Dive in to feed the horses
The Chinese army and the left and right armies have gone up the mountain to set up a camp, the weather is getting cooler, the cold wind on the mountain is biting, the soldiers are practicing in order to cope with the cold wind, hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the mountain build an earthen wall, and soon the thick earthen wall rises from the ground, Yan Xiong and Yan Yu face each other at the bottom of the mountain, nodding with satisfaction. Yan Xiong said: "Yan Yu, I will hand over the command of this left-behind army to you, help the eldest brother defend the camp, and wait for the eldest brother to triumph." Yan Yu: "Big brother, don't worry!" ”
Yan Xiong turned around and said, "Where are the cavalry generals on the left and right?" The two cavalry generals dismounted and bowed, "The last general." Yan Xiong: "The left cavalry took dry food and water bags and detoured to the rear of the enemy's wolf's tooth tent for thirty miles, and rushed to the wolf's tooth tent at dawn. Left Cavalry: "No! Yan Xiong: "The general of the right cavalry led the cavalry to go around the rear of the tiger division and hibernate, and the left cavalry rushed to the eagle division, the leopard division, and the nearest connection point of the tiger division before dawn to block the enemy's reinforcements. General of the Right Horse: "No." ”
Instructor Ma led his subordinates to infiltrate the enemy's horse farm and cut its reins, so that the Tiger Division could not control the horses, and the key to this victory depended on the horse instructor. Ma Liang: "The general wants to face the Tiger Division?" Yan Xiong: "Yes, the Tiger Division is the elite core of the Northern Kingdom, if the Tiger Division is destroyed, the Northern Kingdom will not dare to invade the south, if only the Eagle Division or the Leopard Division is destroyed, the Northern Kingdom can make a comeback at any time, the Tiger Division will not be destroyed, and the war will continue." Ma Liang: "But the general, the Tiger Division's combat power is far stronger than that of the Eagle Division and the Leopard Division." Yan Xiong: "The arrogant army will be defeated, this is the time for the north to relax its vigilance, and now the south is regarded as a piece of meat that can be eaten at any time, but he doesn't know that this piece of meat in the south will break his teeth, and he will not enter the tiger's den to get the tiger, so it is better to take the initiative in a planned way than to defend."
Ma Liang: "The general is brave and unparalleled, and Ma Liang will not be dishonored." Yan Xiong: "At dawn, after Instructor Ma set fire, he and General Ben attacked the Tiger Division on two sides. General Ben also wants to see if the combat power of this so-called Tiger Division is the same as the legend! Maleonn: "No." ”
The palace of the imperial city was majestic, and the emperor: "Do you have something to do?" The official Shangshu stepped forward and arched his hand: "Minister, there is something to play." Emperor: "Aiqing, please speak!" Official: "Your Majesty, the front military reported that the general Yan Xiong returned from a great defeat in the battle with the North, and has now fled to the mountains for refuge, if the Northern Army surrounds the mountain, 600,000 soldiers of our Tang Dynasty will be martyred." Emperor: "What? Since there is such a thing? What is this Yan Xiong doing? After suffering the defeat, he became so confused, did not defend it strictly, and retreated when the grain and grass in the northern country were exhausted, and fled to the mountains, which is really unreasonable! ”
The prime minister came over and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has long heard that Yan Xiong is arbitrary in the army, my nephew is in the military management office, dutiful, accidentally offended his sister, my nephew didn't know that it was his sister, and he was beheaded by military law, and her sister is powerful in the army, often abusing soldiers, and the generals in the army dare not speak out!" The emperor slapped the table and said: "What a boldness, you Yan Xiong, I value you so much, but I regard the military camp as my home, and I also abuse military law, pass on my will, revoke Yan Xiong's position as general, and return to the city to reflect." ”
An old general stepped forward and said, "The old minister has something to do." Emperor: "The old general, please, the old general, but it doesn't hurt to say it." "Old General Zhao: "Emperor Xie, the old city heard that Yan Xiong's deeds are different from Li Xiang, Yan Xiong governs the army very strictly, and treats everyone equally, and his sister is a strange woman to help his army greatly increase his combat strength, and he is also a personal commander to help his brother repel the northern cavalry, so that my southern soldiers will not be wiped out." ”
Emperor: "Oh, is that so?" "Old General Zhao: "The old minister wanted to ask the emperor for a reward for the general's sister, but he didn't want to be slandered, and what the prime minister said was also untrue, the prime minister's nephew overstepped his authority and wanted to kill Yan Xiong's sister, violating military law, I heard that the motive for overstepping his authority to kill was even more difficult to say, he wanted to defile Yan Xiong's sister, and was bitten by Yan Xiong's sister on the back of his hand, he really deserves to die!" ”
Prime Minister: General Zhao, you ....... General Zhao: "Am I wrong, as for what the whole army is afraid of, it is because a sergeant was ordered to rescue her, and she should have been rescued immediately, but the sergeant only saved her at the moment of death, and before saving her, he also said a lot of scary words such as death, which scared her to wander between life and death, and when she was saved, she was so scared that she cried and laughed." Later, she took revenge on the sergeant, and finally scared the sergeant unconscious, and scared a sergeant. Emperor: "Hahaha...... What a woman to mess with! Emperor: "However, since Yan Xiong has already repelled the northern kingdom, why do he still have to retreat and camp on the mountain?"
