Chapter 87
Careering
Having made up his mind, Kou Zhizhang moved his position towards the inner wall as if nothing had happened: he could not only listen closely to the conversation between the two, but also not let them notice him, lest he could not escape for a while and make a mistake.
event.
Just listen to Qi Xiaoguang continue to say: "General Sun heard the police and immediately led the thousand-year-old guard to welcome the thieves. This is a great act of justice. He has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies and is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery. This officer is truly impressed and grateful. Therefore, I would like to say a few personal words to the general.
General, are you willing to listen?"
Sun Fugui didn't understand Wen Zou Zou's "generousness" or "admiration", but Qi Xiaoguang still understood the general meaning. He blinked and clasped his fists and said, "I will all obey your orders."
Qi Xiaoguang smiled and said in plain language: "Let's not tell whether the thieves are deceiving or not. Let's just ignore it. If we counterattack, what does the general think about the outcome?"
Sun Fugui glanced at the outside of the wall and said proudly: "What a complete victory! The thieves have been exhausted for so long after attacking for so long, and now they are wasting away at work without any effort. Later, the thieves will take the last few hundred
All the personal guards came over to kill a few unlucky ghosts to supervise the battle. We only had to hold on for this round, which only took one or two sticks of incense, and then suddenly launched. The cavalry refused to fight, went straight to Xin'an, closed the city gate, and abandoned their horses to die against the wall.
Hold on for a while, cut off the thieves' retreat, and leave the rest to the infantry who follow. The thieves will never have the energy to go back and climb the Xin'an city wall again. The thieves may get on the boat and run to the other side to escape for a few days with their lives.
, it is very likely that none of the other thieves will be able to escape!"
Qi Xiaoguang asked doubtfully: "No one can escape? There is a river in the south, but the thieves can run north to the mountains?"
Sun Fugui laughed loudly: "Sir, think about it, after being hungry and tired for most of the day, can the thieves outrun our son who has retreated and rested for nearly two hours? Moreover, if he only wants to escape for his life, as long as he sees the army's counterattack,
, The thief must have been running as fast as he could. I dare say that many people would run away and have their lungs blown out without even being able to get up the mountain. All they had to do was go over and cut off their heads. I have never seen this with my own eyes before."
Qi Xiaoguang suddenly realized: "Haha, General Sun still knows the enemy!" Then, with a serious look on his face, he said softly, "That's why I want to stop the general."
Hearing this, from the corner of his eye, he saw Sun Fugui's eyes widening as he waited for Qi Xiaoguang's next words. Kou Zhizhang let out a disdainful "hum" in his heart: Stupid pig and bull, don't you give any credit to others? You are such an idiot.
, he actually acted as a commander!
Sure enough, Qi Xiaoguang patiently lowered his voice and said: "The provincial capital and various prefectures have sent reinforcements. Our first success is to defend Hangu Pass. Such great achievements are firmly in the hands of Chitose Prefecture and our own prefecture. Everyone can grab them."
I won’t go. However, I’ve come all the way and worked so hard for nothing, and it makes everyone feel uncomfortable, right? That’s not the most important thing!” At this point, he lowered his voice even more.
He lowered his head and almost whispered to Sun Fugui: "You think, we can kill all the thieves in three days. The Holy Lord is certainly happy, but... it will also make other friendly forces look a bit... well, it won't help, right?
?The Holy One may not say it, but he can't guarantee that other friendly forces and the adults in various governments will not think about it in their hearts! Then, this dispute will be formed for no reason! Don't say that if there is any trouble in the future, everyone may not be willing to come and help.
We, maybe there will be a little stumbling block for us at some point...General Sun, do you think this is the case?"
Sun Fugui slapped his head: "Oh my God! Your Excellency is so right! I am a rough man, and I have never thought about all these twists and turns! It is often said in our camp that if you eat meat for yourself, you must also give it to your brothers.
It’s the same reason why we leave the soup to drink.”
Qi Xiaoguang smiled and nodded: "That's what I mean."
Kou Zhizhang was impatient and continued to listen. He kept in mind what Sun Fugui said about the strategy of taking Xin'an directly. He walked a few steps further away pretending to be nonchalant and secretly observed the movement below the city. He waited for Guan Shengyun to mobilize his guards to come forward.
