The strong men and auxiliary soldiers of the Taishan Army were also busy non-stop.
Zheng Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked his men to be more careful before he had time to take a sip of water.
After rescuing Le Jin, Zheng Da's fortune improved.
Now he has become a small official in the supply camp, and is in charge of more than fifty stretchers. He is also a decent person.
He was drinking water when he suddenly saw two fools carrying a stretcher and running around like headless flies.
Zheng was so angry that he yelled:
"You two idiots, follow the stretcher in front and go to the battlefield. The injured brothers are waiting for you to save their lives."
The two fools hurriedly responded and followed a flow of people and ran towards the battlefield.
In fact, it is not the fault of these two farmers. It is really that the battlefield behind the scenes is too chaotic.
Wounded people were constantly being sent down from the front, and then there were auxiliary troops from the baggage battalions who had to carry armor, weapons, and arrows to support the front line. Then, there were crowded baggage and grain piles placed and pushed everywhere on both sides of the road.
What a messed up word.
At this time, another group of remaining soldiers retreated carrying the military flag.
Zheng Da's sharp eyes could tell at a glance that it was the trap of the Central Guard Army.
He led a group of people carrying water and went up to meet them.
At this time, the officials who were trapped in the camp were not in good condition and were dejected. Zheng Da did not dare to say anything, so he asked people to put down the water and prepare to do other things.
Those officials who were trapped in the camp did not have any arrogance, and under the restraint of a few military officials, they continued to use water.
Zheng Da, who walked to the side, vaguely heard the words "shame", "blood shame", "gratitude" and "yellow sky" being said by the military officials.
He also said, "Don't let the Taishan Army look down on our Yellow Turban Army."
Only then did Zheng Da realize that this group of people who had retired to reorganize were the old Yellow Turban Army soldiers.
Zheng Da curled his lips and straightened his waist without any intuition, feeling quite confident.
From here, it can be seen that the integration of the Yellow Turban Army and the Taishan Army still has a way to go.
On one side of the retreating camp, there was also a group of unarmed Qin and Hu Yi Cong, including infantry and cavalry. They were all clinging to the carriages attentively and watching the situation on the battlefield.
Whenever there is something exciting, someone will tell it to the person below, and it will trigger a round of applause.
This group of people was the Ma Teng tribe that was the first to rebel before the war. After they were led to retreat, they were arranged to rest here.
Then, in front of these people, it was different from the bleak situation of those trapped in the camp just now.
A group of wounded soldiers also retired, but they were carrying military flags and beaming with joy.
They held high the war flags and weapons they had captured from the enemy, and showed off their power at the edge of the robe. Especially in front of the defeated troops trapped in the camp, they walked three times, causing the latter to yell and curse.
And these people are different from the previous wounded soldiers. Even though many of them were injured, they refused to be sent down on stretchers. They wanted to walk back together with their robes, and that would be a triumphant return.
Looking at these different landscapes, Zheng Da sighed with emotion that our old Taishan army was still the toughest.
At this time, Zheng Da suddenly heard someone calling him.
But it was Niu Er and a few others. They walked over to a prisoner whose clothes were torn and stained with blood, and walked over step by step.
Zheng cursed:
"What happened when I asked you to fetch water?"
Na Niu Er grunted angrily:
"Team leader, we were fetching water from the stream, and this man suddenly jumped out. At first glance, he was a spy."
As soon as he heard that he was a spy, Zheng Da hurriedly ran over. He first looked at the prisoner's mouth and then touched his body. He was so skinny that he didn't look like a spy.
But no one can be sure whether he is a spy or not. What if he falls into the wrong hands and beheaded as a spy? But he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to say:
"You are a spy."
The prisoner was very excited and kept shouting, but neither of them could understand.
Zheng Da and Le Jin were all from the Chenliu area in East County of Yanzhou. The man in front of him probably spoke the local dialect. After thinking about it, Zheng Da asked around his subordinates:
"Do any of you understand what this man is saying?"
Everyone looked around, and finally there was a former businessman who raised his hand and said:
"The spy said he was looking for someone with a large apricot-yellow paper and a nine-section staff. He said that his elder brother wanted him to bring a message to this person."
Zheng Da muttered:
"How can we have such a person here?"
Suddenly, Zheng Dafu came to his heart and slapped his thigh in disbelief:
"Mother Xie, you are not looking for the king, are you?"
Zheng Da has never met the king, but he also knows that our king always carries a large banner of "Walking for Heaven" when marching and stationed, and the nine-section staff obtained from the Taiping Dao.
Zheng Da grabbed the man and said fiercely:
"What a spy, who are you? Dare you come to assassinate the king?"
The captured prisoner was naturally the White Rabbit.
In fact, Bai Hu thought it was too simple. After all, he was of too low a background. It was not clear that his younger brother, Bai Rabbit, would never have the slightest chance to get close to Zhang Chong, let alone wartime, or even in peacetime.
