Chapter 432: Playing in the Rain (3)

The siege of Tianbaozhai was a complete victory.

Although the walls of Tianbao Village are strong, it is a typical single-layer defense system. The core of defense is a wall. If the wall is lost, the defender will not only not be able to take advantage of the defense, but will be condescendingly pressed by the attacker who occupies the wall.

Therefore, when the wall was blown down, the military spirit of the local tyrants was immediately shaken. They did not wait for the Protectors to rush into the gap, and then they scattered and fled. Only one hundred and ten tenacious Tyrants, led by an enemy chief in white robes and silver armor, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the influx of Protectors.

The white-robed and silver-armored enemy chief was not only handsome, but also had good marksmanship. He made an iron spear, and the spear danced impermeable. shouted several times, and stabbed several Protector soldiers to death.

However, the Protectors will not allow the enemy chieftain to go unchecked for long.

The artillery company dismantled a head cannon and carried several parts onto the wall with manpower. When the enemy chief saw the protectors in front of him fleeing away like a receding tide, and was complacent about his invincible marksmanship, he saw a flash of red light in the distance, and he and the surrounding thugs were beaten into a blood-leaking sieve by the locust-like iron!

The enemy chieftain was killed on the spot, and the remnants of the party were either killed or surrendered.

Many local thugs who fled to the bottom of the mountain were also caught. Because a small ditch at the bottom of the mountain was flooded by the collected rainwater, and turned into a rushing river of mud.

Several of the thugs who ventured across the river were instantly engulfed by the raging flood, and they didn't even have time to scream. I saw their hands waving desperately in the waves a few times, and then they disappeared. In desperation, the remaining local thugs threw away their swords and guns, knelt in the mud and raised their mud-yellow claws, and surrendered to the Protector Army rushing down the mountain like a tiger.

There are also local rioters who fled to the official roads leading to Enyang and Bazhou, but their fate is even more tragic. On the official road, the local thug was suddenly charged and killed by Dong Bu's cavalry, and in a short time, the corpses frozen in the mud dyed the road into a river of mud intertwined with red and brown. It turned out that Dong Bu's cavalry, which planned to reinforce Yuxichang, was also blocked by the flash flood, so they had to turn back to Tianbaozhai, just in time for the massacre.

The two squadrons in the southern county that searched under the mountain beam also made some gains. They drove out the scattered sporadic thugs from the bushes, from the grass, and even through the cracks in the stones, and gathered them together on the main road.

Yang Tianbo and Yao Chengguo climbed up to the stone village one after the other. Yang Tianbo didn't wait to catch his breath, and immediately reported to Feng Rubao: "Battalion commander, I have identified it by the local tyrant, and the white-robed enemy chief is Ma Chao from Yao Huang's thirteenth family!" Whether Ma Chao is the real name of the enemy chieftain, no one among the local tyrants knows. ”

Feng Rubao scolded contemptuously: "The eldest husband is a hero, if you don't change your name, you won't change your surname!" Now he is dead like a leper dog, and he is worthy of being called the Five Tiger Generals! ”

In order not to affect his family, the local tyrant will give himself a nickname when he debuts. Even the big thief chiefs such as Zhangpan, who have been famous for a long time, may not necessarily announce their real names and places of origin. For example, the tyrant who attacked Bazhou seized the king of food, and so far the military intelligence bureau does not know his name.

The education level of the local rioters is generally very low, so everyone's nickname is strange, and there are people who fly from the sky to run underground. Due to the wide spread of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" among the people, the heroes in the book have been unanimously favored by the local tyrants, and the local tyrants called Ma Chao do not know how many, but only this dead Ma Chao has become a climate for a few years. This Ma Chao once echoed with the leader of the local rioters in Kuizhou, and posed a serious threat to Daning County in Kuidong. Later, the two turned their faces for some reason, broke through the sky and seized Ma Chao's territory, and Ma Chao had no choice but to run to Bashan to do harm. In the latest report of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Ma Chao and Shunhu Chao Tianxing Liang Shizheng were wrapped together and besieged Jia Denglian in the Copper Walled City.

