Chapter 51: The Night Fight
——At midnight, the First Army of Guangling set foot in Luzhuang—
Luzhuang was originally a village with a wealthy family in the Lu family outside the Guangling River capital. There were only more than ten households in the entire village. Except for the Lu family, only tenants from the Lu family lived here. This article consists of... the first-run tenants revolve around the large family that hired them to settle in. It is not uncommon in the Han Dynasty.
However, at present, this place has become a temporary settlement of the First Army in Guangling and the last line of defense to resist the rebels.
"Will the rebels really come to attack at night? Fighting two wars a day, those people are so energetic, right?"
After a mound of earth bunker, Li Tong lay on his back against the blocks, with his hands on his pillows, feeling quite puzzled by the preparation order issued by the general entourage of the army. After all, during the day, the rebels had just conquered Pinqiao and fought with thunder to retreat about fifteen miles, although the defeat of the Guangling Army in Guangling was only a link to lure the enemy into depth after Shan Fu's explanation.
"This is the judgment of the general military ledger!"
Lu Min, who had just been promoted to Du Bo, frowned and looked at his strong subordinate, who seemed to feel dissatisfied with Li Tong's lack of attention at all.
Speaking of which, although the general Chen Qi seemed to have a lot of hostility towards the Twenty-Six Tents, for some reason he still promoted Lu Min's middle-level position in the army, and promoted from a squad leader who commanded a hundred people to a Du Bo who was in charge of three 100 people. He even transferred soldiers to make up for the organization. In other words, the number of soldiers that Lu Min can lead has reached 300, which is already a force that can play a key role in a small-scale battlefield.
"The judgment of the general military ledger..." Shan Fu lowered his head and murmured.
The general tent of the army refers to the command of an army, and in their Guangling First Army, it undoubtedly refers to the general Yang Qi. In other words, the order to guard against the rebels' night attack was issued by General Yang Qi.
[It seems that my judgment is accurate. General Yang Qi's tricks during the day were just to lure the rebels across the river. Moreover, most of the rebel generals also noticed this... If the rebels really came to attack at night... In other words, the rebels probably expected that a reinforcement army in our army was attacking behind them... What a keen battlefield intuition, he deserves to be the general who leads his soldiers!]
Shan Fu clenched his fists with some excitement. He thought that the generals of the two armies of our enemy were just like this, and they might not be better than him. However, the successive battles between Guangling General Yang Qi and rebel general Gong Feng forced him to admit that the intuition of those generals with rich experience in leading troops on the battlefield was far beyond the comparison of the novice like him, and behind the seemingly ordinary move, there was an extremely terrifying fatal murderous intent.
"Zhi Lu... can really decide the victory or defeat of the war?" Shan Fu's eyes were absent for a moment, and a man with a stern expression couldn't help but jump up in his mind.
[Warriors stop at the enemy of ten thousand people; while wise men hide 100,000 armored soldiers...]
[The courage of an ordinary man is invincible to the civil and military strategy...]
The man's teachings appeared one by one in Shan Fu's heart. Although Shan Fu did not want to admit it, his personal experience was enough to prove that the teachings of the teachers he once disdained were indeed the truth in this world.
but……
"Would you rather be able to be brilliant and talented than to show the world to help the people?" A sneering sneer appeared on the corner of your mouth, and Shan Fu murmured to himself.
[The case said: It was not the right time!]
"I'm foolish!" Shan Fu curled his lips again.
"..." beside Shan Fu, Zhang Huang looked at Shan Fu, who was obviously distracted, muttering something, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Da Fu?"
Awakened by Zhang Huang's words, Shan Fu shook his head slightly, took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "I don't know why, I suddenly remembered the enlightenment teacher who taught me my studies when I was in Yingchuan."
"A teacher who teaches the profession?" Li Tong suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "Why have you never seen me mention it? Is it famous? I heard that all the scholars in Yingchuan are very famous."
Shan Fu pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
"I don't know very well..."
"What! You don't even know whether your teacher is famous? You are a student." Li Tong curled his lips speechlessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dubo Lu Min's humble roar came not far away.
"Silence!"
Li Tong closed his mouth in a bad mood, while Shan Fu lowered his head slightly, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face.
[Famous? That is a man called "The Eight Dragons of Xun's Family, Ciming Wushuang"! How can a single sentence reflect the talent and reputation of that man? Just...]
Shan Fu looked up at the night sky.
[Looking for yourself, planning for the master, and then planning for the world... Master Xun, I still can't understand your words!]
"..." Zhang Huang looked at Shan Fu silently without interrupting rashly. After all, he could see that Shan Fu was not willing to reveal this thought.
"Here you come!" Dubo Lumin's whisper awakened the bored people.
[Come?]
Zhang Huang, who was tense at the first time, leaned his whole body to the ground, squinted his eyes and looked into the darkness, and saw a vague wave of figures sweeping in the darkness in the distance.
[General Yang Qi guessed it!]
