Chapter 105: Soldiers to Gaoling
"Handsome! Zhang Xianzhong has already replied to the people we sent, and is willing to cooperate with us to attack Nanyang! Now he has begun to lead his troops to Nanyang, and the deputy general of Nanyang has led his troops to stop at Lushan and no longer march towards Ruyang! Hehe! Niu Jinxing strode into Xiao Tianjian's tent and said to Xiao Tianjian, who was leaning over to check the map.
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian straightened up and smiled: "This is good news!" It seems that Zhang Xianzhong's life is not easy during this time, otherwise, he would not listen to Mr. and wave Nanyang! ”
Niu Jinxing shook his head slightly and said: "Zhang Xianzhong is actually a very smart person, although his personality is a little perverse, but he is not reckless, after Chen Qing's interests in him, he will naturally choose to do the right thing!" At present, they are surrounded by Nanyang, just avoiding Zuo Liangyu's attack on them, and we are close to a place, once something happens, you can also use our strength, although Nanyang may not be able to fight down, but if Zhang Xianzhong is smart enough, he will not desperately attack Nanyang, after the Nanyang army returns, he should turn to the area of Wuyang Ye County, echoing us from afar, in this way, the official army will have to deal with our two at the same time, Zhang Xianzhong will be much safer! ”
Listening to Niu Jinxing's analysis, Xiao Tianjian also formed a comprehensive concept in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he smiled: "That's true!" So let's see how we do! This time, I will definitely let the people of the world see how powerful our Xingtian Army is! Hehe! Although Xiao Tianjian is very grateful to Zhang Xianzhong for helping him to send troops to Nanyang this time, he is faintly not very optimistic about the cooperation between the two sides, but this can not be said yet, let's talk about it after this battle first!
While talking to Niu Jinxing, Tietou walked into the account and reported to Xiao Tianjian and Niu Jinxing: "Qiqi Dashuai, Zu Dale has already led his troops to be less than ten miles away from us!" Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Xiao Tianjian immediately asked, "So where is Chen Yongfu's department now?" Can you follow the Zu Dale Department to keep up? ”
The iron head shook his head and said, "No! The scout reported that shortly after Chen Yongfu led his troops to leave Ruzhou, he stopped moving on, and Chen was stationed in the area under Miaoxia at the junction of Ruyang County and Ruzhou, and stationed there! At the moment, there is only one Zu Dale, who is coming towards our line! ”
"So where is Situ Liang now?"
Xiao Tianjian then asked.
"Situ Liang followed the order of the marshal, and after discovering that Zu Dale had shrunk his troops and horses and accelerated towards us, he had already gathered his troops and horses, and no longer attacked Zu Dale's department, and now he has led his troops to shrink to the area of Chenzhuang, which is twenty miles south of us!" Tietou is basically Xiao Tianjian's adjutant now, and the situation everywhere is in his hands first, and Xiao Tianjian's questions are not chaotic at all when answered.
"Excellent! Wang Jiazhen, Wang Jiazhen, is still a literati in the end, and it may be a misfortune for the court to let him run the army! Hehe! It seems that Chen Yongfu and Zu Dale must have a problem with each other, Zu Dale must have guessed that Yichuan does not have many troops, and wants to speed up the army to Yichuan and take Yichuan County! And Chen Yongfu must have been confused by Situ Liang and them, guessing that we might raid Ruzhou, no matter who they were, this time they all expected our plan wrong! Wang Jiazhen should have listened to Chen Yongfu's suggestion and left Chen Yongfu to monitor Ruyang! Hehe!
Originally, if they were killed together, it would be difficult for our troops to eat them at once, but now Wang Jiazhen has done us a great favor and let Zu Dale's department come alone, so this battle will be more certain!
Iron Head! Pass my orders, get ready, this battle can only be defeated and not won! But try to keep the chaos as close as possible! Let Li Xuanzhu come and see me! After Xiao Tianjian quickly analyzed the enemy situation in his mind, he roughly understood the thoughts of these enemies, so he immediately made a judgment and began to order.
Niu Jinxing looked at Xiao Tianjian calmly disposing of the current military situation, and admired Xiao Tianjian even more in his heart, I don't know why, after following Xiao Tianjian, watching Xiao Tianjian do things and the actions of these people around him, it always makes Niu Jinxing have an impulse, and a sense of reassurance, no matter what he does, in this group of people, he can see a vigorous atmosphere, which makes people involuntarily want to integrate into it and become a part of this group, so the more he follows Xiao Tianjian's side, Niu Jinxing did not regret his choice more and more, looking at the back of the iron head leaving, Niu Jinxing said: "Dashuai expected it very much, I didn't expect Wang Jiazhen to be so poor, if he doesn't change his plan temporarily, then this time we will really have a tough battle again!" ”
"The generals of the official army have their own thoughts, and the imperial court has always used civilian officials to control the army, so it is difficult for them not to make mistakes! Hehe! This is also the reason why the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly against Jiannu, and it is also the reason why the imperial court has repeatedly suppressed our so-called thief army! All right! Mr. Niu, clean up too! Wait a minute, when the war starts, stay by my side, and I'll be able to keep you safe!" Xiao Tianjian said with a smile.
