Chapter 1396: The Han Banner World (86) Battles Begin
Cui Chengxiu took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.
Pengcheng, I'm back! He silently thought in his heart, a few years ago, the Han Kingdom suffered an unprecedented defeat in Pengcheng, tens of thousands of soldiers of the New First Army were surrounded, and in the end, it was the Han Kingdom that spit out the thousands of miles of territory of the Chu State that had been defeated before in exchange for the soldiers of the new First Army who were surrounded. This battle has become the biggest stain on the undefeated Han army, the commander of the new First Army, Zhang Hongyu, a senior general of the Han Kingdom, was ashamed and indignant, and after arranging all the retreat matters, he killed himself.
Although the 18th Army retained most of the original New First Army, it was a great shame for Cui Chengxiu and other generals of the original New First Army.
Shameful and courageous, the 18th Army up and down, all held their breath, in the past few years, all the time thinking about counterattacking the whole city, where to fall, where to get up. This time the Han Dynasty attacked Chu State, the commander of the Second Front Army, Meng Chong, originally considered that the Eighteenth Army had suffered a big defeat in Pengcheng, worried that they would have a psychological shadow, and was ready to hand over this task to the Sixteenth Army under the command of Hengdao, Cui Chengxiu knew the news, and led the generals above the regiment to run outside Meng Chong's headquarters, without saying a word, a group of men were naked, and knelt outside the headquarters for a whole day, and finally the deputy commander Bai Yucheng couldn't stand it, and the leaders of the other troops gathered to intercede, And Hengdao was embarrassed to compete with Cui Chengxiu for this vanguard position again, Meng Chong spoke, if they failed again, they didn't have to come back, they tied themselves collectively with a rope, and reported to the military court by themselves.
To seize the military stronghold of Pengcheng at the lowest cost, the Han State took advantage of the opportunity of the infantry under his command to marry the princess Shuyu of the Chu State, and led a greeting team disguised by the special brigade to Pengcheng led by the infantry, plus the spies of the National Security Bureau who had infiltrated Pengcheng through various channels earlier. The spies of the Military Intelligence Department, inside Pengcheng, the infantry can gather nearly a thousand troops at the time of the incident, these people are good at creating riots, assassinations, and proficient in special operations, and their task is to create chaos in the city and assassinate high-ranking officials in Pengcheng when the battle is launched. generals, etc., caused chaos in the city, the army lost its command, attacked inside and outside, and broke the city in one fell swoop.
And for such a plan, the timing is extremely important. Cui Chengxiu's Eighteenth Army pinched the right time, and marched rapidly for a day and a night, during which it only rested for less than two hours, and a large number of sentinels rushed forward. The scouts who arranged Pengcheng in a radius of dozens of miles were swept away, and when Pengcheng was still preparing for a happy event, the eighteenth army led by Cui Chengxiu had already appeared outside Pengcheng.
"Wash away the shame. Even now, indomitable, there is no enemy and no self! On top of the war horse, Cui Chengxiu's voice was hoarse. For this day and night, he didn't rest at all, and his eyes were red at the moment. Live like a blood-eating wolf.
"Death squads, break the gates!"
In the city, Princess Shuyu watched the tall figure of the infantry disappear at the gate of the post house, her legs were weak, and she sat on the ground weakly, tears falling from her eyes, "Why? Why is that? ”
The palace maid who rushed over after hearing the news helped Shuyu up in a panic, "Princess, what should we do?" ”
More than ten Han soldiers appeared in front of Shuyu, and the first one bowed down and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I will be ordered by General Bu to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess's safety, please stay in the house, the battle will end soon." ”
The infantry strode out of the post house, a soldier next to him handed him his accustomed strong bow and a bag of feather arrows, the grounding strong bow in his hand, the quiver hung around his waist, the infantry looked at the gathered five hundred special combat members and the men in black who were trotting in from outside the door, these men in black did not say a word, and merged into a group of soldiers, these people were the spies of the National Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Department who had infiltrated Pengcheng in advance, and they would lead the way to carry out the attack in the city.
With a series of orders from the infantry, the teams of special operations soldiers disappeared into the streets in an instant, and only the last group of soldiers remained, and the infantry glanced back at the post house, where the silhouette of a man was reflected in the window paper, which was shaking at the moment, and two figures next to her supported her.
With an inexplicable pain in his heart, the infantry let out a long breath, "Let's go, let's go and meet Liu'an." ”
When the alarm bell rang on the city wall, a banquet was being held in the Pengcheng garrison general's mansion in Liu'an, and there were generals and civil officials in Pengcheng who attended this banquet to welcome the doctor Fan Zhuo.
