Chapter 70 Love is also good for raising the bar
In the dark woods, Li Chengdong and Zhao Daorong "met victoriously".
The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, facing a strong enemy together, when it looks like it is about to be wiped out, there will also be friendship between the rabbit and the fox, and the two green battalion soldiers are very happy to meet, at least there are more people who can strengthen each other's courage and feel safer.
Li Chengdong didn't think so.
With the addition of Zhao Daorong's team, more variables have also been added, not to mention whether the sailor can transport so many people, Zhao Daorong's origin alone is very suspicious, who knows if he is still followed by the tail.
"Why did you come along?"
"Don't mention it, I'm here to run to you!"
Zhao Daorong had a request for others, and when he came up, he put himself on the weak side very clearly, and said: "I know that your Lao Li has always had many methods, and he will never die in vain, and he must have a way to get out." I thought about it carefully today, if I ran to the west stupidly, at most I would be doomed if I ran to Huangshagang, so I quietly stared at you and followed you all the time......"
"You have a heart. But I'm also trying to survive in death, so I may not be able to help you. "They are all people who understand, at this time, it is not interesting to hide and tuck, Li Chengdong did not deny it, of course, he will not lightly confide in the hole cards that the water master answers.
"Help as much as you want, since I came with me, I won't blame you for whether I am dead or alive." Zhao Daorong patted his chest: "Anyway, I am already dead, as long as you can reach out and pull a hand, I will be grateful to be a brother, and from now on, you will be the only one!" ”
Li Chengdong's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and he looked at the hundreds of soldiers behind Zhao Daorong. I nodded inwardly. Obviously, what Zhao Daorong brought out was also the backbone of the pro-soldiers, the elite of the elite. If this elite force can be absorbed, it will be able to make up for all the losses, and even become stronger.
"Of course I can trust your brother Zhao's character, but I'm afraid that your soldiers will not accept it." Li Chengdong said lightly: "They are all old brothers who have been with you for many years, if something happens in the future, won't it hurt the feelings of you and my brother." ”
Zhao Daorong gritted his teeth. said: "As long as you can escape this catastrophe, the lives of these rabbit cubs will be handed over to you, and you will be punished in the future." If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you to decide, and if you are disobedient, you will be driven out with a big stick, and I, Zhao Daorong, will never say anything. ”
He said so. It is to hand over the command of the troops. Even if it is broken up and adapted, it is acceptable, and from then on, he completely surrendered to Li Chengdong.
Li Chengdong stared at his eyes tightly, examined it for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"Brother Zhao is really a cool person, I have a temper with you! In this way, why don't we make friends with eight worships and become brothers with different surnames, how about it? ”
……
Meanwhile. Zhang Shifang fell into a desperate predicament.
As a veteran of pai gow, Zhang Shifang has always been full of tricks. The means of cheating are no less than those of professional veterans. During the day, when the lottery decided the direction of the breakthrough, he pretended to check the cards, but left a special mark on the cards, and then the first one went up to draw lots, and reached out to pick the "north".
Walking north to Fengcheng County, Zhang Shizhu thought that this was the best choice, and as soon as the agreed cannon sounded, he was the first to lead his troops out of the camp.
Calculated people are often reluctant to make small profits, let alone make the choice of a strong man to break his wrist, unlike Li Chengdong, Zhang Shifang was reluctant to leave his main force, so he took all the men and horses to break through together.
Of course, he also knew that he would definitely be intercepted and chased by the Chu army, and the last one would not be able to escape, so he divided it into pieces, divided the thousands of green battalions under his command into several small units, and after breaking through separately, he would make a small-scale separate breakthrough.
Thousands of green battalion soldiers poured out from the gate, spreading out in a fan, and at the same time rushed up in several directions due north, northwest, northeast, northeast, northwest, and northwest, each green battalion ranged from a few hundred to more than a thousand people, Zhang Shifang took the largest of them, and rushed in the direction of due north.
Behind him, there were about 17,800 people, nearly half of whom were his own soldiers who had followed him for many years, brave and brave, and able to fight well.
"Stride, stomp!"
The horse's hooves flew over, and under the light of the fire, a cloud of smoke rose into the sky.
Zhang Shizhu was born in the peasant army of northern Shaanxi, and moved to the northern provinces that year, saving more than 200 cavalry. In Jiangnan, where Yan zhòng lacked war horses, this cavalry unit repeatedly made a big splash and won many battles, and Zhang Shifang also believed that he was strong, and he always looked down on other green battalion soldiers.
"Stride, stomp!"
The horse's hooves flew, and two hundred cavalry lined up in three neat and tight rows, like a slowly moving wall, pressed towards the Chu army.
Three walls!
Li Chuang's unique cavalry tactics of the peasant army once killed the Ming officers and soldiers who fled in despair.
Although the three walls are a cavalry tactic, they have not neglected the cooperation with the infantry, behind more than 200 cavalry, there are 500 infantry armed with spears, and the distance between the two has been maintained at about 50 paces.
With a total of more than 700 pro-soldiers, Zhang Shifang made a desperate bet and sent the strongest troops to take the lead, while the other 1,000 green battalion soldiers followed behind and played a supporting role.