"Soldier Copper Walled City!" Feng Rubao jumped on a stone, pointed to the north, and gave orders to his subordinates on his toes.

"Report to the battalion commander!" Yao Chengguo stepped forward without hesitation and interrupted Feng Rubao's performance.

"The task force did not appoint a battalion-level supervisor. Now that I'm the highest-ranking supervisor of the task force, I'm asking to act as a battalion supervisor! ”

No overseers? Yao Chengguo's words made Feng Rubao subconsciously sober up.

This is certainly not a mistake of the little master!

Feng Rubao's smart head immediately thought of dozens of possibilities, but he didn't expect his eldest brother and third brother who were rushing forward and slashing and killing in the two state capitals of Da and Kui.

It's better to have a prison guard by your side than nothing!

After all, Feng Rubao was born in the Shu Palace, and this political sensitivity is still there. He immediately put away his ruffian-like smile, nodded solemnly to Yao Chengguo, agreed to his request, and formally asked him to act as the battalion supervisor.

This is exactly what Yao Chengguo wants.

Hundreds of thugs were tied up in a long line by ropes and were being escorted onto the road by the Southern County Brigade. They need to be screened, they need to be reinvented, they need to gather intelligence. When all this work is done, these captives will be a good labor force and a good teaching material for warning education in the Bashan area.

Yao Chengguo greeted his partner, found the intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau surnamed Ren among the large group of soldiers who cleaned up the booty, and then walked down the hillside to the avenue below.

……

The rain seemed to be much lighter, turning into a thin line of rain.

Yang Tianbo looked up at the dim skylight, and tore the stuffy oilcloth on his head, exposing the eight-petal iron helmet on his head to the rain.

There is no doubt that the rainwater that falls here will collect into the dam river ahead, so will the dam river still be able to pass?

This big question related to victory and defeat weighed heavily on Yang Tianbo's heart. As the vanguard of the whole battalion, the second company of the 10th battalion had to undertake the heavy task of opening roads and building bridges in the mountains. If the Dam River cannot be crossed, the task force will be forced to stay on the south bank, a stone's throw away from the hard-fought Jaden, but can only watch and wait!

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in front attracted Yang Tianbo's idea. He saw several horsemen rushing in his direction in the drizzle, led by a great general, tall and mighty, with a beard, wearing a silver helmet with phoenix wings, iron armor with mountain patterns, and a red cloak on his shoulders. That person Yang Tianbo knew, it was Dong Bu Gyatso, the commander of the Dong Bu Cavalry Battalion.

Dongbu Gyatso apparently also saw Yang Tianbo in front of the long infantry queue. He restrained his horse beside Yang Tianbo, shouted at him in Chinese with a strong accent, and asked Yang Tianbo if he was the leader.

Yang Tianbo left the queue to salute Dongbu Gyatso, and the queue continued to move forward.

"The next officer is Yang Tianbo, the commander of the second company of the 10th battalion. This company also commanded a company of engineers and a platoon of engineers, and was ordered to be the vanguard of the whole army! ”

"That's good!" Dongbu Gyatso happily shouted to Yang Tianbo, "Just tell you about it!" At the end of the road is by the river and there is a bridge. The bridge deck was burned down by the thugs, but the piers are still ......."

"How can the piers stay?" Yang Tianbo was a little puzzled.

"The piers are of stone!" Dongbu Gyatso said.

Great! Yang Tianbo suddenly became excited.

With the piers, you can easily cross the river with bamboo rafts! He turned away, and his young but energetic faces swept across his eyes.

Yang Tianbo raised his arms high, waved his palms forward, and shouted loudly to the queue: "All of them, forcibly march!" The Dam River crossing must be captured before dark! ”

……

A sky-high fire burned out the fishing creek field victory. However, the initiator of the great victory, Zhang Zuokai, the deputy general of the Chu army, caused himself big trouble: his subordinates almost mutinied, and the leader was Cheng Weiguo, a thorn in the camp who became famous in the camp for holding the barn.