Fan Zhuo, a hot and powerful figure in the Chu State, controls the silk weaving of the Chu State on one side, and on the other side is the back of the Great Chu Shoufu Huang Xie, which can be described as a powerful faction that stomps on the Great Chu and is about to shake three times, such a character, in normal times, a Pengcheng garrison general, is not easy to see, such a good opportunity, naturally can not be let go, Liu An held a banquet, but also wanted to befriend this Fan Dafu, seeing that today's Great Chu has become stronger day by day, and now the 200,000 army is sweeping through the southern part of the Qin State, The future and the Han State to dominate the world has been clearly visible, Liu An of course wants to go to the next level, only stand higher, in order to see farther, in order to better show their talents, as a local powerful landlord son, Liu An knows that only the right, in order to live a nourishing life, only to have the right, in order to shade the descendants.
And to have power, in addition to the necessary talents, good connections are naturally indispensable, Liu An has absolute confidence in his talents, but if there is no noble person to help him, how can he climb up step by step? In the past, under Bi Xuan, Bi Xuan valued talent, and he showed that side to him, but at that time, under Bi Xuan, there were many people who were not worse than him, but after the war ended, it was himself who became the guard of Pengcheng, and he was promoted by leapfrogging, in addition to talent, it was naturally something else.
Now that Fan Zhuo appeared in front of him, this is an opportunity to hug his thighs, how can he miss it?
The gold, silver and jewelry that has been sent to Fan Zhuo's room, the delicate and lovely beauties, as well as the delicacies of the mountains and seas on this table and the flattery of everyone, all made the doctor Fan Zhuoxi smile, this Pengcheng guard is a lovely person, I originally thought that the people promoted by Bi Xuan were all like Bi Xuan, they were the kind of old-fashioned generals, I don't want this to be empathetic, and they can indeed be promoted heavily. Such a talent, being a Pengcheng guard is really condescending. Or you can get him to the Yingdu Praetorian Guard next, since Bi Xuan became the commander of the Yingdu Praetorian Guard, and he has carried out rectification, almost all the people he used to plug have been driven out, and this Liu An in front of him has to be talented, he has to be thoughtful, and he is Bi Xuan's old department, so he thinks of a way to stuff him in, and Bi Xuan will not object, so that he will have someone who can be used in the Praetorian Guard.
Thinking about this, Fan Zhuo was even happier, and he raised his glass frequently, and after three rounds of drinking, he was already quite drunk. And Liu An, who also heard the meaning from Fan Zhuo's words, was almost ecstatic, going to work in that prosperous place in Yingdu, how could it be compared to such a poor place as Pengcheng, and becoming a general of the Praetorian Guard, dangling in front of the king, Shoufu, and Taiwei every day, the chances of going to the next level were greatly increased. At the moment, he raised his glass again and again to flatter, and the flattery almost drowned Fan Zhuo.
Just when the sound of drunkenness filled the audience, several violent explosions suddenly came, and the entire hall seemed to shake a few times.
Fan Zhuo, who had already drunk a lot, didn't know why, so he smiled with a big tongue: "It's still far from the New Year, why are you setting off fireworks?" ”
Fan Zhuo didn't understand, but the generals in the hall could hear that this was fireworks, and it was obviously the sound of a grenade exploding, and listening to this sound, it was not a grenade owned by their own army. All the generals stood up at once, and at this moment, on the city wall, the warning bell rang continuously.
With a bang, the flush on Liu An's face faded cleanly, and was replaced by a pale, "Enemy attack." He shouted, "Come on, protect Dr. Fan's safety, and the rest of the people, follow me." ”
Liu An is worthy of being a general promoted by Bi Xuan, although the mind of climbing up is very strong, and he is very deep in the city, but his talent is undeniable, within a short distance from the hall to the gate of the general's mansion, all the tasks have been assigned, and one by one the generals quickly responded to the order, went out of the mansion and got on the war horse, and went to the place where they should be, and when they walked out of the mansion gate, Liu An's guards had also been concentrated.
"Go to the walls!" Liu An ordered loudly, turned over his horse, and galloped towards the city wall with more than 100 personal soldiers.
Just walked to the street, head-on, a group of black-clothed people had appeared in front of Liu An's eyes, the black-clothed people on the opposite side didn't say a word, their hands raised, and one by one black things flew out, looking at the starry firelight burning behind the tails of those black things, Liu An was shocked, it was the lead of the grenade burning.
"Grenade!" He screamed, and the whole man jumped up from his horse, and swooped down on the houses on the side of the street, and with a bang, he smashed the window, and fell into the house, and rolled several times in a row, and before the people could get up, outside the street, there was a continuous sound of explosions.
The screams were endless, followed by the shouts of killing, Liu An got up and kicked open the door, on the street, his own soldiers were killed and wounded, and the remnants were swinging knives and fighting with the men in black who rushed over.
Liu An looked up, and through the light of the raging fire, he saw that behind the group of black-clothed people, a tall general was riding his horse and standing, wasn't this the infantry that he personally welcomed into the city yesterday, Princess Shuyu's future husband-in-law?
"The Han people are shameless!" Liuan shouted, slashing at the infantry. At the same time, the strong bow in the infantryman's hand was pulled away, and above the bowstring, the arrows of the three feathered arrows flashed with a terrible cold light. (To be continued.) )
