Chapter 101: The Great Battle of Changsha
Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp. -----Southern song dynasty. Xin Qiji's "Breaking the Array"
It is said that the first group army of the Qinglong Army, commanded by Huang Gai, Zhou Budo, and Xi Zhicai, took advantage of the night to sail, the knife was unsheathed, the cavalry broke through, and besieged on three sides, and conquered Hengyang, a big city ------ by the Hunan River, within an hour.
Gu Jian, the leader of Yicong in Hengyang County, was stunned by Fu Tong and escorted to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and saw the handsome young man sitting on the Taishi's chair at a glance, but he didn't know each other, and asked, "Who is the honorable driver?" Why did you attack me Hengyang? ”
Chen Long stood up majestically, stood on the high platform and looked down on Gu Jian, and did not speak. Huang Gai next to him said: "Brother Gu, I have heard that you are chivalrous and have a reputation in the township." coincided with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the power vacuum in Hengyang, and the public pushed you to protect the township party. However, my lord Chen Long has been ruling the counties of Lingling County for a long time, practicing benevolence and righteousness, accepting displaced people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the surrounding fifteen counties are not respectful. Why do you pretend to be deaf and dumb, neither send envoys nor pay taxes, and want to stand on your own feet in Hengyangye? ”
Gu Jian knew that the tall and handsome man in front of him was Chen Long, and sneered: "It turned out to be General Chen." Hengyang originally belongs to Jingzhou's territory, and it seems that it is not the turn of Jiaozhou to assassinate Shiguan, right? ”
Chen Long saw that Gu Jian was not afraid of death, but he had a good impression. In addition, he was not bad to the people, Chen Long said: "The history of Jingzhou Thorn was originally the queen's intention and me, but it was taken away by Liu Biao by despicable means. I have a large number of adults, don't worry about him, but Jingzhou is a place, everywhere, the people are displaced, only I Lingling is stable and prosperous, you don't care about the well-being of the people of Hengyang, refuse to obey me, and lead the troops to divide here, but what is your intention? ”
Gu Jian was silent when he heard it, and his face was not angry. Chen Long said again: "You were defeated and captured, and you refused to surrender to me, you should have taken your head." However, I still have a bit of wind and bones in you, and there are no bad deeds, come to someone, loosen the ties, and let him go! ”
Gu Jian was stunned for a moment until the binding was exhausted, and then he came to his senses and said, "If you don't kill me, aren't you afraid that I will sue in front of Liu Jingsheng?" ”
Chen Long snorted and said, "I am not afraid of He Jin, will I be afraid of a mere Liu Biao?" Zhou Cang, give Gu Jian another horse, don't let him say I'm stingy in front of Liu Mian. His wife is young, and he is left to his own devices. ”
Gu Jian gritted his teeth and walked out of the lobby, looking at the blue sky outside the lobby, only to feel like a world away. The world is so big, highlighting how small you are, and when you meet a character like Chen Long, but you refuse to surrender, will it be the biggest mistake of your life?
Gu Jian hurriedly went to pick up his wife and children, and on the way, he saw that Qinglong Junqiu had not committed any crimes, and the people lived in peace, so he couldn't help but sigh a few times. He has no official position, he is dressed in cloth, leading his wife and children, where does he have the courage to sue in front of Liu Biao, the family sleeps overnight, miserable, and does not mention returning to his hometown in the countryside to farm for a living. Later, Gu Jian's son Gu Lang worked for Chen Long, which is not mentioned later.
