Chapter 809. Wolf Smoke Rises (END).

……

……

The defense system of the south road of Yulin Military Town has been perfected for hundreds of years and the experience of countless wars, and there are a large number of beacon piers and passes throughout the territory.

If it is replaced by the Mongol army, no matter how fast the speed is, the dungeons in various places will light the wolf smoke in time to issue a warning, and Lin Pingru, Zhang Dacheng, Huo Cheng and others, as the military governors of the South Road of Yulin Military Town, can also delay the news in time.

However, this time it was a friendly attack, and with the warrant of the Governor's Palace, the situation was naturally very different.

No matter how strong a castle is, it is always easy to break through from the inside.

Since entering the territory of Yulin South Road, He Zhang has hidden the traces of the march and arranged a small group of elite soldiers as an advance force to open the way.

This advance force disguised itself as the messenger of the Huamachi camp along the way, so that the beacon piers and passes along the way were all lowered their vigilance, and then they looked for various reasons to enter the beacon piers and passes, and seized control of these places with lightning speed, so that not only the passes were powerless to resist, but the beacon piers in various places did not have time to light the wolf smoke to warn.

Therefore, when the new army of soldiers and the new army of Qi Bin arrived at the Jingbian Acropolis, several military attachΓ©s on the South Yulin Road were still unaware.

It is worth mentioning that this operation was carried out by the first infantry battalion of the new army, and the sergeants of the first battalion of the infantry were all veterans of a hundred battles with a resolute personality and strong martial arts.

The 1st Infantry Battalion did not disappoint He Zhang, pulling out eleven beacon piers and three passes along the way, each time it was clean and neat, and there was no miss.

Seeing the performance of the first infantry battalion, He Zhang's face was also bright, and he only felt that Qi Bin's new army was more well-trained, but the soldiers of the new army were more brave and decisive, and the quality of individual soldiers was much higher than that of Qi Bin's new army.

Regardless of He Zhang's contesting thoughts, it is said that after the new army of soldiers and Qi Bin's new army arrived at the Jingbian Acropolis on Yulin South Road, they saw that the city wall of Jingbian was more than two zhang high, the garrison was more than 2,000 people, and there was a moat surrounding, and all kinds of city defense equipment were also readily available.

Therefore, He Zhang also repeated the old trick, let a small group of elite soldiers disguise themselves as messengers of the Huamachi camp to enter the Jingbian Acropolis, and after entering the city, they suddenly made it difficult to control the city gate, and then the new army of soldiers and Qi Bin's new army raided and broke the city.

After breaking the city, seeing the chaotic appearance inside the Jingbian Acropolis, it was obvious that the other party had not reacted yet, He Zhang did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "Mao Jiadong, you will lead the cavalry battalion to control the situation in the Acropolis, and once it is resisted, it will be suppressed immediately!" Qi Bin, let your soldiers control the city wall and city gates, and you must not let anyone go! Liu Manniu, you transfer 1,000 troops from the first battalion of the infantry, and follow me to capture the garrison officer of the Jing border guard! When the armies are doing business, they should emphasize to the soldiers and civilians here that this operation is a counterinsurgency in the Governor's Palace, so as to minimize resistance and chaos in the Acropolis! ”

As He Zhang's words fell, several generals received orders in unison, and then acted according to He Zhang's orders, and He Zhang led the first battalion of infantry to attack the garrison in the center of the acropolis.

The New Army of Soldiers and the New Army of Qi Bin were both the leading elite divisions in Shaanxi and Gansu, and most of the border troops of the Jing Border Guards were the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not be reused, and only a small number of private soldiers were still elite, so the two armies easily controlled the situation of the Jing Border Guards.

However, when He Zhang led his troops to attack the garrison, he encountered some trouble.

Originally, He Zhang took the lead in attacking the Jing Border Guard on Yulin South Road, in addition to the geographical location of the Jing Border Guard being the most important, but also because Zhang Dacheng, the garrison officer of the Jing Border Guard, had the softest temperament, the least courage, and the weakest strength, and could easily complete the task.

However, when He Zhang led his troops to attack the garrison, he found that the resistance of the garrison was beyond imagination, and when he fought with the soldiers of the first battalion of infantry, he did not fall behind at all!

Most of the guards of the garrison are from private soldiers, and having such combat power is also within He Zhang's expectations, but the strength of the garrison is more than double that of He Zhang's estimates, with as many as six or seven hundred people, He Zhang only led a thousand troops to attack here, and the troops did not have an advantage, so they naturally fell into a stalemate.

