"General, it's not good, it seems that the Tartar reinforcements have arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There was also movement on the surface of the info river, and it was supposed that the Tartars had mobilized their sailors. The general's mission this time seems to have failed, so let's withdraw quickly. If we continue to delay, it is estimated that we will be surrounded by Tartar soldiers and horses. After fighting for a while, although the elite of the nearly 1,000 black-clothed troops under the leadership of Zhang Mingtong were still like tigers descending from the mountain.

But the unfavorable Qianhu official, who noticed that the situation had begun to gradually become easier, couldn't help but inform Zhang Mingtong of the worries in his heart at this time.

And when Zhang Mingtong heard this, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and after withdrawing from the front line of fierce fighting, he looked around, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Damn, Zhang Chun is really incompetent." With a thousand elite soldiers, he couldn't even drag the Tartars for half an hour, what a bastard! ”

Apparently, he also noticed an unfavorable turn of events at this time.

So after scolding angrily, Zhang Mingtong looked at the elite soldiers beside him who were regarded as the backbone of the black-clothed army, so he had to grit his teeth and order: "Quick, pass on my military order, and the whole army will evacuate immediately, and there will be no war!" ”

After saying this, more than 100 guards beside him couldn't help but take the initiative to kill the front line as the soldiers and horses of the palace. And he couldn't help but take the rest of the soldiers and horses, fought and retreated, and rushed back to the place where he landed again.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell into the way of a dog tartar. Quick, everybody, get me on the boat and cross the river at once, let's go. After fighting all the way and retreating to the bank of the Han River, Zhang Mingtong couldn't help but find the Tartar sailors who were dispatching and preparing to block the river.

Therefore, after secretly screaming a few lucks in his heart, Zhang Mingtong waved his hand, and he couldn't help but order his soldiers to get on the boat immediately.

However, seeing that Zhang Mingtong and the others were about to leave by boat, the officers and soldiers who felt that they had won a great victory could not help but have a kind of pride in chasing the dead and chasing the north.

"Brothers, thieves want to escape, let's kill them!" They shouted and roared like this, completely forgetting the fear of being killed by these nearly a thousand black-clothed soldiers. One by one, they brandished their weapons and rushed forward like wild dogs that had found bones.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Mingtong waved his big knife, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn, the tiger doesn't wield, you really can't wait for me to be a sick cat." Old Niu, now hurry up and organize the brothers to get on the boat, and I will stop them! ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" When this Niu surnamed Qianhu heard Zhang Mingtong say this, he wanted to advise at first. But when he saw Zhang Mingtong's determined eyes, he had to say such a thing.

Hearing his words, Zhang Mingtong nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted to the guards beside him: "Brothers, come, kill Tartar with me!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his knife to meet him.

'The general is the courage of the soldiers' Seeing that Zhang Mingtong was still like this, the soldiers couldn't help but have more courage in their hearts, and they roared and rushed over with Zhang Mingtong and him.

"Die!" With a roar, the snow-bright steel knife couldn't help but fly in the night. Therefore, a member of the officers and soldiers of a hundred households, only to see a flash of knife light, and they can't help but see a black in front of them, and the heads are separated.

After killing a hundred Tartars with a knife and a face, Zhang Mingtong, who was like a hellish ghost stained by the blood on his neck, couldn't help but kill more and more violently.

And under their frantic rush, in just a short time, dozens of officers and soldiers couldn't help but fall in a pool of blood. While the corpses of dozens of people spread on the ground, the blood couldn't help but dye the ground under everyone's feet red.

"Haha, happy. Your grandfather Zhang Mingtong and Zhang are here, and you dare to take my head! After three or five days of slashing with a knife, Zhang Mingtong looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him who were so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward, he laughed disdainfully, and couldn't help grinning at them so provocatively.

However, in response to Zhang Mingtong's provocation, the officers and soldiers not only did not muster up courage, but were even more afraid.

So much so that when they saw Zhang Mingtong raising his knife and about to charge, this group of people was so frightened that they took several steps back.

