Chapter 460: Take the initiative

Chang'an, Council Chamber.

"Ahem, ahem!" Hao Zhao coughed heavily, but he still supported his body with a strong son, and said to the two generals, Du Ji and Gao Rou: "General Sima sent an order, ordering you and me not to be obsessed with garrisoning Chang'an, but to take advantage of the arrogant opportunity of Yan Xing's soldiers and horses after capturing Xianyang, and send troops to fight a victory to save morale!" Now among the ten carved arrows, only two of them are ordered to guard Chang'an, and I have a total of three people, please complement each other and make a plan for me...... Cough, cough, cough! ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Hao Zhao cough heavily again.

Du Yi frowned and looked at Hao Zhao, and said: "Since it is a strict order of the lord, it is inevitable for us to obey his wishes, but if you want to go out of the city to face the battle, General Hao, your physical condition, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient......

Hao Zhao waved his hand vigorously and said, "It's okay, it's just a small illness!" ”

Gao Rou sighed on the side: "Otherwise, in the next little with Xuanhuang Yaodao, listening to the general's coughing sound, it is not only empty, but also has a very strong echo, I am afraid that it is either severe typhoid fever or lung disease, and please don't be careless...... I mean, General Hao is still stationed in Chang'an, guarding the city and standby, I and Du Ji went to Yanxing Dazhai in Xianyang, robbed him for a while, saved morale, and then came back to guard the city with the general! ”

Hao Zhao's face was a little pale, and he shook his head when he heard this: "No!" Zhao Dudu is not here, I am the commander of the three armies in Chang'an, and it is the lord's order to go out of the city and rob the camp, how can I not go out of such a big event? Gao Rou, you are careful on weekdays, and you will guard the city! Du Ji and I led 10,000 elite soldiers to the Yanxing camp outside Xianyang City! ”

"But ......"

"No need to say more! That's it! Hao Zhao's tone seemed very insistent.

Gao Rou and Du Yi looked at Hao Zhao quietly, and found that although Hao Zhao was pale and sick at this time, he vaguely exuded a spirit that shocked the heroes and looked at all directions, which was a kind of momentum that had been honed in the military camp all year round, and it was not innate. Only people who have great confidence in themselves can have such charm.

After eight years in the army, Hao Zhao has finally grown from a young general to a good man who can take charge of one side on his own.

But seeing Hao Zhao's fists clenched and rushing towards Gao, Du Erren said: "For the sake of Yongliang's situation, we must fight majestically in this battle!" Crush the conspiracy of Yan Xing, Song Jian and other thieves, take the heads of these two thieves, and present them to General Sima as a wine cup! ”

Gao Rou smiled when she heard this.

"The lord is the master, not the bloodthirsty Qiang. How can you use a human head as a wine cup? ”

********************

The fog at night was wet and cold, quietly drifting in the wilderness west of Xianyang City, and it seemed that even the roar of the rumbling water on the edge of the city was isolated.

Last night, Yan Xing gathered his rebels, and had captured Xianyang, Xianyang Taishou Quke bloody battle for three hours, outnumbered and lost, and the city was martyred, but Yan Xing's front siege army was also tired and tired from a big battle. It's not going to work if you don't rest. Therefore, Yan Xing and the rebel generals of various tribes held a celebration banquet in the city, but those lower-level siege soldiers did not even have a piece of meat, but hastily camped around Xianyang City. Rest and fall asleep.

"Ahh ~”

The sentry on the tower sneezed heavily, turned his head to look at the bright lights in Xianyang City, and then turned his head to look at the lifeless camp outside the city, and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Fuck! The battle was over. There is no glass of wine, no meat is a piece, and the leader enters the city to be happy. But here we are to suffer! This soldier is really boring, it's not much better than calling Hanako! ”

But it is not strange that the soldiers complained, at this time it was a cold winter, although the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou were strong, they also needed cotton jackets, wine and meat for the winter, but unfortunately these things were not well prepared by Yan Xing.

Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, abundant water and grass, can raise warriors, rich in strong horses, but the living materials are poor, reward the three armies or soldiers for the winter, and the things that reward the three armies or soldiers for the winter are generally provided directly from Chang'an, and now Yan Xing rebels, although the soldiers and horses are numerous, although the territory seized is more, but the finance is suddenly not available, and the material circulation and the way of merchants are also strangled to death by Hao Zhao in Chang'an, so the rebels have a very hard time this winter.

Of course, in this kind of situation where the needs of the soldiers cannot be met, the commander will generally order the soldiers and horses under his command to loot the city, rob the people's materials, and meet their own needs.

But when it came to Yan Xing, it didn't work, just because Meng Jian, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Liang Kuan and others pursued Confucianism, and considering the need for development in the future of Yongliang, they were all resolutely opposed.

In this way, Yan Xing was in a passive position, and he could only detain the soldiers, but he did not have Cao Cao's means of quenching his thirst with plum blossoms or killing grain officer Wang Yuan to appease the army's heart, so he could only let the army's dissatisfaction gradually expand, blindly attacking the city, and only seeking to quickly reject Yongliang.

Therefore, Yan Xing may be an excellent general, but he is by no means a good politician, whether it is reflected in pacifying the rule or integrating the opinions of his subordinates......

