"Everyone retreats to the top of the hillside, gather the rolling logs on the hillside, and the archers are ready to use rockets!"
Li Yuanchao gritted his teeth and ordered. He walked to the scout, patted the scout's shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, don't be anxious, I will make those bastards from Zuo Zhenwei repay the blood a hundred times a thousand times for the blood that our brothers shed."
return!"
The scout loudly shouted: "General! Now that Zuo Zhenwei has come from far away, we are tired from marching all the way. If the general uses cavalry to attack at night, he will definitely defeat the official army!"
"this……"
Li Yuanchao was stunned, and then he helped the scout up and said, "I will consider your suggestion. Now you go back to the camp for treatment. Have a good rest tonight so you don't have to go into battle."
The scout said hurriedly: "General! The fighter plane is fleeting. Zuo Zhenwei's men and horses are only three miles away from Qingfeng Mountain. They definitely didn't expect that we would fight head-on at this time. We don't need too many men and horses, as long as the general
Our cavalry is sent over to attack from the flank, and the Zuo Zhen Guards will be in chaos!"
"You should go down and rest first. We only have less than a thousand cavalry, and even a night raid will have little effect. It is better not to take risks until I and the generals discuss the strategy against the enemy."
Li Yuanchao patiently explained that he didn't need to say this to this little scout.
"General! Please give me five hundred cavalry, General! No! Three hundred, two hundred cavalry! I promise to kill two thousand enemies! Please grant me, General!"
The scout knelt down on one knee again and begged with tears streaming down his face.
Li Yuanchao sighed and said: "I know that your brothers died in the battle to cover your return. I understand your desire for revenge. But think about it, your brothers are also my brothers. Nineteen of them died in the battle.
It feels just as uncomfortable. I also want to avenge them and kill all those Zuo Zhenwei who should be punished! However, I must consider the overall situation and cannot do things impulsively. Since you are not in my position, it is easier to think about it."
He stopped the scout from speaking, waved his hand and said, "You are tired too, go down and rest."
The scout stood up, opened his mouth, but finally said no more. He stamped his feet fiercely, turned around and left.
"He is a bloody man, Xiao Wu. You can transfer him to my personal guard tomorrow and make him a team leader."
Li Yuanchao sighed and said.
Ten capable men named Hou Wu were Li Yuanchao's personal soldiers. He was in charge of Li Yuanchao's three hundred soldiers and was considered the most trusted person of Li Yuanchao.
"Yes, I will make arrangements early tomorrow morning."
"Don't be too hasty, let him have a good night's rest."
Li Yuanchao put on his helmet, pointed at the foot of the mountain and said, "Brothers! Zuo Zhenwei is about to arrive at the foot of the mountain. Tell me what you are going to do to welcome them!"
"kill!"
His soldiers and generals roared in unison, and their morale was high. However, Li Yuanchao wasted an opportunity to defeat Zuo Zhenwei in one fell swoop. If he had listened to the scout's suggestion just now, he boldly sent out the cavalry.
If we fight head-on, even if we can't defeat Zuo Zhenwei, we may be able to defeat him and make him flee. You must know that Zuo Zhenwei has been traveling for two days without sleep, and is already at the end of his battle. At this time, a thousand soldiers
The cavalry waiting to work was enough to inflict a fatal blow to Zuo Zhenwei. However, Li Yuanchao did not have the courage. He wanted to keep his cavalry as a retreat. Once he could not defeat Zuo Zhenwei, he also counted on these thousand cavalry to escape on his own.
Guard on the road.
In fact, God treats everyone the same. Everyone will get a few fleeting opportunities. Some people seize it and become rich and powerful. Most people do not seize it and live a mediocre life. But Li Yuanchao did not seize it and easily defeated Zuo.
Who knows what price he will pay for Zhen Wei's opportunity?
Two miles away, seeing Qingfeng Mountain already in front of him, Zheng Chao, the great general of Zuo Zhenwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sighed.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it seems we are still a step late."
Li Yi, his general, also said with some disappointment: "Fortunately, Qingfeng Mountain is not a dangerous place. The main force of the Black Flag Army has gone to attack Jiangzhou. There will not be too many people defending here. With the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army,
, can’t stop Zuo Zhenwei’s steps!”
Zheng Chao is forty-two years old this year and has been in the army for twenty-four years. He is one of the few people in the Zhou army who came from a poor family and reached the position of general. In the Zhou Dynasty, one of the representative figures who lost his fame is the Tiger King of the Zhou Dynasty.
The leader of the cavalry is Daduhu Luo Xu. The other one is Zheng Chao, the general of the Zuo Zhenwei. These two people have always been the goals and idols in the minds of the poor people. Zheng Chao can now be one of the twelve generals of the guards.
1. How can those who fantasize about the hardships and efforts involved understand it? Fame is coming soon, at least you must dare to fight and fight hard!
"Don't underestimate the Black Flag Army!"
Zheng Chao said coldly: "You also saw the performance of those scouts just now. Twenty of them were not in a hurry to escape, but actually harassed the army again and again. Using this method of risking death to delay the advance of my army as much as possible, only
Send a man back to report the news. Such a courageous and strategic act, even my Zuo Zhenwei's scouts can't do better! If the Black Flag Army is really so vulnerable, how can it have such excellent scouts?
"
He said with some emotion: "Scouting is not just about gathering information!"
