Chapter 123: Delay and stalemate
Lao Cheng only said yes, and sent me away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Away from the labor award, the labor merchant couldn't help but praise: "It's another great achievement." ”
Khan Jinzhong also echoed on the side: "The battalion leader is brave and strategic, and if the command is determined, it is really a stroke of genius, and he can be captured." ”
"Since it is a great achievement, I hope you will go to ask for merit and reward as soon as possible, there is not much food in the camp, if there is no food supply, I am afraid that these soldiers will have to rebel at that time." I said angrily.
"Although don't worry, this prison army will ask Gongzi for merit and reward, which can be credited to this prison army." The laborer said proudly, completely forgetting the bloody scene just now, he is worthy of being a natural superior, and he has a natural resistance to blood.
Stationed in the tent set up by the White Turban Army, I summoned the generals above the general flag to study the problem of stationing and arming, the canyon camp has advantages and disadvantages, the city wall has not been built yet, it is simply a Jedi, this unstrategic labor award is stupidly stationed here, burying himself, if he is not stationed here, he can't win, he can still run, this is good, he has no way back.
Once the defenders of Nanwang County knew that their 1,000 soldiers had been killed, they would definitely be very shocked, and they would inevitably send more soldiers to encircle and suppress them.
I have always pooled wisdom and carried forward the good style of speaking together, hoping that they would speak enthusiastically and put forward good suggestions for my reference.
After a moment of silence, he kicked the ball back for me, and it seemed that the trust in me had reached a point where no more could be done, should I be happy or sad, I really want to say that I need a counselor.
Not long after we left the canyon camp, the dispatch order of Donghai City also came, as I expected, the content of the dispatch was to order the conscription army to immediately pull out the camp to support Donghai City, in the past, because of the time difference, you can pretend not to know the dispatch and do your own thing, now that you know the order, if you still disobey, it will not be said, and the labor and business will not allow it, therefore, the big guys know that the inevitable result is to support Donghai City, join the defenders, and be cannon fodder.
Attacking Hail County is also a kind of support for Donghai City, but it is best to get the approval of the county Sima, and if you want to fight, you have to fight it in one go, if you disobey the order but do not capture it, the merits and demerits will not be comparable, and you will be in trouble after all.
Because of the successful sneak attack on grain and grass, and the encirclement and annihilation of a group of sergeants of the White Turban Army, it is no problem to delay for a while, even if Lao Zhang is dissatisfied, it can't be good.
The meeting did not discuss the results, I can only put it for the time being, but the mood is quite irritable, I called Huo Baimo to the camp tent, and asked some detailed questions, such as the question of whether the rice in the Huoyue camp has been damaged, fortunately, few people in the White Turban Army know and think it is grass, so the rice is safe and sound.
The cemetery of the Fire Moon Camp was not damaged by man, although the White Turbans occupied the Fire Moon Camp at that time and visited the cemetery on a large scale, but when they left, they set fire to the horse fence and all the debris there, which comforted my compassion a little.
asked some information, and everything I wanted to know was clear, and in the end, I arranged for Huo Baimo to go to the Fire Mountain to assist him in reconnoitring the cavalry, and for the time being, he would not go back to the camp of Jidongguan, and arranged for someone to report the news.
The merchant came to see me, and said that the document had been written, and that after asking for my consent, he could send a messenger to Donghai City, and I read the paperwork, and although the writing was good, it could not be compared to the clerk I had recently found, and I was very proud of it, and felt that I had found a usable talent.
There is nothing that needs to be modified, the labor and businessmen seem to be particularly handy in doing this, all aspects are covered, everything that should be written is written, not a word is not mentioned, and the sycophants that should be filmed are patted, I have no objection, but I have made adjustments in the arrangement of the messenger, and two more sergeants have been sent to Donghai City in disguise as civilians.
Although the east and north gates of Donghai City were not attacked, it is presumable that the White Turbans must have arranged spare men in secret places to capture the messengers entering and leaving, so it is better to be cautious.
