Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 86 What is a Fighter?
PS: I deliberately added a new chapter, in order to thank Nanxi's husband and classmates for their love, and the five 88 starting coins in a row were rewarded, so that Bai Xue was grateful, and added pressure, only to write harder in return. And congratulations on being the second disciple of this book.
The Celestial Master Army outside the city finally retreated like a tide, and the Eagle's Nest warriors in the city let out bursts of cheers.
Nan Ying's heart gradually became heavy, he had already made two mistakes in a row when he first came into battle, he had underestimated Zhang Xiu before, but now he had underestimated the combat power of the Heavenly Master Army. The enemy launched three waves of tentative attacks, and although nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded under the rain of arrows, they did not break up as quickly as he expected, let alone storm the city gate desperately, but successfully filled the moat outside the city without fear of death, and in the following attack they were able to push the siege equipment straight to the bottom of the city.
Outside the city, hundreds of corpses and broken flags littered the ground, as well as broken arrows and broken feathers stuck in the ground, the air was filled with an oppressive smell of death.
Nan Ying couldn't help but gasp a few times, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he finally realized that not every good soldier has the potential to be a general. And the big scene of the battle of 10,000 people in front of him is far from being comparable to any past experience of a special forces soldier. I was too optimistic and confident before, and the road to learning in the future is still very long.
He listened to the cheers of the soldiers beside him, and suddenly regained a trace of confidence, these boys really impressed him, they were also in the first battle, and their performance was indeed good. In the defensive battle just now, the whole battalion fought calmly, and the order was forbidden, although dozens of people were hit by stray arrows, they all gritted their teeth and held on, and no one retreated without authorization.
The sound sounded behind him, and Nan Ying didn't reply: "High-speed rail, how are the injured brothers?" ”
Gao Tie looked a little excited and said: "Sir, don't worry, we haven't been damaged in battle, our yak leather armor is really nothing to say, and the injured brothers have also suffered some minor injuries on the exposed parts, and they will be fine!" ”
Nanying said in a low voice: "That's good!" Let's hope we'll have that luck in the next round! ”
Gao Tie raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, why do you seem to be preoccupied, don't you have confidence in this battle?" ”
Nan Ying suddenly came to his senses, turned around and smiled, "How is it possible?" I'm just used to hoping for the best and preparing for the worst! ”
He stared into the city and sighed, "It's all this hateful rebel army, they have completely disrupted my arrangement!" I don't know what the situation is now? ”
Gao Tie said with a smile: "I was about to talk about this, just now Fang Hu sent someone to report that he had set up an ambush on Long Street and had successfully annihilated a group of 200 rebels. But he didn't know if there were still rebels arriving one after another, so they were still ambushing after clearing the streets! ”
Nanying couldn't help but praise: "This kid is a ghost!" I wondered, how could such a stupid person as Fang Yue have such a smart brother? ”
The two of them laughed wildly together.
Gao Tie suddenly whispered: "Sir, the handsome soldiers and horses should be in place, right?" When are they ready to attack? ”
Nanying said lightly: "What? Looks like you don't have confidence in this battle, right? ”
Gao Tie looked embarrassed and said, "That's not it!" My subordinates are just a little worried, the enemy army is ten times larger than mine, although they are still only storming the north gate, but after all, there are plenty of troops, if we divide our troops to the nearest east gate, we will no longer be able to divide our troops to garrison! ”
He smiled bitterly and said, "So my subordinates want to know if Gao Shuai has arrived on the battlefield and when they will attack!" ”
Nan Ying said leisurely: "If I am correct, they have already hidden in a hidden place, let's easily recuperate!" ”
He was overjoyed when he saw Gao Tie's face, and smiled again: "However, they won't attack now!" Unless it's the Heavenly Master Army, as you say, divide the troops to capture the East Gate! Otherwise they will never take any action! ”
The joy that had just risen in Gao Tie's heart immediately disappeared, and he said dumbfounded: "Why is this? ”
"Fighters!" Nanying looked into the distance, "They are waiting for a fighter plane to appear!" ”
Zhang Xiu stood proudly on a low slope, full of ambition in his heart. Although he lost more than 700 soldiers, the price was still worth it, and once the siege ladder he painstakingly built could rush to the edge of the city, the battle could be said to be without suspense.
