Chapter 166: Facing the Enemy Head-on

It has been ten days since Zeng Ying got the news that Chongqing Mansion was lost, and the envoys sent to Zhang Xianzhong's camp have come and gone dozens of times, passing the meaning of the generals on both sides to each other.

Keep one on each side of the ink-drenched paper, but Zhang Xianzhong and Zeng Ying both understand that although the words are signed and the big seal is stamped, no one knows how long it will be effective. It's not surprising that it is possible to wake up the next day and tear up the agreement.

Everyone is wary of each other, but they also know that each other has more important things to solve, and both of them have bad things in their backyards that burn their butts, so it depends on who can solve it quickly, and those who can free up their hands first will definitely seize the opportunity.

Zeng Ying gritted his teeth and signed, and when he signed, he fell several brushes, and the huge territory of Shunqing Mansion was let out like this, how could he be happy?

He was very careful, along the perimeter of Shunqing Mansion, built earthen forts and wooden villages in several passes, left soldiers and horses to defend, depicted topographical drawings, and prepared to counterattack back as soon as he solved his worries.

From beginning to end, Zeng Ying never thought about whether there would be a possibility of a long-term delay with Shizhu Kuizhou's soldiers, let alone whether Qin Liangyu's newly sealed Kuizhou general soldier Wang Huan would eat him in turn.

Wang Huan? Who is it? Haven't heard of it.

Yang Zhan's failure and Tan Wen's downfall, one is the wrong use of people, the other is the carelessness of the enemy, not the fault of the war, how many barbarians can hide in the ravines? How much insight can you have? Taking advantage of the fact that he was busy dealing with the west, he took up some places and took Chongqing Mansion, but he couldn't explain anything, occupying a lot of places, but he would be cocooned and self-bound, defend the land and divide the troops, and after scattering a little bit everywhere, how many people did Wang Huan have left with him?

Zeng Ying thought so, and Wang Xiang thought so too.

reached an agreement with Zhang Xianzhong, and as soon as the two sides slowly ceased fighting, Wang Xiang asked Zeng Ying for his life as if he was burning his buttocks, and was willing to be the vanguard to return to Chongqing and recover the lost territory.

"The last general is willing to make a military order, if he can't take Chongqing, come and see him!" Wang Xiang swore an oath and ordered Zeng Ying to repair the book.

Zeng Ying was physically and mentally exhausted, vomited blood again, and was happy to let Wang Xiang go first, if Wang Xiang solved the matter, he didn't have to go back, and he just did it with Zhang Xianzhong.

Wang Xiang led the 5,000 odd barracks in his headquarters, and rushed back without eating any of the burning meals.

However, although anxious, Wang Xiang is the deputy general soldier with the same name as Yang Zhan after all, and he has his own set of methods for leading the army, and he has also heard of the fate of Tan Wenzhongfu's capture, and I heard that the newly emerging Kuizhou general soldier Wang Huan is cunning, and even Yang Zhan has passed his way, and the reconnaissance and spying can not be sloppy.

He sent the scouts out for thirty miles, and every mountain along the way had to be carefully inspected to guard against ambushes, even if it cost a little more manpower.

From Shunqing Mansion to Chongqing Mansion, 360 miles apart, the road is far away, but Wang Xiang arrived at the boundary of Chongqing Mansion in five days under the condition of strictly preventing Wang Huan from setting up an ambush, and entered Hezhou, which is 70 miles a day, which can be described as a god.

The journey was smooth, the scouts had a return every hour, and there was no shadow of a Kuizhou soldier, and there was no trace of the enemy in some dangerous dense forests and narrow valleys on the road, and the Kuizhou soldiers seemed to be hiding in the city of Chongqing, and they couldn't shrink out.

After Hezhou, it is Chongqing Mansion, with the current foot strength, it only takes one day to arrive, Wang Xiang's anxious and anxious mood, finally a little calmer, recovering Chongqing, Kuizhou will be far away?

"Order, the whole army will speed up, and rush to Chongqing Mansion at sunset today, and I will drink the victory wine with you in the mansion!" Wang Xiang rode on a five-flowered horse, his tower-like body tall and strong, and shouted at his subordinates who were marching on the official road.

The herald immediately passed his order to everyone's ears, but most of the people who heard it bowed their heads and cursed, he was relaxed, it didn't take much effort to ride on the horse, but he suffered from the foot soldiers below, and the two legs ran more than seventy miles a day, and they ran for five days in a row, everyone was tired, and now there were at least hundreds of miles away from Chongqing Mansion, and they had to walk under the city wall for most of the day, except for the wings, no one could do it.

The first class of officials crushed people to death, not to mention that Wang Xiang was not only an official, but also the chief general who whipped if something was wrong, and the soldiers had to helplessly spread the girl and run for their lives in addition to gritting their teeth and cursing a few times.

Wang Xiang watched with satisfaction as the army walked quickly on the official road, touched the beard on his chin that was as hard as a steel needle and laughed.

Just as he was happy, he saw a horse in front of him flying like a fly, and immediately the scout waved his horsewhip and shouted: "There is a military situation, there is a military situation!" ”

Wang Xiang's face changed, and he led a few generals to ride up to meet him, and said in a deep voice: "What is the military situation?" ”

The scout flew in front of him and rolled off his horse, knelt on one knee and didn't even wipe the sweat on his smooth face, and hissed: "Report to the military gate, on the official road twenty miles ahead, there is a Kuizhou army in formation, looking at its number, there are about 3,000 people, if our army continues to move forward, it will meet head-on!" ”

"Three thousand?" A startled whisper sounded left and right from Wang Xiang's side.

Wang Xiang also frowned slightly, a little surprised.

The information he received was that the Kuizhou army only had a few thousand people in total, and it had also divided troops to guard various places, and there were 3,000 people in front of it.

