Chapter 80: The Battle of Fengyang (3)
"My lord, Cheng Dong understands. You don't need to say much. I will fully cooperate with Huang Xin to fight the first battle of our Anqing Town. I promise you won't be embarrassed. Li Chengdong was very excited, everyone in the past regarded him as Wang Feng's henchman in the army, and even he himself regarded himself as Wang Feng's confidant, and today Wang Feng personally said that he was his person. How can this not make Li Chengdong excited, after all, what he thinks is not as good as what the party said.
"I'm relieved if you think so, and I will definitely protect you to the emperor after this war is over. Wang Feng was very satisfied with Li Chengdong's answer.
"The last general has thanked you. ”
"Da Niu, you and Chengdong must fight well this time, play the prestige of our Anqing Town, and let them see that our Anqing Town is also a good hand at fighting.
"Yes, sir. ”
"Quick, quick, the back catch up, hurry. Ma Shouying kept urging his men.
Looking at the endless procession behind the horse, Ma Shoude's face was a smug look, and he still clearly remembered that a year ago, he was ordered by Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, to take dozens of people from Henan to the Dabie Mountain to organize the local people's uprising. Now a year has passed, and with his propaganda in the Dabie Mountains, he has pulled up a team of 200,000. Even King Chuang had to look at himself differently, and this time he attacked Fengyang and asked himself to send troops to help, which made Ma Shou feel proud for a while. But the only thing he felt uncomfortable in his heart was that this team was not all up to him. He Yilong, Liu Xiyao, what are they, they are still on an equal footing with themselves.
It turned out that since Ma Shouying came to Dabie Mountain, on the one hand, he recruited the support of a large number of displaced people in the name of King Chuang, and on the other hand, in the face of the uprising in full swing, the landlords around Dabie Mountain panicked, and they were also afraid that the displaced people would rob them of their property. He Yilong and Liu Xiyao joined at that time to form the current Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left.
Originally, Ma Shouying thought that with his hard work in the army, the leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left would not be able to escape. But who knew that this king did not set up a leader, but divided the five battalions of Gezuo into five, each commanding his own subordinates.
was full of hope, but it turned out to be like this. Ma Shou should be a little unconvinced, he He Yilong and Liu Xiyao are nothing, and they can be on an equal footing with themselves. Although the most elite cavalry of the 5th Battalion of the Left was in their own hands. But Ma Shouying, who was not the commander, began to complain about Gao Yingxiang.
"Report, Commander Ma, the commander of my family invites you to go to the discussion. Just as Ma Shouying kept complaining. He Yilong sent his subordinates to invite him to discuss the matter.
In this attack on Fengyang, the fifth battalion of Gezuo poured out. Walking at the forefront of the army was He Yilong, and because Ma Shou should have troops, most of them were cavalry, and they were highly mobile. At the back of the line. That's why He Yilong sent someone to ask Ma Shouying to discuss the matter.
"All the leaders are here! Ma Shouying arched his hand at He Yilong and the others on the horse.
"Commander Ma!" He Yilong, Liu Xiyao returned the salute on the horse.
"I don't know what Commander He invited me to do?" Ma Shouying didn't go around in circles, and asked directly.
He Yilong held back the disgust in his heart, "Commander Ma, you don't know, in front of you is the Yumai Laoye Ridge of the Dabie Mountain Range, where the terrain is high and easy to ambush. I'm afraid that there is an ambush here for the officers and soldiers, so I would like to ask the commander to come over and refer to it together. ”
"Reference, I guess I want my people to open the way for you to die!" Ma Shouying thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it in his mouth. "Hahahaha, when did Commander He become so timid! Where did the officers and soldiers come from, where did the officers and soldiers come from when we were afraid of them?"
"The terrain ahead is indeed dangerous, but we have 200,000 soldiers and horses, as long as we form a group and rush through there quickly, we can rush over, and the eight kings are still waiting for us in Fengyang, if Commander He is afraid, then let me be the vanguard and let you see." Ma Shouying was deliberately excited.
"I'm afraid, what can I be afraid of, what is the fifth battalion of Gezuo to be afraid of, I will be the vanguard, let Commander Ma see that our Geli eyes are not vegetarians. Being so provoked by Ma Shouying, He Yilong rushed to play the striker.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Commander He!" Ma Shouying was secretly happy.
"Commander, do you think there are any ambushes ahead?" On the way back, Ma Shouying's lieutenant general asked.
"I'm not interested in whether there is an ambush soldier or not, I am only interested in whether he has suffered a loss. Haha, ride!" Ma Shouying kept twitching the horse and galloped quickly.
"Commander, are we really going to pull the troops up?" Ma Shouying had just left, and He Yilong's lieutenant didn't know how to deploy his subordinates.
"Am I so stupid? If there is an ambush, then we still have a way to live! So you send 10,000 brothers to explore the way in front, and the rear army and the front army keep a distance of five kilometers, and if the front army is okay, the rear army can advance. Haha, the old horse head wants to be difficult to stop me!" He Yilong couldn't help but admire his wisdom.
"My lord, why haven't they come yet? On the hillside, Huang Xin had been ambushing on Lao Ye Ridge with 3,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters for three hours! Many soldiers began to become impatient.
"Rest assured, this is the only way to Fengyang. They will definitely come, we will wait, wait. Huang Xin kept comforting his subordinates, in fact, Huang Xin was more anxious than anyone else at this moment, and it stands to reason that they must take this road. But it hasn't arrived for so long, which makes Huang Xin feel uneasy. Looking at the rolling stones, wooden barriers, and bamboos piled up next to it. If the peasant army does not come at this time, then the brothers' efforts will not be in vain!
"Quick, quick, look, my lord, they're coming!" Just when Huang Xin was thinking about it. The lieutenant next to him shouted excitedly.
As the adjutant general's fingers looked, the flag covered the sky. A group of ragged rogues are striding towards the valley with their jagged weapons in their hands.
"My lord, see if you have informed the brothers to do it. Seeing that most of the Liukou had already entered the valley, the deputy general who couldn't wait hurriedly asked Huang Xin for instructions.
"Okay, tell the brethren to do it. Huang Xin, who had been waiting for a long time, was also holding back his anger, and when he saw that the rogues had entered the trap, he was about to teach the rogues a hard lesson.
"Okay, make sure they look good. "The lieutenant general is preparing to leave the development order.
"Slow..."Huang Xin hurriedly shouted, as if he had seen something.
