Chapter IV: Judgment
Outside Hengshan Pass, the news of the victory of Zhancheng soon spread to the banks of the Fuliang River.
Tang Ning in Jiangdong heard that after Li Changjie heard the news on the Jiang side, he vomited blood three liters on the spot, and he didn't know whether the news was true or not.
If it is fake, it may be Li Changjie who is desperate to change. released this news, wanting to let himself attack the past, so as to surprise himself.
And if it's true, it couldn't be better. But Tang Ning is not ready to attack, anyway, I can't see your large-scale soldiers being transferred, and Lao Tzu is here with you.
It was a good time for the autumn harvest, and the grain and grass supplies were continuously transported from the rear. Lao Tzu's army of 50,000 can afford to spend it with you.
Tang Ning can afford it, but Li Changjie can't afford it.
He knew that Tang Ning's little plan was to drag himself here and let the Cham people wreak havoc behind them.
He would have felt better if there was a general who could help him to take a little of the burden and go south to resist the attack on Champa. But there is no way, in the current Da Li Dynasty, he is the only one who can stand up.
General Chen, who had been sent earlier, had lost the battle, and had been summoned to Huilong Mansion by the angry Li Deqian. It's really lonely to confront this shameless person on the opposite side on the bank of the Fuliang River alone.
Sighing, Li Changjie launched the strategy he had prepared a long time ago.
Attack the enemy camp at night to attract the attention of the other party. Taking advantage of this opportunity, send a sailor full of elite warriors downstream, let them unknowingly go around the flank of the Song army, and then launch an attack on the front, and finally catch the Song people by surprise.
Li Changjie said in his heart that he had been thinking about the plan for so long that there would be no mistakes, and he ordered it to go down during the day and start to implement it at night.
The Song army he faced was strictly disciplined, and when he was at the deepest at night, he could also see patrols near their camp constantly patrolling.
The Cochin soldiers in charge of the night attack had no choice, no matter what, it was the result of being discovered, so it was better to bite the bullet.
Only then did they appear in shape, and the gongs and drums in the Song military camp suddenly rang out, although they were releasing an alarm to tell the sleeping soldiers that the enemy was coming, but the Jiaozhi people sounded like they were beating gongs and drums to welcome them.
At the same time, twelve large ships carrying 8,000 Jiaozhi elites began to flow down the river.
Today there is no wind, and the flow of the Fuliang River is notoriously gentle. The speed of the big ship was very slow, but Li Changjie didn't care.
The Song army garrison was some distance from the Fuliang River, and Li Changjie, who was blind in the dark, did not let the twelve ships emit any light.
If the Song people released scouts by the river, Li Changjie confessed, but he also sent scouts to reconnoiter nearby before, and found no signs of Song army scouts.
So Li Changjie saw the twelve big boats slowly sailing downstream, and he was so proud in his heart.
When the dawn came, the twelve ships stopped back here, and the Downing on the other side, even if he had no last resort, he shouldn't have expected that he would play this hand, right?
The Jiaozhi soldiers who attacked the Song army's camp in the dark felt that the time was almost up, so they smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away, leaving a group of Song soldiers who couldn't figure out what the situation was, looking at the backs of the Jiaozhi soldiers who fled in a hurry and scratched their heads.
"Brother Ning, what are these people doing?" The knife in Xiao Shi's hand was still stained with blood, and at a glance, he knew that this kid had military merits again.
Tang Ning, who came out to check the situation only after learning that the Jiaozhi people had run away, looked at the dark Fu Liangjiang with his hands behind his back and said: "There must be a demon when something goes wrong, we are heavily guarded, it is impossible for Li Changjie not to know."
However, he still sent people to attack at night, so there were only two possibilities.
One is to probe our reality and see if we are really heavily guarded or falsely guarded.
The other is that he makes small moves in the back, trying to let these people's night attacks cover up some of his actions. ”
"Got it." Xiao Shi nodded: "When I practice fists with Fang La, I like to come to his left first, and then give him his right side while he is guarding the left." ”
Fang La looked at Xiao Shi in surprise, and was particularly surprised that he could give such an example.
Instead, Shen Qian frowned and said, "What kind of small action is the thief going to do?" ”
Tang Ning pursed his lips and said, "I hope it's not what I think, if it is...... Old Fang! Old Fang! ”
"Yes, yes!" Fang Yongyi ran over and said, "What's the matter, general?" ”
"Send a few good brothers to ride fast horses to the river to see if the boat they brought over the other day is still there."