Seeing the resistance of the garrison, He Zhang couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, according to the information he had gathered, Zhang Dacheng, the commander of the Jingbian garrison, only had more than 500 private soldiers, and the number of private soldiers stationed in the garrison would never exceed 300, but now there were six or seven hundred private soldiers fiercely resisting, which was obviously something other than intelligence.

Therefore, on the one hand, He Zhang urged the soldiers to strengthen the attack, and on the other hand, he transferred another thousand elite soldiers from the first infantry battalion to support, and at the same time interrogated the prisoners of the Jingbian Acropolis and asked them about the abnormal situation in the garrison.

Soon, He Zhang got the news, not long before the new army of soldiers and Qi Bin's new army broke the city, Lin Pingru, the general of Yulin South Road, and Huo Cheng, the garrison officer of Jian'an Fort, came to visit together, and now Lin Pingru and Huo Cheng are talking with Zhang Dacheng in the garrison mansion, and the garrison of the garrison is not only some of Zhang Dacheng's personal soldiers, but also Lin Pingru and Huo Cheng's private guards!

After learning the news, He Zhang was immediately overjoyed! I even want to shout "God help me"!

Lin Pingru, Huo Cheng, and Zhang Dacheng are all the leaders of the resistance order on Yulin South Road, He Zhang originally thought that after he broke through the Jing border guard, he still needed to continue to attack Lin Pingru and Huo Cheng's station, but he didn't expect that by chance, he would have the opportunity to kill the three of them! In this way, the subsequent tasks are undoubtedly much easier!

Thinking of this, He Zhang immediately ordered: "Come on, order the firearms battalion to come here and obey orders!" ”

As more and more troops besieged the garrison, Lin Pingru, Zhang Dacheng, and Huo Cheng in the garrison became more and more panicked.

Now, they already know that the army that broke the city is the new army of soldiers in the Huamachi camp, and they also understand that the new army of soldiers must be acting this time because they violated Zhao Junchen's military orders, they never expected that Zhao Junchen would be so tough, and at this time of war, he would also send troops to attack them, and at this point, I am afraid there is no room for recovery.

In addition to attacking the garrison, the soldiers of the new army will shout loudly that their attack is to quell the rebellion on the order of the Qincha, and Zhang Dacheng, the garrison officer of the Jingbian guard, rebelled against the imperial court, which also greatly shakes the morale of the defenders of the garrison.

Listening to the sounds of fighting, screaming, and weapon collision outside the garrison mansion, Zhang Dacheng had no idea at all, and asked Lin Pingru and Huo Cheng in a trembling voice: "Two adults, the new army of soldiers is about to attack, and the private soldiers outside can't stop it for long, what should we, what should we do now?" ”

Don't look at Lin Pingru and Huo Cheng's attitude before this, but that was just because they thought that Zhao Junchen would never make a big move against them, and now that the new army of soldiers has attacked, and they have quickly broken through the Jingbian Acropolis, they are even more flustered than Zhang Dacheng, who has always been timid, and they have also lost their minds.

Huo Cheng was in a panic, but he couldn't tell the priority of the matter anymore, he only knew that he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Dacheng's nose and accused: "Zhang Dacheng, you, what did you do!" Jingbianwei is also a fortified city, how could it be so easily broken by the new army of soldiers? If the new army of soldiers can't easily break through the city, then we still have room for bargaining, but now...... It's all over now! ”

After all, Lin Pingru has a higher status, and he is still a little calm, knowing that this is not the time to accuse each other, but his voice is also trembling, and he said: "You say, if we are arrested, will Lord Qincha forgive us?" ”

Prior to this, Lin Pingru had always addressed Zhao Junchen by name, but now he has quietly become "Lord Qincha".

Zhang Dacheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I have said a long time ago, this Lord Qincha is not an easy to fool, and now he sends troops to attack us, he must have the intention of killing chickens and monkeys, even if he is captured, I am afraid it will ......."

Hearing the sound of fighting outside getting closer and closer, Huo Cheng's mood became more and more unstable, and he said impatiently: "If you can't fall, you can't fight, so what's the matter?" Just waiting? They're about to come in! I shouldn't have been here, I'm so stuck! ”

Just when the three of them had no idea, a private soldier hurriedly ran into the room and hurriedly reported: "Three adults, it's not good! Outside came another army of two thousand men, and a thousand of them were musketeers! ”

"What!"

