Chapter 78: The Jingshi Tofu Army
A complete plan was quickly born in Zhu Youzhen's mind.
On the third day, the soldiers had already eaten breakfast, and Zhu Youzhen began to gather the generals to count the troops:
"Jiang Zhengcai? Xu Dong? ”
Jiang Zhengcai was the commander of the infantry guard of the Fenwu battalion. Originally, the Fenwu battalion only had Liu Yuxuan's cavalry guard and Li Hongjun's infantry guard, but later the Fenwu battalion supplemented all the empty men with the support of Wei Zhongxian and added an infantry guard, and Jiang Zhengcai became the commander of this infantry guard. And Xu Dong is the commander of the infantry guard of Zu Da Shouyao's military battalion.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two agreed, their bodies were straight, neither of them had ever been on the battlefield, and now that Zhu Youjian had come to them, he would definitely give them a chance to make meritorious contributions. They didn't hide the smugness on their faces, and they didn't pay attention to the envious glances of the other guard commanders.
"Rest in the morning, and after noon, take turns to attack the city with your men and men. Remember, along the way, the uniforms are crooked, the equipment is sideways, the queue is not neat, and people have to look listless. When attacking a city, only a small number of bows and arrows are allowed, and they can be crushed with one blow. As long as you grind for two hours, it will be a great achievement. Zhu Youzhen felt that he had made it clear enough, if he couldn't implement it well, it was because of the understanding of the two guard commanders.
The two looked at each other, and the smug look on their faces suddenly turned into bitter melons, how did this Highness command the battle?
Man Gui also felt that something was wrong, and Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou basically understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, and their eyes lit up, like a football knockout game in overtime, and the opponent was sent off, but the side won a penalty and waited to slaughter the other party.
"Your Highness, there are no soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion, please make it clear, otherwise, your subordinates will not be able to explain to the soldiers." Jiang Zhengcai couldn't help it.
"Haha, Zhengcai, you can't just rely on courage to fight, you have to use your brains." Zhu Youzhen laughed and pointed to his temple.
"Your Highness?" Jiang Zhengcai still didn't understand, but he found that Yuan Chonghuan and the others were also laughing, "Could it be that His Highness has another good plan?" ”
"Good schemes? Haha, my good plan is that you must resolutely implement the decision of the battalion headquarters, and this afternoon, the more your soldiers are planted, the better. Zhu Youzhen found that this Jiang Zhengcai was really stupid and cute.
"Your Highness?" Jiang Zhengcai felt that he seemed to have understood Zhu Youzhen's good strategy, but he was not very thorough. His brain is vague, but since Zhu Youzhen has decided, he only has the points to execute, and the soldier takes obedience as his duty!
"Zhengcai, you really don't understand my intentions? Then you step aside, I'm going to change the bait. Zhu Youzhen couldn't cry or laugh.
"Bait?" Jiang Zhengcai finally understood, he had this feeling just now, but he didn't say it so clearly as Zhu Youzhen. He saluted: "Your Highness, your subordinates promise to be this bait!" ”
"Hahaha......" Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou looked at this stupid presumptuous smug, and even Man Gui grinned.
Jiang Zhengcai scratched his hair vigorously, also smiled stupidly, and then turned around and ran away: "Your Highness, I'll prepare, otherwise these rabbit cubs won't understand His Highness's good plan......"
After noon, Chiang Zhengcai's soldiers first launched an attack on the east city gate.
Jiang Zhengcai stopped five hundred steps from the city gate. Five hundred paces is a very good distance, which allows you to clearly see the attack of the soldiers, but it is not within the range of the bow and arrow at the head of the city.
In addition to the 300 overseers, the remaining 3,000 soldiers divided into several columns and slowly marched towards the city gate.
The soldiers spoke as they advanced, not paying any attention to the bandits at the head of the city.
A soldier accidentally stepped on the heel of the soldier in front, the soldier in front scolded, and the soldier behind was not convinced: "Isn't it just stepping on you, what's the big deal?" He nudged the soldier in front of him.