Shan Fuyi gathered his mind again, and suddenly, his eyes changed slightly.
[Isn't it a sneak attack, but a strong attack?!]
Just as Shan Fu was shocked, a shocking shout of killing suddenly came from the darkness in the distance, as if the rebel soldiers didn't care at all that the loud noise would alarm the soldiers in Luzhuang. Or in other words, they had known for a long time that the Guangling Army would definitely be on guard tonight, so they did not consider whether to sneak into the village quietly.
"Damn it, I was put on one!"
Chen Qi, the deputy general who was commanding the war here, immediately jumped out of the ambush pit dug on both sides, waved the weapons in his hand and shouted, "All members will fight! The archers retreated fifty steps to form a formation, Lu Min's team, block the village gate!"
Let me ask, what is the difference between sneak attack and strong attack?
The answer is force!
Although General Yang Qi had already expected the rebels to invade Luzhuang tonight, he miscalculated the response of the rebel general Gong Feng. He never expected that Gong Feng would suppress all the 10,000 troops in his hand, which made the Guangling Army, who had originally wanted to fight an ambush battle, make a huge joke.
"What's going on? Isn't Gong Feng a very careful and cautious person? How could he suddenly suppress all his troops?!" Wang Zhuo, the uncle chief, who had been transferred to Lu Min's command, shouted in surprise.
That's right, judging from the previous few confrontations, the rebel general Gong Feng was obviously not a gambler-like general and would never put all the eggs in the same basket. Therefore, Yang Qi judged that Gong Feng would only send up 3,000 to 5,000 troops to sneak attack Luzhuang this time, but Yang Qi still had nearly 3,000 troops. In addition, the Guangling Fang Yi army, which had been placed in the Luzhuang area before, said no exaggeration that the Guangling army would not be much less than the rebels. If the ambush the rebels successfully took the lead, it would not be impossible to wipe out the 3,000 troops.
However, Gong Feng unexpectedly invested all his troops, just like a gambler who was in a loss. This caused the small army of the deputy general Chen Qi to ambush the rebels to suffer losses, and he had to re-summon some of the troops sent out to ambush from all over Luzhuang to prevent Yang Qi from being defeated by the enemy's absolute military advantage.
"Is this called shooting myself in the foot?" Seeing the general Chen Qi in the distance, Li Tong laughed, snatched the spear from the hands of the soldiers beside him, and regardless of his dull expression, he rushed towards the village gate first.
"Don't gloat the grasshopper on the same rope!" Zang Ba and Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and followed Li Tong.
"We'll go too!" Zhang Huang, who was very sorry that he was not promoted with Lu Min's promotion, ignored his just a leader, and issued a counterattack order in front of three uncles and even the Duwang Lu Min, which made Wang Zhuo, who was standing aside, obviously stunned for a moment.
"This..." Wang Zhuo, the eldest son, looked at his friend Lu Min with a strange expression. It was obvious that the expression on the latter's face was stiff.
[The little brat... I don't know how to save some face for Uncle Ben in front of the three uncles...]
Lu Min smacked his lips. He knew that since Zhang Huang and others were in front of him, there should be no problem in command. So he raised his arms and shouted, "General Chen Qi's Qujun, come here to gather!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang came from the village gate in the distance. The seemingly solid village gate obviously could not stop the offensive of ten thousand rebels, and even if it was a moment, it would not be possible. More than a dozen strong rebel soldiers collided and knocked the entire door away.
"Very good!" A rebel chief saw that the village easily conquered the village, and his face showed excitement and joy, raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, come in..."
At this moment, his voice stopped abruptly, and an arrow pierced through his head, and the blood-bleached object that splashed out made the rebel soldiers around him stunned.
They subconsciously looked in the direction where the arrows were flying, but saw a young man who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old standing in front of the Guangling soldier formation, holding a long bow in his hand, slowly lowering his right hand that was pulling his bow.
"Well done, Ziyi!"
Li Tong didn't have to think that this was done by Taishi Ci. After all, in such a dim environment, only Taishi Ci, who is proficient in bows and lies in a way that can be done by shooting an enemy chieftain so accurately with a bow. This guy's bow skills are far more accurate and terrifying than gun skills.
"Damn it! Kill--!"
A rebel chief general replaced the unlucky person who was shot dead by Taishi Ci with a bow and arrow and issued an order to attack the rebel soldiers behind him. For a moment, the rebel soldiers who were shocked by Taishi Ci's archery skills came back to their senses and waved their weapons into the village. However, what was greeted were Zhang Huang, Zang Ba, Li Tong, Chen Dao, Taishi Ci and other powerful elite soldiers, as well as Du Bo Lu Min and three subordinate chief generals.
"Ahhh! Ahhhh! Ahhh!"
Li Tong, who was waving his spear, was simply a terrifying weapon of killing. This guy broke into countless rebels alone, but saw the guns full of guns, and the rebel soldiers who were killing him were all shot away by heavy iron guns, either dead or injured.
