Chapter Thirteen Strong Counterattack

The Wulian Han army's counterattack was extremely fast. It was a surprise attack on the night of the 25th. After completing the inclusion of prisoners on the 26th, it was just the morning of the 27th. Before the old and weak prisoners even delivered the letter to Mo Zhu and others, Zhang Zhi had already summoned the main civil and military officials in Wulian County Temple to discuss the tactical plan of sending troops to counterattack the Wulian rebels.

"Dear colleagues, I won't say much nonsense." Zhang Zhi's opening remark was very direct, saying: "Call you here to discuss with you how to send troops to fight back and completely eliminate the rebellious three surnames Wu Lian. I have decided that we will dispatch eight villages of troops to fight south tomorrow morning to bring the three rebels, Mo Zhu, Lu Ji and He Zhong to justice!"

"I'll send troops tomorrow morning?"

Wu Lian was in an uproar, and then Zhang Ju, who was in charge of logistics, quickly said: "Ming Court, are you too anxious? We just took the prisoners yesterday and didn't have time to train them into an army. We couldn't guarantee whether these prisoners would really serve us. How could we take them to fight against the rebel tomorrow?"

Wu Lian and Cao agreed, all of them felt that Zhang Zhi's decision was too fussy. Zhang Zhize said with a serious expression: "I know it's too urgent, but there is no way. We have too little time. If nothing unexpected happens, the county will definitely be preparing to send troops south to attack us, and it may even have dispatched troops. So if we can't act quickly, when the county's army arrives, the three major surnames of Wu Lian will not only make a comeback immediately, but will also provide food support to the county's army. At that time, it will definitely be even more difficult for us to kill the county soldiers."

"The Ming court has a high opinion." The military general Zhao Quan agreed: "Wu Lian has a lot of food in the three major villages. If we cannot kill them first, confiscate their food. When the county's army arrives, the food will definitely become the food for the traitors of the Han traitors in the county, which is very unfavorable for us to defend the city and fight the enemy."

"We can marching and training at the same time," Zhu Xiang also said: "Anyway, the traitors are all a group of mobs, and they have been killed by us and have been severely injured. Even if we use the new recruits who have been formed in a hurry to join the battle, we will still have a steady chance of winning."

"For the sake of the future, I also support sending troops tomorrow." Fu Gong said: "Ming Court, the last general will ask for an order to serve as the pioneer of the road."

"General Fu, stay."

Of course, Zhang Zhi would not be so stupid that he would not keep a reliable person to guard the house. He said, "It's not that I can't trust you, but in terms of military affairs, Zhao Quan and Zhu Xiang are both more experienced than you. We must also fight quickly in this battle, so I can only give priority to the more experienced Zhao Quan and Zhu Xiang. If you take two garrisons to guard the city, send more people to monitor the movements of the roads in the north. Once you find that the rebels in the county send troops, you must send someone to contact me immediately."

After saying that, Zhang Zhi pointed at Hu Cao Ma Feng and said, "Ma Hu Cao, you should also bring a few good-looking staff to go to war with me. At that time, I will have very important responsibilities to you."

As a civil servant, Ma Feng agreed inexplicably, not understanding why Zhang Zhi wanted to name the name and let him go to the war with him? Fu Gong, who volunteered, had no choice but to bow his hands and sang the promise. Zhang Ju no longer objected, but just asked, "Ming Court, how do you plan to advance to fight against the enemy?"

"First, today we will start to build dry food and load the necessary military supplies into the truck." Zhang Zhi replied: "For our soldiers, each of us prepares five rice balls to carry with us to prevent it. If the remaining insufficient food is all based on instant noodles, we can eat lightly, and run at full speed."

"Second, today I will send someone to contact Xiasi Yang and exchange it with thirty packs of instant noodles and one flight ladder. Xiasi Yang asked Xiasi Yang to build for us for forty bamboo flight ladders, so that when we arrive at Xiasi, we can immediately take the ladder to attack the village, saving our preparation time."

"Third, act according to the opportunity." Zhang Zhi said again: "If the three surnames of Wu Lian concentrate the army in Mojia Village, then we will bypass the Mojia Village and first attack the He family and Lu family villages. If the three surnames of Wu Lian have divided their troops to defend the villages, we will firmly take down the Mojia Village directly! Then we will deal with the Lu family and He family!"

Everyone nodded, and then Zhao Quan asked curiously: "Ming Court, let each of our soldiers bring only five rice balls to the battle. If we cannot take down the thief's village as soon as possible to replenish the food and grass, is your instant noodles enough for so many of us to eat?"

"Don't worry, if you get hungry, you can immediately cut off the official!" Zhang Zhi replied incredibly directly, and said, "Also, during the war, each stroke will give two packs of instant noodles at noon."

"Then there is no problem." Zhao Quan said directly: "Just let us eat two more packs of instant noodles at noon, we will arrive at Mojia Village in Mawei tomorrow evening, and we can attack the village tomorrow night."

