Chapter 34: Another Raid (Monday for Recommendation)
After entering the hall, everyone sat down in turn, and Hao Dayong looked at Pang Gang meaningfully after sitting down and said with a smile: "Pang Baihu, the official just asked your colleagues about you, but I didn't expect you to really think about it, as soon as you said it, you came." If you come, you can also talk about how to deal with the enemy. ”
"What do you all say?" Pang Gang did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Inuya Mountain is less than fifty miles away from the Lingshan Guard, according to the report of the night (spies), there are nearly 500 bandits, and there are only more than 400 soldiers that our guards can send, even if they add the elite soldiers brought by Pang Baihu, there are only more than 500 people, and the number of bandits is comparable, so this battle is quite tricky." Hao Dayong was not in a very good mood, and after coming to the Lingshan Guardhouse, he found that the situation in the Guardhouse was even worse than he imagined. Yesterday he inspected the garrison troops that had been assembled in the guard station, and found that although most of these garrisons were young and strong, all of them lacked training and had no fighting spirit, and he frowned when he saw it. It wasn't until Shi Cai saw the one hundred and twenty elite soldiers that Pang Gang brought that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huge people, I heard that the commander in Qingzhou appreciates the adults very much, and now the adults may wish to point out the lowly positions, so that the lowly people can increase their knowledge." At this time, a hundred households who had been standing behind Hao Dayong spoke, but how could these words feel like a strange smell of yin and yang in Pang Gang's ears.
Pang Gang shook his head, "This official is a rough man, and he will fight as much as the adults say." This officer thinks that bandits are bandits after all, and our Ming officers and soldiers will naturally flee as soon as they arrive. ”
After hearing this, this Baihu showed a look of disdain on his face, "Pang Gang's words are wrong, although the bandits' combat power is vulnerable, but they must be careful, otherwise it will not be good if they attack Wangjiatun last time." ”
Pang Gang was angry in his heart, although he benefited a lot from the last battle of Wangjiatun, and therefore sat on the seat of a hundred households, but this battle is really a shame for Lingshan Guard, Pang Gang is a subordinate of Lingshan Guard, this hundred households are clearly mocking Pang Gang faintly, saying that he is climbing up with the corpse of the robe!
Pang Gang, who was furious in his heart, stared at him, held his right hand on the handle of the knife, and asked with a sneer: "This adult looks very eye-catching, I don't know if my adult has a big name?" ”
Seeing Shangguan angry, Wang Zhi and Heitie behind Pang Gang also glared at him angrily.
This Baihu met Pang Gang's gaze without showing weakness, and said with a sneer: "The black iron of the hundred households in Qingzhou is a nobody, and it is naturally not unusual for Pang Baihu not to know this official. ”
"Oh, listening to Lord Hei's words, it seems that he has a high opinion on the extermination of the bandits in Inuya Mountain, I wonder if I can tell someone Pang?"
According to the officer's shallow opinion, he should first send out the night not to collect (scouts) to cut off the eyes and ears of the bandits, and then the army is dignified and pressed on the self-defeating battle. Facing the eyes of Pang Gangji and others, Hei Tie didn't think so, and said it calmly with a gloomy face.
"Oh, so Lord Hei is still confident, so why do you ask this official to do! Lord Hao, I have to resign in advance! Pang Gang, who was angry in his heart, didn't want to suffer this kind of bird anger here, and arched his hand towards Hao Dayong and turned around and was about to turn around and walk out of the hall, where were the officers willing to let him go, and several hundred households of Lingshan Guard stopped him together.
Hao Da glared at Hei Tie with disgust and scolded: "Hei Baihu, as a Ming officer, you treat your colleagues like this!" Don't apologize to the huge people yet! ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in Hei Tie's eyes, and he said to Pang Gang with a smile: "Don't blame the huge man, this official is a rough person, and he is offended by his words, I hope to forgive me!" ”
Pang Gang snorted coldly and sat down on the side. After this incident, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward, and it dispersed in a hurry after a while.
After lunch, Hao Da waved his big hand, and the various departments quickly pulled out, and several teams of people and horses set off in a hurry.
