Fei Sheng couldn't figure out what medicine Yin Chang was selling in the gourd. The garrison in Cizhou did not move for two days after arriving in Fanzhou. Yin Chang went out several times and wandered around after meals. Fei Sheng was so anxious that his eyebrows burned, but he just accompanied him , not even the guards.
Fei Sheng wanted to write a letter to Shen Zechuan, but was worried that Yin Changzhen had two brushes. If the garrison finally triumphed and arrived in front of Shen Zechuan, he would become a real villain who secretly sued him, and he would become unreasonable.
Fei Sheng lay down to rest that day, and slept until around 18:00 when he was suddenly woken up by his subordinates.
"It's not good," Jin Yiwei said, "the old thief ran away!"
Fei Sheng sat up abruptly, picked up his boots, jumped and kicked, and asked in disbelief, "Run? Run?!"
Fei Sheng opened the curtain and went out to see that the entire camp was still lit, but there were only a thousand or so soldiers left in the garrison. His chest was beating violently, and his heart was over. If Fanzhou lost the battle, his future future would be over. But he thought about it, not right!
Fanzhou will not be defeated no matter how he looks at it, and he will be rewarded if he is defeated. Yin Chang can still take the position of commander and envoy. He has no reason to run. What's more, the half of Zhongbo was surrounded by Shen Zechuan, and Yin Chang had nowhere to go if he ran away, unless he turned to King Yi.
Fei Sheng raised his head abruptly, looked in the direction of Fan Zhou, and said, "This old thief should not be fighting back..."
The Jinyi guards on the night patrol returned with whips. Before dismounting, they whistled: "There are traces of marching three miles to the southeast!"
Fei Sheng took a few steps forward and asked, "Is it the garrison or the Fanzhou bandit?"
"He came to us," Jin Yiwei hung up his whip and straightened his sword, "Nine times out of ten it was a night attack."
Fei Sheng's heart was half cold. He had never been a general from Qidu to Zhongbo, and he was not good at fighting. He turned around and looked around the camp and said, "The commander has run away, where is the general flag down? Call him out to fight!"
Jin Yiwei, who followed behind, said, "The general flag has also run away!"
Fei Sheng regretted to death, knowing that Yin Chang was so unreliable, he would drag Gujin over even if he dragged it, so he could fill the vacancy at the moment. He calmed himself down and asked his subordinates, "How many people are left?"
"One thousand people," Jin Yiwei said, leaning against the hilt of the knife, "the old man even rounded up a whole number."
Fei Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "I thank his family!"
Fei Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet. He told the soldiers to put out all the torches and prepare to evacuate. At least they couldn't stay in the camp and be hit by the enemy as a target, and they could survive in the snow. But halfway through the fire, he could already hear the footsteps of the enemy running in the wind.
"Withdraw now," Fei Shengguang knew by hearing the voice that he couldn't win, "Withdraw!"
The rest of the soldiers fastened their belts, dragged their knives behind Jin Yiwei's buttocks, and ran with all their might, throwing away their soldiers and armor along the way, looking particularly embarrassed. Fei Sheng had horses, but he did not dare to leave these thousand people behind and run back to Ibaraki by himself. Before the battle started, the soldiers were lost first, and he could already think of Shen Zechuan's thunderous wrath.
Fei Sheng hadn't run a few miles away when he heard the surrounding sound in front of him at night. They set up camp here for several days, and the Fanzhou soldiers had already figured out the way, surrounded the camp before and after, and prepared to catch them all tonight.
Fei Sheng was in a dilemma. This situation was completely different from what he was in Dunzhou a few months ago. He was exposed to this wilderness without any shelter. The thousand soldiers in hand may be able to resist Xiaobo's surprise attack, but he is determined to be unable to resist the onslaught of many times his own number.
Fanzhou soldiers gathered. They were more complex than the Cizhou garrison, without armor or even unified weapons. As the circle shrank, they swarmed closer like ant colonies. Fei Sheng's horses and the garrison were next to each other, and the enemy troops were doubled in all directions.
In this case, only by breaking the boat can there be a chance of survival.
Fei Sheng hesitated for a moment while gasping for breath, then chopped his horse to death with a knife, raised his knife in the blood and shouted: "I and you are all trapped beasts, if we can't break out of the siege tonight, we can only die. here!"
The soldiers were already terrified when they were surrounded. They had seen Fei Sheng riding on a horse before, fearing that he would abandon his troops and flee, so he was even more unwilling to fight, and just wanted to kneel and beg for mercy. But at this moment, Fei Sheng chopped up his own horse, showing his determination to advance and retreat together, and his morale was immediately boosted. Fei Sheng was well aware of the role of leading soldiers. He had already rushed forward during his speech, cut down the enemy army head-on, and led his men to the northwest to break through the siege desperately.
At this moment, a roar suddenly burst out from the southeast, and a vertical team stabbed into the bodies of Fanzhou soldiers like sharp knives. In less than a moment, all the eight columns stabbed in.
