Chapter 204: Ambush
Wang Huaqiang sighed in his heart, this captive policy was secretly discussed with Yang Su that day, and now Yang Su talked and laughed and let Huang Fuji take the initiative to implement this policy, and those captives who thought they had picked up a life would naturally be grateful to Yang Su, and his method of controlling people's hearts was really wonderful.
Just thinking about it, Wang Huaqiang heard Yang Su calling himself: "Wang joins the army, you have passed on information, made suggestions, and made great achievements in this battle, our army is about to set off to pursue the remnants of Gu Ziyuan, do you want to stay in Suzhou or set off with our large army?" ”
Wang Huaqiang thought to himself: Isn't this nonsense, there is still a fart military merit in Suzhou, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and he came to earn merit and be promoted, since he has already shown his head, let people like Shi Wansui and Lai Hu'er see that they are unhappy, then simply continue to be in the limelight all the way, as long as they don't make their own decisions, whether it is Yang Su or Gao Xi, they can't hack their own merits.
Wang Huaqiang's heart was just a flash of thought, but he stood up in line and arched his hand: "Dashuai, this is the case, the last general is willing to follow Dashuai and continue to march east to quell the rebellion." ”
Yang Su nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, with the help of the king joining the army, it must be much easier to quell the rebellion, come to the general, you work hard, lead the headquarters of three thousand light cavalry to set off now, pursue the rebels in the direction of Songjiang, you must catch the enemy's division, but also capture Songjiang City, pay attention, if the fighter is not good, do not rush to war, especially be careful of the enemy's ambush using the nearby terrain." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a military order and handed it to Laihu'er.
Laihu'er did not grab the first echelon in today's war, so that Shi Wansui won most of the military merits, although he also won more than 2,000 heads. But it didn't live up to his expectations. I have been secretly scolding Yang Su in my heart, although he let him take the lead in the first few battles. But the most critical battle of Suzhou still gave the first credit to his descendant Shi Long live.
But as soon as Laihu'er heard that Yang Su had now handed over the task of pursuit to herself, she was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Order!" He stepped forward to take over Yang Su's military order, turned around, and walked out of the tent with high spirits.
Yang Su glanced at the direction where Laihu'er was going, and groaned slightly. Said to Wang Huaqiang: "Wang joins the army, please bring a thousand cavalry to follow behind the general, in response, my army ran more than 80 miles today, plus a fight for an afternoon, now you need to rest, I don't know if General Huangfu can borrow a thousand light cavalry for Wang to use in the army?" ”
Huang Fuji had just received a benefit from Yang Su, so how could he refuse at this time, and said with a smile: "I am so happy." ”
He turned his head to the tent and shouted: "Feng Xiaoci, the governor of the tent, Liu Quan listens to the order!"
Soon. Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan both ran into the tent, and their current military positions could not be discussed in this handsome tent where senior generals gathered. It was the herald who called them over.
Huang Fuji said in a deep voice: "With the two of you, lead 500 people from each of the subordinates, ride on war horses, led by Wang Senjun, and set off immediately to meet the general's headquarters in the direction of Songjiang." ”
Feng Xiaoci's face was overjoyed, and he was about to agree, but Liu Quan said: "General Hui, in today's battle, seven archers of our department were killed, and about 20 people were injured and unable to ride horses, and now there are less than 500. ”
Huang Fuji nodded: "The lack of people is made up from my thousand guards, the military situation is urgent, you should hurry up, remember, this time it is Wang who joins the army to lead the team, and everyone on the road is under his command, there must be no mistake!"
Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan turned around to leave, but Wang Huaqiang opened his mouth and asked, "Marshal, may I ask the last general just to follow the general all the way, do you think you will respond?" If you come across a general to fight, will the general join in? ”
Yang Su said in a deep voice: "Wang joins the army, Ben Shuai said it clearly, it is to respond, if the general is ambushed and encounters danger and falls into a bitter battle, you have to break the siege and rescue him, if he is chasing and fleeing the enemy, you don't go up, Ben Shuai said this, you understand." ”
Wang Huaqiang was thinking about this problem just now, seeing that Laihu'er left in a hurry, Yang Su was worried that he would be too excited and fell into the enemy's ambush, so he let himself lead the troops to respond, and the generals in the tent are afraid that no one is willing to give Hu'er a hand like this.