Since he successfully occupied the two counties of Baozhong and Chuyang, he has been coveting the strategic location of Nanzheng City adjacent to the water and the rich treasury in the city. It is because Zhang Xiu has been doing his best to painstakingly build all kinds of siege equipment, and even specially invited a Mo family heir to create a large ladder car equipped with a shield, winch, and grappling hook, and a siege tower for soldiers to directly step on the head of the city, and use this to train soldiers for many days, which can be said to be a must for Nan Zheng Zhi.
He frowned, if the inside of the city should be combined in time, it would be even more icing on the cake, I heard that the troops controlled by a few internal should be at least four or five hundred people, although it seems to be not much, but it is enough to become a strange army that turns the tide at a critical moment.
He was upset for a while, it had been a few hours since the war began, why was there still no civil strife in the city, was there something wrong?
A sacrificial wine hurried in, and a few steps away shouted, "Master of Heaven, a thousand joys! ”
Zhang Xiu said absentmindedly: "Where does the joy come from? ”
The sacrificial wine was overjoyed and said, "Master! According to a soldier who had just besieged the city, he was the closest to the city wall, and his ears were good, and he could faintly hear the sound of fighting in the city! ”
Zhang Xiu's eyes were shining, and he blurted out: "It must be Zhang and Li who are the opposite!" ”
The sacrificial wine nodded and said, "It must be so!" ”
Zhang Xiu looked straight at Nan Zheng, as if he wanted to see through the thick city wall, and saw that the Heavenly Master Army in the Qing City was shouting a fierce battle, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He said to himself, "No wonder, this is the only one who has thrown into the defense of the city!" ”
The sacrificial wine smiled and said: "Although the defenders in the city are not weak, but the city is afraid that it has become a pot of porridge, and they are just strong to the death!" ”
He glanced at the joy on Zhang Xiu's face, and took the opportunity to say: "Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, please immediately order, all the troops will attack the city with all their might!" ”
Zhang Xiu is a cautious person after all, hesitated slightly, shook his head and said: "No! Leave 3,000 people to guard the Chinese army, and the other 6,000 men and horses are all pressed! ”
He looked at the sacrificial wine that he wanted to say and stopped, and said with a smile: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, besides, the defenders in the city are only hundreds, and six thousand men and horses are enough!" ”
The sacrificial wine hesitated: "But at this time, there is a great chaos in the city, and the defenders in the city must have no fighting spirit, it is a good fighter to attack and kill with all their might!" ”
"Fighters?" Zhang Xiu chuckled and said: "Don't worry too much, if you deserve it in the city, you will definitely open the city gate directly and welcome the army into the city!" Even if their entire army is gone, how many people will be left of the Han army in the city after the civil strife? ”
He said lightly: "Therefore, as long as Neiying makes a move, whether it is successful or not, it will achieve the effect we expect, and I was only worried about one thing before, that is, they were recognized in advance and could not take any action!" ”
He said proudly: "This is our fighter!" ”
The sacrificial wine thought about it, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "Shijun is wise!" ”
Three miles away from the rear of Zhang Xiuzhong's army camp, there is a vast dense forest nestled in the mountains.
The lush and towering trees stretched as far as the eye could see, and it was impossible for anyone to guess that in this seemingly secluded and far-reaching forest, there was a cavalry of nearly 2,000 men quietly hidden. They are like a sharp arrow that glows coldly, ready to leave the string at the best time and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
The black-clad warriors of the Eagle's Nest were densely packed into the depths of the forest, and they did not dare to remove their armor themselves, but they removed their saddles for their horses, trying to calm the somewhat restless mounts so that they would not neigh loudly.
Gao Shun paced back and forth a little impatiently, and from time to time swept his eyes over Jia Xu, who was closing his eyes under the big tree.
The sound of footsteps came, Fang Yue and Jiang Huan came side by side, followed by a slightly shy young man, he was the Qiang general Qiang who followed the leader of the three wolves, Ye Lixiong, and was now a captain of the Qiang cavalry battalion.
