Chapter 132 Good soldiers are all played
Taolin Jinsha camp, only less than seventy miles away from Hangu Guancheng, Chen Ying led five or six thousand men and horses to kill Taolin, six beacons, and then ignited three wolf smoke. With such a big movement, doesn't Wang Ren know? Of course yes, of course Wang Ren knows, he also knows that the gold mine in Taolin is still Wang Shichong's lifeblood, but the key question is, just know that there is an egg?
Although there are more than 8,000 in his hands, nearly 8,000 of them are all scared by Chen Ying, let them defend the valley pass according to the letter, as long as the grain and grass continue, they can still grit their teeth and persevere, but once they are let out of the city, they will definitely not be a stone's throw away, and they will mutinie immediately.
In the face of Wang Xuanqiong's messenger, Wang Ren could only give Wang Xuanqiong spiritual encouragement, and silently prayed in his heart for thousands of gods and Buddhas to protect Wang Xuanqiong.
Seeing the messenger pleading bitterly, Wang Ren said: "It's not that General Ben refuses to save him, but that Chen Yingxiao'er's attack target is not the Jinsha camp at all, and his real purpose is to attack Hangu Pass." If General Ben divides his troops to rescue the Jinsha camp now, he will definitely fall for Chen Ying'er's tricks. Once Hangu Pass is lost, not to mention me, even Wang Xuanqiong can't afford it. ”
Where did the messenger know so much, he was in a daze, and asked timidly: "What about the Jinsha camp?" ”
Wang Ren said angrily: "This is not something you should worry about, you go back and tell Wang Xuanqiong, Jinsha Camp, I will naturally send people to support, they will hold on for a while, at the latest tomorrow at noon, the reinforcements will go to Jinsha Camp, if the gold mine is lost, let Wang Xuanqiong find a place to pee, drown yourself!" ”
When the messenger heard this, he smiled bitterly and bitterly.
Although the Zheng army led by Wang Xuanqiong was the elite of the old lineage of Jiangdong Wang Shishi, the comfortable life of nearly two years has made this army that once had great achievements unbearable. Among the 5,000 horses, 800 elite cavalry, most of the soldiers had fat around their waists and buttocks so big that they couldn't even fit into the saddle in less than two years.
This army usually fights back against the small thieves who want to fight the gold mines around, or the mining slaves who dare to escape, of course, it is more than enough, but in the face of Chen Ying's army like a wolf and a tiger, the end is already doomed.
……
When the 15 regiments and two teams under Chen Ying's command, plus the people who shot and transported, a total of more than 6,000 people, blocked the two exits of the Jinsha camp, one south and one north, the messenger who finally broke through the Tang army's blockade line and entered the Jinsha camp brought back the latest news from Wang Renze: "Be sure to hold out until noon tomorrow, reinforcements will arrive!" ”
After getting this news, Wang Xuanqiong suddenly felt like she was in an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold. At this time, there are still fourteen hours until tomorrow noon, let alone fourteen hours, and he is not absolutely sure of resisting Chen Ying for ten quarters of an hour.
Since Wang Ren couldn't get close, he only needed to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, while arranging soldiers for defense, another wave of messengers told Wang Shichong about the crisis of the Jinsha camp, and Wang Ren sat on the wall and watched, seeing death and not saving him.
More than 100 messengers on healthy horses took advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the Tang Army were burying a pot to make food, and seemed to be ready to attack after they had eaten and drunk enough. So dozens of messengers rode their horses and rushed to the Tang army camp that was in chaos, ready to kick the camp through.
The ideal is plump, but the reality is too skinny.
Wang Xuanqiong did not have Gan Ning under his command, and Chen Ying was not Cao Cao.
When the more than 100 cavalry rushed to the Tang army camp, the hook and sickle lancers under Chen Ying's command, under the leadership of Ashina Simo, launched a charge against the more than 100 cavalry messengers.
Only one took care of it, a hundred cavalry messenger cavalry, and one was not left all stabbed to death in front of the battle by the personal guard hook and sickle cavalry, and more than 20 of the more than 100 war horses were stabbed to death, and more than 30 horses were also seriously injured, and it seemed that there was no possibility of healing.
More than 50 corpses of war horses were skinned and disemboweled, and the horse meat was chopped into large pieces and thrown into the pot, which became the meat of the Tang Army.
When Wang Xuanqiong saw this scene, she was immediately anxious, and her face was like mourning. In fact, not only Wang Xuanqiong, but also the soldiers of the Zheng army under Wang Xuanqiong were also panicked. Whether it is Tang Jun or Chen Ying, it is a bit far away for them.
However, seeing that Chen Ying's more than 100 cavalry was facing a hundred cavalry, the battle was almost solved in one face. In particular, there was only one person in the cavalry of the Tang Army who did not fall from his horse.
One hundred to one.
They don't have to talk about such a record, and they haven't even heard of it.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xuanqiong suddenly had a plan. Now the only way to do this is to let this group of soldiers break out, otherwise there will be no chance at all.
He hurriedly came down from the watchtower, and then gathered the five Eagle Yang Lang generals and ten Eagle Strike Lang generals to the Zhongjun Festival Hall to discuss matters.
