Chapter 483 - Chess meets the opponent will be the opponent
Tian Chenghe's eyes flashed with fierceness, he stared ahead, and then turned his head sideways and asked, "Is it Wang Yang'er or Shanzhi?" β
Among the generals around Ye Chang, they are most familiar with Nan Ba and Luo Jiu, after all, they have been facing each other for many years in Liaodong, and they have both stumbled and fought with each other, and they are extremely difficult to mess with. But Nanba and Luo Jiu are now in charge of themselves and have not come to Chang'an, and the next thing they heard about is Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er. These two are known for their bravery, and they have always followed Ye Chang's side, but they have never heard that they have the opportunity to be on their own.
"Neither." The scout gasped and said, "Look at the flag, it should be Zhuo Junfu." β
"A nameless junior, he dares to come to die!" Tian Chengsi muttered, but he understood that this was not to underestimate the opponent, but to cheer himself up.
With more than 100,000 troops on both sides, it is impossible to start a war in one place, and the entire front is bound to be elongated, followed by a series of tests, looking for the weak points of the other side, and then making a breakthrough at a certain point.
Tian Chengsi became the breakthrough chosen by An Lushan, that is, the pioneer mentioned by the market commentators, and his opponent Zhuo Junfu was his breakthrough target.
"Zhuo Junfu is bold, camped on flat ground, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." After observing the other party's camp, Tian Chengsi looked back with a smile: "It's no wonder, I heard that this person is a disciple of Ye Chang Lushun Academy, a soldier on paper, although he has some talents, he doesn't have much actual combat experience after all. β
"General, let me try this Zhuo Junfu, tonight's night attack?" His subordinates said.
Zhuo Junfu is indeed not too famous among Ye Chang's subordinates, but he is not an unknown person as Tian Chengsi said, at least in the battle to quell the chaos in Dugi Province, his performance is remarkable. Tian Chenghei deliberately belittled him, but in fact, he was still a little jealous, and when he heard the "night attack", his heart moved: "Okay, I'll attack him tonight!" β
Night soon fell.
Tian Chenghe, as a vanguard general, naturally did not personally attack the camp, but appointed a henchman to attack with 500 horsemen at night, and he ordered the army to be ready to respond at any time. The distance between the two armies was only a few miles, and the night attack troops had only been out for less than half an hour, and the sound of killing could be heard there. When Tian Chengsi heard the momentum, he frowned and said, "It's not good, the thieves are prepared!" β
He gave the order to meet him, and it didn't take long for him to encounter the defeated night raiders. As he guessed, Zhuo Junfu was really prepared, although his night attack troops were cautious, they were still ambushed, and only dozens of horsemen escaped back, and the rest were captured and killed.
The generals under his command will inevitably tremble with this specialty, and the little-known characters under Ye Chang can also make them suffer such a loss. After Tian Chengsi asked carefully about the reaction over there, he was not angry but happy: "Okay, good, this Zhuo Junfu was entrusted with a heavy task by Ye Chang, and it is really not easy to match, he won this time, and he must be arrogant in his heart - pass the order to go down, go back to the camp for a while, and then go to the night attack when he is ugly!" β
"Still going to attack at night?" The subordinates said in surprise.
"Exactly, thinking about it, Zhuo Junfu would not have expected that I would have to attack at night after suffering a loss, even if this night attack fails, it can make him suspicious and unable to rest!"
Hearing Tian Chengsi say this, everyone suddenly realized and nodded yes.
Tian Chengsi himself is not as confident as he said verbally, he, the vanguard general, was not originally willing to be him, after Cui Chengqian and Zhang Zhongzhi, it is him, and he is willing to fight to the death, the reason is that his family has been detained by An Lushan as a hostage. Unlike these subordinate generals, he knew An Lushan's plan, An Lushan had changed his mind and was ready to return to Chang'an to defend the danger, but he was afraid that Ye Chang would pursue him, so he let him fight this battle - victory was not rewarding, defeat was just to go back earlier.
The ugly time was the darkest time before dawn, and Tian Chengsi still wanted to win the night attack after all, at least go back to An Lushan to explain something, so people couldn't raise fire, but with the help of the glimmer of a round of moon, wrapped in horses' hooves, with a piece in his mouth, trotted forward. Not long after the departure, a gust of wind blew, the clouds obscured the moonlight, and the surroundings were dark, and everyone could only barely distinguish the road forward.
"General, this cloud is good, although it is difficult for us to leave, but the Ye Thief Army will not be guarded!" His subordinates called this moon-obscuring cloud a good omen.
