Chapter 14 Sending Troops (5) Seeking Collection
Under the cover of night, there was a strange situation, and the three forces of the People's Army, the City Guards, and the horse bandits were fighting and fighting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Protector Army broke through and was intercepted by horse bandits, and the city guards wanted to go back to the city to join forces for help, but were chased and killed by Zheng Gao with a hundred horse bandits.
As the two groups drew closer, the bandits were surprised to find that they were surrounded, even though both armies thought they were breaking through.
"Bell Bell Bell ~~"
The crisp sound of the golden gong echoed in the chaotic battlefield, and the horse bandits quickly withdrew from the battlefield when they heard the sound of gold, while the Conservative Army rushed out of the city to prepare for a strategic shift.
"Uncle Tao, Lao Tian, what kind of routine did you two say this is, why did the horse bandits suddenly retreat?"
Although Zhao Zheng has read a lot of military books and learned some war knowledge under the influence of modern society, he still has to ask the experienced Tao Yuan and Tian ten acres when he understands one line and knows one line at a time.
The two were also puzzled, their own side was on the verge of collapse, why did the horse bandits collect their troops in battle, could it be said that there were reinforcements coming over.
"I don't know what the horse bandit means by this move, but looking at this situation, it's better to leave and go to Dongjun this morning to make plans?"
Gucheng is a subordinate of Dongjun, and it is only three hundred miles away from there, and it will be there in two days according to the marching speed of the Baomin Army.
Facing a dead end for the first time, Zhao Zheng didn't dare to be careless, nodded and agreed to Tian Shimu's proposal to lead the army to the south of the city, but there were footsteps ahead.
"Oops, this is a trick to get away with it, I'm afraid we're going to die here."
Zhao Zheng dismounted gloomily, and the first time he took charge of the army, he ended up in a dead and defeated army, and he didn't know for a while that his self-healing ability could withstand several waves of swords and slashes, but his brothers were afraid that they would die.
"People die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, and the brothers will follow labor and capital~Ah", the fish head spat out a mouthful of spit, and there was a trace of blood red inside. He shouted and rushed forward with his sword, and the soldiers were also greatly infected, and rushed forward with shouts.
But I heard: "The general is so good, General Zhao saved us, and there was a burst of cheers from the other party." "Zhao Zheng was dizzy for a while, and often said that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and today I see that the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. Why did Ji rush back, could it be that he shared the spoils unevenly with the horse bandits and was defeated to seek his own support.
Don't care about those, Zhao Zheng urged him to step forward, Jing Ke followed closely, and when he set out on the expedition, the prince and Yihou Qian told him that anyone with five hundred soldiers could die, but Zhao Zheng had to come back alive. Therefore, although he wanted to get off the horse and fight, he gave up again and again in order to protect Zhao Zheng.
"Straight thief, dare to betray us!"
A team of four horsemen appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, it was Ji Chong and a few guards, Ji Chong looked slightly better, and the others were injured everywhere. Seeing this, Zhao Zheng didn't quite believe that Ji Chong conspired with the horse bandits to betray him, so he stepped forward to stop the fish head.
"Whoosh~"
A crossbow bolt burst through the air and hit Ji Chong's mount's head, instantly flipping him to the ground. Zhao Zheng looked back and saw that Yingbu was shooting the second arrow on the winding, and hurriedly stopped: "Xiaobu stop, don't hurt General Ji Chong." ”
Yingbu's stiff face twitched, and he stopped and returned to the back team.
Ji Chong got up from the ground in shame, thinking that he had put Zhao Zheng in danger for the sake of fame and fortune, but when the incident happened, Zhao Zheng went out of the east gate and headed south, and he could still think of rescuing himself at the first time, which made Ji Chong embarrassed.
"Ji Chong is ashamed of General Zhao, and he is willing to die to kill General Xie regardless of his previous suspicions, but his subordinates are not guilty, and I hope that General Nian will take them back on the feelings of his fellow villagers." Ji Chong knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and choked up.
Several officers behind him also bowed their heads and knelt down, all saying that they were willing to apologize with death and let Zhao Zhengdai return to their hometown.
Zhao Zheng was stunned, and then thought about everything, it turned out that he broke through by mistake and was rescued by Ji Chong, and this oolong made a really good fuss.
"Brother Ji Chong, please get up, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, but I don't know how many ambushes there are horse bandits?"
Ji Chong, who was helped up by Zhao Zheng, was completely convinced, and Zhao Zheng really knew that the soldiers had the bearing as Yi Hou said, and he should be the one who will manipulate the situation in the future.
Ji Chong said: "I am incompetent, I can't see through Zheng Gao's villainous tricks, and I will be separated openly and secretly." Just now, that guy tricked me out of the city and said that he would kill me when the Protector Army and the horse bandits were both defeated, but unexpectedly, there was also a horse bandit in the south of the city who ambushed me and killed me. My brothers risked their lives to save me, and they died to atone for their sins. ”
Zhao Zheng resisted the urge to draw his sword, and calmly listened to Ji Chong's narration, but he couldn't imagine that this person would put his allies to death because of the battle of will, and he still wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But at this time, the horse bandits looked around like a pack of wolves, and another strife would only hasten their own death.
