Chapter 301: The Prestige of the Undefeated General

A light rain fell from the sky, sprinkling on the potholed roads of Jianning Mansion, and with every step of the boot, thick soil was sticking to it, like a heavy march. The sound of hurried footsteps sounded on the crowded ancient road, and the Zhejiang soldiers were all exhausted and out of breath.

The red steed shook his neck gently, the cool raindrops fell on Hou Xuanyan's cheeks, looking up at the cloudy and miserable sky, his brows were furrowed, but his heart gradually calmed down.

Marching and fighting is not child's play, and arrogance is always a hidden danger of destruction, and this time there are so many soldiers and horses that are different from the past, these people are subordinate to each other, and they have no experience in coordinating with each other. If he attacks rashly, it is very likely that Li Chengdong's dog thief will have a chance to take advantage of it. Thinking of this, he waved his hand lightly and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, slow down the march, and maintain the formation." ”

Qian Sule nodded secretly, this is the bearing that a general should have, no matter how deep his personal grievances are, he should not lose his mind as a general. Seeing Hou Xuanyan's ugly face, Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji glanced at each other and stepped forward together. Qian Sule coughed lightly and said: "Guogong, the front is Chong'an, we didn't bring much artillery this time, Chong'an's city wall is very well repaired in Fujian, do you want to transfer Wu Shengzhao's artillery battalion from Jiangxi to come?" ”

"Artillery is a siege weapon, but it is also a good hand at defending cities. We don't have an advantage over the Zheng family's artillery, we have to find a way, otherwise even if Chong'an City is defeated, it will cost too much price. There are still a lot of cities waiting for us in Fujian, do you have a good idea to take Chong'an without blood? Hou Xuanyan tightened the reins of his horse, stopped on the side of the road, and watched the Zhejiang soldiers advance in the rain one by one.

Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji stopped to the side together, the water on the cloak flowed down their backs, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

"Fighting a war is nothing more than the right time, place and people, Li Chengdong occupies Chong'an, backed by Wuyi Mountain, and occupies the best geographical advantage. Today it was raining again, the roads were muddy, the soldiers were tired, and the day was not with me. The hearts of the people of Fujian are loyal to the Zheng family's traitors, from the officials and officials, down to the peddlers and pawns, everyone is willing to serve Zheng Zhilong, and we have lost people. If I want to win him, I don't see a trick, it's hard to win. Sun Jiaji is not a naturally pessimistic person, but he can't say anything to raise his anger at this moment. In his opinion, it is the best policy to stick to Xianxia Pass, waiting for the Hunan soldiers to win in Liangguang, and then to attack Fujian. This is also the reason why he builds fortifications in Xianxia Pass every day.

Although Sun Jiaji and Qian Sule, the generals of Zhejiang, are the leaders of the Zhejiang soldiers, they always believe that the combat power of the Hunan soldiers is better than that of the Zhejiang soldiers. Hou Xuanyan could understand their thoughts, after all, the Hunan soldiers had better records, especially in the last battle of Jingxiang.

"Soldiers, treacherous. To fight a war is to use strategy, otherwise everyone will compare their strength on paper, and whoever is strong will listen to whom, why still use war. Hou Xuanyan sighed, and began to think in his heart if there was a way, after all, this time he fought in Fujian, which was the most unpopular battle among the local gentry and people that he had never had. As Sun Jiaji said, this time the time and place are favorable, and none of them are on their side.

"Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fight with people, the fun is endless! No matter what the time and place are right, this place in Fujian, the fat meat of the Zheng family, I will eat it. Hou Xuanyan half cheered himself up, half comforted Qian and Sun, and after finishing speaking, he rode up and continued to rush to Chong'an with the army.

A trace of worry flashed in the eyes of Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji, and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted behind them: "Where is Guogong?" ”

The two of them looked back, and it was a knight in Xuanyi, and they knew by looking at the outfit that it was the notorious hidden elephant camp, and the two of them unconsciously made way for him. The person who came followed the guidance of the little soldier, came to Hou Xuanyan's side, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Guogong, there is an urgent military situation here, and I want to report it to Guogong alone." After speaking, he took out a secret scroll, Hu Bawan bent down to take it, and handed it to Hou Xuanyan.

Hou Xuanyan became suspicious, and opened the sealed secret scroll, only to see that it was written: Zheng Du, the thief of the Zheng family, transported troops from the sea and raided Wenzhou Mansion in Zhejiang. Even Pingyang, Ruian, Yongjia, Wenzhou is in danger.

This battle is getting more and more tricky, as strong as the Manchu Qing Dynasty has never caused such trouble to Hou Xuanyan, after all, he is a figure called the king of pirates in the Age of Discovery, if Wenzhou is lost, the rest of the Zheng family can lead troops from Wenzhou to the north.

Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji stepped forward together and asked in unison, "What's the news?" ”

Hou Xuanyan tore up the secret scroll and said loudly: "It's nothing, Zheng Du's sneak attack on Wenzhou has been repulsed." We hurry up and take Chong'an, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that he will not continue to attack other prefectures and counties in Liangzhejiang. ”

Qian Sule was frightened and said: "Fortunately, we were repulsed, otherwise we would be in a dilemma at this time, I didn't expect Zheng Du to be so arrogant, knowing that we were attacking Fujian, he not only did not defend, but also took the initiative to attack." I don't think this kid is taking us seriously. ”

Hou Xuanyan chuckled, and said lightly: "It's okay, as long as Chong'an is taken and Jianning Mansion is swept away, their old nest Fuzhou will be exposed in front of our eyes." In this way, these bastards don't want to go anywhere. Speaking of this, Hou Xuanyan's eyes flashed fiercely, and his voice became a little muffled: "Even if you go, you have to come back obediently to guard the nest." ”

Once the news of Zheng Du's attack on Zhejiang from the sea spread, all the soldiers and horses in Fujian were natives of Zhejiang, and it was inevitable that the army would be unstable. Even if you return to the division, you will be covered up and killed, and you will suffer heavy losses. The only way at the moment is to win as soon as possible, use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and force Zheng Du back to defend Fuzhou.

Walking through the rugged ancient road, an intersection suddenly appeared in front of him, and Hou Xuanyan asked, "How should I go ahead?" ”

Sun Jiaji had long been familiar with the map of Fujian, pointed to the left and said: "Go up is Chong'an, down is Jianyang." ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "Where do you say you should go?" ”

Sun Jiaji paused for a moment and said: "Of course it's Chong'an, Li Chengdong fled to Chong'an, we won't encircle him, stay behind, and there will be endless troubles." ”

"Li Chengdong is my enemy, this is known to the world, right? Everyone knows that I, Hou Xuanyan, must kill Li Chengdong, and I think Jianyang's defenders think the same way. ”

Sun Jiaji's eyes lit up and said, "Guogong? He was still not sure that Hou Xuanyan was really willing to let go of Li Chengdong. After all, their hatred is too deep. In this era, the hatred of killing his father is no longer shared, let alone killing the whole family and the whole city.

Hou Xuanyan said lightly: "I am the commander of the three armies, how can I only care about my own revenge, or it is more important to lead everyone to win the battle." Li Chengdong let it go this time, and he can continue to arrest him next time, and none of the soldiers will be killed or injured. ”

Now that the enemy is in front of him, and he still has more soldiers and horses in his hands, Yue Guogong actually wants to focus on the overall situation. The officers and soldiers of the three armies didn't know the battle situation in Wenzhou, but they thought that Hou Xuanyan was righteous and awe-inspiring, and they admired it to the point of no return.

"Let's go south, first hit Jianyang, then Jianning, and finally Jian'an. Let Li Chengdong, the eighth thief, hide in Wuyi Mountain and drink tea. "On the cliff of Wuyi Mountain, there are four extinct Dahongpao, the only four in the world, the annual production of tea is limited, and it is difficult to pick. When Qian Sule heard that Hou Xuanyan was still idle and laughing, he didn't think much about it.

------

In Chong'an City, Li Chengdong's subordinates were also panicked, and they didn't know the news of Zheng Du's attack on Wenzhou. These people are like abandoned children, and they were thrown in Jianning Mansion to block the Zhejiang soldiers, as if this is their mission.

The shadow of the famous tree, although Li Chengdong and his henchmen look down on Hou Xuanyan, but they have not been defeated after all. An undefeated commander, in the eyes of the enemy, is simply a source of terror. The little soldiers under their command, as soon as they heard Hou Xuanyan's name, their hands holding guns trembled.

In the government office of Chong'an County, officials and generals gathered together, with Chong'an officials on the left and military generals in the army on the right, standing under Li Chengdong together.

The big tent was depressed, everyone was silent, the loss of Puxian County gave these people a blow to the head, and the long-term comfort made them think that Fujian was a place away from the war. Even in the days when the Qing soldiers ravaged Jiangnan, they did not delay their peace.

What happened to Puxian County made these people feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and the cloud of death shrouded them.

Li Chengdong sneered again and again, and his voice was like thunder: "I believe you also know, this time it was Hou Xuanyan who personally led the troops, and he had already taken advantage of my unpreparedness to defeat Puxian." Poor Bai County ordered to sacrifice his life for the country and died tragically to the enemy. Hou Xuanyan is not a good person, do you know how Bai Chongzan died? He was dragged off by five horses with his head and limbs, leaving a bare body, spurting blood in five directions. ”

Li Chengdong's words were like ice nails piercing into the hearts of the officials present on a cold day, and they already had their scalps tingle just hearing about such a murderous thing. Li Chengdong didn't seem to see the scared expressions of his subordinates, he laughed twice, and continued: "Hou Xuanyan and I have a very close relationship, you may want to touch my light, and you will also enjoy this kind of treatment." ”

Everyone in the hall was frightened by him, and the little heart that was already pounding couldn't stand it anymore. Dianshi's legs were weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. However, the generals were gearing up and were quite unconvinced. They themselves knew that the battle of Xianxialing was lost by a surprise attack, no one thought that Hou Xuan would act so quickly, and no one thought that the Zhejiang soldiers would counterattack. It was only after carelessness that they lost the battle, and it was not them who lost the battle against the enemy.

