Chapter Fifty-Nine: Fighting the Officers and Soldiers
There is such an excellent cloth, Xian'e weaves, and the goddess is machined. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Ice silkworm practice silk, skillful craftsman tossing for the thread. There are red agate, purple coral, night pearls, and relics. If the sun and the moon are out of it, the stars are brilliant like it......
Originally, this cloth was used to make a robe for the golden cicada, and it was able to cut five pieces of "water-clearing treasure robe", Tang Seng, Sha Seng, Bajie, Wukong, and Bailongma were one by one, but unfortunately the person in charge of cutting cut and cut, and the last cloth only made a small pair of pants. The pants are beautiful, but what about the robes!
In fact, such a dilemma is placed in front of Liang Zhongshu.
said that he would give 100,000 yuan to his father-in-law Cai Jingjin, but he was robbed halfway. Only a small padded jacket made by Cai Jing's daughter for her father was sent to Tokyo.
The little padded jacket is certainly a piece of filial piety for her daughter, but what about a good 100,000 yuan?
Liang Zhongshu was angry, and was scolded by Cai Jing's daughter, a tigress, at home. But as a left-behind guard in the Daimyo's Mansion, he covered the sky with his own hands in the Daimyo, but when he arrived at Jingdong Road, he had no choice but to send an official letter to urge.
But when Cai Jing, the bigwig of the DPRK and China, was angry, the world was shaken.
The entire Jingxi Road and Jingdong East Road are full of chickens and dogs. In particular, in Jeju Prefecture, where the robbery occurred, Cai Jing sent a confidant to tell Jeju Prefecture Yin that the deadline was 10 days, and if the seven jujube sellers, wine sellers, Yang Zhi and others could not be arrested, Fu Yin would be sent to Salmon Island.
As soon as he heard the word "Salmon Island", Fu Yin softened, sat on the ground, and kept complaining. But for the sake of his life, he had to find He Tao, the arrest envoy. said to He Tao: "If you can't catch the thief in ten days, I will send you before I am assigned!" After speaking, he ordered someone to tattoo words on He Tao's face and wrote, "Distribution... state".
The empty place depends on He Tao's performance, just like filling in the blanks, if the performance is not good, it will be assigned to the Yanmen side plug; If you perform well, you will always be empty.
As a result, He Tao had ridiculous words tattooed on his face, and he began to look for clues in frustration.
At the same time, at the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion, Murong Yanda, the governor of the prefecture, was also forced to start to clean up the bandits in the territory, saying that there are three thief mountains in Qingzhou Mansion, one is Qingfeng Mountain, the second is Erlong Mountain, and the third is Peach Blossom Mountain.
At the center of these three mountains, there is a small town on flat land, which was built into a military camp and is called Qingfeng Village. There are five or six hundred soldiers, Liu Gao of Wenzhizhai and Huarong of Wuzhizhai.
Qingzhou Fucheng is two days away from Qingfeng Village. There is a team of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed there, the general thunderbolt fire Qin Ming has the courage of ten thousand people, the soldiers and horses are all overseered Huang Xin, the martial arts are strong, and the power is shocking Qingzhou, which is called the three mountains of the town.
The entire Jingxi Road and Jingdong East Road were clamoring to arrest Yang Zhi and the others, and Murong Yanda had no choice but to make a show and let Huang Xin of Zhensanshan send troops to sweep the three mountains in the jurisdiction.
can't catch Yang Zhi and the others, that's a matter of ability, and Cai Jing also has to remember that you have no merit and hard work. But if there is no action, it is a matter of attitude, and it is disrespectful to Master Cai Jing, so you have to wear small shoes.
Huang Xin led 500 soldiers and horses to Qingfeng Village first, and Liu Gao and Hua Rong saw that their bosses were coming, so they naturally had to entertain them well. Huang Xin took Qingfeng Village as a base, allocated grain and grass, and the persimmons were pinched from the soft first, and then they moved on Peach Blossom Mountain.
