Chapter 179 The Knight's Walk (9)
"Woo woo woo~ woo~~~..."
In the afternoon, at the junction of Bohai County and Pingyuan County, on the plain north of Douzigang, in the early autumn wind, there was a short and then long horn sound, but it was mixed with the autumn wind, and then submerged in the turmoil and Shouting.
It turned out that the two gangs under Zhang Jincheng's command were hastily trying to cross a small river no more than one foot wide, trying to keep up with the large army on the other side of the river.
But soon, the rumbling of horseshoes easily shook the ground, and brought the original commotion and shouting to a halt.But it was just a trace of stagnation, followed by commotion and shouting on a larger scale, hasty escape and panic to meet the enemy.
"It's Cheng Dalang!"
Someone cried out in public. "Cheng Dalang's cavalry is here!"
"Where are the spears? Where are the spears? Didn't the two leaders prepare the pikemen? Why didn't they stand up...Why are the pikemen at the front? Come this way!"
"Where's our cavalry? Didn't we say that there are also two cavalry? Why don't you come to rescue them?"
"Where are all the good men who practice? Don't you mean hundreds of good men who practice?"
"Zhang Laizi is not real. He came over this morning and said in person that if Cheng Dalang came over, he would turn around and save us!"
However, the pikemen did not push forward, their own cavalry did not appear, and the practitioners did not appear, and the friendly army did not appear for the time being... Under the chaos and panic, Cheng Dalang's cavalry had not actually bumped into it, and the bandit army in front of them He turned around in a panic, and caused the two groups of soldiers and horses behind him to separate and flee on their own.
Immediately, hundreds of cavalry with the banner of Cheng character easily maintained their impact speed in the fields and official roads. The armored cavalry was in front and the Qing cavalry was behind, chasing and dividing the two groups of bandits.
On the bare plains and fields, the tragic killings and bloody trampling, as well as helpless screams and complete chaos formed a sharp contrast.
This scene has been staged two or three times in a row today, and twice yesterday, each time when a small number of bandit troops were separated from the main force by a river ditch... and although each time faced The scenes are different, but in the end, Cheng Dalang's [-] cavalry easily completed the tactical tasks-assault, separation, killing, and driving.
In the end, the isolated bandit army was forced to abandon the rendezvous with the main force, turned around and drilled into the fields to the west, and then scattered into the sorghum fields that were actually not many, or hid in the small river ditches for irrigation.
In fact, even a small number of sorghum fields as high as one person, or small river ditches as deep as two people, cannot hide people from cavalry with high vision and high mobility, but these cavalry are not obsessed with killing. If you take the initiative to escape from the main force and disperse, you will immediately get a chance to escape.
For two days in a row, only Cheng Dalang came five times, and the infantry also attacked three times at the edge of Douzigang, plus the two vanguard cavalry that suddenly disappeared at the beginning. Zhang Jincheng, the commander in chief of the army, has already realized something.
It was precisely because of this that when Cheng Dalang was about to complete his assault with ease, he encountered an unexpected enemy.
A group of more than a thousand people, with a very high armor rate and exceptionally capable soldiers, suddenly came against the trend and hurried towards Xiaohegou, obviously trying to rescue them.
Of course, this core force, which naturally ranks among Zhang Jincheng's confidantes, came too late. The two thousands of men hanging on the side of the river had already been dispersed and fled, and this army of soldiers was also forced to flee. They stopped at the other side of the small river ditch where the pontoon bridge was still erected—it seemed unwise to try to cross the river in front of a cavalry that had already begun to regroup when the friendly troops on the other side had dispersed.
However, the core force, which had obviously been ordered, was unwilling to retreat.
"Where is Cheng Dalang? Hejian Zhang Botao is here. How dare you single out?!"
Just when Cheng Zhili was about to turn around and lead his troops to leave, Yiqi suddenly leaped over from the opposite bank. The horse was so handsome that it leaped over the small river, and then landed calmly with a neigh. The man on the horseback was also tall and fully dressed , a pair of bright armor shining in the afternoon sun, but brandishing a long spear, calling for battle.
"It's Zhang Laizi Zhang Xiaoyi."
A Duo Dangjia next to Cheng Zhili will immediately come forward and report in a low voice. "When I was doing reconnaissance before, I knew that this guy was Zhang Jincheng's confidant and led one of the three soldiers of the Chinese army...and there should be two hundred crossbowmen in this soldier, and Zhang Manzi is also strange. A master who has mastered the four meridians!"
The general was just introducing the situation, but the meaning at the moment is self-evident - there are two hundred crossbowmen, which means that as long as the crossbows are mounted, they can cross the river calmly, and Zhang Laizi should just rely on his own cultivation to delay.
In other words, there is no need to entangle at this time, just go as you should.
"good."
Cheng Zhili, who was fully armored, grinned. "It's the right time to leave at this time... But Zhang Laizi is an old friend after all, it would be impolite not to say hello... That horse should also be a dragon colt, it's a pity for Zhang Laizi... Besides, he can't set up a crossbow array Is it a stick of incense kung fu?"
The surrounding generals and confidantes, the horse lance and armor rider, were all used to Cheng Dalang, and they immediately understood, but they all kept silent, just holding the reins and the long lance tightly.
At the next moment, Cheng Zhili laughed loudly, raised his long spear and responded, "Is it Zhang Laizi? Wait for me to kill you!"
Zhang Botao was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he wanted to answer.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Dalang finished speaking, he came here on horseback.
Not only that, dozens of elite armored cavalry beside him also followed up, at least half of them exhaled their true energy, but they were guarding their own general who was also shining white, and went straight to the lonely man carrying the river and screaming. Zhang Xiaoyi left.
Zhang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then realized what was going on, but Cheng Zhili, who didn't talk about martial arts, led the crowd to kill him.
But he wanted to rein in his horse and was about to run away with the dragon colt under his crotch, but unexpectedly, white light on Cheng Zhili's body suddenly bloomed like a jade plate, and Duanjiang's true energy was attached to the long lance, which also made the lance grow almost ten feet out of thin air. Then he saw a ten-foot-long light slashing towards his face.
At this moment, Zhang Laizi, Zhang Botao, or Zhang Xiaoyi had already given up the idea of running away, instead there was only one thought that flashed in succession—this Cheng Dalang is about to condense his pill!But since they are all at this level of cultivation, why don't they single out and kill themselves in a grand manner, instead leading their own soldiers to bully the few with more?
Is he shameless? !
The long lance turned over, and Zhang Xiaoyi, who was sitting on the horse, was cut off directly from the chest and abdomen. For a while, his clothes and armor were even to the bone and flesh, and then blood gushed out like a spring, and the upper body that fell off the horse was still thinking.
It can only be said that Duanjiang Zhenqi is worthy of the orthodox lineage of Lord Baidi.
Don't gossip, Cheng Dalang succeeded in one blow, he didn't pay attention to the almost frightened soldiers on the other side of the river. .
Immediately, the [-] cavalry cheered and headed south along the flat terrain, but before evening, they entered the range of Douzi Hill and gathered the large troops in the hill.
Then on a small stone hillock, I saw Zhang San, Li Sier, and generals Niu Da, Guo Jingke, Cheng Mingqi, Fang Yanshi, and Zhou Xingfan.
