Chapter Eighty-Six: The Smoke Curls

"Poof" someone fell into the water.

When Yang Shenzu rushed into the camp, the west bank of Suishui became undefended, and there was no rain of arrows.

The biggest problem that stands in their way is the Suishui River.

However, the river was not very wide, and although it was rushed and poorly prepared, it was not a problem for a well-trained army.

They were the first to complete the preparations for crossing the river at Linying Camp.

The Linying camp is Zhang Xuan's old foundation, and among the Linying camp, Zhang Xuan has trained the most officers.

Therefore, after feeling only a slight resistance from the other side, Deng He simply recklessly sent someone to swim over, tighten the two ropes, and between the two ropes, build a wooden ladder and the like, and make a pontoon bridge.

Zhang Yuanhai was the first to lead the team and rushed over.

Zhang Yuanhai's department was not at all in order, it was just a few dozen people, and as soon as they rushed, the opposite side collapsed.

Zhang Yuanhai took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and actually broke into the opposite camp directly, and after occupying the camp gate, he didn't dare to rush again, after all, there were too few soldiers around him, waiting for follow-up reinforcements.

The second to complete the river crossing was the Nanyang battalion, after all, Cao Zongyu was good at training, and it was not Zhang Xuan who thought he was. Although all the rules and regulations of Zhang Xuan's department have Zhang Xuan's military thoughts, many of them are due to Cao Zongyu's efforts to put these military ideas on the ground.

Cao Zongyu understands Zhang Xuan's set more thoroughly. Therefore, although the Nanyang Battalion is the newly formed battalion head, its strength is second only to the Linying Battalion.

However, Xiping Camp is much worse.

Anyway, after Zhang Xuan had already crossed the river through the pontoon bridge in Linyingying, Xipingying was not busy yet.

When Zhang Xuan came to the official army camp, the battle was nearing its end.

The moon has long since disappeared from hiding somewhere, and the stars in the sky are shining again.

Zhang Xuan asked first about the smell of burnt corpses.

The large areas of ash also indicate that there was a fire in this camp just now.

However, the soldiers of the Linying battalion were already maintaining order, extinguishing the flames, and ensuring the integrity of the supplies in the battalion.

"Meet the Commander." After Yang Shenzu learned that Zhang Xuan was coming, he immediately came over to greet him, bowed down to the ground, and said.

"General Yang, please get up." Zhang Xuan hurriedly took two quick steps, helped Yang Shenzu up, and said, "In today's battle, General Yang is the first meritorious hero. ”

"The last general will not dare to take credit." Yang Shenzu said: "It's all the work of the leader's strategy. ”

If it is said that Zhang Xuan, who was attached to him before, was still on Luo Rucai's face, but now Yang Shenzu values Zhang Xuan, but most of it is because of Zhang Xuan himself.

The world defines the general

There is only one criterion, whether you can win the war, and if you can win the war, you are a good general, and if you can't win the war, you are rubbish.

No matter what Zhang Xuan used, after winning this battle, Yang Shenzu naturally looked at Zhang Xuan differently, and he was a little respectful on top of etiquette.

"Generals don't have to be too modest." Zhang Xuan said: "Xuan only has the ability to plan, but in a few days, he fought for thousands of miles, and on the night of the full moon, he struck a blow and broke the official army. If the general is not the first meritorious, then who is the first meritorious. The women's money obtained today, the other parts of the right army are not taken, and General Yang is rewarded. ”

Honestly.

Zhang Xuan is only fifty percent sure of whether this roundabout plan can succeed.

First, Zhang Xuan trusted Cao Yingjingqi. With such a marching ability, the Cao Ying cavalry must have it.

Second, Zhang Xuan also has confidence in himself, confident that he can clean up the worst situation, but Yang Shenzu's entire army was wiped out, and Zhang Xuan led his troops to evacuate.

Although the retreat was a difficult military operation, Zhang Xuan was still confident that he would withdraw all units of the Right Army across the course of the New Yellow River. With this man-made natural danger, please ask the pursuers.

But at that time, Yuan Shizhong could only ask for more blessings.

"In exchange for these five thousand elite horses from Runing Mansion, you are making a lot of money." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart. He just tried the power of elite cavalry.