The officers and soldiers besieged Peach Blossom Mountain, and the tiger general Li Zhong and the little overlord Zhou Tong fought together against Huang Xin, and fled into the mountains in a hurry, with countless casualties and countless casualties, so they had to stick to the walled gate.
Zhou Tong returned to the village and discussed with Li Zhong: "Brother, this Huang Xin's martial arts are so strong that he can't stop it, so he has to retreat to the mountain." If he comes back to attack the mountain, what can he do? ”
Li Zhong said: "I heard about the Erlongshan Baozhu Temple, where the flower monk Lu Zhishen made a chair. It's better to write a book and ask the little minions to go there for help. If you solve the crisis, you have to entrust him to Dazhai, even if you enter the service every month. ”
Zhou Channel: "The younger brother also knows a lot about his heroes, but he is afraid that the monk will remember what happened at the beginning and refuse to come to the rescue." ”
Li Zhong said with a smile: "He beat you again at that time, and got a lot of gold and silver wine vessels from us, how can he be surprised?" He is a good and upright man, and when he makes people to the other side, he will inevitably lead the army to save him. ”
Zhou Daodao: "My brother is also right. ”
So he wrote a letter, sending two little minions who had done something, and they would go down from the back mountain and take the road to Erlong Mountain. After traveling for two days, I arrived at the bottom of the mountain early and reported the situation to the mountain.
At this time, Chao Chong was writing a letter to his father Chao Gai, asking him to find a way to get out as soon as possible, Bai Sheng, the white mouse, might have been caught, and Chao Gai should have been exposed.
When I heard that Taohuashan came to ask for help, I was stunned, what the hell is this Qingzhou prefect doing? Robbing the birthday gang is about his, and he is also here to join in the fun!
But Jianghu people, what they pay attention to is a righteous spirit, others have a request for you, you can't easily refuse.
Shi Qian, who was in charge of intelligence work, also came to report and told in detail about the incident of Zhensanshan Huang Xin's expedition against Taohua Mountain.
Chao Chong thought about it for a while, sealed the letter, and let Shi Qian travel day and night, and rushed back to Dongxi Village as soon as possible, so that his father Chao Gai immediately transferred to Shijie Village in Liangshan County, especially everyone's family members must be well protected.
Shi Qian received the order and personally took a few people down the mountain.
Chao Chong ordered the leaders to come and discuss the rescue of Peach Blossom Mountain.
Soon the congregation will be there. Lei Ting, Dongfang Xiao, Cao Zheng, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, Chao Yang, Luda, Yang Zhi, and Chao Sheng sat down in order.
Chao Chong sent a letter of help from Taohuashan to Lu Zhishen, and briefly introduced the situation in Qingzhou Mansion to the generals.
After that, Chao Chong asked: "Master, how do you and the tiger general Li Zhong and the little overlord Zhou Tong know each other, what do you think of the two?" ”
General Lu Zhishen told the generals about the acquaintance with Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, and hummed: "When the Sprinkle family left Wutai Mountain, they went to a peach blossom village to stay, and they beat Zhou Tong for a bird. Li Zhong's house came, but he recognized the Sprinkle family, but he invited him to go up the mountain to eat wine for a day, get acquainted with the Sprinkle family as a brother, and leave me to be the owner of the village. I saw that these guys were stingy, and I ran away with some gold and silver utensils. ”
The crowd laughed, and it sounded funny.
