Chapter 086: The Plague of the Rebels' Ambush
"Keep marching!" The sentry general Li Guang only thought that there was no ambush army, and this time as the first army, if there was no disaster and no danger, it would be regarded as a military achievement.
The great achievement was imminent, Li Guang's face was even more happy, and he rode on the horse, quite a little high-spirited. But at this moment, the rear of the headquarters suddenly became in turmoil.
Li Guang turned his head in shock, and after seeing the commotion clearly, his face surged with anger.
Among the men and horses of his headquarters, among the men and horses of the thousands, suddenly a deserting army appeared. There were about dozens of people in this deserted army, and they were walking in a chaotic direction, constantly fleeing.
"Bold!" Li Guang was furious and couldn't stop shouting. Mutiny in the army, where to put it, as the main general, he is also guilty of slackness.
Li Guang couldn't wait to take someone to chase him. But at this time, as the head of the army to explore the way, it is already close to the destination, if you return to the division, it will be a waste.
"General Li, Da Ran's death law, riots together, if you don't raise the army, General Li will be to blame."
Li Guang's face changed drastically, and he turned his head to look at the person who spoke. It was a young man with a calm face, not like those country mud legs, and his body was stained with a bit of civility.
Li Guang gritted his teeth, looked ahead, and then looked at the people who were fleeing behind. As the young man said, if you don't take care of the army, and wait for more and more husbands to flee, it will really be a big disaster.
"Listen to the order, stabilize the formation, and stop the fuzhuang who is fleeing!"
In the crowd, Chen Jing smiled quietly. The reminder he just gave Li Guang a blow to the head.
……
The long path of the march.
Ding Pei's face turned bitter, and his body trembled suddenly. He suddenly discovered that the one named Chen Jing was like the Zongheng family in ancient times, so he relied on his mouth to let him take such a risk.
At this time, there were fifty or sixty people who followed him, and they only thought that they had really gone back to their own homes, and they didn't have to fight anymore, and they all ran wildly. Even, many people even threw away their armor.
Behind them, Li Guang's angry roar rang in his ears for a while.
"What did you say!" The army of the base camp that followed closely, Hu Zun, who was riding on a horse, quickly puffed out a pair of eyes after hearing the news of the desertion.
The war is imminent, and this will undoubtedly shake the morale of the army.
Hu Zun angrily drew his long knife, wishing that the initiator of the desertion would be immediately beheaded under his horse.
"General, the deserters have come running."
"How daring!" Hu Zun raised his head and looked at the dozens of fuzhuang who had fled. Although he was angry, he also had doubts in his heart. If it is a desertion, you should choose a more covert direction.
"Centurion Ding Pei, see General Hu!"
Ding Pei, who ran over, couldn't take a breath, and immediately knelt down to speak. According to Chen Jing's teaching, he must lower his posture at this time. If you take the matter 1510, tell it seriously.
"What do you mean, there are ambushes in the forest ahead, so you can only rush to make wisdom, and use the strategy of mutiny, let the sentry Li Guang chase after him, and escape from the ambush forest?"
"Exactly." Ding Pei raised his head, his face was extremely sincere. After all, he is a veteran oilman who knows which is more important.
"But haven't you already probed before? General Li also sent people to report back, and there was no ambush. And there is an ambush, you sentinels...... It's time for the dead and wounded. ”
"General Hu, what the rebels used was a half-crossing strategy. I waited for these husbands to be strong, and there was no misfortune in the past. But the general thought that there was no ambush and took the army over, and he was afraid that he would be in danger. ”
Hu Zun frowned, and suddenly understood what Ding Pei meant.
"What's your name?"
"The villain is the fourth outpost of the Fuzhuang camp, centurion Ding Pei."
"Captain Ding, if what you said is true, it will be a great achievement. Of course, if you misjudge and disturb the morale of the army, you should not be spared! ”
Stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife. shouted "Bodhisattva bless" from the bottom of his heart, Ding Pei could only bite the bullet and continue to carry it.
After a while, Li Guang, who was chasing after him, was even more angry when he heard what had happened.
"General Li, if not, let those scouts come back and have a try."
When Li Guang lowered his head, he heard the words of the young man from before, nodded hesitantly, and asked people to call back the several scouts of the advance.
It's a pity that there has been no response for a long time.
This time, even if Li Guang is stupid, he knows that things are not simple.
He was just about to ride his horse and was about to run back to report to Hu Zun.
"General Li, you can offer a fire plan to smoke the ambushed rebels out of the forest with fire."
"Thank you......" Li Guang hesitated, and finally gave his hand to the young man who had been offering advice.
……
More than 20,000 counterinsurgents did not go deep at this time, but used fire to carefully order the forest. The border of Zhongzhou was dry, and after a while, the fire slowly burned.
The sky was dusk, and there was billowing black smoke everywhere. The choking smoke of fire stings people's noses from time to time.
Hu Zun stared at him and looked forward.
Sure enough, many rebels who were originally hiding in the depths of the dense forest hurriedly showed their figures at this time and fled in all directions.
Hu Zun exhaled fearfully. In this round, he was already extremely careful, but he never thought that he would almost fall into the ambush of the rebels.
Thanks to the cautious centurion. Of course, his wife's family, the sentry general Li Guang, offered a plan to smoke smoke, which can also be regarded as meritorious.
Hu Zun lowered his head and pondered. After entering the Barbarian Mountain, the morale was a little sluggish, and a means was indeed needed to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
"Ding Pei, you have done a good job this time. Ben will be here, promote you to the fourth outpost of the Fuzhuang battalion! Here in this general, as long as you have merit, you will not be stingy with promotion! ”
Ding Pei was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him. You know, it's not difficult to be a centurion, but if you want to be promoted to a guard sentinel, it doesn't matter what your background is, it's simply impossible.
Li Guang, who was beside him, listened to Hu Zun's words, and his face was a little gloomy. He has been reading military books for a long time, and although he is enlisting for the first time, he has always wanted to make a name for himself under Hu Zun's hands.
Now his post as a sentry general has been replaced.
"Li Guang, transfer back to me, let's be a little lieutenant first." Hu Zun smiled.
Hearing only this sentence, Li Guang couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes were red, and he hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"The ambush of the rebels was also broken by our army. When the fire stops for a while, he will reorganize the army, cross the state border, and enter the Elephant City! ”
Xiangcheng, bordering Manshan Mountain, belongs to the last border city of the Central Plains. Of course, the elephant city was plagued by the rebels before, and once it was gone, it was impossible to say that the city wall had to be repaired.
But no matter what, the first step in counterinsurgency has finally been taken.
……
"Second master, why didn't these methods be used by yourself before." In the fourth post of the Fuzhuang camp, Lin Xiao's face was obviously a little confused.
Whether it was the plan to offer fire and smoke, or the credit of discovering the ambush army, the second master of his own family did not touch his hands.
"Brother Xiao'er, take a good look, what I Chen Jing need to do is to make a big achievement that is enough to be knighted."
Actually, he didn't want to make a big deal. Frequent small achievements will only make people feel refreshed. But some military feats, such as the head of the rebel general, as long as they are successful, are enough to be crowned the lowest county county.
