Chapter 110: Avoiding Reality and Fiction
Hao Shisan returned to the military camp in Hanshan from Chaohu, and the first thing he did was to discuss letting Mao Gui and Li Pusheng join forces to fight Chao County.
Mao Gui is very commander-in-chief and has a strong sense of the overall situation. Anyway, the soldiers were under Hanshan City, and there was no chance to break the enemy, so he received two thousand new recruits from Hao Thirteen, so Mao Gui didn't say a word, led five thousand pikes, and rushed to join forces with Li Pusheng to fight Chao County overnight.
Hao 13 waited to see Timur's next reaction, and in the corresponding countermeasures at the top, his army was not idle, and stepped up the attack on Hanshan City.
Hanshan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Hao Shisan's troops are scattered out of 5,000, it is no longer possible to break Hanshan, but he does it to make a posture that is bound to win.
Pressed all the soldiers under a wall of Hanshan, attacked the city wall with a platoon of cannons, and then, in front of the army formation, dug a trench to besiege the city. In less than two days, outside Hanshan City, two three zhang wide inside and outside were dug out. A trench one zhang deep surrounded Hanshan City tightly.
"Boss, Timur from Hezhou has already left Benchao County with 20,000 troops!" The sentinel sent by Zhang Poyu, a thousand households of the Chinese army, fed back the news to Zhang Poyu, and Zhang Poyu reported it to Hao Shisan.
"Great, tonight we will go to attack Hezhou City!" When Hao 13 heard the news, he was overjoyed.
So here's the problem. It is very risky to bypass the fortified city and attack the enemy's rear, it is impossible for all the troops to attack Hezhou City, and it is necessary to leave an army in Hanshan to contain the enemy army. The burden of containing the enemy naturally fell on Sun Deya's Haozhou army.
People are old ghosts, and trees are old spirits. Sun Deya is old and cunning, Hao Shisan knows that he can't do anything, and the combat effectiveness of the army is relatively weak, so taking him to Hezhou may not be enough to succeed and more than to lose.
Sun Deya's original intention was just to eat and wander, if there is a cheap, he will get a little, and if he is not cheap, he will eat Hao Shisan's military food for nothing, and he will unite with Hao Shisan, Guo Zixing does not dare to beat him. When he heard that Hao Shisan was going to leave him in Hanshan, Sun Deya's eyes turned green.
"No, no, I have 10,000 people, and for 60,000, doesn't the governor let my grandson die?" Sun Deya's head shook like a rattle, and he quickly refused.
Hao Shisan comforted: "I'm not asking you to fight hard with 'Tripping Horse', Tripping Horse doesn't know that I have left Hanshan, you just need to restrain him for a day to two days like when I was here, at that time, I have already occupied Hanshan!" ”
"How can my grandson have that ability!" Sun Deya refused.
Hao 13 persuaded earnestly: "I only took ten cannons to go, and the remaining eighty cannons and catapults together with the thousands of baggage households of my governor's mansion are all left to you, you only put out ten cannons every day for feints, and the rest are ambushed in the back camp, even if you are seen through by moving horses, you can also rely on the camp to hold on for ten days and twenty days, at that time, I personally led the army to the rescue!" ”
Sun Deya is a hundred unwilling, but Hao Shisan's food is not eaten for nothing, Hao Shisan covers him, Guo Zixing does not dare to beat him, if he wants to tear his face with Hao Shisan, Guo Zixing or Hao Shisan, whoever turns his face and beats him, he doesn't even have a city, and he can't resist it at all.
"Haha!" Sun Deya smiled and said: "Don't worry, the governor will leave this matter to my grandson, and the governor can rest assured." "He knew that he couldn't refuse Hao Thirteen, but Hao Thirteen threw the baggage to him, this is cheap, 'if you don't take advantage of it, the heavens will be destroyed', and he already has other plans.
――――――――――――――
On the official road under Hezhou City, seven or eight carriages, under the escort of a team of 300 Mengyuan officers and soldiers, waving the eight-sided sun flag, surrounded this senior general of Mengyuan, walked leisurely towards the gate of Hezhou City.
The general of Mengyuan, dressed in purple quality clothes, is a first-class member of the imperial court, and his status is second to prominent. He had bronzed skin and a stuffed beard. A guard Qianhu on the left, his face was as black as an iron pot, and a guard Qianhu on the right, his face was as red as coals, swaggering into Hezhou City, and was stopped by the guarding Yuan army.
