Chapter 311: Why Helpless
Zhang Jun sat in the brightly lit main hall of the Thorn History Mansion, raising his eyes to look around at the subordinates of the Thorn History Mansion and the county commanders of the nearby counties. His face gradually became gloomy, and his eyes as he looked around were as sharp and cold as a sword.
Zuo Sima Yinyuan, who was sitting on the chief, was a little restless when he saw this. From time to time, he raised his eyes to observe Zhang Jun's complexion. But he never saw any relief from the chill on Zhang Jun's face. was about to get up and say a few words of comfort, but suddenly heard Zhang Jun say coldly: "Lingju has been besieged for more than seven days. I don't know if you have ever sent troops to relieve the siege? ”
As soon as Zhang Jun asked, everyone in the room looked at each other. Zhang Jun saw that everyone was silent, so he angrily slapped the table in front of him: "Why are all the gentlemen silent?" Could it be that Li Dingdong is alone in the lonely city? ”
There was still silence in the hall. The anger in Zhang Jun's chest became more and more vigorous in this silence: "Lingju Guangwu Portal." Guangwu is the gateway to the state of governance! Li Dingdong worked hard and stayed alone in the lonely city. But can it last? If the order falls, then the Guangwu falls. I don't know where you want to protect me and flee? Is it Xihai County, or Dunhuang County? ”
"Ming Gong is angry...... Seeing that Zhang Jun was so manic, Yin Yuan, who was kneeling in the first place, had already avoided the seat and bowed: "The elite of the previous state administration, together with Zhang Fujun and Xin Fujun's departments, most of them have been lost in the battle of Woganling. Now except for Xiping, Jinxing and other places. There are no soldiers in the state to adjust......"
When Zhang Jun heard this, he stood up angrily: "Old thief! Er and other families all raise hundreds or even thousands of family soldiers, and they are rampant in the countryside on weekdays, bullying men and women are majestic! Now that the national crisis is at hand, how long will the monarchs still have to keep their lights in obscurity? ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone in the hall: "Have you ever packed your luggage and prepared the ox cart?" If you need to arrange in court, you can just ask! Even if the court transfers its own car to the monarchs, they must help the monarchs! ”
Yin Yuan suddenly kowtowed at this time: "Make the old minister of Jun Yan an old thief...... It was difficult for the old minister to accept it. Since the beginning of Wu Gong, Yuan has assisted four generations of Ming Gong. If the envoy still wants to call the old minister an old thief, forgive the old minister for being shameless and living above the temple......"
Zhang Jun frowned in disgust: "Yin Sima is old." Lonely, this is what you ask. From today onwards, the public can hand over all affairs to other drivers. Then he returned to his hometown to raise his ......."
Before Zhang Jun's words fell, a vote of old ministers in the hall already knelt down and kowtowed. Verbal no. Yang Lie's general Song Ji said: "Han Du Hu returned from the defeat of Longxi, and the Ming Duke has not yet questioned him, Yin Sima is the old man of the Wu Gong, so that the king must not be rash......"
Zhang Jun also didn't wait for Song Ji to finish speaking, and then opened his mouth and said sharply: "I have my own measure!" Yin Sima is in a high position, with brocade clothes and jade food, and has been anointed by the envoys of all dynasties. And Yin Gongwen can't be peaceful, and Wu can't retreat from the enemy, I don't know what is the benefit of living on this temple again? ”
After speaking, regardless of Yin Yuan's face lying on the ground, but gradually turning blue, Zhang Jun looked at Yin Jian in the far corner: "Yin Gong's younger brother Jian, he is out of the same door as the Gong. In the eleventh year, he was ordered to lead the army to Longxi. Although he did not achieve a great victory, he still led his whole division to return under the great disadvantage! ”
"It's better to hand over the position of the public to the Ling clan brother, can you?" Zhang Jun clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Zuo Sima Yinyuan who was lying on the ground with a playful expression.
Yin Yuan raised his head and glanced at Zhang Jun quickly. Then he quickly lowered his head: "Ming Gong is looking for good materials, and he can replace the rotten wood, and the foolish clan brother will serve as Zuo Sima, and the foolish has no opinion......"
Hearing this, Zhang Jun nodded slightly, and then looked at the corner where Yin Jian was. When Yin Jian heard this, he changed color, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Make the king wrong to love, and Jian Wan dare not accept it!" Please also ask the king to retract his fate, if the king insists on this, there is only one death......"
Zhang Jun was a little displeased, he originally wanted to use this kind of move to force the Yin family to crack himself. And the Yin family, a pair of clan brothers, is far more shrewd than he thought. One immediately agreed, and the other did not accept it. If it weren't for Zhang Jun's elaborate design, he would even suspect that these two people colluded to sing a double reed with him.
