Chapter 52 The Battle of the Two Powers 8

However, the situation on the side of the officers and soldiers is different. Everyone, including Zu Kuan, was scared by the firing of such a platoon gun as Xing Tianjun. No one expected that the firearms of Xing Tianjun were so sharp and fierce. Even the iron armor on their bodies was like paper paste in front of their birds. They first came here. The arrogance of the time was swept away.

It's not that Guan Ning's army is afraid of death. They have gone south to defend Henan in the past two years. They are originally a guest army. For more than a year, under the deployment of Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Broadband has fought with the thieves who entered Henan. Basically, it can be said that they will win every battle, so everyone has slowly developed a kind of pride and has long become a group of pride. Tough generals, there is nothing to say when they go to battle.

But after all, they belong to the guest army in Henan. They have to rely on the local supply of Henan to eat, drink and sleep. However, after several years of military disasters in Henan, they have already been in disrepable. Although they dare not say that they are hundreds of miles, at least it is true that there are no people in villages in many places. In order to maintain them, the government of Henan The use of the foreign army is also bitter. What's more, the wages of the generals of the Guanning Army have always been much higher than that of the mainland troops. In addition, they are basically cavalry, and the consumption of a horse is comparable to that of six or seven pawns. Therefore, it is also very difficult for the Political Department of Henan Province to maintain their use, and it is inevitable that they will be in arrears. Some of them are all northerners. If they win the war, there is nothing to say, but no one is willing to lose their lives in Henan. They still hope that one day after returning to the north, they will return to Zu Dashou and return to their hometown. Not many people are willing to sprinkle blood to this place.

Therefore, after the defeat in the contact war, for this group of Guanning soldiers who have always turned their eyelids up, the blow is still quite a lot, especially in the face of such a Xing Tianjun who has never fought, and they can't find a way to deal with it for a while.

Zu Kuan stared at Xing Tianjun's array and thought for a while. Several plans came to his mind, but they were all rejected by him one by one. After all, the dense firepower shown to them by Xing Tianjun just now also made him quite fensive. He didn't want to capsize in the ditch here anyway. The soldiers under his command were all north. Fang, he doesn't want to fill these brothers in this place in Henan. At this time, the military generals actually see that as long as there are soldiers and generals on hand, then they are masters. Daming has always valued literature over martial arts. Now after the troubled times, the court has gradually begun to rely on Relying on these soldiers and men to maintain it, gradually began to show the situation of troops supporting themselves in various places.

And defeating the battle is nothing. When the court really pursues responsibility for this, if it wants to spank, it is often hit on the buttocks of civilian officials at most. For them, military generals with heavy troops, they really don't dare to go too far. At the beginning, Cao Wenzhao was also defeated in Datong, although it was the court. The order was to be assigned to the army, but it was still saved by Wu Jing. Did he lead the troops in the battle as usual?

Therefore, since Zu Kuan has gone from a small ancestor's domestic slave to the point of becoming a general, he will not fill his elite soldiers into the battlefield and let them shed blood in any case. However, in this battle, he can't help but fight. If he doesn't fight, he is the governor of Henan, Chen Biqian. I can't explain it anywhere, but how to fight it?

After thinking for a while, Zu Kuan's mind flashed, and suddenly gathered his subordinate generals and said to them, "I didn't expect this thief's weapon to be so powerful. It seems that we still underestimated them when we came here. I'm afraid it's not easy to solve them. In this way, You still have to win step by step! If you want to sweep down the thief army in front of them, the wooden fence in front of them must be pulled out! It is said that I will order to transfer the auxiliary troops who came with the army and push them over to the thief's army. In addition, I ordered the auxiliary army to immediately make some thorns on the spot and put them in the front. Although the thief's weapons are sharp, can they still break through the thorns? As long as the pawns can pull out this wooden fence, the riders can step over their array. No matter how powerful their firearms are, they can't stop our iron riders!"

After listening to it, all the generals all think that this method is good. They are all well-known soldiers. Just now, they have already seen the terrain here. This time, the terrain chosen by the thief army to block them is relatively flat, but the lack of virtue is that the flat width of the battlefield is very narrow. Most of them are riders. Soldiers, they need more room to hover on the battlefield, but there are no mountains and forests to the south. Except for the frontal rush, there is no way to play tricks at all. They watched the thief army cross in front of them. They knew that the march turned and moved slowly, as long as they protrude from the flanks. Well, how can this thin wooden fence bring them a little trouble?

Now Zu Kuan wants the auxiliary soldiers to fight and pull out the wooden fence in front of the thief's army, which is also a good way to reduce the casualties of their main cavalry. What's more, these auxiliary soldiers were borrowed from Wang Shaoyu from Henan. Originally, suppressing bandits in Henan was their job, and it was also a matter of course to let them fight. Even if they die, they won't feel sad.

So the generals immediately nodded and agreed to Zu Kuan's proposal, and some soldiers immediately ran to the back and called Wang Shaoyu's subordinate general who accompanied the army.

