Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 105
Time turned back a little, back to the moment when Xiang Zhuang led the commando of the Young Marshal Army out of the camp and rushed at full speed to the ferry docked on the shore of Surabaya.

At that moment, Xiang Kang was of course staring at the other side of Surabaya from the high ground in the camp, staring at the reaction of the Qin army camp, and he was somewhat worried-but Xiang Kang was not afraid of Xiang Zhuang's defeat. The handsome commando team is an elite team carefully selected from the main force of the young commander's army with a number of more than ten thousand. Its combat effectiveness is trustworthy and its equipment is the best. They are all wearing cowhide armor snatched from the Qin army, and a considerable part of it is the best rhinoceros leather armor of this era. Even if the assault fails, it is enough to block the Qin army's counterattack and persist until the follow-up army of the young commander crosses the river.

What Xiang Kang was afraid of was that Xiang Zhuang would not be able to complete the task of completely defeating the Qin army on the other side. If he could not do this, Zhao Zhuang's troops would flee into Pengcheng City in an organized way, and Wang Yong, the county magistrate of Pengcheng, refused to accept the young commander's army. With the bribe, the next Pengcheng offensive and defensive battle will naturally be as difficult as possible.Only by completely defeating Zhao Zhuang's troops, so that Zhao Zhuang can only flee into Pengcheng with a few remnants of the defeated army, or better force Zhao Zhuang's remnants to flee directly to other cities, is the real reason for Xiang Kang's painstaking arrangement of this surprise battle. Purpose.

The more tense, the more things happened. When the commando team led by Xiang Zhuang rushed to the ferry at the fastest speed, the soldiers suddenly presented a letter written by Xiang Bo with chicken feathers on it to Xiang Kang, and said that it was the young commander who was present. Xiang Xian, the defender of Pengcheng, sent a fast horse to deliver it.And because there was a chicken feather signal on the letter representing the urgency, Xiang Kang could only scramble to open the seal, took out the sealed letter from Xiang Bo and read it in a hurry, but only read the first part, and Xiang Kang was so angry on the spot nose!

It turned out that Xiang Bo spent a lot of manpower and material resources to send the urgent letter from the southern battlefield, which turned out to be a small report letter, and the accusation was that Feng Zhong, the commander-in-chief of the southern battlefield of Donghai County appointed by Xiang Kangxin, did not listen to good words and was self-willed. , the villain will act arbitrarily when he is successful, and treat the lives of soldiers as a trifling matter, causing the young marshals on the southern front to miss the opportunity and be forced to fight an unsure battle of siege.

Anger is nothing but anger, but after carefully reading the details of the letter, Xiang Kang felt a little strange, because Xiang Bo really didn't intentionally fiddle with right and wrong this time, but Feng Zhong really did something a little bit strange this time. Inexplicably, he personally led the army to attack Huaiyin from the east of Xutai. With the main force of Donghai County soldiers completely annihilated and Huaiyin already isolated, Feng Zhong not only flatly rejected the proposals made by the crowd to surrender, but instead publicly played the banner of revenge, declaring that To avenge the young generals and soldiers who were killed in the attack on Huaiyin before, force the Qin army in Huaiyin, which was trapped in the isolated city, to resist stubbornly, and add countless resistance to the young generals' capture of Huaiyin.Xiang Bo personally came forward to persuade Feng Zhong, but Feng Zhong refused to listen. Xiang Bo was so angry that he wrote a letter to report to Xiang Kang.

"Really or not? On such a big matter, Uncle Xiang couldn't openly talk nonsense even if he was two hundred and fifty, right? If it is true, Feng Zhong took the wrong medicine, so how could he use such a stupid trick?"

It was strange in my heart, but the battle in front of me was too urgent, and Xiang Kang didn't have time to carefully figure out whether Feng Zhong's move had some other purpose, or it was just like what Xiang Bo said, a villain will do anything wrong when he gets his way, and take the lives of the young generals as a child's play?After hastily handing Xiang Bo's letter to Zhou Zeng who was curiously inquiring about the content, Xiang Kang temporarily put this matter behind his mind and focused on paying attention to the war on the West Bank.But fortunately, Xiang Kang was relieved by the messy Qin army rushing out of the camp to prepare for the battle, and Xiang Kang was relieved by the brave performance of the Commando of the Young Marshal Army...

