Chapter 0253: Leap over
Na Tanhun, who changed his name to Liu Xu, can no longer see the appearance of the male Jia at all, after three years of continuation, his hair has grown a lot, and he wears a bun on his head like a Han man, but the big hooked nose on his face is still so obvious, he can be seen from afar, and he wants to have a flag on his face so attention-grabbing.
He ran towards a village with three thousand men, moving fast, the soldiers trotting all the way, and the only sound in the ranks was the sound of neat footsteps and the clatter of armor.
Each general has his own mental outlook, and no matter which unit Natanhun leads, he can make the troops uniform, which is actually a kind of ability. He must have done a lot of behind-the-scenes work to get these superficial changes.
"General, in the middle of the night, is it appropriate for us to go to someone's village?"
"In front of the knife, nothing is inappropriate. If we don't go, Tang Yuan will also go, and when he finds out here, we can only eat the soil. ”
He actually guessed Tang Yuan's plan, and as soon as Tang Yuan's troops broke through the defense line of Rolling Horse Ridge, he immediately followed. His line of action was exactly the same as Tang Yuan's, almost stepping on the footprints of Tang Yuan's troops. When climbing the mountain, because he didn't have to worry about an ambush, he first asked a group of soldiers to go up with a rope on their backs, then dragged the rope ladder to the top of the mountain with a rope, tied it to a tree, and finally used a large basket to pull the war horse up.
In fact, this mountain man can climb up, but the war horse can't climb up no matter what.
It turned out that the enemy garrison was 100 people, and if you held on to this place and didn't pay a price of ten to one, it would be really difficult to take it down.
Before he left the army, he had greeted Zhang Yunlong, the commander of the rear army, Zhang Yunlong has always disliked conformism, and Natanhun only has 3,000 people, which is not much, if it succeeds, it will get miraculous results.
Zhang Yunlong said to Natanhun, you kid behave well and make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor in the future, which is also good for you men, and you will also become a role model for men. Natanhun said yes again and again. After telling Zhang Yunlong, Natanhun still had to tell Cao Sheng, but Cao Sheng told him that this kind of thing only needs to be notified in the future, and there is no need to ask for my opinion, you still listen to Zhang Yunlong for specific actions.
Cao Sheng's work always makes people feel a little confused, but one thing is clear, he is very tactful. In his place, whoever can pass will definitely pass, and he will smile at everyone, and he will never be on a show. You must know that in this team, the highest status is Cao Sheng, but in front of Zhang Yunlong, they are old friends, and they can't see any relationship between superiors and subordinates at all.
And they both belong to the Xuanjia Army sequence.
But everyone also felt strange, why did the Queen Mother send Zhang Yunlong out this time?
Everyone said that the Queen Mother was wary of Zhang Yunlong, and while he was already old, just take him down, why use him, and this time to conquer Hanzhong, it can be said that there are many famous generals, and there is no need to bring this old pawn at all.
Faced with such a question, Cao Sheng's answer was the most pointed, he said: The Queen Mother is taking care of the emperor's emotions. Everyone knows that Zhang Yunlong is loyal to the emperor, and the behavior of the queen mother is a display of attitude, so that His Majesty the emperor can also find a sense of accomplishment in this expedition.
"Tang Yuan's speed is very fast, let's go faster." Natanhun urged the deputy general to personally lead the team to run forward, trying not to meet Tang Yuan on the road.
In the middle of the night, if we were treated as enemies, wouldn't it be troublesome, and a rain of arrows from afar would have been too unjustly dead.
Why did Tang Yuan come back?
It turned out that after Tang Yuan passed through Rolling Horse Ridge, it was not smooth to sneak attack Mingshui at night, because his troops were discovered by the enemy as soon as they came to the main road.
The enemy army quickly assembled, and it turned out that a group of reinforcements supporting Fengzhou were passing through here, which was simply unfortunate.
As soon as the battle broke out, Tang Yuan's troops suddenly broke over, and the enemy army was a little flustered, so Tang Yuan took advantage of it, and after eliminating more than 2,000 enemy troops, the enemy army hid in the small city of Mingshui.
If he attacked the city, Tang Yuan was very passive, because he didn't bring siege equipment with him on this march, he was completely counting on a sneak attack, but now he found that the legendary Mingshui Town was much higher than he imagined. It seems that the enemy army has already strengthened the nearby city wall, and the battle has been going on for a month and a half.
Tang Yuan suddenly ordered to withdraw to the mountains and fight guerrillas.
As a result, as soon as Tang Yuan withdrew his troops, he was seen by Natanhun, who immediately looked at the terrain and felt that a nearby village was very suitable for defensive battles, so he directly led his troops to break through.
In order to prevent friendly forces from harming each other, Natanhun sent a small team to block the road.
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and sent a scout to inquire who this troop was, and soon after the scout ran back and told Tang Yuan that it was Liu Xu of the Xuanjia Army.
"Liu Xu?" Tang Yuan wondered.
"It's Natanhun." Tang Hu said.
"Oh, that's the old boy." Tang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The good talents selected by the Queen Mother will soon emerge. I predict that after going back this time, this old boy will be promoted very quickly. ”
"What do you want to say?" Tang Hu said.
Tang Yuan said: "Don't fight with him, but cooperate." Tang Yuan asked Chen Bao and Tang Hu to station the troops in Sanli, and Tang Yuan brought a few cronies to the village.
Natanhun did not ransack the village, and he got along well with the local people, and he invited the pavilion chief to drink.
Seeing Tang Yuan coming, Na Tan Hun was very polite and invited to drink together, Tang Yuan just took two sips politely, and said to Na Tan Hun: "Old brother is really relieved, let's raid here, you don't worry about the enemy counterattack, but drink here." ”
Natanhun smiled, "I predict that the enemy army will definitely not come tonight. ”
"Why do you say that?" Tang Yuan asked with a smile.
Natanhun said: "The enemy general Guan Xiong has always been cautious in using troops, especially after fighting a hedging battle with you, he thought that the troops of the Liang Dynasty were all fighting in that style, so now he is fighting step by step." And he rarely led troops to kill in person. The two of us suddenly circled behind him, and now he must be panicking, he will shrink his defense and wait for the night to see how the two of us move. At this time, the news must have reached Liangzhou and Lizhou, and the grain transportation between the two places would also stop. We don't have any food to grab, so tonight, we have to drink to relieve our boredom. ”
Tang Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, since you are so determined, brother, I won't stop you, I'm not as generous as you, I'm going to take the soldiers to hide in the mountains, and then the two of us will have a response." ”
Natanhun said, "That's for sure. ”
The two saluted each other and said goodbye, and Tang Yuan ran back to the mountain.
