Chapter 400: The Storm Rises (1)

On the top of the hexagonal watchtower outside the Jincheng Walled City, the short Shi Yunxiao stepped on two layers of rice bags and looked in the direction of the Golden Walled City.

In the early morning, there is a layer of mist in the hills and mountains. The mist is like a light veil, gently covering the undulations of the hills, making the scenery and characters in the distance not very clear.

The local tyrant built an earthen barrier at the foot of the mountain road in the south of Jincheng Walled, more than 100 steps away from the hexagonal block, which is exactly the limit of the range of two lifting guns. A few hundred paces away from the hexagonal tower, hundreds of local rioters were resting sitting and lying.

The local thugs attacked Hexagonal Diaoto and Jincheng Walled City last night, and they wanted to pick up a soft persimmon, but they didn't want to hit a hard stone.

The hexagon is the first to spot the enemy, and then sounds the alarm with a bell. As soon as the sound of the gun sounded, one hundred and ten torches suddenly appeared on the wall of the Jincheng Walled Wall, illuminating the local thugs who were secretly engaged in rock climbing under the wall, and there was nowhere to hide. The local thug left his brother hanging on the cliff and fled down the mountain road in panic, killing and injuring more than a dozen people. fled to the foot of the mountain, and was hit head-on by the lifting gun on the hexagonal block, and left several people behind.

In the end, the local rioters decided that the real threat was the hexagonal blockade that was stuck in the mountain beam, so they concentrated their forces on the hexagonal block.

However, the attack was devastating: the gate of the hexagonal block, although it was made of wood, was built right between two protruding sharp corners. The thug who was holding the wood and hitting the door was squeezing into the sharp corners to exert his strength, but in the darkness, a gunpowder jar was silently lowered on the roof of the building. A rope was tied to the gunpowder jar, just the length of the jar to allow it to explode above the crowd. The ending is self-evident, human flesh and blood have seen the explosion of natural forces, and only then did they suddenly realize how small and fragile they are compared to nature!

The thugs fled in panic and found nothing in the night raid, leaving behind a dozen corpses and a pile of rotten meat, and giving the Protectors a thick, long log.

But perhaps knowing that there are not too many defenders in Jincheng and Hexagonal Towers, it is impossible to take the initiative to come out to fight with the local rioters, and now the local rioters are relieved and bold to rest in the field of vision of the Hexagonal Towers, preparing for the second round of large-scale attacks.

"It would be nice if there were cannons, one cannon could bring those turtle sons' king's nest to the end!"

Shi Yongxiao turned a blind eye to the local thugs around him who were preparing to attack, but pointed to the earthen fortress at the foot of the Nanzhai Gate and said hatefully to the officers around him:

"Now that the thugs are stuck between us and the stockade, our supplies are cut off! The order was sent that food, water, gunpowder, arrows, and all military resources should be saved. Two meals in the morning and evening, with only one pot helmet for each meal, except for winning battles; Water is a gourd per person per day, drinking water, gargling, and washing your face are all in it! You are the platoon commander and personally supervise the distribution. Tell the brethren that our task is not to keep it for three or five days, but to keep it for a month! ”

The platoon leader's name is Zhou Biao, and he is a young man who has just turned twenty. Zhou Biao and Zhou Changzhong have a bit of a blood relationship with Wufu, served as a county official, guarded the city, and killed local tyrants. When he heard the deputy company commander's order, he replied yes sullenly, and then reluctantly pointed to the local tyrants who were waiting to attack: "Deputy company commander, it is not a long-term way for us to be trapped by the local tyrants like this, we must let them come and die quickly!" ”

"Hurry up and die?" As soon as Zhou Biao's words came out, Shi Yongxiao's head was running rapidly.

Dared?!

A spark burst out.

"Choose five people to go out with axes," Shi Yongxiao shouted, "cut off the head of the corpse of the thug!" When the local thugs attack, we will collect our troops! ”

……

Thirty miles south of the Golden Walled City.

