Chapter 17: Return the camp
"Sons, listen to my orders, quickly raise your swords, quickly open your bows, and kill the cadres around you to welcome the Yan people into the city!"
On the battlefield, he is good at arranging troops, adapting to changes, and judging the situation, which is the embodiment of the quality of the generals, and it is obvious that at this point, Liang Cheng is almost perfect.
But there are still some things that he has left the scope of the "battlefield", and he does not belong to the list of examining the quality of generals, nor does he belong to the "strange" in the middle of the odds.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing is done by the private role in the temple.
But in the present,
A Zheng Fan, after thinking about making a fuss about Mrs. Daxi, is already very dirty.
Put on a blind man, this is a master who likes to bask in the sun on weekdays for fear that he will be moldy if he has bad water in his stomach for too long, and he is naturally dirty of dirty.
In terms of spiritual power, "soul searching", in fact, it is not impossible for a blind man to read the other party's memory in a short time, but now he can't do this, unless the lord can compete with the level of Jing Nanhou, maybe he can be so chic.
But not being able to speak "vernacular" is only a minor matter,
After this sentence of "Zhongyuan Dialect", the effect was quickly reflected.
Anyway, it provokes them to infighting, and it doesn't matter who makes the first move.
After the shouting of "Mrs. Daxi",
The cadres on the city wall were instantly startled, and immediately looked at the wolf soldiers beside them with suspicious eyes, and two cadres with crossbow arrows directly aimed the crossbow at the wolf soldiers on their sides.
One of them,
The trigger was pulled.
"Buzz!"
"Poof!"
The crossbow bolt went straight into the wolf's body,
This scene happened very suddenly, but it was so watchful.
The cadres on the other side immediately aimed their knives at the wolf soldiers beside them, which added fuel to the fire.
The reason why Qianguo likes to use wolf soldiers is because they fight fiercely and it is very convenient to use them to quell the rebellion, and secondly, because they want to mobilize the western army guarding the southwest mountains to go north, so they use a lot of money to seduce the Tusi to contribute their own troops to the north together, and they are also worried that there will be chaos in the southwest after the western army goes north.
Therefore, there is a great distrust between the natives and the dry people, plus the wolf soldiers have just been defeated, and their Daxi Lady was captured by the Yan people, these wolf soldiers are in a state of panic.
For historical reasons and the current atmosphere, that crossbow arrow exploded here in an instant.
The wolf soldiers began to raise their knives, and the cadres also began to raise their knives, and the infighting between the two sides unfolded in this extremely ridiculous way.
Meng Hui looked at the current situation with some dumbfounded, things happened too fast, and Mrs. Da Xi changed too quickly, until now, Meng Hui couldn't believe why Mrs. Da Xi dared to ignore the people in her village, even if she was coerced by the Yan people, she shouldn't have shouted such words, even if she was tortured and persecuted, it was impossible to change so quickly!
Therefore,
At this point,
Meng Heng lost control of the situation, because it was not his general's responsibility in the first place.
Normally, the generals are responsible for fighting the war outside, and the imperial court is responsible for logistics and supply in the back, arranging suitable soldiers and horses for the generals to command as much as possible, but this wolf soldier is not something that Meng Heng can command at all.
If the soldiers and horses given to him in Mianzhou City were the Western Army or the three towns in the north of Qianguo, Meng Hui even dared to deliberately let the Yan people in more when they entered the city, and then close the door and beat the dogs.
But now, he can only work hard to support the situation from completely collapsing, and what he has done is nothing more than to obey the fate of God.
This is a beautiful woman, but there are two dirty ratios on the other side.
Meng Heng's eyes began to redden, and he held the knife in his hand, but in his heart, he was confused.
On the contrary,
Outside the city,
Zheng Fan was very happy in his heart.
The knights began to readjust their state, and the sound of fighting in the city was so clear, they knew that their opportunity had come.
No one will dislike military achievements, whether it is a barbarian or a gate lord prisoner, they all have a strong desire for the first rank.
Because since the last attack on Qianguo, Zheng Fan has somewhat realized that his "racist discrimination" against barbarians is inappropriate.
Liang Cheng understood Zheng Fan's meaning and conveyed it to the blind man, who immediately understood the spirit conveyed by the Lord.
Under the operation of the blind man, in addition to having a dream in their minds after being brainwashed, the barbarians also have a pursuit that is right in front of them.
