Chapter 16: Fear of Death and Fear of War
(I have received the short station, you can rest assured to invest.) )
It's not that Qin Yu deliberately wants to sing down the Eight Kings, it's not that he is worried about the sky, greedy for life and afraid of death.
It's about the weight of these guys, he knows too well.
For more than a month, although the total number of soldiers and horses in each battalion has reached 30,000, more than 10,000 people even have real guys.
However, except for him training, the rest of the battalions were drunk and dreaming of death, or these guys didn't know how to train at all.
In this way, I still want to fight with Zuo Liangyu in the field, but they are also from a military attache family, and no matter how unbearable the soldiers and horses under them are, they are not comparable to their rabble.
People are expensive in their own knowledge, but the eight kings don't even have this bit of force in their hearts, thinking that they have broken through the valley city, and when they see that their soldiers are strong and strong, they will swell.
Completely forgot that he was almost hacked to death in Nanyang last time, and I heard that even one of his favorite concubines was captured.
So this time I don't make a big mistake, he Qin Yu writes backwards!
Qin Yu didn't know that the Eight Kings not only did not forget the incident of Nanyang last time, but they were haunted by it, otherwise they would not have resolutely crossed the river to find the field.
The next day, early in the morning, each battalion began to cross the river with its own soldiers and horses, and Qin Yu also took eighty teenagers and dragged the cannons onto the boat.
This time, in addition to the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Li Dingguo's headquarters, as long as they could use weapons, regardless of men, women, and children, they had to cross the river to participate in the battle, and the rest of the people were also driven into the city to assist Li Dingguo in defending the city.
It took more than 30,000 young and strong people, plus more than 10,000 old and weak women and children, to cross the Han River for more than 40,000 people.
Qin Yu was completely speechless.
There are so many people in total, there are dozens of broken boats, and once they lose the battle, Zuo Liangyu will not give them two days to cross the river and escape, and it will definitely end up with corpses all over the field.
More than once, he gave birth and suggested to the Eight Kings that those old and weak women and children should be left on the south bank, but in the end he gave up.
Because the eight kings of nearly 1,000 thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys were temporarily allocated to him to lead.
"King, there are too few boats, why don't you go and cut some bamboo nearby and put it on the shore, just in case you need it!"
"What do you mean, boy?"
"Father-in-law, the war is coming, this kid dares to say such things that disturb the morale of the army..."
"King, the kid is not disturbing the morale of the army, as the so-called does not think about victory, first thinks about defeat, and there is no harm in taking precautions!"
Qin Yu was also furious when he saw that Sun Kewang was going online at every turn, and quickly interrupted him to explain.
"Well, Xiao Yu is still thoughtful, this matter will be left to you, and there are not enough people to provoke from those young people."
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the dozens of boats on the shore, and then at the tent behind him where there was no end in sight, and finally agreed to Qin Yu's suggestion.
"Yes!"
Qin Yu hurriedly hugged his fists and went with people to work.
The Han River near Gucheng is only two or three hundred meters wide, and those who don't have time to get on the boat can float on the river with a bamboo and swim over it easily to save their lives.
So the people almost cut down all the bamboos nearby, and then divided the larger ones into several sections, and threw them on the bank of the river more than ten miles wide, and they were busy until dark.
At the same time, with small bamboo, each teenager was made with a bamboo gun, and the wooden stick in his hand could be thrown away.
……
Gucheng originally belonged to the edge of the Nanyang Basin, and after crossing the Han River, the four fields were empty, except for some woods and small hills, all of them were paddy fields.
Zuo Liangyu wants to harvest the wheat in the field, but the eight kings don't let him, what should he do?
The two sides had no other way than a front gong and a dignified drum on the opposite side.
Therefore, on the third day, after breakfast, I learned that Zuo Liangyu's army had set up camp twenty miles away last night, and tens of thousands of troops were going north to kill.
There was no formation, and there was no front army or rear army, so each battalion walked in front with its own soldiers and horses, and the old and weak women and children followed.