Because the scene was too terrifying, even the soldiers of Guangling Army on their own dared not get too close, so as not to knock out all their own people by clearly not being able to win the guns of our opponents.
"What a strong arm strength!"
Bo Chang Wang Zhuo's eyes lit up, and just as he spoke a heartfelt admiration, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Dao's figure.
In contrast to Li Tong's overbearing and fierce path, Chen Dao was like a shadow following him. He saw that among countless rebel soldiers, he swung his spears and killed several rebels. What was even more incredible is that while holding a gun in one hand, he also held a short sword in his left hand, killing those who took the opportunity to attack him one by one.
The tricky attack and quick skills, this kind of battle that is not like a ranger who fights on the battlefield, is amazing to Wang Zhuo.
Compared with Li Tong and Chen Dao, Zang Ba's battle seems much more regular. He is actually not inferior to Li Tong in destructive power, but he is steady and attacks with his own soldiers, so he is not as outstanding as Li Tong.
Putting aside Shan Fu, the pure commander at present, Zhang Huang's performance is probably the most appropriate. He just led the soldiers behind him to frequently attack the weak areas of the enemy's troops. The sword in his right hand was not stained with blood several times, but Du Bo Lu Min was extremely satisfied with him. After all, Zhang Huang had excellent roles in guiding the team and had achieved what a military officer of the Du Bo level should do on the battlefield, which was to command and guide the soldiers under him so that they would not be confused and confused.
Of course, if he had to stand up, Zhang Huang would naturally be no other person. Just like the rebel Bo Chang who jumped out to block his team's way, he was killed by Zhang Huang in just one round. The speed and strength of his sword greatly increased the morale of the soldiers behind him.
"You don't even use your rigid body? Are you underestimating the enemy?"
While the morale behind him were raising his arms and shouting, Zhang Huang saw the rebel general who had been killed and killed under the sword just now in a daze, wondering why this guy didn't use his rigid body.
Lu Min, who had killed by him, noticed Zhang Huang's muttering and said angrily, "Do you think that as long as you are a uncle, everyone will be strong?"
Zhang Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the chief of the rank like Lu Min who had mastered the rigid body was the local elite county lieutenant and chief lieutenant carefully selected by the old governor Zang Min from various counties in Yangzhou. Their strength was completely different from that of the chief of the rebel army.
It is no wonder that Taishi Ci shot a rebel chief with an arrow before the war. It was not easy for the other party to easily do so. The problem is that the other party does not have a rigid body at all, so how can he use it?
"It seems that the rebels are too powerful?"
Zhang Huang, who realized something, showed a smile on his face. Thinking about it, how can the foundation of a small Kuaiji County be compared with the entire Yangzhou?
Li Tong, Taishi Ci, Zang Ba and Chen Dao, who were rushing forward, seemed to have realized this. After realizing that the enemy's boss did not have mastered the rigid body as they imagined, they gradually let go of their hands and feet when fighting. After all, an enemy who cannot have rigid body, even if the military rank is as high as Bo Chang and Du Bo, what are you afraid of?
It is hard to imagine that the rebels, who clearly have an absolute advantage in numbers, could not open up the situation even when facing many elite Duma, led by the deputy general Chen Qi, which gradually embarrassed the faces of several generals in the rebels.
Suddenly, Zhang Huang and others felt that the light in front of them dimmed, and a strong man who was more than nine feet tall opened up and blocked their way. The burly figure of Zhang Huang, the soldiers in the entire team couldn't help but tremble slightly. Especially when they saw the strong man grab the head of a Guangling soldier with his huge palm and squeeze it out in the air.
[Well……]
Zhang Huang was stunned. He could not imagine that there was such a tall man in the world. He was definitely not as short as he could reach the other side, and he was probably only able to reach his waist.
"This body shape...is a foul?"
Seeing the strong man swung the iron spear as thick as his arm and swept away more than a dozen Guangling soldiers effortlessly with just one sweep. Zhang Huang felt a little bitter in his mouth.
"Shoot the arrow! Use this guy's huge body as a target...Shoot the arrow!" Wang Zhuo, the uncle chief who had been stealing the limelight for a long time behind Zhang Huang, finally showed his qualities as a uncle chief, and immediately thought of the best way to deal with it.
But……
"Ding Ding Ding Ding--"
A series of jingles sounded on the strong man. When he put down his hands covering his face, the soldiers of the Guangling Army were shocked to find that their enemies were completely unscathed under the rain of arrows.
"Sure enough..." Zhang Huang smiled bitterly, because before that, he had already sensed the other party's strength from the other party's surging aura.
"Whoa whoa--"
This almost manifested scene caused the morale of the rebel soldiers around to rise instantly, and many rebel soldiers waving their weapons and shouting loudly.
"I am worthy of being General Yuan Han!"
"Go ahead, General Yuan Han, once again lead us to step through the enemy's corpse..."
The shouts that followed made Zhang Huang's eyes twitch slightly.
[General... Army?]