Li Kui smiled: "It turns out that they are two stingy ghosts who have no ability, what are you going to do to save them?" ”
Lei Ting also said: "Although we are not afraid of the officers and soldiers, but for such a person, it is not worth it!" ”
Wu Song said: "They begged us and didn't save them, for fear of being told that they had no righteousness!" ”
Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "We are guarding the cottage and protecting the mountain, and we should not have rescued it." But one is afraid of ruining the reputation on the rivers and lakes, and the other is afraid that Huang Xinna will win the Peach Blossom Mountain, so he will underestimate me and wait here, and then attack again, but he will also have to fight! ”
Lu Zhishen said: "Although I don't like Li Zhong and Zhou Tong as people, I have to say that the two of them are indeed not bad people. Thinking that Li Zhong asked him to make up the silver back then, he took out a handful of loose silver, which didn't seem to be much, but it might be what he earned from performing arts for a month. On Peach Blossom Mountain, he entertained me not to use ceramic cups and plates, but to use gold and silver utensils, which can be seen to be respectful. That week, Tongqiang married a people's daughter, but he also followed the etiquette, and the Ming media was marrying, so he was not a bad person, he could only be regarded as an incompetent person. Now that they are in trouble, they ask for the head of the Sprinkle family, but if they don't help, the Sprinkler family will not go. Boss, decide! ”
Chao Chong smiled: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Qingzhou was originally three mountains, and if there is one less mountain, the power of the government will be greater. Naturally, we can't let them get their way. ”
Chao Sheng said: "Do you want to make some conditions with Peach Blossom Mountain?" The emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, right? ”
Chao Chong smiled: "If you win, everything is mine, and Peach Blossom Mountain is no exception." Therefore, I decided as follows: the first capital of Thunder, the third capital of Luda, and the Chaosheng archery team will fight, and the second capital of Wu Song will stay. I personally led the team. Prepare for half a day, bring enough dry food and drinking water for three days, and set off after nightfall, and above. ”
Thunder, Luda, Wu Song, and Chao Sheng came out of the column and said, "Command!" ”
After preparing for half a day, when the sun went down and the weather was not so hot, everyone set off towards Peach Blossom Mountain. Let the minions of Peach Blossom Mountain rush back to the mountain first to report the news, and let them do their best to hold on until the reinforcements arrive.
Two days later, Chao Chong and others finally arrived at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, and first sent Li Kui to inquire about the news, and learned that Huang Xin was leading 500 soldiers to attack the mountain, and the rear was empty, obviously not yet found that Chao Chong and others had arrived.
Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. The offensive is at this time.
The first and third capitals were all spearmen, each with five teams, and the offensive formation was lined up by the first four teams, forming a 40*5 rectangular phalanx, and one team followed the rectangular phalanx as a reserve, and at the same time guarded against enemy attacks from the flanks.
The head of the first capital, Thunder, the head of the sect, Dongfang Xiao, and Yuhou Cao are standing at the front of the queue. Behind him is a phalanx of 40x5 spears. The last 10x5 spearmen in the phalanx. Each team has a team that restricts the team, and each team has a leader who keeps the queue neat.
Luda, the head of the second capital, and Yang Zhi, the head of the sect, also stood at the front of their queue.
Chao Chong and Li Kui stood behind the spearmen phalanx, which was convenient for them to take a look at the overall command. Li Kui stood beside Chao Chong, carrying a big flag with a red background, and there was no writing on it, just a dragon embroidered.
The archers team is Chao Sheng's leader, who walks in the last formation.
More than 500 people entered the battlefield in a neat step, which quickly attracted the attention of the Qingzhou army and reported to Huang Xin, who was supervising the battle in the front.
Huang Xin was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew his troops from the mountain and went to the foot of the mountain to take battle. Although Li Zhong and Zhou Tong on the mountain saw the arrival of reinforcements, they were already frightened by Huang Xin and did not dare to pursue, so Huang Xin calmly withdrew his troops for battle.
The Qingzhou Army belongs to the local Xiang Army, and in the general environment where the central forbidden army is negligent in training, the military discipline and training of the local Xiang Army are even more unbearable.
Huang Xin rode on a horse, carrying the mourning sword, and stepped forward to shout: "Who is the thief?" Notification of the first name! ”
Name: Huang Xin (Zhen Sanshan)
Health: 2500/2500
Commander-in-Chief: 80
Force: 83
Intelligence: 71
Politics: 68
Charisma: 64
Affinity: Hostile
Trait: Trample (Has a natural suppressive power on those with a lower commander value than him.) )
Chao Chong's Erlong Mountain is poor, and they don't even have a good horse, and both the head and the soldiers are on foot. Chao Chong didn't answer, let the gun array continue to advance, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be delayed by his words, take advantage of the unstable formation of the enemy, continue to advance!" ”
Thunder and Ruda also commanded loudly: "Rush forward!" Rush! ”
The two spear phalanxes behind him also walked slowly, but neatly, and shouted in unison: "Advance!" Rush! Rush! ”
Huang Xin saw that these thieves didn't pay attention to the rules at all, they didn't even know the names of the reports, and they didn't even dare to go head-to-head with the generals, but they looked back at their five hundred soldiers, crooked, and the formation was not in order, so he had to boost morale and said: "The thieves are cowardly and dare not face the battle, sons, fight bravely to kill the enemy, go back and reward you with good wine and meat!" Rush with me! ”
After finishing speaking, he was followed by dozens of pro-soldiers, taking the lead in killing the spear phalanx.
