Chapter 354 The "high" man appears
"This guy followed us all the way, before he achieved absolute superiority, he flickered and flickered, and he didn't fight to the death, I think that between Zhang Yinglei's advance and retreat in Yizhou, there is quite a bit of Liao people's style of using soldiers?" Xu Guanzhong got the news that Xu Ning reported back, and said with some sighs.
After this break, Xu Ning, Qin Ming and Hao Siwen's men served as the main force, and the three battalions of soldiers and horses and the pursuing soldiers in Yizhou had contact, but Zhang Yinglei refused to make a single bet, usually made a little contact, and then withdrew, concentrating on finding the flaws of the Liangshan army, hoping to win the battle. It's a pity that Wang Lun's army has Xu Guanzhong as the mastermind, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Tang Bin and other former forbidden army generals are in charge, and there are a large number of war horses to replace, so Zhang Yinglei's wish basically did not succeed.
"I've all retreated to Shouzhang County, and he's still biting it, it seems that this person is not an idle person! However, our strategic goal is no longer to destroy as many enemies as possible, but to return the civilians, soldiers, and captures we have already obtained back to the cottage in a safe manner. Therefore, all our tactical objectives at this time must be centered on the current grand strategy! We can say that the victory is in hand, and at this time it is the other party who is impatient! Of course, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, don't think that you have reached the foot of the mountain, you can relax! When we all go up the mountain, this battle will be over! ”
Wang Lun analyzed the current situation, and if this chasing army could be solved, it would be the best. But in the current situation, Lin Chong and other four battalions of cavalry that had previously been cut off by themselves, plus their own personal guard battalions, all had a lot of casualties, and at this time, they relied on the three battalions of Xu Ning and others, plus two thousand horse army reserves that had never been on the battlefield. It is not easy to eat more than 5,000 horses that are not commanded by mediocre generals in one bite.
Therefore, during this time, the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they were careful to control the scale of the conflict under controllable conditions. To tell the truth, these elite soldiers who have survived the bloody war are all treasures in Wang Lun's eyes, and they are unwilling to participate in this senseless war of attrition as a last resort.
Xu Guanzhong nodded in approval when he saw it, and said, "If he wants to consume, let's accompany him to consume!" See whose side the time is! In this way, you can also ask Teacher Xu to exercise the team, I think there is some fire in addition to General Qin. Our Jing Mu Qian is very suitable for this kind of warfare. behaved perfectly, and even Zhang Yinglei had no way to deal with him! ”
Wang Lun smiled when he saw this, and introduced to Xu Guanzhong: "The Hao Siwen brothers are known as the 'Pudong Sanjie', and they have been practicing martial arts since childhood. And familiarize yourself with military books. He's a general. It's just a lack of a platform for performance! ”
"Isn't there now?" Xu Guanzhong smiled and sighed: "I see the great talents lurking in the grass under this world. I'm afraid that my brother will dig it out! ”
Wang Lun was a little emotional when he heard this, the original trajectory of Liangshan one hundred and eight generals, now he has more than half of them, and there are twenty or thirty people who have never been to Liangshan before, but they are definitely heroes, and under their influence, they have joined the big family of Liangshanbo. As soon as he thought of this, Wang Lun's mood suddenly became happy, and the feeling of hard work of the multi-day battle gradually dissipated.
"Brother, good news!" Han Shizhong was still far away from the camp, so he heard that his loud voice had already shouted. Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong glanced at each other, both smiling, and walked out of the tent. From a distance, I saw Han Shizhong with a giant man behind him, holding a big axe to open the mountain, and followed Han Shizhong in a hurry.
This is the first time Wang Lun has seen such a "high" person since he crossed over. Of course, Lu Junyi is also nine feet tall, although the two are not too tall or shorter, but indirectly through Han Shizhong's reference, people feel that this Han seems to be slightly taller than the jade unicorn. Wang Lun subconsciously looked back at Xu Guanzhong, only to see Xu Guanzhong nodding with a smile, and said softly: "Bian Xiang!" ”
Wang Lun will understand, it should be him! Except for Yu Baosi and Ren Yuan, who are one foot tall, this person should be ranked the third highest in the Water Margin?