"Cheng Dalang is back in victory, congratulations!"
Niu Da took the lead in handing over his hands. They were of similar backgrounds and were fellow villagers, so they naturally wanted to show their closeness.
"It's these people who can't help but fight! I thought it was a hero, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!"
Cheng Zhili yelled loudly, and immediately took off his armor at the foot of the post, not to mention sweating for a while, and even revealed most of his white tendons, as if he was a hero.
"You don't know, these thieves don't know anything! When I attacked the rear guard for the first time yesterday and burned their camp and supplies, I actually found more than a hundred crossbows in the car... I thought at the time, what if They used carts to back the river and set up crossbows, what can I do?! The result is that they don’t even know how to get the crossbows, let alone train formations! The second time I went to fight, many spears were scattered in the Wei army. , and they are all set up, I thought I met someone who knows how to do it, but they just went around to the other side, and they were in chaos! Today, these soldiers and horses can only trample on each other, even the spears and crossbows Not standing up a few..."
Zhang Xing and Li Ding could hear clearly on the post, but they could only talk to each other in the sobbing autumn wind.
After a long while, Li Ding elbowed the person beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you going down to comfort and praise me? Be your Dongdu call Baoyi?"
"It's not that I didn't do it yesterday." Zhang Xing pouted. "Besides, this kind of human spirit, it's ridiculous to make that kind of method again and again... There are clear rewards and punishments, just keep your word."
"But everyone is like this, you should cooperate a little or two, and you should do it for the few people around you." Li Ding couldn't urge him in time.
After Zhang Xinglue thought about it, he also nodded, but before turning around, he asked in a low voice: "The battle is like this, do we need to change our strategy?"
Li Ding just nodded.
"No matter what military strategy will be, you must respectfully ask me for instructions before making the final decision." After speaking in a low voice, Zhang Sanlang walked down with his hands behind his back.
Li Silang was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he sighed again and shook his head.
"Cheng Dalang played beautifully." Zhang Xing came down from Shitou Hill, although he was condescending, he also smiled and Yan Yan.
The sweat on Cheng Dalang's body was about to be blown dry, he just waited for this scene, then got up immediately, and bowed down shirtless, and in turn exchanged one, two, three, four in business.
This scene has already been performed once yesterday, and it is not too annoying today.
Unexpectedly, Zhang walked extremely slowly, and instead asked out of momentum, "Cheng Dalang, do you know what we were talking about before you came?"
Cheng Dalang was slightly taken aback, knowing that the other party had changed the scene, he quickly stood up in awe: "I don't know why..."
"We're talking about Zhang Jincheng." Zhang Xing glanced at Guo Jingke and spoke seriously. "Boss Xiao Guo and Zhang Jincheng are considered old friends. Needless to say, this meritorious service is all due to him luring Zhang Jincheng into the trap and destroying the opponent's cavalry..."
"Chief Xiaoguo is the first meritorious service." Cheng Dalang waved his hands without hesitation.
And Guo Jingke also hurriedly returned the gift... He naturally knew, not to mention that Zhang Sanlang was the leader, and Li Silang above was the leader of the army. He only said that this Cheng Dalang was also one of the unmistakable big leaders, who had always been on the same level as Xu Dalang and the others. Yes, this battle is even more majestic, from status to fame to strength, it is obviously a level higher than his own... How dare he take the big?
As for the first achievement... To put it bluntly, your eight hundred cavalry raided five or six times, and one family is worth as much as other families, and the sum is doubled. Who dares to compete with you?
Besides, Guo Jingke himself had something on his mind - he was half-hearted before, but after this day and a half of fighting, Zhang Jincheng's skin had already been torn off, so that he also felt very guilty.
"According to Leader Guo's words." Zhang Xing finally walked down, but he was quite emotional. "That Jin Scale was a serious hero in the past, no matter how you look at it, he is a person. Once he gained power, his reputation spread in Hebei and the East. It is estimated that Dongdu and Jiangdu are also famous... but I don't know why. , In these two days, you, Cheng Dalang, attacked five times, Cheng Qilang (Cheng Mingqi) attacked once, Fang 29 Lang (Fang Yanshi) attacked once, and Niutouling also attacked once with a symbolic surrender. Once, everyone said that this person is nothing more than that... Cheng Dalang, why do you think so?"
"I think, rather than saying that Zhang Jincheng is nothing more than that, it's better to say that the characters here are all real heroes!" Cheng Zhili smiled, and immediately spoke out. "Master Zhang, your situation is like playing Hebei in the east as a chessboard, turning your hands into clouds and rain; Fourth Master Li's military strategy is also powerful, leading a group of civilians, but after a few months in Putai, you can Such a strong army was created, and it was dozens of miles away from Putai to ambush and raid, and set up camps and military stations in Douzigang along the way without any loss. It is really a character that has never been seen in my life; Some abilities, but I can only say that I didn't lose the face of the two of you."
Zhang Xing also laughed, and shook his head again.
Cheng Zhili immediately became solemn.
"Actually, I thought about it. The reason why this golden scale is 'not so much' is probably because it's worse than 'not so much'." As he said, Zhang Xing patted the other party's Guangjie shoulder directly with his cold hand.
Cheng Zhili was startled suddenly, but his muscles tensed, he didn't show his true energy, but asked seriously, "What's the meaning of the third master?"
"Nothing else."
Zhang Xing retracted his hand and said with emotion.
"I'm just thinking, according to the information, when Zhang Jincheng was forced to rebel against the Great Wei, gathered dozens of troops and hundreds of civilians, and was forced to fight the local government and rob the official food, what would happen to him?" Not afraid?
"Then, he first fought with Cao Shancheng, the magistrate of his own county, that is, Qi County. As a result, the two sides fought more than a dozen battles for a month, and they couldn't win each other. At that time, would you feel depressed again?
"As a result, they were suddenly forced to go to other counties to seek food. Recruiting soldiers was like drinking water, picking up weapons everywhere, and fighting wars was like destroying the dead. More than a dozen counties, how many decent officers and troops, how many local heroes, and how many famous families can only be found here. He was completely defeated in front of him. At that time, would he think... So only I, Zhang Jincheng and Cao Shancheng are the heroes of the world, and the others are "just like that"?
"It can be seen that the heroes in this world are probably all bad because of 'nothing more than that'!"
"Master Zhang is absolutely right!" Cheng Dalang came to his senses and saluted seriously again. "No matter what, we shouldn't underestimate the enemy because of the war, especially when our career has just started... Mr. Zhang is right to teach you a lesson."
Cheng Dalang's words are sincere, because his temperament really pays attention to caution, it's just that he has been comfortable in the battle these two days, so he is presumptuous... Even the others have also come to their senses.
"Master Zhang doesn't just mean that."
At this moment, Li Ding suddenly came down from the stone hillock.
"In fact, there are too many reasons for the war... The right time, the right place, and the right people, all aspects... Today, it seems that Zhang Jincheng expanded his army too quickly, and he has no experience in running an army. In addition, he killed people indiscriminately and broke people's hearts. So we were easily restrained. To put it bluntly, if you give someone two years, fight too many battles, and practice a little bit, whoever loses may be the one who loses! It is to let him throw away the surrounding soldiers and horses, and only take With thousands of people in the headquarters, it may not be so easy!"
