The new phase of the war has begun. On the Wangjiang River, which had been peaceful for a long time, the sound of fighting and iron horses sounded again.
If at the beginning, the Yan people helped the Cheng people or helped the Jin people to expel the barbarians and annex the Cheng country, then now, the nature of the war has changed. This is a war that belongs to the Yan people. Man's battle for revenge.
The Yan people, who have been proud for hundreds of years, have never suffered such a miserable defeat. They urgently need a new victory to dust off the dust that has just been stained on their glory.
Even when the fight with the barbarians was the most fierce, after the defeat, they immediately gathered a new group of troops and continued to fight with the barbarians, fighting bravely and ruthlessly. This is something that is imprinted in the bones of the Yan people. If they were a little softer, the Yan people might not even have the country anymore, let alone their current national power.
On that day, tens of thousands of corpses of Yan people were floating in Wangjiang River. It was a blood debt that must be repaid!
......
After nightfall, Shengle's army began to cross the river. The frozen river surface had been paved with everything available nearby to facilitate the passage of the army to the greatest extent.
Because they were well prepared, the army crossed the river very quickly. Everything seemed orderly and without any trouble.
The more than a thousand riders who crossed the river first, led by Liang Cheng, did not choose to deploy defenses and cover on the other side. Instead, they took the initiative to swim upstream and began to sweep away the Chu people. Sentinel Cavalry.
This is to learn from the lesson of the last failure of the Left Route Army, and to take the lead to expand the blind spot of the Chu army's military vision along this line, so that it will not be able to figure out the situation at the first time, and wait until midnight , the army has all crossed the river, the Chinese army directly changed into the vanguard army, and the rear army became the middle army, and then sent sentry cavalry to notify Liang Cheng's unit. The original vanguard army followed up the main force of the army as the rear army after sweeping around.
Perhaps the Yan people crossed the river too quickly and too suddenly. In addition, in order to cross the river this time, San'er and his men did a lot of checking back and forth, cooperating with the advance of the civilian husband. The preparations are laid, so after the whole process is completed, it is a smooth experience.
Before dawn, Sheng Le's army had already penetrated deep into the east bank and basically broke away from the Chu army's Wangjiang defense line. The Chu army had no time to stop or respond.
Next, the Shengle Army will become a completely isolated army, and the following time will be the so-called...free activities.
Tian Wujing understands Zheng Fan's "skills".
It's possible.
In the view of Jingnan Hou, given Zheng Fan's military level and With his vision, sending his troops to the rear without imposing any restrictions or fixing any goals will allow Zheng Fan to perform better.
And to a certain extent, Zheng Fan can be regarded as his "favorite disciple" of Tian Wujing. Jingnan Hou has only taught one student in his life, and he has truly bound him to his handsome account. On the other hand, even the eldest prince, who was the one who warned him every morning and night, was not treated so well.
That paragraphTime and Zheng Fan's performance made Marquis Jingnan very satisfied.
During that time, General Zheng was indeed under a lot of pressure. It was as if he was back in school and busy preparing for exams every day. Fortunately, he had the selfless help of the top students around him, and he was able to cope with the harshness. mentor.
On Jingnanhou's chessboard, Zheng Fan's Sheng Lejun is a living chess piece. When it is placed in that position, it can often bring great changes to you.
As for the front,
it is up to him, Marquis Jingnan, to control it.
......
After the army crossed the river,
General Zheng once again performed a unique skill that was not included in "Zheng Zi's Art of War" - double letting go .
In an instant, he changed from a high-ranking leader of an army to a simple soldier;
So simple that even his horse and armor were no more than the other soldiers around him. The difference is that it can be said to be a model that is very close to the people and does not do anything special!
The command of the army was naturally given to Liang Cheng.
In fact, after two years of training, General Zheng's level has been greatly improved, and it is not that he himself does not want to practice his skills.
It’s like someone who just got a driver’s license and looks at the steering wheel and feels itchy to try it out.
But the problem is that the cost of this operation is really too high, and the consequences are countless times more serious than scratching someone's car on the road.
The life and death of tens of thousands of people are often decided by you in a single thought, especially when there is an eldest prince beside you who has just had high hopes and then lost a battle. As a warning, General Zheng decided to make another decision on his own to be on the safe side. Keep watching and watching.
Wait a little longer,
Wait until your family is kind and you can let yourself fail, then you can do it yourself.
