"My sons, listen to my order, raise your swords quickly, open your bows quickly, kill the Gan people around you and welcome the Yan people into the city!"
On the battlefield, be good at Arrangement of troops, good at adapting to changes, and good at judging the situation, this is the quality of a general. It is obvious that at this point, Liang Cheng is almost perfect.
But there are still some things that are beyond the scope of the "battlefield", and are not included in the examination of the general's quality, nor are they "odd" among the strange and the right.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing is done by the top characters in the temple.
But at the moment,
Zheng Fan is already very dirty after thinking about making a fuss about Mrs. Daxi.
Then a blind man is put on the trap. This is a master who likes to bask in the sun on weekdays and is worried that he will get moldy if he is not exposed to the sun for too long. Naturally, he is the filthiest of filth.
In fact, the blind man is not incapable of "soul searching" in terms of mental power. It is not impossible to read the opponent's memory in a short time, but now he cannot do this unless the Lord can Perhaps he could be as cool as he is on par with Marquis Jingnan.
But not being able to speak "dialect" is just a small problem.
After saying "Chinese dialect", the effect was quickly reflected.
Anyway, they are being provoked into internal strife. It doesn’t matter who takes action first.
After "Mrs. Daxi" shouted,
the soldiers on the city wall were startled for a moment, and immediately looked at the wolf soldiers beside them with suspicious eyes, and also There were two dry soldiers holding crossbows who pointed the crossbow muzzles directly at the wolf soldiers beside them.
One of them,
pulled the trigger.
"Buzz!"
"Pfft!"
The crossbow arrow shot directly into the body of the wolf soldier,
This scene , happened suddenly, but in full view of everyone.
The soldiers on the other side immediately pointed their swords at the wolf soldiers beside them, which only added fuel to the fire.
The reason why Qian Guo likes to use wolf soldiers is that they fight fiercely and are very convenient to suppress rebellions. Secondly, they want to mobilize the Western Army guarding the mountains in the southwest to go north, so they use heavy money to seduce them. The chieftains contributed their own troops to go north together, and they were also worried that there would be chaos in the southwest after the Western Army moved north.
Therefore, there is great distrust between the native people and the Gan people. In addition, the wolf native soldiers have just been defeated, and their Mrs. Daxi was captured by the Yan people. These wolf native soldiers are the spirit of the people. A moment of panic.
For historical reasons and the current atmosphere, that crossbow arrow exploded here instantly.
The wolf soldiers began to raise their swords, and the soldiers also began to raise their swords. It was not known who was the first to strike with the sword, and the internal strife between the two sides began in this extremely ridiculous way.
Meng Gong looked at the situation in a daze. Things happened too fast, and Mrs. Daxi changed too quickly. Until now, Meng GongThey all couldn't believe why Mrs. Daxi dared to ignore the people in her village. Even if she was coerced by the Yan people, she shouldn't have shouted such words. Even if she was tortured and forced, she couldn't have changed so quickly!
For this reason,
At this time,
Meng Gong lost control of the situation, because this was not his general's responsibility.
Normally speaking, the generals are responsible for fighting outside, and the court is responsible for the logistics and supplies at the back. It tries its best to arrange suitable troops and horses for the generals to command, but these wolf soldiers are simply not what Meng Gong can command. Gotta move.
If Mianzhou City had given him soldiers and horses from the Western Army or the three northern towns of Qian Kingdom, Meng Gong would have even dared to deliberately let more Yan people in when the Yan people entered the city, then close the door and beat the dogs. .
But now, he can only try to support the situation from completely collapsing, and all he can do is do his best and obey fate.
You are a beautiful woman, but you are faced with two dirty men.
Meng Gong's eyes began to turn red, and he held the knife in his hand, but he felt confused in his heart.
On the contrary,
outside the city,
Zheng Fan was very happy in his heart.
The knights began to readjust their status. The sound of fighting in the city was so clear. They knew that their opportunity had come.
No one would object to having many military exploits. Whether they are barbarians or aristocrats, they all have a strong desire for heads.
Because since the last attack on Qian Country, Zheng Fan has realized that his "racist discrimination" against the barbarian soldiers is inappropriate.
Liang Cheng understood Zheng Fan’s meaning and conveyed it to the blind man. The blind man immediately understood the spirit of the Lord’s message.
Under the operation of the blind man, the barbarian soldiers not only had a dream in their brains after being brainwashed, but also had a pursuit that was right in front of them.