At this point, Li Dingli stood in front of several people, and boldly made a conclusion: "This is because Zhang Jincheng has lost his eyes, and we have made sufficient preparations... and based on the success or failure of the first battle, we judged the success of a general and an army without authorization." Good or bad, it's ridiculous!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
"Did you hear that?" Zhang Xing said suddenly, pointing at Li Ding. "This is the theory of famous generals!"
Everyone nodded quickly.
"Okay." Li Ding blushed and gave a dry cough. "The success or failure of a battle is to determine the quality of a general and an army. It is naturally ridiculous, but soldiers are the most dangerous thing. In addition to the success or failure of a battle, if they can go on to overthrow the army and kill the general, at least they can kill the enemy. Crucified in one place, there is no need to talk about it... As for the battle at this time, we have to change our strategy instead, and take advantage of Zhang Jincheng's unawareness of his situation, and immediately decide the winner!"
All the generals were in awe.
"Can we decide the outcome tonight?" Zhang Xing frowned slightly. "The eighty-nine battles before and after, but reduced his number by 8000 to [-], less than [-]% of his troops."
"Yes." Li Ding answered seriously. "Although only one or two percent of the army is missing, the army is already impetuous and the command is not clear... And at this point in the battle, his biggest disadvantage has actually been revealed, that is, the army is too bloated, and the elite cannot be stretched among them."
"But we only have [-] infantry, and the cavalry are tired during the day." Niu Da cautiously interjected, causing Cheng Zhili to nod his head. "They still have [-] people."
"There is no need to fight hard." Li Ding said with narrowed eyes. "I've been observing the wind direction, wind strength, cold and heat, dryness and wetness for half a day...you can attack with fire tonight...otherwise, we won't be talking about a decisive battle so easily."
Below Zhang Xing, all the generals were startled, they thought they were going to lay an ambush on all sides, but they didn't expect this to happen.
It can only be said that it really is still the way to use soldiers, with one mind.
But then, the more serious Xiao Zhou still asked seriously: "Fourth Brother Li, the crops in the field are only a shallow layer, at most one layer of fire, how can they burn up powerfully and cause damage?"
Li Ding shook his head in response: "I didn't expect fire to burn people to death. Fire is used to cause chaos. In essence, our strategy of ambush from all sides has worked. The opponent's army has lost their morale, so we can start a decisive battle ahead of time."
"Li Shuijun means..." Cheng Dalang hesitated. "The thieves are unprepared and exhausted. Let's send spies and set fires everywhere inside their camp?"
"No need." Li Ding still shook his head. "I observed the situation before I came out of Putai, and I thought that I might use this trick, so I asked Fang Xianwei to prepare under the post during the day, and let him do the fire inside the camp. Rui, when the time comes, bring a torch with you, and set fire to the outside when you attack at night."
Fang Yanshi's face was calm, and he bowed his hands in all directions: "My Shui Lord has already made arrangements, everyone, don't worry."
Everyone looked at this person one after another, but they could only keep their mouths shut, but they focused their eyes on Zhang Xing.
Following everyone's gaze, Li Ding suddenly came to his senses, but hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "This is my strategy, I don't know if Mr. Zhang agrees with you or not...you are the one who decides everything..."
Several people looked strange.
Zhang Xing thought for a while, and immediately asked the others: "Do you have any opinions?"
No one dared to say anything, except Guo Jingke's lips moved obviously.
"Leader Xiaoguo, please speak." Zhang Xing pointed at it.
Guo Jingke bowed his head and said: "I don't know how to fight, and I dare not participate in the military, but I don't know how much Li... Li Shuijun burns... crops...how much?"
"How much do you want to burn?" Zhang Xing asked Li Ding seriously. "Can the crops that have become ears be burned? Are you afraid that you will hurt Tianhe and blame the three hui and four imperial princes?"
"It's hard to say..." Li Ding was silent for a moment before speaking. "The way I started the fire was a bit out of control...but the area in front of the post is densely covered with river networks, so the fire won't spread too much. What's more, if Zhang Jincheng is wiped out earlier, more food will be saved. Compared with this, this The loss of some crops is not worth mentioning... Come to think of it, the three brilliance and the four masters will not blame it."
Zhang Xing was also silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Ding wanted to say something more, but remembered what he said before, and just waited silently.
At this time, the others just stared at each other with big eyes, all of them bowed their heads in silence.
After a long while, Zhang Xingfang nodded his head: "When the war started, I don't know how many lives were lost. At this moment, it seems that I don't know how to settle accounts... Let's make it so, this battle can be over, just tonight."
Only then did Li Ding feel relieved, but immediately he felt strange... because he seemed to be really a little afraid of Zhang Xing just now, for fear that the other party would say no and accuse him of only caring about military affairs and not talking about politics.
And Cheng Dalang watched this scene, and finally nodded in his heart.
"How to say?"
About an hour had passed since the military meeting inside Douzigang. Under two moons, on the great plain about ten miles in front of Douzigang, Chief Zhang Jincheng was also trying to end the military meeting. "Is it these two? One is to go north, farther away from Douzigang, and the cavalry has no basis, so they can't come so fast; the other is to go south, directly into Douzigang, and find the other camp?"
The leaders below just lowered their brows and made no response.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have counted on you..." Seeing this, Zhang Jincheng suddenly took a deep breath. "But I have to be honest, the matter is nothing more than this, and you have no other way... This is good, let's bump into the Douzi Hill tomorrow, and if we can find the other camp, we will fight hand-to-hand in the hill , of course it’s good; but if you run into an empty space or are stopped by someone, you can simply withdraw immediately, go north, and go around Douzigang!”
Many leaders below heaved a sigh of relief and praised.
And Zhang Jincheng also waved his hand on the huge square couch, telling all the leaders to leave.
However, after the leaders dispersed, Zhang Jincheng asked his own soldiers to call back four or five trusted leaders in private.
"Big Chief!"
Several trusted leaders knew Zhang Jincheng had orders, so they simply bowed their hands and bowed down under the leader's leadership. "Please tell the chief, we will definitely not leak the news."
"This battle can't be fought."
Reflecting on the bonfire not far away, Zhang Jincheng made a completely different judgment with a dark face. "Now that I think about it, we might have fallen for the trick from the very beginning, otherwise the boy Guo who led me to attack Putai that day wouldn't have run away on the way, and Cheng Dalang had already voted for the army...but the last thing I want to do now What is scary is that this matter is caused by Cao Shancheng. Although he is only a county magistrate, he has real skills. Putai is also an officer and has skills...Gaotang is our old nest, but now it is too empty .”
"Then we..."
"Tomorrow morning." Zhang Jincheng gritted his teeth. "Wang Er, you lead the headquarters to attack the Douzigang. Don't care about the lives of the soldiers. I will make up for you if you don't have many people. You must bring those leaders in, as long as you escape back... The rest of you, pack up your things early tomorrow morning, and pretend to go back from the north with me, but in fact just leave them and go back to Gaotang from the north! There are not many decent people who are easily bought by the officers and soldiers. Besides, without these people, we will not be short of food."
Only then did the leaders wake up, and immediately left in response.
