Chapter 178: Night Attack Jurong
Since Lin Renzhao led 50,000 troops from Runzhou to swear, Lin Renzhao no longer delayed along the way, but directly led the army all the way out of the city, some military towns west and south of Runzhou have been under Lin Renzhao's command, at the same time, rumors about Li Yu have also spread in the Tang Dynasty, although the new emperor ascended the throne, but as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, such news broke out, which really shook the whole world.
Lin Renzhao's army marched day and night, and had already led the army to a hundred miles east of Jurong City, which had been a few days after Li Congqing had arranged military affairs in Jinling.
To the east of Jurong, in a valley, the terrain is dangerous, but the mountains here are a little difficult to walk, and Lin Renzhao is stationed here tonight.
Lin Renzhao said loudly: "Not far away is Jurong City, which is the gateway of Jinling, and Jurong is also extremely important to our army. ”
Lin Renzhao had already arrived in front of the river, and not far from the river was the Qinhuai River, at this moment the water flow was very gentle, and it seemed very quiet, but in the air, small snowflakes floated in the air, and they fell on the torches of the army and turned into water droplets, and they disappeared when they fell into the river.
"Set up camp." Lin Renzhao's army immediately began to camp here.
…… An hour later, a fast horse in the distance was rushing towards the camp where Lin Renzhao was stationed, and the scout walked to the door of the camp with a rough breath as soon as he got off his horse.
As soon as the sergeant at the gate saw the scout coming, he immediately moved out of the way.
The scout rested for a quarter of an hour, and then trotted to the Chinese camp.
At this moment, in the camp, Lin Renzhao and the others are discussing military affairs, and today's task is the camp outside Jurong City, which is dozens of miles away.
The scout came, and told Lin Renzhao about the situation of the army outside Jurong City in 1510.
I saw Lin Renzhao on the side raise his head and ask the scout on the side: "Do you know how many defenders there are on this other side?" ”
These military reports intercepted by the scouts before, combined with the reports reported by the scouts just now, are now the case, at this moment a lieutenant general said: "Marshal, according to the report of the scout we sent out, the guard general Yu Yan led 20,000 troops, stationed in the Zhongshan area, Ma Chengcheng led 30,000 troops, stationed in Jurong of the Qinhuai River, and the remaining Ma Chengjun had 50,000 horses, and opened a battle on the west side of Lishui. ”
Lin Renzhao said earnestly: "One hundred thousand, our army is fifty thousand, but this amount of strength is almost enough for me." It's just that if these three people are strong and refuse to fight, my army may need to take a lot of trouble, and you will lead 5,000 horsemen to Jurong after midnight to harass Ma Chengcheng's department, remember that only harassment is allowed, not used. ”
"Yes." Lin Jingcheng immediately pulled the reins and ran towards the camp.
There were three soldiers on the side, and Lin Renzhao suddenly said: "Six generations are more overlords, and the ruins are in the capital." So far, between Qin and Huai, the rites and music show the heroes. Although this Jinling City seems to be tall and difficult to attack, Li Congqing is perverse, and Ben Shuai believes that the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life. If this man is sinister, the more unpopular he is, and the stronger the city, the more he will not be able to contain his rule. ”
The big tent of the Chinese army, let the wind and snow blow wildly, but Lin Renzhao's heart is even more firm at the moment.
At this moment, the generals and others on his side also followed, and the war horse lowered his head to drink in the river, and then roared into the sky.
……
The large camp on the west side of Jurong, connected with tents, is stationed here is the Tang State's Ma Chengcheng Department, there are 50,000 horses, the most among the three generals, and now they are lined up along the river bank.
In the camp on the west side of Lishui, Ma Chengcheng, the commander of the infantry army, and several other generals were discussing military affairs, and the one they were about to face was the first-class fierce general of the Tang State, Runzhou Lin Renzhao, and now Lin Renzhao also had many fierce generals under his account, although the number was only 50,000, and they were all elite forces, which made Ma Chengxin dare not take it lightly.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound in the whole army
It turned out that Lin Jingcheng, the general under Lin Renzhao, had already led a part of the cavalry to harass him in his rear camp.
Ma Chengcheng asked, "Ma Chunhui, how many people are there on the other side?" ”
"This ......" Ma Chunhui thought about it in his heart, and suddenly said, "The other party is expected to have a maximum of six thousand people, but it can accurately touch our rear camp in the night, which makes the last general feel suspicious." ”
Ma Chengcheng said: "The generals under Lin Renzhao should not be underestimated, today they attacked our rear camp, it is just to startle the grass and snakes, it is estimated that they will leave after harassing for a while, you and send someone to see the grain and grass in the rear camp, to see if they are comprehensive?" ”
"Yes, General." Ma Chunhui turned around and retreated outside the military tent.
"It's snowing heavily tonight, all the patrol camps must be taken care of, everything is going on, report it to me immediately, although I don't know what the hell is going on behind Lin Renzhao, but you have to be calm when you meet Lin Renzhao, this guy is not something to mess with." Ma Chengcheng said to the rest of the generals in the military tent that Ma Chengcheng had suffered a little at the hands of Lin Renzhao, and he had always been very vigilant and careful with Lin Renzhao.