Chao Chong saw that Huang Xin did not wait for the battle, and he fought in formation, but the reckless leader of the charge, he couldn't help but snort coldly, the most powerful thing in the official army is the bow and crossbow, and the battle is to be in a tight position, and to use the bow and crossbow to injure the enemy, is what Chao Chong is most worried about, since Huang Xin is so supportive, Chao Chong will naturally not be polite, and ordered Li Kui to plant the Canglong banner in place, and ordered loudly: "Stick here, my banner will not move, and the generals need to be as solid as a rock!" ”
Thunder and Ruda shouted an order: "Gun array, hold on!" Hold! ”
The two spear phalanxes behind him shouted in unison: "Hold on! Hold! Hold! ”
Huang Xin rode like the wind, raised the five-foot-long mourning sword, and took advantage of the horse's momentum to slash at the thunder at the front of the first capital.
Thunder stood on the ground, holding the long-handled Pu knife in both hands, and used the method of deflection to unload Huang Xin's sword strike.
Huang Xin and Thunder passed sideways, Huang Xin's horse kept continuing to rush forward, and Thunder did not look back, continued to meet Huang Xin's personal soldiers, his body was short, and he dodged a knife from the pro-soldier immediately, Pu Dao waved and cut off the two front legs of the war horse, the war horse inertia forward, fell to the ground, and the personal soldiers on the horse also fell to the ground, and were stabbed to death by the spearmen behind Lei Thunder.
After Huang Xin and Thunder struck, they saw the dense spear heads of the spear phalanx, and they didn't dare to break through, so they galloped along the edge of the phalanx, and looked at a bald fat monk in front of the phalanx, and shouted: "Bald donkey, die!" ”
Lu Zhishen is not a good-tempered person, do I look like a soft persimmon who is easy to bully? Came to me?
Lu Zhishen's sixty-two pound water mill Zen staff knocked Huang Xin's mourning sword open, and Huang Xin's mouth almost cracked.
Just as he was frightened, he suddenly saw a flash of white light, and a simple knife slashed at his head, hurriedly bowed his head, parried with a sword, panicked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his horse and fled.
Lu Zhishen's Zen staff arrived again, but he didn't hit Huang Xin, but swept the war horse, the war horse was frightened, his hooves flew up, and Lu Zhishen had to dodge.
Taking advantage of this, Huang Xin hurriedly patted the horse and left. Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi wanted to fight again, but they couldn't catch up.
Huang Xin fled back to his own army formation, frightened, he was too dangerous just now, he was also a person with strong martial arts, he originally thought that one person and one horse could rush the bandit formation to pieces, but he didn't want to almost lose his life in a few rounds. Where did this strongman come from?
Huang Xin relied on his horse and fled back to the formation, but his own soldiers who charged forward with him were killed by more than a dozen of the generals.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining soldiers also hurriedly fled back. As a result, before the two armies officially clashed, the officers and troops lost for a while, and their morale was wildly discharged. The soldiers of Erlongshan are also recruits who have never seen blood, which shows that the leader is so powerful and his morale is high.
The officers and soldiers of Erlongshan finally approached within fifty paces, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not large, but the morale was completely different.
Chao Chong and Li Kui guarded the banner and stood still.
The spear phalanx held the bitter bamboo spear and waited for it.
Chao Sheng, who was behind the phalanx, saw that the distance was close, and Chao Chong agreed, so he ordered fifty archers to start shooting, not seeking precision, but only concentrated coverage, and undermining the morale of the officers and soldiers.