That is, they can rely on their military merits to obtain the status of Yan State citizens, and can be granted land, which is equivalent to obtaining Yan State household registration.
The household registration of Yan State is naturally not as good as the Shangjing household registration of Qian State, because the Shangjing City of Qian State is undoubtedly the largest city in the world. The highly developed industries such as commerce, culture and so on are simply the most brilliant in the world. 's pearl.
But for the barbarians who were born in the Xingjing tribe, it is extremely precious to be able to obtain the household registration of the Yan people, so that they and their descendants no longer have to face the shadow of the Zhenbei Army’s butcher’s knife. Opportunity.
However,
just when the morale of the army was once again vigorous and they were ready to find an opportunity to charge into the city again, two sentinels returned.
After Liang Cheng received the report, he immediately rode over and came to Zheng Fan:
"My lord, there are figures of Ganren cavalry outside."
< p>Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment and asked:"Which way?"
"South."
Zheng Fan frowned, "South? ”
If it’s a dry rideComing from the north, the cavalry from the three towns should be dispatched to support, but they should not be that fast.
This time, Qianqi came from the south, which means that it was probably the troops from Qianguo heading north.
These wolf soldiers are actually the first batch of troops to go north, which means that the following troops are not far away.
Zheng Fan glanced around. The current chaos in the city told him that this was a good time to try to storm the door again, but the city could not be defended after all.
I am leading cavalry, and there are not enough of them. What I rely on is actually the quality and mobility of the individual soldiers.
"Withdraw!"
Zheng Fan made a decision.
Mrs. Da Xi looked at Zheng Fan with some sadness,
Which one of them changed from man to woman just to make some noise?
But a blind man is a blind man after all. He rarely does impulsive things because of his emotions, so Mrs. Daxi trembled and fainted.
"Ali, protect the blind man's body."
"Okay, my lord!"
Zheng Fan looked at that place again More than two hundred captured soldiers kneeling on their sides showed a look of compassion on their faces,
and said:
"They are also pitiful people. , God has a good life, let’s take Mrs. Daxi away, let the others go, I will not kill prisoners.”
“I understand, my lord.” Liang Cheng nodded. .
After Zheng Fan finished speaking, he waved his hand and rode his horse north. A group of cavalry followed Zheng Fan and began to gallop north.
Liang Cheng stayed behind for a while,
ordered the surrounding cavalry:
“Kill them all.”
“As ordered. ! "
...
It is a pity that we failed to capture Mianzhou City, because this city lay vulnerable in front of you twice. It seems to be deliberately tempting you to come in, with a slight refusal to welcome you for the sake of the atmosphere.
But Cuiliu Fort’s army failed to actually enter this time.
The soldiers and horses did suffer some losses.
But thanks to Mrs. Yidaxi’s magical operation, a wave of heads were sent away abruptly.
So, this time the raid was still a success. In terms of military merit alone, it really far exceeded what Zheng Fan got when he entered the city last time.
This is even before Zheng Fan counts the dwarf assassins in his team and has made huge gains.
The journey back north was not smooth sailing, because the three towns in the north did react after receiving the news of the war.
However, just as Zheng Fan and Zhenbeihou said when they roasted the leg of lamb last time, if you give me more men and horses, I can let Ganren send me out of the country as a gift.
This time, Ganren did not leave the country without gifts, but facing the more than a thousand Yan people's cavalry with evil spirits on their bodies, the one hundred and two hundred groups of Ganren cavalry really did not dare to step forward. to block.
There are obviously opportunities to delay, but they don't dare to take it. Some people only dare to follow from a distance, just to fulfill their purpose.
Even when the cavalry team of Cuiliu Fort changed direction, the Ganren cavalry had to retreat.
Ganren is waiting for the arrival of his main force, but his main force has recently, to be precise, been forced to retreat by the Marquis of Jingnan leading 10,000 Jingnan Army cavalry in the past few months. He has been huddled in the military town and dared not go out, so it is almost impossible to get there in time.
Even if they arrived in time, how could they possibly catch up with the more than a thousand cavalrymen who were running straight north without any accompanying troops to proactively intercept and delay them?
This is a cavalry, one man and two horses!
On the way back, the morale of the army was still high, because they did not retreat, but triumphed.
Unless a nearly two thousand Ganren cavalry appears in front, there is no way to force them to change direction.
