Chapter 152 Thunderous Drums of War
War must be a torment for those in the situation.
Zhao Cheng and his team were no exception, and they were terrified every step. Especially when they advanced into the stream and mountains with forty trembling recruits, the inevitable efficiency of good people card has exceeded.
They had memories of the past, but they just didn't quite understand why they were so angry. They made military orders like suicide squads, made bold words to serve the country, and followed Boss Zhao.
There is no joke in the army, and things cannot be changed now. And it has really approached the main force that ambushed Wang Xiu's troops. They can only feel the dense crowds of bandits in the dense forest ahead, and they don't know how many. If they are veterans of the Zhong Shidao Army, even if they cannot peek at the full picture of Wang Xiu's troops, they can still obtain a general combat power value through multiple observations and comparisons.
But these people, including Zhao Cheng, are recruits with mud legs, which is the lack of war technology!
Now, I am in a swamp and can't extricate myself.
"Sir, why don't we retreat? There are many thieves. Once our number is discovered, we will be done."
Now that the good guy card has passed, Chen Hao almost urinated his pants and whispered.
"Seeking wealth and honor in danger."
Zhao Cheng responded, "Continue to lurk in and observe, at least when the turbid oil on the east burns, see their movements."
"But we all use shovels and shovels, even if there is any change, it is difficult to achieve success." Chen Hao whispered.
Zhao Cheng said, "Chen Hao, you are twenty-five years old. At the beginning, you worked as a bricklayer, and later you raised pigs for people. When you were raising pigs to death, you were almost beaten and beaten and drove away by one leg by the master. Later, you also worked as a groom, feeding horses to Mr. Zhu's house, and you were also excluded and driven away by someone. When you were not working, you were caught and served on the construction site, and you almost broke your legs."
"So what are you going to say?" Chen Hao was extremely nervous.
"Your nobleman is me. As long as I become prosperous, your destiny will continue to change. If I want to become prosperous, I must continue to act. This is called the chain of interests and the party and the masses, and also called seeking wealth and honor in danger. I thought you knew these things."
Zhao Cheng continued to fool him.
Take this time now for example. These guys who have finally changed their lives because of Zhao Cheng should have taken two sips of wine in the city and carried their wives away from the bed sheets.
The unbalanced mentality is very strong, but the military order has been issued, so I can only blame this damn world.
The advantage is that Zhao Cheng is such a vulgar person, and now he is with everyone, the chance of living should be not small.
After thinking it through, Chen Hao began to quietly comfort his subordinates one by one: "Everyone bear it, the situation is developing towards a better side. After all, the wise and powerful masters have seen through the trends of the thieves. Our future comes from the masters, seeking wealth and danger. After experiencing this disaster, as long as the masters are prosperous, our lives will continue to change."
Only those who know how effective this has is, can't think about it anymore. As the people arranged for the fire to burn the east, the tranquility of the night was officially broken.
At this point, the bandits in the dense forest in front began to be restless on a large scale.
beep--
Soon, the military horn from the high places of the stream and hills was also sounded. Although Dong Ping was a stick, they were an imperial guards after all, and there would be a mechanism for prohibition. They would definitely gather when they saw the sky-sky fires in the distant plains.
"Sir, the horn of the Wuwei Army has sounded. In the dense forest ahead, Wang Xiu's troops were also restless due to this accident. Please instruct what to do!"
Chen Hao decisively asked for advice to himself.
"Continue to lurk, be calm and restless. Generally speaking, observation can solve all your questions. Learn a little. I don't teach them most people."
Zhao Cheng remained unmoved.
This is very good, and everyone was shocked by the scholar and their morale was high.
Basically, at critical moments, I am afraid that I will encounter people who command the military orders and charge blindly. There is nothing in this world that is better than living. Seeing Lord Zhao so vulgar and bold and meticulous, the new recruits will feel much more at ease.
Good birds and trees are selected. Zhao Cheng is a good tree they chose.
After observing again, Wang Xiu's troops, who had been restless for a while, suddenly became quiet in the dense forest again.
"Huh...they're not moving?"
