Chapter 10: The Grand Plan (4)
Chapter 10 (4)
"Yes!" the generals agreed excitedly, led their headquarters and horses, and went straight to the city. The whole battle went smoothly and unexpectedly. Without losing a single soldier, the entire city was controlled under the control of the Shenwu Praetorian Guard.
It didn't take a single arrow to take the city, of course, which made the generals inexplicably excited. The morale of the soldiers seems to have increased several times in an instant. However, the privy envoy Wang Jun's heart was like a fist smashed on a cotton bale, and he was very uncomfortable empty. After entering the city, he turned a blind eye to the faces around him who were asking for merit and rewards, and after a little hesitation, he gave the scouts the order to continue searching for the enemy's traces.
"No need to search, it must have gone to Huazhou!" Wang Jian relied on his close relationship with Wang Jun, and made a judgment with confidence without waiting for the scouts to leave, "The city wall of Linghe Town is less than half the height of Yuzhou, and it is not surrounded by a moat. That pillar didn't even dare to defend the city, how could he have the courage to resist stubbornly in the corner of the Spirit River?"
"That's not necessarily, Linghe Town is Linghe Ferry to the north. Seeing that the situation is not good, the shaft can still board the boat and run back to Hebei directly!" Fan Aineng was ordered to intercept the ambush soldiers before, but he didn't even see the shadow of an ambush, and he was disdainful of Chai Rong in his heart. Listening to Wang Jun's words, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Wouldn't that have thrown away all the emperor's people?"
"If you don't lose your life, you lose your life, it's you, which one do you choose?"
"Haha......"
"Hahahaha......"
The generals shook their heads with a smile as they shouted. It was as if what was just captured was not an empty city, but a heavily guarded Xiongdu.
Hearing everyone's nonsense, Wang Jun's heart became more and more lost. However, he sensibly did not say anything to drink. The reason is very simple, in the past few days, the pressure on everyone's hearts is too great, and they urgently need an outlet to vent. If they don't have a chance to brag a few words, maybe someone will completely collapse, and they won't have the courage to face the "rebels" again, let alone withstand Chai Rong's full blow!
With 3,000 to 10,000, four cities will be conquered within two days. The banks of the Yellow River surrendered without a fight, and several states on Gyeonggi Road changed their banners. Chai Rong's record is so brilliant that it is so brilliant that people need to look up. It is brilliant enough to forget that there is a gap of more than fifteen times between the forbidden army and the "rebel army" at this moment.
"Report, Privy Councillors, Generals. Just as Wang Jun was annoyed by what he heard, a young general surnamed Wang, who was in charge of searching the whole city, rushed to the banner of Shuai out of breath, holding a notice in both hands, "The last general found it in the city, and found the notice of the abolished prince." ”
"How many copies have been found, what does it say?!" Wang Jun's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly didn't bother to pay attention to the nonsense of Fan Aineng and the others, took a few steps forward, and asked loudly while taking the notice.
"A lot, the last general has already sent people to tear it apart!" "The young general surnamed Wang thought for a while, and hesitantly added, "It said above, the waste prince said above that he knew that the privy council had come from afar, and specially vacated the city to give the privy envoy a rest." If the privy envoy wanted to find him, he waved his army and continued north to the side of Linghe Town. Don't be embarrassed...... Don't take it, don't hurt the civilians nearby!"
"The old man can use him!" Wang Jun's face turned blue again. Expand the notice to quickly browse. "If you put it up, you will buy people's hearts!"
The notices were written at length, but in plain language. Anyone who is literate will be able to easily read what is stated above. The main meaning that Chai Rong wanted to express was indeed as reported by the junior general, suggesting that Wang Jun keep the battle between him and himself in the army and the court, and not affect the ordinary people. Otherwise, no matter which side wins, the country will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to stop the iron hooves of the Khitans.
"The little rabbit cub thinks beautifully, and uses a piece of paper to trick us into going to Linghe Town, so he can flee directly to Huazhou! Privy, please allow the last general to cut off his head for you!" Before Wang Jun could decide whether to believe Chai Rong's words, Wang Jian, the deputy commander of the left army of the Shenwu Praetorian Guard, had already opened his throat again and shouted loudly.
"False and real, this shaft, the guts are only the size of a rabbit. There are a lot of ghost tricks!"
"Who said he was going to Linghe Town? Why don't we gamble?"
"Isn't this trying to cover up?"
Li Gang, Fan Aineng and other generals did not believe that Chai Rong was really like the proclamation he left, honestly waiting for a decisive battle with the army in Linghe Town. They all stepped forward and shouted.
Who would have thought that everyone's words would not have any influence on Wang Jun, the privy envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I saw that this person's face was getting greener and bluer, and suddenly, he waved his arm down vigorously and ordered loudly, "Someone, give the order, immediately reorganize the army, and go to Linghe Town!"
"Privy, be careful......" The generals couldn't believe their ears, and were stunned, and reminded in unison.
When the two armies were fighting, they paid attention to not getting tired of deceit. How could anyone tell his opponent the truth about his whereabouts? and in such a situation where there was such a huge disparity in strength between them? Unless, unless Chai Rong was already crazy, or thought that he was sure of victory!
"The old man said to organize the army, and immediately go to Linghe Town, twenty miles away, to find the rebels for a decisive battle!" Wang Jun turned a deaf ear to everyone's reminders, raised his head, looked around, and repeated loudly.
