Chapter 1022: Success in the East and Success in the West (Part 15)

Hengdao pretended to be an ordinary soldier and walked in the middle of the large group of people. The tiger-headed face was too scary and conspicuous. Although he really wanted to fight this battle, Bai Yucheng let Hengdao do it without even thinking about it. Dao led his team to complete this fatal blow to Bian Rang. The food and supplies on the two hundred carts were all real, but the three thousand soldiers escorting these carts became soldiers of the Qilu Army. , in order to ensure the success of this surprise attack, Bai Yucheng sent his most elite guards to Hengdao.

This army put on the uniforms of the Qi Guards, and all the paperwork was in place. With the cooperation of Mr. Tian, ​​this army had no flaws. After entering the Zhangjiadian area, it passed several checkpoints of the Chu army. , directly and unimpededly entering the core area of ​​Ice Cave Bay.

Along the way, Hengdao looked at the dangerous checkpoints and narrow passages, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. If he wanted to use his army to fight hard, he would suffer heavy losses but not necessarily gain much. But now, it is much easier.

He looked up at the five hundred most elite troops in the middle of the team. These people were all from the original Han army. They were the old brothers brought by Bai Yucheng from the Han Dynasty. When entering the core area, he was about to Rely on these five hundred people to open up the situation.

"When entering the final area, I will lead five hundred brothers into the last checkpoint. You lead your troops to prepare. Once the battle begins, you must immediately cooperate with the inside and outside to quickly clear the checkpoint, and then start a melee with the Chu army here. At that time, I will What we need is to make chaos and use the individual qualities of our army to be much stronger than our opponents to win this battle." Hengdao said in a low voice to the deputy general Liu Qiang beside him.

"I understand!" Liu Qiang touched the saber at his waist and laughed.

Standing under a city wall about seven or eight meters high, Hengdao raised his head and looked at the city wall, which was tens of meters long. There were cliff arms at both ends. The gate faced the narrow road where he was standing. Behind this city wall should be the core of the Chu army.

The general pretending to be a transport officer was talking to an officer at the gate of the Chu army's city. He handed over all the procedures and documents to his opponent. As long as they were verified to be correct, the city gate in front of him would be opened wide.

The city gate suddenly opened a crack, and a person wearing the uniform of a Qi official suddenly came out and walked in front of the two people who were talking. Hengdao's pupils shrank slightly. Although he didn't recognize this person, he looked at it. Looking at this person's portrait, this is Long Ke, the special envoy of Qi State stationed here. Bai Yucheng also worked hard to ensure that there would be no accidents in this attack.

"Hey, why don't I know you? Wasn't it always Zeng Ke who escorted the grain and grass in the past?" Long Ke looked at the officer of the Qilu Army with some surprise.

"Are you Mr. Long?" The officer coughed dryly, clasped his hands and said, "Sir Zeng Ke can't come. He asked the Grand Duke to go to Pinglu to fight, so the Grand Duke transferred him to General Tian. Listen, I was originally under General Tian. I was injured in the battle some time ago, so I returned to Linzi to recuperate. However, General Zeng Ke took my position this time, and I took his place."

Long Ke curled his lips and said, "There is someone in the court who likes to be an official. This Zeng Ke. In the past, when the war was not going well at the front, he would stay behind and act as a grain officer. Now that he sees that things are going very well, he will immediately go to the battlefield to perform meritorious deeds." You've received the award, hey, I feel sorry for you. You used to work hard, but now you can only pledge food. From now on, you will have a lot of credit, but you won't have a chance to get it!"

"Everywhere I work, I work for the State of Qi, for the king, and for the eldest son. Even if he is escorting food and grass, the junior general will do his best." The officer said with a smile.

"Good man!" Long Ke patted the opponent on the shoulder, "If our Qi country really wants to make a comeback and show its glory again, we still have to rely on people like you. Guys like Zeng Ke are really unreliable."

He waved his hand, "Come in, come in! Open the door!" He raised his head and shouted.

The heavy door slowly opened. When he saw the first carriage entering the door, Hengdao let out a sigh of relief. The most difficult hurdle was finally over. As long as he stepped through the door, everything else would be much easier. .

Two hundred taels of carriages, each with a driver and two guards, a total of 600 people entered the gate. Behind the gate was a large square. On the square, many Chu soldiers were training under the leadership of officers. , when he saw the convoy coming in, he just glanced at it and then turned back.

Looking at the Chu army's drill and military discipline, Hengdao couldn't help but nodded secretly. It's no wonder Zheng Xiaoyang has been fighting for so long and hasn't captured this area yet. The discipline of these Chu troops is indeed extraordinary. It seems that Qu Wan is extremely good at managing the army. Strictly speaking, this Bian Rang is also a rare talent.

