Chapter 874: Facing the Enemy
Chen Yanyi's whole person was trembling with excitement, he squinted his eyes, and the color of greed flashed in his eyes, and then, this greed was transformed into a fierce light, and then he said word by word, in a low voice:
"This is a God-given opportunity, it is a God-given opportunity, it is a God-given opportunity, it must not be missed, if you can capture this Chen Kaizhi alive, after being captured, you can take it to Chang'an, Ming Zhengcanon, and sacrifice the spirit of the ancestors, but if you can't capture it alive, you must not be a woman's kindness, simply kill, take its population, and hang it in the city tower of Hangu Pass, so that Luoyang Chen Kaizhi's henchmen can be self-defeating."
Yang Chen was also very excited, he originally wanted to fish out of the warrior camp, but who expected, he actually caught a big fish, this Chen Kaizhi actually came in person, this is good, as long as Chen Kaizhi is killed, everything will be fine.
Therefore, he hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister also thinks so, Your Majesty can rest assured, this battalion of five hundred warriors, once it is ambushed, it will be vulnerable, no matter how powerful they are, but the supplies on their bodies and the firearms and ammunition they rely on are not enough, at most they will be trapped for a day or two, and they can be defeated, Your Majesty, please rest assured!" ”
Chen Yanyi nodded his head and said excitedly: "I, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night tonight, tomorrow morning, gather hundreds of officials, and wait for the good news." ”
Yang Chen nodded: "Minister, obey the order." ”
He saluted and said goodbye from Chen Yanyi's dormitory.
Out of the dormitory, there was an old eunuch outside who bowed to Yang Chen's side, Yang Chen looked up at the moon in the sky, thinking that the big thing had been decided, he couldn't help but sigh, the old eunuch bowed down and said: "Yang Gong go slowly." ”
Yang Chen stopped, glanced sideways at the old eunuch, and said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty has been in the dormitory for the past few days, what have you done and what have you said?" ”
"In the past few days, Your Majesty's mood has changed greatly, sometimes she is depressed, sometimes she is very high, Your Majesty has a lot of faith in Yang Gong, and from time to time he mentions His Majesty's name and praises."
Yang Chen bowed his head and said, "Oh." I still have to stare at it lively, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, none of these people in the Chen family are fuel-efficient lamps, the Empress Dowager, the loss will be in the hands of Chen Wuji and Chen Kaizhi, a pair of brothers, this time, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past. To coax Chen Yanyi, this person is still useful, don't be angry, but people, you have to keep an eye on it, if there is any trouble, you will definitely report me. ”
Yang Chen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, his face was cold, and he paused word by word: "This is a very important matter!" ”
The old eunuch bowed silently: "The slave understands, the slave will never dare to be contemptuous, please rest assured Yang Gong." ”
…………
The moon in the sky is still bright, hanging high in the sky, like a disc, and the hazy light of this jade disc is sprinkled on the world, as if tearing a hole in the darkness.
The officers and soldiers of the warrior battalion have already walked on the official road, there are no people along the way, Chen Kaizhi walked, along the way, ordered someone to carry a lamp, looking at the map he carried, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, Chen Wuji followed Chen Kaizhi cautiously, looking at Chen Kaizhi curiously.
At such a critical moment, the imperial brother was as calm as water, as if he was fine, Chen Wuji couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of handling is something he can't learn in his life.
"It's not far away, and it's supposed to be the ambush." Chen Kaizhi squinted his eyes and looked extremely calm: "This place, there are mountains on both sides, there are only official roads, and it belongs to the necessary place to enter Chang'an, and they are ambushed here, which is carefully planned." ”
Chen Kaizhi immediately said: "Look at ......" He seemed to be very patient, wanting Chen Wou-Ki to learn a little knowledge, he seriously analyzed Chen Wou-Ki: "There are many mountains here, the road is winding, it is the most suitable for ambush, and besides, there is no worry about us escaping, and besides, when we walk here, it is roughly ...... It's dawn, and if tens of thousands of troops were here, they would have avoided night battles, do you know why? ”
Chen Wuji couldn't help but shake his head, and asked with some puzzlement: "Why, logically speaking, wouldn't it be best if it was an ambush at night?" ”
Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly, and explained to Chen Wuji in detail: "The night battle is not beneficial to the side with a large number of people, the more people, the more difficult it is to organize, at night, once the army is killed, the army may be scattered, and there is no way to organize it, so you look at the military horses of the night attack, most of them are selected elites, the fewer the number of people, the better, the more people, the easier it is to trample on each other, and even blindly rush to kill, and the water washes the Dragon King Temple." They will never attack at night, but they will be at leisure, at dawn, that is, at the light of day. ”
Chen Wuji nodded busily, thoughtfully: "No wonder most of the ancient battles where fewer wins more were night surprise attacks, it turned out that this was the reason. ”
Chen Kaizhi looked at the sky sky, under the dim stars and moon, the surroundings seemed very quiet and weird, Chen Kaizhi smiled, and then continued: "But this is not bad for us, the road is narrow, the opponent's numerical advantage, may not be able to expand, if it is in the wilderness, the opposite side of the four directions to kill, but troublesome, we are the vanguard army, we have to be like a nail, here to defend to the death, waiting for Xu Jie to bring three thousand reinforcements, maybe now...... They have arrived at Mengjin. ”
Chen Kaizhi said: "Order, let the soldiers speed up their pace, to rush as soon as possible, the praying mantis catches cicadas, these people, but they don't know that the yellow finch is behind." ”
A few miles ahead, on the official road between the mountains, the mist rose up, and only at this moment, the stars and moon had already set down the mountain, and a dawn, like a sword, seemed to penetrate the mist, broke through the darkness, brought a ray of light, and also added a veil to the mountains.