The soldiers in front were even more angry, and the two sides soon scuffled together, and the soldiers around them all stopped to cheer on the two soldiers. Their commanders were so angry that they each kicked each of them before they returned to the group in a huff, but they glared at each other and crooked their necks.
It was only one hundred and fifty steps from the city gate. A soldier accidentally tripped over a raised stone on the ground because he was looking up at the sky, and fell heavily to the ground, causing the soldiers to be very happy.
At a hundred paces, the soldiers in the front row began to draw their bows and arrows, and they did not even need to aim, but shot directly at the bandits at the head of the city.
The bandits at the head of the city were shocked: the range of the Jiannu and Tartars, who had lived on horseback since childhood, was only sixty paces, and at most eighty paces, and the range of these Jingshi archers reached a hundred paces. And they don't have to aim at all, are they all sharpshooters?
The bandits at the head of the city were so frightened that they lay behind the parapet wall and completely covered their bodies.
But it wasn't as they imagined, and arrows fell from the sky to the top of the city. A daring bandit began to move towards the battlement, gradually revealing one eye.
"Huh?" The bandit, who showed one eye, cried out, his voice changing a little from excitement.
"What's wrong?" The rest of the bandits moved towards the battlement.
"You don't have to worry about the arrows, you see." The bandit pointed to the city, and his body was completely exposed outside the wall.
The bandits came out one after another, and they were surprised to find that the arrows were still 108,000 miles away from the city.
"Be careful, beware of deception, they are the Jingshi Army." A man who looked like a small leader reminded the bandits loudly.
Sixty steps. The head of the city has a terrain advantage and has come into range of bows and arrows.
"Shoot the arrows." The little boss gave the order coldly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
Arrows rained down at the head of the city, and someone in the front of the Jingshi army was hit by arrows.
The crimson blood flowed outward as the arrows shattered.
"Huh?" The Jingshi army seemed to have just discovered that the arrows shot from the city's head, and they shouted, turned around and ran back.
Jiang Zhengcai was embarrassed and angry, and the overseers also raised their swords and guns one after another, and the soldiers turned around again and rushed towards the city gate.
The rain of arrows at the head of the city is an insurmountable barrier for the Jingshi army.
After three attacks, Jiang Zhengcai had to withdraw all the soldiers and pull them to the side for training, and Xu Dong replaced Jiang Zhengcai and began to launch a new round of attacks on the East City Gate.
More than 3,000 soldiers, sitting in an open area, Jiang Zhengcai began to speak.
Some of the soldiers were squatting, some were sitting on the grass, and some soldiers who had a good relationship were leaning on each other, and even some wounded soldiers were lying in front of Jiang Zhengcai.
Jiang Zhengcai danced with his hands, and he was quite excited. He would point to the soldier's head and count a few words, and then he would point to the soldier's nose and curse.
The soldiers were talking to each other, and their eyes were not on Jiang Zhengcai.
A soldier leaned on his companion and snickered. His companions, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, abruptly retreated, and the soldier fell to the ground and woke up at once. He grabbed his short knife and slashed indiscriminately: "The bandits are coming? ”
Jiang Zhengcai was furious and kicked the two soldiers in the ass twice......
Xu Dong's soldiers also couldn't cross the rain of arrows at the head of the city, he withdrew the soldiers and trotted to see Jiang Zhengcai: "Commander Jiang, my soldiers can't get close to the city gate. ”
Jiang Zhengcai's lecture was over, and he finally pointed at the noses of several soldiers and emphasized a few words, and then said to Xu Dong: "I will let my soldiers try again." ”
Before they could reach the edge of the wall, they were shot back by a rain of arrows from the bandits. Subsequently, under the coercion of Jiang Zhengcai, they trembled into a new attack, but soon they were busy rushing back in the rain of arrows from the city.
Later, when the bandits at the head of the city saw the Jingshi army coming to attack, they were no longer nervous, and first shouted in unison: "Jingshi Tofu Army!" Then there was a rain of arrows.
