Chapter 108: Old treacherous and cunning
The first army camp in Central China outside the city of De'an was immersed in a sweet sleep, even if there were birds passing by, they were interrupted by the sound of snoring one after another, these soldiers were too tired, they searched the city of De'an during the day, and finally looted some belongings, but were taken by the officials, and they had to borrow wine to kill their sorrows and sleep beautifully.
The entire camp tent was clearly divided into three parts according to the brigade structure, and Zhou Defa's Chinese army tent was set up in the center, and a lone lamp was lit up leisurely, reminding everyone who was the boss of the entire army. Qian Defa's brigade was obviously smaller because of Chang Zhenbang's detachment, and was surrounded by the rest of the brigade as if it were nothing, and the soldiers on duty at night also walked back and forth in the camp listlessly, leaning on the camp sentry and sleeping for a while from time to time, in short, no one took it seriously, even if there were occasionally a few lights in the camp, those Qiu Ba came out to go to the toilet.
"Lao Wang, today's wine is so delicious!" A night patrol officer said drunkly.
The other said leisurely: "This is tribute wine, tribute wine!" In the past, it was specially given to the emperor to Lafayette to drink, if you kid didn't thank Lao Tzu for the blessing of Lao Tzu to drink such a good wine? Dream on! ”
"Don't think I don't know where you grabbed it!" The drunken soldier said with an unconvinced face: "It's the fourth watch now, and when it's dawn, Lao Tzu will take someone to Lu's house and bring all their drinks to invite my brother to drink." The younger brother not only invited the eldest brother to drink, but also let the little girl strip naked for the eldest brother to have fun! ”
"Come on!" The swaying soldier said: "The little girl of the Lu family is a powerful little pepper, you dare to touch her, be careful where he goes to Lord Zhou to complain!" ”
"I'm afraid of hanging!" The drunken soldier said, "Rich and powerful! It's a big deal to rob their house and burn it down, see where the little girl is going to sue! ”
"High, that's a tall idea! Lao Tzu likes it! The kid is so bold, much stronger than our son of a company's company commander. I think we should even be in charge, brother! The swaying soldier was so drunk that his tongue was even bigger at this time, but he was talking nonsense: "Brother don't want anything else, just give me the head of that little girl!" I've never played such a good-looking little girl when I'm so old! ”
The drunken soldier said a little unhappily: "The first time Lao Tzu ...... Big brother, what do you think is that? ”
The swaying soldier looked in the direction of the drunken soldier's finger, and saw a red lotus flower suddenly appear in the sky. Immediately said a little unhappily: "Boy, you don't know this, that's not smoke...... Not good, enemy attack! ”
"Enemy attack?" Drunk and stunned, scratching his head for a long time, and before he could react to what was going on, he saw that there was a sudden whistling sound outside the entire camp like a big wave of sand, and countless soldiers rushed over like a big wave in the sound of artillery, and the bullets rained down, and then saw that the big camp in front of them and behind them was already in chaos, but they were all scurrying soldiers, like boiled dumplings, headless flies.
"Brother, let's get down quickly!" When the swaying soldiers saw where they were drunk, they immediately pulled him over and pressed him to the ground, and saw many soldiers rushing past them, and the soldiers who stood up and ran around were all killed or knocked down by the sudden gunshots, and then these soldiers who rushed over didn't care about the life and death of these people, and rushed straight towards Zhou Defa's tent like a wave, Chang Zhenbang rushed into the tent with a horse, and went to see the two horses in the tent falling to the ground drunk, Qian Defa, Wang Tianzhen, Li Zhizhong was tied up with five flowers, his mouth was stuffed with cloth, and he squatted back to back in the middle of the camp tent, but he didn't see Zhou Defa. Chang Zhenbang was taken aback, and immediately threw down the cloth in Li Zhizhong's mouth, patted Li Zhizhong's face vigorously and said, "Sixth brother, wake up!" ”
Li Zhizhong woke up in a daze, and saw Chang Zhenbang with only three sentences, the first sentence was Lao Qi, why are you here, the second sentence is, Lao Qi run, and the third sentence Run.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cannon sound behind him, and the forest not far away suddenly fired thousands of cannons towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
"It's ruthless!" Chang Zhenbang asked the soldiers to untie the ropes of Qian Defa and the others, and shouted through gritted teeth: "In order for so many people to put in my Chang Zhenbang's head, I Chang Zhenbang obeyed!" As he spoke, he rushed out of the camp and said loudly: "Brothers, rush over with me and capture Zhou Defa alive!" Saying that, he turned over and rode towards the direction of the mountains and forests to open artillery, and the Jiujiang army, which was shocked by the sudden sound of artillery, subconsciously rushed over with Chang Zhenbang, many people were killed by the cannons, and some people took the opportunity to become deserters, but most of the army still rushed over with Chang Zhenbang.