His intuition told him that Chai Rong was not lying. At this moment, the little shaft is in Linghe Town. The little ruler and his two sworn brothers both have the same eyes above the top. deceived the army to go around Linghe Town, but he hid in Huazhou City to survive, the three of them didn't know how to do it, and they didn't bother to do it!
Sure enough, the situation was as Wang Jun expected. The Shenwu Praetorian Guard had just left the city five or six miles away, and the scouts who had been sent out earlier ran back like a few, "Report, Privy Secret, ten miles away in the northeast, the enemy army has been discovered, the scale is unknown!"
"Ten miles to the northeast, how far is it from Linghe Town!" Wang Jun frowned, and a little pride instantly swelled up on his face.
His judgment was not wrong, and he rarely made mistakes in his life. Whether it is judging the enemy's situation, or judging one's own people.
"No, less than ten miles!" the scout who came to report the news grabbed his mount and quickly replenished while gasping, "The enemy, the enemy seems to be preparing for a field battle, and the rest of the brothers, the rest of the brothers are trying to find out the surrounding situation!"
"Okay, enough seeds! This is not to disappoint Guo Jiaque'er's single-minded cultivation!" Wang Jun clenched his fists and waved, his excitement overflowing, "The whole army is speeding up, destroying the erections, and entering Linghe Town tonight to celebrate the success!"
"Extinguish the shaft and hold a banquet to celebrate!"
"Extinguish the shaft and hold a banquet to celebrate!"
......
In all directions, the shouts rang out. Every general's face showed a bit of weird ease!
It's finally time for a decisive battle, and everyone doesn't have to worry about it every day. Whether it is success or failure, we will see it today!
"Extinguish the shaft and hold a banquet to celebrate!"
"Extinguish the shaft and hold a banquet to celebrate!"
......
Amid the excited slogans, the 50,000-strong army slowly accelerated, like a hungry python, and rushed towards Linghe Town.
They may not have the moral upper hand, they may not have the slightest popular support. However, the scale of them at the moment was fifteen times greater than that of Chai Rong's side. They, even if they use people, can grind the "rebels" alive into powder.
People are in the excitement and do not feel the change of time. It seems that after only half a pillar of incense, everyone's ears have faintly heard the roar of the Yellow River. Immediately after, I saw seven of my own scouts, who were followed and killed by more than 100 Cangzhou rangers, one by one, covered in blood.
"Damn, actually bullying less with more!" Before Wang Jun could give the order, Wang Jian had already shouted loudly and shot out with a whole battalion of cavalry. In the blink of an eye, he met his own scout. Then he roared again, and the wolves pounced on the Cangzhou rangers.
The Cangzhou Ranger Colonel, who led the team to chase and kill the scouts of the forbidden army, saw that the situation was not good, and he was not reckless, so he took out a copper whistle and put it in his mouth and blew it a few times, turned his horse and left. Relying on his crotch to get off the horse quickly, in a few breaths, he was out of the sight of Wang Jian and others!
"Cowards, you will rely on more to win!" Wang Jian thought he was proud, spat a few mouthfuls on the ground, and returned with his brothers "triumphantly". As soon as he walked near the handsome banner, he was about to show his contribution to his brother, when suddenly, there was a clear suona sound behind him.
"Doot dot dot toot toot toot toot ......"
"Doot dot dot toot toot toot toot ......"
"Doot dot dot toot toot toot toot ......"
One is louder than the other, and the other is more unruly than the other!
It was the Cangzhou Army, and only they gave up the traditional horn and used suona and copper whistles as communication signals in the ranks. It's just that today's suona sound, how can it be so grand. It doesn't sound like three thousand cavalry at all, but it has increased several times out of thin air. Unless, unless they're playing tricks again!
With the instinct of a military general, Wang Jian keenly sensed that the situation was not good. He sat up straight and quickly turned his head. I saw that on the dark yellow earth not far away, an army with a size of definitely not less than 20,000 people slowly drove up. The scarlet battle flag is waving in the wind. Like a group of dancing flames, all the scenery between heaven and earth suddenly lost their color in an instant!
"Impossible!" he rubbed his eyes vigorously a few times, and looked at it again.
The flames continued to beat, barely in sight. Indeed, the size of the enemy's army was not three thousand! but increased tenfold or even more out of thin air!
"Say, where did the Cangzhou army come from, how could there be so many? You, why didn't you group of wastes come to report earlier!" The next moment, Fan Aineng's voice sounded in his ears, angry and desperate.
"Cangzhou army scouts, Cangzhou army scouts set traps and besieged us. I'll wait, I'll wait, I found out that something was wrong, and broke through separately, it's over, it's too late!" The few forbidden army scouts who were lucky enough to survive gasped and defended. lest it be too late to speak, and die in the hands of his own people.
"Don't embarrass them, it's the old man who was negligent for a while and fell for the little erection!" At the critical moment, Wang Jun dared to act. He waved his hand at Fan Aineng, and then asked the scout with a pleasant face, "Have you finally found out the enemy's situation? What is the approximate scale? Who led the soldiers? Where did they come from?"
"Three, thirty thousand, definitely not less than thirty thousand!" the scout continued to gasp as he dutifully reported, his words like thunder, "Look at the flag is Zheng, Zheng Ziming! I waited, I waited to see, I saw many, many big ships!"
