Chapter 51: The Night Battle

β€”β€”When the night came, the first army of Guangling was encamped, Luzhuangβ€”β€”

Luzhuang is a village with a large family surnamed Lu outside the capital of Guangling River, and there are only more than ten households in the whole village. This form of village formation in which tenant farmers settled around the extended families who hired them was not uncommon in the Han Dynasty.

However, now, it has become a temporary cantonment place for the First Army of Guangling, and it is the last line of defense against the rebels.

"Are the rebels really going to attack at night? Fighting two battles a day, the energy of those people is too good, right? ”

Behind a mound bunker, Li Tong lay with his back against the clods of earth, his hands pillowed, and he was quite puzzled by the order to prepare for war issued by the general account of this army. After all, during the day, the rebels had just conquered Pinqiao, and with a thunderous blow, the Guangling army retreated about fifteen miles, although the defeat of the Guangling army was only a certain link to lure the enemy deep after Shan Fu's explanation.

"This is the judgment of the military general ledger!"

Lu Min, who had just been promoted to Dubo, frowned, and glanced at this powerful subordinate under his command, as if he was dissatisfied with Li Tong's lack of attention in the slightest.

Speaking of which, although General Chen Qi seemed to have a lot of hostility towards the Twenty-six Accounts, for some reason he still promoted Lu Min's rank in the army, from a squad commander who commanded a hundred people to a Du Bo who was in charge of a team of three hundred people, and even transferred soldiers to make up the establishment, in other words, the number of soldiers that Lu Min could lead at the moment has reached three hundred, which is already a force that can play a key role in a small-scale battlefield.

"The judgment of the general account of the army......" Shan Fu lowered his head and muttered.

The general ledger of the army refers to the command level of an army, and in their first army in Guangling, it undoubtedly refers to the general Yang Qi, in other words, the order to guard against the night attack of the rebels was issued by General Yang Qi.

[So it seems that my judgment is accurate, and General Yang Qi's faint move during the day is only to induce the rebels to cross the river.] Moreover, most of the generals of the rebel army were also aware of this...... If the rebels really come to attack at night...... In other words, the rebels probably expected that one of our reinforcements was attacking them behind...... What a keen battlefield intuition, worthy of being a general who leads the soldiers! ]

Shan Fu clenched his fists with some excitement, he thought that the generals of the two armies were just like this, and they might not be as good as him, but the repeated fighting methods of Yang Qi, the general of the Guangling Army, and Gong Yu, the general of the rebel army, made him have to admit that the intuition of those experienced generals on the battlefield is far from being comparable to that of a fledgling novice like him.

"Wisdom and Strategy...... Can it really decide the outcome of a war? Shan Fu's eyes were distracted for a moment, and a man with a stern expression couldn't help but jump up in his mind.

[Martial arts, stop at 10,000 enemies; And the wise man has 100,000 armor soldiers in his chest......]

[The courage of the horseman, invincible Wen Taowu strategy......]

Although Shan Fu didn't want to admit it, his personal experience was enough to prove that the teachings of those teachers he had disdained were indeed the truth of this world.

But......

"Would you rather have brilliant talents in your chest than present them to the world?" The corners of his mouth flashed with a mocking sneer, and Shan Fu muttered to himself.

[Case said: It's not the right time!] ]

"Foolish!" Shan Fu pursed his lips again.

"......" beside Shan Fu, Zhang Huang glanced at Shan Fuzheng, who was obviously distracted, muttering something to himself, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Dafu?" ”

Awakened by Zhang Huang's words, Shan Fu shook his head slightly, and after taking a deep breath, said with a wry smile, "Somehow, I suddenly remembered the enlightenment teacher who taught me my studies when I was in Yingchuan. ”

"A teacher?" Li Tong suddenly became interested, and asked curiously, "Why have I never seen you mention it?" Is it famous? I've heard that the scribes of Yingchuan are very famous. ”

Shan Fu pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

"I don't know......

"What! Don't you even know if your teacher is famous? You deserve to be a student. Li Tong pursed his lips speechlessly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a low drink from Du Bo Lu Min not far away.

"Silence!"

Li Tong closed his mouth in a daze, while Shan Fu lowered his head slightly, with a somewhat inexplicable look on his face.

[Famous?] That's the man known as 'Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming Unparalleled'! Whether a single sentence is famous or not, how can it reflect that man's talent and prestige? Just ......]

Shan Fu glanced up at the night sky.

[Seek yourself, seek the master, and then seek the world...... Master Xun, I still can't understand your words! ]

"......" Zhang Huang looked at Shan Fu silently, and did not interject rashly, after all, he could see that Shan Fu was not willing to reveal this heart.

"It's coming!" A whisper from Dubor Lu Min woke up the bored crowd.

[Are you coming?] ]

Zhang Huang, who tensed his nerves for the first time, lay his whole body on the ground, squinted his eyes and looked into the dark distance, only to see that in the darkness in the distance, there were faint figures moving.

[General Yang Qi guessed right!] ]

Shan Fu also gathered his mind again, and suddenly, his eyes changed slightly.