…………

Without wasting time to put down the springboard, the Young Marshal's ferry carrying Xiangzhuang's flag had just landed on the west bank of Surabaya, and Xiang Zhuang was the first to jump onto the land on the west bank. Jumped directly onto the west bank of Surabaya, and quickly gathered around Xiangzhuang's flag. Before all the young generals disembarked, and had no time to arrange the formation, Xiangzhuang let out a loud roar and decisively led the army to launch an attack. Charging, the commando of the Young Marshal Army, which was less than a thousand people, roared like thunder, like a sharp arrow flying, and directly rushed towards the chaotic Qin army camp.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows go! Let the arrows go!"

Shouts of extreme panic came and went in the ranks of the Qin army leaving the camp. Without the command of the commander-in-chief, the generals of the Qin army who hurried out of the camp could only use their own experience and judgment to command their own troops to respond to the enemy with arrows. , As a result, this naturally caused the rain of arrows that Qin Jun was good at to be messy, and many arrows were released too early, and there was no threat to flying in front of the young generals, so even if they were lucky enough to kill and wound some young generals, It still couldn't stop the young commander's soldiers from charging, and the young commander's commando was still unstoppable, quickly closing the distance with the Qin army.

"Fire the arrows! Let the arrows go! Fuck you, let the arrows go! Don't be dumbfounded!"

The shouts of the generals and generals of the Qin army became more panicked and chaotic, and the soldiers of the Qin army, which were mostly recruits, became more flustered. Not only did the speed of shooting arrows slow down, but there were also frequent mistakes of returning strings and falling arrows, which made the rain of arrows even worse. It was in a mess, and it was even more unable to block the commando of the Young Marshal Army. The red-eyed soldiers of the Young Marshal Army all walked like flying, and rushed directly to the front of the Qin Army in a blink of an eye, like a torrent, with an unstoppable violent impact Arrived at the horizontal team of the Qin army.

The infantry of the Qin army who knelt on one knee in front of the formation was forced to stand up and fight. Many crossbowmen of the Qin army also subconsciously pulled out their sidearms to prepare for self-defense. When they collided, there was a thunderbolt in front of the Qin army like a sunny day, and countless blood sprayed out in an instant.

Any despicable plots and shameless tricks have lost their effect at this moment. The only thing that decides the outcome of life and death is the swords and spears in the hands of the soldiers on both sides, axes and knives, long swords stabbing, blades cutting down, spears stabbing and pecking. What was raised was also a series of dark red blood sprays. Just the first time they hit, dozens of soldiers from both sides lay down on the battlefield forever.

Fortunately, there are obviously many more soldiers of the Qin Army who lie down forever than the soldiers of the Young Marshal. Originally, the actual combat experience is not as good as the soldiers of the Young Marshal. At the moment of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Qin Army were of course completely at a disadvantage. Dozens of people were beheaded and stabbed to death on the spot, but only a handful of soldiers of the Young Marshal Army were killed in counterattack.The soldiers of the young commander continued to rush forward, and the Qin army's already unorganized front line quickly became chaotic. The soldiers of the Qin army who were terrified to the extreme retreated quickly, and crowded together with their companions in the rear. Then he slashed and killed frantically, striding forward continuously, desperately attacking the Qin army's horizontal team.

The sword kept bringing up blood, the shield slammed into the head, and the spear pierced through the human body. The screams and shouts of killing were endless, and the terrible boom was like the screams of countless innocent souls in Shura Hell.At this moment, the excellent equipment of the young generals played a vital role. Even if they were hit by the enemy's weapons, most of the damage could be offset by the protection of the armor, and it would not be fatal or fatal. Disabled.The soldiers of the Qin Army who had lost most of their weapons and equipment on the battlefield in Fuli were on the contrary. Without the protection of helmets and armor, as long as they were hit by the weapons of the soldiers of the Young Commander, they would be injured at the least, or die directly at worst.

The young marshal's horse-cutting knife, which was first used on the battlefield, became a nightmare for the soldiers of the Qin army. The sharp blade cut off the heads and limbs of the soldiers of the Qin army, and it was easier than chopping firewood. A hit, even the lightest, can cause serious injuries to the soldiers of the Qin army. The soldiers of the Qin army who bear the brunt screamed in despair, unable to believe that there are such powerful weapons in the world, and retreated in panic. His eyes were red, he roared and slashed more fiercely, and also killed the enemy on the opposite side more panicked and confused.

