On August 26, at midnight, the Qi army of the Western Road led by Tian Tan had begun to attack Suxian. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Hongrun naturally would not miss the opportunity to watch this siege battle, and after casually throwing the "borrowed general" Gan Mao to Wu Ji, he took Zongwei and Su Wangwei back to the southwest of Su County, looking for a high slope with a good line of sight, and observing the battle.

After all, whether it is the main army of Chu or the army of Qi, they are all objects that Zhao Hongrun needs to observe, and he has not yet come to a reliable conclusion about the approximate strength of the two.

This made Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shangshui Army, a young general.

Although he was also very resentful of the insults that the generals of the Qi army had given them, insulting them as peasant soldiers.

It is true that they were indeed peasant soldiers at first, but you must know that since they surrendered to the Wei State, both the Yanling Army and the Shang Shui Army have been trained in strict accordance with the requirements of the Wei State for training infantry, and the drill has lasted for a whole year. Not to mention, when several Zongwei from the sect such as Gao Kuo and Chongzhao temporarily joined the Shang Water Army, the training of the Shang Water Army became more strict, and gradually moved closer to the most elite army of the Wei State, Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang.

Therefore, the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, the peasant soldiers of those years, can already be called qualified Wei infantry.

And under this premise, the generals of the Qi army still look at them with the same eyes as before, and contemptuously call them peasant soldiers, what is this not an insult?

But having said that, Wu Ji was still a little unbearable after all: to ask a dignified Qi army general to be a pawn in the Shangshui Army was purely to let the general die on the battlefield.

And it was precisely because of this that Qu Cheng and Yan Mo were able to align Gan Mao with such a malicious smile.

However, I can't bear it, since Zhao Hongrun has already spoken, how dare Wu Ji disobey? What's more, although he felt a little regretful, he didn't have a good impression of Gan Mao, who let this guy dare to humiliate them in front of His Royal Highness King Su?

"Come with Wu!"

Wu Ji said to Gan Mao expressionlessly, that is, he did not take the opportunity to fall into the well, nor did he be too polite to the latter.

Gan Mao's face was bitter, after all, he also understood his fate.

Following behind Wu Ji, Gan Mao came to the temporary resting place of the Shang Shui Army with a sad face.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out and evil things go thousands of miles, and I don't know who is so fast-talking, at this time, among the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, it has already spread all over the matter of His Royal Highness King Su angrily reprimanding the generals of the Qi Army, so when they saw Gan Mao wearing the armor of the generals of the Qi Army, they all knew it in their hearts, and pointed at Gan Mao and sneered.

"That's it, right?"

"Not really! …… Hey, the general of the Qi army who was borrowed to my merchant army. ”

"How many days do you think this guy will live?"

"I'm betting I won't live until sunset tomorrow."

When Gan Mao passed by those Shangshui soldiers, those idle soldiers talked about it.

No one is optimistic that Gan Mao will live until tomorrow and sunset.

After all, if Tian Tan and his Eastern Route Army can't attack Su County today, tomorrow it should be attacked by the Wei Army of the West Road.

And siege warfare has always been the most serious consumption of soldiers.

Don't look at Gan Mao as a general, he may be strong in martial arts, but on the battlefield, the role that personal martial arts can play is actually very small, if there is no trusted companion to help you, even if it is a general, it is inevitable to die on the battlefield.

What's more, Gan Mao is a general of the Qi army who has already completely offended both the Yanling army and the Shangshui army, who can guarantee that there will be no resentful soldiers on the battlefield who will be behind the scenes?

Taking a step back, even if he doesn't play behind his back, as long as he doesn't help Gan Mao at that time, even if the latter is a general, he will definitely not survive that siege battle.

Therefore, almost all the soldiers and soldiers of Shangshui in this vicinity have regarded Gan Mao as a dead man, so except for sneering and ridiculing on the side, no one has embarrassed Gan Mao.

Think about it, too, why bother with a dead man who is destined to die?

Seeing this scene, Gan Mao's mood sank to the bottom more and more.

Finally, Wu Ji took Gan Mao to stop next to a group of Shangshui soldiers, only to see him look around a few times, and finally found the target he was looking for: Ran Teng, the thousand-man general.

"Ranten." Wu Ji shouted from afar.

At this time, Ran Teng, the thousand-person general, was chatting with several tun chiefs and uncles in the thousand-person team under his command, and when he heard the shouting, he subconsciously looked back, only to find that it was actually Wu Ji, the general of their merchant army.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately walked over quickly, clenched his fists and called, "General." ”

Wu Ji nodded, casually pointed to Gan Mao behind him, and said to Ran Teng: "King Su has an order, this general ...... Well, temporarily serve as a non-commissioned officer in our army. …… Don't ask too much. ”

may be afraid that Ran Teng will ask questions and ask questions, Wu Ji said in advance.

In fact, Ran Teng had already heard about it, but he didn't expect this "good thing" to fall on his team of 1,000 people.

"Obedience." Ran Teng glanced at Gan Mao and grinned twice.

