242 Don't you think it's ridiculous?
The dignified general has such a obedient side, and the adjutant general felt that his eyes were opened, and he thought about it for a moment, but he also suddenly realized that if he also had a daughter who was so capable of fighting and so capable, he would definitely be the same.
He is willing to serve tea and pour water for his daughter every day, and his daughter tells him to go east, he will never go west, and he will be more obedient than the general.
Very good, I'm ready to be obedient, and I'm just short of a capable daughter.
This relaxed thought was only for a moment, listening to the frequent shouts of "the general has arrived" from the opposite side, the adjutant general looked over steadily, and also clenched the weapon in his hand.
The armies of both sides slowly retreated, splitting in two, with a clear line in between.
Soon, the opposing army retreated to the left and right, making way out of the way.
The sound of horses' hooves on the opposite side was approaching, and a group of men and horses galloped forward to open the way, and soon, a figure on a black horse appeared in everyone's sight.
"General!"
"It's really a general!"
In the Xu army, the adjutant general and the captain shouted, "The general is here!"
The atmosphere changed suddenly, and the military spirit, which had already collapsed, was forced to reunite with the arrival of Xu Zhengye.
Xu Zhengye drove his horse to the front of the army.
Chang Suining looked.
I saw that the person who came was wearing armor, and the scarlet cloak was tied to the armor, which was very bright, just like his self-proclaimed position of "Kuang Fu General".
He is over forty years old, with a neat short beard, a slightly long face and a well-contoured contour, a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes embedded in the eye sockets, and there is still a bit of the graceful posture of the family, and he raises the knife and the horse, but does not give people a sense of barbarism.
All in all, he looks like he is very reasonable and well-versed in righteousness, and he doesn't look like a thief at all.
Chang Suining felt that everyone was willing to believe his Kuang Fu Li family's words, except for those who were willing to be "deceived", the rest of those who were really deceived could not be blamed for being too easy to deceive.
While she, Chang Kuo and the others were looking at Xu Zhengye, Xu Zhengye was looking at them.
The first thing Xu Zhengye saw was Ge Zong's head being raised high.
His eyes changed slightly.
He came at this time because he heard a news and was worried that the situation in Hezhou would change, so he came to take charge in person...... But he never imagined that he would see what he saw.
He never thought that this battle would be so embarrassing and ugly.
100,000 people fought less than 20,000 people, and no one could easily imagine that the tide of the war would turn around here.
If he comes any longer, all his soldiers and horses will become surrendered soldiers!
Xu Zhengye looked at the soldiers behind Chang Kuo who were treating him with hatred in their eyes, and asked the deputy general beside him in a cold voice, "Where is Ji Xi?"
The adjutant general's head lowered: "General Hui, General Ji...... Dead too!"
Xu Zhengye asked in a calm voice, "Who killed it?"
Compared with Ge Zong, the sober-minded Ji Xi is more valued by him, and even Ji Xi was folded in this battle even if he killed a Ge Zong!
"Yes......" The lieutenant general was about to answer when he heard a young man's voice sound from the other side.
"It's me." Yun Hui, who was supported by Peng Senjun, had just woken up from his coma, and he stepped forward and looked at Xu Zhengye, his pale lips made a voice with hatred: "Yun Hui, the son of Hezhou Thorn History."
The death of his father and brother is all due to this person, and it all stems from this person's ulterior ambitions.
Xu Zhengye looked at him for a moment, seemed to write him down, and then asked, "Who killed Ge Zong?"
He at least wanted to know who his two generals died from.
"This one." Chang Sui Ning turned his head to look at Ge Zong's head, and said in a casual tone: "I killed it."
Xu Zhengye's eyes moved slightly, is he a young man again?
He looked at Chang Suining with scrutiny in his eyes: "Who are you?"
Chang Sui Ning held the reins and smiled slightly: "Hussar General's Mansion, Chang Sui Ning."
"Chang Sui Ning ......" Xu Zhengye looked at her, and then looked at Chang inquiringly
Wide.
Chang Kuo's mood was up and down, and his palms were a little sweaty.
Vice Admiral Jin beside him was anxious, why didn't such a powerful daughter General still claim it, so he simply said loudly for the general: "This is our daughter of General Chang!" Chang family girl!"
Chang Kuo didn't dare to move.
Until Chang Sui Ning turned his head to look at him: "Daddy?"
Chang Kuo was a spirit: "...... That's right, my daughter killed her!"
Vice Admiral Jin was satisfied at this time - look at the general's pride and excitement, his voice trembled!
"It's a girl...... Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog girl." Xu Zhengye laughed meaninglessly, but he was still skeptical of the girl's claim that she had killed Ge Zongzhi.
After all, it's incredible.
But this is not the time to delve into how a little girl killed Ge Zong.
He looked at Chang Kuo: "In today's battle, our army lost two generals...... General Chang really used his soldiers like a god, which really surprised Xu and admired him."
