Outside the Gukun Temple, Zhenhai General Ding Congshi also looked at the green flag on the wall, and then held the whip handle to the left and right roads.
"Is this the peace thief who is known to be the most brave among thieves, and the most similar to the officers and soldiers... These methods of arranging the camp seem to have some tricks..."
"It is said that this time the thieves took advantage of the turmoil of the savages and won the legacy of the Long March athletes in the Guiguan and Annan Lands. Then they were able to get familiar with the battle formations and behaviors of the officers and soldiers. Be unique."
Someone immediately replied based on the incomplete rumors and news.
"This time I have been ordered by the lord to attack the thieves in several ways. First of all, you can consider most of the Gai clan who has a lot of thieves, and then the thief of Jiangning's peaceful thieves..."
Ding Congshi nodded slightly and continued.
"Now the leader of the Ge's thieves has been trapped by Zhang (quan) Jinwu, living like a fish in the bottom of a cauldron; the Taiping thieves have also come out. But I don't know who can win the first battle of the Taiping thieves for me. It’s said that the few soil groups that I went to grab have all returned from frustration..."
"A certain family is willing to go there and take the lead..."
He is a rough-looking and shrewd general, but Lu Guanfeng, a general from Jingshan Town, a newly established town in Changzhou.
"Please also be cautious a little bit or two, before..."
Someone started to persuade him, but was stopped by Ding Congshi's turn of his eyes.
Then, in the sound of the snail hooting, five or six hundred Jingshan town soldiers, wearing short leather armor, holding wicker cards, short spears, iron forks, and axes, formed a three-way horizontal formation with a front point, a center, and a wide back. . Slowly stepping in and slowly turning into a trot and speeding up, he continued to maintain a loose position and pounced towards the place of the ancient temple.
"This is the horns that the Jingshan soldiers rely on to become famous... It is known as the tactics of reaching the horns like waves. Once the forward is blocked by the enemy, the squadron will attack like rain, and the rear team will also cover it. ..."
Suddenly someone introduced Ding Congshi on the spot.
"Because of the repeated defeats of the thieves, I can't bear it, this time I have seen meritorious deeds again..."
Then I saw the leader of the Jingshan town soldier, suddenly burst out a jagged noise, and dropped the wicker row in his hand as if they were short, and cried out with pain while holding his feet; it seemed that he was caught off guard from stepping on the enemy's deployment. Sign at the periphery. The remaining people also hurried forward to help and rescue.
However, when they paused, they were completely exposed by the squadron holding a spearhead, separated by more than ten steps from the rear, and saw a flash of silhouette on the wall, which was originally silent, and the short and rapid flying arrows were like rain. Just one step past the top of the front team, and Mimizaza penetrated into them.
Suddenly, the dense clusters of squadrons were like rice straws that were cut down. The blood splattered through and overturned a large area; and the town soldiers were left to dodge suddenly. Disperse; at this time the most numerous rear team finally caught up.
I saw that they gathered up the remaining Yu Yong and strode across in batches. Those lying on the ground in a pool of fresh blood were covered with corpses and wounded, and bravely rushed to the mutilated soil, and from various gaps. The call sign rushed in with a roar.
Ding Congshi let out a sigh of relief, and then suddenly saw a faint puffy trembling sound, and suddenly a lot of gray smoke came up after the gap in the soil; and then in a short and stern torment and clamor After the sound, the noise and movement of rushing in gradually disappeared.
In the feelings of anticipation or expectation among the officers and soldiers watching the battle, the wavy cyan Taiping battle flags still float in the air untouched, and the blocked Jingshan Town outside the town’s soil enclosure. The remnants of soldiers have turned around and fled back in a hurry.
Then, he was shot from the back by the arrow shot from the wall, and he was nailed to the mud. Seeing such a scene, the officers and soldiers watching the battle were a little dumb and dumb; even the group behind them who was responsible for waving the flag, shouting, and cheering, was somewhat slow and gradually stopped.
.
"A bunch of waste..."
Immediately, Ding Congshi couldn't help his face change slightly and spit out these words in his mouth. Then, he patrolled these generals with his eyes, and said in a calm voice.
"I wonder who else wants to go..."
"Someone can go..."
After the generals looked at each other for a while, someone took the initiative to speak out loudly. But it was another Mingzhou tug leader Bai Yixing with thousands of people.
"I'm just afraid that the number of thieves in this town is wrong, and there are at least hundreds of them.
However, he immediately surrendered his hand and asked for the gift.
"Therefore, please also send troops to fight and respond for me. Please also ask other troops to pretend to attack from other places, thinking that our department will cope with it.. Once our department has attacked the thieves, they will wait for the opportunity to move... And thoughtful..."
"Goodness..."
Ding Cong nodded involuntarily.
However, what appeared to him after half an hour was the Mingzhou Tutuo that had already attacked the arrow rain, leaving only the ruined and defeated soldiers rushing out of Tuweizi;
In fact, the only people in charge of the feint attack on the other three sides actually rushed all the way to the edge of the earth, and fought with the Taiping thief behind the wall; the other two were slowly moved up, and then on the wall. The next quickly rushed away and fled back.
