Chapter 100 Take Hengyang lightly

The mountains and rivers are eternal, and the city is not for a while. -------Southern song dynasty. Wen Tianxiang "Nan'an Army"

It is said that the Lingling Qinglong Army is fierce, and the first group army is dispatched, wanting to take the opportunity of rescuing Huang Zhong to occupy Hengyang in one fell swoop.

The masterminds Zhou Budo and Xi Zhicai, as well as Huang Gai, commander of the First Group Army, and Pan Jun, the military advisor, were entrusted with important tasks this time, and at the same time reviewed the training results of the First Group Army for more than half a year. The soldiers were very fast, and after a day's preparation, the military and political system of Quanlingling began to operate rapidly, and a steady stream of baggage, grain, grass, weapons, and horses were continuously sent to the military ships from the independent naval dock, which really tested the emergency response ability of Jiang Wan and Chen Qun.

Jiang Wan, Pang Shanmin, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and others all stayed up all night, personally directing the transportation and loading and unloading at the grain and grass warehouse and the naval wharf. The docks were heavily guarded, the torches were shining like day, and everything was fast, but orderly. As soon as the baggage equipment was full, a whole 20 large ships entered the Xiangjiang River from the harbor of the navy, and under the escort of 2,000 sailors, they first entered the predetermined departure anchorage and anchored.

Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Long, under the guard of many high-ranking generals, came to the high platform of the naval harbor. The high platform is close to the Xiangjiang River, and there is a forest of sails in front of it, and the cavalry division of the First Group Army, which is in the vanguard, is already lined up on the shore, ready to board the ship.

On the high platform, a tall green dragon flag is displayed in the morning breeze, the morning mist is filled by the water, and the green dragon seems to loom in the clouds. Seeing that the hour had come, Long Chen ordered the drums to beat, and a row of tall and stout guards waved thick drumsticks and beat several huge drums displayed on the side of the stage. The sound of the drum is majestic, from slow to fast, like raindrops, the sky is resounding, with the soldiers will be brushed in unison, more than 10,000 sabers at the same time from the sheath sounded like a thunderbolt, the drum stopped, and the heaven and earth resumed a solemn killing.

Long Chen looked at the saber jungle held high in the air, his mood was agitated, and he took the gentian bright silver spear from Zhou Cang's hand behind him, and a red dragon appeared from the body of the spear, circling and surrounding, which was breathtaking. Long Chen raised the dragon spear high, and the red dragon was running endlessly above his head, shouting violently: "Sons, today's army is to throw your heads and blood for the people of the world, show your courage, and move forward!" Advance! ”

The sabers in the audience were waving excitedly, "Forward!" Advance! After the cavalry division called out from the mountain, the procession began to board the ship, and 10,000 people filled ten large ships, entered the Xiangjiang River, and sailed to Hengyang. The subsequent twenty baggage boats, which then slowly followed, began the first expedition of the Qinglong Army to unify the world.

The archers, swords and shields then boarded the ship, and saw Chen Long standing majestically on the high platform, all raising their portable weapons and shouting, and their morale reached its peak. As the 20,000 troops boarded the ships again and sailed into the Xiangjiang River, Chen Long saw that half of the ships in the naval base had been reduced, and there were few large ships left, so he called Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Jiang Wan, and Chen Qundao: "The previous military meeting did not involve the development of the naval army. Today, when troops were sent by water, I realized that there was a shortage of warships. The water system in the south is developed, and there are more and more cities to be attacked, transporting troops and food, and delivering news, without a strong naval army. This task will be handed over to the four of you to study and come up with a feasible plan within a month. The four generals all agreed to the promise, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei were even more happy.

Chen Long said to Yang Huai again: "The more famous naval generals in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou also pull me a list." ”

After the order was completed, he nodded to Zhao Yun and ordered: "Zilong, early the day after tomorrow, let your cavalry division of the Second Army Gaolan and Zhao Hong's spear division board the ship, go to Hengyang to take over the defense, and replace the First Army, so that they can continue to fight in Changsha." In the future, the defense of Lingling and Hengyang will be completed by your Second Army Corps, and the training will be strengthened on the spot. It's going to be hard for you to run on both sides. Later, the Third Army Corps was formed, and it was not too late to gather the troops. Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Chen Long saw that Zhao Yun was draped all over his body, with a silver robe and plain armor, and he couldn't help but like it, and quietly teased him: "Senior brother, I see that you have been a hundred times more energetic recently, but you have managed to get the senior sister?" ”

Zhao Yun saw that the lord who was still majestic just now, suddenly lost his shape again, and stammered: "Senior brother..... no, no, the lord, the lord, there is nothing to do." Senior sister just accompanies me to practice martial arts every day, how can I have time to fall in love. I am full of energy, and it is not because the lord's Qinglong army is strong and strong, and I feel that I am following the right person. ”

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy expression: "If the lord likes to fly, I, Zhao Yun, will never say anything." ”

Chen Long angrily gave Zhao Yun a big neck and said, "You are a nest...... Something that has no interest....... alas, I'm angry, Zhao Yun listens to the order! ”

This time the voice was not small, and the generals next to him cast their eyes one after another. Zhao Yun stood up and obeyed the order. Chen Long lowered his voice and said: "I order you to start immediately, confess your heart to Tong Feifei, and start the pursuit, there must be no mistake!" ”

Zhao Yunjun's face turned red, and he said, "Obey the order!" Chen Long kicked Zhao Yun to the side, and then called Gan Ning with a nod.