As soon as he left, Zhang Jincheng sat alone on the huge square couch, and never said a word.
After a long time, he deliberately called for someone to dismantle the square couch under him, and directly set up a bonfire, but was blown by the warm autumn wind instead, gradually became sleepy, and finally fell asleep on the couch alone.
"Li Shuijun."
I don't know how long it took, Fang Yanshi walked over on a sloping edge of Douzigang, interrupting Li Ding's meditation alone, who was looking at the shelter more than ten miles away under the double moon. The huge and chaotic camp that can't be covered is in a daze.
"Are you ready?" Li Ding came back to his senses and asked seriously.
"It's all ready." Fang Yanshi replied cautiously. "They're all lined up, too."
"Then watch the timing yourself, and do it within a quarter of an hour." Li Ding, with his hands behind his back, ordered simply.
Fang Yanshi nodded, but did not leave.
"Anything to say?" Li Ding suddenly realized, and turned around to ask.
"Yes." Fang Yanshi answered seriously. "Li Shuijun really wants to go back to the Eastern Capital?"
Li Ding was silent.
"Actually, I have a cousin who participated in Yang Shen's troubles before, and even said that he met Li Shuijun... Li Shu also kept writing to him before..."
"What do you want to say?" Li Ding urged for a while. "Don't miss the battle."
"I think so." Fang Yanshi bowed his head sincerely. "With Li Shuijun's background, talent, and our current good situation, as well as the materials in Putai, plus the hearts of Hebei people, and our Fang family's dedication to help, Shuijun can definitely stay and do a great job. Career, and you don’t have to be controlled by others... No matter how bad it is, if you want to join the Dragon Gang, you can completely form your own system! You don’t have to be so wronged like today, being controlled by an assassin!"
"I can only appreciate your kindness." Hearing this, Li Ding finally smiled. "But Fang 29 Lang... There are some things you don't know at all... For example, Zhang Sanlang is not just an assassin... You all think that he killed a Nanya minister, so he came to rebel, but I know that he is I was really determined to bring peace to the world, so I wanted to rebel, so much so that I killed a Nanya minister by the way."
"That's the case, what kind of ability does Zhang Sanlang have to secure the world? Can he have the ability to form an army like Li Shuijun?" Fang Yanshi was furious for a while, as if he couldn't be convinced.
"Zhang Sanlang." Li Ding raised his head with his hands behind his back and smiled wryly. "I have seen countless heroes in my life, such as the first emperor, Yang Bin and his son, Cao Huangshu, Zhang Xianggong... also like Sima Erlong, like the female phoenix of the Bai family, like the Nanyang Wu brothers, even more like Cheng Dalang, like you... before and after Young and old, civil and military high and low, you can be considered well-informed, right?"
"Li Shuijun's experience is really rare." Fang Yanshi could only bow his head. "This also shows that Suicune is a hero in the world."
"Then let me tell you, among these people, Zhang Sanlang has three talents and virtues, which can be called first-class in the world, and three talents and virtues, which can be called the number one in the world."
Regardless of the other party's sincere flattery, Li Ding looked at the double moon above his head and said something earth-shattering.
"The three first-rates lie in wisdom, practice, and benevolence...
"And the first three things, one is to watch the world like a candle, easily reach the root, and have the overall situation in mind, penetrating the heavens and the earth, others treat him as a chess piece, but he can always jump out of the chessboard to open up new paths.
"The second is to be able to bend and stretch, bend one's body in the marketplace and government offices, write a book and a knife, enough to live a life of indifference, once stretched, but rise up like a real dragon, dare to be the first in the world.
"The third is the ability to know people, the ability to form a crowd... I won't say much about this, it is really the first thing I have seen in my life."
At this point, this Li Shuijun turned back and smiled awkwardly: "Of course, there are quite a lot of minor problems, even innumerable. One of them is being constrained by birth, cynical, and hating wealthy families... But no matter what, how dare I agree with him?" What about fighting? I’m just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger military strategy.”
Fang Yanshi wanted to speak again, but saw the other party wave his hand directly: "There is no need to say more, even if you refuse to accept Zhang Sanlang, I will go back to Dongdu... because if the situation in this world is really likely to make Zhang Sanlang helpless, That's nothing more than a resurgence of heroes among Guan Long... But Zhang Sanlang has something to say about it."
Fang Yanshi waited for a while, finally sighed, turned around and left.
After a while, there was a sudden commotion at the foot of Douzi, and then there was a burst of croaking, and a large flock of crows rose into the sky... Although a small number of crows were scattered to the other sides, a considerable part was driven by humans. Go north to the open space.
In front of Douzigang, in front of the finished troops, Zhang Xing, who had put on a set of bright light armor, was stunned for a while, and led Huang Puma, turned around and laughed with the others: "I thought Li Silang was just joking in the past... but Unexpectedly, this trick is really useful.”
Everyone was puzzled, so Zhang Xing had no choice but to explain: "Li Silang told me before that walnut shells were tied to the bird's feet, and smoldering charcoal cores were stuffed in the walnut shells to attack... the crow attacked at night, The sparrows attack the city."
Everyone is still puzzled.
Xiao Zhou asked more seriously: "The crow is carrying the fire, why should it stop?"
"Because my feet are hot." Zhang Xing laughed even harder. "Crows swarm and sparrows are common, and they are the least afraid of people. Once their feet are hot, most of the crows will fall to the tree, and most of the sparrows will drill into the eaves... But this time it is not so much trouble. It is about ten miles away. It will take more time to let Their feet were hot, and even their feathers were ignited, and then there was a plain, only the sorghum field and the wooden objects of the camp could stand, and they naturally fell."
Only then did everyone wake up, but they were still a bit unbelievable.
"Let's go!" Zhang Xing got serious, and then took a step forward with his horse. "'Front' is quick, let's not get out of touch with them... Even if this strategy fails, we will set it on fire."
"Master Zhang."
At this moment, Cheng Dalang suddenly led a horse and asked. "You are a body of a thousand gold, do you have to fight in person?"
"This matter cannot be avoided." Zhang Xing took it seriously. "I'm a boy from a poor family in the north. I have no prestige and I don't understand military affairs. Fortunately, I still have a little cultivation. If I don't go into battle and fight, how can I convince the real heroes?"
Cheng Dalang nodded, and then put the rein in his hand: "Master Zhang, since I promised to join the Dragon Gang, I am the leader under you, the leader of the right leader. , please come and ride."
Zhang Xing took the reins and threw them to the other party again: "I have received good intentions, and I will pass them on to you. I know that your cultivation is higher than mine, and fighting in front of the battle depends on your majesty, Cheng Dalang."
Cheng Zhili is so meticulous, he naturally knew that the most critical step has been made, so he didn't show any humility, he led the horse over again, and when the other party got on the yellow puma, he also got on the dragon colt.
Immediately, about [-] cavalrymen who had just prepared, set off slowly from Douzigang, and headed directly to the Qinghe bandit army camp, where there were still more than [-] soldiers more than ten miles ahead.
It seems that it is going to break ten with one.
A quarter of an hour later, a scruffy crow landed directly on a huge wooden square couch, waking Chief Zhang Jincheng from his sleep.
PS: Good night everyone.
