Chapter 289: Killing the Enemy and Making Meritorious Contributions
"That army was in the mountains south of the village, not far away, only a mile away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere are coal and stones in the mountain, and there are many villagers who go to dig on weekdays, and two days ago, I got up early and went to the mountain with a bamboo basket on my back, and I saw people in the mountain from a distance. Fan Zhidao.
Chen Ping was moved in his heart, coal and stone, can be excavated in the open air, could it be a coal mine? If that's the case, you've picked up something good on this trip.
"Then how do you know that the mountains are the army of the Linyi Kingdom?" Chen Ping asked.
Fan Zhi replied: "I saw the banner of the second prince, it must be that he is good." When General Liu came before, it was also the second prince who led the army to resist. ”
Listening to Fan Zhi, the second prince of Linyi is still a combat faction, and he can personally lead the army to resist the Sui army, at least his courage is commendable.
But Lin-eup is not as good as Goguryeo in the northeast, and when Goguryeo enters the middle of the country, the temperature drops, which is not conducive to warfare.
The transportation route is long, and the influence of the weather is even more obvious to the Sui army. Fortunately, the forest is in winter, although the mountains and forests are sultry, but out of the woods, the climate is quite cool.
This is congenital deficiency, even if you have no courage, no soldiers in your hands, and no one is available for the country's weakness, it is still just a mantis arm as a car.
"How many, do you know?" If there are not many people, Chen Ping will eat it, and if he doesn't fight for the military merits sent to him, after entering the national capital, or waiting for the army next to him to come up, it may be difficult to get it again.
"About five hundred." Fan Zhidao, "I went around the foot of the mountain, went around the path to find another place to dig coal and stones, and I was careful from a distance. ”
Chen Ping nodded, five hundred people, if it is a sneak attack, it can be a battle: "You say you know the path?" Is the path hidden? ”
"Well, that path is unknown to the people in the village, overgrown with weeds and trees, and it is not easy for people to find it." Fan Zhi knew everything, until now, he just wanted to satisfy the group of Sui Dynasty soldiers in front of him, otherwise if he angered these people, the village would definitely be slaughtered.
Fan Zhi doesn't care who will be the king of Linyi, as long as he can settle down and not remind him every day, it will be enough.
Let a guard look at Fan Zhi, Chen Ping called the gang leaders to one place again.
"Tell me what you think." One person counts the short, the other counts the long, Chen Ping found a branch, drew a line on the ground, and then circled a circle at the end of the line, and clicked after the circle, "The place is not far away, there are about 500 people." ”
Just now Chen Ping asked, Zhang Shan'an and several people were there, and they already had a plan in their hearts, so they nodded one after another: "Fight, but five hundred people, if you catch their prince, it will definitely be a great achievement." ”
For several months, although he was in a hurry, the training still did not stop, and Wen Xiaohai kept instilling the thoughts of the guards according to Chen Ping's instructions, and the guards were already holding their breath.
"Okay, pack up your things, and prepare to capture the prince of Nalinyi, and reward him for meritorious service." Chen Ping's heart is also eager.
The order was conveyed, and a guard was sent to the rear army to report the news to Zhou Faxian, and Chen Ping led the rest of the guards, with Fan Zhi as a guide, avoided the village in front, took a detour, and at dusk, arrived at the foot of the mountain full of coal and stones that Fan Zhi said.
The path is indeed hidden, the ground is very overgrown with grass, and twice the forest is luxuriant, and from the gap in the forest, you can see the coal mountain dozens of feet away.
The trees on the coal mountain are sparse, and if you look closely, you can see the shaking flags and the figures of people walking, and the little green smoke floating in the mountains.
"Wait until they're eating." With a bamboo sleeve on the horse's mouth, Chen Ping bent over with the guards next to him, and distributed with the guards, "Advance according to the group, the gap between the front and back must not be too large, and always ensure that they can support each other, and they must not chase the enemy privately." ”
The guards nodded.
Fan Zhi was beside Chen Ping, but his expression was very panicked at this time. He didn't expect that this group of talented people with 100 sergeants would dare to deal with the army of the second prince with 500 people. How is it not waiting for the army behind?
If this group fails, where else can he go?
Take refuge in the second prince? Definitely not, if the second prince knew that the Sui army he brought by Fan Zhi was coming, he would definitely tie him to the ground, and then drive the war elephant to trample on it, so that he would be crushed to pieces and reduced to a puddle of flesh.
Voted for the Sui Army? It seems good, but if you think about it, it still doesn't work. Not to mention that Fan Zhi's wife and children are in Linyi, if this little general is defeated and dies here, the Sui army may blame him and cut off his head directly.
It's really hard to do.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have gone to the mountains to cut firewood, but instead of cutting the firewood, he was arrested, which is a dilemma.
Looking at Chen Ping beside him, Fan intuitively felt that it was better to let the little general retreat: "Little general, although Lin Yiguo is small, the guards are not as equipped as the Great Sui. But the subordinates of the second prince are all equipped with leather armor and iron armor, and there are hundreds of people, and you are only a hundred guards, aren't you...... Isn't it time to wait? ”
"My subordinate guards perform on weekdays, and the knives and guns in their hands are also used to kill people. Don't worry, you will stay here later, you don't need to go up, wait for me to arrest the second prince, repay the merit with the court, get a reward, and free your benefits. Chen Ping said in a low voice.
If a week's training is still short, but after a few months of drilling, if he still can't deal with this group of people who have died once, Chen Ping feels that he doesn't have to work hard, and he wants to get a piece of the pie in the late Sui Dynasty and occupy a piece of territory.
It's not that Chen Ping underestimates the enemy, and it's not that he doesn't believe Fan Zhi's words. All along, Chen Ping has been speculating about people's hearts and acting cautiously, Fan Zhi's worries, Chen Ping can understand, but it is just that outsiders don't understand Chen Ping, and they don't understand Chen Ping and the guards.
Starting from Liuhe Mansion, although it is in a hurry, the itinerary is not tight, and the day is over, which is the time to rest. Chen Ping took advantage of this gap to play his subordinate guards. After two or three months of training, it's time to verify the results.
"They're starting to eat." Zhang Shan'an got out of the grass in front of him, revealing a head.
Chen Ping waved his hand and instructed: "Take the gang as a group and move forward." ”
Ten groups of people set up a mandarin duck array, bent their waists, and silently walked towards the coal mountain. Chen Ping was at the forefront, with his long knife unsheathed, holding a shield in one hand.
I walked five feet forward, but I didn't notice it, only the rustling sound of stepping on the weeds. Continue to walk, advance ten zhang, out of the dense forest, the people in the coal mountain in front of them finally found Chen Ping and the others.
It's messed up.
Lin Yiguo, who was squatting on the ground to eat, was stunned at first, then noisy shouting, and then screaming, accompanied by the collision of weapons, with angry scolding, although he couldn't understand it, but Chen Ping knew that it was a surprised scolding.
"It's the elite, but it's also a rabble." Everything fell into Chen Ping's eyes, Chen Ping didn't look back, but his steps were a little faster, "Run, kill the enemy!" (To be continued.) )
