Chapter 793: A battalion of soldiers and horses came to the rescue

After Mo Yuanqing finished speaking, he looked at Huang Degong, the commander of the Tang Army, expectantly. In the hot weather, the hot sweat on his face flowed down like flowing water.

And Huang Degong, the commander of the Tang Army, listened to Mo Yuanqing's words, and he didn't feel that he fell into deep thought.

Mo Yuanqing's house, although he is bent on preserving his Gaoping territory, so that they can have a last stronghold for the Mo clan to continue to survive. But for Tang Jun, if he can help them keep this high level, it will also be extremely beneficial to Tang Jun's future development.

After all, if the Tang Army enters Gaoping, with the strong strength of the Tang Army, it will undoubtedly be the most important existence in Gaoping. The Tang army should be able to easily control the territory of Annam in the area of Gaoping, and as for the Gaoping Mo clan, there is no doubt that it will become its own subordinate domain.

Then, with the help of Gao Ping and Mo's help, the next step, whether it is only to deal with the attack of the two Zheng coalition forces, or to advance towards Annam with more ambition, it is a matter of course and unhindered.

Therefore, Mo Yuanqing's request, whether it is emotional or reasonable, it is completely necessary for him to agree.

Thinking of this, Huang Degong smiled faintly and replied: "What Mr. Mo said is also reasonable. Moh's loyalty and obedience are even more touching. In this way, since Mo is in trouble now, he will not sit idly by. I will send the soldiers and horses of the second battalion of our army, as well as half of the artillery unit of our Tang army, commanded by Weng Zhiqi, the commander of the second battalion, to immediately go to Gaoping to come to reinforcements. “

When Mo Yuanqing saw that Huang Degong finally agreed to send troops, his face was suddenly full of joy. However, he asked hesitantly: "My lord, your ministry is willing to send soldiers and horses, and I am very happy with my father, but I am secretly thinking about it, but I don't know the general, if my lord only sends a battalion of soldiers and horses and half of the artillery troops to come, will the number of soldiers and horses be insufficient to meet the huge strength of the two Zheng coalition forces......

"Haha, don't worry. The combat strength of our army is comparable to that of the Zheng clan of Annan and the soldiers and horses of Zheng Zhilong, let me tell you, to hold this small Gaoping, it is enough to send a battalion of soldiers and horses and half of the artillery to go. With these soldiers and horses to go, you will be sure to be safe and secure. And when you get to Gaoping, you can ...... like that."

In the words that followed, Huang Degong deliberately lowered his voice, and Mo Yuanqing stepped forward and pricked up his ears to listen to Huang Degong's words.

As soon as Huang Degong finished speaking, Mo Yuanqing immediately burst into a smile of great joy and praised loudly: "What Lord Huang said is very true! But it's a little hearty, it's damn it! Then there will be no more trouble, and I will immediately return to Gaoping with the mission, and together with my father, the king, will welcome the heavenly soldiers at any time. When the time comes, according to Lord Huang's plan, I will give the Zheng family a powerful lesson! ”

Huang Degong nodded, signaling that he could step back. That Mo Yuanqing saw that the big event had been decided, and he didn't stay long, and after a few words of compliment in a row, he hurriedly returned to Gaoping with the mission.

Huang Degong immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of the B Battalion of Weng Zhiqi's Division, which was closest to Gaoping, to immediately stop the conquest of Tusi in eastern Yunnan, take half of the artillery troops of the Ninth Town of the Tang Army, and then drive to Gaoping at full speed to aid Mo's.

As for the A and C battalions, they continued to stay in eastern Yunnan, and under the command of Huang Degong, they conquered the remnants of the local Tusi who did not submit to the rule of the Tang army.

When Weng Zhiqi led his troops to bid farewell to Huang Degong, Huang Degong gave him another secret advice, and told him in detail about the strategy he had previously told Mo Yuanqing.

When Weng Zhiqi heard this, he also praised him repeatedly, laughed and promised, and promised Huang Degong that when he went to Gaoping, he would definitely live up to his mission and ensure that the task was completed.

Next, Weng Zhiqi led his second battalion of soldiers and horses, as well as half of the artillery troops of the ninth town, all the way from Yunnan to Gaoping. In just a few days, they arrived at the boundary of Gaoping, and their soldiers and horses were warmly entertained by Mo Jingyao, the king of Gaoping County.

For the timely reinforcement of the Tang Army, Mo Jingyao and Mo Yuanqing's father and son were very happy, and at the banquet, the father and son took turns to toast to Weng Zhiqi, the chief general of the Tang Army, with a numbing compliment.

After this banquet, Weng Zhiqi and Mo Jingyao, father and son, gathered together again to discuss secretly, and carefully agreed on how to implement Huang Degong's strategy of luring the snake out of the hole in the future.