Fang Yue took off the black helmet on his head, sat on the ground, and said impatiently: "Boss Gao, when do we have to wait?" ”
Jiang Huan also said worriedly: "You can hear the sound of killing from Nanzheng City here, which shows that the battle is fierce. Gao Shuai, if we don't take any action, we are afraid that the situation of the lord is critical! ”
Gao Shun said helplessly: "Hugh wants to ask me, the military advisor didn't give an order, how can I move troops without permission?" ”
The three of them looked at Jia Xu together.
Jia Xu slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't see the three of them, stared at Qiang Tong and said, "Did you just come back from the front?" What's the latest situation, let's talk! ”
Qiang Tong said respectfully: "Yes! The Celestial Army launched three waves of attacks in two hours, all of which were unsuccessful, but they had successfully filled in the moats outside the city. The Admiral believed that in less than a moment, they would be mobilizing about 5,000 men, relying on nineteen large ladders and twenty-seven siege towers, to launch a fierce attack! ”
He thought for a moment and added: "One thing is very strange, it seems that the current defense of the north gate is all my Eagle's Nest soldiers, and there is no trace of the three thousand Han troops in the city!" The last general speculated that there should be something wrong with these Han troops, and it was the lord who ordered them not to participate in the defense of the city, in order to prevent elbows and armpits! ”
Gao Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Jia Xu also smiled and nodded.
Fang Yue and Jiang Huan gasped together and said, "It's amazing!" ”
Qiang Tong was a little puzzled and said: "Two commanders! The last general thought that these enemy forces were not very powerful, and it was observed that the brothers defending the city were only wounded in the first few rounds of onslaught........."
Jiang Huan interrupted: "It's not about the enemy army, it's about you!" ”
He praised: "The meticulous observation and accurate judgment are really impressive!" ”
Qiang Tong understood, couldn't help but blush, lowered his head, and said softly: "Commander Xie, after the last general surrendered, he often asked the lord, Gao Shuai, Jia and Cheng for advice.........
Fang Yue said unceremoniously: "Hey! is a good young man, has the ability and brains, and is still a well-known hero among the Qiang people, but he always likes to blush, and he is a little sissy! ”
Qiang Tong's face turned even redder, and he simply kept silent.
Jiang Huan had no choice but to relieve the siege and said: "I don't know something, if there is an accident in the Han army in the city, how can the lord not tell him with the flying eagle book?" We're guessing here! ”
Gao Shun groaned: "It must be because the two sides are fighting fiercely, if you release the flying eagle, it is very likely to be shot down by the enemy!" ”
Qiang Tong's lips moved, and he swallowed the words back into his stomach.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "General Qiang doesn't have to worry too much, just say it bluntly!" ”
Qiang Tong straightened his chest and said, "Yes!" The last general thinks that the reason why the lord did not release the eagle is because our hiding place is so close to the battlefield that the enemy army is likely to follow the birds flying out of the city to track it here, thus ruining our surprise attack plan! ”
Everyone was stunned.
Jia Xu also showed appreciation, although this son is a Qiang man, he is extremely smart and alert, and he will be a material that can be made in the future, and there will be one more general under the master.
He nodded, "You're doing a great job!" Keep watching! Feel free to report it! ”
Qiang Tong bowed and turned to go.
Gao Shun was shocked and said: "Wenhe, you still let Qiang Tong observe the enemy's situation?" Are you going to continue waiting for fighters? ”
"Fighters?" Jia Xu chewed on the meaning of these two words and exclaimed: "Handsome! Well said! This is what I've been waiting for! ”
Jiang Huan was puzzled: "Military division, the enemy's siege of the city has been frustrated repeatedly, and most of the men and horses are about to be dispatched to organize the siege, and the rear is already empty. It's the best fighter at this time, so why wait? ”
"The best fighter?" Jia Xu smiled slightly mockingly.
He stared at Jiang Huan and said, "If you insist on this idea again, after this battle, you can be demoted from commander to captain!" ”
Jiang Huan was taken aback, and said at a loss: "Please teach me the military teacher!" ”
Gao Shun couldn't help but blush slightly, because his thoughts were no different from Jiang Huan's.
