“”

The adjutant general was slightly stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses and ordered several guards to lift him up again and send him to the yamen.

A moment later.

Lang Zhong hurried over, diagnosed and treated for half an hour, and after prescribing the medicine, he said slowly:

"Master Hou's injury is not serious, take the medicinal soup on time every day, and rest for three months."

When the adjutant general heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Your Majesty sent the Hou Ye here to fight!

Recuperate for three months, and have a fart fight!

Others died before leaving the school, but the Hou Ye was good, and he fell under the horse's hooves before he left the school.

"Well, that's fine."

In front of the sickbed, several lieutenants looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"So far, I can only stick to the city first, and wait for the Hou Ye to recover a little."

"That's all there is to it."

After a few moments of deliberation, the lieutenants decided to maintain the status quo.

Thereupon.

The next few days.

The cadres appeared outside Jing'an City on time, taking turns to fight, scolding from morning to night, with almost no rest.

The soldiers defending the city gritted their teeth angrily, and asked for battle three times and twice, but they were rejected one by one.

Just because the general gave an order, no one is allowed to leave the city without authorization, let alone meet the enemy without authorization!

"Didn't Your Majesty send Master Hou here to take us to war! Why do you still hold on to the city! ”

"The dry man has already ridden on our heads to and pee, and the Hou Ye is still indifferent! Wretch! ”

"Lao Tzu would rather go out of the city and fight with them than stay here and suffer from this nest!"

Endless invective.

The defenders were sulking and had nowhere to vent.

Whether it is a thousand-commander, a centurion, or an ordinary soldier, looking at the cadres outside the city, there is only one thought left - to go out of the city and fight with the cadres!

Under the excitement of the crowd.

Dozens of commanders gathered together and went to the Yamen of Jing'an Mansion to ask Ying to fight.

And in the yamen.

Zhao Ping didn't know anything about it.

At this time, he was lying on the sickbed, looking at the art of war in his hand, studying how to meet the enemy.

"Although the Qianren have the advantage in weapons, their strength is far weaker than that of my Great Zhou, and Jiannan Road is a plain, as long as they resist the first wave of attacks and let the archers get close to the enemy, they can be easily defeated!"

"The question is how to resist the first wave of attacks"

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

If the Tiger Army is there, a single charge can crush the enemy's formation.

After that, things are much simpler, nothing more than to take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the enemy's living forces.

But.

The Tiger Ben Army has to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the Beijing Division, and if it is not at a critical juncture, His Majesty will not be able to let them go.

Without heavy cavalry, relying only on 10,000 light cavalry, it was difficult to break up the enemy's formation.

In the face of powerful artillery, let the light cavalry be the vanguard, and it is very likely that the meat buns will beat the dogs and never go back.

I thought about it for a long time.

Zhao Ping still decided to let the infantry be the vanguard.

Thicken the shield so that it can withstand the attack of the musket at a certain distance.

Brave men were selected from an army of 200,000, severely wounded, with shields in hand, and put them in front.

If nothing else, it should be able to block the first wave of attacks from the dry people.

There may be some costs, but it's nothing compared to the final victory.

That's it.

Zhao Ping looked at the guards on the side and ordered, "Please come here to discuss matters." ”

"Yes! Master Hou! ”

The guard saluted and turned to leave.

A moment later.

Several lieutenant generals and more than a dozen partial generals came to the yamen and saw Zhao Ping, who was lying on the sickbed and still holding a military book, and their faces were moved.

"Master Hou is so seriously injured, and he doesn't forget to study the military book and convene us and other discussions, which is really admirable!"

Zhao Ping looked at everyone with a breezy appearance, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Superfluous nonsense, General Ben doesn't want to say more, just one sentence, Your Majesty appointed General Ben as the chief general of the army, and there is only one purpose, to drive the damned cadres out of Da Zhou in the shortest possible time!" ”

Speaking of which, after a pause, he continued:

"In the past few days, General Ben has been sick in bed, and he has been analyzing the white musketeers and the firearms they use!"

"In the general's opinion, firearms can only exert their power at a certain distance, and hand-to-hand combat is no different from a burning stick!"

"And the army of Bai Qi is almost entirely composed of musketeers, so as long as you can resist the first wave of attacks and rush to the enemy, you can easily achieve victory!"

When several generals heard this, their expressions became a little strange, and they looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.

They are tempted to say that everyone understands this truth, and the key lies in how to rush to the enemy's front.

Zhao Ping saw everyone's expressions and knew what they were thinking, his expression was as serious as ever, and he said his plan.

"Our army lacks war horses, and with only a small number of cavalry, it is impossible to break up the enemy's formation, so this general thinks about it, and still has to reuse infantry!"

The voice fell.

Everyone showed hesitation, and said in their hearts: Our subordinates are not the Tiger Army, but the soldiers of the guard!

These guys, in the face of enemy guns, will not last long before they will collapse.

It is better to expect them to rush to the front of the cadres than to expect them to withdraw their troops.

