Chapter 33 Meeting Zheng Nandi

Liu Zhihe summoned the generals: "There is an enemy situation fifty miles away, which is really unexpected. We haven't reached the north of Hunan yet. Did they capture the city again and advance northward, or did they find out our marching route and come to stop it?"

Deputy General Lin said: "It is necessary to prepare for battle to prevent the enemy from making a surprise attack."

Just as we were talking, another sentry came to report that the enemy had already marched towards our place.

Liu Zhihe said: "Vice-General Lin is on the left flank, and Vice-General Zhang is on the right flank. I will guard the center. This Vice-General Zhao," he glanced at Zhao Xinghe, "take your troops to the rear."

Zhao Xinghe didn't say anything, and took orders with everyone.Liu Zhihe's personal guard asked: "Deputy General Zhao and his team are all veterans, but they are well equipped. Why don't they put them on the front line?"

Liu Zhihe said: "These noble children are the most troublesome. They are all here to make military achievements. They are afraid of knocking and touching. They hurt them. I can't explain when I go back."

The guard didn't speak either.

Not long after, the cry of killing sounded, and the enemy and us had already encountered each other.

A sentry ran in staggeringly: "It's not good, Commander, there is an enemy attack from behind."

Liu Zhihe yelled: "It's not good, I've been ambushed."

He was about to go back immediately, and the guard said: "Commander, you can't. You can't leave the middle, or the situation of the battle will change."

Liu Zhihe thought about it and said, "Just look at this kid Zhao Xinghe."

Sure enough, all of a sudden there were killing sounds everywhere, unexpectedly how many enemy soldiers and horses had come, Liu Zhihe stood outside the tent and looked out.Vice General Zhang is still struggling to support, while Vice General Lin's soldiers and horses have suffered heavy casualties.Liu Zhihe said: "Attacking in the middle, we must stop the enemy army, and we cannot let them meet head to tail." One of his personal guards led the order and joined the battle with soldiers and horses.

As soon as the middle lane joined, the pressure on Vice General Zhang and Vice General Lin suddenly eased, and sure enough, the situation began to change again.

At this time, a sentry came to report: "The enemy attacking behind has been wiped out, and Vice General Zhao asked for orders to join the battle."

Liu Zhihe was very surprised. One of his personal guards said: "Maybe there are not many people in the surprise attack." Liu Zhihe said: "Let Vice General Zhao quickly reinforce."

Soon, Zhao Xinghe arrived with his troops, he saw the situation and immediately said: "Follow me, Left Wing."

A personal guard said: "He has a sharp eye. The left wing is the weakest right now. If the left wing falls, the enemy will be encircled and we will be defeated."

Liu Zhihe nodded and looked intently, "Huh?" He said, "What kind of play is this?" Zhao Xinghe rushed in front, and the veterans behind, or three, or six, formed a circle, back to back.Moving quickly in the enemy army, someone falls, and immediately someone pulls him up and forms a circle again. You block a sword for me, and I cut a knife for you. Everyone cooperates with each other, maneuvers flexibly in the battle situation, and takes the lead bravely.

Liu Zhihe sighed and said, "So that's what he practiced."

Zhao Xinghe kept observing, and if he was struggling, he rushed over to help. Seeing him like this, everyone killed the enemy more bravely.Before long, the pressure on the left wing had eased.Zhao Xinghe suddenly shouted: "Assemble." Everyone gathered together suddenly, Zhao Xinghe shouted: "Rush over!" As he spoke, he took the lead in charging towards the enemy on the left flank, and everyone followed closely behind. Soon, the defense line on the left flank was captured rush away.Zhao Xinghe said: "Come with me, go to the right wing."

Everyone gathered together and rushed to the right wing.

Liu Zhihe said: "He is quite sure, Vice General Zhang is almost unable to hold on."

Zhao Xinghe took the lead and charged into the right flank. Everyone followed him and fought all the way. Zhao Xinghe shouted: "Stay away."

Everyone quickly dispersed into groups of three, back to back, fighting back and forth on the right wing.

Soon they broke through the encirclement in the middle, and turned back to support the right wing. The enemy suddenly withdrew, and Liu Zhihe shouted: "Don't chase after the poor." Everyone retreated and came back to count the losses.

Zhao Xinghe sat on the ground all of a sudden.Shen Ding hurried forward: "Master, are you alright?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "It's nothing, it's all other people's blood."

Vice General Zhang said, "Thank you just now."