Jia Xu sneered: "That Zhang Xiu has always been cautious, and he will never expose the portal behind him unless he has to, if we launch a surprise attack now, although we will eventually win, we will definitely pay the price!" And this cost can be reduced or even avoided! The key is to seize the fighter! ”
"What is a fighter?" Jia Xu's eyes flashed with admiration, "The lord once gave an example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Cao Di advocated the victory of the army, and in the battle of the long spoon, he took advantage of the favorable opportunity to carry out a counterattack, and took advantage of the enemy's chaos and flag to launch a pursuit, and defeated the powerful Qi army in one fell swoop. ”
Jiang Huan understood a little, and said abruptly: "The last general will be taught, and I will definitely read more military books in the future!" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Deceiving and mobilizing the enemy, creating a favorable combat situation, attacking his unpreparedness, taking him by surprise, and grabbing the greatest victory at the lowest cost is the way to complete victory, you should remember!" ”
Gao Shun also nodded, and finally couldn't help but say: "However, this is equivalent to temporarily carrying all the burden on Brother Nan alone!" He's going to be under a lot of pressure! ”
Jia Xu thought for a while before saying, "You are right!" As a military advisor, I have made the best choice, but as a subordinate, I am really disloyal to put my lord in danger! ”
Gao Shun smiled bitterly: "Wenhe, you also know that I didn't mean that!" ”
A look of guilt appeared on Jia Xu's face, and he shook his head and said, "No! Gao Shuai reminded that everything should be done in the first place of the lord's safety, otherwise if the lord fails, all of us will be sinners! After today, let it be a commandment! ”
Gao Shun smiled and said: "Wenhe, Wenhe, you are getting softer!" The name of the poisoner may not be guaranteed! ”
Jia Xu regained his composure and said calmly: "Even if it's soft-hearted!" However, it is also for tomorrow's business, and today we still have to be ruthless, sit and watch the bloody battle of the lord, and wait for the fighters! ”
"Once most or even all of the enemy forces are pressed, it will be our fighters!" Nan Ying clapped his hands, "Gao Shuai, they will launch a surprise attack from behind with lightning speed, directly destroy Zhang Xiu's empty Chinese army tent, and behead it as quickly as possible!" ”
Gao Tie showed a sudden look: "My subordinates understand!" As soon as Zhang Xiu died, the Heavenly Master Army was defeated, and the dragons were leaderless, at this time, Zhang Lu appeared and raised his arms and shouted, and the remnants of the enemy would fall to the wind! ”
Nanying smiled: "Very good! Now you finally get the idea! ”
Gao Tie sighed: "Sure enough, it's a wonderful plan that is interlocking!" ”
"But!" He couldn't help but say, "We only have less than a thousand people, and we still have to divide our troops to guard against the rebels in the city, dozens of brothers have been injured just now, and the Heavenly Master Army is bound to be more crazy and fierce in the next round of attacks with the cooperation of siege equipment, if Gao Shuai is still waiting for the fighters, the brothers are only afraid that there will inevitably be casualties and ......."
"Bastard!" Nanying turned around suddenly, and a cold light shot out of his eyes that was difficult to look at.
He looked at the high-speed train with his mouth open, and his tone was like ice: "Before the fighter arrives, how can you attack rashly?" We still have a strong city to rely on, but what about our brothers outside the city? They will use their flesh and blood to fight the enemy! Is it true that in your heart, the brothers of the bow and crossbow battalion are human beings, and the brothers of the 2,000 Qiang cavalry battalion outside the city are not human beings? ”
High-speed rail tears gushed out, "bang" fell to the ground, choked up: "High-speed rail knows the mistake!" ”
Nan Ying let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "I rarely reprimand you like this, but one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. As the commander of a battalion, you must have a holistic mindset! Otherwise, it will inevitably kill the brothers in vain in the future! ”
Gao Tie raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said proudly: "Yes!" High-speed rail is teachable! Be sure to keep it in mind in the future! ”
Nan Ying looked at his resolute face, the smile on his lips spread like a circle of ripples, and he punched Gao Tie's chest, and said with a smile: "It is indeed my good brother!" ”
High-speed rail's heart warmed, and his courage doubled: "Please give the order, sir!" How do we fight the enemy next! ”
Nanying smiled and looked out of the city.
He looked at the large group of Heavenly Master troops who were trying to push the siege equipment to rumble and approach, and said softly: "It's very simple! Order the bow battalion and never hide your strength again. Shoot with all your might, hurt them, crush them, force them all to press, and create fighters for Gao Shuai! ”
