Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 555 Pressure
In the camp of the Bian army, all the military officers and officers were dispatched together, and the sergeants returned to the camp one after another. They were not allowed to make noise and were strictly forbidden to move around.

In the past two consecutive attack attempts, they lost more than [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry, and more than [-] masters were killed and injured, mainly local young men in Heyang.

The loss was not great, and all the dead and wounded infantry belonged to the strong army.As a tentative attack, it is completely acceptable.

Pang Shigu was discussing with the generals how to break through Xia Bandit's seemingly tight defense system, but it turned out that this made him a little bit embarrassed.

In particular, Shao Shude also said something like "Pang Shigu rebelled". Although the rumors were blocked immediately, how could such a thing be contained?

Pang Shigu didn't believe that there were no generals or officials in the army who reported directly to Bianzhou. Most of this matter would soon reach the ears of the king of Dongping County. What would he think?
Of course, Pang Shigu didn't think that Shao thief's words could affect Dongping County King's opinion of him.If the commander-in-chief was really like that, it would be impossible to conquer the huge territory now.But for some things, it's better to take precautions. It may be fine at this time, but if something else happens in the future, the old score may be turned over, and it will be fatal.

But the one hundred thousand army is in your own hands, and you must not mobilize troops out of anger.

How to choose is really difficult.Pang Shigu fell into deep thought.

The generals have been assigned to each battalion. Apart from the soldiers and generals and the civil servants of the battalion, Pang Shigu has the highest ranks of Xiao Fu and Kang Yanxiao.

Kang Yanxiao is a descendant from Hedong, and the speed of his promotion in recent years has been a bit fast. As for the reason, everyone has his own opinion.But the more popular view is that the king of Dongping County began to slowly use the outer towns to demote officials and generals, and he was wary of the old man Yuancong.

Where is Zhu Zhen, the number one general of the Xuanwu Army?
In Xuanwu, Wangchu town of Dongping County, Zhu Zhen sorted out the old army for him, selected generals for training, and made no major mistakes.

This is no easy job.Although the Xuanwu old army was attacked by Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan and its military strength was damaged, it was still a huge force.Zhu Zhen gathered the defeated troops from the states that were defeated by Qin Zongquan. These people had no roots, no roots, and no complicated internal interest chain. The five hundred yuan brought by Dongping County King was digested, and the basic situation was there at once, and vice versa. Slowly digesting the old army is a great achievement.

At the critical moment when Qin Zongquan was besieging Bianzhou, Zhu Zhen recruited tens of thousands of soldiers from Qingzhou and returned, killing Cai thief by surprise, and made great achievements.Afterwards, Cai people were recruited and reorganized. After defeating Qin Zongquan, they vigorously rectified, all out of precious hands. For this reason, more than 50 generals were recommended to Dongping County King.

During the civil strife in Huazhou, Zhu Zhen led the army to march on a snowy night. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, they overturned the city and entered. The commander of Huazhou, An Shiru, annexed Yicheng Town before Zhu Xuan.

Attacking Weibo, winning consecutive battles, the 2000 elite Leopard Army of Weibo Yajun were killed by Zhu Zhen.

Attacking Shipu, the decisive battle of Wukang Town, which severely damaged the main force of Xu Town, was also fought by Zhu Zhen.

When attacking Zhu Xuan, he went down to Cao and Pu prefectures. Only when he attacked Yun prefecture, because the enemy surrendered, Zhu Zhen believed it credulously, so he lost a game.

With such illustrious military exploits, he is now "promoted" as the deputy envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu and no longer leads the army.

Kang Yanxiao just smiled at this, would Pang Shigu think of Zhu Zhen at this time?

He didn't want to talk, just waited and watched.

"General, Sun Tzu said, 'Generals should not be angry and go to war'. Shao's rebels provoked their troops, and they obviously had no plans." Xiao Fu suddenly said: "The land with clear rivers is very troublesome. The bandits occupy the city and the fortress. Three, they are the horns of each other, helping each other, and attacking is not easy."

Pang Shigu remained silent.

