Chapter 291: Tiger Gaze
November 7, the sixth year of Guanghe, is also the second day of this winter snow melting.
Handan's army of Lu Zhi also moved south as scheduled.
The vanguard was the 4,000 Hedong soldiers of Dong Zhuo, who were too guarded by Hedong. After they marched for two hours, they met the flying army of the Taishan army at the front of the sentry.
In the Battle of Xingyang, the Flying Army suffered heavy losses because of blocking the Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry.
After the war, although Zhang Chong supplemented Meng Fu with a group of elite Han soldiers and martial arts in the army, the reconnaissance sentry and martial arts were different, and these were all trained.
Therefore, after the war, Meng Fu spent a lot of effort on training new turks, but even so, the reconnaissance and blocking ability of the flying army did not return to the pre-war level.
Meng Fu also knew that the training of the flying army was not easy, so after a short contact with Dong Zhuo's outpost cavalry this time, he broke away from the battle and returned to Liang Qicheng.
Liang Qicheng is fifty miles away from Yecheng and is the latest northern defense town built by the Taishan Army. Compared with the small city of Fujin on the Fushui River, the Liangqi City is stronger, and it is also closer to Handan, which can create a deeper defensive depth.
But Liang Qicheng also has shortcomings, that is, there is no river around it, so the supply of Taishan Army on the side of Yecheng to Liang Qicheng is relatively difficult, and therefore, there are not many defenders in Liang Qicheng, with a total of 1,000 people.
The defender of Liang Qicheng was Wei Xian. When the Taishan Army defeated Yan County in the east of Puyang, he and his brother Wei Chang took 600 villagers to Puyang and defected to the Taishan Army.
After that, the Wei brothers were selected into the cross-collision team, and then followed the military academy, and then released the generals, and then the senior military officer training school, and then the generals were released, which can be described as rapid progress.
In fact, this also reflects a trend in the promotion of Taishan military officials, that is, paying attention to the root and the seedlings. The more you work hard, the more you have *** experience, and even leadership, you will be vigorously cultivated by the Taishan Army.
Since the Battle of Xingyang, the Taishan Army has gradually taken a line of independent development in terms of strategic development. In other words, the Taishan Army cultivates the basic plate of its own values in gravity.
And the Merriam-Webster brothers belong to such a basic plate. The two people in the back led two hundred soldiers, and eight hundred fields were guarded and guarded by the Liang period. One as a trainer stays in the military academy, and each has a bright future.
Shortly after Meng Fu returned to Liang Period City with two hundred flying troops.
Dong Zhuo's department in the north came from a long time, and then directly lined up in a large array of characters under the Liang Dynasty.
Wei Xian and Meng Fu at the head of the city looked down at the head of the city, and on this melting earth, they saw Dong Zhuo's various military flags dancing, erecting "Hu", "Yang", "Niu", "Dong", "Liu", "Hua", "Li", "Guo", "Fan", "Zhang", and "Wang".
The army is mighty, and the generals are gathered.
Wei Xian and Meng Fu didn't know that which of these Xizhou warriors under the city would not be the trendsetter of the times in the future? It can be said that one of the following fierce generals is a tyrant who is a chaotic man.
But individuals are always in tune with the times, such as Guo Yan, Li Dao, etc., can they still be like history, one hostage to the minister, and one to the son of heaven?
No one can say. In short, no matter what, now these people are ordinary people in the eyes of Wei Xian and Meng Fu in the city, just like their main general Dong Zhuo, who is just a slightly more powerful general in the Han family.
When Wei Xian and Meng Fu watched the formation, Dong Zhuojun under the city had already set up the big array.
I saw Dong Zhuo riding on a majestic Liangzhou BMW, galloping all the way in front of the big array, he held a horse whip and pointed for a while, shouted for a while, rode for a while, and raised the flag for this formation.
In this way, Dong Zhuo's fat body rode left and right in front of the battle, and it was the harsh winter of November, and Dong Zhuo and his war horses were still sweating profusely.
After Dong Zhuo rode his war horse back to Daxu, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time hurriedly unloaded Dong Zhuo's armor and wrapped Dong Zhuo in tiger skin.
Dong Zhuo pushed off the big coat, took off the outer single clothes directly, and then wiped the sweat indiscriminately, and then went naked, revealing the muscular and magnificent body.
He said to Li Meng, the general on the side:
"How? Is military gas available?"
Li Menggong worshipped:
"The lord, the gods are mighty, and the last will look at the lord
Bathed in golden light, I only thought that heaven and man were coming."
Dong Zhuo stretched out his thick fleshy palm like a futon and waved it casually, pretending to say:
"Just say these words in private, what is the mood of the generals?"
Li Meng, as Dong Zhuo's general, specially accepted the invitation of the generals, so he said to Dong Zhuo:
"The lord, the lord and the generals are all vying for the first place, especially Fan Sima and Guo Sima are still fighting because of the first to get there."
This is not that Li Meng is giving eye medicine to Fan Chou and Guo Yan, in other places, the private fight between these two people in the Chinese army will inevitably be dealt with by military law, but in Dong Zhuojun, this is a symbol of bravery.
