Chapter 141: The General Must Die in a Hundred Battles
"Green bricks and tiles, red apricot flying flowers, sunset East Pavilion, slow all the way, you still don't know me, it's okay."
- The Classic of the White Horse
Summer City.
Menghu's 50,000 iron horsemen burst the embankment, far away, in the eyes of the soldiers of Xia City, it is slowly getting bigger.
Xia Cheng has been in business for a long time, the city is high and the pond is deep, the grain and grass are abundant, and the soldiers of the four guards have been on the battlefield for a long time, so Yao Wenjun stood at the head of the city with confidence, pointed at the other three and said to the Menghu people: "The army of ants, a battle can be determined!" ”
Zhou Anmin was a little hunchbacked, stretching his neck to observe the Menghu people's military formation, his eyes were sharp.
"The enemy army will never use cavalry to attack the city, Lao Yao, how can it be decided in a battle?" Lu Zhenjiang asked.
"Our army is now 80,000, why be afraid?" Yao Wenjun smiled confidently.
Xue Dingguo stood silently behind several people and didn't speak, he looked at Yao Wenjun, when did he become so confident? In the past, only he was the calmest and the best at fighting, why is he so hot-headed now?
Zhou Anmin only thought about his own affairs and completely disdained to listen to Yao Wenjun's words.
"Humph! I'd like to hear how you fight? Zhou Anmin said coldly.
Lu Zhenjiang, Xue Dingguo, and Zhou Anmin all focused their eyes on Yao Wenjun's face at the same time.
Yao Wenjun saw the reaction of several people, thought about it, and it was time to say the battle plan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy army is large, 50,000 people, and my Baimawei now has 20,000, and they are also sharpening their swords, and the enemy chief wants to be angered by my letter, they will naturally not attack the city, but they will not let go of the surrounding towns and villages, so they are forcing us to go out of the city for a decisive battle." Yao Wenjun paused for a moment, and saw the three of them nodding secretly.
"Therefore, I have decided that I will be a vanguard for you, and when the enemy army is divided, I will lead the army out of the city, and kill him first. Yao Wenjun said with a serious face.
"Phew! Are you a vegetarian when I am Zhou Anmin? Even a single Menghu dares to bully me. "Zhou Anmin always felt too harsh when he listened to Yao Wenjun's words, what is the reason why the infantry army under our command is invincible to Menghu Iron Cavalry, which is also too prestigious.
Xue Dingguo and Lu Zhenjiang chose to remain silent and did not care about Zhou Anmin.
"General Zhou, don't be angry, I didn't mean that, just seek truth from facts. After all, these two legs can't outrun four legs, and the Menghu people are the best at swimming, and you don't know it. Yao Wenjun had to be choked by Zhou Anmin every time he said something, and he also had a big head.
"Humph!" Zhou Anmin snorted coldly, turned around, and sulked to himself.
"That's it, everyone, I'll go and order my troops and prepare to attack." Yao Wenjun shook his head helplessly and trotted away.
At this moment, you can already see the Menghu cavalry lined up in the distance, the sand and dust raised by the horses' hooves filling the sky, and the water in the moat is rippling.
"Over the years, it seems that this Menghu has put a lot of effort into it, and he can have such a position." Zhou Anmin looked at the enemy army and sighed.
"General Zhou, I think, let's be prepared, in case Lao Yao is unfavorable, we can also deal with it." Lu Zhenjiang said.
"Well, you two defend the city, leave the matter to me Zuo Wuwei, I want Yao Wenjun to see if Lao Tzu's soldiers are not as good as the Menghu people, hum!" Zhou Anmin's face was stiff, and his originally thin face was now a little more iron-blue.
"Let's go ......" Xue Dingguo stepped forward to stop Zhou Anmin, and was talking, when suddenly, Lu Zhenjiang interrupted him.
"Lao Xue is right, the enemy army is 50,000, be on the safe side, let's go with you." Lu Zhenjiang said seriously.
Xue Dingguo looked at Lu Zhenjiang strangely and nodded to himself. Zhou Anmin thought about it, and what he said was right, the enemy army is large, mobile, only go out of the city by himself, I am afraid that he will be chased and beaten, if there is one more flank, then the enemy will also have scruples, if the cooperation is good, maybe you can give the enemy a blow.
"Okay, then Lao Xue and I will go out of the city to line up, and we will leave it to Lao Lu to defend the city." Zhou Anmin sighed, finally resisted the anger in his heart, and said calmly.
"Be careful, you two." Seeing that the two agreed, Lu Zhenjiang said with a solemn face.
"Lao Lu, what did you say, I have fought a lifetime of battles, I, Zhou Anmin, have never been afraid of anyone, just Menghu, how was we beaten back then, how can I fart and urine today, Yao Wenjun is right, what I have repeatedly taught will not change! Bah! Zhou Anmin said, spat and spit on the ground.
"General Zhou is right!" Xue Dingguo echoed.
The three of them said goodbye, Zhou Anmin and Xue Dingguo hurriedly returned to their respective barracks and went out of the city, Lu Zhenjiang stood at the head of the city alone, looking at the vast sky, the wide moat under the city, in the distance, the villages were scattered, the roads were intricate, and there should be some snow that had not melted in the flat world.
The wind blowing from the Great Wall seems to carry the smell of the grassland.
In the sound of thousands of horses galloping, he actually had a feeling of dominating the world.
Lu Zhenjiang slowly closed his eyes, feeling this feeling, and became self-intoxicated.
……
Soon, the Monhu army reined in.
"Khan, look, moat!" The old leader exclaimed, pointing to the moat that had just come into view.
"I didn't expect a border city to be run on such a scale, in the words of the Han people, we can only look at the city and sigh this time." Mongo said leisurely.
"Last time we were in Wuwei, didn't we let several clans prepare for the siege?" The old leader asked puzzled.
Meng Ge took a look at Xia Cheng, the city was high and deep, the military flag was fluttering, and the defenders at the head of the city were all heroic, without the slightest fear, and a wry smile, attacking the city? I'm afraid that if I die, I won't be able to take this bit of family foundation.
"Let the Western Wuhe tribe and the Dongshu tribe join forces to capture the surrounding villages and towns, we are here, keeping an eye on the defenders in the city, as long as they dare to go out of the city, then my Menghu's iron cavalry will crush them!" When Meng Ge thought of that letter, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and secretly said, if I don't avenge this revenge, I, Meng Ge, will be worthy of the name of the Prairie Eagle!
"Siwuhe...... They and the Dongshu coalition army barely have 10,000, so will the enemy seize the opportunity to divide the troops, according to our spies, the enemy army has 70,000 or 80,000. The old leader was worried, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Khan is going to kill the Western Ukh and Dongshu tribes......
Mongo glared fiercely at the old leader.
"When you hunt wolves, you have to put some meat, what? Do you want to go too? Mongo asked angrily.
"No, no, no, the Khan is angry, and his subordinates will give orders!" The old leader was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he patted his horse and left.
……
Lu Zhenjiang quickly found out that a cavalry had split from Menghu's rear team, and smiled secretly.