"Have the generals forgotten the battle of Pengcheng?" Seeing that Pang Shigu was silent, Xiao Fu was a little impatient, and immediately used the example of the battle of Xuzhou that Pang Shigu had just won: "The generals led the army to attack Xuzhou, and they also pulled out the city first." The Shifo Mountain Village outside made Xu Bing dare not go out of the city, and Shi Pu was finally destroyed. Now that the outer village is not peaceful, how can we besiege the city?"

Kang Yanxiao glanced at Xiao Fu in surprise.

There are rumors in Bianzhou City that Xiao Fu is connected with Xiao Yun and Xiao Yun brothers, and they are secretly attached to build virtue.The king of Dongping didn't believe it, but Kang Yanxiao was skeptical.Now it seems that Xiao Fu is really loyal to the King of Dongping County, those are just jealous and slanderous words.

"Actually, why doesn't the king of Dongping County know how to fight? With He Qing's appearance, it's a normal way of fighting if someone else comes here." After a long time, Pang Shigu finally spoke. His face was expressionless and his voice was still loud. He said: "Shao's thief provoked me today, how can I do what he wants? However, the morale of the army must not be lowered. After a while, an order will be sent to the battalions to distribute wine and meat to boost morale. Tomorrow, they will directly attack the northwest camp of the bandit army."

"General, what if Heqing County goes out of the city to rescue?" Xiao Fu felt bad when he heard it.

Pang Shigu said that he couldn't be fooled by the Shao thief, but he was distributing wine and meat, and sending large soldiers to attack the camp, obviously he was right.

"Of course I can't let Xia thief get what he wants." Pang Shigu said confidently: "I have my own plan."

Xiao Fu wanted to say something, but when things came to an end, he sighed heavily.

Pang Du will also be difficult!
Today's matter, if the commander-in-chief was in the camp, he would probably not care about it and just laugh it off.The face of the king of Dongping County—uh, the king of Dongping County is not easy to get angry, and the face of Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face. Any provocation or slander is useless.

But Pang Shigu didn't dare to think so.

As the saying goes, the master worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master humiliates his ministers to death.Shao Shude is so arrogant, and Pang Shigu is extremely loyal, if he doesn't show it, there will be ghosts.

Tomorrow, there will definitely be a big battle.

"One more thing." Pang Shigu suddenly said: "I want to send a letter to Bianzhou, detailing He Qing's deployment of the enemy in front of him, you two might as well sign together."

"This..." Kang Yanxiao hesitated.

"No problem." Xiao Fu replied generously.

Pang Shigu glanced at Kang Yanxiao, Kang Yanxiao's scalp went numb, and immediately said: "You should obey your fate."

Bian Jun's side is gloomy, but Xia Jun's side is elated.

Shao Shude ordered people to slap the flag, and wherever they went, the soldiers cheered enthusiastically.

It is not so easy to be a general of the country.

The low-level sergeants have a strong spirit of resistance and rebellion at every turn. On the other hand, there are certain requirements for the bravery of the commander.

To have the heart of a warrior, you must first be a warrior.

Several weapons commonly used by warriors, such as infantry bows, long spears/rifles, epee/swords, etc., you'd better know all of them, and play them decently.On this basis, if there is another unique skill, it would be great, and it will win the hearts of warriors even more.

Li Ke's melee fighting skills are very high, and all kinds of weapons are used decently. In his early years, he often led his troops to charge and kill.But his level of archery is even more top-notch. After running northward to Tatar, he hangs a horsewhip on a willow branch and shoots from a distance without exception.At that time, the Tatar chief took Helian Duo as a bribe and wanted to kill him, but he became fond of talents and couldn't bear to do harm, so he finally let them go.

Li Keyong's adoptive sons are also such fierce generals, Li Cunxiao, Li Siyuan, etc., are extremely brave, which makes the soldiers very convinced, and often bursts out with strong fighting power.

In this case, it’s okay to be treated worse than others, because the big soldiers are convinced by your bravery and have visions for the future. If you have a stronger personality, you can “paint cakes” and really be able to firmly fool you Many people live there.

Shao Dashuai was a team leader in the Tiande Army in his early years, and started out with archery skills, but the Mo Dao on his back also made the tigers look like tigers, killing people is no problem.

Today on the battlefield, he revealed the archery skills he had become famous for many years ago. After the news was sent back, everyone respected him.Some people even told vividly how the commander-in-chief ridiculed Zhu Quanzhong. Everyone who heard it laughed, and their morale improved a lot unconsciously.