It's overwhelming, and it's all over the mountains.
At the same time, Zuo Liangyu's camp.
"Father, the eight kings are coming with a large army to kill us, and the number is estimated to be no less than tens of thousands."
"Humph! A group of rabble, no matter how much Lao Tzu didn't pay attention to! ”
"Originally, Lao Tzu only planned to collect some grain this time, make a show, and perfunctory the surname Xiong.
But his eight kings actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, did not nest in the valley city to enjoy happiness, and dared to cross the river to fight with me in the field, Lao Tzu wanted to see if he had such good luck as last time this time. ”
Zuo Liangyu smashed the case, obviously not taking the eight kings in his eyes, and at the same time he was extremely angry that he dared to cross the river and grab wheat by himself.
"Father, the eight kings obviously want to avenge Nanyang's revenge last time, and the child is willing to take the lead this time and will behead the eight kings under the horse."
"Marshal, the last general is also willing to take the lead!"
Zuo Liangyu's son and a group of generals were all vying to be the first to fight.
However, although he has fought with the Eight Kings several times, no one knows what the real names of the Eight Kings are, and even the rebels from all walks of life only know that the surname of the Eight Kings is Zhang, and like Qin Yu, there are almost no people in the Righteous Army who are stupid enough to report their real names.
"Okay, don't fight, pass the order, and the whole army will go out of the camp to meet it!" Zuo Liangyu stood up and waved his hand.
……
"King, we have already walked ten miles, it is better to wait here and let Zuo Liangyu come to fight us, so that we can take the opportunity to sort out the formation."
"Fart, we have an army of 40,000 or 50,000, and they only have 10,000, waiting for them to beat us? What's the momentum? ”
Sun Kewang shouted violently, seeing that Qin Yu was pointing fingers at every turn, he was also extremely anxious in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that when he arrived on the battlefield, he must take the opportunity to kill him.
"King, this hot day, if you go on, I am afraid that before the battle, the brothers will be tired, although the momentum is important, but the physical strength cannot be ignored!
What's more, the two sides were going to go half of each side in the field, so how could there be light for us to go, and they would sit and wait in the big camp? Isn't that a loss? ”
Qin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignored Sun Kewang's mongrel, and persuaded Zhang Xianzhong bitterly.
"What if the left thief doesn't come? Could it be that we have to go back? Zhang Xianzhong also wiped his sweat and asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, the king, if the left thief doesn't come, let's set fire to the wheat, I don't believe he won't come, and the king, you see... There's a small hill over there, if I put a cannon on it, maybe when the two armies face each other, I can kill Zuo Liangyu's dog thief with one shot..."
Qin Yu said, pointing to a small mountain bag road two miles away on the left.
Killing Zuo Liangyu with one shot is naturally a fart, but in fact, he really doesn't want to mix with these guys, lest he be trampled to death when he escapes, or be hacked from behind.
"Boy, you don't talk big about it, just that broken cannonball, if you can hit the cannonball in the crowd of the other party, you will burn high incense, and you still want to kill Zuo Liangyu?"
"You know what? Then Zuo Liangyu's handsome flag is the best target, how do you know if I can't hit it if you don't try it? What if he really killed Zuo Liangyu's dog thief? ”
"Haha, okay, when the drum sounds, you will aim for Lao Tzu to hit, if you can really beat Zuo Liangyu's dog thief to death, you will be credited!"
The Eight Kings looked at the small mountain bag, although they knew that it was unrealistic to kill Zuo Liangyu with one shot, they inevitably repaid a glimmer of hope in their hearts, so they laughed.
"Yes, King!"
Qin Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the firearms battalion and the more than 1,000 teenagers and ran to the mountain bag.
Looking at Qin Yu's back, Sun Kewang's face was as black as charcoal, and he secretly scolded this kid for being cunning, obviously he didn't want to charge into battle, he was afraid of death and war, but he couldn't find a good excuse.
As soon as the father-in-law heard that there was a chance to kill Zuo Liangyu, he had to try it no matter what.
