Chapter 102: North and South

"Where's the spear?"

"Ran away."

"Lao Tzu told you to run away! Tell you to run away! The captain scolded and kicked Brother Guan hard, he was about to close the team soon after giving the pursuit order, but he was so tired and out of breath that the whistle didn't blow halfway, and the stunned soldier chased after him in a hurry, and sent a few soldiers to look for it but couldn't find it, and when he came back, he actually dropped the spear.

The military judge next to him came over with a torch, turned over the waist card of the eldest brother and looked at the number, and recorded it in his booklet, the eldest brother Guan looked at the two officers blankly, I didn't know what to say, he met a few chaotic soldiers from the alley on the way back, and both sides were scared, and the spearhead was stuck after he killed him, and he lost the courage of the group at this time, and threw it away in a panic and ran away.

The military judge finished writing and asked, "Have you chased you to the river?" โ€

"O, yes."

"How many into?"

"I don't know, all the places are entered, I don't know which ones I killed."

His platoon commander kicked him again, kicking Brother Guan's whole body, and the platoon commander turned his head to flattering the military judge after kicking and said: "Military judge, you see that this Guan brother didn't mean it, it was my whistle that didn't blow, he rushed so far when he was dizzy, and he won't be in the future, but he is eager to kill the enemy, and one of the rebels has been driven across the river, you see that he killed so many rebels, raise your noble hand." โ€

The military judge shook his head, some didn't know what to do, Chen Xin asked for both obedience to discipline and encouragement for brave behavior, he didn't know whether to encourage or punish Brother Guan now, but he was sure that this violation of the order had no negative impact on the battle, and he could not deal with it immediately, and go back to the military judge of the battle group to give it a headache.

"There is naturally a reward for the amount he kills, but a violation of discipline is a violation of discipline, leaving the queue during the battle, violating the combat regulations, and losing the main weapon, which will be recorded in the ...... for you."

Before the military judge finished speaking, Zhong Laosi's broken gong voice sounded from the front, "It's also a fart, Brother Guan is good, your fucking head is stupider than Emperor Guanmiao, and you are much more powerful than your brother, Lao Tzu has never seen such a fierce soldier, the soldiers on the city tower are frightened, Lao Tzu wants this kind of soldier." โ€

The military judge showed dissatisfaction on his face, and continued to record the violation of discipline by himself, Zhong Laosi just recovered the troops that impacted, and replaced them with the second row of spears, and it took a little time to deploy the formation, so it took a little later, at this time, seeing that the military judge was still remembering, he couldn't help but say, he snatched the book and threw it away, and said with a big grin: "Don't remember it, Nie Hong is here Lao Tzu is also the same sentence, this lawsuit is not afraid of Lao Tzu in front of Chen Dajin." โ€

"What the are you ......," the military judge pointed at Zhong Laosi's nose and scolded in a hurry.

Zhong Laosi raised his head and stared at him, "What the are you, Lao Tzu has a share in every battle since the beginning of Qishan, what the hell are you doing, dare to point at Lao Tzu again, and chop your fingers off." โ€

The military judge and he glared at each other like cockfights, and finally took two steps back after half a ring, and said fiercely: "Company Commander Zhong, don't forget that you can't control military law, and the military judge is the only chief officer who has mastered military law, and I must report this matter to Shangguan." With that, he ran to pick up his notebook and walked through the doorway to supervise the newly deployed horses.

Brother Guan stared at Zhong Laosi with gratitude, but he didn't know what to say about gratitude, the soldiers who heard it around felt that there was nothing wrong with Brother Guan, and they were also full of respect for this chief officer in their hearts, and they were a little worried about him, but Zhong Laosi didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "Lao Tzu will help you carry this matter, your mother's victory is still wrong, not only can you not be punished, but also you will have to report your war merits and apply for a first-class white-bladed assault medal, if you can't get it, Lao Tzu will go to the Central Military Department to find Chen Dajin and say." โ€

At this time, there was a chirp on the castle tower, and the soldiers in the urn city all looked up, and a firework flew into the sky, bursting into a green firelight......

"Green sรจ fireworks, the north gate has been stabilized."

