Conquest of Nanzhao --- defend the bridge and fight against the water 2
Bai Shuixiu said in his heart: It turned out that the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao had not slept all night, besieging the Tang army, it seemed that they were going to catch turtles in an urn and kill them all.
Bai Shuixiu sent people to the bridgehead to ask the pioneer general Xia Yuqing to come back to discuss the matter, and he checked the geographical map book and meditated.
Xia Yuqing returned to the woods behind the bridge, Bai Shuixiu was closing his eyes and thinking, and then opened his eyes and said, "Xia Shuai, the matter has come to this point, I can't say it, I can only take risks. 」
Xia Yuqing said, "Will the plan be released? 」
Bai Shuixiu said: "Order the deputy general Chen Zhaoyuan to lead two hundred soldiers with banners and bows and arrows to quickly go to the road, false flags as suspicious soldiers, if the enemy builds a pontoon bridge, then use bows and arrows to disturb, as far as possible to delay the enemy's crossing of the river, the other way to order the deputy generals Peng Yangang and Li Chuanying to lead a thousand soldiers to quickly set up an ambush between Yuanmou and the Xieyue Stone Bridge, be sure to prevent the Nanzhao army from approaching the big stone bridge, otherwise the whole army will be dusty. 」
Xia Yuqing asked, "How about I personally lead the ambush soldiers?" 」
Bai Shuixiu said, "No! 」
Xia Yuqing said, "Why not? The ambush was led by me personally, and between advancing and retreating, wouldn't it be better to grasp the timing. Furthermore, I am the main general, if I don't move forward bravely, what is the example of a soldier? 」
Bai Shuixiu replied: "Xia Shuai is the chief general of the vanguard army, and he can't be taken lightly, besides, the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief and the deputy marshal are unknown, Xia Shuai is the head of the whole army, if there is a mistake, the whole army has nothing to rely on!" 」
Xia Yuqing listened to what he said and no longer insisted.
So according to Bai Shuixiu's suggestion, sent three generals to go separately, before leaving, Bai Shuixiu instructed Chen Zhaoyuan to make a secret plan, let him act according to the plan, Chen Zhaoyuan nodded yes, and then got on the horse and galloped away.
At this time, the sky has dawned, the soldiers and horses in the east of the bridge have all attacked, only Xia Yuqing, Bai Shuixiu and several captains and military attaches are standing at the bridgehead, as suspicious soldiers, bluffing, at this time, the Pang brothers led more than 200 people to the army and the defeated, crossed the bridge to rest.
Due to the shortage of troops, Bai Shuixiu had no choice but to order the defeated stragglers to hurry up eating dry food, and later he would call them to go to Lu Zhi to support Chen Zhaoyuan's deputy general.
After a while, Jiang Yangying, Wu Hanlong and Rong Lie came to the east of the bridge, Jiang Yangying whispered to Xia Yuqing for a while, only to see Xia Yuqing nodding.
Jiang Yangying said loudly: "Except for the second general Pang and his own soldiers, the rest of the officers and soldiers are all dispatched by General Xia. 」
Then he said to the Pang brothers, "Two, please take a step to speak! 」
Xia Yuqing ordered the military attache to follow, and the captain Gao Zhanqun led the remaining soldiers to carry more than 100 uneaten dry food, regardless of the disabled, as long as they could ride on horses, they went to Lu Zhi to support the deputy general Chen Zhaoyuan and prevent the enemy from building a bridge to cross the river.
Jiang Yangying, Wu Hanlong and Rong Lie led the Pang brothers and the pro-army to reach the forest east of the bridge.
Jiang Yangying said to the Pang brothers: "This person reported that the commander-in-chief was killed, and the two were the commander-in-chief's personal guards, who were derelict in their duties, and asked us to wait for the opportunity to get it, and ask for the guilt together!" Yes and no? The last sentence was addressed to the sergeant.
This pro-army report that the commander-in-chief was killed, and he wanted to arrest the Pang brothers to ask for the crime, but it was nothing...