"At this point in the battle, both armies are tired, but this victory is still undecided and not over." He raised his hand slightly and said to Chang Kuo: "Worried about the officers and soldiers of the two armies, I wonder if General Chang is willing to gamble with Xu?"
Chang Kuo was noncommittal: "Let's talk about it first, let's hear if this bet is human."
Those who want to achieve great things can't be too thin-skinned, Xu Zhengye didn't mind the scolding in his words, and said: "I still remember that when General Chang followed His Royal Highness the former prince to fight and make meritorious contributions, Xu was still doing things in Beijing, and he didn't know sorrow all day long...... I'm ashamed."
"Therefore, when it comes to leading troops to fight, in front of General Chang, Xu is just a junior junior. Today, I, a little junior, want to have the courage to fight alone with General Chang Da—"
"If General Chang wins, I will withdraw from my troops. If Xu is lucky enough to win this game, please give way to Xu and allow Xu to enter Hezhou."
Chang Kuo looked at him: "Our army has already won a big victory, why should I agree to this bet?"
"Xu just said that this victory is undecided." Xu Zhengye looked back slightly and looked behind him: "Xu is not talented, and he came with another 50,000 troops."
Vice General Jin's face changed, and Yun Hui, who was supported by Peng Senjun, also straightened the corners of his pale mouth.
"If Xu forcibly takes Hezhou, it is expected that it is not impossible." Xu Zhengye said: "It's just that today's casualties are too great, and Xu doesn't want to have blood again, so he has this proposal——"
It is a state of righteousness and benevolence.
And said, "I think General Chang also has the same heart as Xu...... Although Xu thinks that he is not as good as General Chang, this proposal may be arrogant, but Xu, as a junior, is willing to gamble and show respect."
"I don't know what General Chang thinks?"
In other words, if you don't agree, you can only order a storm.
"General Changda...... I can't promise him!" Yun looked back and said to Chang Kuo: "This person sounds benevolent, but in fact he is just a real boy and a hypocrite, and the general must not be fooled!"
The other party humbly said to his juniors, deliberately showing weakness, and claiming to be "not as good as the usual general", but if he is not completely sure, why should he give up the road of siege to victory and take the risk of betting?
What is "talking about respect", it is clear that he wants to take Hezhou City at the lowest cost!
Although General Chang had not participated in the battle before, he had commanded the overall situation on the top of the city tower for a moment, and he was afraid that he could not even drink saliva all day, and he was injured...... And this Xu Zhengye is in the prime of life, and he is accumulating strength, which is clearly sure of winning.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, the other party has a strong army behind him at this time, even if he really loses to General Chang, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find another excuse and go back on his word......
These are objective, and out of selfishness, Yunhui really doesn't want Chang Kuo to take such risks for Hezhou City again, and even gamble with his own life.
General Chang Da doesn't owe anything to Hezhou City, but they and Hezhou have already inherited too much kindness from General Chang Da and the Chang family girl!
Yun Hui wanted to persuade again, but when he saw Chang Kuo raise his hand, he interrupted him.
Just when Yun Hui decided that General Chang was going to make this bet for the sake of the state soldiers-
"Ning...... Ning Ning, what do you think?" Chang Kuo turned his head and asked in a low voice, not so much as an inquiry
Asked, the demeanor is more like asking for instructions.
Yun Hui: "?"
"I think that's a good idea." Chang Suining looked at Xu Zhengye: "But there is still one thing that needs to be added."
Xu Zhengye looked at her: "How to add? The girl of the Chang family might as well come and listen to it."
"It's okay to go it alone." Chang Sui Ning raised his hand to Vice General Jin, then himself, then Chang Kuo, and then turned back to Chang Kuo, and nodded more than ten people before stopping: "You are alone, single-handedly pick up thirteen of us."
Xu Zhengye: "......"
Vice Admiral Jin and the others who were ordered were also strangely silent.
The ideas conveyed by this "heads-up" approach seem to be too advanced and not easily accepted by people, mainly because of ...... Not very easy to be accepted by opponents.
Xu Zhengye really didn't want to say more to this girl who was full of nonsense, but Chang Kuo just let her talk nonsense, and he didn't stop it at all, but instead obeyed his words, like an old wolf dog wagging his tail and echoing it, without any ideas of his own.
Xu Zhengye could only sneer: "Girl, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Ridiculous?" Chang Sui Ning seemed to reflect for a moment, and said, "Compared to General Xu, who is in the prime of life, after eating and drinking, he came to me to lead the battle all day long and was almost exhausted, it seems to be okay."
"In this case, it is reasonable for me to propose that General Xu alone take out the thirteen of us who are all exhausted, right?"
Xu Zhengye's complexion began to rise and fall, and a sarcastic sneer appeared in his eyes.
Some of the facts are one thing, but if they are revealed, they are too incomprehensible.
After all, it is clear who is the party holding the initiative at the moment.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that the girl of the Chang family has made up her mind to use the lives of the soldiers behind her to take advantage of her tongue, and she insists on acting rashly."
