Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Although Bandit Zhao didn't send troops into the mountains to attack us before, you have already been defeated, there is no reason not to chase you down.

Even if I'm behind you, that's not the reason why they don't hunt you down.Even if you don't chase them down, at least you should send a troop to hunt them down along your escape route, but the defenders outside didn't do that. "

"My lord, do you mean that there are not many defenders outside?" Cao Wenzhao was slightly startled, and looked at Sun Chengzong.

"That's right, the number of defenders outside will definitely not be many. The road you take is the widest road out of Zhuolu Mountain. There are not many defenders on this road, which means the defenders at other exits Not many." Sun Chengzong narrowed his eyes and analyzed calmly.

"But my lord, even if the number is small, we can't rush out. Bandit Zhao's weapons are really too powerful, too powerful, even if there is no artillery, just the terrifying firecrackers can defeat us.

When my men faced those firecrackers, they didn't even have the power to parry them. "Cao Wenzhao looked scared.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao was already frightened by the weapons of the defenders. He had fought for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen such terrifying weapons.

"How about this, you go down and take care of your wounds first, you are not to blame for all this." Sun Chengzong said.

Sun Chengzong did not punish Cao Wenzhao at this time, after all, Cao Wenzhao is really not to blame for all this.

After Cao Wenzhao went out, Sun Chengzong asked all the officers of the general with more than a thousand households to gather together.

When these people were standing in the entire big tent, Sun Chengzong stood at the front and said: "Before, I asked General Cao to lead 5000 troops to test the bandits. Although General Cao failed, I have already figured out something. .

When General Cao was defeated, Zhao's troops did not pursue him.In the past, Zhao thief's soldiers and horses did not go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them. I can still understand, but General Cao's soldiers and horses have already been defeated. Why didn't Zhao thief's soldiers and horses pursue them?

Why didn't they pursue it?This officer feels that their strength must be insufficient.If they send troops to pursue, the defense force will definitely be insufficient. "

Sun Chengzong's voice echoed in the big tent, and the officers under him watched him quietly.

"Zhao thief's soldiers and horses are not enough, which is a good thing for us. We can let soldiers and horses keep trying to pull Zhao thief's soldiers and horses, and attract Zhao thief's soldiers and horses into the mountain.

If the Zhao bandits in a certain place can't bear this temptation, they will definitely go into the mountains to pursue them.In this way, we can take the opportunity to break through their defenses.

The number of defenders deployed by Zhao thief outside Zhuolu Mountain is not large, and the number of defending soldiers is not large. As long as we find a way to attract some of Zhao thief's soldiers and horses into the mountain, then we will definitely be able to break through Zhao thief's defense line and approach the city of Xuanzhen.

Now, the officer orders..."

Sun Chengzong looked around for a week and kept giving orders.

Sun Chengzong's order was to pull out some of the soldiers in his hands and divide them into several small parts. These parts broke through from each exit.

When breaking out of the siege, try to attract the soldiers and horses that Zhao Wen arranged outside Zhuolu Mountain to the forest.

Once the defenders in a certain place are attracted in, Sun Chengzong will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to rush directly from this place.

"Do you understand?" Sun Chengzong looked at these officers and asked loudly.

"I'll understand!" The officers in the big tent replied loudly.

Sun Chengzong nodded, "In that case, you should hurry down now and start marching according to my orders. As for those who are not selected by me, stay here and wait with me."

Under Sun Chengzong's order, the generals selected by Sun Chengzong rushed out of the big tent and came to the place where their soldiers and horses were stationed.

After a brief arrangement, these soldiers and horses began to move to the north, northwest, and northeast of Zhuolu Mountain.

On the second day, Zhang Dong's defenders outside Zhuolu Mountain were almost all attacked by soldiers and horses sent by Sun Chengzong.

Zhang Dong also soon learned the news. He stood on a small hill, looking at the Zhuolu Mountain in front of him, with a calm expression on his face.

"Sun Chengzong really deserves his reputation. In the past few days, almost all the soldiers and horses I deployed outside Zhuolu Mountain have been attacked. It seems that Sun Chengzong is going to make a real move." Zhang Dong said calmly.

"My lord, now that Sun Chengzong has launched a full-scale attack, shouldn't we rush in? Wipe out Sun Chengzong and others?" The company commander of Zhang Dong's guard company stood behind Zhang Dong, looking eager to try.

"Hehe!" Zhang Dong chuckled, "Why go in? The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and we don't have many people in our hands. How many people can we hunt and kill in the mountains? If so, it's better to stay quietly in Zhuo Outside Lushan, slowly waiting for them to come out.

Anyway, they can't break through our defense line. There is no need for us to rush into the mountains like this and fight with Sun Chengzong. "

Zhang Dong didn't want to go into the mountains to fight with Sun Chengzong at all. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the manpower is insufficient. Although the weapons are powerful, it is really not a wise move to go into the mountains to fight with Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses.

"Besides, what if soldiers and horses from a certain line of defense rush in, and then Sun Chengzong seizes this opportunity and rushes out from here, what should we do then?" Zhang Dong asked rhetorically.

