――――
In the military tent on the north bank of the river, Yan Yu's eyes were straight, he muttered to himself again and again, he was shocked and frightened, his legs trembled like chaff, and he timidly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yan Baihu's cloudy face.
I don't know when the enemy put a wooden box at the door of the tent camp, and the patrol guards just found it handed over to Yan Baihu, and when they opened it, they saw that it was actually the head of Mo Yazhu and a letter.
The letter was written by Zhang Fan, in which he spoke foul language to Yan Baihu, and tried his best to ridicule him, how ugly it was to hear it, and the first Buddha of Yan Baihu's anger was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and he almost fainted.
"Yan Shuai, this thief is too arrogant! Outrageous? He must be taught a hard lesson! ”
"It's so damning! Yan Shuai, you give the order! I'll break the Huanglong Village and cut off the head of the thief and the dog to avenge the commander of Moyazhu! ”
"Yes, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
"Ahem, but...... We don't have any more ships, huh? ”
"If you don't have a ship, you can go to another county to requisition. But this revenge must be avenged, and the thief must not be let go! ”
……
Yan Baihu, who had been facing the inside of the tent without saying a word, finally turned around, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, especially Yan Yu, this defeat had a lot to do with him, and he could barely stand still.
Everyone looked at him in amazement, his eyes were bloodshot, his dark face was wrinkled with frost and fatigue, and even his beard was particularly clearly visible.
There was an indescribable loneliness in his tone: "Okay, this defeat is my mistake." As for revenge...... Think about it in the long run! ”
Yan Baihu didn't sleep all night, and last night the other side was full of fire, and he didn't know if Moyazhu was successful...... Or did it fail? But until the rising sun, he didn't see Mo Yazhu come back, and Yan Baihu already had the consciousness of failure.
The moment he saw the head of the Moya Bead, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and it was cold from the top of his head to the tip of his toes.
The magnitude of the blow was completely different from the loss of more than 2,000 soldiers during the day. Not to mention that Mo Yazhu is the first general under his command, as close as a brother, born and died for more than ten years, and has made countless achievements; Even the 1,000 mountain and Yue soldiers who went out with him on the expedition, that was also the elite of the elite selected from a hundred miles, the most brave and best soldiers, this loss was incalculable, and it only made him hurt during the day, so it was really painful at this moment.
"Yan Shuai, what do you mean...... Do you want to quit the army? A commander plucked up the courage to ask.
"The civilian boats near San'in County have been requisitioned. There are no big boats, and no matter how many small boats are targets for trebuchets. Huanglongzhai is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, crossing the Longtan River, there are three checkpoints, not to mention that now we can't even flow the river! The thief was well prepared, we were unprepared, and we came to attack in a hurry, even if we crossed the river, the three male passes, I don't know how many lives we have to take to fill the ...... Again, let's think long-term! ”
A grumpy general asked, "Do you want to let them go like this, what about the hatred of the commander of the Moyazhu?" ”
Yan Baihu's eyes flashed, "Moyazhu's hatred...... Definitely going to report! But the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, I don't believe that this thief will shrink in this broken village for the rest of his life? As long as Zhang Fan's dog thief walks out of this Huanglong Village, he is a tiger with his teeth extracted, and we will have a chance to take revenge sooner or later! ”
No one is willing to accept such a decision:
"Yan Shuai! If the thief is not removed, how can he serve the public? ”
"That's it, this expedition lost troops and lost money and food, and we went back like this, what will people think of us?"
"Yan Shuai, please think twice!"
"Yan Shuai, try again! Brothers can fight again! ”
……
Seeing that everyone was unwilling to temporarily withdraw from the army, Yan Baihu sighed and said:
"Alas, you have fallen for the thief's scheme...... You haven't thought about it, why did Zhang Fan send the head of Moyazhu and this letter? ”
Yan Baihu's eyes were blazing, full of vicissitudes and helplessness, and he continued:
"That sail and I have no grudges in the past, and there is no enmity in recent days, and this battle is also the upper hand. He barely did any damage, but we suffered a lot. So why did he add insult to injury and sprinkle salt on his wounds? He was born in a famous family, learned to be knowledgeable and etiquette, and had never done anything violent in Shanyin County, why was it abnormal this time? ”
Everyone fell into deep thought, waiting for Yan Baihu to continue to explain:
"Because he'...... Do you want to provoke me, make me lose my mind, and continue to storm Huanglongzhai? What's in it for him? Because he has long regarded us as prey and is unwilling to let us go. We have already set up a net of heaven and earth, ready to eat away at whale swallowing step by step, consuming our strength, and finally annihilating us in one go. ”
Everyone exchanged their heads and talked about it, discussing Yan Baihu's statement, and finally decided that Yan Baihu's words were not unreasonable. This expedition was too hasty, and there were no siege equipment or river crossing tools, so we should retreat first, and when the time is ripe, we will come to Zhang Thief for revenge after being ready.
Just when Yan Baihu was about to give the order to retreat, a personal guard came over and whispered a few words to him.
"Let's go down first, let me think about it."
Everyone saluted and left, and Yan Baihu secretly received a special guest in a tent in a corner. Yan Baihu didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:
"I heard that Lu Gongzi plans to help us, I don't know what it means?"
The young guest took off the hat with a black veil, and it turned out that this person was none other than Zhang Fan's old acquaintance - Lu Jun, Lu Jun smiled and said:
"I heard that all of Yan Shuai's boats and rafts were destroyed by Zhang Fan's trebuchet, but I am willing to provide Yan Shuai with a batch of rafts free of charge to ensure that the army can cross the river safely."
Yan Baihu was also interested, "Ship, do you mean the ship, not the boat?" Speedboat? ”
艨艟, commonly known as Meng Chong. The entire cabin and decks are covered with cowhide for fire protection. There are several oars on each side of the board for the oars to insert the boat and for rowers to row. There are three cabins above deck, which are also wrapped in raw cowhide to prevent enemy fire. Each deck has crossbow windows on all sides, and spear holes can be used to attack enemies in all directions, and the stern is majestic, maneuverable, and convenient for water combat.
"It is the ship, this batch of ships is 12 zhang (about 24 meters) long, 1 zhang 6 (about 3.2 meters) wide, and can accommodate 70 people. The most important thing is that Zhang Fan's trebuchets will not cause serious damage to him. ”
Yan Baihu was overjoyed, but he still needs to ask clearly:
"Lu Gongzi is not joking with me, right? Isn't this an ordinary thing? As far as I know, your Lu family doesn't seem to have one, right? Besides, I have no relationship with the Sanyin Lu family, why do you help me? ”
