Chapter Ninety-Three: Night Battle
Ancient village.
"It's been more than an hour, and I haven't seen the slightest movement from Wu Jun."
"Jiang Qin, how should I choose?"
At this time, the Guanping people stood on the wall, looking at the warships of the Wu army on the river, thinking a lot, and muttering.
After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Deng Ai from the side, and said slowly: "Shizai, when you led the army to loot last night, can you find out the situation clearly, which big clan belongs to the broken manor?" ”
Hearing this, Deng Ai already knew it in his heart, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Young General, Ai has already found out." ”
"Our army looted more than 23 villages last night and broke through three manors, from which I learned that these three manors are the properties of Wuzhongzhang, Lu, and Gu."
"After robbing these three families, if I remember it well, these families all have talents to serve Sun Quan."
"Then it seems that Jiang Qin should not let it go."
After pondering for a long time, Guan Ping muttered to himself, his thoughts still drifting into the distance.
He knew that there were many big families in Jiangdong, and even Sun Quan could only compromise part of his rights and interests in exchange for the appearance or support of the big family.
Sun Quan is still like this, does Jiang Qin dare to ignore the interests of the big clan and be indifferent?
Time flies.
Only at this moment, on a fighting ship, more than a dozen Wu army sergeants suddenly disembarked and went ashore, dragging a bloody corpse forward.
Arriving outside the range of the ancient village, he put down the corpse, and one of the small officers who looked like the commander of the Wu army couldn't help but say loudly: "Wait and listen, I will return the corpses of you and other soldiers on the orders of my general." ”
"He said, if you want to fight, you will fight, why send this arrogant man here."
When the words fell, the chief quickly led more than a dozen sergeants back quickly, fearing that the Jingzhou army would be angry, and suddenly rushed out to surround and kill them.
In this scene, on the wall, all the people in Jingzhou who were defending were furious, and their anger spread all over their bodies.
They didn't expect that Wu Gou was so shameless that he even killed the messenger!
It's hateful!
"Major General, the Wu army is too deceitful and kills our army's sons and daughters, please allow the last general to lead the army into battle and annihilate this group of brutes."
For a while, the generals were also furious, and Zhao Zhong, the governor of the thousand people, was even more full of incomparable anger, asking for a fight.
This sergeant was originally a Dubo valued by his subordinates, and with his ability, it was not a problem to be promoted to a general, but now, instead of dying on the battlefield of fighting for his life, he acted as a military envoy and was killed for no reason!
The so-called "two armies are at war, and they don't come to make it." ”
This is a rule that has been set since the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Major General, what Zhao Dudu said is good, Wu Gou is so contemptuous of the rules and despises us, our army should attack as a whole army, and annihilate them in one fell swoop, let them know what the rules are."
At this moment, Sun Wolf also stood up and shouted for battle, and then the generals did the same.
Hearing this, Guan Ping waved his hand and said lightly: "You wait for a few people to go out of the village to take back the corpses of the soldiers and soldiers, and wait until they return to Jingzhou for burial." ”
"This is a hero of our army, don't slack off!"
The order was passed down, and several guards from the side received the order and immediately ran out of the village.
"Major General."
"Major General."
It's just that Guan Ping ignored the generals' calls for battle, walked straight to the gate of the wall, and then began to order the assembly of the whole army.
In the middle of the gong, several guards carried back a bloody headless corpse, and when they arrived at the gate of the village, Guan Ping waved his hand and put it down.
Immediately, Guan Ping looked at the soldiers of the whole army, showed a look of grief and indignation, gently walked to the corpse, bowed respectfully, and muttered: "Go all the way!" ”
Seeing Guan Ping respectfully mourning, at this moment, the eyes of thousands of soldiers couldn't help but moisten.
This is their major general, for the sake of an unknown soldier who has died, but he can personally mourn, this state of mind is incomparable to many generals.
Let's ask, during that period, the main general personally mourned a soldier, who could do it?
"Major General, I'm willing to fight."
"Swear to kill Wu Dog."
In a moment's time, the army suddenly boiled, and thousands of soldiers turned their sadness into anger and shouted angrily.