"Engong, the villain is here!" As soon as Bian Xiang saw Xu Guanzhong, a smile finally appeared on his unsmiling face.
"Brother, come on! This is the famous white-clothed scholar Wang Lun's brother on the rivers and lakes, I look forward to you for a long time! Xu Guanzhong greeted him and said with a smile.
"I have heard the name of the white-clothed Wang Xiushi for a long time, and I have been highly recommended by Engong, and the little brother Bian Xiang has come to join the mountain this time!" Bian Xiang saw that he gave Wang Lun a salute.
"I heard your good name and surname on the rivers and lakes, and not long ago I heard Yang Lin's praise for your brother, Xiaozhai can get the same strong man, and the luck of Shuibo is also!" Wang Lun returned the salute and asked Bian Xiang to get up. The man in front of him is not only tall, but also extremely strong in martial arts, in the original trajectory, he was invincible to Shi Jin and Hua Rong teamed up for dozens of undefeated, and then avenged Shan Shiqi, and took the life of Du Yan's fierce general Yu Tai, who was a rare fierce general under Tian Hu, and had the strength of the five tigers steadily.
Bian Xiang saw Wang Lun talking about Yang Linlai, and said with a smile: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I have offended a lot before!" ”
"Brother Yang Lin talked about you, but they are all praise! You must know that there are many heroes on our Liangshan who don't fight and don't know each other, and brothers don't have to worry about these things! Wang Lun waved his hand.
Seeing that Wang Lun's speech was free and easy, and he was very approachable, he only felt that he was better than Tian Hu's brother-in-law, Bian Xiang was touched, shook his head and sighed, and said: "In the end, I am a good man who is convinced!" In this way, the younger brother is no longer hypocritical, and is willing to go up the mountain and gather with Brother Wang Lun and all the heroes! ”
"Good, good!" Wang Lun was happy in his heart, and invited the two of them to the tent, only to see Xu Guanzhong nodding at Bian Xiang with relief, Bian Xiang responded with a smile, and whispered: "I have returned the love that should be returned!" At this time, there is no more shackles, and I can finally do great things with Eungong! The matter of Liangshan in the Daimyo's Mansion! The younger brother has heard about it, when will we be heroes in the green forest to make such a great feat? ”
Speaking of this, Bian Xiang suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother Wang Lun, Engong, when the younger brother came all the way south, the road was still peaceful, but early this morning, I found that a large number of imperial court officials and soldiers were going to the north, and all of them were Ma Jun, and the younger brother was afraid of any emergency military situation, so he hurried here!" ”
When Wang Lun heard this, he glanced at Xu Guanzhong, only to see Xu Guanzhong muttering for a moment and saying, "Didn't you follow all the way." I still can't get my mouth shut, and I decided to give up? ”
"It's possible!" Wang Lun nodded and said, if this is the case, then after Xu Ning and them have been verified, the relatively detailed information should be sent back soon, Wang Lun thought about it, and instructed Jiao Ting beside him: "Go and ask Lin Jiaotou, Yang Zhi, General Tang and Zhang Dujian to come over and discuss the military aircraft!" ”
Jiao Ting took the order, and Wang Lun asked Han Shizhong: "How is the situation of Suo Xianfeng today?" ”
In the battle of Yukou that day, the most seriously injured was the pioneer Suo Chao, but fortunately, there was a divine doctor An Daoquan by his side. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wang Lun originally planned to send Suo Chao back to the cottage to recuperate. But because An Daoquan couldn't leave for a while, for the sake of insurance, he was temporarily settled in the Huitian camp to recuperate.
