Chapter 454: Battle King Qing (5)
Jiang De came to Tu Mountain and learned that Wang Qingjun had also sent reinforcements and occupied the eastern half of the mountain, and Pang Wanchun used the advantage of the bow and crossbow to constantly harass and attack, but he could not completely drive him down the mountain.
"Master Hou! The last general is incompetent and has not been able to completely occupy Tushan! Pang Wanchun didn't expect Jiang De to personally lead the army here, and thought that it was because of his poor capture, so he lowered his head and was a little ashamed to see people.
Jiang De looked at Wang Qingjun in the east with a telescope and said, "Most of Wang Qingjun's soldiers are poor people or from the Xiang army, and they are extremely resentful of the imperial court, so they are also very brave in battle.
When I was fighting under Zhongli City, I saw with my own eyes several times that Wang Qingjun jumped down from the city and died with our soldiers, and perhaps in their eyes, we were no different from the government that forced them to rebel. ”
As he spoke, Jiang De glanced at the Song Flag hanging high, and said with a smile, "I've almost forgotten, we are now an official army." ”
Pang Wanchun hugged his fists and said, "If the Hou Ye is willing, we are willing to raise the flag for the Hou Ye to attack Kaifeng!" ”
Jiang De smiled and said, "It's not the time yet, the Zhao family herdsmen have been recuperating for a hundred years, and Renzong has recuperated and recuperated, so that the population of the world has multiplied, whether it is a scholar, a doctor or a common person, in fact, they all support it, you look at that Song Jiang, every time he scolds those corrupt officials, and then he has to sigh that the Zhao Guan's family has been deceived by traitors, you say, even the rebels are saying that the Zhao Guan's family is good, is this the time?" ”
Pang Wanchun nodded clearly and said, "Actually, the brothers are not willing to work for the court in private, everyone says that fighting in Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom is fighting for the future of the brothers, but this battle is wasting the lives of the brothers." ”
The air suddenly became quiet, Jiang De slowly put down the binoculars, and asked, "Do you think the same way?" ”
Pang Wanchun bowed his head and was silent.
Jiang De smiled and said, "There are tens of thousands of thieves who are dissatisfied with the imperial court in Haozhou and Zhongli City, and Wang Qing still has nearly 100,000 such people in his hands. ”
"I see!" Pang Wanchun said happily, "It is worthy of the Hou Ye, and it is really far away!" ”
"In the past, Cao Mengde won the famous Qingzhou Army by destroying the Qingzhou Yellow Turban... We can also take this opportunity to expand our army again.
Well, give the order, let the armies prepare, the thief army does not know that reinforcements have arrived, and the night attack will be successful! ”
"Yes!"
On the east side of Tu Mountain, Du Biao walked in the camp in full armor to patrol, looking at the top of Tushan Mountain from time to time, I don't know why, obviously there are reinforcements, but Du Biao is even more uneasy in his heart.
"General Du, take a rest, it's almost dawn." It was Gong Duan, who was wearing civilian clothes, who had just gotten up at night and knew that Du Yan was still patrolling, so he came over.
"Hey, Tu Shan is the highest place in Haozhou for me, if it is lost, Haozhou City will be in danger, how can I sleep." Du Yan looked at the top of Tushan Mountain and said, "The imperial court has many crossbows, and our army has attacked several times, and they were shot down by the crossbow without even seeing anyone..."
At this moment, an arrow fell from the sky and hit a sergeant standing next to Du Po.
"Is it like this?" Gong Duan asked.
Du Yan nodded a little sluggishly and said, "Yes, it's like this...."
...
"Enemy Attack !!!"
A rain of arrows fell from the sky, and countless Wang Qingjun, who was still asleep, were nailed to death in the tent.
"What about the sentinels? Why didn't our sentinels spot the enemy troops? Du Yan roared loudly.
"I didn't expect the sentries of the thief army to be unable to see the surrounding situation clearly at night, which is simply ridiculous." Pang Wanchun said with some embarrassment.
Jiang De said while observing the battle situation, "This is normal, most of Wang Qingjun's troops are poor people, most of them have night blindness, and the food of the Japanese army and the Goryeo army we fought before accounted for a large proportion of all kinds of sea fish, so there are few night blindness."
Command, the whole army attacked! ”
"Kill!!"
The Liangshan army, which had been preparing for a long time, pounced on Wang Qingjun, who was already in chaos, and under the melee, in less than an hour, Tushan had been completely occupied by Liangshan.
"Master Hou, this guy is Du Yan, good guy, really powerful, killed twenty or thirty of our brothers, and finally was shot in the shoulder by one of us to take it down." Pang Wanchun pressed Du Bai, who was tied up with five flowers, and came to Jiang De.