Gan Ning was dressed in black armor, with a black robe, plus a black face and a black hair, purely a black man. Chen Long instructed: "In the afternoon today, I will order Hu Ji and Zu Lang to take their respective teams to gather here with you, and temporarily serve as my personal guards with Zhou Cang." Converge with Liu Yong's spear division, go to Hengyang by boat together, and wait for Huang Gai to conquer the city, and immediately enter the city to help with bullet pressure, just to practice with the battle belt. In addition, the target of our special forces is Changsha Sudai, do you understand? ”

Gan Ning blinked and blackened, as if he didn't quite understand. Suddenly, he suddenly realized: "Lord, are you saying that our special forces are the main force to kill Su Dai?" I couldn't help but rub my hands together and get excited.

Chen Long said: "Exactly. As the saying goes, a bird can't fly without a head, and a snake can't fly without a head. Our troops are precious, who is willing to consume with thieves like this, if the assassination can be successful, it can be said that the result is twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, Su Dai should be stationed in the suburbs of Changsha County, besieging Liu Pan and Han Xuan, and now there is no city wall to protect him, so it is not difficult to kill him. If the assassination fails, it's not too late to attack. Gan Ning muttered that the bird has no head and does not fly, and the snake has no head, and he went back to the special forces to arrange.

Chen Long finished arranging everything, the time was almost noon, and the generals scattered to perform their duties, Chen Long only took Guo Jia and went back to the house for dinner together, and Zhou Cang naturally followed behind him. Chen Long said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, in this battle, you are responsible for guarding Lingling with General Zhao Yun, with you two here, I can sit back and relax." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord." In Wuling, north of Lingling, there is no sign of sending troops, indicating that Liu Biao has not moved. This battle is estimated to be over in half a month, but I regret that I can't follow the lord. ”

Chen Long said with a smile: "Such a small battle, why should you be filial piety." But there is one thing you have to think of for me, Liu Ba Liu Zichu, I have never known how to recruit him. Now that my policy agenda has been clearly laid out in front of you, I wonder if Zichu's mind has been loosened? ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "I will do this matter myself, don't worry." ”

Chen Long took Guo Jia and had a simple lunch in Huangfu, and after the meal, the women came out to say goodbye, all of them were careful. Chen Long said goodbye one by one, and finally said to Zhang Ning: "Everyone of the Lingling clan is probably inextricably linked with the officials of Luoyang, some are normal, some are abnormal, and they still need to be screened by the spy force of their beloved wife." ”

After saying goodbye, Guo Jia followed Long Chen, stealthily into a carriage, and just turned the corner, he suddenly heard a coquettish reprimand in front of him: "Senior Brother Long!" ”

Chen Longxin was not good, so he had to get out of the carriage, and saw a peach suit in front of the carriage, with bright red and phoenix eyes, and a beautiful woman sitting on a horse, who was Tong Feifei but who was it?

Just called Senior Sister, Tong Feifei jumped off the horse, flew in front of Long Chen, and said with disgust: "Senior Brother Long, you said that you didn't come back to see Master, my father blames you!" ”

Chen Long hurriedly said: "It's not that you're busy on all fours. It just so happens that I'm a little empty right now, so I'm going to see Master. Please lead the way. As he spoke, he turned around and pulled a horse, and Tong Feifei froze along, waving to follow.

Tong Feifei stretched out his hand to stop and said, "My father likes to be quiet the most, but don't be such a big team." Chen Long asked Zhou Cang to lead the guards to the dock and wait.

Tong Feifei put the horse very slowly, and Chen Long followed the same step on the side, where did he dare to open his mouth to provoke his senior sister to speak. After walking in silence for a while, Tong Feifei's personality was lively and happy, and he couldn't help but break the silence and said, "Are we two dumb?" You just don't have anything to say to me. ”

Chen Long said cautiously: "Senior sister, it seems that you have found the wrong person to talk to, right?" Zilong must have endless words with his eldest sister. ”

Tong Feifei smiled and said, "Although Senior Brother Long is well-behaved, he is not as fun as you. "It's back to a bit of its old spicy style. Immediately, his expression darkened, as if he had touched his heart.

Chen Long observed his words and looks, as the saying goes, it is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties, and it is easy for him to accept Tong Feifei, but it will undoubtedly destroy the relationship with Zhao Yun. But just refuse, I'm afraid that Tong Feifei won't be able to accept it, so I'm in a hurry, Tong Feifei can do anything.

The two fell into an embarrassing silence again, and after a long time, Tong Feifei said: "Senior Brother Long, the sword and arrow have no eyes, be careful. ”

Greeting and saying goodbye from Tong Yuan, Chen Long put down all his worries, beat his horse and went straight to the dock, met with Gan Ning, Liu Yong and others, and boarded the ship and set off.