"Haha, a bunch of gutsless rats. Grandpa goes, and I won't be entangled with you tonight. Seeing this scene, Zhang Mingtong looked up to the sky and smiled. After scolding arrogantly, he couldn't help but return to the boat with all the guards around him.

Looking at the back of Zhang Mingtong and their departure, all the officers and soldiers on the shore looked at each other, but none of them dared to step forward to stop them.

……

"Marshal, the navy acted a step too late, and failed to stop the attacking black-clothed thieves, so they all fled." A quarter of an hour later, in the camp of the Chinese army where Badulu was located, a personal guard soldier knelt down on one knee and reported to Badulu.

Hearing this, Badulu's eyes widened, and his face couldn't help but become extremely gloomy.

"Very good, I see, you can step down." With a long sigh, Badulu stubbornly suppressed the anger in his heart. He couldn't help waving his hand and said to the soldier.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing the words of Badulu, this pro-guard naturally knew that Badulu was not in a good mood at this time. Therefore, after singing a promise for the first time, the pro-guard couldn't help bending down and bowing his head, and obediently withdrew from the camp tent of Badulu.

"Hehe, the soldiers and horses are still no match for the elite of the black-clothed thieves!" Alone, sitting high on the Lord's seat in the tent. Answer: Badulu was silent for a long time, but he couldn't help but say such a sentence.

However, after saying this, Badulu turned to look at the north side of the camp, but he couldn't help grinning: "My soldiers and horses can't compare to you, but the sailor can't catch up with you." You've failed again tonight, and I'll see what tricks you have up your sleeve after tonight. ”

As he spoke, Badulu couldn't help but slap the armrest, and his tone was full of meaning.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. It is just said that at this time, on the north bank of the Han River, Zhang Mingtong and Zhang Chun, the two defeated generals who were covered in blood and embarrassed, couldn't help but come to Zhang Shihua.

"Lord, the last general is incompetent, he failed to complete the affairs of the lord's bus, and he disappointed the lord, please punish the lord!" The first is Zhang Mingtong, looking at Zhang Shihua's gloomy face. He couldn't help but kneel on his knees, and kowtowed heavily on the ground, so he pleaded guilty.

And with Zhang Mingtong taking the lead, Zhang Chunzi over there also kept kowtowing, and his attitude of admitting his guilt was extremely good.

"Well, all of you, get up. I can't blame you all for the failure of this night attack, you have done a good job this time, so please step down. After being silent for a long time, Zhang Shihua looked at the two kneeling on the ground. In the end, he couldn't help waving his hand and said so.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, although Zhang Mingtong was a little ashamed, he still stood up. As for Zhang Chun, who knelt behind him, when he saw him stand up, needless to say, he naturally stood up with him.

"After two consecutive night raids failed, the Tartars will inevitably be more prepared in the future, and it seems that the method of night raids in the future will not work at all this time." When the two of them obediently stood up from the ground and bowed their heads and retreated behind Zhang Shihua. Zhang Shihua looked at the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river, sighed deeply, and couldn't help but say so.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's self-caring words, Zhang Mingtong and Zhang Chun couldn't help lowering their heads in shame.

However, Zhang Shihua was not in the mood to pay attention to them at this time, and after saying this with a sigh, he issued an order to disband, and returned to his Chinese army camp with the guards beside him.

……

After that, with this defeat, the result was exactly as expected by Badulu. The morale of the black-clad army must have suffered a blow, and because there was no other effective way to defeat the enemy, the rest of the days were once again in a stalemate between the two armies.

This time, the stalemate lasted for almost ten days, and lasted until the twenty-third day when Zhang Shihua led his troops here. At this time, the time before and after this battle not only became the longest battle fought by Zhang Shihua since the uprising.

And even more unfavorable, by this time, Zhang Shihua's military rations were finally eaten up by nearly 20,000 soldiers.

So on the twenty-third day, on the morning of this day, Zhang Shihua was in the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhang Shihua, who was already anxious about this matter, couldn't help but find Zhao Ziyu again, and with his last hope, he discussed a way to break the enemy.

