Chapter 180 Boiling
The controversy has been suppressed for the time being, but the plan that has been set still has to be implemented.
No, since the candidates have been replaced, Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng also walked out of the city gate with their men and horses, and ran towards the direction of the Mongolian army formation in the distance.
As the main formation, their purpose was to attack from the front, and then create an opportunity for Duan Ling to break into the military formation, so that Duan Ling could use this to enter the opponent's military camp and burn the food.
Without food, it is naturally impossible for the army led by Zhang Qi to continue to hold on, and there is only one option to retreat.
Standing on top of the city, Zhou Yu watched the procession pass through the city gate and run into the distance, and prayed silently in his heart: "Everyone, you must return safely." ”
Thinking of what happened before, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and immediately called Zheng Qiao, but he ordered: "This time, don't rush to complete the task, be sure to keep an eye on Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng." If Wang Shixing and Mao Renfeng are in danger, they will immediately come to their aid, you know?"
Feeling that it was just a little unsafe, Zhou Yu took out a signal flare from his arms, then stuffed it into Zheng Qiao's hand, and instructed: "If something happens, you must fire this signal flare for me." When the time comes, I will naturally go out of the city to rescue, you know"
"I see"
Zheng Qiao opened his mouth to answer, but he was a little uncertain in his heart, and asked: "Zhou Yu, do you think that this operation will fail?"
"Maybe. After all, we have to be prepared for anything. Isn't it" Zhou Yu smiled, with sorrow on his face, he had fought with Zhang Jue, and knew that this person's strength was good, if Wang Shiyi and Mao Renfeng met, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out.
"Okay. I see."
After thinking for a while, Zheng Qiao immediately opened his mouth to respond.
They are not very clear about the Han annexed army, and if they are counted, the entire staff officer is all recruits who have not participated in the war, and they do not have an expectation in their hearts about how the war should be fought.
It is also natural to be prepared for these things
With the order, Zheng Qiao quickly took two staff officers, and on the pretext of seeing the danger of the battlefield, followed behind Mao Renfeng and Wang Shijian, so as to ensure that he could be close to his safety.
Duan Ling's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he inevitably looked at the movements of several people, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said very contemptuously.
"Hmph, I'll play with these little tricks. Do you think this time, I'm going to fail?"
With a clear mind, Duan Ling also left from the city gate with his own army, preparing to attack the opponent's flank.
The dust was raised, making the whole sky look gray, and the distant army became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the sky, without any life.
Standing on top of the city, Zhou Yu looked into the distance expectantly, but in the end there was no trace.
"Hopefully, you will be able to return smoothly"
After walking for about half an hour, Wang Shiyi also led the army and came to the camp of the Han Annexed Army.
Looking at the trenches in the distance, he couldn't help but scold: "These guys are also bad at learning, and they even made this thing." ”
Since the Red Phoenix Army, because it has relied on firearms to defeat the Mongols many times, its influence has already spread to the entire land of China.
Many of the tactics adopted by the Red Phoenix Army, such as concentrated artillery attacks, trench warfare and three-stage shooting, were also respected by many soldiers and promoted in their own armies.
Of course, this undoubtedly increases the difficulty of reunifying China.
Not to mention this, since you are here, you should naturally attack.
With the sound of cannons, scattered soldiers rushed towards the opponent's trenches, because of the popularity of artillery guns, the usual cavalry charge and army charge became a thing of the past.
"Those guys, as you say, are attacking. ”
Hiding in the fortress, Zhang Qi looked at the battlefield from afar, and couldn't help but sigh at the accuracy of Kong Zhen's intelligence.
It is said that the attack was launched at this time, and this kind of intelligence is also admirable.
Kong Zhen said with a smile: "That's natural, after all, in Handan City, there are not a few people who hate the Red Fengjun and admire my Han literature." Although he was full of confidence, his eyes were still full of worry when he saw those soldiers who were not afraid of death: "It's just that you are sure that you can really block the other party?"
If it weren't for his doubts, the soldiers in front of him were too brave.
I don't know what kind of medicine these people are working on, one by one is like being beaten with chicken blood, even if they are shot and fall to the ground or even lack an arm and a broken leg, they still desperately attack this side, and they are completely not afraid of death.
In just an hour, the front-line trenches were taken down.
At this pace, they are afraid that before the sun goes down, they will be attacked by the opponent to their position.
"The performance was really good, but I wasn't unprepared. ”
Zhang Jue was also nervous, but then he cheered up and said confidently.
Kong Zhen didn't know if it was true, so he had to encourage: "Okay, then I'll take a look." I hope that as you wish, you will be able to completely wipe out the opponent's main force in this battle."
"Boom"
When the two were talking, a cannonball in the distance emitted a piercing scream, and in an instant, it fell less than a hundred feet away from the two of them, and the splashed dust and sand also sprinkled the two of them all over their bodies.
Although he knew that there was a fortress to protect him, Kong Zhen was still a little scared when he saw this.
He turned his head and solemnly asked Zhang Jue: "It seems that the other party has hit here." It's just your plan, does it really work?"
"Don't worry. If there is no error in the information you provide, I will be able to solve the problem once and for all. Zhang Jue is still full of confidence, and I don't know if it's to encourage himself or his subordinates.
Just then, another herald ran in from outside.
"General Qiyu, the enemy has been spotted three miles to the east of our army, and they have launched an attack and are preparing to attack our granary. Pls what should I do?"
"The granary, it seems, is the purpose of those guys, and that's it. ”
Although he had already known about this plan, Kong Zhen still felt very worried when he heard it.
If the granary is burned, they will be completely collapsed, and even if they can completely wipe out the opponent's main force, it will be difficult to reverse this decadent trend.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jue showed a deep smile.
