Winning the championship (four upper)

Until the end of the military discussion, Cheng Mingzhen did not guess Li Zhongjian's plan. {p) This famous opponent is like a goshawk, flying high in the sky, so that it is impossible to see what he is doing. However, under Dou Jiande's military order, the Zhaozhou battalion could only implement it to the letter. Escorting a batch of grain and grass baggage, following behind the army, slowly marched towards Yixian.

Wang Fubao was killed by lightning more than a month ago, because the majority of the troops were cavalry, so Yi County was unable to capture it for a long time. Dou Jiande led the main force to surround it again, and attacked a projectile land with an army of more than 100,000 troops, which must have been a matter of raising hands.

The battalion of Zhaozhou has few people, and the battle is useless, so it can only be responsible for protecting the baggage of the army. More than 100,000 people ate and drank on the official road to the north, dragged back and forth for five or six miles, looking like a creeping dragon. Spectacular. Xiong Kuohai, Wang Fei and others rode on the back of this giant dragon, looking left and right while rectifying the order of the team. Most of the time they were on guard for the safety of the baggage team, but occasionally at a glance, they were deeply fascinated by the surrounding scenery.

This is already the hinterland of the six counties of Boling, which has not been affected by the war for many years, and the people of Boling County are far more prosperous than other places. Although the people heard the news of the war, they all took refuge in the mountains. But the freshly harvested fields, the well-groomed ditches, and the rows of willows between the ridges to mark the boundaries all reveal the taste of paradise.

The eaves of the trunks here are rarely not charred black, and the ground is surprisingly flat. Between the ankle-high stubble, the occasional pot-bellied hamster was startled, rolled and fled, and then stared back with dark eyes to see who had disturbed its autumn dreams. Flocks of birds and finches flew up after them, hula and swept over the heads of people, blocking the sky above their heads. When they saw that the clothes under them were not familiar to them, the little ones were shocked and angry, squeaking and shouting.

"Lao Dou fought this battle?" Wu Tianxi returned to the front of the team and sighed softly. "Hey! Even if you grab the territory, you won't get the hearts of the people. There are no three or five years of time, are there any of these counties! ”

"It's different, it has greatly weakened the Li family!" Duan Qing followed him and retorted in a low voice. For the battle in front of him, he also felt bored. No matter how much credit is given, it is not the turn of the camp in Zhaozhou, and there is still a lot of trouble. The work of escorting grain and grass seemed easy, but there were less than 3,000 people escorting so many grain carts, and there was not a single person standing in front of each cart. A young man and a robber rushed forward, and it was enough for everyone to drink a pot.

You also say that the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. Before Duan Qing's head could be twisted back, the sound of horses' hooves could already be heard in the distance. A few scouts scattered around the perimeter to guard the horse's hooves were injured by the stubble, and ran towards the team in a hurry. Wave the signal flag while running. "Enemy attack, enemy attack, seven miles away, cavalry, the number is unknown!"

"The whole team, the cars are outside, the people are inside." Wu Tianxi did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to prepare for the battle. The chaotic grain transport team immediately became a pot of porridge. The people who had been requisitioned to push the carts put them on the ground and fled. The majestic sea knocked over more than a dozen people one after another, but they couldn't stop it, and they stomped their feet, so they had to give up.

"The whole team, put the grain carts in a circle, wet them with water, and wait for help." Cheng Mingzhen's experience is very old, and he felt that the situation was not good, so he immediately gave up all illusions and helped Wu Tianxi adjust his deployment. Fortunately, the scouts are scattered far enough away, and they have a special set of signals to communicate with each other, so the information is transmitted in a very timely manner. By the time the enemy approached, the grain wagons had been put in place. Hurriedly arranged into a gourd-shaped, although it looks a little ugly, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Archers, shoot your feet. The long lance hand and the Mo knife hand pressed on, and the cloth rejected the horse formation! "At the moment of the great enemy, Cheng Mingzhen took over the command again and gave an urgent order.

Wu Tianxi and Xiong Kuohai agreed, and after each took the soldiers and horses of their headquarters to grab the grain cart, they stretched the front end of the long lance and Mo knife obliquely, and the back end was heavily soiled. The eight-foot-long lance and the nine-foot-long Mo knife rely on the car on the west side as a support, forming two steel jungles.