Another general, Li Pu, said: "What the general said is that after defeating Youwei Wei Meng Hu, the courage and quality of the Black Flag Army have indeed improved a lot, and they are much stronger than a year ago."
Zheng Chao said: "So, don't underestimate any enemy on the battlefield! Liu Ling, the loyal king of the Han Dynasty in the north, once said something that I deeply agree with. He said that strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy! This sentence
You must all remember the profound essence of the art of war!"
Everyone bowed and said yes.
If Liu Ling heard this sentence, he would probably blush a little. After he plagiarized Chairman Mao's famous saying, he didn't expect that it was not only circulated among the Han army, but also often quoted by the generals of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Speaking of Liu Ling, what exactly does this person have in mind?"
Li Yi frowned and said: "Sending someone to inform the general that the Black Flag Army is going to attack Jiangzhou, what is he thinking about? Is he trying to make a profit?"
"The fisherman benefits?"
Zheng Chao smiled and said: "It can be said that this is what he had in mind. Liu Ling led his army to capture Jinzhou and captured Jinzhou under the pretext of revenge. But although I, Zhou Dynasty, are now exhausted, how can it be him?
Who can be coveted by the less than 100,000 men under his command? Not to mention the Twelve Guards of my Great Zhou Dynasty, let’s talk about the three green forest thieves in the north now. He is not sure that he can swallow them in one go. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty,
The men and horses under his command alone are not enough!"
Zheng Chao sneered: "It's a good plan to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf. Let's see if he can get his wish!"
Li Yidao: "Why did he think that the general would attack the Black Flag Army? Based on the general's humble opinion, the general might as well join forces with the Black Flag Army to counterattack Liu Ling! As long as Liu Ling is defeated and Jinzhou is recaptured in one fell swoop, the general is in the army.
, the prestige of the DPRK will be unmatched!"
Zheng Chao waved his hand and said: "No"
"Now the Han army has occupied Jinzhou and Cizhou, with a hundred thousand soldiers. Even if we, Zuo Zhenwei and the Black Flag Army join forces, we are not sure of victory. Furthermore, Liu Ling is a wolf, and Xiao Pojun is easy to get along with.
Yes? I’m afraid everyone is planning to use our Zuo Zhenwei to become famous! If we don’t kill them, they will really think that I, Zuo Zhenwei, is a soft persimmon."
Li Pu said: "General, now that the Black Flag Army has occupied Qingfeng Mountain, should we rest for the night and attack again early tomorrow morning?"
Zheng Chao laughed and said: "They are just a bunch of clowns. Tell the children that we will attack Qingfeng Mountain tonight. Our camp will be set up on the top of the mountain. I will watch the sunrise with you all tomorrow morning!"
Everyone laughed. As one of the twelve most elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they all had an indelible pride in their hearts. They said they valued their enemies, but in fact, the Black Flag Army really didn't take them seriously.
"Let the cavalry get out of the way, adjust the heavy crossbows to the foot of the mountain, and attack the mountain after three rounds. Those green forest soldiers don't know how to trap horses in horse pits and trip on horse ropes. They are quite skilled at it. The cavalry can stay at the foot of the mountain.
The giant shield-bearers formed a formation and slowly pressed forward, followed by the archers, then the sword-bearers, and finally the sword-bearers and spearmen!"
"Here!"
The men and horses of the Zuo Zhenwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty slowly and orderly began to gather at the foot of the mountain. The Black Flag Army did not make a surprise attack at night, which made the people of the Zuo Zhenwei even more contemptuous of the enemy. In fact, they never met the Black Flag Army scouts.
After that, Zheng Chao ordered the army to slow down and march in formation, fearing a sneak attack by the Black Flag Army. But he also knew that Zuo Zhenwei, who had been on the road for two consecutive days, might not be able to block the enemy's sneak attack even if he defended himself. The order
What is gratifying is that the guy leading the Black Flag Army has no such insight.
The Zuo Zhenwei is the fastest and most rapidly expanding branch of the Twelve Guards in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The original number of the Twelve Guards was 20,000 horses per guard, equipped with 2,000 cavalry and 18,000 infantry. But since
After the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was corrupted and uprisings continued in various places, the Twelve Guards began to expand their troops under the instruction of the imperial court. At least, Meng Hu's Right Wei Guards also doubled their number of troops. And the Zuo Zhen Guards are now
The army has 60,000 troops, which is three times the original number. Although the expansion of troops is too fast and the combat effectiveness will inevitably decrease, as long as Zheng Chao still has his 4,000 heavy armored infantry, he can still stand out from the crowd.
Most of the troops rested on the spot, and two thousand-man troops formed a formation, and then slowly pressed up the hillside.
Hundreds of giant shield bearers, three of whom were at the front holding a giant shield. Even the armor-breaking awl was powerless against the giant shield, which was as tall as one person. Except for heavy crossbows, almost no weapons could break it.
Use giant shield defense. Of course, except rolling logs.
Behind the giant shield bearer are three hundred archers. They must rely on the defense of the giant shield to press forward. The thin leather armor on their bodies makes the archers' defense ridiculously low. Behind them are hundreds of spearmen with swordsmen.
At the end are the two hundred heavily armored Mo Swordsmen.
"attack!"
Zheng Chao gave an order, and war drums beat on all sides, like thunder exploding in the otherwise peaceful night. (To be continued)
