Volume 2 Chapter 48 Night Attack (I)
Wang Jing's sudden life and death really made Peng Tuo very nerve-wracking.
Wang Jingqi, although he is just a missionary veteran with a little seniority in the Yingchuan Taiping Dao team, is not the same as the identity and status of Peng Tuo, the commander of Runan Qu, but he is the special envoy of Yingchuan who was ordered by Bocai and came here to contact Peng Tuo, but now he has not met the Han army, but he is dying in front of his own brothers, as far as Peng Tuo is concerned, whether it is to Bocai, or to Zhang Jiao, the great sage and teacher of Jizhou, it is difficult to explain.
It was precisely because of Wang Jing's generous death that Peng Tuo began to carefully recall the various incidents he had said before his death.
"Bocai has obtained nearly 20,000 Taiping Dao people in the two cities of Nanton and Cai County, and has obtained all the grain, grass and ordnance therein, how can he be so embarrassed as the Wang Dao people say?" After dealing with all the emergencies, only Peng Tuo and Yu Qian were left in the Chinese military tent, Peng Tuo seemed to be talking to himself, and looked at Yu Qian, who had replaced the silk crown on his forehead with an apricot yellow scarf, and smiled: "Yu Xiancheng is not a hundred times more spiritual than the silk crown?" I knew that there was such a variable, and when I first met Yu County Cheng in Cai County that day, I should have asked you to go to the silk crown and wear this yellow turban. ”
Yu Qian, however, was noncommittal to Yu Pengtuo, but said solemnly: "I waited all the way to come, and the Han army I saw was only Sun Jian and Cheng Pu in the suburbs of Nanton, right?" ”
"Not bad." When Peng Tuo heard this, he no longer made fun of it, and replied solemnly: "In addition to these two parts, there is only Sima surnamed Liu on the slope." ”
"I haven't seen the Han army again." Yu Qian muttered to himself, his brows were furrowed, and then he said: "I heard that Huangfu Gong and Zhu Gong led tens of thousands of Han troops, and countless heavy grain and grass were recruited against Marshal Bo, according to this situation, excluding the three thousand soldiers of Sun, Cheng, and Liu, the tens of thousands of troops at the two Zhonglang generals have not actually decreased much. ”
"Bocai gathered the Taiping Daoists in the two cities of Nanton and Caixian, if it is calculated by the troops, it should be no less than the Han army, not to mention that Yingyang and Yingchuan are both strong cities, so that the Han army will be easily destroyed in these few days, so I think that Wang Jingzhi's words are really exaggerated?"
Yu Qian was speechless for a while, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Even if the words of the royal Daoist may be biased, the situation in Yingyang is not as severe as he said, so why did he die here and persuade Qu Shuai to use troops?" ”
Peng Tuo glanced at Yu Qian, finally shook his head again and again, sighed, and then came to the head of the tent with his hands behind his back, and sat down with his body, before he chuckled and said: "This Wang Jing was martyred just because I thought that you Yu County Cheng was still the county Cheng who was high up in the past, and I, Peng Tuo, sacrificed my life for you as a Han court dog official, I thought that you and I colluded with each other, and I Peng Tuo was no longer a Taiping Dao person." ”
"As for why the situation in Yingyang is so grim, I am persuaded to use troops." Peng Tuo frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to brush the long hair on his chest, and sighed again: "Or is it because this prince of thieves is really here, Bo is afraid that I will really capture the prince of thieves and make this immortal achievement, so I want this Wang Jing to make up such a lie, so that I can lead the crowd to Yingyang and miss this good opportunity?" ”
The two people in the tent were relatively silent for a while.
After a long time, Peng Tuo slapped his thigh violently, stood upright, and shouted that he was deceived.
Yu Qian couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Peng Tuo stroked his forehead again and again, sighed for a long time, and said: "According to what Nabo Cai said, this time Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun sent three Han army and 3,000 people to attack Nanton, and they were led by three Simas, right?" ”
Yu Qian thought for a moment and nodded in response.
"Which three?" Peng Tuo asked suddenly.
"It's Sima Sunjian of the other department, Sima Chengpu of the Zuo Army, and ......"
Before Yu Qian finished speaking, Peng Tuo hurriedly interrupted: "There is also that unknown Sima surnamed Liu!" ”
Yu Qian bowed his head according to his words and said, "Not bad."