Supervising the battle, I was about to launch a counterattack. I thought happily: Haha, this is great! I didn’t expect that this attack would not only gain credit for the victory, but also all the governments would record their accounts to King Shou and Qi Xiao.
Bald head - I am just a deputy general in Luoyang now, so I have been ordered to go to war... After this great victory, should I open the town? Well, the general officer! In the Ming Dynasty, there are only more than twenty general officers in total.
We are one of them! Let's see who dares to look down on Kou in the future, oh, no, Commander Kou! Hahaha... I thought to myself, and couldn't help grinning.
Smiling, he suddenly remembered something, and walked to the flag and drum team again. He glanced at Qi Xiaoguang and Sun Fugui. Seeing that they were still chatting and not paying attention to him, he stretched out his hand to point to a few people holding gongs.
Soldier: "You, you, you guys, get off the wall and wait for the general's orders at the gate of the city!"
Now that these two guys have decided that they can't get anything, when they find out later that they lead a counterattack, they will definitely call for gold and withdraw their troops! Humph, let's take all these soldiers away, and wait for a big victory, and our brother-in-law will protect them.
, who can do anything to us? The smart Vice General Kou thought of all this... However, his feet were far away from the two of them, and the smart Vice General He also missed the conversation between the two.
Sun Fugui observed carefully for a while and said hesitantly to Qi Xiaoguang: "Sir, why does the general feel that something is wrong?"
Qi Xiaoguang was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "What should I say? What's wrong?"
Sun Fugui pointed to a dozen small boats in the river and said, "Sir, if you look at those boats, you will finally feel that something is wrong!"
Qi Xiaoguang looked at it for a long time and found nothing unusual. Just as he was about to ask a question, Sun Fugui said: "The general also just discovered it. At first, the general thought those ships should be carrying gold and silver that thieves had stolen from various states and counties.
There will also be some female relatives, and a few soldiers will be sent to each ship to control them. When the barrier is broken, they will leave with the main force of the thieves."
Qi Xiaoguang continued: "I think so too. Why, through the ship's planks and awnings, can General Sun see what's wrong?"
Sun Fugui said: "Sir, it was because we couldn't see anything through the canopy that the general discovered it! Sir, think about it, we can't see the people on the boat, and the people on the boat can't see us! We have been fighting for so long.
, Logically speaking, there should be someone on the boat who is looking out to see the battlefield, right? The general looked at it for a long time, and there were more than a dozen ships, but not one of them had his head exposed! This doesn’t make sense! The general couldn’t say anything, but something must be wrong!”
When Sun Fugui said this, Qi Xiaoguang suddenly realized something, but he couldn't say it in his eagerness. There seemed to be a layer of fog in front of his eyes. He knew what danger was hidden behind the fog, but he couldn't see through it or catch it!
At this moment, a long trumpet sounded from the opposite side, followed by a loud drumbeat, and the several hundred soldiers in front of the general's flag shouted in unison and stepped forward to join the battlefield!
Qi Xiaoguang stared intently at the hundreds of thieves who had just come up, and his scholarly eyes also noticed the problem: the thieves came so quickly - their legs were wearing cloth trousers, no armor skirts, and they were only wearing half-breastplate armor.
!
The fog covering my eyes suddenly dispersed!
Until now, we have not seen a few thieves wearing armor at all, and the proportion of thieves holding shields is a bit too large - how could such thieves defeat Lingbao, Shaanzhou like the Bamboo Divine Soldier descending from the sky?
, Mianchi, Xin'an, and blocked the information so tightly at the same time, that he was almost kept in the dark?
The only answer can only be: these are not the main force of thieves!
So - where is the main force of thieves?!
"Sir, there is a fraud!" Sun Fugui also discovered the problem!
However, it's too late...
Seeing Guan Shengyun sending the "guards" up for the "final struggle," Kou Zhizhang did not hesitate, walked quickly off the horse track, came to the counterattack team sitting under the inner wall, and ordered loudly: "Drive away the ox carts."
!Everyone prepares for war! Counterattack!"
In normal times, Cai Wenying, the magistrate of Xin'an County who is responsible for organizing Dingzhuang, would not pay attention to this guy who doesn't want to see anyone. But a script has stepped into the gate of hell and was pulled back by Qi Xiaoguang. After two lifetimes, everyone including this guy...