Zhao Ping is not a man who talks on paper.

He once led a large army and captured Yongzhou in only one month.

He knew better than anyone else about the situation of the guards, and knew that they were not of great use, and that if they encountered some fierce battles, they would be so frightened that they would lose their armor and collapse their army.

However, under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!

As long as you give enough silver, you can make people willingly act as a meat shield and stand in front.

If the people in front do not break and flee, the army will not break up easily.

200,000 people, how can you pick out 20,000 or 30,000 warriors, as long as you can get close to the formation of the dry people, the one who flees is the dry people!

"General Ben has decided to select brave warriors from the army to form a breaking camp, and they will act as the vanguard and take the lead!"

"Every warrior who breaks the camp will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver! If it is sacrificed, in addition to the original pension of the imperial court, an additional hundred taels of silver will be added! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Everyone immediately understood Zhao Ping's plan, and a fine light burst out in their eyes.

Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is not a small attraction to the guards.

As long as the silver can be in place, I believe that many brave people can be gathered.

"Not long after Hou Ye came to Jing'an Mansion, he was able to think of a way to break the enemy, which shows that he had made up his mind to fight with the cadres before that."

That's it.

The expressions of everyone looking at Zhao Ping changed a little, and they all spoke up and gave their own suggestions.

"The general thinks that the silver of the reward and the difficulty of the selection can be increased, and clearly tell the soldiers who sign up that if they join the broken camp, they must risk the threat of guns and cannons and be at the forefront, in short, they would rather lack the mother, so as to achieve the desired effect."

In the past two months, Bai Qi has realized that with only his tens of thousands of people, there is no possibility of capturing Jing'an City, so before the decisive battle, he has to find a way to lure Bai Qi to attack.

The general felt that he could move a part of the army outside the city in advance, creating a false impression of withdrawing troops."

In front of Zhao Ping's sickbed.

The adjutant generals were talking.

Right now.

There was a rush of footsteps outside.

A personal guard walked into the room with a strange expression, and said, "General, a group of people have come outside to ask Ying to fight." ”

When Zhao Ping heard this, he was slightly stunned, and looked at several lieutenant generals with questions in his eyes.

An adjutant general who has been busy with what has happened in the past few days has told it as it is.

Zhao Ping's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "It's just a few hundred people, why don't you go out of the city to meet the attack?" ”

The adjutant general explained: "There is a precedent, on the surface there are only a few hundred people, but in fact there are thousands of people in ambush a few miles away, and if you are rash and attack, you may fall into the trap if you are not careful." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ping fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked around, with a surging smile on his face, and said, "That's a good thing. ”

“”

Everyone was slightly stunned, not understanding how it became a good thing to be blocked and scolded by others.

Zhao Ping said: "It's just a few days of scolding, so that my 200,000 troops are the same enemy, and let dozens of commanders take the initiative to ask for help, isn't this a good thing?" ”

There seems to be some truth to this.

Several lieutenants glanced at each other and echoed in unison.

Zhao Ping looked at the guards and ordered: "Tell them that there is a chance to give them a war, go back and wait for the order of the general!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

The guard saluted and turned to leave.

Zhao Ping looked at the deputy general and said, "Bai Qi only has 50,000 people under his command, even if he sets up an ambush, how many people can there be?" Don't be afraid because you have suffered a few losses! The 200,000 army let hundreds of people block the door and scold, isn't it a joke to spread the word that my Great Zhou Wang Shi? ”

After a pause, he continued:

"Pass on the order of the general, send three thousand light cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy!"

Several lieutenants glanced at each other, hesitated, and saluted in unison.

"The last general obeys!"

Two hours later, three thousand horsemen, dressed in light armor and armed with a lance, rushed out of the city gates.

It's just that.

The men who shouted and cursed at the city gate moved faster.

Without saying a word, he turned over and got on his horse, and ran away.

The soldiers on the city wall, although they couldn't see the final result, just watched their brothers chasing the dry people's farts and urine, and their hearts were excited, even happier than the New Year.

Thousands of people cheered and soared into the sky.

"A bunch of dogs, barking so fiercely, it's not like they're running away with their tails between their legs!"

"Next time you dare to come, I'll have to smash your brains!"

The other side.

In the camp of Jiannan Province.

The general stood in front of Bai Qi and arched his hand: "General, the enemy army is out of the city!" ”

Bai Qi asked, "How many people?" ”

The general replied, "There are only three thousand light horsemen." ”

Bai Qi said: "Send more people to scold tomorrow." ”

The general saluted: "Yes, General!" ”

Bai Qi was silent for a while, and said: "Inform the battalions, and the camp will be set up in three days!" ”

"Yes!"

With excitement on his face, the general bowed, and turned to leave.

After he left.

There was only one Bai Qi left in the tent, and he stood straight in place, looking at the map on the eucalyptus, a sharp light burst out in his eyes, and he stretched out his finger and pointed it somewhere on the map.