Zhu Guobin beside him reminded that Chen Xin, who was standing at the foot of Mishen Mountain, glanced to the north, and his heart couldn't help but relax, as long as Zhenhaimen was in hand, the plan would basically succeed.

He led his troops all the way from Pingshan, even the artillery was left behind, and after arriving, the seventh division and the fourth company of the reserve battalion carried out a fierce raid on this large battalion from the south, and the powerful ones in the rebels were transferred to participate in the battle to conquer Dengzhou, and then they all ran to the city to rob everywhere, leaving only some old and weak and forcibly pulled people, Qian Zong Fan Shouye personally commanded the seventh division and the fourth company suddenly appeared from the south, and even a few arrows were hit, and a solid camp was breached, in which not much gold and silver were found, It should have been carried away by the rebels, but the food, grass, cloth and other belongings were piled up, and the people in the camp bombed the camp in panic, and the whole camp was in chaos.

There are torches scattered all over the ground outside the south gate of Dengzhou, where the shouting and killing sound has gradually disappeared, the gate of Chaoyao Gate is closed, the city is noisy, constantly shooting outwards, and some horns and bamboo whistles are sounding outside the city, Chen Xin knows that the eighth division is regrouping.

Now that the north gate is stable, Chen Xin put his mind at ease, originally he planned to invest two soldiers to Zhenhai Gate, but the south gate found that a group of rebel reinforcements were marching towards Mishen Mountain, he had to put the eighth division into interception, the rebels who rescued obviously did not have any experience in night battles, their white spoon command system was useless in the dark, and the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion had several night combat training every month, although there were also zร i problems, but it could ensure the integrity of the command system, and the rebels even held torches after the battle, becoming the most obvious target, After a brief resistance, they quickly fell into confusion and fled in the darkness towards the south gate and west.

After the arrival of the army, Zhou Shifa sent his subordinates to report the shape of Zhenhaimen, the rebels carried out several ferocious attacks after discovering the appearance of the Wendeng camp army, the defending soldiers and action teams continued to ignite the houses on Zhenhaimen Street, blocking the momentum of the rebels layer by layer, and the rebels changed to attack from the city wall, the attack was very fierce, even Zhou Shifa Benjin participated in the battle on the city wall, and now the signal on the city tower indicates that the soldiers arrived in time to repel the rebels, and the city wall and Zhenhaimen Street have been stabilized.

As for the situation in the city, Zhou Shifa and Zhang Dong estimated that the rebels had swept away most of the large households, because there were many Liao people in the city, and the resentment accumulated over the years broke out, and many Liao people spontaneously looted, causing a very large scope and intensity of damage, and they killed each other with the local people, causing heavy casualties in the city, and the north and south of the city were on fire, and many houses were burned, especially in the area north of Caoqiao to Zhenhaimen, which was even more severe because of the deliberate arson of the action team, and only some areas in the northwest and northeast remained.

Chen Xin asked the adjutant behind him, "Have you reported the entry from Dai Zhenggang's side, when will it arrive?" โ€

The adjutant immediately replied: "There is no news, two more Tangma have been sent to investigate, it is estimated that they have also sent Tangma, I am afraid it will be difficult to find the location of our white spoon after dark." โ€

Chen Xin nodded, a little unhappy in his heart, Dai Zhenggang and their two hundred and twenty miles away are mostly official roads, and if they march in a hurry, they should be able to arrive before noon tomorrow, but there is no definite news now, which makes Chen Xin feel very passive, the most important thing is whether the Eighth Division should be sent to Zhenhaimen.

Wendeng battalion occupies the north gate and the south of the Mishen Mountain, because the artillery is still grinding behind, so there is not much advantage in firepower, there is no absolute advantage in both directions, mutual assistance needs to bypass half of Dengzhou City, and the action is under the monitoring of the city wall, once the dawn will be easy to be judged by the city strength and movement, now the rebels occupy the advantage of the inner line in the city, the transfer of troops is more convenient and hidden, the original most powerful rebels in the three thousand into the top, there are many soldiers from the east river in the city, plus those ** It is easy for the Liao people to gather tens of thousands of people, and if they concentrate on attacking one place, it is really a bit hanging.