After the army marched eastward, they did not take any rest. The luxurious equipment of Sheng Le's army was perfectly reflected at this time. Generally, they were equipped with one person and two horses. Some barbarian soldiers were even more extravagant with one person and three horses. , two war horses and a camel, thus ensuring the mobility and sustainability of the army.
This is also due to the fact that Shengle City received a huge supply of war horses during Jingnanhou’s last expedition to the snowy plains. In this expedition, all the family assets were shaken off and brought out. Anyway, it was just a bet on this. Bundle.
If you win, you will be able to make a young model, but if you lose, you will be able to move bricks on the construction site!
Zheng Fan reached out and touched the magic pill in the groove on his chest,
then looked at A Ming, who was galloping on horseback in front of him,
again Looking at the Juggernaut riding side by side,
Huh,
I feel much more at ease in my heart.
This feeling of thousands of horses galloping made Zheng Fan couldn't help but recall the scene when he followed Li Fusheng into the Qian Kingdom at Cuiliu Fort.
It’s just that at that time, I and the soldiers and horses under my command were just additions, but now, I am already on my own.
The Juggernaut seems to be particularly excited. To be honest, he has been suppressed for a long time. This year, it can be said that it has been a really bad year. He can't do anything and lose the first place.
Now, he has been relieved of all responsibilities and burdens. He only needs to be responsible for killing people and killing people with a sword.
Perhaps this is the true happiness that belongs to the Sword Master.
"How far is it? How far is Fengxin from here!"
The sword master asked Zheng Fan.
When the Sword Master spoke, he didn’t need to yell, he could directly use his Qi to transmit it. Zheng Fan could hear it very clearly. But when Zheng Fan replied, he had to yell back because there were thousands of horses galloping around and the momentum was really too loud. .
"Are you from Jin or am I from Jin? You actually ask me about this!"
"I don't know."
The sword master replied Very straightforward.
Because Fengxin is not a famous city, nor is it a major military town. It is actually famous for Fengxin Paper, which is the favorite of painters. Therefore, the Sword Master has never been there.
It can be said that if Situ Yi had not moved the capital of the fake Cheng Dynasty here, this small county called Fengxin would probably not have needed to be paid attention to in this war. This kind of small county basically It all depends on what can be communicated after the war is over and the situation has been decided.
But history is often so magical. This small county famous for its papermaking industry will definitely be heavily added to the history books in the future.
"It's almost time. We'll probably arrive at night." Zheng Fan shouted.
This is calculated based on the speed of a long-distance attack. The purpose is to create a time difference. When the messengers from the front reporting to the rear can't run as fast as Zheng Fan's army, you let Feng Xincheng How did the other side have time to react?
And there are no complete inns along the route, let alone any beacon towers. The Situ family’s original beacon lookout system relied on the line from Tianduan Mountain Range to Xuehaiguan, and did not even think about their own country. The hinterland will become the main battlefield for many parties to compete.
And this is actually the horror of the cavalry in this era. In the era without telegraphs and telephones, the rapid movement of the cavalry was enough to make any defensive generals miserable.
The Sword Master's face turned slightly red.
He actually said to Zheng Fan in an awkward manner:
"My sword, I can't help but want to drink it." It’s bloody!”
It is obviously a first-class sword in the world, and in Zheng Fan’s opinion, certain aspects of the Sword Master’s character traits can definitely make Zheng Fan willingly consider him to be the best swordsman in the world. .
It’s just that the Sword Master was a bit miserable. He first lost his family, then his country, and then himself. He lost three times in a row. From the individual to the family to the country, everything was almost ruined.
"Let me help you!"
Zheng Fan shouted loudly.
"You're a knife user, what kind of sword do you know?"
This is a chain of contempt for weapons. Those who play with swords look down on those who use swords.
"I can help you pack it!"
"What, the paste?"
"..." Zheng Fan.
......
Although the march of the army has been in a rhythm, the subdivided responsibilities of each unit are still very clear. At this time, Jin is the vanguard. The eldest prince is also among Shuke's troops.
Pixiu's running speed is indeed faster than that of a war horse, and his endurance is better. The eldest prince is like a courier boy who drives a Lamborghini to work at the courier station. He can't keep a low profile even if he wants to.
However, he has always abided by his duties. Since he was demoted by Marquis Jingnan to be a school captain here, he has always followed Jin Shuke's orders and has never exceeded his authority.