That is, they can rely on military merits to obtain the status of Yan nationals, and they can grant land, which is equivalent to getting a Yan State household registration.
Naturally, the household registration of Yanguo is not as good as that of Shangjing in Qianguo, because Shangjing in Qianguo is well-deserved to be the largest city in the world, and the highly developed industries of commerce and trade, culture and other industries are simply the most brilliant pearl in the world.
But for the barbarians from the criminal tribe, it is already an extremely precious opportunity to obtain the household registration of the Yan people, and they and their children and grandchildren no longer have to face the shadow of the butcher's knife of the Zhenbei Army.
however
Just when the army's spirit was vigorous again, and they were about to find an opportunity to storm the city again, the two sentinels returned.
After Liang Cheng got the report, he immediately rode over to Zheng Fan's side:
"Lord, the figure of the dry cavalry has appeared on the periphery."
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Which side?"
"South."
Zheng Fan frowned, "South? ”
If the cavalry came from the north, it should have been the cavalry of the Three Towns to come to support, but they should not be so fast.
This time, the Qiancai came from the south, which means that it is likely that the Qianguo troops are heading north.
This wolf army is actually the first batch of troops to go north, which means that the follow-up troops are not far away.
Zheng Fan glanced around, the current chaos in the city was telling him that this was a good time to try to rush the door again, but this city could not be defended after all.
I brought cavalry, and the number was not enough, relying on the quality and mobility of individual soldiers.
"Withdraw!"
Zheng Fan made a decision.
Mrs. Daxi looked at Zheng Fan with some grievances,
Co-authoring his own male to female, just to listen to a little noise?
But a blind man is blind after all, and he rarely does impulsive things because of his emotions, so Mrs. Daxi's body trembled and she fainted.
"Ali, protect the blind man's body."
"Yes, Lord!"
Zheng Fan's eyes looked at the more than two hundred captured soldiers kneeling on the side,
There was a touch of compassion on his face,
Road:
"They are also poor people, God has the virtue of a good life, Mrs. Daxi, we will take it away, and the rest of the people, let them go, I will not kill prisoners."
"Your subordinates understand, Lord." Liang Cheng nodded.
After Zheng Fan finished speaking, he waved his hand, rode his horse to the north, and a team of cavalry followed Zheng Fan and began to gallop north.
Liang Cheng stayed behind a little,
To the surrounding cavalry ordered:
"Kill them all."
"Yes!"
……
It's a pity that you didn't capture Mianzhou City, because this city is lying very fragile in front of you twice, as if it is deliberately seducing you in, with a little rejection for the sake of the atmosphere.
But the army of Castle Willow did not really enter this time.
The soldiers and horses did lose some.
But thanks to Mrs. Daxi's wave of divine operation, she sent a wave of heads.
Therefore, this raid is still a full load, and in terms of first-level military merits alone, it is really far more than what Zheng Fan got when he entered the city last time.
This is still on the basis of Zheng Fan's huge gains before counting the dwarf assassins in his own team.
The journey back to the north was not all smooth sailing, because the three towns in the north did react after receiving the news of the beacon fire.
However, as Zheng Fan said when he and Zhenbei Hou roasted a leg of mutton last time, give me a little more people, and I can let the cadres send me out of the country.
This time, the cadres did not send them out of the country, but in the face of the more than 1,000 Yanren iron cavalry with fierce spirits, the 1,201 cadres and cavalry really did not dare to step forward to stop them.
Obviously, there is an opportunity to delay, but they dare not go up, and some only dare to follow from afar, doing their best.
Even, when the cavalry team of Cuiliu Fort changed direction, those dry cavalry had to retreat.
The cadres are waiting for the arrival of their main force, but their main force has been huddled in the military town in the military town in the past few months, to be precise, after being forced to retreat by the 10,000 iron cavalry of the Jingnan Army led by the Marquis of Jingnan, so it is almost impossible to come in time.
Even if they arrived in time, how could they catch up with the more than 1,000 cavalry that were unceremoniously galloping directly to the north without the attached troops to take the initiative to intercept and delay?
This is a cavalry, a cavalry with two horses!
On the way back, the morale of the army was still strong, because they were not defeated, but triumphant.
Unless there was a cadre cavalry of nearly two thousand men in front, there was no way to force them to change direction.