"Yuxian Cheng Ke still remembers how these three Simas call themselves on their respective banners."
Yu Qian fell into contemplation again, but this contemplation was just a memory, and after a while, he said: "That Sun Jian's banner is Sima Sun of the Han Mission, and the Cheng Pu Banner is called Sima Cheng of the Han Zuojun, there is nothing special about these two, only the Sima Banner surnamed Liu is strange and special, and it is Sima Liu of the Han Tianwei Invincible Division." ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Peng Tuo was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and even grabbed Yu Qian's hands, and said with a big smile: "At noon, I laughed at this Sima surnamed Liu in front of the battle for being so ashamed, I don't know how thick the sky is, Yu County Cheng can still remember?" ”
Yu Qian also nodded with a chuckle: "Naturally, I remember that Qu Shuai said that Sima didn't know what the way of heaven was, and he dared to say that Tianwei was the way to cause trouble." ”
"Exactly! Exactly! Peng Tuo had already begun to prepare his armor, and he still laughed: "A few days ago, Bo Cai told me that the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Han army attacking Nanton were led by a Sima surnamed Sun, a Sima surnamed Cheng, and the prince of thieves, and asked me to stop these three people on the way to Nanton. ”
Although Yu Qian didn't know what Peng Tuo was planning, he still came to his side, prepared the iron armor on his body, and replied slowly: "Yes, after Ran Qu Shuai entered the two cities of Nanton and Cai County, he saw that the ordnance, grain and grass in the city were all taken away by Bo Dashuai, so he gave birth to a robbed prince, regardless of Sun and Cheng's thoughts. ”
"So I led tens of thousands of troops to deliberately release Sun and Cheng, and they came from behind their two departments, and were about to come to get the thief prince, but they met an invincible Liu Sima here, didn't Yu Xiancheng feel strange?"
When Yu Qianyan heard this, his body was stagnant, and his face was incredible: "Qu Shuai is saying that this Liu Sima is actually His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"What bullshit, His Royal Highness." Peng Tuo's face was full of anger, and he snorted coldly: "It's this thief prince, who called a sturdy young man to stand under the banner in silver armor as soon as possible, and almost called him a fool, I think about it now, Tianwei Invincible is so ridiculous and funny that he shouldn't be an adult in the end, since this is the case, it should only be this child prince." ”
Yu Qian nodded, but shook his head again and again, claiming to be deceitful, and said eagerly: "Although this Tianwei Invincible claims to be funny and ridiculous, it should be done by a child, but I heard that His Royal Highness ...... When the prince went out on the expedition, he was well guarded by three hundred tiger armor soldiers, but at noon today, Qu Shuai confronted the silver-armored young man, and his side was only more than ten elite soldiers, and the number of three hundred was especially inferior, right? ”
"Three hundred tiger elite soldiers, divided into two, more than 200 hidden in the camp, more than 10 people out of the camp array, just suspicious of me."
"However, the tiger soldiers are all elite horses, we and the Han army camp is only more than 100 steps away, if there are horses in the camp, when you can hear the neighing of war horses, confrontation at noon, Qu Shuai can hear the sound of horses?" Yu Qian continued to ask.