At dusk, the vanguard army arrived at the outskirts of Fengxin City.
"Listen to me, in this section, everyone who can be seen, whether they are soldiers or civilians, shoot them all!"
Jin Shu Ke He gave the order directly to his men. He needed to take the 700 or 800 men under his command to disperse quickly to provide cover for the arrival of the subsequent army.
At this moment, there is no time for you to distinguish clearly which are the enemy troops and which are the common people. Even if it is a common person, who can guarantee that he will not spread the news?
The shooting operation began, and the eldest prince also joined the cleanup without any complaints.
After the sun completely set, Jin Shuke and the eldest prince came a little closer to the city.
Fengxin City is not big, and the city walls are not high. It looks a bit in disrepair. All in all, it is not a strong city. There are many tents outside the city, and cheers, laughter and curses can be heard from time to time. , and a woman’s cry.
To the west and north of the city, there are two military strongholds, which are set up very casually. To the south and east of the city, they look like refugee settlements, and many nearby refugees gather here.
"Ha."
Jin Shu couldn't help but laugh. You know, you know that this is the capital of a country in front of you. You don't know, you thought it was a city. Where's the bandit's den?
In fact, Situ Yi still had some ambitions from the very beginning. The seven imperial edicts when he first ascended the throne and founded the country can be seen that although he did things that betrayed the country and sought glory, he was not completely brainless. He really thought about doing it well, establishing a new Dacheng Kingdom, and restoring the glory of the Situ family.
In the Battle of Wangjiang, Situ Yi was sold out and Yupan City was occupied by the Chu people. He had no choice but to "move the capital" to this remote town. Therefore, at this time, he had already Completely giving up on myself.
"I estimate that there should be almost 20,000 troops inside and outside the city." The eldest prince said.
This is the final secret of the "dynasty" in front of us.
Perhaps, Situ Yi himself has already made up his mind to ask for a "guoguo" from the barbarians or the Chu people after the war is over, and has no intention of pursuing anything else.The more trouble you put in, the sooner you may be finished. If you can get the treatment of a "rich man and noble man", you will be satisfied.
Of course, the premise is that the Yan people cannot defeat Wangjiang.
“I said that when we just cleaned up here, we didn’t see many people on the road. Even in some villages, there were only a few left. These gangsters harmed their own people more than us ‘foreign enemies’ They are all ruthless.
My lord, tell me, if we lead five hundred cavalry and charge directly, is there any chance of seizing the door? ”
There should be news about the resumption of fighting on the front line. It was not passed here, so Fengxin City is basically undefended at the moment, and the city gates are not closed after nightfall. Soldiers come in and out from time to time, not patrolling, but having fun. It is a bandit's den, isn't it at night? Are you all having fun?
"You want to do it?"
The eldest prince looked at Jin Shuke.
Jin Shuke bit it, obviously weighing it. After a while, he shook his head and said:
"Forget it, the general has arrangements."
If he is just a pure vanguard, then he can do many things on the fly, but he has actually received specific military orders before setting off. If he wants to forcefully take risks under such circumstances, even if he succeeds in the end, It’s also that the sin outweighs the merit.
"Arrangement?" The eldest prince immediately understood and said, "General Zheng had plans for Situ Yi early in the morning?"
Jin Shuke nodded and said, "Yes. ”
There is nothing to hide.
"Gu Gu... Gu Gu... Gu Gu..."
Jin Shuke heard the bird call and immediately stood up and raised his hand He raised his hand and shouted to a group of men around him:
"My people, put away your bows!"
The surrounding barbarian soldiers put away their bows and arrows.
Immediately,
Xue San’s figure walked out from the dead wood forest to the west of the crowd.
There is a group of people who actually arrived faster than the vanguard army, that is, Xue San and his spies. They sneaked across the river and arrived here nearly two days ahead of the main army.
Xue San just nodded to Jin Shuke, then sat down, chewing silently with a grass stem in his mouth.
Seeing that Xue San did not want to communicate, Jin Shuke honestly did not step forward and continued to arrange the defense of his subordinates.
Not long after, a knight came on horseback. After seeing Jin Shuke and Xue San on the other side, he immediately got off his horse and knelt on one knee in front of Xue San.
Before he could speak, Xue San asked directly:
"How long will the army be needed?"
"Half an hour."