Old General Zhao: "Your Majesty, there are clouds in the book of soldiers, soldiers are guarded against their advantages because of their disadvantages, my southern Tang Dynasty soldiers lack horses, and the cavalry of the infantry army is not an opponent, the old minister guesses, Yan Xiong must be defending the northern cavalry army by the mountain, and the mountain defense does not need cavalry, so that Yan Xiong's 100,000 cavalry army has no worries, Yan Xiong is not to retreat, but to attack." ”
The emperor slapped the table and said: "Sure enough, Yan Xiong is not mistaken, Yan Xiong is worthy of Yan Xiong, but more than 100,000 cavalry troops may not have a chance to win against the enemy's 300,000 iron cavalry." After speaking, the emperor frowned. Seeing this, General Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are treacherous, Yan Xiong has led the troops for many years, and the old minister believes that Yan Xiong will not fight an uncertain battle." The emperor: "Okay, if Yan Xiong returns victorious, I will definitely reward the army, and those who have merit will be rewarded for their merits." ”
At this time, the special training camp was discussing in the big tent, Yan Yu: "This operation is very important, whether you can win or not is in this operation, what do you think?" Ma Liang: "General, if you talk about riding a horse and cultivating a good horse, I Ma Liang should not give in, and when it comes to going deep behind enemy lines, this operation is dominant, and it is none other than Instructor Murong." ”
Murong Ba: "Instructor Ma Liang, it's wonderful, this time the difficulty is too great, I am actually not completely sure, the Tiger Division has 100,000 military horses, the defense must be strict, and the number of military horses is too large, I can only desperately complete the task, and if I don't succeed, I will become benevolent." ”
Everyone frowned, and suddenly Tianjiu said: "Eh, it's hard to cut the reins of the horses for free, don't poison these military horses." Yan Yu: "Poisonous things are already scarce in the army, how much poison do you need for 100,000 military horses, horses eat herbs, they are born with a certain degree of anti-toxicity, and I don't know how much weight can poison a horse, there are very few poisonous things in the army, and there is no time to go back to the city to buy them, this plan is not good." Ma Liang shook his head and said: "Even if it works, it can't be adopted, it's too cruel for a military horse, so don't be so cruel." Yan Yu: "Instructor Ma is right, this is a Terran war, don't treat military horses like this!" Tianjiu: "When I didn't say it, you continue to discuss, I'll go to the thatched house." The crowd was speechless! Yan Yu: "Leave him alone, lazy people have a lot of and pee, let's continue to ......"
Tianjiu was in the thatched house, Tianjiu: "Hmm! Constipation again! It's so uncomfortable, do you want to eat some croton again, no, don't eat croton again, I ate too much last time, I pulled it for a day, I almost pulled out the large intestine, drink more water later, croton, yes, croton, there are a lot of crotons in the army, give the horse croton, so it won't be poisoned. Tianjiu lifted his pants and said: Discuss with them. After walking a few steps, he stopped, and said, "This horse idiot, I will definitely not agree, protect the horse to protect my son, and I will go by myself." ”
Tianjiu came to the barracks alone and said, "Are you still sleeping?" It's time to wake up! As soon as the young man sitting on the bed got up with great joy, he saluted: "Instructor Zhang, we haven't slept but we are in good spirits, do we have a combat mission?" Tianjiu: "You haven't even slept, don't be unaware of your tasks when the time comes!" "Youth: Instructor Zhang, don't worry, today I slept during the day and stayed in good spirits at night, but now I really can't sleep, get up and sit." Tianjiu: "That's good, bring some people to the warehouse with me to move some materials needed for the task." The youth rejoiced: "Command".
