Chapter 164: Surprise Attack (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Li Xiucheng listened to Li Kaifang's thoughts, immediately took off his military uniform, which was white underwear, walked to the snow and asked the generals: "You see that this method is feasible." ”
Bai Yinwu's eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise: "If it weren't for the fact that the Great Marshal of the Dao Dao was standing here in advance, he really couldn't tell the difference, and if the Great Marshal put a white cover on his head, even if he walked in front of me, he might not be able to find it, and the last general would think that this method was feasible." ”
Li Xiucheng put his arm in front of his eyes, and sure enough, he was connected to the snow, smiled with satisfaction, and immediately ordered: "Choose five hundred elites, all change into white clothes, set off in an hour, and the army will follow, once the five hundred soldiers attack the camp, the army will then cover up." ”
"Obedience"
Bai Yinwu looked at his dress with satisfaction, in order to prevent accidents, even his shoes were painted white, and only two eyes were exposed all over his body, and five hundred people slowly walked out of the camp, walking on the snow-white ground, silent and weird.
Li Xiucheng blinked, and found that the front commando had disappeared, and hurriedly asked Li Chunfa, "Where is the front commando?" ”
Li Chunfa looked at Li Xiucheng in surprise, "Isn't it next to that tree?" Hey! Why is it gone, I just saw it! ”
Lin Fengxiang pointed to the footprints on the ground and explained: "In the rear, you can judge by the footprints, but as for the front, the last general doesn't know what to think?" ”
Li Xiucheng waved his hand: "The whole army is slowly following the footprints, and you are not allowed to light torches until you enter the Hunan army camp!" ”
The white moonlight reflected wisps of light on the snow-white ground, and at a glance you could see three feet away, plus the bright light of the torches. It was no different from the daytime, and such a good day and snow scene also made the Hunan army relax their vigilance. No longer send scouts to investigate. The night guards who were not on patrol were all huddled together and warmed up around the campfire.
"Zhao Erzi, it's your team's turn to patrol, don't forget to bring a sip of wine, this little wind can blow into people's bones!"
Zhao Erzi reluctantly stood up and shouted to a group of subordinates: "Brothers, all get up, get through this hour, everyone can go back to sleep!" Cheer me up, do you hear! ”
"I know the way"
"What the hell is the weather. The short hair is nested in the bed, how can it come out to fight! ”
"Only our little soldiers are the hardest, and the officials all sleep with their mothers in their arms."
"Nonsense, where did the ladies come from in the barracks, if there is, I Li Niu will be the first to go up, even if he dies, he will be willing."
"Phew! Erniu, just because you are a big-headed soldier and still want to sleep with a girl, you can sleep again when you dream. ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......"
Zhao Erzi scolded with a smile: "You bastards. They are all neighbors, and everyone who doesn't know who they are, they are all big singles, and they still want to sleep with girls. To you little ladies, will you sleep? ”
Li Niu rubbed his hands on the bonfire for the last time, and replied seriously: "My mother said it." When I have saved up enough fifty taels of silver, he will tell me the most beautiful little lady. It is the green flower of the neighboring village. ”
"I said Erniu, Cuihua is obviously the first thing I took a fancy to. How can you grab it with Lao Tzu, don't say fifty taels, it's useless for you to be a hundred taels! ”
Zhao Erzi scolded again: "You know a fart, Cuihua has already been married into the door by our sentinel, be careful to let the Wang sentinel hear it, and pick your skin!" ”
When everyone heard that the goddess in their minds had been married, they all let out an 'oh' in disappointment and began to fantasize about the next object.
"Let's go, our task this time is to turn around the north gate twice, everyone cheer up." Zhao Erzi reminded loudly again, and set off with a team of more than ten people.
Li Niu rubbed his eyes, stood in place and stared at the place outside the camp with wide eyes.
Zhao Erzi hit Li Niu's back headfirst, bounced to the ground, got up and patted his buttocks and said angrily: "Erniu, what's wrong with you?" If you have hysteria, why don't you leave! ”
Li Niu touched his head and replied uncertainly: "I saw the snow moving just now, shaking and shaking." ”
Zhao Erzi took the opportunity to retaliate and kick him, helped him up again, and reprimanded: "Fart, how can the snow move, I think your eyes are shaking, everyone goes on, and is seen by the people on the lookout, and Shangguan will say that we are stealing and cheating, not to mention deducting our military salary, and embarrassing our brothers in our hometown." ”
"Yes, yes, let's go!" Many people agreed.
Bai Yinwu, who was three zhang away, opened his eyes and saw that the patrol soldiers had left, so he signaled backwards to continue moving forward, slowly approaching the camp, and five hundred people quickly erected a human wall, and before the patrol soldiers returned, they all turned into the camp.
"Commander, should we set fire to it now?"
Bai Yinwu looked at the gate of the village two hundred meters away on the left, and said to several battalion commanders: "Let's divide the troops into two ways, I will lead two hundred people to be responsible for opening the gate of the wall, and the rest of the people are responsible for setting fire to the camp. ”
The few people defending the gate saw a few snowmen approaching in front of them, looked at each other, and the soldiers who reacted shouted: "The enemy is attacking the camp!" There are enemy troops attacking the camp! ”
"Kill"
Bai Yinwu led two hundred people to kill them, more than a dozen people opened the gate of the wall, and the rest formed a battle formation to resist the Hunan army that came to support.
