Chapter 232 The Tragic Battle

() On May [-], the escort team arrived in Pinglu.

The route he took this time was the same as the route Su Tiancheng took when he first took office in Jiangning County, passing through Henan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and entering Nanzhili from Guide Mansion.

The [-] guards of Prince Jin's Mansion were obviously a little lax, and they were about to leave Shanxi soon. They felt that the danger had passed and nothing major would happen.Since Zijinliang suffered a setback in Henan, the rogues were reluctant to go to Henan, and Shaanxi, Shanxi and North Zhili became the focus of their activities, so they believed that nothing would happen in Henan.

Su Tiancheng didn't see it that way.

The border area between Shanxi and Henan is often haunted by rogues. The terrain here is complex, and the imperial army seldom spends much effort to rectify it. Even if a large army comes, it is helpless to face many mountains and desolate places.

Such a place is the best place to lay an ambush.

The [-] soldiers of Jiangning Battalion have always been on high alert. Some of them have followed Su Tiancheng and strangled Buzhemu in this generation, and they are well aware of the complexity of the terrain in this generation.

Sun Yuankun sent out scouts to investigate along the way, and strictly ordered the scouts to find out all the situation within a radius of ten miles.

On May [-]th, the brigade entered the territory of Mianchi.

The scout came to report the news suddenly, with an incredulous expression on his face.

Su Tiancheng, Qu Qingze, Sun Yuankun, Sun Chengzong and others walked in the middle of the team.

Seeing the scout's shocked expression, Sun Yuankun was thinking of reprimanding him, but Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop him.

"Report, twenty miles ahead. There is a large group of people, estimated to be more than 5000 people. They have set up a formation, and the subordinates estimate that it is a team of rogues."

This was a special arrangement. One year ago, Su Tiancheng sneaked up on Zhang Cunmeng of Buchangni here, and beheaded Buchangni decisively, so that Fang Ming, Buchangni's loyal subordinate, led the bandits and fought him to the death.Now, the rogues still chose this place in a public way, I don't know if it's an astonishing coincidence.

Word spread quickly.

Su Tiancheng and his party only had more than 5000 people, and there were more than [-] bandits. It seemed that they had made up their minds this time.There is still a distance from Mianchi County, even if the soldiers in the county rushed to help, it would not have much effect.

The guards of Prince Jin's Mansion were obviously a little nervous, which they didn't expect.In Henan Province, meeting such large-scale rogues made the guards tremble a little, indicating that they were going back to Pinglu temporarily.Mobilize the imperial army to wipe out this bandit.

This kind of thinking.It slowly spread among the guards, and before the battle started, people's hearts were a little scattered. <Ping and others followed her.

Su Tiancheng was discussing with Sun Yuankun, Sun Chuanting and others when he saw Zhu Shenxin and others coming.

Before Su Tiancheng could speak, Zhu Shenxin spoke.

"Husband, the concubine already knows the situation, husband, don't worry, don't be dragged down by the concubine."

Su Tiancheng looked at Zhu Shenxin, nodded, but did not speak.

Sun Yuankun and Sun Chuanting have different opinions.

Sun Yuankun meant that the [-] soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion must ensure the safety of Su Tiancheng and his family members, and they are not suitable for charging. To be able to kill the enemy, he only needs the guards of the Jin Palace to fight, which will definitely affect morale, but he also believes that Su Tiancheng and his family must be surrounded by soldiers from the Jiangning Camp.

Su Tiancheng thought about it for a while and made a decision.

"There are 200 people in the scout battalion to protect Zhu Shenxin and his party. No matter what the battle situation is, there will be no mistakes. The [-] soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion, as the vanguard of the attack, rush to the forefront. The guards of the palace are in disorder. If they are used as the main force to fight against the rogues, they will surely fail. Therefore, the three hundred brothers in the Xiaoqiying Battalion are the absolute main force. Order, the brothers of the Jiangning camp must not retreat, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, they must rush through, and rush forward without frowning."

"After the combat order is issued, the military order must be like a mountain, and no other voices are allowed to appear. As for the idea of ​​​​retreating to Anlu County, it should be thrown aside. The bandits want me to do this. Not daring to advance, not daring to attack. If I retreat, it will be in line with their wishes. The rogues also have taboos. We have already demonstrated our prestige in the battle in Yingshan County. They have no confidence in their hearts and tell the brothers, Be confident, victory will definitely belong to us.”

Sun Yuankun went to arrange combat missions, including the formation of troops.

Sun Chuanting did not leave immediately, Su Tiancheng told him to stay for a while.