"Ziyu, you're here, sit down." Although the defeat of the offense in the past few days has made Zhang Shihua a little irritable, Zhang Shihua is a person who can restrain his emotions. At this time, he does not use his subordinates as a punching bag, and his attitude towards them remains unchanged as usual.

And for Zhang Shihua's respectful attitude, Zhao Ziyu is naturally very grateful. So he first made a deep gesture to Zhang Shihua, and then Shi Shiran sat down.

"Hey, Ziyu, do you know that our military rations are only enough to eat for nine days now. That is to say, if we can't find a way to defeat the enemy in six days, and we can't defeat the Tartars on the other side of the river in one fell swoop, we will have to withdraw our troops. So Ziyu, let me ask you, have you thought of any way to defeat the enemy these days? ”

Looking at Zhao Ziyu sitting under the tent, Zhang Shihua sighed, smiled bitterly at him, and couldn't help asking.

"My lord, my subordinates want to ask you, how many people in the whole army know about the shortage of soldiers' rations?" did not answer Zhang Shihua's question, Zhao Ziyu asked instead.

"In addition to you and me, only Xi Qiao, who is in charge of our army's logistics, knows about the matter of military rations. However, Xiqiao is also a sensible person, and he will not tell anyone but me about the shortage of military rations. In response to Zhao Ziyu's question, Zhang Shihua raised his eyebrows and replied.

"Well, my lord. If that's the case, the subordinates really came up with a way to defeat the enemy. However, this method is extremely dangerous, and his subordinates do not dare to make any guarantees to the lord. So whether you want to use this method or not depends on you. ”

"Oh, what's the solution?" Suddenly, hearing Zhao Ziyu say this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but widen his eyes. Looking at him, he asked.

Unlike Zhang Shihua's urgency, Zhao Ziyu at this time took a deep breath before slowly saying to Zhang Shihua: "Lord, my method is a deceit to break the boat." ”

"A deceitful plan to break the boat? Please explain in detail why. Zhang Shihua was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but continue to ask.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's question, Zhao Ziyu, who was sitting under the tent, took a deep breath again, and then couldn't help but say: "General, you know that the combat power of our army on land can be said to be ten times that of Tartar. ”

"And this means that as long as we can attract the Tartars and let their main forces take the initiative to attack ashore, then our army will be able to turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop. Therefore, out of this thought, after several days of meditation, the subordinates couldn't help but think of this deceitful plan. ”

"My lord, you know, the person who answered Badulu is from a Jiangmen family. So since this person was born, it has been smooth sailing. Therefore, the defeat against our army not long ago should be the most ruthless heel he has planted in his life. ”

"So for this reason, I think he must be very eager to take revenge for the loss of Badulu. Because the fiasco not long ago was not only the worst defeat in his life, but also the first battle he fought after he lost Badulu and was promoted to Pingzhang by the imperial court. ”

"So whether it's a personal grudge or a public feud in the court. He replied that the loss of Badulu must be like defeating us and taking revenge. And if that's the case, then why don't we give him this chance? ”

"Think about it, my lord, if we give him a camp in a few days, when he thinks he has a chance to win but can't wait. Then the subordinates can expect that in order to lose the character of Badulu himself, at least there is an eighty percent chance that he will take the initiative to sneak attack us with the elite. ”

"And when that happens, nature will be our only hope of victory." Looking at Zhang Shihua, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but say all these words word by word.

Hearing his words, Zhang Shihua touched the short beard on his chin, but couldn't help but be silent.

"Ziyu, you know, that's Yingxiao. Even if it's fake, if you want to make that look, our army will still be in chaos, you know. Don't dare to say anything else, if there is really chaos in the middle of the night, Meng Haima and Zhang Chun and the 3,000 death battalions selected from the captive miners will definitely be in chaos. ”

"And when the time comes, the fake camp may also become the real camp roar. Your plan is a great possibility, but it has to be said that it is too dangerous. If something goes wrong, we're really doomed, you know. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Shihua, who had a serious face, couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziyu and said.
