Chapter 61: Sleepless Nights
The people wrapped the hooves of the horses, took off the bells under the horses' necks, the per capita black clothes, blended with the night, and the neat queue was only a hundred people, but everyone was tall and big, and they were all elite soldiers in the army.
Drinking a bowl of spirits, strengthening their courage, they are about to break into the enemy camp of tens of thousands of people, saying that they are not afraid, it is all empty words, but if they dare to go, it proves that they are fearless warriors.
Xiang Qing stood at the front of the team, slowly pulled on his face towel to cover his face, and the person standing next to him was Zhang Huan, the general of the Huns.
"Zhang Zhonglang, I handed over the whole army to you, I hope you don't let me down."
He took out the talisman and handed it to Zhang Huan, who knelt on one knee and took it with both hands, which represented Xiang Qing's trust in him.
Hundreds of people broke into the enemy camp at night, if there was no response, then they would definitely die without a place to be buried, the Han army tiger talisman was handed over to Zhang Huan, that is, Xiang Qing had entrusted his life to him, this trust made Zhang Huan excited.
"The general can rest assured, but if there is an accident, I Zhang Ranming risked my life to save the general!"
Xiang Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's not to save me, it's to save them." Xiang Qing pointed to the hundred brave warriors and continued: "They are all heroes and heroes who are loyal and courageous, and if time comes, they will be the pillars of my Han army, and they are the ones who are worthy of your life to protect, I Xiang Junhe is not afraid of life and death, I am also afraid of death, but what is the use of being afraid?" If Lord Yama wants to accept my Xiang Junhe's life, then he also has to ask me if the Thundering Sword in my hand agrees! ”
These words are true, without those high-minded talks that quote scriptures, Xiang Qing is not an elegant person, because of his ordinary, so the soldiers feel that they have a heart, and they feel that Xiang Qing, the general, is closer, and it also inspires their brave hearts.
"I give you my favorite words, only eight words, loyal liver and courage, brave and brave!"
Loyalty, courage, courage and soul, this is Xiang Qing's favorite line heard in a TV series in later generations, in the TV series, there is also a team like them, with a passionate and passionate army, he decided to learn from these eight words, which can be passed on as the military soul of the Han army.
"Loyal to the liver and courage, brave and brave!"
"Loyal to the liver and courage, brave and brave!"
……
I couldn't hear the high-pitched voices of the soldiers, and everyone roared in their calmest voices, but such a sound wave shook everyone's heart.
No one knew that this army, which was only a hundred men, had become a nightmare for the enemy in the years that followed, and even in his sleep, when he heard the name of this army, he would be awakened, and no one would dare to be an enemy of it.
Xiang Qing said goodbye to Zhang Huan, in that army, there were Liu Hu and the personal soldiers from Cao Fu, and the others were also carefully selected from the thousands of troops, each with a hundred refining knives in his hand, and a strong crossbow tied around his waist, which was the equipment from the shooting battalion of the Imperial Forest Army, small and portable, but infinitely powerful, the only drawback was that it could not be fired continuously, The war horses of the whole army were left to their choice, and their equipment and combat effectiveness were absolutely the best in the whole army.
And in the rebel camp and the Chinese army's tent, Yan Zhong did not sleep.
Lighting a candle, by the faint light, Yan Zhong was still reviewing some military affairs, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was also yellow, and he looked tired, this man had a boxy face, his hair was also loose, and he was wearing a robe, concentrating on his eyes.
The soldiers opened the curtain and came in with a basin of hot water, seeing that Yan Zhong was still reviewing military affairs, he didn't dare to disturb with his attentive appearance, he carefully put down the basin of water, and was ready to go out, but he didn't want to be stopped by Yan Zhong.
"Wait, didn't you receive a letter from Geng Cong today?"
The soldier saluted and replied: "General, today's letter came a little late, and it is late at night, so it is better for the general to read it tomorrow, I really don't want to see the general so tired." ”
The soldier was not very old, he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was not tall, and his armor looked a little bigger, and he wore it loosely on his body.
Yan Zhong raised his head, frowned and said, "Such important information, why don't you just send it to me, get it quickly!" ”
The soldier took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Yan Zhong, Yan Zhong quickly read it, and there was nothing wrong with the content of the letter, but Yan Zhong still felt that some things were not so appropriate.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly entered the tent, blowing out the lights, and the tent was suddenly pitch black.
Yan Zhong's eyes were not good, and he didn't touch the flint for a long time, so he shouted: "Little bean, light the lamp." ”
The pro-soldier Xiaodouzi was young, his eyes were good, he touched the flint, and listened to the flint and steel making two crisp sounds, and the tent lit up again, Yan Zhong read carefully according to the light, and before he could see half of it, another gust of wind blew, and the lights were extinguished again.