The last time Zheng Fan was chased and had to be pulled east and west to hide, it was because there were too few soldiers that time. He brought out 400 barbarian cavalry and lost some when he charged into the city. I was not well prepared, and I was inevitably a little tired, so when facing Gan Ren's pursuit, I chose to retreat and go around. In the end, if Marquis Jingnan hadn't come forward, he would probably have confessed that he was in the country of Qian.
But this time, there is no problem like last time.
Everyone wants to go back, because the merit of the head this time is enough for the criminal soldiers to free their families, and for the barbarian soldiers to obtain household registration.
Furthermore, the hairstyle of the wolf soldiers, including the pendants on their ears, etc., can be regarded as easy to identify the heads. There will be no trouble when clearing the heads, and there is no need to worry about being said to be. Those who kill good people and take credit for their merits.
However, the first person to eat crabs always has the best luck, because after this bloody lesson, the wolf soldiers probably will not dare to pursue the cavalry on the plains again. Such an exaggerated and sexy operation.
"Yes, Lord, look, there are so many cavalry escorting us."
The blind man was unconscious and was carried on Fan Li's shoulders.
Xue San is not here, and I don’t know if he is dead or not.
Liang Cheng is commanding the army, and Siniang is only suitable at night.
So, A Ming can only chat with Zheng Fan at this time.
"Haha."
Zheng Fan smiled.
Besides and behind the team, more and more Ganren cavalry teams gathered, but they would soon be thrown away, because the Ganren cavalry's endurance was not good enough, and they could not compare with the luxury of one person and two horses here. Configuration, and furthermore, they did not have the determination to step forward and actively attack and fight.
They are all cavalry, that is, they are all experts. They know the quality and temperament of the cavalry in front of them. If they are blindfolded, they might try it, but they will use themselves as eggs. No one wants to eat rocks.
It can be said that,The Qian people have suppressed the military with civility for nearly a hundred years, and the negative consequences have already appeared. Although there are indeed good generals in the Qian army, and there are also some soldiers who are passionate and fearless of death, the overall military atmosphere is still extremely poor. Depressed.
The low social status of soldiers creates the kind of self-abasement and lack of honor among soldiers. The consequences must be extremely bitter.
However, Zheng Fan was still a little dissatisfied and shouted:
"If you give me another seven or eight thousand cavalry, I won't have to run away!"
Zheng Fan felt that the equipment of the more than a thousand cavalry under his command and Liang Cheng’s command were at the forefront. There might be a gap between them and the Zhenbei Army, but compared with the same number of Jingnan Army, they were really inferior. There is no distinction between them.
If I have 10,000 Jingnan Army cavalry under my command at this time, not to mention that Mianzhou City must have been defeated before, just say that when I run away at this time, I can also be more leisurely like a spring outing. You can even have some time to exchange souvenirs with these Ganren cavalry who are chasing them.
Zheng Fan once had an uncle in his hometown. He once talked about it at the family New Year gathering. When he was on the Laoshan front line, he exchanged canned meat with the Vietnamese on the opposite side. He said that it was his family's fault. The canned food has long since made me sick of eating it.
At that time, Zheng Fan was still very confused. How could a war be like this?
Now, he somewhat understands that as long as you have the confidence, you can do this.
"Haha, isn't this the same as before the Manchus entered the customs?" A Ming said.
Many people only know that Wu Sangui led the Manchus into the Pass, but they don’t know that in the past few years, the Houjin Eight Banners broke through the Pass several times, burning, killing, looting and marching all the way to the walls of Beijing. Take a horse walk and say hello to Emperor Chongzhen on the city wall.
When Hou Jin retreated, they naturally could not move fast with the looted goods, but the Ming army only dared to follow behind, waiting for the Ming army to enter again when Hou Jin's soldiers retreated and left the city. "Recover" the city and send people out of customs with a gift.
In the last years of the dynasty, when military preparations were depleted and the number of capable soldiers and generals were withered, a similar scene would easily occur.
In Zheng Fan's opinion, this Dagan really fits the scene of the end of the dynasty. The fact that he failed to commit suicide twice and returned with a full harvest is the best proof.
The only thing that puzzles Zheng Fan is probably that the Marquis of Jingnan has come back early, but he has always just ordered the leaders of the miscellaneous army below to go out to forage and cause trouble, while the Jingnan Army Chief The battalion has not made any moves.
Are you waiting for an opportunity?
