Chapter 309: Qian Feng's Worries
The leader was very reluctant to charge indiscriminately. For an old guy who had lived in the mountains for decades, the most important thing in mountain warfare was patience and concealment. Sometimes he had to stay awake for a long time just to capture a ferocious beast. Moreover, those people in front were his tribesmen, the backing of his strength, and the most basic conditions for him to have an equal dialogue with Shen Chong. How could they be wasted in vain? But Shen Chong's cold eyes forced him to respond, thinking After thinking for a while, he casually said: "General, why don't we wait? We have just arrived, and we haven't even set up a camp. We have a long time to come, so why not establish a position first? In my opinion, there is no need to rush for a while. !”
Shen Chong's anxious throat seemed to be filled with smoke, and the leader of Shanyue looked wilted. He really wanted to strangle this dark and thin old guy to death! However, the remaining rays of reason told him He couldn't push too hard. After all, he only had a cooperative relationship with Shanyue and was invited, and his own subordinates were far less effective in the jungle than Zhengzong Shanyue.*
Shen Chong suppressed his anger, softened his expression slightly, and said kindly: "Don't worry, I will never go back on what I promised you. In addition to gold and silver, if you can catch the thief named Yun, I will give you the money." The Prime Minister's promise to recommend you as the prefect of the county remains unchanged. I will send you twenty singers and dancers. They are all newly trained by the general. They are young and beautiful. They are all virgins. They are good at singing and dancing in bed. I originally planned to give you to the Prime Minister. I'll offer it as a congratulatory gift on the day of deposing Sima Shao, forget it, it's all cheap for you!"
The leader immediately moved his index finger! Shen Chong's manor was located in Qianxi (now Zhongguan Township, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province). The singing and dancing girls he raised were famous all over the world. There were hundreds of them, all of whom were as beautiful as flowers. He also composed "Qianxi Song" The seven songs were sung by the singing and dancing girls, making Qianxi, a small place, famous among the upper-class scholars in Jiangdong. This wizened, thin, black old guy had long coveted it.
Secretly swallowing his saliva, the leader remained calm on the surface, but hesitantly said: "General, you are too polite. In fact, I came to help you because of your decades of kindness to our mountain people. These gold and silver are just for the livelihood of the tribe, this song and dance girl..." The leader's mouth twitched. He hesitated for a moment, and then nodded heavily as if he had made a big decision: "That's fine, since the general It’s not beautiful to reject it, but after Yunfeng is captured, I will take it back and distribute it to the meritorious clan members!”
Shen Chong was secretly glad that he had been marching all the way and didn't have time to have breakfast. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he would have vomited on the spot. This is such a hypocritical and disgusting old guy! He cursed in his heart and managed to squeeze it out on his face. A smile crossed his hands: "It's so hard work!"
The leader suppressed his joy and responded with a salute: "Please don't worry, general!" After saying that, he ran to the front of the formation, chattering in a burst of dialect!
Although Yunfeng and others in the woods did not understand, Shanyue heard clearly that this was urging them to march. They couldn't help but look at each other. Without a clear understanding of the enemy's situation, blindly advancing blindly was tantamount to seeking death. However, The clan leader was determined to die. Even though he knew the odds were against him, he had to bite the bullet and rush forward. He gritted his teeth and leaned out from the hiding place without caring. He fired several arrows forward, and a burst of arrows flew in random directions. Afterwards, he yelled and rushed out.
The invigorating cry of killing came again, and Shen Chong nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, on the Stone City, Wang Dun, Wang Han and Qian Feng were standing side by side. They also set their sights on Baidang Lake not far away.
Wang Dun's army arrived at Stone City late last night, and immediately set up camp overnight near Houzhu Gate, five miles southeast of Stone City. It is on the north bank of the intersection of the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River, and four miles away is the southwest corner of the palace city. After a night of busy work, the camp has been built. But Wang Dun was not busy attacking the palace city. Firstly, the soldiers were marching in a hurry and needed a rest. Secondly, Su Jun and Liu Xia were stationed at the foot of the Shogunate Mountain to the north of Jiankang. He had a large camp with 10,000 and 20,000 soldiers each, and Xi Jian's troops in Jingkou also had more than 10,000. He had to solve his worries. However, he sent the navy out to capture Jiangcheng, Guabu, and Jingkou Ferry to prevent Ancestor made an appointment to cross the river to help.
At present, Wang Dun's total military strength, excluding the naval forces dispatched abroad and Shen Chong's Shanyue Army, totals 85,000. On the court side, there are 20,000 forbidden troops, 30,000 armed refugees, and more than 10,000 Xi Jianjingkou troops. There are more than 10,000 county soldiers and royal clan troops distributed in the satellite fortress, totaling nearly 80,000 people. Although the ancestors have 50,000 soldiers, it is hard to say whether they can cross the river to help. There is no way, Wang Dun has a naval force. , can easily block the ferry river. What's more, the division commander only asked him to capture Shouchun, but did not order him to cross the river.
Generally speaking, there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, but Wang Dun still has a considerable advantage. He has 10,000 cavalry in his hand. Except for Shen Chong's troops, all of them are Jingzhou soldiers. The infantry also come from a variety of sources and belong to multiple forces.
The distance of fifteen miles was not far, and strange screams from the direction of Baidang Lake reached his ears. Wang Dun stared at it for a moment, then turned around and asked: "Shiyi, Shen Chong is really anxious. It's a new arrival for even the camp." How can General Yun be so eager to attack without attacking? I'm a little worried, tell me, Shen Chong may succeed in revenge this time?"
Qian Feng thought for a while and said: "Feng and Shiju (Chinese cousin Shen Chong) are from the same hometown. Although they had never met before joining the prime minister, they knew each other quite well. Shiju was heroic, loyal, and had a long history of martial arts. But it was just Looking at General Yun, Feng was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that General Yun had experienced more than ten battles, and had won all the battles. His ability and vision were unparalleled. However, he moved to a place of death like Baidang Lake. , on the one hand, he came from a desperate retreat, and on the other hand, he gave up the mobility of the cavalry. Could it be that he was temporarily confused? Or was there another reason? Feng Zeng studied him carefully, and the first point should be ignored, and this person is good at taking advantage of the situation. He was good at attacking with unexpected troops. Since he dared to set up a stronghold to the death, he should be confident. However, Feng still couldn't figure out what General Touyun relied on.
Judging from the current situation, although the personal guards led by General Yun are brave and good at fighting, their lack of numbers is his fatal weakness. There are only less than 5,000 people, while Shiju leads 13,000 people and various siege equipment. Quan Quan. Feng believed that the key to this battle was whether Shiju could maintain his composure. All of Shiju's subordinates were loyal soldiers. If he could withdraw his troops in time without advancing rashly and set up a camp, the soldiers could regain their mental strength and fight steadily. , looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow, there should be a 70% chance of winning. Otherwise, I'm afraid the prospect is not good. If you are eager for revenge and fall into General Yun's scheme, the outcome will be 50-50 at most. Therefore, Feng has a suggestion. Please pass it on to the Prime Minister immediately. With the order, Shen Chong is ordered to withdraw his troops and rest."