Seeing that the city gate was closed, the black-faced Qianhu struck his horse forward, and shouted at the city gate: "The military leader who guards the gate of Wuna, hurry up and open the city gate, and the people of Pingzhang Hama in the middle book come to read the emperor's holy decree, and hurry up and tell the provincial Pingzhang to go out of the city to pick up Timur first!" ”
The head of the gatekeeper on the city gate poked out his head, looked carefully, and said loudly: "Now that the red turban thieves are attacking Hanshan and Chaoxian, the soldiers such as the ransom me can't call the shots, please wait a while!" ”
The head of the army defending the city also generally reported to his leading Qianhu official Ma Shouren, Ma Shouren Qianhu did not dare to slack off, hurriedly came to the city, secretly looked at it for a long time, did not see any clues, and asked loudly: "Please **** envoy atonement, now the thieves have blocked the connection with Dadu on the road to the state, Lord Pingzhang of Zhongshu, how to pass through the enemy-occupied area and come from the north?" ”
Hezhou came a month ago to read the holy decree of the deputy history of the supervision, because the road traffic is not safe, everywhere there are red turban troops, the last time from the Yuan capital came from the coast by boat, take the Yangtze River to Hezhou, the status of the Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province, is much higher than the status of the deputy history of the supervision, how can you venture from the land?
Lord Hama, who heard this, was furious, and roared at the head of the city in the official dialect of the north, which frightened Lord Ma Shouren and his thousand households.
If the person who comes is really a member of the imperial court, it is not that he Ma Shouren can afford to offend a small thousand household officials. What if the person who comes is false? Opening a city gate is a matter of peace and state safety, and Ma Shouren does not dare to be careless. On the issue of whether to open the city gate or not, Ma Shouren hesitated.
The black-faced Qianhu official shouted arrogantly to the castle: "Didn't you hear that our Lord Pingzhang was angry? Hurry up and open the gates, you have a few heads on your head. ”
It's okay that this black-faced Qianhu didn't speak, but when he spoke, it attracted Ma Shouren's attention. Ma Shouren felt familiar with this voice, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Ma Shouren's original attention was only on Lord Hama's body, and he didn't notice this black-faced man, he looked carefully at the black-faced man in front of him, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Chuzhou, he used to fight with the Red Turban Army, and this black-faced man was not the pioneer of the Red Turban Army when he fought Chuzhou, Hu Dahai?
I was almost tricked into opening the city gates!
Ma Shouren didn't break it either, and said with a smile: "Lord Pingzhang of Zhongshu is angry, how many heads does the villain dare not open the city gate?" But I asked this Hu Dahai, aren't you the vanguard of the Chuzhou Red Turban Army? When did you submit to the imperial court? ”
"Hey! It's a long story-" Hu Dahai was still smug, thinking that he had met an acquaintance. Xin Dao said, "Isn't it, it used to be the thousand strikers of the Chuzhou Red Turban Army, isn't this a reason, but now it has changed its door and returned to the Shun Qingfeng Red Turban Army." There is no matter of returning to the imperial court! He thought about it, no, this grandson has something to say.
Before Hu Dahai could react, Ma Shouren snorted coldly: "They are fake, give me arrows!" ”
After that, the feathered arrows on the head of the city fell like flying locusts, and in an instant a dozen or so people were shot to the ground.
The friendship who played the role of the imperial court official Hama was none other than Yu Tonghai, who was a guest in Qingfeng Army. The two thousand-household officials are specially starred by Geng Zaicheng and Hu Dahai, who can be regarded as acting as officers, but they are wearing official and military costumes.
Seeing that the deception was discovered, Hu Dahai hurriedly picked up the shield behind him, ran back with the shield and hit the horse, shouting while running: "Run!" Run! ”
Ma Shouren looked at the embarrassed Hu Dahai and laughed. Last time in Chuzhou, Hu Dahai beat him like this, and now it is time for Hu Dahai to escape.
However, the three hundred soldiers did not mess up or run, but raised their shields to form a shield array, and conjured five cannons from the carriage like a trick, and set fire to the city gates.
At such a close distance, not to mention the advanced three-pounder artillery of the Qingfeng army, even the artillery cast by the imperial court in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty can also shatter the city gate.
Ma Shouren only realized at this time that Hu Dahai was not shouting 'running', but 'cannon', but it was too late, and with a few muffled sounds, the city gate was smashed and smashed.
Hu Dahai took the lead with a big axe to open the mountain, rushed into the city gate, Geng Zaicheng operated a big knife to open the mountain, followed by the main force of the Qingfeng Red Turban Army hidden in the distance, pouring into Hezhou like a tide.
Ma Shouren shouted: "There is fraud in it", and he has not yet distinguished whether it is 'two kings or four twos', and has been cut down to the ground by Hu Dahai with a big axe.
