Chapter 44: Breaking the City (2)
A day later, Luo'anzhuang, forty miles away from Hechi County, because of the war in recent years and the war that has occurred in the past six months, the lively Luo'anzhuang in the past has long ceased to exist. In the entire Luo Anzhuang, let alone finding a living person, even a creature that can breathe is probably not so easy to find.
And just now, a group of people and horses entered Luo'anzhuang, the first one, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a bright battle armor and riding a black war horse. And the triangular maple badge on his right arm obviously revealed his identity, this person was ordered to lead five thousand elite horsemen, from Pingbu Mountain to Yanchen Creek, day and night to Luo'anzhuang to carry out the ambush mission Yin Bo.
Yin Bo looked at the lifeless Luo Anzhuang in front of him, Le Ma stood in place, shook his head at the deputy general beside him and ordered: "Ji Guangjing, send someone to check!" ”
"Yes! General Yin! The deputy general Ji Guangjing agreed, turned the horse's head, waved behind him, and rushed into Luo'anzhuang with dozens of people.
The reason why I checked it at this time was because Yin Bo led everyone to rush all the way in the direction of Luoanzhuang after coming out of the Tang camp at that time, and it can be said that there was no rest at all along the way.
After all, this is the first time Yin Bo has brought so many soldiers and horses out to fight, and Yin Bo was only a general who led 2,000 people before, but this time it was doubled and brought into 5,000, and they were all elite cavalry!
So Yin Bo secretly said to himself along the way, he must be more courageous, and with so many elite soldiers, he will definitely win the battle. Especially when I thought of the words that Marquis Zhongwu said to himself before leaving.
Yin Bo didn't simply want to be promoted from leading 2,000 people to leading 6,000 people, the important thing was the sentence behind Zhongwu Hou, "At that time, replace the badge on your right arm with a five-cornered maple!" ”
The pentagonal maple badge, perhaps for newcomers, is just a capital to show off or to look down on other people's capital. But for a young general like Yin Bo, that was simply the first step to enter the upper echelons of the Feng Family's army!
Just ask me, which general with troops doesn't want to bring more troops? What general who fights a war doesn't want to be involved in high-level discussions? Since ancient times, what general has not dreamed of going to the battlefield to be a marquis and pay homage to the general?
Of course, the same is true for Yin Bo. In the past few days, whenever Yin Bo thought that after he had defeated Hechi, his subordinates had changed from two thousand to six thousand, and the triangular maple on his right arm had been replaced by a pentagonal maple, Yin Bo would feel that the blood in his body was boiling.
In the past few days, Yin Bo's brain has been in a state of extreme excitement, which is also the reason why he doesn't feel tired at all, so Yin Bo went directly down the road without resting, and rushed to Luo Anzhuang day and night. Thanks to the fact that all the soldiers he brought out this time were elite soldiers, he could still bear this kind of day and night rush, otherwise the team he brought this time would have lost no idea how many people he had lost.
Soon after, there was a sound of horses' hooves, Yin Bo woke up from his contemplation, looked up at the source of the sound, and it turned out to be the deputy general Ji Guangjing returning.
"Report! General Yin, I've checked it, the entire Zhuangzi is abandoned, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time! Ji Guangjing stopped in front of Yin Bo on a horse and opened his mouth to report.
"Oh, that's it!" After listening to this, Yin Bo lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, took out a map from his arms, looked at it in the moonlight, and then raised his head and said: "Luoanzhuang is still three miles away from the road from Hechi to Liangdang, let's rest here tonight!" Early tomorrow morning, according to the original plan, every two brigades (one brigade of two hundred people) will ambush a location! Let's herald! ”
"Yes!" Ji Guangjing agreed neatly, and then turned his horse's head and went to the rear of the troops.
。。。。。。
Early the next morning, in the General's Mansion in Hechi County, General Huang Hua had just had breakfast, and was told by the people below that there was an urgent report from Liangdang City, and the messenger was waiting in the lobby.
Huang Hua himself is over forty years old, born in a peasant, has never read a book of soldiers, let alone fought a few battles, and is as timid as a mouse. But he married the daughter of the granddaughter of Huang Chao's uncle's uncle's family, so after Huang Chao established Daqi, he was named a small marquis, even so, he was considered a relative of the emperor.
And in this battle, the reason why Huang Hua was stationed in Hechi County was because Huang Hua himself was as timid as a mouse, and he was also a relative of the emperor of Daqi. Huang Hua firmly believes that as long as Huang Hua sticks to Hechi City, there is no way to make **, and there are 40,000 horses stationed in Hechi County, no matter how stupid Huang Hua is, it is not so easy to let ** fight.
These circumstances are also one of the important reasons why ** has been stationed for half a year and has not opened a breakthrough, because Huang Hua just doesn't come out to fight, and no one has a problem.
After Huang Hua hurried to the lobby, he saw a messenger standing in the hall, so he hurriedly walked closer, pulled the man's sleeve, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?" Is there something going on in Liangdang City? Was it that Liangdang City was breached? Who sent you? Is it His Royal Highness the King of Qin? ”
Facing Huang Hua's question, the messenger was obviously a little overwhelmed, and for a while, beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, and he hurriedly reached out and pressed Huang Hua's big hand, trying to calm Huang Hua down as much as possible. But after pressing it a few times, he realized that it was in vain.
The messenger slowly pulled out his right hand, wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve, and replied respectfully: "Don't worry about Lord Huang, Liangdangcheng is fine!" It was sent by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin sent me with a handwritten letter. ”
"Is Liangdangcheng okay?" Huang Hua stared at the messenger's eyes, as if he didn't believe what the messenger said.
"Well, although ** has forcibly attacked Liangdang City many times, it has been in vain every time!" The messenger nodded and repeated.
"Oh, what about the letter? Hurry up and show me what His Royal Highness King Qin said! Huang Hua obviously breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the messenger's answer again.
The messenger hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, and after Huang Hua took it, he quickly opened the letter, turned his back and looked at it carefully.
However, after watching for a long time, Huang Hua turned his head and smiled at the messenger twice, and said, "You wait a minute, I'll come when I go!" ”
After finishing speaking, Huang Hua didn't wait for the messenger to speak, and walked out of the lobby quickly. It turned out that Huang Hua, who was born in a poor peasant, had never read since he was a child, and he didn't know a few big characters at all, and he only knew those few people who forced himself to learn after being named a marquis, so he went out at this time to find someone to read the letter.
Soon after, Huang Hua returned to the lobby, and the letter in his hand had long since been thrown away. Huang Hua walked to the top of the hall, waved his hand at the subordinates, and shouted impatiently: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and serve tea to the messenger of His Royal Highness King Qin?!" ”
When he had finished speaking, he waved his hand to the seat below the hall and said to the messenger, "Please be seated, I have already read the letter, and I have sent someone to summon the generals." They will arrive later, and then we will discuss the matter of sending troops to help Liangdang City. ”
"Okay, thank you Huang Hou Ye first! But the small one still has one more mouth, Huang Hou Ye is still as soon as possible, although there is nothing to do for the time being, but the attack of ** is fierce, and it can't be delayed! The messenger bowed his hand respectfully, and reminded him with kindness.