Feng Xiaoci is very energetic, and he doesn't seem to understand the truth, and Liu Quan just used the excuse that there are casualties in his department, and it is clear that he wants to get rid of this thankless errand, although he has not been with Feng and Liu for too long in Suzhou, he can also feel that Liu Quan is obviously older, and Feng Xiaoci is a fierce general who is enthusiastic and good at fighting, but it is a pity that his brain is missing a string.
Wang Huaqiang thought about it, while going to Yang Su to receive the military order, saluting and saying goodbye, after leaving the account, Wang Huaqiang directly rode his green zebra, took Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan to order a thousand subordinates, lit torches, and rushed all the way to the direction of the departure of the Lai Nursery Department that had set off eastward half an hour ago.
After two hours, the corpses that died on both sides of the road and were cut off were all dressed in rebel clothes, but there were no obvious traces of a big battle.
But Wang Huaqiang had a faint uneasiness in his heart, the troops who came to Hu'er chased down all the way, and the enemy stragglers killed were about two or three hundred, but the main force of the enemy army should be about 20,000, and only these people ran away, which was not very scientific, the road was becoming narrower and narrower, and there were many woodlands and hills, which was not too conducive to cavalry raids, and the enemy army had that mysterious dog-headed military division, in case of an ambush, the lone army might run into trouble.
Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang's heart sank suddenly, and he said to Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan beside him: "Order the whole army, advance at a medium speed, each person light two torches, prepare more troops, and prepare for battle." ”
Feng Xiaoci asked with some puzzlement: "When Wang joins the army, will there be a battle?" Our task is only to answer the general, and look at the frame along the way, as if the enemy army has been defeated, and the general is chasing and killing all the way. ”
Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "Only a few hundred people died along the way, and there seems to be no corpse in the previous section, this is not normal, we must be prepared, two torches per person can confuse the enemy army and exaggerate the number of our army." It's night now, and if you really want to see the general being besieged for a while, Feng Dudu led five hundred iron cavalry to charge into battle, while Liu Dudu made a lot of strides and strengthened his momentum in the back, thinking that he was suspicious. ”
Feng Xiaoci took the order to go, and Wang Huaqiang took Liu Quan to ride forward for a distance, came to the front of the team, and then took off the conspicuous general's cloak, changed into leather armor, mixed himself with ordinary soldiers, and also lit two torches and followed the team forward.
After walking forward for more than an hour, walking out for more than 30 miles, I saw a dense forest in front of me, in which there were constant shouts of killing, and outside the woods, many rebel corpses were killed, and there were also more than a dozen Sui cavalry and dead horses lying on both sides of the road into the forest.
Wang Huaqiang secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, the rebels set up an ambush in this wood, this kind of terrain can weaken the cavalry advantage of the Sui army to the greatest extent, and it is the best ambush terrain. He turned his head to Liu Quan and Feng Xiaoci beside him and shouted, "Governor Liu, Governor Feng, act according to our plan!" Feng Dudu, order your soldiers to dismount and fight on foot, put the war horses directly in and run around, and disrupt the formation of the enemy army!"
Feng Xiaoci saw that there was a battle, his eyes immediately lit up, he picked up his long-handled broadsword, and laughed: "Brothers, there is someone whose head can be harvested, rush with me!" As he spoke, he whipped his horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed and ran into the woods, and the other soldiers followed suit, extinguishing their torches, and rushing their horses into the woods first, and then picking up their horses, forming a dense formation, and advancing into the woods.
Liu Quan led the rest of his subordinates, desperately beating the war drums, and those soldiers who did not play the drums continued to hold a torch, jumping around outside the woods on horseback, roaring with the loudest voice, if you look at it from a distance in the forest, the five hundred cavalry outside who are desperately tossing and turning, it seems that there are at least three or four thousand people.
