Chapter 1117: Your Head, My Battle Exploits
"Prison Xindu, we must also pay attention to the sentry of the gang of robbers, and when the soldiers and horses gallop to the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, I will take the lead in leading the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to charge into battle, and I still need to bother you to suppress the formation first. The city of the Daimyo's Mansion is high and deep, stretching for dozens of miles, how can it be easily attacked? If the thief army wants to attack the city, it must attack with all its might, and the rear formation will be empty, so you can take the opportunity to go straight to the enemy camp and capture the thief first! ”
Now on the official road near Qingshui Town on the east side of the Daimyo's Mansion, smoke and dust are billowing on the official road, and the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Ma Bu Army are all running wildly. And there was an officer with a double sword in the military formation who said to his colleagues beside him, but he was the commander of Cangzhou who served as the supervisor of soldiers and horses, when Yan Qing and Le He went to help Zhu Tong save the life of the small ya, they also heard him dispatch troops and horses to capture the strongman's Deng Zongbi in the dark.
Although Deng Zongbi arranged the deployment very simply, but he was on the side with him under Jun order to dispatch the troops and horses of the headquarters, and recruited some local townships to bravely eliminate the Yongjing Army soldiers and horses in the south of the strong men and horses Xin Congzhong frowned, although he and Deng Zongbi served in the military state of Hebei East Road, and the north and the border area adjacent to the Liao border, Cangzhou and the Yongjing Army are adjacent to each other, Deng Zongbi and Xin Congzhong also often have contacts, and they jointly send troops to complement each other.
But hearing that Deng Zongbi made up his mind very arbitrarily, Xin Congzhong faintly felt that something was wrong, so he said: "The two mountain thieves in Qingzhou are rampant, and they can defeat Guan Sheng, the head of the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion, as well as the officials and troops under the command of the Heavenly King Li Cheng and Dadao Wenda. Now that he dares to invade such an important place as the capital of Hebei such as the Daimyo's Mansion, that gang of strong men must also be somewhat sure, since there are two generals Tao and Zhang in Shanzhou and Zhaozhou, and recruit local heroes to fight against the strong invaders, and Gaotang Prefecture is not far from here, and there are also many soldiers and horses under the command of Gao Lian Zhizhou. ”
Deng Zongbi snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "What is Guan Sheng, the chief of soldiers and horses?" It's just that he relied on the name of his ancestor Guan Yunchang to mix up some fame in the forbidden army, and he got the appreciation of Xiao Tang and made some military exploits in the side court. There are also Li Cheng and Wen Da, to put it bluntly, they all relied on currying favor with Liang Zhongshu to serve as military generals in important places in the Daimyo's Mansion, and let a high-powered civil official point fingers at them, and they want to be shy and smiling to meet them, what kind of soldiers can that kind of birdman bring? The two mountains in Qingzhou are famous again, to put it bluntly, they are just some rabble, green forest and grass thieves, Guan Sheng, Li Cheng, Wen Da and others are incompetent in commanding the army, so they have broken the spirit of the official army, but what am I afraid of!?
In addition, as the saying goes, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, the Daimyo Mansion is located in the center of Hebei Lianglu, and we are separated from the soldiers and horses of Tao and Zhang Er, if you want to bypass the assembly of the thief army, I don't know how much time it will be delayed, and the thieves take advantage of the situation to wreak havoc on the counties, towns and villages under the rule of the Daimyo Mansion, and do not wait for the court to hold the court accountable and condemn the crime, and the world also said that we are afraid of the momentum of the grass thieves! ”
The more Deng Zongbi spoke, the more angry he became, and the long-suppressed anger in his heart seemed to burst out while he was talking. However, Song Liao has not fought for a hundred years since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, except for taking some soldiers and horses to inspect the horse bandits and thieves who have appeared in the Song and Liao countries in the field or other frontier areas, and now the situation in the Liao State is becoming more and more chaotic, and there is nothing to do with the officials and troops of the Song Dynasty for the time being, and his soldiers and horses are almost an idle errand, and after a long time, Deng Zongbi's mentality will inevitably become unbalanced.