"Hugh wants to speak, let's continue, capture Zhuo Junfu just in time for the morning food!" Tian Chengsi also felt quite lucky, smiled and ordered.
He was strict in governing the army, and he was well-known among An Lushan's subordinates, so more than 10,000 troops advanced without any sound. After traveling for half an hour, it was estimated that halfway through the barracks of the two armies, suddenly, another gust of wind blew, and the moonlight appeared again.
This appearance didn't matter, but it startled the striker of Tian Chenghe's department.
Because right in front of them, only a few dozen steps away, a large number of people under black pressure were all enemy troops!
Tian Chenghe's position was also relatively high, and he was riding on a horse, so he could naturally see the enemy troops that suddenly appeared over there. The first thought in his heart was that he was broken, and he was tricked, but when he found that the other sergeant was also obviously stagnant, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and suddenly understood that he was thinking of being with Zhuo Junfu!
He pondered that the second night attack would surprise Zhuo Junfu, and Zhuo Junfu also pondered that his counterattack after being attacked was also unexpected. As a result, the intentions of both sides were the same, and the attack path they chose was also the same, and such a coincidence was taken to the extreme by Tiangong.
"Kill!"
That being the case, the night attack becomes an encounter, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!
Tian Chengsi has full confidence in his subordinates, these are the elites who have been fighting at the border for many years, and many of them are still brave Hu clans!
Tian Chengji gave the order, and his men swarmed up and rushed towards the enemy.
"I have been fighting for many years, and my experience is far from being comparable to Zhuo Junfu's milky hairy child, and before he can react, I will order to rush and kill, and when he comes back to his senses, the formation is chaotic and the morale has ......."
Tian Chengsi expected this in his heart, but when he thought of this, his eyes burst out: "How is it possible?" β
At the same time as his subordinates rushed out, Zhuo Jun's auxiliary department on the opposite side also rushed out at the same time!
Moreover, when Zhuo Jun's auxiliary troops rushed to kill, it was not the five-flower array that the Tang army often arranged, but a phalanx, which was denser than Tian Chenghe's military array. This didn't surprise Tian Chengsi too much, what really surprised him was that the other party was able to maintain this position very well.
"It is impossible for Ye Chang to have so many elite soldiers, otherwise how could the old emperor allow him, where did he get it from...... Although Ge Shuhan's men are known for their bravery, these are not worthy of it! β
Tian Chenghei was not allowed to think too much, and the two armies had already collided heavily in one place.
In terms of personal martial arts alone, few of Zhuo Junfu's subordinates can compare to Tian Chenghe's subordinates, but even in the melee, the array is still orderly, and their discipline is far better than that of Tian Chenghe's subordinates. Therefore, Tian Chengsi looked at it and was surprised to find that although the number of people on both sides was equal, in any local battlefield, the enemy had formed an advantage of fighting more and fighting less.
The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and the casualties were very heavy, seeing this situation, Tian Chengsi had already had the idea of retreating, but in such a stalemate state, he wanted to retreat, and he couldn't retreat easily.
"If that's the case, then I'll fight to the deathβif I fight like this anyway, maybe the king will kill me when I go back!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian Chengsi was also a person who could be open-minded, and as soon as his mind moved, he looked at the guards around him and shouted: "Life and death are at this moment, everyone, kill the enemy with me!" β
"Kill!" The people around him brandished their weapons and roared in unison.
Almost at the same time, Zhuo Junfu was also saying to the people around him: "I waited for us to come out of Lushun Academy, others only said that we are soldiers on paper, Tian Chenghei is a strong general under An Lushan's account, today he will be punished, and the name of my Lushun Academy will be raised at the right time - this matter, there is death and no life, if you advance, you will be glorious and live, and if you retreat, you will die in humiliation, I should be in front, you brothers come with me, kill!" β
The generals on both sides were not satisfied with the stalemate of the battle, and they did not want to turn this battle into a meat grinder that was constantly bleeding from each other, so they simply chose to put all their strength into it, ready to decide the victory in one fell swoop.
However, the two sides are still different, when Zhuo Junfu rushed to kill, he saw that the opponent's rear formation was also moving forward, knowing that the two sides had taken the same decision, so that the battle would be more tragic. He was in a hurry, and as soon as his heart moved, he pulled a guard beside him and said: "Go and ask the grenadiers to throw a few grenades, and then bluff, saying that the grenadiers are coming to help!" β
When the guard heard this, he left the battle, and someone else took his place. Zhuo Junfu led the sergeant to rush to the front line, and happened to collide with Tian Chenghe's department again, and the two sides shouted and fought, and it was difficult to separate.
