Chapter 11 All Silences
Lang Wu and the others watched Chief Long take charge of them and leave, and then returned to the tent to discuss with everyone how to arrange soldiers and horses.
When Li Yong was leaving, the general gave him the Xiaotian Sword and let him act cheaply. But he still discussed and acted with Lang Wu, which shows that he did not have the slightest intention of slacking off Lang Wu and Wu Yingzhao, which made Lang Wu very happy in his heart.
Lang Wu said in a loud voice:
"Brother Li Yong, everyone is here, you can command."
"Okay, I'll trespass on that little brother." Li Yong humbly hugged his fists towards Lang Wu and the others, and when he walked to the chair in the tent, he did not sit down, put the Howling Heavenly Sword in front of him, looked around at everyone, and said slowly:
"According to the general's order: the traitor Mao Shoudeng has been ambushed, and the rest are not asked, Wang Jincai's department and Mao Chongying's department are still under the command of General Lang, and they are guarding here to prevent Yiling and Jingzhou soldiers and horses. Mao Shou Deng's ministry is willing to follow the servant, and the unwilling to follow will pay the silver two on the same day to order him to unload his armor and return home. Sweaty and green, Pi Xingyong led Mao Shoudeng's department to immediately rush to the aid of Huangliang Town. After a pause, "What do you think of your objections?"
Lang Wu and others all nodded first:
"No objection!"
"Okay, there is still Lord Lao Lang and you here." Li Yong hugged his fists again and thanked him.
Everyone hurriedly hugged their fists and saluted, and immediately Lang Wu personally led the capable generals to the battalions to rectify the military horses.
……
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and it is almost three watches.
In accordance with Dolgon's orders, Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, and others set out at three o'clock today, and were cautious on the road, so that they marched very slowly.
"How far is it from Wollongong?" Bai Rumei asked the general beside her.
"It's nearly forty miles." The general replied.
"Send someone to invite Admiral Wang and Governor Zhang, and set up camp here."
"Wow!" The general agreed, patted the horse and left the herald.
After a while, Zhang Changgeng and Wang Yizheng arrived.
"Brother Bai Nian called me to come here, and made the army and horses stop, why did you stop?" Zhang Changgeng drove the horse to Bai Rumei, and asked with a slight fist.
"The two adults quickly get off the horse, the lower officials have something to say." Bai Rumei's towering cheekbones seemed to have green tendons rising, and she looked a little anxious. The surrounding pro-soldiers and generals were obviously well-trained, and they had to surround them, blocking the three adults with their bodies one after another, just in case, and the pro-soldiers on the periphery immediately erected screens and set up felt tents.
"Since the regent has already said that we need to launch a general attack on Nanyang Town on the 24th day of the lunar calendar, and this place is only a hundred or dozens of miles away from Nanyang, and it is also a night march, I am afraid that the enemy will be ambushed. Since the time is abundant, foolishly think that you don't need to care about this moment, in the following words, what do the two adults think? Bai Rumei asked as she stared at them with blazing eyes.
"What Brother Bai Nian has seen is extremely true!"
"What Lord Bai said makes sense!"
Zhang Wang and the others nodded frequently in agreement. The two of them had to leave, but because of Bai Rumei's "orthodox leader" position, it was difficult to say, and now when they heard Bai Rumei mention it, they were all happy. The army is now encamped!
It is about six or seven miles away from Bai Rumei's former army to the West River, and Hei Yougong led eight thousand military horses to be stationed on the hill on the other side of the West River, which is the only place to pass through to Nanyang.
The news of the arrival of Bai Rumei and others was already received by Hei Yougong during the day. And quickly informed Li Shoujun of Shounanyang Town, Shoujun had gone to Maolu Mountain to send Tang Ma to report, so Yougong and the others did not feel flustered, but felt calm, and sooner or later they were coming.
In recent days, you have ordered people to cut down all the trees and trees under the mound, seal off all the roads leading to the mounds, and lay down fences and fences on high places to prevent the enemy from stealing through.
A temporary fort had also been set up on the bank of the river, and two huge red-coated cannons were eyeing the other side of the river. The main road leading to the hill was blocked by a fence and made it impassable. On both sides of the road, two small pillboxes more than one person high are built with stones, leaving eye holes, and multiple people can stand at the same time to draw bows and arrows or cast bird guns.
"How far is the enemy from us?" Yougong stared at the darkness on the other side of the river and asked the soldiers around him.
"Hei Ye, according to the report from the patrol just now, the enemy is only about six or seven miles away from us, and he has stopped moving, and it seems that he is going to set up camp." Lai Shun, the leader of the pro-soldiers standing next to him, hurriedly replied.
"Oh, don't go, that's not going to work! Call all the brothers who have been in ambush, prepare the cannons, rockets, and war drums, and set out with me in a quarter of an hour!" Gong commanded.
"Also, let the other brethren rest well."
"Yes, Master Hei!" Lai Shun agreed, and he was very excited. After a whole day, I felt uncomfortable, and now I can finally move.
The moment passed quickly, and the men and horses had been assembled. I saw that Hei Yougong made a big move, the soldiers extinguished the torches, and the horsemen went first, running in the direction of Wollongong.
Before leaving, you called down Shun, "Come to Shun'er, you can't go!"
