Chapter 105: Guan Shan Xueleng's First Engagement (5)
The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are sucked up.
In the car camp, Liu Xiao, who was sweating profusely, helped his subordinates unload the last Tingzhou cannon from the carriage, and rushed to Wang Fei to salute and said: "Yu Fei military envoy, ninety Tingzhou cannons have been lined up, each Tingzhou cannon is equipped with 30 stone shells and 20 fierce oil fire bombs. ”
"There's Captain Lao Liu!" Wang Fei nodded: "The chariot regiment and the ballista regiment are well-trained and victorious, so they should be credited with the first credit." ”
"It's all up to the statutes set by the envoys." Liu Xiao said from the bottom of his heart.
At the beginning, he joined the Suye Army with everyone, and Li Sheng, who was brave and good at fighting, was named deputy military envoy and took charge of the cavalry battalion; the resourceful Nanji Yunling Scout Battalion; The powerful Lei Wanchun commanded the infantry battalion. Although Liu Xiao was promoted to lieutenant together with Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, he was given an engineer battalion and a baggage battalion.
Forget about the baggage camp, whoever makes his own lady is the shopkeeper of the Chang'an branch of Suyeju, and it is the most convenient to communicate. But the engineer battalion will definitely be much inferior to the three battalions of cavalry, infantry, and scouts. Although Liu Xiao knew that his martial arts skills and combat experience were not as good as those of Nan and Lei, he still couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart. If it weren't for Jian Ruoxi's hard persuasion, he would have even considered picking a pick.
After going deep into the second battalion of baggage and engineers, and seriously pondering the operational regulations that had already been drawn up, Liu Xiao once again sighed that Fei Langjun had hills and valleys in his chest, and the Suye army had a lot to do.
The iron car is better than the rock, and the ballista is ready to be fired.
In the car camp, Mo swordsmen, sword and shield soldiers, and pikemen are scattered like stars; Either sparse or dense, front or but, guarded by 400 archers and 90 ballistas.
"Archers for rockets. Ballista regiments are on standby, ready to fire heavy oil bombs! The infantry battalion guards the gap between the chariot camp and prevents the enemy cavalry from breaking in! Wang Fei, who was surrounded by tooth soldiers in the middle, gave orders loudly.
"No!" Liu Xiao and Lei Wanchun took the order and left.
Wang Fei tried his best to show a commanding posture, but the slight trembling voice still revealed a little nervousness, after all, the opponent he encountered for the first time as the main general was the famous Dragloche.
In fact, Wang Zhengjian heard that Wang Fei was going to join the army, and he expected him to serve as the secretary of the Hedong Army and the counselor of the military aircraft. But Wang Fei refused his father's kindness and resolutely asked to lead an army alone.
On 15 November, before Li Longji convened the court of important ministers to discuss the suppression of the rebellion, Wang Fei finally met Wang Zhengjian, who had rushed back to Beijing from Tongguan. This is the first time that the father and son have met since the outbreak of the life turmoil, Wang Fei was worried that he would be embarrassed and awkward, but when he saw his father, he only felt warm.
Wang Fei is naturally most concerned about why Wang Zhongsi fostered himself in Tingzhou. Wang Zhengjian recalled that in fact, in the first year of Tianbao (742), when Wang Zhonghei entered Beijing to offer prisoners, he planned to take the opportunity to present the saint and let Wang Fei return home to enter the genealogy. But for some reason, after seeing the prince, he suddenly became preoccupied, and never mentioned the matter of entering the score, but he did not explicitly entrust Wang Fei to himself.
Wang Zhengjian admitted frankly that he was not the backbone of the East Palace Party from beginning to end, so it was not clear why Wang Zhonghei had a quarrel with the crown prince. It was not until the first day of the great court meeting in the fifth year of Tianbao (746) that Wang Zhengjian and Wang Zhongsi both returned to Beijing to meet the saint.
