Chapter 324: Zhang Qing's Choice
Erlongshan, since the defeat of the official army and the escape, Lin Chong first ordered to clean up the seriously wounded and the seriously injured prisoners of the official army.
Then, he asked Yang Zhi to take people to clean up the battlefield, after all, these Hu Yanzhuo's men and horses, the equipment is not ordinarily good.
Especially those war horses, although Lin Chong got a lot of carbon steel armor from Dong Ping, but for war horses, this is lacking in the entire environment of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Lin Chong asked people to collect, and he got a report that night, and a total of more than 2,000 war horses of various types were captured.
After being silent for a moment, Lin Chong just smiled in his heart.
Nowadays, the cavalry of the imperial court is basically in the Western Army, and the war horses in the mainland can be said to be very few.
And Hu Yanzhuo's 5,000 ironclad elites are basically half-crippled after this battle.
Hehe, in the future, it seems that he can also deal with the Jin people, Lin Chong looked at those tall and sturdy war horses, although his face did not change, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
No one knew better than Lin Chong how powerful the cavalry was.
At that time, when the grass had just fallen on Eryongsan, Lin Chong still clearly remembered that Uncle Zhang of Jeju dispatched a thousand heavy cavalry at night.
Erlongshan was high-spirited, and the four leaders went into battle together, but they were defeated under the offensive of the official army and suffered heavy losses.
At the most difficult time, most of the whole mountain was knocked down, and Lin Chong even took people to hide in the cave, ready to fight to the end.
In the end, it was Uncle Zhang who was afraid that the rear would be attacked by other hills, so he decided to withdraw the army, and Lin Chong had a chance to breathe.
After so many years, Lin Chong probably also analyzed the essence of the role of cavalry in the battle array.
Like this heavy cavalry, their greater role is to divide the battlefield, as well as act as a meat shield.
In that battle, Erlongshan shot all the bows and arrows, and they couldn't hurt the heavy cavalry in their front row at all, Lin Chong and Wu Song killed all sides, but those heavy cavalry had no choice.
The material of their armor is not only indestructible, but also can absorb and alleviate the impact, Lu Zhishen's hundred-pound heavy Zen staff hit it, and it can't break their encirclement for a while.
If it is placed in normal times, Lu Zhishen alone can destroy this thousand ordinary cavalry!
At that time, the moment Lu Zhishen Lin Chong and the four of them were stopped, the pikemen behind the heavy cavalry were living with four-meter-long terrifying weapons, plus the rain of arrows in the sky, and the light cavalry on both wings copied and detoured.
In just a moment, under a wave of impact, hundreds of people were killed in Erlong Mountain.
They all fell under the iron hooves of these steel behemoths.
The total number of officers and soldiers was only 3,000, and they severely damaged the 5,000-strong Erlongshan battle.
And now......
Lin Chong's thoughts returned to reality, he saw these excellent horses and a full set of equipment, and after suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he also sighed for the luck of today's battle.
Today, I see that I am about to lose, thanks to the timely arrival of reinforcements, otherwise Hu Yanzhuo's ironclad serial army will be launched with all its might, I am afraid that the tragedy of the year will repeat the mistakes of the past!
Thinking of the true identity of the person who came to reinforce him, Lin Chong just smiled and shook his head.
Remembering that Lu Zhishen's weapon was directly interrupted on the battlefield during the day, he sighed, it's time to persuade Brother Luda to change his Zen staff, the hundred-pound Zen staff he built later is easy to use, but the quality is not as good as the sixty-two pounds he built when he was a monk before!
However, Lin Chong obviously underestimated the loyalty and willpower of these people.
The wounded were too serious to be evacuated, and more than 300 of the more than 1,000 people who had been captured and intercepted by the Erlongshan army took advantage of the victory to commit suicide on the spot.
That night, more than 50 more people committed suicide.
Lin Chong was drinking when he heard the news, he frowned, and immediately decided to settle the matter.
As soon as he arrived at the cell, he saw some people yelling.
"Lord Lin Zhai, you're here!"
Several pro-soldiers stepped forward and arched their hands and said: "These people are arrogant, listen, they think they are in their own territory, we think it is better to kill these people, a hundred ......"