The strength of the Wendeng battalion here is only 2,500 troops, including 500 auxiliaries, although they also have weapons such as waist knives and knives and sticks, but they help the soldiers carry iron armor all the way, and the body is very attritional, and the training is not much, which is not enough to be a reliable force.

Zhu Guobin knew Chen Xin's worries, when he was discussing in Pingshan, he originally thought that the whole army should enter the city from Zhenhai Gate, but now that Dai Zheng has just waited for the arrival, the rebels may flee to Laiyang from this direction, and then go to Wendeng to make trouble, even if Zhu Guobin thinks that these rebels will not dare to go to Wendeng, he does not dare to pack all the tickets, now all the troops in the Wendeng camp are in Dengzhou, once a large number of routs run to Wendeng, the losses caused will be incalculable. So he also agreed in his heart to divide the troops to defend the north and south, and later found a large number of cloth and silk here after breaking through the Mishen Mountain, Zhu Guobin was originally a pirate, and also knew Chen Xin's sea trade business, these silk cloths were all silver, and the rebels did not have time to carry more grain and grass and oxen and carriages, and Chen Xin would never give up, so it has become necessary to stick to the Mishen Mountain.

He thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Da Jin, my subordinates feel that the eighth division should still be sent to the north gate, the camp of Mishen Mountain is seven miles away from the city, and the official road leading to Qixia is controlled, we don't need to close the south gate, as long as we guard the Mishen Mountain, leave the seventh division of the soldiers and the fourth company of the reserve battalion, and the subordinates personally lead the cavalry battalion to respond, there are a total of 1,000 horses here, and then leave 300 auxiliary soldiers to assist from the side, after the seventh division is put into the city, Zhenhaimen does not have to be defended, the defense line can be extended to the grass bridge, forcing the rebels to deploy into the horse south of the grass bridge to deal with, In addition, send another 200 auxiliaries into the city, let them throw some stones and javelins on the city, and if necessary, they can also kill, our white spoon auxiliaries will not be worse than the ordinary battalion soldiers, and the 400 cavalry trained by the subordinates according to the instructions of the big entry should be twice as normal, which is enough to ensure that the camp here is safe. โ€

Chen Xin nodded after listening, he had accepted Zhu Guobin's proposal, because he had planned this battle for a long time, he wanted to gain benefits, but he didn't want to lose too much, and he had some gains and losses, Zhu Guobin didn't know so many tricks, but he was able to grasp the key points at once.

Zhu Guobin saw Chen Xin's approval, and then said: "The rebels are robbing and killing in the city today, and the capital is scattered everywhere, and the situation reported by Zhou Shifa also said that the city is still very chaotic, and it is impossible to gather troops at night, even if Li Jiucheng can collect the army, the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, it is impossible to train those chaotic soldiers and people into an army overnight, Dai Zheng Gangming rรฌ should be able to arrive, it is not us who should be in a hurry, after the Ming Dynasty, we only need to stick to the camp of Mishenshan and Zhenhaimen Urn City, we do not go out of the camp, and the rebels will not be able to determine the number of horses we have entered with a white spoon." , In addition, you can also use a sub-plan, escort a group of newly captured rebels out of the camp before dawn, change into some clothes and helmets, and return from the direction of Qixia after dawn, the rebels can't really see it in the city, and will only think that there are more horses to arrive. โ€

Chen Xin admired Zhu Guobin even more, according to Zhu Guobin's expression several times, he was more suitable to be the chief of staff than Liu Pojun, but Chen Xin also thought that Zhu Guobin was very decisive, and in the current era when communication basically relied on his legs, it was more useful to be the chief officer on the front line.

Zhu Guobin's words made his heart feel a lot more stable, and after thinking about it again, he spoke: "Let the Eighth Division gather the team and enter the Zhenhai Gate, and after entering the city, use the battle group to attack the east of the city, and make an offensive illusion near the grass bridge to attract the rebel troops, and the rest of the troops outside the city will take turns to rest after cleaning the camp of Mishenshan." After he finished speaking, he said to the adjutant beside him, "Sue Zhou Shifa, if Li Jiucheng is sent to Zhenhaimen to negotiate, talk to him and delay the time." โ€
