Chapter 177: The King is in the middle of the ambush
Uncle Zhang couldn't cry or laugh at night.
The commander-in-chief of the bandit soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou, Jeju, Dongchang, Dongping, Yizhou, and Puzhou, can he really be the master?
When His Majesty came, he sent the eunuch Wang Gonggong as the supervising army, holding the secret decree of the Son of Heaven, to participate in and supervise the suppression of bandits, so that it ended perfectly. Of course, this is a trick played by Liang Shicheng, these incomplete men often play this kind of trick to cover up, in order to calm the unhappiness caused by extreme distortion in their hearts.
The rest of the powerful ministers have sent people one after another, in the name of supporting the think tank. Cai Jing sent a roe head rat Zhang Ganban, Gao Yu sent a high-eyed Wu Yuhou and Gao Tangzhou defeated Xue Yuanhui, which is a think tank, it is clearly a rice bucket! It will also get in the way and be restrained everywhere.
Before the war began, the sword that shared the exploits of the war was sacrificed, these vampire reincarnated rats!
Tong Guan is a little for the sake of the country, he sent the general Wang Yu to lead 3,000 Western troops to help the war, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Wang Yu to listen to Uncle Zhang's orders and not act privately. However, if the bandits are successful, Tong Guan's cake will also be the largest among the ministers.
Soon after the arrival of a group of people from the capital to Jeju, Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, Ji Yueshan, the prefect of Yizhou, Hao Yu, the prefect of Puzhou, Dang Ruichen, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, and Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, gathered in Jeju to discuss the dispatch of troops. In the end, it was decided that in addition to Jeju, each state would send 5,000 elite troops, led by General Xiao Yong, to arrive in Jeju seven days later at the latest, and encircle Yangsanbo.
With the emperor's secret decree and the stern tone of the newly promoted superintendent prince, the states were very busy, and they dispatched troops one after another, not daring to be careless, after all, they also had a share of credit after the victory.
Jeju's actions could not be concealed from the spies secretly sent to various states by Yangsanpo, and the news was delivered to Yangsanbo through various channels. Song Jiang immediately convened a meeting, and the flying pigeon passed on Shi Jin and Wen Huanzhang of Erlong Mountain, and Yan Shun and Zhu Wu of Qingfeng Mountain to discuss countermeasures.
With many fires and strong wisdom, they gathered the strength of all the people to discuss a set of strategies that were effective for this encirclement and suppression: isolate Qingzhou, harass the state capital participating in the encirclement and suppression, disrupt Zhang Shuye's deployment, and seek an opportunity to destroy the enemy.
The specific operational deployment is: the Qingfengsan troops feinted to attack Cheongju, so that they had no time to send troops to Jeju; The Erlongshan troops were maneuvering, or aiding, harassing, or setting up ambushes, in short, seeking opportunities to destroy the enemy, and not allowing the officers and men to have the slightest ease; Liangshanbo's troops met the enemy head-on, and the navy patrolled and defended along the waterway, taking advantage of the speed and agility of the cavalry, and all went out to harass Dongping and Dongchang, disrupting the enemy in the movement and looking for fighters.
Seven days later, Dongping Mansion's soldiers and horses were supervised by Dong Ping, who led 5,000 elite soldiers to arrive first, and after a while, Dongchang Mansion's fierce general Zhang Qing led the troops to arrive, the two were old acquaintances, and they inevitably asked for warmth after meeting. Subsequently, the Yizhou soldiers and horses commanded Yinglong, and Fu Shuolin, the supervisor of the Puzhou soldiers and horses, led the troops.
All of a sudden, the military flags in Jeju City were flying, the war horses were neighing, the guns were like forests, the knives were like hemp, and the murderous atmosphere was pervasive.
Left and right waited for the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and the prince of the supervising army was furious, scolding Murong Yanda for daring to delay the fighter by virtue of his relationship with the concubine. The army had arrived, and it was impossible to wait for them in Jeju, so the prince immediately called a meeting to suppress the bandits.
The prince conveyed the holy will in front of the generals, and then he relied on the emperor's favor and made a big statement of brawn, and it took a long time for Zhang Shuye, the commander-in-chief of the bandit command, to speak.