The sentry of the Yan Xing rebels was scolding and grumbling, when suddenly, he was shocked, and his eyes narrowed and looked carefully into the night mist in the distance.

But hundreds of steps to the east of the camp, a row of dense black shadows was advancing towards the camp through the night and mist.

The rebel sentry was immediately startled, hurriedly picked up the horn, and was about to blow it, but a row of sharp arrows 'swished' through the fog and flew into the air, three of which pierced his chest, and immediately saw blood spraying in the air.

"Woo woo ~ ~~!" After this rain of arrows, a huge horn sounded in the plain outside the camp, starting the first battle of the counterattack of the Chang'an army led by Hao Zhao!

"Someone has robbed the camp!"

The silence of the night was broken with a terrible cry. The rebel camp was full of people, some people were running out of their tents, some were shouting, and the horses were neighing. The soldiers began to get busy.

Hao Zhao's face was solemn, holding the long-ring knife in his hand and riding on the brown bearded horse, he was not in a hurry to let the soldiers rush in to fight, but let the phalanx of the first team step forward in unison, throw out the fish oil canisters that were ready, and smashed them into the rebel gate in unison, and then ordered the crossbowmen of the second formation to ignite the arrows stained with fire oil, and shot out of the volley.

Although the temperature in winter is low, it does not prevent the ignition of the oil fire! But listen to "pounce, pounce!" The sound of the rebels' anti-arrow Tianluo and the enemy's rejecting horses outside the gate were ignited, although the fire was not scorching, but it was enough to make the soldiers and horses in the camp riot.

"Walk the water! Walk the water! ”

"Fight the fire!"

"Don't mess around!"

"Meet the enemy, set up to meet the enemy!"

“…………”

The soldiers and horses of the rebel battalion began to reorganize their men and horses, and the sound of rescue horns was also heard from various cantonment camps in the southeast, northwest, and north.

The problem is that Hao Zhao didn't give them enough time to prepare, and in the sound of war drums again, the two generals Hao Zhao and Du Ji led their troops into the village.

Hao Zhao held a long-ring knife in his hand, rushed through the camp first, and led a vanguard iron cavalry of about 500 horsemen to open a passage, and the rebels who were not prepared were devastated by the devastated generals.

Seeing the bright lights in Xianyang City, Hao Zhao estimated that most of the generals led by Yan Xing were fighting in the city, but the vanguard camp outside the city would inevitably be guarded by heavy generals.

Under the leadership of Hao Zhao, five hundred iron horsemen entered the main village of the military camp, and went straight to the handsome tent, and saw that a shirtless man in the tent and a war spear rushed out, shouting at Hao Zhao.

"Who is coming! How dare you rob my camp! ”

Hao Zhao didn't speak, he raised his knife and slashed at the head, and the general stumbled and hurriedly raised his gun to resist.

This person was Zhao Qu, one of the Liangzhou generals who responded to Yan Xing's rebellion, and was ordered to be stationed in the big village outside the city.

Hao Zhao went out to fight this time, intending to swear to kill Zhao Qu, but his subordinates showed no mercy, or picking, chopping, chopping, or stabbing.

Twenty rounds later, but listening to Hao Zhao's roar, he swept through thousands of troops with one blow, and finally killed Zhao Qu in front of the horse!

The commander is dead, the enemy is even more panicked, Hao Zhao did not stop, led the soldiers and horses to continue to rush forward, behind him, the 10,000 Chang'an army is even more indomitable, the mountains and tsunamis all the way forward, invincible, the entire rebel camp split, everything that is in front of the crush to pieces.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Hao Zhao coughed while continuing to rush forward, he couldn't remember how many people he had killed, the enemy troops in the camp fled in all directions, most of the soldiers fled to Xianyang City in a panic, and the cries and shouts rang out.

Hao Zhao coughed while shouting to the deputy general Du Ji who was rushing behind him: "Du Qi! You lead a team of soldiers and horses to the west to block the Xitun camp closest to here, I will chase after me for a while, and I must give the other party the biggest blow before most of Yan Xing arrives! ”

"No!" Du Ji echoed loudly.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Hao Zhao coughed again, turned around, looked at the rebel camp that was still in chaos, and shouted, "Sons! Tired or not? ”

"Not tired!"

"Alright, follow me into the enemy camp again!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

*******************

Just when Hao Zhao led the soldiers and horses to hijack the rebel pioneer camp in Xianyang, the 33,000 rescue soldiers and horses led by Yuan Shang were transferred to Meixian, and Yuan Shang asked Zhong Miao to come out and bribe Yang Song with a lot of money to ask him to offer advice to Zhang Lu.

Zhong Xuan pretended to be a merchant, day and night, and personally rushed to the south to meet Yang Song, as soon as Fang met, he put the gold silk brocade in front of Yang Song, and saw Yang Song's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, Zhong Servant, when you were the governor of Chang'an Guanzhong, the two of us were often moving around, old acquaintances! Why be so polite? ”

Zhong Miao touched his beard and said with a smile: "Yang Gong, this gift was not given by the old man, but by the old man instead of Yuan Gong, Yang Gong must not be polite." ”

"......" (To be continued......)
