Chapter 539: Death and Life (7)
"General Zhang, you, this is ......"
Lu Hui Bayan was talking energetically, and suddenly saw that Zhang Chen's face was wrong, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and he really couldn't understand what he said wrong, which would make Zhang Chen look like this.
"It's okay, come on, hurry, go and invite the young patriarch to come!"
Zhang Chen's mood was very anxious, and he really didn't want to talk to Lu Hui Bayan, so he hurriedly broke off his throat, and his own guards outside the tent promised to go, and after a short time, he had already led Lu Hui Bayan's grandson into the tent.
"See, see the great, the great, the general, I, I ......"
The grandson of the old patriarch was originally pestering the ** officers and soldiers outside, and Leng Buding was summoned into the big tent, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and his small body trembled so much, that is, even a simple salute was out of shape.
"The young patriarch doesn't have to be polite, there will be some information to verify, and the young patriarch is asked to tell the truth."
Zhang Chen was anxious, but he was afraid of frightening the young man, so he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, squeeze out a smile, and say as kindly as possible.
"Ah, I, I'm ......"
The little guy didn't learn Chinese well, and under this nervousness, he immediately became a little stammer, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, so he was so red that he had to turn his eyes for help to his grandfather.
"General Zhang asked you something, and it was very good to say anything, don't worry, grandpa is here."
Although Luhui Bayan didn't understand what Zhang Chen was anxious about, when he saw that he didn't want to be joking, he also kept an eye on it, and instead of using Chinese, he instructed his grandson in his own local dialect.
"Oh, got it."
As soon as he heard his grandfather explain this, the young man steadied himself and nodded in agreement.
"General Zhang, this grandson of the old man is stubborn, he doesn't learn it well, he has been studying Chinese literature for a few years, and he hasn't learned it all, if General Zhang doesn't mind, it's okay for the old man to translate it?"
Lu Hui Bayan was afraid that his little grandson's nonsense would anger Zhang Chen, and after a turn of thought, he immediately accompanied a smiling face and proposed euphemistically.
"Okay, please ask the old patriarch to ask on his behalf, how did the young patriarch find the Tubo army, how many people and horses are there, and where are they going? Do you know who the leading generals are? ”
Zhang Chen didn't be polite any more, nodded thoughtfully, and threw out a series of questions in one breath.
"General Zhang, please wait a moment." Although Lu Hui Bayan didn't know much about military strategy, when he heard these questions, he also knew that the military situation was probably changing, so he didn't dare to slack off.
"What's wrong? But have you figured it out? ”
Poor Zhang Chenkong was in a hurry, but he couldn't understand the Luhui language, so he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, and finally waited until Luhui Bayan turned his head, and didn't wait for him to speak, and asked anxiously.
"General Zhang, this matter is indeed a little strange, according to the old decay of the inferior grandson, those troops are indeed going to the Buha River, the specific number is not easy to say, but I know a lot, neither the head nor the tail, it is dark, the inferior grandson does not dare to get too close, I really don't know who led the army, but I heard the sound of heavy armor rubbing endlessly, I think this team should be the Tubo elite soldiers."
Lu Hui Bayan rubbed his hands a few times guiltily, and explained with a slightly red face, all of which were speculations such as probable and probable.
"How did the young patriarch find out about this army?"
Although Zhang Chen was not very satisfied with such an ambiguous answer, he couldn't blame the young man for not being careful, so he could only ask with a forced smile.
"This ......, hehe, it is also an accident, the inferior grandson is very active, in order to chase a scattered calf, ran out of the pasture of my tribe, all the way to the west for dozens of miles, happened to meet this army passing by, the inferior grandson did not dare to get too close, took advantage of the dark, turned around and returned to the tribe, did have mentioned this matter to the old man, the old man did not care, but I don't know that the general is so concerned, otherwise, the old man must let people go to investigate in detail."
Lu Hui Bayan is an old man in the world, how could he not know that this army that was rushing at night was afraid that it would affect the changes in the battle situation, and he was frustrated in his heart, but he had no choice but to explain a few words with a smile.
"That's it, it's useless to say these things now, old patriarch, without further ado, I will repair a book immediately, please ask the old patriarch to rush back to the patriarch immediately, and send this letter to His Highness's army as soon as possible, remember, remember!"
Although Lu Hui Bayan's several explanations were very vague, Zhang Chen had already made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't explain much, but after a long sigh, regardless of Lu Hui Bayan's expression, he turned around and walked in front of an extremely simple hand, tore off a large piece of cloth from his battle robe, bit his finger, and hurriedly wrote several lines of big characters on the cloth with his blood fingers, and then handed the cloth to Lu Hui Bayan's hands.
"Okay, take care general, let's arrange it."