"General Yang immediately gathered your subordinates, rested on the spot, and handed over the work of cleaning up the mess to the other ministries. Tomorrow morning, you will march again. Zhang Xuan said.

"What do you mean to rule over ---?" Yang Shenzu seemed to guess what Zhang Xuan meant.

"Yes." Zhang Xuan said: "Tomorrow, we will directly attack the long siege outside Xiayi City, and Xiayi City will be relieved. ”

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "When my strength is the greatest, it is now, the soldiers who have been recuperating for half a year have added the weapons that Luo Rucai has set off, and I dare not say that they are armed to the teeth." But it can also be said that the whole staff is full. And this state cannot last, with the extension of time and the increase of consumption, the state in the army will subside. Therefore, the most likely way to rescue the siege of Xiayi is now, and the official army is caught off guard. The more time passes, the worse it is for me. If you don't get it right, you can still put yourself in it. ”

"So the quicker, the better, as fast as you can." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

"The last will understand." Yang Shenzu immediately arranged for his own soldiers in a low voice, went to the camp to give orders, and rested on the spot.

"Wang Han, the governor of Henan, died in the chaos, and the chief soldier Bu Congshan seems to have fled to the south with his family. At that time, I couldn't catch up, so I had to hold it up. Yang Shenzu said.

"It's a pity for Wang Han." Zhang Xuan sighed in his heart, and had to say that he would rather waste half a year than repair the Yellow River embankment before going south to exterminate the righteous army.

This shows that this Wang Han still has

A little love for the people.

"Let's bury it." Zhang Xuan said: "You should also hurry up and rest." There is still a battle to be fought tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Yang Shenzu immediately retreated.

After counting the cavalry soldiers, there were probably more than 300 people in the entire military operation. It can be seen that there are not too many people who died in the battle array.

Yang Shenzu transferred the soldiers down and rested on the spot.

Zhang Xuan accepted the trivial matters in the camp, and someone immediately came to report, saying: "A big official has been caught in the camp, and the officials and soldiers call him Master Sang." ”

San-sama? Zhang Xuan used his brain, didn't seem to think of a few officials surnamed Sang, and said casually: "Lock it up first." ”

"Yes." The people below immediately went to do it.

At this moment, it was already the second half of the night, Zhang Xuan sorted out the list of materials, and was really taken aback in his heart, without him, there were more materials.

is not to underestimate Wang Han, even if he is the governor of Henan, now that Henan is ruined, he can't raise these materials.

It's just that now that these materials belong to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan was suddenly overjoyed and said secretly: "I was too eager when I came." Food is sufficient, and if we want to maintain a long-term stalemate, we must replenish it. can solve Zhang Xuan's urgent need.

The so-called one bell of eating the enemy, when I am ten bells. However, the hoarding point of these grains is not here, but the Wenjiaji not far to the east.

"Report." A herald said, "General Qin is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Meng walked over and said, "The last general will meet the commander." ”

"How can you come so late?" Zhang Xuan asked.

It stands to reason that Qin Meng should go faster than Zhang Xuan.

"On the way, I met Bu Congshan who escaped, and I fought some battles and killed Bu Congshan. The head of the good man is here. Qin Meng said loudly.

"Okay." As soon as Zhang Xuan heard the name Bu Congshan, he was extremely disgusted in his heart. Thinking of the good deeds that Bu Congshan had done on the embankment of the Yellow River, Zhang Xuan suddenly had a feeling of evil breath, and said: "Hang the head on the gate and let the soldiers of the whole battalion take a look." ”

"Yes." Qin Meng said.

At this moment, the sky is getting whiter, the morning star is shining brightly in the east, and the visibility has also gone up, at least not to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.

And the smoke floating on the ground was like wolf smoke, spreading out in large areas.

Although there are still such and such smells in the air, Zhang Xuan feels very refreshed. said: "Qin Meng, the official army has left a large amount of baggage in the Wenjiaji, you immediately get up and take over the Wenjiaji, don't let the Wenjiaji fall into the hands of the officials and the army." If you really can't hold it, you can burn it. ”

"Yes." Qin Meng said loudly. He took a few steps back and got on his horse, took his brothers under his command, and set off again, but this time in the direction of due east, which was the direction of the rising sun.