And at this moment, the horse's hooves clattered, and the horse that had been probing in front of him returned, and on the horse, a warrior battalion scout shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... There is an army of thieves ahead, and there is an army of thieves ......"
Chen Kaizhi's spirit was shocked, and he was busy ordering the whole army to stop, and the flying horse that had been in a hurry came to Chen Kaizhi, fell off the horse, saluted, and said anxiously: "A large number of scouts were found in front, they were scouts of the rebels, there were a lot of them, if it wasn't for His Majesty's explanation, he must be careful, and he was almost ambushed by the other party's scouts." ”
Only then did Chen Kaizhi discover that there was an arrow shaft that had not been taken off diagonally in the arm of the exploration horse, and blood flowed from his arm, and he was seriously injured.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but tighten his heart, his brows furrowed deeply, and the next moment the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he actually smiled coldly.
"Sure enough, Zhang Ming Zhang inspected, I didn't mistake you at all, someone is coming...... The order was given to stop the advance immediately, and all of them, fortified by the mountains, piled up on the periphery with chariots and horses, prepared for ...... Fight! ”
"Stop moving forward and fortify on the spot!"
"Stop moving forward and fortify on the spot!"
One voice after another began to break through the sky.
Not far from the roadbed of this official road, at the foot of the mountain, 500 soldiers, as if they had been prepared, one by one familiar to drive the car, to the foot of the mountain, they untied the livestock on the car, let these livestock scatter, the dozens of hundreds of carts, quickly surrounded a defensive circle.
Afterwards, everyone entered the defensive circle, took the short guns, and went into the alert.
All of this is just a time for two or three incense injections, followed by the elite of the warrior battalion, who have been in battle for a long time, although everyone's face is heavy, but no one is cowardly, all of them are in a state of being ready for battle.
Chen Kaizhi led people through countless weeds, shrubs and trees to climb the mountain, Chen Kai climbed a tall pine tree, he held a telescope specially polished by a craftsman, looking into the distance, at this time, the morning mist has gradually dissipated, at the end of the official road a few miles away, the black pressure of the military horse, has been sharpening knives, like a long snake, winding to the corner of another mountain, there is no end in sight.
Chen Kaizhi looked at the military horses, but he didn't show the slightest timidity, the whole person was still very calm, and slowly spoke: "The number of people is roughly around 20,000 people, at least this number." ”
Chen Wuji stood under the tree, his eyes were also looking at the military horse, but he couldn't see it clearly, but he saw the flags flying in a dark place, but he heard Chen Kaizhi report the number, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Huang has already counted?" ”
Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "I just saw the handsome team of the Chinese army, and the coach seemed to be surrounded by more than 30 generals and played seventeen flags, naturally, this is just an estimate." Go, go down the mountain, don't be afraid, the sky won't fall. ”
Chen Kaizhi took the telescope, jumped off the tree, then remembered something, and handed the telescope to Chen Wuji: "You take this and give it to you, but when it comes to marching and fighting, the most important thing is to know yourself and the enemy, this is the eyes of the general, with it, although you may not know the whole picture of the other party, you can also get a glimpse of it." ”
Chen Wuji looked at the telescope curiously, but it was not very clear, and he couldn't help but say, "It's vague." ”
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but said: "You have to look far away, you take this to see such a close distance, naturally so, don't look at it yet, go down the mountain." ”
When Chen Kaizhi returned to the defensive circle at the foot of the mountain, it was already a place to wait.
Chen Kaizhi glanced around at everyone, and immediately ordered: "Raise the dragon flag and tell them that I am here, not only to let you know that I am here, but also to let these rebels know that I am here, all listen well, over the years, you and I have fought in the east and west, and today's war is nothing more than that, and now the rebels are in front of me, if I tell you, this is to protect my family and defend the country, and to fight for me, this is ...... It is too false, I only tell you that today you are fighting for your own future, for your achievements, for your future glory and disgrace, and for your children and grandchildren to enjoy your blessings and graces in the future! ”