Sure enough, hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed rudely and quipped:
"A horse thief, a mediocre dog, a rebellious person who is a fool of his temper, looking for a fight."
Although he was talking about looking for a fight, Dong Zhuo's face was full of smiles, and he was obviously very satisfied with the spirit of the generals in the army.
After that, Li Meng was about to ask Dong Zhuo when he would attack the city.
saw Dong Zhuo wearing a tiger skin, turned around and walked back, and ordered:
"Order the whole army to camp, bury the pot and cook, and then ask people to tell Lu Zhi in the back that they are blocked in the Liang period, and wait for him to come and do other things."
Li Meng was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had heard it wrong, wasn't he still under Xuanwei City just now, why did he camp again?
He was about to ask puzzled, when he saw Dong Zhuo in front of him stop his steps, his body did not move, and then he turned his neck to look sideways at Li Meng.
Li Meng knelt down at that time and replied loudly:
"Last, obey."
Then Dong Zhuo turned his neck back and said lightly:
"Go ahead."
So, Li Menghan went to give the order in a hurry, and his lord Huwei was too strong, and with just one glance, he almost leaked urine.
Dong Zhuo can be said to be like an arm to his subordinates, so after receiving the military order, the generals will honestly obey the order even if they don't understand. They chose a sloping place five miles outside the city and set camp.
After that, Dong Zhuo's troops finished the camp as in the past, and all the departments sent cavalry teams to go out to collect food and catch Dingkou. Then the lords continued to play with the women in the tent.
Li Huan, the younger brother of Li Dao, volunteered this time and also took a small cavalry team of 20 people to collect food. Because there has never been an accident in the past, Li Huan carelessly didn't bring armor when he came out.
As a result, in a small settlement a few miles away from the camp, Li Huan's twenty horsemen were directly ambushed by the Taishan army.
This Taishan army is a field protector of several nearby settlements.
Since the Taishan army fought over Fushui, it began to divide the fields in the area on the north bank of Fushui. They attacked the nearby village tyrants, distributed all the ripe fields to the wandering poor, and directly pulled out the field guards.
Moreover, the people of Hebei have been known for a long time about the border police, often practice martial arts, and their combat qualities are good. In that year, Yuan Shao refused this, and led 100,000 Hebei Jingjia to cross the river south to fight Cao Cao in a decisive battle, and finally Guandu was defeated, and only 800 of the 100,000 Jingjia were returned.
In this way, Yuan Shao and his sons still relied on Hebei Raofu and Shengbing to maintain under Cao Cao's attack for seven years.
This is the essence of Hebei.
And now the Taishan army is enjoying such a heritage, although these field guards are hungry and weak, but with a knife, they dare to fight, and the courage of the land of Yan Zhao is indeed worthy of its reputation.
Li Huan faced about 200 field guards, and under the command of more than a dozen Taishan army commanders, they surrounded Li Huan and others.
Li Huan fell last, and before he was surrounded, he retreated wildly. Seeing that the main general had run away, the remaining twenty horsemen had no desperate heart, and hurriedly followed Li Huan and retreated.
But in this place where they were surrounded, the bushes were thick and rugged, and when they fled in a hurry, seven or eight horsemen fell directly, and were directly killed by the field guards who caught up.
Seeing that the five Dong Zhuo cavalry could not escape, they simply refused with war horses and formed a circle to prepare to resist. But unfortunately, under the impact of the flood of field guards, even if they killed several people, they were still divided.
Li Huan completely ignored the robe behind him and galloped wildly in the direction of the barracks.
Seven or eight horses behind him, looking at Li Huan's back, and then looking at the chasing soldiers running behind, he gritted his teeth and turned around and rushed towards the violent field guards
Guys.
As soon as Li Huan arrived at the camp, he shouted:
"Avi, Ah Ying, bring your brothers with me."
Li Wei and Li Ying are Li Huan's younger brothers, and when they heard the elder brother's shout, they hurriedly brought people to rush over. They didn't say anything, and directly followed Li Huan out of the wall.
In the Northlands, they are like this. If one person has something, the whole clan will go into battle. It is precisely by virtue of this unity that the villagers of the Northland can resist the surrounding Qianghu.
So they didn't ask anything, anyway, they got it.
When Li Huan rushed to the bush where the field guards had ambushed him before with two hundred elites, he saw that the field guards had already gone to the ground, leaving only eighteen corpses that had been picked up into pigs.
There were also some dead horses, most of which had been cut off and laid bloody on the frozen ground, steaming hot.
Faced with the tragic situation of the robe, Li Huan was furious and yelled at the sky:
"It hurts me."
On that day, Dong Zhuo's squads were more or less ambushed. In the end, he returned to the camp, but this time he found nothing for the food, and he also broke off sixty-four people.
Dong Zhuojun is an arrogant general, how can he swallow this evil spirit, at that time, the soldiers poured out and began to sweep the surrounding settlements.
However, the nearby settlements had already been arranged by the Taishan army to withdraw to the ancient city wall of Zhao Wei in the south. There is the city wall built by the Wei State and the Zhao State during the long-term confrontation.