Last night's fire had been extinguished, and everything that could be burned had been reduced to ashes in the flames and heat. There was a little mist in the morning, and the fog wrapped up the fire, and also absorbed the choking smell of soot in the fire, which could not be dissipated for a long time.

Bang, bang! Yuan Keyi, a mountain tiger with a round belly like a mountain boar, couldn't help coughing twice.

"Brother! We have suffered a loss! A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy beside Yuan Keyi scolded hatefully: "Everything has been burned out, and even our own brothers have taken it into the Hundred and Ten." It's good now, all the fires are burned, and there is no one alive or dead! As for the gold, silver, treasure, grain, and clothes, I didn't see a single hair! Lao Tzu now knows why the righteous army is hiding everywhere like a fucking mouse when they see the Wangfu army. Fight once and lose once, who the fuck wants to fight like this? ”

"Don't fight, don't eat!" Yuan Keyi squinted and scolded the second brother, "Others suffer, why didn't Lao Tzu suffer?" Lao Tzu has no other skills, just one is better than others: run fast! ”

"You're right!

A few sycophants came up, and you said to me: "Even if the Tumen Field is burned out, we can still go to fight the New Deal Dam." I heard that the grain and clothing of the new deal dam are piled up......"

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy pouted and squinted: "It's okay to fight, but be ready to retreat at any time!" If he was fucking wrapped up in the mountains by the royal army, Lao Tzu would lose even more this time! ”

Hearing that the second eldest Yuan Ketai agreed, the eldest Yuan Keyi was happy. He put his arm around the thin shoulders of his second brother and shouted an order to his subordinates: Hurry up and pack up the guys and go to the New Deal Dam to grab things!

……

More than 40 miles west of Enyang, the fishing creek field is the base camp of more than 4,000 people in the Chu army Zhang Zuokai. Hearing that Wang Chaoyang's troops behind him had rebelled in Baoning Mansion, Zhang Zuokai quickly stopped his offensive against Enyang and gradually shrank back to Yuxichang, the base of the Bashan front.

A small courtyard by the Yuxi River is the residence of Ma Gan, the front-line commander of the Bazhou offensive and the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison. On the evening of the 26th day of the first lunar month, Ma Gan received a letter from Liao Daheng and immediately called Zhang Zuokai, the deputy general of the next-door neighbor, and Yang Mingshi, the supervisor and Ji Tongzhi, to discuss.

Zhang Zuokai is a veteran with a national face, hanging eyebrows, and a sheep's beard.

A native of Sichuan, devoted himself to the Chu army. started as a small soldier, and after a battle of corpses and a sea of blood, he was promoted to the chief general of an army. In addition to the great fortune and great life, there must also be some real skills.

However, since Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan the year before last, Zhang Zuokai's life has been a little bad. First of all, he was defeated on the battlefield, lost his troops and lost his army, and lost his news. The generals who have relied on their henchmen for many years have died and been wounded, and the vitality of the army has been greatly damaged, and the remaining generals are only Li Xiangchun. Then he was almost impeached by Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan, for the crime of cowardice and lost his official hat because of his greed for Baoning Mansion.

In this Bazhou offensive, Zhang Zuokai led the attack in the middle, and the Sichuan governor Liao Daheng specially sent Ma Gan, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison, to sit in Zhang Zuokai's middle army, and ordered Yang Mingshi, the supervisor to accompany the prison army, which was clearly distrustful of him.

The imperial court system, the civil servants led the troops. As soon as Ma Gan came, he deprived Zhang Zuokai of his military power in disguise, making him the executor of Ma Gan's orders. However, although the officialdom battlefield was unfavorable, Zhang Zuokai did not complain too much about Ma Bingbei and Yang Jianjun. Because Ma Gan is an easy-going official, he is not big, and he is willing to make friends with military generals, and because of his arrival, the 4,000 people of Zhang Zuokai's department finally have more abundant supplies.

In the small room, Ma Gan, who was dressed in a red robe, quietly glanced at Zhang Zuokai, who was holding the text in his hand and making a contemplative appearance, and then turned his head slightly and glanced at Yang Mingshi, the same knowledge of the prison discipline.

