Chapter 17: Stinky Chess
Zhang Yannian went to bed very early, older people are always plagued by insomnia, and Zhang Yannian is no exception. I lay in bed for an hour, but I still couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. The battle of Boulder Fort was successfully concluded, and both the General Staff Department and the Military and Political Department issued commendation orders. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many shortages in each battalion and they needed to be replenished on the spot, he would have been lying at Yongfeng's house by now. It's really not good to have a person who doesn't have a foot on the bed all day long. Zhang Yannian's eyes suddenly appeared in front of the round face of the maid Yuxing, I haven't seen her for a while, I really have some worries, I have been with me for more than ten years, it's time to give her a name.
Time flies, and Zhaohua is fleeting. is old, famous, and wealthy, and he has long looked down on it, what is the purpose of all this hard work, isn't it for the unscrupulous son who always sings against himself.
Thinking of his son Zhang Ren, Zhang Yannian's heart finally had a trace of comfort, this kid has finally grown up!
"What's going on?" Zhang Yannian suddenly heard a shout of killing outside the tent, he jumped up, grabbed the sword next to the pillow and rushed to the door of the tent barefoot.
"General, the Uighurs have rebelled." The lieutenant of the Chinese military has just finished reporting. He saw Zhang Ren breaking into the camp wearing Uighur clothes and a draped head, "Brother Hao is reversed, Brother Hao is reversed." Zhang Ren shouted like a madman.
Zhang Yannian's scalp exploded suddenly, and he suddenly shouted: "Calm down!" What's going on? ”
"It's too late, Xie, explain ......" Zhang Ren said breathlessly, "Quick, quickly order, take back the castle, otherwise, they close the gate, let's just, it's all fucking over." ”
Zhang Yannian didn't have time to ask what happened in the castle, Zhang Ren was the supreme general stationed in the Boulder Fort, if he lost the Boulder Fort, according to military regulations, it would be a capital crime to kill the head.
"Where is the Chinese army?" Zhang Yannian broke off. The four responses were like thunder.
"Retake Boulder Fort at all costs!"
"Yes!"
The Chinese army that Zhang Yannian said is the Xiaocai battalion, and the battalion is all his relatives and friends from the captain of the unified army to the ordinary soldiers, and Zhang Yannian is a towering golden god in the minds of everyone. As soon as he gave the order, there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, and the generals would not hesitate to rush over.
"All, come with me!" Zhang Ren picked up a long knife on the weapon rack, took off the Uighur leather robe in three or two strokes, and shouted shirtlessly: "Kill all the rebellions, raise my greatness, and the Tang Dynasty army might!" ”
The three hundred heroes roared angrily, and followed Zhang Ren out of the camp.
Ten days ago, Brother Hao Xiancheng Zhang Ren occupied the Boulder Fort almost without blood, and in order to show friendship, Zhang Yannian only sent a team of men and horses from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Flying Tiger Battalion to enter the Boulder Fort. Brother Hao and his relatives were still allowed to stay in the castle, although there were only a few dozen people, and they were all old and weak, women and children, but after all, there were still hidden dangers.
Zhang Xiao, the lieutenant of the Xiaocai Battalion stationed in Boulder Fort, and Hu Jing'an, the second outpost of the Flying Tiger Battalion stationed in the city, were also assassinated by Brother Hao's cronies at the same time as Zhang Ren was attacked. The hundreds of soldiers in the two battalions were leaderless, and most of them were killed or wounded. When Zhang Ren's 300 men reached the side gate of the boulder fort, there were only more than ten Tang soldiers left in the castle, and fortunately, these dozen people guarded a stone gate. made great contributions to Zhang Ren's final turnaround.
As soon as Zhang Ren left, Zhang Xiao's younger brother Zhang Hui trotted all the way to Zhang Yannian's side and reported in a low voice: "Uncle, the Lin family father and son closed the camp gate, and there seemed to be a voice of oath in the camp. ”
Zhang Hui has been ordered to secretly monitor the movements of the Xinlin clan, he is cautious, and Zhang Yannian has no doubt about his words.
