Chapter 49: The Great War Begins
"In the underground wells and ponds of those manors, and under the cliffs behind them, there are the bones of slaves and tenants who have been killed by the family, and there are thousands of corpses! Why! Why is the family so vicious! Looking at those unclothed tenants, I can't bear it! Take it all to my Zhao family, but how can I do it! What am I going to do! How much can I save? ”
looked at Zhao Debiao who was in pain, and then looked at Zhao Yufan who was crying with his head bowed on the side. Hangeul hesitated!
Walking out of Zhao Debiao's camp, Han Wen rode to the Bozhou Chamber of Commerce, and Wang Cheng hurriedly came out to meet him on the second floor. "I need you to check someone!" Han Wen said, Wang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Childe doesn't know who to investigate?" "There is a Zhaojiazhuang sixty miles outside the city, you send someone to check it!" Be quick! Three days! Three days at most! Han Wen commanded, "Oh! The little one sent someone to check it out immediately! ”
Han Wen went back, and the three fast horses rushed out of the city and went straight to Zhaojiazhuang. Han Wen went back to the house and told Han Jian about it, and Han Jian asked, "What are you going to do!" ”
Han Wen thought for a moment, "If I can, I am ready to bring all his men and horses into the city and replace the garrison troops, I think the generals will be happy!" ”
On the seventh day of November, the first meeting of the coalition forces was held in the camp of the Chengde army, and Han Wen conveyed his opinions on behalf of his father, with Wang Jingchong as the commander of the coalition army, and the Tianxiong army was willing to listen to orders. Everyone can only agree. Wang Jingchong, who was complacent, ordered the army to go out in three days!
Han Wen, who left the barracks, met Wang Cheng head-on, "Son, the people under him have returned, that Zhao Debiao really gathered tens of thousands of tenants, all the tenants have five taels of silver and one stone, five taels of grain and one stone for each of the slaves, and thirty taels for each of the slaves who were killed before!" ”
Han Wen was stunned! "What a big deal! I'll ask again! Han Wen and Wang Cheng walked into Zhao Debiao's camp, and Wang Cheng suddenly said, "Childe, this camp is really a little different!" "Oh? What's the difference? "The momentum of this battalion is a little similar to that of the National Army!" At this time, Zhao Debiao had already brought people out to greet him.
Sitting in the tent, Hangul asked, "Why do you treat tenants like this?" Zhao Debiao was stunned! He asked, "What does Childe mean?" Han Wen said: "I have sent someone to Zhaojiazhuang!" Zhao Debiao's face darkened, "In the face of so many white bones, I figured it out, today's family may not be my future Zhao family, those tenants' blood-red eyes make me afraid, but I can save a while, I can't save a lifetime!" I don't know how I can do it! ”
Han Wen asked, "Are these your sincere words?" "Yes, it's my truth!" "Are you willing to do this forever?" "I do!"
Han Wen smiled, and Wang Cheng smiled. Han Wen got up, "Okay, I'm leaving, there will be troops to change guards with you tomorrow!" After speaking, Zhao Debiao, who was stunned there, walked out.
The next day, the two lieutenants led people into the camp, and Zhao Yufan hurriedly greeted them, "Two adults, I don't know what's going on?" The two lieutenants said reluctantly, "Tell your leader to come out!" Zhao Yufan hurriedly sent someone to shout. After a while, Zhao Debiao hurriedly came, bowed down and saluted, "Two adults, I don't know what is called small!" ”
The two returned, "Receive the general's order, order you hillbillies to go into the city to change defenses, and I will go to crusade against the traitors for you!" Alright, hurry up and pack up and head into town! Zhao Debiao led people into the city in a daze, and each of them was given another set of armor. Looking at the coalition camp outside the city, Zhao Debiao was completely confused, didn't I come to help in the war? How did you enter the city and become an official army!
The next day, Wang Jingchong ordered troops, which Wang Jingchong was taken aback, the three towns had 180,000 troops, and the local heroes were 130,000, and there were more than 300,000 troops. Everyone was elated with so many soldiers, and it was not a problem to take Xinxiang and Weizhou. The army began to set out, and set up camp forty miles from the city. The scout suddenly came to report that the Nationalist army had set up camp ten miles away!
Wang Jingchong hurriedly convened a meeting, and everyone quarreled endlessly, everyone wanted to preserve their strength, and they didn't come up with a result for a long time. In the end, Li Quanluo spoke: "Tomorrow, let's take a day off for the time being, and the whole army will not fight for the time being!" ”
Qin Fang led an army of 100,000 to set off on the fifth day of the first month, and set up camp sixty miles away from Bocheng on the seventh day of the first month. The special brigade was led by Xiao Li Wanyong and blocked the battlefield in the direction of Bocheng. The scouts of Bo were constantly killed. The coalition forces were completely deaf and blind.
At the beginning of the year, the 10th Special Brigade stopped hunting and switched to monitoring the movements of the coalition forces. Li Jie strictly ordered the special brigade not to act privately, and violators were beheaded!
The next day, Wang Jingchong convened a collegiate meeting again, and after a long discussion, it was finally decided that Li Quanluo would lead the local armed forces to conduct a test of the national army.
Li Quanluo began to integrate the local armed forces, and the 130,000 men were divided into 13 teams, each with 10,000 men. Candidates are selected by each locality. After a day of squabbling, the candidate was finally chosen!