Three days later, Zheng Hui, the general of the Zheng family, who was mobilizing troops from all over the country and actively preparing for the northern expedition to the Mo clan, suddenly heard that there were Mo soldiers and horses in the north of the Gaoping land boundary, and they seemed to want to cross the Beiliujie River first, and went straight to the important pass north of the Zheng clan, Beimangcheng.

Zheng Hui immediately reported the information to Shenglong City, and Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family who got the news, was also very surprised.

What's going on?

The Mo clan is exhausted, the soldiers and horses are sparse, and it is still difficult to protect themselves, how can they have the courage and dare to come to challenge the powerful Zheng clan, are they not sober-minded, or are they going to kill themselves?

Zheng Zheng suddenly thought of something, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Could it be that it is because the Mo family has strong support that it is so public, so that he wants to come and provoke trouble?

And the powerful foreign aid that the Mo clan can find now is naturally none other than the Tang Army. If the Tang Army really came to the aid of the Mo family, it would undoubtedly give the Mo family a shot of chicken blood, which made them so rampant.

Zheng Zheng immediately ordered Zheng Hui, the general of the front line, to carefully observe the movements of the attacking Mo army, and if it was found that there were Tang soldiers and horses mixed with it, then do not act lightly, and be sure to wait until the reinforcements in Thang Long City arrived, and then meet the enemy together.

Zheng Hui received the order of the head of the family, Zheng Zheng, and immediately sent a sentry to quietly cross the Beiliujie River to closely observe the movements of those Mo's soldiers and horses.

However, they quickly discovered that these Mo's soldiers and horses were similar to the past, they were still scattered, unorganized, demoralized, and inactive, and their number of troops was only a few thousand people. And among them, there is no banner and soldiers of the Tang Army at all.

The sentry cavalry then returned to Beimangcheng and reported the strength and movements of the Mo army to the general Zheng Hui in detail.

Zheng Hui, who heard the report, was also confused, what the hell is the Mo family, morale is low, the army has no fighting spirit, and there is no foreign aid, but they still dare to come to pick strong neighbors, are they really crazy?

At this time, Zheng Hua, the deputy general in the city, proposed to Zheng Hui: "General, since the Mo clan came to die, why can't our army fulfill them?" Please give the order of the general, let his subordinates lead a group of soldiers and horses, cross the Beiliujie River, and destroy these bastards who don't know whether they are alive or dead in one fell swoop! ”

Zheng Hua's proposal made Zheng Hui very excited. It's just that in his heart, he is still very vigilant and has been silent.

It is unreasonable to use the weak to pick the strong.

In the end, Zheng Hui just ordered the sentry cavalry to continue to observe the movements of the Mo army on the other side of the riverbank, and the whole army was guarding the pass and was dangerous, and it was absolutely impossible to move lightly.

In the next few days, the sentry cavalry all came to report that the strength of the Mo army on the other side of the river bank seemed to be gradually increasing, from more than 1,000 to thousands.

Hearing the report from the sentry horseman, Zheng Hui was shocked.

However, he still did not dare to make a decision, and immediately reported the situation on the front line to Thang Long City in a timely manner.

At the same time, Zheng Hui requested in a secret letter to the imperial court that in view of the strange actions of the Mo army now, and the fear of abnormal changes, let Zheng Zhilong's troops and horses come to Beimangcheng as soon as possible before the future, so that they can respond to all movements without moving, so that the Mo army has no chance to take advantage of it.

After listening to Zheng Hui's report and request, Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family, thought twice and decided to agree with his opinion. Therefore, his son Zheng Jie took 20,000 elite soldiers and set off urgently from Thang Long City, all the way north to aid Beimangcheng.

It's just that 20,000 soldiers and horses are dispatched, and the amount of grain and grass consumed every day is a considerable amount, and it is not a long-term plan to be stationed on the northern border for a long time, so Zheng Hui gave his son Zheng Ji an order to temporarily station in Beimang, and when Zheng Zhilong's reinforcements arrived, he immediately crossed the boundary river with the whole army, attacked the Mo army with all his might, and took Gaoping City, his old nest.

Zheng Jie's order was ordered, and he led the troops to the outside of Beimangcheng, but this Beimangcheng is only a remote border city, the city is very narrow, and it is not easy to accommodate Zheng Hui's 3,000 soldiers, how can it accommodate many soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Zheng Jie's 20,000 reinforcements and horses had to temporarily camp outside the city, and their life was quite inconvenient, and it was far from comparable to the life in Thang Long City that day. Such living conditions made all the reinforcements very irritable and helpless.

Especially Zheng Jie, as the son of the world, is restless in his heart, which is difficult to describe in words.

When he saw that the Mo army on the other side of the river, which was like a Huazi army, dared to come to the river to provoke, and those embarrassing scolding were faintly heard on the other bank, which made the anger of the Zheng soldiers and horses on the other bank even more difficult to suppress.

Grandma's, what a fucking wild ghost deception!

