Chapter 9: Sudden Changes (2)
Zhang Lang was annoyed.
One wants to take the initiative, the other wants to respond to all changes with the same, who do you want to listen to, Zhang Lang couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after walking back and forth in the hall twice, he sat on the chair with a depressed buttocks, and soon fell into contemplation.
The generals also looked at Zhang Lang quietly, waiting for his final decision.
Dian Wei waited for a long time, and when he saw that Zhang Lang didn't mean to speak, he was a little anxious, and shouted: "Lord, don't think about it, just let Zilong take someone to kill him, why are there so many things?" ”
Zhang Lang raised his head and glared at him, and said angrily: "You know how to fight and kill all day long, can you be clever in your head?" ”
Dian Wei didn't expect Zhang Lang to be so angry, so he retreated to the side.
Zhang Lang groaned: "Since everyone has different opinions, then now I am the only one who has acted alone." ”
Everyone was in high spirits, knowing that Zhang Lang had made up their minds in their hearts, and they all hardened their ears, for fear of accidentally hearing it wrong.
Zhang Lang turned around slowly and said in a deep voice: "I think, it is better to take the initiative to attack than to sit and wait to be killed, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." ”
Tian Feng was shocked, and hurriedly came out and said: "By all means, my lord, Zhou Yu's actions are pure speculation, and there are still great variables. Once Xiyang City redeploys troops and horses, it will become a vacuum, in case of a surprise attack by the enemy, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist it. If there is a mistake in Xiyang City, the supply route of the army will be cut off, and I am afraid that it will be quite difficult to transfer at that time; Besides, whether Zhou Yu can really secretly return to Runan from Jiangxia is still a big question. This road is far away, and Liu Biao's army is constantly blocking, so I can't tell where he is still fighting. Therefore, the subordinates thought that the main public soldiers were out of the fine sun, which was really inappropriate. ”
Zhao Yun said disapprerovingly: "Mr. Tian, the opportunity on the battlefield is lost, if we delay here, in case Xu Huang's troops are blocked, what should we do?" Could it be that he watched Gao Shun fall? ”
Tian Feng shook his head and said: "It seems that the situation is really bad on the expression, several groups of people and horses are dragging the enemy army at the same time and can't move." But after careful analysis, it doesn't seem to be so bad. Lu Su in Xincai County was pinned down by Xu Sheng's troops, and it was easy to send out troops; Sun Quan's soldiers are small, and it is impossible to swallow General Chen Wu's 10,000 troops in one bite; Not to mention that General Xu commanded 15,000 of Jiangdong's most elite soldiers. Even if Zhou Yu really resists the attack, with the skills of the military division, he can be as stable as Mount Tai. Tian Feng paused, and then continued: "Besides, how many troops does Sun Ce have?" Even if the total number of the Yellow Turban Army does not exceed 50,000, he knows that it is impossible to fight a war of attrition with us. Now the troops are dividing the way, nothing more than trying to slow down the pace of our reinforcements, but in this way, they cannot concentrate the superior forces and break them with one blow. Therefore, General Gao Shun's situation is not as bad as Xiang Zhong. ”
Zhang Lang said: "Fu Hao, you don't know this Zhou Yu's ability, it is true that it is very difficult for him to repel Guo Jia; But Guo Jia wanted to repel Zhou Yu, which was also very difficult. Now the situation is not in my favor, the two armies are holding each other, and we are the ones who suffer. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to send out a team of surprise soldiers at this time, even if the number is not large, we can hold on to it and wait for the next two teams to come immediately. ”
Tian Feng still didn't give up and said: "Lord, if the troops go out of Xiyang, what if the enemy army comes, there will be no available soldiers in Xiyang." ”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Mr. Tian is too worried, didn't the former lord have sent someone to hurry up to Shouchun, think about it now that he has arrived, Xu Shu should also send troops to come immediately, Shouchun to Xiyang, the fast horse will not be seven days, the infantry will be about half a decade, and it will not take long for reinforcements to arrive." ”
Tian Feng didn't think about it and said: "The hardest thing is these few days." ”
Zhang Lang raised his hand to stop it, and said with a headache: "Don't make any noise, tidy up the soldiers in Xiyang City, and set off tomorrow morning." If Xiyang City really misses, it's not too late to counterattack. ”
Tian Feng sighed, knowing that he was powerless to persuade Zhang Lang, and retreated to the side.