After the battle, the soldiers of the Chu army guarding the barn, led by Cheng Weiguo, took the lead in clamoring, and then the soldiers of Yuxi Temple also came in. The mutinous soldiers found Zhang Songkai in a fierce manner and asked why the master would burn Master Ma Ganma to death?

Cheng Weiguo yelled at Zhang Zuokai, who was lying on the ground, that the reason why the brothers fought desperately was for Master Ma's promise to join the National Protector Army after the war and divide the land and land. Now that Master Ma is dead, this promise has come to naught!

Cheng Weiguo cares about Ma Gan, how can Zhang Zuokai not care? The death of Ma Gan, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison, will inevitably be reported to the imperial court, and his military exploits will be wasted, and the final outcome is whether to win or lose is still a matter of two theories! Cheng Weiguo wants to divide the land and land, how can Zhang Zuokai not want to? It's just that Cheng Weiguo thinks about farming for himself and his family, and Zhang Zuokai thinks according to his habit, which is to include the land given by the prince into the hands of himself and a few cronies and family members!

So when Cheng Weiguo mentioned the division of fields and land, Zhang Zuokai, who was exposed to his hole cards, was finally furious. Regardless of his injuries, he struggled to get up to enforce military law against Cheng Weiguo.

One side wants to enforce military law, but the other side does not budge. The two sides of the confrontation immediately showed their knives and guns, and they were about to fight when they saw it.

However, Cheng Weiguo's proposition was supported by most of the grassroots soldiers, and even many middle- and lower-ranking officers also sided with him. The fire is rising, and Zhang Xiangkai's family may not be able to take advantage. Moreover, Zhang Zuokai's confidant Li Xiangchun disappeared in the fire, and Zhang Zuokai himself was injured in the cavalry charge, and his entire right arm was red and swollen, and it is estimated that he was injured to the bone. Therefore, in terms of momentum, Zhang Zuokai's side quickly fell below, and was surrounded by soldiers with knives and guns who were disappointed and angry.

Maybe in the next second, Zhang Zuokai will be chopped into meat sauce by the soldiers.

At this moment, Master Ma Ganma appeared in time. He and Yang Mingshi led hundreds of soldiers who held the core position to appear in front of Cheng Weiguo and the mutinous soldiers.

Hope was rekindled, and the soldiers quickly cheered, letting Ma Gan's heart hang in the air relax. Both he and Yang Mingshi hoped to immediately send troops to pursue the fleeing local rioters, and turn the partial victory in Yuxichang into a complete victory for the official army against the local rioters in northern Sichuan. However, Zhang Zuokai's injury, Li Xiangchun's disappearance, and the current confrontation between officials and soldiers made them realize that the pursuing commander must have the support and support of the soldiers.

In the end, Ma Gan took advantage of his power and prestige to designate Yang Mingshi as the chief general of the pursuing force, Cheng Weiguo and a Wang surnamed Qianhu who guarded Yuxi Temple as deputy generals, and led about 1,000 soldiers who volunteered to participate in the battle to go out of the camp overnight to pursue, while the remaining about 700 family members and soldiers who were willing to continue to follow Zhang Zhuokai stayed in Yuxichang.

Yuxichang was victorious, and Zhang Zuokai's Chu military camp was divided, and each embarked on a different path of life.

Zhang Zuokai lost most of the battle-hardened veterans, but he did not gain nothing: the tens of thousands of corpses on the battlefield became his battle exploits. In particular, in a pile of human and horse corpses in the ruins somewhere in the field, the soldiers found a charred corpse. On the ground around the charred corpse, a large clear trace of oil stains was reflected. According to the scabbard and jade pendant left on the scorched corpse, the captives identified that this scorched corpse was none other than Wang Youjin, the king of predators.
