Chapter Ninety-Four: Leading the Race

"Second Brother Cheng, the war is going so smoothly, it seems to Yigu that we should do our best to take these two mountains as soon as possible. " Zhu Yiluan was proud, the war went smoothly beyond his expectations, and it seems that the weakness of Guangdong's soldiers and horses is not a rumor.

Previously, Cheng Jingye insisted on leaving nearly half of the men as a reserve for the sake of safety, but Zhu Yiluan said that he could only do what he wanted if he was not convinced. But this is also a good thing, everything is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

But now there is a war report from Guishan, the defending Guangdong soldiers and horses are retreating, and they will not be able to resist it, and at this time Shaoshi Mountain is crumbling, and the army may attack the mountain at any time, at this time, you don't have to do your best, but when?

Cheng Jingye is also a little uncomfortable, this group of rice buckets, he really overestimated them. "The little prince has a high opinion, and he will take these two mountains in one go, and the army will take Shaozhou City just around the corner!"

Zhu Yiluan nodded happily, "Okay, the sun sets today, we must take these two mountains, and we will enter Shaozhou City early tomorrow morning!" Tell the whole army to win Guangdong lonely and reward! ”

The little prince has an arrangement, and the opponent is so weak, how can the rebel generals fight without losing their efforts? One by one, like monkeys beaten with chicken blood, they jumped up and down and rushed up the mountain.

"My lord, the general trend has gone, for the sake of the brothers being fathers and mothers, let's withdraw!" The defensive lines laid out were taken by the rebels one after another, and Ludenda was anxious, and his generals were even more afraid to death.

Looking at the rebels who had already occupied half of the mountainside, Lu Dengda couldn't help but sigh at the sky, it seemed that the plan to hold on until the sun set and then retreat to Shaozhou could not be implemented.

"Well, tell the brethren that let me arrange the retreat, and don't mess with yourself." Lu Dengda commanded with a frown. Although he has an idea in his heart, Lu Dengda is also worried, it is easier said than done, and it is not an easy thing to withdraw troops from the battle.

arranged for a while, but there was still a mess. It is said that the sergeants who were still trembling and resisting heard that Shangfeng was ready to retreat, and their hearts immediately became steady. Death on the battlefield at this juncture, that's a vain death!

Therefore, without waiting for Lu Dengda to give the order to retreat, the soldiers at the front began to retreat one after another, regardless of the generals' obstruction!

"Bastard!" Looking at this scene, Lu Dengda couldn't help but scold angrily, pulled out the blade on his waist and shouted: "Pass on the general's order, and those who do not listen to the general's order and retreat without authorization will be engaged in military law!" ”

The order was passed on, but there was no need to look at the effect, and Lu Dengda knew in his heart that it was basically useless. Not daring to delay, he turned his head and gave another order.

"Immediately send an order to the five thousand men and horses behind the mountain, immediately arrange to prepare to deal with the rebels, and the general will arrive later! In addition, tell the people of Guishan that if they can't stand it, they will withdraw. Saying that, Lu Dengda closed his eyes weakly, and just withdrew, he was really a little unwilling.

That night, Shen Chongming, who was in Incheon, finally had a move, according to the latest news, the rebels had already fought with the garrisons stationed on the front line of Shaoshishan and Guishan, and they had invested nearly half of their troops at the beginning.

And overnight, he can lead an army of 30,000 to the vicinity of Shaoshi Mountain, and when he attacks the rebels in the early morning of tomorrow morning, he will be able to make them chaotic!

"My lord, didn't the scout say that the rebels had attacked halfway up the mountain, I don't know if Lord Lu can hold out until the rebels stop attacking." Chen Qingping said with some concern.

Shen Chongming smiled and said, "Don't worry, our plan has already been told to him, even if he tries his best, he will resist it." ”

"But my lord, the person who went to deliver the order has not returned yet, and the lower officials are always a little worried." Chen Qingping said worriedly, the rebels are ahead, and it is inevitable that the herald soldiers will make some mistakes. I'm afraid that something will go wrong on the way to the road, and the military order will not be transmitted, so what should I do?

"What, the herald didn't come back?" Shen Chongming's brows also furrowed suddenly. "Incheon is not close to Shaoshi Mountain, so it's normal to leave early this morning and not return."

When Shen Chongming said this, Chen Qingping also felt reasonable, probably because he was thinking too much, after all, the heralds were also people, and now that the war was urgent, the rebels were approaching, and it was reasonable that he could not come back to restore his life.

"But just in case, you're still arranging some people to go and find out the situation of the battle, so that if something goes wrong, the rebels will plan it." This is what Shen Chongming is worried about, once his plan is learned by the rebels and he is prepared, it will be a big deal. Instead of crushing the rebels as planned, they might fall into their trap and lose the battle.

Chen Qingping's heart tightened, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Xiaguan will arrange it." However, he said that in order to prevent the rebel scouts from discovering it, Shen Chongming did not arrange too many people to go to closely investigate the enemy's situation. After all, it was only one day, and it was impossible for an army of 30,000 to be defeated in a day.

The scout of the brigade went to investigate the enemy's situation, and Shen Chongming also ordered to speed up the march, which scratched his head.

By this time, as the defenders retreated, the two hills had all fallen into the hands of the rebels. After eating these two bones into his mouth in less than a day, Zhu Yiluan was naturally very happy. Although the sky had already smoked, it couldn't let Zhu Yiluan's boiling blood cool down.