But after thinking about it, Wang Xiang laughed again: "Hahaha, good, good come!" I'm worried that the stone pillars won't come out of the cave, but it's good that they sent it to the door themselves, Tan Wen's revenge, I'll avenge it today! Hahaha! ”

He laughed arrogantly, and asked the scout again in the laughter that echoed the left and right: "Who is the leader of the stone pillar barbarians?" Can you see the flag? ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "The villain watched the big banner in the formation, and there was a king character written on it, and there was a famous word in front of it called the general soldier of Kuizhou in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The general army of Daming Kuizhou?" Wang Xiang's thick eyebrows wrinkled again: "What a big breath, Lao Tzu has been fighting for so many years, and he has only exchanged for the position of deputy chief soldier, a boy whose hair has not grown up, how can He De become a chief soldier?" Watch Lao Tzu go and pull his balls! ”

There was another burst of laughter from the left and right generals, and the laughter was full of arrogance and arrogance.

Someone who was a little sober reminded cautiously: "Military gate, our army has been running around for days, lacking rest, and the stone pillar barbarians are waiting for work, so it is better to avoid its edge first, and then follow up." ”

Wang Xiangman didn't care, and reprimanded: "Where are the words!" Our army is 5,000 elites, the stone pillar is only 3,000 soldiers, and our army is almost twice as many people, what are you afraid of? Besides, the sons and daughters are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, everyone is brave, the stone pillar barbarian mountain and village man, timid and incompetent, our army is still modest with one enemy and ten, and you wait for a lot of words, messing with our army's heart! ”

The person who opened his mouth retreated silently, and no one dared to persuade him, Wang Xiang waved his hand at the generals with satisfaction, and said sharply: "The Shizhu barbarians occupy our state and county, take my people, and kill our generals. ”

After that, he picked up the long knife in his hand with one hand, raised it high to the sky, and galloped forward on his horse.

……

Wang Huan, dressed in a rattan armor white robe and a cowhide helmet on his head, stood quietly on a four-wheeled carriage converted into a large carriage, staring intently at the official road in front of him, without saying a word.

Beside him, three thousand white-robed soldiers also formed a three-fold formation, and the soldiers sat on the ground, with spears in their hands, and the cold light was shining, as if they were not moving like a mountain, and like a silent forest, the wind was silent.

The place where the white-robed soldiers were located was an open flat land, and there was not much terrain fluctuation in a radius of several miles, and the official road from the direction of Shunqing, after turning a forest five or six hundred paces away from afar, stretched straight under their feet to the rear.

From half an hour earlier, scouts on horseback had been flashing out of the woods, looking at the woods, one after another, until they stopped at the edge of the woods, pointing as if they were counting the number of people, and some laughter could be heard at intervals.

Yes, an army like Kuizhou Bing sitting in a formation stupidly, the scouts have never seen it, marching and fighting, paying attention to momentum, it is a strict formation, and sitting on the ground will not lose all the sharpness? What does the commander of the Kuizhou soldiers think?

The Kuizhou soldiers turned a blind eye to this, and still sat on the ground to rest, but there were some white-robed soldiers riding horses on the side, with mountain-destroying crossbows in their hands, if the other party's scouts were too close, they immediately shot an arrow, and the mountain-destroying crossbow shot fast, and after shooting down two scouts who didn't know whether they were dead or alive, the rest stayed on the edge of the woods in a regular manner.

After waiting for more than an hour, Wang Xiang's military horse came out of the woods, a large piece of hulala, gushing out like a tide, in the open space in front of the woods also lined up in a three-fold array, the red mandarin duck uniforms converged into a sea of red, and the white Kuizhou soldiers on the opposite side were red and white, and they were distinct.

Just looking at the size of the formations on both sides, it is obvious that the red three-fold array is larger, and there are more cavalry on horses.

Wang Xiang's burly body slowly rode out of the back of the battle, the shining fish scale armor on his body reflected the sunlight, and the huge long knife in his hand was almost as thick as his horse's neck, looking terrifying.

He squinted his eyes, looked at the Kuizhou soldiers who were more than 300 steps away, and laughed out loud.

The chuckle turned into a loud laugh, a presumptuous laugh, and even the attendants around him laughed.

"Look, is there such a war? Lao Tzu is under his nose, still sitting, is this to surrender? Hahaha! Wang Xiang opened his mouth and couldn't close it: "That one, you go and tell them, those who want to surrender, drop their weapons, and tie their hands and feet, but what is that king, he can't do it, Lao Tzu must pull his eggs!" ”

The lieutenant officer smiled and took the order, rode out of the formation, and trotted to the side of the Kuizhou soldiers.

Wang Huan looked and listened lightly, and when he saw a cavalryman coming out from the other party, he said a word to Zubian gently, and Zubian nodded, letting the trumpeter next to him blow the horns.

"Woo~~"

The low and vigorous bullhorn echoed in the sky, and the white-robed soldiers sitting on the ground rose when they heard the sound, and lined up neatly with full spirit, and the captain centurion walked through the queue, cheering the soldiers with words and encouraging them.

The Chinese officer who rushed over instinctively wanted to turn around and go back at the moment when the horn sounded, but after hesitating for a moment, after weighing Wang Xiang and the Kuizhou soldiers in his heart, he continued to move forward, and stopped when he came to a place a hundred steps away from the Kuizhou soldiers.

"Listen to the stone pillar barbarian on the other side, I am the Great Ming...... Yes! The middle officer pulled his throat, and before he could shout out what he wanted to say, he heard a bang in the air, and a puff of green smoke rose from the front of the Kuizhou army.

Zu Bian gently blew the cigarette from the mouth of the bird and scolded: "The bird thief, at first glance, he is a fool who has never played the bird system." ”
