After entering the hall, everyone took their seats one by one. After Hao Dayong sat down, he looked at Pang Gang meaningfully and said with a smile: "Pang Baihu, I just asked my colleagues about you, and I didn't expect that you really couldn't help but read,
You're here as soon as I tell you. Even if you're here, you can also talk about how to deal with the enemy."
"What do you all say?" Pang Gang asked without answering.
"Canine Tooth Mountain is less than fifty miles away from Lingshan Guards Station. According to reports from spies at night, there are nearly 500 bandits. Our guard can only send more than 400 troops. Even with the addition of Pang Bai
There are only more than 500 elite soldiers brought by the household, which is equivalent to the number of bandits, so this battle is quite difficult." Hao Dayong was not in a good mood. After arriving at the Lingshan Guardhouse, he found that the situation in the guardhouse was worse than
He imagined it was even worse. Yesterday, he inspected the garrison troops that had been assembled at the guard station. He found that although most of the garrison troops were young and strong, they all lacked the training spirit and lacked the fighting spirit.
The one hundred and twenty elite soldiers he had just brought made him feel a little relieved.
"Master Da Da, I heard in Qingzhou that the commanding officer appreciates you very much. Today, you might as well give me some advice so that I and others can gain knowledge." At this time, a Baihu who had been standing behind Hao Dayong spoke.
, but when Pang Gang heard these words, he felt that there was a strange smell of yin and yang.
Pang Gang shook his head, "I am a rough man, and I will do whatever you want to do with your humble position. I believe that thieves are thieves after all, and my officers and soldiers from the Ming Dynasty will naturally run away as soon as they arrive."
After hearing this, a look of disdain appeared on the face of the hundred households, "Pang Gang's words are wrong. Although the bandits are vulnerable to a single blow, they must be careful. Otherwise, it will be bad like the last time they attacked Wangjiatun."
Already."
Pang Gang was furious in his heart. Although he had benefited a lot from the last battle at Wangjiatun and therefore took the position of Hundred Households, this battle was really a shame for Lingshan Guards. As Pang Gang was a subordinate of Lingshan Guards, this
When Ming Baihu said this, he was clearly mocking Pang Gang, saying that he was using Pao Ze's body to climb up!
Pang Gang, who was furious in his heart, narrowed his eyes, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and asked with a sneer: "This lord looks very unfamiliar to me. What is your surname?"
Seeing Shangguan getting angry, Wang Zhi and Heitie behind Pang Gang also glared at him.
This Baihu met Pang Gang's gaze without showing any signs of weakness, and said with a sneer: "I, Qingzhou Baihu Black Iron, am a nobody. It's not surprising that Pang Baihu doesn't recognize me."
"Oh, Master Hei seems to have some high opinions on how to eradicate the banditry in Dog Tooth Mountain. I wonder if you can tell Mr. Pang?"
"Don't take it seriously. Since ancient times, marching and fighting have always been about "victory with righteousness and surprise." According to my humble opinion, we should first send out night guards (scouts) to cut off the ears and eyes of the bandits, and then the big army can press forward to defeat them.
Qiankun." Faced with the looks of Pang Gangji and others, Heitie didn't take it seriously, and said the words calmly with a sullen face.
"Oh, so Mr. Hei is still confident, so why are you asking me? Mr. Hao, I have to leave my humble position in advance!" Pang Gang, who was angry in his heart, did not want to be treated like a bird here, and raised his hand towards Hao Dayong.
He turned around and was about to walk out of the hall. The officers were unwilling to let him go, but several members of the Lingshan Guard stopped him.
Hao Da glared at Heitie angrily and cursed: "Hei Baihu, as an officer of the Ming Dynasty, this is how you treat your colleagues! Why don't you apologize to Pang Da quickly!"
A sharp light flashed in Heitie's eyes, and he said to Pang Gang with a smile on his face: "Don't blame me, Da Da. I am a rough man. I have offended you with my words just now. Please forgive me!"
Pang Gang snorted coldly and sat down aside. After this incident, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward, and it dispersed in a hurry.
After finishing lunch, Hao Da waved his big hand, and all the troops quickly set off, and several groups of people set off in a chaotic manner.
Pang Gang led his men and horses to walk in the center of the team. What surprised him was that Heitie turned out to be the leader of Ye Bu Shuu under Hao Da's hand. He rode with more than thirty Ye Bu Shuu under his command.