Yin Changcai's face turned red after drinking, making it difficult to tell whether he was drunk or frozen. He blew his nose, jumped with joy, and shouted loudly at Fei Sheng across hundreds of people: "You're not dead yet!"
Fei Sheng didn't pull out his sword, he kicked the enemy's chest, and he said a thousand words in one sentence: "Fuck!"
He was used as bait by Yin Chang!
A total of 8,000 garrison troops from Cizhou came. It was not necessary to design this way to attack Fanzhou, but Yin Chang realized that something was wrong when he arrived in Fanzhou. The horses blocked them, but not only did they not encounter obstacles when they crossed the border, but they did not even encounter Fanzhou soldiers.
King Yi received the letter, and if he had the heart to surrender, he should have opened the door long ago. But not only did he not open the door, he also took away the troops on the sideline, which was obviously concentrating his troops and preparing for a deadly battle with the Ibaraki garrison.
Yin Chang guessed that Fanzhou would join forces with Dengzhou soldiers in order to win, and they would only dare to fight like this when they had crushed the Izhou garrison in numbers. The old man was a thief and knew that he didn't have enough people, so he threw Fei Sheng out and let the Fanzhou soldiers bite the hook. When the Fanzhou soldiers gathered in groups, they attacked from behind with sharp knives, first splitting them into pieces, and then one by one. break.
When Fei Sheng was wiping the blood, he saw that the sharp sword team was so powerful that Fanzhou soldiers could no longer gather.
The knife-edges of these teams face outwards. It can be clearly seen that they borrowed Lu Guangbai's formation against cavalry, but Yin Chang made a change. He arranged these teams very narrowly, from Lu Guangbai's square "chariot" to Long "sharp knives".
Such a team of sharp knives is ruthless and fast when they raid from behind. Once they stab into the enemy camp, they can tear the opponent apart. Fan Zhoubing didn't even have armor, so he didn't have time to cover his buttocks, and he was twisted into flesh in the blink of an eye.
This old man really has something!
Seeing the victory in hand, Fei Sheng couldn't help but his confidence soared. Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, he ate Yin Chang's swipe. Although Yin Chang was old, he had real kung fu on his legs, which made Fei Sheng fall into trouble. Fei Sheng just landed, and the knife above his head swiped past.
Fanzhou soldiers were calling Jin to withdraw their soldiers, Yin Chang chased after him with a knife, and shouted: "Where is Shuzi running!"
Since Fanzhou has concentrated his troops, the main force in the territory will come tonight. As long as these people are defeated, King Yi will have no chance of resistance. Fanzhou's army has dissipated, and the morale of the Cizhou garrison is high. At this moment, Yin Chang will definitely not let them go back to the city.
Fei Sheng got up and chased after him. Who would have guessed that this old man had great legs and ran amazingly fast. In the dark night, Fei Sheng could barely keep up. They chased a few miles away, and Fei Sheng noticed that the direction was wrong, and was about to call Yin Chang, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
"Reinforcement!" Fei Sheng straightened his legs and wanted to drag Yin Chang back, shouting, "Elder Yin, it's Fanzhou's reinforcements!"
Fei Sheng's eyes and ears are keen, and it is the same way with Gujin. He has few opportunities to follow the army, and he doesn't have the ability of Gujin to distinguish troops based on sound alone, but his observation skills are extraordinary, and he can hear that the sound of the horse's hooves is slightly dull, not like ordinary cavalry.
There are no stars at night, and there are snow hills in the wilderness. The snow balls slid against the snow hills, rustled by the wind, and swept to the feet of the Ibaraki garrison. Yin Chang was as stubborn as a donkey, and he could already see a small number of cavalry in front of him. His red nose was soaked in wine, and Shunfeng couldn't smell it.
Fei Sheng's face fluttered with fine snow chips, and he could smell the smell of gunpowder in the wind at the moment when the snow melted. Fei Sheng's hair stood on end immediately, he stopped abruptly, waved his arms, and said sharply to the Jinyiwei on the left and right: "Fire gun!"
Before Fei Sheng's voice could fall, a fire broke out in the darkness, like a falling meteor. Fei Sheng didn't even think about it, he almost jumped up from a tiger, pounced on Yin Chang's back from behind, and rolled into the snow with the old man. The loud bang sounded in his ears, as if a blunt weapon hit his head and exploded. De Feisheng almost lost his voice.
Miscalculated!
Fei Sheng's back was burning hot when he rubbed the bullet. He supported his body with one arm and shook his head vigorously. Because he couldn't hear his own voice, he could only shout at Yin Chang who was under him, "This thing is hot! Back off, back off now!"
Fei Sheng had seen copper fire guns in the armament depot of the Eighth Battalion. This thing could only be equipped by Chunquan Battalion in the Eighth Battalion. It was under the control of the imperial court, and the Ministry of War was in charge of forging blueprints. Both Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan had the idea of fire guns, but neither of them were able to get the blueprints.
No wonder the cavalry stood still just now, it was loading. The other party didn't know how long they had been observing in the night. They were not coming for the Ibaru garrison, but for Yin Chang. The so-called "snake and seven inches", Yin Chang is the key to the garrison of Cizhou.
