Chapter 289: The First Plan of the Chain
The first count
"Report! King Yan attacked Xiongxian at night, and came to the order of General Yang, and asked the general to send troops to help immediately! ”
Yang Song's personal soldiers, who rushed to Gu Cheng's garrison from Xiong County, reported breathlessly, Gu Cheng was dressed in military uniform, and it seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time, and after listening to the words of the pro-soldiers, Gu Cheng Senran said: "Okay! You go back and tell General Yang that General Ben will send troops immediately! ”
The pro-soldier breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Gu Dudu, I will repay General Yang immediately." ”
"Ahh
The personal soldier who had just turned around screamed, his head fell to the ground obliquely, and blood splashed Gu Cheng's face, he didn't wipe it, he just slowly withdrew the blood-stained steel knife, and ordered lightly: "Go!" ”
Mozhou, in front of Pan Zhong, a team of Ming troops who obviously broke out of the encirclement after a bloody battle were reporting the news to him, and the person who spoke was a bearded man, named Xia Xun, this Xia Lieutenant was Yang Song's confidant and personal soldier, and his beard was from the sideburns to the chin, which made his already heroic face even more majestic.
"General Pan, Yan rebelled to attack Xiongzhou at night, General Yang Song is leading the army to fight hard, dragging the king of Yan, the general sent me to inform the general, please General Pan quickly send troops to help, General Yang has sent someone to inform the governor of Gu Chengdu, our three-way army is in one place, Yan Cheng will be able to die in Xiongxian today, general, it is not too late, and he knows a shortcut, which can go straight to Xiongxian County."
"Okay, you wait, General Ben will immediately send troops to aid Xiongxian."
Thinking that he could defeat King Yan in a battle and make immortal achievements, Pan Zhong's heart was hot, and he immediately issued a military order, the sound of horns, the three armies gathered, the combat effectiveness of the army in the early Ming Dynasty was quite strong, and the army sent by King Yan to the Northern Expedition was one of the best, well-trained, strict military discipline, less than a pillar of incense time, the three armies were assembled, and the black pressure stood all over the school field, with swords and guns, and the murderous atmosphere was full of night.
Pan Zhong hung his armor, stepped on the war horse, and said majestically: "Xia Xun, lead the way in front of the head, and go straight to Xiongxian!" ”
"Yes!"
Xia Xun took the lead in galloping out of the war horse.
Mozhou is fifty miles away from Xiongxian, Pan Zhong marched all the way, and arrived at the Yueyang Bridge at the third watch. Yueyang Bridge is twelve miles south of Xiongxian County, close to Qiu County, also known as Yiyang Bridge, a bridge flying frame, like a rainbow across the river.
The Ming Dynasty has just been established for 30 years, and there is no mediocrity. Pan Zhong with soldiers, is also a very disciplined person, although to rescue people, but is not blindly in a hurry, he observed the terrain, saw the Yueyang Bridge hanging alone on the water, the bridge is about two miles away from a hillside, the bridge opposite the moon sè under the eyesight is not far, fear that the king of Yan has an ambush, come to a half-crossing and attack, so the first order all the way to cross the river, on the opposite bank to stabilize the position, the Chinese army brigade only crossed the river.
Pan Zhong crossed the river and restrained his mount, waiting for the men and horses behind to continue to come, Pan Zhong commanded 30,000 troops, about 10,000 people left in Mozhou, and the remaining 20,000 were brought out by him, the army was vast dàngdàng, seeing that most of the past, the probe horse sent to listen to the news suddenly galloped to report, Xiongxian set up countless camps, all of them were Yanzi banners, looking from afar, but there were faint lights at the head of Xiongxian County, and there was no sound of fighting.
