Chapter 70 The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is stationed and disturbs
"Report-" A Huanglongzhai spy rushed into the Juyi Hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The faces of the rest of the people changed slightly, and there could be no good news at this time, Zhang Fan said expressionlessly: "Speak!" ”
"Returning to the general, Yan Baihu gathered an army of 20,000 and personally led the army straight to the village, which has passed the boundary of Dongyang County at this time, and can reach the north side of the Longtan River in about three days."
"Keep exploring, report at any time."
"Order!" The spy saluted and stepped back......
Zhang Fan sneered: "Hmph, this Yan Baihu is really the same as the rumors, with a small amount of energy and impetuousness. actually came to send him to death in person, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell to break in, this Huanglong Mountain is the place where the bones of this fang are buried! ”
Ling Tong immediately praised: "The lord is wise, and with a little trickery, a piece of text will lead Yan Baihu to give up the mountain and defend it, but instead run long distances to attack the village." As long as it drags on for ten days and a half months, the thieves will not be able to attack for a long time, and the supply will become more and more difficult. ”
Ling Tong's words also made the rest of the generals present nod their heads one after another, and the gloom was swept away. In fact, except for Ling Tong, who did not express his opinion, the rest of the generals present were worried about the battle against Vietnam and were not very optimistic. However, there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and once the text comes out, there is no room for maneuver. Since Zhang Fan insisted on going his own way, they could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman......
But everyone has reached a consensus on this point, there is no doubt that as long as they can't stick to it, it is purely a fool's dream to take Huanglongzhai with Yan Baihu's 20,000 Shanyue.
Although the people of Shanyue are strong, strong and strong, and they are excellent warriors when they put down their hoes, Shanyue is only good at mountain warfare, attacking cities and breaking through fortifications, which is their weakest link.
You must know that since the economic situation of the cottage improved, Zhang Fan rebuilt the original three guards, not only widened and heightened, but also used a new product of the workshop, which was previously unheard of by them called "cement", which was as hard as iron and stone after solidification, and all the exterior walls and city gates were reinforced.
In addition, Zhang Fan bought arrows, fire oil, rolling stones, logs, and ...... early, and the stock was enough to fight a war of attrition for more than a year, and the food and fresh water were also sufficient, so it can be said that the entire Huanglongzhai was seamless and indestructible.
"What a pity! This meter can only be used once...... Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I'm afraid that Jiangdong will not have a second idiot like Yan Baihu in the future, right? ”
Zhang Fan took in everyone's expressions and decisively ordered: "Ling Tong." ”
"The end will be." Ling Tong stepped forward and saluted.
"Divide your 300 cavalry, disturb along the road that Yan Baihu must pass, don't seek to kill the enemy, don't wrestle, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, just mess up his mind, understand?"
"Order."
"Well, let's get ready!" Zhang Fan waved his hand, and Ling Tong bowed and stepped back......
……
Sixty miles away from Shanyin County, the pomegranate mountain, is the temporary garrison of Yan Baihu Shanyue's army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, seven or eight Shanyue generals knelt in a row, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, although three or nine days but sweating profusely, this tent was quiet and terrible, half loud Yan Baihu asked compassionately:
"Who was in charge of the vigil last night?"
A middle-aged general stammered:
"Back to ...... Back to Yan Shuai, yes...... Be...... It's the last general. ”
Yan Baihu glanced at him indifferently and ordered:
"Push me out and cut it, along with everyone who was on duty yesterday!"
"Ahh Yan Shuai...... Yan Shuai spares his life...... Yan Shuai ......"
When the middle-aged general was pulled out, he cried and begged for mercy, but Yan Baihu was not moved. The rest of the people didn't dare to move, silent, for fear that it would be their turn next. Fortunately, Yan Baihu snorted coldly and ordered:
"Yan Jie, you read last night's damage report to all the adults."
"Obey." A guard standing on the left side of Yan Baihu took out a bamboo slip and began to read:
"In the arson of the thieves last night, 230 tents, about 20 stones of grain (one stone is equal to 120 catties), 464 quilts, 62 horses, more than 4,000 arrows, 136 people were killed, 358 people were injured, and there were a number of other objects."
The muscles on Yan Baihu's face were trembling angrily, and a fierce gaze burst out of his eyes, and he scolded:
"Bastards, do you hear me? The casualties add up to more than five hundred! And this is the seventh time, a full seven! 1st & 2nd ...... You can shirk the fact that you are not prepared, the third time, the fourth time...... And even the seventh time, how do you explain it? ”
A little hypoxic, Yan Baihu changed his tone and continued to scold:
"Ling Tong is a weeping child, but the number of thirteen, leading three hundred thieves, seven in and seven out, seeing Er and others like grass and trees, such as entering the realm of no one, vain and other self-proclaimed heroes on weekdays, what face do you have to live in the world now?"
Everyone's old faces turned red, and they lowered their heads silently, Yan Baihu saw everyone's appearance, and was about to have a seizure, when suddenly the guards guarding the middle account came to report:
"Qi Yu Yan Shuai, Yan Yu and Ren Chuan, the two generals are back."
Yan Yu was Yan Baihu's younger brother, commanding the horse army, and Ren Chuan was his lieutenant, and the two were ordered to pursue Ling Tong's three hundred cavalry.
"Let them in." Yan Baihu returned to the main seat and sat down, watching Yan Yu and the others kneel down and salute him, and when they saw their dusty and dejected appearances, his heart suddenly felt cold.
"Qi Qi Yan Shuai, the last general is incompetent, the pursuit of Ling Tong for thirty miles has not been successful, please punish Yan Shuai."
Damn, labor and management knew that it would be like this, and they didn't catch it six times before, so how could this time be an exception? I chased you out for thirty miles, and I couldn't touch your leg hair for ten miles, right?
Yan Baihu gasped angrily, his hands trembled, and he scolded for a long time:
"Waste, it's all waste, what's the use of raising you, push it out for me!"
After all, Yan Yu is his own brother, and everyone understands that Yan Baihu is just putting on a show, and he cooperated with him to dissuade him in turn, and only after half a ring did Yan Baihu pretend to compromise:
"Today, I was going to take the heads of the two dogs, and for the sake of everyone, I would not die, and I would make meritorious service with my crimes. However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and a heavy fine of 30 rods, dismissal from office, and transfer to the vanguard battalion. ”
Everyone persuaded again, after all, the sword and gun have no eyes, and the high mortality rate of the pioneer battalion is a well-known thing, Yan Baihu said angrily:
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, although Yan Yu is my mother's compatriot, but this handsome man has always been rewarded for meritorious service, punished for mistakes, and never favoritism, I have made up my mind. Needless to say. ”
Everyone praised endlessly, but their hearts were full of pity: I! Never favoritism?! If Yan Yu wasn't your own brother, he would have been beheaded the first six times, right? Now that you're sacking him, you don't want him to continue to take the blame, right?