"Order the army to pursue the victory, don't let the Guangdong soldiers and horses escape, today, Lone will beat them one by one!" Zhu Yiluan commanded with a spring breeze on his face, and the heralds who followed him suddenly responded, turning their horses' heads and going to convey the military order.

"Wait." Cheng Jingye hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "Little prince, this matter must not be reckless. According to the subordinates, although the Guangdong soldiers and horses retreated, the formation was not chaotic. And now it's getting late, and I'm afraid that I'll be ambushed by the Guangdong soldiers and horses when I go to pursue it. ”

"Hehehe." Zhu Yiluan laughed proudly and said: "Second Brother Cheng, you are really too careful in doing things, although the formation of soldiers and horses in Guangdong has not yet been chaotic, but the army's heart is lost, as long as we take advantage of the victory to pursue, we will definitely be able to achieve a big victory!" ”

"Little prince, this matter is not appropriate." Cheng Jingye is still not at ease, the art of war says that the poor are not chasing, if this forces the rabbit to be anxious, it will also bite.

If you want to say that before, Zhu Yiluan will definitely obey him. But in today's battle, Cheng Jingye made two consecutive errors in judgment, if it weren't for this, he would have been able to take down the two mountains that were guarding the main road at noon. Therefore, Zhu Yiluan's confidence at this time was unprecedentedly inflated, and he never realized that he was still a military genius!

"Okay, the lonely mind has been decided, second brother, don't persuade you anymore, wait for the order." Zhu Yiluan waved his hand and said.

Cheng Jingye was helpless for a while, and won big victories one after another, the little prince was already a little complacent, this is not a good phenomenon, and he still needs to think of a way. Otherwise, if he insists on going his own way, sooner or later he will cause trouble.

Cheng Jingye's persuasion was ineffective, and the rebel sergeants who had just captured the hill and were about to bury the pot to make rice to celebrate had no choice but to cheer up and rush down the hill to pursue the retreating Guangdong soldiers and horses.

Lu Dengda, who was personally commanding the orderly retreat of 5,000 men and horses, could not help but be anxious when he heard the news. At this time, the soldiers under his command had no intention of fighting again, if it were not for their own personal control, they were afraid that the 5,000 men and horses would also escape. But at this time, the pursuit of the rebels was tantamount to the last straw that broke the camel's back. I can imagine that as long as the battle is connected, the five thousand men and horses after the break will have to be dispersed.

"My lord, what should I do?" The general beside him asked anxiously.

"Get out; How does Lao Tzu know?! Lu Dengda, who was anxious, couldn't help but lose his temper and scolded, and anger burned in his heart. The rebels deceived people too much, and when they saw that they couldn't be bullied, they were so stubborn!

Saying that the mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger, plus Lu Dengda saw that there were no reinforcements at this time, and he had basically decided in his heart that he and his 30,000 troops were used as chess pieces by Shen Chongming, and he was anxious and angry in his heart, and the idea of a fish dying and breaking the net couldn't help but be born in the bottom of his heart.

"Pass my general's order, the 5,000 army will stop retreating, and follow the general to meet the rebels!" After saying this, he drove his horse back, but he wanted to take the lead to boost the morale of the decadent.

As soon as the order was passed down, the soldiers couldn't help but be in an uproar, and they felt aggrieved after being left behind, and then they were looking for their own death when they pounced, and they felt depressed when they rested on anyone.

was full of complaints, and several teams of people picked on the spot, and they were about to flee for their lives if they ignored it.

"Look, that's General Lu!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone raised their eyes to look. I saw that under the sunset, Lu Dengda, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, rode his horse and whipped, and rushed towards the approaching rebels with a team of guards without hesitation.

The effect of leading the way is like this, they are all big men, and no one is short of blood. Lu Dengda's approach was like a fire that ignited everyone's blood, and at that time, some people shouted and followed, more and more, until 5,000 people followed in one go.

The incident happened suddenly, and Zhu Yiluan, who personally rushed forward to command the army to pursue the victory, couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, what are they going to do?

Cheng Jingye is still knowledgeable, and he knows that the rabbit is in a hurry at a glance. At this time, it is no longer advisable to avoid its edge, otherwise it will not be good to usher in a big counterattack by Guangdong soldiers and horses. "Quickly pass the military order, the army charges!" Cheng Jingye ordered.

"Second Brother Cheng, what's going on, could it be that there is an ambush in Guangdong soldiers and horses?" Encountering such a situation for the first time, Zhu Yiluan couldn't help but panic.

"Little prince, don't worry, this is just a temporary counterattack by the Guangdong soldiers and horses, as long as they repel their attack, their morale will be completely shattered." Cheng Jingye's vision can not be described as non-toxic, and he got to the point in one sentence.

Zhu Yiluan nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "The second brother is still insightful, so do as you say!" ”

Seeing that he finally listened to his own advice, Cheng Jingye quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately took over the command and arranged.

First, he ordered 10,000 horses to meet Lu Dengda, who was counterattacking, and another 20,000 horses were divided into two groups and detoured from the two wings to pursue the Guangdong soldiers and horses fleeing in front, and the rest of the men and horses were still left by him as preparations. Leave a hand on the battlefield, this heart is always bottomless.

Seeing his arrangement, Zhu Yiluan felt good and a little dissatisfied, although it was not a big mistake to be careful, but he didn't have the courage to do things at all, how could he become a big deal?