(End of this chapter)
"Woo woo woo~ woo~~~..."
In the afternoon, at the junction of Bohai County and Pingyuan County, on the plain north of Douzigang, in the early autumn wind, there was a short and then long horn sound, but it was mixed with the autumn wind, and then submerged in the turmoil and Shouting.
It turned out that the two gangs under Zhang Jincheng's command were hastily trying to cross a small river no more than one foot wide, trying to keep up with the large army on the other side of the river.
But soon, the rumbling of horseshoes easily shook the ground, and brought the original commotion and shouting to a halt.But it was just a trace of stagnation, followed by commotion and shouting on a larger scale, hasty escape and panic to meet the enemy.
"It's Cheng Dalang!"
Someone cried out in public. "Cheng Dalang's cavalry is here!"
"Where are the spears? Where are the spears? Didn't the two leaders prepare the pikemen? Why didn't they stand up...Why are the pikemen at the front? Come this way!"
"Where's our cavalry? Didn't we say that there are also two cavalry? Why don't you come to rescue them?"
"Where are all the good men who practice? Don't you mean hundreds of good men who practice?"
"Zhang Laizi is not real. He came over this morning and said in person that if Cheng Dalang came over, he would turn around and save us!"
However, the pikemen did not push forward, their own cavalry did not appear, and the practitioners did not appear, and the friendly army did not appear for the time being... Under the chaos and panic, Cheng Dalang's cavalry had not actually bumped into it, and the bandit army in front of them He turned around in a panic, and caused the two groups of soldiers and horses behind him to separate and flee on their own.
Immediately, hundreds of cavalry with the banner of Cheng character easily maintained their impact speed in the fields and official roads. The armored cavalry was in front and the Qing cavalry was behind, chasing and dividing the two groups of bandits.
On the bare plains and fields, the tragic killings and bloody trampling, as well as helpless screams and complete chaos formed a sharp contrast.
This scene has been staged two or three times in a row today, and twice yesterday, each time when a small number of bandit troops were separated from the main force by a river ditch... and although each time faced The scenes are different, but in the end, Cheng Dalang's [-] cavalry easily completed the tactical tasks-assault, separation, killing, and driving.
In the end, the isolated bandit army was forced to abandon the rendezvous with the main force, turned around and drilled into the fields to the west, and then scattered into the sorghum fields that were actually not many, or hid in the small river ditches for irrigation.
In fact, even a small number of sorghum fields as high as one person, or small river ditches as deep as two people, cannot hide people from cavalry with high vision and high mobility, but these cavalry are not obsessed with killing. If you take the initiative to escape from the main force and disperse, you will immediately get a chance to escape.
For two days in a row, only Cheng Dalang came five times, and the infantry also attacked three times at the edge of Douzigang, plus the two vanguard cavalry that suddenly disappeared at the beginning. Zhang Jincheng, the commander in chief of the army, has already realized something.
It was precisely because of this that when Cheng Dalang was about to complete his assault with ease, he encountered an unexpected enemy.
A group of more than a thousand people, with a very high armor rate and exceptionally capable soldiers, suddenly came against the trend and hurried towards Xiaohegou, obviously trying to rescue them.
Of course, this core force, which naturally ranks among Zhang Jincheng's confidantes, came too late. The two thousands of men hanging on the side of the river had already been dispersed and fled, and this army of soldiers was also forced to flee. They stopped at the other side of the small river ditch where the pontoon bridge was still erected—it seemed unwise to try to cross the river in front of a cavalry that had already begun to regroup when the friendly troops on the other side had dispersed.
However, the core force, which had obviously been ordered, was unwilling to retreat.
"Where is Cheng Dalang? Hejian Zhang Botao is here. How dare you single out?!"
Just when Cheng Zhili was about to turn around and lead his troops to leave, Yiqi suddenly leaped over from the opposite bank. The horse was so handsome that it leaped over the small river, and then landed calmly with a neigh. The man on the horseback was also tall and fully dressed , a pair of bright armor shining in the afternoon sun, but brandishing a long spear, calling for battle.
"It's Zhang Laizi Zhang Xiaoyi."
A Duo Dangjia next to Cheng Zhili will immediately come forward and report in a low voice. "When I was doing reconnaissance before, I knew that this guy was Zhang Jincheng's confidant and led one of the three soldiers of the Chinese army...and there should be two hundred crossbowmen in this soldier, and Zhang Manzi is also strange. A master who has mastered the four meridians!"
The general was just introducing the situation, but the meaning at the moment is self-evident - there are two hundred crossbowmen, which means that as long as the crossbows are mounted, they can cross the river calmly, and Zhang Laizi should just rely on his own cultivation to delay.
In other words, there is no need to entangle at this time, just go as you should.
"good."
Cheng Zhili, who was fully armored, grinned. "It's the right time to leave at this time... But Zhang Laizi is an old friend after all, it would be impolite not to say hello... That horse should also be a dragon colt, it's a pity for Zhang Laizi... Besides, he can't set up a crossbow array Is it a stick of incense kung fu?"
The surrounding generals and confidantes, the horse lance and armor rider, were all used to Cheng Dalang, and they immediately understood, but they all kept silent, just holding the reins and the long lance tightly.
At the next moment, Cheng Zhili laughed loudly, raised his long spear and responded, "Is it Zhang Laizi? Wait for me to kill you!"
Zhang Botao was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he wanted to answer.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Dalang finished speaking, he came here on horseback.
Not only that, dozens of elite armored cavalry beside him also followed up, at least half of them exhaled their true energy, but they were guarding their own general who was also shining white, and went straight to the lonely man carrying the river and screaming. Zhang Xiaoyi left.
Zhang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then realized what was going on, but Cheng Zhili, who didn't talk about martial arts, led the crowd to kill him.
But he wanted to rein in his horse and was about to run away with the dragon colt under his crotch, but unexpectedly, white light on Cheng Zhili's body suddenly bloomed like a jade plate, and Duanjiang's true energy was attached to the long lance, which also made the lance grow almost ten feet out of thin air. Then he saw a ten-foot-long light slashing towards his face.
At this moment, Zhang Laizi, Zhang Botao, or Zhang Xiaoyi had already given up the idea of running away, instead there was only one thought that flashed in succession—this Cheng Dalang is about to condense his pill!But since they are all at this level of cultivation, why don't they single out and kill themselves in a grand manner, instead leading their own soldiers to bully the few with more?
Is he shameless? !
The long lance turned over, and Zhang Xiaoyi, who was sitting on the horse, was cut off directly from the chest and abdomen. For a while, his clothes and armor were even to the bone and flesh, and then blood gushed out like a spring, and the upper body that fell off the horse was still thinking.
It can only be said that Duanjiang Zhenqi is worthy of the orthodox lineage of Lord Baidi.
Don't gossip, Cheng Dalang succeeded in one blow, he didn't pay attention to the almost frightened soldiers on the other side of the river. .
Immediately, the [-] cavalry cheered and headed south along the flat terrain, but before evening, they entered the range of Douzi Hill and gathered the large troops in the hill.
Then on a small stone hillock, I saw Zhang San, Li Sier, and generals Niu Da, Guo Jingke, Cheng Mingqi, Fang Yanshi, and Zhou Xingfan.