The weakness of the Qin army's lack of strict discipline was fully exposed at this moment. Seeing the critical situation, some soldiers of the Qin army who were greedy for life and fear of death rushed out of the queue, and there were quite a few of them. , tried hard to restrain the team, but it still had little effect. It could not stop the soldiers from fleeing, let alone stop the progress of the young generals.The Qin army's horizontal column in the front collapsed first, and countless soldiers fled back to the camp yelling, followed by the two wings, and the soldiers fled north and south everywhere.

In less than ten minutes from the start of the hand-to-hand combat, most of the Qin army out of the camp collapsed, and the crowd of defeated soldiers fled back to the camp, disrupting the rear of the Qin army that was barely organized with great difficulty, and directly smashing down the large fences on both sides of the camp gate. , The morale of the commando of the Young Marshal Army was like a rainbow, and they drove the defeated Qin army directly into the camp, and rushed the already chaotic Qin army camp into a mess. Fleeing on the road, pushing and trampling each other, the dead are countless.

It is necessary to praise Zhao Zhuang, the chief general of the Qin army. Although the situation has reached this point, the defeat of the Qin army is already doomed, but in order to bring as many defeated soldiers as possible back to Pengcheng to defend the city, Zhao Zhuang still gritted his teeth and let the soldiers hold high his own. Shuai Qi, tried his best to gather the soldiers around him, and under the command of Shuai Qi, he led many defeated Qin soldiers and fled in groups.But it is a pity that none of the young generals led by Xiang Zhuang did not know the dangerous consequences of Zhao Zhuang's attempt to succeed. Under the guidance of Xiang Zhuang's flag, he chased after him, desperately killing the defeated Qin army in front, and at full speed. Chase Zhao Zhuang's banner.

Many smart Qin soldiers quickly realized that following Zhao Zhuang's banner was the most dangerous, and they all wisely chose to flee in all directions. Coupled with the objective reason that Zhao Zhuang was not very popular in the army, the Qin soldiers who surrounded Zhao Zhuang's banner As a result, the number of soldiers decreased rapidly. Zhao Zhuang, who was riding on horseback, yelled wildly, but he still couldn't stop the soldiers from abandoning him quickly. Before halfway to the south gate of Pengcheng, Zhao Zhuang had only soldiers left. Three or four hundred cavalry were dispatched, and the remaining infantry of the Qin army fled all over the mountains and plains, everywhere.At the same time, the troop transport fleet of the Young Marshal Army also returned to the east bank of Surabaya one after another. The rear team of the Young Marshal Army who had been waiting here quickly boarded the ship and began to cross Surabaya again.

At the same time, Wang Yong, the magistrate of Pengcheng County who received the news, had already personally boarded the south gate of Pengcheng. Facing the defeated Qin army who kept fleeing, Wang Yong was also hesitant and contradictory to the extreme, knowing that if he ordered to open the city The door, Pengcheng may still have the hope of continuing to guard it.However, what Wang Yong knows better is that if he closes the city gates and blocks Zhao Zhuang's access to the city, Xiang Kang, who has a good reputation in dealing with surrendered officials, will definitely fulfill his promise and let himself get more money and beauties. Even brighter career prospects.On the line of life and death, the direction of personal destiny is only a matter of thought, Wang Yong really doesn't know how to choose.

"Xianzun, the flag of Junzun is coming soon! Open the door quickly, let Junzun come in!"

"Can't open the door! The thieves are chasing too closely. Open the door at this time. What if the thieves take the opportunity to kill and come in?"

The contradictory opinions of his subordinates made Wang Yong even more upset. He really didn't know how to choose, so Wang Yong simply took out a Qin Banliang, prayed silently to the sky, and then flicked Qin Banliang to the sky.The copper coin drew a beautiful parabola, fell to Wang Yong's feet, and made a crisp sound. Seeing that the words on the copper coin were downward, and looking at the few soldiers of the Qin army around Zhao Zhuang, Wang Yong also gritted his teeth and made up his mind. , shouted: "Do not open the door! Anyone who dares to open the door without the order of the official will be killed immediately!"

The defeated soldiers led by Zhao Zhuang fled in embarrassment. Before they had time to rush to the bridge of the moat, the panic shouts of opening the door had already reached Wang Yong's ears. He personally went to the city to call the gate, but Wang Yong remained motionless. A few accompanying officials kindly reminded him that it was going to be too late, but Wang Yong sternly asked, "The thieves have already been killed, what should we do if we open the gate at this time and the thieves take the opportunity to rush in? "

The shout to open the door quickly turned into desperate crying and begging. Zhao Zhuang, who had vaguely guessed that Wang Yong had betrayed, besides yelling, regretted his repeated self-willedness and missed countless opportunities to enter the city first.It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and when he turned around and saw the pursuers of the young commander approaching in a blink of an eye, Zhao Zhuang could only warmly greet Wang Yong's ancestors, while turning his horse's head, patted the horse and fled towards the open west.