Yan Zhong sighed: "Seeing that autumn is coming, if we can't take Yunwu yet, we will have to withdraw our troops, such a great opportunity, I didn't expect to be stopped by a young man in his early twenties, alas." ”
Xiaodouzi lit the oil lamp and said: "I haven't read, but the general gave me a bite to eat, my life is the general's, the general wants to take Yunwu City, and I also want to follow them to attack the city, why doesn't the general let me go?" ”
"Hahahaha, can you use a knife? You can't hold up this armor, and you have to go to the battlefield, so let's talk about it when you grow up. Yan Zhong laughed and said, "Do you know that on the battlefield, it is going to die!" It's not that you used to fight with those splashes, and you can still stand up after being beaten down, and the knife is slashed on your body, you will really die, and you will never get up! ”
Xiaodouzi stubbornly puffed up his chest, but his thin body still couldn't support the armor, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I don't care, the general said that you rebelled to save the poor people in the world, and I want to fight for the general, take Yunwu City, and rescue the poor people in Yunwu City!" ”
Yan Zhong looked at Xiaodouzi's stubborn face and laughed unconsciously, but this smile carried three points of sigh, three points of helplessness, three points of desolation and one point of relief.
"The world says that I am a traitor who commits rebellion, oh, to save the poor of the world? I don't believe it, do you believe it? ”
"I believe it! Why don't you believe it! I fled all the way to Liangzhou, it was the general who took me in and gave me food, the general killed a lot of bullies, as well as those big officials who bullied the people, you are the best person in the world, I will follow you in this life and help you fight the world! ”
The child's world is so simple, but it is not simple, right and wrong in this world, grievances and grievances, who can really distinguish between right and wrong, sometimes, growing up is not necessarily a good thing, when you see the world clearly, maybe you will want to go back to that childlike and innocent age.
The patrol of the rebel camp is also very orderly, Yan Zhong is not a wasted person, he is also an old fritter who has been in the army for many years, these arrangements are more skilled than Xiang Qing, but the more neat the method, the more obvious the flaws.
What everyone knows, naturally the most studied, on the contrary, everyone doesn't know what you know, naturally no one knows how to crack it, as the so-called: soldiers, sophistry. This is just one of Xiang Qing's own explanations.
In the darkness of the camp, there are more than a dozen masked black-clothed men, the leader is promised, this place is the stable of the rebel camp, the war horses with high fighting spirit during the day have fallen asleep at night, and even the horsemen watching the horses are sleepy, and the upper eyelids and lower eyelids are fighting.
Yun Cheng also led his subordinates to find the place where the rebels stacked the grain and grass, the rebels wantonly collected money in Liangzhou to collect grain, whether you are a famous family or a high-ranking official, when you encounter the rebels' grain collection team, you must obediently open the granary, as long as you resist, it is a dead end.
Although such a move allowed the rebels not to worry about food and grass supplies, the rebels' rule in Liangzhou was also shaky and completely rootless.
The reason why the information given to the imperial court shows that the rebels burned and looted in Liangzhou, and the people are struggling to make a living, is also because these pieces of information are handed over by those famous families, although the rebels cannot be said to be innocent of the people, but they can also be called benevolent.
The rebels guarded the grain and grass very strictly, and Xiang Qing didn't plan to pose any threat to the grain and grass with a dozen people with Yun Cheng, as long as he could set fire to harass him and create an opportunity for Xiang Qing.
Xiang Qing and Liu Hu sneaked outside the accounts of the Chinese army, according to the elite level of this army, these rebels were a little worse in the quality of individual soldiers after all, but they didn't find out.
It's reasonable to think about it, this rebel army was pulled up by Yan Zhong, and most of them are just former rangers and some village warriors, who have not received regular army training, although they are brave in battle, but in terms of discipline and vigilance, they are still more than a step worse than the regular army.
Liu Hu took half of the dead soldiers, slowly counted the sentry agents around the rebel camp, and fought silently, these elite soldiers, holding crossbows in their hands, took turns to fire volleys, killing those spies on horseback, if they were lying on the ground, in the drowsiness, they had already been touched by the steel knife on the neck.
Seeing that things were almost done, Liu Hu immediately sent out a signal, and Xiang Qing and others in the rebel camp saw the fire on the mountain not far away and immediately took action.
Yan Zhong, who was chatting with Xiaodouzi in the tent, did not realize that the danger was quietly approaching.
Suddenly, a noisy shout sounded in the rebel camp, one after another, endlessly, and the entire rebel camp, several places appeared in unison, lit from left to right.
A pro-soldier rushed in in a hurry, and Yan Zhong hurriedly asked, "What's the alarm?" ”
"General! Walk the water! A lot of places are out of water! ”
The residual heat of summer is still there, and it is when the heat has not disappeared, and the fire is getting worse and worse, and there is no way to control it.
Yan Zhong hurriedly shouted, "What are you still doing!" Hurry up! Little Bean, go and see if there's anything wrong with the grain and grass camp! ”
As soon as Xiaodouzi walked out of the tent, he saw a horseman rushing in, and he hurriedly shouted: "General! Oh no! Someone set fire to the stable, and the horses were all shocked and couldn't pull them back! ”
"Rubbish! What do you want! With my own soldiers, you must control the war horse! ”
Yan Zhong called for the chief of the guard and went out with the groom, Yan Zhong paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, took off the sword from the shelf on the side, and was about to go out to see the situation, but he seemed to suddenly think of something.
He sat back at the table, picked up the letter of "Geng Contempt", looked at it, and was so angry that he smashed the table with one palm.
A long sword was already on Yan Zhong's neck.
"You can see the flaws, you're still quite smart."
