Volume IV Chapter 18 The Trick of Deception
There is a saying: people should not be disguised, and the sea water should not be measured. 23us: Could it be that this position is a hidden master? Lu Xiangsheng decided to give him a try, he secretly lucked and punched Zhang Liwei in the face!
With a "whoosh", a fist with a sand bowl suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Liwei's eyes, "pop" Zhang Liwei covered his eyes and shouted, "Oops." ”
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and withdrew his hand, where is this guy a master, he didn't use all his strength with this punch, he can dodge it as a master, it seems that this thing is just driven crazy by hatred, he had to ask helplessly: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses Wang Jiayin has now?" ”
This seemingly terrifying punch didn't use much strength, it was just fast, so Zhang Liwei was not injured, but his eyes hurt a little, he didn't know why the Governor wanted to punch him for no reason, and after the fight, he continued to ask as if nothing had happened, he replied in shock: "Know, know, know, he now has nearly 150,000 horses." ”
Knowing that you still said that you were going to kill him, you should be Guan Yunchang and reincarnated! Lu Xiangsheng asked angrily, "Then how are you going to kill him?" ”
When Zhang Liwei heard this, he replied cautiously: "Wang Jiayin is good at drinking and greedy for glasses, and the amount of alcohol is not very good, I don't know who can get drunk after half a catty." ”
Is there something wrong with this product, how can he talk about the amount of alcohol again, he asked weakly: "What if he doesn't drink well?" ”
Zhang Liwei replied quite confidently: "The amount of wine of the last general is not blown, five or six catties of wine are fine, and ten people like Wang Jiayin can't drink me!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng is so angry, the competition on the battlefield is not the amount of alcohol, you have a fart to drink better than him, he reprimanded a little impatiently: "What if you have a good amount of alcohol, will he come to you to fight for wine?" ”
When Zhang Liwei heard this, he replied a little embarrassedly: "Well, that's not going to happen, but in the past, when he was down, he often went to my house to find me to drink, and every time he drank unconscious." ”
It seems that this thing really has a bit of a problem with his brain, Lu Xiangsheng is quite kind to his subordinates, and he patiently taught: "It used to be before, and now he is called Wang Jianfu, is there still a shortage of wine to drink?" ”
Zhang Liwei listened to Lu Xiangsheng's tone, knew that he had misunderstood himself, and quickly explained: "He naturally won't ask me to drink anymore now, but he still values me very much, and has written to me many times asking me to work with him, and has promised high-ranking officials, but I have never paid attention to him." ”
Lu Xiangsheng finally understood, it turned out that this thing was not sick in the brain, but was ready to surrender!
It's not okay to surrender by fraud, it is impossible for Wang Jiayin to have no guards around him, even if he is drunk and unconscious, there is no chance to get close to this position! He sighed helplessly: "Alas, even if he is drunk and unconscious, it is useless, it is impossible for the guards around him to watch you kill him." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liwei still replied confidently: "This governor doesn't need to worry, the general has his own way." ”
Is there any other way? Under sweat pills? That thing seems to be made up in the Water Margin, is there really such a thing in the world? Lu Xiangsheng asked curiously, "What can you do?" ”
Zhang Liwei replied hesitantly: "Wang Jiayin's brother Wang Guozhong is the last general's best friend. ”
Oh, it turns out that there is still an internal response, but it can't be done, in an army of more than 100,000, what is the difference between two people and one person? Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "What's the use of two people? ”
Zhang Liwei finally said the most critical point: "Well, two people are useless, but Wang Guozhong is now the leader of Wang Jiayin's personal guard!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and pull Zhang Liwei's arm and said: "Hahahaha, if you didn't say it earlier, it would make me foolish for a long time, if this is the case, maybe it can really be done." ”
Zhang Liwei touched his head and sneered: "Hehe, hehe, didn't you ask." ”
Lu Xiangsheng was in a good mood, and patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Young man, yes, thoughtful, loyal and fearless, you are still a general, I will promote you to a thousand presidents now, if you can really kill Wang Jiayin, I will give you another three consecutive promotions!" ”
If he is promoted to three levels in a row, he will be a deputy general, Zhang Liwei's face was flushed with excitement, but he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked again: "Then Wang Guozhong ......"
Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "As long as he can help you kill Wang Jiayin, he will also be promoted to a deputy general." ”
Wang Jiayin is a big problem for Da Ming, and his more than 100,000 thieves are well-trained and have good combat power, and if he wants to defeat him on the frontal battlefield, at least 30,000 or 40,000 lives must be filled, and that is not guaranteed to kill him.
Now that he can kill him without spending a single soldier, Lu Xiangsheng will naturally not be stingy with rewards, let alone two deputy generals, even if it is two general soldiers, he dares to give it.
He pulled Zhang Liwei to the sketch drawn by the scout, briefly introduced the terrain outside Wang Jiayin's camp, and agreed with Zhang Liwei on the time and location of the joint, so that Zhang Liwei could retreat and prepare.
Zhang Liwei walked away with excitement on his face, but Lu Xiangsheng stared at the sketch and pondered, this is a good opportunity, Wang Jiayin will definitely be in chaos as soon as the thieves die, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to defeat more than 100,000 thieves.
If you face the thieves head-on, it will not be so easy, although you have 40,000 flintlock guns, but the thieves also have 30,000 or 40,000 sword and shield soldiers, if they line up in front of the shield wall, the flintlock pistols will not do much damage, they can only rush up to fight the thieves hand-to-hand, and then the casualties will be great.
Lu Xiangsheng began to prepare intensively, first of all, it was natural to let the recruits of the Tianxiong Army be familiar with the operation of the flintlock pistol, at the beginning he wanted to let the spearmen and the guards of the Beijing camp learn the operation of the flintlock pistol, but before the practice reached this step, Zezhou was in a hurry, and he had to stop the drill and come to reinforcements. Therefore, the recruits of the Tianxiong Army still don't know how to operate the flintlock pistol, but fortunately, the operation of the flintlock pistol is not very complicated, plus there are still 20,000 elites in the Beijing camp, one person teaches one, and it won't take long to teach it.
Lu Xiangsheng is preparing here, Wang Jiayin is also preparing, it has been more than ten days since the last war, and the righteous army is almost repaired, and all the lightly wounded are basically healed; As for the seriously wounded, they are the losing side, and when they flee for their lives, a few people will run away with hundreds of pounds of comrades on their backs, so those who are seriously injured and disabled are basically left on the battlefield, and the result is naturally that they were suddenly attacked by the Beijing camp guards who cleaned the battlefield.
Having learned the lesson of the last failure, Wang Jiayin asked his infantry to make tens of thousands of giant shields, which were made by cutting the two sides of the thigh-thick wood a little flat and nailing them together, about one person tall and two people wide, looking like a small raft. This wooden shield is specially used to deal with flintlock pistols, such a thick solid wooden shield, the new flintlock pistol really can't be pierced.
This is the reason why thermal weapons emphasize infantry and artillery cooperation, this is just a wooden shield, if it is an iron shield, no matter how powerful your flintlock pistol is, it can't be penetrated, this shield array is equivalent to a manpower version of an armored car, you take a gun to fight an armored car! Of course, if there is artillery, it is different, whether it is an armored car or a shield array, a few artillery will fall apart.
Therefore, Zhu Cijiong was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with Houjin and the peasant rebels, because he knew that before there was no artillery, when encountering this kind of turtle formation, it would be a big trouble, you can't hit others, people can hit you, the archers can start throwing within a hundred steps under the protection of the shield array, arrows can be thrown with arcs, flintlock pistols can not be thrown, no matter how powerful you are when you encounter this style of play, you have to kneel.
