Chapter 520: Night Battle (Make up for yesterday's arrears)
Mu Jing did think about the Yang family in Hanzhong, although he beheaded Yang Bai and formed a hatred, but compared to the life and death of a family, this hatred is not irresolvable, as long as he gives a bargaining chip.
Over the years, he has a deep impression of the word family in this era.
Scholars, squires, merchants, landlords, these are all families, in this era, the family is greater than the sky, greater than the court, greater than the country, greater than the nation, up to the three dukes, down to the peddlers and pawns, all of which cannot escape the responsibility of the family.
So even if Yang Song is so tough, he still has confidence.
Tianshi Dao itself is a behemoth, since Zhang Daoling created the Dao, based on the southwest for more than 100 years, deep-rooted, in the Daomen, the influence will be more powerful than the Taiping Dao, not only Hanzhong, the power covers the entire southwest.
In the Ranger World in the Southwest, the Heavenly Master Dao can be a standout, and half of the Southwest Ranger is from the Heavenly Master Dao.
Chivalry is forbidden by force.
If Mu Jingruo is in charge of Hanzhong, he must not let these rangers be presumptuous, they are not used, and they must be eliminated, there is no second choice, so as the Yang family, a wealthy family in the Heavenly Master Dao, it naturally has some weight.
Don't look at the Yang family's army, there are only two brothers, Yang Bai and Yang Song, but as a big family inherited from the Heavenly Master Dao, there are countless clan elders in the family, and there are endless masters, it is definitely not so easy to overthrow.
But now he is not in a hurry.
He can still distinguish which is more important, now there is nothing more important than winning this battle, the battle related to the belonging of Hanzhong County, he did his best, Zhang Lu also poured out, no one retreated.
So after he beat Janson, he threw him directly back to the prisoner camp and let him think about it for himself.
By this time the sun had set in the west.
Under the sunset, a decisive battle is coming, and on Iris Mountain, the officers and men of all departments are rectifying, preparing for the arrival of the main force of the Hanzhong army.
"Lord, the big war is coming, what should these Hanzhong army prisoners do?"
Zhang Liao and Huang Shao came together, they had already discussed the countermeasures for the big war, but it was very troublesome, the thousands of soldiers they captured, since they were prisoners, they could only have two choices, either kill them or take care of them.
It takes a lot of troops to take care of it, and now the troops are already nervous, and they are somewhat unwilling to release a division of troops.
But if you kill the prisoners, it will hurt the peace of the heavens.
Fighting on the battlefield, you die and I die, there is nothing to be done, and the pit killing is evil.
So they left this problem to the lord Mu Jing to make a decision.
"Each of you will leave five hundred soldiers with me!"
Mu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "There are a thousand soldiers, I will personally take care of these prisoners, and I will not let them ruin your deployment on the battlefield!" ”
When it comes to going to the battlefield to fight, whether he wants to or not, it won't be his turn.
But he can still do the things of guarding the captives.
In this battle, with all his might, the only thing he could do was to relieve the pressure on the main force, a thousand soldiers and horses, and guard thousands of prisoners, it was not difficult.
"Yes!"
When the two of them heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, gave up their orders, and each set aside a song, which added up to a thousand soldiers and horses.
Then the three of them began to discuss the next battle.
In every battle, a good habit of deduction will be formed between them, which is inherited by Mujing, and it is a very good style among the herdsmen, basically generals above the military marquis level have this habit.
"Report!"
A scout came galloping in.
"Come up!" Zhang Liao looked up and saw that it was the scout under his command, and let out a low snort.
"Report to the lord, report to the general, the main force of the Hanzhong Army has approached us, and the vanguard soldiers and horses are less than three miles away from Iris Mountain!"
"Keep asking!"
"No!"
After the scout left, Zhang Liao and Huang Shao discussed, and Li Yan also joined the discussion.
"Here, here, and here, we must lead the Lord, their main force is above us, we must avoid its main force, and gradually encroach on their military formation, starting from the two wings!"
Even if Zhang Liao's commanding skills are not at the full level, they are almost there, and now he is able to arrange his troops and command the battle, and Zhang Wenyuan, who is famous in history, began to explode his talent.
"Why don't you put them on Iris Mountain?" Li Yan asked in a low voice.
"The battle in Iris Mountain is over, they must already know that the surrounding scouts are fighting, you come and go, the news of their general movements can't hide from us, and our arrangement in Iris Mountain can't hide from them!"
