Chapter 297: What about victory
Let's say that after Duan Chang, the captain of the infantry army, took over the army, he ordered the whole army to advance the camp the next day, ordered Xuanzan and Ke Qing to be the front army, led 2,000 forbidden troops as the middle army, and ordered Guan Sheng to be the rear army. However, he was also extremely cautious, scattering the spies far away along the way, but the army was slowly advancing.
When the time came, the spies came to report one after another, and they all said that there was a thief camp more than ten miles away, and there was no abnormality along the way. Duan Chang gradually became reassured, so he ordered the army to speed up, and after an hour, they reached a place far from the Liangshan camp, and then chose to stop in the underground village.
It was not until noon that the camp was set up. During this period, Duan Chang did not dare to relax and led the forbidden army to stand in front of the village, but found that in the thief camp, except for a few spies who came out to watch from afar, there was no other movement. These thieves are not as good as Guan Sheng and the others said! He basically had a judgment in his heart, and he believed Ke Qing's analysis even more.
In the rear military camp, Guan Sheng was discussing with Tang Bin and Hao Siwen. Overnight, the general of the army became an insignificant marginal general guarding the rear army, although Guan Sheng didn't say anything in his mouth, he was very depressed in his heart.
"Straight lady thief, my brother is a general appointed by the imperial court, how can this very filthy lieutenant be exempted, let's stop doing it, and go back to Pudong." Tang Bin said angrily.
"Brother cautiously, how can we leave the battle formation privately when we are ordered to go out, how is this different from desertion, Captain Duan is the general of the forbidden army, since he is here, it is normal for him to command the army, let's serve with all our hearts."
Guan Sheng saw that what Tang Bin said was out of line, beware of the ears on the wall, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Although Hao Siwen was not as radical as Tang Bin, he was also very unhappy, and he said depressedly:
"Although it's not good to quit in battle, but my brother should also be careful, why is this Duan Taiwei obviously suspicious of you, so he gave up your military power. If you fight against your brother below, you won't be able to push the disease, otherwise if you win, you will say that you don't have all your strength in front of you, and if you lose, you will naturally say that you are incompetent, anyway, the two sides are not people. It's a pity that the three of us brothers wanted to make some contributions through this, but I'm afraid there will be no more opportunities. ”
Guan Sheng was speechless when he saw it, he naturally understood the current situation, if he won the next battle by luck, the great credit of that day had nothing to do with him. If he loses, then he may not be able to escape the responsibility, which will affect the two brothers. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the two of them, but his eyes were complicated and heavy.
In the early afternoon, I saw the sound of the medium cannon of the officers and men's battalion, the flags were waved frequently, and the officers and men who had eaten and rested later poured out of the camp one after another. At this time, there was also movement in the Liangshan military camp, and I saw that there was a rush inside, and a team also came out after half a ring.
"How can these soldiers and horses be called elite, I can't really figure out how they were defeated the day before yesterday."
Ke Qing stood behind Duan Qing, looked at the Liangshan soldiers and horses who were busy standing in front of him, and mocked.
Duan Chang naturally saw it in his eyes, and thought to himself, it seems that this whole army of thieves and soldiers who are in an unorganized formation, if they don't deliberately show weakness, they are lying to Guan Sheng. So he asked Ke Qing to step forward to explore the truth.
That Ke Qing was eager to try, and immediately after getting the order, he slapped his horse and killed in front of the Liangshan array and shouted and scolded, and after a while, he saw that Liangshan also came out of the formation, and he caught and fought for thirty or forty times, and the man was defeated and fled. Ke Qing was about to chase after him, but he saw another horse coming from there, so he continued to fight dozens of times, and finally the enemy general turned around and retreated in timidity.
Duan Chang saw that Ke Qing had won two battles in a row, and the thief army no longer had anyone to fight, so he ordered the whole army to press on him. The soldiers and horses of Liangshan panicked when they saw the officers and soldiers killing, and hurriedly retreated into the village and held out. The officers and soldiers were repelled by random arrows after several attacks, and when they saw that they were good, they returned to the camp in victory.