While turning around, Zhao Zhuang snatched his handsome flag with his own hands, smashed it to the ground, and roared: "What are you going to do? You want the thieves to know where I'm going?!"

With the help of the horses, Zhao Zhuang was lucky enough to get rid of the infantry of the Young Marshal's Army, regretting his bowels and fled to the west towards Xiao County. , the four gates of Pengcheng were closed again, and they were not given a chance to escape into the city. In desperation, these soldiers of the Qin army had no choice but to put down their weapons and surrender. Only a small number of soldiers chose to continue fleeing. The Qianqin army was completely disintegrated in less than an hour, and all the supplies and weapons were obtained by the young commander.

After the report on the battle situation in the west bank was in front of Xiang Kang, although Pengcheng was still closed and did not open the city immediately to surrender to the Young Marshal, Xiang Kang still heaved a long sigh of relief, knowing that Wang Yong had made the right choice in the end It was only a matter of time before Pengcheng formally surrendered.In a relaxed state, Xiang Kang smiled at Zhou Zeng and said, "It seems that Wang Yong will be rewarded with some blood. Without his help, whether we can take Pengcheng or not is really a big question."

"It is necessary to give a big reward, but such a person, you'd better use it cautiously, young commander." Zhou Zeng said calmly: "For the reward of money, he can choose to surrender to us, and there is no guarantee that he will betray us for money in the future." us."

"We have to guard against it, but we have to let him be the county magistrate of Pengcheng for a period of time. After a period of time, we have to promote him." Xiang Kang replied: "Otherwise, who will be willing to ask for help in the future?" We surrender?"

After casually discussing with Zhou Zeng about the disposal of Wang Yong, the magistrate of Pengcheng County, Xiang Kang, in addition to directing the main force of the young generals to cross the river in turn, suddenly remembered the matter of Xiang Bo's letter before, and hurriedly asked Zhou Zeng: " Uncle Ya, what do you think of my third uncle's letter after reading it?"

"I can't believe it's true." Zhou Zeng answered his own opinion truthfully, and then said with doubts: "But I feel a little strange, although the young commander asked General Feng to take charge of the war on the southern front, Master Xiang Boxiang must be dissatisfied. , I hope to replace General Feng, this is definitely not wrong. But no matter how greedy Master Xiang is for such a big matter, it is impossible for Master Xiang to openly slander and slander him? Doesn’t he know that for such a big event, you just need to send Can people find out the truth of the matter by just checking it?"

"I also think that the third uncle should not slander out of thin air, this matter should be true." Xiang Kang was also confused, and said very worriedly: "Could it be that Feng Zhong is really muddy and can't support the wall, in order to show himself , Are you really messing around like this? There is a hope to directly recruit the enemies, but why do you want to drive them to a dead end? I remember when I was promoted to General Dangkou, I told him directly that we had wiped out all the enemies in Donghai County. The main force of Tyrant Qin has already captured Tancheng, the governor of Donghai County? Why didn’t he think of using this to persuade the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin to surrender?”

Hundreds of miles away, and no military report from Feng Zhong, Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng certainly couldn't guess the truth of the matter here, but Xiang Kang was thinking about whether to send someone to the southern line to investigate this matter At that time, another messenger was suddenly led to Xiang Kang by the soldiers, and he directly said that it was the messenger sent by Feng Zhong.Xiang Kang was anxious, so he hurriedly asked the messenger directly: "How is the situation on the southern line? How is the fight going?"

"Reporting to the young marshal, the red flag is a victory, and our general Feng has already taken Huaiyin."

Feng Zhongxin's joyful answer made Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng dumbfounded. After looking at each other for a while, Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng exclaimed together: "How is it possible? Why did Feng Zhong drive Huaiyin's tyrannical Qin army to a dead end? Take Huaiyin faster?!"

After the exclamation, Xiang Kang subconsciously glanced at the letter written by Uncle Xiang who had just put it in front of him not long ago, gritted his teeth in his heart, and said to himself: "Uncle Xiang, if you really slandered and fabricated a frame out of thin air, just wait for me." Come on! For such a big matter, I will sue the second uncle, and the second uncle will not spare you!"