The generals were a little puzzled when they saw that Chen Long easily let Gu Jian go, and Huang Gai asked, "Lord, why did you let Gu Jian go?" If he really went to Liu Biao to complain, if Liu Biao drove his troops south, war would be inevitable. ”
Chen Long smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, you help me explain the explanation." ”
Zhou Budo said: "The lord let Gu Jian go, and he was hoping that he would sue." If Liu Biao can be provoked to take the initiative to attack Lingling, there is just a reason to fight him and take Jingzhou justifiably. I'm afraid that Liu Biao has just taken office as the assassin of Jingzhou, and his foothold is still unstable, and Yuan Shu covets Jingzhou, so I'm afraid I won't be able to move at all. The lord's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, just occupying a Hengyang, may not be successful. The generals were relieved. Huang Gai said: "The lord originally meant this. Anyway, he and Liu Biao will not be good in the future, and they can grab as much territory as they can now? ”
Chen Long nodded and said: "Grab Hengyang first, and then grab Guiyang, just try the bottom line of Liu Biao's patience." If he writes, then hit Queen He, I am naturally not afraid; If he comes to martial arts, we will accompany him to the end. saved Liu Pan this time, which can be regarded as a salute before a soldier. I'm afraid that Gu Jian won't have a chance to see Liu Biao at all. ”
Hengyang has been established, and Zhao Yun has personally led the two divisions of the Second Army to take over the defense of Hengyang, recruit and surrender troops, pacify the people, and promote Chen Long's virtue and politics. The people of Hengyang gradually poured out of their residences, and seeing that the Qinglong Army had not committed any crimes, the market and the docks were slowly restored to their former prosperity.
The intelligence of Changsha flew like snowflakes, confirming that Su Dai was outside Changsha City, leading 30,000 troops. The troops attacking Huang Zhongyou County totaled more than 20,000 people and were led by Chen Wen, Su Dai's deputy. Huang Gai, Zhou Budo, and Xi Zhicai had already made the next battle plan, and Chen Long agreed, and the First Army boarded the ship again and went to their respective battlefields.
The first group army was divided into four parts, the first part was composed of 5,000 spearmen, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 5,000 archers, led by Liu Yong, Liu Xian, and Liu Min, with Xi Zhicai as the military division, went straight to Liaojiawan in Youshui to get off the boat, and after assembling, raided the flank of Chen Wen's army, and attacked Huang Zhong inside and outside, attracting Chen Wen's main force to assemble.
The second part is composed of 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 5,000 spearmen, led by Huang Gai, and disembarked at Liaojiawan, and ambushed to the west side of Chen Wen's camp in Youxian County.
The third part consisted of 5,000 cavalry, led by Fu Tong, ambushed in the middle of the road, and when the Sudai battalion was attacked and the army was losing ground, it cut through the enemy formation from the flank, so that the enemy was divided and fell into chaos. At this time, the three troops launched a strong attack at the same time, and Chen Wen was bound to be defeated.
The fourth part consisted of the remaining 5,000 archers and 100 special troops, arrived in Jianning along the Xiangshui, and quietly injected into Luojiachong, the land choke -------point between Youxian and Changsha, at night, and Zhou Cang led 5,000 archers to hide on the cliffs on both sides of the Luojiachong mountain road, waiting for Chen Wen's defeated troops to arrive.
Seeing that the 5,000 archers were in ambush, Chen Long took a hundred special forces such as Gan Ning, Hu Ji, and Zu Lang to the outskirts of Changsha in the dark night. The countryside is pitch black, only the moonlight and starlight, and hundreds of good horses come to the edge of the jungle in the southern suburbs of Changsha like a gallop. Chen Long saw that there was a flash of light on the horizon, and knew that the camp was not far away, so he ordered the troops to temporarily dismount and rest, and everyone and horses hid in the jungle.
Hu Ji took a team member and bypassed the gate guarded by soldiers, and felt through the gap in the deer horn village. After a while, he came back with a stunned tongue, and it turned out that he happened to meet a person who went out of the tent to go to the toilet, and was knocked out by Hu Ji and brought back, and Chen Long ordered to wake up.
Hu Ji pulled off the pants where his tongue peed into the crotch of his pants and shoved the wettest part into his mouth. The tongue was awakened after a while, and for the first time in his life, he tasted his urine so fishy, and he opened his eyes wide and tried to look around, and saw several big men standing in front of him with black charcoal on their faces, and he was so frightened that he closed his eyes again.
Hu Ji frightened him a few words in his ear, then ripped open his foul-smelling pants, Chen Long pulled out a serrated dagger, and asked, "Where is Su Dai's camp?" ”
The tongue quickly confessed the location of the lord's tent, and pleaded for his life. Chen Long also asked about the frequency of patrols in the camp and the guards of the Su Dai tent, and ordered people to guard the tongue. In the center of the entire large camp, dozens of pro-corps guards were gathered in the camp of the Su Dai, and no matter which direction they approached, they had to face at least three or five guards.