Pan Zhong was suspicious, and the general of Xiongxian County, who had called the news, asked, "Xia Xun, when you came to see this general, how was the situation in the city?" ”
Xia Xun hugged his fists and said: "General Hui, at that time, King Yan was on the offensive, and the sound of killing was fierce, and it was boiling against Yingtian. ”
Pan Zhong pondered for a moment, and then asked the scout horse he had sent: "What is the situation as you wait?" ”
The tanma said: "General, because there are sentinel patrols outside the Nayan military camp, so the lowly post did not dare to get too close, the lowly dismounted, quietly sneaked closer, only vaguely heard the sound of talking and laughing in the camp, and saw some campfires lit in front of the tents, as if they were cooking and eating, so they hurried back to report." ”
When Pan Zhong heard this, he sat on the spot, struck the saddle with his whip, and fell into deep thought.
In Xiongxian County, Yang Song turned off the lights, protected by two big shields, and quietly watched the movement under the city by holding on to the dish wall, a little inexplicable: "Beicheng City is still in the hands of King Yan, and it all relied on the sharp arrows of Wengcheng to be poured out like money, so he forcibly blocked his offensive, why did King Yan suddenly stop attacking?" He set up camp outside the city, and made a fire to cook, what was he going to do? ”
Hearing that the war was resting for a while, the Wei Governor and Xu Xianling, who rushed to the city to visit Yang Song, were also a little inexplicable when they looked at the movement outside the city, and the two of them got together and muttered for a long time before they said to Yang Song: "General, it is not easy to attack the city, but it is not difficult to besiege the city, could it be that King Yan wants to trap our Xiongxian to death?" ”
Yang Song smiled dumbly: "How is it possible?" Yan Wei has no reinforcements, no food and grass, he wants to take my Xiongxian County, only a quick battle, camp here and besiege the city? How unreasonable! The imperial army is coming, even if King Yan is stupid, are all the generals under him stupid? Crazy people don't make such a choice either. ”
Wei Zhifu said nervously: "Then, Yan Wei must have some kind of dangerous poisonous plan, and the general must be xiǎo hearted." ”
Yang Song frowned, stretched slightly, and said: "Yan's rebellious behavior is contrary to common sense, and General Ben also feels that there must be fraud in it." It's just ......, huh! Ignore him, the general will not change everything, and when the reinforcements arrive, Yan Zhizong is full of wisdom, how can the grasshopper shake the tree? Pass the order, be on guard, and wait for reinforcements! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"General Pan, my General Yang has given thousands of instructions, saying that King Yan concentrated 30,000 troops to attack Xiongxian, and there are only less than 10,000 people in the city, so it may be difficult to support it for a long time, how can the general stop and support the army, saving the army is like fighting a fire, general!"
Because Pan Zhong did not move forward, Xia Xun knelt down on one knee in front of Pan Zhong, bitterly pleaded his feelings, looking worried about the boss and anxious, Pan Zhong's eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiongxian does not need to be saved, looking at this situation, Xiongxian must have fallen into the hands of King Yan, King Yan is newly victorious, morale is like a rainbow, and the soldiers are all in the general, the only way to plan now is to return to Mozhou first, and then make a decision." ”
Xia Xun was "shocked" and hurriedly said: "General, what about my General Yang?" ”
Pan Zhong looked back in the direction of Xiongxian County and said lightly: "If General Yang hadn't broken through and fled, I'm afraid he would have been martyred at this moment, let's go!" ”
"The general can't go!"
Xia Xun jumped up and grabbed the reins of his horse, and begged bitterly: "General, taking advantage of the Yan army's unstable foothold, he will suddenly kill the general at this moment, maybe he can be caught off guard and rescue my general!" ”
"Fart!"
Vice Admiral Pan Zhong pointed at Xia Xun with a horsewhip and shouted: "People have even set up camps and cooked rice, and you still say that your foothold is not stable?" ”
Deputy General Yu turned to Pan Zhong and said: "My lord, Xiongxian has been lost, and our army is inferior to the enemy, so let's go back to Baomozhou, otherwise we will lose the fundamentals, and I am afraid that your lord will also be punished by General Geng." ”
Pan Zhong bowed his head and said: "What General Yu said is very true, give an order, quickly return to Mozhou!" ”
The order was passed down, and the rear team of Pan Zhong's army became the front team, and the front team became the rear team, and began to return to Mozhou. Although this army was well-trained, but all the way to the hurried march here, suddenly went back again, the army moved, back and forth, and could not help but feel a while, especially when the soldiers heard that Xiongxian had been lost, and the general returned without a fight, and their morale could not help but be low.
