Chapter 57: The Feng Family Army (1)
At dusk, the setting sun shone on the land, and an army was marching a few miles away from Jidou Mountain. But the whole army looked listless, including the team's commander, Panza.
In fact, when the Qi army arrived at this time, this situation could not be completely blamed on Pan Sha alone, but the problem of the entire Qi army, including Huang Hua in Hechi County.
In a whole day, since Pansha led his army to set out in the morning, he had suffered three large and small ambushes, and his own men and horses were now less than half of what they had left the city. And the two lieutenant generals Zhao Jing and Xue Gang sent out have not been heard from so far, but Pan Sha doesn't seem to care about this, because Xue Gang led 4,000 cavalry to pursue Meng Hong after all, and Zhao Jing led 2,000 light cavalry to chase down Fu Qiu, who only had a few hundred people.
Maybe the fighting between the two armies was too fierce, so there was no news for a long time. Exhausted, Pansa sat on his horse and tossed, thinking to himself.
"Report!!"
There was a sudden shout ahead, and Pansa looked up, and it turned out that it was a scout team sent out to report the situation.
Pansa slowly stretched out his right hand, signaled the team to stop, and waited for the man to come and report.
"Report! General Pan! Five miles ahead is Jidou Mountain, but it is a little difficult to pass through Ji Dou Mountain, and the weather is not early now, I am afraid that if we continue to march, we will have to pass through Ji Dou Mountain in the night! The villain thinks that for the time being, set up camp and march early tomorrow morning! The scout member rushed to Pansa and gave his hand to report.
Pan Sha nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyes to look in front of him, and asked slowly, "Is there a suitable place to camp ahead?" ”
"Back to the general! There is a large open space three miles ahead, and there is a water source nearby, which is suitable for our army to camp temporarily for one night! The scout replied, pointing sideways.
"Good!" Pansa agreed, turned to the herald beside him, and ordered: "Tell the whole army, speed up, and camp three miles ahead for a night's rest!" ”
"Yes!" The herald agreed, turned his horse's head, waved the command flag in his hand, and began to give the order.
At this time, under the leadership of Lin Feng, Xie Yan, Liang Qing and Gao Jian, the generals under the command of the Feng family's army, had already opened their positions, and only waited for the reinforcements sent by Hechi County to arrive, and then they could have a decisive battle with them.
Lin Feng didn't wear a battle armor today, and the robe he wore on his body was not that he didn't like battle armor, but it was still relatively hot and humid in this season. Lin Feng and the others had been waiting here for nearly two hours, and all of them were a little impatient.
The Qi army, which was supposed to arrive at Jidou Mountain, was ambushed three times before and after, and the main general Pan Sha learned to be smart, slowing down the march, and the scout team probed again and again in front, and only let the army pass after being 100% sure that it was safe.
"Brother Feng, is there something wrong? It is said that the Qi army should have arrived a long time ago, and if it continues like this, it will not be dark soon, and the Qi army will not necessarily pass through Jidou Mountain at night! Yuan Biao, who was beside Lin Feng, looked ahead and said slowly.
"I don't know what's going on, wait for the horse to report back! If the Qi army wants to help Liangdang as quickly as possible, it must choose to pass here! Lin Feng shook his head and replied, at this time, he was also puzzled by the late Qi Jun in his heart.
Yuan Biao nodded, and didn't say much. For these battles, the Feng Kill people led by Yuan Biao didn't care very much, because they could be said to be completely unaffiliated with the battlefield and did not belong to this war. They were only loyal to Lin Feng and the Feng Kill centered on Lin Feng. The reason why they appeared here was entirely because of Lin Feng, not because of this war.
Not long after, a man and a rider slowly appeared in the sight of Lin Feng and the others, and from a distance, they could recognize that it was a spy sent out by the Feng family's army.
When the man approached, he turned over and dismounted, and saluted Lin Feng on horseback and reported: "Master Hou, according to the observation of his subordinates, it seems that the enemy army does not plan to pass through Jidou Mountain, but chooses to camp two miles away from Ji Dou Mountain!" ”
"Where have the enemy gone?" Liang Qing, who was behind Lin Feng, hurriedly stepped forward and asked first.
"According to the time estimate, it is estimated that the camp is ready now!" The spy turned to Liang Qing and said.
At this time, Yuan Biao glanced at the spy in front of him and opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak. Originally, Yuan Biao wanted the spies to continue to investigate, but then he realized his identity, although his status in the Feng family army was relatively high, and he was also highly respected, but under normal circumstances, the people who killed Feng still didn't like to meddle, unless it was a last resort.
Lin Feng's afterglow caught a glimpse of Yuan Biao's movements on the side, and his heart suddenly understood, and he raised his head to the spy in front of him and said, "Probe and report again!" Spread the news of the enemy army to me at any time! ”
After the spies left, Liang Qing pointed to the back of the spies who disappeared on horseback and asked Lin Feng to fight: "Master Hou, the last general is willing to lead the headquarters of 2,000 men and horses, and kill him for a while while the enemy army is still in camp!" ”
"Master Hou, the last general is also willing to go!" Xie Yan and Gao Jian were not to be left behind, and they stepped forward together to ask for battle.
Lin Feng turned his head lightly and glanced at a few people, shook his head slowly, and gently spit out two words: "Not allowed!" ”
Seeing this, Liang Qing was about to speak, but Xie Yan on the side grabbed his arm and shook his head at him slightly. Liang Qing, who was stopped by Xie Yan, gave up and slowly retreated.
"Lao Yuan, what tricks do you say Qi Jun is playing? Normally, it is possible to reach Liangdang City at night with an accelerated march! Lin Feng sat upright on the horse's back, his eyes looked straight ahead, his lips squirmed slightly, and he asked softly.
Yuan Biao thought he had misheard it at first, but he reacted when he saw the corners of Lin Feng's mouth squirming slightly from the corner of his eye.
Yuan Biao frowned and pondered for a moment, and replied softly: "I don't know, maybe the enemy army is scared!" ”
"I'm scared, I'll have already returned to the river!" Lin Feng pursed his lips disdainfully and said, then reached out and touched his nose, and said to Yuan Biao in a muffled voice: "In the ambush in Yunyi Valley and Heguan Village, in fact, any place can completely encircle and annihilate the Qi army, but in that case, the loss will be too large, and there is no guarantee that some fish will run back to report the news!" ”
Lin Feng saw that Yuan Biao didn't answer, knowing that he was still waiting for his next words, so he continued to speak: "In this way, we can disperse the enemy army into multiple teams, and we can fight the weak with the strong, fight the weak with the more, and use our superior strength to destroy the enemy's combat effectiveness as much as possible." And one victory and many victories are completely different from the blow to the morale of the enemy, just imagine, the army that has failed once or the army that has lost many times, which morale will be worse! ”
"What do you mean, Brother Feng?" Hearing this, Yuan Biao seemed to understand Lin Feng's intentions, and turned his head slightly and asked tentatively, "Do you want to take this opportunity to hit the morale of the Qi army to the greatest extent?" ”
"Hmmm! Right! We are not only fighting this battle, but also facing not only the reinforcements of Hechi, but also the defenders of Hechi, the defenders of Liangdang, Huangchao of Fengzhou, and even Zhu Wen of Dengzhou, Meng Kai and Han Song of Shangzhou! Lin Feng's eyes slowly narrowed as he looked ahead, and he muttered: "The Art of War says that it is best to go to the army to attack the heart!" ”
Yuan Biao didn't speak on the side, but nodded as if he didn't understand. During this conversation, the eyes of both of them were always fixed on the front, and in the eyes of others, it seemed that nothing had happened.
