Chapter 105: Hair
"Appeal ————"
Chen Wang let out a low sigh in his mouth, gently pulled the reins in his hand, and stopped the advancing war horse.
When the riders behind him saw Chen Wang's movements, they all stopped together.
Chen Gong and Zhao Huailiang each took a step forward on the left and right, and stood behind Chen Wang's side.
Immediately on a mound at the foot of the mountain, the entire Xishan camp was in full view of Chen Wang.
Chen Wang's expression was calm, and his gaze swept from the foothills of the Xishan camp to the top of the mountain.
I don't know why, every time he is about to fight, he doesn't have the slightest nervousness, and his thoughts become clearer and clearer.
Although my hands trembled a little every time, my heart couldn't stop beating.
But once you hold the reins or the blade, it all settles down quickly, and that's an instinctive reaction of the body.
The trembling was not fear, the beating heart, the boiling blood, were all signals released by his body, telling him that he was ready to fight.
The wind was blowing, the flag was waving, and Chen Wang's originally calm gaze was a little rippling.
The camp was built on the mountain, and the three camps were defended from the foot of the three mountains, and then halfway up the mountain, until the top of the mountain was layered on top of the mountain.
Layer upon layer, ravines, surrounded by horses, thousands of defenses.
After practicing archery for a long time, Chen Wang's eyesight is excellent, and it is with his excellent eyesight that he found a bird outside Hutou Town that did not fall because the ambush soldiers were between the mountains.
The place where the formation was lined up was only 400 steps away from the Xishan camp, and the general layout of the Liukou camp was almost clearly seen by Chen Wang.
Chen Wang's eyes were fixed and he frowned slightly, this stream of rogue was much more tricky than expected.
Such an arrangement seems to have come from the military at this time.
After being promoted to guerrilla, when Hong Chengchou sent people to escort him with ordnance and military supplies, he also sent him a lot of information about the rogue.
For example, the names of the thirteen families and seventy-two battalions of rogues, as well as some independent rogues and some situations in various states and counties.
Lin Shengquan, the king of climbing, was originally a smuggler of salt, born in Pingliang Mansion, and after being arrested and imprisoned, he was able to escape by breaking the county seat by taking advantage of the rogue, and became the leader with his original savings and connections.
And Li Yangchun, the king of the Four Heavens, went out of the army and launched a mutiny, and then merged with Wang Jiayin for a while across northern Shaanxi, and all the provinces in northern Shaanxi suffered from it.
If the seventy-two battalions were within the Ming army, they were divided into the upper twenty-four battalions, the middle twenty-four battalions, and the lower twenty-four battalions.
Li Yangchun belongs to the Upper Twenty-fourth Battalion and ranks eighth in the Upper Battalion.
And Lin Shengquan, the king of climbing, belongs to the 24th battalion of the middle camp, ranking 18th in the middle battalion, and the total 42nd.
Li Zicheng's ranking in the upper camp was originally only ranked sixth.
But after Ai Wannian, Liu Chenggong, and Zhang Waijia were strangled by him, they jumped to the first place in the camp.
It's just that after Chunhua's defeat, its strength will be greatly damaged, and its ranking will naturally change.
However, Chen Wang didn't pay attention to these, he knew that between the three departments of the current Gongchang Mansion, it must be Li Yangchun.
The rogue has been running for many years and already has its own set of rules of conduct.
Although the upper, middle and lower battalions were originally the Ming army's internal list, but after the news was leaked, the Liukou also began to implement a three-level sub-battalion system.
The lower battalion obeyed the middle battalion, the middle battalion obeyed the upper battalion, and the upper battalion obeyed the thirteen families.
Of course, there is no internal order within the rogue, and if the battalion level is the same, it is decided according to the size of the force.
However, if there is a huge difference in strength, then even if the strong side has a low battalion level, the other side must obey, this is an unspoken rule.
The two battalions met, and the strong were honored.
When he was in Qingyang Mansion, the reason why Hui Dengxiang, who was one of the thirteen families, obeyed Li Zicheng was because Li Zicheng's military strength was at its peak at that time, and he was pursued all the way to a great loss of strength, and the disparity was too great, so he could only give up the authority to command.
Then after Li Zicheng suffered a fiasco, Hui Dengxiang directly left Li Zicheng and fled without hesitation, and did not violate the rules, after all, he was one of the thirteen families.
Chen Wang dragged his war horse back and forth on the mound, inspecting the camp of the Liukou in the West Mountain.
Almost all of the rogues in the 24th Battalion are stubble, and they are marked in the list.
Li Yangchun is marked with only a few words: "steady and good at keeping".
And now the camp is indeed worthy of these four words.
Chen Wang saw clearly, and he saw a lot of Fran cannons arranged in the camp of the Liukou.
If it is only attacked by a sea of people, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Liukou occupies a favorable location, condescending, not only has the camp wall as a shelter, but also has a turret, an arrow tower, stacked three-dimensional, and even the camp wall is not a wallpaper, many sections even have a recessed part.
Attacking the recessed wall will only suffer more long-range attacks, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties before it touches the camp wall.
There are no immortals in war, but Chen Wang does not want his soldiers to die worthless.
Li Yangchun was more tricky than he imagined, these rogues may not be from a professional background, they have no illustrious family background, and they have not read any decent military books.
But they are better at fighting than those generals who are born in generals.
Because all their experiences are bought by blood, and are gained through the lessons of blood and tears.