The enemy came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they had already reached 200 paces in front of the battle. The archers of the convoy's battalion immediately bent their bows and threw arrows upward, and a rain of arrows fell about a hundred paces in front of their own formation. This method of shooting is not so much a rejection of the enemy as a demonstration. Seeing this, the attacking enemy general couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh" and hurriedly took his mount. The more than 1,000 riders behind him also quickly grabbed the horse's head, and with the general as the front, they were neatly lined up into a sharp blade.

"Good riding!" Although he was an enemy, Wu Tianxi couldn't help but shout hello for the skillful horsemanship of the opposing cavalry. The general on the opposite side was also very impressed by the fact that the battalion could swing out so quickly, took a mount, trotted forward a few steps, stopped outside the effective killing range of the archers, and shouted: "Which general is leading the troops to visit, can you come out of the battle to see it?" ”

"Ping Encheng is famous and revitalizes the treasure land. Lots of interruptions. Cheng Mingzhen jumped on a grain truck and gently bowed his hand to the outside of the formation. I don't know which general is on the other side, what a handsome horseman! ”

"Beihai Zhangjiang!" The general on the opposite side clasped his fists and returned the salute, "I have admired General Cheng's name for a long time, and it is really a blessing for me to meet today!" ”

"In Cheng's heart, he also admires General Zhang very much." Cheng Mingzhen laughed, not caring at all about the other party's sudden appearance. Hearing that their master would be so calm, the brethren's panicked mood calmed down a little, and they carefully examined the attacking enemy through the gap between the lance and the Mo knife.

I saw that the number of this group of enemy troops was about 1,000, which was less than half of the children of Zhaozhou who guarded the grain and grass. But everyone is wearing light armor, holding the standard horizontal knife of the Great Sui official army, ** the mount is fat and strong, and the waist height is six feet away, and it looks like a good horse from the plug. Such an armed lightly armored cavalry, although the number is small, is not something that the Zhaozhou battalion can afford. Not to mention that the other party is well-trained and has solid armor. Even if their equipment is comparable to that of the Zhaozhou battalion, once they rush into the baggage team, they will make the Zhaozhou battalion busy. Those temporary sprinkled with water were only a layer of wet on the surface, and the inside could not resist the fire at all. If the opponent attacks with rockets from a distance, he can barely deal with the past. If the other party rushes into the depths of the convoy and pours oil on the fire, no matter how much water is sprinkled on the grain, he will not use the power of the torch.

Today's plan, the best choice for the Zhaozhou battalion is to brake quietly, no matter how the other party shouts, it is not out to fight. With the peripheral grain carts and the long lance Mo knife, he fought with the enemy, and insisted until Dou Jiande's soldiers came to help. Therefore, Cheng Mingzhen said one sentence after another, even if he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, he had to chat happily with the other party and delay the start of the war as much as possible. The generals on the other side seem to have the same thoughts, and there is not a word, the south and the north. From Cheng Mingzhen's starting history to the bloodline inheritance of the Boling Army, he just refused to give the order to rush into battle.

It was mid-autumn, and the days had been greatly shortened. In less than an hour and a half of chatting with the commanders of both sides, the sun set on the western peak. Zhang Jiang, the general of the Boling army, looked back at the sunset in the sky, and proposed with a smile: "If I choose to charge at this time, it will be equivalent to taking advantage of General Cheng for nothing." It's rare that you and I hit it off at first sight, so let's stop fighting tonight, and how about a showdown tomorrow morning? ”

"So, thank you General Zhang for your righteousness!" Cheng Mingzhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the dazzling sunlight in the west, and thanked him.

"I'll go first. General Cheng ordered to rest though! Zhang Jiang laughed, turned his horse's head, and returned to his own position. Then with a whistle, he actually led the cavalry to retreat to an open field two miles away and set up camp.

Holding back the discomfort in his eyes, Cheng Mingzhen watched the other party's figure walk away. After making sure that the other party really had no other action, he jumped out of the grain cart and returned to his brothers to discuss countermeasures. At this time, Zhangjiang led troops to attack, and the children of Zhaozhou could not open their eyes at all in the face of the sun, and they did suffer very much in terms of geographical advantages. But he didn't believe that the other party would be so kind. The battle between the two armies is about "not giving in on the spot, and the father and son are merciless", and he suddenly turned his face and killed in someone's lair, and he still expected the enemy to treat him politely, that is the real fool.