"It's all Zheng Gao's villain's tricks, what is Brother Ji Chong's crime, the top priority is to go back to the city and defend it, and strive for a glimmer of life."
The road to Dongjun was cut off, and in this case, Zhao Zheng did not dare to break through rashly, and the horse bandits obviously used their soldiers to block all possible escape routes. As for Mingjin's move to withdraw troops, Zhao Zheng felt that the other party was a soldier who wanted to surrender without a fight, and closed his side until he ran out of ammunition and food.
But this is still the only way out for his own life, he has to drill according to the set designed by others, Zhao Zheng felt frustrated for the first time, he really can't underestimate the ancients, thinking that he can play the ancient times after reading the military book for a few years and finishing a few military strategy games, he is simply looking for death.
Back in the city, Zhao Zheng privately told Tao Yuan that the unified voice insisted that the Protector Army broke through to rescue the missing city guards. In this way, at least let the city guards feel a little guilty and grateful to themselves, not to mention being united with Germany in the next bloody battle, at least don't pull back.
Gathered in the lobby of a dilapidated family, Zhao Zheng laid out a general situation map with a few stones and asked, "Old Tang, how many men and horses are left in the city guards now, and how many are slightly injured and seriously injured?" ”
"Returning to the general, there are now 257 people in the city guard, 20 are lightly wounded, 5 are seriously wounded, and the rest are probably killed or missing."
Because Captain Chi protected Ji Chong and died in battle, Ji Chong was ashamed to take charge of the army again and surrender himself to a soldier, Tang Kun was temporarily appointed by Zhao Zheng as the captain of the city guard. And he himself became the only commander of the two armies, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it is said that it is a blessing for Zheng Gao.
Led a hundred horse bandits to inflict heavy losses on the city guards, and burned all the grain and grass in the camp of the city guards in Gucheng, it is said that this anti-bandit is half the success, but Zheng Gao was not happy at this time, he stayed in Ma Laoliu's handsome tent, and he couldn't accept all this for a long time.
Ma Lao Liu glared at him angrily and said, "Great hero, haven't you figured it out, we only have eight hundred brothers, and because of you, we have lost more than two hundred."
Moreover, Zhao Zheng's People's Army and Ji Chong's City Guards finally joined forces because of your interception, and they will also release their previous suspicions, and they must be ironclad now.
The plan I worked so hard to make to take advantage of the discord between the two armies and take the opportunity to annihilate them one by one is completely ruined, because you are in vain. ”
The total number of eight horse thieves is not less than 5,000, and a reorganized Zhonglang general, but it is such a coincidence that 4,000 of them were taken away by the horse boss. There are only less than 1,000 left for Ma Lao Liu to guard the cottage, and it is really fate, and the 800 people have lost 200 by accident, and the strength of the two sides is still evenly matched.
Zheng Gao said: "The sixth master doesn't need to be sarcastic about Zheng Gao, this time it is all my responsibility, and I will definitely bear it in front of the Lord in the future." Today's plan should be that we sincerely unite and work together to deal with Zhao Zhengji Chong. ”
Someone has taken the responsibility, but the cottage is out of soldiers, Ma Lao Liu is not in the mood to listen to Zheng Gao's words, and now what he wants is to let Hua Nu formulate a new strategy to keep the cottage, otherwise the cottage will not be lost without the master's action, and the boss will have to kill him.
"Don't say these useless words, now I have to go back to the cottage immediately, and you can go back with you, otherwise let Zhao Zheng fight again, you are messing around, and as soon as the cottage army is empty, we will be completely finished."
"Then if the troops are withdrawn, won't it also attract Zhao Zheng's attention, and let him send troops to attack the cottage?"
Zheng Gao still felt that he should take advantage of this opportunity for Zhao Zheng to fight hard, and the soldiers would definitely collapse in a desperate situation, and he took a hundred horse bandits to slash and kill two hundred city guards.
But Ma Lao Liu didn't buy his account at all, and said with a blank look: "You should be the protector of the people's army and the city guards, the seven-foot-long knife array, and the spear of Zhangyu can make the brothers suffer a big loss."
And at this time, we retreated, and Zhao Zheng did not dare to pursue, but it might make him think that we had slackened and fled from the fortified city, and when he reacted, we had already defended the walled city as solid as gold, and we were no longer afraid of losing it. ”
So when Zhao Zheng was urgently controlling the grain in Gucheng and preparing to deal with the strong attack of the horse bandits, Ma Lao Liu quietly retreated. Afterwards, Zhao Zheng thought back on the incident, and couldn't help but smile bitterly that he had also fallen for a while.
