Chapter 1291: Warm Up

The sky is bright, the people in Tongling City have come out of their homes to prepare for a day's work, saying that it is a labor but just wandering around to listen to some news, these days the city head changes the banner of the king, obviously before going to bed or a thief-occupied area after waking up overnight was recovered by officers and soldiers, and the city is full of officers and soldiers, there are estimated tens of thousands of people in the streets and alleys of the city, and I heard that the outside of the city is surrounded by the thief army, and it is necessary to start fighting at any time.

Hey, it's going to be war again! The people sighed secretly, fighting and fighting, anyway, it was the common people who suffered, and for them, who was in charge and who was in charge was not as important as the harvest in the field.

However, the only thing that made them happy was that although there were many officers and soldiers in the city, there was no attack, which was very different from the past, which made the people a little uncomfortable for a while.

Chang Yu is in the city, who dares to disturb the people because of his short life, the officers and soldiers don't dare, and the thieves who surrender don't dare.

It was Wang Zamao, who was arrogant and arrogant in the past, and at this time he also had his tail between his legs, and honestly lived in a family with a few henchmen.

"General Wang, the eunuch didn't count the officials who were Xu at the beginning, how do you feel that since Wang Tizhong surrendered, we are not treated very well?" Tang Hu gritted his teeth in a low voice.

"That's it, if there is no change after this surrender, and you are still messing around under the hands of the king, then we are not at ease when we are in the righteous army" Deng Qiu shouted, Wang Zamao picked up a piece of firewood and smashed it: "Can you be quiet" and glanced around: "That eunuch won't lie to me, it's just that I have no merit at the moment, unlike the king's body, he is bigger than my official, and he has the merit of the two cities of Tongling, and it is ......normal to sit on my head."

"Oh, haven't we been talking for a long time, we should have found a chance to kill Wang Tizhong" henchman Pan Dahu gritted his teeth in a low voice and said: "Now it's really a toss to get his subordinates to listen to orders."

"Lao Tzu didn't want to kill him, but how could he have a chance at that time...... Now I have a chance, but I can't kill it, if I kill the others, the little eunuch will definitely not spare me...... Before, I descended to the yin first, and he had a grudge in his heart, and he would definitely wear small shoes for me......" Wang Zamao sighed, and Pan Dahu stomped his feet: "What's the matter, it's ...... busy."

"But it's not necessarily, at least it's not all blind work" Wang Zamao suddenly sneered: "Wang Tizhong is looking at the scenery now, but haven't you seen that the little eunuch has been guarding against him, although he is still above me, but he has no soldiers in his hands, and the six thousand brothers of our surrender are now in my hands, and he can give orders in his hands is the one hundred and eighty people......"

"What does the boss mean ......" Pan Dahu and Deng Qiu glanced at each other: "Then the eunuch used you to contain the king's body?" ”

Wang Zamao nodded with a sigh: "To be exact, they contain each other, but Lao Tzu has a great chance of being a soldier in his hand, as long as he has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, then the eunuch will not be able to shirk it, and at that time, Xu I had to give me something......"

"The general is here......" At this moment, there was a sound of talking in the courtyard, Wang Zamao and a few people hurriedly got up and walked outside, and saw Wang Tizhong walking into the courtyard alone with a calm face, glanced at Wang Zamao and others, and said: "Get ready, you will go out of the city later!" ”

"Are you going to fight?" Wang Zamao and Pan Dahu looked at each other with a little excitement, and Wang Tizhong raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be looking forward to it."

"Isn't the general looking forward to it, aren't we surrendering to Cheng just to make meritorious contributions?" Wang Zamao said with a smile, Wang Tizhong looked at him and was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, make a contribution!" As he spoke, he turned around and left: "Mention 3,000 people, and leave the city in the middle of noon!" ”

The city soon became noisy, all the departments were mobilizing soldiers and horses, although it was not a full-scale war, but Chang Yu's warm-up movement was also a big scene, so that Lu Daqi took command to supervise the battle, Xu Hongji led 2,000 officers and soldiers in Nanjing, Wang Tizhong led 3,000 troops to attack, Wu Sangui and Ma Ke each led a thousand cavalry to watch the battle and cheer!

To put it bluntly, this time it was the soldiers in the king's body who carried the beam, and everyone else came to see him perform, the special point is that Xu Hongji led his troops to participate in the war, mainly to temper the soldiers, and he and Lu Daqi originally had 3,000 soldiers, so far they could fight, only more than 1,000 plus hundreds of cavalry from their own family and Jin Shenghuan, and they just made up 2,000 to participate in the battle.