Zhao Yun took the opportunity to ask for his life, and said loudly: "Lord, do you want your subordinates to lead the troops?" ”
Zhang Lang pondered: "Nowadays, most of the soldiers in Xiyang are old and weak, and there are very few who can really kill the enemy. If there is really a sneak attack by the enemy, with the strength of Xiyang City, it will not be able to resist at all, so I have decided to go together. After Zhang Lang finished speaking, he looked up at everyone with an irresistible look on his face.
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end I still feel that this is safer.
Subsequently, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun selected soldiers.
The next morning, Zhang Lang led 6,000 soldiers, including 4,000 soldiers with all kinds of minor injuries and old and weak, from Xiyang City to the area of Qingwuling in Kuiyang County. Only Tian Feng and hundreds of remnants of soldiers were left in Xiyang.
At the end of the first day, the march was sixty miles, but this had already made the soldiers tired and miserable.
Zhang Lang shook his head depressedly, the morale of the team was low, and the quality was average, how could he be on the field and fight? If the two armies really face each other, I am afraid that they will fall at the touch of a button. Although he was anxious, he couldn't do anything about it.
At night, a small number of soldiers dragged their tired bodies, held torches, and cheered up their spirits to patrol the area around the camp.
Zhang Lang has been walking back and forth for nearly half an hour in the Chinese army's village, and the whole person is in an irritable mood.
Yang Rong used her slender jade hand to hold her round chin, and her big black eyes naturally floated around with Zhang Lang's movements, and she stopped talking several times, with a worried look on her face.
"Hey", Zhang Lang sighed and finally sat down.
The night was getting deeper.
The faint morning star flickered in the clouds. A waning moon, on the other side of the distant mountain, quietly sank westward.
A gust of wind passed, and the trees whispered softly.
The whole camp was silent, with the occasional neighing of horses or two, and then with the sound of heavy footsteps, it went away......
The sentries who patrol the heights more than once yawned, their eyes were hazy, their heads were confused, and they were waiting for the next change of guard.
The darkness of the distance seemed to move in bursts with the sentry's confused eyes.
"What the fuck." The sentry shook his head vigorously and cursed.
Pick up the binoculars again and look ahead.
In the dark night, I couldn't see through anything at all, I just felt like a black dragon moving quickly. The ground on which the sentry was stepping suddenly shook slightly, and a few withered fallen leaves fell quietly around the sentry.
Through the moonlight in the clouds again, the sentinel's body suddenly shivered, and all sleepiness disappeared without a trace, was that? The sentry rubbed his eyes in disbelief and picked up the binoculars again......
"Woo-woo" two short and one long and mournful warning horns suddenly exploded in the night sky......
The Sentinels finally determined that an enemy force was coming.
Zhang Lang jumped up from the bed for the first time, his eyes shining terrifyingly.
There were enemy troops coming, and it was a cavalry brigade.
At this moment, Zhang Lang suddenly understood Zhou Yu's plan.
His own estimation was seriously wrong, Zhou Yu's goal was not Gao Shun, but directly aimed at himself. Let Sun Ce surround Gao Shun's troops, the purpose is only to mobilize his own army, and the real consent is to capture himself.
Maybe Zhou Yu had been waiting around for a long time, just waiting for him to send reinforcements to support Gao Shun. As soon as the brigade left, even if they didn't leave Xiyang City, they would still sneak attack. Now the difference is only that he actively bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
Zhou Yu put a heavy bet on himself, nothing more than to fight a battle, if he died in battle or was captured by mistake, the Jiangdong army would become a group of dragons without a leader, only waiting to be destroyed. And once he can get out of danger in this battle, then the danger of Gao Shun can not only be solved, but also Puxian and Liyang have become things in the bag, no matter how powerful Lu Su is, no matter how powerful the new Cai Shou general Lu Su is, in the siege on all sides, it will change hands sooner or later. At that time, the three major defensive lines on the periphery of Runan County will be lost, which is equivalent to the opening of the door, and victory will be a matter of time. Fortunately, he sent Guo Jia to accompany Xu Huang on the expedition, and with his eyesight, he could see the key clearly. I hope that when the time comes, I will not rush back to help myself, so that not only will I catch up in time to save myself, but also make Gao Shun very dangerous.
I can't imagine that the key to victory today is whether I can escape victoriously, and whether I can turn from passive to active in this battle.
At this time, the military village woke up from the warning number, and shouted loudly, the sound of assembly, the sound of pace, and the sound of horses whistling, rising and falling with each other.
