Chapter 196: Zhu Wen's bravery

It has been a few months since he surrendered or joined Li Rupei, and Zhu Wen felt quite depressed.

At the beginning, under the command of Huang Chao, although he did not belong to the orthodox court class, he was also able to receive attention, and whenever he encountered a major battle, he was able to lead the sergeants to fight in the front, which also allowed him to make a lot of military achievements, his status was gradually improved, and he became more and more important.

Becoming a member of the Iron Army, Zhu Wen really felt what a strong army is, he is a captain in the Iron Army, a standard middle-level officer, but he has to participate in a lot of training every day, not to mention him as a captain, even General Gao Chibang personally participated in training most of the time, the officers of the Iron Blood Army are actually the leaders who carry out many orders, and it is precisely because the officers take the lead in implementing many military disciplines and military regulations that the soldiers below naturally do better.

This is an army that cannot be defeated or dragged down.

This is Zhu Wen's true feeling of joining the Iron and Blood Army, that is, from this time on, Zhu Wen really admires and respects Li Rupei, the young Li Rupei can actually train such a tiger and wolf division, you must know that the predecessor of the Iron Blood Army is just a bandit who is active in Guanzhuang Town, Bazhou.

Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, rats give birth to holes, this is really not blowing, what is Li Rupei's identity, the standard royal disciple, the quality is different, in comparison, the Huang Chao, who is close to the sixtieth year, is definitely not Li Rupei's opponent.

Zhu Wen's mind slowly sank, as a temper like his, it was not easy to calm down.

Following Li Rupei, Zhu Wen thinks that it is his best choice, but under Li Rupei's command, he must really show his skills, otherwise according to his identity as a general who surrendered from Huang Chao's side, it is impossible to have much success.

The Iron Blood Army decided to attack Xiangyang, a decision that made Zhu Wen extremely excited. He believes that his opportunity to make contributions has come, as long as he can make great contributions on the battlefield and get Li Rupei's attention, he will be promoted, he will be able to gain greater power, he will have more opportunities to show himself, and finally he will be able to obtain glory and wealth.

Zhu Wen was not eligible to participate in the deployment made by Li Rupei, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao, but when Gao Chibang and Huang Biao implemented the deployment, Zhu Wen, who was the captain of the iron-blooded army. Finally got the chance to participate.

The former army and the Chinese army have been merged into one.

Huang Biao led 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army, responsible for attacking the soldiers of the Xiangyang Tooth Army around the barracks, and letting the 8,000 Tooth Army soldiers retreat in the direction of Xiangyang City, this combat task is not very arduous, in fact, this is also paving the way for the later operations, and there is no need for too much discussion and deployment, but the 30,000 troops led by Gao Chibang need to enter Xiangyang City in the middle of the night and need to take Xiangyang City in one fell swoop. That's not a very simple thing.

First of all, it is impossible for the 30,000 army to rush up in a swarm, in that case, the soldiers of the Tooth Army in Xiangyang City would have been frightened and would definitely close the city gate in the shortest possible time. Won't answer the outside Tooth Sergeant.

Therefore, this time the battle to attack the city of Xiangyang requires dangerous moves.

Li Rupei had already made a clear suggestion to let the soldiers of the 3,000 Iron Blood Army mix in with the soldiers of the Tooth Army who fled in a hurry. Take the opportunity to squeeze into the city of Xiangyang, desperately occupy the south gate, and wait for the rest of the army to enter the city. However, these two thousand to three thousand soldiers need to withstand tremendous pressure, and in the face of more than 20,000 Xiangyang Tooth Army, if they can't resist to the death, it will be the end of the annihilation of the entire army.

According to the plan and deployment of the battle, the distance between the army and the 3,000 soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Army was about five miles away, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to charge at the fastest speed, plus the rest of the delays, that is to say, the 3,000 Iron-Blooded soldiers had to face more than 20,000 Xiangyang Ya troops alone for more than a quarter of an hour.

Really entered the city of Xiangyang, so that the south gate could not be closed, the tooth army in the city naturally understood what it meant, and would definitely launch a crazy attack, and the pressure on the three thousand iron-blooded soldiers can be imagined.

Gao Chibang and Huang Biao are both deputy commanders of the army, and it is impossible to carry out such a task.

Just after this operational deployment was determined, when Gao Chibang and Huang Biao were looking for candidates, Zhu Wen took the initiative to stand up and asked to undertake this arduous task.

Zhu Wen is Gao Chibang's subordinate, and Gao Chibang has not paid special attention to this surrendered captain, but he still has some impressions of Zhu Wen's hard work in training. Leading 3,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to resist more than 20,000 soldiers of the Xiangyang Tooth Army, this task is extraordinary, and it is related to whether the Iron Blood Army can win a complete victory in this battle, so when Zhu Wen stood up and took the initiative to ask for help, Gao Chibang did not express his position at the first time.

