Chapter 22: The Battle of Yingchuan Begins
……
Finally, I learned their origins, it turned out to be refugees from Yingchuan counties, and after hearing these news, Li Sanshi couldn't help but be irritable.
……
Two days ago, Zhang Liang, the general of Digong, led more than 50,000 rebel troops from six directions to quietly come to the mountains and forests outside Changshe County to hibernate. At this time, there were only 2,000 permanent troops in Changshe County, which were in charge of two thousand-person governors, and there were more than 20 officials from the Changshe County Government, which was the entire armed force of this Changshe County.
The soldiers of the Yellow Army lurk secretly in the mountains and forests, and they are still a little crowded in this small mountain forest, and there are soldiers of the Yellow Army hidden in almost every place that can be hidden. Several poor eggs have already strayed into this mountain forest by mistake and have been harvested by the Yellow Party soldiers and taken their lives.
A clearing was cut out in the forest, and a simple tent was set up in the clearing, and more than a dozen sergeants stood guard outside the tent. However, it is estimated that no one will be able to make it here, unless he can quietly kill the soldiers hidden along the way.
There were only seven people in the tent, Zhang Liang sat in the first place, and under him were Qin Li, Zhang Ping, Qi Shi, Tang Qiang, Wang Dahui, and Li Hong, the leaders of the six sides of the rebel army.
The armor of these seven high-ranking generals is obviously different from that of ordinary soldiers, and they are more domineering.
Zhang Liang was originally a civilian, and he was able to get to this position today and do a good job in addition to the promotion of his brother Zhang Jiao, but more importantly, his insight into people's hearts, what can be done in front of Zhang Jiao, what can be done to make Zhang Jiao deepen his trust in himself, and the most important thing is that he still has a certain ability, otherwise he can only be an idle job if he is trusted.
With the rise of his status, Zhang Liang learned a lot of new things, and he was able to sit in the position of general and be in prison.
Zhang Liang looked at the leaders below indifferently, and after slowly looking around for a week, he asked: "Generals, what is the best strategy for attacking Changshe County, just say it." ”
……
When the leaders of the six directions heard this, they either frowned, or bowed their heads in contemplation, or closed their eyes to calculate.
Finally, the last person stood up and arched his hand: "General, I have an opinion. ”
Zhang Liang saw that it was Zhang Ping who stood up, he didn't like it in his heart, and said secretly: What other clever plan can this reckless man come up with? Faintly spit out a word: "Say"
"General, we have more than 50,000 people, and there are only 2,000 people in Changshe County, how can 2,000 people compete with our 50,000 army, in my opinion, directly attack, I am willing to take the lead and take this Changshe County!" Zhang Ping said loudly with his eyes glazed, and the spit star flew out.
As soon as the words fell, another person stood up and said, "General, this is not possible!" ”
As soon as Zhang Liang saw that it was Qi Shi, thinking that Zhang Jiao had instructed him to march and listen to Qi Shi's advice, he became interested in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Zhang Ping, you sit down first." Qi Shi, why do you say you can't? ”
Qi Shi arched his hand again, "General, although there are not many defenders in Changshe County, there are only two thousand people. However, if we attack rashly, although we can take this Changshe County, the casualties of our soldiers will definitely be not small, and we may be resisted by some people, which will add a lot of difficulties to the subjugation of Changshe County! ”
"Is there a good solution?"
"I have a plan. Two hundred soldiers were drawn from one of the rebel armies and infiltrated the city as civilians. And we waited until the sun went down and the defenders were lax3, and the whole army attacked, and the two hundred sergeants were in it to act as internal responses, and all the contingencies could be dealt with. ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qi Shi was a little helpless, and added: "The first purpose of the lord is to subdue the entire Yingchuan County and let it be used as the foundation for conquering the world in the future. Then, it is our aim to minimize the impact of the war on the counties of Yingchuan. If, how can Yingchuan be beaten with thousands of holes to let our rear quickly settle down? So, I use this method to fight this Changshe County. ”
Zhang Liang savored these passages, and felt more and more that Qi Shi's method was indeed the best strategy in this situation.
"What do you think of Qi Shi's strategy?"
"I have no objection."
"I'll see it."
"Yes"
……
"So, where are these two hundred sergeants drawn from?"
"Since it's my proposal, let's take it from my side."
"Okay, Leader Qi is refreshing! Then, Zhang Ping, Tang Qiang, this opportunity will be left to the two of you. The rest of the people are here to watch, waiting for good news. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang tasted the tea on the table.
And Qi Shi summoned a guard outside the tent, "Li Si! ”
A strong man came in in response, and after saluting, he asked, "What does the leader of Qi command?" ”
"Pass the order, let Ran Dong and Zhou Qing come to this tent quickly, I have something important to find them, go quickly."
Li Si retreated after realizing this, and passed the order out with some excitement.
In less than half an hour, two figures rushed from the woods to this temporary headquarters.
The two of them rushed to the account, calmed their breath, straightened their armor, opened the tent and walked in.
……
……
Ran Dong and Zhou Qing rushed to the outside of the mountains and forests with excitement and heaviness in their hearts, calling their soldiers from time to time along the way, and two hundred people gathered at the edge of the mountains and forests and changed their clothes.
This group of people came to the official road and dispersed, turning into civilians and heading towards Changshe County.
……
The weather is good today, there are no large white clouds in the sky, only some white cloud filaments are distributed. Therefore, the dazzling light of the sun shines directly on the earth without any hindrance. After noon, the time passed faster, and the sun slowly moved to the west, setting towards the end of the horizon, and Changshe County slowly darkened.
The peasants who were working in their fields looked at the sunset, wiped the man on their foreheads, looked at the fruits of their labor, and smiled happily: "It's time to go home and eat!" So he called his son and walked on the field with a farm tool and the sunset on his back.
It's time to eat, it's time to attack!
Zhang Liang and the other leaders stood outside the tent and looked at the dark sky.
Zhang Liang said: "Zhang Ping, Tang Qiang, this first battle depends on the performance of the two of you!" ”