That night, I thought about it a lot, and decided to repair in the canyon camp for two days, and if there was no accident after two days, I would pull out the camp and march to Donghai City.
Now it's a bit troublesome about how the captives should be placed, the most simple way is to cut off all their heads, or kill them in a pit, but I can't give this order, if someone gives an order on my behalf, I will turn a blind eye, but unfortunately no one oversteps the order, so I can only divide and disintegrate, and slowly brainwash, I handed over this task to our deputy battalion leader.
……
There is also a bloody smell in the air, inhaling it from time to time, standing on the city wall, you can clearly see the red and irregular blood stains on the ground, everywhere, some of them are large and scary, you can imagine what kind of battle took place here.
The walls were no exception, there were blood stains everywhere, and when you approached some of them, a strong fishy smell immediately penetrated into your nostrils, making you feel like vomiting, and the ongoing effects of the war still did not subside.
Under the city, everything that can be taken away has been dragged away by the White Turban Army, except for the giant battering ram rushing car, if it weren't for the sergeants in the city shooting arrows to stop them from approaching, presumably the sergeants of the White Turban Army would also take advantage of the night to get it away, such a giant battering ram is not so easy to make, but unfortunately there is not much fire oil in the city, otherwise, it will be burned to the point that there is no insurance left.
The siege battle two days ago went from fierce to tragic, and after three hours, the White Turban Army lost nearly 1,000 people under the city, ending in failure, and of course, the soldiers of Donghai County who defended the city also suffered heavy casualties. This time, the preparation of the White Turban Army was much more sufficient than the previous times, and forty siege ladders were prepared in one go, each of which was guarded by fifty White Turban Army sergeants, lined up on the West Gate City Wall, and strongly attacked the city.
The white turban soldiers at the west gate were unusually brave and not afraid of death, and the overall strength was relatively strong, otherwise they would not have almost lost the city gate. Lao Zhang was well aware of the situation at the West Gate, so he promised benefits to Langshan County and asked Qiao Tianmu to send troops to assist in the defense of the West Gate, rather than just focusing on the South Gate.
With the benefits, Qiao Tianmu didn't shirk much, and happily agreed, which saved Lao Zhang a lot of trouble, the main thing is how to raise the benefits that were promised, Lao Zhang can't get the extra money and food, and there is only one way to come up, in the rich and noble families in Donghai City.
The sunlight has dimmed, and it is a little bit before dusk, maybe the sun is covered by clouds, or blocked by high-rise buildings, when the smoke flies, Lao Zhang remembers that the sun is sprinkled in the courtyard, and the flowers and plants are bright, and he doesn't know how long it has been, but he has been waiting for a long time.
Lao Zhang shook his head that was not fully awake, stood up, and immediately a maid handed over a wet towel, Lao Zhang took it and wiped his face, and threw it to the maid, and there was a slave waiting at the door with his head bowed, Lao Zhang said: "Go and call the lord of Lao County, Bo to come to the pavilion." ”
Lao Zhang walked towards the corridor, through the garden, along the rockery path, to a pavilion, when Lao Zhang sat down for a short time, two maids came over on the path, holding a fruit bowl and wine bottle, and when the maid visited the things in his hand, Lao Yanfei and Lao Ye also appeared on the trail and walked over quickly.
"Young master." Lao Yanfei shouted respectfully.
"Young master." Since Lao Zhang became the county Sima, Lao Ye couldn't help but feel a little urgent every time he saw Lao Zhang, as the so-called lord and courtier, he was worried that his fate would soon be the same as Lao Xinde, he used to think that he would not be greedy for the powerful, but now he thinks he is wrong.
Lao Zhang said expressionlessly: "I have a clear understanding of the general situation, you are just bewitched by Lao Xinde, the main responsibility is not you, because it is excusable that it has not disturbed the morale of the army, I can not pursue it further, but you have to do something for me." ”
Lao Zhang stopped, looked at Lao Yanfei and Lao Ye, and wanted to consider the words from the faces of the two old foxes.
Lao Yanfei said lightly: "Young master, please speak." ”