A large group of warriors marched over in their own territory (although the defense of Xinhanguguan Pass is directly under the jurisdiction of Luofu, it can indeed be regarded as the jurisdiction of Xin'an) and defended it with blood and sweat. At this time, they did not dare to talk about the different paths of civil and military affairs.
Nonsense - the military plane was delayed, and the life he had just saved was lost again! So he hurriedly responded and directed the young men to work together to fetch the cows.
Guan Peizhong belonged to the Royal Guards and only recognized his direct superiors. He didn't pay much attention to the local military attachés and asked: "Where is the commander?"
Kou Zhizhang responded casually: "General Zhu is selecting elite troops for backup in the city. Let's charge first, and he will lead others to follow."
Guan Peizhong cupped his fists and bowed, saying: "I am humble enough to ask you to show me your command of arrows."
Kou Zhizhang didn't expect that there were such rules in the king's camp, so he bluffingly defended himself: "Time is urgent. General Zhu may have forgotten to give it for a moment, and I didn't have time to ask for it. Hurry up and get on the horse, otherwise you will delay the important matter."
You’re asking!”
The bullock cart dragged the huge stone blocking the gate away, and the banging sound at the city gate changed from dull to loud.
Guan Peizhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. Yuan Wu, a senior military officer from Luofu who came with Kou Zhizhang to help, hurriedly said: "Mr. Guan Qian, none of us can afford to be blamed for delaying the war! My deputy commander,
Will I still lie to you? Humph, if Mr. Guan Qian is afraid of the thief, then please get out of the way and watch us kill the thief and make a contribution!"
"What are you talking about! I'm afraid, afraid, afraid of these thieves?! I, I..." Guan Peizhong, whose legs were burning and aching, was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Kou Zhizhang sneered and shouted: "Well said! If you are afraid of the thieves, get out of the way and watch us make meritorious deeds! Listen to the order: The cavalry and soldiers will follow me directly to Xin'an and block the thieves' escape. Don't be greedy for the first-class meritorious deeds."
, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! After the battle, everyone will be at the bottom of the first level! The infantry will follow and chase down the thieves! Open the city gate and kill the thieves!"
Half of the palace guards were guarding behind closed doors, and the other half were taking turns to rest. The gatekeepers were all guardsmen from Luofu and Xin'an Dingzhuang. After hearing Kou Zhizhang's order, they opened the city gate without hesitation!
There was a loud bang, and the moment the city gate latch was lifted, the city gate was suddenly knocked open, and the large crash car covered with bruises plunged in! The soldiers who worked together to push the door closed could not withstand the huge momentum and were
Bumped out - Originally, according to the normal practice, when the door latch was removed, the soldiers would work together to hold the city gate, and then let go at the moment when the hammer swung back. But the people from Luofu were all new soldiers, so they cooperated
There was far from a tacit understanding, and the moment the door latch was raised, the hammer hit him head-on.
The car only moved forward two or three steps due to its inertia and then stopped. Unexpectedly, the thieves pushing the cart suddenly opened the city gate from the inner hole. They screamed in terror and fled in all directions. Kou Zhizhang didn't even look at a few of them on the ground.
The wallowing and wailing city gate guards hurriedly ordered: "Push it away and kill the thief!"
The moment they hit the roof of the car and entered, everyone was surprised. However, no large group of thieves rushed over. After calming down for a while, everyone looked out through the city gate hole. In the field of vision, the thieves were all scurrying away - hehe, there was no way to escape.
Not only the dozen thieves pushing the cart, but also the thieves attacking the city began to flee! Obviously, seeing the city gate open, the exhausted thieves knew that the large army of officers and soldiers were about to launch a decisive counterattack, and they just wanted to escape!
"Kill the thief!" Seeing this, Yuan Wu, who was a little scared at first, suddenly felt a surge of pride in his chest. In order to show his face again in front of Deputy Commander Kou, he shouted loudly and rode his horse past Guan Peizhong.
, and at the same time, he also sneered, "Hahahahaha..."
The extremely angry Guan Peizhong got on his horse, picked up the gun from the saddle ring, and cursed incoherently: "xxx! Let's see which one is the scared bitch and which one is the grandson!" He also forgot about the pain,
With a sudden squeeze of his legs, he galloped into the battlefield!
Chapter completed!
