Chapter 358: Greetings!
"Dismount, quick, quick, quick!"
Under the loud shouting of the captain, Guo Dong and Xu An ran quickly and got off the boat.
Unlike before, at the Jingcheng wharf, everyone landed leisurely and leisurely, and now, the sailors have entered the land of the Chu people in Gyeonggi, so for the sake of insurance, the fleet has chosen the strategy of disembarking in batches and putting troops.
First, this can be done as efficiently as possible, and secondly, it can quickly expand the field of vision;
Regardless of whether the army will be scattered when they go down to scatter beans, at least there will not be such an extreme situation as being directly wrapped in dumplings when they gather together and disembark.
For the Yan army, which is accustomed to cavalry combat, it is really a little awkward and unaccustomed to marching on two legs, but it has been trained step by step in siege warfare, and at the same time, there is no doubt that it is the elite and the ability to adapt to the battlefield environment and changes in the level.
"Quick, quick, keep up!"
The flag bearer ran ahead, and Guo Dong, Xu An and a group of armor soldiers followed forward.
In fact, they don't know where they are now, but they probably know that they and the others have entered the depths of Chu State far away, and the unfamiliar environment brings them not panic and pressure, but a strange stimulus.
A few days ago, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Dayan's army were burying their heads in attacking the city, which can be said to have suffered enough from the Chu people's city wall and military village.
Right now
And they did,
The main force of the Yan army is still outside Zhennan Pass and continues to compete with the solid city wall, and he and the others have already come to the heart of the Chu State, how can they not be excited?
In the final analysis, this is still not deflated, the battle of Jingcheng was too easy to win, and a granary fire burned for two days and nights, which can be regarded as bringing up the spirit of the big guy.
At present, if you are frustrated twice in a row and are alone, your morale will inevitably fall down.
When the time comes, no matter how elite you are, you will be useless, you will die in battle, your bones will be in a different place, and it will really come to the time when pessimism envelops the whole army, how will it collapse or how will it collapse.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been many cases of lone troops going deep, and there seem to be many classic examples, but this is actually a kind of survivor bias;
The reason why military adventures are called military adventures is precisely because the vast majority of them have fallen into the sand.
At that time, Uncle Zheng once accompanied Li Fusheng to the south, Li Fusheng and Li Bao's two towns and the northern army, Li Bao was responsible for traction, and Li Fusheng directly crossed the Bianhe River and reached the upper capital.
Putting aside the factors of combat strength and so on, the reason why the Yan army was able to hold on and the cadres who came to block it all the way can be said to be of great help.
Because, the Yan army can defeat them again and again, use the victories of one battle after another to soothe the panic and anxiety of the lonely army, and use the routs of the cadres to make up for their continuous loss of morale.
So
Most importantly,
Still can't be defeated.
Uncle Zheng got off the deck, and beside him, the guards were crowded, and the Sword Saint stood at his side.
Ahead, in the reeds, with a yellowish autumn mood, if the poet had come here, he might have written that inexplicable sorrow;
It's a pity that although Uncle Zheng has always liked hypocrisy, he doesn't like to write or copy poems very much.
And as a soldier, when his boots stepped into this slightly muddy ground, he couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart;
If you change to normal times, you will never touch this kind of area if you lead the cavalry at a gallop, and the muddy reeds are often easy to become a casualty field for the cavalry as the main combat force.
"Siniang."
"Lord."
Siniang was dressed in a black cloak, wearing leather armor she had sewn herself, and stood behind her lord.
"I don't think the armor style of our guards is bright enough."
"I'll change it when I go back."
Uncle Zheng smiled with satisfaction and nodded:
"Okay."
The expression of the sword saint on the side was unwavering, and he was already accustomed to the habit of this Hirano Bo with a misty mind whenever he was facing a major event.
Perhaps, this is a difference in outlook on life.