Hengdao's wrist flicked slightly, and he slipped a small knife from his cuff. He looked around, suddenly raised his hand, and inserted the knife into the horse's butt with a chirping sound. The horse was not a well-trained war horse. It was just an ordinary pack horse. It received a knife on its butt. It screamed and rushed forward. However, there were densely packed carriages lining up in front of it. After being hit by this collision, chaos immediately arose.

Two hundred coachmen were shouting and shouting, seemingly trying their best to control the horses. In fact, the movements of their hands made the horse teams even more panicked. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of carriages were rushing across the square.

The place was in chaos.

"Control the horses, control them!" The Chu army officer who was leading the team in training saw the reckless horses and ran over with his soldiers, shouting and grabbing a pack horse that was rushing towards him with one hand, and angrily asked the driver on the carriage: "What are you doing? Control it quickly."

The coachman jumped off the carriage with a panicked look on his face and reached out to take the reins from the officer: "Yes, yes, General!"

The Chu army officer looked at the coachman in front of him with astonishment. The coachman held the reins with one hand and stretched out the other hand as if to support the officer, but in his hand , a short knife stabbed into the opponent's chest until the handle was gone.

With a flick of his wrist, the short knife was pulled out, and the carriage rushed forward suddenly. It seemed that the officer was knocked over by the carriage that suddenly went crazy again.

Handing the knife, he chased the carriage all the way to the cave. Behind him, there were still dozens of carriages.

"Stop, stop!" At the entrance of the cave, a dozen Chu soldiers guarding the cave came up with spears. A dozen spears were thrust out at the same time, and with a puff, they all pierced into the packhorse of the running horse. The horse screamed miserably, its four hooves softened, and it knelt on the ground, dragging the carriage slowly overturned, and At that moment, Hengdao reached out and pulled out a big knife from under the grain bag of the carriage that was about to fall. With a roar, he rushed directly into the crowd of Chu soldiers in front of him. The big knife swept across, blood spurted out, and several Chu soldiers in the front fell to the ground and died immediately.

"Kill!" As Hengdao made his move, the faces of the hundreds of Qilu troops who had entered the square changed. The two guards on the carriage drew their knives without hesitation and slashed at the Chu soldiers closest to them, while the coachmen turned around and drew sharp blades from the carriage and slashed at the Chu soldiers who were still stunned.

Long Ke stood at the gate of the city. , was chatting with the officer of the Qilu Corps with a smile on his face. He had been stationed here for several months, and for him who was at home in Linzi, it was inevitable to miss his family. When the two were talking happily, something strange happened on the square. The sudden shouting and killing made Long Ke extremely shocked. He felt a chill on his neck. A big knife was already on his neck. Although the officer who was just talking and laughing with him still had a smile on his face, this smile was really indescribably hideous.

"Go in!" the officer said sternly.

The officer who was just sitting lazily on the road The escort soldiers on both sides turned into tigers descending from the mountain in the blink of an eye. They shouted, jumped up from the ground, and rushed to the city gate. Others took off the bows and arrows on their backs and shot at the Chu army on both sides of the mountain road who were still confused.

"What are you doing? We are all friendly troops!" Long Ke said in a trembling voice.

The officer laughed, "Sir Long, Master Tian is already impatient to deal with these greedy Chu people, so he ordered us to deal with these guys. Sir Long, you stay here honestly, don't talk or move, and your life will be safe. Otherwise, If you lose your head and body, you can't blame us."

"I won't move, I promise not to move!" Long Ke raised his hands high and stood close to the city wall, fearing that a wrong move would attract a sharp blade.

"What does the eldest son want to do? If you kill these Chu soldiers, who will guard Zhangjiadian? Isn't this a pain for the relatives and a joy for the enemies?" He wailed in his heart, but to him, the eldest son Tian was a high-ranking figure, and he was just a specific staff member.

Deep in the cave, Tang Wan did not come out, but continued to deal with the piled-up official business. Tens of thousands of Chu soldiers At the various checkpoints distributed in the Zhangjiadian Mountain area, the exchange of various official documents and the allocation of military rations and supplies are extremely complicated. Linzi has sent a large amount of supplies, which is a good thing, indicating that they can store a large amount of supplies and food privately.

The sudden shouting and killing outside made Tang Wan look up in surprise. In recent times, although there have been small teams of Han army trying to attack here from time to time, they can't get anything except losing manpower in vain. What's the matter with the shouting and killing outside?

He just walked to the entrance of the cave, and a Chu soldier in front of him was already stumbling and running "General Tang, it's bad. The Qi army has attacked us and has occupied the city wall. Now they are coming."

Tang Wan's mind was blank. The Qi army is coming?!

Ten miles away from here, Hu Tou led 5,000 soldiers of the Qi and Lu Legion, anxiously waiting for news from the front.

"Look, General Hu Tou, smoke signals, smoke signals!" An officer suddenly jumped up and shouted.

"The sword has been obtained. Let's go, let's go!" Hu Tou jumped in like a rabbit, as if he was stung by a poisonous bee, jumped on his horse, and rushed forward with his whip. (To be continued)