After Zu Kuan led his troops to Yiyang County this time, Wang Shaoyu could say that he breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that his soldiers and horses were absolutely unbearable, and he also knew something about the Xing Tianjun, so he did not dare to lead his troops to Yongning County to confront the Xing Tianjun who had already captured Yongning County. As soon as he saw Zu Kuan's troops rushed here. Even if they were happy and went out of the city to meet each other, they also squeezed out some of the grain at hand and gave it to Zu Kuan.

When he discussed with Zu Kuan about how to enter the army, Zu Kuan came up with a way to fish. Although he was worried that the more than 1,000 subordinates he sent would be eaten by the Xing Tianjun, he thought that Zu Kuan responded that even if he had lost more than a thousand men, he would just go back and recruit, so he agreed to Zu Kuan's. After blocking the news, this plan sent a general named Liu Dapan to cooperate with Zu Kuan.

Although Liu Dapan was full of slander, he had no choice but to lead his troops out of Yiyang County and marched to Liuquan Town to garrison. With his more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Henan Province as bait, he wanted to transfer Xing Tianjun and let Zu Kuan do it behind his back.

However, he did not expect that Zu Kuan's plan was finally exposed because of Xiao Tianjian's care, so Zu Kuan had to attack Yongning directly, and the more than 1,000 troops in Henan Prefecture led by Liu Dapan became Zu Kuan's auxiliary soldiers.

Originally, in Liu Dapan's opinion, Guan Ning's iron under the command of Zu Kuan rushed to kill. They didn't have to fight at all. They just picked up cheap ones in the back. Although the credit was Zu Kuan's, at least they could share some and reward the money later. You need to get more or less.

So he was graceful behind Zu Kuan's department, swaggered out of Liuquan Town, and then came to this battlefield.

He didn't see the battle launched tentatively by Zu Kuan just now. When he saw Xing Tianjun's fierce firearms beating those Guanning iron riders in rows, he was suddenly shocked. He secretly shouted luck behind the team, secretly, and secretly shouted that fortunately, Xing Tianjun did not go to Zu Kuan's way and came to bite him. Lue, if so, I guess it's inevitable that he is under such a sharp cannon of the Xing Tianjun.

But he didn't expect that Zu Kuan would ask Zu Kuan to lead the soldiers to push up and pull out the wooden fences in front of the Xing Tianjun for Zu Kuan's army. After listening to Zu Kuan's instructions, Liu Dapan was almost scared to pee in his pants. He knew very well what their subordinates were. He had been detained by Wang Shaoyu for a long time because of the soldiers's. These soldiers didn't want to fight at all, but now Zu Kuan asked them to come forward in front of Xing Tianjun and remove those wooden fences. Isn't it enough to let them die?

So he suddenly looked embarrassed and wanted to find a reason to refuse this job, but when Zu Kuan saw Liu Dapan hesitating, even if his face sank, he looked unhappy and asked him, "Is it possible that Mr. Liu Qian doesn't want anything?"

After Liu Dapan's explanation, the Zu Kuan's generals around him scolded one after another: "Your surname is Liu, don't forget that we are a visiting army and are here to help you. This is your job, but now you are asked to do it for you. You can see that my soldiers have died a lot. Are we all dog life? Is the life of your soldiers and generals in Henan Province human life? Can we die? Can't you die? If so, I won't do it. You should fight this battle. Let's look back and see how you can do!"

After listening to the scolding around him, Liu Dapan couldn't help sweating in a cold sweat behind his back. When Wang Shaoyu sent him, he made it clear and asked him to listen to Zu Kuan's scheduling. If he didn't do it, he would disobey the order. Even if Zu Kuan didn't kill him, Wang Shaoyu would not spare him when he went back, and he also knew these gang. Guan Ningjun is not easy to mess with. If they annoy them, they can really do anything.

I think that when their old boss Zu Dashou returned to the capital with Yuan Chonghuan to help the capital, because the current emperor caught Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen issued an order to order Zu Dashou to send troops to rescue the capital. Zu Dashou dared to resist the decree and did not respect it. Now if he does not agree, Zu Kuan really has to lead the department to withdraw, then this crime is only With him carrying it, Liu Dapan has such a head. How can he cut it?

So he quickly accompanied his smiling face and said, "How dare you! Since Lord Zu has an order, there is no reason not to obey the humble position. It's just that this time we are in a hurry. There are few big shields in the army. We need to build some piercers on the spot so that we can fight. I hope that Lord Zu will give some time to prepare for the inferior clerical positions. As long as the inferior position is driven out, the humble general will personally supervise the array and sweep the wooden fence of the thief army for Lord Zu!"

Zu Kuan looked at Liu Dapan coldly and nodded, "Yes! As you said, I'll give you an hour to prepare, and after an hour, you will lead the battle! Remember, there is only one hour, and it won't be late at all. You and I are all in the army. You should know that the military law is ruthless!"

Liu Dapan's back was sweating coldly, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm obedient! I'm obedient! Let's get ready to go!"