In the eyes of Uncle Zheng and the demon kings, the pursuit of refinement is a great respect for life.
Originally, the town led by Gao Yi was regarded as Uncle Zheng's personal guard, but Uncle Zheng felt that after this battle, his territory was bigger and his power was greater, so he had to change it.
As for how to change it, it is not something that needs to be thought about now.
The battlefield situation has been laid out at this time.
According to the boundary of Yangcheng, it is the land of Gyeonggi that belongs to the Chu people, and it is rich, so there is nothing to say.
Of course, this kind of wealth may have little to do with the relationship between the bottom, but here, there should be a lot of rich households, and it is impossible to have less grain, treasures, silk, and beautiful maids.
San'er took the first step and led Dai Li and others to investigate Yangcheng;
Jin Shuke, Gou Moli and a Fan Li, the three of them led a group of people and horses, and from three directions, they had already rushed to Yangcheng.
If Yangcheng can go down in one fell swoop like Jingcheng, it will naturally be extremely beautiful, and the lone army will go deep, and there will be a foothold, well, it is very good;
Even if you can't take it, it doesn't matter, the Yan army will not be stupid to prepare for the siege, but will plunder the suburbs of the city and use blood to nourish the evil spirit of the soldiers.
Of course, it can also be called in a high-sounding manner that it is to "feed the enemy", "reduce the war potential of the Chu people", and "create panic".
"Hmm."
Uncle Zheng sighed.
Juggernaut spoke, "Hungry? ”
Uncle Zheng nodded,
Road:
"I didn't eat breakfast, I deliberately had an empty stomach, and I wanted to drink lamb soup."
………
"Tsk!"
After the slope, Xue San raised his head and looked at the Yangcheng in front of him.
According to Yangcheng, it is not a big city, nor is it a place where soldiers must fight, it is just a county seat in the land of Gyeonggi.
The wind of the fall of Jingcheng should have been transmitted, but the news that the Yan army was going down the river should not have come so quickly.
But according to Yangcheng, the city gate is closed, as if it is facing a great enemy.
Xue San smacked his mouth, if it was just to close the city gate, it would mean nothing, but outside the city, there were two camps.
One, in the north of the city, and the other in the south of the city.
The camp is not big, there are only a dozen tents, and each camp has the appearance of a hundred people, but the interesting thing is that it is all cavalry, and at a glance, the number of horses is more than people.
The armor on those cavalry was also too bright.
Let's put it this way, this kind of armor would not be worn if the owner of the family did not use the flagpole to drive his subordinates to fight.
In short, it's flashy, just for the sake of looking good.
Cavalry, for the Chu people, is extremely precious, in the Chu State, can use cavalry purely as a guard of honor, but it will never be ordinary people.
again
When there is no absolutely clear enemy situation,
The county gate is closed,
completely disregarding the daily production and rest of the people inside and outside this county,
How can there be a kind of meaning that the great leaders of later generations will pass through the clean streets?
Xue San rubbed his chin with his hand,
He was originally in the first echelon to check if there was an opportunity to storm the city gate, but now it seems that there is no play in storming the city.
On the city wall, there are many soldiers, even if the city wall is not high, but under this kind of vigilant posture, it is a little unrealistic to take the city by simple siege equipment.
However, it is too risky to set up camp on the spot, build equipment, find weaknesses, and attack the city by traditional means.
"Go, go back and inform the uncle, and say that according to Yangcheng, the defense is strong, and the city gate is closed, and it cannot be forcibly taken. Let's just say that I suggest that the three soldiers and horses be lurking on the spot and not making a noise. ”
"Whoa!"
Dai immediately rushed back.
Xue San pressed down on his body, squatted up, and began to press his legs and do warm-up exercises.
The other subordinates around him also immediately squatted down and began to warm up.
They were trained by Xue Sanshang, so they were naturally no strangers to these movements.
Seeing this, Xue San
laughed and scolded:
"A bunch of ball-grabbing stuff, you want to eat fart?"