Near noon, the dark clouds disappeared and the sky cleared, Lu Daqi ordered the troops to go out of the city from the south gate, Chang Yu went to the city to watch the battle, held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the south for a long time and then slowly put it down, Bai Wang The old thief is really cunning!

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had traveled several miles out of the city, the bandit army was unmoved, and did not send troops and horses to meet the battle, obviously because they were afraid of the officers and soldiers and cavalry, so they did not leave the position, waiting for the officers and soldiers to send them to the door.

Wang Tizhong led his troops to the front, his face was expressionless, he couldn't see his joy and anger, staring directly at the position of the thief army in the distance, and sometimes looked back at Wang Zamao behind him: "The time has come to make contributions!" ”

That's right, it's now! Wang Zamao may be the most excited general to participate in the battle this time, after surrendering, he has been thinking about finding an opportunity to win a battle to turn around, and now he has finally waited.

For the eyes in the king's body, he understood it very thoroughly, and the reason why he endured it and didn't speak ill of himself after surrendering to Cheng was that he knew in his heart that he had to rely on himself if he wanted to make contributions, because the military power was in Wang Zamao's hands.

"Victory or defeat in this move, cheer up" Wang Zamao said viciously with a mouthful of foam, Pan Dahu Tang Long and Deng Qiu around him nodded vigorously, it was difficult to hide the excitement in their hearts, but they were also a little worried: "There are tens of thousands of people in Baiwang, and the little eunuch asked us to fight, is it a intention to weaken us!" ”

The voice was a little loud, and he was heard by the king in front of him and turned around and said: "Maybe I have this thought, but I also use it in a dignified and upright way, Bai Wang guards the main road between the mountains and rivers, and it is not beneficial to invest too many troops in the narrow terrain!" Saying that, he looked back and glanced at it, "In fact, there is a lot of investment, Lu Daqi's bad old man has two thousand in his hands, and there are two thousand horsemen of Wu Sangui and Ma Ke behind him, and the strength is about the same as that of thieves, not to mention that there are many homeless people under Bai Wang's hands, as long as you try your best, we have a good chance of winning this battle, if you win the battle, we will naturally not treat you badly!" ”

"I'll wait to hear the general, you let us fight how we want, and we will never hold back!" Wang Zamao and the others immediately patted their chests and shouted, looking very united and loyal!

Compared with the crowd in the king's body, Xu Hongji, who was side by side with Lu Daqi, could not hide his nervousness, looking at the distance and swallowing saliva from time to time, it is no wonder that he has been hiding in the rear since he came out of Nanjing, and today is the first time to lead troops to the front line, and there are not many troops, the important thing is that the little eunuch who is the spiritual pillar is not around, how can he not panic.

"Lu Shangshu, we have all sent troops for five or six miles, why haven't we seen any movement from the thief army?" Xu Hongji asked sideways, Lu Daqi snorted, looked into the distance, and narrowed his eyes into a line: "The thieves are not good at horse warfare, so they are digging pits and digging roads to hold the main road to lead us into the position to fight."

Xu Hongji suddenly realized that he glanced back: "Then Wu Sangui and Ma Ke's cavalry are not chicken ribs!" Lu Daqi smiled: "Why do you want them to help in the war?" ”

Xu Hongji was taken aback: "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not" Lu Daqi sighed slightly: "This is the power of the little overseer, he sent Wu Sangui and Ma Ke two thousand horsemen to help the battle, the rest of the soldiers know that the two iron cavalry is invincible, so it can invisibly boost morale, but also shock the enemy, but once the war starts, if there is a retreat from the battle, it will be killed, if we are defeated, it can help the rear, but it will not easily participate in the war!" ”

"This ...... Together, they're just here to oversee the war! Xu Hongji originally thought that Wu Sangui and Ma Ke also participated in the war, but he was even more frightened when he heard that he was coming to supervise the war.

"Be a little quiet" Lu Daqi frowned: "Don't mess up the morale of the army" Xu Hongji hurriedly stopped.

Wu Sangui and Ma Ke each led a thousand horses to press the formation behind, and the two of them were the most relaxed, riding side by side and talking and laughing from time to time, just like Lu Daqi guessed, Chang Yu secretly told the two of them to help the battle overseer, if the victory is to follow, if the victory is broken.

