Chapter 26 Deployment

On September 13, Zhu Youyu led his troops to the north of Zhongmu County and set up camp outside the city.

The south wind is whistling, and the city is in absolute position.

Zhu Youyu looked at the dilapidated Zhongmu County and suddenly had an illusion: One day, Bianzhou was also so broken, and countless soldiers climbed bravely. The sound of killing inside and outside the city shook the sky, and fire and blood covered the field.

He pressed this strange Niansi, stared at the sergeant running on the city wall, and ordered camping.

The soldiers did everything numbly, just as they watched Bianliang's strength weaken day by day.

Many people don’t know why they are still insisting. Bianzhou is not their home, nor are they like the soldiers in Yun, Yan, Wei, and Qing. The father and son have been passed down for a hundred years, eating military meals from generation to generation, enjoying a lofty status and generous rewards.

Maybe it's for the money and food.

When a soldier eats food and works hard, the general gives money, so he fights hard. Could it be that if others give a lot of money, they will turn against him on the spot?

Well, it’s not impossible. But how to say that if you can’t get rid of your conscience in doing this kind of thing, you can’t have no limit on it. Perhaps the next generation of warriors will become unconventional, but they don’t plan to do this.

King Liang can still give rewards, they can support their families, live a life, and hold this knife firmly.

Cai Songyang was dressed in the outfit of an ordinary soldier, with a Shu shirt, a slave, a forehead wiping, a bow tip and a horizontal knife around his waist, and a stair spear in his hand, looking carefully at the city.

According to the information found by Liang Ren, he was still attacking the sour jujube in Huazhou. He didn't want to show up on his own initiative and scare away the thieves who had finally attracted.

"There are many bandit soldiers in Liang, 10,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 rural brave men. But if you want to take Zhongmu with this little man, it's still a little short of it." Cai Songyang carefully looked at Liang's camp from behind the female wall and said.

There are three thousand infantrymen and five hundred cavalrymen in the city. If they defend well, Zhu Youyu and others will have to pay a considerable price even if they break the city.

"Military envoy, what if the Liang people can't capture the city and turn around and leave?" someone asked.

"This is a problem." Cai Songyang withdrew his gaze and said, "Everyone is willing to follow the military order and do not leave the city to fight, and they are not allowed to do so once. They are posing as a desperate defense, which makes them feel that we are very scared."

In fact, most of the people deployed on the city are weak soldiers, and the strong men and women in the city are mobilized. All the elite soldiers and generals are hiding under the horses and can go to the city to support them at any time.

If the Liang soldiers tried to attack fiercely, they would find that it was not difficult to fight and might have hoped that the city would be broken.

There is no doubt that this is a trap. There is always hope to break the city, but it will never break the city until their retreat is cut off and they become turtles in the jar.

"It would be a pity not to go out of the city to fight."

"It is the most annoying to defend the city. It is better to fight in a field and kill your life and death."

"Can these strong men and women be able to do it? If they collapse and the bandits are put on the top of the city, and we are not able to rush down, wouldn't that be a mistake?"

"If you want me to tell me, what if you let the Liang thief occupy Zhongmu? It's better to leave an empty city for them. By then, Zhu Youyu would be even more reluctant to run away and just surrounded him to death."

The generals and schools were talking and laughing.

"Shut up." Cai Songyang rebuked and emphasized again: "You must not leave the city to fight. Those who dare to disobey their orders will be executed immediately without mercy."

"Affect the order." Everyone smiled and whispered in a low voice.

There is a risk of fighting when going out of the city, that is, you may be captured by thieves. Once the torture is put on, you cannot survive or die. Then you will be able to take anything?

After Zhu Youyu learned of the information, he was afraid that he would retreat immediately. With the more than 3,000 soldiers in Zhongmu City, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep a few thieves.

"Beware of it at night, don't let people touch it without knowing it." Cai Songyang gave another command and then got off the city.

*******

The hazy moon emerged from the clouds, and the orange light spread across the earth, and the grass and trees were covered with a layer of phosphorescence.

The air was a little damp, and the soil mixed with dew had an indescribable smell.

Qian Dalang hid in the grass and did not dare to come from his family.

God is pitiful to see that he just came out to steal a sheep. Why did so many people come to catch him?

Teams of soldiers are endless, all over the mountains and fields.

They were wearing brown military uniforms, with their left hand on the hilt of the knife, and their right hand swayed forward and backward. They moved very quickly and walked out far away in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! How many soldiers are there? Why haven't they finished yet?" Qian Dalang cursed in his heart, but he was lying in the grass and did not dare to move.

A mosquito landed on his neck, sucking blood happily. Qian Dalang endured it silently and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The carriage drove by.

The car was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous supplies. Qian Dalang also went to battle and took a secret glance and knew that it was arrows, food, spear blades, bowstrings and other things.

"Go away, go there!" Qian Dalang silently said in his heart: "When I was not a deserter, I went to Neihuang to attack the Wei soldiers and marched forty miles in one night. You should go quickly!"

But there were too many people, which almost made Qian Dalang collapse.

It’s time to pass 10,000 people? Why haven’t you finished it? It seems that there is a second one and a third one, “10,000”.

Who the hell is this? Has the Xia Zhe stabbed the Xia Zhe's nest? He has attracted so many soldiers! Or is it Zhu Quanzhong right in front, and hundreds of thousands of Xia Zhe's thieves rushed over to catch people and receive rewards?

After the convoy passed, another team of cavalry came.

The riders held the war horses without looking sideways. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn.