Others are a little unclear.
"Roll on, spread around, take a look at the periphery, and leave the two of them here to wait for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will try to touch it himself later.
Do you want to go with Lao Tzu?
Do you want to pit Lao Tzu to death? ”
A good assassin must have a strong confidence in his own body, but if he has a group of oil bottles around him, he will also have to be blind.
These people can actually be regarded as crawling out of the pile of dead people, but the problem is that the level is still too far behind Xue San.
"There must be ghosts in this city."
Xue San continued to warm up while muttering to himself.
If it is another situation, or if it is someone else, it is okay to complete their own tasks, but the three are different, outsiders may not see it really, but the people in the real inner circle know that these gentlemen under Uncle Zheng have great autonomy when doing things.
At the same time, Xue San has always had the attribute of Fuwa, and the head of King Fu was brought back by him.
Assassins, with their truly worthy targets, tend to have an innate intuition.
However, just when Xue San had just finished his warm-up and was about to go to the corner of the city to touch it, a guard from his uncle's side came from behind:
"Mr. Three, Uncle has an order, stay put!"
Xue San asked with some suspicion:
"What's going to be done?"
………
"It's still like this."
Uncle Zheng really didn't know what to say.
After several big ships on his side unloaded the soldiers, they leaned here, but there was actually a Chu army with a number of 200 people, sitting in a small boat, and took the initiative to come over.
Note that it was not sneaking over, but swaggering and paddling over while greeting.
They, on their own initiative, stood on the boat and shouted, demanding that the ladder be thrown down.
Seeing this, the Yan soldiers on the boat threw down the ladder rope, and then the Chu soldiers on the small boat began to climb onto the boat.
When one comes up, one is tied, and the one that comes up continues to come up, and continues to be tied.
In the face of this kind of behavior of taking the initiative to send people's heads, the Yan soldiers on the deck all felt a little unreal.
In fact, it was this Chu army that misjudged the identity of these big ships, because the ship is still flying the flag of the Qu family, for the Chu people, the big ship, the sailor, and it is in Chu, isn't it sure that it is their own!
So, they came up.
After going up to a batch, it turned out that the people who had gone up before did not poke their heads out to say hello, and the Chu soldiers who stayed on the small boat finally found that something was wrong, but when the bows and crossbows poked out from the side of the big boat and aimed at them, they also dropped their weapons in a familiar manner, surrendered and were captured, and they were all arrested.
Uncle Zheng, who was standing on the shore, felt very ridiculous when he heard the news, but on the battlefield, this kind of confusing thing is common.
Uncle Zheng returned to the boat, intending to see the situation.
As soon as I got on the boat, I heard my subordinates report:
"Uncle, there's another boat over there."
"Oh?"
Uncle Zheng walked to the side of the ship and found that there was indeed another ship on the opposite side, but that ship should have been loaded with a lot of things, so it was relatively slow, and it should be with the previous two ships.
Uncle Zheng glanced around and said:
"Escort these men down to me."
"Whoa!"
The deck was soon cleaned, and the ship laden with boxes finally approached.
The Yan sergeant on the deck took the initiative to open the deck and threw down the rope, which can be said to be a courtesy.
Ah Ming moved a chair and asked Uncle Zheng to sit on it and wait.
Not long after, a group of people came up.
The leader is actually a white-haired old man, the old man's body is quite tough, and he can climb up by himself by holding the rope and stepping on the rope ladder without being supported.
Beside the old man, there were still some men in armor, but these people were obviously not used to wearing armor on weekdays, and when they suddenly wore them, they were loose and loose, and they didn't look like a serious person at all.
This group of people gave people an extremely greasy feeling, even if the old man was in good spirits, but as soon as he saw Uncle Zheng sitting there, his face was immediately filled with that flattering smile.