"He's rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and he has to talk about getting on the horse early in the morning. A group of Lang Zhong couldn't stop him. provoked the third lady to get angry. If you want to take the sun and moon and merge him, this guy is just right! Han Shizhong said with a smile. He and Suo Chao had a little holiday in the Daimyo's Mansion that day, but the battle of Yukou was a battle. For the rest of their lives, the relationship between the two has not reached the stage of being called brothers, at least it has improved greatly.
While speaking, I saw Lin Chong and others enter the account in turn, Wang Lun got up and introduced Bian Xiang to everyone, everyone was very enthusiastic to come forward to salute, Bian Xiang saw so many famous people in the rivers and lakes at once, and he was courteous and thoughtful to himself, and he was also happy in his heart. On the one hand, there was a new leader who had just arrived and was afraid, and on the other hand, there was an old leader who was happy to make the newcomer feel comfortable.
After a lively while, Wang Lun signaled Xu Guanzhong to inform everyone of the military information brought by Bian Xiang, and everyone fell into deep thought, only to see Yang Zhidao: "It may be that it is really retreating, or it may be that it is a false shot, and then kill a horse pistol!" But in any case, let's not let our guard down! ”
After Yang Zhi finished speaking, everyone spoke in agreement, Wang Lun nodded, and said: "Let's respond to all changes with the same, and see what tricks he Zhang Yinglei plays!" Daoist Ma Ling has already returned to the mountain to contact the Di Ting Camp, and it is estimated that he will be able to spread it today. Zhu Gui's place, the brothers are not idle. But our battalions must be vigilant and send more scouts out to investigate, we can't fall into passivity at the door of our own homes, we can't afford to lose this face! ”
When everyone heard this, they all gave up their orders, and Wang Lun said: "I know that all of you have suffered a lot of casualties, but it is still a little difficult to rely on Teacher Xu's three battalions, plus two thousand inexperienced reserve troops, and the Yizhou army!" If you insist on persevering, when our people and baggage have gone up the mountain, you can rest with peace of mind! ”
Lin Chong took the lead and said: "Brother, don't worry, the brothers all understand the difficulties of the cottage, I am here to make a statement on behalf of the brothers, the Rock Battalion will never hold back the army!" At this time, everyone is waiting for their brother's order, galloping on the battlefield, and there is no need to say anything! ”
Everyone knows that the Panshi Battalion of Ludao is the battalion with the heaviest casualties in this battle, Lin Chong's statement stimulated everyone, only to hear Tang Bin, Yang Zhi, and Zhang Qing express their determination, and drink all the water of the river, and never plant it in this bowl of water.
This scene made Bian Xiang's face look pensive, and when everyone said goodbye and left the account, Bian Xiang was puzzled: "Engong, let's Liangshanbo, will we directly assign the minions to the leaders?" And what did Sect Leader Lin mean, what did the rock camp mean? ”
"The soldiers must be known, and the soldiers must be known! Will not lead troops, where do you know the strength of the Taoist soldiers? Our cottage is divided into horse army, infantry army, water army and garrison army. Each branch of the military has a field battalion under its jurisdiction, and each battalion will designate a general who must be a person who is worthy of a great responsibility, and not everyone can take on it. After selecting the general, then you will train the troops on weekdays, and you will lead the troops in wartime, everyone is a person who wants to face the face, and when you start a war, it is useless to look at it, and if you miss a major event on the battlefield, it is light to make people laugh, and you will be dealt with by military law! However, at the moment, in our Liangshanbo, we have not found anyone who does not dare to lead the troops alone for fear of making mistakes! ”
Xu Guanzhong patiently explained to Bian Xiang: "Also, when my brother calls me in the future, just call me by my name!" ”
I see, no wonder when the old leaders talked about their subordinates just now, that kind of pride is not something that can be pretended to be, Bian Xiang pondered for a moment, a little excited and a little expectant: "Engong...... Strategist, what will the younger brother do after he goes up the mountain, can he lead a battalion alone? ”
When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he looked at Wang Lun, the owner of the village who was quite optimistic about his brother, and the two couldn't help but smile. Bian Xiang, who was left confused, looked back and forth at the two, a little confused. (To be continued......)