However, what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Jiang's gourd. Cheng Mingzhen and others were puzzled. The grain transport team lagged behind the main force and was only about half a day's journey. Even if Zhang Jiang could intercept all the riders sent out by the Zhaozhou battalion to report to Dou Jiande with the superior cavalry strength in his hands, if he still did not get the news of the grain transport team early tomorrow morning, Dou Jiande would definitely send more people to check back. At that time, no matter how great Zhang Jiang's ability is, it will be impossible to kill all the scouts sent by Dou Jiande. As long as one or two scouts bring back the news that the grain truck was blocked, Dou Jiande will inevitably send a large army to help. That is, as late as tomorrow afternoon, the reinforcements may converge with the Zhaozhou battalion. And as long as the Zhaozhou battalion ensures that the enemy does not kill the enemy in the car formation before this, hundreds of thousands of stones, grains, and grass will be safe and sound!

"In this case, the surname Zhang should be very anxious, how can he accompany me to delay the fighter plane in vain?" Looking up at the deepening twilight, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't help muttering to himself. He now regrets very much that he didn't take Wang Ermao with him. Although his good brother usually looks rough, he can always be as wise as a torch at critical moments. If he is here, maybe he can see through the other party's conspiracy with him, so that Zhang Jiang will die early and return home.

"Leader, do you want the brothers to eat?" Wu Tianxi stayed at the enemy army in the west for a long time, and he didn't come up with a reason. But his stomach was so hungry that he walked up to Cheng Mingzhen and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"Let the brothers deal with eating some dry food, and open a three-person wide gap behind the cart formation for everyone to go out and get water. Don't light a fire, don't leave the team without permission! Cheng Mingzhen pondered for a moment and ordered in a low voice.

The number of enemy troops who came to intercept the grain was not large, and as long as the hedgehog formation of the Yuzhou battalion did not disperse, the enemy would find an opportunity to take advantage of it. Wu Tianxi is also an old soldier, and understands why Cheng Mingzhen gave such an order. agreed, and took the order.

After another moment, the Boling army on the opposite side also began to dismount and cook. The smell of cooking smoke and cooked food wafted along the evening breeze, and the brothers in Zhaozhou, who were so hungry that they could only eat dry food, drooled. "***, fight and don't fight, go and don't go, what kind of bird thing!" Xiongkuohai couldn't stand the taste of eating dry food and drinking cold water, glared at the smoke of the stove twice, and scolded and scolded.

"Can't stand it after just eating a meal of dry food? I think back then, when we were hiding from the official army in Julu Ze, we didn't dare to make a fire for more than ten days in a row. Take dry food and cold water every day! Relying on his qualifications, Wang Fei smiled and joked about the majestic sea.

"If you have the ability, you can try to eat dry food for ten days in a row?" Xiong Kuohai glared back at him, smiling and mocking. "When Lao Tzu was catching a big car, he was hungry for several days? Let's be a hero, don't mention the courage of the year! ”

"Indeed, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!" Seeing that there was no possibility of a combat student at the moment, Wu Tianxi also joined the chat team.

Before his words fell, Cheng Mingzhen had already jumped up. grabbed Wu Tianxi's arm and shouted, "What did you just say, say it again?" ”

"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift is difficult? What, I'm using the wrong allusion again? Wu Tianxi was very studious, and asked Cheng Mingzhen for advice in a low voice.

"That's right, you're not right at all!" Cheng Mingzhen put his hand on his forehead, and his eyes were dark. He finally understood what Zhang Jiang was going to do? This guy is worthy of being a fierce general under Li Zhongjian, and his methods are also vicious!

"Leader, what's wrong with you?" Everyone felt that Cheng Mingzhen's face was wrong, so they gathered around and asked with concern.

"Let's whisper! Don't mess with the morale of the military. Cheng Mingzhen looked around and ordered in a low voice.

"Come on, form a circle, and be on guard within ten steps!" Wu Tianxi understood and immediately ordered the guards to build a barrier with their bodies for the convening of a military meeting.

Similar deliberations were common on the march, so the surrounding brethren did not find it strange. picked up his share of dry food and cold water, and consciously kept a certain distance from Cheng Mingzhen and others. After making sure that there were no extra ears around, Cheng Mingzhen smiled miserably and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there is trouble over there, Old Dou!" He was accustomed to serving the enemy with food, and he only carried three days' worth of grain and grass in the army. ”

"Isn't three days enough? Besides, Boling is so rich all over the country, and Lao Dou is in a hurry, just find a tunzi, and you can also collect a lot of food! Wu Tianxi frowned and asked in a tentative tone. Although he didn't have much loyalty to Dou Jiande, as the peripheral general of the Dou family's army, he still didn't want his team to lose. It is difficult to finish the eggs under the nest, and once the Dou family army is defeated, it is difficult for the Yuzhou battalion to be preserved alone.

