Chapter 321: Voluntary Death

Zheng Heng made a great contribution tonight, and he cut it like this, so many soldiers from the north in the army can only feel that the core of the Jinyang army, these foreign military horses, do not treat their people from the north as people.

Chaos may not be, but it will never fight to the death, now the lone army is defending, the Jurchen Tartars are forcing the city, and reinforcements are constantly coming, and they are about to work together, how can they be plain and mess with the army's heart?

He muttered unwillingly: "I don't know why, I just look at this guy unpleasantly, gloomy, and I don't know what Zhenri is thinking......"

The generals beside him sighed: "Let General Gao and General Tang go to the main place, let's just look at it...... Lao Gao, I always feel that we have to confess here if we can't say it, just want to kill a few more Tartars, don't lose the bird! ”

The sound of horses' hooves came in the night, and under the firelight, I saw Gao Zhong and others, galloping with dozens of guards, Gao Zhong rode his horse in the front, and the snowflakes had fallen a thin layer on her cloak, and her pretty cheeks were also blown red by the cold wind.

A pair of black and thin eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and the guards behind him shouted: "General Gao has arrived!" The soldiers who were waiting here bowed down one after another and hurriedly gave way to a passage.

Gao Chong nodded even if he had greeted him, and the whirlwind rolled straight in, and at first glance, he saw Zheng Heng who was bowing respectfully to the ground, as well as the dejected soldiers under his command, Gao Chong looked at Zheng Heng condescendingly, and said coldly: "General Zheng, what's going on?" ”

Zheng Heng bowed his head deeply to the ground, not daring to raise it: "The last general is guilty of capital crimes, the restraint of his subordinates is not effective, General Gao is in front of him, what else can he defend himself?" But please General Gao only sinned the last general, and the last general commanded these sons, who were deceived for a while, and now the Jurchen Tartars are forcing the city. There will be a big war, and these sons and daughters also asked General Gao to allow them to make meritorious contributions to General Gao's great cause...... As for the guilty general, let General Gao execute him, although he died without hatred. ”

Gao Zhong squeezed the horsewhip tightly with one hand, and his thick eyebrows were almost twisted into a pimple. Subconsciously waved the horsewhip twice in the air, but did not speak, Jin Yangjun and the others who were sent to Zheng Heng's side glanced at each other, and finally stepped forward and bowed to Gao Chong: "The partridge is in chaos, and the change is hasty, and the last general is incompetent, and he has not taken precautions." General Zheng beheaded the partridge, meritorious and innocent, and asked General Gao to investigate. ”

Gao Pet replied angrily: "I know all this!" Retreat first and recuperate! ”

The level of Gao Pet was originally a fierce general, and now he can't be alone, but after a few days of training, he has grown up rapidly, but he does have a headache when he encounters this kind of thing. A chaos was put down before it was a big deal. This is a good thing, but it is Zheng Heng who is in chaos!

What kind of person is this person, Gao Pet is completely unsure, when he got the latest news on the way, Gao Pet and the generals were stunned, and for a while I really hoped that this mess would really make trouble. Get rid of Zheng Heng in a good name!

But now, how can you start again? Countless eyes focused on Gao Chong, during which there were many sergeants from Ulzhou, Zheng Heng occupied Ulzhou, and he was a native of his hometown. Although he did not do any good governance when he ruled Ulzhou, but forced the fortresses around to try his best to supply his thousands of troops and horses, but for outsiders, even if he was a refuge on behalf of Ulzhou.

In this way, Zheng Heng can be easily eliminated, only by letting the sergeant centrifuge, no matter how strong the Ulzhou city fortress is, it is not enough to be afraid! It was precisely because the Jurchen Tartars persecuted the city of Ulzhou that they wanted to get rid of Zheng Heng, an unstable factor.

And it was also because the Jurchen Tartars persecuted the city of Ulzhou, and they couldn't punish Zheng Heng without guilt, which caused chaos in the army! It's almost an unsolvable circle.

At this moment, not only can Zheng Heng not be killed, but also must be rewarded and given preferential treatment to reassure the army's heart, and how to deal with the sergeants under Zheng Heng's command who participated in the rebellion, it is extremely difficult to be caught off guard, and not punishment is not enough to deter the whole army, all these sergeants will be transferred from Zheng Heng's command, and after killing a few people, they will be scattered and assigned to other teams.

But this is not punishing the rebellious sergeants, but punishing Zheng Heng, but if Zheng Heng is not in charge of the army, how can he rest assured?

The generals looked at Gao Zhong and pondered there, no one spoke, now no one has any good ideas, they all feel in a dilemma, but now so many people are watching, there are still Jurchen Tartar military horses outside the city, how can they continue to be so deadlocked? Zheng Heng suddenly kneeled a few steps, closer to Gao Pet's mount, still bowed to the ground and did not look up: "I guarantee with my life, I and my sons are willing to die for General Gao!" The sin will be sideways in Ulzhou for a long time, and he promises to be the person in the meantime, the Jurchen Tartars drive away the people of Ulzhou, and if the pigs and dogs are driven, the sin will not be shared with the Jurchen Tartars! The sin general Erlang was confused for a while, and when he made meritorious service to himself, he asked General Gao Xu to lead a hundred troops and horses to guard the first fortress under the mountain! If the Jurchen Tartars pounce on the fortress of Ulzhou, the sin will dare to ensure that they will be covered with corpses in front of the first fortress, and they will not be able to take half a step! ”

The main city fortress of Ulzhou, built by the mountain, a passage road along the mountain to the front of the main city fortress, along this access road, from low to high built four fortresses, all of which are built of civil engineering and stone piles, two by two, control the passage road, the distance between each other can be connected with bows and arrows, used to defend the main city fortress.

The foreign enemy attacked the main fortress of Ulju, and if they went straight along the road, these four small forts would be able to beat them in the ass and make them fall into the rain of arrows from all sides.

And along the small forts, the main fortress can freely transfer troops under the cover of this small fort, and attack out of the city at any time, contain the enemy's offensive, and support the defense of the small fort.

With such a defensive system, combined with the dangerous terrain, Ulzhou is really difficult to attack, and what Zheng Heng asked was to go out to defend a small fort at the bottom and face the Jurchen army! The method he took the initiative to propose, Gao Zhong and the generals thought about it, but it turned out to be more beneficial and less disadvantageous.

Zheng Heng picked a hundred henchmen to go out, that is, he gave up the command power of the rest of the military horses left in the city, and he could break up the division, the biggest unstable factor, disappeared, Zheng Heng led a hundred military horses, far outside the city, what chaos could there be? The worst result is nothing more than Zheng Heng's surrender of the fort.

But the first fortress is located in the lowest place, as long as the other fortresses, the main city fortress is not lost, and the bow and crossbow alone can make the Jurchen Tartars gain a foothold in the first fortress.

can't play a role of support, if you want to break through Ulzhou, you have to gnaw it up layer by layer! To put it bluntly, maybe Zheng Heng really surrendered to the fort, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief! It is even more justifiable to dispose of the military horse left by Zheng Heng and firmly hold it in his hands.

According to Jiancheng, there is no internal worry, and the generals are confident, and they can defend Ulzhou until the moment when reinforcements arrive! For Yang Ling's reinforcements will eventually arrive, no one has ever doubted it. (To be continued......)