Seeing this, Wu Ji frowned slightly, grabbed Ran Teng's shoulders and pulled him to walk a few steps away, and said to the latter in a low voice: "Ran Teng, although this person humiliated my merchant army, but the crime is not to death, not to mention that he has been taught a lesson by His Royal Highness, Wu Mou thought, it is a pity that a general died in vain, you take care of it." ”

Hearing this, Ran Teng was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "General, I heard that I heard that this is not what His Highness meant?" ”

Wu Ji naturally understood the deep meaning of Ran Teng's words, shook his head and said, "Who is Your Highness?" How can you really care about the life and death of a general? His Highness is just using this to teach this person a lesson and warn the rest of the generals, whether this person is dead or alive, His Highness will not care. As he spoke, he patted Ran Teng's shoulder and admonished, "Listen to Wu." ”

Ran Teng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, although Wu Ji let go of Ran Teng, he turned back to Gan Mao and said: "General Gan Mao, this person is one of the three most courageous three thousand-man generals in our merchant army, Ran Teng, the thousand-man team he leads is the elite of our merchant and naval army, you can temporarily be under his command." ”

If in the past, Gan Mao would not have looked at people in such positions with a thousand people, but now, he is not allowed not to bow his head.

He hugged his fist at Ran Teng.

Seeing that Gan Mao's attitude at this time was okay, Ran Teng nodded, and then said goodbye to Wu Ji.

His Royal Highness wants to teach this person a lesson and ask this person to be a pawn, General Wu Ji is kind-hearted, and he entrusts me to take care of one or two, which is a bit difficult......

Ran Teng pondered for a moment, recalling the various teams and teams of the thousand people under his command.

Suddenly, his heart moved slightly.

If you want to say that I am a thousand-person team, only this team is the strongest, and it should be able to protect this Gan Mao from death.

After thinking about it, Ran Teng took Gan Mao to find the target, a seemingly ordinary team of five people: Wu Chang is Jiao Meng, and the soldiers are Jiao Zhong, Li Hui, Le Bao, and Yang Wu.

Don't look at it as just a team, but it is undeniable that the reason why Ran Teng's thousand-strong team is called the elite of the merchant army is precisely because the soldiers under his command are all brave and can be ten with one.

Especially the one called Yang Wu, the force is actually no less than that of a hundred generals, and the military merits are enough to be promoted to the rank of chief, or even the commander of the tun.

It's just that Yang Wu didn't want to be separated from Li Hui and Le Bao's two companions, and secondly, he didn't have any big ambitions, so he didn't get promoted.

And Li Hui and Le Leopard, one calm and the other thoughtful, in Ran Teng's opinion, they are both young people with great potential, and in time, they will most likely become the backbone officers of the Shangshui Army.

Even Wu Chang Jiao Meng and his brother Jiao Zhong, who have less potential, are also experienced veterans.

This is probably the best option.

Thinking of this, Ran Teng called Wu Chang Jiao Meng and threw Gan Mao's hot potato to this Wu.

Before leaving, he privately conveyed Wu Ji's meaning to Jiao Meng.

I, Gan Mao, have been reduced to the company of soldiers......

In a new environment, Gan Mao was simply discouraged.

"Hey, new kid." The soldier Yang Wu looked Gan Mao up and down for a while, and asked curiously, "Are you an officer who has committed something and been demoted?" I look at this armor on you, it's very bright......"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the soldier next to him, Le Leopard, sneering and explaining: "This person has offended the general of Qi State under His Royal Highness King Su!" After that, he glanced at Gan Mao, his eyes were a little unkind, and he thought that it was also because the Qi army had a deep hostility towards Gan Mao because he had looked down on them before.

At the end, he added: "Tongze in the army is speculating, guessing whether this guy can live until sunset tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Gan Mao's expression became more and more sad, and he found a place to sit down with a sad expression.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Wu's eyes rolled slightly, and he came to Gan Mao's side with a strange smile, grabbed his shoulders and said sharply: "Don't worry, I'll cover you." …… But can you let me wear this armor? ”

Hearing this, Gan Mao took a deep breath and adjusted his mood, only to see him pat Yang Wu's hand on his shoulder, with a bit of sadness, and said in a deep voice: "After I die in battle, this armor will be given to you." ”

This guy ...... Quite backbone.

Yang Wu and Le Bao glanced at each other, and their views on Gan Mao changed slightly.

At this time, there were bursts of military trumpets from the south, accompanied by the sound of thunderous drums.

Hearing this, Yang Wu put away his hippie smiling expression, and said, "The Qi army has launched an offensive against Suxian. ”

"Hmm." Le Leopard nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "This battle is not easy to fight. …… If it weren't for merit, I really didn't want to storm Suxian. Anyway, why are His Royal Highnesses and Tian Tan so anxious to conquer Su County? Isn't it good to send troops to surround the county and ambush the reinforcements sent by Fu Lisai first? ”

Encirclement and reinforcements...... Is it?

Gan Mao glanced at Le Leopard with some surprise, and at this time, he heard the soldier Li Hui say in a low voice: "Maybe it's to support the army of King Qi, so you can't delay here...... In the end, the real goal is to leave the plug. ”

Listening to the conversation of several pawns, Gan Mao hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but mention them: "Storming Suxian is not only to support our king's army as soon as possible, but also to make Xiang Mo, the defender of Fu Li, realize our determination to win this fortress!" …… If that item was smart enough, after losing Suxian, he would have given up on Fu Lisai and chose to break through to the south. In this way, our side does not need to fight a fierce battle between Fu Lisai and Xiang Mo, and can advance the battle line to the area of the Huhe River in the shortest possible time. ”

“……”

Li Hui, Le Bao, and Yang Wu suddenly realized when they heard this, and looked at each other.

I have to say that Gan Mao is a general after all, and his vision and experience are not comparable to Li Hui and other pawns. (To be continued.) )