In fact, there are also this kind of people in the military who like to pull relationships and mix circles, and there are also such people in any industry;
But the problem is that the captives who were captured before, they look like they still have at least a little bit of Lianjiazi, although the armor is a little messy, but they can also cut people.
And the second batch of people who came up seemed to have never held a knife at all in their lives.
The old man knelt down,
The crowd behind him also knelt down in unison:
"Minion, please say hello to the nobles of the Qu family, dare to ask, you are ........."
Old man, this group of people, including the guards of the two ships they went first, should really recognize the wrong person.
He took the initiative to lean up, thinking that he had touched Qu's fleet.
Although Qu lost the main force of the Qingluan Army under Yupan City in the early years, and also lost Qu Tiannan, the pillar country in the clan, he was robbed of his bride on the day of the princess's wedding and became a laughing stock among the nobles;
but
The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen;
Just looking at the fact that the Qu family can directly oppress the Liang State with the power of a clan, and there is still strength to breathe, you can see how deep the heritage of this family is.
Behind the scenes, it's one thing to ridicule it, but when it's face-to-face, you have to bow your head.
Uncle Zheng smiled,
The group of people in front of me is really a little ...... I can't see the situation clearly.
However, it's really hard to blame them, this is the range of Gyeonggi Land, normal, who would have thought that there would be a fleet of swallows here?
Uncle Zheng replied:
"So-and-so, Qu Peiluo."
"Ah, it turned out to be a donkey......... It turned out to be General Zuo. ”
"See General Zuo."
"See General Zuo."
General Zuo is Qu Peiluo's general, in fact, it is useless, because the imperial court gives this and will not give you a single soldier, you Qu Peiluo can still only control the internal power of the Qu family.
This is just a kind of compensation given by the imperial court after the master of the horse fails.
"Who are you?"
Uncle Zheng asked.
"Back to General Zuo's words, the Zhang family of Lao Yuyue County."
"Zhang's family?"
Uncle Zheng cast his eyes around.
For a while, He Chunlai, Siniang and others were all recalling which nobles the Zhang family was in Dachu.
Even Ah Ming,
After taking a sip of wine,
looked around, frowned slightly, and pretended to be thinking.
The old man was not ashamed, because of a small family like him who couldn't even go up the ranks, how could the young master of the Qu family know?
"General Zuo, the lintel of Zhang's house is hanging low, and he can't get into the eyes of General Zuo, but Zhang's father-in-law and Zhang Guan, who is next to the king, are old and decrepit nephews."
"Oh,,, it's from Gonggong Zhang's family?"
The old man immediately showed a smile on his face, and vaguely, a kind of pride could be seen,
Road:
"Exactly, exactly."
"Father-in-law Zhang, the relationship with Ben Bo, cough, and General Ben is excellent."
"That's nature, that's nature, General Zuo is a real nobleman, young and heroic, and his nephews often mention General Zuo in their letters, saying that they admire General Zuo's demeanor."
In the officialdom, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and it is easy not to offend people.
Especially, to the chamberlain.
Uncle Zheng fell into deep thought,
The Zhang family in front of him, oh, the Zhang family from Yue County, no wonder it looks so unreliable, although Uncle Zheng disdains to agree with the statement that the nobles are born noble, but the family that has been rich for more than three generations or has been inherited for hundreds of years, this person has been a master for too long, and there will indeed be a "fairy energy" on his body, which is the so-called ...... Aristocratic temperament.
Zhang Guan, it should be the eunuch position of Chu State, since he is sadly going to be a eunuch, it is obvious that this Zhang family, ten or twenty years ago, should have been extremely miserable.
Generally speaking, if you are not cornered, who will go to your own work?
Therefore, later, with the gradual rise of the father-in-law Zhang, the Zhang family of Yuexian County gradually had a point of cards.
This old man grovelled in front of him, that was because he was under the banner of the Qu clan, but on the boundary of Yue County, he should be able to walk sideways.
