Chapter 188: A Hundred Miles of Attack
Under the high-intensity exertion of a night of rapid marching, several generals felt inexplicable excitement, yes, the excitement of longing for battle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The summer sun is a little scorching on the body, and people who can't sleep after running around all night can't help but squint their eyes. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and in a daze, I suddenly heard the sentry report that the scout had returned.
Shocked, the generals immediately got up, "Where is that kid?" Why are you back now? ”
Immediately, a young man dressed in Korean clothes was brought over, and knelt in front of Wang Sunjian, "General, the villain has already found out clearly, the Korean army has not moved today, and the army is still stationed in the west of Shiqiu City, and the battalion is more than several miles. The general instructed the little one to pay attention to the Han army's baggage, and the villain also saw it clearly, hundreds of big cars were in the south of the city, and the tarpaulin was also opened, as if it was drying. ”
"God help me! The Han army's baggage was in the south of the city, not in the barracks, which was just right for the fire. Why don't you kill it while it's dark today, do you have any opinions? Wang Sunjian shouted.
"That's exactly how it should be." Liu Yun and others are all making the same plan.
"However, you still need to prepare some forage and other things that cause fire, and the main thing in charge of the Korean army is also millet rice, and you need some things to start a fire before you can burn." Zhou Zhan added.
"Okay, after lunch, all the sergeants will prepare, and it will be easier to catch fire while the sun is high." Wang Sunjian clapped his hands and settled down. The three generals immediately jumped down and gave the order.
Shiqiu, in the west of today's Zhengzhou City, is said to be one of the commercial capitals, but at this time it is a big town in the north of the Korean capital, the gate of Gaocheng, which has always been an important place in Korea.
In the middle of summer, the city has just experienced a heavy rain, and the new sun has only taken half a day to dry the wet ground. Beside the old city, the intellectuals on the trees were shouting excitedly, and at noon, there were far fewer pedestrians in the market than in the morning and evening.
Suddenly, a blackbird was startled in the city, and flew high towards the outside of the city, but it hovered for a long time, and did not dare to fall, but it turned out that the open space outside the city was a continuous barracks, one after another.
In the largest of them, there were voices in the handsome camp. Behind the old man are two black wooden shelves, one of which is supported by copper and leather armor, and the other shelf is driven by a long halberd and a long sword, and behind the shelf is a big banner hanging flat on the camp tent, and the banner is written with a big seal, a tiger.
Yes, this is the commander of the 100,000 Korean army, the camp of Han Hu.
"General, a certain person came from the rear army, and he just arrived in Shiqiu today, but he didn't want the general to rest here, so he dared to ask why the general didn't send it to Gongyi? Now that the day is hotter than the other, I don't know if Qi Wei will intervene in the future, isn't the general in a hurry? It was a young lieutenant who was draped all over his body.
"Su Rui, don't you know, the old man has always taken a stable word to take the lead in the war, otherwise the prince and the prince must not entrust the old man with such a heavy responsibility. The reason why Han Zhao returned in defeat was because he was defeated by a fast word. So this time, the old man wanted to oppress people with force, and slowly approached, forcing the royal family to be coerced by me. Moreover, there was a heavy rain yesterday, and the grain and grass in the army were mostly wet, so it would not be too late to leave after a day of exposure to the sun. ”
The young lieutenant was not convinced, "General, the soldiers are fast, Han Zhao's defeat, a certain thief thinks that he is defeated above the light enemy, not above the fast." If the army does not move, it is better to let the junior general lead 5,000 forward battalions to open the way for the general and occupy Gongyi first. I once heard that Gongyi was the granary of the royal family, and when I went, I took it for the general. ”
Han Hu smiled and said, "You are impatient, but you are not similar to Han Zhao?" My spies have already found out that the Zhou royal family had begun to carry grain and grass from Gongyi to Luoyang half a month ago, so the old man was particularly concerned about the grain and grass with the army on this march. And the day before yesterday, there were spies who reported that the Zhou royal family had moved all the people of Gongyi to Luoyang, and the Zhou people were going to give up Gongyi and defend Luoyang. ”
"According to this, then my army will start tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will set up camp in Gongyi City?" Su Rui also laughed playfully.