"Zhao Ping, you and I will fight it out here!"

Five days later.

Jing'an City.

The first batch of soldiers to break the camp has been selected, totaling more than 30,000 people.

Not surprisingly, after a short training, a batch will be eliminated.

There are not many people, but each of them is determined to die, and they can play a huge role in front of the formation.

Zhao Ping, who has recovered a little, can now walk in the city with the support of his personal guards.

This kind of critical moment.

As the main general, even if he is seriously injured, he must appear in front of the soldiers, otherwise it is inevitable that some people will think about it.

The new Lord will be a bastard, let them be in front and hide in the back.

Rounding around several city gates greatly boosted morale.

The soldiers guarding the city saw that Zhao Ping was injured like this, and he still came here, and their faces showed a look of emotion.

"What other gates haven't you visited?"

Zhao Ping, who was weak, looked at the guards beside him and asked.

The guard opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he saw a white horse galloping not far away.

When Zhao Ping saw the white horse, there was a hint of panic in the depths of his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Fortunately, with the support of the guards, he did not fall.

The white steed stopped in front of Zhao Ping.

A partial general turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "General! A large number of enemy troops have appeared at the South City Gate! ”

Zhao Ping was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't you have it a few days ago?" ”

The general said: "This time there are more people, and the final general has a preliminary estimate that there are at least twenty or thirty thousand people!" ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand?"

Hearing this news, Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Are you sure?" ”

A few thousand people, it can be regarded as a provocation, send some people to drive them away, or simply ignore them, and that's pretty much it.

But twenty or thirty thousand people are different.

After all, there are only 50,000 people under Bai Qi's command, and if he can annihilate these 20,000 or 30,000 people here, Bai Qi's troops will be reduced by half, and there will be a threat of fart!

The general looked at Zhao Ping and said with a firm face: "You can be sure of your humble position!" At least 20,000 people! ”

Got a positive reply.

Zhao Ping's eyes burst out with a fine light, and he said loudly: "Go!" Go to the South City Gate! ”

Several guards looked embarrassed: "Master Hou, your injury." ”

"Injuries are fart!"

Zhao Ping's face was righteous and Ling Ran said.

Several of the guards were all moved.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhao Ping say again: "You are carrying this Hou Ye!" ”

Guard: ""

Half an hour later.

Zhao Ping was carried up the city wall by the guards and looked at the dense cadres not far away.

He was finally convinced that Bai Qi had really sent twenty or thirty thousand people to attack the city.

"I thought that this Bai Qi had a lot of ability, but it turned out that he was just a drunken and rice bag disciple!"

"There are only 50,000 people in total, and he actually sent 20,000 people to surround the city of 200,000 people, and his soldiers are all three-headed and six-armed immortals!"

"Or think that General Ben is the same as Shan Xin's waste, sitting on an army of 200,000, and still sticking to the city, closing the door, and letting you provoke!"

That's it.

Zhao Ping could no longer restrain the excitement in his heart, looked at the partial general, and ordered: "Inform the generals, assemble all battalions, and prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

The general's eyes also showed excitement, and he bowed.

After being aggrieved for so long, I can finally have a chance to vent.

"Get the catapult ready to cover the broken camp!"

Zhao Ping looked at the adjutant general and gave an order.

The deputy general showed hesitation on his face and said: "The last general has been guarding Jing'an City for two months, and Bai Qi has never besieged the city with 20,000 people, will there be fraud behind it this time?" ”

When Zhao Ping heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "You mean, there is an ambush behind them?" ”

The lieutenant fell silent and did not answer.

Seeing this, Zhao Ping snorted coldly and said, "There are only 50,000 people under Bai Qi's men, and more than 20,000 people are here, what else can there be in ambush?" ”

The lieutenant opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Zhao Ping glanced at him and said coldly:

"Besides, what if there is fraud? There are 200,000 people in Jing'an City, and he only has 50,000 people! ”

"50,000 people surround a city of 200,000 people, and the defending side has not attacked, this kind of scene has never been seen in the past!"

When the adjutant general heard this, he was speechless.

Zhao Ping continued:

"Although General Ben has never seen artillery, he also knows that the artillery attack has a certain distance, and the loading also needs a certain interval, and with the cover of catapults, 200,000 people can rush to the front even if they are filled with human lives!"

The adjutant general was silent for a few breaths, and wanted to persuade again, so he said:

"Master Hou, after all, the broken camp has just been formed, and it has not yet been trained"

"Do you have to practice for another two months before you can get out of the city!"

Zhao Ping's expression was gloomy and his voice was cold.

When the adjutant heard this, he fell silent.

Zhao Ping snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:

"General Ben has decided to go out of the city to meet the enemy and fight Bai Qi for a showdown!"

"Don't say anything superfluous! Let's go down and prepare! ”

That's it.

It is useless to say more.

The adjutant general sighed in his heart and arched his hand:

"Yes! Master Hou! ”