"Oh, it seems that the other party really came to attack the granary, in that case, what if it is to let the other party in?"
Several people present didn't understand what this meant, only Kong Zhen showed a little inquiry, and Zhang Qi also announced: "After all, your plan has long been within my expectations. ”
The east side of the Han annexed army.
Duan Ling led a group of people to lurk less than 100 meters away from the opponent's line, quietly waiting for the opponent's movement.
And with the sound of a cannon, the front in front of him began to become chaotic, and the people inside kept running, as if they were busy with something.
"It seems that Wang Shixing has already launched an attack?"
Seeing the chaos in the barracks, Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party always maintained the heavily guarded appearance before, he might not lead his subordinates to attack.
But now that the other party is in chaos, he looks like an ant on a hot pot, but it is the best opportunity.
"Everyone, follow me"
With an order, Duan Ling let out a long roar, and he had already jumped forward, directly crossing a hundred meters and joining the barracks.
In the barracks, because of his sudden move, it was also chaotic, although someone attacked with a gun in his hand, but Duan Ling only waved his hand, and the long knife on his waist fell into his hand in response, and then waved violently, everyone who rushed in. Mo was cut in half with a knife and directly from the waist and abdomen.
The dazzling blood, the wreckage that fell to the ground, and the eyes that opened and closed before they were blinded, made all the soldiers shudder and stunned to figure out their current state.
"Kill"
The soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army who followed also climbed over the trench one by one, and all rushed into the barracks.
Like Duan Ling, they also stuck their daggers in front of the guns, which were too narrow to be a good place to use guns, so at this time, the previous battles resumed here.
White-knuckle warfare, and only white-knuckle warfare, determines whether an army has combat effectiveness.
This sentence is certainly a big one, but in terms of facts, white-knuckle combat does consider how effective a soldier is, after all, white-knuckle combat is directly bloody, and it is the most ferocious, if you can adapt to this, you will naturally be accustomed to it.
Attacked by the Red Phoenix Army, the soldiers here were also crushed, except for a few who reacted quickly and surrendered in time, the rest were quickly and completely annihilated.
Seeing that this place was broken through, although Duan Ling felt a little too relaxed, he still didn't care, and ordered again: "Quickly, find the location of the grain immediately, and then burn it." ”
The soldiers dispersed to find the location of the food.
Duan Ling was not idle, but went to torture those captives.
"Tell me who your general is"
"He, his name is Zhang Qi, and he is the son of Zhang Hongfan" The captives did not dare to hide it, and replied tremblingly.
"Zhang Hongfan turned out to be this guy" Duan Ling couldn't help frowning, that Zhang Hongfan had also heard of it, he had been against the Chifeng Army since the time of the Chifeng Army's uprising, and now he was actually against his son
Hearing this news, Duan Ling couldn't help but be curious, and asked again: "Then do you know where he is?"
"He is now commanding the front line, and he has no energy to take care of us. ”
The soldier showed a little fear, the granary was lost, they had a heavy duty, if Zhang Jue knew about it, they would definitely be held accountable, and then it would be difficult to ask for death.
"Oh, that's good news. The fighting intent that rose in his heart made Duan Ling even more impatient, so he opened his mouth and ordered: "Since this is the case, then you lead the way in front." ”
"It's hard to lead the way"
The soldier looked happy, and looked at Duan Ling with admiration.
Duan Ling patted his chest and said confidently, "That's right." Since they are all here, there is no reason to return empty-handed, in this case, you might as well take advantage of this time to attack the other party. After all, the opponent is now pinned down by the main force, and the rear defense must be empty, otherwise how can I easily get it"
The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, Duan Ling couldn't suppress his impulsiveness, and said, "Everyone, be sure to burn all the food for me quickly." Later, you will go here with me and destroy Zhang Qi and Kong Zhen. ”
His soldiers were also frightened, and without carefully searching for changes inside the granary, they threw a torch directly on it.
The thatch was lit by torches, and tongues of fire spread out, swallowing the fur, the windows, the paper, and even the silk, and even the grain inside, and the whole scene was red.
Seeing this scene, Duan Ling was only happy.
"This time, let's see how you keep going"
I don't know if it was roasted by the fire, or because he was too excited, Duan Ling's face turned red, and the soldiers around him also flushed, burning the other party's food, this kind of feat was quite outstanding in the past, and it was completed in their hands.
Thinking of this, they began to reverie what kind of reward they would have when they returned.
Seeing that the crowd was vigorous, Duan Ling immediately raised his arms and shouted, but shouted loudly: "Everyone, now that the other party's granary has been burned down, then everyone will continue to fight with me, if you can defeat the other party, then everyone will be the first merit." Guys, will you continue to follow me?"
There was blood on the ground, and those corpses were also lying messily, and in the red flames, the once majestic granary could not maintain its previous appearance, and it fell to the ground with a "boom".
Faced with such a look, everyone couldn't bear it anymore and replied loudly.
"Of course I do"
The chaotic minds made these people also begin to get confused, and they completely forgot what happened in Handan City before.
When they were in a place that was enough to make anyone lose their minds, they couldn't continue to think, they only knew to follow each other's instructions, and they couldn't control the high-pitched voices in their mouths.
Either way, as long as you can win, that's enough.
For people in troubled times, survival is everything, as long as they can lead them to defeat their opponents and live along the way, they are worthy of respect.
Even if this person is greedy for money and lustful, and has a bunch of problems on his body, they don't care.
Listening to everyone's cheers, Duan Ling was also infected for a while, and became excited, he felt that his brain was hot, and he obviously wanted to think about what the problem was, but he always instinctively ignored it.
After all, the other party's granaries have been burned, so what's so scary
With such a thought, Duan Ling also replied loudly: "Very good." Then you will follow me and capture Zhang Qi alive together."
