Chapter 1174: Hunting
In fact, when the Fengyang official army just had action, the news began to be urgently reported to the Zhao Zi battalion, and the plans of the officers and soldiers were also very decent, they did not expect this foot soldier to achieve the effect of running, but let the cavalry go to entangle first, who would have thought that it would become this ending, until now, the news of the defeat of the official cavalry may not have come out. ∽ ↗ Top ∽ ↗ Point ∽ ↗ Small ∽ ↗ Said, www.
“…… Fengyang officials and troops camped in Linhuai for two days, Fengyang sent people to urge them to set off the camp, "the news that came made Zhao Jin and his subordinates cry and laugh, Fengyang, the central capital, is where the imperial mausoleum is located, because the rules of feng shui are not city walls, this Linhuai County is the closest to the central capital, and it is the local governing place, but this Linhuai County is less than ten miles away from the central capital Fengyang, and the relationship between Qingjiangpu and Shanyang, the city of Huai'an Prefecture, is the same, these officials and troops are equivalent to not dispatching.
Why hesitate and grind is very easy to understand, all the soldiers and horses in the south and north of the Jiangbei have suffered losses from the Zhao Zi battalion, and they have suffered big losses, the officers and cavalry are the elite of each department, they have courage and self-confidence, and they are fast, they can escape if they can't fight, but the foot soldiers usually have insufficient food, and most of them are helping the magnates of Fengyang, the central capital, to farm and do things, what morale does such soldiers and horses have, and how dare they advance bravely.
However, Fengyang, the central capital, urged very tightly, and no matter how reluctant he was, he had to move forward step by step, this reason Zhao Jin could figure it out, the governor Caoyun and the Fengyang garrison eunuch Cui Wensheng were Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, and he must have been deeply involved in this matter, and he was one of the presiding figures, so he naturally had to keep an eye on it.
The horse team led by Zhao Jin set off from Wujiadun in the west of Qingjiangpu, traveled west along the south bank of Hongze Lake, crossed Gaoliangjian and then to Zhoujiaqiao, and then entered the territory of Fengyang Mansion, this area is actually the junction of Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion, and it is also the only road in the south of Huai'an Mansion to enter Fengyang Mansion.
Such a large scale of the horse team really don't care too much, when the light cavalry back and forth, Xuyi County still wants to see what's going on, and when the Zhao Ziying team of horseback riders appeared, the gate of Xuyi County was closed, and the young men in the city were mobilized to the city, trembling and ready to defend the city, just watching the horse team of the Zhao Ziying pass through the city, and found that the other party did not attack the city, which was relieved.
The magistrate of Xuyi County is a little responsible, watching the cavalry of the Zhao Ziying Brigade pass, opening the city gate to send the county's capable people to ride horses to report the news, and let it out during the day, and the next day it was found that the horses carried the corpses back to the city gate, and the whole city was terrified, and they no longer dared to act.
"Jin Ye, the Fengyang official army still has twenty miles to Fushan, and they should camp there tonight."
"After the sun sets, we will walk forward for half an hour, and then get ready, and we should be able to rush directly to their camp tomorrow!" Zhao Jin opened his mouth and commanded.
In the overall young Zhao Ziying brigades, the horseback riding family is older, and the source is more complicated than the brigades, although there is no internal guard so complete with three religions and nine streams, compared with the spear and fire gun family, the horse riding family is very calm, and the resilience is also more sufficient, and the training and discipline of the Zhao Zi battalion have worn away the casualness and Jianghu spirit on their bodies, and there is only war spirit and murderous spirit left.
"Don't chat, you have to wake up early tomorrow!" Xu Yong said in a muffled voice, the whispering in the tent immediately stopped, Xu Yong coughed dryly and looked back at Zhao Jin, several of them were accompanying Zhao Jin to patrol the camp at night, I thought that everyone could go to bed earlier, but I didn't expect that anything was calm, and there were many people who couldn't sleep and chat.
Over there, Bayin walked a few steps quickly, opened the tent and scolded a few words, and the front was similar, although several brigades were very nervous, but Zhao Jin was nothing, with a relaxed smile on his face, he shook his head and said: "I thought you could sleep, I never thought that you would be the same as the young men of the brigades." ”
Seeing his attitude, everyone laughed awkwardly, and walked forward again, and Bayin said in a muffled voice: "Master, the little ones have been held back for a long time, and now they have to start fighting, and everyone is happy." ”
Bayin is from Mongolia on the grassland, with a straight temperament, but Tao Gui and Xu Yong coughed and hurriedly made their eyes, but when it was dark, the light of the lantern was not enough to make people see clearly, Zhao Jin didn't notice this, just looked at the night sky and said: "The knife doesn't need to be rusty, people don't have to be tired, it's the activity." ”
Zhao Jin's statement made everyone suddenly excited, but after Zhao Jin was silent for a while, he sighed and said: "I don't want to be so fast, but they can't help it, it's really funny, do you think you will come when you say it, and you will leave when you say it?" ”
It's hard to hear, but no one investigates it.
