Chapter 289: Sending troops to Mangdang Mountain
The herald came over and said: "Report the regimental exercise, the Xuzhou army sent a capital head and ten soldiers as guides. -Uncle haha-" Chao Gai looked at Gongsun Sheng, and Gongsun Sheng said: "This is here to monitor us, arrange for them to rest in the camp, we have our own guide." ”
Chao Gai nodded: "Bring them in." ”
This is a middle-aged man, surnamed Xu, called Xu Wu, originally a native of Kaifeng, Tokyo, on the street 'mixed' ruffian, and later luckily met the prefect of Xuzhou who had not yet taken office in Tokyo, and then became a capital, with dozens of people in control, and on weekdays in Xuzhou City is also a powerful corner of the 'color'.
Chao Gai said: "It's not a joke to go up the mountain to suppress bandits, even the Jeju regimental training was killed in the last defeat, and it is actually very risky for you to follow this time." ”
This frightened face turned green, I knew it wasn't a good job, who would have thought that it would lose my head.
"There's no way, sent from above, where do you dare not obey, please take care of Chao Tuanlian." Xu Dutou said.
Chao Gai said: "This is difficult to do, you know, if there is a fight, I will have to go into battle in this regiment, and these bandits are fierce." However, since you were sent by the prefect, you will not be 'handed over' when you come out in an accident, so arrange you in the Chinese army and send someone to protect you. ”
Xu Wudao: "Thank you so much. ”
Chao Gai arranged for his own soldiers to assign Xu Wu and his ten soldiers to the pro-soldier team, and specially 'selected' ten people to watch, saying that it was actually guarding the protection, so as not to spy on the intelligence in the army.
The soldiers took them down, just eat and drink and wait, as for the guiding things, they really don't need to do it, the intelligence department has infiltrated here as early as half a year ago, and there are even people from the intelligence department in Mangdang Mountain.
The team continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for the pioneer Niu Gao to report that Mangdang Mountain had set up a position on the small dirt slope at the mountain pass, and Niu Gao was ready to lead people to attack in order not to lose his sharpness, and let the rear brigade support it.
Gongsun Sheng said: "This Niu Gao is really 'sexual' anxious, marching from a long distance, and he will charge into battle just when he arrives at the place." ”
"He is a pioneer, and he has a good psychology, so he called Li Kui." Chao Gai said.
A few minutes later, Li Kui wore a helmet and leather armor, riding a war horse, and carrying a horse and a battle axe in his hand, just like a bear. Li Kui came over and said, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”
"Take the soldiers and horses of your battalion and quickly run over to support Niu Gao, understand?" Chao Gai said.
Li Kui said: "Look at it, I said I was the pioneer, you just let Niu Gao be the pioneer, that black boy is a stupid thing, and you have to let us support." ”
Chao Gai said: "You have an itchy ass." ”
Li Kui said: "Don't, don't, my brother doesn't know that I Tieniu is a warm-hearted person, and I will help anyone in trouble." ”
Li Kui turned around and went to gather the soldiers, and then accelerated to the front of the formation.
Let's say that Niu Gao took the two deputy generals, Zhou Tong and Feng Sheng, a total of 300 cavalry as the vanguard, including 100 veterans, who were cavalry 'shooting' soldiers. The new two hundred cavalry are still the same goods, and they immediately open their bows and each quasi-head, and the bows and arrows are carried on their backs, but they are still cavalry knives.
As soon as he approached Mangdang Mountain, Niu Gao found that the thieves of Mangdang Mountain had set up a pipe card on the hill bag in front of him, and the number of people could also be three or five hundred people, and there were simple fortifications.
Niu Gao put his hand on the pergola and watched, and said: "Yohe, I met the people of Mangdang Mountain so quickly, and I also set up a checkpoint." ”
Zhou Daodao, the deputy general next to him: "This is the first expedition of our Jeju regimental training, my brother can trust us, let us be pioneers, we have to 'show' and 'show' our faces." ”
Niu Gao 'touched' and 'touched' his chin, looked around, didn't feel like an ambush, and immediately said: "Zhou Tong, you take a hundred recruits to rush, remember, rush to the hillside and retreat, shout loudly, but don't be too fast." ”
"Yes." Zhou Tong took the order and went with a hundred cavalry and began to charge, the horn sounded earth-shattering, and the war drums also sounded.
Zhou Tong overlord waved his gun and shouted: "Brothers, there is a group of bandits blocking the way in the mountain bag ahead, do you have the courage to go up with me and unscrew their eggs." ”
"Kill, kill, kill." The cavalrymen shouted loudly with their swords.