Pang Gang led his men and horses to walk in the center of the team, and he was a little surprised that Heitie was the leader of Hao Da under his hands, and he took more than 30 of his subordinates to ride horses in front to investigate the situation, and soon dozens of people would take turns to come back to report the situation in front, so that the officers walking in the middle knew everything about the things ahead. This discovery made Pang Gang a little surprised, this black iron marching army who always seemed to be gloomy and even spoke in a weird way had some real skills in fighting.
And Hao Dayong naturally did not come empty-handed when he came to Lingshanwei, in addition to bringing the black iron team, he also brought a team of more than 30 people, and these families turned out to be all riding horses. This discovery made Pang Gang extremely red-eyed, in his Wanghai Fort, in addition to a few inferior horses he bought at a high price and the red horse sent by the Song Commander last time, he didn't even have a mule and horse, and even the baggage supplies had to rely on the baggage soldiers to carry it, this discovery also gave Pang Gang the idea that he must get a batch of horses to build a cavalry of his own.
At this time, it was the middle of October, the cold wind was cold, the sky was cold, the soldiers of Lingshan Wei walked for less than half an hour and complained bitterly, especially after walking for more than an hour, the sky began to drift goose feather snow, and the road began to slip, now even Hao Dayong's family was a little unbearable, they had to get off the horse and walk slowly, the cold wind blew in the face, and it felt like the face was cut by a knife, and everyone began to curse.
Seeing the laziness of the soldiers, the officers couldn't bear it anymore, and they all asked Hao Da to camp on the spot and wait until the snow stopped before marching.
Hao Dayong had a calm face, pointed at Pang Gang and the soldiers behind him with a horsewhip in his right hand and said, "Wait and look at Pang Baihu's military horses, and then look at your own soldiers, the officials will blush for you." It's also out of a health center, why is the gap so big! ”
Only then did the officers realize that Pang Gang had also dismounted at this time and was walking with the soldiers of Wanghai Fort, but the hundred of them were still in good shape at this time, and the marching team was not scattered.
The officers were ashamed in their hearts and said: "My lord, the soldiers brought by the lowly rank are naturally worse than the soldiers and horses brought by Pang Baihu, but the soldiers are thinly clothed at this time, and the lowly people are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the wind and frost!" ”
Hao Da waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "These officials don't care, the military orders are like a mountain, if you can't rush to Inuya Mountain to set up camp before the end of the day, all the generals will be punished." Speaking of this, Hao Dayong's face softened, "Of course, this official is not unreasonable, if the order continues, if you defeat the dog tooth mountain, this official will reward you and all the soldiers." ”
The officers had no choice but to take the order, under the temptation of heavy reward, these soldiers accelerated the speed of the march, the team of nearly 600 people did not arrive at the foot of the dog tooth mountain until the afternoon, Hao Dayong immediately ordered to set up camp near a small hill to prepare to attack the bandit cottage, but at this moment the heavy snow in the sky suddenly stopped, such a coincidence made everyone surprised.
At the command of the order, all the soldiers immediately began to make a commotion, and all the people who sat and rested and rested were all in chaos.
At this time, the gap between the armies began to be reflected, and the troops from Lingshanwei ran around the mountains like a hornet's nest, collecting firewood, setting up tents, and hiding in recesses to avoid the wind, completely out of order.
On the other hand, the soldiers of Wanghai Fort brought by Pang Gang, except for the 100 baggage soldiers who began to set up tents, the remaining 120 soldiers under the leadership of Da Zhuang and Wang Zhi also spread out to rest, drinking water and talking, but they were still in order.
At this time, Hao Dayong was standing on a small hill with Pang Gang, Bin Shiqian, Qi Wuming and other officers to watch the terrain of Inuya Mountain. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the foot of the mountain, and more than a dozen Ye Bushu rushed straight from the front, and one of Ye Bushu in front shouted loudly, "My lord, my lord, the enemy is attacking!" The bandits are rushing down the mountain! ”
As soon as the words of the night keeper fell, a scream sounded behind them, and a scream rang out from under the crowd: "Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers!" ”
Soon a group of thieves appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked, and Bin Shiqian and the others scolded angrily, "These damn bandits, do you want to catch us off guard like Wang Jiatun did at the beginning?" Straight lady thief, since the thieves are in such a hurry to send them to death, let's fulfill them! ”
"Prepare for battle!"
"All in line!"
At the foot of the mountain, the shouting and scolding of the officers and the hurried footsteps of the sergeants resounded!
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