Both of them are veterans of the battlefield, and when they heard this, they knew that the little eunuch's dispatch of troops today was just a tentative move, and it didn't matter if they won or lost, so they were naturally relaxed in their hearts.

Bai Wang's handsome tent is set up on the eastern mountain ridge and can be viewed for several miles, last night he met with Chang Yu and forced him to pretend to be cruel, but he returned to the camp but had no sleep, because he knew what kind of situation he was facing, he was inferior to the officers and soldiers in terms of troops, and he was still not as convenient as the officers and soldiers who defended the city in terms of logistics, and the combat strength, especially the horse war, was fundamentally different, and the only advantage was the convenience of the terrain, so he had to make good use of the terrain to block the enemy from going south.

At dawn, he fell asleep in a daze, and in the blink of an eye, he was startled again, and thousands of officers and soldiers had gone out of the city five miles away! Bai Wang hurriedly got up and walked to a stone outside the tent to watch, and saw thousands of officers and soldiers rushing towards the infantry guards.

"This little gelding is an impatient" Bai Wang sneered, he just finished chatting last night and sent troops to attack today, and his anger was not small.

Wang Yien, under his command, was about to lead his troops to intercept him, but Bai Wang stopped him: "Let them come, their cavalry is useless here!" If it's just a pawn, what's there to fear! ”

In the past few days, Bai Wang has ordered the road to be dug up, dozens of deep ditches have been dug horizontally and vertically, and countless piles of rocks have been taken, not to mention that the war horse is difficult to walk, and even the foot soldiers have to move left and right.

Then Bai Wang ordered, Wang Yien and Yuan Sanzhong led part of the east and west flanks to meet the enemy, the middle road was empty, if the officers and soldiers entered, they would be outflanked left and right, if they did not enter, they had to divide their troops to deal with it, and the battlefield was narrow The west side was easy to trap people and horses, and the east side was a mountain range, and there were archers and rolling stones on the slopes of the mountains.

If you want to cross this road, stay for your life! Bai Wang stood on the boulder and looked at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer at the foot of the mountain, and the smile on his face became more and more cold!

In the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers had arrived in front of the thief army, and the distance was less than a hundred paces, and they saw that the thieves were fierce and shouting in the rocks, inside and outside the trenches, and they shouted loudly and let the horses come.

Wang Tizhong was still expressionless, and looked sideways at Wang Zamao: "Don't show mercy to your subordinates."

"What kind of joke is the general making, if I don't kill them, I will be killed by them, where will my subordinates be merciful!" Wang Zamao sneered: "The general just gives the order, and I immediately rush over to kill him a few times in and out, and capture that Bai Wang to give merit to the general!" ”

Lao Tzu believes in your evil, if you really capture Bai Wang, will you give it to me? The little eunuch had already gone to receive the merit in front of him, and he scolded secretly in the center of the king's body, but he sighed softly: "When the order is given is not what the general will say."

The person who said this was Lu Daqi, who was squinting at this time and observing the position of the thief army, his face became more and more ugly, such a narrow area is full of rocks and deep ditches, there is no other way but to fight hard, but this road is said to be nearly ten miles long, and there is a big bend, how can it be possible to hit it in one go!

"Lu Shangshu, can you give the order to attack?" Xu Hongji swallowed and asked in a low voice, Lu Daqi turned his head to look at him: "Where does Grandpa Guo want to fight from?" ”

"From the ......" Xu Hongji looked at the thief army divided into two wings, leaning on the mountain and the river on the other, he hesitated in his heart and couldn't open his mouth for a while, and Jin Shenghuan behind him said in a low voice: "It's better to have cavalry on the river than on the mountain."

"Then choose the West!" Xu Hongji roared.

Lu Daqi nodded: "Then let's fight!" ”

With a faint word, the city gradually roared, and thousands of officers and soldiers rushed into the position of the thief army with swords and began to fight, at this time it was noon, and the dark clouds that were originally scorching in the sky covered the sun, and the clouds rolled in the distance.

"Hit!" Li Muxian at the head of the city said in a low voice, and Chang Yu, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror beside him, also hummed: "Half immortal guess whether you win or lose."

Li Muxian smiled slightly: "Heavy?" ”

"Important" Chang Yu put down the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the southwest riverside: "At least winning or losing over there is very important!" ”
