Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Tang Shengzhi's original plan was to go all the way to the city wall of Hangzhou and attack Yang Wei's group into the city. However, he did not expect that when the troops of the three regiments marched from Zhipu Road, Meiling Road and Jiuxi Road respectively, they were frequently hit by thunder on the way. , a regiment of more than [-] troops, in a blink of an eye, less than half was left due to casualties and escapes. w w. v m)

The Northern Expeditionary Army grew stronger and stronger, absorbing a large number of defeated warlords. Although the size of the army is not only expanding, but the overall quality is declining.

Gong Hao's report made Tang Shengzhi almost fall off his chair. He adjusted his glasses tremblingly, but he couldn't tell whether it was anger or fear, and asked in an unbelievable voice: "Say it again?"

Not to mention Tang Shengzhi, even Gong Hao couldn't believe that Yang Wei would plant landmines on all three roads. Where did Yang Wei get so many landmines?And judging from the number of soldiers struck by mines, the size of this minefield is too large to be underestimated. Could it be that Yang Wei used all his military supplies to buy landmines and planted them on the road?

Tang Shengzhi had no choice but to believe the facts. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Okay, there really is him. He really is a coward. He only knows how to play such dirty tricks. Send troops! This time I will lead the troops myself, but I still don't believe it." Just a few landmines can stop our Northern Expedition Iron Army!" Blood Quenching Mountain and River 133

Gong Hao saw the tragedy of the injury with his own eyes, so he quickly stopped Tang Shengzhi with his hands and said, "Commander, don't act rashly. We should handle these matters. If the commander has any troubles, wouldn't he be falling into Yang Wei's trap?"

Tang Shengzhi was furious at the time, but after hearing Gong Hao say this, he immediately regained his senses.

Naturally, Tang Shengzhi would not use his life to detect mines, but looking at his subordinates, he was definitely not reconciled. After thinking about it, he had to entrust the task of detecting mines to someone he could trust, and in the entire army, Tang Shengzhi The most trustworthy person stood in front of him.

Seeing Tang Shengzhi staring intently at him, Gong Hao suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and the expression on his face gradually became stiff. After Tang Shengzhi glanced at Gong Hao, he turned around and went to the table to pick up the banknotes, mysteriously Xixi wrote and drew for a long time.

Gong Hao saw Tang Shengzhi's posture and knew that he was divination again, but Tang Shengzhi looked at him just now with a strange expression. Gong Hao was afraid that Tang Shengzhi was playing his own mind, and immediately racked his brains to find an excuse to escape.

But before Gong Hao could come up with an idea, the most worrying thing in his heart came. Tang Shengzhi shook his shoulder vigorously, and said very sincerely: "It is true that the soldiers under your command died on the battlefield so much. It is heartbreaking and we must not just sit idly by."

Gong Hao swallowed his saliva. As the commander of the army, Tang Shengzhi called him "you and me". With this foreshadowing, there will be no good things in the future. Gong Hao asked bravely, "I don't know what the commander has planned?"

Tang Shengzhi hid his knife in his smile and said: "I just made a divination for you. Staff Officer Gong's fate is upright and there is no one in ten thousand. The hexagram is auspicious. If Staff Officer Gong leads the army to lead the army, I will be able to keep my soldiers safe and sound through the minefield. , entered Hangzhou City unscathed."

Good guy, Gong Hao scolded his mother immediately in his heart. In order to save his life, Tang Shengzhi wanted to push himself to the front line. Gong Hao resisted his anger and said: "Mr. It is a precedent for Gong Hao to set this precedent, but the name is wrong and the words are not smooth, and he has the fear of cholera in the army, and he must not take such a risk at this critical juncture."

Tang Shengzhi shook his head and said again and again: "Consultant Gong can't be so decisive. Things in this world always have a beginning, not to mention just sending you to check minefields. As for going to the front line, you don't have to 'fuck' it." Heart."