The Mo clan is already dying, but he still dares to send troops to provoke provocations, he really deceives me No one in the Zheng army!

Zheng Jie's blood surged, and then he called Zheng Hui, the chief general of Beimangcheng, and Zheng Hua, the deputy general, together, and loudly told them that they would immediately send troops to cross the river and attack the Mo army on the opposite bank.

Zheng Jie's move, Zheng Hua, who was holding back his anger, fully agreed, but Zheng Hui, who was the chief general of Beimang City, frowned and refused to respond.

Zheng Jie saw that he looked like he was old and didn't say anything, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious. He frowned and said loudly: "General Zheng, now the Mo army is on the other side, and its number of soldiers and equipment level cannot be compared with my Zheng army. Why are you still so silent, so careful, but why? ”

Zheng Hui was forced to ask by this prince, and his face showed an embarrassed look, and he hurriedly replied: "Prince, Wan is a cowardly minister, but didn't the head of the family say that now Zheng Zhilong's reinforcements have not yet arrived, our army must not move lightly, it is only advisable to garrison in place, wait for his soldiers and horses to arrive, and then cross the river to attack." The head of the family ordered such an order, and the old minister also asked the prince to stick to it together, and never act without authorization. ”

"Humph! The more you live, the more timid you become, and the older you get, the more useless you become! Zheng Jian sneered: "You didn't expect that if even these thousands of beggar-like Mo troops provoked on the other side of the riverbank, our army would not dare to deal with it, and could only wait until Zheng Zhilong's troops arrived before acting. Thinking that the reinforcements and defenders of our army combined, there are more than 7 times the enemy army on the opposite side, such a magnificent army of soldiers and horses, Hugh said that just to destroy the thousands of Mo troops on the other side of the river, even if they attack directly under the city of Gaoping, there is no fear! How can you only dare to retreat to the south of the boundary river like now, and dare not cross the river to attack, won't it make the people of the world laugh at shame! ”

Zheng Hui's face was red and white: "Shizi, don't be so anxious." The soldiers and horses of the Zheng family are estimated to be coming from the sea at this time, and they have converged in Beimangcheng, which is more than ten days of effort. With such a little time, why can't wait? Please also ask the prince to be calm and wait for Zheng Zhilong's reinforcements ......"

"Shut up!" Zheng Jian snorted coldly and interrupted Zheng Hui's words sharply: "You are so cowardly and useless, my father asked me to bring 20,000 reinforcements here, but you still don't dare to attack, and you are determined to wait for the arrival of Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses before you dare to use troops." It's really more timid than a rabbit, if this son is as useless as you, don't say that he is at war with the enemy, he will die of shame a long time ago! Or, since you are so useless, just stay honestly in this Beimang City, and I will leave you another 10,000 reinforcements, so that you will not be frightened here. Zheng Hua and I are going to break the enemy! ”

Zheng Hui could no longer stop him, so he could only let Zheng Ji and Zheng Hua, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, cross the northern boundary river and go straight to the Mo army that looked defenseless.

Sure enough, as Zheng Jie expected, although the Mo army had been shouting and scolding on the bank of the river, as soon as they saw the main force of the Zheng army attacking and preparing to cross the river in formation, they were suddenly frightened and screamed, and the whole army spread their feet and fled quickly, and when Zheng Jie and others all crossed the river, those Mo troops had already fled without a trace, and there was no longer half a figure.

Zheng Jie's heart was very happy, and he was about to order the whole army to pursue, but he heard the sound of clanging gold suddenly from behind.

At this moment, Zheng Jie's heart was furious.

"it! Zheng Hui is useless! It will only drag our army back, and Lao Tzu will not listen to him! Zheng Jie's face was furious.

"Shizi, General Zheng Mingjin, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of hardships, anyway, now that the Mo army has retreated, let's return as soon as possible." Zheng Hua persuaded bitterly on the side.

"Phew! Our army crossed the river this time, laboring hard, but it was a non-commissioned officer of Mo, and he never captured it, so he retreated and returned like this, isn't it a joke! He Zheng Hui is afraid of death and is incompetent, but this son does not want to be like him! Zheng Jie's face was hideous, and he said sharply: "The whole army listens to the order!" Continue to attack with me, and don't let the Mo army escape back to the camp! ”

"No! The son of the world must not be impulsive! Seeing that Zheng Jie insisted on marching in pursuit, Zheng Hua was also anxious, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Zheng Jie's mount: "Son! The enemy situation ahead is unknown, and General Zheng's worries are also reasonable. Please lead the prince to go back immediately, otherwise, General Zheng will be the head of the family, and I am afraid that he will also punish the prince. ”

"Humph! Zheng Hui will only complain to his father. You don't persuade again, and watch me lead the army to defeat the Mo army, and then lead the troops back, look at that Zheng Hui, and I am not ashamed! Zheng Jie pulled away Zheng Hua's strong hand, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed out of the formation first.