"Is it the New Year today?" A word came out of the tent on the side, and then Tao Gui yelled viciously and said nothing, but everyone was a little distracted, Zhao Jin said with a smile: "Is it the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Forget about this! ”
"It's a lot more fun than the New Year!" Bayin couldn't help but say something, and everyone quieted down, and they all laughed.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the family on duty began to live, the Huai River took water to boil, put the grain and grass carried into it to cook into thick porridge, and then each team of family members got up to feed the horses busy, the food and salary of the horse riding family was twice that of the ordinary family members, and the hard work was almost the same, they had to serve the mounts, feed the horses and take care of them, in addition to the exercises, there was another job.
"Bayin, you take three hundred horsemen over first, use your methods on the grassland, I don't ask you to kill the enemy, as long as you entangle that group of officers and soldiers, and when we go over to annihilate them, remember not to let any of them go!" Zhao Jin admonished.
Bayin agreed loudly, most of the hundreds of horsemen he brought were from various Mongolian tribes, and they were all grassland horse thieves and captives sent by Wang Ziyang.
The other side agreed, hundreds of horses and left the team, galloping towards the side of the floating mountain, they walked for half an hour, Zhao Jin's side was also ready, the family took care of each other and put on the armor, and then swapped the things on the horses, and added materials to the mounts, today's battle has to rush and sprint, and the horsepower must have consumed a lot.
All the preparations stopped, the brigade pulled out the camp and got on the horse, Tao Gui and Xu Yong came to Zhao Jin's side, waiting for Zhao Jin's orders, Zhao Jin said with a smile: "We can't underestimate the enemy, but this time I will also say something frivolous, let's hunt!" ”
Hearing Zhao Jin's words, Tao Gui and Xu Yong were stunned for a moment, then laughed, then clasped their fists and saluted, and turned back to their team.
The horseback riders who stayed in the camp have all been prepared, Zhao Jin got on the horse first, and all the companies and teams were also giving orders, only to hear the shouts of people, the neighing of horses, and the sonorous armor, Zhao Jin looked at the team with satisfaction, nodded to Sun Dalin beside him, Sun Dalin waved the flag in his hand, and the team began to move forward.
At this time, it is the deep winter, the road is frozen hard, and it is the first month of the Spring Festival, everyone is at home for the New Year, there are no business travelers on the road, not to mention that this Fengyang Mansion has always been a poor and remote land with few people, and only the horse team of Zhao Ziying is galloping on this official road, and the mighty is like a long dragon.
After running out for an hour, everyone dismounted, equipment and supplies have been packed, and the two horses can be replaced at any time, at this time, a light cavalry came to report urgently, saying that the three hundred light cavalry led by Bayin in front had defeated the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and now they are collecting prisoners and waiting for Zhao Jin to go over to arrange.
There was the previous news coming back, Tao Gui and Xu Yong were listening to Zhao Jin's side, after hearing this, including the guards who were busy around, there was no sense of relaxation on their faces, but they showed a look of regret and unwillingness, Zhao Jin shook his head with a smile, and waited until he got on the horse before he said to Niu Jinbao: "I always sharpen my knives, but these knives can't drink blood and I'm very anxious, I saw it today." ”
Niu Jinbao said with a smile: "What the master said is, although the little one doesn't understand much, but our three hundred elite horseback soldiers are already killing chickens and cattle knives against thousands of officers and soldiers!" ”
The team arrived at the foot of the floating mountain, the place where the battle took place was a village next to the official road on the side of the mountain, Bayin had already arranged for his subordinates to answer outside, and when Zhao Jin came to them, those officers and soldiers prisoners and the people of the village did not see a trace of blood on their faces, many people trembled all over, who would have thought that such a momentum, so many strong men in armor came, and the officers and soldiers in shabby clothes actually cried, and the crying was not because of fear, but because of happiness.
"Thanks to the drop, otherwise there wouldn't be even a whole corpse, thanks to the drop!" said it with a crying voice, which made the faces of the people around Zhao Jin full of disgust, and the Bayin who greeted him did not see much joy of victory.
This group of officers and soldiers who came out of Fengyang not only walked slowly, but also had no rules at all, and they didn't even have the consciousness of camping at night, they just wanted to rush into the village to rest.
There is no preset fortification arrangement, several generals who are in charge also drank wine and slept in a daze, everyone bakes a fire to warm up and sleep, but there is no sentry post in the distance, and when the three hundred light horsemen rush over, they immediately become a pot of porridge, and the leader of the team wants to get on the horse and escape under the escort of his own soldiers, but he was chased up and shot two dead, and immediately dismounted and knelt down to surrender, and the others were carried by the horseback family, and none of them ran away.
At this time, the villagers in the village were afraid, they could still see the strength of the thousands of official soldiers and the three hundred elite cavalry, and seeing that the other party did not mean to break the village and loot, they immediately arranged for some people to come out to ask, ready to pay some money, wine and meat for peace, not to mention anything else, the new three hundred light cavalry bows and arrows are a lot, and this village is difficult to block.