"The commander-in-chief boosted the prestige of our army today, but I implore the commander-in-chief not to take any risks in the future." In Heqing County, Gao Renhou brought a group of generals to visit him.

"Marquis Zhuge Wu was cautious all his life, but he also went on a dangerous northern expedition." Sitting behind the table, Shao Shude said with a smile: "Forget it, I will give the opportunity to make meritorious service to my sons in the future."

Gao Renhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Liang, who rushed out from the northwest camp to "rescue him", also breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Shude encouraged Yang Liang, and finally said: "General Yang, hurry back to the camp, the Bian army will probably retaliate, and a big battle will start."

"Of order." Yang Liang replied.

"Tomorrow, I will be in Heqing County to see how the Bian Army is organized." Shao Shude entered the Taoism at the female crown of the Jinxian Temple last night, and today he is shooting again. A battlefield galloped out.

……

On the second day, without any accident, several trench bridges were put down in the camp of the Bian army, and they rode out of the camp to line up.

They move quickly.

The cavalry scattered in all directions, hundreds of cavalry, distributed on the four corners, and in the middle was a large infantry formation of 4000 people.

After the formation slowly reached the north side of Heqing County, it split into two.One part faces the direction of Heqing County on the south side, and the other part faces the direction of Baiyacang on the west side.

And near the northwest camp farther away, there are a large number of horses and chariots marching. Judging from their shape, they turned out to be grain transport vehicles.The car is full of layers of sacks, but there should be no food in it, could it be sand?

Inside the grain cart was a brigade of sergeants holding rifles and rifles, and there were rangers on both sides scattered far away.

After the grain carts reached the ground, they circled the carts, and the master who followed immediately started digging trenches with picks and shovels.

Shao Shude and Gao Renhou faced each other on Dengpi.

"The Bian thief wants to attack General Yang's camp." Gao Renhou said after looking carefully.

"Could the winch crossbow hit the bandits?" Shao Shude looked at the distance and asked.

He was obviously referring to the infantry of the Bian Army who lined up in the north of Heqing County.

"Not enough." Gao Ren said kindly: "Test shooting before the war, not enough. The Bian bandits are also experienced in military affairs, and they will not give our army such an opportunity."

After saying this, Gao Renhou bowed and saluted, "Marshal, we are going to mobilize troops and horses to leave the city at the end."

"Since General Gao is recruiting envoys, he can decide with a single word. I'll just watch over here." Shao Shude said.

Gao Renhou saluted again and went downstairs to make arrangements.

Soon, the gates of the city were opened wide, the suspension bridge was lowered, and two hundred horsemen rushed out.

If Shao Shude has a clear understanding.

In the Battle of Baixiang, the Jin and Liang armies confronted each other. The Jin army had no confidence. Zhou Dewei's judgment was that once the Liang army built the pontoon bridge and the [-]-odd army crossed the river, the Jin army would be invincible and would be wiped out.

So he seized Liang Jun's arrogance and eagerness to fight, and led him to the vicinity of Yanyi, where the Jin army stationed here immediately left the city.

[-] Jin troops, [-] Chengde troops, and [-] Yiwu troops lined up in the wilderness, as did [-] Liang troops, [-] Wei Bo troops, and [-] feudal town soldiers.

Liang Jun came from afar, but Jin Jun waited for work with ease.Li Cunxu wanted to attack, but felt that he was not sure of winning. Zhou Dewei advised him to wait.

In the evening, Liang Jun hadn't eaten all day, and he was exhausted, so he wanted to retire.The Jin army took advantage of the situation to attack and won a big victory.

Gao Renhou didn't know about the Battle of Baixiang, but he understood the truth.

Seeing that after he sent two hundred Fanqi out, he surrounded the Bian army to harass him.The Bian army sent out cavalry to drive them away, and the fan cavalry retreated, but they came back soon.

An hour later, the thousand cavalry soldiers of the Tiande Army were also sent out.

Shao Shude asked someone to move the chair, made tea, and watched the city quietly.

　Back to Shanghai today, the road is too congested, and I have to do a nucleic acid test when I get there. Chapter 2 should be in the afternoon.
