Chapter 188: On the eve of the decisive battle
Qin Hao's eyelids kept beating, and there was always an ominous premonition in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tian Xiaoqian saw that he looked sullen, and said with concern: "You don't seem to be in a good mood lately, why don't I call Miss Xiang'er back and ask her to sing you a song?" ā
Qin Hao shook his head, sighed softly and said: "Miss Xiang'er's propaganda team has too many things to do, let's not trouble her about this, just now a spy came to report, saying that Dusongguan ignited three piles of flames, let's go out and have a look." ā
As soon as the two of them came out of the camp, they saw the monkey hurrying over, and seeing that Qin Hao didn't even have time to change his anger, he reported there: "Son, the big thing is not good, the front army led by Ma Kuo was surrounded by them when they stopped and killed the Zheng Demon King. ā
"Besieged?"
Ma Kuo was surrounded, this news was definitely not good news for Qin Hao, he didn't wait for the monkey to report in detail, and immediately ordered the soldiers around him to invite Yang Zaixing and them, how to deal with this matter, everyone has to discuss it.
After listening to the monkey's report, Yang Zaixing couldn't hold back at first, and suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Ma is surrounded, so what are we waiting for?" In the snow, you and Xiao Chiyo's cavalry battalion stay in Anji County to protect Qin Hao, and the other five battalions will follow me. ā
"Wait!" Qin Hao saw that Yang Zaixing was about to go out, so he immediately stopped him and said, "I heard the report of Brother Monkey just now, Demon King Zheng just surrounded Brother Ma Kuo, and there was no vicious battle between the two sides, so it seems that their target is not Brother Ma." ā
Yang Zaixing was also in a hurry just now, but now in retrospect, it seems that this is indeed the case, "You are right, their purpose is obvious, it seems that they want to lead us to rescue and fight a decisive battle with us." ā
Zhuge Yu, as a staff officer of the army, also interjected at this time: "Dusong Pass is a natural danger, they don't defend it, but they fight a decisive battle with us under the pass, it can only explain one problem, Dusong Pass does not have much food, and it can't support so many soldiers and horses." ā
"Xiao Yu is right!"
Liang Hongyu nodded, and echoed: "Dusong Pass is located between Huzhou and Hangzhou, originally there were only 30,000 horses of Zheng Demon King, and the stored grain was naturally rationed according to these 30,000 people, but I didn't expect Lu Xing'er to lose in Huzhou." ā
"Oh, don't talk about food, tell us straightforwardly, how should this battle be fought?" Mao Xue's personality was a little anxious, and when he saw Zhuge Yu and Liang Hongyu analyzing it slowly and methodically, there was a kind of frizzy and hot taste in his heart.
Everyone knows this truth that they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and in everyone's hearts, they also agree with Zhuge Yu and Liang Hongyu's opinions, and they all think that the food in Dusongguan can't support so many teams, so they must fight quickly.
Yang Zaixing saw that he was in a hurry in the snow, raised his right hand, signaled him to be in a hurry, and then turned his gaze to Qin Hao, wanting to hear Qin Hao's opinion.
Qin Hao nodded, and continued what he said just now: "According to the monkey's report, the main thing that surrounds Brother Ma now is the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zheng Demon King, plus Huo Chengfu's 10,000, a total of 20,000 people.
The other 30,000 people, led by Lu Xing'er, occupy the favorable terrain and guard the road we must pass, about seven or eight miles away from the county town of Anji, where we are now stationed, and their purpose in doing so is obvious, that is, there are more people to bully fewer people, and force us to fight a decisive battle.
Therefore, the current situation is extremely unoptimistic for us, if we go to the rescue, it is to drill into Lu Xingerbu's pocket, if we don't go to the rescue, then they were originally just besieging Brother Ma, it will become a real fight. ā
"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we prefer to go to the tiger mountains, we and Ma Kuo are brothers who share life and death, and we have to save this difficulty!" Of course, Yang Zaixing understood the seriousness of the matter, but Ma Kuo had to be saved.
Qin Hao nodded and said: "Of course we have to save Ma Kuo, what I mean is very simple, we don't have many manpower, instead of scattering here to protect me, it is better for everyone to act together, and it is better to attack with one punch if you hurt people with five fingers."
My opinion is to gather all the horses in the army and hand them over to the cavalry battalion of Dugu Chiyo, which is led by Brother Yang himself, and repeatedly charges and kills the enemy for the purpose of breaking up the opponent's ranks. ā
Dugu Chiyo's cavalry battalion, that is Qin Hao's baby pimple, he was reluctant to use them in the first few battles, and this time in order to relieve the siege of Ma Guang, he also let it go.
The rebel army led by Lu Xing'er is all infantry, and the cavalry against the infantry, on the surface, has an absolute advantage, but in fact, if the opponent's infantry phalanx can stop the rapid attack of the cavalry.
Once the cavalry charge slows down, the horse will become a burden, a person on horseback, unless it is a god-level general like Yang Zaixing, such as other ordinary cavalry, there is no way to avoid the long grass stabbed from all directions.
Therefore, when Qin Hao arranged for them to fight, his purpose was very clear, he did not rely on cavalry to kill or damage, he just wanted to use their ability to move quickly to disrupt the opponent's formation.
Lu Xing'er's 30,000 horses formed six infantry phalanxes, and the leader of each team was his right-hand man, and he was also his brother in life and death.
There are still more than ten miles from Anji County to Dusong Pass, and when Qin Hao's three thousand soldiers and horses came to the front, Lu Xing'er's troops were still standing there without moving, and he himself urged his horse forward, watching Qin Hao say slowly:
"Gongzi Qin, I believe you also understand the current situation, my Lu Xing'er has not issued an order to attack and kill until now, that is to respect you for being a good official who is dedicated to the people, so as long as you put down your weapons and surrender to sincerity, I guarantee that the Holy Father will not treat you badly!"
Qin Hao smiled slightly, and said sarcastically: "Tou Cheng Fangla? You're not kidding me, are you? Lu Xing'er, don't you know that the current Fang La is already unable to protect himself, if you let me take refuge in him, it is better to ask me to hit the wall and die, and it will be neater. ā
"Who said the Holy Father himself is hard to protect? Although Fang Qige failed to defeat Tong Guan in Xiuzhou and retreated to Hangzhou, Lu Shixiang fought Tan Shu in Shezhou without fighting, and today, under this Dusong Pass, if you don't surrender, it's no wonder that Lu is ruthless. ā
Although Lu Xing'er and Qin Hao are their own masters, they have one thing in common, that is, they both have the common people in their hearts, and Qin Hao's actions along the way, he Lu Xing'er has seen it in his eyes, and he really respects Qin Hao in his heart.
The so-called, heroes are heroes, and so are the ages!
Facing Lu Xing'er's bitter words, Qin Hao couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Lu Xing'er, don't think that if you capture a few state capitals, you think that there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty, it's not because you can fight, but because you haven't met anyone who can fight."
For example, today, if you meet me Qin Hao, it can only doom you to bad luck, of course, to borrow what you just said, if you can surrender to the imperial court, maybe the imperial court will reuse you, and it can also benefit the people of one party. ā
Seeing that Qin Hao's heart was as strong as iron, Lu Xing'er knew that it would be in vain to persuade him, so he immediately raised his right hand and made a killing gesture very hard, and with the whereabouts of this gesture, Demon King Zheng and Huo Chengfu launched an attack on Ma Kuo almost at the same time.