Fu Tong's cavalry division disembarked at the predetermined location, and the subsequent warships put down their military horses, and more warships carrying infantry hurried by, heading east of Hengyang. Huang Gai ordered the horse to pick up the bell, and 10,000 cavalry galloped to the edge of the south city ten miles in the dark night to stand by, of which 2,000 troops harassing the west city gate quietly went around to the west of Hengyang, just waiting for the south city gate to kill everywhere, and then feigned the west city.

As the sky became clearer, Huang Gai divided the troops into two groups, and Fu Tong led the first group of 2,000 people to slowly advance to the flat land five miles away from the city, where the horses sprinted, and the city gate could be reached in a moment, and the defenders had no time to pull up the drawbridge.

A scout horse came back, made a gesture that the city gate was open, Fu Tong drew his saber, pointed forward, and two thousand horses started at the same time, reaching high speed in a moment, and suddenly arrived at the city gate. There were only a few hundred guards on the city wall, and when they saw a large number of horse troops suddenly appear on the horizon, there was chaos in an instant, some pulled the drawbridge, some related to the city gate, some released cold arrows, some played trumpets, and there was no organization in the chaos, and it was obvious that there was no general to defend it. Fu Tong took the lead, saw that the drawbridge had been slightly warped, and immediately went up to the drawbridge, cut the rope with a knife, split a few cold arrows, and rushed into the half-closed city gate. The cavalry behind rushed in, slashing with sabers, and the soldiers guarding the gate instantly settled the account and opened the passage of the city gate. Fu Tong turned over and dismounted, led the cavalry, and went straight to the head of the city, and in a scuffle, he annihilated dozens of defenders, and the rest surrendered. Fu Tong looked at the top of the city and saw that the follow-up 6,000 cavalry led by Huang Gai on the horizon had already flooded in and quickly approached the south city gate.

The defenders in the city heard the horn and knew that there was a situation at the south city gate, so Gu Jian also made a quick decision, and led the three thousand military horses that had just been assembled to go straight to the south city, and suddenly the horn of the west city gate rose again, Gu Jian was shocked, and hurriedly divided a thousand soldiers and horses to the west city, and the remaining two thousand troops hurried to the south city, and suddenly the horn of the east city gate rose again, this time it was embattled, and Gu Jian had to divide another thousand troops and horses to the east city to defend.

Gu Jian personally led the remaining 1,000 military horses, only to the south of the city, but he didn't expect to meet Huang Gai's 6,000 cavalry into the city, poor Gu Jian didn't understand the taste, he was rushed away by a horse and fainted on the side of the road. A thousand military horses were scattered in one fell swoop, and wherever there was still half a point of resistance, they all threw their weapons and surrendered.

The 6,000 cavalry did not surrender, and went straight to Dongcheng along the main road in the city to meet the troops of Liu Min and Liu Xian. Fu Tong ordered 1,000 cavalry to guard the south city gate, and led 1,000 cavalry to accept the surrender. Pulled a subordinate pawn to interrogate, where is Gu Jian, but he didn't expect the subordinate to point to a sleeping person on the side of the road, Fu Tong stroked his palm and laughed: "Commander Huang, this great achievement can be cheaper for me." "After that, people tied up Gu Jian and overwhelmed the guards at the south gate.

Huang Gai's 6,000 cavalry, like a tide, smashed straight in from behind the butt of the 1,000 troops who rushed to the East City Gate, and the poor 1,000 troops also collapsed instantly, and not a single soldier could reach the East City Gate. Huang Gai killed under the city gate, regardless of the rain of arrows on the city wall, divided his troops along the stairs to attack the city tower, and with hundreds of people, rushed to the city gate, instantly cut off the latch, and cut the traction rope of the drawbridge, the drawbridge fell with a bang, and the infantry saw the opportunity, surging like a tide. Seeing that the general situation had been decided, Huang Gai returned to the horse and entered the city again, and roared: "Cavalry boys, follow me!" The cavalry withdrew from the city, and the infantry who entered the city climbed the stairs like ants to the tower and continued to destroy the enemy at the head of the city.

Huang Gai's 6,000 cavalry turned the city upside down, and the happiest thing was the 1,000 Fu Tong cavalry who followed behind, and I don't know how many trophies they picked up along the way, and how many troops they collected. Huang Gai led the army to kill the defenders of Xicheng again, and the defenders of Beicheng saw that the general trend had gone, and waved the white flag to surrender.

The battle lasted less than an hour, and the city of Hengyang had fallen, and the five thousand soldiers and horses defending the city were wiped out. By the time Chen Long arrived, Huang Gai had already completed the army, posted a notice to the people, and the whole city was under martial law. More than 4,000 troops were surrendered, not even a single one ran out of the city, and the captured grain and grass had not yet had time to be counted. Seeing that the Qinglong Army was extraordinary, Chen Long smiled and nodded, and ordered Gu Jian to be brought to the hall. Before Gu Jian could understand who raided Hengyang, he was stunned by Fu Tong and escorted to the lobby, looked at Chen Long and said, "Who is the honorable driver?" ”