There was only one sentry left in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Zhang Yannian immediately realized the danger, and he ordered Zhang Hui to say: "You go to the Flying Tiger Camp immediately, and you want the Golden Leaf Festival to step up your vigilance, and rush to reinforcements immediately when you see my signal." ”
After Park Eun-joon was promoted to the rank of staff lieutenant of the General Staff Division, Captain Kim Leaf Festival took over the post of commander of the army. Like the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Flying Tiger Battalion has long been Park Eun-joon's private army, and no one can command the movement except for Park Eun-joon and his cronies Gold Leaf Festival. In order to prevent the Gold Leaf Festival from seeing death and not saving it, Zhang Yannian handed over the tiger-headed sword, which symbolized the authority of the lord, to Zhang Hui and granted him the power to specialize in the opportunity.
The Flying Tiger Battalion was stationed on a dirt slope two miles north of the Cavalry Battalion. To the southwest of it is the camp of the Lin family and his son. Zhang Hui rode alone to the Flying Tiger Camp station, found Tan Rang, the captain of the military academy on duty, and the two came to see the Golden Leaf Festival together. At this time, the gold leaf festival was drunk and snoring. In his tent lay four plump and fair-skinned Uighur women, a gift from Zhang Ren a few days earlier.
"General, wake up." No matter how Tan Rang pushes, the gold leaf festival just can't wake up. Zhang Hui looked annoyed, and in a hurry, he took out his anger at the four women, brandished a horsewhip and beat them indiscriminately. Strange to say, the drunk Gold Leaf Festival heard the woman's crying, and jumped up "rubbing", he grabbed Zhang Hui's shirt and punched his nose.
The gold leaf knot is fat and strong, and Zhang Hui is by no means his opponent in hand-to-hand combat, and his nose and eyes are swollen from being beaten with three punches and two kicks. Tan Rang rushed up to dissuade him, and he was also punched by the gold leaf festival and had a long nosebleed.
Zhang Hui was ashamed, pulled out the tiger head sword, and scolded: "Bastard thing, I have the tiger head sword, no matter how rude you dare to be rude, I will not be polite." ”
The gold leaf knot was on his head, and he patted his black-haired chest and shouted, "My son has a kind of you coming here!" ”
Zhang was excited by him, but he calmed down, and put away his sword and said: "I don't have the same knowledge as you, the Lin family father and son are going to rebel, and General Zhang wants you to tighten your guard and attack when you see the order." ”
The Gold Leaf Festival laughed when he heard this, and pointed at Zhang Hui's nose and scolded: "This is called evil retribution, his Zhang family father and son have done bad things and forced people to rebel, why do you want our brothers to back?" ”
Tan Rang heard this, and hurriedly said: "The general is cautious!" ”
Zhang Huiheng sword in his hand, and said coldly: "You can see clearly, this is the tiger head sword of the main general, if you dare to disobey the military order, I will split you now." ”
Tan Rang hurriedly persuaded: "The general is drunk, Brother Zhang doesn't have to be like this." As he spoke, he hugged the gold leaf festival and whispered, "General, don't forget General Park's instructions." ”
When the Golden Leaf Festival heard this, he didn't say anything, only straightened his arm and pushed Tan Rang aside, and then walked in front of Zhang Hui with a cold face, standing with his feet side by side, towering in front of Zhang Hui like a mountain of meat. He slowly lowered his head and whispered to Zhang Hui: "Zhang Yannian is a fart." ”
"Yikes!" Zhang Hui suddenly burst out with an angry roar, and the tiger head sword drew a cold arc and cut off a huge head.
――――――――――
A group of Uighur soldiers led by Lin Hanlie, dressed in Tang Army uniforms, quietly touched the gate of the Xiaofeng camp in the night.
"What people! Hold it! "The guards suddenly noticed movement outside the camp gate.
"Whoosh!" A feathered arrow pierced the soldier's throat.
"Kill!" Lin Hanlie brandished a big knife and took the lead in entering the Xiaofeng camp......
"There is a change in the city, you will immediately go out of the camp with me to help, and I will bear any responsibility for the crime!" In the Chinese military account, because there was no order from the commander-in-chief, Peng Ling, the supervising army, refused to let Chen Mingyi, the captain of the unified army, send troops. Chen Mingyi, who has always been gentle and elegant, blushed and had a thick neck at the moment, and all the military academies around him were also red-eyed. The post of supervising the army was established not long ago, and its full name is "Propaganda and Consolation Envoy of the Military Administration Department in Each Battalion." Each battalion has one person who is responsible for supervising military affairs, and has the privilege of making secret reports.
"I repeat, no one is allowed to call in a single soldier without the order of the commander-in-chief." Peng Ling, the supervisor of the Xiaofeng Battalion, is in his early twenties, and he is bookish and angry, and he always speaks slowly.
