Chapter 12: The Weak and Fearful Army
'Are you blind to my father's hard work?' Zhao Yingchun stood in front of Yun Zheng and roared angrily.
Yun Zheng patted Zhao Yingchun's head and said: "What your father's suicide note says must be a golden jade good word, I am sure of it, but I am about to fight, and I don't want to be affected by your father's suicide note, what I am thinking about now is how to eliminate Huang Shimi under the hot spring pass, and when I finish the battle, I will definitely read it well." ‘
Zhao Yingchun hugged the small package and cried very sadly, the children hugged her side, comforting her sister while glaring at Yun Zheng with her eyes, the youngest one, holding Yun Zheng's leg and biting, Yun Zheng broke free with a smile, signaled Lao Shao to take care of them, and went to the front camp.
I can't look at the suicide notes of those people with lofty ideals, this kind of thing is too demagogic, too lethal to people like themselves, their farewell letters, or decapitated poems are wrapped in strong personal charm, and they will break the dam of other people's reason.
Last year's intelligence was delivered this year, and it was already late, no matter what was said, it was too late, and the battle plan of the Wusheng Army had already been formulated in Shuzhong, and it could not be changed!
Yun Zheng, who was standing at the head of the city, hoped very much that Huang Shimi would come to the city now and immediately start a life-and-death battle, only the gushing blood could wash away the anger in his heart. Zhao Yingchun carried his younger brother on his back and found two children who did not die in the pile of dead people to raise them for a year, which is the biggest challenge for a pampered young lady.
Lao Shao told him that several children were skinny and skinny, and he didn't know what was going on the girl's body, but on the bodies of the three male babies, there were injuries pecked out by birds, and there were also wounds bitten by wild dogs, and the four or five-year-old babies had a thick layer of cocoons on their feet.
The scouts of the Wu Sheng army kept retreating from the distant mountains, which meant that the enemy was very close, and Yun Zheng checked his deployment again and found no loopholes. It's time for a fight.
The crows on the other side of the mountain flew up, and they didn't dare to fall for a long time, their home had become Huang Shimi's camp, and Yun Zheng didn't plan to harass them. didn't plan to ambush, just planned to wait for him at Hot Spring Pass, Huang Shimi wanted to return to Yongzhou, Hot Spring Pass was a place he had to pass through.
In the early morning, a black man ran over from the other side of the mountain, this is a standard Guangyuan man, not tall, but he is very imposing, and he stood impatiently at the bottom of the hot spring pass and asked Yun Zheng to welcome him in.
Zhou Tong stood at the head of the city, not understanding what this person was going to do. He shot the impatient Guangyuan man to death with a crossbow arrow, which was the first sharp arrow shot by Wu Shengjun in Guangnan.
The strange muffled sound of the copper drum with the sound of metal breaking came from the other side of the valley, and many Guangyuan troops carrying long shuttle darts and bamboo rows turned out from the other side of the valley. There are a lot of people. It was full of pits, and the ranks were not neat, but it was obvious that they were divided into three phalanxes and slowly approached the juncture.
Yun Zheng was a little disappointed, this was completely different from the siege warfare he knew, there were no trebuchets, no crossbow arrow phalanx, no warriors in armor. Not even a few generals on horseback were seen, there were no tactics, no encirclement, not even any rules, they just rushed up like that, without saying a word. This reminded Yun Zheng of those sheep who were silent when they were dying.
They actually walked along the simple bridges that Yun Zheng had built over the trench earlier, and they didn't even care if there was a problem with those bridges...... Their only defensive weapon is to hold the bamboo raft in their hands high......
Yun Zheng thought that the siege of the city should be tested no matter what, at least to know where it is better to attack, and to use cannon fodder to test whether the side defending the city is resolute, all these things Huang Shimi omitted. He sent people to attack the city directly.
The inexplicable Yun Zheng wanted to take a look at what Zhao Yingchun and his father left behind at this time, did he face such an enemy as soon as he introduced the civil official, and only then did he take three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled to kill dozens of Nong Zhigao.
Liang Ji, Peng Jiu and the people of Jiazi Battalion have all followed Yun Zheng to Qingtang and Western Xia, and the army there is very clear about what it looks like, and they thought that Nong Zhigao, who swept the southwest, was probably like that, God knows that these people are not as good as the bandits in Shu.
"General, will there be an ambush?" Liang Ji asked Yun Zheng in a low voice: "This fucking fraud has gone too far, is Lao Tzu a fool?" ”
At the beginning of the war, Yun Zheng never expected Huang Shimi's army to dare to walk through the second trench, but now they are advancing towards the third trench with high spirits.
"Fight, fight, they're coming!" Zhao Yingchun stood inside the city wall and urged Yun Zheng with tears streaming down her face, God knows how she ran from the back camp.
Huang Shimi didn't have a catapult, no crossbow arrows, and there seemed to be a little bamboo bow, this thing was no threat to the command post where Yun Zheng was staying now, so Yun Zheng didn't stop Zhao Yingchun from climbing up the ladder.
"Fight, fight, you have been broken? Fight, fight, they will be on the edge of the wall. As soon as Zhao Yingchun climbed up, he shook Yun Zheng's arm like crazy and screamed.