Zhao Cheng's expression became strange. Logically speaking, after the fire in the east rose, it was not only equivalent to defeating Wang Xiu's army's conspiracy to set fire and assist, but also reminding Xishangang Wuwei Army.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.
Regardless of whether Wang Xiu really has the specific deployment of the Wuwei Army, and is alert and unprepared to be in a good state of great success, there is a fundamental difference for a war.
But Wang Xiu did not retreat in this situation. Zhao Cheng believed that there were only two possibilities: one was that he had absolute strength and was confident of eating Wuwei Army. Two: In addition to turmeric oil burning the mountain, Wang Xiu had other arrangements and could still fight Wuwei Army.
"This battle cannot be fought, Wang Xiu must have a trick."
After Zhao Cheng made this judgment, the first deployment was to send a person with fast legs and skillful legs to take Zhao Chenggongwen up the mountain as fast as possible, warning Dong Ping to guard the military camp tightly and not to act rashly.
This is a great risk, which may expose Zhao Cheng's position, or it may be that the communications soldiers sent were caught and chopped down if they could not break through.
But war is often a face-scanning existence. Zhao Cheng has a real premonition, and there will be something tricky if Wang Xiu's troops do not retreat. The main general determines the temperament and style of a unit. Dong Ping claims to be "constantly bumping". After receiving the warning, he has a considerable probability that he will take the main force to rush down the mountain with the help of the inertia of the high ground.
This is obviously his main purpose of deploying cavalry on the mountain...
This is not the first time that Dong Ping has encountered such a confused situation after working in the military for a long time.
At night, a fire appeared on the eastern plain without any warning. It was definitely not that the naughty children of the people were naughty. When watching the scale of the fire, it must be a situation where it was achieved with the help of hot tinder oil.
"It seems something happened. General, what should we do?"
Several commanders in the army asked for instructions at the same time.
Faced with this situation, General Dong Ping will always have a sense of presence and fulfillment.
I am afraid that I will not encounter any problems. Every time I encounter problems, I always feel excited and fulfilling when facing a small group of bandits or mountain people who are ignorant of the sky and the earth, leading well-equipped imperial guards to charge.
Unfortunately, this feeling is not common.
Now is a rare opportunity. Although the Wuwei Army has not been formally attacked, since there is a situation, it is appropriate to take the initiative to lead the army to inspect. If you really encounter bandits or mountain people who are active at night, you can also act as being attacked and take the initiative to kill them.
Anyway, scholars are prone to fooling each other, which is basically in line with the political logic of Huang Wenbing Tongzong.
Thinking of this, Dong Ping, who came out of the tent, quickly put on his armor and sent an order: "Leave the seventh battalion to guard Xishan, the second and third battalions, and follow the general to charge down the mountain!"
At the same time, a sweet female voice came from the tent: "General, please come back quickly, I am not satisfied yet."
Well... this is a prostitute who Dong Ping privately recruited and served from Chizhou City, but his subordinates had to pretend that they could not see and know the situation.
"Who is it a spy?"
Suddenly there was a shouting outside. In a blink of an eye, a soldier caught a young man wearing a policeman's clothing and carrying a shovel on his back. He was sent to Dong Ping in front of him.
"Zhou En, the Duke of Guichi County, was ordered by the county magistrate to come to the general to deliver a letter, and ask the general to check it out."
After kneeling down at the military salute, Zhou En handed over Zhao Cheng's handwritten letter.
When Dong Ping heard Zhao Cheng's name, he frowned and casually sorted out his precious armor, and said coldly, "I'm too lazy to see it when I'm leaving the army. Tell me briefly, what is he going to do?"
Zhou En said awkwardly: "Looking at the general's appearance, it seems that he is going to go down the mountain to go out?"
Dong Ping suddenly pulled out his waist and put it on Zhou En's neck and shouted coldly, "Do you have a head, dare to spy on my Wuweijun secret?"
Zhou En was so scared that his face was pale and shook his hands repeatedly, "General calm down. The brutal rank is not a spy. In fact, the big fire in the east was released by Lord Zhao Cheng of my family. The purpose was to remind the general to be vigilant. The situation in Chizhou had changed. In addition, we found that Wang Xiu's troops were deployed at the foot of the mountain, and the intention was unclear. My master was worried that the general would fall down the mountain and get a plan. He specially sent a brutal rank to send a letter to stop the general from going down the mountain to observe the change."