"That's right, it's just that Gongyi is quite small and can't accommodate my 100,000 troops."
After that, the old and young looked at each other and laughed at each other.
Just after laughing, the soldiers guarding the camp came to report, "General, there are scouts from our army who have returned from Luoyang to ask to see." ”
"Biography!" Han Hu waved his hand.
A moment later, a small soldier was brought in, "General, thousands of Luoyang troops suddenly came to Gongyi City the day before yesterday and occupied Gongyi City, and the villain didn't dare to get too close, so he didn't know its movements." ”
"Well, got it, you go down." After Han Hu waved his hand, he turned his head to look at Su Rui.
"General, isn't it Zhou Ren who imagined that he attacked halfway like last time?" Su Rui arched his hand.
"It's possible." Han Hu touched his snow-white long beard and nodded and said.
Su Rui stood up suddenly, turned around and came to the short table, and knelt down on one knee, "General, the kid is willing to lead a forward battalion of five thousand to explore the truth of this city for the general, and if there is anything to do, he will lay down Gongyi for the general." ”
Han Hu pondered for a moment, and then raised his head, "You are a fierce general, I hope you don't learn from Han Zhao's arrogance." Since you have begged again and again, the old man will allow you to take the first step with the five thousand elite soldiers of the forward battalion, and set off after lunch. However, don't act rashly, you only go to set up camp on the south bank of Luoshui, face the water from Gongyi, just wait for my army, and don't force Luoshui to cross. ”
"No, the last general knows!" Su Rui was overjoyed when he heard this.
Looking at Su Rui leaving happily, Han Hu smiled and touched his beard again, Su Rui, this kid is not afraid of death, every time he takes the lead, and the most rare thing is that although he is warlike, he is not as arrogant as Han Zhao, if he is cultivated, he will become the pillar of South Korea in the future, and he will be famous all over the world.
Thinking of this, Han Hu couldn't help but think of another young man in the country who was as famous as Su Rui, Han Jin. This is his youngest son, not to mention the courage in battle, but also inherited his own steady style, and has been guarding against Wei in the north, and this time, he was also withdrawn. So Han Hu shouted, and immediately a guard rolled into the camp tent, "What's the matter with the general?" ”
"Let's check again, where is my kid Han Jin now?"
"No!" The guard rolled out again.
Han Hu, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. There are many branches of the Han clan, but only his own vein is the most developed, but many clan brothers who are about the same age as themselves do not enjoy wealth anymore, and even go to the land to farm, the reason is that they are good at leading troops to fight. In the next generation, his three sons have all become scholars, but they are all depressed, and they are mixed with life, presumably Han Hou is looking at his face and not expelled. Fortunately, there is a grandson who has his own youthful style, and if he can really grow up, he will be able to maintain his wealth for another fifty years.
Not to mention what Han Hu thought, after lunch at this time, Su Rui picked up the army of 5,000 forward battalions, set up the chariot, and flew west. Two hours to Chenggao, but Su Rui still refused to stop, drank to cheer up the army, and walked more than ten miles before finding a dry place to set up a camp.
The movement of 5,000 men and horses of the Korean army naturally alarmed the scouts of the royal army early. Fortunately, the South Korean army just hurried and did not stop at all, and ran over the mountain road in front of everyone.
At this time, Liu Yun was energetic, and shouted, "Why don't you take advantage of the darkness and take this batch of Han soldiers?" ”
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Wang Sunjian, "Don't mess around, there are more Korean soldiers than our army, how can you serve them?" ”
"Then it's not a bad idea to sneak up on it at night." Liu Yun was still unconvinced.
"Five thousand Han soldiers, at most five hundred, which one is better for me than burning the grain and grass of the Han army?" Wang Sunjian asked in a deep voice.
After thinking about it, Liu Yun replied honestly, "Burning grain and grass is beneficial." The other two generals replied in the same way.
"Then proceed as planned, and rest the army until it gets dark. These 5,000 Korean soldiers must be heading for Gongyi, and I have sent someone to report back to the king, and I will also report tonight's plan to the king, so you can wait for a few more fires in the evening. ”
After 5,000 Korean soldiers, it was soon dark.