Zhang Liao analyzed: "Once they find that they can't save the soldiers on Iris Mountain, they will naturally not attack Iris Mountain, Iris Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they don't need to spend their troops here, in their hearts, we have run out of food, as long as we hold on for a few days, it will be done!" ”
"So the general means, take the initiative to attack!" Li Yan understood at once.
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao said: "We can't give them the slightest chance to react, we have to take advantage of the night to fight back!" ”
"It's dark at night, and it may not be as we hope!"
"You have to try, just get results!" Zhang Liao smiled slightly, his smile confident.
"Labor, Sikong Yu, Fengqiu, where is Fan Xiao's troops now!"
After Zhang Liao once again deduced his own deployment in his heart, he suddenly asked.
The seven battalions of the Yellow Turban Army, Huang Shao led three battalions, two battalions attacked, and one battalion pressed the formation, as for the main force of the remaining four battalions, these four people were the four captains, Fei Li and Fan Xiao were the deputy generals, and they each ordered one road, two battalions all the way.
"According to the news uploaded back earlier, they are now in their respective positions, and they are still in this position, which is more than ten miles away from our Iris Mountain!" Huang Shao replied: "Keeping their troops is for prevention, do you want to mobilize them now?" ”
"It must be, immediately pass the force, let the effort attack in a roundabout, cooperate with our attack, we fight, they will fight!"
Zhang Liao began to deploy: "As for Fan Xiao, you asked him to push his troops to the east to defend the strength of the Hanzhong army in the east, I must be foolproof on the battlefield, if Zhang Ying's troops in the east come in, we will lose more than we lose!" ”
"Good!"
Huang Shao nodded, and quickly passed the military order with the Yellow Turban Scout.
…………
……
Night.
The weather has begun to warm up in late January, and now in early February, the snow and ice have begun to melt, but in the middle of the night in early February, it is still cold and windy, and the temperature at night is several times different from that during the day.
Between the cold wind and the bleak wind, around Iris Mountain, the silence is incomparable, and this silence, as if it is like the calm before the storm, makes many people's hearts beat uneasy.
The main force of the herdsmen is stationed in Iris Mountain, and on the plain three miles away from the northeast, the main force of the Hanzhong army is stationed, and the difference between the herdsmen and the main force of Hanzhong is only three miles, which is a distance from the confrontation, and the battle can break out at any time.
"Attack!"
Zhang Liao personally led Jingping's main force and charged ahead.
"Kill!"
Huang Shao was not far behind, and led the army to follow the charge, and the mighty momentum went straight to the main force of the Hanzhong army.
In the Hanzhong military formation.
One torch after torch flickered, Zhang Lu's face was ugly, he stared at the front, looked at Iris Mountain, looked at the faint figure, his fists clenched involuntarily, and the force on his body exploded: "Waste!" ”
He didn't expect Yang Song to be defeated so quickly, even if he had already led the main force to come, it was still too late, Yang Song's defeat wiped out his vanguard 8,000 soldiers, which made his angry face pale.
"Lord, we can't continue to attack now, although we have strong troops and herding troops, but Iris Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since it has been taken by them, we will retreat first for the time being!"
Yan Pu suggested: "As long as it drags on for a few days, after they are completely out of food, they can fight back!" ”
"That's the only way!"
Although Zhang Lu was angry, he was still a little calm.
But just as he was about to withdraw his troops, there was a wave of footsteps whistling around.
"Report to Master Shijun, the pastoral army takes the initiative to attack our army!"
The soldiers of the former battalion came to report: "The battle is already on the front!" ”
"What a gut, there is no one in the Han to deceive me!"
When Zhang Lu heard this, he was completely angry, I took half a step back, you are unforgiving, okay, then fight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy army is too much to deceive, we can't retreat!" Zhang Lu raised his sword and drank coldly: "Attack me!" ”
Yan Pu did not stop it, at this time, it was already a battle, they had an advantage in strength, and the herding army abandoned the terrain of Iris Mountain, since the fight started, then fight, if you continue to retreat, it is fear, it will make the morale of the soldiers plummet, once a rout is formed, it is really not a retreat, but a large-scale rout, forming a chain reaction, even if they are strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape death.
So at this time, Zhang Lu's reaction was right, he had to face the battle, fight hard, and it was best to defeat the main force of the herdsman.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
Under the encouragement of Zhang Lu, the officers and men of the Hanzhong Army burst out with super morale.
The soldiers of the two armies fought under the night sky, and the corpses and broken arms flew on the plain, and the blood dotted the night sky with color......