Due to the wind and rain of nearly 500 years, only a dirt slope remains. But it also became a good hiding place.
Therefore, when Dong Zhuo's generals swept away the soldiers violently, there were only one place where people went to the empty settlement. In the end, they could only burn down these houses and were unwilling to return to the camp.
But that night, Dong Zhuo's camp was attacked by nearby field guards, who threw fire grass at the camp to vent their hatred of the destruction of their homeland.
Many Dong Zhuo soldiers in the camp burned their heads with anger, and they killed out of the camp with their companions.
But the night engulfed them, and these people never returned.
It wasn't until Sergeant Dong Zhuo, who was going to pick wood, cautiously left the camp on the second day, that he saw these robes.
It's just that they don't recognize these people anymore, because they have all had their heads cut off and pulled out into fine pigs.
At this time, these Dong Zhuo sergeants realized that the situation seemed to be a little different.
These weak rabble leaders no longer seem to be the sheep they demand. Obviously, under the organization of the Tarzan thieves, they transformed into hungry wolves.
Because they were familiar with the local conditions, they ambushed the soldiers of Dong Zhuo who came out of the camp from time to time, and they often ambushed the Han army in unexpected ways.
Even some of the sergeants who went out of the camp to fetch water were mercilessly dragged into the deep lake with their arms sticking out of the water.
These Qin Hu from the barren frontier screamed in fright, thinking that they were facing a group of water ghosts.
These situations were all sent to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo, who got up from the group of naked women, thought of a solution to the matter once and for all.
On November 10, Wei Xian, who was patrolling Liang Qitou as usual, suddenly found that Dong Zhuo's army under the city had withdrawn.
Wei Xianzheng was puzzled, and hurriedly called the general of the flying army in the city to be frustrated.
After Meng Fu came, he looked at Dong Zhuojun who was retreating scattered, and said firmly:
"This is a bait-and-roll. Therefore, he is rambling, so that he may lead us out of the city to attack and disturb, and leave him alone."
Wei Xian pondered, in fact, Meng Fu was much older than him in terms of merit, status and seniority. Mengfu is one of the four pillars of the Taishan Army, and he has made outstanding achievements. Moreover, people are frustrated, and it makes a lot of sense. Therefore, if you are reasonable, you should obey it.
But the same words can be heard by different people and at different times, and the effect is different.
Wei Xian pondered for a moment, then reflexively said to Meng in frustration:
"Captain, you're right. But as a defender of the land, I don't send an arrow, and I let the enemy come and go. In the future, the Han army will not underestimate us? Therefore, I plan to send troops to pursue, if I win, it will be good, if I don't, I also ask the captain to lead the flying army to suppress the formation for me."
Hearing this, Meng fell silent.
In theory, he is indeed better than Wei Xian
is heavy, but he has no control over Wei Xian. The reason why Yecheng chose Wei Xian as the defender of the Liang period is naturally the director of this city.
He can indeed overstep his bounds, and with his seniority in the army, it is not difficult to refuse Wei Xian. But this will intensify the relationship between him and Wei Xian, and what is even more embarrassing is that this kind of interference in the decision-making of foreign generals is a taboo for the subordinates.
But, that's the but.
None of the above is to be discussed, he was cultivated by Qu Shuai from Taishan Liao, and he has long regarded the Taishan Army as his home. Therefore, he is responsible for the cause of the Taishan Army.
So, Meng shook his head in frustration and said to Wei Xian lightly:
"Don't go out of this city. Your responsibility is to keep the Liang period, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Wei Xianwan, who has always been smooth, didn't expect Meng Fu to reject him directly, and his face was a little unbearable, but he knew that Meng Fu was a veteran in the army, so he was still explaining:
"The Han army under the city is menacing, but at this time it suddenly retreats, it must be a change in the rear. The art of war, to cause people but not to people, is talking about the situation at this time. Since the enemy wants to retreat, then I will not let him retreat, this is the way to use troops."
But Meng Fu directly waved his hand to interrupt him, he was very disgusted with this batch of people who came out of the military academy, and they knew what the art of war was, and they were completely in the tone of a soldier.
These veterans are all practical combat factions, and all the experience and consciousness of the battle formation are sharpened from life and death, so naturally they can't look down on the big words on paper.
Originally, he was still restrained and polite to Wei Xian, but when he heard this person's words at this moment, he suddenly interrupted rudely. He pointed to the lieutenant general behind Wei Xian, Jin Sheng, and ordered:
"Take Wei Xian down, if I can't say it, I won't come out."
Jin Sheng was an old Taishan soldier, so he naturally listened to the military orders of the old faction, so he sang a song, unloaded Wei Xian's saber, and then asked him to go down to the city.
Wei Xian blushed, muttered old and crazy stupid words, and was dragged down.
In the final analysis, this Taishan army is still their old Taishan people.
After solving Wei Xian, Meng Feng in the city sighed, looked at the retreating Dong Zhuojun, and disdained.
"Stopping this ear will only add to the joke."