Throughout the afternoon, the two infantry guards, nearly seven thousand soldiers, like a huge ping-pong ball, went back and forth between the command envoy in the back and the city wall in front. Although the shield was on his head, the casualties were not large, but in addition to provoking the ridicule of the bandits defending the city, it was not the slightest benefit to the siege.
A pair of wolf-like eyes glowing with greedy light kept staring at the soldiers attacking outside the city, until Jiang Zhengcai and Xu Dong outside the city gave the order to retreat, and the soldiers ran out of sight in cheers, and the wolf-like greedy eyes quietly disappeared from behind the daughter wall.
At night, in the city of Weinan, the guard general Feng Luoxi and the deputy general Anxi were arguing about the sneak attack.
“…… The Jingshi Army is just like that, and it is not much different from the border army. Besides, the Jingshi army is tired from afar, and our army is waiting for work, and tonight is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. "Feng Luoxi turned out to be a talent from Baishui County, and after joining the bandit army, he read several military books and learned a little about the art of war. In the illiterate bandit army, the literate Feng Luoxi was deeply appreciated by Wang Er and became the general of Weinan.
"Lord Feng, the Jingshi army is coming rapidly, and the army will first grab Tongguan, the key place in the pass, and the main general will definitely know the art of war. Our army should avoid its edge, hold Weinan tightly, and rely on the advantage of the city wall to confront the officers and troops. "The deputy general Anxi turned out to be a thousand generals of the Shaanxi border army, because the military salary could not support the family, after the Wang Er incident, he decisively joined the bandit army, and was promoted to the deputy general of Weicheng because of his repeated military exploits.
"Lord An, no wonder the border army collapsed with one blow. How can such cowardice be successful? Feng Luoxi's eyes, like wolves, showed greedy fluorescence.
"Lord Feng, you...... The officers and troops are coming from afar, and the supply of grain and grass is bound to be difficult, so we don't have to be in a hurry, and it is not too late to wait for the officers and troops to be chaotic and then go out of the city to destroy the enemy. Anxi felt insulted, but he was promoted because of his military exploits, and he was not comparable to Feng Luoxi's status as Wang Er's confidant.
"In Weinan, I am the main general, so there is no need to argue. Tonight, I personally led 10,000 soldiers to attack the camp, and General An led his own army to defend the city. Feng Luoxi waved his hand and made an impatient gesture.
He didn't want to argue with Anxi any longer, the Jingshi army was tofu, who could disguise it on the battlefield for an afternoon? He still has to go back to get a good night's sleep, yesterday someone gave him an official lady, he hasn't had time to enjoy it yet, maybe tonight's good luck will come after another.
"Now that Lord Feng has decided, you might as well bring more soldiers. The last general will defend the city, and the city of Weinan will be strong, and there will be no loss for a while. Anxi sighed, he saw that he couldn't persuade Feng Luoxi, so he had to compromise, hoping that the Jingshi army was really as vulnerable as Feng Luoxi saw.
"Okay, then I will take 20,000 soldiers out of the city to make meritorious contributions, as long as General An guards Weinan City, it will also be a great achievement." Feng Luoxi was full of confidence, and his eyes kept shaking the half-open water-green dress of the official lady.
At the third watch, Feng Luoxi finally climbed down from the water green skirt, satisfied as if he was a real general, not a Xiucai birth.
There was a lot of noise outside, and Feng Luoxi's soldiers were ready, just waiting for him to be a majestic general again.
He got dressed in two or two, and when he was about to go out, he touched the delicate face of the water green skirt again: "Beauty, wait, I'll be back in a while." The real water green skirt has long been thrown aside, and Feng Luoxi suddenly felt that compared to now, she wore a water green skirt with her breasts half exposed, which could tempt her to be a general on the bed more.
Feng Luoxi came to the military playground, and the soldiers stopped the noise and stood quietly in the night.
"Let's go." The voice of the herald was not loud, but in this quiet third watch, it was spread far away, and the 20,000 army, under the personal leadership of Feng Luoxi, quietly went out of the east city gate, and along the way, unknowingly, went straight to the camp of the Beijing division army.