"Stride, stomp!"
The horse's hooves flew over, and when he saw that he was about to collide with the Chu army in front of him, Zhang Shifang suddenly scolded without a head or an end: "Damn, what the hell is Li Chengdong, this old fox?" ”
It was heard very clearly in the wilderness, and there were sounds of fighting in the east and west directions, but there was no movement in the south, and it was obvious that Li Chengdong did not launch with everyone as agreed.
Doing so is obviously selling his teammates, of course Zhang Shifang is very angry, but there is no turning back when he opens the bow, now is not the time to be angry, he must cheer up and fight with the Chu army on the opposite side.
As soon as the battle began, Zhang Shizhu found that the situation was not right, the interception of the Chu army was very tenacious, and the three walls, which had always been invincible, also lost their power. As soon as the cavalry of the Qing army entered the firing range, the bows and arrows on the opposite side shot like raindrops, and the precious cavalry fell in a blink of an eye, and could no longer maintain the rhythm of slow forward pressure.
"Stride, stomp!"
The horse's hooves flew, and the cavalry of the Qing army began to charge, not caring about keeping in touch with the infantry anymore, Zhang Shizhuo flashed a trace of ominous premonition in his heart, in the process of fighting with the Ming army in these years, the three walls were forced to this point for the first time.
"Quick! Hurry up! ”
Zhang Shizhu urged loudly and ordered five hundred pikemen to charge on foot, and they must cover the cavalry.
The 1,000 green battalion soldiers in the back are also selected elites, barely able to keep up with the rhythm, and the Qing army's stormtroop formation is basically complete. Zhang Shizhu subconsciously licked his lips, like a gambler pushing all the chips, and he was very nervous.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the Qing army killed in front of the Chu army, like a huge ship breaking through the waves, and the soldiers of the Chu army turned around and ran away, and they were unexpectedly vulnerable!
"Break the formation! Break the formation! Breaking ......" Zhang Shizu waved his horse sword and shouted excitedly, but suddenly his eyes widened and his mouth was open.
The fleeing Chu soldiers were all archers and firecrackers, like encountering a stream of stones, running to both sides of the Chu army's rear formation, and when they left, they revealed a neat array of spears, with cold stars on the tips of the spears, and under the light of the winter moon, they became more and more cold.
Ma Tong human nature, in the face of the murderous spear array, the war horses of the Qing cavalry slowed down, some cavalry still wanted to charge, but the war horses stood up, neighing loudly, some cavalry rushed up, but the face was stabbed with dense spears, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen blood holes appeared on the body, and they fell to the ground with a bang.
"Withdraw! Withdraw it! ”
The cavalry of the Qing army turned their horses' heads one after another, turned around and fled backwards, but their actions were not uniform, some ran wildly, as if they had been frightened, and some did not run far, still circling in circles nearby, from time to time with bows and arrows, and kept harassing the Chu army.
"Chase! Chase! Such a great opportunity! Why don't the southern thieves chase! Zhang Shizhu kept shouting in his heart, this is the tactic of the three walls that was tried and tested many times back then, if it encounters a strong enemy that is difficult to win, the cavalry deliberately pretends to be a mess, feints to lure the enemy, but the infantry behind suddenly kills, and can win in one fell swoop.
However, the Chu army made him very disappointed, watching the Qing cavalry retreat, but the spear array remained unmoved, and remained firmly in place.
"Who will this Southern Thief Army be? I actually know how powerful the three walls are! Zhang Shifang was stunned, the deception of the cavalry of the Qing army was very realistic, as long as they had not seen it, there were few who were not fooled, since the Chu army did not chase, it means that they knew the details of the three walls.
Raising his eyes and looking at the banner of the Chu army, the opposite side turned out to be the Ji'an battalion, and the word "Gu" on the banner was big, and the main leader of the troops would be Gu Zongfu. Zhang Shizuo felt even more confused, the Ji'an camp had never fought with him, how could he see through the tactics of the three walls?
In the Chu army array, Gu Zongfu sneered again and again.
"Hehe, it's a good show, if you don't know the details, you will really be fooled!"
Gu Zongfu was born in the nine-sided official army in his early years, and he had been guarding Shanxi for many years, his biggest problem was that he loved to lift the bar and complain, and every time he met someone in the loyal camp, he would sneer and keep provoking.
The loyal battalion is all from the peasant army, and the nine-sided official army is a natural rival, although it has now become a family, Gu Zongfu looks at them very unpleasantly, when they meet Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu, they can't quarrel, and when they meet young and vigorous people like Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng, they will fight with each other, and they will never give up if they don't fight.
You say that the army is the most powerful, and I say that the thieves are a group of rabble, and everyone is a professional soldier, so it is inevitable to talk about the army and discuss specific tactics.
After fighting with Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng again and again, Gu Zongfu has long been very familiar with the tactics of the three walls, although he has not seen it in actual combat, he knows how to deal with it.
Feint defeat to lure the enemy? Lie to the ghosts, Lao Tzu should watch the show. (To be continued......)
