Chapter 116 Fog War
At this moment, under the scorching sun, Zhang Chong faced the troops, raised his sword, pointed it at everyone, and said with a smile:
"Just now I said that I would conquer the world with you brothers with the sword in my hand. Then Xiao Wang said that some powerful people also have swords, and there are also people, and there are more. Yes, Xiao Wang is right, people with swords have people. , and more than you.”
Many of Taishan's new recruits are confused. How can I tell them this? Conquering the world has nothing to do with them. They serve as soldiers just to make ends meet. I heard that if they do well here, they can even get a job. Other than that, I have no other ideas.
The old soldiers who followed Zhang Chong for a long time in the army, especially the old brothers who had followed Zhang Chong before entering Mount Tai, all looked at each other. They all looked at Qu Kui eagerly, expecting him to tell them the way. These old brothers knew from the beginning that they were not here to be thieves, but to do justice for heaven.
Zhang Chong raised his sword and said:
"There is truth in this world, and this principle is that there are swords and people. If you have swords and many people, others will listen to the truth you say. So now that we have few swords and people, does it mean that we are less reasonable? No!
Because above the truth is the law of heaven, and this law of heaven is that everyone wants to live, and even more, want to live a good life. So don’t look at the fact that we have few knives and few people now. But if we unite all the poor people in the world, who can be more numerous than us?
Therefore, we want the poor people in the world to know that we are their team, the team that makes decisions for them, and the team that leads them to live a decent life. At that time, it was the real scene of the world.
Xiao Wang also said before that the world must be governed by scholars. This is true. But who says we can’t read, read, or do math.
Today, I want to tell you another natural principle: that is, we farmers can be warriors, scholars, or anything else. We must believe in our own strength. This world belongs to all farmers, because we create wealth and civilization.
So, does the prince, general, Xiang Ning, have any idea? have! That’s all from our farmers! Work hard, gentlemen, this world will definitely belong to us. ”
These words excited everyone present. They threw their turbans in the air and cheered. It turned out that they were the creators of everything.
And Wang Han was also moved, thinking of his own experience.
He is a knight-errant from Shouzhang in Yanzhou. He has been vigorous since childhood and taught himself civil and military skills. The family couldn't afford bacon, so they eavesdropped on lectures outside people's homes while herding cattle. If there was no one in the family who was good at martial arts, he would become a ranger and trade his life for fighting skills. In this way, when he felt that he was not successful in both civil and military affairs, he asked a fortune teller to approve his fate.
The fortune teller was unwilling to pay attention to him at first, but later he saw that he had drawn out his sword and said:
"You are a gardener, but your life is very thin, and you have no distinction between fame and officialdom."
Wang Han did not kill the fortune teller because he also felt that the fortune teller was right. Rangers like him are everywhere in Yanzhou. It doesn't matter if you read some books and understand some principles. A ranger is still a ranger. He will either be stabbed to death by his enemies on the side of the road, or he will become a guest of a local tycoon.
But now, Wang Han looked at this man in the sun. His name was Zhang Chong. He was a farmer's son like himself. He was braver and more sensible than himself. And now he told Wang Han that all the people in this world Reason is a fist, and when we gather all the poor people in the world, we will be the most reasonable people in the world.
When the time comes, Wang Han wants to see who can say that his farmer's son is destined to be nameless and without wealth.
In this way, Zhang Chong regrouped his troops and led his troops to the west, where there were still Dongpingling troops to deal with.
——
But Zhang Chong didn't know that when his troops were lost in the fog, Guan Yu and Yang Mao already knew that there was a problem on Zhang Chong's side.
Don’t you know? They have finished fighting here, but there is no movement on the east side. After the two generals joined forces, they raised their troops as soon as they discussed it.
At this moment, the mountain fog began to rise, and soon it enveloped the entire battlefield.
The two thousand men under Guan Yu and Yang Mao were all veterans Zhang Chong left behind specially, and he brought the new soldiers himself. So when the fog came up, although the soldiers made a commotion, they quickly continued to march towards Wei City, which was three miles northeast.
The Taishan soldiers stepped on the dewy ground and walked through the thick fog, unable to see more than five steps.
At the forefront was Feijun General Meng Ju. Yang Mao ordered him to lead the flying army to carry the flag as a scout for the front army, and first go to the direction of Wei City to conduct reconnaissance.
At this time, Meng Ju and other flying troops were very tired carrying flags. They had set out in advance to conduct reconnaissance for the previous night attack. From then until now, they had been conducting reconnaissance for at least three hours.
Meng Ju and Zhong Beiqi slapped each other to encourage themselves. There were some people in the team who knew about herbal medicine. They had prepared some silver elixir grass before, and now they were passing it around to chew it. As expected, everyone felt much better.
In fact, this is also the norm in Taishan. It can be said that since the founding of the army, Taishan has been either on the way to fighting or fighting.
Some officials also complained that General Shi's soldiers were so tired that they would often run to the other side to continue fighting without taking a break after a battle.
They said, can't everyone be given a break?