In this kind of fierce battle, every moment is as long as a day, just a short time, Zhuo Junfu is already sweating profusely, and there are blood stains everywhere on his body. Seeing that there were more and more casualties among the guards around him, he became more and more anxious: many of these guards were from Lushun Academy, and Ye Chang was completely taught as a baby, and they were originally not allowed to go to the battlefield, but because everyone was begging each other, this is the opportunity they have now. Each of them has learned a lot, and if the conditions permit, they can take charge of themselves, if they all die here, even if he wins, he will not have the face to go back to see Ye Chang!
"Why hasn't it sounded, why hasn't it sounded?"
He knows very well that in this stalemate, whichever side can't hold on first means a big defeat for either side. However, the willpower of both sides is equal and the fighting spirit is equally high, and only when something unexpected happens can it be possible to shake the enemy's morale and make the opponent think of retreating.
"Where is Zhuo Junfu?" Tian Chenghe, under the escort of his own army, shouted repeatedly.
He also understands that something unexpected has to happen in order for his side to win. By now, he had left behind all the intrigues in An Lushan's army, and the only thing he wanted was to win the final victory.
The unexpected thing he could think of was to kill the opponent's main general. He had already judged that his own side was superior in martial arts, and even so, it was not an impossible task for him to lead a brave personal guard to break into the enemy's formation and kill the opponent's main general!
"Over there, over there, that's Zhuo Junfu!"
When the battle was in full swing, someone suddenly discovered Zhuo Junfu's general banner and shouted to Tian Chenghe.
Zhuo Junfu's general flag is not far from Tian Chengsi, the battle situation was too chaotic before, and the sky was dark, so he didn't see it for a while, but now after seeing it, Tian Chengsi felt that his eyes were red.
Only ...... away from him Less than 100 steps!
If it weren't for the fire that someone didn't know, he wouldn't have seen this flag!
"Attack, kill Zhuo Junfu!" Tian Chengsi shouted loudly, took the lead, and killed Zhuo Junfu's location.
He suddenly attacked, took the lead again, and pounced on the place where the main general was, and the Tang army suddenly became a little chaotic. In addition, the guards around him were all selected as brave people in the army, so in a short period of time, they were like a bamboo, and they directly entered dozens of steps, and they were less than fifty steps away from Zhuo Junfu's location!
Tian Chengsi even felt that among the figures he saw under the banner, there seemed to be Zhuo Junfu, who was holding a horse lance and was stabbing the scattered rebels who were approaching him.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The feeling of victory in sight made Tian Chenghe's blood surge, and he screamed hard.
Zhuo Junfu also noticed the movement of the enemy army, and it could be seen from the retreat of his own army that there was a very elite enemy army approaching him with all his might. Of course, the other party didn't come to talk to him, but he clearly discovered his position as the main general and came to take his first result!
"It's urgent, when you put everything aside, there is death and no life, so you can survive in death!" His mind turned, and he pointed in this direction: "Kill here!" β
There were only more than 100 people left around him, and the rest were either killed or lost in the fierce battle, but with his order, these more than 100 people all rushed towards Tian Chenghe.
Although there are many enemy troops, so what, what the spear is pointing to is the military order!
Although Zhuo Junfu's department is brave, it has not wavered until now, but at this most critical moment, it still succumbed to the upper hand, and was led by Tian Chengsi to break through constantly, and it broke through to Zhuo Junfu. The sergeants around Zhuo Junfu huddled together, shielded with shields and spears, and the two sides once again entered a brutal stalemate.
"Damn, these paper-based guys are so tough...... No matter, you are ready, shout that Zhuo Junfu has been killed! Tian Chengsi saw that it was difficult to advance an inch, so he said to his subordinates.
In the dark night, as long as they shout, who knows if the Tao is true or false? Although the other party is disciplined and will not retreat, but in today's chaos, they can only hear the sound of killing here, but they can't distinguish the real from the fake with the naked eye!
"Boom!"
As soon as Tian Chengsi's words fell, at this moment, Zhuo Junfu's long-awaited explosion sounded, although it was only two sounds, but it shook the shouting and killing sound.
The grenade was followed by a shout: "The grenadiers are coming, the grenadiers are coming!" β
"Grenadier! Grenadier! β
Ye Changbu cheered in unison, with this cheer, their morale was high, but correspondingly, the morale of An Lushan was greatly depressed!
In Chang'an City, the grenadiers have made a name for themselves, although the generals of An Lushan now also know that the Ludao grenadiers have all kinds of shortcomings, but as Tian Chengsi thought, in this chaos, who would have thought of these shortcomings?