Seeing that many people in the Hunan army were holding muskets.
Bai Yinwu shouted: "Kill!" "The leader rushed into the crowd like the Hunan army.
Li Xiucheng saw that the Hunan military camp was on fire, and shouted loudly: "Kill"
The Han army shouted and rushed forward.
The army rushed into the camp, and the pressure on Baiyinwu was greatly reduced.
When the Hunan army saw the fire in the rear, they could no longer support it and fled one after another.
The Hunan army routed all the way back and broke down one camp after another, which finally caused a chain reaction, and tens of thousands of people crowded together to flee to the middle camp......
Zeng Guoquan found Zeng Guofan, who was still reading at night, and said in a panic: "Big brother, Shorthair took advantage of the night to attack the front village, more than 20 camps in the front camp were all occupied by Shorthair, and the middle camp was also impacted by the rout, and now Shorthair is attacking the middle camp, big brother, you quickly think of a way!" ”
Zeng Guoquan saw that his eldest brother continued to read as if he hadn't heard it, if he had heard about such a scene in his hometown in the past, he would have admired his brother for not being chaotic, but when he was there, he realized that this was simply torturing him.
Zeng Guofan didn't look up, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any casualties in the front camp?" ”
Zeng Guoquan hurriedly replied: "The rout is so fast, the casualties should not be large." ”
Zeng Guofan finally got up and came to the outside of the tent, and heard the shouting and killing in front of him from a distance, and the sound of the cannon mixed with the sound of foreign guns came clearly, Zeng Guofan savored it carefully, and sighed: "The middle battalion is almost unable to hold on, and ordered the rear battalion to prepare to accept the rout, waiting for the short-haired killing, and the musket team came forward to serve." ”
Zeng Guoquan couldn't accept it, and stepped forward to persuade: "Short hair must have rushed in behind the rout, in case he hurt his own people, how to explain to the three armies." ”
Zeng Guofan patted his younger brother on the shoulder and taught earnestly: "Since ancient times, Ci has not been in charge of the army, can save the lives of more soldiers, and can lead them to victory, which is the best explanation for them." ”
Zeng Guoquan realized something, and muttered to himself: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, big brother!" I understand, I'll go to the gate of the village to command, you can rest assured to read. ”
As soon as Zeng Guoquan left, Liu Rong hurried over and said to Zeng Guofan: "Disheng, this short-haired offensive is unusual, not only did it choose to attack at night, but it seems that it still poured out, this is clearly the decisive battle, our army should think of a way to retreat in advance." ”
Zeng Guofan no longer hid his thoughts in front of his close friends, and whispered to himself: "The state affairs are difficult, the Han army is sharp, not comparable to long hair, regret should not let Li Yunzhong attack Jiangnan, the court should have done its best to destroy him at the beginning, and now that the pseudo-Han Dynasty has become a great trend, I am afraid that the story of Zhu Hongwu's expulsion of Meng Yuan will be repeated!" ”
Liu Rong was shocked, he had never seen Zeng Guofan so depressed, thinking of his junior brother Li Xubin's martyrdom, he couldn't help but feel sad and secretly wept.
Peng Yulin broke into the big tent in a hurry and saw such a strange scene.
Seeing Zeng Guofan and Liu Rong looking at him with red and swollen eyes, Peng Yulin stammered and said: "Qiyu Marshal, the sailor's camp was captured by shorthair, and my sailor was forced to lean towards Meijiazhou, and he came to ask for instructions. ”
Zeng Guofan sighed secretly, the Lu division couldn't beat others, and the sailor also lost his camp, and said disheartenedly: "Pass the order, and the army will retreat to the lake." ”
Hukou County
Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi sighed and were relatively speechless.
After a while, Hu Linyi broke the silence and said tentatively: "Now the Hunan army is shouting and shouting to kill the official document, and it is also strange that this official document is too uninteresting, our Hunan army has no place to be sorry for him, why don't you save him when you see death!" ”
Among the Hunan army, Zeng Guofan hated the official document the most, but he knew better than ordinary people that coordinating the relationship with the official document of the governor of Huguang was the need to safeguard the long-term interests of the Hunan army.
Zeng Guofan said word by word: "Forbearance! Patience can become gold, refusing to support Jinggang, is by no means the idea of the official Wen alone, maybe the official text did not expect to be self-defeating, so that the backbone of the Hunan army was wiped out by the short hair, this Jiujiang is not able to stay, if the short hair takes advantage of the situation to attack Hubei, the period of the destruction of the Hunan army is not far away! ”
Hearing that Zeng Guofan did not lead the army to settle accounts with the official documents, Hu Linyi was relieved, what he was most worried about was being caught between the imperial court and the Hunan army.
Hu Linyi paused for a moment and asked, "Zeng Gong, if the shorthairs don't chase us and attack Hubei, then where will they attack!" At that time, if the Holy God orders us to send troops to the king, I am afraid that the brothers below will have opinions! ”
Zeng Guofan understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, the Han army did not fight the Hunan army, it must have sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and with the strength of the Han army, it was very likely to hit Beijing.
"As a courtier, you can only serve the country loyally, and besides, if you don't have a hair, you will be safe! If the Qing Dynasty falls, there will be no way out for us loyal ministers and good generals. "Since Zeng Guofan put the treasure on the Qing Dynasty, he will never allow the Qing Dynasty to die before himself. (To be continued......)