When Wang Xuanqiong's Eagle Yang Lang General and Eagle Strike Lang General entered the festival hall, they found that the desk in the hall was full of dense gold ingots, which were piled up into a hill on the desk.
The Eagle Yang Lang and the Eagle Strike Lang looked at the gold ingots on the table, subconsciously licked their lips, and their throats made a gurgling sound.
All the generals said in unison: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”
Wang Xuanqiong said: "There is a way that the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, we have five thousand taels of gold here, and it is precisely because of these five thousand taels of gold that Chen Ying, the evil wolf, everyone, what should we do now?" Is it to fight, or to give this batch of gold to Chen Ying to buy peace? ”
Wang Xuanqiong's idea is actually quite simple, that is, to use the greedy psychology of people dying for money and birds dying for food, to bewitch these generals and Chen Ying to fight hard.
It's just that Wang Xuanqiong obviously knows what it is, but doesn't know why.
After a time of silence for half a pillar of incense, the generals replied neatly: "I will obey the king's arrangement!" ”
Wang Xuanqiong was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. There was a feeling of a punch hitting the air, which made him vomit blood in frustration.
He remembered that Wang Shichong often put out gold and silver, high-ranking officials and lords, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies were like howling wolves, fearless of death to attack the enemy, and in this way, with less than 50,000 soldiers, Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, who had more than 200,000 troops, and won a decisive victory in establishing the lord of the Central Plains.
It's just that Wang Xuanqiong doesn't know that people's minds are actually very strange, and when they have the ability to defeat the enemy, even if there is only a faint chance, gamblers dare to fight. But when he knew that he was dead and had no life, he didn't dare to fight hard. Everyone knows that there is money in the bank, and there is basically no defense, but the person who really dares to go to the bank to rob the money is after all.
At this time, Wang Xuanying had no choice but to push the boat down the river and said: "Since this is the case, then let's spend money to buy a peace, and this king will give this gold to Chen Ying and beg him to let us live!" ”
The generals nodded neatly and said, "The king is wise!" ”
Wang Xuanqiong, who was difficult to ride a tiger, only needed to send the second general Zhao Jiqing to carry 5,000 taels of gold, and the envoy Chen should ask for the camp to return.
When Zhao Jiqing arrived at the Tang army camp one mile outside the Jinsha camp with more than a dozen entourages and a full carriage carrying five thousand taels of gold, he saw that the Tang army camp was having dinner, of course, today because Wang Xuanqiong gave Chen Ying more than 50 horse meats, which made Chen Ying give these horse meats to the soldiers to eat.
More than 50 war horses can be slaughtered out of about 20,000 catties of meat, almost every Tang soldier can get more than three catties of meat, although the horse meat has a very strong fishy smell, and the meat is coarse, not very delicious, but the Tang soldiers are not picky, they chew the horse meat in large gulps, talking and laughing unscrupulously.
A man in his fifties smashed his mouth and asked a man with a scar on his face, "When was the last time you had meat?" ”
Scar smiled leisurely: "It's the last life, right?" ”
The people of Datang, in fact, lived very poor at this time. Food was barely enough to eat, and eating meat was the exclusive right of the nobility and landlords.
"The year before last, or the year before last?"
"I'm better than you, I ate it once last year!"
"When was last year?"
"Last winter, the weather was very cold, I came out in Chang'an City to see if I could find some work, but I didn't expect to walk to the door of the Wugong Hou Mansion, I was hungry and fainted, the ladies of the Wugong Hou Mansion, but they are all good people, you can't give me a sheepskin, and invite me to eat meat!"
"It turned out to be last time, you had a stomach problem at that time, and it took three or four days...... Oh, that diarrhea was because I ate meat? I didn't even pull you to death for three or four days. ”
"Hmph, my life is hard, Hades won't accept it!"
Chen Ying's big tent of the Chinese army has not yet been set up, and Chen Ying is also sitting in the carriage to eat.
Seeing Chen Ying rudely drinking the broth, Ashina Simo was a little puzzled.
It is said that the soldiers are fast, and the battle can be solved with a single raid, why should Chen Ying waste time here.
Chen Ying looked at Ashina Simo, who looked like he was constipated, raised his head and smiled: "Ashina Simo, horse meat is not your appetite?" ”
Chen Ying slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "It's all to blame General Ben's dizzy head, he actually forgot that you are a Turkic, nomads regard war horses as their best partners, you don't like to eat horse meat, come here, change a meal for General Ashina, and a piece of mutton!" ”
Ashnasimo shook his head and said, "Lord, you misunderstood what I meant, it's not that I can't eat horse meat, the Tang people can eat horse meat, why can't I eat it?" I...... I'm just wondering, why did the Lord surround the Golden Sands camp and not fight? ”
Chen Ying said with a serious expression: "Good soldiers are not trained!" ”
"Didn't you practice?" Ashina Simo was slightly stunned, and he was a little puzzled.
Chen Ying smiled slightly: "Good soldiers are all fought, there are too many recruits in our army now, and the combat effectiveness is actually not as good as before, at this time, the hard bones can't be gnawed at all, only pick Wang Xuanqiong's waste dim sum to train the soldiers!" ”
At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside the carriage door: "Tell the general, there is Wang Xuanqiong's envoy Zhao Jiqing outside the tent asking to see you!" ”