The heat of the day receded, and a cool night breeze blew in the woods again. The Luoyang soldiers, who had nourished their spirits, took advantage of the night light to go on the road again, but at this time, it was far more exciting than yesterday, and they worked tirelessly and ran for hundreds of miles, isn't it just for this moment?
Quietly bypassing Cheng Gao, who was defended by Han soldiers, two thousand royal soldiers touched towards the city mound under the moonlight.
There was also a cool breeze outside the city, blowing away the heat of the day, and outside the Korean army camp, a few birds chirped from time to time, as if venting their dissatisfaction with the Korean army that occupied their own territory.
It was late at night, but the old general woke up unconsciously. After turning over a few more times on the bed, but he couldn't sleep anymore, Han Hu had to get up and sit in his clothes, remembering his thoughts.
When people get old, maybe they just can't sleep. But at this moment, the scenes of the past have emerged, taking the lead, leading the troops to conquer the Zhengguo fortress, step by step, and defeating the Chu army that invaded the north. At this time, the old general's always calm heart suddenly had an ominous premonition, could it be that this expedition was going to lose a lifetime of reputation?
Shaking his head and smiling, maybe he was thinking too much, the old general walked towards the door. But his heart is still not calm, is it affected by Han Zhao's defeat? No, Han Zhao's stinky boy knows how to lead troops, and he is an arrogant mess, but I, the Korean general Han Hu, will not advance lightly. In fact, the old general led the troops this time to seek stability in stability, and the army has been marching slowly since it left Xinzheng.
Opened the door of the tent, and in the moonlight, Han Hu walked out of his tall and handsome tent. The guards who were keeping vigil outside the camp were so shocked that they hurriedly saluted, but were stopped by the old general waving his hand, and the guards hurriedly followed when they saw the general walking towards the barracks.
Walking in the camp at will, you can hear snoring everywhere, and in the middle of the night, the young soldiers are afraid that they have fallen asleep. Not far away, the soldiers of the night patrol walked by in a procession, but suddenly found that the old general was in front of them, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Han Hu stretched out his hand to help him up, and he walked forward again. In the barracks, a spark still popped up from time to time from the campfire, and the old general turned around and called out to a sentry of the vigil who was napping.
After walking not far, Han Hu suddenly stopped his steps and looked up at the night sky, where a bright moon hung high, and the stars were shining all over the sky, but the old general called softly in his heart, God, can you tell me, is this time to send troops fierce or auspicious?
Suddenly, in the silence of the night, a shout came from afar, "There is an enemy attack!" ”
This was followed by several shouts, and screams, and the sound of bows and arrows. It was the south, and Han Hu immediately turned his head to look at the south, and suddenly his eyes were bright, as if he wanted to see through the night sky.
And those guards suddenly panicked, there was an enemy night attack, it was a great event, so the loyal guards hurriedly hugged the general, and dragged him to the handsome camp desperately, "The general is not yet clothed, let's hide first." ”
"What are you hiding? Is the old man a coward? To the south, it is a camp of grain and grass, so you must not lose it, so go and bring the old man's halberd to you. The old man wants to lead the troops to meet the enemy. It took a lot of effort for Han Hu to break free from the guards behind him.
Then he turned his head and ordered, "Go and wake up the middle camp and the west camp, and then let the north camp not move." The old man personally led the Chinese army to go. ”
At this time, the shouting of killing in the south was even louder, and it seemed that there were thousands of people fighting. To make matters worse, there was a flash of fire in the south.
Panicked, Han Hu didn't have time to wait for the halberd, he pulled out a spear from a shelf next to him and shouted, "Get up quickly, kill with the old man!" ”
This is the city, it is already the heart of South Korea, and it is only more than 100 miles away from the national capital Xinzheng, how can there be an enemy attack in the middle of the night, who will it be? Could it be the royal army, do they have the guts? Han Hu couldn't help but be frightened, irritable, raised his spear and picked up a soldier's tent, in the night light, but saw dozens of soldiers in a panic wearing robes, seeing that the open top, the soldiers were even more panicked, the first one, couldn't lift his pants, I don't know where to step on.
didn't have time to think about it, Han Hu rushed to the next camp again, "Boys, hurry up and get up with the old man!" ”