"In that case, I don't force it." Zhang Jun looked at Yin Jian in the corner, then looked down at Yin Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, and said leisurely: "But why do you want to be desperate, you must give me an explanation!" ”
Looking at the silent crowd, Zhang Jun sneered in his heart, and then said to himself: "I have ordered Chen Zhen, the general of Pingyu, to lead half of the guards in Gu Zang City to go to help!" I don't know who is willing to send out his own soldiers, and now go home, maybe he can catch up with General Chen! ”
Zhang Jun sneered and said, "Follow Chen Zhen to the enemy breaker, according to the first level of merit!" The department was cut down by 300 stones, promoted to a first-level official rank, and increased by 500 stones. 500 pieces, the official promotion level, 100,000 yuan. Thousands of silk horses, food Lu increases thousands of stones! And if there are more than 1,000 ranks, then I will send an envoy to inform the court and give him a knighthood! ”
In the Jin Dynasty, the duke of Liangzhou was only a member of the Zhang family, but a hereditary duke of Xiping County. And the rest of the knights can be said to be very few. This time, Zhang Jun mentioned the knighthood, which is not ungenerous for these vassals and county officials.
Everyone's eyes lit up, but thinking of Liu Yin's subordinates who besieged Lingju, who had defeated Han Pu, they unconsciously showed a little fear in their hearts. Zhang Jun took in everyone's expressions and expressions, and secretly sneered in his heart.
"You can rest assured that you can go, the number of slashing levels is enough, and I will fulfill my promise." Zhang Jun said leisurely: "General Chen Zhen is in command of the expedition, what else is there to worry about?" ”
Zhang Jun's demagogy obviously had a good effect, and when everyone heard what he said, they all got up and retreated, ready to discuss and discuss, mobilize the resources and material resources of all families, and then enlisted, to try to fight for this great wealth.
Zhang Jun got up and said to the left and right attendants: "The home of the state sergeant clan is a nest of snakes and rats." If left unchecked, it will definitely not be able to make contributions, but will continue to cause infighting. You two can take my sword to the army. Inform Chen Pingyu that if the families gather to come, he can exercise the responsibility of the commander. If anyone dares to disobey military orders, you can use this sword to slash immediately! ”
Looking at the chamberlain, he retreated with his sword in his arms. Zhang Jun always breathed a sigh of relief on his face. got up and looked at the location of Lingju on the huge map of Liangzhou drawn by the silk silk behind him, and suddenly became worried.
"Li Dingdong, I wonder if you can hold out when Chen Zhen arrives?"
********************
On the hill behind the West Gate of Lingju, an army was lurking, and the leader was climbing on a tree, holding a steel sword in his hand and hanging a bow and arrow from his waist. He looked at the blazing West Gate for a long time. After a while, two generals came down from the tree, looking up at the tree. Seeing the eager look of the person on the tree, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Sima, I don't know if I came here to help this time, but I have already made a plan?" ”
When the people in the trees heard this, they jumped down, and through the blinding light of the fire came from among the trees, they had already seen the situation at the head of the city clearly. He turned his head to the people behind him: "I look at the city on the west side, and it is obvious that it has been taken by the thieves. There are about 100 people above and below the city, and if they attack, they will inevitably suffer huge losses. ”
After a pause, the general Zuo looked at the foot of the mountain again, and said lightly: "The sling of the West Gate Suspension Bridge has been broken, and the city gate has not yet been closed, so the cavalry camp can take the lead in attacking." After rushing in, they invited the captives to ride around. If the thieves can't react, the rest of the army will rush in from here at the same time, and when they can break the enemy in front of the garrison, they will either defend the west gate to block the enemy, or gather a crowd to enter the city to rescue. With the city gate as the basis, we all have a basis for advancing and retreating. ”
Listening to the fainter and faintest sounds of fighting in the city, the general said to the generals behind him with an eager face: "Don't wait any longer. Please lead the way......"
The generals clenched their fists and received the order, and then went to the place where their subordinates were temporarily dwelling, and with the sound of bamboo whistles in the mountains, all the troops stood up and walked with swords, guns, bows and crossbows. Just as more than 100 cavalry soldiers who were arranged to attack first rushed from the valley at the foot of the mountain to the west gate, they found that there was an enemy army of more than 1,000 foot soldiers slowly marching into the west gate from outside the city.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Before the 100 cavalrymen in front of him could decide whether to charge or stop, the cavalry of more than 100 men led by him was already armed with swords and spears, and rushed into the enemy formation of the city. The enemy was caught off guard by such a surprise attack. Unexpectedly, these cavalry soldiers were also extremely cruel, and as soon as they entered the battle, they each slashed at the enemy with their swords and guns.
The enemy army was suddenly attacked by this surprise, and there was chaos on the ground. These people have fought the hardest. Already exhausted. At this time, entering the city was just to occupy Lingju earlier. Ending the unnecessary resistance of the Liangzhou soldiers in the city. However, the sudden attack on the flanks frightened them, and many of the people who had not yet been affected ran to the side and spontaneously formed a tight formation, ready to respond to the surprise attack of the cavalry who followed the charge.