Niu Jinxing nodded and received the order, turned around and went out of the account, and immediately someone sent him armor and helped him to put it on, now Niu Jinxing is also a treasure in Xiao Tianjian's eyes, so the armor prepared for him is also a good scale armor, and a layer of cotton armor is added to it for his safety, which is both warm and explained, and after wearing it, someone equipped Niu Jinxing with a good steel sword, which made Niu Jinxing suddenly become a lot more majestic.
Li Xuanzhu walked out of the big tent not long after entering the tent, stood outside the big tent door, shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, and then shouted and went down to start preparing.
When it was nearly noon, Zu Dale led Zu Kuan and his three thousand Guan Ning troops and two thousand auxiliary soldiers to the south side of Gaoling Village.
"Report! Lord Qiyuzu, the thief army camp has been found in the north ahead! Several horses galloped back to the front of the team and reported loudly to Zu Da Leyu.
Zu Dale grabbed the reins of the horse, nodded and said, "Can you find out the strength of the thief army?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, it has been found out that the strength of this thief army is roughly more than 2,000 people, all of them are infantry troops, and now they have left the camp to line up outside the camp, and they seem to be very panicked!" Ye Bushu replied immediately.
"Probe!" Zu Dale waved his hand.
Zu Kuan immediately lifted the horse and came to Zu Dale's side, and with a somewhat shocked expression, he whispered to Zu Dale: "My lord! How did the thieves suddenly appear in this place? According to the detailed statement, the main force of the thief army should still be in Ruyang County at the moment! Why is there an army of thieves all of a sudden? ”
Zu Dale rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, you ask me, who do I ask! But after all, it was his main business to come out this time, he pondered for a while and did not answer, but first asked his subordinates, who did not collect all night: "Can you find out if there are any other thieves around?" ”
The general manager who didn't collect this night immediately replied: "Lord Qiyu, no! The lowly subordinates have already been sent out, and they can be guaranteed that there will be no other thieves within ten miles of the surrounding area! ”
Zu Dale twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then asked, "Then how is the road ahead?" ”
"Lord Qiyu! The stone bridge leading to Yichuan County five miles ahead has been demolished by the thieves, but the thieves have erected a temporary pontoon bridge to the north of the barracks! The general replied.
Zu Dale ordered his subordinates to unfold a cowhide map for him, and watched it on it, Zu Kuan also came to the side to watch, and after the two of them glanced at each other, Zu Dale sneered: "It seems that the thief army has found out that we are going to Yichuan, so they sent such a group of men and horses to come here and demolish the stone bridge first, wanting to block our road to Yichuan!" Now I am afraid that we will not be able to stop us on the south bank of the Baijiang River, so I have left a way back for myself! ”
Zu Kuan frowned and thought about it, then nodded slightly and said, "It looks like it should be like this!" But you'd better be careful, don't let this be another trick by the thieves! ”
"It doesn't matter! Xizuo made the news clear, the main force of the thief army was still in Ruzhou, and only one soldier and horse left, presumably it was this gang of thieves! In addition, the thief army stationed by Yi Chuan has not made any major movements, could it be that they can still come up with a large army out of thin air? Zu Kuan, are you a little afraid of this gang of thieves now? Zu Dale looked at Zu Kuandao.
After hearing this, Zu Kuan's face suddenly turned red, and he immediately clenched his fists and bowed his head: "How can my lord say this!" What kind of person is a lowly person, how can you not know it? I just want to remind you to be careful! If the adults think that the lowly duty has no courage, then the lowly duty is willing to play the striker in this battle! ”
Zu Dale smiled and patted Zu Kuan's shoulder and smiled: "It's a joke!" Of course I believe you're not that kind of person! Now that there are not many thieves in this army, then we will defeat them, kill them to Yichuan, and avenge your previous revenge!" ”
When Zu Kuan arrived at this point, he had no choice, so he intervened and clenched his fists to receive the order, and began to go down to rectify the soldiers and horses, and then thousands of Guan Ning troops began to form a formation and forced towards Gaoling Village, where the Xingtian Army was located.
The residents of Gaoling Village have already run clean, and only Xiao Tianjian, the generals of the Xingtian Army, are left, but today's Xingtian Army's military appearance is too far worse than before, and the formation of the chaotic crowding together is not neat at all, and there are also generals who shout and curse in the formation from time to time, compared with before, it is simply a world of difference, only some of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army seem to be more calm.
After Zu Kuan looked at the appearance of this Xingtian army, his brows were even more furrowed, is this still the thief army that defeated him last time?
However, in an instant, Zu Kuan was immediately relieved, the Xingtian Army that defeated him in Liuquan Town can be said to be the elite, and during this time, the Xingtian Army has expanded its power in western Henan very quickly, it is said that it has increased from thousands to twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses in a short period of time, so that in such a short period of time, it is impossible to train these newly expanded soldiers into elite soldiers.
Now it seems that the thief army in front of him should be a newly formed thief army, among which the calm ones are naturally some veterans of the Xingtian Army, and those thieves who look panicked are naturally some new pawns.
Five thousand against two thousand, not to mention that most of his side are cavalry, what are you afraid of dealing with such an opponent, after Zu Kuan figured out this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his performance just now, so he immediately asked Zu Dale to fight: "My lord, let me be humble!" We must wipe out this thief army here! ”
