Luo Chong led the four of Dalong to ride out of the manor on horseback, and was encountering the second time that Dengzhou City sent someone to urge him to go to receive the order, and this time, Deng Hai and Deng Qian, who were guarding the camp, came over in person.

However, Deng Hai has been promoted, because of the lure of the enemy, meritorious, he was promoted two levels in a row, originally a miscellaneous general of the fifth grade, crossed from the fourth grade, promoted to the fourth rank of the lieutenant general, allowed to expand the army in situ, temporarily stationed in Dengzhou City, may be transferred to the capital in the future, or may enter a regular army.

Following Luo Chong's staining, Deng Hai felt that he owed Luo Chong a great favor, so he didn't want him to offend the imperial envoy for no reason and commit a big crime of contempt for imperial power. So, I came to persuade with good intentions.

Hurriedly came to the fire, and when he saw Luo Chong, he shouted: "Master Luo, you should be called a general now, go to the city to receive the order, the imperial envoy Lord Wang urged again and again, and he was already very unhappy." ”

There were also eunuchs in the palace of the Tang and Song dynasties, but there were not many of them, and they never left the palace, so there were special ministers to do this kind of thing, and they were often the emperor's cronies, and by the way, they shouldered the responsibilities of observing the people's feelings and inspecting the moral conduct of officials.

This kind of person saying good things about a local official in the emperor's ear may not be effective, but saying bad things can have a very serious impact. In short, the local officials have to deal with them well, and they must not be offended.

Luo Chongcai doesn't care what the imperial envoy is, even if the emperor comes and doesn't want to see it, we don't bother to see it. first thanked Deng Hai for his kindness, and then said: "General Deng, it's not that I don't want to go, but the military situation is critical, and I can't care about going forward to receive orders." ”

"What military situation is critical?" Deng Hai was stunned, and his heart suddenly tightened.

At present, the vanguard troops of the Western Army of the Xia Dynasty have not yet arrived at the border of the Song Dynasty, and the enemy situation has not yet been discovered on the side of Helinbao. And the border side of the Xia Dynasty has long been tightly sealed, and the spies of the Song Dynasty can't come back after the past, and only Luo Chong, a guy with wings, can find out the information clearly.

"The Zhenxi Army is coming, 50,000 regular troops, plus reserve battalions, young and strong people, the total number is not less than 100,000, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, Dengzhou City will be besieged. ”

Luo Chong deliberately exaggerated the strength of the enemy army, but in fact, the Zhenxi Army only had more than 40,000 regular troops and more than 10,000 people who transported grain and grass, with a total of 60,000 people.

"Huh?"

Deng Hai was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "The news is accurate?"

"Can this kind of thing be a joke?"

Luo Chong glared: "I was about to find an excuse to retreat, how could I bother to step forward to receive the order." General Deng, your garrison camp of more than 1,000 people disappeared if the Zhenxi Army came casually. You'd better go back and say something, and let the envoy throw down the decree and run for your life immediately. ”

"Zhenxi Army, He Wanli ......"

Deng Hai's face turned pale in an instant, as a military general, he naturally knew a lot about He Wanli, the general of the Xia Dynasty, if he led the army to come, Dengzhou City would be shattered like an eggshell.

Besides, he was also frightened by Luo Chong's statement that he was planning to evacuate, so he reached over and grabbed Luo Chong's wrist, with a serious expression and pleading: "General Luo, you can't go, you are leaving, what should you do in Dengzhou City?"

"100,000 enemy troops, or the Zhenxi army led by He Wanli, what do I use to resist, do eggs touch stones?

Luo Chong frowned, showing vague annoyance in his helplessness, as if expressing: General Deng, you can't think of using me as a meat shield when you encounter danger, and take advantage of me not so much.

Shijo and the others secretly laughed on their horses, and said in their hearts that the boss's acting skills were getting better and better, and his expression was so good......

"General Luo, isn't your ironclad heavy cavalry already nine hundred? less than two hundred can annihilate ten times the enemy's cavalry, and now these nine hundred ......"

In a panic, Deng Hai couldn't hide that he had been secretly paying attention to the expansion and development of the riverside camp. Of course, regarding the number of biochemical knights, Luo Chong never hid it, and allowed the biochemical warriors to make noise around the camp at will.

"What's wrong with nine hundred?"

Luo Chong narrowed his eyes and replied: "Can 900 heavy cavalry fight to the death with an army of 100,000? Last time, it was a surprise that won by chance." This time, it was the Zhenxi Army under the command of Naga Wanli, and his infantry phalanx was a cavalry nemesis, with a great reputation, and the whole world knew it."

"However, if you leave, Dengzhou City will be completely finished, and I have no way to think except to abandon the city and flee for my life, and the only hope is in you. ”

Deng Hai grabbed Luo Chong's wrist and almost knelt down to beg him: "General Luo, I'm not begging you to defeat the Zhenxi Army, even if it's just to defeat his vanguard troops, give me a little time, send someone to the capital to report the emergency, and ask for one or two reinforcements." ”

The so-called reinforcements, in fact, there is little hope, the Song Dynasty fought on both sides, under the double pressure from the Xia and Tang Dynasties, and several major armies guarding the frontier were trapped to death, except for the Praetorian Guards guarding the capital, and then there were those local garrison battalions with low combat effectiveness, and there were almost no soldiers to send.

