Chapter 42 Dong Zhang
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
"How many troops are coming, and who is leading the troops?" Li Congjing sat still and asked calmly.
"There are about 100 riders, playing the banner of the word 'Dong'!" The spy said.
"Since there is a banner with the word 'Dong', it should be Dong Zhang, the assassin of Huaizhou." Li Congjing groaned and looked at everyone, "What do you have to say about the current situation?" ”
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and everyone was solemn.
The lone soldier went deep into the enemy mirror, and he was afraid of this situation.
Wu Changjian, one of the three commanders of the Military Intelligence Department, stood up first and said, "General, Dong Zhang has appeared, and his army must not be far away." If we were the current class teachers, we might not be pursued, we have more than a dozen carriages, and we can't go fast, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Today's plan is to rely on Changhe City to hold on, and then ask for help from the commander of Li Shaocheng. We have gentlemen and soldiers from the military intelligence department, when we can hold on for some time, when our army arrives, we don't have to be afraid of Dong Zhang's fight! ”
Li Congjing bowed slightly, but he was noncommittal, but just said: "Commander Wu is also an old man. ”
Li Rong was a little puzzled: "Huaizhou is based on this, to say the least, it is a two-day journey, and this Dong Zhang will arrive in half a day, but it will come quickly." ”
Last night, the Hundred Battles Army attacked the city, because of the lack of troops, it was naturally impossible to control everyone, and it was really common for someone to go out of the city to report the news. It's just that everyone never thought that Dong Zhang would come so quickly, just like the sky.
Meng Ping pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "He is only a hundred horses, I'm afraid that he will do something." Even if he has thousands of troops and horses behind him, and he captures Dong Zhang first, what can they do to me? ”
Although Meng Ping's words made some sense, they were obviously not accepted by everyone and attracted a lot of opposition. Li Rong said: "It's too risky, once we miss, we will all fall into a certain death situation." ”
Commander Li felt risky, but Meng thought it was king. No, there is no second way. Sticking to the enemy mirror is no different from looking for death. Meng Ping's tone was flat, but the meaning was tough.
"Okay, don't fight anymore." Li Congjing stood up, "Pass on my military order: the goods will go out of the city from the east gate, and will be escorted by the soldiers of the military intelligence department, and the soldiers who were injured last night will return to the east together." The rest of the soldiers went out of the West Gate with this envoy to meet Dong Zhang! ”
After the military order was issued, even if there were some people who disagreed, everyone responded with a bang. At that moment, the Hundred Battles Army was divided into two divisions, packed up and stopped, and acted separately according to Li Congjing's order.
Li Congjing led people out of the West Gate to intercept Dong Zhang, but he didn't walk fast, and he was quite idle. On the way, Li Congjing chatted with Meng Ping, and he said: "After you arrived at the Hundred Battles Army, you have grown very fast, and in the past three months, your martial arts have also been a lot stronger, right?" ”
Meng Ping said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi for your praise, follow Gongzi, how can there be any reason not to grow?" ”
Li Congjing smiled and said nothing. Meng Ping continued: "In fact, although martial arts have improved, what has really improved is not anything else, but the art of fighting for life. I have never been on the battlefield before, and I have martial arts, but I can't really kill people. After arriving at the Hundred Battles Army, after several experiences, between life and death, it can be regarded as an understanding. When I was in Jinyang before, there were no more people in the city who were equal to my martial arts, and there were no more than two hands. But now, if I encounter them again, even those who were stronger than me before, I can take their lives lightly. ”
"It's rare that you can know this way right now." Li Congjing nodded. Meng Ping is his real descendant, one of the closest and most trusted people, so once he has the opportunity, he does not forget to motivate, and then said: "Your martial arts talent is not worse than mine, but it is just a hone and comprehension, and you will encourage yourself in the future, and the future should be limitless." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I won't let you down!" Meng Ping said energetically.
Not far from the city, they saw a dark shadow emerging from the snow on the road ahead. Stay closer, and the banner of the word "Dong" can be seen more clearly. The people in front also saw Li Congjing and the others, and the two sides were a hundred steps away from each other and stopped one after another.
The Jin army met the Liang army.
"The one in front is Dong Zhang, Dong Thorn History?" Li Congjing took two steps forward, hugged his fists and smiled, his attitude was casual, not at all like he was in danger.
