There was fierce fighting on the battlefield ahead.
The strong men and auxiliary soldiers of the Taishan Army were also busy non-stop.
Zheng Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked his men to be more careful before he had time to take a sip of water.
After rescuing Le Jin, Zheng Da's luck improved.
Now he has become a small official in the supply camp, and is in charge of more than fifty stretchers. He is also a decent person.
He was drinking water when he suddenly saw two idiots running around like headless flies carrying a stretcher.
Zheng was so angry that he yelled:
"You idiots, follow the stretcher in front and go to the battlefield. The injured brothers are waiting for you to save their lives."
The two idiots hurriedly responded and followed a flow of people and ran towards the battlefield.
In fact, it is not the fault of these two farmers. It is really too chaotic in the rear of the battlefield.
Wounded soldiers continued to be sent down from the front, and then auxiliary troops from the baggage battalion had to carry armor, weapons, and arrows to support the front line. Then both sides of the road were crowded with baggage and grain.
What a messed up word.
At this time, another group of remaining soldiers retreated carrying the military flag.
Zheng's sharp eyes could tell at a glance that it was the Zhonghu Army's trap.
He led a group of people carrying water and went up to meet them.
At this time, the officials who were trapped in the camp were in bad condition and were dejected. Zheng Da didn't dare to say anything, so he asked people to put down the water and prepare to do other things.
Those officials who were trapped in the camp were not arrogant. Under the restraint of a few military officials, they continued to use water.
Zheng Da, who walked to the side, vaguely heard the words "shame", "blood shame", "gratitude" and "yellow sky" being said by the military officials.
What did he say, "Don't let the Taishan Army look down on our Yellow Turban Army."
Only then did Zheng Da realize that this group of people who had retired to reorganize were the old Yellow Turban Army soldiers.
Zheng Da curled his lips and straightened his waist without any intuition, feeling quite confident.
From here, it can be seen that the integration of the Yellow Turban Army and the Taishan Army still has a way to go.
On one side of the retreating camp, there was also a group of unarmed Qin and Hu Yicong, including infantry and cavalry. They were all clinging to the carriage attentively and watching the situation on the battlefield.
Whenever there is something exciting, someone will tell it to the following Pao Ze, and then there will be a burst of applause.
This group of people was the Ma Teng tribe who were the first to rebel before the war. After they were led back, they were arranged to rest here.
Then in front of these people, it was different from the bleak situation of those trapped in the camp just now.
A group of wounded soldiers also retired, but they were carrying military flags and beaming with joy.
They held high the battle flags and weapons captured from the enemy and showed off their power beside the robe. Especially in front of the defeated soldiers trapped in the camp, he walked three times, causing the latter to yell and curse.
And these people are different from the previous wounded soldiers. Many of them refused to be sent down on stretchers even if they were injured. They must walk back together with their robes, and that will be their triumphant return.
Looking at these different landscapes, Zheng Da sighed with emotion that our old Taishan army was still the toughest.
At this time, Zheng Da suddenly heard someone calling him.
But it was Niu Er and a few others. They walked over step by step with a captive whose clothes were torn and stained with blood.
Zheng cursed:
"What happened when I asked you to fetch water?"
Na Niuer said angrily:
"Team leader, we were fetching water from the stream, and this man suddenly jumped out. At first glance, he was a spy."
Hearing that he was a spy, Zheng Da hurriedly ran over. He first looked at the prisoner's mouth and then touched his body. He was so skinny that he didn't look like a spy.
But no one can be sure whether he is a spy or not. What if he falls into the wrong hands and beheaded as a spy? But he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to say:
"You are a spy."
The prisoner was very excited and kept shouting, but neither side could understand.
Zheng Da and Le Jin were all from the Dongjun and Chenliu areas of Yanzhou. The person in front of him probably spoke the local dialect. After thinking about it, Zheng Da asked his subordinates:
"Do any of you understand what this man is saying?"
Everyone looked around, and finally there was a former businessman who raised his hand and said:
"The spy said he was looking for someone with a large apricot-yellow paper and a nine-section staff. He said that his elder brother wanted him to bring a message to this person."
Zheng Da muttered:
"There is no such person here."
Suddenly, Zheng Dafu came to his heart and slapped his thigh in disbelief:
"Mother Xie, you are not looking for the king, are you?"
Zheng Da has never met the king, but he also knows that our king always carries a large banner "Practice for Heaven" when marching and stationed, and the nine-section staff obtained from the Taiping Dao.
Zheng Da grabbed the man and said fiercely:
"What a spy, who are you? Dare you come to assassinate the king?"
The captured prisoner was naturally the White Rabbit.
In fact, Bai Hu thought it was too simple. He was of too low a background. It was not clear that his brother Bai Rabbit would never have the slightest chance to get close to Zhang Chong, let alone wartime, even in peacetime.