Let's say that the 2,000 forbidden troops came from the capital, and they already held their own status as superior, and they won a big victory in the battle at the beginning, and they were all full of energy, and they only regarded those veterans who were originally transferred from Hebei and Shandong as worthless. Ke Qing is more like a victorious cockfight, proud of it, and can't wait to go sideways.
That night, the barracks held a celebration wine. Ke Qing, a popular star, was praised by his colleagues and was triumphant, and after a few glasses of wine, he made a statement to Duan Chang, saying that the thieves had lost all their fighting spirit in a row, and if they went to the camp tonight, they would be able to win a big victory.
Guan Sheng sat on the side and didn't say a word, the two armies fought in the afternoon, he couldn't stay, but he also wanted to see how the forbidden army fought, so he also came to the front of the battle, and he could already conclude that Liang Shan was making a show for Duan Chang. At this time, Ke Qing, who heard this, actually wanted to attack at night, thinking that this was not going to the door to die? For a moment he couldn't bear it, so he said:
"The last general has a word here for your superiors to consider, in my opinion, the Liangshan soldiers will be judged today and the day before yesterday, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of fraud, and my subordinates think that it is appropriate to fight steadily and steadily, and they are afraid of being plotted in a hurry."
"I'm afraid this inspector was scared the day before yesterday, but in my opinion, the Liangshan thieves are no different, I'm afraid it's because the people who lead the army are judged to be two."
When Ke Qingzheng was in high spirits, he suddenly heard a defeated general questioning him, and he accepted it, and immediately scolded him mercilessly. Then he provoked:
"I will lead the troops to capture the village tonight, is this inspector willing to bet with me on the victory?"
Guan Sheng saw that he was aggressive, and ignored him and sat on his own.
But on the one hand, the generals of the forbidden army made waves one by one and deliberately asked:
"How's it negative? What about winning? ”
Ke Qing glanced at Guan Sheng, and said disdainfully: "If you lose, you will naturally worship the customs inspection as a teacher, and learn the skills of good students, if you are lucky to win, but I hope that this inspection will no longer regard himself as the descendant of the saint of Guan Guan, and ruin the reputation of the martial saint in vain." ”
It is said that Guan Sheng had no intention of working with this ignorant villain, but when he saw that he had insulted the ancestors, he was on fire at that time, and I saw him overturn the wine table in front of him, pointing at Ke Qing and scolding:
"You take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, the lord is only worried that you are dying, and you still don't know it, and you kindly remind you, but you dare to speak foul words, and I will not stop with you today!"
As soon as he scolded, Guan Sheng drew his sword and was about to step forward. Seeing this, Xuanzan hurriedly stopped his waist and hugged him, and persuaded him repeatedly:
"Brother Hugh wants to be like a villain!"
"Hey, hey! The general of the defeated army is arrogant, and the old man has become a villain. ”
Ke Qing sneered when he heard it, and everyone in the forbidden army also coaxed, and suddenly there was a lot of trouble in the tent.
Just when the two sides were tense, they were stopped by Duan Chang. Guan Sheng was angry and left the table angrily. Xuanzan looked left and right, sighed, and followed.
At night, Ke Qing led thousands of soldiers to attack the Liangshan camp, not wanting to win a big victory. The officers and men of Liangshan were completely defenseless and collapsed at the first touch, and fled into the lake through the naval army, retreating into the water. The morale of the officers and men was greatly boosted by the successive victories, and Ke Qing's limelight was even more unique for a while. And after Guan Sheng learned about this, he locked himself in the camp tent and never took a step forward. He lamented in his heart that he could not see such an obvious plan to lure the troops, and the officers and soldiers were already incurable, and the disaster was in front of them. But he also knew that there was no place for him to speak in the army, so he instructed Tang Bin and Hao Siwen to be optimistic about Houzhai and be ready to retreat at any time.