Chen Long pondered for a moment and said to Gan Ning: "If there is an assassin outside the big tent, do you think Su Dai will come out of the tent to meet him or flee from the other direction?" ”
Gan Ning's black face came over, almost invisible in the dark night, only his two shining eyes and a row of white teeth floating in the air, which was very terrifying. After thinking for a while, he said: "Su Dai's martial arts are not outstanding, and it is estimated that he does not have much confidence to go out and kill assassins, so he will most likely run away." Chen Long nodded and said, "Then there is a way." However, it is still necessary to get some military uniforms of the other side. ”
Concealment is the focus of special forces training for a long time, Chen Long misses the night vision equipment and sniper rifles of later generations, but in this wild era of cold weapons, he can only be close to the body to assassinate. Hu Ji examined his tongue for a long time before he realized that the troops of the Su Dynasty originated from the militias of various places, and there was no unified military uniform at all, and at night they only wrapped a white cloth around their arms to distinguish friend from foe.
Hu Ji entered the camp again, and soon stole a lot of white cloth, and everyone tied their arms one after another. Chen Long instructed: "Hu Ji took the first group of twenty people to sneak into the shadows of the east of the Su Dynasty tent to ambush, heard the cuckoo call, immediately exposed his whereabouts and feinted to attack the big tent, after attracting the attention of the defenders, do not fall in love with the battle, and quickly evacuate."
"Gan Ning took twenty men and went to the shadows north of the big tent to lay an ambush; Zulang took twenty men and went to the shadows south of the big tent to lay an ambush; The rest of them will come with me to the west side of the big tent and lay an ambush. Any team, seeing someone Gong Wei general out of the big tent to escape, set up a killer, quickly evacuated. If Sudai came out from the east to pursue the Assassins, the north and south teams would need to attack at the same time to cover the escape of the east group. Any group that succeeds, with the call of the night owl, evacuates at the same time. If they are surrounded, they will be broken into pieces, quickly camouflage with white cloth, and flee separately. In the end, everyone returned here before dawn to meet, and if there were still people including me who did not come back before dawn, the people here could not wait any longer, and they all had to withdraw to Luojiachong. ”
The generals left with their respective team members, and Chen Long also quickly disappeared into the darkness with his own team members. Su Dai is most likely to escape from his own direction, as long as he lets himself see clearly, he will be able to succeed.
The fence of the Soviet-dai battalion was full of loopholes, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling were very sparse, and there was obviously a lack of training and unified scheduling. Chen Long's team members took advantage of the shadow of the camp tent to silently enter the predetermined ambush site, and saw from a distance that Su Dai's big tent was surrounded by torches and personal soldiers. Chen Long counted the moment, pursed his lips and shouted: "Cuckoo, cuckoo......"
On the east side of the Su Dai tent, a few shouts broke out, and there was the sound of blade fighting, faintly mixed with the shouts of assassins, and the guards in the west drew their swords in response, turning to the east to fight, and at the same time, the lights in the big tent were lit, and the tarpaulin on the west side of the big tent was cut open by a dagger, and several figures came out of the fish, and quickly ran towards the camp tent in the west.
Chen Long saw a person in the middle, wearing only underwear and underwear under the torch, and was escorted by several guards to the side of his hidden camp tent, with a wave of his big hand, Shi Shiran took the lead to walk out of the camp tent, and dozens of team members rushed out, with dazzling white cloth on their arms.
The guards could see clearly in the dark, and thought they were their own soldiers, Su Dai shouted: "You all go over there, search for the assassins, and kill them if you are caught." ”
Chen Long responded: "Yes, there is no forgiveness for killing!" The sawtooth dagger had already swallowed and spit out, and Su Dai's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at the blood gushing out of his chest in amazement, and his eyes quickly rolled up and fell to the ground. Several guards were also killed in the blink of an eye under the precise killing techniques of the surrounding team members.
Hearing the movement in the nearby camp tent, human voices gradually came out, and Long Chen quickly cut off the head of the Su Dynasty, and then let out a scream of a night owl. The team members lined up and quickly walked to the east, and the various camp tents rushed out one after another with a group of soldiers with weapons, and ran frantically towards the central tent, Chen Long's team passed through this chaotic crowd, knocking down several soldiers who were asking at the gate of the camp, and Shi Shiran disappeared into the darkness outside the camp.