At this moment, a shout of killing also sounded on the mountain facing the west gate. Everyone looked intently, and saw that the mountains were full of torches. Countless Liangzhou soldiers were looking at them, and this move undoubtedly greatly increased the speed of the psychological collapse of these tired Zhao soldiers.
The reinforcements had not yet engaged the enemy, and the enemy soldiers had fled back to the way they came. The enemy soldiers who had been attacked by the cavalry of the front army fled in a panic towards the city after the hastily organized resistance was quickly broken by the cavalry of the onslaught. The cavalry followed the fleeing enemy into the city. Along the way, I saw the cavalry holding swords and guns, slashing and slashing the enemy soldiers running in all directions. And the arrows that fell on the top of the city, although they also caused some casualties to the cavalry, it was not enough to shake these red-eyed cavalrymen.
Seeing that there were not many enemy troops blocking the road leading to the west gate, the reinforcements rushed to the west gate under the leadership of the generals. The enemy cavalry stationed above and below the city was no more than a hundred people, and in the face of the fierce attack of this support army, even some could not support it. The reinforcement generals led their troops from the stairs in the city, stepped on the corpses of the soldiers on both sides to attack the city tower, and fought with the enemy cavalry guarding the city tower.
The cavalry that had rushed into the city had already pursued the streets, and seeing that the cavalry was chasing farther and farther, the leading general blew several long whistles, and in about half a moment, these cavalrymen returned to the city gate one after another. Many of them had enemy heads on their hands, in front of their horses, and on the barrels of their guns. The battle on the city tower still lasted for more than two moments, and under the attack of hundreds of dragon spirits and fierce soldiers, the resistance of the Hun cavalry guards left on the city tower was getting weaker and weaker.
The news of the loss of the West Gate was quickly conveyed to the ears of Du Ziming, who led his troops to continue to attack the city. When he learned that Simon had been lost, he was shocked. The attack on the city led by his cavalry was not all smooth sailing.
From the west gate into the city, to the military camp is about 300 steps away, Du Ziming's troops can almost be said to be a long drive straight in. However, when the Hun cavalry marched near the barracks, they began to meet stubborn and organized resistance. At first, there were groups of Lingju soldiers armed with spears in the streets to stop them. The horsemen who rushed ahead along the street met these sudden resistance and fell off their horses. After coming to their senses, the cavalry of the team pulled away one after another, using bows and arrows to shoot at these Lingju county soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in the dark, and advanced to the flanks of the defenders from the various lanes on the side, only to defeat the stubborn resistance of several waves of county soldiers.
Repelling these stubborn enemies on the barricades, Du Ziming led his army to the enemy barracks, and finally surrounded the barracks. When his Hun cavalry discovered the wounded enemy soldiers and a small number of garrisoned troops in the workshop next to the barracks, a bloody massacre inevitably befell the wounded soldiers.
At the main gate of the barracks, the cavalry under Du Ziming was braving the dense rain of arrows from the watchtower and the camp wall to attack the camp wall. And the Lingju county soldiers who were stationed in the battalion did not care about anything else in the face of wave after wave of onslaught from the enemy. The Hun cavalry under Du Ziming kicked the door of the workshop, and immediately found a room full of wounded soldiers. The two soldiers, who were stationed in it to care for the wounded, saw the enemy approaching, and each took up his arms and fought in an attempt to fulfill his last duty.
Nearly 100 Hun cavalry soon poured into the workshop. The resistance of the two soldiers left behind in the workshop was like a glowing light in the night, and it was soon overwhelmed by the surging dust. A Hun centurion pulled his knife out of the body of the Lingju county soldier in front of him, and then raised his eyes to look at the rest of the wounded in the workshop.
He slowly walked up to a wounded man under the eaves who had lost his left arm, and pointed the tip of his knife at him slowly. This centurion had thought that the other party would be timid, even frightened. Until he saw the wounded man in front of him raise his head and look at him with an unyielding face through the faint candle flame in the room. The wounded man also held a half-truncated arrow in his right hand.
The centurion was stunned, and the wounded man, who had already grasped the half-severed arrow in his right hand, jumped up and plunged straight into his chest. It's too late, it's too soon. The experience accumulated on the bloody battlefield and the quick reflexes saved the centurion. Instinctively, he turned to one side, dodging the wounded's attack, and then his right hand was lightning fast, and the blade was already in the wounded's chest.
"Kill, kill them all!" The centurion shouted in a hoarse voice. More than 100 cavalrymen on standby rushed into the workshop and raised their butcher knives to the wounded who were lying inside and outside the workshop......
For a while, there was an endless stream of screams, shouts, and howls in the workshop. This one-sided massacre lasted about two quarters of an hour. In the end, there was no one in the workshop, except for the beast-like gasps of these Hun cavalry. The strong smell of blood spread to the street with the night breeze, and Du Ziming, who commanded his subordinates to attack the camp wall, couldn't help but frown secretly......