"I repeat, if there is any guilt, I will bear it alone!" Chen Mingyi was originally a civil official, if he hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, he would have spoken even slower than Peng Ling
"Report--, the Xinlin clan has rebelled and has entered the camp."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This is the end of the debate. Chen Mingyi glared at Peng Ling fiercely, drew a knife in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me out!" ”
The main force of the Xinlin clan attacking the camp of Xiaofeng Camp was eight hundred. Xiaofeng Battalion suddenly approached the enemy, and was dizzy for a while. Fortunately, Chen Mingyi is a cautious person, and his camp is called Zimu Village, which seems to be one, but it is actually a large camp and a small camp, divided into four or five independent parts.
While one battalion was damaged, the others were functioning normally. After Lin Hanlie attacked the front camp, Chen Mingyi attracted the main force of the Xinlin clan from the front, but sent Lu Tong, the captain of the military academy, to open the secret door from the rear camp and lead the cavalry to attack.
In the late Tang Dynasty, because the towns in Hebei often fought with the grassland cavalry, each army derived a set of effective methods to prevent cavalry raids. Raiding the enemy's camp with cavalry would inevitably result in heavy casualties, and no one would dare to attempt such an attempt unless they had absolute superiority in numbers.
Lin Hanlie did not dare to use cavalry when he attacked Xiaofeng's camp, and his 800 infantry troops waded through the trenches, climbed over the earthen walls, and entered the camp after bypassing the horse rejection array. Everything went very smoothly, but Lin Hanlie did not expect that he broke into the Zimu Village, after breaking through the first Zi Village, his subordinates were blocked by the strong bows and crossbows of the Xining Army in front of a wooden wall, and in the unobstructed open space, the brave Xinlin warriors became the targets of their activities.
What's even more deadly is that the cavalry of the Xiaofeng battalion suddenly killed them from behind. On a flat land, the result of the infantry confrontation can only be the destruction of the infantry army, this truth is very clear to Lin Hanlie, and his soldiers are even clearer. Therefore, when the cavalry of the Xiaofeng battalion suddenly appeared behind them, the Xinlin people's will to fight suddenly collapsed.
In fact, Lu Tong's heart was also secretly complaining, although there was a flat land in front of him, the place was too narrow, and eight hundred infantry were gathered together, which was an indestructible wall of flesh! It is almost impossible to expect hundreds of cavalry to break through this wall of flesh, if Lin Hanlie is a clever commander, he can completely rely on this wall of flesh to hold his position and tear this small cavalry squad to pieces. It's a pity that Lin Hanlie's preconceived prejudice made him confused, and with almost no resistance, the eight hundred Xinlin warriors collapsed.
Chen Mingyi, who was supervising the battle behind the wooden wall, also saw this, and he secretly rejoiced that sending cavalry to copy Lin Hanlie's back road was really a stinky move, but fortunately, the opponent took a stinker move than himself. It's really destined for wealth and fame, and it can't be controlled by manpower!
――――――――
It was not only Chen Mingyi and Lin Hanlie who played stinky chess, but Brother Hao also played stinky chess, and it was so stinky that he gave up his life. After successfully anesthetizing and killing the twelve sworn brothers of Zhang Xiao, Hu Jing'an, and Zhang Ren, he should have immediately opened the stone gate of the Boulder Fort to allow the Xinlin friendly troops to enter the fort. But he was carried away by a series of victories, and arrogantly believed that with his eighty men he could wipe out the remnants of the castle and defend the monolithic fort.
After Zhang Ren led his army into the Boulder Fort, because the terrain was unfamiliar, the progress was slow for a while. Brother Hao made another mistake in judgment, he thought that with the countless secret passages and secret doors in the Boulder Castle, Zhang Ren could be slowly dragged to death. A reinforcement of the Xinlin clan gathered outside the south gate of the castle and signaled him several times, but he refused to open the stone gate.
It wasn't until Zhang Ren quietly occupied all the gates of the castle that Brother Hao realized that his mistake was irreversible. After paying a huge price in casualties, Zhang Ren forced Brother Hao to a dead end. According to common sense, Brother Hao had already drawn his sword and killed himself or simply jumped off the building to commit suicide, but he didn't, he closed the stone door tightly, and he just couldn't hide.
When Zhang Ren was about to play a game of cat and mouse with him, Zhang Yannian suddenly sent someone to bring a message: kill Brother Hao immediately.
