As the saying goes, soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape;
In fact, General Zheng’s original vision was indeed for Ming’an City. He was used to doing small business, and his petty style could not be changed for the time being. Lost, fighting, for General Zheng, has nothing to do with protecting his family and the country. He has no ethics in that area, let alone much loyalty to the Yan State.
Of course, I have a good impression of Yan Guo, that's for sure, but if I insist on saying that I will devote myself to death and die, it's over, it's really over.
So, the purpose of General Zheng's war is to plunder. Military achievements are to expand territory, wealth, food and population. It is to strengthen his own strength so that he can continue to expand his army. To expand his army is to do better. Land plundering, plundering is to better expand the army.
Just ask the kid who is herding sheep what your dream is. He will answer: herding sheep and having babies. Herding more sheep will give birth to more babies.
Ming'an City, a staging ground for plundering by the barbarians, I can tell with the sole of my feet how many benefits it would be to capture it. If it was placed in the hands of the barbarians, it would be called the people's anointing stained with the blood and tears of the people of Jin, but it was captured by myself. When you come over, call it booty.
However, not long after the army set off, Liang Cheng discovered something was wrong. When the pursuers at the rear clearly had a chance to come up and bite him, they did not bite. They just continued to pretend to be groping and tracking. .
In addition, Xue San and others who had been wandering outside the main force of the army sent back news that the barbarian soldiers and horses on the east and west sides seemed to be moving.
Liang Cheng directly concluded that Ming'an City could not be defeated.
The original plan has to be changed. If we continue to rush forward headstrongly, we will really get hit to the head and bleed.
After all, at this time in this area, Sheng Lejun is considered the weak side. When you are strong, you can naturally make arrangements according to your ideas, but when you are weak, you have to follow the opponent's Dance to the beat.
The other party has a big appetite and wants to devour himself in one breath, so what else can he do? Just wash himself clean and serve him up.
Jin Shuke and the other two small vanguard armies are actually the shadow of the army. Their mission is to create the trajectory and illusion of the army's march, and induce the savages to complete the strategy they want. surrounded.
The main force of Shengle Army jumped out early before the encirclement was formed.
I jumped out and had to do something. I looked at the map and looked around again. A place caught Zheng Fan’s attention.
Snow Customs!
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the savage army originally stationed in Snow Customs was mobilized to encircle him,
An extremely empty Snow Customs appeared like this. In front of Zheng Fan and Sheng Lejun.
Zheng Fan washed his face with cold water. His body was greasy and a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to take a hot bath to feel comfortable.
When the cavalry goes out on an expedition, they must stay still and cause thunder. When Tian Wujing first opened the Jin Dynasty, he used this method.In this way, the elite Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army carefully entered Nanmen Pass via the road Qianguo. After entering the territory of Jin, they came directly and fought thousands of miles for ten days to establish victory in one fell swoop.
Zheng Fan has always believed that his Liang Cheng would not be worse than the Marquis of Jingnan in terms of leading troops. This is indeed the case. This kind of transfer with the army to successfully "escape" is not the kind of real Everyone can't play with the troops.
At least, in Zheng Fan’s opinion, if he was the one leading the army this time, he would have entered an environment surrounded by enemies, and then his subordinates would yell for him to leave, and he would die together. Die, and then his subordinates continue to persuade him to leave... This kind of cliché drama.
But now,
I can face the snow customs in the distance,
unbutton my belt,
with a happy mood Take a break.
When he came back after finishing his work, Liang Cheng was already waiting for him.
In fact, the soldiers did not have a good rest, and everyone was very tired. However, they were just a shudder away from the goal. I thought it would not be a big problem to get back on the horse and charge.
Xue San is back. It has been hard on him these days. He is tired and thin, and his third leg looks a lot shorter.
"Lord, there is no problem."
No problem means that you don't even need to think about seizing the door, you can just "Ultra".
The Sword Master walked up to Zheng Fan at this time and wanted to defeat the Snow Customs. As the Sword Master of the Jin Kingdom, he must take the lead.
Because the Snow Customs is of great significance to the land of Sanjin and the people of Jin.
