"Then... we don't have to spend time training them, we can just pull them up and fight them?" Maverick said, pouting. Seeing that Yang Careless didn't understand, he told the captives in Nanshan what they had done before. "Sitian" he said.
After hearing this, Yang Dayi was surprised at first, and then said with a smile: "This is a good idea. It is indeed a good idea to arouse their dissatisfaction and fighting spirit before going into battle.
However, when things get tough, the approach can change. For example, if you don't have time to sit around, can you gather together and talk? If it's too hasty, you don't need to talk too much, just make the truth clear. In short, just let them share the same enemy.
As for the form, it depends on the environment. After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you all to think about such a thing. People grow up quickly on the battlefield!"
Don't worry, I will be flexible. So, where to take them to gather? Where to get weapons? "
"Oh, I'll take you to see Mr. Bas. He and the leaders are collecting weapons right now!"
After saying that, Song Xiaoniu took him to introduce him to Master Ba and Gosanlang one after another. When he saw the five leaders, he also introduced: "This Coach Yang was once an officer and soldier, and he has come to temporarily serve as the commander of your battalion."
Everyone was surprised when they heard that it was a hundred households, and hurriedly came over to see the gift.
Song Xiaoniu pointed to a short-bearded young man with piercing eyes and said, "This is Brother Xinmao, whom I mentioned to you just now."
"Xinchi has met your lord!"
"No courtesy." Yang Dayi stretched out his hand to lift the other person's arm, feeling some strength, and a trace of surprise flashed in Xin Chi's eyes. The two smiled knowingly at each other.
At this time, someone was heard shouting: "Look, there's a fire upstream!" Everyone came out quickly and looked in the direction of everyone's fingers.
A piece of fire appeared from behind the barren ridge, making the sky crimson. Master Ba said quietly: "It is probably Mr. Zhu who burned Dayuandu."
"Why do you want to burn it?" Yang Dayi asked.
"We must prevent Dayuan's defenders from crossing the river, otherwise they will push straight into Fengling Town from behind the mountain, and our retreat will be cut off." Song Xiaoniu said while pointing with his fingers. Yang Dayi had experienced The people in the battle formation immediately understood.
"So Yang Baihu, Dayuan Ferry is very important. After your troops received weapons and dry food, they immediately gathered west of Shangban Ferry, and then went north along the river bank to reinforce Ma Jiu. Do you two know each other?"
Master Ba said: "The troops on his side have been drained. If the other side uses rafts to land desperately, it will be difficult for him to resist with less than 200 people."
"Okay! I'll set off as soon as possible!" Yang Dayi is worthy of being a frontier soldier, and he works vigorously and resolutely. He turned around and summoned his five leaders. After a brief communication with them, he divided the five hundred people into four teams, each with about a hundred people.
Let Xin Chi be his deputy and the leader of the first team, and Liao Sanqing be the deputy team leader.
Zhou Tu (who was good at archery) served as an officer in the Central Military Commission and led an archery team of dozens of people. Yang Dayi himself selected fifteen personal soldiers to deliver orders and a few sentinels, and named the battalion Guiyi Camp.
The fire in the north was a little weaker, and Yang Dayi led the temporarily organized 500 people to the north along the river for reinforcements.
On the way, he was surprised to see a boat passing by on the river. Yang Dali didn't know that it was the boat that Zhu Erye had snatched and was transporting the teams of Tan Zhongxiao and Liu She (Tie Linglong). He thought it was the enemy who wanted to go south for reinforcements. Maybe they have already started to cross the river, so hurry up and hurry everyone on their way.
Only when they met Ma Jiu and others did they realize that it was a misunderstanding.
"You came at the right time! Let me tell Mr. Zhu that we will send your troops across the river when Tan and Liu have passed." After Ma Jiu finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Dayi, who was being held by his own soldiers behind him. Blue and white horse: "This horse looks familiar."
"Oh, the one I rode here was left behind by Mavericks. This one was said to have been captured from some third general."
"No wonder!" Ma Jiu was happy. It turned out that it was her nephew who was flattering Yang Dayi with his fancy-armed mount. "Don't worry, there are enough boats! We'll find a big boat later and ask them to help you ferry the horses across!"
