Chapter 7 The Snow Night Strikes Huayang

The Han army has a big tent, and the prince has a calm face.

It was dark outside. Just like yesterday, the cold wind drove the scouts of the Zhao and Wei coalition back to the warm camp. None of the Coalition scouts like to camp in the snow and ice. If the weather is too cold, if you want to survive the cold night, you need to make a fire to keep warm, and the fire will be the best target in the dark night.

When it was confirmed that the enemy scouts had retreated, at three o'clock, the prince summoned the generals in the name of the main general, Storm Kite.

In the past two days, under the strict and almost impersonal military discipline of the crown prince, the Korean army's actions were orderly. The love of the violent kite and the prince seems to have infected everyone, and the captains and military marquis are also slightly less nervous, and the pre-war depression has been greatly weakened.

The prince looked at the energetic generals in the tent, and was very satisfied.

Tonight's battle is all thanks to the command of these captains and marquis. Although they have fought countless defeats before, and even served as deserters. But tonight's battle is a battle for the whole of Korea, including them. Naturally, the crown prince would not allow a cowardly person to kill a thousand troops.

"Wei and Zhao are unkind, offend my Korea, and kill my people. Although the strength of our army is weak, our Korean men are iron-clad, and they cannot be allowed to run rampant. "Storm Kite began to do the final pre-war mobilization.

"Now they deceive us into weakness and pride, and they will not defend ourselves. Therefore, I have decided to attack Huayang City tonight and use their blood to promote the prestige of our Korea. ”

"The generals will listen to the order: Eat at four o'clock tonight, and go out at the next hour. Human rank ring, horse bit branch. Violators will be killed! Fear the enemy and not cut the former! Storm Kite said sternly.

"Gongsun Zhong, Zhang Meng, Tian Hu."

"The last general!"

"You led the heavy cavalry to raid the enemy's camp from the east, west, and south. You must pierce me hard, and where there is resistance, let me disperse them as soon as possible. They must not be allowed to gather! ”

"Order!" Tian Hu and the others shouted loudly with a straight face.

"Zhang Fang, Han Zhongming, Ma Jun and others took 7,000 light horsemen and set fire to the enemy camp. Make the enemy camp as chaotic as possible! Ben would have liked this fire to burn down every enemy camp, do you understand! ”

"Understood!"

When the tyrannical kite finished announcing the military order, a voice said: "Tyrant General, leave me eight hundred heavy cavalry, and I will also attack with the army." But it was the prince who made an astonishing request.

"Childe, by all means." The storm kite hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

There are no eyes on the battlefield, and if the prince loses something, it is definitely not a pain that South Korea can bear.

"Childe, don't be in danger! It's okay to charge into battle with us, the body of the child's daughter, just sit in the rear! The generals were also opposed.

Finally, South Korea has a promising and inspirational prince, and there is really no room for mistakes.

There is one sentence that no one has said, that is, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, there is hope for South Korea if the prince is still alive. If the prince fails to fight, even if he wins, the gains outweigh the losses.

The crown prince waved his hand and scolded with a smile, "I know your thoughts, but when the national disaster is at hand, I share weal and woe with you." The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. I'm not just a prince, I'm also a Korean. One day, I will let the whole world know that those who offend Korea will be punished even if they are far away. Tonight's battle is an example. What's more, before the expedition, I said that I would live and die with you Korean hot-blooded men. Needless to say, it is an honor to be able to fight hand in hand with you. After speaking, the prince bowed deeply.

All the generals were embarrassed, but their blood was boiling, and their hearts were very moved. Seeing that he couldn't convince the prince, the tyrant had to agree.

"Tian Hu, the safety of the son is in your hands. If Childe has the slightest mistake, you don't have to come to see me. "The violent kite strictly ordered.

"Yes! General, don't worry. I will never let my son lose a single hair, and if I can't do it, I will be raised by my turtle son. ”

Tian Hu's answer caused laughter in the big tent, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

The crown prince couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Tian Qianjiang, don't worry, I won't let you become a turtle grandson." In a word, the laughter in the big tent was louder, dispelling the tension before the battle.

"General Tyrant, tonight, General Tian Qian and I will lead eight hundred heavy cavalry to raid the commander of the enemy camp. If you succeed, it's easy to win. I'll build yΓ¬ and give this assault force a name, let's call it Tiger Ride! ”

Tian Hu was furious when he heard Tai Ziran's words, if the name of Tiger Rider can be recognized, it will be the first army in South Korea to have a number. If the night attack is successful, he will also be famous as the first manager.

"Good! Son. As you said, the assault heavy cavalry unit is called the Tiger Cavalry. Tian Hu, as the first coach of the Tiger Ride, you must not fall into the majesty of the Tiger Ride! The violent kite looked at Tian Hu with an excited face, and was sincerely happy for this henchman, and instructed at the moment.

"Yes! Checkmate. Tian Hu agreed cleanly.

"Gongsun Zhong, Zhang Meng" The violent kite looked at his other two henchmen.

"The last general!"

"Now I will change your mission, you will raid to the east and west respectively, and cooperate with the tiger cavalry to smash the enemy's military tent."

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

The generals disbanded and returned to their camps to assemble their troops. Sue sΓΉ children, don't bloody Zhao and Wei camps tonight, and swear not to return to the army! The South Korean army will win! "The storm kite gave the final military order.

"Victory!" The generals shouted, and then disbanded.

Just after the time of the child, the officers and men of the Korean army who had a full meal gathered in high spirits, especially the 800 heavy cavalry now named Tiger Cavalry, and their spirits were even more vibrant.