The sky is about to dawn, and time is running out. If no decisive action is taken, Liao Fu's text makes it very clear: "There is a danger of the destruction of the whole army!" ”

The superintendent was a temporary officer. Yang Mingshi was originally a governor of the Yamen of the Judicial Division, but as a result, he was recommended by Liu Zhibo and went to this bloody battlefield.

He looked at Zhang Zuokai, who was silent, and finally spoke: "General Zhang has not given orders for a long time, is it doubtful about Liao Fu's judgment?" It must be known that Liao Fu is now with the son. The son of the world, everyone in Shu knows, the sky is talented, and the heroic is the world! In the first battle of Guang'an, Jiang Chengren was shaken by the formation, and the black tiger Shuntian Star Wang Gao and Wang Guangxing were annihilated, and the demon was captured alive He Jiaqi, persuaded to surrender and forced the anti-king Liu Weiming, tens of thousands of thieves, no one dared to fight the edge! The court bullshit system, Zongfan can't lead the troops. The prince respects the heavens and the ancestors, and he doesn't want to fall into the hands of traitors, and he is worried about the safety of the officers and soldiers, so he asked Liao Futong to pass on the enemy's situation. General Zhang has received Liao's order to care for his relatives, why is he still suspicious? ”

Yang Jianjun's words meant one by one, and he did not hesitate to explode foul language to demean the court, which had forced Zhang Zuokai into a corner. Zhang Zuokai couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Soldier and Master Discipline, the last general will not dare to doubt the prince and Liao Fu. Liao Fuwei made it clear in his article that the local thugs might immediately launch a fierce attack on our army. The last general thought that because of this, the troops should be withdrawn immediately and the whole army should be re-fought. If you stick to this place and are surrounded by local thugs, you won't be able to leave if you want to! ”

Zhang Zuokai really still wants to escape!

When Ma Gan heard this, his face couldn't help but become gloomy. He snorted coldly and said: "Liao Fuyu said more clearly in the article, the local tyrants must have set up an ambush on the retreat of our army, and as soon as our army's position moves, they will be killed in a big way." At this moment, the spirit of the army must not be shaken! General Zhang is old in military affairs, and he should know that 'the general is the courage of the soldier, and the handsome is the soul of the army'! ”

Yang Mingshi also helped: "Now that our army has plenty of food and strong camps, it is an opportunity to fight to the death with the local tyrants!" Yuxi is only forty miles away from Enyang, and it is only forty or fifty miles away from General Jia's headquarters. As long as our army holds out for thirty years, reinforcements will come! At that time, the general will be a guest general in the community......"

Say

Speaking of which, it's this reinforcement that is fatal! ”

Zhang Zuokai saw that he was talking, and he no longer bent around with the two civil officials who were good at rhetoric, and he couldn't win anyway.

"Yuxi is a small flat dam. Our army is guarding here, with Daba Mountain in the north, deep hills and mountains in the south, and ravines on the east and west sides. From Qianfochang to Yuxichang, more than 80 miles of mountain roads; From Langzhong City to Thousand Buddha Field, whether by water or land, it is more than 100 miles. When can we wait for reinforcements? Besides, Wang Chaoyang rebelled, and the royal soldiers all went to fight Wang Chaoyang. How long will it take to wait for the royal army of Guang'an to come? The intention of the last general, taking advantage of the fact that the local tyrants have not yet been surrounded on all sides, immediately withdraw the army, at least to the Thousand Buddha Field. In the event of an unfavorable war, the last general will immediately requisition grain ships and withdraw down the river to the ...... of Hexiguan"

What Zhang Zuokai said is the truth. But if he retreated, although he was saved, it would ruin all the gains made in the past few months, and would leave Jaden's forces to an isolated death.

"Those who violate the order will be beheaded", this is a military law since ancient times, does Zhang Zuokai dare to disobey the military order?