"But, they said you were short of manpower, so they asked me to bring these people as reinforcements?"
"The cripple is fine, don't worry!" Ma Jiu waved her hand: "Master Zhu and the others burned the pier with oil, and they rebelled against the repairmen for a while.
not good.
Besides, the boat was basically stolen by us. Hey, how many people can come over on the bamboo rafts on the other side? I have enough manpower to deal with them! ” He pointed with his finger and said:
"On the other hand, Luodun is more important! After the crisis in the south, the enemies of Dayuan will definitely rush to the rescue after hearing about it. I am worried that no one will stop them.
You're here just in time. Once you get there, occupy the top of the hill. Don't call for reinforcements to rush over under any circumstances! Otherwise, the rear camp will be attacked from the front and back, and the encirclement will be torn apart! "
"Okay, it's up to us!" Yang Dayi rubbed his hands happily: "It's been a long time since I've been on the battlefield and I'm already exhausted, so I've caught a chance! If I can kill the general and capture the flag this time, it won't be in vain for me to travel hundreds of miles. Suffer!"
He knows that the danger to him has not passed yet, and even if he gets any achievements or achievements, it will be difficult to change his current situation.
But as a soldier, he still longed for the opportunity to fight on the battlefield and cut down the enemy with his own hands. Being happy after hearing the battle not only represents the will to fight, but also illustrates the soldiers' confidence in their own qualities and abilities.
The fire at Dayuandu Ferry was finally put out, and Sun Gu was so angry that he cursed his mother.
He took over the camp and was thinking about taking off his armor to rest. Suddenly, a fire broke out, forcing him to climb on horseback and rush to the dock to check the situation.
"How is it? How's the loss?" He asked the naval captain named Qiu.
"Oh, don't mention it! I thought that the army would not be able to get across without a boat. Who knew they would have some good hands on water? We killed or injured more than thirty brothers, and the boat was stolen, along with the boatmen on the boat." Colonel Qiu Wei said with a bitter face:
"Half of the wharf was burned down. What was especially abominable was that the warehouse was set on fire. We took out more than 20 shi of the 100 shi that we just transported..."
Hearing what he said, Sun Gu became even more angry, but Captain Qiu did not belong to his own team, but to the navy of Qinglu General Guo Sanwei (You Sanjiang was also under his name) who occupied Qingxi Town.
No matter how hard he gritted his teeth, he couldn't do anything to Captain Qiu. He had to hold back his anger and thanked him for his troubles. He told him to keep an eye on the ferry and leave 300 people to help defend it, and then led the rest back to the camp.
"General, then, what can we use to cross the river tomorrow morning?" the subordinate asked.
"It's a waste of time to cross the river!" Sun Gu said angrily, "Send someone to keep an eye on the river bank. I guess the officers and soldiers hijacking the boats don't want us to cross the river. On the other hand, they may use these boats to transport troops from the other side. .
If someone inserts a foot in Luo Dun and cuts off the connection between us and Yin Shuai, that will be a disaster! "This guy can be a deputy general. It seems that he is not an incompetent person. He is still a bit smart.
After hearing this, the subordinates knew how powerful it was inside and hurriedly went to arrange it. When Sun Gu returned to the camp, the sound of gunfire and shouts of death from the south became more and more like boiling water, making him unable to sit or stand.
"If I had known that something like this would happen, I shouldn't have let the Second Heavenly King go away at that time. Who would have thought that there would be so many changes later? We should have dragged him to fight together!"
He only saw Lou Shiming when handing over, but he didn't know that Lou Shifan was actually hiding in the team leaving the camp, so he didn't complain to Hua Jijiao.
After two tossings that night, he was very tired. Sun Gu lay on the marching table and fell asleep unknowingly.
He was woken up by someone just before he fell asleep. Before he even opened his eyes, he heard a confidant shouting beside him: "General, the brother who went to the river to investigate is back. The regiment is transporting troops to Luodun as the general expected. You should think of a solution quickly!"
"Why don't you think about it? Just hit them! Aren't they just a group of people practicing together?" Sun Gu asked someone to wipe his face and neck with a wet cloth, and asked: "How many people have been transported here? What day is it now?"