After hearing the report, the faces of the three of them changed drastically again, and they all exclaimed.

In this era, although the musket has many limitations, such as inconvenient operation, easy to fail in moisture, too long firing intervals, etc., but once a large number of musketeers are gathered together to shoot continuously, it is also amazingly powerful, far exceeding the bow and arrow.

Therefore, once the musketeers are engaged in the attack, their private soldiers must be seriously damaged, and the current stalemate cannot be maintained.

Thinking of this, Lin Pingru finally made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, I can only descend, if I continue to resist hard, I am afraid that the matter will be irreparable!"

After hearing Lin Pingru's decision, Huo Cheng and Zhang Dacheng's faces became more and more ugly, but after they hesitated for a moment, they finally did not object.

At the same time, guard the outside of the house.

After receiving support, He Zhang planned to further strengthen the offensive against the garrison.

But at this time, a person dressed as a staff member suddenly held a letter of surrender and asked to see He Zhang, and it was to show He Zhang that Lin Pingru, Huo Cheng, and Zhang Dacheng were willing to surrender.

He Zhang was not surprised by the surrender of Lin Pingru and others, after all, they were now powerless to fight back.

However, when He Zhang reviewed the book, he laughed angrily.

It turned out that in this letter of surrender, Lin Pingru, Huo Cheng, and Zhang Dacheng certainly expressed their intention to surrender, but at the same time, they also put forward many conditions.

They are not to be held accountable for resisting military orders, to ensure the safety of their wealth and property, and not to harass their relatives who take revenge......

After reading it, He Zhang tore up this "book of descent" and sneered: "These people are really arrogant, they still can't see the situation clearly, and they still want to bargain at this time!" ”

After speaking, He Zhang looked coldly at the staff of the garrison palace kneeling in front of him, and said: "You go and tell Lin Pingru, Zhang Dacheng, and Huo Cheng that they are not qualified to put forward conditions, how to deal with them, what they will say will not count, they will not count, only Lord Qincha has the final say, there is only one way in front of them, that is, unconditional restraint!" Only in this way will it be possible for Lord Qincha to fall lightly, and Ben will also say a few good words for them in front of Lord Qincha! Now, Ben will give them a stick of incense time to think about it, if they don't tie themselves in front of Ben General to ask for guilt after a stick of incense, then Ben will immediately break through the garrison, and everyone will be guilty of one more crime! ”

Hearing He Zhang's words, the staff member of the garrison in front of him didn't seem surprised.

The staff member was in his early thirties, small and unsightly, but his eyes shimmered with shrewdness.

In fact, after this person saw the content of the surrender letter, he knew that He Zhang would never agree, but Lin Pingru and the others could not listen to his advice at all.

After hesitating for a moment, the staff member mustered up the courage to say, "General He, please listen to the student!" Now it is a critical period for the fire to be screened into the Kou, and the new army of soldiers is the main elite of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army, so you must not delay the attack of the troops this time, otherwise it will delay the border war...... If you agree to these conditions, then General Lin and Huo Shoubei will fully cooperate with your actions in the future and help you completely control the situation on Yulin South Road! In this way, you can complete the task of Lord Qincha in the shortest possible time, and return to the camp of Huamachi as soon as possible to listen to the next order of Lord Qincha...... Therefore, this matter is good for you, for Lord Qincha, and for my general, and I ask you to think about it again, it is not a bad thing for public or private......"

But before the staff member could finish speaking, he was interrupted by He Zhang: "Joke! After the general arrested Lin Pingru, Huo Cheng and others, Yulin South Road was already leaderless, and the general had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, so why was it difficult to control the overall situation? Lin Pingru and Huo Cheng, even if they dare not cooperate, how much time can they delay? What's more, Ben Jiang has never been a person with them, so how can there be comradeship? ”

After hearing He Zhang's decision, this staff member sighed for a long time, bowed to He Zhang again, and said: "In this case, the student will inform my generals of General He's decision......

With that, the staff member was about to get up and leave.

At this moment, He Zhang suddenly asked, "What's your name?" What is the position in the Jingbian Garrison? ”

But it was He Zhang who saw that this staff member still dared to speak for his master at this time, obviously a loyal person, and his thinking was also very clear, and he had a slight favor in his heart, so he asked the name and origin of this person.