Zhang Lang clenched the two fists tightly, and the green muscles skyrocketed, but there was no expression on his face.
Yang Rong was already fully armed, quietly snuggling on Zhang Lang's right side.
Someone didn't report it, so they rushed to Zhang Lang's tent.
Dian Wei has always been so impulsive, as soon as he entered the camp tent, he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Report to the lord, there is a large number of enemy cavalry attacking in the southwest, and the lord is leaving quickly." ”
Zhang Lang's eyebrows jumped lightly twice, waved his hand, and Yang Rong rushed out of the camp.
Yan Ming and Han Juzi had gathered all the Black Eagle guards outside the tent, ready to go, obviously knowing the seriousness of tonight's incident.
Tai Shi Ci was carrying a steel gun, full of armor, and was directing the soldiers to quickly ambush the woods on both sides, while shouting: "Hurry up, move faster." Despite this, there was no trace of panic on his face, and when he saw Zhang Lang coming out, he took three or two steps to meet him, and said respectfully: "Lord, please leave with your wife first, and your subordinates and Ziyun and others will break off together." ”
Zhang Lang didn't say much, and said softly: "Take care." ”
Despite this, Tai Shici still saw the loving and caring eyes on Zhang Lang's face.
Zhang Lang, Yang Rong, and Zhao Yu got on their horses and retreated in the direction of Xiyang, while Han Juzi and Yan Ming led five hundred Black Eagle Guards to protect the rear.
Within a few minutes, there was a dull trembling sound from the earth, which hit everyone's hearts hard. The enemy's cavalry had clearly wrapped cotton cloth around their horses' legs, or else they would have arrived in the middle of the night.
The first shock wave of the cavalry has already passed, but it has been brought down by simple defensive tools such as horse ropes, triangular cones, and giant deer. At this time, in the dense hooves in front of him, Tai Shici's angry roar came: "Archer, shoot." ”
A dense stream of arrows flew out of the forest, and the cavalry that had rushed ahead fell into a row.
Before Tai Shi Ci organized the second wave of bows and arrows, the cavalry team had already rushed over like a whirlwind, and some soldiers who reacted slowly were rushed by the cavalry, and the whole person was knocked away, and some were even split in half with a knife.
Tai Shi Ci decisively ordered: "The front row abandons the bow and arrows and prepares for foot combat." Bows and arrows from both sides gave me hard shots. ”
Then the soldiers on both sides fired only a second wave of bows and arrows and had to be forced to switch to close combat.
The enemy's cavalry had already stormed Dazhai and began to assault the defensive line in all directions.
"Kill" Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other generals led the Jiangdong Army, and began to desperately intercept the enemy army in the village.
For a time, the sound of killing in the village shook the sky, and fireworks broke out.
Although the Jiangdong Army had many generals to suppress the formation, the quality of the soldiers was low, and the combat strength was average.
Zhang Lang wanted to kill him back several times, but Yang Rong grabbed him to death, and then he returned sadly and angrily.
Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, and Lian Rong each led a small detachment, blocking the avenue to death, not giving an inch, and fighting to the death. so as to give Zhang Lang more time to get back.
Zhao Yun's eyes were red, and his white robe was stained with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's. At this time, he was dancing with a silver and white spear, struggling to hold the two generals of the other side, while shouting: "Ziyi, take everyone first, it is important to protect the lord." ”
Tai Shi Ci's sideburns were flying, and the steel gun came out of the hole, seeing the gods killing the gods, and killing the Buddha when he met the Buddha. While roaring: "After a certain come, Zilong will go." ”
Zhao Yun stabbed back two enemy generals with one shot, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Ziyi, go quickly." ”
"None of you can leave, not even Zhang Lang can't escape, hehe." At this time, there were several people in the enemy camp, and the first general was still very young because it was dark, and he could not see his face clearly for a while, so he could only judge from his voice that he was still very young. The faint murderous aura emanating from him was obviously the head of the enemy army. There are also a few generals on the side, one holding a big knife in his hand, more than seven feet long, very majestic; The other wielded an iron-spine spear. It's also murderous.
Zhao Yun glanced back, and there were not many soldiers left with him. And Dian Wei and Tai Shici have also leaned on their left and right sides. The two of them were also covered in blood, and they looked like bloody people in the moonlight.
Zhao Yun suddenly pointed his gun to the sky, stared coldly at the front, and said coldly with an irresistible order: "Tai Shici, Dian Wei, I order you to immediately lead the men and horses to leave, if you resist, the military law will deal with it." ”