"Not necessarily." Chang Suining looked at him with a slight smile: "General Xu has this cheeky proposal, and wants to fight a quick battle with my father, in addition to not wanting to consume any more troops, I'm afraid that the strategy of continuing to storm Hezhou is not as strategic as it seems on the surface, right?"
Yun Hui and Vice General Jin and others did not understand.
Xu Zhengye's eyes changed silently.
Did she deliberately say big things, or did she ...... What do you know? What did you prepare in advance?
Seeing that he was hesitant, Chang Suining knew that he had guessed correctly, so he made up his mind.
During the war, the city gates were closed, and the state was in a difficult situation, and it was impossible to deliver news in time...... But Xu Zhengye is different, he controls the main roads of the surrounding cities, and the news must be well-informed.
Chang Suining and Chang Kuo exchanged glances.
Xu Zhengye weighed for a moment, looked at the Hezhou City Gate that was close at a moment's notice, and his heart was surging.
He has spent too much time and lost too many troops for Hezhou...... Now that this city is in his hands, if he withdraws today, lets the tiger return to the mountain, and allows them to recuperate and regroup their defenses, it will only be more difficult to storm it again in the future.
And the state, he has to take it!
As for that change, it may not be for Hezhou......
The adjutant general on the side couldn't hold back his desire to take revenge, and glanced at the direction of the Hezhou army with vicious eyes, and then clenched his fists and asked: "Please show the general!"
Vice General Jin and the others were like tight bowstrings, staring at Xu Zhengye tightly.
The torches were flickering by snowflakes, Xu Zhengye was concentrating for a moment, and said in a fixed voice: "All the soldiers will attack the city with me, and the place where you will stay today is only Hezhou City!"
He can't just let the slightest wind and grass stop and miss the opportunity!
As Xu Zhengye's flag was waved, the army began to form a team, and it was about to rush forward.
Xu Zhengye's name represents prestige and morale, he came with 50,000 soldiers and personally led the troops, and at this time he regarded Hezhou City as a bag.
Most of the Hezhou soldiers behind Chang Kuo were exhausted or wounded, and no matter how high their fighting spirit was, they couldn't support their ruined bodies.
"Wait!" At the last moment, Chang Kuo suddenly raised his hand.
Xu Zhengye looked at him.
Swing widely
Out of the slash: "Come, I'll fight you first!"
Xu Zhengye sneered, "It's late!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and the army began to surge.
"Who's saying it's late?" As Chang Suining spoke, he took out an object, lit the fuse on the torch held by the soldier beside him, and then threw it into the air.
It rose into the night sky, making a loud sound and bursting into a golden firework.
The eyes of the crowd subconsciously followed.
The fireworks were fleeting, and only the smell and residue of gunpowder fell with the snowflakes from above.
But soon, the same movement was heard again.
One, two, three......
But it was no longer from the hand of the maiden.
Everyone raised their eyes and saw the same golden fireworks blooming one after another in the night in the southwest.
One, two, three......
- Is that?
- Who's responding?!
The crowd was amazed.
In that direction......
Xu Zhengye's expression was also tight, and he immediately raised his hand to signal the army to stop, and looked at the girl again.
Chang Suining also looked at him: "It doesn't seem to be too late, just right."
Since Xu Zhengye heard the news and moved, it was decided that the movement was not far away, so it was destined not to be too late.
Yun Hui raised his hand to pull her armor with some difficulty, and Zhengse asked in a low voice, "Chang Niangzi, is that ......?"
Chang Sui Ning lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Reinforcements."
Reinforcements?!
Yun Hui's eyes widened in disbelief, where did the reinforcements come from, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are now controlled by Li Yi, how can they support Hezhou?
Of course, it will not be reinforcements from the imperial court.
All of this starts with the letter that Chang Sui Ning sent out before he came to Hezhou.
"Reinforcements!"
"Our reinforcements have arrived!"
The news began to be loudly conveyed in the Hezhou army, and the soldiers raised their arms and cheered.
Yun Hui was very bottomless in his heart.
According to what he knew about Chang Suining during this time...... The other party's reinforcements are likely to be made up to bluff people!
As for the fireworks that responded to her, it may not be that she arranged for someone to hide somewhere in advance, deliberately making a show for the Xu army......
If it was before, when the opposing army was unstable, they might really be able to scare back, but with Xu Zhengye in charge at this moment, how could they retreat easily?
Yun Hui's heart hung high, trying to see some clues from Chang Suining's face, but her face did not change, calm and calm.
He immediately thought that when he first saw her that day, when she claimed to have 100,000 reinforcements, she was also arrogant...... Even he was deceived.
Yun Hui was worried about this, compared to reinforcements in the ordinary sense, he even felt that it was more practical to ask the gods to send down heavenly soldiers and generals to help...... I just don't know, at this time, I started to knock on the wooden fish in my heart, is it too late to ask the Buddha to appear?
Until, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, galloping towards him.