The sound of angry shouts and compassion resounded through the ancient village at this moment, and the high momentum was unprecedented, and there was a faint sound on the surface of the Fangyuan River.
On the river, on the boat, Jiang Qin stood tall, listening to the sorrowful and angry shouts of the Jingzhou soldiers one after another, and his face became more and more solemn.
"This battle is not easy to fight!"
Half-loud, Jiang Qin couldn't help muttering.
Originally, he decided to kill the military envoy in order to deter the entire army in Jingzhou and hit its morale, so that after his own side was stationed ashore, he could have a slight advantage in the war.
After all, he is 100% sure of water warfare, and land warfare is really bottomless.
Therefore, Jiang Qin made this decision, but he didn't expect it, but it was self-defeating, the cohesion of the Jingzhou army was so strong, not only was the military spirit not hit, but the group was angry, full of anger.
"Guan Ping, Guan Ping, why are you so difficult?"
At this time, although Jiang Qin and Guan Ping had only fought for two days, he was deflated again and again, and he did not get the slightest bargain, but was forced to go ashore and engage in land warfare.
At this moment, he emerged of Guan Ping's general methods, and he became more and more jealous, and at the same time a trace of faith rose in his heart, and said secretly: "You must kill Guan Ping this time, otherwise if you let it grow, it will be a big disaster for me!" ”
Ancient village.
"The whole army rested temporarily, waiting for the Wu army to come ashore and forcibly kill."
At this time, Guan Ping showed grief and indignation, waved his hand to stop the angry shouting of the crowd, and spoke hoarsely.
Then, he said slowly: "The generals are in the tent and the military discussion." ”
When the words fell, Guan Ping led the guards to leave first, and did not say much.
At this moment, the anger of the Jingzhou soldiers has been completely stimulated, and at this moment they just need a complete battle to vent, and no matter how many words they say at this time, it is useless.
Before leaving, Guan Ping expressed his resolute desire to fight, and thousands of soldiers hid their anger in their hearts, disbanded and rested.
Master Ledger.
Guan Ping sat back on the main seat, and as the generals stood in turn, his face relaxed slightly, and there was no previous grief and indignation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as expected, by the evening of this evening at the latest, Jiang Qin will definitely lead his troops ashore and station, so as to send rangers to patrol and stop our army from plundering the surrounding area tonight."
At this moment, Guan Ping looked confident and his words were convincing.
He had already inferred from Jiang Qin's killing of the military envoy that this was to deter his own side, and the so-called cause must have effect, why should he deter the Jingzhou army?
The only explanation is that Jiang Qin decided to go ashore for a land battle.
When the words fell, Governor Zhao Zhong's face was still angry, and he said loudly: "Young General, the last general thinks that after Wu Gou comes ashore, when his foothold is not stable, he will launch a surprise attack in an instant. ”
"With the strength of our army, and the sudden attack on the Wu army that is not fully prepared, we will definitely be able to win in one battle!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals unanimously seconded the proposal.
"I'm afraid that if the Wu army is not firmly footed and attack, this will not work!"
"You must know that now this ancient village was built by Zhou Lang to resist Cao thieves, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the camp stretches for dozens of miles, and our army is only a few thousand troops, but it only occupies the core of the ancient village."
"The other camps are still empty, according to Ai's expectations, the Wu army will definitely choose these stockades to garrison and confront our army when they go ashore."
"So, now it seems that we can only force a fight."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals couldn't help but feel a little depressed when they heard them.
After the words fell, Guan Ping looked around, muttered, and then immediately got up and said in a loud voice: "You don't have to be so depressed. ”
"What about the strong attack, with our army's infantry combat ability, a strong attack on the shore can still break the Wu thief."
"Our army will win!"
After a pause, he continued: "Next, I will wait for the opportunity, wait for the Wu army to come ashore, and then our army will launch a night attack. ”
"Destroy the Wu thief with the power of a battle, and make the Jiangdong rats frightened!"
"Victory, victory."
When the words fell, the generals were also encouraged, and they roared loudly, and the tent boiled instantly.
