"I can't wait any longer," Shi Jin said while watching the moonlight getting thicker and thicker, holding the coiling dragon stick in his hand: "Something must have happened, I can't wait for you to go down anymore," he said here, Shi came in and out of the tent and said to the brothers: "Take care of the guys, let's go."
Three fierce men, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, were sitting together. After hearing what Shi Jin said, they immediately stood up, called to the attendants around them, took the weapons from their hands, and then ordered his troops to prepare and assemble. , for a time, the soldiers on Taihua Mountain wore helmets and armor and mounted their horses with swords.
In no more time than a stick of incense, Shi Jin's troops were ready to go. Wu Yong knew that he could not stop them, so he and Gongsun Sheng also mounted their horses.
Just when Shi Jin pointed his Panlong Stick toward the sky and was about to give the order to move forward, a figure suddenly ran up to him. A soldier knelt on the ground and loudly reported: "Report,,, leader Shi Qian is back,"
"Oh," Shi Jin was delighted when he heard this, and Wu Yong was even more delighted.
Shi Jin quickly got off the horse, and everyone followed Shi Jin and walked a few steps forward to meet the panting Shi Qian. Shi Qian was holding his belly and half-bent. At a glance, it was obvious that he was running all the way up the mountain, and his intestines were running wild. It all hurts.
"Come here, get a bowl of water quickly," Shi Jin ordered, using his sleeve to wipe clean a large bluestone by the roadside, and quickly let Shi Qian sit on it to rest.
Shi Qian took a deep breath, drank a large bowl of spring water in one gulp, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he felt relieved.
"What's the situation over there," Wu Yong asked.
"It's okay near Huayin. Not long after Shangzhou's five thousand soldiers and horses were repulsed by Zhu Wu's brother, he led another three thousand remnant troops to attack Aoshui Town at night. They were shot back by Di Yan's random arrows. They panicked and were chased and fled. Don't enter. On the ground of our Shaohua Mountain, Yang Chun led more than a thousand people to kill him, beheaded the commander of the Shangzhou army on his horse, and captured more than a thousand officers and soldiers of Shangzhou. Now they are recruiting talents and integrating them into the Shaohua village. "Shi Qian said this, and then added: "Guanxi Town has been occupied by the soldiers and horses of Shaanzhou. They neither attack nor retreat, as if they are waiting for some opportunity, and the 20,000 soldiers sent from Jingzhao Mansion The Forbidden Army was the most troublesome. Six thousand of them were blocked by Gu Yan's soldiers at the foot of Zheng County City. Because Zheng County City was tall and hard and had abundant supplies, the Forbidden Army could not attack them for a long time. Kui Er accepted Zhu Wu's plan and He took the "Shadow Team" he formed and sneaked into the Forbidden Army camp at night. He failed to assassinate the general and killed the wrong general. Although the operation failed and Kuei burned half of their food and grass when he fled, however, In Weinan to the west, Liu Tang and Dong Xi were trapped in the city. They saw that their troops were exhausted and their ammunition and food supplies were exhausted. However, Chishui, which must pass through Zheng County, was also captured and cut off by the 6,000 Imperial Guards on the right. On the road to rescue, Zhu Wu sent people several times to try to pass messages in and give him plans to break out of the siege. Liu Tang was fierce, but he refused, saying that he could only die in battle and not escape, and vowed to coexist in the city." After saying this, Shi Qian paused. He continued with a solemn look: "Chen Da was trapped in Pucheng far away, and was blocked by the imperial army. Before the news was cut off, a few days ago, Pucheng was already an isolated city, with 2,500 people from Yaozhou under the city. There are four thousand soldiers and horses from Tongzhou. The left-wing imperial army had already headed over there two days ago. Now I don’t know whether Chen Da is alive or dead..." Shi Qian spoke more and more softly, and at the end he was even quieter. Mosquitoes and flies.
Everyone felt heartbroken when they heard this, and Shi Jin felt like he was being cut by a knife, tightly holding the Coiling Dragon Stick in his hand, wishing he could kill him under Pucheng in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yong knew that Shi Jin was impatient, so he was planning a strategy while listening to Shi Qian's report.