Seeing Zhang Chen's expression so solemn, Lu Hui Bayan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly agreed to the promise, did not stay long, and led his grandson to leave in a hurry.
"Alas, hopefully it's still too late!"
Lu Hui Bayan's ancestors and grandsons have gone, but Zhang Chen has not relaxed at all, looking at the sky in the north worriedly, muttering in his mouth, and the color behind him suddenly sank, raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "The whole army is assembled!" ”
As soon as Zhang Chen's order was given, the ** soldiers who were originally busy killing sheep and cooking immediately panicked......
There are two flowers, one branch each, not to mention how Zhang Chen is bothered in the rubber mountain, but it is said that on the mountainside of Luoyingling, Lu Sansheng saw the carpenter work of the Tubo army under the mountain, and his heart tightened, just because he had already seen the calculation of the Tubo army - the effective range of the ** needle attack is very long, a full 350 steps away, and the penetration is also very strong, but it is almost impossible to penetrate the wooden shield covered with several layers of cowhide. How could Lu Sansheng not be in a hurry.
"Report!"
Lu Sansheng was in a hurry, he didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't care about what to say, turned around, rushed back to the regimental headquarters at the second stone wall again, and shouted loudly outside the big tent.
"Huh? In! ”
The previous battle was fought very smoothly, Xiao Sanlang and Liu Ziming and others were in a good mood, chatting and laughing in the big tent, and Lu Sansheng, who had just left, turned back when he saw it, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, in the end, Xiao Sanlang reacted quickly, only said lightly, and called in.
"Report to the brigade commander, the thieves under the mountain are rushing to make wooden shields, and it seems that they are still planning to cover the shield with cowhides, and it is very difficult for our troops to defend it, please ask the brigade commander to approve the use of rolling mines."
Lu Sansheng walked into the tent in a few big steps, saluted with a standard upright, and reported loudly.
"Oh? If there is such a thing, go, take a look! ”
Xiao Sanlang has been running the First Brigade of the Army for a long time, and he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the army's current preparations, and he was really a little surprised when he heard that the Tubo Army had found a way to deal with the needle gun so quickly, but he did not bring it to his face, nor did he make a decision on Lu Sansheng's request, he just clapped his hands and stood up, waved his hand quietly, and then strode out of the tent.
"Brigade commander, the thief army is not slow, if it suddenly attacks the mountain, my department may be tight, please ask the brigade commander to make it clear!"
A group of people surrounded Xiao and Liu Erjiang to the stone wall, and when they looked down, they immediately took in the situation at the foot of the mountain, but whether it was Xiao Sanlang or Liu Ziming, they were not in a hurry to say anything, which made Lu Sansheng anxious, seeing that the dozens of wooden shields of the Tubo army had been made out of the prototype, Lu Sansheng really couldn't hold it back, and his face was full of anxiety and asked for instructions.
"Forty for you, save some money!"
Xiao Sanlang silently pondered for a while, and then gave a promise extremely stingily - not that Xiao Sanlang was reluctant, it was really difficult to transport logistics, although the Hexi side had mobilized nearly 10,000 people to transport supplies for the first brigade, but the road was difficult, and the supplies that could be sent up every day were really pitiful.
"Ah......h
The pioneer battalion is an army within the army, and the supplies have always been very sufficient, Lu Sansheng, as the battalion commander, is used to being lavish, and he thought that he could make more than 100 rolling thunders even if this application was not good, but when he heard that Xiao Sanlang only gave forty, he was a little dumbfounded.
"What's the matter? Then subtract another ten. ”
Lu Sansheng is a soldier brought out by Xiao Sanlang, and he knows his temperament well, and when he saw his face, he knew what this kid was thinking, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he said quietly.
"Ah, no, forty is forty, humiliation!"
Lu Sanzhu originally wanted to make some hidden bars for use in the fierce battle later, but when he heard Xiao Sanlang say this, how dare he hold on again, so he hurriedly responded, and rushed to the baggage camp at the top of the mountain.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
The Tubo army is bent on wanting to be ashamed, the action is very fast, under the concerted efforts of all the people, it is only more than half an hour of kung fu before and after, nearly 30 huge shields have been rushed out, in a terrible horn sound, nearly 3,000 Tubo foot soldiers carry wooden shields, shouting and shouting, under the command of Kulun Jianji, they launched an attack on the mountainside again, but this time the Tubo army did not blindly rush, but the five giant shields slowly pushed forward in a row, although the speed was not fast, but the pressure on the officers and soldiers of the pioneer battalion increased sharply.
Except for the first and second companies, which were still lined up in two columns, the officers and soldiers of the first company were all hiding behind the stone wall, each holding a fire rope and other objects, nervously waiting for the order to land three victories......