Du Yan struggled left and right, looked at Jiang De wearing a mask, and laughed, "I have long heard that the owner of Liangshan Cottage is a shrunken turtle with a hidden head and tail, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be true!" ”
Jiang De smiled and said, "The general of the defeated army dares to be so arrogant?" ”
Du Yan scolded: "Phew! You used to be a good man in the green forest, but now you have been a dog for the government, and you still want me to give you a good face? ”
"Bold!" Pang Wanchun stepped forward and kicked him, Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Press it down first, and then send it down after taking Wang Qing." ”
After speaking, Jiang De pointed to Haozhou and said, "Now the city of Haozhou should have received the news of the defeated army, these defeated soldiers are panicked, and I am afraid that the army in the city will be in turmoil."
Who dares to change into Wang Qingjun's clothes and armor and take this opportunity to blend into the city? ”
Several generals asked for battle, and one of the prisoners who was pressed by shouted "The general wants to use this strategy, why don't you wait?" ”
"Bold, no one cares about bullying our army? Come on, take it down and cut it down! Pang Wanchun was furious when he heard this, and said to the soldier who was holding the prisoner, "Who asked you to bring these people over?" If you go back, you'll be demoted to the next rank! ”
The soldier felt annoyed, beat and kicked the shouting man, and rushed to the side, but the beaten man still shouted, "The general wants to seize Haozhou City, why do you want to bully the warriors?" ”
Jiang De looked at it and saw that this person was thin and small, and there were no wounds on his body, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't even look like you have any traces of fighting, and you can call yourself a warrior?" ”
The man shouted, "Wang Qing and the others are just reckless people who mess with the country, and they are just a bunch of fools who give their lives." ”
Jiang De asked, "Then isn't it a fool to sell my life for me?" ”
When the soldier saw Jiang De asking, he stopped fighting, and the man struggled and said, "I have also been to your Liangshan, and I know that the adults have great ambitions and means to reassure the people, and now the officials are mediocre and the ministers are treacherous. ”
Jiang De was photographed by this horse... It's quite comfortable.
Jiang De asked, "You just said that you can help me win Haozhou City?" ”
The man replied, "The city of Haozhou is high and deep, and it is difficult to capture it with soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to capture it without killing or wounding 10,000 people." The art of war is cloudy, the heart is the top, the siege is the bottom, most of the soldiers in Haozhou City are newly recruited people, as long as the city is in chaos, these people will not only not become the help of defending the city, but will become a disaster. ”
Jiang De didn't expect that this person was really good at talking, and he actually knew the art of war, so he asked seriously, "Have you read a book of war?" What's your name? ”
The man first tidied up his clothes, and then said to Jiang De, "Cui Yizhi in Xiahao Prefecture, my ancestor is also a poet and book, just because I have hated the ministers, and I have fallen to this day, I only hope to find the master, in order to show the ambition in my chest." ”
"And what are your ambitions?"
"My ambition is to paint all over the world!" Cui Yiyi said with a righteous face, "I heard that there is a Master Li in Bianjing, who is a country and a city, if she can be her guest of the scene, even if she dies, what can she do." ”
....
Deathly quiet.
"Also... It's really a good ambition. The corners of Jiang De's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It's not that you are blasphemous, but if you can take Haozhou City for me, I will arrange for you to draw a picture for the girl." But how can you take Haozhou City? ”
Cui Yizhi replied, "Actually, if the adults can say that one person will be lowered, this Haozhou can go down in one day." ”
"Who's going to be?" Pang Wanchun asked curiously.
"You mean Du Bao, right?" Jiang De said.
Cui Yizhi was surprised: "My lord knows? ”
Jiang De asked, "This person was still scolding me just now, how can he say surrender?" ”
Cui Yizhi said with a smile: "Du Yan is extremely filial, if he wants his mother to say, he will definitely surrender." Since he also knew that the rebellion was a head-killing business, no one else knew where his mother was, but I did. ”
"Oh? Where? How long will it take to get here? ”
"At the foot of this Tushan Mountain, this Du Yan is a smart man, he knows the truth that the light is dark, if the city of Haozhou is broken, Wang Qingjun will be broken overnight, Du Bai put his mother here, that is, once the city of Haozhou is broken, he can let the soldiers escort his mother away." Cui Yizhi pointed to the foot of Tushan Mountain and said, "At the foot of the mountain over there, I saw his own soldiers guarding a family over there. ”
Jiang De's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Wonderful!" Hurry up and invite Mrs. Du to come, never remember, don't be rude! ”
In less than an hour, Jiang De watched Cui Yizhi come back with a few people carrying a sedan chair, Jiang De looked at the old woman sitting in the sedan chair, and couldn't help but feel that Cui Yizhi would indeed do things, the old woman learned of Jiang De's invitation, and laughed and said, "I didn't expect my son to have a chance to return to the king, please rest assured, if the old woman can't turn this rebel's head around, she will die in front of him!" ”
Jiang Delian said that he didn't dare, first asked Du Yan's mother to take a seat, and then invited Du Yan to come, Du Yan walked into the big tent to see, where he didn't know what was going on, Du Yan's mother got up and scolded, "You rebel, I used to be a traitor from Wang Qing, I can't wait to hang myself and die!" I just hope that you can repent to live today, and now the Hou Ye values it, if you don't repent, I will die in front of you, and I am worthy of your father under Jiuquan. ”
Du Yan heard that snot and tears flowed out, and cried and said, "Mother don't be like this, what you want the child to be, the child will be!" ”
Jiang De smiled and said, "Okay, I'm Liangshan, I've added another tiger general now!" General Du Yan, I want to take Haozhou, do you have a plan? ”
Du Yi sighed, "It's not difficult to take Haozhou, but I just hope that Hou Ye will agree to a request." ”
"To put it bluntly."
