Chapter 444: Demonstration before the battle
Lu Shi listened to the Ganquan master book talk about the process and requirements, and couldn't help but smile: "It's the county lord and the thousand households that have bothered, since the master is gracious, it is really in vain for me not to enter the city." After a pause, he continued: "Actually, we really didn't want to attack the county seat this time. ”
As soon as these words came out, the master book almost fell on his head.
"Feelings, we have nothing to do, do we suffer by ourselves, I knew this, we still ran here and took the initiative to invite people to do something, isn't this begging others to smoke?" But the words have already been spoken, and it is useless to regret it, only knock out the front teeth and swallow blood.
Looking at the master bookkeeper with an embarrassed face, Lu Shi smiled and said, "However, I have to ask the master bookkeeper to wait for a while." ”
"It's not a good thing, but please ask this gentleman to enter the city early and finish it early." A good person does it to the end, and since he invites someone, he will completely invite someone to show his favor.
"Okay, but I still have to lead people to destroy Zhang Yuan's thing that dares to be my enemy first. It won't be long. Lu Shi said lightly but confidently.
The main book was not much surprised, is it true, Zhang Yuan and Chuang Jun have formed a mortal enmity, where can Zhang Yuan no longer beat the water dog when he is afraid? Zhang Yuan's life and death have nothing to do with Ganquan, if it weren't for Zhang Yuan's house, Ganquan would not have fallen to this point, everyone couldn't wait to see Zhang Yuan's jokes.
Lu Shi arranged for the master book to come to the tent with him, and the army had been collected by the rear team after everyone was lightly armed with equipment and armor, and the people had already dispersed, and everyone saw Lu Shi coming, and immediately came out of the report, Lu Shi nodded and smiled in return, and after a while, he came to the center of the camp, turned around and ordered the heralds: "Beat the drums, gather the troops." ”
The herald replied loudly, "Yes." Then he ordered the drummers to beat the war drums together, and for a while, the drums became agitated, and as soon as they heard the drums, the soldiers who were sitting in all directions tied their leggings, arranged their rattan armor and tied their guns, and ran to the place where the drums sounded to assemble and stand in line.
After the first drum sounded, everyone had gathered, and the second drum sounded the whole team had stood solemnly, all neat and mighty black military uniforms, black rattan armor, like a mountain in the city, pressing the others out of breath, one by one the soldiers raised their heads and looked ahead, and the military appearance was neat and full of guns.
The squad leader began to report the number of the whole team, the military commander began to check the neatness of the equipment and uniforms of each soldier and the completeness of the armor, the sergeant began to walk through the team and the military to strictly check the discipline, after the third drum sounded, the team captains ran forward to report the number of people and the situation of the team in turn, the whole team was neat and orderly, the momentum of contempt for everything, so that the main book was pale and trembling, and those onlookers were even more contemptuous, such a strong army was unheard of and unseen, In the face of such a team, Zhang Yuan's failure was not wronged at all.
Lu Shi was very satisfied with this effect, and after each team reported the number of people in each team in turn, Lu Shi stood on a big car and asked loudly to the neat team below: "I know that everyone is quite tired after running for more than 100 miles last night, but now our great enemy Zhang Yuan has just broken through the defense line of our friendly army and fled from the West Gate, so let's not let them escape back to Yan'an and then form a team to fight us?" ”
"Don't let it." A tsunami of mountains replied.
"Okay, can you still fight?"
"Can fight, can fight." The roar of the mountains and tsunamis broke out again, and in this passionate fighting spirit, where can you still see the fatigue of running hundreds of miles.
"Would you like to go with me and beat the Reservoir Dogs?"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the king."
"Okay, this time our goal is to annihilate, annihilate Zhang Yuan, the dog official, and protect our base area, everyone has also seen it, and also felt the love and selfless help of the people in our base area, everyone said, can we allow the official army to plunder them from such people's parents? Are the officers and soldiers allowed to squeeze them? Lu Shi said this firstly to these soldiers who deeply felt the love of the people, and also to the master of Ganquan who followed behind him.
All the soldiers raised their guns and raised their arms and shouted.
"No, no."
"Yes, no, no matter who it is, what kind of force, as long as he dares to harm our people, we will never agree, we must fight him to the death. What is our slogan? ”
"Succession after servant, never abandon."
"What are our vows?"
"For the fathers and elders behind him, he will fight to the death."
"Okay, now, our goal, annihilate Zhang Yuan, let's go."
The drums of war sounded in a hurry again, and the brigade began to set off, rushing to the battlefield with high morale.
Looking at the fighting spirit rolling forward, thinking back to the firm slogan, the master couldn't help but feel sad for Zhang Yuan, who doesn't want to provoke such a strong army? It seems that if Zhang Yuan can escape and ascend to heaven this time, it will really be the incomparable care of the gods and Buddhas. But thinking about what I had just heard and seen, I sighed in my heart, it seems that the time has come for these officials to take away from the people in this land, and life will be even more difficult.
