Chapter 169: Hong Tai is recruited
Jia Cong received news from Amin that Hong Tai led 20,000 cavalry to deal with him.
After discussing with a few people, I decided to pack up and go home with the loot.
Seeing the return of the team, Jia Cong thought about it and decided to give Hongtai a big gift.
Let everyone leave first, leaving only the iron pillar, and Qingwen and a few people accompanied him.
He found a wooden board and wrote a few large words on it with blood, 'Hong Tai will die here.' β
The planks were squeezed with stones and erected on the side of the road.
Took out two grenades, pulled out the safety, pressed them with stones, and the part of the impact, leaned against the plank.
Anyone kicks the plank with their foot or cuts the plank with a knife, it triggers and causes an explosion.
If Hong Tai saw it, he would be very angry, and it was estimated that he would be furious, if he dared to take the plank to be angry, his calculation would be completed.
As for the result? When the time comes, it will be up to God to accept him.
As the saying goes: it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things, and everything still depends on the will of God.
After dealing with all this, he quickly left with a few people.
But instead of going far, they hid behind a hill and looked at it with a clairvoyant mirror, wanting to see what they had done.
Qingwen said: "Master Hou, can you make this thing?" What if someone else comes forward? β
Jia Cong smiled: "I don't know if it's okay, it depends on God's will, if God doesn't let him die, you just throw him on him, he won't die, just wait and see." β
Tie Zhu said: "The grenade is pressed by the stone, unless the stone is blown up, it can hurt people, otherwise it is blocked by the stone, it is estimated that it will not hurt people, but it will definitely be scary." β
Jia Cong said: "What about the two grenades, even if they can't break the stones, they can be blown away, it depends on who is unlucky." β
After waiting for two hours, they saw dust flying in the distance, covering the sky and the sun, like a winding yellow dragon, approaching rapidly.
After a while, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a large group of cavalry galloped forward.
Although the front is close, there is no end in sight behind it.
It is said that there are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary, and it really lives up to its name.
Soon the people in front found the wooden board, and when they saw the handwriting on it, they were startled, but they didn't dare to move, and reported it to Hong Tai in the back.
After a while, Hong Tai rode his horse and approached, and saw a large line written on the wooden board, 'Hong Tai will die here.' β
Hong Tai yelled angrily; "Jia Cong'er, deceive people too much, Ben Khan will behead the dog."
Qingwen smiled and said, "Master Hou, he said that he wanted to cut off the dog's head." β
Jia Cong said angrily: "Ye is not deaf, he can hear, if you want to deal with Ye, you have to pass the current level first, it depends on whether he has this life." β
As soon as the words fell, Hong Tai suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed at the wooden board.
Seeing that the wooden board was cracked in half with a knife, Hong Tai snorted angrily: "Hmph, you know that the little one who is playing tricks must not fall into my handsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Before Hong Tai finished speaking, he heard two explosions, "boom" and "boom", coming from below.
The pile of rocks below was directly blown away, and the fragments of the rocks flew everywhere, many of them flew into the crowd, and several screams were heard.
In the nearest part of Hongtai Station, the powerful shock wave and flying debris knocked the war horse and Hongtai out of the air, and Hongtai screamed and fell off the horse.
The sudden change shocked everyone.
Seeing that Hongtai fell off the horse, the people around him were frightened and hurriedly rushed up to the rescue.
"Great Khan, protect Great Khan."
The guards behind instantly ran up and protected Hong Taituan.
Although Jia Cong's eyes widened, he still didn't see clearly, after all, the distance was a bit far.
"Do you see clearly? Was Hongtai blown off his horse, or was the horse startled and thrown down? β
Qingwen said: "It seems that he fell off the horse, I saw that several pieces of fragments were blocked by the war horse, otherwise I would definitely be able to hit." β
Tie Zhu said: "It's too far away, I can't see it clearly, but when I saw Hong Tai's body paused, it should have been hit, just see if Hong Tai can stand up." β
Qiu Ju said: "Master Hou, I saw it, I was hit, it should be in the chest." β
Jia Cong said with a smile: "No matter how Hongtai is now, whether he is injured or not, whether the injury is serious or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that our goal has been achieved, and if we leave, someone will tell us the result." β
Seeing that the crowd below was still surrounding there and did not disperse, Jia Cong decisively got up and left.
