Zhao Gong led the troops to the north and south, and after a few years, he has developed his ability to lead troops to fight. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, Zhao Gongxian ordered the newly recruited soldiers to break up the enemy's formation with muskets, and then he galloped with the main force of the elite Kuzhong battalion, directly into the core of the three armies of the Tusi army.

Although Zhao Gong came out of the mountain, his soldiers were noble and fast, and the Tusi soldiers had not experienced major battles, and the battle formations were very scattered, so they were not the opponents of his elite troops at all.

Almost at the moment when the two armies intersected, Tusi's coalition army was scattered by the soldiers and horses of the "Kuzhong Battalion".

In the end, the Tusi army was killed and fled, and many small Tusi even lost their armor and were cut off their heads under the fierce pursuit of the Ku Zhong battalion.

After he defeated Tusi, he pursued and killed the rebels with all his might, and ran out of a hundred and ten miles with his "Ku Zhong Battalion" in an attempt to wipe out all the rebels.

But unfortunately, this time, Zhao Gongke miscalculated.

Compared with the local Miao people, although Zhao Gong was brave and good at fighting, he really did not understand the local people's feelings, he rode his horse along the ridge to pursue, and soon slowed down under the barrier of the lofty mountains. At this time, he found that the army of the mountain people in these places could not fight, and it was really first-class to escape, and the military horses were in the mountains where it was difficult to walk, and the people ran on the same flat ground, and the 10,000 horses disappeared as they ran, as if they had never appeared.

In this way, Zhao Gong chased from noon to evening, and did not catch a few prisoners, but the "Kuzhong Battalion" led by himself was out of touch with the large army, looking left and right, but he couldn't find the way he came.

Until nightfall, Zhao Gong's elite cavalry was not able to contact the main force.

Zhao Gong, who was lost, was really scared this time.

He knew that although this battle had been a great victory, it had not completely eliminated the forces of the Tusi rebellion, and the northwest of Guizhou was mountainous and mountainous, which was most suitable for sneak attacks and ambushes in the wild.

But between the mountains in the northwest of Guizhou, Zhao Gong didn't see the town in front of him, and he couldn't see the way he came after, so he reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted and he was helpless.

But at this time, a sharp-eyed spy returned with a horse, and the horse pointed to a vaguely recognizable mountain peak in the distance and said, "General, I see that there is a long-abandoned city on that mountain, which is suitable for camping. ”

When Zhao Gong heard this, he hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked up in the direction pointed by the sergeant, and sure enough, he found a gray-black stone walled city on a cliff outside the two mountains.

From a distance, the walled city is majestic and magnificent, but there is no banner and no people, and the whole village is lifeless, obviously has been abandoned for a long time.

Zhao Gong was very happy to see the cottage, he knew that the cottage was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a good place to set up camp, where he didn't have to worry about the counterattack of the Tusi army, and he could also wait for the support of the army.

The deserted village became the "lifeline" in Zhao Gong's eyes, he immediately rode his horse and whipped it, took the military horse to grab the mountain and seize the village, and finally occupied the cottage that had been abandoned for a long time before it was dark.

The moment the gate of the stockade was opened, a pungent musty smell rushed into Zhao Gong's nose.

This is indeed a very dilapidated place, Zhao Gong and his soldiers found that this cottage is in disrepair for a long time, most of the houses are unroofed, ruins, snakes, insects, rats and ants, it is not like a human being, more like a ghost town.

Even so, Zhao Gong and his "Ku Zhong Battalion" can endure it, they must be soldiers who crawl out of the pile of dead people, sleeping with corpses and even eating human flesh when hungry are commonplace, a moldy and broken city, Zhao Gong can endure it.

So the general gave an order, and his "soldiers" immediately rushed in, everyone built a fire and set up a tent, and killed a military horse to prepare to cook to satisfy hunger.

At this time, a new problem was placed in front of everyone.

All the soldiers were dazed to find that there was no water in this cliff-forged cottage. You can't cook meat without water, you can't quench your thirst without water.

Zhao Gong, who had been an imperial chef, was even more soberly aware that after a day and a night of fighting, the soldiers were at the limit of prostration, there was no food to eat, they could still persevere, there was no water to drink, people would definitely die, and even if they didn't do it in a dream, they would die of thirst.

In the predicament, Zhao Gong immediately mobilized everyone to look around for possible water sources, waiting to solve the urgent need.

But after searching around, the soldiers were disappointed.

The soldiers sent out to search inside and outside came back one after another, and the news that everyone brought back was very desperate, and no one could find a water source or anything else that could replace it.

Just when the army was extremely disappointed, a horse scout came in a hurry, holding a large porcelain bowl in his hand, and the bowl was full of a pool of water.

Zhao Gong looked at the bowl of water and was overjoyed, he hurriedly took the bowl and asked where the spy found the water source.

The tanma replied respectfully that it was not a water source, but that he had found a water urn in a pit in the cottage.

The sergeant was naturally overjoyed when he got the water urn, but he didn't dare to enjoy the coolness alone, so he first put some in a bowl and brought it to quench the general's thirst.

Zhao Gong, who got the water, was overflowing with joy, he knew that although this urn of water was not much, it was enough to relieve the urgent need, at least no one would die of thirst due to lack of water tonight.

At that time, Zhao Gong took the big bowl in Tanma's hand and prepared to drink all the water to irrigate his smoking throat.

But just as his mouth was about to touch the edge of the bowl, Zhao Gong stopped further behavior.

Because at this time, Zhao Gong saw many eyes, hungry and expectant eyes.

The masters of those eyes are the "soldiers" who have been born and died with him for many years.

Years of war experience have made Zhao Hong know that a combat effective unit does not lie in the number of personnel and equipment, but in strict military discipline and the unity of the soldiers.

In order to do this, the generals should set an example, not to engage in privileges, let alone enjoyment, and the "Lu Xiangsheng" and "Li Dingguo" that he admires most on weekdays and other famous anti-Qing celebrities are all governed in this way.

Looking at the clear water in the bowl, Zhao Hong suddenly realized that this bowl was not water, but a heavy military heart, if he drank this bowl of water, it would mean that he drank the military heart and drank the respect of the soldiers for himself.

So, Zhao Gong removed the water bowl from his lips, he handed the water bowl to Tanma, and ordered the soldiers to fetch the water from the urn, first quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger.

Afraid that the soldiers would not listen, Zhao Gong deliberately pulled out his waist knife, stuck it on the ground, and shouted: "This is a military order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

Zhao Gong gave an order, and Ku Zhong Yingshan shouted "allegiance", and then Qi brushed and kowtowed to Zhao Gong three times before standing up and taking water.

Soon, the small water urn was drunk by the sergeants.