Wang Zhengjian was quite puzzled, a little hesitant, Wang Zhonghei said faintly, "Do you think that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming have been wronged?" To his horror, he decisively agreed to his brother's invitation.
"Wei Jian case...... The crown prince ......" The dotted clues are strung together, and Wang Fei understands more and more why the East Palace is afraid of Wang Zhonghe's return to Chang'an, but in this turbulent autumn, he can only put state affairs first and put aside personal feuds for the time being.
Wang Fei knows that blessings are incomparable, disasters are not alone, and internal and external troubles follow each other like shadows. If the An Lushan rebels cannot be quelled as soon as possible, Li Longji will have to draw more troops and horses from the western border towns, and the Tubo, Dashi, and Hui troops will be ready to move. According to the original trajectory of history, it was the Anshi Rebellion that lasted for seven years that led to the exhaustion of troops in the west of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo took the opportunity to encroach on Longyou, and Hui coveted Beiting, and the black-clothed food invaded the river again.
Although Wang Fei did not know why An Lushan suddenly decided to rebel, he blamed himself for failing to stop the civil unrest, and doubted the pattern of three years of top-down weakening of the border towns. Previously, he was like Sect Leader Zhang in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", who carried out a great shift between the various factions in the court, trying to take advantage of the situation, promote system innovation, and reverse the crisis of internal and external importance.
As Ayi Tenggena said, after three years of Chang'an, Wang Fei did his best to strengthen the center and weaken An Lushan. But no matter how many victories they had won before, the rebels raging in the land of Hebei and Hedong were like a surging frenzy, completely knocking the castle built on the beach back to its original shape.
"No matter who released the evil dragon, I will join the dragon slayer army and kill it with my own hands!" Driven by obsession, Wang Fei relied on the Suye Dart Bureau to mobilize resources from all sides and quickly build an army armed to the teeth. As early as before entering Beijing, Wang Fei had considered what to do if he failed to stop An Lushan from raising troops, so the dart bureau and Yixue had strong military colors, but he thought that there was no need to use a plan.
The confrontation with the Luoluo River is the first battle after the formation of the army, and how the success of the Suye army depends on the present dynasty, Wang Fei is inevitably a little worried.
The mountains and rivers lead the formation, and the two armies line up with flags.
"Brother Fei, the car formation has just suffered a big setback and dragged down the river, and the Suye Army will win this battle." Ashina Wenxia's eyes never left Wang Fei, and seeing that he looked a little worried, she hurriedly spoke comfortingly.
Su Sanniang, who was standing beside Wang Fei, glanced at her apprentice, but didn't say anything. Lu Qi, who was attentive to the movements of the Luoluo River, thought of Aitengna in Chang'an for no reason......
"The cart is equipped with a divine arm bow and a Yunting Zhou cannon, how did Fei Langjun come up with it?" Liu Xiaofei, who was excited, kept chattering.
"Sister Xie Wenxia cares!" Wang Fei calmed down his good mood: "Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, and the use of it is wonderful, and there is one mind." Although the chariot has long been replaced by cavalry, if it is used properly......"
Before he finished talking about Wei Qing's battle example of defeating the Huns with Wugang's car, Wang Fei overheard a faint cry floating from outside the car array. By the time he picked up the binoculars and looked at them, the cry had become earth-shattering, and the crushing crowd of unclothed people was driven from all directions towards the chariot array by the river of trolling.
"Damn!" Su Sanniang's silver teeth were about to break: "It's all the people of Huaizhou!" ”
"Brother Fei, quickly save them into the car formation!" Ashina Wenxia knew that the master was worried about the villagers, and shook Wang Fei's arm and shouted.
"No!" Lu Qi, who was full of blue spots, stopped sharply: "If you let the people into the battle, the enemy army will definitely mix in it and take advantage of the chaos to break the formation." ”
"Do you want to see death and not save it?" Su Sanniang's eyes were like electricity.
