Chapter 299 Whether it works or not, I won't know until I hit it

"A group of turtles dare to come to the Dengzhou camp to shout!" Wu Zhi's male duck was shouting again, but this was after Lu Xiangsheng took people away. When Lu Xiangsheng's face was real, he still gave face. Chang Shiren didn't say anything, and looked at him with a smile. I didn't want to show off my strength, but the purpose of doing this was to deter some ill-intentioned guys, so be prepared.

Whether it is Lu Xiangsheng or his subordinates who are present today, they really cheated the Dengzhou battalion, and they will wait for Chen Xie's revenge in the future.

Lu Xiangsheng, who returned to the camp, looked a little weird, and the generals under his command also had strange expressions. Especially Deng Xi, who looks like he is dressed in scale armor and majestic, is even more eccentric. There are not many things that the Tianxiong Army has taken out, which is crossbows. If you really want to deal with the perverted army of the Shangdengzhou battalion, this crossbow really has no room to play.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, and the Dengzhou camp I saw in the morning was still not wearing armor. Looking at it again in the afternoon, everyone in Nima has armor, that kind of chain mail, everyone also tried it, and the weight is very light, but about ten catties. The knife looked like a white mark, and it was clear that the crossbow bolts would not do much of a difference. Even if you shoot within 100 meters, it won't cause much damage, at most it will cause a small red dot on your body.

The equipment of the Tianxiong Army is enough to fight the thieves, but if you want to fight the Dengzhou battalion, I am afraid that it will be ugly to die. No wonder this army can fight Jiannu, or large-scale annihilation.

In the morning, the sound of the horn was long and soothing, the Dengzhou battalion began to pull out the camp, and the Tianxiong army also began to pack up and hit the road. It was just an hour, and it was just a little brighter. The first wave of the Dengzhou battalion has already left the camp and hit the road.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had been paying attention to the Dengzhou camp, had nothing to say when he saw this scene. It's all the fifth watch camp, and everyone is now on the road, and the Tianxiong Army is still sorting out the objects in the camp.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the Tianxiong army began to hit the road, and Lu Xiangsheng came to the Dengzhou camp, where he saw that the trailing convoy and five hundred cavalry were still there, and he also saw Wu Zhi, the supervising army. With some politeness, Wu Zhi said: "The Dengzhou battalion has the largest military order, even if it is the supervising army." In wartime, it is also subject to the commander General Chang. This statement. Lu Xiangsheng was fiercely surprised. The prison army of the Ming Dynasty is rarely like this.

The baggage team of the Dengzhou battalion, once again the eyes of the Tianxiong Army did not turn, how many carts is this. A long dragon. I couldn't see it before. It's really speechless at the moment. Is this a war or a move?

Wu Zhi led five hundred cavalry, followed the baggage soldiers and the people on the road, and after careful observation. Yang Lukai came back to report: "In this dog Ridenzhou camp, the people have a knife and half-body chain mail. ”

Lu Xiangsheng watched the Dengzhou camp disappear with great vigour, and said with a smile: "This big victory can be expected." ”

It was Wang Ben who took the lead, with a mixed brigade, and the scout team was released for fifty miles, all the way south. Displaced people were everywhere along the way, hiding a hundred paces away and peeping, and no one dared to approach the marching brigade. Some homeless people who couldn't run were lying not far from the main road, with less air in and more out of air, numbly watching the march of the Dengzhou battalion.

Wang Ben was in the team, looking at these homeless people who fell to the ground with the same numbness, knowing very well that when they went away, these people might be eaten by their own kind. After a period of travel to Henan, the Dengzhou camp was as hard as iron. Don't look at the amount of food you bring, it's only enough to eat for two months, you have to save food, and you have to guard against friendly forces.

After the 2nd, the Dengzhou battalion threw the Tianxiong army twenty miles away, and even the logistics baggage troops walked much faster than them. In fact, Chang Shiren still took it and left, and the Tianxiong army walked up to sixty miles a day.

When camping in the afternoon of this day, Wu Zhi found Chang Shiren and said: "General Chang, is the marching speed of our army a little faster, wait for the Tianxiong army?" Chang Shiren nodded and said: "This is my negligence, I thought that the chief soldier praised Lu Xiangsheng and felt that he could go faster, who would have thought that it would be at this speed." ”

At this time, the scout Kuaima reported: "A large number of thieves have been found, and they are in Huanglongtan, twenty miles away." The number of people is not clear, there are too many. Wu Zhi was taken aback and jumped up. Chang Shiren immediately gathered everyone together and held an analysis meeting against the map.

"Wang Ben, tomorrow I will add 1,000 men to you, a mixed battalion of 2,000 men, two artillery squads, two hundred swords and shields, 1,000 musketeers, 500 spearmen, and grenadiers. No problem, right? Chang Shiren glanced at Wang Ben, he didn't want him to play as a striker, after all, the daughter-in-law he just married, it is hard to say whether he left a seed, but Wang Ben insisted, so he had to go with him.

"No problem, early tomorrow morning, I will go straight to Wulin Pass, pretending to be a lone army in depth, and luring the thieves to attack."