"Master Sun, I will allocate 100 of you to the two hundred brothers in the scout battalion. The brothers in the scout battalion are the elites of the Jiangning battalion, and they have the bravery that no man should deserve. Your task is to lead them and kill the leader of the bandits. , including the backbone of the rogues, don’t leave them alive, and don’t allow them to escape.”

"Master Su, no way, there are too few sergeants around you and your family."

"No problem, there are a hundred brothers by my side, no matter how many rogues there are, don't think about getting close."

Su Tiancheng's burst of strong self-confidence infected Sun Chuanting, and he nodded.

After the order to fight was issued, the atmosphere became solemn.

Everyone is clear about what this battle means. With two thousand soldiers, no one dares to be absolutely sure when fighting against rogues twice as many as himself. Besides, there are Su Tiancheng's family members in the team, Zhu Shenxin She is Prince Jin's own younger sister. If something goes wrong, the guards of the palace will not even think about surviving.

To put it bluntly, this battle has failed, Xiao Wei can only go to the rogues.

The marching queue has changed.

The 200 soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion are at the front, and behind them are the [-] palace guards who are preparing to enter the Jiangning camp. Chun Ping, Wang Furong, Liu Rushi and others, Su Pingyang and Su Jun were also in this team.

Su Tiancheng leaped to the front of the team.

"Brothers, the bandits are rampant, and they attack us openly. It is unbearable. Although we are small in number in this battle, we will definitely win a complete victory. Thinking about the battle of Naying Mountain, we were less than five thousand brothers, but we wiped out all of them. There are more than [-] rogues in Zijin Liang, this time, we will definitely be able to do it and wipe out the rogues ahead."

"Some brothers said that it is normal to have this idea of ​​returning to Anlu County and waiting for rescue, but we cannot do this. There are more than 5000 bandits, but they dare not attack us. Waiting ahead, this shows that they are also guilty, although they want to avenge Zijinliang, but they don't know our details and are afraid of our bravery, if we retreat to Anlu County, it just suits their wishes."

"We can't build up other people's ambitions and destroy our own prestige. The sword is ruthless. There are always casualties in the battle, but we are soldiers. Among you, there are soldiers from the Jiangning camp and guards from the palace. They are all reputable men. You guys Remember, the honor of a soldier is above all else."

"The military order is like a mountain, and the Jiangning camp is not allowed to escape, even if it is the last person in the battle. As for the guards of the palace, including the brothers who are about to enter the Jiangning camp, you should remember that the belief of the Jiangning camp is that on the battlefield, you will not abandon it. Give up, take care of each other with breath, care about pain and itching, walk through fire together, go through water and water together, raise a glass to make a contribution if you win, and give your best to save each other if you lose."

The restless crowd gradually calmed down, and different expressions appeared on their faces. The soldiers of the three hundred Xiao cavalry battalion in the front had a calm face. They were used to such requests. The last person will not retreat.Most of the remaining [-] palace guards had an eager look on their faces. Many of them had also experienced brutal battles. After arriving at the Jin Palace, they had no chance to fight and lived in a peaceful atmosphere. It was almost worn out, and there were still a very small number of people with a look of bewilderment on their faces. Most of these people were factory guards or Jin Yiwei. Their main duty was to monitor King Jin's actions, and they never thought of going into battle. Kill the enemy.

Su Tiancheng took a quick look at everyone.

Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang, Su Jun and others came forward with paper, pen, ink and inkstone. According to the usual practice, before the battle, everyone must write down their will. to finish.

Sun Chuanting looked at this scene and felt amazed. He faintly felt why Jiang Ningying was so brave, not only in terms of beliefs, but also in some specific practices. It reflected care and thoughtful consideration. This kind of concern from the heart can mobilize the enthusiasm of soldiers to the greatest extent.

No one was polite, and everyone started to tell briefly, including Su Tiancheng, who helped record it.

Seeing such a situation, Sun Chuanting also went forward, picked up a pen and paper, and began to help record.

After writing for less than a quarter of an hour, his hands began to tremble. When the sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion spoke, their tone was calm, as if they were having an ordinary conversation, and no one was excited.

He is clear about the state of this situation. The soldiers of Xiaoqi Battalion regard death as home and are ready to wrap their bodies in horse leather. This kind of army is indeed an invincible army. Just imagine, if you are not afraid of death, what else can you be afraid of.

Sun Chuanting suddenly had great confidence again, he believed that the rogues were looking for death this time.

The calm atmosphere infected the guards of the palace, the performance of the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Scout Battalion, reminding them of the past, those years of war, although tragic, cruel, but more bloody.