The staff member was slightly stunned, but still replied: "The student's name is Fu Pingsheng, and he is in charge of copywriting and writing in the Jingbian Guard Garrison Mansion. ”

He Zhang nodded, and then waved his hand to let Fu Pingsheng leave.

Next, Fu Pingsheng returned to the garrison mansion to convey He Zhang's attitude to Lin Pingru and others, and He Zhang suspended the offensive and waited for Lin Pingru and others to surrender.

It's just that after He Zhang waited for a quarter of an hour, he still didn't see Lin Pingru and the others surrender, and he didn't know if they were determined to resist to the end, or hesitated and didn't make a decision.

But He Zhang obviously would not wait any longer, and was about to order the new army of soldiers to attack.

However, at this moment, the gate of the garrison suddenly opened, and then a team of sergeants tied up three people were seen out of the garrison mansion.

The three people who were tied up were all wearing the costumes of the generals and garrison officers, obviously Lin Pingru, Zhang Dacheng, and Huo Cheng.

Obviously, these three people have been betrayed, and after being tied up, they are still struggling, and they are glaring at the person in front of them, but it is a pity that their mouths have been gagged by the cloth, otherwise they must have scolded repeatedly.

This person is dressed as a scribe, and it is Fu Pingsheng who sent the book just now!

I saw Fu Pingsheng walk up to He Zhang, bow down and salute: "General He, according to the previous agreement, Lin Pingru, the general of Yulin South Road, Zhang Dacheng, the commander of the Jing border guard, and Huo Cheng, the guard officer of the Dingbian guard, are now bound in front of you to ask for their guilt, and I also ask General He to remember the promise just now and plead for them in front of Lord Qincha!" ”

He Zhang glanced at Lin Pingru and the others, and then looked at Fu Pingsheng deeply, and asked, "Are they binding themselves to the crime?" Or was it forced to be kidnapped? ”

Fu Pingsheng's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Of course it's self-restraint and excuse yourself!" …… In any case, they all followed General He's orders! I only hope that General He will not break his promise and leave them a way to live! ”

Seeing Fu Pingsheng's performance, He Zhang was a little unsure of this person.

Thinking that he had no reliable staff by his side, He Zhang said slowly: "Ben Jiang will naturally not break his word, and after returning to the Huamachi camp, he will also plead for them in front of Lord Qincha, but Lord Qincha's final decision is not something that Ben will be able to interfere with...... As for you, follow Ben General from today onwards! ”

Hearing He Zhang's words, Fu Pingsheng was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and did not have any intention of resisting, but bowed down again and replied: "The student obeys the order, and he will definitely do his best in the future, why should the general do his best!" ”

Under He Zhang's various arrangements, the defense system of Yulin South Road was ineffective, and it was not able to warn Lin Pingru and others in time, resulting in them being attacked by surprise attacks, and they were trapped in a cage without much resistance.

However, the border defense system of the military towns in Gansu is still functioning effectively.

At the same time that He Zhang gradually controlled the South Yulin Road, in a beacon pier on the border of Gansu, Cheng Zhu, a border soldier, was standing on the lookout and looking into the distance.

A few days ago, the nearby beacon pier received a warning from the Gansu military town, saying that the Mongolian coalition army was likely to launch an offensive from their direction, and for a time all the border troops were nervous, and they did not dare to scatter as usual, and there would be a border soldier on the lookout of the beacon pier at any time to be in charge of monitoring.

Cheng Zhu has been on the lookout for more than an hour, but no one has changed the guard, it is inevitable that he is a little bored and impatient, and muttered to himself: "It is said that the Mongolian Tatars are going to attack from Gansu, I don't believe it, in Gansu, where birds do not lay eggs, even if the Mongolian Tatars attack, they can loot a few buckets of grain......

However, in the middle of Cheng Zhu's words, he suddenly stopped, and looked into the distance in amazement.

In the steppe in the distance, a Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared.

At first, it was only a few small groups of cavalry, but it was only three or five hundred people, but the more and more they gathered, soon it was boundless, black and oppressive, and there were Mongolian cavalry everywhere as far as the eye could see!

Cheng Zhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the beacon pier, and screamed: "The Mongolian army is coming!" The Mongol army is coming! There are at least tens of thousands of horses! Light the Red Wolf Smoke! Light the red wolf smoke! ”

On this day, in the defense area of Gansu Military Town, there were beacons and wolf smoke everywhere!

After nearly a month of testing and arrangement, the Mongol coalition finally launched an attack!