< p>"Okay, I got it."Immediately, Xue San turned to look at Jin Shuke, and shook his head helplessly. Then, Xue San turned his eyes to the eldest prince again and said:
"Your Highness, do you want us to go in and play together?"
"Shall we seize the door?"
"Yes,Your Highness. ”
“Wherever you can find me, it all depends on your instructions. ”
Xue San smiled and nodded with satisfaction after hearing the words.
Not long after, there was the sound of war horses approaching. There were not many cavalry, only dozens, and the leader was none other than Zheng Fan. .
Beside Zheng Fan, there were Sword Master and A Ming.
After Zheng Fan dismounted, he looked at Xue San and asked, "How are you preparing?" "
"Go back to the general, my subordinates are ready, we can leave now. "
Zheng Fan nodded, indicating that he understood, and said at the same time:
"Let's start, the army is coming soon. "
"You, you, you, you, you, and you, you, come with me. Let's get ready and change our clothes. ”
The last two of you are facing the eldest prince and the sword master respectively.
The clothes have been prepared a long time ago. He was holding a box, and when he opened it, he found a set of fairly exquisite civilian clothes, mainly scribes' robes.
"Take off your armor and change into these clothes. I have already arranged them." , let’s enter through the West City Gate and capture the West City Gate. "
The people around him began to change their clothes. The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, then took off his armor and chose a white scribe's robe to wear.
"You need to spend this money. effort? ”
The Sword Master looked at Xue San with some doubts.
He felt that with his own sword and dozens of people, rushing over in one wave would be enough to defeat him. The city gate was blocked, waiting for the army to rush in.
He is a sword master, and he does have the confidence to think so.
But Xue San shook his head and said: "Life requires rituals. Sorry, besides, there are still a lot of soldiers and horses in the military camp outside. "
The sword master no longer insisted and chose a navy blue gown to change into.
Xue San took out a few more boxes from the box and said: < /p>
"Well, look at how strong the horse smell is on each of you. Rub this and suppress the smell so that you don't smell it. ”
As he said that, Xue San took the initiative to help the eldest prince wipe it with kindness and enthusiasm.
The eldest prince stood there and allowed Xue San to apply makeup and powder.
Xue San turned to Juggernaut again,
Juggernaut was obviously a little resistant to this,
But when Xue San said that the overall situation was the most important thing,
Juggernaut still He gave in.
Now, as long as he can come to the city gate to kill people, he is willing to do anything.
Xue San then looked at A Ming, confused. Said: "Why didn't you change your clothes? ”
“I have to protect the Lord. "A Ming's answer was impeccable.
"Come on, big guy, follow me. My people are waiting for us in front. Be more natural later. Don't be restrained. Wait until you reach the city gate. After you get down, wait for my order before taking action. No matter what happens along the way, you have to endure it! "
Xue San gave another order and left with the nine people.
Zheng Fan looked at A Ming curiously and said, "Aren't you going to have fun?"
A Ming shook his head and said, "It's definitely not good."
Zheng Fan nodded in agreement,
and said:
“So I didn’t go either.”
……
In front, there was indeed a response person, and three bullock carts were waiting.
Xue San motioned for the eldest prince, Sword Master and others to sit up, and motioned for the people in front to pull the cart.
The ox cart advanced slowly.
The eldest prince kept looking around, but he found that his team was passing through the military camp in such a grand manner. When the nearby rebel soldiers saw them, they were just laughing, but did not step forward to stop or interrogate them.
Is defense so lax?
What’s so special about this team that you and others are in? So trusted by the rebels here?
The Sword Master also noticed that the rebel soldiers passing by were just pointing and laughing at the people sitting on the bullock carts, but did not pay much attention to them.
When the team was almost at the gate of the West City, a man with a big belly who looked like a general came over drunkenly surrounded by several soldiers and stopped the car.
"Stop, don't go forward, stop, stop for me, general!"
For a moment, everyone on the carriage held their breath. He lost his breath.
Has he been discovered?
"Grandma, let me take a look at it. Let me take a closer look. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he is so handsome."
This rebel general came closer first. Pointing at the eldest prince, he said:
"A bit darker, but tough, tsk tsk, with that wild and untamable smell."
Then,
The rebel general looked at the sword master sitting on the other side again,
said:
"A bit old, but with a small face and small hands, he is really She is white and tender, and her body must be very soft, and she will definitely be able to serve others, hahaha.
Okay, I have decided on these two rabbits."
"... ..." The eldest prince.
"..." Sword Master.
