please make me king

Chapter 483

It turned out that Mengjin was only thirty-five miles away from Luoyang City, even though Zhao Yutou was old and frail, he rushed to the Yijun camp that night.

Zhang Shungang told about the attack and defense of the rebel army and the officers and soldiers, Zhao Yutou couldn't help shouting, and asked: "My lord, have you sent people to investigate and garrison at other ferries?"

Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, and quickly asked: "Isn't there only Mengjin Ferry in this Mengjin? Are there other crossings in Ann?"

Zhao Yutou slapped his thigh when he heard the words and said: "I am careless, I forgot to tell the lord that there is more than one ferry in this land of Mengjin!"

"From ancient times to the present, the river here has been gentle, and there are no less than ten ferries. Although most of them are unusable due to the siltation of the river, there is a ferry named Baihe Ferry more than ten miles northwest from here, which is still usable."

"If my predictions are correct, the officers and soldiers will sneak across the Yellow River from here at night, and attack at dawn!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun hurriedly shouted: "Wukong listens to the order, quickly call Xiao Qinhu, Liu Cheng, He Jinhe Yilong, "King of the World" and "King of Troubled Times" to come!"

When the generals arrived in a hurry, Zhang Shun stopped talking nonsense and ordered directly: "Liu Cheng, He Jin, and He Yilong listen to the order, quickly gather troops and horses, and follow me to Baihe Ferry overnight!"

Just after finishing the order, Zhang Shun thought that He Yilong was still injured yesterday afternoon, so he quickly added: "He Yilong will stay here to recuperate, and the cavalry under your command will be handed over to me for the time being!"

Seeing Zhang Shun's serious face, Liu Cheng, He Jin and He Yilong hurriedly responded and went to rectify the troops.

At this time, Zhang Shun gave another order to Xiao Qinhu: "The rest of the infantry listen to my orders, quickly bury the pot to make food, and reorganize the team. Xiao Qinhu is the main general here, and the 'King of Troubled Times' and 'King of Governance' are his assistants. All affairs in the camp, whether to attack or defend, should be decided after discussing with Mr. Zhao Yutou!"

After Zhang Shun gave the order, he was about to dress up and lead the team in person.Suddenly a kid pulled him, Zhang Shun turned around and saw that it was Zhao Lizi.

Then Zhao Lizi said to Zhang Shun: "Master, what orders do you have for me? All the generals have to lead the army, but I have to be idle!"

After hearing this, Zhang Shun turned his head to look at Zhao Yutou, but saw that he didn't respond.He said this time: "Since that's the case, you should dress neatly and go out with me! Then He Yilong's cavalry has no owner, so you can help me lead them for now!"

Zhao Lizi got the order, and hurriedly went to prepare happily.Only then did Zhang Shun say to Zhao Yutou: "The old man has no other relatives in his family, why didn't we stop him just now?"

Only then did Zhao Yutou smile bitterly and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Children and grandchildren can't help themselves when they grow up! I, a bad old man, can pull him up with shit and piss. I have done enough. Now my grandchildren have grown up , how can I control him?"

"What's more, even the old sparrow knows that the little sparrow has grown up, and he wants to drive it away to learn to fly! Now that the carp has grown up, how can I restrain him by my ugly old man?"

The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan for it!Zhang Shun suddenly remembered the sentence he had learned in his previous life textbook, so he bowed to Zhao Yutou and turned around to go.

In order to hurry, Zhang Shun didn't care about revealing his whereabouts, and quickly ordered his soldiers to light the torches, and galloped all the way to Baihe Ferry.

When Zhang Shun arrived at Baihe Ferry, he saw that the officers and soldiers on the bank of the river were already waiting in full force.

Zhang Shun galloped back and forth with Wukong, Zhao Lizi and some cavalrymen. After checking for a long time, he confirmed that there were only seven or eight hundred officers and soldiers crossing the river.Although the army was neat and tidy, but there was a lack of cavalry, Zhang Shun felt at ease.

So, he went out and shouted: "Who is the commander-in-chief who leads the team in person? Zhang Shun has been waiting for you for a long time, why is it so late?"

Afraid of losing morale, Zhang Quanchang quickly stood up and responded: "I am Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief. Why do you want to bully me! I think you are out of breath. If you come here in a hurry, what can you do to our army?"

Zhang Quanchang is also a veteran, although he is not as good at fighting as Cao Wenzhao, his general common sense is still clear.

Many people in this era suffer from "blindfolded eyes". Once it gets dark, they can't see their fingers.Therefore, night battles are dangerous, either because of a surprise attack by one party, or because no one wants to have a field battle unless it is absolutely necessary.

In fact, Zhang Shun had no choice, could he just sit back and watch the officers and soldiers cross the river, and set up camp here at night?
Fortunately, the meat intake of the soldiers under Zhang Shun's command is not bad, and there are relatively few soldiers suffering from night blindness.

When I was in Shunwangping, there were white fish caught from Shengwangping to supplement vitamin A; after the rebels moved to Lushi Baodu Village, because of the high mountains and deep forests, they could also shoot some wild game in their spare time to improve their food. .

Everyone used to seldom see meat all year round, so it was so easy to hunt some game, how could they give up their liver?

What's more, after Li Xiang married Zhang Shun, he clearly told him that "the liver of cattle, sheep and game can cure 'blindfolded birds'".

By the way, Zhang specially ordered the soldiers to keep the animal livers and eat them with those suffering from "blindfolded birds", which actually cured many people.

Zhang Quanchang also knew that Zhang Shun had no intention of retreating, so he quickly ordered the officers and soldiers to form a semicircle along the river.The outer row of guns and artillery, and the inner row of spears and axes, are specially waiting for the rebel cavalry to attack.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help frowning.Sun Tzu's Art of War said: "If you don't invite the banner of righteousness, don't hit the dignified Chen! It's just that you worry about too much damage to the team.

It's just that now that things happen suddenly, the two evils are the lesser, and the two benefits are the more important, so I don't care much.

Zhang Shun was about to give an order, but Liu Cheng saw that Zhang Shun hesitated, so he remonstrated: "This kind of officers and soldiers are easy to deal with. You only need to send a small number of cavalry to make a false attack, draw out the officers and soldiers' guns, and then attack them. And broken!"

Zhang Shun heard that this is a good way.When Zhao Lizi heard the words, he hurriedly challenged and said: "My lord, I am willing to lead twenty cavalry to deceive the officers and soldiers!"

Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.He promised a reward of two taels of silver, and asked Zhao Lizi to personally select twenty daredevils to harass.

Sure enough, when Zhao Lizi and all the men who dared to die were wearing double Kai and galloping in front of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Quanchang couldn't sit still.

There seemed to be few cavalry in the rebel army. If they just ignored it and were shot and killed by them and wounded the morale of the soldiers, it would be easy for them to take advantage of them and mess up the formation!

If some soldiers were ordered to fire, under the pressure of the rebel army, it is inevitable that many people would fire indiscriminately in a panic, losing the deterrence of the guns.

As the defender, Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief, can only choose one of the two.Either believe that the soldiers under your command are as immovable as a mountain and ignore them; or you believe that the soldiers under your command must follow the orders, and no one will shoot indiscriminately except those who receive the order.

The commander-in-chief Zhang Quanchang couldn't believe these two items.In desperation, he had no choice but to tentatively order a group of musketeers to shoot Zhao Lizi and others who were flaunting their power and harassing them before.