"This, this..." The commander of the guard company didn't know how to answer for a while.

"But my lord, it's okay for our brothers in the guards, after all, they have made a lot of contributions by following His Majesty in the north and south, but these reserve soldiers are not necessarily the same.

They have been stationed in the area all year round and have no chance to make meritorious deeds. Now that the meritorious service is in front of them, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the temptation and rush in with their troops, ignoring your lord's military orders. "The company commander of the guard said with a worried face.

"What you said is not unreasonable, so let's get someone to send an order to all the defenders, telling them that no one is allowed to enter the mountain, even if Sun Chengzong's troops are defeated badly, no one is allowed to enter.

Tell them, after this battle is over, I will definitely go to His Majesty in person to give them credit.Anyone who ignores military orders will be punished directly for disobedience on the battlefield. " Zhang Dong said in a cold voice.

"Obey!" The guard company commander gave a military salute, and then hurriedly arranged.

That afternoon, Zhang Dong's order reached the ears of all the defenders.

Outside a narrow passage in the northwest of Zhuolu Mountain, a battalion of reserve soldiers and horses was stationed here.

Because the place is small and the roads are narrow, there are not many defenders here.

At the outermost part of the passage, these reserve soldiers set up two lines of defense. Because the weapons and equipment were not as good as those of the guards, these people had to shrink their troops and hit the firepower.

These reserve soldiers and horses have just repelled an attack by Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses.

There was a military tent at the end of the line of defense, Zhang Xiliang, the reserve battalion commander, stood at the door of the big tent, holding a military order that had just been delivered in his hand.

"Good guy, I have repeatedly ordered you not to enter the mountain to pursue. I really don't understand what this Zhang Dong is thinking. Now, the weapons in our hands are many times stronger than Sun Chengzong. What is he afraid of?" Zhang Dong said. Xi Liang looked at the military newspaper in his hand and said with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, the attack we encountered today was really too small. The enemy army that rushed over was only one or two hundred people, and they were beaten away by us from a distance. We captured too little. The place we defended was originally It's relatively remote. If we stay here, I'm afraid we won't be able to make much contribution after the war is over.

These guards are all His Majesty's treasures. They fought with His Majesty in the north and south, and made a lot of meritorious deeds. The families of these Guards are very rich. How can we compare them?

These credits are nothing to the Guards, but they are different to us. "A company commander under Zhang Xiliang said with a dissatisfied face, and his words were full of complaints.

Zhang Xiliang said: "How come I don't know what you said? But now that His Majesty has appointed Zhang Dong as the person in charge of this battle, we can only listen to him. If he doesn't let us pursue, we can't pursue. Military orders are like mountains. "

"Zhang Dong is not as old as I am. He is just lucky and has spent a long time with His Majesty. If I had joined the army as early as he did, I wouldn't be just a reserve company commander now.

Reserve reserve, as the name suggests, we are just reserve soldiers and horses, nothing more. "The company commander kept complaining.

Also, because of their status restrictions, these reserve soldiers can't make much military merit.If there is no this war, they will just make do with it.

But this time God gave them the opportunity to make meritorious service. If they can seize this opportunity and make some meritorious service, it will be good for these soldiers.

But if you can't make a contribution to this war, it will be more uncomfortable than not having this war.

"Your complaints are suppressed by me, do you think I am willing to lie here? I also want to rush over, but the military order is difficult, what can I do?

Alright, shut up, stay here, don't think about other things. " Zhang Xiliang scolded.

The company commander had no choice but to return to the line of defense.

Zhang Xiliang walked to a hillside behind the defense line, he held up the binoculars and looked ahead.

After a long time, he put down the binoculars in his hand, and sighed, "Grandma, you have encountered an attack at the end of the day, what credit is there for this? What a ghost!"

As soon as the words fell, a army of about 400 soldiers appeared in front of the defense line.

Holding up the binoculars, Zhang Xiliang saw these soldiers and horses approaching, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"It's finally here. I can't let you run away this time." Zhang Xiliang ran towards the defense line as he spoke, and when he came behind the defense line, he shouted: "Brothers, put me closer before you fight. We can't let them escape this time."

Chapter 664 Chapter 664: In the trap

Zhang Xiliang stood behind the line of defense, holding up his binoculars and watching the soldiers and horses approaching quietly.

All the soldiers on the defense line also geared up and stared at them.

At this moment, for these reserve soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses rushing over are no longer human beings, but soldiers who can walk one by one.

Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to the defense line, and their speed was getting slower and slower.

These soldiers and horses are all soldiers and horses who come to test and lure, so the closer to the line of defense, the slower the speed.

When these soldiers and horses were less than 200 meters away from the defense line, Zhang Xiliang gave the order to attack.

For a while, there was loud gunfire, and the howling of 40 fire continued.

The bullets flew over with these reserve soldiers' enthusiasm for credit.

The reserve soldiers fought for seven or eight minutes, and these soldiers and horses who came to test turned around and ran away.