Fortunately, the so-called "the east side is not bright and the west side is bright" is the truth. Seeing that the Dongxiang team who is used as a feint and restrained, has gained a firm foothold under the wall.
"Lu Zhenyan has already led his troops to attack..."
Someone could not help shouting in surprise.
"Hurry up and beat the drums to cheer and send out more troops..."
Before the words fell, the town soldiers who had attacked it suddenly screamed and screamed, and once again climbed the ditch and jumped out of the wall. Others cried out heartbreakingly:
"Lu Zhen is dead, the thief has a magic trick."
"Blow the attack horn, and all the remaining parts on standby will be pressed on by me... Tell them that the first thief will be rewarded with a thousand silk, and the armor will receive three hundred..."
After giving this order, Ding Congshi sighed slightly. If it weren't for his gains in regaining Jurongcheng that were far below the expected level, why use the expected promises and benefits to rely more on these uneven external forces.
Although Ling Gong originally provided him with a fully equipped man and horse as his team, he had to rely on his own efforts to compete and plan in addition to supporting the grain and grass for several months;
After all, with the newly restored territory to collect money and food, and the heavy gains captured by the courageous killing of thieves, it is possible to further expand the ranks and support the soldiers, and even use continuous rewards to gather people's hearts. In turn, he has strengthened his capital for seeking meritorious service from thieves, which is a snowball-like progressive process.
On the other hand, only after reaching a certain record and achievement, can it be possible to further give him more financial and material support. This is also the prevailing situation of the number of officers and troops taking the initiative to attack in Runzhou.
Although Ding Congshi first proposed this strategy, he was not the only choice for the handsome man; he was just trying to get ahead of others.
Therefore, he can only use his own name and title to win over and gather these local ranks who have rushed to Runzhou, thinking that the temporary wings and help will strengthen the momentum and the strength on the book.
Then, while balancing their internal interests, they drove them to attack the thief army. On the other hand, after they were consumed and reduced, they were justified to annex it in the name of the whole army; of course, there were a few problems during the period. Then the leaders and town generals who were willing to belong to the group, so they were very sorry that they were not among the thieves.
Then, after he smashed several thieves that were active near Dantu, and sent more than two thousand heads of various colors to the Jizhen Lia Envoy's reward.
Although there was no increase in the official ministry, he received a thousand newly recruited united children, three thousand people's armor and two-month salary; however, soon his competitors also appeared afterwards; among them, that Dong Chang, the training envoy of the Hangzhou Badu Regiment who was newly awarded the Hangzhou Governor, also has Gao Ba, the restraining envoy of Hailing Town, who is known as the number one in the towns of Su Chang.
But the most powerful opponent is still a stranger and familiar person; he was born under Wang Ying from the former Langshan Township, which once messed up the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but led the boat master to abandon him and surrender to the court to grant General Jinwu. Zhang Quan is now a soldier and horse envoy of the coastal navy.
Because he gathered the old part of Wang Ying in Changzhou and Mingzhou, and had the boat master as a means of transportation; therefore, it can be said that the attack on the thieves can be described as having the advantages of land, people and convenience, and showing the tendency of latecomers to dominate. Even if he entered Runzhou at the latest, he was good at inland rivers, waters and land, and repeatedly defeated the main battle of the thief chief Ge Hong under Yanling, Qu'a, and Jintan cities.
Now, together with Gao Ba, the training envoy of Hailing Town, and Dong Chang, the training envoy of the Badu Regiment, they besieged him within a radius of several miles between Maoshan and Changtang Lake in Jintan County. But Ding Congshi alone became the one that was arranged to block the enemy and fight aid.
However, he couldn't get more support from Jieya; the reason was simple and justifiable. On the one hand, the navy of the grass thief is still blocking the river and threatening outside Dantu City; on the other hand, it is necessary to fully guard against Huang Ni headquarters which is still in Xuanzhou.
Therefore, after the triumphantly advancing thieves have captured thousands of dollars, they have been repeatedly frustrated outside Guping Town in this district; this inevitably makes his face dull and consciously anxious.
"Where is the Xuanrun Crossbowman, where is the Yangshan Archer, and I quickly cover the thieves..."
Ding Congshi suddenly lowered his whip and said sharply.
"Please also wait, those who came out of the battle haven't completely returned yet..."
At this time someone couldn't help but shouted eagerly.
"Military situation is urgent, but I don't know the reason why fighter planes are fleeting..."
Ding Congshi is unmoved
With the passing of the military order, the long-awaited Yangshan archers stepped forward first, and Zhang Gongju shot a rain of arrows; then the crossbowmen who lowered their firing angles also completed the winding and charging, and radiated indiscriminate coverage. In the town of Guping, the enemy and ours are being torn into a ball.
In an instant, a layer of bloody mottled arrow feathers formed on the flat ground, walls, and tile roofs in Guping Town, amid screams and roars.
At this time, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, causing the officers and soldiers who were waiting to look up, but the large clouds still showed the sky with fine and mottled sunlight. (End of this chapter)
