Chapter 101: The brave wins

January is like a hook, hanging on the horizon.

The camp, which had been calm, was noisy again.

But the noise was quite silent.

The noise and silence are opposite, but they present the same moment.

Because of Zhang Xuan's order, no ignition is allowed, no speech, and no sound is made. Each has a wooden stick in their mouth. But when the army moves, thousands of people go out together, and there is no sound at all. That's how it looks.

Zhang Xuan was outside the camp gate, and the first to come out was Wang Jincai's department.

I have to say that now Wang Jincai's department is already the trump card of Zhang Xuan's department.

Without him, Cao Zongyu was under Zhang Xuan's command, and his ability to train soldiers was the first, but in the battle after the southern break of Linying City, Cao Zongyu's command almost suffered casualties. And the other newly appointed officers are not as good as Wang Jincai's ability to control his subordinates.

Zhang Xuan and several guards were all standing in the field, but the night was dark, and from a few meters away, he couldn't see who the other party was.

Luo Dai was already one step ahead, and he wanted to clear the way for the army.

The moonlight was dim, and the stars in the sky became bright, although Zhang Xuan could distinguish the north and south by the stars in the sky, but the path above the ground was not very clear. But for Luo Dai, it was a trivial matter, he sent people to leave soldiers in front to guide the way, and the team of men and horses were the same as before, let the soldiers without night blindness lead the way in front, tighten a rope, and the soldiers behind all held this rope to advance.

Behind Wang Jincai's department is Huang Xu's department.

After Zhang Xuan saw Huang Xu's troops leaving the camp, he didn't look at what was going on behind, but went straight south.

Zhang Xuan's intention to break the cauldron and sink the ship this time, almost all of the 2,000 soldiers in the camp were brought out, and it took a lot of effort to establish a good camp, and in an instant, it became an empty camp.

In the darkness, Zhang Xuan couldn't tell where he had gone, and there was no road under his feet, but a wasteland, fortunately it was spring, although everything recovered, but there was no lush growth, and most of them could still see the outline of the ground.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan heard Luo Dai whispering beside him: "It's here." ”

Zhang Xuan went beyond the crowd and looked to the south from afar, but saw four camps, separated by about a mile, as Luo Dai said, three camps were in the east, one camp was in the west, and the place where Zhang Xuan was located was to the north of them.

Zhang Xuan's eyes looked at these camps carefully, and then turned his attention to the one in the west. In terms of specifications, the camp in the west is better than the three camps in the east, and Zhang Xuan agreed with Luo Dai's judgment, that is to say, the camp in the west

There are big officials.

"Are you all here?" Zhang Xuan lowered his voice and asked Qin Meng behind him.

Qin Meng said: "Not yet. I can't see it well at night, so I'll go to the back and take a look. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Go quickly, let the soldiers who have arrived rest on the spot and eat dry food." And the soldiers behind him were placed on both sides. ”

"Yes." Qin Meng immediately passed.

Zhang Xuan looked at the sky, he didn't have the skills of the ancients, looking at the stars, he could judge what time it was, so he had to ask the people around him: "What time is it now?" ”

Zhou Fuchen looked up and said, "There are probably three watches." ”

It was midnight at three watches, that is, around twelve o'clock.

Zhang Xuan's department began to leave the camp soon after dark, plus he was in a hurry at night, and he had to be careful not to make a sound, and he walked for more than ten miles for several hours, which was not slow.

For Zhang Xuan, now he can only wait. Wait for all the soldiers to arrive. Wait for the whole army to be ready. Or wait for the enemy to find out.

Every minute is a torment for Zhang Xuan.

Even if it is camped, it does not mean that these official and military camps have no reaction to the situation outside, and why the scouts of the Ming army are called not collected at night has already explained the problem. And Zhang Xuan also understands very well, how can the actions of his thousands of soldiers have no trace at all? On the contrary, the movement is quite significant.

Zhang Xuan also understood that this was the best situation that could be restrained.

Therefore, he could be discovered at any time. Once he found out that in the wilderness, there was no camp to hold onto, and he was facing the cavalry, what would happen to him, he knew very well.

