Chapter 60 Raid Battalion
? "Who are you? Why did you enter the city?" The city gate official stopped Zhou Fashang, who walked into the city gate hole, asked. His subordinates looked at the large group of soldiers behind Zhou Fashang, looking alert.
"Your dog eyes are blind! You don't even recognize me!" Zhou Fashang suddenly cursed and then whipped the horse whip in his hand towards the city gate official. The city gate official was caught off guard and was thrust in his shoulders with pain. He saw Zhou Fashang rushing straight into the city so anxious that he was sweating profusely and rushed forward to pull the reins.
‘God, why did I meet an unreasonable vassal king!’ The city gate officials thought so but did not dare to say it. If the royal family vassal kings wanted to kill them, they were almost the same as crushing an ant to death. If they wanted to follow military orders, they could only "use softness to overcome hardness."
The general stationed in Xincai ordered anyone to check their identity when entering the city, and asked clearly the reason to avoid infiltrating into the city. That's right, but there was no way to meet those high officials and various generals and other small fish and shrimps.
Fortunately, the Shangguan I met before were all sensible people and did not make things difficult for them. Unexpectedly, when I walked too much at night, I met a domineering vassal king.
"Master, you can't do it, you can't do it!" He ran forward desperately and shouted, pulling the reins of Zhou Fashang's mount. He endured the pain of whip after whip on his body and shouted with great strength: "Military orders are like mountains, please respect yourself!"
"Self-respect? I am ordered to supervise the army. What do you dare to block the road!" Zhou Fashang was like a domineering vassal king at this time, and his subordinates rushed into the city regardless of their concern. When the soldiers guarding the city saw that their superiors did not dare to be hard, they endured the whip and begged hard, and they did not dare to stop others.
The defenders on the city saw this movement and knew that the vassal kings were acting arrogantly, but they all pretended not to see it. Zhou Fashang saw that Chen Jun was shocked by him and then slowed down his tone and asked the gatekeeper to lead him to meet the garrison generals "theory".
The unlucky city gate official was about to walk forward with a bitter face but was raised by the other party: "It's too slow!"
Zhou Fashang carried the city gate officials and led his subordinates to gallop on the street. They followed the guidance and rushed straight to the yamen. After a while, they rushed to the destination. The soldiers at the gate rushed over with great momentum when they saw a group of people rushing over and quickly closed the door for warning. Zhou Fashang threw the person in his hand to the ground:
"Go and ask your Shangguan to come over and see the orphan!"
‘Get over and see the orphan?’ The soldier was stunned when he heard this and then looked at the unlucky ghost on the ground and suddenly realized: Which royal family and vassal king are here to find fault!
But they also felt something was wrong there. They remembered that the king was the military supervisor before, and now he has followed the army to siege Yongxing. Why is there an "alone" coming here? Such a fierce attitude must be that he did not abide by the rules when entering the city. He was questioned by the city gate officials and had to come to the door to scold him.
Bastard, the King of Shixing, who did all the bad things, died at the beginning of the year. He was destroyed by the one-legged bronze man in Xiyang City. Why is there such a domineering vassal king?
The soldiers cursed but dared not say it. Someone hurriedly ran into the yamen, while the rest stood aside with dirt on the side. Seeing that the guards at the gate were being suppressed, Zhou Fashang turned his eyes to his subordinates, and the group threw whips off the horse and stepped into the door.
Seeing him and his entourage looking like he was seeking a crime, no one dared to stop him. Everyone knew that being hacked to death by the royal family would die in vain. Not only did they not receive any pensions, but they might also implicate their relatives and friends in prison. No one dared to speak loudly and could only follow closely behind with a bitter face.
The vassal kings were not allowed to provoke Shangguan, but it was not easy to get along with him. Shangguan was scolded by the vassal kings and turned around, but he had to find their bad luck. Everyone was fucking the bullet and following the group of uninvited guests. They couldn't stop them, so as not to be asked about the crime of being unfavorable to guard the door later.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, several Chen army generals in the government office hurried out. The leader was stunned when he saw Zhou Fashang rushing towards him in person, then looked surprised and pointed at him and said, "You are... Zhou... Zhou Fa..."