"Let's go!" After Fang Yong agreed, he immediately went down to make arrangements.
When Shen Qian heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "What do you mean......"
………………
"Boss, we've been in this place for more than ten days. Except for a few ships that passed two days ago, I haven't seen any movement from the Jiaozhi people here, are we still waiting here? ”
In a small forest near the left of the lower reaches of the Fura River, a soldier asked, chewing grass roots.
In his dense woods, I don't know how many soldiers like him are hidden.
The tall tree leaned against a tree, and there were some withered yellow leaves on it, which had not fallen.
Tonight it was overcast, and the stars and the moon in the sky were out of sight. The Fura River was a dark landscape, but he seemed fascinated by the sight.
His bloodshot eyes stared at Fu Liangjiang, and when he heard his subordinate ask, Gao Shu said, "I don't know either." ”
"That ......"
"But I believe in General Tang."
"But General Tang also sent us here after listening to that kind of Jianzhong's words! What if no one comes here and there is another fight, what if the gang of fools in the Wujin Battalion and the Wuwei Battalion can't carry the banner? ”
"You entered the Zhenjiang army late, if I remember correctly, you only came in late in the Battle of Pingxia City, right? After the original defenders of Xiao Pass were defeated by the Dang Xiang people, they hid in the nearby deep mountains and old forests and waited for an opportunity.
Later, I learned that we occupied Xiao Pass, so I brought a dozen people here. ”
The soldier blushed a little when he heard this.
After Zhao Xu first learned about the experiment, he was not interested in this concept
Often fascinated.
During that time, he was an experimental maniac and did many experiments, one of which was to test the combat effectiveness of the Zhenjiang Army.
In the end, the Privy Council evaluators who participated in the experiment concluded that after removing the natural conditions such as height and arm span, the combat effectiveness of soldiers trained in the Zhenjiang Army for half a year could be improved from ordinary van soldiers to the level of entry into the forbidden army.
And the Pingxia Battalion, a special force that Tang Ning focuses on cultivating, can fight more than three ordinary Zhenjiang troops.
Therefore, every soldier of the Zhenjiang Army who joined the Pingxia Camp has the qualifications to be proud, and Zhao Xu also allowed them to be proud, which is the special treatment of the Pingxia Camp, which can be regarded as a reward for their hard work.
And this soldier was told about his humiliating past, and his face was a little unbearable.
"Xiao Guan was taken away by the party members, and it is not to blame for his humble position, it was the commander of the guard who made him escape. We don't have anyone to command, we fight separately, that's it. ”
"I don't blame you for not keeping Xiao Pass for this, it's because you came late and don't know how powerful this kind of construction is.
If you don't believe it, ask the veterans, those who participated in the early defensive battles around the state know the level of this kind of construction.
Besides, General Tang, you still don't know?
Have you ever seen him suffer? ”
"The general's wife seems to be able to cure him, and so ......is Daochang Pei," the soldier replied very honestly.
"Except for women?
He used 300 sets of foot armor and 100 war horses to exchange such a person from Huanzhou Zhizhou Chongpu, and he felt that he had made a bargain. Although I don't think there is such value in planting, General Tang has always been very accurate in seeing people.
You know that Fang La in the Wuwei camp, right? ”
"That kid doesn't know what to do! Boss, you personally went to invite him to join the Ping Xia Camp, but he refused! ”
"Why do you like to interrupt so much? I mention Fang La because he used to be just the grandson of an old fortune teller in Runzhou, illiterate and not in good health.
But do you look at him now? When this battle is over, if he and that Niu Shi are still alive, they should be promoted to generals. ”
“…… So boss, do you think you have a lot of skills? ”
"I just trust General Tang's judgment." Gao Shu licked his lips and said, "Although the battle of Xiaoguan defeated everyone, it brought out the backbone of the Zhenjiang army.
He has never let me down before, and he should do so in the future. ”
"......" the creep fell silent. The longer he stayed in the Zhenjiang Army, the more he found that the more senior soldiers were, the more respectful they were to General Tang, but the newcomers liked to take the commanders of various battalions, such as Shen Qian and Fang Yong, as role models.
"It's coming!" While the little soldier was thinking nonsense, Gao Shu let out a low cry to sober him up.
Looking up, he saw a large black shadow slowly driving over the Fuliang River.
"It's ......"
"The ship that transported troops two days ago!" Gao Shu was a little excited: "It's time for us to play!" Prepare the stone paint, let's lean over immediately! ”
"Yuwei!"
