Chapter 188: Attacking Gaotang Prefecture
"My lord, those of my men are not bad, they are carefully selected from thousands of people, why don't you let them enter the dragoons?" Bian Xiang looked at Zhu Long's faintly angry face, so he persuaded him.
In fact, Zhu Long was not angry, but a little helpless. The last time he held an all-army competition in Dongping Mansion, he wanted to integrate those elites into the Guards Army and form a separate elite unit, but he was worried about affecting the combat effectiveness of other main forces, so he gave up this idea.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with Zhu Hu, self-centeredness is normal! He pretended to be angry, just for others to show - don't be like Zhu Hu in the future, you must honestly obey the organization's arrangement, otherwise I will be very angry!
Hearing Bian Xiang say this, he nodded approvingly, "Yes, your subordinates are all good soldiers!" ”
"Now they are all the lord's subordinates, and they are all soldiers of the Zhu family's army!" Bian Xiang hurriedly corrected.
Zeng Tu stood up and said: "Our Zeng family soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, please select and appoint the lord!" ”
When the second Zeng Mi heard this, he hurriedly glanced at his brother and said: "Now it's all Zhu's army, how can there be any Zeng family soldiers, please treat the lord equally, although it is transferred!" ”
Zhu Long showed an approving smile and said, "Okay, Bian Xiang, you go and choose eighty people, and the rest of the people will be incorporated into the cavalry of the Guards, and the rest of the three armies will choose ten people each!" ”
This plan made everyone happy, and soon the heavy cavalry warriors were chosen.
Looking at the one hundred and fifty soldiers in front of him, they had strong men who had surrendered not long ago, and there were fierce soldiers from Zhu's army, all of them were powerful, very strong, and they were all elites with one as ten, Zhu Long saw them, and his chest was full of pride.
He wants to build the dragoons into the strongest army in the world, as strong as the Iron Harrier of Western Xia and the Iron Floating Tu of Dajin, and like the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Xuanjia army in history.
Although there are only one hundred and fifty horsemen now, one day, there will be thousands of horsemen, ten thousand horsemen, sweeping the world.
Gao Lian looked at Zhang Qing who ran back, and was overjoyed to learn that he had captured the two leaders of the Zhu family's army, and praised him again and again.
"What should we do next, Lord Gao?" Zhang Qing asked.
Gao Lian stroked his beard and said incomprehensibly: "We just need to drag the Zhu family army, don't rush to fight with them!" ”
"Haha, Chen Wende is lucky, he has such a good general, but unfortunately I don't!" Gao Lian did not hesitate to appreciate, Wen Wenbao and Yu Zhi listened, they were very ashamed and angry, and they were full of hatred and disgust for Zhang Qing.
Zhu Long led the army back to the front again, only to see that the officers and soldiers had already dug a trench and built a camp, so they blocked the main road and put on a roadblock appearance.
"Lord, let the Sprinkle family go and knock it down, cut off the birdman's head, and rescue the Ou Peng Malin brothers!" Lu Zhishen angrily asked for battle.
"Okay, you and Wu Song will take five hundred infantry to attack the camp, but there are no eyes on the battlefield, you put on armor first! How can this straight suit withstand guns and arrows! ”
Because of the monks, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song have always worn straight shirts and no armor, which made Zhu Long quite worried, and took this opportunity to let them wear iron armor.
After changing into a black heavy armor, the temperament of the two changed greatly, one with a bald head, the other with long hair, plus the two of them were unusually burly and strong, exuding the fierce aura of a savage beast, and their appearance was extremely hideous.
The two of them led 500 elite infantry, holding shields, and slowly approached the official camp, and the archers were preparing fire support behind.
Just approaching the camp, suddenly a rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the fence wall and landed on the head of the Zhu family's army, clanging, like rain.
The shield of the Zhu family was too heavy, only Lu Zhishen and Wu Song could raise it with one hand and put it on their heads to resist the rain of arrows, and the rest of the people could only endure it hard, and people kept falling to the ground with arrows, making a miserable scream.