"Cheng Dalang is back in victory, congratulations!"
Niu Da took the lead in handing over his hands. They were of similar backgrounds and were fellow villagers, so they naturally wanted to show their closeness.
"It's these people who can't help but fight! I thought it was a hero, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!"
Cheng Zhili yelled loudly, and immediately took off his armor at the foot of the post, not to mention sweating for a while, and even revealed most of his white tendons, as if he was a hero.
"You don't know, these thieves don't know anything! When I attacked the rear guard for the first time yesterday and burned their camp and supplies, I actually found more than a hundred crossbows in the car... I thought at the time, what if They used carts to back the river and set up crossbows, what can I do?! The result is that they don’t even know how to get the crossbows, let alone train formations! The second time I went to fight, many spears were scattered in the Wei army. , and they are all set up, I thought I met someone who knows how to do it, but they just went around to the other side, and they were in chaos! Today, these soldiers and horses can only trample on each other, even the spears and crossbows Not standing up a few..."
Zhang Xing and Li Ding could hear clearly on the post, but they could only talk to each other in the sobbing autumn wind.
After a long while, Li Ding elbowed the person beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you going down to comfort and praise me? Be your Dongdu call Baoyi?"
"It's not that I didn't do it yesterday." Zhang Xing pouted. "Besides, this kind of human spirit, it's ridiculous to make that kind of method again and again... There are clear rewards and punishments, just keep your word."
"But everyone is like this, you should cooperate a little or two, and you should do it for the few people around you." Li Ding couldn't urge him in time.
After Zhang Xinglue thought about it, he also nodded, but before turning around, he asked in a low voice: "The battle is like this, do we need to change our strategy?"
Li Ding just nodded.
"No matter what military strategy will be, you must respectfully ask me for instructions before making the final decision." After speaking in a low voice, Zhang Sanlang walked down with his hands behind his back.
Li Silang was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he sighed again and shook his head.
"Cheng Dalang played beautifully." Zhang Xing came down from Shitou Hill, although he was condescending, he also smiled and Yan Yan.
The sweat on Cheng Dalang's body was about to be blown dry, he just waited for this scene, then got up immediately, and bowed down shirtless, and in turn exchanged one, two, three, four in business.
This scene has already been performed once yesterday, and it is not too annoying today.
Unexpectedly, Zhang walked extremely slowly, and instead asked out of momentum, "Cheng Dalang, do you know what we were talking about before you came?"
Cheng Dalang was slightly taken aback, knowing that the other party had changed the scene, he quickly stood up in awe: "I don't know why..."
"We're talking about Zhang Jincheng." Zhang Xing glanced at Guo Jingke and spoke seriously. "Boss Xiao Guo and Zhang Jincheng are considered old friends. Needless to say, this meritorious service is all due to him luring Zhang Jincheng into the trap and destroying the opponent's cavalry..."
"Chief Xiaoguo is the first meritorious service." Cheng Dalang waved his hands without hesitation.
And Guo Jingke also hurriedly returned the gift... He naturally knew, not to mention that Zhang Sanlang was the leader, and Li Silang above was the leader of the army. He only said that this Cheng Dalang was also one of the unmistakable big leaders, who had always been on the same level as Xu Dalang and the others. Yes, this battle is even more majestic, from status to fame to strength, it is obviously a level higher than his own... How dare he take the big?
As for the first achievement... To put it bluntly, your eight hundred cavalry raided five or six times, and one family is worth as much as other families, and the sum is doubled. Who dares to compete with you?
Besides, Guo Jingke himself had something on his mind - he was half-hearted before, but after this day and a half of fighting, Zhang Jincheng's skin had already been torn off, so that he also felt very guilty.
"According to Leader Guo's words." Zhang Xing finally walked down, but he was quite emotional. "That Jin Scale was a serious hero in the past, no matter how you look at it, he is a person. Once he gained power, his reputation spread in Hebei and the East. It is estimated that Dongdu and Jiangdu are also famous... but I don't know why. , In these two days, you, Cheng Dalang, attacked five times, Cheng Qilang (Cheng Mingqi) attacked once, Fang 29 Lang (Fang Yanshi) attacked once, and Niutouling also attacked once with a symbolic surrender. Once, everyone said that this person is nothing more than that... Cheng Dalang, why do you think so?"
"I think, rather than saying that Zhang Jincheng is nothing more than that, it's better to say that the characters here are all real heroes!" Cheng Zhili smiled, and immediately spoke out. "Master Zhang, your situation is like playing Hebei in the east as a chessboard, turning your hands into clouds and rain; Fourth Master Li's military strategy is also powerful, leading a group of civilians, but after a few months in Putai, you can Such a strong army was created, and it was dozens of miles away from Putai to ambush and raid, and set up camps and military stations in Douzigang along the way without any loss. It is really a character that has never been seen in my life; Some abilities, but I can only say that I didn't lose the face of the two of you."
Zhang Xing also laughed, and shook his head again.
Cheng Zhili immediately became solemn.
"Actually, I thought about it. The reason why this golden scale is 'not so much' is probably because it's worse than 'not so much'." As he said, Zhang Xing patted the other party's Guangjie shoulder directly with his cold hand.
Cheng Zhili was startled suddenly, but his muscles tensed, he didn't show his true energy, but asked seriously, "What's the meaning of the third master?"
"Nothing else."
Zhang Xing retracted his hand and said with emotion.
"I'm just thinking, according to the information, when Zhang Jincheng was forced to rebel against the Great Wei, gathered dozens of troops and hundreds of civilians, and was forced to fight the local government and rob the official food, what would happen to him?" Not afraid?
"Then, he first fought with Cao Shancheng, the magistrate of his own county, that is, Qi County. As a result, the two sides fought more than a dozen battles for a month, and they couldn't win each other. At that time, would you feel depressed again?
"As a result, they were suddenly forced to go to other counties to seek food. Recruiting soldiers was like drinking water, picking up weapons everywhere, and fighting wars was like destroying the dead. More than a dozen counties, how many decent officers and troops, how many local heroes, and how many famous families can only be found here. He was completely defeated in front of him. At that time, would he think... So only I, Zhang Jincheng and Cao Shancheng are the heroes of the world, and the others are "just like that"?
"It can be seen that the heroes in this world are probably all bad because of 'nothing more than that'!"
"Master Zhang is absolutely right!" Cheng Dalang came to his senses and saluted seriously again. "No matter what, we shouldn't underestimate the enemy because of the war, especially when our career has just started... Mr. Zhang is right to teach you a lesson."
Cheng Dalang's words are sincere, because his temperament really pays attention to caution, it's just that he has been comfortable in the battle these two days, so he is presumptuous... Even the others have also come to their senses.
"Master Zhang doesn't just mean that."
At this moment, Li Ding suddenly came down from the stone hillock.
"In fact, there are too many reasons for the war... The right time, the right place, and the right people, all aspects... Today, it seems that Zhang Jincheng expanded his army too quickly, and he has no experience in running an army. In addition, he killed people indiscriminately and broke people's hearts. So we were easily restrained. To put it bluntly, if you give someone two years, fight too many battles, and practice a little bit, whoever loses may be the one who loses! It is to let him throw away the surrounding soldiers and horses, and only take With thousands of people in the headquarters, it may not be so easy!"