The frequent wars in various frontiers under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty were naturally concentrated in the northwest frontier, but the various factions in the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty were either local generals or generals, and most of them were generals with deep-rooted relationships in the military divisions in the northwest, and it was difficult for the generals of other military states to blend into the system of the military divisions in the northwest unless they were appreciated and promoted by the generals of the Western Army. Deng Zongbi's temperament is a little rebellious, and he may not really be willing to obey those officials and generals in the Western Army who also have a way to go, but he serves in the military department under the rule of Hebei Road, and he is unwilling to submit to the commands of the civil officials above, and he must fight for some opportunities to make meritorious contributions.
However, the Liao army in the north did not have any major battles to fight at all, and the Song and Xia national wars would at most affect the Hedong Road area, and there was still a long distance away from Cangzhou on the Hebei East Road.
If it is said that Deng Zongbi is bent on eliminating the green forest and strong men in troubled places for the country and doing his duty, it is reasonable, but in the case of utilitarianism and killing, the mentality of the commander of the army is unbalanced, and Deng Zongbi, whether it is right or wrong, will also regard the heads of all the green forest thieves as objects to invite merit to the imperial court, and they are also stepping stones for him to rise in the army. So not long ago, I heard that the left-behind division of the Daimyo Mansion sent a decree to mobilize the Cangzhou Forbidden Army to coordinate the elimination of the three mountain strongmen on Jingdong Road, Deng Zongbi's first feeling was excitement, and he was so excited that his blood was surging in his chest.
However, Deng Zongbi did not expect that the two mountains of Qingzhou really still had some ability, under the rule of Hebei Lianglu, he was transferred and assembled by military orders, and in the process of recruiting local heroes and strong villagers to go south, he suddenly sent troops to attack Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture, which borders the south of the Daimyo's Mansion, and then quickly defeated Guan Sheng, Suo Chao, Li Cheng, Wenda and other Daimyo's official generals' troops and horses, and even came to the Daimyo's Mansion City, but the officials and troops of the Hebei border were caught off guard! After hearing the report, Deng Zongbi not only gritted his teeth with hatred, but also burned his anxious heart, which was originally a great battle feat, but now if he really allowed the Qingzhou Liangshan Gang to break through the capital of Hebei Lianglu Boundary, the capital of the Daimyo's Mansion, the imperial court will not say that he is guilty, wouldn't the world really think that he is the thief who has no choice but to be powerful!?
The green forest and the mountains are the masters, the iron-faced hedgehog is all feathers, and the head of your neck will be decided!
Under the anxiety and anger, Deng Zongbi was already ruthless, and although Xin Congzhong was not as radical as Deng Zongbi, he probably had the same mind as him. It was to listen to Deng Zongbi's analysis, Xin Congzhong roughly agreed with Deng Zongbi's decision to rush to the aid of fire and surprise attack on the main formation behind the enemy's army, he is also a military general who has always been proud of his martial arts, and this time he will work hand in hand with Deng Zongbi, and now the situation of the thief army in Hebei has the upper hand can not be reversed immediately!
It's just that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Deng Zongbi and Xin Congzhong think that they have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they stabbed them in the back when the soldiers and horses of the two mountains of Qingzhou attacked the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, and then attacked the city inside and outside. However, now that the Daimyo's Mansion has long been lost, and Xiao Tang's strategic goal is to target the officers, soldiers, and horses in several other places under their command in Hebei, at this time, they have already set up an ambush to wait for the two of them to rush in, which is exactly what Xiao Tang wants.
Now Deng Zongbi and Xin Congzhong want to rush to the boundary of the Daimyo's Mansion, the officers and troops are rushing with all their might, the formation is already a little disordered, the horse infantry army has gradually opened up the distance before and after, and the coordination is not compatible, and the generals of the battalions and departments do not dare to disobey the military orders paid by Deng Zongbi and Xin Congzhong, and the smoke and dust are rolling all the way, and finally the several battalions of the horse army in the front have rushed into the narrow terrain ahead, and there are already the leaders of the battalions under Xiao Tang who led the troops to set up ambushes and prepare for the mountain passes......