Before he finished speaking, the white light flashed and blood splashed. The general's head was cut off by Zhou Fashang's sword. Suddenly, the other Chen generals and soldiers around him could react. Zhou Fashang led his subordinates to draw their swords and slash them.
"If you are alone and kill the traitor, you will be punished as a traitor!"
......
In the camp outside the gate of Xincai City, Shi Wansui rode his horse into the gate and broke into the soldiers who were blocking the door and knocked them away. He used the horse spear in his hand to pick the horse in front of him to the side and led his cavalry to rush into the camp.
The incident happened suddenly, and the camp guards did not expect that the friendly troops approaching the gate would attack. The archers on duty on the archery tower were shot and killed one by one by these people, and the scattered soldiers on the ground were even more powerless to stop them. Because this place was a place where food, grass, water and land were transported, there were many young and strong people who were recruited to serve. These civilians scattered like birds and beasts when they were rushed by the aggressive cavalry.
They cried and fled, but were more driven by the cavalry behind them and ran into the depths of the camp. The small-scale Chen Jun who rushed to hear the news was dazed by them in front of them. Before they could come back to their senses, they were knocked away by the cavalry that followed. It was not until then that many soldiers realized that it was someone attacking the camp.
The sun sets in the sky, and there are already scattered torches in the camp. Of course, the main place for food and grass is to set fire. Those torches are just lit on the periphery and near the granary. However, the torches that have just been lit were pulled up by the cavalry of the attack camp and grabbed them in their hands and approached them one by one.
"Grain, they want to burn the granary!" A Chen general shouted loudly. He held a pony in one hand and waved his sword in the other, and directed the command to intercept the troops. Sporadic soldiers set up defenses on the necessary path to the granary. However, before the people gathered, they rushed to the front of the camp's cavalry.
Shi Wansui was on the way and saw a general organization resisting. After estimating the distance, he raised the horse spear in his hand and threw it hard to throw it. The opponent was caught off guard and was killed on the spot by the horse spear. Seeing this, the other soldiers were stunned and were knocked away by the roaring cavalry before they could react. Shi Wansui pulled up the horse spear inserted into the target and continued to lead the troops forward.
Once the cavalry speed increases, the infantry cannot stop it unless the formation is formed. The Hulin Army cavalry divides into several groups and rushes towards the granary along the road in the Chen Jun camp. Some of the Chen soldiers blocking along the way are stabbed to death by horse spears, and some are barely avoided the sudden collision of the war horses that rushed over and then are strapped by horse hooves or are either dead or disabled.
The newly gathered soldiers were crushed by the cavalry. The riots gradually expanded with the fires coming out of the camp, and the crying sounds in Xincai City next to them increased people's fear.
It was the enemy's camp that attacked the camps. Not only did they attack the camps outside the city and Xincai and were both hit by Yang, but also attacked the city camps with strict defenses, which showed that the enemy's troops had a lot of troops and something was wrong!
Jinzhou was originally the territory of the Sui State, and Xincai City was stolen by the government army not long ago. Everyone thought that the Sui army must be attacking now. So running into the wilderness northward must be seeking death and having to escape to the river. The northerners who jumped into the water had no choice but to jump into the water.
The Chen army soldiers, who had become frightened birds, and the young and strong ran towards the river regardless of Shangguan's orders. Shi Wansui was too lazy to chase after him when he saw the opponent's morale was dissipated, so he led his subordinates straight towards the granary.
The surprise attack was very smooth, as long as the granary was burned, the task was completed. If Xin Cai had not been too far from the Zhou army's control, he would have been more than half sure.
"Military Master, there is a fire in the granary!" Some subordinates shouted loudly. When Shi Wansui heard this, he looked up and saw that there was a fire on the east side of the granary, and the riverside on the east side of the camp was also rioting.