The reason why Zheng Fan was chased last time and had to pull and hide in the east and west was because there were too few soldiers that time, and he brought out four hundred barbarian cavalry, and he lost some when he stormed the city, and when he went, he was not too well prepared, so he was inevitably a little tired, so when facing the pursuit of the Qianren, he chose to retreat and bypass, and in the end, if it wasn't for the Marquis of Jingnan, it is estimated that he would have been explained in Qianguo.
But this time, there was no more of the last problem.
Everyone wanted to go back, because this time the first grade merit was enough for the convict soldiers to free their families, and also for the barbarian soldiers to obtain household registration.
Moreover, the hairstyle of the wolf soil soldiers, including the pendants on their ears, etc., is considered to be a very easy to distinguish the head, and there will be no trouble when liquidating the head, so there is no need to worry about being said to be a good kill.
However, the first person to eat crabs is always the luckiest, because after this bloody lesson, the wolf soldiers probably don't dare to make such an exaggerated operation as chasing the cavalry on the plains.
"Yes, Lord, look at it, there are so many dry cavalry escorting us."
The blind man was unconscious, carried by Fan Li on his shoulder.
Xue San is not here, and he doesn't know if he is dead.
Liang Cheng is commanding the army, and Siniang is only suitable for night,
Therefore, Ah Ming can only chat with Zheng Fan at this time.
"Huh."
Zheng Fan smiled.
Around the team, behind the team, the contingent of Qianren cavalry gathered began to increase more and more, but they would soon be thrown away, because the endurance of the Qianren cavalry was not good, and it could not compare with the extravagant configuration of one person and two horses here, and besides, they did not have the determination to take the initiative to attack and fight.
They are all cavalrymen, and they are all experts, what is the quality and temperament of the cavalry in front of them, they know in their hearts, if they are blindfolded, then they may try, but seeing themselves as eggs and stones, no one wants to do this.
It can be said that the cadres have suppressed military force with literature for nearly 100 years, and the evil results have already appeared; although there are indeed good generals among the cadres and some soldiers who are not afraid of death with enthusiasm, the overall military atmosphere is still extremely sluggish.
The low social status of military personnel must be extremely bitter because of the kind of self-abandonment and lack of sense of honor created by the kind of self-abandonment and lack of sense of honor.
It's just that Zheng Fan was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, and shouted:
"If you give Lao Tzu another seven or eight thousand cavalry, Lao Tzu won't have to run away!"
Zheng Fan felt that the more than 1,000 cavalry under his command, with the advantage of equipment in front and Liang Cheng's command in front, might have a gap with the Zhenbei Army, but compared with the same number of Jingnan Army, it was really equal.
If there are 10,000 iron cavalry of the Jingnan Army under his hands at this time, don't say that Mianzhou City must have been broken before, just say that when you run away at this time, you can also be as leisurely and leisurely as a spring outing, and you can even exchange souvenirs with these chasing Qianren cavalry.
Zheng Fan used to have an uncle in his hometown, and he talked about it at the family New Year's party, when he was on the front line of Laoshan in the past, he exchanged canned meat with the Vietnamese devils opposite, saying that it was his own canned food, and he had long been tired of eating it.
At that time, Zheng Fan was still very puzzled, fighting, can he still be like this?
Now, he understands a little, as long as you have the confidence, it can indeed be like this.
"Hehe, isn't this the same as before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs?" Ah Ming said.
Many people only know that Wu Sangui led the Manchu Qing into the customs, but they don't know that in fact, in the previous years, the Houjin Eight Banners had broken through the customs several times, burned and looted all the way to Beijing City to walk a horse, and asked Emperor Chongzhen on the city wall to say goodbye.
When the Houjin retreated, carrying the looted goods, it was naturally not fast, but the Ming army only dared to follow behind, and waited for the Houjin soldiers to retreat and leave the city, when the Ming army entered and announced the "liberation" of the city, and sent it to the people to leave the customs.
In the last years of the dynasty, after the armament was slackened, and the soldiers and generals who could fight withered away, it was easy for similar scenes to occur.
In Zheng Fan's opinion, this great cadre is really in line with the scene of the end of the dynasty, he failed to die twice, and he returned with a full load, which is the best proof.
The only thing that puzzled Zheng Fan was probably that the Marquis of Jingnan came back early in the morning, but he had only ordered the leaders of the miscellaneous army below to come out to forage for food and make trouble, and the Jingnan army camp had not made any moves.
Is this waiting for an opportunity?
