Chapter 6 Riding a Tiger is Difficult

The backwardness of science and technology often restricts the degree of human cognition of things. Primitive people wrapped some animal skins on their bodies indiscriminately, but they didn't know that tens of thousands of years later, this thing was called fur, which was a sign of success for the ladies to show off that they had sold themselves for a good price.

The general of the Great Qi who took the initiative to invite the Ying soldiers to go out of Feihong Pass and ambush the Red Turban Army on the way was named Song Li. is also because of the backwardness of science and technology, TV was not invented in that era, and General Song didn't know that there was a column called "Animal World". A cheetah lurks in the weeds on the grassland, waiting for an opportunity to hunt an antelope, which is called an ambush. There is an ambush in the weeds with a dog, ready to attack a group of male masters, which is called suicide.

General Song Li led 10,000 horses and successfully ambushed the Red Turban bandits, who were several times his size, and the result was very miserable.

When cleaning the battlefield, Zhai Longbiao, the king of Guanxi, who had finally had enough of it, rode his horse to Zhang Baiqian with a big mouth and shouted: "Brother Baiqian, you and I don't owe each other!" ”。

Zhang Baiqian was slightly happy, put the big gun in his hand into his arms horizontally, and threw his fists at him, laughing without saying a word.

With a "snap", with a strong throw from Bars, the innocent coarse porcelain wine bowl was instantly shattered on the ground.

"Who gave him the courage to disobey the king's orders and act on his own?" After roaring at this voice, Bars Khan opened his eyes and scanned everyone one by one.

Agudammu glanced up stealthily. Bars rarely gets angry, so when he gets angry, it seems that his hair and beard stand on end, and the inconspicuous scar on his face also reveals a dignified murderous aura.

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Bars sat down dejectedly, sighed and said: "It turns out that King Ben Khan intends to press the territory with a large army, exert enough pressure on the Tuni tribes, and force them to submit, and solve the problem without bloodshed, and surrender without a fight, so as to unify the tribes of the steppe as soon as possible, so that the horses of the steppe can gallop freely on the territory of Daqi as soon as possible!" ”。

Bars paused, looked around at everyone again, gritted his teeth, and said, "But now? The Zalihats acted on their own and tried to take the lead, but they were all wiped out! What's even worse is that the Tunis and other tribes that are still swaying have the confidence to confront our coalition army, and our coalition army is difficult to ride a tiger, and this battle must be fought, and if it is not fought, it must be fought! There's no room for manoeuvre! ”。

Chagan Temur swallowed and spitted, stepped forward and saluted: "King Khan, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more. At present, only by killing all the Tuni people as soon as possible can we deter those wandering tribes that are still swaying and restore the reputation of our coalition army. ”

Bars stood up and said: "King Ben Khan first issued a decree: in the future, all tribes of the coalition army must completely obey the unified command of the king of the Khan, and anyone who disobeys the king's orders and acts without authorization will be regarded as a public enemy of the coalition army, and anyone in the coalition army can exterminate them!" ”。

Seeing that the representatives of the tribes were silent, no one objected. Bars then said: "Agudam, Chagan Temur, order you two to lead the men and horses of your subordinates, as the vanguard of the coalition army, and the rest of the men and horses as the answer, with torches as the signal, to attack the Tuni tribe tonight at night, and kill them without leaving a single chicken and dog!" ”。

At the Jinluan Palace in the capital of the capital, Li Hongji consulted the ministers on the issue of Feihong Pass and requesting additional reinforcements.

At first, no one expressed his position for a long time, and Li Hongji's heart suddenly caught fire.

Seeing that the saint was not good, the military department Shangshu stepped forward hard, knelt on the ground and said: "Holy Lord, General Yan's new army to protect the country is about to go out, and all supplies must ensure that the national protection army exterminates the Great Chu, and there are really no soldiers to send in the court." It is better to send an edict to the saint and send someone to Feihong Pass with some rewards to reward the three armies, as long as they can hold out for three or five months, the Great Chu will collapse, and the siege of Feihong Pass will be solved! ”。

An old minister also hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Yes, Holy Lord, Lord Shangshu is reasonable. At this time, the Red Turban bandits sent troops to attack Feihong Pass, with malicious intentions, intended to shake the hearts of our army and reduce the pressure on its frontal battlefield. We just have to turn a deaf ear and ignore it, and the conspiracy of the Red Turban Thieves will be defeated! ”。

Li Hongji frowned tightly and hesitated: "Let them close the door for three or five months?" Can it be done? ”。

A person walked out of the ranks of the generals and said in a loud voice: "Shengshang Mingjian, Weichen has been in Feihong Pass for several months, where the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more grain and grass in the city for more than half a year, and it is not a problem to hold on for three or five months." Think about how fierce the grassland tribe is, but they have never been able to win Feihong Pass for more than ten years! Rest assured, the Holy One is."

Li Hongji was still not very relieved, thought quietly for a while, and secretly counted with his fingers: There are indeed no available generals, but soldiers can be sent. couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "That's it!" ”。

Feihong Guanchengtou. The guard Han Shizhong stood on the high city wall with his sword, overlooking the surging people and horses of the Great Chu under the city, and did not show the slightest timidity. As soon as he came, he had sent a fast horse to report to the imperial court, believing that a large number of reinforcements would arrive soon, and he knew the bottom of his heart. Second, I have been stationed here for many years, and I have seen a lot of more dangerous battles than this, so it is not surprising.

The soldiers of the Red Turban Army quickly assembled under the city, but they were not in a hurry to attack, but rearranged the formation, slowly retreated, and after withdrawing for a distance, they began to set up tents on the spot, burying pots and cooking without hurry.

Han Shizhong at the head of the city couldn't help but sigh softly, and muttered secretly in his heart: The red scarf bandit is planning to rely on it and not leave!

At this moment, one of his lieutenants hurriedly came to his side and bowed to salute.

Han Shizhong turned his head and asked, "Have all the grain and grass in Guanzhong been inspected?" We must be ready, and I am afraid that we will not plan to evacuate for several months! ”。

The adjutant general replied: "Please rest assured, the subordinates have investigated and counted: the grain and grass in Guanzhong are enough to support half a year!" It's just that...... The thief army had already approached the city, but General Song, who had gone out to ambush the enemy, returned with his men and horses. ”

Han Shizhong turned his face away slightly and did not answer. In fact, everyone knows it, but they don't want to break it: General Song and his subordinate officers and soldiers, this "gift" that is not big or small must have been shamelessly pocketed by the red turban bandits.

Early the next morning, Han Shizhong, who was still asleep, was awakened by the rumbling cannons and shouts of killing, he hurriedly dressed up neatly, and hurriedly rushed to the direction of the closed door with a sword in his hand. He only knew that the Red Turban Bandits had started attacking early in the morning, but at this time he would never have imagined that this offensive and defensive battle, which was very difficult for both sides, would be fought so fiercely and protracted.

He would never have dreamed that he, along with these brothers guarding the pass, would be selectively forgotten by the Great Qi Imperial Court from the beginning.