"A group of thieves, if you have a kind of kill grandpa!"
"Come on, Lao Tzu will be a good man again after eighteen years!"
"Haha, even if I die, I won't surrender to you grass cowards!"
As soon as the pro-soldiers finished speaking, the voices of these officers and soldiers surrendered sounded.
"A group of bastards, dare to kill our Adjutant General Lin, that ...... Miscellaneous...... What a general!" The soldiers felt too embarrassed, but usually that Xu Xuan was brutal and deducted the minions' silver, they were so ruthless that they couldn't even call their names for a while.
The captives were about to scold again, but Lin Chong directly ordered them to be released, and opened their prisons with his own hands.
"What do you mean?" A tall young man at the head of one of the prisoners of war said in a low voice, but everyone refused to leave as much as he did.
"It's not interesting." Lin Chong said lightly: "Since you are not willing to work with us, I, Lin Chong, will never force it."
After speaking, he just waved his hand and shouted: "Give each of them a tael of silver as a passage fee!"
"Stop!" Several officers and soldiers led by them shouted loudly: "Lin Chong, who wants your money, what is the purpose of you letting the tiger return to the mountain!"
"Hehe, my opponent is only Hu Yanzhuo, as for you, you are all in your heart, and I don't want to bother to talk too much, that's all."
With this voice, Lin Chong's figure had disappeared here in the blink of an eye.
"Take the money, get out of here!"
Several of the soldiers glared at those people and said in a fierce tone.
The men just snorted coldly, did nothing, kicked over the tray of silver, and went down the hill separately.
"Lin Chong, remember, I owe you a favor this time, Lao Tzu will take his brothers to find his own way, this time I will not be your enemy, next time we meet, we are still enemies!"
Leaving this sentence, the leading officer and soldier did not look back to the ground, and went down the mountain.
Lin Chong stood on the highest part of the back mountain with his hands behind his back, and everything that happened after he left was in full view of him.
Hehe, I hope you can find a good home, don't come to kill each other with us, and be a big hero who protects the country and the people.
After laughing, Lin Chong stepped on the way to the banquet.
It turned out that Dong Ping had already informed the brothers of the famous generals from all over the world that this district was a famous general of the Western Army in later generations and the boss of Wu Jie, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, but was later framed to death by the villain, which is sad and sad.
Therefore, Lin Chong naturally had to give him this face.
It didn't take long for the banquet to begin.
Lin Chong looked at "Xuanzan" and Zhang Qing and the others opposite, but he just laughed and said, "What, two, now you have figured it out?"
Zhang Qing took a sip of a glass of wine before he smiled awkwardly: "Brother Lin said it was funny, I really didn't expect that Brother Dong Ping actually had such skills, and he could make people look like another person."
Xuanzan smiled and said, "Your Highness, he is really powerful, I can't even see this mask myself, and Hu Yanzhuo can't see it, hehe, the ability of this technology is really powerful." ”
"Okay, if you don't say it, I won't even recognize you as Brother Shibao." Lin Chong smiled and took a glass of wine and drank it all.
Shi Bao smiled and took off the hood mask, and those minions were amazed when they saw that this proclamation turned out to be Shi Bao.
"Now, Chao Tianwang and Xu Ning brothers are leading people to block Guan Sheng's people, and they should have been let go now." Lin Chong's expression changed, and his tone gradually sank: "Then, he has been blocked by us for so long, and even the carrier pigeons have been beaten down by us, and the next ......"
"It depends on how this divisive plan will ferment?" Zhang Qing frowned.
"Yes, these two people didn't know each other in the first place, and now Dong Ping's plan can be said to be right in the middle." Lin Chong glanced around at the people nearby, and said in a low tone: "Brother Zhang Qing, it's you, what do you think now?"
"Yes, now that it's over, why don't you act with Brother Dong Ping?" Wu Song said calmly on the side.
Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen also persuaded: "Brother, don't hesitate, hurry up and decide!"
For a while, Zhang Qing also fell into deep thought, he put down the wine bottle in his hand, and held his head with his right hand to look at the moonlight outside the house in a daze.
