Chapter Ninety-Six: Huainan (5)
As for the Shouzhou camp, you can clearly hear all kinds of noises during the siege on the battlefield ahead.
I just heard Li Gu "inadvertently" mention that the emperor was about to rush to Chuzhou, deploy the next military action, take the Southern Tang city north of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and force the Southern Tang lord to submit.
As soon as Chen Xu arrived at the Chinese army, he saw the emperor wearing a round-necked purple robe come out of the tent, followed by a group of civil and military personnel.
He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Chen Xu, the commander of the left wing of the Chenhu Jie Army, has led his troops and horses to Huainan. Knock on Your Majesty, I wish my emperor a long life! "To be honest, as a modern person, I have received an equal education for everyone, and I am really unhappy with the ancient kneeling ceremony, but I have no choice but to bow my head under the eaves.
"Flat." Lu Rong said lightly. He naturally knew Chen Xu, and his amazing performance in Gao Ping's first battle made him know the amazing strength of this young man, but because that performance was too shocking, it became a prejudice and inherent impression, thinking that he was just a rare general, but the battle of the West Expedition made him see Chen Xu's military talent.
So, Chen Xu hurriedly got up and stood by the road, waiting for the emperor and other civil and military ministers to go first. There are a few people in the crowd who know each other, but they are not very familiar with them, such as Li Wenzhao, the commander of the guards and the pro-army Ma Bujun, the highest commander of the guards and the pro-army, and Du Yuhou, who is now promoted to the commander of the guards and the pro-army division (originally the commander of the guards and the pro-army Ma Jun). There are also some people who don't know, but can stay by the emperor's side, and most of them are not low.
After everyone walked over, Chen Xu found a place to cut in line and followed everyone.
Lu Rong looked at the Shouzhou City Tower, the attack and defense were fierce, and said: "I will go to Chuzhou tomorrow, Li Wenzhao is still deployed in the Huainan camp, Chen Xu, I ordered you to recruit envoys for Shouzhou, responsible for attacking Shouzhou." I heard that you once conquered the city of Weiwu in Shuzhong during the western expedition, and you must have a unique way of attacking the city. ”
After listening, what else could Chen Xu say, he was helpless in his heart, there was nothing to do on the surface, so he could only clench his fists and respond to his orders. Judging from the various signs of the past, other things are good to say, such as ineffective combat, things that affect the general strategy of the imperial court are intolerable to the emperor.
"Your Majesty's Order, Thank You Your Majesty!" Chen Xu said stiffly
There are all veterans of the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in the Shouzhou battalion have been attacked for nearly a month, but they have not been taken down. Isn't that embarrassing?
can only blame that his performance in the Western Expedition was too eye-catching at that time, and he dug a pit for himself.
The group inspected the camp, and Lu Rong got on his horse and went back.
As the sun sets, dusk has arrived.
Li Wenzhao said to Chen Xu at this time: "It's not too early, Your Majesty appointed you as the envoy of Shouzhou, responsible for attacking Shouzhou, now hundreds of thousands of horses are gathered here, I will take you to identify people first, and then it will be good to start a war in terms of combat coordination."
Chen Xu hugged his fists and thanked him, then followed Li Wenzhao and walked north.
Not long after walking, there was a commotion ahead, and several loud voices were shouting.
The group of people got closer and closer, several men carried a stretcher, there was a person lying on the stretcher, the man's legs were wrapped in white cloth left and right, tight, the middle was dark red stained with blood, the wound was not small, the appearance of the injured person was painful for others to see, not to mention the party, but the injured person was quite strong, he didn't say a word, but cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, which showed that it was not comfortable.
Chen Xu didn't know these people, he was promoted too quickly, and he didn't know many of the generals of the forbidden army.
However, Li Wenzhao, the upper peak next to him, was familiar with those people, and when they met, they greeted each other and said a few words.
However, it may be that he took into account the injuries of the injured and hurriedly said goodbye and sent him to the rear to recuperate.
Chen Xu listened to the greetings of several people, and he also had a little understanding of things.
Get things straight.
Zhao Yuanlang took a kayak to carry out reconnaissance missions in the moat of Shouzhou City, and the Southern Tang army used bed crossbows to intercept Zhao Yuanlang continuously, and each arrow matched on the bed crossbow was as thick as a beam.
The crossbow arrows were fired, Zhao Yuanlang and the others hurriedly rowed away, away from this dangerous place, but there was still a crossbow arrow, if it continued to develop, it would inevitably hit Zhao Yuanlang.
At the critical moment, the tooth general Zhang Qiong stepped forward and used his body to block the arrow for Zhao Yuanlang, but he was also hit in the thigh and fainted on the spot.
After a while, Zhang Qiong woke up by herself, but the crossbow arrow was too thick, and the arrow could not be pulled out when inserted in the thigh bone.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiong lost a lot of blood, but she still looked calm.
Li Wenzhao sighed a few words: "Good man!"