"Yes."
……
Lin Jingcheng, that is, the elder brother of Jingzhou's deputy general Lin Jingmen (mentioned earlier).
At this moment, on the southeast side outside Jurong City, Lin Jingcheng led his five thousand men and horses to make a detour here.
The wind and snow blew mercilessly on their faces,
The Ma Chengjun camp on the west side of Jurong was suddenly exposed in front of them, and Lin Jingcheng estimated that it was about five miles long.
Lin Jingcheng rode on his horse and smiled arrogantly, "This is Ma Chengcheng's camp, it's a pity that such a good general, but since we are here today, don't go home empty-handed." ”
"Will Lin Ya be this?" The soldiers beside them didn't know what they were going to do next, whether they were going to attack the camp directly.
"The heavy snow burned down the five-mile camp on a night of fire." Lin Jingcheng sneered.
"Five miles? This...... I don't know what to do with my teeth? "The fire burned for five miles, and their teeth were quite angry, but how to implement it, these soldiers were waiting for Lin Jingcheng to speak.
"Before we set off, the military advisor brought us some secret weapons." Lin Jingcheng took out an object from a bag tied to his horse. This thing was dark all over, Lin Jingcheng picked it up and sniffed it, full of sulfur smell.
"Before this thing set off, the military division had practiced it once, as long as it was lit with fire, it was quickly thrown at the other party, like thunder, and it was more useful than fire attack." Lin Jingcheng smiled and put this thing in front of everyone.
"Isn't this a thing used by Fang Shi for alchemy, I have seen those countries in the north use it." An older general said, he is a northerner, naturally accustomed to seeing this thing, this thing is also called thunderbolt pill, as soon as it encounters an open flame, it will ignite, Zhu Wen used it in the army back then, and it is said that this thing has been frequently used in the Song Kingdom.
Lin Jingcheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know the origin of this, but it's very convenient to use, just do what I say later, and rely on it to hurt a single hair of the horse integrity camp tonight." ”
"Driving-" Lin Jingcheng shouted, and the war horse under his crotch continued to gallop again, and at this moment he was already approaching the camp on the west side of Lishui, and the soldiers behind him also followed closely.
It's just that to Lin Jingcheng's surprise, Ma Chengcheng's camp is very vigilant tonight, it seems that he has found his own men and horses, and there are already people patrolling in front of the camp.
"Stop, everyone, and take that thing out of your pocket the way I did." Lin Jingcheng held the fireball ball in his hand, and immediately took out the fire fold and lit it on the lead.
Lin Jingcheng threw it out at once, smashing it into a tent in the distance.
The soldiers did the same, and one by one the fireballs were ignited, and then countless shiny fireballs smoked and were thrown into the distance.
"Throw it away, everyone retreat." Lin Jingcheng understood the effective damage range of this thing, and for the safety of his subordinates, he immediately gave an order, immediately turned the horse's head, and the sound of the horse's hooves withdrew in an instant.
"Puff puff—"
"Boom, boom—"
"Puff puff—"
"Boom, boom—"
A fireball is not very powerful, dozens of hundreds, thousands, that will cause a large panic, at this moment the enemy camp of the earth is trembling, following those fireballs, dozens of camp tents suddenly burst on fire, the ground is also brought up, and the snowflakes flying in the sky are just a supporting role for polishing.
A fire had broken out in the corner of the camp not far away, and at this moment, many soldiers who were patrolling the night had also rushed out of the Ma Chengcheng camp and rushed out from all directions.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack-" Many soldiers rushed out from all directions, they held weapons in their hands, and at the same time, some soldiers carried wooden barrels in their hands, bringing water from the Qinhuai River to douse the burning tents.
"Chase-" The rest of the soldiers led their subordinates to chase after Lin Renzhao's army, which was attacked by the enemy tonight.
"Don't chase it, this is the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it's getting late today, and it's snowing heavily, why don't we go back and count the casualties and sort out the camp." The general immediately stopped his subordinates from chasing and intercepting, because he didn't know what the other party would do in the middle of the road, and the small black sphere had already caused such a danger to this big building.
There are murderous opportunities everywhere, let alone night.
The internal turmoil in Ma Chengcheng's camp has become a pot of porridge, and some of them don't write about themselves.
……
In the night, the tooth general Lin Jingcheng had already led five thousand men and horses into the dense forest, and the wind and snow had ruthlessly left a mark in this world.
"Tooth General, tonight is really happy for the brothers, I haven't been so happy for a long time."
Lin Jingcheng asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”
"Back to the tooth general, there are no casualties on our side, fortunately the tooth general withdrew in advance, so we were really scared to death, otherwise I don't know how much damage that thing caused to us."
"That's right, don't take this thing lightly, you know it tonight." Lin Jingcheng immediately thought about it, and ordered again, "It's so late, go back to our army's camp tonight, there is still a big battle to fight tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Tooth General." There was still a hint of fear in their hearts.
Lin Jingcheng in the forest rested for a moment, and immediately returned to the long road, splashing the mud and snowflakes on the side, and soon after, the heavy snow covered the horseshoe prints again, and everything returned to calm, only the Ma Chengcheng camp on the west side of Jurong stayed awake all night to sort out the casualties.