Zhang Shuye and the generals were indignant, even if the imperial court used literature to control the military, it would not be the turn of an incomplete man to point fingers here, and let out bullshit for a long time, which was useless at all. Ran dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, the eunuch is now a popular person in front of the emperor, and there are two old eunuchs Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan to support him.
Uncle Zhang first proposed to requisition ships and advance by land and water, so that the thieves could not be prevented. The prince immediately denied it, on the grounds that the requisitioning of ships cost the people and money, and many soldiers were not good at water warfare, and there were so many heavenly soldiers that they were afraid of thieves.
Uncle Zhang also proposed that each crossing send troops to besiege it, and after a few months, the thieves would have no food and would be in chaos, and the village could be easily broken down at that time. The prince was displeased when he heard this, according to what you said, wait until the Year of the Monkey to destroy the thief, and we must fight quickly to show our ability to supervise the army, veto!
Then without waiting for Uncle Zhang to talk about the strategy, he waved his big hand and said: "Gather the army, work together for land warfare, prepare today, fight tomorrow, and all the soldiers will bravely kill the enemy and eliminate trouble for the country." Tomorrow, our family will personally supervise the army, and those who slack off and retreat will not be spared! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
The double guns will Dong Ping's temper is upright, known as Dong Yibang, who is not used to seeing Tong Guan's dog-legged prefect Cheng Wanli's actions on weekdays, and today he is already full of resentment when he sees the prince commanding like a blind donkey. Seeing the prince go out, he slapped the table and said: "Even if the land battle is won, the thieves and turtles will shrink into the village, let us ride horses across the water?" ”
All the generals commented that the prince's strategy was inappropriate, and such an arrangement was not the way to go. Dong Ping saw that everyone said so, and said angrily: "It can be seen that there are no eggs, and there are few brains!" ”
One sentence annoyed the general Wang Yu, he is Tong Guan's favorite general, how can he endure such insults, got up and scolded: "What a stinky fart!" You dare to insult Qin Cha even a little soldier and horse eunuch, and you are tired of it! ”
Dong Ping eats soft and not hard, how can he lose face in front of everyone, and said angrily: "You are just a lackey, you have an official position in the Western Army, what ability do you have to lead the army, dare to fight with me?" "97 Chinese
Wang Yu was even more frustrated, and the two of them were tense, and they were about to make a move. Uncle Zhang scolded: "Shut up!" If you have the ability to show it on the battlefield tomorrow, don't affect the morale of the army here! Let's all go and prepare, and we will fight tomorrow! Whoever engages in infighting again will be guilty of military law! ”
Soon after the boycott, Zhang Shuye received an urgent official letter from Qingzhou, Qingfeng Mountain Bandits attacked Qingzhou, and Hua Rong, the chief of soldiers and horses, led his troops to defend the city. Cheongju was too busy to take care of himself, so he could not send troops for the time being, and he would send troops to Jeju after retreating from the enemy.
Uncle Zhang was shocked when he saw it, Qingfeng Mountain was Song Jiang's former lair, it was obvious that Song Jiang had discovered Jeju's actions, he was stumbling on Qingzhou and not letting him help, this guy was fast. The thieves have acted, and how can we remain indifferent, so the meeting that has just been dispersed is urgently convened.
The prince was surprisingly quiet at this meeting, he didn't say a word, and listened to everyone's suggestions. It's not that he is a corporal of Lixian, but that he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and it is an unexpected emergency, so he can only listen to everyone's opinions. In the end, Uncle Zhang issued an order at night, and Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, quickly quelled the rebellion, and sent troops to join the bandit army within three days, and the rest of the plan remained unchanged, attacking Liangshanbo tomorrow.
On the second day, the army of bandits rushed to Liangshanbo with murderous spirit, and did not see Song Jiang send people to resist along the way. Walking to a forest, I saw Lin Chong riding a nightlight jade lion presented by Song Jiang, waiting with a majestic gun, next to his lady Hu Sanniang, who also stood on horseback with a double knife.
Hu Sanniang's daughter has just passed the age of the year, she can't bear the life of being a wife, and has asked to go into battle to kill the enemy several times, today Lin Chong finally couldn't resist his wife, and the husband and wife came to meet the enemy. Hu Sanniang bid farewell to her girlhood, and the charm of the young woman made Hu Sanniang more radiant, and Lin Chong stood on horseback, like a god and a fairy couple.