Zhou Defa lay in the forest, from his German-made binoculars, saw a shell blooming in the camp, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, although he was the nominal boss of the first army, but after all, it was impossible for these temporarily withdrawn brigades to let him move like an arm, in the battle of Jiangxi Kwai Chou, their first army in Central China was used by Li Chun as cannon fodder, which is true, but it is the same for whoever sits in his position, what he can do is to make the Central China Army that has become cannon fodder have fewer casualties, He confidently did this, but those regiment commanders and brigade commanders quit and kicked their noses and faces every day, and this time they used these people as bait, which really made him feel the pleasure of spitting out the puff in his chest.
"Report to your lordship, the rest of the Jiujiang Army is attacking towards the mountains and forests, and I hope that your lord will make a decision as soon as possible!" A scout came up to him and said.
Zhou Defa smiled and said, "Let Zhao Yazhi's department turn the muzzle and bomb those dogs in Jiujiang to death." At the same time, let Wu Qibu prepare for close combat, and the other departments and I will be on standby at any time, and Chang Zhenbang was killed in today's battle, and the brothers have their own rewards! ”
"Send someone to tell those dog cubs, let them cooperate with our department, and annihilate Chang Zhenbang!"
The herald immediately distributed Zhou Defa's military orders one by one.
The cannon of Zhao Yazhi's department immediately aimed at Chang Zhenbang on the black horse, and bombarded it with one shot.
Chang Zhenbang instinctively felt uncomfortable, and then a cannon shot fell not far away and exploded, splashing dust and shock waves to lift Chang Zhenbang and the black Puma to the side, but this black Puma was really good, just when he was about to fall, he jumped suddenly, stood up again, and rushed forward with Chang Zhenbang for a distance, and the soldiers saw that Chang Zhenbang did not spare his life, but also bravely moved forward, and soon rushed out of the effective range of the muzzle.
Wu Qi, who had been waiting for work for a long time, looked at Chang Zhenbang and the others, licked his lips, and thought to himself that he heard that Li San had made a great contribution today, and Ming'er heard that Wang Si had made a great contribution, Lao Tzu was really a little unconvinced, but he didn't expect Lao Tzu to make a great contribution today, thinking of this, he smiled, stretched out his hand and said: "Brothers, give it to me, and those who capture Chang Zhenbang alive will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and the official worships the battalion commander!" The soldiers around him cheered and rushed over like tigers descending the mountain, not fighting with Chang Zhenbang's Jiujiang army.
When he came, Chang Zhenbang was a brigade formation, and until now, there is less than a regiment of brothers behind him, although these people are few, but those who survived are not of a bad breed, even if Wu Qi waits for work, he will not be able to resist these Jiujiang army like fierce dragons crossing the river, and soon the war will be like a side conducive to the development of the Jiujiang army. This can be very bad Wu Qi, he immediately asked Zhou Defa for help, Zhou Defa received Wu Qi's request for help, and immediately put all the troops into the battlefield, this time the Jiujiang army was a little unable to support, after all, the opponent is almost a brigade of troops.
After Chang Zhenbang shot and killed a soldier who came up to entangle, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I, Chang Zhenbang, would die here today!" ”
Hua Zhongtian didn't know where to come from and said: "Adults can't have soft thoughts, Zhou Defa is a veteran of a hundred battles after all, and it is not unjust to lose in his hands, the brothers all hope that the adults will break out of the encirclement and avenge the brothers!" ”
"Catch the one on the black horse!" At this time, I heard a lot of Central China troops rushing behind me.
Hua Zhongtian hurriedly pulled Chang Zhenbang off the horse, turned over on the horse himself, and said to Chang Zhenbang: "Please go to the humble horse!" As he spoke, he rushed towards those Central Chinese troops.