For some reason, Qian Dalang remembered that when he was chatting in the army, someone talked about An Lushan's night patrol of Tian Chengsi's military camp. The soldiers of Tian's army were not aware of it in advance, but after the superiors' surprise inspection, they immediately put on armor and stood still in the heavy snow. An Lushan named him according to the book, and there were many.

When these Xia soldiers marched, no one complained or spoke, and their troops were purged and looked calm. At first glance, they were old warriors who fought all year round. It was common for the wind and sand to eat ice and snow to lie down. Marching late at night was a piece of cake.

For some reason, Qian Dalang suddenly wanted to cry.

The leader of the team died and he ran away. He hid until now, and it was difficult to go back to home. Not to mention drinking and eating meat, he even had no meals for the whole meal. He wanted to eat meat so he could have the strength to see it at night.

Qian Dalang looked down at the lamb in his arms, moved his body quietly, trying to slowly rub into the woods behind him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, there were a few big hands like iron clamps on his arms and shoulders, pressing him tightly.

"I just see how long you can bear it. Good boy, I've been lying here for the middle of the night, motionless, very powerful." Someone laughed.

It's broken! I was caught by the Ranger! Qian Dalang was so scared that his souls were all rising and begging for mercy.

Wang Jianji, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, rode a horse by the way. After hearing the report from the soldiers, he laughed: "The sheep thief is so unlucky. Ask him where the village is and call everyone over. If he can play in front of the formation, it may not be a way out."

After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and went forward again.

The walking cavalry looked at Wang Jianji with envy. The officers were many. Not to mention war horses, there were more than one horse riding, unlike them, and they had to lead horses and walk.

"General Wang." Li Lin, the commander of the left wing, actually led his horse and walked. When he saw Wang Jianji coming from afar, he immediately bowed.

"Sometimes I really envy you. Is it the second time I fought the Changzhi Army?" Wang Jianji got off the horse and said with a smile.

"I beat Kou Yanqing last time, and I won't be careless when I beat Zhu Youyu this time." Li Lin said indifferently.

He remembered the battle south of Luoyang.

The fight was so fierce. The enemy was so tough. Less than 7,000 people, and half of them were killed or injured before surrendering. If Kou Yanqing had not died and Hu Zhen had escaped, there would probably be some more fights.

The Tianxiong Army of the Department of Martial Arts encountered such a strong opponent for the first time. I don’t know how many classmates who were full of energy died in the wind and snow in Luoyang.

They could have been ten generals, commanders, soldiers, and military commanders, but everything was over and their lives were frozen in that cold night.

"This time, we will settle the accounts with the Changzhi Army." Li Lin subconsciously stroked his left hand on the hilt of the knife.

The 30,000 Tianxiong Army has high morale and high spirits. Who can compete in this world? The Changzhi Army is not good, and the Tielin Army and the Wuwei Army are only worthy of carrying shoes.

Kill, kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him, and kill him, and kill him.

*******

Outside the Weishi County, the siege continued at night.

The Jianrui Army and the Zhongwu Army had more than 10,000 people, and led 20,000 Chen Xu's men to attack the city walls with sacrificing their lives.

Hot golden juice flowed down the wall, and the screams of siege soldiers almost ran through the night sky.

Zhang Yun felt a little reluctant and wanted to speak but stopped.

Guo Shaobin looked cold and ordered his personal soldiers to shoot arrows, knocking all the soldiers back to the ground.

"General Zhang, it's not my cruelty." Guo Shaobin sighed and said, "Let me ask you, after the Battle of Xuzhou, King Xia captured more than 60,000 soldiers. Can he save the military ranks? How many surrendered soldiers are there in his troops?"

"Just like the government, you will be the army and our firm army." Zhang Yun replied.

"Isn't that right?" Guo Shaobin said: "If you can have this end, just have a secret joy. So far, Ge Congzhou, Zhang Shensi, Kang Yanxiao, Dai Siyuan and other surrendered generals have one who can lead the army? We still have the army, and we still have the opportunity to make contributions. It is unknown if we have made military achievements and sending the military governors in the town. Even if the military governor cannot be the governor, what about the defense commander? Ding Hui is already the governor of Qizhou, so we should also encourage him."

Ding Hui was originally a Jiedushi, but he was an official in the "former dynasty" and was not counted. The Defense Envoy was a position in the "New dynasty" and was full of gold. The Central Plains was a matter of affairs, and the Defense Envoy was like the governor. He was the local emperor in the local area. Strictly speaking, it was much better than the famous Jiedushi.

"The military envoy's words are reasonable. I also know that, but the battle was too bad. It is not necessarily enough to make up for all the three thousand people from Ma Zhi." Zhang Jun sighed.

The horse was temporarily recruited by Qiezhang in Bozhou and Suzhou. After the Feilong Army returned to Anyi, the horse was incorporated into the Xuzhou camp and became a de facto supplementary soldier.

"Don't think too much. King Xia said, let's fight as much as you die." Guo Shaobin said: "You'd better prepare hay quickly and horse feed. I'll take charge here."

"Okay." Zhang Yun nodded.

The hay and beans were prepared for the Iron Cavalry. They would arrive at the camp in two days, but they were not here to assist in the war, but headed to the north to Bianzhou.

Zhang Yun knew that the more than 8,000 cavalry of the Iron Cavalry was a powerful force, and it was logical that Zhezong could not let them go. The only way to transfer these arrogant uncles was the order issued by King Xia himself.

He thought for a moment and roughly understood their goal: either go to Soyzao and cooperate with the siege army to surround the site to fight for assistance; or go to Zhongmu and Bajiao Town, waiting for an opportunity to raid the Liang army who came out of the city to rescue, just as they defeated Zhu Youlun in the Weishi and beheaded more than 3,000 levels.