Therefore, as soon as White Rabbit ran to the edge of the battlefield, he was arrested by the auxiliary soldiers of the supply camp because of his suspicious behavior.
If he hadn't met a kind man, his life would have been long gone.
Maybe it's because of his luck in the Bai family, maybe it's because Zhang Chong is really lucky, but in short, Bai Tu, a young man, met Zheng Da.
Being dragged by Zheng Da at this time, White Rabbit immediately realized that something was wrong. The cleverness in his nature saved him. He said to the person who could understand his own language:
"My brother is from Taiping Road. He exchanged his life for a piece of news about the Taishan Army. Take me to see the leader of your family. I know him. He is General Chongtian."
At this moment, White Rabbit understood everything.
White Rabbit's words were relayed to Zheng Da, but at this time, Zheng Da was in trouble.
He realized that the second greatest opportunity in life had appeared in front of him.
The first time was when he pulled Le Jin out from the pile of corpses.
But this is too risky. Who knows that this person is not a secret spy of the enemy army? Even if the king is brave and powerful, he can crush this person with one finger.
But as long as this person is a spy and he, Zheng Da, takes him there, he will definitely be implicated beyond redemption.
So do you want to gamble or not?
Zheng Da's eyes changed, and suddenly he saw Bai Rabbit's eyes, which were pleading.
He thought of the first sentence this man just said:
"My brother paid for it with his life..."
Zheng Da sighed and understood.
He looked seriously into White Rabbit's eyes and asked one last time:
"Do you really have important information to send to the king?"
Human communication sometimes does not require words, just a look.
Looking at Zheng Da, Bai Tu nodded sharply.
Finally, Zheng Da decided to go all out and take White Rabbit to see the king.
But the subordinates expressed:
"Leader of the team, let's forget it. Where is the King that we can see whenever we want?"
Seeing that his authority was being questioned, Zheng Da blushed and cursed:
"You guys know nothing. Do you know that Sima, the cavalry army under the Central Guards Army, has a life-long friendship with our old Zheng. If we ask him to guide us, will we still not be able to see the king?"
Seeing that the team leader was so determined, everyone rushed forward and expressed their willingness to protect the team leader to see the king.
In the end, Zheng Da chose two, one was the merchant who had just sent the message, and the other was Niu Er who had captured the white rabbit.
Taking White Rabbit into custody, the three of them went to the tent area in front, where the Chinese army was located.
The closer they got here, the more they could see troops being mobilized towards the front line, and Zheng Da and the others began to feel the noise and smell of the battlefield.
Following the wind, a hot fishy smell billowed in, and Zheng Da couldn't stand it anymore.
He was already trembling and nervous, but when he was hit by the smell, he immediately vomited.
The movement here caused a loud shout:
"Which department do you belong to? Tell me the password."
The person who said this was a tough warrior with an iron spear in his hand and five armored soldiers who shouted at them angrily.
Zheng Da immediately stopped trembling and quickly answered the command:
"Rebuilding mountains and rivers."
Seeing Zheng Da answer the password, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The warrior was Cheng Pu, the general in charge of the patrol.
He walked up to Zheng Da and said solemnly:
"Which branch are you from and why are you in the Chinese Army?"
Zheng Da nervously replied:
"General, our name is Zheng Da, and we are the leader of the stretcher team at the left camp of the baggage army. Le Jin and I are neck-cutting brothers. Let's come find him."
Cheng Pu naturally knew Le Jin.
Seeing that this man could name Le Jin, he believed a lot in Zheng Da's identity. He was determined to betray Le Jin's reputation, so he replied:
"Le Sima has already gone to the front line. You can find him after the war. Seeing that you and Le Sima are brothers who cut their necks, I advise you not to wander around in the army. You will lose your life, do you understand?"
Zheng Da nodded hurriedly and was about to take a few of them with him.
Seeing Zheng Da taking the initiative to give up, White Rabbit couldn't bear to accept it. He suddenly broke away from the two people beside him and ran to Han Dang:
"General, we have a major military intelligence report."
But what greeted him was an iron spear. The spear shaft pressed on White Rabbit's shoulder, and then directly pushed him to his knees.
At this time, Cheng Pu had no expression at all and looked down at the white rabbit indifferently:
"Those who rebel against the army will be killed!"
After saying that, Cheng Pu was about to kill the white rabbit with a spear.
But at this moment, White Rabbit shouted:
"Han reinforcements are coming."
Then the spear stopped directly next to White Rabbit's face and stabilized it steadily.
Cheng Pu looked at the white rabbit, then raised his head to face Zheng Dao who was stunned with fear:
"I'm going to take this man away. You all stay where you are and don't move. Whoever dares to run will die."
After saying this, Cheng Pu asked his subordinates to stay and guard Zheng Da and the others. Then he took the white rabbit under his arm and went to see the king.