[Is it not a sneak attack, but a strong attack?!] ]

Just as Shan Fu's face was stunned, there was a sudden terrifying shouting of killing in the darkness in the distance, as if those rebel soldiers didn't care at all that the loud sound would alarm the guards in Lu Zhuang. In other words, they had long known that the Guangling army would definitely take precautions tonight, so they didn't even think about whether to quietly attack the village.

"Damn, it's been put on the table!"

Chen Qi, the general who commanded the battle here, immediately jumped out of the ambush pit dug on both sides, waved the blade in his hand and shouted, "All the men should fight!" The archers took fifty steps back to form a formation, and the Lu Min team blocked the Zhuang Gate! ”

Let's ask, what is the difference between a sneak attack and a strong attack?

The answer is troops!

Although General Yang Qi had already expected that the rebels would attack Luzhuang tonight, he misestimated the response of the rebel general Gong Xu, and he could not have imagined that Gong Yu would suppress all the 10,000 troops in his hands, which made the Guangling First Army, which originally wanted to fight an ambush war, make a big joke.

"What's going on? Isn't that Gong Yu a very careful and cautious person? How could it be possible to suddenly overwhelm all the troops?! Wang Zhuo, the chief who had been transferred to Lu Min's command, exclaimed.

That's right, judging from the previous few encounters, the rebel general Gong Yu is obviously not a gambler-style general, and will never put all his eggs in the same basket, therefore, Yang Qi judged that Gong Yu would only send a maximum of 3,000 to 5,000 troops to attack Luzhuang this time, but Yang Qi still had nearly 3,000 troops in his hands, plus the Guangling Fang Yi Army that had been placed in the area of Luzhuang before, it is no exaggeration to say that the Guangling Army will not be much less than the rebels in terms of strength, if the ambush of the rebels succeeds in taking the lead, Even if it is to completely annihilate this force of 3,000 to 5,000, it is not impossible.

However, Gong Yu unexpectedly invested all his troops, as if he was a gambler who had lost a red eye, which made the small army of General Chen Qi arranged to ambush the rebels suffer a loss, and had to reconvene some of the troops sent out to ambush from all over Luzhuang, so as not to be broken by the absolute strength advantage of the enemy.

"Is that what it means to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot?" Seeing the anxious appearance of General Chen Qi in the distance, Li Tong laughed, snatched the spear from the hand of the soldier beside him, and took the lead in rushing towards the village gate regardless of his sluggish expression.

"Grasshoppers on the same rope, don't gloat!" Zang Ba and Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly and followed Li Tong closely.

"Let's go too!" It's a pity that Zhang Huang, who couldn't be promoted with Lu Min's promotion, didn't care that he was just a chief, and gave an order to counterattack in front of the three uncles and even Du Bo Lu Min, so that Wang Zhuo, the uncle on the side, was obviously stunned for a moment.

"This ......" Uncle Wang Zhuo glanced at his friend Lu Min with a strange expression, and it was obvious that the expression on the latter's face froze.

[Stinky Boy...... In front of the three uncles, I don't know how to save some face for Pontus......]

Lu Min smacked his lips, he knew that since there were Zhang Huang and the others in front, there should be no problem in command, so he raised his arms and shouted, "General Chen Qi's Qu Department, gather here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang from the village gate in the distance, and the seemingly solid village gate obviously could not stop the attack of the 10,000 rebels, even for a moment, more than a dozen strong rebel soldiers and soldiers worked together to knock the entire door out.

"Good!" When a rebel chief saw that Zhuangmen was conquered, he smiled with excitement and joy on his face, raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, kill into ......"

At this moment, his voice stopped abruptly, and he saw an arrow pierce his skull with a pop, and the blood splattered out made the surrounding rebel soldiers stunned.

They subconsciously looked in the direction where the arrows were flying, but saw a young man who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old standing in front of the Guangling soldiers, holding a longbow, and slowly lowering his right hand to draw the bow.

"Well done, Ziyi!"

Li Tong didn't have to think about it to know that this was Tai Shi Ci's doing, after all, in such a dim environment, he shot an enemy commander with a bow and arrow so accurately, only Tai Shi Ci, who was good at archery, could do it. This guy's bow skills are far more accurate and terrifying than spear skills.

"Damn it! Kill β€”β€”! ”

A rebel commander replaced the unlucky ghost who had been shot by Tai Shi Ci with a bow and arrow just now, and gave the order to attack the rebel soldiers behind him. For a while, the rebel soldiers, who were startled by Tai Shici's archery skills, came back to their senses and brandished the weapons in their hands and entered the village. However, they were greeted by Zhang Huang, Zang Ba, Li Tong, Chen Dao, Tai Shici and other elite soldiers who were not good at talking, as well as the defense line formed by Du Bo Lu Min and the three subordinate elders.

"Aha! Aha! Aha! ”

Li Tong, who wielded a spear, was simply a terrifying killing weapon, this guy alone killed countless rebels, but seeing the heavy shadow of the gun, those rebel soldiers who killed him were all shot away by the heavy iron spear, either dead or wounded.

Because the scene was so terrifying, even his own Guangling soldiers didn't dare to get too close, lest this guy's obvious way of picking up guns and enemies would knock everyone away.