Exploring the situation at the front, dozens of people will soon come back to report the situation in front of them without stopping at night, so that the officers walking in the middle will know everything about what is going on ahead. This discovery made Pang Gang a little surprised. This always seems to be
The gloomy and eccentric Black Iron Marching Army has some real skills in fighting.
Naturally, Hao Dayong didn't come empty-handed when he came to Lingshan Guard. In addition to bringing the black iron team, which never collects at night, he also brought a team of more than thirty servants, and all of these servants were on horseback.
.This discovery made Pang Gang extremely jealous. In his Wanghai Fort, except for a few bad horses that he bought at a high price and the red horse sent by Commander Song last time, he didn't even have a mules or horses, not even the baggage supplies.
They all had to be carried by heavy troops. This discovery also gave Pang Gang the idea of getting a batch of horses to build his own cavalry in the future.
It was already mid-October, the wind was biting, the sky was freezing, and the soldiers of Lingshan Guard started to complain again and again within half an hour of walking. Especially after walking for more than an hour, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
, the road began to slip, and even Hao Dayong's servants couldn't bear it anymore. They had to dismount their horses and drive slowly. The cold wind blew in front of them, and it felt like their faces were being cut by a knife. Everyone began to curse.
.
Seeing the laziness of the soldiers, the officers couldn't stand it any longer, and they all ordered Hao Da to camp on the spot and wait until the snow stopped before marching.
Hao Da used his face solemnly, pointed at Pang Gang and the soldiers behind him with a riding crop in his right hand, and said: "Look at Pang Baihu's army and horses, and then look at your own soldiers. I am blushing for you. He is also a guard.
Why is there such a huge gap between what comes out of the place!"
Only then did the officers realize that Pang Gang had also dismounted and was walking with the soldiers of Wanghai Fort. However, the hundred of them were still in good order and the marching team was not scattered.
All the officers felt ashamed and said: "Sir, the soldiers brought by the humble rank are naturally inferior to the soldiers and horses brought by Pang Baihu. However, the soldiers' clothes are thin at this time, and the humble rank and others are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the wind and frost.
ah!"
Hao Dayong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I don't care about these officers. The military orders are as high as mountains. If you can't arrive at Canine Tooth Mountain and set up camp before today's hour, all the generals will be punished." After saying this, Hao Dayong's face softened.
, "Of course, I am not an unreasonable person. If you pass on the order, if Dog Tooth Mountain is captured, I will reward you and all the soldiers generously."
The officers had no choice but to take the order and leave. Under the temptation of the heavy reward, the soldiers accelerated their march. It was not until the afternoon that the team of nearly 600 people arrived at the foot of the Canine Tooth Mountain. Hao Dayong immediately ordered a group of soldiers to march close to a mountain.
They set up camp on a small hill and prepared to attack the bandits' stronghold tomorrow. At this moment, the heavy snow in the sky suddenly stopped. This coincidence surprised everyone.
After the order was given, the soldiers immediately started to make a fuss, sitting and resting, all in a chaotic mess.
At this time, the gap between the armies began to show. The garrison troops from Lingshan Guard were running all over the mountain like a hornet's nest, collecting firewood, setting up large tents, and hiding in recesses to take shelter from the wind. Got the rules.
On the other hand, looking at the soldiers of Wanghai Fort brought by Pang Gang, except for the one hundred heavy soldiers who began to set up tents, the remaining one hundred and twenty soldiers, led by Da Zhuang and Wang Zhi, also spread out to rest and drink water. Drinking water, talking, but still in an orderly manner.
At this time, Hao Dayong was taking Pang Gang, Bin Shiqian, Qi Wuming and other officers to stand on a small hill to watch the terrain of the Canine Tooth Mountain. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves from the foot of the mountain, and more than a dozen people who stayed up all night came straight from the front. As they ran towards me, a man in front of me yelled loudly, "Sir, sir, the enemy is attacking! The bandits are rushing down the mountain!"
As soon as the words of this man who kept talking all night fell, a scream sounded from behind them. Under the surging head of people, a scream came out: "Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers!"
Soon a band of thieves appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked, and Bin Shiqian and others were so angry that they cursed, "Do these damn thieves want to catch us off guard like Wangjiatun did? Zhi Niang thief, since the thieves are so eager to die, let's make it happen them!"
"Get ready to fight!"
"All in formation!"
The shouts of officers and the hurried footsteps of sergeants could be heard at the foot of the mountain!