After Cheng Pu left, Zheng Da breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the cow next to him complained:
"Leader of the team, didn't you say you have a great reputation? Let's not talk about meeting the king together right now, I'm afraid we won't even be able to save our lives. I'll just say that boy is a spy. Oh my, I have an old mother, no
How can she live without me?"
Zheng Da was so frightened when he saw Niu Er's courage that he spoke more and more awkwardly. He spat and said:
"That's nonsense. If you just stay still, you will not only save your life, but you may be able to marry a wife this time. But if you run around on your own, your mother deserves to be born, you idiot."
Niu'er was very aggrieved, but finally asked:
"Team leader, where is our wife?"
…
At this time, Zhang Chong was watching the battlefield attentively on the wooden platform.
So far, the war is going smoothly.
As he moved up the reserve support of the Central Route Army, Wei Duan was unable to support himself under the attack from the east and front.
The enemy's front is constantly shrinking.
Zhang Chong's eyes penetrated the battlefield and looked towards the east. He felt a slight palpitation in his heart, which was something he hadn't felt in a long time.
The last time I felt this way was when Li Jin fought in the tent, and that time Old Sun Tou died.
Why does the same feeling appear this time?
There was a hint of gloom in Zhang Chong's heart.
He turned to He Kui and asked:
"How many of the rangers have dispersed from the east road?"
He Kui glanced at Xun You, and then Xun You took the initiative to reply:
"Back to the king, before the war, the patrol to the east dispersed to five miles. There were three squads of fifteen cavalry in total. But so far, the latest round of cavalry has not returned yet."
Zhang Chong thought for a while and ordered:
"Choose a group from the generals, ride three horses, and then go east to explore."
Xun You got the order and hurriedly got off the wooden platform to explain the matter.
At this moment, Cheng Pu came with the white rabbit under his arm.
After pressing the white rabbit to the ground, Cheng Pu got down on one knee and gave his order to the king on the high platform:
"Your Majesty, the latest military report has been sent from a nearby mountain camp, saying that reinforcements from the Han army have arrived."
There was an uproar at Cheng Pu's words, and even He Kui on the stage looked sideways.
However, suddenly there was a loud noise, which scared everyone and stood up from their horses.
It turned out that the king actually jumped down from the wooden platform ten feet high, and he was even wearing armor.
The generals were shocked and rushed to see if the king was injured.
But Zhang Chong waved his hand to stop him.
Zhang Chong walked towards White Rabbit, lifted him up with both hands, wiped the mud from his face, and said warmly:
"Did you send this information?"
At this time, White Rabbit has forgotten the words.
He looked at the man in front of him and felt that no words could describe him. White Rabbit felt that he was as powerful as the sun, warming everyone.
White Rabbit's silence aroused dissatisfaction among the generals. Among them, Liu Hui snorted:
"The king is asking you something."
Zhang Chong laughed at Liu Hui and said:
"He is still a child, let him speak slowly."
Then Bai Tu slowly told the details with Zhang Chong's encouragement.
Some of them Zhang Chong could understand, and some Zhang Chong couldn't understand, but Zhang Chong didn't stop the child.
After White Rabbit finished speaking, he blushed and lowered his head again.
After he finished speaking, Zhen Yao, who was also from Zhongshan, relayed to Zhang Chong:
"This man said that his brother was a Taiping Taoist, and when he learned that the Han army was coming for reinforcements, he asked him to send it. His brother was also hit by three arrows, and his life or death was uncertain. The situation his brother talked about was that the enemy army
There were roughly ten thousand people, and the flags were Hejian, Bohai, and Anping, and their fighting spirit was so high that the originally arranged rangers were also strangled."
Sure enough, what Zhang Chong was most worried about happened.
The reinforcements of the Han army have arrived, but he has not defeated the enemy yet.
He has enough confidence to continue fighting, but can the brothers who have fought fiercely for so long still be able to withstand it? Will they collapse?
Zhang Chong doesn't know.
This time, I, Zhang Chong, am here to protect you.
This time, I, Zhang Chong, charge for you!
This time, I, Zhang Chong, will lead you to victory and return home!
So Zhang Chong took out a bow, took an arrow and shot it towards the sky.
This is the cloud-piercing arrow used to recruit sudden cavalry.
…
The sharp sound of the cloud-piercing arrow was heard by Ma Wu, Xu Huang, Guo Liang, and Zhao Yun in the east; it was heard by Li Hu and Yan Gang, who was repairing it on the east wall; it was heard by Yan Gang who was repairing it on the east wall; it was heard by Xi in the periphery of the battlefield.
Shen, Li Fu, and Li Bi heard it.
They all looked towards the highest point in the army, where the king was calling them.
So-called:
"One arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops and horses come to meet you; eight pairs of loyal and courageous men, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, appear to lift your fate."
There are about two chapters left before this scene card ends. What follows will be a moment when a real force breaks out against Zhang Chong, making the people of the world realize once again what it means to not be a human being.
