Chapter 25 Enter the city
After Jing Ran and Daniel Zhang discussed everything, they took the lead in coming to the valley to arrange, and when everything was completed, the sentry came to report, saying that General Daniel Zhang had successfully attracted the Northern Chu army and was rushing towards the valley.
"Hehe, these wolves have a very powerful nose, but I don't know what happened to the teeth."
Jing Ran said with a smile, but he was still a little nervous in his heart, this time what he wanted to do was not to destroy this Northern Chu army, but to find a way to incorporate this army, which was much more troublesome than simply killing people.
After a while, Daniel Zhang ran into the valley first, and then quickly hidden, and now he was about to look at Jing Ran's order and prepare to seal his pocket.
"I have prepared ......"
Jing Ran looked at the Northern Chu army that broke into the trap, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Do it!" ”
While speaking, he saw military flags all over the mountains and forests erected, and the valley mouth in front was also dusty, and when he turned around and looked behind, Daniel Zhang had already led the men and horses, so he set up a suspicious formation, so that this army did not dare to move casually.
"My lord, it's not good, we're in ambush!"
The Northern Chu army was already in turmoil at this time, and I didn't know how to deal with it, the leading general was in his thirties, Jing Ran had also seen it, it was the brother of Xingyue in the Northern Chu Inner Prison, this person couldn't fight, and he couldn't be a civil official, except for shaving and slapping horses, he was a guy in the wine bag and rice bag class, Jing Yu was really stupid, he actually let this kind of person chase him for thousands of miles, did he think of himself as a rabbit waiting to die!
"All the soldiers obey the order! Shoot their leading general! ”
Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as he kills the leader's wine bag and rice bag, the rest will become his business.
As he spoke, Jing Ran's soldiers set up bows and shot arrows one after another, and one after another feathered arrows came directly towards Zhongxingyue's brothers, and the poor guy was shot into a hedgehog without even seeing people clearly, and with a plop, he fell from his horse and turned into a dead corpse.
"Listen to the Chu army below, the king is here, don't resist!"
At this time, Jing Ran signaled the sergeant next to him to shout, and the Northern Chu army below was stunned when they heard that the king was here, it turned out that they were really chasing the king of Chu!
"Don't listen to their nonsense! The king of Chu has been held hostage by traitors! We are about to save the king from danger! ”
There was another sound in the Northern Chu army, Jing Ran followed the reputation, it was actually him.
This one is the guard of Chudu, Jing Yu's personal soldier, no wonder Jing Yu will rest assured to shoot the waste dim sum of Zhongxingyue's brother to chase himself, it turned out to be a mouse pulling a wooden shovel, and the big head is behind.
Although Jing Ran also felt that these Northern Chu troops below had been shaken, it was obvious that this person's words were still very useful, and some half-believing Northern Chu sergeants began to carry their knives again and prepare for battle.
It seems that this matter is not so easy, Jing Ran thought to herself.
"Give the brothers on the opposite hill an order to light a fire!"
Jing Ran now has to force the people below to surrender, otherwise if they attack, whether their own people can win is a matter of words.
"Ignition!"
With the voice of the herald, the sergeants on both sides began to fire fire feather arrows, and soon ignited the grass and trees prepared in advance, and the leader of the Northern Chu army knew that he was afraid at this time.
"Everyone, rush out!"
The Northern Chu army began to rush in the direction of Daniel Zhang, trying to find a glimmer of life from the fire array, but when they approached the valley mouth, they were greeted by feathered arrows prepared by Daniel Zhang's soldiers, and the first row of Northern Chu soldiers fell from their horses.
"Ahh
The sergeants of the Northern Chu Army also knew that according to such a situation, these thousand people would not be able to rush out. Suddenly, a thousand people were in chaos, and the formation was completely disrupted.
At this time, a voice came from Jingyu above the valley:
"The widow is the king of Chu! I don't want my compatriots to kill me, this battle only removes the first evil, and the rest are not to blame for the past! ”
In the face of death, the "righteousness" woven solely by money and lies is window paper, which can be broken when stabbed.
At that moment, there were many Northern Chu sergeants who threw away the swords in their hands and led the horses to run out of the valley, Daniel Zhang had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for the Northern Chu army to come out of the valley, he directly sent two men and horses, rushed to the side and squatted.
At the beginning, there were only a dozen people who surrendered out of the valley, but as the flames grew bigger and bigger, more and more people wanted to live, and after a while, more than 900 people surrendered out of the valley, and the rest were Jingyu's hardcore followers, Jing Ran repeated the same words twice, but no one left the valley again.
"Shoot the arrows, the stubborn, shoot them all!"
It was the first time for Jing Ran to be so ruthless, although these people were all chasing and killing themselves, and they were all Jingyu's lackeys, but these people were also people from Da Chu.
But he had to do this, if he didn't do it, how could Wang Wei be able to suppress the more than 900 troops outside.
Sure enough, when the troops outside heard the screams of more than 100 people in the valley being burned and killed by feather arrows, they all knelt on the ground in fright, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Daniel Zhang listened to the screams coming from the valley and also frowned.
"It's miserable."
But this kind of thinking of his didn't last long, you must know that if it was himself and Jing Ran who were in the valley today, would this group of Northern Chu troops be able to allow themselves to surrender under the same circumstances?