"What a strong arm!"

Uncle Wang Zhuo's eyes lit up, and as soon as a heartfelt admiration came out, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Zhi's figure.

Contrary to Li Tong's domineering and fierce way, Chen Zhi was like a shadow that followed him, only to see that among the countless rebel soldiers, several rebels were killed with a flick of the spear, and what was even more incredible was that this guy held a gun in one hand and a short sword in his left hand, killing those who took the opportunity to sneak up on him one by one.

The tricky attack and swift skill, this kind of battle that is not like a ranger fighting on the battlefield made Wang Zhuo breathtaking.

Compared with Li Tong and Chen Zhi, Zang Ba's battle is much more regular, and he is not inferior to Li Tong in terms of destructive power when he uses an iron gun as a stick, but he has a steady temperament and attacks in coordination with his own soldiers, so he is not as brilliant as Li Tong.

Putting aside Shan Fu, the current pure commander, I am afraid that Zhang Huang's appearance is the most decent, he just led the soldiers behind him to frequently attack the weak points of the enemy's forces, and the sword in his right hand was not stained with blood a few times, but Du Bo Lu Min was extremely satisfied with him. After all, Zhang Huang brilliantly shouldered the role of guiding the team, and did what a military attache at the level of commander or commander should do on the battlefield, that is, to command and guide the soldiers under his command, so as not to make them confused and not know what to do.

Of course, if there is a need for resistance that he must step forward, Zhang Huang will naturally not pretend to others, just like the rebel uncle who jumped out to block his team's way, he was killed by Zhang Huang in just one round, and the speed and strength of his sword greatly increased the morale of the soldiers behind him.

"You don't even use a rigid body? Is it a light enemy? ”

While the morale behind him raised his arms and shouted, Zhang Huang looked at the rebel uncle who was killed and beheaded under the sword in a daze, wondering why this guy didn't use his rigid body.

Lu Min, who had killed him from his side, noticed Zhang Huang's muttering, and said angrily, "Do you think that as long as you are an uncle, everyone will have a rigid body?" ”

Zhang Huang was stunned, and he immediately remembered that an uncle like Lu Min who had mastered the rigid body was a local elite county lieutenant and a lieutenant carefully selected by the old assassin Shi Zang Min from various counties and counties in Yangzhou, and their strength was completely different from that of the rebel army.

In this way, it is no wonder that before the war, Tai Shici shot an arrow to kill a rebel commander before the war, not that the other party was light, the problem was that the other party did not have a rigid body at all, so how could it be used.

"Seems to think too much of the rebels?"

Zhang Huang, who realized something, showed a little smile on his face, thinking about it, how can the heritage of a small Huiji County be compared with the entire Yangzhou?

And Li Tong, Tai Shici, Zang Ba, and Chen Zhi, who rushed to the front, also seemed to realize this, and after realizing that the enemy's uncle was not as they imagined, they gradually let go of their hands and feet when they fought, after all, an enemy who does not know a rigid body, even if the military rank is as high as Uncle Chang and Du Bo, then what is there to fear?

It is hard to imagine that the rebel army, which obviously has an absolute advantage in numbers, is facing many elite uncles and uncles led by General Chen Qi, and it is difficult to open up the situation for a while, which makes the faces of several generals in the rebel army gradually become embarrassed.

Suddenly, Zhang Huang and the others only felt that the light in front of them was dim, and a strong man with a height of more than nine feet crossed the crowd and blocked their way. The burly figure made Zhang Huang's entire team tremble slightly. Especially when they saw the strong man grab the head of a Guangling sergeant with his huge palm and pinch it alive in the air.

[uh......]

Zhang Huang was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that there was such a tall man in the world, he definitely couldn't call himself short in front of the other party, I was afraid that he could only reach his waist.

"This body type...... Foul, right? ”

Seeing the strong man pick up the iron spear as thick as an arm, and sweep away more than a dozen Guangling soldiers effortlessly with just one sweep, Zhang Huang felt a little bitter in his mouth.

"Shoot the arrows! Use this huge size as a target...... Shoot the arrows! Behind Zhang Huang, Wang Zhuo, the uncle who had been robbed of the limelight by him for a while, finally reflected his quality as an uncle, and thought of the best way to deal with it at the first time.

But......

"Dingdingding-"

A series of clanging clangs rang out on the strong man's body, and when he lowered his hands to his face, the soldiers of the Guangling Army were shocked to find that their enemy was unharmed by the rain of arrows.

"Sure enough......" Zhang Huang's mouth flashed a wry smile, because before that, he had already sensed the strength of the other party from the surging qi of the other party.

"Oh-"

This almost superficial scene instantly raised the morale of the surrounding rebel soldiers, and many rebel soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Worthy of General Yuan Han!"

"Up, General Yuan Han, once again lead us to step over the corpses of the enemy......"

The shouts one after another made the corners of Zhang Huang's eyes twitch slightly.

[will...... Army? ]

In an instant, the air on the side of the Guangling Army seemed to be stagnant, as if the word general was accompanied by endless deterrence.