"Master Hei, you let me go, I promise to kill a few more enemies!" Let's talk about it.
"Look after the camp for me, there must be no mistake!"
“…… Yes, Master Black. It seems that Lai Shun'er is very reluctant, he really wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he doesn't know that Hei Yougong is also forced to die, and the soldiers and generals who can be trusted and relied on have died one after another in the past few years, and Lai Shun'er is the best candidate to stay!
After a short time, the meritorious troops had quietly sneaked to the enemy's camp, but they heard the sound of cannons and war drums and horns, and the soldiers fired rockets at the enemy's camp one after another.
Hei Yougong led two thousand elite horsemen to cut down when he met people, and killed people when he met them, as if he was in a no-man's land. Before the enemy could resist, they scattered and fled, retreating towards Wollongong, and chased after him with a sword and a prancing horse. I never thought about killing all the way, and I had penetrated into the enemy camp for several miles. Looking at the entourage behind him, there were only a few dozen horsemen following.
Suddenly, he stopped his horse and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he seemed to hear something unusual.
As he was about to turn his horse's head, suddenly, a group of men and horses poured out of the dense forest, almost blocking their retreat.
"Who's coming? Kill my Noldor soldiers, don't you want to get away at this moment? But in the midst of the enemy, a middle-aged military general wearing a bright silver helmet and tight-fitting cotton armor, carrying a muddy iron point steel spear in his hand, urged the horse forward.
Seeing that no one was beside him, he continued:
"The old man is as white as a plum, and he never kills a nameless ghost under the gun. Look at your appearance, you seem to be a famous general, if you can go through three or five moves under the old man, the old man will spare your life. ”
has merit in this posture, knowing that a vicious fight will inevitably be fought today, but he didn't expect the other party to be so big. Suddenly, he thought to himself, "Looking at this old thief, who is about fifty years old, he has such courage, he must not be a wasted person, he must be careful to deal with it." ”
Having made up his mind, he urged the mount to take a step forward, and bowed slightly, and said:
"The contemptible surname is black, the name is meritorious, and I have come to teach Your Excellency a high move!"
"Okay, refreshed!" Bai Rumei said, no longer spoke, and the prancing horse speared straight to the door of Hei Yougong.
Yougong hurriedly raised the golden knife in his hand and tried his best to block it, but when he heard the sound of "dang", he was suddenly shocked by Yougong's cold sweat.
The opponent's steel spear is calm and steady, and he can't move it at all. In a hurry, he had to immediately turn his head to avoid it, saying that it was too late and that time was fast, but the steel gun was aimed at the black meritorious mount and only stabbed it, and the meritorious person couldn't get rid of it, only to see a war horse of Nuo Da fall to the ground in an instant, and blood splattered.
Yougong jumped off the horse, clenched the big knife, and stared at Bai Rumei with angry eyes, watching how he moved next.
Bai Rumei's relatives behind him will be ready to be captured. But he heard Governor Bai speak:
"Why didn't General Hei come down early?"
After a while, seeing that the other party was silent and a little unconvinced, he asked again:
"Then how about the general change horses and fight again?"
I saw that after Yougong, the soldiers immediately led a tall green horse. He immediately jumped on his horse, shook his spirits, and wanted to fight again.
At this moment, the sudden shouting of killing behind him shook the sky, and it was the meritorious cavalry who rushed here. And behind the enemy is also a fire.
Yougong stared at Bai Rumei tightly to prevent him from raiding, and the soldiers behind him were all full of bowstrings, waiting for the battle, protecting Yougong and slowly retreating.
Bai Rumei watched them leave calmly in front of her, and she couldn't help it! After a while, Hei Yougong and the others gradually disappeared into the night. Governor White was still staring in the direction of the enemy's departure.
"My lord, the enemy is far away. Do you want to organize an attack immediately? The next general asked.
"Alas, forget it!" Bai Rumei said while waving her hand. "Go back!"
I can't imagine that I will hunt geese all day long, but today I will let the geese peck blind!
After a short time, he returned to the camp by the West River.
"Looks like the enemy's combat effectiveness isn't very good! In addition to Bai Rumei, yes, the next time you meet this old horseman, you must be extra careful! He looked out of the tent at a large locust tree that had been dyed silver by the moonlight, and reminded himself fiercely.
……
It's late at night, Guogong Mansion.
青萍同来亨还在“机要”房中商议,主要考虑是否将国公府机要总部搬到山下百羊寨内,这样可以更为方便和节省时间,接着就是讨论百城寨的防务。
Qingping advocated allocating 10,000 troops from Baicheng to Xingshan, but Lai Heng was reluctant. The reason is actually simple, that is, the hundred cities are dozens of miles away, the land is abundant, the products are abundant, and it is known as the "small granary" of Xingshan. Therefore, Laiheng did not want to give up easily, but considering the more important military position of Xingshanzhai and the overall planning, Li Laiheng finally had to unify his opinions and views with Qingping.
The hour was almost four watches, and Lai Heng and Qingping went out of the house together.
Seeing this, the guards outside the door hurriedly saluted.
I only heard Qingping say:
"Grandpa Guo rested earlier, Qingping went." With a slight fist, he turned to leave.
Lai Heng nodded, looking at the bright moon hanging high, there was a quiet all around, and everything was silent!