Ma Gan's angry face could no longer be concealed. He Fei (HE) got up suddenly, untied the sword on his body, and threw it in front of Zhang Zuokai with a snap:

"General Zhang, you can escape, but this official will never escape! This official Chongzhen has been in the township for six years, and he knows Guang'an Prefecture. Offering thieves into Sichuan, Shao Fu ordered the official to do the affairs of the Kuizhou government. This official held Kuizhou for more than 20 days, until Yang Sichang's reinforcements arrived!

Now the prince and Liao Fu are leading the army to fight a decisive battle with the local tyrant in Bashan. Our soldiers are well fed and their morale is high. The people of Shu are looking forward to a war and annihilating the tyrants, Shuzhong will be peaceful from now on, and the people will be safe from now on! Our husband has made great achievements, and he will be crowned a marquis immediately, at this time! Now that Wang Xiang has captured Bazhou, Jia Ying and my battalion have more than 10,000 troops, and they are only a stone's throw away from Bazhou! At this time, we are the pawns who cross the river, we can only move forward, and we must not retreat half a minute!

This official's ugly words are ahead, if General Zhang retreats against the order, he will be punished by military law in the future! Blessings and misfortunes, please choose for yourself! ”

Seeing that Ma Gan was excited, Zhang Zuokai also regretted it. Originally, it was a fake drama and a real singing, but it turned out to be a serious export, and it became a real drama and a real singing.

When Zhang Zuokai was hesitating, Yang Mingshi came out of the round and said: "For a general, beware is like an iron stone." The slightest hesitation will summon a catastrophe! If General Zhang immediately summoned soldiers to strengthen the camp, it is not too late to hold on for a long time! ”

"That'...... The last general of the first battalion of soldiers...... Follow the last general for many years. If he is killed or disabled in battle, the last general will ......" Zhang Zuokai swallowed.

However, his words were immediately interrupted by Ma Gan: "The prince once made an oath to the soldiers at the Zhaozhong Temple: the soldiers will fight for the country, the wounded will be raised, the dead will be buried, and the family will live safely. As for the casualties and losses of your battalion, this officer is responsible for asking the prince to make up for it! How much you lose, how much the official replenishes for you! ”

"What if the son of the world does not allow it? The Ministry of War is archived, my battalion is the Chu army! ”

"What about the home army and the away army! Luzhou horse test is not the main army? Jia Denglian is not Chu Jun? The prince does not distinguish between the host and the guest, just see if he can fight or not! ”

Zhang Zuokai got Ma Qian's conclusive assurance, and a trace of joy finally flashed in his eyes. Jia Denglian had already written to him, explaining the benefits of his refuge in the world. Today's cozy attitude in front of Ma Gan, although he has lost his officialdom image, but after all, he has to get the benefits he wants.

Retreat in front of the enemy, that's a stupid thing for a stupid person to do! People can run, so much food and military funds can't run!

At this time, Zhang Zuokai no longer hesitated, turned around and walked out of the main hall with the handle of the knife in his hand.

"Li Xiangchun!"

Zhang Zuokai stood under the eaves outside the main hall and yelled out. A sturdy and tall man then ran in from the gate of the courtyard with his helmet and armor.

"Order the whole battalion, strengthen the barracks, and wait for the day! At dawn at the latest, the thugs will besiege them on all sides! You take 500 soldiers from your headquarters out and stick to the mountain beams in the south of the town, and half of the soldiers are not dead, you are not allowed to retreat! How much you die, Ben will replenish for you! ”

"The last will be ordered!" Li Xiangchun ran out again in the blink of an eye.

An hour later, it was getting dark.

Ma Gan, Zhang Zuokai and Yang Mingshi, as well as the 4,000 officers and soldiers who had been waiting, finally appeared in the east of the town. However, when they saw the formation of the local tyrants, they were still taken aback:

I saw that the mountains were crowded with people, and the earthy brown figure kept pouring out. The neighing of people and horses turns the silent valley into a noisy bustling city.

The army of the local tyrants is no less than 20,000, and maybe more. This is the unanimous judgment of Zhang Zuokai and Ma Gan.