"Go back to the general. The sentry estimates that four or five hundred people have been transported over. It's...it's the third watch now, it's past time."
"Straight girl, you really know how to choose the right time (see note 1)!" Sun Gu cursed, but still had to shout:
"Send the order and order a thousand men to follow me to Luodun. The rest will guard the camp well and will not go to war without orders! Put on my armor and prepare my horses!"
He couldn't sit still anymore. If Luo Dun is occupied and his connection with Yin Tuo is cut off, his team will really become a lonely force that will be passively beaten.
Yang careless
After the team landed, Tan Zhongxiao and Liu She were relieved to learn that another follow-up team had arrived. They handed Luo Dun's guards to him and hurried to Wutang. Yang Dayi thanked Mr. Zhu and asked him to go back first.
Zhu Erye left two sampans for him to report news at any time, and then sent a small boat to Shangbandu to report the arrangements and situation in the north. He took the rest of the people back to the right bank of Dayuandu to anchor, and waited for the next trip. One step instructions.
After seeing off Mr. Zhu, Yang Dayi climbed up the mound. Luodun is not big. It is a small hillside with slightly steeper west and south slopes, long and gentle slopes in the east and north, and a height of only five feet. The surroundings were dark and matt, and only the croaking of countless frogs could be heard.
Someone lured a detective team member who had been ambushing here before and introduced that there is a large fish pond to the east, surrounded by rice fields. This small mound is actually the highest point in this area, which is what they call the "commanding heights." .
After talking to the detective team members in detail and seeing the nearby terrain map he drew on the south slope, Yang Dayi was very surprised.
This picture is not only accurate and easy to understand, but also rare is that this team member has been ordered to lurk in this area and wait for the landing team for twelve hours, which shows that this battle was deliberately planned by Sheng Huaien and Li Dan, rather than a sudden encounter. of.
"You've been hiding in the reeds until now?" Yang Dayi patted the team member on the shoulder with respect: "That's great! Did Inspector Li send you here?"
The man shook his head: "The villain has been inspected twice, both times to report the enemy situation to him face to face. Generally speaking, the villain is directly dispatched by Zhao Sima." He replied.
Yang Dayi didn't know who this "Zhao Sima" was, but he thought that someone who could lead such subordinates must not be a village man.
Based on the location and shape of the hill, Yang Dayi decided that the main battle direction should be to the north, so he sent Xin Chi to lead the main force to set up defenses here, while Wei Zhou'er and Lin Ziyang set up an ambush in the bamboo forest on the other side of the pond.
What he meant was that the team setting up the ambush would attack first and then retreat to the bamboo forest. When the opponent was chasing them, he and Xin Chi would rush down the north slope and use the inertia to attack the enemy's flank.
In order to prevent the enemy from being too strong and actually defeating the enemy troops, he specially strengthened Zhou Tu's archery team to Wei and Lin.
Jiyang Mountain was originally Yin Tuo's camp.
In the past, nearly 10,000 people were stationed here with soldiers and civilians, but now it suddenly feels like the building has become empty. There are leftover garbage everywhere, rotten military tents, discarded mats or broken umbrellas, etc.
I don’t know who’s family members were boiling water in clay pots. The children were sleeping next to the fire. The woman was coaxing the youngest to nurse. She didn’t hide herself when soldiers came over. I think it was commonplace.
Not far away, several armed men were dragging something and making a fuss. They were stunned when they saw the large group of people approaching, and then they quickly shut up and fled into the darkness.
"Huh, Yin Tuo hasn't let go of his desire to be a Buddha yet, and he always leads the troops with such sparse eyes. Even if there are thirty to fifty thousand soldiers like this, what's the use?" Lou Shiming, who entered the camp, was riding on his horse and watching. Bian said with a look of disgust.
"But second brother, you see, this kid can still bluff people. How long did it take him to go from 2,000 people to 10,000 people? He is quite capable." Lou Shifan walked side by side with him and smacked his lips in admiration.
He just took a bath in the pond he passed by and changed his clothes. Now he felt much better and felt relaxed. His hair is tied into a loose ponytail at the back of his head. If the short mustache were removed, he would look like a handsome boy.