But
If he found out his true identity later,
It should be a hundred times more frightened than seeing the young patriarch of the Qu clan.
As soon as I thought of this,
A smile appeared on the corner of Uncle Zheng's mouth.
The old man smiled when he saw Uncle Zheng, but he would be mistaken,
Opening:
"General Zuo, is you also here to defend the king?"
Uncle Zheng's breathing suddenly shortened, and his body immediately stiffened.
Deep down, a monstrous wave has been set off.
but
Uncle Zheng still forcibly suppressed the fluctuations of emotions,
Very easy-going, "um",
Road;
"You too?"
"So that General Zuo knows, although my Zhang family is not ranked, but my Zhang family's loyal and patriotic heart, heaven and earth can be learned, this time it is the clan nephew to send a message, call the old and decrepit to scatter the family wealth, recruit the brave, and come to defend the king.
hehe
There is also a little bit of caution, that is, the king can look at our loyalty, and he can help my Zhang family mention the ranking, the lowest, the lowest. ”
The old man obviously really thought that his nephew really had a good relationship with the young master of the Qu family, so he even dared to say this kind of "heart-digging" words.
Uncle Zheng swallowed his saliva, his hands were already trembling a little,
but
Or said:
"General Ben, naturally, is also here to defend His Majesty."
"Then, Lao asked General Zuo to let me wait to go to meet the king together, my nephew must be extremely grateful to General Zuo, my Zhang family in Yue County, and I will also look forward to the Qu family in the future."
Uncle Zheng nodded and said:
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, this is what General Ben should do, but General Ben still has some things to unload here, and it needs to be delayed for a while."
"Me too, me too, my ship is full of tribute to the king, of course, General Zuo also has a share."
"If Elder Zhang wants to go with General Ben, he will have to wait a little longer, but we can let the tribute go first."
"Yes, yes, anyway, it's not far from Yangcheng, let the people below ............ Ahh.........hh
The old man's neck was pinched by Uncle Zheng's hand, and the whole person was lifted up, and he looked at Uncle Zheng who was pinching him with a look of horror and pain.
previously
The reason why they are still going around in circles,
I don't want to use force directly, because Uncle Zheng doesn't want to take risks, although this wave of people in front of him is not like it, but who knows if he will meet the kind of Chu State recklessness with a greasy face but really "loyal to the monarch and patriotic" in his heart?
Therefore, Uncle Zheng was patient, and slowly talked about it first, and now, it has come out.
Set out,
A surprise,
One
What a surprise!
At this moment,
Uncle Zheng even had a kind of cold arrows and throwing stones that he had suffered on the battlefield before, all of which were to accumulate character, all for the sake of the explosion of character at this time!
"Regent, in Yangcheng?"
The old man, obviously not a person who can hold up the big scene, was frightened by the momentum on Uncle Zheng's body, and he directly lost his inbandit.
In the end, it was a small family that was forcibly promoted by the eunuch clan, and it couldn't be put on the stage.
Uncle Zheng frowned slightly and threw it on the ground.
He Chunlai immediately drew the knife and placed it across the old man's neck.
"Yes, yes, yes, the king's Luan is in Yangcheng, and it is my nephew, and the nephew wrote to me."
The Zhang family behind the old man immediately nodded yes, confirming the old man's words.
"Huh......... Hehehe............ Hahahahaha............ha
Uncle Zheng just chuckled at first, and then burst out laughing.
forthwith
Uncle Zheng instantly closed his voice,
A slightly condensed gaze swept around,
Ordered:
"Passing on the military order of Benbo, I ordered Jin Shuke, Gou Moli, Fan Li, and the three-way soldiers and horses to surround Yangcheng.
Wave the black dragon flag and the 'Zheng' flag, inform my eldest brother, and ask him to wait for a while, but also to prepare a little;
His sister-in-law,
Come to him,
Greetings! ”