Zheng Fan knew that the Marquis of Jingnan had been waiting for the main forces of the cadres on the three sides to take the bait, so that he could eat the main forces of the three sides in one go, but now there are obviously capable people in the court, and the Taiwei Yang who originally "lost power and humiliated the country" and retreated has not been transferred, and has continued his policy of shrinking, and the main forces of the cadres everywhere have already gone north.
If this is really a protracted war and the turtle can't shrink, what should Yan Guo do?
Fortunately, although Zheng Fan is an officer of the Yan people, he does not have the consciousness of being a Yan person, and being able to eat well and develop well is the first priority, as for the future, let him go.
The cavalry, galloping until the east, began to turn white, and most of the dry cavalry either ran out of horsepower or gave up following when they saw that the border was coming.
However, in the rear, there was still a cavalry of more than 1,000 people, still in hot pursuit.
It's just that the quality of the other party's war horses is not as good as Zheng Fan's side, so they haven't been able to catch up, and the cadres in front of them have no one to help delay time when they launch a suicidal charge.
Raising cavalry is a very expensive thing, and the cavalry of Cuiliu Fort are all horses from the desert, and their quality is first-class in all aspects.
In fact, including Zheng Fan, many people in later generations are familiar with horses, are the kind of horses that are usually seen in amusement parks or on the highway, with Yunnan horses being the majority, this kind of horse is small and strong, on the high mountains, walking on dangerous paths, although dozens of miles do not know how to sweat.
But the real war horse, the so-called "high-headed horse", is definitely a completely different experience, otherwise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the era that Zheng Fan was familiar with would not have been so excited because he got the bloody horse.
Finally, the cavalry of Cuiliu Fort broke through the defense line of the fortress in front of Qianguo, and this time the fortress only released wolf smoke, and no one dared to come out to stop this menacing iron horse.
Zheng Fan turned his head and looked at the cavalry behind him who had been chasing him from the outskirts of Mianzhou City last night, and smiled,
I came quietly,
I went away again with great pride,
You're chasing me!
……
The silver-armored general, who had been chasing the leader for half the night, raised his hand, and the cavalry slowed down their horses, in fact, the horses under their crotches were already a little overdrawn.
"Major General, this Yan cavalry is too fast, they still have horses to change."
The silver-armored general's face was as deep as water,
A disdainful voice was made:
"It's not that the Yan people run fast, it's that the trilateral officers and soldiers of my big cadres are afraid of the enemy like tigers."
"Major General, be cautious, be cautious, this is not at home."
"Be cautious, I, Zhong Tianlang, have never seen such a waste of officers and soldiers in my life!"
…………
The Western Army entered the city, and the fighting between the wolf soldiers and the local cadres was also stopped.
The wolf soldiers are not afraid of the local Mianzhou cadres, but they have a deep fear of the western army of the Qianguo.
A white-bearded veteran drove into Mianzhou City under the escort of his own soldiers,
Looking at this messy scene,
The veteran smiled,
In the midst of laughter,
With Morihan.
………
Inside the city, in the back kitchen of a vacant caravan branch mansion, a small figure rummaged through the clay pots inside, and he found the salt pots.
He took out the head wrapped in cloth in his hand, rubbed several handfuls of salt, and began to apply it to him, and inside the package, there were accessories and documents that could prove the identity of the owner of the head.
"Come, lord, let's wipe some here, and here, we can't miss it."
Xue San rubbed it very carefully.
After the killing, another army entered the city and quickly took control of the city's defenses.
Originally, Xue San, who wanted to take the opportunity to leave with his head, muttered a little, this cadre army that came out of nowhere had an extremely strong intention of killing, and in terms of defense, it was very strict.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue San didn't take the risk of leaving directly, but first rubbed powder on Prince Fu.
After the powder was rubbed, Xue San found some food like bacon in the kitchen, wrapped King Fu's head again, and jumped into a well in the courtyard.
In winter, the water level is not high, and the space at the bottom of the well is actually quite large, after Xue San went down, he first drank two sips of water, and then took out the bacon and nibbled on two bites, and he didn't feel unpalatable, nor was it difficult to swallow at all.
As an Assassin, waiting for a target to appear in a hostile environment, even for a month, is nothing more than a drizzle.
After eating and drinking a little, and replenishing the needs of his body, Xue San held King Fu's head in his arms and patted it lightly with his hand,
Talking to himself:
"Alas, the Lord must have been in a hurry when they found out that I was missing."