Uncle Zhang immediately ordered the army to stop, and when he saw the two of them, he dared to stop the entire army, and there would be ambushes behind him. At this time, Lin Chong urged the horse forward and said: "The Jeju soldiers are coming over, and I, Lin Chong, will let him come and go!" ”
As soon as the prince heard that it was Lin Chong, he said in a unique tone of eunuchs: "Lin Chong, you are also an official of the imperial court, and you are willing to fall, today the heavenly soldiers have stopped, and you will not get off your horse and surrender!" ”
Lin Chong laughed and said: "Gao Yu bullied people and harmed my family, how can I let him slaughter him." Even if Gao Yu comes today, I will poke him seventy or eighty transparent holes, you are an incomplete man and you are still ashamed to speak here, believe it or not, I will let you have something less with one shot! ”
Wang Gonggong really caught Lin Chong's way, and with a word, he was angry and angry, his eyes widened angrily, and his disgusting voice was raised to the point of madness, pointing at Lin Chong and scolding: "You anti-thief, you dare to insult this prison army, whoever goes to take down this thief will be counted as his first merit!" ”
"Father-in-law is annoyed, watch me take this thief!"
Xue Yuanhui came to kill Lin Chong with a knife and a horse. The two fought together with one shot and two knives, and in less than three rounds, when the two horses were wrong, Lin Chong stabbed Xue Yuanhui to death with one shot.
Seeing this, the prince said: "One is not helpful, a few more people, today swear to break this thief's body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
In the formation, Wang Yu and Dong Ping both rode out, and Lin Chong and his wife turned their heads and beat their horses and retreated. The prince ordered the army to pursue, but Uncle Zhang hurriedly stopped him at night: "Father-in-law must not underestimate the enemy, there must be thieves ambushing in front!" ”
The prince didn't know the soldiers, but he was angry, and he only saw two people in his eyes, so he didn't care if he ambushed the soldiers. Now that he heard Uncle Zhang stop him, he scolded angrily: "They are all like you who are afraid of cowardice, greedy for life and afraid of death, and hesitate to move forward, wouldn't you miss Your Majesty's plan to suppress bandits!" If you don't promise to move forward, our family will definitely write to Your Majesty to cure you for the crime of delaying the fighter! ”
Uncle Zhang had no choice but to order the pursuit. In order to prove that he did not rise by nepotism, and in order to be angry with Dong Ping, the general Wang Yu led the Western Army to rush forward first.
Wang Yu chased for a while, and when he saw that Lin Chong and his wife did not run, but turned around and waited for the army, he muttered to himself in his heart, and ordered the chasing soldiers to stop. I saw Lin rushing to the sky and raising his gun and said, "Collect the net!" Immediately, arrows all over the mountains and fields were shot at the Northwest Army, and when Wang Yu saw the ambush, he hurriedly ordered the rear team to change into the front team and retreat.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, who wants to wait for the arrows, what the front team and the back team are, turn around and run.
Lin Chong saw that the enemy army was in chaos and ordered an attack, and the ambush soldiers picked up swords and guns and rushed out. At this moment, the defeated soldiers trampled on their horses, killed and wounded countless people, and scattered the pursuers behind. At the same time, the officers and soldiers behind did not know how many thieves were killed, so they turned around and ran, and the coalition army was already full of soldiers.
Wang Yu ran at the front when he pursued, and when he retreated, he went to the rear, and unfortunately he was hit by an arrow in the leg, and tried to fight and try to escape.
Hu Sanniang had already seen this exploit and entangled Wang Yu to fight. One is looking for an opportunity to escape, and the other is determined to win, so you can imagine the scene of them fighting together. The two fought a few times, and Wang Yu ran away. Hu Sanniang took advantage of his inattention, took out the red brocade lasso, and threw it into the air, Wang Yu was caught off guard, was dragged off the horse, and in the morning several soldiers tied him up.
Uncle Zhang collected the defeated army at night, and saw that Wang Yu was the only one among the generals, and then a sergeant said that Wang Yu was captured alive by a female general, thinking that he would lose the general sent by Tong Guan in the first battle, how to fight this battle. When the prince saw that he was really ambushed, he stopped saying nothing and waited for Uncle Zhang to preside over the situation at night. Uncle Zhang was afraid that he would be ambushed again, so he ordered to camp on the spot to find out the enemy's situation and fight again.