Liang Jun is the leader of the army, he can give people the feeling of a golden sword when he sits on a horse, which is all due to his lush beard. Dong Zhang shouted: "This history is Dong Zhang, who is in front, report your name!" ”
Dong Zhang naturally knew that it was Li Congjing in front of him, but he asked like this and asked Li Congjing to answer, because he wanted to overwhelm the other party in momentum and take the initiative.
Li Congjing smiled and said, "If the general doesn't even know who is below, I have to wonder if you are Dong Zhang." According to the dignified Huaizhou Thorn History, the IQ would not have been so low. ”
This made Dong Zhang very angry, and he said sharply: "Li Congjing! When you die, you still have the ability to speak your tongue, and this history advises you to be obediently restrained, otherwise you will not be spared! If you dare to sneak attack the city of this history, this history will not spare you! ”
"General Dong is so majestic, it doesn't look like the envoy captured your city at all, but it looks like you attacked the envoy's city." Li Congjing laughed and said, "But Dong Tingshi, since you want Li's head, why don't you move, can't you send it by yourself?" ”
"You ......" Dong Zhang was furious, he snorted coldly, "Li Congjing, you still don't have to be arrogant, the envoy has already made the army and the nearby town army surround on all sides, you can't run away!" ”
"Oh? That is to say, behind General Dong, there are really only 100 horsemen, and there is no army to follow? Li Congjing teased, "The envoy was strange before, how did you get from Huaizhou to Changhe in half a day when the heavy snow blocked the road." Now that I think about it, there is only one explanation left: General Dong didn't lead a large army to recover the city, but it just happened to be nearby, so he could come quickly, right? How, knowing that the envoy only led more than 300 people to Changhe, General Dong wanted to scare off my 300 soldiers with his own strength? ”
Dong Zhang was stunned for a moment, his face had changed, and he was about to say something, but Li Congjing had already continued: "That's right, it stands to reason that it is impossible for three hundred people to attack the city, and General Dong must have guessed that this envoy's trip was a different plan." There is nothing special about Changhe, the only thing worth mentioning is that it is quite rich. ”
So General Dong guessed that the envoy had come here for plunder. Since it is a plunder, it must come and go quickly. General Dong was unwilling to let the envoy take the advantage and leave, so he quickly chased after him, wanting to scare the envoy and make me obediently give up my belongings and flee alone. If not, how can you only have these guards and soldiers around you? ”
After speaking, Li Congjing laughed and said, "General Dong, I don't know if the envoy's analysis is reasonable?" ”
After listening to what Li Congjing said, Dong Zhang's face changed for a while, he wanted to overwhelm Li Congjing in momentum, but he never wanted Li Congjing to explain his actions in a few words, he had already been bluffed by him, how could there be half a bit of oppressive momentum at all?
However, if you want Dong Zhang to admit defeat, it is obviously impossible, he said with a gloomy face: "Li Congjing, don't say as if you have taken a big advantage!" Now there are only more than 100 people behind you, not much more than this history, I think you are very young, but I don't know how your martial arts are. If you die under the lance of this history, even if you can guess the purpose of this history, what can you do? ”
Saying that, Dong Zhang's murderous intent has risen. What he said was really good, and after listening to his words, the momentum of the soldiers behind him really soared. Obviously, they are still quite confident in Dong Zhang's combat power.
Morale is not only the soul of the army, but also the soul of war. If morale is high, the combat power will be doubled, and if the morale is low, it will not be able to fight. Therefore, Dong Zhang and Li Congjing said so much, which was nothing more than to improve their own morale and suppress the morale of the other party. Because they were so close in strength, morale was the key factor in this victory.
Seeing Dong Zhang take off the horse lance, Li Congjing laughed again, and the laughter stopped and the sound of ridicule began, and he said: "General Dong has come all the way to step on the snow, how much strength do you have?" The Hundred Battles Army has been waiting for a long time, full of energy and strength. The tired army does not hit the dignified array. Could it be that General Dong doesn't know the art of war? Roll up the armor and tend, day and night, double the road, a hundred miles and fight for profits, then capture three generals; Fifty miles and fighting for profit, then jump on - general! Your army marched in the snow, I don't know how far it has gone? ”
As he spoke, Li Congjing picked up the horse lance, pointed at Dong Zhang, and said hesitantly: "Moreover, didn't General Dong hear that this envoy had beheaded Zhang Lang outside Weizhou City?" Among these three armies, the head of the general is the best thing for this envoy! ”
As soon as the words fell, he no longer gave Dong Zhang a chance to speak, shouted loudly, and drove his horse forward, "Gentlemen, kill!" ”