Chang Zhenbang jumped on the yellow floating horse of Huazhongtian, gathered about less than a battalion of soldiers and retreated down the mountain, but the Huazhong army behind was biting the back and shouting: "The one wearing the general's uniform is Chang Zhenbang!" Catch a reward of 1,000 yuan! ”
Chang Zhenbang had no choice but to take off his military uniform, put on a white shirt and walked away in embarrassment, Wu Qi, who had been hiding in the forest to command, rushed over at this time, and shouted: "The one wearing the white shirt is Chang Zhenbang, and he caught a reward of 1,000 yuan!" ”
Chang Zhenbang had no choice but to grab a military flag from the ground and wrap it around his body, who knew that he was facing a general in Central China who was full of temperament, it was Zhou Defa's artillery battalion commander Zhao Yazhi, and the sergeants who were clustered around Chang Zhenbang rushed over to block it, but were hit by Zhao Yazhi's horse. Zhao Yazhi shouted: "Chang Zhenbang is not caught yet!" ”
Chang Zhenbang was taken aback and the horsewhip in his hand quietly landed, how is this good, Chang Zhenbang didn't think about it in a hurry, his legs kicked up towards the stomach of Huang Piaoma, Huang Piaoma was very struggling, and immediately ran towards the bottom of the mountain, Huang Piaoma's force, suddenly opened up a distance, who knew that Wu Qi rushed over and shouted: "Chang Zhenbang is leaving!" Hurry up and get off the horse and catch it, or Lao Tzu will make your head bloom! ”
Before Chang Zhenbang could speak, Zhao Yazhi rushed over, blocked in front of Wu Qi, and said, "Lao Wu is my prey, you get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" ”
Wu Qi said disdainfully: "Wait until you are a little angry and then say these two words, so as not to embarrass our masters!" After speaking, he whipped the horse, rushed over from Zhao Yazhi's side, and chased after Chang Zhenbang.
Chang Zhenbang saw that there was no one around him at this time, and saw that Wu Qi was about to kill him, so he had to kick the horse forward again. Who knew that Huang Piaoma went over hard, and actually fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, Chang Zhenbang sighed, now that there is no horse, he has to spread his legs and run down the mountain, but no matter how powerful a person is, he only has two legs, which is comparable to the other party's four legs? Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, fortunately, there were many big trees around, Chang Zhenbang simply ran around the trees, but even this could not get rid of Wu Qi and Zhao Yazhi's pursuit at all, fortunately, these two people competed with each other and delayed a lot of time.
Who knew that at this moment, many Central Chinese troops rushed over from the mountain, completely blocking Chang Zhenbang's way down the mountain, Chang Zhenbang was taken aback, and he didn't stop at his feet, so he fell down. Zhao Yazhi and his horse immediately lifted Chang Zhenbang from the ground to the horse's back, and laughed loudly: "This great achievement, I, Zhao Yazhi, have established!" ”
Who knew that he didn't speak, a bullet came from the bottom of the mountain, concentrated Zhao Yazhi's shoulder, and smashed her to the ground, and then the Huazhong army under the mountain rushed up, Chang Zhenbang closed his eyes helplessly, who knew that these Huazhong troops were not coming towards him, but they launched a fierce attack on Zhou Defa's Huazhong army, these people were really merciless, but whenever they saw Zhou Defa's Huazhong army was a bullet, it was not over if it hit, and it had to be made up for it to be enjoyable.
The world is changing so fast that Chang Zhenbang almost can't believe his eyes, and then the Central China Army rushed out of a person and strode towards him, Chang Zhenbang fixed his eyes and saw that it was not an outsider, it was Li Zhizhong.