All eyes were focused on Li Rupei.

Li Rupei's face had no expression, and he didn't expect that Zhu Wen would take the initiative to stand up and take on such a difficult task.

Zhu Wen in history is very famous, after all, it was this Zhu Wen who completely ended the world of the Li Tang royal family, overthrew the Tang Dynasty, and opened the prelude to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

But Li Rupei also knows that there is a reason why Zhu Wen has such a repetition, just imagine if the Tang Dynasty regime is particularly stable, how can Zhu Wen dare to rebel at will, it is precisely because of the chaos in the world that many talented people are ready to move, dreaming all kinds of dreams, leading to more and more complicated situations.

Having someone like Zhu Wen under his command is not necessarily a bad thing, such a person will remind you all the time, ask you to pay attention to everything well, and ask you not to grow stronger, only if you yourself are infinitely stronger, these people will sincerely follow along, will destroy those unrealistic thoughts in their hearts, and will purely think about glory and wealth.

People like Zhu Wen also have one of the greatest advantages, that is, they are brave in battle, and in the process of fighting, they can have some whimsical ideas and can achieve victory under extremely difficult circumstances.

"Very good, Captain Zhu took the initiative to undertake such a difficult task, and I am very pleased, but the three thousand iron-blooded soldiers are facing the Xiangyang Ya Army, which is close to 30,000, and I want to know what method you use to resist, waiting for the army to enter Xiangyang City."

Zhu Wen barely thought about it and quickly spoke.

"Marshal, this battle of resistance, the emphasis is on bravery, there is not much to take advantage of in the whole battle, if the subordinates can undertake this task, the first thing is to control the city gate, no matter how much sacrifice is paid, even if it is the last person to fight, you must firmly occupy the city gate and wait for the arrival of the army."

Li Rupei nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, this task will be completed by Lieutenant Zhu Wendu, there are three points that need to be reminded of you."

"The first point, how the three thousand soldiers can smoothly enter the south gate, this is very important, the Xiangyang Ya army stationed on the periphery of the barracks, after encountering the attack, will not make any resistance, swarming towards Xiangyang City, mixed in this team, into the south gate, can be said to be the next task."

"The second point, in the process of entering the south gate, there is a lot to do, thousands of people flock to the city gate at the same time, it will definitely be chaotic, how to grasp the initiative at this time, it is related to whether the resistance and defense behind can be done smoothly, there is only such a big place around the city gate, tens of thousands of people can not be opened, no matter how many people attack the Xiangyang Ya army, as long as they occupy a favorable terrain, they can ensure that the opponent's attack is frustrated."

"The third point, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, that is, the courage that Captain Zhu Wen said, this time the three thousand soldiers must pay a huge sacrifice, after all, the Xiangyang Tooth Army knows the consequences, and will spare no effort to launch an attack, any iron-blooded soldier, as long as he enters the south gate, must be nailed there like a nail, without the slightest wavering, without the slightest retreat, waiting for the arrival of the army."

Zhu Wen listened very carefully, and after Li Rupei finished speaking, Zhu Wen knelt on one knee.

"Obey the commander's orders, and his subordinates will do their best to ensure the completion of the task."

Gao Chibang quickly mobilized 3,000 elite soldiers of the Iron Army, and after a simple arrangement, the 3,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army followed Zhu Wen to leave the brigade and head in the direction of Xiangyang City.

Only Li Rupei and Gao Chibang were left in the Chinese military tent.

Gao Chibang had some worries, he didn't know if Zhu Wen would be able to successfully complete the task, after all, this task was too arduous and crucial, which was related to whether the Iron Blood Army could take Xiangyang City in the shortest possible time.

"Marshal, my subordinates think that they should send another part of the soldiers to assist Zhu Wen."

"There is no suspicion in employing people, General Gao, you can rest assured, Zhu Wen will definitely be able to complete the task."

Gao Chibang nodded, but his face was still very solemn.

"I know your worries, Zhu Wen used to be one of the four King Kongs under the command of Huang Chao, and he also took the initiative to defect to the command of X, and he has never been able to show his ability, when he encounters such an opportunity, how can Zhu Wen not cherish it, his fame is only in the army of Huang Chao, and he is still unknown in the iron-blooded army, this is a good opportunity, so I believe that Zhu Wen will be able to do his best to complete the task."

"What the marshal said is that his subordinates are too careful, and his subordinates just feel that the number of 3,000 soldiers is too small, and the pressure is too great to resist more than 20,000 Xiangyang Ya troops, and it takes a certain amount of time for the army to rush to the south gate."

"General Gao, any battle and killing, deployed in place, the rest is the performance of the soldiers, you and a certain dare not make a 100% guarantee in this regard, but you must believe that all the iron-blooded soldiers, they have gone through so many battles, they have shown extraordinary ability, and they have made any opponent fearful."