"That's the problem. Boling is rich all over the country, and the people have a lot of food in their hands! Cheng Ming Zhenxun took Wu Tianxi's words and explained in a low voice. Everyone has seen that the places along the way have been tuntian for a longer time than us, and the degree of wealth is not comparable to ours at all. Lao Dou must also have this impression, so he is relieved to boldly rush forward. But he forgot that the reason why the villages and fortresses along the way had surplus grain was that the Boling army did not take away the grain, nor did they force the people to flee for their lives. And on the other side of Yi County, Brother Wang has already attacked Yuecheng for more than half a month, and even if the surrounding people didn't have time to flee at the beginning, they must have run away long ago! ”

"Shhh After listening to Cheng Mingzhen's words, everyone gasped. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people as much as possible, Dou Jiajun did nothing to the people along the way. And the Boling army seemed to have expected this, and did not hold the people together at all when retreating. But all this was born at the beginning of the war, and now the battle has entered its final stage, involving the life and death of both parties. All the methods that can strike the enemy are good methods, and there is no time to worry about morality.

Today, Dou Jiande's army of more than 100,000 people, known as 200,000 to the outside world, has driven to the city of Yixian. As long as this city is taken, the six counties of Boling are already ten matters of life and death, and it is impossible for Li Zhongjian to retreat in great strides. If everyone's expectations are good, I am afraid that outside Yixian County is the main battlefield that Li Zhongjian prepared to fight against Dou Jiande in advance. And the means adopted on the main battlefield will certainly be used to the extreme.

From the perspective of the Boling Army, since the enemy is outnumbered, the most effective way to attack Dou Jiande is to cut off his supply of grain and grass. It is true that at the critical moment, Dou Jiande can tear off his face to "feed the enemy". The battle-hardened Boling Army would not have thought of this. Therefore, if everyone expected, at this moment, it is impossible for the Dou Jiajun to find another grain in the hundreds of miles around Yi County. Within half a month, all the grain and grass supplies of the Dou Jiajun had to count on this batch escorted by the Zhaozhou battalion. And as long as the Zhaozhou battalion can't drive the grain truck to the city of Yixian within three days, the soldiers of the Dou family army will be hungry.

Only when you have food in your hands can you not panic in your heart. It won't even take three days, as long as the grain and grass are not available within two days, the morale of the soldiers of the Dou family army who eat dry food and drink cold water will inevitably collapse. It is simply impossible to have the heart to attack the city anymore. And the longer it drags on under the city of Yi County, the more dangerous the situation will be for Dou Jiajun. It is difficult to fortify the city, the food and grass are delayed, the enemy's reinforcements may appear at any time, and even their own rear roads are difficult to guarantee. In such a state of affairs, the Dou family said that it was an extravagant hope to continue to sweep Hebei and be able to retreat!

"***, Lao Tzu fought with them!" Thinking of the tragic situation of hundreds of thousands of troops rushing to flee, Xiong Kuohai immediately couldn't sit still, jumped up, and prepared to go out to play with his life with a knife.

Wu Tianxi took a step forward and hugged his waist tightly with both hands, "Lao Xiong, calm down, don't mess with the morale of the army." Where is the head of the sect? There may not be no way? ”

Xiong Kuohai struggled twice and couldn't break free, so he had to sit down with red eyes. All the soldiers turned pale, waiting for Cheng Mingzhen to make an idea. As far back as I can remember, the head coach can always come up with a surprise move at a critical moment. The head of the sect has never lived up to the trust of everyone. Not last time, and I guess not this time.

Cheng Mingzhen was almost out of breath by the anticipation of everyone's eyes. After searching his stomach for a while, he said in a moaning voice: "What I said just now is all my speculation, and it may not be accurate." We're just a little bit of a person, and we can't move tonight anyway. If you move, you will give the enemy an opportunity. Today's plan can only be changed with the same. Hold out all night and wait for reinforcements. If the reinforcements arrive in time tomorrow and there are enough people, it may not be impossible to turn the end around! ”