Chen Wang retracted his gaze, it was too far away, and many of the arrangements were not clear after all, and I was afraid that it would take a lot of effort to do it then.
Chen Wang's eyes condensed slightly, if he had a pair of telescopes now, he would undoubtedly be able to occupy more advantages.
It's a pity that if you want to buy a telescope now, I'm afraid that you can only send someone to buy it in the coastal area or in big cities such as Beijing.
Chen Wang looked at Li Yangchun's arrangement, and his eyes gradually became solemn.
Li Yangchun's arrangement is definitely not to prevent him.
Because he pursued Li Guo all the way, with the help of the post station, he reported that he had received the news that Gongchang Mansion had invaded the Liukou not long ago.
How did Li Yangchun know that he would chase Li Guo all the way, and the rendezvous with Li Guo was completely a coincidence.
In just four or five days, such a strong camp could not be built, and a camp of this scale could be repaired for at least a month.
Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan led their troops to Gongchang Mansion, and relied on Juling Mound Mountain to set up heavy defenses, but they did not follow Gao Yingxiang and Hong Chengchou to fight in Sanyuan, which is unusual.
Gao Yingxiang is now the head of the camps, that is, Zhang Xianzhong, Ma Huihui and others have obeyed.
Li Yangchun was placed under Gao Yingxiang in the list, how could he not listen to Gao Yingxiang's orders.
Chen Wang speculated that Li Yangchun's arrival was definitely on Gao Yingxiang's orders.
"Yan'an Mansion, Gongchang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion, Xi'an Mansion, ......"
Most of the Liukou were led by Gao Yingxiang in the decisive battle of Sanyuan, but a small number of Liukou were wandering in the five provinces of Shaanxi.
"Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan......"
The distribution of the rogues is extremely wide, and there are beacons everywhere, and disputes arise everywhere.
Chen Wang felt that he had grasped an extremely thin silk thread and discovered an extremely important matter.
Gao Yingxiang seems to be planning something, planning something.
It's just that with the existing information, it is impossible to know Gao Yingxiang's true purpose.
Chen Wang exhaled a breath of turbid air and laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart.
Now he is just a small guerrilla who can't be smaller, even if the sky falls and hits him first, it will definitely not be him, naturally someone will take it first.
All he needs to do is fight this battle now.
After winning this battle and sending the victory into Xi'an, he kept his position as a guerrilla.
Then Li Yangchun and other troops entered Hanzhong, and then followed away, slowly developing.
There is no foundation in a fixed place, no matter how strong the strength is, it is just duckweed in the water, unable to grasp its own destiny, and can only go with the flow.
"After the exploration is completed, there is no enemy ambush between the mountains on both sides, and our troops have already occupied important places if they do not collect at night."
"There are seven artillery towers on the west side of the West Mountain, thirteen arrow towers, and there are also Franc machine muzzles behind the wall, and the Franc machine is mainly small and medium-sized, and there is no thousand catties of Franc machine."
"The enemy's infantry ranks converged behind the wall, and the elite cavalry stood on the high ground to support, and there were abnormal movements in the three mountains."
"There are a large number of horse troops assembled in the Dongshan camp, and the Liukou have scattered their elite cavalry, and it seems that they want to capture the rear camp of our army."
Carrying the command flag, Ye Bushu galloped from a distance, and reported the intelligence coefficient of the probing nearby.
"The enemy army has set up three walls, and there are many ravines along the road, but most of them are not too deep, and the soldiers in the middle have been ordered to dig up the soil and sand."
Chen Wang bowed slightly, signaling that he knew, and then ordered.
"All the rangers in front of them are withdrawn from the front, protecting the flanks, and they just need to prevent the enemy's scouts from breaking into the circle."
The military order was issued, and the night that reported the news did not accept the high voice and answered the order, even if it was dusty, without dragging mud and water.
The situation that the Dongshan camp would send troops to attack the camp he placed in the rear was naturally expected by Chen Wang.
After all, he has also gone through a hundred battles, and as the general's personal guard, Cao Wenzhao also told him a lot of things that need to be paid attention to, so he will naturally guard against it.
Chen Wang's battle this time was almost the whole army, but it did not mean that there was no one to guard the camp.
There are now more than 2,000 soldiers from all over Gongchang Mansion in the camp to guard it, and these soldiers can't fight in the field, but it is more than enough to guard the camp.
Chen Wang refocused his gaze on the layered camp, if he led the Changping soldiers under Zuo Liangyu, and there were a large number of auxiliary troops, he would choose to attack.
If it was the Datong soldiers under Cao Wenzhao's command, who he led, and there were 500 Ding cavalry under his hands, he would choose to break through the surface with a point, break through the camp gate and lead the army to break through.
But he is now leading a group of recruits who have just been trained for a month, and the Liao cavalry under his command is one less than one, so he does not use either plan.
Chen Wang has a more secure and better way than the first two plans, and it is also a method that Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao will never use.
"Raise the red flag."
Chen Wang raised the horsewhip in his hand and ordered in a deep voice.
The herald on the side immediately raised a red flag and shook it suddenly.
"Woo————"
The low sound of the horn slowly sounded behind Chen Wang.
Chen Wang's horse stopped, and he threw himself to his side, and everyone's eyes followed Chen Wang.
Just on the right, eight huge artillery wagons were slowly pushed up the mound.
Times have changed, why do you still use stupid methods to attack the city?
Caliber is justice, range is truth.
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the cannons are blasting the damn thing!