"It's a pity that he is too wild-minded and cannot be used by my father. Otherwise, if we have 20 to 30 thousand people in our hands, we can pile up the corpses into the top of Shangrao's city!"
Lou Shi understood his younger brother and said, "What do you think you are saying? Is it unlucky for you to pile up tens of thousands of corpses in the place where my father will make his capital in the future?"
"Ahem, I don't understand why my handsome father insists on staring at this land?" Lou Shifan was a little embarrassed by his second brother's criticism. He raised his hand to shoo away the mosquitoes from his ears and said:
"The world is so big, it's hard to decide where to go? I think Nanchang is good. By the way, isn't there a royal palace there too? It's said to be much more grand than Shangrao!"
"You can't even capture Fengqiguan, so why are you talking about Nanchang? What about Prince Peng? He is different from Prince Yongfeng. He is a prince, not a county king, and he is an emperor.
The emperor's closest cousin.
If you touch him, the officers and soldiers from all directions will rush towards you like crazy to kill you, but it's not just a few regiments under Li Sanlang! "
"Stop teasing me!" Lou Shifan was a little annoyed by his sarcasm: "Didn't you, the mighty Second Heavenly King, have your claws chopped off? Huh, I'm not the only one who suffers from Li Sanlang!"
Seeing that he was annoyed, Lou Shiming laughed silently, and then waved his hands: "Forget it, we are brothers, no one can steal from the other. Well, that's the eldest brother, right? I don't know if he's going well here, or if he can persuade the pious man. Where's the hit?"
"Does he still want to drink a fine drink even if he doesn't drink the toast?" Lou Shifan sneered: "As long as you, second brother, stand in front of him, this kid will be short and punched three times. Grandma, if you don't understand the good words, the man's knife will kill him I always recognize it!"
"Hey, you are a person who only knows how to fight and kill. Can't you use your brain when doing things?"
Lou Shiming said, grabbing the horse and turning over to dismount. Lou Shifan also got down (the horse Lou Shiming found for him separately, Daqinghua, was given away by Song Xiaoniu after it fell into Li Dan's hands, and is now sitting under Yang Dayi's crotch) and handed the reins to him. The soldier leading the horse then followed the second brother forward.
"Eldest brother, Shi Ming is polite. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and brought Sanlang back safely." Lou Shiming folded his hands and bowed.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, second brother! I knew you would never fail!" Lou Shiyong held each other's hands and deliberately shook his brother's forearm.
Seeing that he was clearly following his father's example, Lou Shiming didn't say much and stood aside with a slight smile.
Lou Shi stepped forward with two steps and grabbed Lou Shifan who was about to salute: "Oh, third brother, I'm worried to death for you! What about you? That little thief didn't torture you, right?"
These words sounded very affectionate at first, and others thought it was a true brotherhood, but Lou Shifan couldn't help but get angry after hearing this. The eldest brother was mocking him in a different way for being toyed with by a doll.
His face turned red and white, and he reluctantly replied: "Brother Lao, I'm worried about you. Shifan is incompetent and has caused trouble for you."
"Hey, we can't talk about the trouble. It's just that we have to be more careful and prudent in doing things in the future." Lou Shi said in an eldest brother's manner.
"Brother, Sanlang, there is no place to talk outside the door. Let's go in and talk." Lou Shiming saw that the third brother's face was a little worried, so he hurried over to smooth things over. The words can be said at any time, there is a big drama starting later, so there is no need to delay.
"Oh, yes, let's go in and talk." Lou Shiyong turned around and saw Qianzhong saluting by the door. He suddenly remembered today's important event and quickly introduced:
"This Qian Sima, whose name is Zizi, is a capable scribe under Yin Shuai. For this handover, Yin Shuai entrusted him with us. Okay, Qian Sima, there is no need to be polite, let's go inside and talk."
After speaking, he glanced at Lou Shiming and strode in first.
"Note 1: People are most sleepy at eleven o'clock at night. At twelve o'clock (midnight), the brain has just entered a completely relaxed state, so Sun Gu got angry and cursed people."