War is with slaughter. Since they have chosen to join Jingyu in the cholera world, then they should also have the consciousness to pay the price.
Similarly, Jing Ran and Daniel Zhang should have the same awareness.
An hour later, Jing Ran led the army out of the valley, and they were also choked by the smoke bears, and their faces were also black and gray, but compared to the more than 100 people who were shot and burned to death, this was nothing.
"The king's clever plan, we will capture 900 enemy troops today, and 800 war horses that can be used."
Daniel Zhang stepped forward to help Jing Ran and reported the results.
"What happened to the captives?"
Jing Ran looked at the nine hundred people kneeling on the ground and walked over.
These people have been calmed by the scene just now, and now they are afraid of Jing Ran, if they want to find a little other feeling, it is respect.
Because now the army that surrounded them was all in sight, only five hundred! And a thousand of them were annihilated by five hundred. The courage and delicacy of the person who came up with such a scheme are not admirable?
Jing Ran looked at the nine hundred people who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, and signaled to Daniel Zhang to bring these people back to Hexi City first, and the rest of the recruitment work was also handed over to him, no matter what the reason, not a single prisoner could not be less, and all of them should join him, as for what way, hehe, think for yourself.
Daniel Zhang smiled, now Jing Ran is more and more like a king, this momentum, this mind, and this cruelty, all make him feel invisible pressure.
And the town guard envoy in Hexi City is the boy who holds Yu, after he and Daniel Zhang and others arrived in Jinyang County, they were arranged in Hexi City with Zhang Yong, Daniel Zhang is the military chief of Hexi City, and he is promoted to Hexi Town Guard Envoy, in charge of finances, people's livelihood and other trivial matters, but Hexi City as a military tun city, in fact, the permanent population of the True 28 Classics is not much, this civil affairs can not be talked about, civil affairs are not, the rest of the finance is related to the daily expenses of the army, But their military funds were all provided by Jiang Yue's Jinyang County, and he, the town guard, could be said to be the world's first-class idle errand.
But today, when he learned that Jing Ran was going to Hexi with his men, he was very excited, and he had already gone to Jinyang City to ask for military funds and buy some food and drink so that Jing Ran and his brothers could have a good rest.
At this time, Baoyu had already bought things and returned to the barracks, but today's encounter made him a little depressed, because when he went to the Jinyang County Shou Mansion to report the news that the king had arrived in Hexi City, the officials of the Jinyang County Shou Mansion were silent one by one, and Jiang Yue, who was the leader of the Jinyang military and government, shirked his physical discomfort and asked Baoyu to say hello to Jing Ran instead of himself, he didn't go himself, and wrote a letter to Jing Ran, and also let Bao Yu take it back.
Although many officials in Jinyang were silent, Baoyu, who was a close minister of the king, felt a little uneasy.
Jiang Yue is jealous of the king.
That's what it's like to hold jade.
However, seeing that he and his brothers had just arrived in Hexi City, these things were only their own imagination, and there was no tangible evidence, so they could only let it go for now.
When he came back, he found that there were many more war horses in Hexi City, but he had not asked Jiang Yue and the others for war horses, which made him feel a little confused.
But his confusion was quickly broken by Daniel Zhang's words.
"Baoyu, the king was still talking about you just now."
"Is the king back?"
Baoyu asked nervously and excitedly.
"Where is the king, take me to see it."
With that, he dragged Daniel Zhang forward. Daniel Zhang shook his head: "The king is in the camp of the Chinese army." ”
The two of them immediately walked quickly to the Chinese army camp.
"King!"
As soon as he arrived at the Chinese army camp, Baoyu opened the curtain and walked in, and Jing Ran was also very excited to see his brother in life and death.
"Hehe, I heard that you are the town guard of this Hexi City, congratulations."
Hugging the jade is embarrassed, and I am at a loss.
"Don't make fun of me, this is also so that the king can have a place to live...... By the way, this Daniel Zhang is now the general of Hexi City, the king, this kid is now a real general. Ha ha. ”
When Jing Ran heard it, he also laughed, he saw from the eyes of these brothers, Daniel Zhang, Baoyu and so on have all made a very big change, Baoyu is not only promised, Daniel Zhang is no longer the previous Zhang Daring, even the thirty or so people who ran out of Northern Chu with him have become officers at all levels of the army, now everyone has more bravery, wisdom, less recklessness and timidity, and listen to Daniel Zhang, it is Baoyu, now can ride a war horse!
"With brothers like you in life and death, why should I worry that my great cause will not be accomplished!"
Jing Ran said from the bottom of his heart.
"King!"
Daniel Zhang, Baoyu and others hurriedly bowed their hands and worshipped.
A few people talked in the big tent, and suddenly hugged Yu and remembered that Jiang Yue also asked himself to bring a letter.
"King, go to Jinyang today to procure, General Jiang Yue ordered the humble post to bring a letter, and asked the humble post to be handed over to the king." As he spoke, he took out the letterhead from his bosom.
I saw that it was written on the letterhead: The more the minister worships.
Jing Ran smiled slightly, he didn't think much about hugging jade, so he took the letterhead casually, opened the letterhead, and looked at it, but the content inside really made him a little uneasy.
"This General Jiang Yue ...... Hehe. ”
Everyone didn't know what was written in the letter, but when they saw Jing Ran's smile, everyone held their breath.