Lin Chong and Yang Zhi still wanted to persuade again, Zhang Qingyi waved his hand and said: "I understand the kindness of my brothers, and I don't want to work hard for this corrupt court for a long time, but my wife and young son are all in Runing, and now Hu Yanzhuo's army is defeated and if he is caught, the court will know about it once he ......knows about it."
"If they make a mistake, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Zhang Qing shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
Lin Chong said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm afraid you don't know, Dong Ping has already laid an ambush in Runing a few years ago, specifically to protect the safety of your family."
"Really?"
Zhang Qing stood up suddenly, trembling with excitement and said, "When did this happen?"
"Just three years ago, when your younger siblings were pregnant, your family moved to Runing." Lin Chong said with a smile: "Now Dong Ping is also called Xu An and Hu Cheng to lead the team, and there are hundreds of top masters protecting their younger siblings, brother, you can rest assured."
Zhang Qing was moved, clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply, looking at Lin Chong in front of him, and then thinking that his brother had been secretly taking care of and protecting him, Zhang Qingzhijue burst into tears.
No matter how much I say, I can't say it at the moment.
It turns out that no matter where I am or what position I stand, you treat me as a brother.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Qing still said: "My brother and you have shown me a lot of kindness, and I can't guarantee it in the next life, but when this battle is over, I will come and talk to my brother about this matter in person."
Lin Chong also laughed and said: "Okay, good, today is a happy day, everyone come to celebrate, drink, drink!"
Everyone laughed, the whole cottage feast for three days, the sound of wine glasses staggered throughout the mountain, everyone ate and drank, so happy.
Within a few days, Du Bai and Shangguan Yi rushed to Erlong Mountain with 10,000 horses, and everyone discussed for a while, so Lin Chong commanded and gathered more than 30,000 troops, which were piled up in Erlong Mountain, just waiting for Dong Ping's order.
At this time, Hu Yanzhuo, who was originally vigilant, found that Guan Sheng's men and horses had no intention of fighting, and Guan Sheng kept saying that he was ambushed by Dong Ping, and he was trapped in the valley by heavy troops and could not come to reinforce him Hu Yanzhuo.
As for the "Xuanzan", Guan Sheng and Xuanzan themselves vigorously denied it.
Xuanzan jumped up even more angrily, but fell into the mountain stream on the side, and the concussion brought the consequences of fatigue and no energy.
So, this guy could only lie on a stretcher and let the two of them carry him.
Hu Yanzhuo asked again, "Why don't you send a messenger?"
Guan Sheng said angrily: "You don't suspect me of fornicating with thieves, I will never accept this humiliation, you can go wherever you want, I will go to find Taishi Cai, gather people and horses to fight to the death with Dong Ping!"
So, Guan Sheng took 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters and marched all the way to Gaotang.
Hu Yanzhuo was also angry, but he was afraid of Dong Ping's tricks, so he also brought people and urged the whole army to go with Guan Sheng.
However, the two lost the map, and wandered through the forest for three days, but still did not turn out.
At the same time, fifty miles outside Gaotang City, Cai Jing's army was in the military tent.
"Ceasefire!"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Cai Jing frowned, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the gunner to stop the bombardment of Chai Jin's soldiers and horses outside Gaotang City.
Because, he found that on the battlefield where these two armies were fighting, a person appeared out of thin air.
That's right, it's a person!
Braving artillery fire, he walked alone through the ranks of the officers and soldiers!
Cai Jing hadn't reacted yet, and in the next moment, he had already seen an even more amazing scene.
"You ......"
His eyes trembled violently, almost trembling all over, and Cai Jing only felt that his soul had been lost.
The young man who appeared in front of him and crossed this hundred-meter distance in an instant just now.
This mask-wearing, ordinary-looking young man.
In him, Cai Jing felt a domineering murderous aura and a strong sense of weirdness.
At this time, Cai Jing was terrified.
Finally, the young man spoke.
"Next, Hebei Dong Shuang, in order to get rid of Dong Ping, I don't know if Your Excellency is willing to join forces with me?"
The corners of his mouth had a strange smile.