Yin Chang was blinded by this bullet, and the old man struggled in the snow, covering his ears and shouting to Fei Sheng in horror: "What the hell is thundering!"
Fei Sheng didn't have time to explain to this old country man who had never seen the world. He got up and dragged Yin Chang to run back. Yin Chang moved his palm away, stretched his head and looked back. The cavalry behind him exploded again. Yin Chang's butt was rubbed by the blasted projectile, causing Yin Chang to scream in pain.
Fei Sheng thought that Yin Chang had been hit, and said anxiously, "Don't die!"
Fei Sheng had to protect the old man tonight no matter what, he knew best that what Shen Zechuan lacked now was generals, and Yin Chang would be of great use in the future. The point is, if Yin Chang were to die here, Fei Sheng would not be able to fight. When he went back in disgrace, let alone his future, it was a question of whether he could keep his original position. Shen Zechuan and Qiao Tianya could be used, but he had to. .
So Yin Chang must not die!
Yin Chang was frightened, so he hugged his head and ran away without Fei Sheng dragging him. He got rid of Fei Sheng after a few steps, muttering like a car wheel in his mouth: "Don't hack me, the old man has never done anything wrong. , hacking anyone..."
fart!
Fei Sheng followed behind in a fit of rage. He didn't know where to get his strength. He chased after Yin Chang and scolded: "The old thief is too dark, and it's not you who threw Lao Tzu at the camp as a bait?"
Yin Chang twisted his neck and retorted: "Soldiers are tricky, tricky!"
They ran wildly in the wild, but fortunately, the other party did not mean to chase after them, and they retreated after driving out the Ibaraki garrison for half a mile. The Cizhou garrison ran for half a night, and then fought with the Fanzhou soldiers for half a night, and was exhausted. On such a cold day, all of them were sweating profusely, panting as they braced themselves.
Fei Sheng wiped his sweat and realized something in the process of slowing down. He turned around, looked at the bright sky, spat fiercely, and said, "I was cheated."
* * *
It was late at night when the military newspaper returned to Ibaraki, and Shen Zechuan, wearing a robe, read Fei Sheng's statement in the hall. The whole hall was silent, and no one dared to spy on the expression of the mansion.
Everyone thought that Fanzhou was something in their pockets, but they encountered hard stubble. The Ibaraki garrison had been preparing for half a year. Shen Zechuan invited Libei and the Forbidden Army to come for training. As a result, the first battle was so useless that everyone should be angry.
You could hear needles falling in the study, Yao Wenyu covered her lips and coughed for a long time, and said while clenching her fist: "Fujun wants to suspend the wrath of thunder, and fire guns have always been strictly prohibited by the court, so it is unexpected to appear in Fanzhou. A sharp weapon, but it still can’t change the set defeat.”
Yu Xiaozai, who had just returned from Dunzhou, didn't even feel hot in his butt. Fearing that Shen Zechuan would severely punish the garrison, he said with a dignified atmosphere, "I don't want to shake my head..."
Oh, I forgot to change the mandarin!
Yu Xiao patted his knee angrily again, and the aides around him immediately buried their heads even lower.
Shen Zechuan had eased his anger after being interrupted by Yu Xiaozai. He covered the letter, his expression warmed, and everyone below dared to breathe.
"Yuan Zhuo is right," Kong Ling replied softly, "King Yi can't turn the sky even if he has a firearm, and Fanzhou's food is in short supply.
Yao Wenyu said while drooping his sleeves: "But it's also strange... If King Yi had already had a firearm in his hand, why was he forced to this point? Just by selling it to the Luoshan bandits, he could earn enough salary to recruit new soldiers. Besides, this time The confrontation is not like the style of King Wing in the past."
Zhou Gui remembered what Yao Wenyu said a few days ago, and immediately changed his color, saying, "Could it be that as Yuan Zhuo expected, King Yi has already been killed by bandits in the territory? I feel strange watching this battle."
Zhou Gui and Yin Chang knew each other well. He promoted Yin Chang not because Fei Sheng thought, but because he felt that Yin Chang had the ability to fight. If King Yi also had the ability to fight, then Fanzhou should have attacked Cizhou long ago.
Kong Ling also became suspicious and said, "As far as Fei Shengxin said, it really doesn't look like King Wing."
The study gradually returned to silence, and everyone waited for Shen Zechuan to speak. Shen Zechuan raised his eyes to look at everyone, his eyes were like ice and snow, and said, "Tell Yin Chang, seven days later, either the garrison will triumph, or he will come to see you."
Shen Zechuan gave the garrison plenty of food and grass, and also gave the garrison excellent equipment. If the garrison could not even take Fanzhou down, then there would be no need to think about future grand plans and hegemony.
One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
After this spring, Zhongbo can only have one owner. Regardless of whether the King of Wings is true or false, Shen Zechuan must decide on Fanzhou.
The author has something to say: The copper fire gun is more like a spray, and it has an advantage in front of it.