Hongtai is still very lucky, riding on a horse, let the war horse block most of the debris attacks for him, even if he is hit one or two times, it will not be fatal.
Unless it hits the head, but the chance is very small, the most likely is to hit the leg, and the side of the body.
A few people went down the hill, mounted their horses, and left quickly.
It wasn't until dark that they arrived at the makeshift camp and caught up with the large army.
He Shiyuan and several generals greeted him, and said with a worried face: "You kid just don't let people worry, just leave together, you have to stay there, let people worry about you, nothing happened, right?" β
Jia Cong smiled: "What can happen, didn't we come back safely, it was to give Hongtai a big gift, see him accept the gift, and we will come back." β
He Shiyuan said suspiciously: "What gift did you kid give to Hong Tai?" Tell us about it, don't get out of your mind. β
Jia Cong was helpless, so he only briefly told them about the process of setting up the trap and the process of Hong Tai's move.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they couldn't imagine that Jia Cong was able to do this step, this thought, this calculation, it was really amazing.
In addition to admiring Jia Cong, he also had a little more jealousy.
Fortunately, it was his own people, and if it was an enemy, he didn't know how he died.
Due to the large amount of loot they had, Jia Cong and the others returned to Guangning smoothly on the third day.
Looking at the people who returned with a full load, the generals who stayed behind, and those who refused the invitation for fear of danger, regretted it again.
It's really envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Envied Jia Cong and those generals who participated, this time they were full of harvest, not only won the battle merits, but also got a large amount of property.
Jealous of their good luck again and again, fame and fortune, while they and others have nothing to gain.
I hate myself for making a mistake in judgment, missing a good opportunity, and rejecting such a big benefit, which makes people regret it.
I also hate Jia Cong, why didn't you force them to go?
In that case, wouldn't you have made a meritorious service? Won't you reap a lot of money?
These people completely forgot that it was they who were afraid of danger and refused the operation.
I also forgot what Jia Cong once said, risks and opportunities coexist.
After a day's rest, the generals gathered in the general army's mansion.
Jia Cong came to the big tent and took a look, oh, all the things that can come and can't come have come, it seems that this huge wealth makes people red.
Seeing Jia Cong coming in, the generals instantly surrounded him, making Jia Cong the most popular person in the field for a while.
"General Jia, you must bring my brother and me this time, my personal soldiers are very elite."
"General Jia, the brothers are almost out of food, this time you have to bring us no matter what, don't worry, we will definitely obey your arrangement and will not cause you trouble."
"Yes, General Jia's ability, we are completely convinced, and if there is any action in the future, you must bring us."
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Jia Cong smiled helplessly and said: "Thank you for the trust of the generals, and thank you for the generals who look up to me, everyone is willing to act with me, I naturally can't ask for it."
However, this operation is all the credit of the commander-in-chief's command and dispatch, and I also obey orders, so if you beg me, it is better to ask the commander-in-chief, who is the master of an army. β
When everyone heard this, they suddenly remembered that they forgot that the chief soldier was still watching from above, and it was estimated that they must be uncomfortable.
He Shiyuan didn't care about this when he saw this, the relationship between Jia Cong and himself was there, and if it was someone else, it would definitely not work.
"Okay, don't make any noise, this time we entered the enemy's rear, it can be said that the enemy was not at peace, and the 5,000 troops sent back on the battlefield were also wiped out by us.
In the end, Hong Tai personally led an army of 20,000 and returned to the rear to exterminate us, and the task of attacking and harassing us this time can be said to have been completed perfectly, effectively alleviating the war in Shenyang and achieving the expected goal. β
When some generals heard this, they were a little breathless, and asked, "General, when will we go for the next operation?" β
He Shiyuan said: "Now in the rear of the enemy, there are 20,000 cavalry searching for us, do you dare to go now?" If you go now, you will be sent to death, and you can't go for the time being. β
"General, when will the next operation be? How long will we have to wait? β
That is, these people are He Shiyuan's old subordinates, so they don't pay much attention to the rules, and they have been forked out early if someone else is replaced.