Fifty feathered arrows fell from the sky, causing few casualties to the charging officers and soldiers, but this threat from the sky made the morale of the officers and soldiers drop again.
Facing the onslaught of the officers and troops. In the front row of the spear phalanx, there were generals such as Lei Ting, Dongfang Xiao, Cao Zheng, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi who withstood the greatest pressure. The spearmen were in the first row with flat-ended pikes, the second from the waist of the first row, and the third from the top of the first two rows. The three platoons of soldiers only had to follow the slogans of the commanders, keep bayonet, collect the guns, stab again, and keep repeating the process. The soldiers in the fourth and fifth platoons need to pull back the spearmen in front of them when there are casualties in front of them, and they themselves are substituted.
The thickness of five platoons of spearmen was enough to cope with the onslaught of infantry and ordinary cavalry.
Huang Xin was condescending on the horse, and he saw clearly, his officers and soldiers were like the tide hitting the embankment, impacting again and again, and being blocked back again and again, although those spearmen used some bitter bamboo guns, but they were also very fatal to the soldiers of the box army without good armor protection.
The archers behind the spearmen also fired volleys from time to time, so that when the officers and soldiers attacked, they kept raising their heads, fearing that the danger would fall.
Huang Xin secretly hated that if this continued, morale would have to collapse. Huang Xin hurriedly gathered a hundred people, personally led the team, and decided to attack from the flanks and rear, first scattering those archers to relieve the danger above their heads, and then penetrating the thieves from behind, leaving them vulnerable to the enemy.
The width of the battlefield is only more than 100 meters, and it is easy to go around to the rear of the thief army, Huang Xin was secretly happy, but as soon as he bypassed, he found that behind the spear phalanx of the thief army, there was a team of spearmen who did not participate in the battle and were waiting for it.
The captain of the fifth team, who was on standby in the rear, watched his comrades in front of him try their best to fight, but he did nothing, he was secretly anxious, and he didn't want to take credit but ran by himself.
Chao Chong ordered the 5th Spear Corps, which had been on standby, to meet Huang Xin and protect the flanks of the phalanx. At the same time, Chao Sheng was ordered to adjust the direction of the archery team's shooting, and cooperate with the fifth team to fight Huang Xin.
Chao Chong saw that the front of the battlefield was already insufficient because Huang Xin had transferred a hundred people, and the soldiers had no desire to fight, so he ordered: "The enemy in front is weak, and it is the time to break the enemy, rush forward, rush forward!" ”
Li Kui got the order, raised the three-zhang Canglong flag that was stuck on the ground, rushed out from the gap between the two spearmen phalanx, and said in a heaven-shattering voice: "Rush forward!" Rush! "Rushed into the enemy group, holding the three-zhang Canglong flag, and with one sweep, a large number of officers and soldiers fell to the ground.
Thunder and Lu Zhishen also shouted when they heard the order: "Rush forward!" Rush! ”
The two spearmen had built up their confidence in the battle just now, and they both shouted: "Advance! Rush! Rush! ”
The five generals of Lei Ting, Dongfang Xiao, Cao Zheng, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi charged forward, like a sharp knife, breaking through the cowhide. The neat phalanx of spearmen continued to rush forward, and officers and soldiers were constantly stabbed to the ground.
The officers and men in front retreated step by step, and finally collapsed, shouting to discard their weapons and flee in all directions.
The frontal enemy broke and fled, but Huang Xin, who was attacking on the flank, had not yet broken through the gun formation of the Fifth Spear Corps.
The generals in the army should be as steady as a rock, and if the command is determined, they should not be moved lightly. This is also the reason why Chao Chong did not charge forward and did not participate in the battle.
The banner in the army represents Chao Chong, which is the position of the general. Chao Chong was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Kui's behavior of charging forward privately. But thinking about it again, it seems that it is indeed a bit difficult for Li Kui, a murderous person, to stay by his side honestly and carry the flag, and it seems that he has to recruit another person to carry the flag instead of Li Kui.