Li Chengdong saw that his goal had been achieved, and said: "The end of surrender, Bai Chongzan has already made an example for us, I hope that all of you will do your best to help us who lead the troops, win this battle well, and make great contributions to the peace of the country." ”

When the officials of Chong'an heard this, they all said that they would unite as one to fight against the corpse-splitting mad demon Hou Xuanyan. In order not to be divided by the five horses, they really plan to help these big-headed soldiers in battle.

Li Chengdong made a look, and his henchman Chen Jia, who had been confidant for many years, immediately stood up and said: "General, Hou Xuan's performance is big, I think we should retreat to Yanping Mansion and join the army of the prince." As soon as he finished saying this, the Chong'an official, who had just peed his pants, almost scared out. Why did Bai Chongzan die? In the final analysis, the group of people in front of them left Puxian and fled, and their lives were tied to this group of big-headed soldiers, without them, Chong'an would be the next Puxian.

Li Chengdong raised his eyebrows and said: "It's nonsense, let's go, what about the people of Chong'an, who will protect the lives of the adults in Chong'an?" ”

Chen Jia pretended to be unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "Where is this, general, is it possible that the lives of adults are worth money, and the lives of their families are worth money, so we villains deserve to die?" The brothers are also old and young, and the old lady who died here has no one to support, and the wife has to remarry, and the son may have someone else's surname. If there is no one, it will make people desperate, and there is no such reason in the whole world. ”

Although the officials in Chong'an are not good at fighting, they are all old oilies in the officialdom, and they are human spirits when they put on a few hairs, and they can't hear the meaning of these two people singing and harmonizing. There's nothing else to do around the bush, it's money.

Small lives matter, Fujian officials are not bad for money to tell the truth, the center of shipping is in Fujian, this is the world's first-class business, very oily and water.

The officials patted their chests and promised that they were willing to take the money out and reward the officers and men of the three armies. As long as they can stop Hou Xuanyan, these people are willing to raise money. Anyway, together with the war, some of them squeezed the people's fat and ointment in the name of collecting all kinds of wartime unique harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

After several bargains, the number of sacrifices was set, and Li Chengdong withdrew the double reed performance, kicked over the table, and said loudly: "Hou Xuanyan has nothing to be afraid of, I could kill his father at the beginning, and I can kill him now." Packed up the soldiers and horses, hid the artillery in the city tower, and waited for him to come and discipline him if he came back, and folded the title of the undefeated general that this kid had deceived the world and stole his name. ”

Li Chengdong took his subordinates to the city tower with a murderous spirit, and said loudly: "You all listen well, Puxian has been slaughtered by Hou Xuanyan, and there is not a single living mouth left." This kid likes to kill captives, you should know that, if we lose this time, no one will want to live. I, Li Chengdong, have no relatives and no reason, no father, no mother, no children and no daughters, and if I die, I will die. If you don't want to die, give me some blood and blood of the masters, kill them and go back to reunite with your relatives. Where there are any undefeated generals, it's just a little bit of luck, and this time I will take you to smash this undefeated hat. ”

Whether it is a battle against the tide or a shipwreck, what is improved is the morale of the military. It is impossible to improve the quality of individual soldiers through this kind of behavior, but the morale of the army has risen, and the same soldiers can often burst into several times the combat effectiveness. Li Chengdong's words were very successful, and the Zheng family soldiers under him were all like chicken blood, wanting to smash the myth of the general in vain in order to survive.

Li Chengdong, who was standing in the city tower, was proud in his heart, his soldiers had already mobilized his emotions, and he had a big move.

It was a matter of whether or not the corpses would be divided, and the officials of Chong'an broke out with unprecedented efficiency, and the first batch of soldiers and silver had already moved over.

Li Chengdong said loudly: "I will fall this silver here, everyone open their eyes and see, whoever has made meritorious service this time will be the silver." ”

First of all, it was known that the interests and disadvantages caused a kind of mourning situation, and then the wealth was moving, and after a perfect set of operations, the fighting spirit of the Fujian soldiers was completely ignited.

Then, Li Chengdong and his screaming subordinates punched the air....

After the defenders of Jianyang City Gate saw the half-pillar incense of the Zhejiang soldiers at the first glance, Jianyang had already been lost.