After a while, the young man with the sergeant followed Tianjiu and carried a lot of sacks of croton out, and the young man: "Instructor Zhang, this is the mission material, shouldn't the mission material be a weapon or protection?" Does this have anything to do with this mission? "Tianjiu: Where are there so many problems, this is a secret weapon, twenty catties per person will be distributed." The young man looked puzzled and said: Instructor Zhang, you have given us more than 500 people 20 catties each, almost more than 10,000 catties of beans, what is the use of this bean. Tianjiu muttered a few words in the young man's ear, and the young man was shocked: "Instructor Zhang, what do you want these crotons to do......" Tianjiu covered his mouth and said: "This is a secret, don't shout, don't talk nonsense before the mission is over, sneak into the enemy camp tonight, let the big guy feed the horse by the way when he cuts the reins, give me half a catty in the manger, I don't believe it won't fall." The young man nodded, and Tianjiu let go, and then said, "You just give the order!" Youth: "Yes, Instructor Zhang, promise to complete the task." ”
It's getting late, and the night has arrived, "Five miles in front of General Qiqi is Yan Xiong's Chinese army tent, and if you go further, you may be discovered." Ouyang Luo raised his hand: "Stop, you, lead a small team to explore the way ahead, wait to get off the horse and wait, wait until late at night, they are asleep, and we will rush in and chop Yan Xiong's dog head with all our might." ”
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, "General Qiyu, Yan Xiong's camp, the lights are bright, there are sergeants standing guard in front of the tent, there are no southern horses in front of the three miles, and the captain is still continuing to explore the road." ”
Ouyang Luo: "The warriors will go to the front three miles to rest and recuperate, and then I will be killed in the enemy camp tonight." ”
In the middle of the night, Ouyang Luo led the army into a big surprise and said: "Why is this place empty, people?" Where did they go? A northern sergeant rode a horse to report: "General, there are straw men at the gate of the camp, and the camp is empty. ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw a dense number of rockets flying, and a raging fire was burning on the ground in front and behind the camp, this was the trench that Yan Xiong had dug to block Ouyang Luo, and there were things buried in it that ignited fire. shouted: "It's not good, they are trying to trap us, and at this time they must be sneaking up on the camp behind our Eagle Division, this shameless fellow, while the two sides are still in fire, quickly retreat back to the camp from both sides." ”
Yan Yu was taking care of the wounded on the mountain, and suddenly a sergeant came to report: "General Qiyu, Ouyang Luo has retreated." Yan Yu: "Ouyang Luo is suspicious by nature, and extremely conceited, if he doesn't make a little noise, he will continue to send people and horses tonight to find out where my army is, he finds that the later it is, the more beneficial it is for our army, if he finds that my army has changed and there is no movement, he will definitely go to join the tiger division, which will be very unfavorable to the eldest brother's action this time." After this trouble, it will definitely return to the camp of the Eagle Division, tossing back and forth for more than 100 miles, people are sleepy and lacking horses, and then rushing to reinforce the Tiger Division is probably that the war horses are close to the limit, what combat power is there? It's the right time to come today, if he doesn't come today, he really sweats for his eldest brother. ”
Yan Xiong, Ma Liang, Zhang Tianjiu, Murong Ba, Zhanbo, Jiang Jie's 500 cavalry and his own 3,000 cavalry formed a cavalry of more than 3,000 people. Ma Liang: "The general can rest assured, fortunately, he will not be dishonored." ”
Seeing Ma Liang and the others go away, Yan Xiong: Get off the horse and hide.
Ma Liang and his entourage walked a long way and dismounted, everyone changed into the uniform of the Eagle Division, took the Eagle Division's saber, rode on the war horse, and went to the Tiger Division's tent.
At the gate of the big tent, he was stopped by the guards, and everyone dismounted, and the guards: Eagle Master? What are you waiting for? Ma Liang: "General of my family, raided the camp of the Tang Army, there are remnants who have fled here, we will chase and kill them to eliminate them, people are sleepy and tired, I want to rest in the Tiger Division for a day, and return tomorrow." ”
The guards looked up and down, saw the blood stains and damage on their battle armor, and the blade on the knife, which obviously experienced a vicious battle, and said: "The Tang army should retreat south after defeat?" It is impossible to flee north, and if you flee north, you will definitely have a dead end, and someone will come! A large number of tiger masters surrounded them, Ma Liang and others, holding sabers in their hands, sweating in their hearts. Guard: "Surround them, I'll check the news." ”
The guard entered a large tent and said, "General, there is an iron cavalry of the Eagle Division outside, asking to enter the Tiger Division's garrison to rest." General: "Where did they come from?" Guard: "They said that they were chasing the Tang army fleeing north, and the Tang army should flee south, how could they flee north, their subordinates thought it must be a deception and surrounded them." The general said: "Well, you are very careful, but they said that it was true that they were chasing the Tang army fleeing north, and the two armies of the Eagle Division and the Leopard Division attacked the Tang Army camp at night, and it must be the Leopard Division that cut off their back route and fled north." ”
Guard: "Even so, escaping north is a dead end, why not give it a go, and there may be a chance to fight back to the south." ”
The general laughed and said: "The back road is cut off, the ants are still stealing, panicked, it is possible to escape when they lose their way, you settle them well, only a few hundred people, even if they are enemy spies, in front of my 100,000 tiger division, it is difficult to turn over the big waves, you send people to closely monitor, if there is any inappropriate killing." Guard: "It's the general." ”
After a tea time, the guard went to the big tent and said, "You two will lead the way to help settle the military horses, and then arrange for them to move in." The two of them arched their hands: "No". Ma Liang and the others didn't know that if it weren't for their night attack plan, their five hundred people would become dead souls under the sword in an instant, and marching and fighting sometimes pay attention to luck, so they followed the two guards of the tiger division to the stable.