When he was making a mess, he heard a trumpet, and when he came, countless people and horses suddenly killed in the hillside forest not far from the shore, and they went straight to the bridge to intercept him, Pan Zhong was shocked: "It's not good! There is an ambush, cross the river, cross the river quickly! ”
When he was determined to attack Xiongxian, he already understood that Geng Bingwen's soldiers and horses were each other's horns, supporting each other, taking care of each other, bullying him with few soldiers, and the defense he did during the offensive could be described as leaky, at that time he had decided to send Zhu Neng and Zhang Yù, two henchmen, to block Gu Cheng and Pan Zhong's men and horses respectively, and he himself attacked Xiongxian, no matter how much it cost, this battle must be won!
Unexpectedly, Xia Xun sent him a great news at the critical moment, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and immediately revised the original plan, his goal was not only a city in Xiongxian, he wanted to use a series of tactics to completely disintegrate Geng Bingwen's offensive, and beat the imperial army to run away.
This time, Zhu Di also concentrated the army that was originally intended to be divided with Zhu Neng to block Gu Cheng under Xiongxian County to ensure the capture of Xiongxian County, while Zhang Yù's army was still ambushed by the Yueyang Bridge according to the original plan, and his chain plan was only the first link.
Pan Zhong was ambushed, and it was at the critical moment when the army turned its head and was preparing to withdraw to Mozhou, the morale was low, the formation was húnluàn, and Zhang Yiù led the army to rush, and immediately killed a surprise, the three armies were big luàn, Pan Zhong was struggling to support, and a large army was killed in the oblique stab, and the banner was clearly seen under the torch illumination, and it turned out to be Gu Cheng's soldiers and horses who should have been guarding in Juzhou.
"Gu Cheng is also reversed?"
Pan Zhong was even more unintentional under the horror, and immediately broke through in the direction of Mozhou, the commander fled, and the army was defeated like a mountain for a while, and the entire Pan Zhong's army rushed to Mozhou like flowing water.
Pan Zhong was galloping on his horse, and suddenly found that there was a horse beside him that had been walking an inch, and turned his head to see that the bearded face under the bright moonlight was not Xia Xun, the captain sent by Xiongxian County to move the rescuers.
Pan Zhong sighed secretly, and was about to say something, when his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Huh? Captain Xia, your beard ......"
The beard on Xia Xun's face thought that the glue was loose, and the horse ran fast, so it was blown away by the wind, shaking in the wind, Xia Xun took a handful, laughed and tore off his beard, and said: "The beard is not glued well, but General Pan is laughing." ”
Pan Zhong was shocked and blurted out: "You are jiān fine!" ”
Xia Xun smiled: "The general is really wise!" ”
As soon as his arm was raised, he didn't know what flew out of his palm, Pan Zhong seemed to be tied with a fairy rope, his arms were entangled and strong, Xia Xun pulled hard, Pan Zhong left the horse, and was pressed on his saddle bridge by Xia Xun. Xia Xun took the horse and captured the general, and Pan Dudu was captured alive by him in a daze.
Zhang Yiyi, who was covered in blood, looked at Pan Zhong who was brought to him in frustration, and laughed at Gu Cheng: "General Gu, since Pan Zhong has been captured alive, we can take him to Mozhou, summon the defenders there, and move the grain and grass there." ”
Zhang Yù looked at Xia Xun again, couldn't help but hug his fists to him, and said convincingly: "Brother Yang is wise and brave, Xiōng Zang Taoluo, and 100,000 victorious soldiers, Zhang Yù sincerely admires it, this second plan in a series has to rely on Brother Xian to make a great achievement!" ”
Xia Xun also smiled politely: "Why should General Zhang be polite, I'm going here!" ”
At this time, under Xiongxian County, there is already a resurgence of killing!