"I really didn't hear the sound of the horse's chirping." Peng took off his armor and stood still, frowned again and said to himself: "I once asked several sentry riders to go up the mountain to explore the terrain, but I know that the mountain where the Han army is stationed is steep, and there are many people digging trenches and setting up deer barriers, and the cavalry is especially difficult to enter, even one of my few sentry horses also fell and died on the hillside, if the Han army still has 300 cavalry, but it is hidden in the camp of such terrain, wouldn't it lose its sharpness and fight for trapped beasts?" ”
Yu Qian bowed his head again and again, and continued: "I heard that the prince of the Han Dynasty is an extremely intelligent person, so he should not have such a stupid arrangement. ”
Peng Tuo pondered silently, sighed and muttered: "It is the most intelligent person in the world, and he is not even ten years old, and the march is the first time, and the arrangement of the troops is lacking, which is ordinary, Yu Xiancheng thinks that this thief prince will think that these cavalry are noble, so he does not plan to ask them to participate in the war, as for the so-called sound of the horse's voice, or because of the noise before the battle, we have not heard it carefully?" ”
Yu Qian was just waiting for an answer, when he suddenly heard the panicked shouting of the soldiers outside the tent, and shouted to kill Zhentian a little farther away, before Peng Tuo could react, the guards were no longer waiting for the master to answer, and went straight into the account, kneeling on the ground to worship and said: "Qu Shuai!" It's the Han army...... It's the Han Army! ”
Peng Tuo looked puzzled, and asked: "Which Han army, where is the Han army?" ”
The guards looked up at Peng Tuo, then at Yu Qian, swallowed their saliva, and then continued: "The Han army robbed the camp, all of them were cavalry!" ”
Peng Tuo and Yu Qian were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but glance at each other, but after a moment, Peng Tuo actually laughed and said: "Is it really the cavalry of the Han Army?" How many people are there? ”
The guard was baffled by Peng Tuo's joke, but seeing that the boss had no fear, his heart was also settled, and he immediately replied: "The horses' hooves are rumbling, I'm afraid there are at least a few hundred." ”
"Great, wonderful!" After talking for a long time, Peng Tuo had already put on the iron armor, and when he heard the words of the guard, he knew that he should have hit most of the words between Fang Cai and Yu Qian, so he immediately lifted the long lance in front of the tent and ordered the guard: "You and others will take horses and weapons, and go out of the camp with me to capture the enemy." ”
It must be known that although there are many soldiers in Taiping Dao, there are nearly one million people in the world, but for many days, the reason why they are invincible and invincible in the end is only because the number of soldiers in the prefectures and counties under the rule of the Han Dynasty is too small, not to mention, most of these Taiping Dao soldiers are peasant leaders, who have been living the days of sunrise and sunset for decades, and suddenly have to fight at night, which is really unheard of.
Coupled with these personal guards led by Peng Tuo, they have been in Runan for more than a month, and they have experienced more than ten battles in large and small wars, but although they are fighting on horseback, they are actually doing some strong bosses, showing off their might, and suddenly they want to fight on horseback, and they are still cowardly in their hearts.
Peng Tuo naturally knew the trick, and when he saw the appearance of the guard, he couldn't help kicking his person and scolded: "This time I am going to capture and kill the prince of thieves, if it is as expected, the Han army will have at most 300 cavalry, such a world-famous achievement, don't hesitate!" ”
The guards were still unsure, and looked up and muttered, "Prince of Thieves? ”
"It's the son of the thief!" Peng Tuo was already extremely impatient, and roared: "Go and lead my horse, if you can really capture this thief prince tonight, Lao Tzu will reward you with ten mothers-in-law!" ”
The guards were overjoyed, and they had to bow down and thank them.
Peng Tuo kicked it again and scolded angrily: "Go and lead the horse." ”
The guards stumbled, but at last they were still overjoyed, and turned around and ran out of the tent.
At this time, Yu Qian said again: "Qu Shuai can't fall for the Han army's strategy!" ”
"The Han cavalry robbed the camp, what strategy can they have?"
"If it is really the tiger knight on the prince's side who comes to rob the camp, it is a ploy."
When Peng Tuo heard this, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were like electricity, and he stared at Yu Qian, but he didn't say a word.
Yu Qian hurriedly said: "If the camp on the mountain is the prince's command, and the three hundred tiger cavalry should be among them, but the mountain terrain is steep, and there are ditches and deer barricades connected to it, how can the cavalry suddenly descend the mountain at night and attack my camp for several miles at night?" ”
Peng Tuo suddenly realized, shook his head again and again, and said: "That's why, what do you think?" ”
"Or the Emperor's ...... It was that Zuo Zhonglang who personally arrived with the cavalry under the command of Huangfu Song, and I heard that there were two cavalry captains under his command, one was called Chun Yuqiong and the other was Cao Cao, each commanding 1,500 cavalry, or galloping to the aid of the prince. ”
Peng Tuo still nodded, and was silent for a moment, before patting Yu Qian's shoulder, and said with a laugh: "However, whether it is the tiger knight, or the cavalry led by Chun Yuqiong and Cao Cao, in the end, it still proves that Sima is the prince of the mountain village." ”
Yu Qianyan was stunned when he heard this, and was immediately speechless.
Peng Tuo looked up to the sky and laughed, carried Changshuo on his shoulder, and walked out of the tent.