Now the whole army already knows that Huayang will be attacked at night tonight, and the prince will also go out with the army, so the morale is high. Although the road is difficult, thinking that the rich rewards and the high-ranking prince will kill the enemy with him, he has no complaints in his heart.

Looking at the soldiers in the audience, Prince Ran said: "Fellow soldiers, I, Han Ran, only have two words to say here. The first sentence is to fight with you, and it is an honor to be of course. The second sentence is that South Korea will win, brothers, let us let the Wei people and Zhao people raised by the son of a son of a dog taste the power of our Changge! Let's go! ”

The mighty Korean army rushed out, and no one spoke.

The whole team marched towards Huayang City one foot deep and one foot shallow, the snow was already deep enough to reach people's knees, and the cold wind was cold, but everyone looked at the prince who couldn't follow them at the front of the team, and felt a heat burning in their chests.

They don't know that this feeling is called faith. Prince Ran gritted his teeth and insisted, because he knew that he was the leader of the whole army at this time. Fortunately, everyone drank a big bowl of ginger soup before leaving, which supported everyone to move forward.

Storm Kite looked at the man beside him who was still a little childish but full of determination, and sighed in his heart, Zhao Guo, Wei Guo, you immediately know what a terrible person you have provoked.

In an instant, the storm kite remembered Wu Qi, who led Wei Wushu to run rampant in the world without any defeat. There is a commander who lives and dies with his soldiers, what enemy can such an army not be able to defeat!

At this moment, the crooked moon hid in the clouds, quietly watching the team on the earth. No one knew that a big war was brewing.

At the end of the day, after a long journey, the Korean army finally arrived at the small hillside five miles away from the camp of Zhao and Wei. The Han army created a miracle that was not big or small, marching 35 miles in the middle of the night for two hours.

After walking twenty-five miles of snow, the post road of the 20,000-strong army was presented to the Pingchuan River.

Five miles away from Huayang City, the prince immediately ordered the soldiers to hurry up and rest. At the same time, scouts were dispatched to reconnoiter the military situation. After giving these instructions, the prince sat down without grace and chatted with the soldiers beside him.

"What's your name and where do you live?"

"Hui Yu Gongzi" Dahan was a little nervous, "The villain's name is Zhang Ergou, and his family is from Xinzheng Fei County. ”

"Brother Zhang, how many people are in the family, how many acres of land, how is the year?" Prince Ran asked kindly.

Perhaps it was the prince's kind face that infected the big man, and the big man spoke a lot more neatly. "There are six people in the family, and there are two boys, the eldest is 12 years old and the younger is 8 years old." Speaking of children, Dahan's face was filled with a happy smile.

"The land is less than twenty acres. This year's harvest is better, and in previous years, it was barely strong. It all depends on the mother-in-law's good needlework, plus a few mulberry trees, to raise some silkworms. Thinking of the New Year, Dahan's eyes were a little sour.

Children are growing older, but they often don't have enough to eat. An acre of fertile land is only three or four quintals (one quintal is about 100 catties), and the yield per mu of thin land is even worse, generally one and a half quintals, and the annual situation is better like this year, there will be more than two quintals.

These grains have to pay taxes and field rents, and only three or four percent of them go to their own hands. I fought by myself and tried my best to earn some money to improve my family's life, but I was careful to guard against all kinds of dangers, for fear that once I died in battle, my family's life would be more difficult. Nine disasters in ten years, it is too rare to encounter a year of good wind and rain. Of course, these words were hidden in the heart of the big man and did not say.

"Twenty acres is a little less!" Prince Ran sighed, and the tears in the corners of the big man's eyes naturally fell on Prince Ran's eyes.

In ancient times, the yield per mu was low, the taxes were heavy, and the farmers were bitter! But it is these simple people who support the backbone of the nation, and whenever the country is in trouble and the nation is in trouble, they are all rushing to the front.

Their dreams are humble, to be well fed and clothed. But it was such a simple idea, and no dynasty ever realized it. It has to be said that this is a kind of sadness.

"But Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about it, life will get better and better. If you believe me, I can give you a guarantee that in 10, 10 years, I will keep the people of Korea from starving. Believe in the imperial court, good days are not far away. The prince said with confidence.

Looking at the energetic Prince Ran, Dahan was also excited. Isn't it a paradise life where everyone can be fed and clothed, and commoners can also enjoy this aristocratic life? For some reason, Dahan felt that Prince Ran exuded a convincing power. Maybe, no, it must be true!

After encouraging the Han Dynasty, the prince went to the cavalry camp again, chatting with the soldiers and feeding the horses.

Every soldier in the cavalry battalion was a little excited, the high-ranking prince Ran was actually with their group of soldiers, although this kind of behavior was graceless in the eyes of the doctors, but it warmed everyone's hearts. Everyone vowed to kill the enemy bravely tonight and live up to the love of the prince.

When the scouts came back and informed Prince SΓΉ of the results of the investigation, all preparations for the raid were ready. Sure enough, the combined forces of Zhao and Wei were silent, and they couldn't see anything clearly from a mile away from the thin fog, and the soldiers in charge of the guards were drowsy, which was conducive to a surprise attack.

If you don't win tonight, it will be the death of South Korea. The prince sighed in his heart.

At four o'clock, the whole army went to the place where the raid was launched according to the advance deployment. At five o'clock, with the charge of the tiger cavalry, the night attack of the Korean army against the combined forces of Zhao and Wei began!