Therefore, as soon as White Rabbit ran to the edge of the battlefield, he was arrested by the auxiliary soldiers of the supply camp because of his suspicious behavior.
If he hadn't met a kind man, his life would have been long gone.
Maybe it's because of his Bai family's luck, maybe it's because Zhang Chong is really lucky, but in short, Bai Tu, a young man, met Zheng Da.
Being dragged by Zheng Da at this time, White Rabbit immediately realized that something was wrong. The cleverness in his nature saved him. He said to the person who could understand his own language:
"My brother is from Taiping Road. He exchanged his life for a piece of news related to the Taishan Army. Take me to see the leader of your family. I know him. He is General Chongtian."
At this moment, White Rabbit understood everything.
White Rabbit's words were relayed to Zheng Da, but at this time, Zheng Da was in trouble.
He realized that the second greatest opportunity in life had appeared in front of him.
The first time was when he pulled Le Jin out from the pile of corpses.
But this is too risky. Who knows that this person is not a secret spy of the enemy army? Even if the king is brave and powerful, he can crush this person with one finger.
But as long as this person is a spy and Zheng Da takes him there, he will be implicated beyond redemption.
So do you want to gamble or not?
Zheng Da's eyes changed, and suddenly he saw Bai Rabbit's eyes, which were pleading.
He thought of the first sentence this man just said:
"My brother paid for it with his life..."
Zheng Da sighed and understood.
He looked seriously into White Rabbit's eyes and asked one last time:
"Do you really have important information for the king?"
Human communication sometimes does not require words, just a look.
Looking at Zheng Da, Bai Tu nodded sharply.
Finally, Zheng Da decided to go all out and take White Rabbit to see the king.
But the subordinates all said:
"Leader of the team, let's forget it. How can we see the King whenever we want?"
Seeing that his authority was being questioned, Zheng Da blushed and cursed:
"You guys know nothing. Do you know that Sima, the cavalry army under the Central Guards Army, has a life-long friendship with our old Zheng. If we ask him to guide us, how can we not see the king?"
Seeing that the team leader was so determined, everyone rushed forward and expressed their willingness to protect the team leader to see the king.
In the end, Zheng Da picked two, one was the merchant who had just sent the message, and the other was Niu Er who had captured the white rabbit.
Taking White Rabbit into custody, the three of them went to the tent area in front, where the Chinese army was located.
The closer they got here, the more they could see troops being mobilized to the front line, and Zheng Da and the others began to feel the noise and smell of the battlefield. Following the wind, a hot fishy smell billowed in, and Zheng Da couldn't stand it anymore.
He was already trembling and nervous, but when he was hit by the smell, he immediately vomited.
The movement here caused a loud shout:
"Which department are you from? Tell me the password."
The person who said this was a tough warrior with an iron spear in his hand and five armored soldiers who shouted angrily at them.
Zheng Da immediately stopped trembling and quickly answered the password:
"Rebuilding mountains and rivers."
Seeing Zheng Da answer the password, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The warrior was Cheng Pu, the general in charge of the patrol.
He walked up to Zheng Da and solemnly said:
"Which branch are you from and why are you in the Chinese Army?"
Zheng Da nervously replied:
"General, our name is Zheng Da, and we are the leader of the stretcher team at the left camp of the baggage army. Le Jin and I are neck-cutting brothers. Let's come to see him."
Cheng Pu naturally knew Le Jin.
Seeing that this man could name Le Jin, he believed a lot in Zheng Da's identity. He was determined to betray Le Jin, so he replied:
"Le Sima has already gone to the front line. You can find him after the war. Seeing that you and Le Sima are brothers who cut their necks, I advise you not to wander around in the army. You will lose your life, understand?"
Zheng Da nodded hurriedly and was about to take a few of them with him.
Seeing that Zheng Da took the initiative to give up, White Rabbit couldn't bear to accept it. He suddenly broke away from the two people next to him and ran to Han Dang:
"General, we have a major military intelligence report."
But what greeted him was an iron spear. The spear shaft pressed on White Rabbit's shoulder, and then directly pressed him to the ground.
At this time, Cheng Pu had no expression at all and looked down at the white rabbit indifferently:
"Those who rebel against the army will be killed!"
After saying that, Cheng Pu was about to kill the white rabbit with a spear.
But at this moment, White Rabbit shouted:
"The reinforcements of the Han army are coming."
Then the spear stopped directly next to White Rabbit's face and stabilized it steadily.
Cheng Pu looked at the white rabbit and raised his head to Zheng Dao, who was stunned with fear:
"I want to take this person away. You all stay where you are and are not allowed to move. Whoever dares to run will die."
After saying this, Cheng Pu asked his subordinates to stay and guard Zheng Da and others. Then he took the white rabbit under his arm and went to see the king.