Zhang Xuan was very nervous, but this nervousness could not be revealed, he took off his cloak, spread it on the ground, and said, "Call me when everyone arrives." Then he lay on the ground, and for a moment, he snored loudly.

In fact, Zhang Xuan sleeps and never snores.

"In the dark, the power that sent me from the modern age to this era, whether it was the Divine Mansion or anything else. If you want me to make a difference in this world, bless me, and I will win the battle today. Zhang Xuan also became troubled by gains and losses.

Among the official and military camps.

Wang Qiaonian hasn't slept yet.

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

According to his original intention, he wanted to rush to the foot of Linying City within one day, but he didn't want to, and when he pulled out the camp in the morning, he urged several times before he set off, and not long after the afternoon, the army did not leave. No matter how Wang Qiaonian urged, he just didn't move.

In one day, I only walked more than 40 miles.

The distance between Linying, Xiangcheng, and Yuncheng is like a triangle. Between Linying and Yuncheng, there are sixty miles apart, between Linying and Xiangcheng, there are about ninety miles, and between Yuncheng and Xiangcheng

, about 120 miles or so.

That is, the road that could be completed in one day was dragged into two days by these ruffians.

In this way, where is there any suddenness?

Wang Qiaonian became more and more optimistic about the situation of this battle.

But if you are ordered by the imperial court, how can you be held back by success or failure?

In fact, Wang Qiaonian was not optimistic about this battle, he originally served as the governor of Shaanxi, and after Fu Zonglong's death, he sighed and said: "As soon as Fu Gong goes, there will be no one to kill the thief." Then he himself didn't expect that it was him who took over Fu Zonglong's position. Then he was forced by Chongzhen to quickly beg for the thief. However, he was in Shaanxi for a month or two, and after finding out the details of the Qin soldiers, he lost even more confidence. He himself said: "How can a newly defeated army of 30,000 or 20,000 be able to resist the newly victorious army of thieves, just like cutting meat and feeding tigers, but the soldiers must not come out, otherwise they will abandon the hearts of the people of Henan." ”

The emperor persecuted him, and the soldiers were defeated. Wang Qiaonian racked his brains to figure out how to win.

"Someone." Wang Qiaonian said: "Send someone to Xiangcheng and let the city sergeants serve 10,000 stone of food and 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"My lord, the small county of Xiangcheng has just been plundered by thieves, where can I get so much money and food now?" Zhang Yongqi exclaimed.

Zhang Yongqi is the representative of the gentry of Xiangcheng, and with the help of Zhang Yongqi and others, Xiangcheng will be broken in one go. So he understands Xiangcheng's family background even more. Xiangcheng County is not big, if it is a good year, it can still be taken out of ten thousand stones. Every year in the spring and autumn taxes, there are 10,000 stone money and grain.

But when is it now, now after three years of famine in Henan, the people are waiting to be fed, there are father and son cannibalism, husband and wife cannibalism, especially in winter, spring will be the time when the green and yellow will not be connected, even if the wild vegetables in the field have not yet grown, the silver is a trivial matter, but the grain of the county may not be as much as 10,000 stones.

Even if there is, if all this food is supplied to the army, what will the people of Xiangcheng do? Starving to death?

"How could I not know." Wang Qiaonian said: "But now the three armies are scarce, not motivated by money and food, these soldiers may not be able to fight, once the three armies are defeated, Xiangcheng will fall into the hands of thieves again, I am afraid there will be unspeakable things, such a situation, can only suffer the people of Xiangcheng for a while." ”

Zhang Yongqi's heart suddenly felt cold.

Come to think of it, if the thieves come again, they will sacrifice the city, but what will happen, needless to say, it will be extremely miserable. At this point, there is no possibility of giving up halfway. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Follow the orders of my old parents." ”

It's just that behind this sentence, how much blood and tears there are, but I can't bear to look at it closely.

"Kill."

As soon as they had finished explaining, they suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, and the originally quiet night suddenly became noisy, Wang Qiaonian got up suddenly, picked up the sword beside him, lifted the curtain and rushed out.