The pro-soldier knelt on the ground, frightened that the six gods were lost, his speech was slurred, and he kowtowed again and again, about to ask for mercy.
The Pang brothers were immediately furious and wanted to question the pro-army in person.
Wu Hanlong stood on the left side of the pro-army, suddenly pulled out his horizontal knife, and cut off the head of the pro-army with one sword.
Er Pang and the other pro-soldiers were all startled when they saw Wu Hanlong draw his sword, and they all pulled out their blades, thinking that they were going to be fired.
Jiang Yangying waved his right hand and said, "Everyone, please don't be alarmed, we have no intention of being an enemy of you, this is just an example, whoever dares to spread rumors and confuse the army's morale, this is the end!" 」
The pro-soldiers were terrified, and several well-behaved pro-soldiers said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense! The rest of the pro-army did not answer.
Jiang Yangying saw that some of the sergeants had a frightened look on their faces, some of them had a fierce look in their eyes, and they seemed to be hesitant to draw their swords against each other, and some of them had no masters, muttering to themselves, not knowing what they were reading, seeing that the situation was dangerous, and if they were not careful, there would be chaos, so he hurriedly persuaded him and swore to the sky again and again, so that he should not worry! Then he asked the pro-army to wait outside the woods, leaving only the two Pang brothers.
The Pang brothers wanted to keep their relatives, but they were all stopped by Wu Hanlong and Rong Lie.
Seeing that the situation was helpless, the Pang brothers hurriedly said, "The sergeant is afraid of the enemy and refuses to fight, and in order to absolve himself, he talks nonsense and can't do anything! 」
Jiang Yang said with a smile: "This is natural, this time the army was defeated, the enemy ambushed everywhere, and thousands of troops and horses were killed, and the hateful general Xie Zhiwei defected before the battle, causing the commander-in-chief to be besieged and killed by thousands of southern barbarians. Yes and no? 」
The second general of Pang listened to his nonsense, but there was a meaning to excuse himself, but he didn't know his intentions, and the two looked at each other.
The elder brother Pang Tianci opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Although I tried my best, there were many enemy soldiers, and the generals of the guards were all scattered. 」
Jiang Yangying: "Hmm! Then he was speechless.
Pang Tianyao was very obedient, thinking that they had something to ask for, otherwise why would they kill people and say words to excuse the brothers. Then he said, "Although my brothers tried their best, the defeat of the Chinese army is a fact, and we are waiting for the sinful body, so what is the use of us, but it doesn't matter! Pang Tianyao didn't dare to say bluntly that the commander-in-chief was dead, after all, the two brothers couldn't shirk the responsibility of dereliction of duty, so they tested with words, what did Jiang Yangying want?
Jiang Yangying clapped his palms and said, "Shui Jiao Dragon Fruit is a happy person! Then he said, "My eldest brother, I know that the Pang brothers are proficient in the Holy Fire and Divine Water Equipment, and I have seen two good martial arts, I hope that the two of them can fight the enemy side by side with us, win the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and also clear the guilt of the two of them!" Otherwise, the two of them will return to Tang Tu and pursue it, although the world is big, it will be difficult to find a place to stay! 」
The Pang brothers heard Jiang Yangying's words, and the praise was threatening. Deng Shi understood: these guys have a heavy responsibility to guard the bridge, and they are afraid that they will not be able to bear it, so they have to pull people down to shoulder the heavy responsibility together. However, what Jiang Yangying said is also the truth, and it is not a joke to investigate it from above! So far, I can only agree.
At that moment, the two promised to return to Qiaoxi together and fight the enemy together!
Jiang Yangying secretly thought in his heart: The eldest brother asked me to take these dozens of people back to Qiaoxi, but a few more were sent to death, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly saw Pang Tianci wearing a fire helmet, his eyes rolled, and his heart moved, so he whispered: "Brother Pang family borrowed a step to speak.... 」