"Then Wang Qing and I have kindness, Duan Er and the others are relatives of Wang Qing, please let them live after the Hou Ye breaks the city, and see each other on the battlefield in the future, the sin will inevitably not be forgiven."
Du Yan's mother said angrily: "How can an idiot talk nonsense! ”
Jiang De sighed and said, "Old lady, don't worry, General Du is a general's talent, like a phoenix, that section of the two is like a duck, I put a duck and get a phoenix, how can I refuse?" As General Du said! ”
When Du Yan heard this, he was moved in his heart, but he said, "Please give me the original soldiers and horses, I am willing to open the city gate and dedicate Haozhou to Hou Ye." ”
"Presumptuous!" Pang Wanchun couldn't listen to it anymore, and came out and said, "Master Hou, you must not, if one or two of those soldiers and horses are loyal to Wang Qing, wouldn't they want to cut off the lives of tens of thousands of my brothers?" ”
Jiang De snorted, thought about it, and Du Yan said again, "My brothers are all hard-working people who can't survive, as long as the Hou Ye is sincere, how can he rebel?" ”
Jiang De clapped his hands and smiled, "In the past, Cao Mengde once said, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, I worship General Du as a general, so I should naturally believe it, not to mention Wang Qing's trouble, I can't go to the mandate of heaven, I can't get the hearts of the people, and sooner or later I will be defeated, General Du is a hero, how can I not understand the general trend?" General Du, go and lead your subordinates, you can tell them, as long as you are not guilty of the past, I will reward you for your merits after the war, you should have heard of my conquest of Goryeo, Goryeo has 10,000 acres of fertile land and other people to reclaim, no matter whether you die in battle or win, your brother will have land to distribute to his family. ”
Du Bai was overjoyed, kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Please rest assured, the sin will be dead!" ”
Du Bao came to the prisoner of war camp, looked at his original brothers, listened to the voices shouting "general" around him, his eyes were tearful, and he said loudly, "I, Du Bai, am incompetent, so I have this defeat, and your brothers have suffered!" ”
"General, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's okay, but you can't kill a few more dog officers, it's uncomfortable."
"Yes, I raised troops with the general, killed dog officers, ate wine and meat, and what is so terrible about dying?"
"Brothers... Do you know the heroes of Liangshan? Du Yan asked.
"Liangshan is a hero, who in the world doesn't know the way for heaven?" A man in the green forest said.
Du Yi nodded and said, "Today's defeat of me is this Liangshan army, I have seen the lord of Liangshan Jiang Xinzhi, it is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, he promised that as long as we wait anyway, not only will I not blame the past, but also reward meritorious deeds after the war, even if I die in battle, I will also distribute land and the old in the family, I have promised on behalf of the brothers, if any brother is unwilling, please come out, I Du Bai bow to you, count me and other brotherhood is over." ”
Everyone looked at each other and said with great joy, "May I serve the power of death!" ”
When Du Bai prepared everything, it was already noon, Du Yan took everyone to just drink a few sips of water, and didn't even eat, so he rushed all the way to Haozhou, while Jiang De asked Pang Wanchun to follow with 10,000 elite soldiers.
Under the city of Haozhou, the soldiers defending the city were extremely surprised to see that Du Biao actually came back with soldiers and horses, because there were already defeated soldiers to report that Du Biao had been captured, Du Biao saw that someone was suspicious, and waved his blade and said angrily, "I am fighting to the death outside the city, but you doubt the general, dare to hesitate, and wait for me to see the king and cut off your head!" ”
Wang Qing's generals all knew that Du Biao was Wang Qing's confidant general, and they didn't dare to speak ill, and they saw that the soldiers and horses were all familiar faces, and they looked weak, so they just thought that Du Biao came out with a fight, so they opened the city gate while hurrying to report Duan Er.
Du Bai saw the city gate open, urging the horse to step forward, the captain guarding the gate still wanted to step forward to climb the relationship, Du Dai urged the horse to step forward, stabbed him to death with a spear, and shouted loudly, "Du Bai has returned to the imperial court, why don't you surrender quickly?" ”
Haozhou chaos!