Don’t care whether you want to dominate the world later, that is all a matter later. The Marquis of Jin was granted the title of Jin by the Emperor of Great Xia, and his purpose was to drive out the barbarians and bring glory to the Xia;
Snow Customs is a symbol for Jin people to expel the barbarians. This is a door. Inside the door is a paradise, and outside the door is the bitter cold snowfield.
To use a more sensational approach, this pass is a monument built by generations of Jin people.
For this reason, the Juggernaut took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to become a member of the trapped camp. This is completely normal and fits the character of the Juggernaut very well.
"Is there really no problem?" Zheng Fan asked, purely out of guilt and wanted to confirm again. After all, he was facing the Snow Customs.
"Lord, there is really no problem. You can even give a pre-war speech at this time." Xue San said, patting his short chest.
The implication is,
Leader,
This matter is not a big problem.
You can first prepare to get it when facing the reporter’s camera. The speech of own capital.
Liang Cheng also said: "Yes, my lord."
Since even Liang Cheng is sure that this battle will be okay, Zheng Fan is relieved.
As for the speech, it is a kind of torture for people in later generations who are used to listening to long and nonsense lectures, but in this era, it is still extremelyEffective.
The most important thing is that it can help Zheng Fan brush up his prestige in the military and at the same time consolidate his sense of presence.
General Zheng has been shaped by the devil under his command and has become a spiritual totem in the hearts of Shengle soldiers and civilians. They have done all the ninety-nine for you, so don’t be tired of doing that. The last step.
Zheng Fan got on his horse and took the initiative to ride towards the military formation.
After seeing General Zheng's figure, the sergeants' faces showed excitement.
Just because the military order was to sit down and rest, no one dared to stand up or move rashly.
The Sword Master looked at Xue San curiously and said:
"What is this going to do?"
"Teach before the battle to boost morale."
The sword master said "Oh" to indicate that he understood.
However, the Sword Master still turned around and looked to the north. The Snow Customs House was right there. Will there be any mistakes or accidents if we give the pre-war training now? Aren't you afraid of having a long dream all night?
But the Sword Master is indeed no longer the Sword Master before. In the past, he participated in politics and military affairs. After the collapse of his participation, he calmed down and recognized the reality clearly. That is, apart from the sword in his hand, he really has nothing else he is good at.
Zheng Fan opened his mouth and shouted:
"Soldiers of Shengle, I think you all know what the pass is called in front of you!"
p>Half of the barbarian soldiers who went on this expedition were sent out as vanguards and have not yet returned to their ranks. Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses here at this time are descended from the Jin region.
“It is the Snow Pass, a pass used by the Jin people to defend against the barbarians, the pride of the three Jin lands, and the nightmare of the barbarians for hundreds of years!
I, Zheng Fan, I'm not from Jin, but I have been to the snowy plains, and I have fought with savages. Those uncivilized bastards have no sense of shame or etiquette. They are actually a group of beasts that look like humans!"
Regional discrimination is wrong.
But in this era, facing such a group of Qiu Ba, Xia Yi must argue strictly and preserve their righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is really playing tricks on a cow. Only by using the most primitive stick of regional discrimination can Qiu Ba, a group of Jin people, feel the same way.
“But right now, they have captured the Snow Customs. They are sleeping with your Jin people’s women, they are robbing your Jin people’s food, and they are robbing your Jin people’s children!
This general is from Yan, but this general makes me angry!
After all, eight hundred years ago, we were all from the same family!
The Yan people fought against the barbarians, and the Jin people were angry! People are chasing each other, and our own families are fighting. This is a matter of brothers behind closed doors to divide the land and property. What does it have to do with him, a savage? He also wants to reach in and get a hand, a bastard, does he deserve it?"
When the sword master heard this, he subconsciously sighed:
"That makes sense."
Xue San smiled "hehe", this is called the united front against the opposition.
A Ming said: "This speech style seems familiar."
Xue San nodded and said: "The Lord is imitating the mustache speech in Chaplin's movie."< /p>
"Oh, that's it."