He Shiyuan said: "Jia Cong, you tell them, and analyze the situation between the enemy and us, so that they can also understand." β
Jia Cong arched his hand and said, "Yes, General." β
"Generals, this raid has ended, and we have achieved our expected goal, successfully containing 25,000 enemy troops, and alleviating the battle in Shenyang.
As the saying goes, again, again, again, after the last operation, the rear of the barbarians can no longer be as defenseless as before, and let us plunder, if we go again, it will be tantamount to a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
In addition, the barbarian Khan Hongtai fell into our trap, and now life and death are unknown, and our strategic goal of harassing the enemy's rear has been successfully completed. β
The generals were a little dumbfounded, and they wanted to follow them to make some money, but they didn't expect that people would not go, and this matter would make trouble.
"General Jia, you also said, one more, two more, no more three, didn't you just go once? You should be fine if you go again, right? β
There are still people who don't give up and can't help but ask.
It seems that the charm of this money is really great, so big that they forget the danger.
Jia Cong said: "Generals, you need to understand one thing, we are going to carry out the mission, not to send us to death, if we go again when the enemy is prepared, it is very likely that the boat will capsize in the gutter and never come back."
Besides, this is the second time, as early as during the war between the barbarians and the Mongols, seeing that the Mongols were losing and retreating, I took people to the rear of the barbarians, and attacked once, and I could not go there again for the time being.
But don't be disappointed, the war is not over yet, and there may be other fighters in the future, but again, risks and opportunities coexist.
I don't want to take risks, just want benefits, it's really difficult, just like this time, if you see the benefits and go again, it's too late, the opportunity is no longer there, and if you go again, you may be sent to death. β
Seeing that there was no benefit to be gained, all the generals left with a disappointed face.
He Shiyuan wrote two copies of the war report, one of which was sent to Shenyang and handed over to Wang Ziteng, and the other was sent to the capital with an expedited 600 li.
After arranging everything properly, He Shiyuan smiled and said: "During this period of time, I have been in the rear of the enemy, and I have been living in fear, and now that I have come back, I can rest comfortably for a while."
Don't leave at noon today, let's get together and relax. β
"Everything is up to the general."
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Wang Ziteng, who was supervising the battle in Shenyang, finally breathed a sigh of relief during this time.
The enemy's offensive has slowed down much more than before, and has recently stopped the offensive.
"Marshal, the enemy on the opposite side has not moved in the past few days, is there some conspiracy? What are we going to do? β
As for the movements of the barbarians, Wang Ziteng has been paying attention.
As for the recent situation, I have some guesses in my heart, but I am not sure.
According to the calculation of time, Jia Cong has already been in the rear of the enemy, and the current situation may be that Jia Cong has paid the enemy's attention. attracted to the rear, only to halt the fighting ahead.
It seems that Jia Cong, this kid, is not tossing lightly in the rear, otherwise it would be impossible to stop fighting in the front.
"Let's wait and see what happens, it may be that our attack plan has been successful."
"What does the marshal mean is that General Xiao Jia tossed too much in the rear of the enemy and attracted the enemy's attention to the rear?"
Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "It should be, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the other party stopped attacking the city." β
"Marshal Qiyu, the general army of Guangning sent a battle report."
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier walked in.
Wang Ziteng smiled: "This says that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, isn't it, you will know it at a glance, and you can present it quickly." β
The herald hurriedly handed over the battle report, and Wang Ziteng took it, looked at the seal carefully, and then opened it and looked at it seriously.
In the battle report, the course of this attack, the elimination of 5,000 returning enemy troops, and the use of traps to blow up Hong Tai, the unknown life and death, were all reported in detail.
Wang Ziteng laughed excitedly after seeing it: "Okay, it's really good, it turned out that Hong Tai personally took people to the rear, and he was calculated, I don't know if I live or die, God really helps me." β
After passing the battle report to his subordinates, the generals couldn't help but sigh.
This raid and harassment battle is really in place, so beautiful, Jia Cong, this kid is really a talent, they all retreated, and left a trap, making Hong Tai's life and death unknown.