"Kill." Zhou Tong took the cavalry to open the straggler line and charged, at this time something strange happened, it was just a tentative 'sex' charge, and he was going to withdraw halfway, who knew that the minions on the mountain saw that the cavalry began to charge and retreated backwards. Zhou Tong was also stunned, I don't know if there was a fraud, at this time, Niu Gao rushed up with the brigade when he saw it, picked up the rejection horse and quickly occupied the checkpoint.
Zhou Daodao: "They didn't run far, let's chase it." ”
Niu Gao shook his head: "I feel cheating, this fortification was repaired and hung Langdang, and he didn't even dig the trap pit, so he didn't want to defend it, so he ordered him to go down and rest in place." ”
"Yes." The two deputy generals, Feng Sheng and Zhou Tong, arranged for the soldiers to be on guard and rest. Resting in place on the battlefield is no joke, horses cannot be saddled, weapons cannot be left in hand.
The soldiers also seized the opportunity to let the war horses rest, at this time Li Kui Bao Xu arrived with five hundred infantry, although it was light infantry, but the weapons were heavy, and there were ten lying cow cannons running all the way to be more anxious, and the tiredness of the winter was panting.
Li Kui asked, "What about the black boy?" ”
"Who's the black boy's name?" Niu Gao said.
"The minions of Mangdang Mountain have all been killed by you, no, there is not even a single blood stain on the ground, it looks like they have escaped." Li Kui said.
"I'm still surprised, I was just trying to attack, but I didn't expect them to retreat immediately." Niu Gao said.
The two immediately discussed, although Niu Gao was also arrogant, but he was also worried that there was fraud in it and did not dare to attack rashly, so he stopped and waited for the rear team.
An hour later, Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng, Wu Song, Sun An and others arrived late with a large team. Niu Gao's 300 pioneers set up camp on the mountain, and the brigade of men and horses camped at the bottom of the mountain. Luo Yun and Sun An each took fifty cavalry to patrol the four miles, so as not to come out and attack when the minions were encamped.
After the encampment was completed, Chao Gai and Gongsun Sheng came to Niu Gao's camp, which was the small hill that Niu Gao had just occupied, and carefully observed the fortifications outside the fence. Looking at Gongsun Sheng laughing, Chao Gai said, "What is Gongsun Junshi laughing at?" ”
"Hehe, my brother knows better than me."
Chao Gai shook his head and said nothing, and called the herald and said: "Send a good report to Governor Xu, just say that the first pass has been occupied." ”
There was nothing wrong that night, everything was fine, everyone slept soundly, even the annoying wolf howls and night owls were less. On the second day, the soldiers did not rush to attack after breakfast, and practiced as usual.
Chao Gai and Gongsun Sheng inspected the training, and saw that on the training ground, the infantry were seriously 'drilling' and training, and the board axe soldiers, heavy sword soldiers, and long knife soldiers were neatly arranged one by one, and they practiced there with the slogans of the generals.
"Kill, kill, kill." A thousand infantry shouted at the same time, and the sound was heard far away.
Chao Gai looked back at Xu Wu in the pro-soldier team, beckoned, and called Xu Wu over.
"Xu Dutou, you are still used to eating and living, the military camp is hard." Chao Gai said.
Xu Wudao: "The barracks are naturally not as good as the 'flower' building, but it's okay." ”
This guy compared the barracks with the 'flower' building, but he was annoyed by Jiao 'Ting', Jiao 'Ting' glared at him, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "It's okay to eat, it's okay to sleep." It's just that I don't think this weapon of your army is too heavy. ”
Chao Gai beckoned, called over a heavy sword soldier, took the heavy sword in his hand, weighed it and handed it to Xu Wu, and said, "This is a heavy sword, it is used with both hands, and it weighs twelve catties." ”
Xu Wu took it, waved it twice, felt the difficulty and returned it, and said, "It's too heavy, it's too heavy." ”
The heavy swordsman said: "It's not heavy, Vice General Bao said, only weight can split people in half at once, it's too light to be useful." ”
"That's, that's." Xu Wudao.
Xu Wu secretly scolded that this work is really not easy to do, this team is evil 'door', just looking at the weapons here are scary, originally it was good to be a guide, but people can't use it, and they are waiting for delicious food and drink.
Here are the plate axe soldiers and heavy sword soldiers, and over there are long knife soldiers, holding bright and bright horse chopping knives, but also heavy weapons, the soldiers are all five big and three thick men, not to mention the officer at the head, the long is mighty and majestic, holding the horse chopping knife is the same as holding a piece of goose 'feather'.