The archers of the Zhu family army also launched a counterattack and threw the rain of arrows into it, only to hear the dull sound of arrows shooting into the wood inside, obviously the precautions inside were very good.
Some people in the infantry of the Zhujia army were in a hurry, and the three of them worked together to hold up a shield, although it was a little smaller, but it was better than nothing, and the others followed suit, and worked together to hold up the shield, a shield of a hundred catties, two of the big ones lifted, and the three people with little strength held it, and slowly synthesized a piece, like a big umbrella, and slowly moved towards the fence.
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song have rushed to the bottom of the fence wall, both of them are holding a shield in one hand and smashing the fence wall with a weapon in the other, they are both infinitely powerful, but the fence wall is built of thick solid wood, where can it be broken for a while, whether it is a Zen staff or a ring knife, it is not a suitable guy, if only he brought an axe!
The fence began to smash stones, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song had to retreat with their soldiers, and the wounded soldiers were also dragged back to their own positions.
On the battlefield, the probability of being killed by an arrow is very low, and only injuries are usually caused, and the death is often caused by festering wounds and abandonment of the army.
Zhu Long comforted Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, and the injured people had military doctors pull out arrows, wash wounds, and bandage.
Under the conditions of ancient times, there were naturally no full-time military doctors, all of whom were served by some clever and intelligent soldiers after simple training, and there would be additional allowances every month, and they had a very high status in the army, and no one dared to offend these military doctors, because no matter how strong they were, they would not dare to guarantee that they would not be injured.
"Set up camp and attack again tomorrow!" Zhu Long commanded to go down.
Lin Chong walked over and said in a low voice: "Lord, we might as well attack Gaotang Prefecture, so Gao Lian has to rush back." ”
Zhu Long was stunned for a moment, then reacted, stared at Lin Chong for a few seconds, and smiled faintly.
Lin Chong was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he bowed down and bowed: "The subordinates also have a little selfishness, at the beginning, the Chai officials were kind to their subordinates, but now he is in prison in Gaotang Prefecture, and his subordinates want to rescue him by the way!" ”
Zhu Long was silent, the scene quieted down, and everyone understood what was going on, Lin Chong was a little uneasy.
His mood is understandable to everyone, even admired, after all, morality, gratitude and retribution, are admired by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but his behavior of not separating public and private is obviously a taboo, and even suspected of deceiving the leader, as a leader, it is normal for Zhu Long to be angry.
In fact, Zhu Long was not angry, he just felt that Lin Chong was indeed a good person, but his emotional intelligence was not enough, and even a big man like Lu Zhishen was better than him.
His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said earnestly: "Everyone is brothers, your business is my business, if there is any difficulty, just ask me!" Lin Jiaotou knows how to repay his kindness, I admire him very much, Chai Daguan is a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, he has squandered money and helped many heroes, how can I stand by and watch? ”
"Lin Jiaotou, Zhu Hu, you take the two battalions of the Guards and the Xuanwu Army to Gaotang Prefecture. Master Lu still has officer prisoners in his hands, you take two of them, and use them to open the city gate! ”
He thought for a while, and then said: "Old Qin, Brother Bian Xiang, you should also take the dragoons, there are 'Flying Divine Soldiers', and they will not doubt it!" ”
Lin Chong bowed deeply to Zhu Long, he knew that at this time, Zhu Long didn't want to make any extraneous branches, but because of him, he still sent the main force to attack Gaotang Prefecture.
After Lin Chong, Zhu Hu, Qin Ming, Bian Xiang and others left with more than 1,000 cavalry, Zhu Long took Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Shi Wengong Zeng Tu and others to observe around the official army camp and discuss how to break the camp tomorrow.
Suddenly, Zeng Sheng, who was in charge of guarding, came running with a team of men and horses on horseback, and a white-faced bearded descendant was tied to one horse.
"Brother, why are you?" When Wu Song saw this person, he was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped off his horse and hurried over.