Having reached this point, although Tang Shengzhi was smiling, the determination in those eyes could be discerned at a glance. Gong Hao knew that Tang Shengzhi had made up his mind, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Tang Shengzhi sent a brigade led by Gong Hao to enter Hangzhou from Meiling Road. Before leaving, Tang Shengzhi was still rambling: "Staff Gong can rest assured that the hexagram is clear. This is a sign of great auspiciousness. Absolutely. no problem."

For Tang Shengzhi's reassurance, Gong Hao didn't respond at all, and didn't even respond with a word. With a cold face, he marched towards Meiling Road with a brigade of troops. What nonsense divination, if this kind of thing can be effective, then why do you need to march and fight? Why don’t you let the Northern Expeditionary Army and various warlords sit together and tell the fortune, whoever has a good fortune will be in charge, and if the fortune is not good, get out Already!"

Having said that, Gong Hao still had to deal with the problem when he actually came to the minefield. In front of him was the place where a large number of soldiers were struck by mines and fell down. The soil was dark red due to the blood , the air is filled with the smell of explosives and blood mixed together, very pungent, and there are scattered limbs in the distance, because the soldiers are afraid that there are landmines in front of them and dare not approach, those flesh and blood are scattered and no one is around. Ask about.

Gong Hao frowned. These roads are the only way to Hangzhou, that is to say, the landmines here must be cleared. The only way right now is to throw stones and ask for directions. Although the method is a bit stupid, it is It's the only way I can think of right now.

It's just that he doesn't know how big this minefield is. Gong Hao suspects that Yang Wei just planted so many mines in the road to boost his prestige. How can a mere garrison commander of a motley army have such strong financial resources and equipment?

When Gong Hao was thinking about a solution, he suddenly saw something in the open space not far in front of him. He waved his hand quickly, and the soldier handed over the binoculars. The warning sign on the meter square reads in thick and large characters: Don't enter the minefield here.

Gong Hao knew who wrote the warning sign without guessing, but Gong Hao frowned involuntarily, thinking what kind of trick Yang Wei was doing?Since the intention is to bury mines, why is this warning given? Isn't this inconsistent?

Standing beside Gong Hao, Zhao Hongjie, the brigade commander of the first brigade, saw that Gong Hao was holding a telescope with a dignified expression, so he hurriedly searched for it. After a while, he saw the eight big characters in the telescope, and immediately cursed involuntarily: " Grandma, grandma, bear, isn’t this playing people like monkeys? He said it’s a minefield or a minefield? It’s obvious that there’s no silver 300 taels here, so a fool believes in such a trick. I’m going to step on you today This minefield!" Blood Quenching Mountain and River 133

Zhao Hongjie was scolding, and suddenly saw the darkness in the binoculars in front of him, he quickly put down the binoculars, and saw Gong Hao standing in front of him, looking at him seriously.

Gong Hao really felt helpless, just listening to Zhao Hongjie's angry reprimand, he knew that this person was a reckless man who couldn't do things with his head, and it was Sansheng who was lucky to accumulate virtue for his ancestors if he sent troops to fight with this kind of person.However, this matter was not entirely Zhao Hongjie's responsibility. If Tang Shengzhi hadn't been advocating how strong and powerful the Northern Expedition Army was, and how vulnerable Yang Wei was, Zhao Hongjie and others would not be so arrogant.

Looking at Zhao Hongjie's bewildered expression, Gong Hao advised patiently: "Brigade Commander Zhao, don't be so impulsive. I have heard that Yang Wei behaves very pervertedly, making it difficult to guess his intentions. Let's hang up today." Putting up such a brand must be intentional and hide another purpose, so I don’t think it should be careless.”

Zhao Hongjie was born with a gun, so naturally he couldn't understand the thoughts of a person like Gong Hao who is full of poetry and books, and he frowned and said anxiously: "Commander Gong, the commander has an order to fight quickly, what should we do now? ?”

Gong Hao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Right now, there was a minefield in front of him. The troops of a brigade seemed to be tied up and couldn't move an inch. They couldn't even touch the gates of other people's cities. What's the point of fighting?