"If our army is defeated, these people will not be able to escape a dead word!" Lu Qi was not afraid: "The envoy of the Fei army, Ci is not in charge of the army, and you must not be rash, please quickly order the chariot regiment and archers to cover and shoot, disperse the people, and force the river to show up." ”
"If Lingzun is in the crowd, can you bear to order the archer to open his bow?!" Ashina Wenxia was furious: "Brother Fei, as the main general, you must not move lightly, please give me a team of soldiers and horses, and I will save people." ”
"Master, I'll go too!" Liu Xiaofei echoed continuously, while Su Sanniang silently drew out her long sword and stared at Wang Fei with burning eyes.
"It's stupid to jump knowing it's a trap! Even if his father is driven by the enemy, he will never agree to throw himself into the net! Lu Qi's expression was hideous, but after he said this cruel sentence, he suddenly asked himself in his chest: "If you change to the lord of Zhenzhu, what should you ......do?"
"Lusma, how far are the people from the car formation?" Wang Fei, who was biting his lips, asked suddenly.
Lu Qi, who was in charge of the staff of the Suye Army, beckoned, and Zhang Yinglun, a staff officer who was born in Yixue, immediately replied loudly: "The military envoy, more than 700 steps." ”
"What about the range of the Tingzhou artillery?" Wang Fei's face was expressionless.
"The stone bomb is up and down 400 steps, and the oil fire bomb is up and down 450 steps."
Zhang Yinglun is a side branch of Wuwei Zhang's family, and he has been fond of arithmetic since he was a child, but because of his poor family, he was sent by his parents to Suyeju Wuwei branch as an accountant after a few years of clan study. Two years ago, he came to Chang'an to reconcile accounts, and the revenue and expenditure were fluent, and the double-entry accounting method was also handy, so he was recommended by Jian Ruoxi to study in Yixue. When the Suye Army was established, he was directly recruited into the staff department responsible for planning military aircraft, as the student with the best score in arithmetic.
"Wonderful! However......" Lu Qi immediately guessed Wang Fei's plan.
"There are two laws in the world," Wang Fei sighed helplessly......
"Fei Lang-kun, are you planning to use fierce oil fire?" Su Sanniang thought for a moment and asked urgently.
"Exactly."
"Fierce oil fire?" Ashina Wenxia pondered the master's expression and understood that she didn't agree with Wang Fei's proposition, but it was inconvenient for her to say clearly because of her status as an elder: "The fierce oil fire is going to burn, and I'm afraid that the people of Huaizhou will also die and be injured." ”
"The sword has no eyes, the water and fire are ruthless, and I can only try my best to avoid accidental injury. Lu Sima is right, if our army is defeated, the people of Huaizhou will not end well. ”
"Brother Fei, why don't you let me try?" In addition to her father, Ashina Wenxia respects her master the most.
"No way!" Wang Fei said categorically: "If you have three long and two short, how can you explain to Xiaoyun!" ”
"Xiaoyun ......" Ashina Wenxia's expression darkened suddenly, and she couldn't help but ask: "If my sister is on the other side, will Brother Fei be desperate to order to save people." ”
"If Xiaoyun is caught, Lu Sima will be put in charge of the whole army, and I will save her single-handedly. Thinking that Lu Sima would never care about the life and death of a certain person in order to win. ”
"That'...... That ......" Ashina Wenxia's lips trembled, but she didn't have the courage to say the problem in her chest.
"Silly boy." Su Sanniang hugged the disciple who was excited: "There is no one in this world who is omnipotent, even if he is as smart as a man, he is not powerful when he is powerless." There are unjust debts and owners, these are all treacherous schemes that drag down the river, and I will definitely avenge the Huaizhou villagers. ”
"Pass my military orders!" Wang Fei, whose face was pale, pulled out his horizontal knife and pointed obliquely at the sky full of broken snow.