"Which bastard moves so fast?" Shi Wansui was a little confused. He was the first to rush into Chen Jun camp, and he didn't delay much along the way, so he was puzzled why he was snatched away first.
The Hulin Army entered the camp from the northwest side of the camp. Now in front of the camp is the east side of the camp, there should be a large number of troops attacking the camp. After thinking about it, Shi Wansui always felt something was wrong. They did not divide their troops and rushed in from the east side of the camp.
"Roar, keep rushing!" Shi Wansui commanded his subordinates to continue rushing towards the granary. The first thing at the moment was to set fire to the granary, so he decided to wait for the fire to rise if he had any questions.
While rushing along the way, a group of Chen soldiers ran over in panic, as if they were being chased behind them. Shi Wansui was puzzled and told her to be careful when she was on guard. The escaped Chen soldiers were dispersed, so he could not help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
......
In the wilderness on the north side of the camp, Yuwen Wen and Zhou Faming led dozens of cavalry to breathe rapidly and watched the movements and stills in the south. Their comrades are now slaughtering in Xincai City and the camp by the river, but they are "pressing the formation" outside to watch the fun, which is really itchy.
Yuwen Wen was like a man who had been busy with weddings for several months. He finally picked up the bride and was about to enter the wedding chamber, but found that the groom was not her. That feeling was really heartbroken.
Everything starts with the leadership of Hengzhou Governor Zhou Fashang, leading troops to rescue Qizhou Prefecture, the capital of Qichang City. After confronting Chen Jun outside Qichang City, Zhou Erlang found that something was wrong. He first sent a sentry to investigate everywhere to prevent Chen Jun from stealing his dog. He also sent elite Zhou family troops to cross mountains and ridges to the east to investigate Jinzhou. As a result, this investigation discovered something amazing.
The motive for Chen's army to attack Qichang was not simple. It was only one of the only things that affected the troops of the Huangzhou General Administration to attack the east and west. Another purpose was to protect the flanks and protect their main army in the attack on Jinzhou, the Sui State in Jiangbei.
Jinzhou was east of Qizhou. The Chen army crossed the river from Jiangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to attack Xincai. After succeeding, it used this as a stronghold to attack Yongxing in the northeast. At this time, Qizhou, located in the northwest, became a hidden danger that threatened the flanks of the Chen army.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Jun under Qichang City seems strange. He still refuses to leave even though he knows that he cannot conquer the city.
It is probably true that they want to take Qi Chang down. However, after the failure of the emergency attack on Qi Chang, the important task of Chen's army was to nail the outside of the city, with the purpose of restraining the Zhou army and leaving him no time to look around, which means to cover the main force's flank.
Zhou Fashang used the elite troops sent to explore this situation, carefully analyzed the interests, and immediately wrote a letter to send it to Bazhou to Yuwen Wen. In the letter, he analyzed in detail the possible impact of the situation in Jinzhou on the Huangzhou General Administration Office, and also put forward a bold suggestion: divide the troops and attack the Chen army's grain and land, which is Xincai.
The reason for writing a letter to Yuwen Wen was that this matter was of great importance. If the Chen army took over Jinzhou, it might not be necessary to attack Hezhou in the north. It is very likely that the army would advance westward and join forces with the Chen army under Qichang City to besiege Qichang. In this way, the troops of the Huangzhou General Administration Office would be restrained in the direction of Qizhou.
As the saying goes, if the troops attack Xincai, burn the food and grass of Chen's army, it can dismantle the Chen army's future offensive in advance. Of course, if this plan is implemented, the risk is not small, so Zhou Fashang volunteered. If he could make a move, he would personally lead his army to Xincai.