At this point, Li Dingli stood in front of several people, and boldly made a conclusion: "This is because Zhang Jincheng has lost his eyes, and we have made sufficient preparations... and based on the success or failure of the first battle, we judged the success of a general and an army without authorization." Good or bad, it's ridiculous!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
"Did you hear that?" Zhang Xing said suddenly, pointing at Li Ding. "This is the theory of famous generals!"
Everyone nodded quickly.
"Okay." Li Ding blushed and gave a dry cough. "The success or failure of a battle is to determine the quality of a general and an army. It is naturally ridiculous, but soldiers are the most dangerous thing. In addition to the success or failure of a battle, if they can go on to overthrow the army and kill the general, at least they can kill the enemy. Crucified in one place, there is no need to talk about it... As for the battle at this time, we have to change our strategy instead, and take advantage of Zhang Jincheng's unawareness of his situation, and immediately decide the winner!"
All the generals were in awe.
"Can we decide the outcome tonight?" Zhang Xing frowned slightly. "The eighty-nine battles before and after, but reduced his number by 8000 to [-], less than [-]% of his troops."
"Yes." Li Ding answered seriously. "Although only one or two percent of the army is missing, the army is already impetuous and the command is not clear... And at this point in the battle, his biggest disadvantage has actually been revealed, that is, the army is too bloated, and the elite cannot be stretched among them."
"But we only have [-] infantry, and the cavalry are tired during the day." Niu Da cautiously interjected, causing Cheng Zhili to nod his head. "They still have [-] people."
"There is no need to fight hard." Li Ding said with narrowed eyes. "I've been observing the wind direction, wind strength, cold and heat, dryness and wetness for half a day...you can attack with fire tonight...otherwise, we won't be talking about a decisive battle so easily."
Below Zhang Xing, all the generals were startled, they thought they were going to lay an ambush on all sides, but they didn't expect this to happen.
It can only be said that it really is still the way to use soldiers, with one mind.
But then, the more serious Xiao Zhou still asked seriously: "Fourth Brother Li, the crops in the field are only a shallow layer, at most one layer of fire, how can they burn up powerfully and cause damage?"
Li Ding shook his head in response: "I didn't expect fire to burn people to death. Fire is used to cause chaos. In essence, our strategy of ambush from all sides has worked. The opponent's army has lost their morale, so we can start a decisive battle ahead of time."
"Li Shuijun means..." Cheng Dalang hesitated. "The thieves are unprepared and exhausted. Let's send spies and set fires everywhere inside their camp?"
"No need." Li Ding still shook his head. "I observed the situation before I came out of Putai, and I thought that I might use this trick, so I asked Fang Xianwei to prepare under the post during the day, and let him do the fire inside the camp. Rui, when the time comes, bring a torch with you, and set fire to the outside when you attack at night."
Fang Yanshi's face was calm, and he bowed his hands in all directions: "My Shui Lord has already made arrangements, everyone, don't worry."
Everyone looked at this person one after another, but they could only keep their mouths shut, but they focused their eyes on Zhang Xing.
Following everyone's gaze, Li Ding suddenly came to his senses, but hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "This is my strategy, I don't know if Mr. Zhang agrees with you or not...you are the one who decides everything..."
Several people looked strange.
Zhang Xing thought for a while, and immediately asked the others: "Do you have any opinions?"
No one dared to say anything, except Guo Jingke's lips moved obviously.
"Leader Xiaoguo, please speak." Zhang Xing pointed at it.
Guo Jingke bowed his head and said: "I don't know how to fight, and I dare not participate in the military, but I don't know how much Li... Li Shuijun burns... crops...how much?"
"How much do you want to burn?" Zhang Xing asked Li Ding seriously. "Can the crops that have become ears be burned? Are you afraid that you will hurt Tianhe and blame the three hui and four imperial princes?"
"It's hard to say..." Li Ding was silent for a moment before speaking. "The way I started the fire was a bit out of control...but the area in front of the post is densely covered with river networks, so the fire won't spread too much. What's more, if Zhang Jincheng is wiped out earlier, more food will be saved. Compared with this, this The loss of some crops is not worth mentioning... Come to think of it, the three brilliance and the four masters will not blame it."
Zhang Xing was also silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Ding wanted to say something more, but remembered what he said before, and just waited silently.
At this time, the others just stared at each other with big eyes, all of them bowed their heads in silence.
After a long while, Zhang Xingfang nodded his head: "When the war started, I don't know how many lives were lost. At this moment, it seems that I don't know how to settle accounts... Let's make it so, this battle can be over, just tonight."
Only then did Li Ding feel relieved, but immediately he felt strange... because he seemed to be really a little afraid of Zhang Xing just now, for fear that the other party would say no and accuse him of only caring about military affairs and not talking about politics.
And Cheng Dalang watched this scene, and finally nodded in his heart.
"How to say?"
About an hour had passed since the military meeting inside Douzigang. Under two moons, on the great plain about ten miles in front of Douzigang, Chief Zhang Jincheng was also trying to end the military meeting. "Is it these two? One is to go north, farther away from Douzigang, and the cavalry has no basis, so they can't come so fast; the other is to go south, directly into Douzigang, and find the other camp?"
The leaders below just lowered their brows and made no response.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have counted on you..." Seeing this, Zhang Jincheng suddenly took a deep breath. "But I have to be honest, the matter is nothing more than this, and you have no other way... This is good, let's bump into the Douzi Hill tomorrow, and if we can find the other camp, we will fight hand-to-hand in the hill , of course it’s good; but if you run into an empty space or are stopped by someone, you can simply withdraw immediately, go north, and go around Douzigang!”
Many leaders below heaved a sigh of relief and praised.
And Zhang Jincheng also waved his hand on the huge square couch, telling all the leaders to leave.
However, after the leaders dispersed, Zhang Jincheng asked his own soldiers to call back four or five trusted leaders in private.
"Big Chief!"
Several trusted leaders knew Zhang Jincheng had orders, so they simply bowed their hands and bowed down under the leader's leadership. "Please tell the chief, we will definitely not leak the news."
"This battle can't be fought."
Reflecting on the bonfire not far away, Zhang Jincheng made a completely different judgment with a dark face. "Now that I think about it, we might have fallen for the trick from the very beginning, otherwise the boy Guo who led me to attack Putai that day wouldn't have run away on the way, and Cheng Dalang had already voted for the army...but the last thing I want to do now What is scary is that this matter is caused by Cao Shancheng. Although he is only a county magistrate, he has real skills. Putai is also an officer and has skills...Gaotang is our old nest, but now it is too empty .”
"Then we..."
"Tomorrow morning." Zhang Jincheng gritted his teeth. "Wang Er, you lead the headquarters to attack the Douzigang. Don't care about the lives of the soldiers. I will make up for you if you don't have many people. You must bring those leaders in, as long as you escape back... The rest of you, pack up your things early tomorrow morning, and pretend to go back from the north with me, but in fact just leave them and go back to Gaotang from the north! There are not many decent people who are easily bought by the officers and soldiers. Besides, without these people, we will not be short of food."
Only then did the leaders wake up, and immediately left in response.