"What's the terrain like in this area?" Chang Shiren asked the guide provided by the firm and got an answer: "There are many woods, and it is not easy to walk." It is difficult to deploy a large army. Chang Shiren looked at the map and said: "Wang Ben, I will take the main force to take the path straight into the ditch, you must hold on for a day, the spearmen will not give it to you, I will take it." The Cross Gun Brigade has limited mobility, and the Six-Pounder Gun Brigade is also left to you. You hold out for a long time, wait for me to attack from the flank, and remember, even if the thief retreats, don't pursue. ”

Huanglongtan, the big camp of Ma Huihui, is actually not a camp. The homeless people everywhere eat together, and there are only more than 10,000 people who can really fight, and the others are cannon fodder. There are 100,000 people here, and in the entire Yunyang area, the number of people in the group is the largest, and there are more than 10 large and small thieves, more than 50,000 or 60,000, and 10,000 or 20,000 less, all looking for food in the Yunyang area. and where it passes, it is like a plague of locusts passing through. It's summer, it's okay, and some of the wild vegetables and leaves are eaten.

was beaten by Qin Liangyu in Sichuan, and Ma turned around, which will echo Gao Yingxiang's department in Hannan. If you want to talk about intelligence or something, there are thieves too, but there are few pitiful. This will be back with dozens of big and small leaders, drinking and eating meat, while discussing where to go next.

"At the beginning of the year, the Eight Kings hit Xiangyang once and hit a nail. We can't go to Xiangyang anymore and go north. ”

While they were discussing, a man came in and said loudly: "A group of officers and soldiers came, and they beat one guy at night, and one of the fifty or so people came back, and one was seriously wounded, saying that it was twenty miles away." The number of people is not too much, that is, five or six thousand people. ”

Ma Hui turned back to face the fierce, his expression was hideous, and he heard the news and said in a low voice: "Five or six thousand is not a lot, how many people is Cao Wenzhao?" How many people are there? This is at least a total soldier, the foundation of 5,000 soldiers, 1,000 people, how can the family get 500, it is a hard bone, to fight or not to fight, let's talk about it. ”

"If you don't fight, you will starve to death. While you still have some strength, let's fight. "Everyone, you say a word to me, the scene is chaotic. Ma Hui had a gloomy face, looking at the dispute of the crowd, his eyes hesitating.

After Chang Shiren's plan was confirmed, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng, who received the news, asked the messenger: "Why don't you wait for my main force to follow?" What is good if you start a war without authorization and lose? ”

The messenger said, "The little one doesn't know, but he was ordered to report the news." Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand to signal him to go down, and Yang Tinglin came over and said, "Arrogant! Just leave them alone. Yang Lukai came in, and when he heard this, he said: "What Zanhua said is right, our army is short of food and grass, and we can only eat for three days if we save food." The Dengzhou battalion brought so much provisions, not to mention a little. ”

Deng Xi followed in and said: "What Yang Zhangmu said is reasonable, our army is too busy to take care of itself, how can we have the energy to take care of them." “

Yang Tinglin said: "Don't talk nonsense, people's supplies are bought with money, and it is people's own ability to be rich in Dengzhou Camp." ”

Yang Lukai crooked his mouth and said in a low voice: "Let's go and talk to them, the brothers don't have anything to eat, they have a bite to eat, and they can catch up with them tomorrow." Yang Tinglin saw that Lu Xiangsheng's face was expressionless, and he seemed unwilling to do so, so he smiled and said, "Let's all go out and let Zhongcheng be quiet." ”

Out of the big tent, Yang Tinglin said in a low voice: "Prepare fifty horses, I will go to the Dengzhou camp." ”

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a long time, seemed to have made a decision, raised his hand to slap the case and stood up, and was about to give an order, but found that there was no one. Exclaimed: "Why are they all gone?" At the door, Deng Xi came in and arched his hand: "Humble duty." ”

"What about Yang Zanhua?" Lu Xiangsheng asked about Yang Tinglin, and Deng Xi smiled: "He took fifty horsemen to the Dengzhou camp, no, it's still early, and he can arrive before dark." Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "This Yang Boxiang is really nonsense." ”

Before dark, Yang Tinglin rushed to the Dengzhou camp station, and Chang Shiren and Wu Zhi heard the news to greet him. When he met, Yang Tinglin said: "Our army doesn't have much grain and grass, so I'm here to ask for help." Wu Zhi's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he was about to fight back, but Chang Shiren raised his hand and pressed his hand, and said lightly: "It's easy to say, it should be." However, I have a request, and I would like to ask you to grant it. ”

Yang Tinglin didn't have an embarrassed expression at all, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it first." ”

Chang Shiren said: "I plan to take a unit to attack lightly, take a small road straight into Qijiagou, and attack from the flank." Our cavalry is only 500 men, and if you don't collect it at night, there are only 800 people. If you can, the Tianxiong army will lend me a thousand cavalry, and I will give you five days' rations. ”

Yang Tingxuan looked at him and said with a smile: "What, our army is only twenty miles behind, so you plan to go it alone?" I'm not afraid to hold on. ”

Chang Shiren was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's okay or not, you have to fight to know." You just say borrow or not. ”

Yang Tingxuan looked up and down, and was about to take over the conversation, when the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and Lu Xiangsheng actually chased after him with a few people. The group stepped forward and asked the reason, Lu Xiangsheng said strangely: "You plan to use two thousand cavalry to copy the back road?" ”

Chang Shiren said with a smile: "It's not two thousand cavalry, our army has a large number of livestock, which can be used for marching." I'm going to take all the lightly armed troops and light field artillery units and give the thieves a hard blow from behind. ”

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand very decisively and said, "Okay, no problem." You will give you five days' rations, and I will give you all the two thousand light horsemen in my hand. But with 2,000 people, you have to take care of other people's food. ”

Chang Shiren smiled: "No problem! He said to Wu Zhidao: "Prison army, send them ten carts of fried noodles." (To be continued......)