"I have met brother Zhu Wu. He heard that you brought many brothers back. Now he is very happy. Previously, soldiers claiming to be Erlongshan have come to Huayin County in scattered pieces. There is little cloth, food and grass. Cheng Duo, there are about five hundred people here," Shi Qian said, and then said: "Brother Zhu Wu asked me to take the message and tell you that he has already thought of a plan to attack Zheng County. The righteous imperial army was only suffering from the fact that the soldiers and horses of Shaanzhou occupied Guanxi Town, and Zhu Wu sent Liu Quantian to attack from Huayin several times. Shaanzhou never faced the challenge head-on, but always played the game of "I advance and others retreat" , I follow the trick of attacking others, and their horses are excellent and highly maneuverable. Judging from our horse equipment now, we really can't catch up even if we want to, and we can't hit even if we want to, and we are being led by others. It’s really not pleasant to leave,”
Wu Yong's heart lit up after hearing this, and he immediately had an idea and said: "Zhu Wu must have had the intention to repel the Forbidden Army in the middle, thus breaking the dichotomy formed by the Forbidden Army in the middle and the right-wing besieging Weinan Forbidden Army, so as to be able to fight with Liu Tang and Dong Xi in Weinan teamed up to kill the outside forces, but they were all to the west of Huayin County. If you want to send troops to the west, you can't leave Shaanzhou behind in the east. Otherwise, they will definitely take advantage of Zhu Wu’s attack to attack Huayin. This is the reason why they can’t advance, and can’t retreat.”
"We will kill all the Shaanzhou soldiers and horses tonight. At the moment, the Shangzhou soldiers and horses are defeated, and there is no support from the Shangzhou official soldiers and horses. We can just kill him without any scruples," Shi Jin said: "As long as Shaanzhou's soldiers and horses are defeated, we can join forces and fight all the way towards Weinan," Shi Jin said here. Seeing everyone nodding, he acted like this and said immediately: "It can't be delayed." , set off now,”
"Wait a minute," just when everyone was finally ready to gallop to kill, Wu Yong stood up and said, "If Zhu Wu asked Shi Qian to bring him back just now, he knew that we would definitely attack the officers and soldiers, but he just wanted us to understand that those people and horses are accustomed to If we run away after hearing the news, if we are so presumptuous to kill them, I'm afraid that the group will also play in circles with us. When our horses are tired, they will come back and shoot them. At that time, it is not possible to To achieve the effect we want,”
"Then what should we do," Lin Chong asked Wu Yongdao.
"This is difficult to say, easy to say, you see," Wu Yong said, he started to evolve in front of everyone, and while drawing on the ground with stones, he said: "This is Guanxi Town, these thieves are very good Very soon, we will definitely abandon this town and flee. We can ambush a troop of 400 soldiers and horses in the north and east of Guanxi Town, with more bows and arrows, tripping ropes, hooks, etc., and the remaining 800 The people wrapped the horses' hooves in linen, and quietly moved from east to west, killing them in the back. Even though they had five thousand men and horses, as long as they were unexpectedly killed and disrupted, these habits would escape. As expected, you will panic and rush towards the north and south sides. When the time comes, the brothers who are ambushing on both sides will use snagging ropes, hooks and other tools. If they escape quickly, they will use bows and arrows to keep them away. "Shoot," Wu Yong said here, raised his eyes and looked at the crowd and said, "Although it is said that 'shoot people and horses, capture thieves and capture kings', their horses are excellent. If they can be used by me, then we can do it again later." A good show,"
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it this way, Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong,"
"exist,"
"You two lead 400 troops to ambush in the north of Guanxi Town," Shi Jinshi ordered.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng responded with clasped fists.
"Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and I each took two hundred men and formed an arrow formation. I was in the vanguard, Lu Zhishen was on the left, Yang Zhi was on the right, and Lin Chong was on the right path," Shi Jin continued.
"Yes," Lu Zhishen and the other three people responded in unison.
Speaking of this, Shi Jin also inquired about the operational sergeant on the ground and spread out the map of the Shaanzhou military camp, and then ordered: "We will attack him unprepared, and attack his main camp first. Lin Chong, you are not familiar with the location of the regular military camp." Very soon, as soon as we enter the main camp, you go to find the location of the commander's flag. Cut down the flag in the general's center and kill Deng Fei, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses. Lu Zhishen and I will circle around you and charge, while Yang Zhi is there. During this period, people were everywhere to set fires,"
Lin Chong and the other three people took it to heart and nodded in agreement.
Shi Jin continued: "When the officers and soldiers on the left and right wings saw the fire in the main camp, they would definitely send their own generals to come to the rescue. Once Lin Chong succeeded, Lin Chong and I fought against the troops on the left wing of Shaanzhou. Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhishen Form a team to fight against the soldiers and horses on the right wing of Shaanzhou. Kill the general on the side first. Don't rush straight to his two wing camps. When the time comes, it would be best if Huayin has soldiers and horses to help. If no one comes to respond, then make a big noise, cut down their flags, rush left and right, maintain the formation of two dragons coming out of the water, trample their entire camp, disrupt their position, don't believe they won't escape,"
When everyone heard this, their hearts began to show up unconsciously, and the scene of fighting made their whole bodies boil with blood.
