Chapter 1519: Volunteering
Lin Hu sighed and asked in a deep voice: "The last general knows that this time the plan is to completely annihilate the opponent and trap the Jurchens in the urn in the mountain col to catch turtles. However, someone needed to wait for the Jurchen army to enter the col and go around between the hills behind them to block the exit of the official road. I wonder who you've decided to send? ”
Gao Muqing tilted his head and looked at Lin Hu and said, "Why are you asking this?" I have my own arrangements. ”
Lin Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Dazhai, I want to get this errand to block the back road of the Jurchens." ”
Gao Muqing was stunned for a moment, looked Lin Hu up and down a few times, shook his head and said, "No, the task of intercepting the Jurchens is extremely dangerous and extremely important. Whether or not the entire combat objective can be accomplished depends on whether they can be blocked in the mountain col. I need someone who is brave and experienced and adaptable. Xiaohu, it's not that I don't trust you, you are still inexperienced and can't take on this role. I already have a candidate, you can be by my side to help me guard the pass. ”
Lin Hu's face turned red, and he was deeply stung by Gao Muqing's words. The implication of Gao Muqing's words is that he, Lin Hu, is not capable of taking on this role. Because in Gao Muqing's eyes, he is not a brave and fearless person. In other words, he Lin Hu was nothing in Gao Muqing's eyes. Being a pioneer officer and fighting beside the main general is actually a disapproval of his own ability. He, the vanguard officer, is not even as good as Gao Songlin and Li Muzhu of the left and right armies, and they can take charge on their own.
"I knew you all looked down on me. I, Lin Hu, have been by Uncle Lin Jue's side for many years, so you all look at me differently, and you have never looked at my relationship with Uncle Lin Jue, but you don't look at my ability. Uncle is the same, and you are the same. When I went out to fight in the mountains, my uncle didn't take me, saying that my wife was going to give birth, so I was asked to stay and take care of it. Luoyan Valley is fighting desperately, but do I Lin Hu need special care? For so many years, I didn't want people to treat me as someone close to my uncle, but in the end, you still treated me like that. Is my Lin Hu really useless? For so many years, I have read and written, listened to my uncle's words, studied military books hard, strengthened my body and learned martial arts, just to be able to be independent, not to embarrass my uncle and not to embarrass the Lin family. But won't you even give me a chance? Lin Hu spoke, his mood became more and more excited, and finally he almost cried out aggrieved.
Green Dance and Lin Hu have the best relationship, Lin Hu followed Lin Jue when he was a teenager, and he also got along with Green Dance day and night. Although they are inferior in generation, Green Dance treats Lin Hu as if he were his own brother. Seeing Lin Hu so aggrieved, Green Dance felt uncomfortable.
"Xiaohu, you don't want to be like this. No one looks down on you, don't you talk to Sister Mu Qing like this? She is the chief general in the army, and she has her own arrangements. Xiaohu, no one thinks you can't make it, in my heart, you are the best. When you were very young, you followed us to endure hardships and stand hard work, and did a lot of things. Your Uncle Lin Jue praised you behind your back. You're grown up now, but you still need to be trained, don't you? Who hasn't been slowly trained? You're only twenty-one years old, what are you anxious about? Lu Wu stepped forward and took Lin Hu's arm and comforted softly.
Lin Hu's tears swirled in his eyes, but he finally held back. Once he cried in front of Lin Jue and was scolded by Lin Jue. He is a dignified man, a man bleeds without tears, he cannot shed tears.
"At twenty-one years old, I haven't done anything to make myself proud, to make
Something that others approve of. Uncle is already a senior official in the imperial court at my age, and he is already the head of the Lin family. I may be such a piece of shit, and I haven't achieved anything so far. I wanted to prove myself, and no one believed me. That's it, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. This war is very important, I shouldn't make such a request to the lord of Dazhai, I can't do it. Lord of the village, you punish me. Lin Hu said in a deep voice.
All the women looked at Lin Hu silently, they were all Lin Hu's elders, although they were not a few years older, but since they met Lin Jue, they knew the young man named Lin Hu who followed Lin Jue. In a few years, the little boy has grown into an adult and become a parent. Of course, everyone was very happy, but they never thought that this little boy's heart was also eager to make contributions and be recognized. The people around Lin Jue have a feeling, that is, under the light of Lin Jue, the people around him are overshadowed, and they are all protected characters. No one would pay attention to the idea that a little boy also had the heart of imitation in his heart, and he didn't want to be under Lin Jue's wing forever. Especially when Lin Jue did have some selfish protection for Lin Hu. When Lin Hu said these words today, the women were both surprised and a little embarrassed.