Li Quanluo said: "Tomorrow, I will wait for the battle, test the opponent's strength first, and then make a decision." Violators will be killed! The people below hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Oh! ”
At dawn, Li Quan slightly brought a team of 30,000 people to fight, Qin Fang was promoted, and the scout came to report! The opponent's 30,000-strong array has already come out. Qin Fang said: "Liu Tie listens to orders!" "Liu Tie is out of the ranks" will be the last general! "Ben Shuai ordered you to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to fight! Make no mistake! Liu Tieyi arched his hand, "No!" ”
Twelve thousand people under the leadership of Liu Tie went out of the camp to defend against the enemy, and three miles away from the camp, Liu Tie ordered, "The whole army is arrayed!" "Three thousand archers were in the front, pikemen were behind, and swords and shields were at the back of the line.
Li Quanluo led his troops out of the camp and lined up two miles away from the national army. Li Quanluo ordered the first team Feng Lang to lead the troops into battle, although he was reluctant, but the military order was difficult to disobey! Feng Lang led his troops forward.
When there were still 500 meters away from the National Army, Feng Lang gave an order, "Rush, rush up!" "Tens of thousands of people accelerated towards the national army. When he rushed to a distance of 300 meters from the National Army, Liu Tie drew his steel knife and shouted, "The first row of giant archers, ten percent strength, ready to shoot one by one!" The long thousand archers let go of their bowstrings: "Squeak-" A piercing scream immediately resounded throughout the battlefield, and a huge heavy black cloud pierced the sky, and the black pressure rushed forward.
Liu Tie didn't look at the effect at all, and immediately yelled at those longbowmen: "Second row, ten percent force, put-"
The second row of archers did what they usually did during training, and shot the second arrow step by step.
Feng Lang ordered his soldiers to rush forward desperately, rush over and kill them, as long as he rushed in and killed them, he could survive, this is what these powerful soldiers are thinking about now.
"Squeak-" A sharp and terrifying sound came, and the green wolf couldn't help but pause slightly, and looked up in the direction of the sound in the air, and countless black giant arrows were swooping down in the sky.
"Raise your shield, raise your shield." As soon as Feng Lang saw the giant arrow flying towards him, he immediately gave what he thought was the most effective response order. The soldier with the shield subconsciously raised the shield in his hand, while the soldier without the shield rushed forward desperately, hoping to avoid the terrifying black cloud.
The sound of "poof" sounded left and right in front of Feng Lang, and what followed was a scream from the sky.
"How so?" What a tragic situation. Countless huge clusters of arrows shot down overwhelmingly, passing through those shields as if they were breaking through waste paper without hindrance, and then burrowed into the bodies of the soldiers under the shields, splashing a puff of blood, and the huge inertia knocked the soldiers down one by one, nailed to the ground, and those who pierced their heads were lucky, and those who did not die for a while wailed under the huge arrows.
Feng Lang, who was staring blankly at the front of him, suddenly heard another scream above his head, and another overwhelming giant arrow fell, nailing another group of soldiers to the ground again, and the crowd of charging people suddenly collapsed into a large area.
The screaming sound in the air sounded again, countless giant arrows fell again, and a forest of giant arrows appeared in front of Feng Lang. In front of and behind him, there were dead and miserable soldiers, some of whom had dried their blood, and whose empty eyes were staring at the sky, and some of whom were lying on the ground, nailed to the hard ground by huge arrows. The soldier who was not yet dead opened his mouth, trying to absorb even a little bit of air into his body.
"Run! Come on! Feng Lang turned around and fled, and the remnants of the soldiers in front also turned around and ran back, while the soldiers in the back didn't know what was happening in front of them, and the two sides huddled together and fell into chaos, wailing, scolding, and screaming mixed together.
Li Quanluo saw that the situation was wrong from a distance, and immediately ordered, "Mingjin withdraws his troops!" The voice rang out, and the soldiers retreated like a tidal wave. And the soldiers of the National Army just stood quietly and did not attack.
Li Quan glanced at the frightened Feng Lang, "Go back!" With an order, the three phalanxes retreated. Liu Tie saw it and immediately ordered, "Clean up the battlefield!" "The archers pushed forward nearly a hundred meters to guard the battlefield, while the pikemen and shield men began to clean up the battlefield.
The dead soldiers were buried in a centralized manner, the corpses were sprinkled with a layer of lime according to Li Jie's request, the giant arrows were recovered by the soldiers, and the scattered knives and guns were also collected together, and only a dozen of the soldiers who did not die were still alive and sent to the medical battalion in the rear army for treatment according to Li Jie's order.
Li Quanluo, who returned to the camp, gave an order to Wang Jingchong, "Go out to battle today, and return with a small defeat!" Wang Jingchong asked, "How many people have been lost?" Li Quanluo replied, "Not too much, more than a thousand people?" But the other party lost a single soldier! ”
"Why?"
"This has to ask Feng Lang who is fighting!"
"Where is Feng Lang!" The frightened Feng Lang stood up: "The last general? "Why did you lose your troops, and what happened?"
"The last general was ordered to lead the troops into battle, the bow and arrow fired by the opponent's archers The last general has never seen it, the arrow is as huge as a stick, ordinary shield Zhenben cannot protect it, and the impact of the arrow is extremely large! So the last general retreated! ”
"What can I do?"
Wang Jingchong was embarrassed, looked at the generals, and all the generals were silent! Li Quan thought for a moment and said, "Let's rest for the time being, tomorrow according to what I see, it is better to fight with 50,000 people and attack at the same time!" If that doesn't work, then we'll find another way! ”
Wang Jingchong thought about it, and there was nothing good to do. Then he said, "Rest for the time being today, and fight again tomorrow!" ”