"Look at the changes!"
Dong Ping was furious when he heard this. Although he didn't use a knife, he kicked Zhou En to the ground. "That cowardly scholar had an affair with the counterfeit village. He clearly wanted to maintain stability, or to stop me from making meritorious contributions and prevent Huang Wenbing's grandson from making a move. His intentions were obvious. He didn't know how shameless he sent someone to stop me from sending troops? Since there were really bandits at the foot of the mountain and he was approaching the defense zone of the official army, it was a rebellion, how could he sit and watch!"
Zhou En is not his subordinate. As a public servant, he came to deliver letters and was treated like this by these soldiers. He almost burst into anger and wanted to leave. But thinking that Zhao Cheng was also a cruel official, he attached great importance to this matter.
So Zhou En had to patiently wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, and said again: "God relieve your anger! My master has always been wise. He judged it as follows in this situation: Since the trumpet of the Wuwei Army sounded and Wang Xiu's troops had not retreated, it means he was confident and could not send troops without knowing what Wang Xiu's confidence was, otherwise there would be a high probability of an accident!"
"I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick!"
Dong Ping put his waist on his neck again, "Then the yellow-haired scholar knew the alarmist words and did not understand the bullshit. When I went to the battlefield to kill the thieves, he didn't know where to be a fool. He clearly wanted to stop my Wuwei Army and stop Huang Wenbing's Chizhou bandit suppression strategy. Even this bandit was his man. Seeing that an accident might be wiped out by our troops, he would use a counterattack and delay the army?"
This made Zhou En feel that he was a scholar and could not explain it clearly to him. Seeing that Dong Ping had already ordered three cavalry battalions, one of which was equipped with a large number of divine arm crossbows.
Such elite troops gave Dong Ping a lot of confidence.
Zhou En simply was unreasonable and knelt down and almost cried: "Please calm down, Lord Zhao rarely makes mistakes in judgments. Please don't send troops. Lord Zhao took the risk of leading people in, lifting his head on his waist to get the judgment and information he obtained. If the small one is smashed, I can't eat good results."
Dong Ping was unmoved and only recognized the fact in his head, "I wanted to charge and spend money to see the opponent's trump card."
Just like a gambler who actually loses money every day, he actually feels that he will win like that every time he goes to the table, or that he cannot quit that exciting and unknown process.
Dong Ping hesitated for a while and waved his hand, "I have no choice but to imprison this birdman in the military camp, and I have no choice but to order this matter not to be promoted. Maybe he has Zhao Cheng's tricks and secrets."
He also said, "The thieves in Chizhou are crazy. I have strong soldiers and strong horses. I have been appointed by the imperial court to enter Chizhou to kill the thieves. Now the thieves are at the foot of the mountain. When I go to take Wang Xiu's head and come back to celebrate with you all, I am discussing the lawsuit that Zhao Chengtu drags down my Wuwei Army. With the support of Lord Huang Wenbing, this scholar will definitely not be able to eat good fruits!"
"Follow me and charge into battle!"
After saying that, the group boarded the horse, and the drums and thunder blew the sky.
One of the commanders under his subordinates looked strange and vaguely felt that General Dong was getting more and more crossing the line. If it were ordinary people, that would be fine. The man who held Zhao Cheng's official documents was detained by him. Since he had a judgment on military rules, it might not be a big problem. But this could easily lead to a political injustice.
Because of the rules of the Song Dynasty, the inspection of soldiers in this regard was so strict that it was perverted.
But he was helpless that Dong Ping had such virtues. His nickname in the army was really called "constant collision". He would not be able to listen to advice. Moreover, General Dong had the most unbeatable woman's obstacles. When encountering beauty, he was most likely to go to extremes to reduce his IQ. The commander knew very well that one of the major reasons why Dong Ping and Zhao Cheng could not get through was Cai Wenji.
"The general is brave, but his character has caused many political hidden dangers in Chizhou's strategy."