Li Zhizhong helped Chang Zhenbang up and said, "Brother, my brother is late!" Don't blame your brother! ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "If the sixth brother can come, he is the life-saving benefactor of the younger brother, if you dare to blame the elder brother again, it is really intolerable!" ”
Li Zhizhong sent someone to bring a black-spotted plum blossom and white-bellied horse, let Chang Zhenbang ride it, and said: "Zhou Defa was unkind and used the brothers of the First Army as bait, and the brothers were miserable, and the brothers were angry but their arms were wrapped red, and they looked for this Zhou Defa to take revenge!" ”
Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Where is the eldest brother now?" ”
Li Zhizhong said: "The eldest brother was angry after he was untied, and he got drunk after a few glasses of wine, if the eldest brother is not drunk, it would be good, I can't say that I can drive more brothers to find this Zhou Defa to avenge this arrow." ”
Chang Zhenbang glanced at the Central China Army with red cloth wrapped around his arms, there were quite a few people, there was almost a brigade of people, whether these people dared to kill Zhou Defa or not, they would be Li Zhizhong's hardcore descendants in the future, so he smiled slightly and said: "Congratulations to the sixth brother!" ”
Li Zhizhong sighed and said, "It's all Zhou Defa's old boy who did the evil!" I'm forced to do this too! Brother is really afraid that he will come late and delay you! Now it seems that I am too careful, brother, you are fine! ”
"The sixth brother's life-saving grace, the younger brother should repay him one day!" Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "By the way, where did the fifth brother go?" ”
"Don't mention him, just hold your breath when you mention it!" Li Zhizhong said fiercely: "Lao Tzu has never seen such a greedy person who is afraid of death. Seeing that his brother was about to be killed by Zhou Defa, he was indifferent, not only did he not move, but he also didn't let his eldest brother's team move! It's infuriating! ”
"The eldest brother's troops also listen to the fifth brother?" Chang Zhenbang asked curiously.
Li Zhizhong said: "I only saw it today, maybe it was ordered by the eldest brother!" ”
The two chatted for a while, and the Hongbuhua Chinese army finally repelled Zhou Defa's troops, although they did not capture the old thing alive, but they also disabled the old thing's troops. The scattered Jiujiang Army gradually gathered together, and after the counting, they were all sent to Chang Zhenbang's side, it turned out that when the mighty Jiujiang was a reorganized brigade, now it is only a little more than a regiment, Chang Zhenbang looked at the number reported and couldn't help but shed tears in distress, but he still held back his tears, smiled at these depressed Jiujiang Army and said: "The brothers are all good, it is precisely because of the hard fighting of the brothers that I let Chang Zhenbang turn against the Hongbu Huazhong Army and defeat Zhou Defa, You are all meritorious heroes! Later, I will invite my brothers to drink tribute sealed wine! ”
"Congratulations, congratulations, your lordship, your lordship plotted against the Red Cloth Army to defeat the old thief Zhou, it is really a clever plan." A soldier came out of the depressed soldiers, Chang Zhenbang looked familiar, walked in, and found that it was Zhang Youneng, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turned out to be Adjutant Zhang, this military uniform is really suitable for you!" ”
Zhang Youneng scratched his head embarrassedly with a smile, and knew that it would be a little embarrassing for him to change into a military uniform and flee for his life, so he had to whisper: "Thanks to the blessing of the adult, I was not captured as a prisoner by the old thief Zhou!" ”
"Well, I'm not going to blame you! This week, Defa is indeed a character, Lao Tzu has been beaten to change horses and strip, not to mention you! Chang Zhenbang sighed, looked at the sky showing the white belly of the fish, and found Li Zhizhong to let him boil a few pots of hot porridge to feed the remnants of the Jiujiang Army. Tears flowed down their faces, and some people began to cry loudly.
"How is Big Brother now?" Chang Zhenbang looked at Jiujiang Jun crying and said to Li Zhizhong.
Li Zhizhong smiled bitterly: "What else can the eldest brother do?" I'm drinking too! ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "Zhou Defa led the remnants to run away, what should I do with the Central China Army that stayed?" ”
Li Zhizhong sighed and said: "What else, Zhou Defa ran away last night, and the remaining two brigade commanders died unexpectedly, and now the boss is the largest brigade commander." Who listens to him if he does not listen? ”
"That's fine!" Chang Zhenbang said: "The eldest brother is not a bad person, but the brothers who followed the sixth brother to death last night handed over their lives to the sixth brother, and the sixth brother should not let down these brothers in the future!" ”
Li Zhizhong said: "The eldest brother is temporarily serving as the division commander of the First Army in Central China, and the fifth brother and I are temporarily serving as the brigade commander, staying in De'an to repair for a few days before returning to Central China." Congratulations to you, now you, the guard of Jiujiang Town, can be regarded as sitting firmly, don't care about the ugly words of the old brother, Jiujiang is surrounded by the chassis of the Beiyang Army, you have to be careful and careful, if you really can't get along, you will come to where the sixth brother is, I see who dares to move my brother on my territory! ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled and didn't say anything, but Li Zhizhong's words made him listen to the warmth.