After Cheng Pu left, Zheng Da breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the cow next to him started complaining:
"Leader of the team, didn't you say you have a high reputation? Let's not talk about meeting the king together right now, I'm afraid we won't even be able to save our lives. I'll just say that boy is a spy. Wow, oh, sorry, I have an old mother, no How can she survive without me?”
When Zheng Da saw Niu Er's courage, he was so frightened that he spoke more and more unfaithfully. He spat and said:
"That's nonsense. If you just stay still, you will not only save your life, but you may be able to marry a wife this time. But if you run away by yourself, then your mother deserves to have you idiot."
Niu'er was very aggrieved, but finally asked:
"Team leader, where is our wife?"
……
At this time, Zhang Chong was watching the battlefield attentively on the wooden platform.
So far, the war is going smoothly.
As he moved up the reserve support of the Central Army, Wei Duan was unable to bear the attack from the east and front.
The enemy's front lines are constantly shrinking.
Zhang Chong's eyes penetrated the battlefield and looked east. He felt a slight palpitation in his heart, something he hadn't felt in a long time.
The last time I felt this way was when Li Jin fought in the tent, and that time Lao Suntou died.
Why does the same feeling occur this time?
There was a hint of gloom in Zhang Chong's heart.
He turned to He Kui and asked:
"How many of the rangers dispersed from the east road."
He Kui glanced at Xun You, and then Xun You took the initiative to reply:
"Back to the king, before the war, the patrol to the east dispersed to five miles, with a total of three squads of fifteen riders. But so far, the latest round of rangers have not returned yet."
Zhang Chong thought for a while and ordered:
"Choose a group from the generals, ride three horses, and then go east to explore."
Xun You got the order and hurriedly got off the wooden platform to explain the matter.
At this moment, Cheng Pu came with the white rabbit under his arm.
After pressing the white rabbit to the ground, Cheng Pu got down on one knee and faced the king on the high platform and gave his order:
"Your Majesty, the latest military report has been sent from a nearby mountain camp, saying that reinforcements from the Han army have arrived."
There was an uproar at Cheng Pu's words, and even He Kui on the stage looked sideways.
However, suddenly there was a loud noise, which frightened everyone to stand up from their horses.
It turned out that the king actually jumped down from the wooden platform ten feet high, and he was even wearing armor.
The generals were shocked and rushed to see if the king was injured.
But Zhang Chong waved his hand to stop him.
Zhang Chong walked towards White Rabbit, lifted him up with both hands, wiped the mud from his face, and said warmly:
"Did you send this information?"
At this time, White Rabbit has forgotten his words.
He looked at the man in front of him and felt that no words could describe him. White Rabbit felt that he was as powerful as the sun, warming everyone.
White Rabbit's silence aroused dissatisfaction among the generals. Among them, Liu Hui hummed:
"The king is asking you something."
Zhang Chong laughed at Liu Hui and said:
"He is still a child, let him speak slowly."
Then Bai Tu slowly told the details with Zhang Chong's encouragement.
Some of them Zhang Chong could understand, and some Zhang Chong couldn't understand, but Zhang Chong didn't stop the child.
After White Rabbit finished speaking, he blushed and lowered his head again.
After he finished speaking, Zhen Yao, who was also from Zhongshan, relayed to Zhang Chong:
"This man said that his brother was a Taiping Taoist. After learning the news about the coming reinforcements from the Han army, he asked him to deliver it. His brother was also hit by three arrows, and his life or death was uncertain. The situation his brother discussed was that the enemy army There were roughly ten thousand people, the flags were Hejian, Bohai, and Anping, and their fighting spirit was high, and the originally arranged rangers were also strangled. "
Sure enough, what Zhang Chong was most worried about happened.
Han reinforcements have arrived, but he has not defeated the enemy yet.
He has enough confidence to continue fighting, but can the brothers who have fought fiercely for so long still be able to bear it? Will it collapse?
Zhang Chong doesn't know.
This time, I, Zhang Chong, am here to protect you.
This time, I, Zhang Chong, charge for you!
This time, I, Zhang Chong, will lead you to victory and return home!
So, Zhang Chong took out a bow, took an arrow and shot it towards the sky.
This is the cloud-piercing arrow used to recruit sudden cavalry.
……
The sharp sound of the cloud-piercing arrow was heard by Ma Wu, Xu Huang, Guo Liang, and Zhao Yun in the east; it was heard by Li Hu and Yan Gang who were repairing it on the east wall; it was heard by Li Hu and Yan Gang who were repairing there; Shen, Li Fu, and Li Bi heard it.
They all looked towards the highest place in the army, where the king was calling them.
So-called:
"An arrow that pierces the clouds, thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other; eight pairs of loyalty and courage, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire appear to lift your fate."
There are about two chapters left before this scene card ends. In the next moment, there will be a real outbreak of force against Zhang Chong, which will make the people of the world realize again what it means to not be a human being.