Let's say that Duan Chang won two big victories in a row overnight, and the thieves have also rushed into the water, and their confidence has skyrocketed for a while. On the one hand, he advanced the Chinese army to the lakeside, and on the other hand, he sent people to prepare ships with the Jeju government, just waiting for the capture of Yangsan and the return to the dynasty in one go. As for Guan Sheng, Xuanzan and the like, he has confirmed that they are incompetent, and they are only ordered to stay in the old camp and guard the back road.
Before I knew it, two days later, more than 100 boats of all sizes from various prefectures and counties of Jeju came to the barracks with sumptuous goods. At the moment, the two sides gathered happily, and Duan Chang and Ke Qing were praised by local officials, and they were drunk proudly.
Unexpectedly, that night, when a group of officers and soldiers were sleeping soundly, they saw that the rear camp suddenly caught fire, and then the sound of killing was heard everywhere. When Duan Chang woke up, he thought that the soldiers were drunk and making trouble, but when Ke Qing broke in in a panic, he was shocked when he said that the thieves attacked the camp. Hurriedly asked:
"Where did the thieves come from?"
"But it's the back road!" Ke Qing hurriedly replied.
"Back Road!"
Duan Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Isn't there a victory over there, praising a thousand guards? How did the thieves get by? ”
"The bad is bad for these two people, this guy must be the credit of the red eye, and maliciously let the thieves come over, even if the thieves are surrendered, it is also possible. The momentum of the captain is not good at the moment, and it is important to leave quickly. ”
Ke Qing had already thought of a scapegoat, so he picked up Duan Chang and walked out. Duan Chang was flustered for a while, so he followed.
At this time, the camp was already in chaos, there were heavy troops in front of the big lake and behind it, and the officers and soldiers were surrounded and had nowhere to escape, crying and crying for their mothers. That common scene was suddenly shocked, but Ke Qing was like a divine help, he protected Duan Chang all the way to kill, but there was no enemy, and gradually rushed out of the encirclement with dozens of horses.
"I'm afraid that this guy will be promoted and make a fortune when he returns to Beijing this time."
In the darkness, Ke Qing and the others, who stood at the entrance of the camp and watched the hasty escape, teased.
"If you don't put these vicious dogs back, how can you stay in the pass to win the tiger, how can the petty officials be the ones who suffer losses, and they will settle the accounts early." The other quipped.
"That's it, don't take care of the birdmen, and tell the brothers to close the net." Then another voice sounded.
Immediately after hearing the sound of trumpets and cannons, I saw that the surrounding areas of the official camp and the waters on the shore were brightly lit, and thousands of officers and men were surrounded by regiments, like fish in a net.
Let's say that Guan Sheng has been uneasy day and night in the past two days, and when he suddenly heard the noise in front of him that night, he knew that something was wrong, and he hurried up to lead troops to rescue, but was stopped by Tang Bin and Hao Siwen.
"Why is my brother still obsessed, these forbidden soldiers treat you as a human being, tonight's defeat of the officers and soldiers has been decided, no matter how hard you try, I'm afraid you are all scapegoats, and now you have a way to retreat, so they live or die." Tang Bin shouted at that time.
"In any case, there are still thousands of soldiers I brought out there, and they are uneasy if they don't do their part."
Guan Sheng was worried, so he came to the front of the village with a knife. Unexpectedly, the fire in front of him was bright, and a row of sergeants stood there in black pressure, and several generals immediately stepped forward, one of whom was Shi Wengong, who had a big battle with him that day.
"Brother, you can get by here, Hugh wants to let the brother below die in vain, go back to the camp first, and the younger brother has something to say." At this time, Hao Siwen persuaded again.
Guan Sheng knew that it was already difficult for him to break through the Liangshan military formation, so he sighed, and had to listen to Hao Siwen's persuasion, and fell into Mo's transfer account.
