender.