Gao Muqing pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiaohu, do you really want to ask for this errand?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Hu nodded firmly and said, "Of course, otherwise how could I bring it up." ”
Gao Muqing said: "Do you just want to prove your ability, or do you think you are sure to complete this important task?" ”
Lin Hu thought for a while and said honestly: "I have both ideas, but I think I can do it." I will definitely do it, even if I die on the battlefield. ”
Gao Muqing said solemnly: "This is not just talk, and this is not child's play. The heart of swearing to die is not remarkable, but dying in battle and not being able to complete the task of intercepting the enemy is also a failure. I want to block the enemy's retreat, not to die in vain. ”
Lin Hu nodded and said, "I know, I just said that I will swear to complete the important task and express my determination." I'm not going to die easily. Uncle once said that those who die are valuable, and those who give up their lives casually are stupid. I'm not a stupid person. ”
Gao Muqing nodded and said, "Okay, then tell me, what do you think about blocking the enemy's rear road?" Do you know how dangerous it can be? ”
Lin Hu nodded and said, "Of course I thought about it. Because of the limited number of our soldiers and horses, the position of the front pass and the slopes on both sides are the focus of defense, and they must not be broken by the opponent from the front. Therefore, only a small number of soldiers and horses can be divided to go around the rear to block the enemy's rear road. Perhaps only one or two thousand people can do this. And once the Jurchens wanted to retreat and escape, they could only block the enemy's way with one or two thousand men to meet the opponent's attack. The soldiers and horses at the front pass could not be mobilized at will, and that would give the Jurchens an opportunity. So, it must be a very difficult situation. ”
Gao Muqing said slowly: "Yes, you are not wrong at all. There can only be more than 1,000 people who go around to block the Jurchens' retreat. First, because of the pressure of the front pass, I didn't have too many soldiers and horses to give him. Second, it is also because the number of people who go around behind enemy lines cannot be large, and if there are too many soldiers and horses, their tracks will be exposed, and they will be noticed. And in the end, they can't rescue them, they can only rely on themselves. In all likelihood, all of them will die. ”
Green Dance said busily when she heard this
"Xiaohu, let's not ask for this errand, let the owner of Dazhai send the right person." You follow us and protect us. ”
Lin Hu shook his head and said softly: "Sister Green Dance, Xiaohu has grown up, Xiaohu can't be under the protection of you and your uncle forever." Well, I'll always be a wreck. ”
Midori Dance opened her mouth, speechless.
Gao Muqing said coldly: "Then tell me, how do you want to intercept it?" I know to be improvised, you just have to tell me some of your thoughts. For example, where to block. How to block, how to deal with the opponent's attack, etc., just talk about it. ”
Lin Hu nodded, walked to the table, moved a few tea cups on the table, and said, "This is the pass of Fangcheng Mountain, this is the circling official road." There are mountains on the left and near. I think these two places are suitable for blocking. But this is where it fits perfectly. This is a detour of the official road, with a hillside on one side and a steep downward slope on the other, and the terrain is excellent. Because it is a curve and a ramp, the Jurchen cavalry can only slow down here, because if the speed is too fast, it is possible to fall down the ramp with people and horses. As soon as they slow down, they will become ordinary infantry, and the men and horses will inevitably be crowded here so that we can ambush them. ”
Gao Muqing looked at the terrain, and compared the terrain of the hills and official roads in front of her in her mind, she knew that there was indeed such a terrain. Unexpectedly, Lin Hu already had a heart, and he had done some homework early.
"The terrain is fantastic, but ...... A thousand of you, even if you fire all the power and kill some of them, how can you stop them from passing? Gao Muqing asked in a deep voice.
Lin Hu said: "There are many ways. You can use melons to blow up the mud and rocks on the hillside, block the mountain road, and isolate the Jurchen soldiers and horses. There are many other ways. In short, I have followed my uncle for so many years, but I have not followed it in vain, I can adapt to it at will, and I will use whatever method suits. Now I am asked to list them all, but I can't say them all. ”
Lin Hu only said the method of blowing up the mud and rocks on the hillside with melon grenades, and Gao Muqing was already quite approving. She was most afraid that Lin Hu would say something like fighting the enemy on the mountain road, and that would be a brainless move. Obviously, Lin Hu is not a reckless man, he seems to have really done a lot of thinking and coping.
"What if...... What about the mountains? What do you do? After they are intercepted, they are likely to attack the mountains and besiege you first. How do you cope? Gao Muqing said.
Lin Hu laughed and said, "Isn't that the result we hope for the most?" They will abandon their horses and attack the mountains, and even if they all escape, it will be a group of cavalry without mounts, which is more useless than infantry. If they dare to do this, won't they be exactly what we want? We're not afraid of the infantry, so we'll just chase them out and fight them. As for whether I live or die at that time, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that they will be defeated. ”
When Gao Muqing heard this, he reached out and patted the table, and said crisply: "Okay, good boy, it really impresses me." That being the case, I entrust you with this important task. I hope you don't live up to my trust. I hope you will be able to complete your mission and come back alive. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your Uncle Lin Jue. I'm also under a lot of pressure. Do you understand? ”
Lin Hu was overjoyed, knelt down on one knee and saluted repeatedly, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Lord Dazhai, Lin Hu will definitely complete his important task and will be alive." Thank you, Dazhai master, thank you...... Auntie. ”