In charge of the defense of Ximen, it was the black bull and the horse bandits and small poles he invited, and there were more than 1,000 horses. Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Yuan fought all night yesterday, suffered many casualties, and fled back to the city in defeat, so he would not be able to defend it, not to mention that even if he broke through the city, there was also the Luo River outside the west gate, and they also had to choose other city gates, so everyone was mentally relaxed. Moreover, it was also a night of fighting, and everyone was sleepy and tired, so they hastily ate some dry food and rest with them, waiting for the wine and meat to be rewarded by the coming army.
The black bull had just joined the army, and he had no experience in the regular army, and his friends were all rabble, and he was used to being casual, and he didn't even send a patrol lookout.
I never thought that when everyone was sleeping sweetly, suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and when I looked up, I saw more than a hundred cavalry, I don't know when I had rushed out of the city gate to kill in front of me, so in a burst of ghost crying wolf howl, everyone hurriedly got up to fight, but where is the hurry? was charged by others, and many horse bandits who had not had time to get on their horses were slashed and killed.
When everyone was panicked and confused, it made the family rush to the camp, and they couldn't organize effective resistance at all, so they dispersed in a hurry no matter how the black bull shouted and scolded everyone.
Zhang Yuan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he didn't do much entanglement, so he hurriedly urged Xiang Yong's subordinates to go directly to the frozen Luohe River.
Here to breathe a sigh of relief, Hei Niu sent someone to report that King Chuang and the great commander knew, while gathering his friends and horses, reorganizing the men he brought, and shouted to his panicked subordinates: "Brothers, we just joined the Chuang Army, and we were trusted to arrange to intercept the enemy here, but we lost such a big face, how can we go up the mountain to meet our colleagues in the future?" Wouldn't you still be laughed at to death? For the sake of our face, in order not to let the big brother who broke into the army look down on us, now we are dying, and we must drag the enemy for me to buy time for the arrival of the brigade. Then he turned back to those chaotic friendly soldiers and said: "Brothers, you have done what you should do, and we have also given what we should have given in our base area, whether to continue to help my brother or go back by yourself, please decide for yourself, but whether you go or stay, my black bull and the base will never forget today's help, everyone look at it." ”
In fact, there is no need for Hei Niu to say, these friends who help will not leave, first, this time let go of Zhang Yuan and lost face in front of the army, and second, the saber promised by the army has not been handed over to his hands, where can he be willing to go? The most important thing is that as soon as this Zhang Yuan leads the team to run, then Ganquan is a woman without clothes, isn't that still up to everyone to take it? Such a good thing is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can it be easily given up? So they shouted together: "What Brother Black Bull said, my friend is using us now, how can we leave our friend alone, anyway, it's a bad life, and I'll hand it over to Brother Black Bull." ”
When Hei Niu heard this, he was greatly moved, waved his big hand and said loudly: "Good friend, righteous enough, when this matter is over, we invite all brothers to have a good time, don't talk nonsense, everyone will kill the enemy with me and show your face." ”
Encouraged by the black bull, those brothers who were washed away shouted again, got on their horses and brandished their knives to kill the officers and soldiers who ran on the ice of the Luohe River.
Zhang Yuan's Xiangyong is mostly infantry, after a small number of soldiers open the encirclement, regardless of the desperate run to the glacier, at the beginning of everyone on the ice, instinctively become trembling, nervous backwards small steps, for fear of slipping, but, at this time, the nails on the sole of the shoe played a role, one by one walking on the ice is not possible to slip at all, everyone let out a cheer, let go of their legs and run desperately.
But after all, people's legs are not as good as war horses, and they will be caught up by the black bull real cavalry after a while, but a dumbfounded thing happened, as soon as the war horse is on the ice, because of the high-speed running, they can't hold their feet at all, and they all neighed and fell, and those timid war horses, no matter how the master urges the whip is not on the ice, looking at the farther and farther away Xiang Yong, the black bull gritted his teeth and ordered everyone to drop the war horse, and also pursue on foot like Xiang Yong.
But what's even worse is that he watched Xiang Yong walk on the ice one by one, but as soon as the chasing people got on the ice, they fell on their backs and turned their noses and swollen faces.
But just like that, the black bull still gritted his teeth and insisted on pursuing, but it was not far away, and Zhang Yuan saw the black bull army that fell to pieces, and he was overjoyed, and he turned back with a group of foot soldiers to kill back, which made the black bull suffer a big loss, and he couldn't stand firmly, where did he still have the energy to fight with the enemy? At that time, he was killed by someone who cut melons and vegetables, and the more than 200 brothers who followed the black bull to the front were immediately killed. If it weren't for the brothers on the shore who saw the crisis and shot arrows to stop Xiang Yong's pursuit, maybe Hei Niu's men would have been wiped out.
Looking at Zhang Yuan Xiangyong, who was triumphantly gone, the black bull scolded angrily, but there was nothing to be done, it's strange for you to talk about it, then Xiangyong can walk on the ice like flying on the ground, and his gang of people are turning into rolling gourds one by one, does the river god also help the dog officer?