Zhang Xiliang looked at the soldiers and horses running away in front of him, and kept cursing, "Damn it, really damn it, what a fart, what a fart, what a fart. It's endless, endless, I want to make some credit Is it really that difficult? What a fart you guys are!"

Zhang Xiliang kept patting his thighs, yelling and cursing in frustration.

It didn't take long for these soldiers and horses who came to test out the attack range of Zhang Xiliang and the others.

After these soldiers and horses ran out of the attack range, they ran away.

"Damn it, damn it, no credit at all!"

"It's really bad luck, it's really bad luck, are these people rabbits? What are they running for!"

"These are all military exploits, why did they just run away like this?"

The defenders above the line of defense started discussing one after another, venting their inner dissatisfaction.

The previous company commander ran up to Zhang Xiliang, "My lord, what kind of battle do you call this? If we continue to fight like this, what merit do we have? Why don't we go home and pick up the children."

"What do you mean by that? Do you think I am willing? These people ran away, what can I do? Is it possible to catch up?" Zhang Xiliang scolded with a frown.

At this time, all the company commanders on the defensive line ran in front of Zhang Xiliang.

"My lord, we can't go on like this. This battle is an opportunity for us. If we grasp it, we can make a lot of military achievements, but if we don't grasp it, then we can only do it." Watching other people eat meat."

"Yes, my lord, these people are all rabbits, and they run fast. In addition, our place is too remote, this time the enemy has escaped, who knows if it will appear again next time, if not , then we really have no credit.”

"My lord, the Imperial Guards don't lack military merits, but we lack them. Now that His Majesty is attacking the city and plundering the land, it is estimated that after the entire world is conquered, he will be rewarded according to meritorious deeds. How can we live without any merit?"

These company commanders surrounded Zhang Xiliang, complaining all over the place.

Zhang Xiliang looked at these company commanders, and shouted: "What do you mean by these words? Do you mean that I will lead you to chase after them? Don't forget, the military order above prohibits us from entering the mountains to pursue them. I took you into the mountains to pursue, and when the time comes, the higher-ups will blame me, can I, the battalion commander, still do it?"

"But my lord, if we just let the enemy army escape like this, what should we do brothers? These brothers didn't get any credit for their achievements. If they go back then, they will definitely be stabbed in the back.

Besides, our place is remote, we just need to chase in quietly and come back before dark, as long as no one finds out, everything will be fine. "

"Yes, my lord, as long as we sneak in and capture some people back, then everything will be fine."

These company commanders chattered and tried to persuade Zhang Xiliang.

"Hmph, talking nonsense, to put it lightly. Is it that easy to chase down the enemy army because of the high mountains and dangerous roads? Don't forget, we are not the guards, and the weapons in the army are not as many as theirs, and there are forests. If we stop it, can we really capture the enemy so easily?" Zhang Xiliang retorted.

"My lord, you can't say that. Although our weapons don't dare to compare with those of the guards, they are still much more powerful than the enemy's. As long as we go into the mountains and pursue them, we will surely capture many prisoners. At that time, as long as we are conservative This secret, after the war is over, this is a real credit.

If we do nothing, let these enemy troops escape like this.Once the war is over, we will have nothing when we go back, and we will never have such a good opportunity again.

My lord, think about it, if we take more prisoners and make more contributions, we might even be recruited into the regular army.

As long as you join the regular army, what kind of credit is there?My lord, think twice! "

……

These company commanders persuaded Zhang Xiliang one by one, and tried their best to persuade Zhang Xiliang to agree with them to pursue the enemy.

Even the soldiers on the defense line looked at Zhang Xiliang eagerly.

Zhang Xiliang's eyes swept over these people one by one.

At this time, Zhang Xiliang's heart was very tangled.

If you don't pursue the enemy army, it means that the credit for getting it is gone, and when the merits are rewarded in the future, they will have nothing to do.

But if you pursue the enemy, that is battlefield disobedience.

In Xuanzhen, disobedience on the battlefield is not a small crime.If the higher-ups knew about the pursuit of the enemy this time, and if a lot of enemy troops were captured, the punishment might be less.

But if you don't get anything, you will be dismissed from office and put in prison.If the enemy broke through the line of defense at this time, Zhang Xiliang could not escape death.

Zhang Xiliang kept thinking about all the powerful relationships involved.

"But what if the enemy breaks through our defense line after we rush in, what should we do?" Looking at the company commanders, Zhang Xiliang asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, no, these enemy troops are not our opponents at all. How dare they break through our defense line at this time? You can tell from their appearance that they have no courage.

Moreover, we went in for a little while, and they had no time to break through our defense. "

"My lord, give an order quickly, it's getting late."

Under the persuasion of these company commanders, Zhang Xiliang finally made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and was heartbroken, "Remember, we only go in for an hour, and there should not be too many people, the rest of us must stay here.

Furthermore, this matter is not allowed to be spread outside the public, if it is found out by the higher authorities, even if we take credit for it, it will have no effect. "