These strange words later reached Duman's ears, and he specifically sought out these strange words to talk about, saying:
"It's not that we want to fight, but that the enemy won't let us rest. Since we entered the mountain, we have been surrounded by enemies. Because we are outsiders, our appearance has broken the long-standing balance of power in Mount Tai, so often when an enemy is eliminated here, another enemy there is The enemy's allies have arrived. At this time, what can we do? We can only pick up the sword and continue fighting with them. Only by killing a real leader in this mountain will the chaos end."
What Duman said is very reasonable. Just like the survival of nature, each ethnic group has its own ecological niche.
And when an alien population enters this ecological environment, all species relationships will be reshuffled until a new ecological chain is formed.
Zhang Chong's Taishan Fang is such an alien species. His relationship with the bandits in the mountain and the powerful people outside the mountain all need to be cultivated by him. Fortunately, Taishan has seen the light of day. I believe that Taishan will usher in a slightly peaceful development period in the near future.
When the time comes, we will consolidate our foundations and accumulate troops and grains to wait for the year of Jiazi.
Of course, Zhang Chong also took into account the hard work of the soldiers in the fierce battle, so the food on weekdays was not cheap, heavy on oil and salt. Gaiters were also used to relieve soldiers' fatigue.
These efforts have allowed Taishan soldiers to form a fighting style that is resistant to fighting and dare to fight. Dejected in the fog, we finally arrived at Wei City, which was already boiling. The enemy soldiers had previously seen the flames rising to the sky in the west and shouting to kill. It was only because of heavy fog that we didn't leave the village.
Following Mengju was Li Damu's Daozhentun camp. As soon as they arrived, they deployed their troops on the northeast slope. Followed by Xie Bi, Dian Wei, Heifu and other villages, they joined the battlefield and were deployed on the west and south sides of Wei City.
Finally, there were the large banners of the two generals Guan Yu and Yang Mao. They slowly stopped on the slope of Li Damu's tribe in the mist.
Then the drums beat loudly, and Generals Guan and Yang came and beat the battle drums directly.
Daozhentun of Changxi and Li Wu is just south of Wei City. Hearing the sound of drums at this time, he took the lead and marched slowly in the mist.
Arrows shot from time to time in the mist, which were the enemy soldiers on the opposite side firing arrows.
Li Wu led his camp on the right, and he kept shouting at all the generals in the camp:
"Deng Chong and Shi Lang, lead your troops to the left, spread out the whole camp, and form a sparse formation."
Then Li Wu saw a similar sword fighting team suddenly emerge from the mist. Just as he was about to give the order, he saw yellow scarves on their foreheads and knew that they were stationed by Chang Xi and others.
Chang Xi and the others walked quickly but dispersed. The people in the front could already see the lights on the wall of the wall opposite Wei City, and the people in the back bumped head-to-head with Li Wu and the others.
The generals on both sides confirmed their identity badges, then responded to each other and continued to move closer to the north.
At this time, in the mist, various orders to the troops were coming from various generals, all of which were telling the soldiers to disperse their lines. Then Li Wu and the others drove into a vegetable field, and could still see green onions on the ground.
A few of them pulled out a green onion, chewed it, and then vomited it all up. "Hey, mother, it smells like shit." Their general saw these few pulling onions and immediately scolded them to continue moving forward.
At this time, Shi, who was walking in the middle, could already hear the fighting figures ahead. Good guy, the other side actually dared to fight. In the heavy fog, he even dared to send troops to fight with them in the heavy fog.
All the soldiers were shocked, knowing that they had encountered real elite soldiers.
At this moment, Li Wu's general Deng Chong was walking in the mist with Suo Shi, and suddenly there was a shower of arrows in the mist. The brothers below Deng Chong were startled and immediately fell to the ground.
Deng Chong was so angry that he cursed:
"Let's move on. These arrows won't hurt you, so keep walking."
Seeing that everyone was fine, the few people who were throwing themselves on the ground stood up angrily and continued to follow Deng Chong.
At this moment, Deng Chong suddenly saw an enemy general in a red shirt rushing towards him in the fog. He was so excited that he immediately surrounded him with himself.
This was obviously an enemy general who got lost in the fog. He was looking around in panic, eager to find his troops, but what he was waiting for was Deng Chong and others.
Without any suspense, Deng Chong captured him and had the prisoner sent to the garrison general Li Wu. He felt that the head would be needed.
Then Deng Chong took Suo Shi and continued to move forward. He didn't know how long he walked. Finally, he saw rows of horses in the fog. Looking to the left, the outline of a fair city was looming in the fog.
It turned out that they somehow reached the east side of Wei City.
At this moment, on the left side, they saw silhouettes of people in the mist, and there were constant shouts of killing. Deng Chong knew that there must be enemy soldiers over there.
At this moment, Shi Lang, who had been following Deng Chong, also came with his things.
Shi Lang also discovered the situation after he arrived, and looked at Deng Chong to see what he meant.
Deng Chong glanced at his brother, took a deep breath, and said to Shi Lang:
"Shi, wealth comes from danger. Do you dare to come in from here with me? Let us two brothers give him a poke in the butt."
"Why don't you dare?"