...
"Most of the people here are from Jin Dynasty. I want to say that this battle is not about me. The Yan people are fighting the savages, but I, the Yan people, are helping you Jin people to fight the savages!
It was you Jin people who lost Xueguan!
You Jin people are the ones who lost it! People were let in!
In the battle at Wangjiang, tens of thousands of our Yan people died, lying on the river!
But we Yan people refused to admit defeat. If we lose, we will come back. , continue to do it again!
What about you Jin people? Is this your Jin people’s home? Are the ancestral temples on this land dedicated to your ancestors?
p>When you wait a hundred years, how will you tell your ancestors under the Nine Springs that you failed to save your own land and let it become a pasture for savages?
Pick you up? sword, sit on your horses,
ahead,
Snow Customs,
take it,
go and prove that Jin The blood of the people is still there, the bravery of the Jin people is still there, and the men of the Jin people still wear luanzi on their crotches!"
The heat is almost over,
The faces of the Jin soldiers on, because anger has begun to twist.
Even the Sword Master, his breathing became much thicker.
General Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that his skill in beating chicken blood had made good progress.
Zheng Fan drew out his sword and shouted:
"Sheng Lejun!"
"Here!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Fight to the death with me!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Charge,
begins.
For a moment, thousands of horses galloped out, filled with murderous intent.
If the Savage King were here at this time and listened to Zheng Fan's pre-war mobilization, he would probably quickly regard Zheng Fan as a confidant, because everyone knows the mystery of "speech" and "chicken blood" , knowing how to mobilize the emotions of the soldiers and make them feel like dying.
After cherishing each other,
I guess they will quickly pull out a knife and stab each other to death,
Because they both know it in their hearts,
This is the case How terrible is the opponent?
Since ancient times, there have been countless capable people who are good at using magic, but what the real masters are good at is playing with people's hearts.
In short, the momentum of Sheng Lejun was completely ignited by Zheng Fan. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, these people dared to rush forward with their eyes open.
The Sword Master is also riding a horse, and the Sword Master is also holding a sword,
At this moment,
The Sword Master suddenly wanted to repeat the fight that night at the gate of Fengxin City.
However,
this was destined to disappoint the sword master,
because of the army,
rushed directly into the snow customs!
Yes, that’s right, rushed directly into the Snow Customs.
Xue San came back from the previous inspection and said with certainty that there was no problem.
Liang Cheng also gave a guarantee and felt that there was no suspense in winning this city.
This is indeed the case.
The west side of Snow Customs is connected to the branch extending eastward from the Tianduan Mountain Range, and the east side is the vast ocean.
The Snow Customs Pass that Jin people often refer to does refer to this majestic pass, but in fact, what everyone values in the real military is relying on the Snow Customs Pass as the center, and the east and west sides of the pass. A group of fire forts stretching for dozens of miles.
It was it that, for hundreds of years, locked the desire of the savages to go south.
What Sheng Lejun wants to attack at this time is Xue Customs itself.
Roughly speaking, it presents a "back" glyph layout.
To the north, there is an extremely long "one", a bit like the Great Wall, connected with the system of military fortresses.
Snow Customs is of course not just a "one", but three sides are added to the south side of this "one", forming the shape of a square city.
In order to enhance its defensive properties, when the ancestors of the Jin people built it, there was a separate expansion on the north side of the square city layout, which was a bit like a "convex".
For the sake of symmetry, there is also an expansion on the south side, showing the same posture.
But in the final analysis, the solidity of Snow Customs refers to its defensive nature built on the entire fire fort defense chain when facing attacks from the snowfields from the north.
At the same time, we must also be clear that when the ancestors of the Jin people built this pass, they had already driven the barbarians out of the three Jin lands and caught up with the snowy fields, so it only needed to bear the attack from the north. As for How could there be an attack from the south... How could there be an attack from the south?
When Zheng Fan's Sheng Le Army launched the offensive, it faced the south, attacking from south to north. There were city walls and fortifications, but they were all perfunctory and not important. The north side of Xiuxue Customs is more three-dimensional and solid.