Zheng Fan knew that Marquis Jingnan had been waiting for the three main forces of Ganren to take the bait so that he could eat them all at once, but now there is obviously a capable person in the court of Ganren, and the one who was originally Taiwei Yang, who had "lost his power and humiliated the country" and backed down, has not been transferred and has continued his shrinking policy. Moreover, the main troops from all over Ganren have moved north.
If this is really a protracted war and cannot retreat, Yan State shouldwhat to do?
Fortunately, although Zheng Fan is an officer of the Yan people, he does not have the consciousness of being a Yan person. Being able to eat well and develop well is the first priority. As for the As for the future, let it be.
The cavalry continued to gallop until the east began to turn white. Most of the Ganren cavalry either ran out of power or saw that the border was approaching, so they gave up following.
However, there was still a cavalry force of more than a thousand people behind, still pursuing them.
It’s just that the quality of the opponent’s war horses is not as good as Zheng Fan’s, so they haven’t been able to catch up, and no one in front of them, Ganren Paoze, has launched a suicide charge to help their pursuers. Delay for a while.
Raising cavalry is very expensive. The cavalry in Cuiliu Fort are all horses from the desert, and their qualities are first-class in all aspects.
In fact, including Zheng Fan, the horses that many people in later generations are familiar with are the kind of horses seen in amusement parks or on the road. Most of them are Yunnan horses. These horses are small and tall. With strong hooves, he can climb high mountains and walk on dangerous paths, but he will not sweat even though he is dozens of miles away.
But the real war horse, the so-called "big horse", is definitely a completely different experience. Otherwise, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the era that Zheng Fan was familiar with would not have been so excited about getting the bloody horse.
Finally, the cavalry of Cuiliu Fort broke through the defense line of Qian Kingdom in front of them. This time, the fortress only let out smoke, and no one dared to come out to stop this menacing cavalry.
Zheng Fan turned around, looked at the cavalry far behind him who had been chasing after him from the outskirts of Mianzhou City last night, and smiled,
I kept quiet. The earth came,
I left again extremely arrogantly,
You chase me!
......
The silver-armored general who had led the chase for the middle of the night raised his hand. The cavalry slowed down their horses. In fact, the horses under their crotches were already a little overdrawn.
"Major General, this Yan cavalry is too fast, they still have horses to replace."
The silver-armored general's face was as dark as water,
He made a disdainful sound:
"It's not that the Yan people are fast, it's that the officers and soldiers on the three sides of my Dagang are as fearful of the enemy as tigers."
"Major General, be careful what you say. Be careful, this is not home.”
“Be careful, I, Zhong Tianlang, have never seen such useless officers and soldiers in my life!”
…………< /p>
The Western Army entered the city, and the fighting between the wolf soldiers and the local soldiers was stopped.
The Wolf Soldiers are not afraid of the local Mianzhou Qian soldiers, but they have a deep respect for the Qian Kingdom's Western Army.
A white-bearded veteran drove into Mianzhou City under the escort of his own soldiers.
Looking at the messy scene,
the veteran smiled ,
In the laughter,
with a cold feeling.
…………
In the city, an empty shopping mallIn the back kitchen of the squad house, a small figure was rummaging through the clay pots inside, and he found the salt shaker.
Take out the human head wrapped in cloth in your hand, rub several handfuls of salt, and begin to apply it on it. Inside the package, there are also accessories and documents that can prove the identity of the owner of the head.
"Come on, Your Majesty, let's wipe a little here and a little here too. Don't miss anything."
Xue San wiped it very carefully.
After killing the people, another army entered the city and quickly took control of the entire city's defense.
Xue San, who originally thought about taking the opportunity to leave with the head, muttered for a while. This soldier who appeared from nowhere had an extremely strong killing intention, and was in defense. On, very strict.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue San did not take the risk and left directly. Instead, he gave Prince Fu a powder first.
After powdering it, Xue San found some food such as bacon in the kitchen, wrapped Prince Fu's head again, and jumped into a well in the yard.
In winter, the water level was not high, and the space at the bottom of the well was actually quite large. After Xue San went down, he drank two mouthfuls of water, then took out the bacon and took two bites. It's hard to swallow.
As an assassin, waiting for the target to appear in a harsh environment, even if it takes a month, is nothing. At this point, it is just drizzle.
After eating and drinking to replenish the body's needs, Xue San held Prince Fu's head in his arms and patted it gently with his hand,
saying to himself Said to himself:
"Oh, my lord, they must have been very anxious after they found out that I was missing."