As soon as he left, Zhang Jincheng sat alone on the huge square couch, and never said a word.
After a long time, he deliberately called for someone to dismantle the square couch under him, and directly set up a bonfire, but was blown by the warm autumn wind instead, gradually became sleepy, and finally fell asleep on the couch alone.
"Li Shuijun."
I don't know how long it took, Fang Yanshi walked over on a sloping edge of Douzigang, interrupting Li Ding's meditation alone, who was looking at the shelter more than ten miles away under the double moon. The huge and chaotic camp that can't be covered is in a daze.
"Are you ready?" Li Ding came back to his senses and asked seriously.
"It's all ready." Fang Yanshi replied cautiously. "They're all lined up, too."
"Then watch the timing yourself, and do it within a quarter of an hour." Li Ding, with his hands behind his back, ordered simply.
Fang Yanshi nodded, but did not leave.
"Anything to say?" Li Ding suddenly realized, and turned around to ask.
"Yes." Fang Yanshi answered seriously. "Li Shuijun really wants to go back to the Eastern Capital?"
Li Ding was silent.
"Actually, I have a cousin who participated in Yang Shen's troubles before, and even said that he met Li Shuijun... Li Shu also kept writing to him before..."
"What do you want to say?" Li Ding urged for a while. "Don't miss the battle."
"I think so." Fang Yanshi bowed his head sincerely. "With Li Shuijun's background, talent, and our current good situation, as well as the materials in Putai, plus the hearts of Hebei people, and our Fang family's dedication to help, Shuijun can definitely stay and do a great job. Career, and you don’t have to be controlled by others... No matter how bad it is, if you want to join the Dragon Gang, you can completely form your own system! You don’t have to be so wronged like today, being controlled by an assassin!"
"I can only appreciate your kindness." Hearing this, Li Ding finally smiled. "But Fang 29 Lang... There are some things you don't know at all... For example, Zhang Sanlang is not just an assassin... You all think that he killed a Nanya minister, so he came to rebel, but I know that he is I was really determined to bring peace to the world, so I wanted to rebel, so much so that I killed a Nanya minister by the way."
"That's the case, what kind of ability does Zhang Sanlang have to secure the world? Can he have the ability to form an army like Li Shuijun?" Fang Yanshi was furious for a while, as if he couldn't be convinced.
"Zhang Sanlang." Li Ding raised his head with his hands behind his back and smiled wryly. "I have seen countless heroes in my life, such as the first emperor, Yang Bin and his son, Cao Huangshu, Zhang Xianggong... also like Sima Erlong, like the female phoenix of the Bai family, like the Nanyang Wu brothers, even more like Cheng Dalang, like you... before and after Young and old, civil and military high and low, you can be considered well-informed, right?"
"Li Shuijun's experience is really rare." Fang Yanshi could only bow his head. "This also shows that Suicune is a hero in the world."
"Then let me tell you, among these people, Zhang Sanlang has three talents and virtues, which can be called first-class in the world, and three talents and virtues, which can be called the number one in the world."
Regardless of the other party's sincere flattery, Li Ding looked at the double moon above his head and said something earth-shattering.
"The three first-rates lie in wisdom, practice, and benevolence...
"And the first three things, one is to watch the world like a candle, easily reach the root, and have the overall situation in mind, penetrating the heavens and the earth, others treat him as a chess piece, but he can always jump out of the chessboard to open up new paths.
"The second is to be able to bend and stretch, bend one's body in the marketplace and government offices, write a book and a knife, enough to live a life of indifference, once stretched, but rise up like a real dragon, dare to be the first in the world.
"The third is the ability to know people, the ability to form a crowd... I won't say much about this, it is really the first thing I have seen in my life."
At this point, this Li Shuijun turned back and smiled awkwardly: "Of course, there are quite a lot of minor problems, even innumerable. One of them is being constrained by birth, cynical, and hating wealthy families... But no matter what, how dare I agree with him?" What about fighting? I’m just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger military strategy.”
Fang Yanshi wanted to speak again, but saw the other party wave his hand directly: "There is no need to say more, even if you refuse to accept Zhang Sanlang, I will go back to Dongdu... because if the situation in this world is really likely to make Zhang Sanlang helpless, That's nothing more than a resurgence of heroes among Guan Long... But Zhang Sanlang has something to say about it."
Fang Yanshi waited for a while, finally sighed, turned around and left.
After a while, there was a sudden commotion at the foot of Douzi, and then there was a burst of croaking, and a large flock of crows rose into the sky... Although a small number of crows were scattered to the other sides, a considerable part was driven by humans. Go north to the open space.
In front of Douzigang, in front of the finished troops, Zhang Xing, who had put on a set of bright light armor, was stunned for a while, and led Huang Puma, turned around and laughed with the others: "I thought Li Silang was just joking in the past... but Unexpectedly, this trick is really useful.”
Everyone was puzzled, so Zhang Xing had no choice but to explain: "Li Silang told me before that walnut shells were tied to the bird's feet, and smoldering charcoal cores were stuffed in the walnut shells to attack... the crow attacked at night, The sparrows attack the city."
Everyone is still puzzled.
Xiao Zhou asked more seriously: "The crow is carrying the fire, why should it stop?"
"Because my feet are hot." Zhang Xing laughed even harder. "Crows swarm and sparrows are common, and they are the least afraid of people. Once their feet are hot, most of the crows will fall to the tree, and most of the sparrows will drill into the eaves... But this time it is not so much trouble. It is about ten miles away. It will take more time to let Their feet were hot, and even their feathers were ignited, and then there was a plain, only the sorghum field and the wooden objects of the camp could stand, and they naturally fell."
Only then did everyone wake up, but they were still a bit unbelievable.
"Let's go!" Zhang Xing got serious, and then took a step forward with his horse. "'Front' is quick, let's not get out of touch with them... Even if this strategy fails, we will set it on fire."
"Master Zhang."
At this moment, Cheng Dalang suddenly led a horse and asked. "You are a body of a thousand gold, do you have to fight in person?"
"This matter cannot be avoided." Zhang Xing took it seriously. "I'm a boy from a poor family in the north. I have no prestige and I don't understand military affairs. Fortunately, I still have a little cultivation. If I don't go into battle and fight, how can I convince the real heroes?"
Cheng Dalang nodded, and then put the rein in his hand: "Master Zhang, since I promised to join the Dragon Gang, I am the leader under you, the leader of the right leader. , please come and ride."
Zhang Xing took the reins and threw them to the other party again: "I have received good intentions, and I will pass them on to you. I know that your cultivation is higher than mine, and fighting in front of the battle depends on your majesty, Cheng Dalang."
Cheng Zhili is so meticulous, he naturally knew that the most critical step has been made, so he didn't show any humility, he led the horse over again, and when the other party got on the yellow puma, he also got on the dragon colt.
Immediately, about [-] cavalrymen who had just prepared, set off slowly from Douzigang, and headed directly to the Qinghe bandit army camp, where there were still more than [-] soldiers more than ten miles ahead.
It seems that it is going to break ten with one.
A quarter of an hour later, a scruffy crow landed directly on a huge wooden square couch, waking Chief Zhang Jincheng from his sleep.
PS: Good night everyone.