"Times change,"
"exist,"
"You quickly go back to Huayin and tell Zhu Wu about this and ask him to send troops to respond. We all wear silver helmets and silver armor, but as long as we are one of our own, we will wear a red scarf on our right arm," Shi Jin ordered After that, Shi Qian accepted the order and hurriedly rode down the mountain.
Shortly after Shi Qian left, the sergeants, under Shi Jin's order, wrapped the horse's hoof tightly with coarse cloth, and then pulled the red cloth and tied it in a prominent place on his right arm. When everything was ready, Shi Jin urged The horse quickly came down the mountain with many brothers.
The horses' hooves wrapped in coarse cloth were galloping beside the official road that was overgrown with weeds. There was no longer the thunderous sound of the horses' hooves, only a heavy muffled sound.
Shi Jin led his troops and horses into the territory of Huazhou. Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng each led a group of troops and separated from Shi Jin's large army, and detoured to the north and south respectively. .
Shi Jin led Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi to slow down the march and advance slowly. When the team advanced calmly and was less than two thousand strides away from Guanxi Town, Shi Jin gathered up his troops and horses. It transformed into a formation of arrows. Yue Mo estimated that Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were ready. At that moment, Shi Jin quietly shouted and ordered: "Brothers, the time has come for the killing spree. Blindfold the horses and follow me to kill."
The generals had been waiting for this moment. At that moment, the whole army got excited, waved the black cloth and blinded the horses, then drew out their spears and swords and headed towards the Shaanzhou soldiers and horses camp to kill them.
As soon as he ran less than five hundred steps away, he saw a faint black figure running towards him in the darkness. Shi Jin clapped his horse forward, and after another hundred steps, he could roughly see the figure clearly. The silhouette of the visitor, with three small flags stuck behind the silver helmet.
"That's the detective horse of the officers and soldiers," Lin Chong's sharp eyes immediately recognized the man.
"Look at me," Shi Jin pulled out an arrow from his waist, held the long bow behind his back in his hand, loaded the bow with an arrow, pulled it into a full moon, looked at the general position of the officer's heart, and made a swish sound, It's just an arrow.
The scout from Shaanzhou still hadn't figured out where the soldiers and horses came from, but just when he was thinking about coming up to find out, Shi Jin's arrow had already appeared in front of him, and poof With a loud bang, the man's chest was pierced, and he fell off the horse with a groan of pain.
[Shaanzhou Soldiers and Horses Camp·Chinese Army Tent]
Deng Fei, the military supervisor of Shaanzhou, who was sitting in the Chinese army tent, was writing a letter to reply to the food and grass sent by the prefect of the city. But just when he was about to finish writing and put away the pen, he saw Nayou Xiao, who was sitting on the table above the case. There were ripples in the bowl of wine presented by the servant. Deng Fei paused at the end of his pen and listened with bated breath, but there was no movement.
Deng Fei didn't think much and continued to think about finishing the last sentence. However, wherever he looked with his peripheral vision, the ripples of the wine became more and more obvious. Just now, they were still there, but now they were shaking in circles. , Deng Fei felt that this was not a good sign, and immediately shouted: "Here comes someone,"
A sergeant in full uniform lifted the curtain of the Chinese army camp and came in. He saluted and waited for orders.
"What's going on outside?" Deng Fei asked: "Let's go see where the soldiers and horses are coming towards us."
"Here," the sergeant responded and hurried out. Less than half an hour later, the sergeant came in again and reported: "Sir, there is movement in the east. The detective horse just left the camp to spy. Now, I don’t know yet,”
As soon as Deng Fei heard that there was movement in the east, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and he thought to himself: "He came from Shaanzhou. Could it be that the prefect urged me several times to march, but he also sent troops and horses to fail? Humph?" , What does a civil servant know about the art of war?" Deng Fei thought of this, and he couldn't help but write more heavily. After writing the last stroke in thick ink, he omitted all the etiquette and other polite words that he should have, and did not wait for that. After the pen and ink were dry, he folded them up and shouted: "Here comes someone."
"Give this to the officer who escorted the grain and fodder, and ask him to go back and deliver the mission early, so as not to stay in the camp and waste the grain," Deng Fei said, and handed the letter to the ordering sergeant.
The sergeant responded, took the souvenir and was about to walk out of the tent when he was knocked to the ground by a panicked soldier.