"This is fucking death." Even literati like Su Xun were disdainful.
"Lord, you said that these people came to die like this, didn't it?"
Su Xun slapped Liang Ji on the back of his head and scolded: "Have you ever seen 10,000 people to make a plan?" Huang Shimi's total is less than 40,000 people. ”
Yun Zheng shook his head, covered Zhao Yingchun's eyes with his hand and nodded to the monkey, the monkey waved the flag in his hand, and Zhou Tong, who had been waiting impatiently, ordered the arrow to be released.
With a "hum", the crossbow strings in the hot spring pass almost only made a sound, and a dark cloud flew out of the city, Zhao Yingchun broke Yun Zheng's hand, and saw a cloud falling into the military formation of the Guangyuan Army from his fingers.
The arrows flew to a high place, and after the strength was exhausted, they began to fall, and the sound of the three-edged arrows breaking through the wind was very terrifying, like the neighing of a poisonous snake.
Guangyuanjun finally stopped being silent, and the screams rang out, the simple bamboo raft could not stop the special three-edged thorns, and where the arrows fell, blood splashed.
After three consecutive fires, the Guangyuan army had already begun to escape, so the crossbow guns tied to the eight-ox crossbow with a fire cloth flew out with a flash of fire, first lighting the third bridge full of oil, then the second, and the third...... Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tong began to shoot arrows continuously according to the calculated position, just like harvesting crops, harvesting one field after another.
"The bridges should not be lit, there is no need for this, and my cavalry will use those bridges when they go to battle, lest I have to relay the planks, which will be too cumbersome, and it will be four miles from the city down to the bend of the mountain, which is enough for us to gallop." Liang Ji went down the city wall as he spoke, he was already ready to attack.
The armor soldiers led by Peng Jiu were already standing in the gap in the city wall, waiting for Liang Ji's cavalry to disrupt the enemy's battle formation and then began to fight out of the city, but he thought that it seemed that there was no need to do that, and the current Guangyuan army was already very chaotic.
Liang Ji's cavalry still went out, and today's Liang Ji changed to a big knife, and he didn't use the hammer he was used to, and rushed left and right in the enemy's camp like Guan Yunchang descending into the world......
Yun Zheng's troops on the top of the mountain on both sides who were ready to flank Huang Shimi also ran down the mountain with a shout, and Peng Jiu held a horse chopping knife in his hand and already set off a bloody storm in the crowd......
Zhou Tong's crossbowmen all climbed to the city wall, condescendingly and constantly shooting any living Guangyuan army, just like shooting targets in the barracks......
"How did Zhang Zhong, the ruler of Guangnan East Road, and Jiang Kai, the ruler of Guangnan East and West Road, defeat?" Su Xun asked Yun Zheng with a cool breath in his mouth.
Yun Zheng licked his lips and said: "Think about the Wusheng Army you saw at first sight, you know how these two so-called famous generals were defeated, the Wusheng Army at that time was poorer than these people, less courageous than these people, and more hungry than these people, so it is not surprising that they were defeated, the elite of the Great Song Dynasty are all in the west and north, and the army here, hehe, has long been rotten."
Nong Zhigao is also a slightly bolder bandit, think about it, one hundred and thirty bandits in Qizhou pass through the state, crisscrossing two roads and six prefectures, and eleven counties are invincible, countless state and county officials, they would rather send money and food to the thieves, bribe those bastards to take a detour from their governing place, and as a result, they were killed by the furious Chong Shiheng with fifty-six horsemen, and they were killed in the kung fu of the meal, don't forget, the old seed went to Hedong to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and the armor was not ......"
Zhao Yingchun had already started to vomit, she was clapping her hands at the beginning, and after a while, she looked very unbearable, and then she began to vomit when she saw Peng Jiu with a string of intestines hanging around her neck.
Su Xun patted the little girl's back in the hope that she could vomit a little more happily, and asked Yun Zheng again: "Did you expect that their combat strength was very poor, so you moved those thoughts?" ”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The current situation is ten times better than I thought, there is a lot of money, people are stupid, and they are timid, this is the situation in the south, Nong Zhigao's personal guard must be relatively strong, that kind of hard bones are left to a famous general like Di Qing to show his majesty, Huang Shimi's money is more, and people are stupid to keep for us to enjoy."
Do you act cheaply, how can you do it without taking advantage of it, I think about it, the hot spring pass is our base. ”
Su Xun nodded and said: "The environment here is relatively good, ventilated, not too humid, the most important thing is that there are hot springs to soak, and the eczema of the sergeants can be cured faster." ”
Yun Zheng stretched his neck and looked outside the city, how could someone as steady as Xiaolin lead the cavalry to directly attack Huang Shimi's camp? Yun Zheng said that he was not worried, but he was still playing the drum in his heart, he had never seen such a weak army, what if it was really someone else's trap?
Yun Zheng rode out of the city, ready to take someone to pick up Xiaolin and Liang Ji, the two of them had already killed one after the other to the other side of the mountain.
Wu Shengjun has a good habit, that is, every battle does not leave prisoners, this is the habit left by fighting with robbers, only by killing all the robbers, the robbers' money can be regarded as Wu Shengjun's, other officials do not know how much money the robbers have, can not be robbed.