Yuwen Wen read the letter and knew that the situation was urgent, so he rushed to Huangzhou overnight to report to his superior, the chief manager of Huangzhou Deng Xiaoru and do the "work". Although he was unrestrained, he still understood the basic official morality. No matter what, General Deng was the superior of him and Zhou Fashang. It would be bad if he bypassed the other party and "unable to provoke borders".
He and Zhou Fashang are not the Showa staff officers of the East. They cannot ignore the overall situation all day in order to make contributions. If they really want to divide their troops to attack Xin Cai, the consequences will be great. It is very likely that they will be a whole body. Although Yuwen Wen has already "grouped" with Zhou Fashang to pull the project and brush the dungeon, there is still a view of the overall situation.
He rushed to Huangzhou Prefecture and was turned away overnight. He finally entered the city and knocked on the gate of the general manager's mansion through investigation. Yuwen Wen struggled for a long time and spent a lot of talk and finally reached an understanding with General Manager Deng, obtained support and obtained a "permit" to send troops and negotiated the aftermath. Then he rushed back to Bazhou without stopping.
After arranging the relevant matters, he mobilized a unit of Hulin Army to Qichang, and then joined forces with Zhou Fashang to attack until now. Yuwen Wen couldn't sleep and became much haggard after a while. He thought he could lead the army to attack the formation, but he was treated as a "superior" bystanders, so he was indignant.
Just now, he accepted Zhou Sanlang and Zhou Faming's suggestion. The two led the guards to the north of Chenjun camp to wait for the rabbit to intercept the fish that had escaped. The defeated soldiers who ran out of the camp were their targets.
Of course, they were waiting outside to be too close to Xincai and the camp outside the city. If the archers at Xincai and the archery tower in the camp were "100 steps" to spread the archers. However, after waiting for a long time, they found that there were many fewer defeats in their expectations.
The granaries in the camp, which were like hills, had already lit up fires, and Xincai City was already full of fire. Not only Yuwen Wen, but also Zhou Faming could not sit still.
This time, he finally got his second brother to join the army to attack Xincai, but he did not expect that the guards would turn to stare at the Yuwen envoy beside him. Zhou Faming watched his comrades fight and how could he bear the happiness?
"Envoy Yuwen, could it be that the Lord Shi Jun killed all the people?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Although Chen Jun is weak, he won't wait for death, right?" Yuwen Wen said gritting his teeth, "Even pigs have to be caught for a long time, let alone a human being!"
Although he didn't say it out loud, he already regretted it: if he had known this, he would have agreed with Shi Wansui beforehand. Don't kill me, at least leave some scraps to make my stomach. I spent a lot of effort on my body and no matter how hard I had to eat bones, no matter how hard I had to eat soup!
The two of them were itchy when they heard the shouts of killing. Suddenly, the side door of Chen Jun camp opened and then many panicked soldiers came out. Yuwen Wen and Zhou Faming were overjoyed when they saw this: We are not a good match, nor can we rush to the battle, but it is always right to intercept and kill the defeated soldiers!
"Let's go, stop them!" Yuwen Wen said and rode his horse forward, Zhou Faming followed closely behind, and the cavalry beside them also ran to rush towards the defeated soldiers on the opposite side.
It takes a distance for the cavalry to speed up. It is best to wait until the defeated soldiers leave the camp and come to the wilderness to charge. Now all the conditions are basically met, so Yuwen Wen started to charge. The horse spear in his hand first looked up and saw the distance approaching.
Dozens of well-trained cavalrymen are more than enough to deal with you, the gang of mixed fish infantrymen!
Yuwen Wen put the horse spear flat and the war horse under his crotch began to accelerate. At this moment, he saw that the person chasing behind the Chen army's defeated soldiers had something wrong: the opponent's stance and cavalry were mixed, and the appearance of the entire cavalry on his own camp.
Wait, they are wearing yellow military uniforms! Huang Jun? I'm a Japanese devil?!
Yuwen Wen felt a fever and a stream of passion flowed into his heart, but then he came to his senses: yellow is the color of the Sui army uniform, the Sui army!!
Chapter completed!