At the same time, the funniest thing is that Xue San feels that this battle is the least challenging.
Savages,
actually broke several holes south of Snow Pass.
In other words, there is no need for a battering ram, no artillery carriage, or even a ladder. You can just lead the army to forcefully rush in through the breach and that's it.
There are two reasons why such a bizarre scene occurred.
One is because of hatred. The savages really hate this level. For hundreds of years, they have been locked by this level and cannot look south.
This is just like Zhao Laoer in that period of history that Zheng Fan is familiar with. He finally defeated Taiyuan after finally giving up his old nose. Because he suffered too much under the city of Taiyuan, he simply put this The great city was destroyed.
The same goes for the savages. They get angry when they look at the snowy customs. If they don't destroy it, they find it hard to calm down.
The second reason is that it is too troublesome to get in and out through one opening, so we might as well open a few more doors, because there are too many slaves, goods, and food to be transported to the snowfield.
It is these two strange reasons that have caused the current embarrassing situation at Xue Customs.
In fact, if the Savage King hadn’t heard the news later and knew that these subsequent tribes dared to do this, and quickly sent an envoy to scold and stop them, the Snow Customs might have been taken over by the Savages. Torn apart.
But even so, these holes are enough for Sheng Lejun to rush in directly.
The group of savage soldiers originally stationed at Snow Customs were mobilized to participate in the "encirclement". At this time, there were less than 2,000 savage warriors in the pass, and they were scattered everywhere, because There happens to be a large tribe that is transporting a large number of slaves out of the border into the snowy fields, and they need enough savage warriors to help maintain order and prevent the slaves from escaping.
For this reason, there were only a few hundred savage warriors standing guard on the city wall.
No matter how wise the king is, there is no guarantee that there will be a bunch of pig teammates underneath.
This city is simply easier to capture than the Mianzhou city that General Zheng fought when he debuted. At that time, General Zheng only had three hundred barbarians under his command, but now, there are nearly ten thousand elite cavalry!
The savages had no time to stop them, so Sheng Lejun rushed into the city and began to kill the savages when they saw them. However, there were too many monks and too few soldiers. This group of soldiers, who had been excited by General Zheng's speech just now, rushed in. Only then did they realize that there were not enough savages for them to vent their anger.
It was the Sword Master who was able to fly out with his own sword and managed to snatch three heads. To be honest, it was far different from the night in Fengxin City.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"
The soldiers of Shengle Army began to search for the wild men to kill, like a group of strong men who could not be satisfied, if it were not for Liang Cheng led a group of soldiers and horses to forcefully warn and stop them. This group of red-eyed soldiers even wanted to kill the slaves that the savages had captured and detained there. You must know that these slaves were all Jin people.
This is the shortcoming of the soldiers' passion, but fortunately it was controlled in time and no tragedy of cannibalism occurred.
General Zheng was a free man and took A Ming up the city wall early.
A Ming held a bottle of wine in his hand and drank sip after sip.
Zheng Fan held sunflower seeds in his hand and nibbled them one by one.
Both of them are good at pretending to be cool and calm in stressful and exciting situations.
"A Ming, there are two roads before me now."
"Sir, you said."
"One of them ran away after the fight."
Zheng Fan pointed at his feet,
"Because If we don’t run, at least tens of thousands of savages will come over soon. As long as they block this place, we won’t be able to escape even if we want to.
Because of the snow customs heading north, It's the snowfield, the home of the savages.
"What about the other one, don't run away?"
"Yes, don't run away, stay here."
Zheng Fan turned his head and looked behind him, where , there are many slaves who have just been rescued and are crying, and there are also many soldiers who are still searching for the hiding savages to kill.
"As long as we can hold on here, none of the savage troops that invaded south this time will be able to escape back to the snowfield."
"My lord, in fact, we have no choice. ." A Ming said.
“Why?”
“Because although Marquis Jingnan has not given us any specific tasks, he only uses us as surprise troops. But in the future, if he knows that we have captured Go to the snow customs, and then walk after the fight;
Jingnan Hou will kill you. ”
