Chapter 122: Dongkou Town Encounter [1]

During the march, a scout horse galloped from the front with a whipped whip and a puff of smoke.

Although the banner of the Tanma was hung, the ironclad soldiers did not relax, their spirits were concentrated, and the spears in their hands were slightly tilted forward.

The tanma also knew this rule, and before Zhao Yu was in front of the battle, he had already restrained the war horse, turned over and dismounted in some embarrassment, knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and reported loudly from afar: "Report to the prince!" Dongkou Town could not hold on, and had been attacked by the bullback thieves, so the king commander asked for a change of order, and stationed near the hill about five miles away from Dongkou Town, northwest of Dongkou Town, waiting! ”

Hearing the news, Zhao Yudeng's face showed surprise. Zhao Yu couldn't have imagined that Dongkou Town would be breached so quickly, how to say that this is also a small town, protected by low city walls. This immediately disrupted Zhao Yu's plan a little. After thinking about it, Zhao Yu decided to leave the decision to Wang Jue, the front-line general, and said to the Tanma: "Approve the request, and allow Wang Jue to act cheaply!" ”

One of the biggest characteristics of the Song Dynasty was that the army marched to war, and the autonomy of the generals in front did not have much. Just like this time, Zhao Yu forgot to give Wang Qi the right to act cheaply.

Even if Wang Jue knew that Dongkou Town had been breached, he had to rush outside Dongkou Town and wait for Zhao Yu in the plains. The most he could do was to send someone to ask Zhao Yu to change the military order, but this time and again, I don't know how much time was wasted. As the so-called soldiers are fast, if they delay like this, the fighter plane will be greatly missed.

When the order arrived at Wang Jue, Wang Jue's headquarters was already surrounded by nature.

Having obtained the right to act cheaply from Zhao Yu, Wang Qi's tense face, which was already about seven miles away from Dongkou Town, immediately relaxed, and the person was also a little relieved. Wang Qi knew about his own affairs because his own family, and he only had 400 soldiers in the death battalion under his command, not to mention them, and they were all recruits who had never seen blood and had been trained for seven or eight days.

It is also thanks to the veterans of the forbidden army to carry it, otherwise there would not be many people left behind in this rapid march. Once surrounded by those bullback thieves, Wang Jue was afraid that the death camp would die before he could leave the army, and he would have to go.

Wang Jue asked the whole army to rest and recuperate, after all, if anything else, war is likely to break out. Don't look at the infantry march, it's only seven or eight miles in half an hour, but if the war really starts, who will walk seven or eight miles in half an hour? A quarter of an hour is enough for a rapid march of more than four miles!

Arriving at the foot of the hill northwest of Dongkou Town, Wang Jue found that the situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Some of the cattle thieves burned and looted in Dongkou Town, and the other part, about 1,000 people, stationed in the west outside Dongkou Town, dug shallow trenches as temporary fortifications.

Although there were 1,000 people stationed outside, Wang Jue's sharp eyes could already see that the defense outside Dongkou Town was basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was not surprising that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Jue doesn't think it's strange. The Oxback Thieves themselves are a newly unified group of bandits, how disciplined do you expect them to be? And plundering inside Dongkou Town is undoubtedly better than guarding against the extermination of officials and troops outside.

Who wants to be out there and be conscientious and walk on thin ice to guard the officers and soldiers?

Wang Jue decided to rush and kill for a while, which frustrated the morale of the other party! It's best to force the other party into the town of Higashiguchi. The other party is now dividing his troops, undoubtedly wanting to leave quickly after looting. In fact, this is also the most common way of fighting the Liukou, after all, it doesn't matter what the Liukou say, against the official army, it's okay to win, once it fails, it will be a blow to destroy the surname.

"Give up camping! Get ready for battle! Wang Jue's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.

Yu Hou Dengshi, who served the death camp, was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Commander, the enemy has a thousand people stationed there, and two or three thousand are the backers. And although our army is called the forbidden army, it is actually only trained for seven or eight days! And the number of troops is seriously less than that of the other party, which must not be done! ”

Wang Jue shook his head decisively and said, "I don't know this, I only know that fighting on the battlefield depends on one breath." If you can't be the first to take the lead, you will be taken away by others. With such a military mentality, if someone takes it away, everything will be over! ”

Although Yu Hou still had different opinions in his heart, he had no choice but to make sense of Wang Jue's words, and the most important thing was that Wang Jue had made up his mind. Wang Qi has the right to act cheaply just given by Zhao Yu, and Marquis Yu has no way to stop him.

Wang Qi divided the death camp into two parts, each with two capitals (one with 100 people).

Wang Jue held an iron whip in his hand and stood in front of the formation to boost morale. "You all know your name! Death Camp! What is a death camp? Serve the dead! He will fight to the death to repay the favor of the court! Now it's time for you to die! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qi waved his iron whip, his eyes were round, like an angry tiger. "The settling-in allowance has been distributed to your family! Even if you die, your family will not be left behind! If you want to escape, your family will not escape the punishment of the court! The male apprentice Lingnan, the female is not recorded. Fang! If you die in battle, your family can also get a pension, and if you are lucky enough not to die in battle, you will receive a rich reward! How do you choose? ”

"I am willing to die for the court! Willing to die for the command! More than a dozen commanders from the forbidden army shouted in unison.

The other soldiers of the death battalion listened, and their voices echoed with some lack of confidence. "I am willing to die for the court! Willing to die for the command! ”

Wang Qi said angrily: "The general is not afraid of death, why should you be afraid?" Yu Hou pushed the rear, and the front followed the general to charge, retreat to the latter, and all of them were killed, sin and family! ”

No one dares to say anything anymore, in fact, those who dare to enter the death camp have the will to die in their hearts. It's just that when things come to an end, it is impossible to say that there are no scruples. Now seeing that Wang Qi said that he was the first soldier, coupled with the crime of escaping and his family, these soldiers of the death battalion did not dare to work anymore.

One by one, they tore their throats and shouted: "I am willing to die for the court!" Willing to die for the command! ”

Wang Jue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good!" Let's go! ”

After saying that, Wang Jue immediately took the lead, wearing iron armor and holding an iron whip, charging at the forefront.

Marquis Yu took 200 soldiers as the overseer and postponed. The 200 soldiers who were selected didn't dare to have any luck, and followed Wang Jue one by one, although they were nervous to death, but their pace was not slow.

The cowback thief was stunned, and the person responsible for staying on the periphery was the five masters of Niubei Mountain, who had recently joined the gang and had been a border army in Hebei for three years, but because of a crime, he had to fall into the grass. A simple knife in one hand makes it quite good, and there is a nickname in the green forest - Open Heaven Knife, which means that his knife is powerful and powerful.

The five masters have mixed up some achievements over the years, and some of them are not in sight. Seeing that Wang Jue had such a small number of troops, he actually dared to attack, and after reacting, it made him angry.