Zhao Xinghe nodded: "We're all in the same robe, so you're welcome."

Deputy General Lin said with a smile: "Where did you get your sword? Cutting people is like cutting cabbages."

Zhao Xinghe looked at the sword in his hand, smiled, but didn't speak.

At this time, a personal guard came over and said, "Except for Deputy General Zhao's subordinates, the rest suffered heavy losses. The commander asked me to ask Deputy General Zhao if he could bring some wound medicine. Many brothers are seriously injured."

Zhao Xinghe said to Shen Ding: "Take it out."

Shen Ding said: "This is the first battle, take it out now, what should we do in the future?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "There are so many people injured, we can't just ignore it, let's talk about it later."

Shen Ding had no choice but to go back to his horse and take the two big bundles.One bag was given to Deputy General Lin, and the other to Deputy General Zhang, "This is the best medicine for wounds, and it was found in the only place, so I brought so much, I will give it all to you."

Vice-General Lin and Vice-General Zhang glanced at each other, and Vice-General Zhang said: "Thank you, I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

Vice-General Lin half-jokingly said, "I'll count it in too."

The two took the wound medicine and went to share the medicine with their respective troops.

When Liu Zhihe heard about it, he snorted and said nothing.

The army rested for two days and continued to march.

After a while, he came to the outside of Jingzhou city. "Could it be that Jingzhou City has already been taken by the rebels?"

The sentry came back and reported: "The flag of the rebels is flying on Jingzhou City."

Liu Zhihe asked: "Whose name is written on the flag?"

The detective said, "It's written with a Zheng character."

Liu Zhihe scolded: "Why am I so unlucky to meet this old fellow Zheng Nandi. I mean, before I arrive in Jingzhou, give me a back and forth attack."

Liu Zhihe asked again: "Have you sent any recent battle reports?"

His personal guard said: "We have been marching, and the battle report cannot be delivered in time."

Liu Zhihe sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to those roads? Zheng Nandi has already arrived in Jingzhou, and I think they are more or less fortunate."

A guard was relatively young and asked, "Who is Zheng Nandi?"

Another guard said, "You don't even know Zheng Nandi?"

Liu Zhihe said: "Zheng Nandi was a fierce general under the late emperor's command. His real name was Zheng Kai. Because he had never been rivaled in battle, he was almost victorious in every battle, so he was called Zheng Nandi. His younger sister married the first emperor's eldest son. , but later, the late emperor passed the throne to the present emperor, and Zheng Nandi took the whole family to follow Prince Su, the eldest son of the late emperor, to Xiangxi. , count me unlucky."

The personal guard said: "Is he very old? Maybe his son is leading the army."

Liu Zhihe said: "Zheng Nandi is not very old. He became famous in the first battle at the age of 15. Since then, he has been on the battlefield and has never met an opponent."

The guard didn't speak anymore.Vice-General Lin said: "No way, let's go around?"

Deputy General Zhang said: "Go around, thanks to your thinking, do you know that Jingzhou City is the only way to go to Xiangxi, and it is a must-have for military strategists. How can we go around it."

Zhao Xinghe said: "It's better to outsmart."

Vice General Lin smiled: "You want to outsmart Zheng Nandi, are you kidding?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "I have read some local chronicles before, and it said that there is a custom in Jingzhou area to open a small corner gate on the city gate, usually the south gate, for people returning at night to enter and exit. I want to try it and see Is it real."

Deputy General Lin laughed again: "You mean, you are going to see if there is this small corner gate, can you sneak into the city? Did you forget? There is a moat in front of the city. How do you go there? Swim through it?"

Zhao Xinghe said seriously: "Of course it's swimming."

Vice-General Lin and Vice-General Zhang burst out laughing, and even Liu Zhihe also laughed: "Do you know how deep this moat is?"

Zhao Xinghe still said seriously: "No matter how deep it is, as long as you know how to swim, you can swim across it."

Everyone stopped laughing: "You mean..."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I will swim there with ten soldiers who can swim. If there is a small gate, we will go in and find a way to open the gate. If not, we will swim back and make plans."

Vice General Lin thought about it and said, "This is not impossible."

Liu Zhihe said: "Okay, try your luck. I can't be so unlucky all the time. You go pick ten people."

Zhao Xinghe went.Liu Zhihe said indignantly: "This old man Xia is a capable person even if he finds a son-in-law."

Everyone talked about the current situation for a while, and they were all worried.