The strength of the three countries is almost the same, and now it is two countries eating one country, and the military strength of the Song Dynasty will inevitably be overstretched, and it can only be used to defend the most important positions, and a remote city like Dengzhou City is likely to become an outcast.

Everyone knows these truths, but Luo Chong still nodded and said in a deep voice: "If it's just to deal with their vanguard strength, it won't be much difficult......

"Yes, yes"

Deng Hai nodded again and again: "As long as we can defeat their vanguard troops, we will not be derelict in our duties, and we will even have great achievements, after all, it is not our crime that the imperial court cannot send reinforcements." At that time, if we evacuate Dengzhou City, there will be no problems. Otherwise, General Luo, all the rewards we have just received will be turned into a mirror, and there will even be a catastrophe. ”

The meaning of the words was revealed, he didn't expect the imperial court to send reinforcements at all, and what he could count on now was to have merit and no fault, and it would be enough to keep the official position he had just arrived.

If you flee without a fight, when the time comes, the court will punish the crime, and it will be light to the end, and it may become a pathetic scapegoat and be beheaded to show the public, so as to cover up the incompetence of the court.

"That's good"

Luo Chong pretended to be moved and said to him: "General Deng, you go back first and make all kinds of preparations with Governor Chen, but you must not be the first to evacuate before you get my exact news." Otherwise, it would be very unrighteous to leave me behind, and if you do this kind of thing, don't let me turn my face and be ruthless. ”

"Absolutely not"

Deng Hai slapped his chest and replied loudly: "I am also a military general who fought with a knife and a gun, treachery, and running away without a fight can never be done, as long as General Luo does not leave, even if I die on the battlefield, I will not frown." ”

As a military general, he is not afraid of death, let alone fighting, but if there is no chance of winning the battle, he will be instantly drowned in the wave of enemy attacks, and it will be meaningless to die. In short, if Luo Chong dares to stay, he will have the courage to charge into battle with the ironclad heavy cavalry, and at least he can kill a lot of enemies before he dies.

"Okay, then it's decided"

Luo Chong could see his sincerity and bloodiness with his true eye, so he nodded and responded: "You go back and prepare, maybe, we can create a miracle." ”

After the words fell, he turned around and got on the horse, ran more than ten meters and turned his head on the horse and smiled at Deng Hai, the smile was quite weird.

Deng Hai was stunned by that smile, and muttered in his heart: He didn't lie to me, did he? Will he not plan to fight at all, or will he lead the team to evacuate?

However, in this matter, he has no power to restrain Luo Chong, he is the commander of the North Road Township, not under the control of local officials, and it can even be said that the entire North Road people are his jurisdiction, he just fled without a fight, hid in other places, and made up a random 'to go to a ravine on the North Road to suppress bandits, just not in Dengzhou City, he, the general of the Dangkou, will not have any fault.

Xiang Yong commanded the envoy, his subordinates were all militia, there was no formal establishment, and the imperial court did not even give him food and salary, so why should he be asked to guard the country?

Therefore, although Deng Hai's official rank is one level higher, he can't ask Luo Chong to do anything, so he can only put down all his face and beg him.

In other words, Deng Hai quickly returned to Dengzhou City, and immediately reported the news that the 100,000 troops of the Western Army of Xia Dynasty Town had come to invade the border to the envoy and the Chen Governor's Mansion, and explained on behalf of Luo Chong: It is not that he did not come to receive the order, but that the military situation is critical, and General Luo led a few hundred people to meet the enemy.

This explanation was immediately accepted by the special envoy, Lord Wang, and highly praised General Luo's fearless spirit of swearing to defend the country to the death. He also promised that Governor Chen and Deng Hai would immediately return to the capital and request reinforcements for Dengzhou City......

So, the envoy Wang put down the holy decree, and he didn't have time to eat lunch, so he immediately left Dengzhou City.

What are you kidding, if you don't run, it's too late, the 100,000 Zhenxi Army is surrounded on all sides, and when the time comes, not a single bird will fly.

At the same time, Luo Chong dispatched troops in the riverside camp without hurry, and assigned a hundred heavy cavalry to each of the four Dalongs, all of whom were one person and two horses, and were equipped with clear maps taken from high altitudes.

You go here to lay an ambush, he goes there to wait, let go of the small group of scouts and vanguard troops of the Zhenxi army, don't care about anything, and wait until the enemy army has a large-scale rout, and then he can attack separately.

The task of the four squads is to kill the enemy, and they do not need to capture the enemy army, because they are not manpowered, and they can't see how many troops can be surrendered.

Of course, it was impossible to kill all the more than 40,000 people, but to encircle them on all sides and force them to surrender.

No drop?

Then Luo Chong led the brigade, then dispersed, killed some more, surrounded it again, and continued to force down.

If you don't come down, then come again

Until they have no fighting spirit and completely collapse, maybe there will be 20,000 to 30,000 troops.

With so many surrendered troops, it is impossible for similar bubbles to be transformed into biochemical warriors, so let's talk about how to deal with them when the time comes.

"Let's go our separate ways. ”

For his own biochemical warriors, Luo Chong doesn't need to shout slogans to improve morale, they are the most fearless demon slaves, this sentence is just said to the four dragons in a rather plain tone, and another sentence is instructed: "Pay attention to safety, if you die on a battlefield of this grade, you can only say that your little life is too brittle."