"That's it." Zhang Zhi made the decision and asked Mo Sheng again: "Mo Ji Cao, who is the most prestigious in the Mo family except Mo Zhu?"

"Mo Zhu's cousin Mo Yan." Mo Sheng replied immediately: "Mo Yang's father was Mo Zhu's half-brother, but he was a concubine. Therefore, when Mo Zhu's grandfather passed the throne, he made Mo Zhu's father the patriarch and then passed it to Mo Zhu, who was older than Mo Yan. However, Mo Yang was generous and fair in his work. Even if he was not the patriarch, he had great prestige in the Mo family."

"Very good." Zhang Zhi nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Who should do it? Quickly write a letter to Mo Yan for me, advising Mo Yan to lead the Mo family members to open a village to surrender. After the matter is completed, I support him as the head of the Mo family and give him rewards."

Hearing this, Wu Lian and the civil servants were of course rushing to write a letter for Zhang Zhi. Then when everyone asked how to deliver the letter to Mo Yan, Zhang Zhi answered very directly and said, "When you arrive at Mojia Village, you will shoot it directly with an arrow immediately. Don't be afraid that Mo Zhu will see it. It may be better if he sees it! Well, everyone hurry up and prepare for the battle. Time is precious, the sooner you are ready, the better."

After a lot of hurry preparations, on the morning of May 28, Zhang Zhi, who had just arrived in this era for ten days, left Wulian County with 800 Han soldiers, held high the Han flag and set out south, and rushed towards the Mawei Mojia Village, which had just gathered to launch a rebellion a few days ago.

While going to the war, Zhang Zhi not only reminded Fu Gong and Zhang Ju, who were left behind in the county, to take advantage of their family, but also asked them to hurry up and organize a large amount of people to cut down timber and transport them back to the city to hoard them in order to welcome the upcoming conquest of the soldiers of the Kōke County to soak instant noodles, and they cannot boil water without fuel.

Before midnight, the Han army, who had lightly launched an expedition, arrived at Xiasi successfully. Not only did they immediately receive the forty bamboo flights prepared by the Yang family of Xiasi for the Han army soldiers, but they also confirmed that the three surnames of Wu Lian had divided their troops to guard the village. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen was overjoyed and quickly took out instant noodles to reward Xiasi for the Yang family of Xiasi, and then led the army to the gate of Mojiazhai after Shen Shi that day.

At this time, the huge area of ​​Mojia Village was of course already in a panic. Children less than four feet tall were forced to go into battle with wooden sticks and guard the key points of the Zhumu Village wall. The area of ​​the village gate was even stored by Mo Zhu, and the slogans to defend the village resounded throughout the sky.

After a rough observation of the terrain and the situation of the enemy camp, Zhao Quan and Zhu Xiang both had confidence on their faces and said to Zhang Zhi: "Ming Court, don't worry, this village just looks big, but in fact it is vulnerable. One hour, at most one hour, we are absolutely sure to kill into the village."

"Don't be careless. You can despise the enemy strategically, and you must pay attention to the enemy tactical attention." Zhang Zhi replied to a famous saying of a great man, and then said: "Let our soldiers rest on the spot, boil water and cook noodles directly, let our soldiers eat their fill first, and then launch an attack. Also, arrange a strong archer to go over and use a strong bow to shoot the letter we prepared yesterday into the village."

Zhang Zhi's wishful thinking failed this time. After the letter was shot into the village by Han soldiers with arrows, although Mo Yan, who was second only to Mo Zhu in his clan, was right next to him, but Mo Zhu had just finished reading the letter alone and immediately understood Zhang Zhi's vicious intention. He quickly tore the letter apart and roared: "All nonsense! I want us to open a village and surrender, dream! I will continue to defend the village and never let the official army rush in!"

At this time, with the blessing of the Liehuo Bowing Soup, the rich fragrance of instant noodles had already floated into the village. When smelling this tempting and strong fragrance, the extremely nervous Mo clans were of course drooling, and they were also talking about it, and they were all curious about what was so fragrant and attractive? Then, it was natural that although Mo Zhu and other Mo clans repeatedly banned the delicious rumor of the Han army's instant noodles, it was inevitable that many Mo clans and Mo family Tiannu knew that as long as they surrendered to the Han army, they could get instant noodles that were so delicious that it was hard to believe.

Not only that, Zhang Zhi, who had been exploring the tactics of attacking the mind, deliberately arranged for the Han army soldiers to eat noodles in public in front of the formation, and asked the Han army soldiers to eat noodles in front of the Mojiazhai defenders while shouting loudly, "The people of Mojiazhai, surrender, and surrender, there is noodles to eat! Come out and eat noodles, delicious instant noodles!"

Because Mo Zhu's confidants kept the gate of the village, the Han army's surrender tactics did not work immediately. None of the people in Mojia Village dared to risk their surrender. However, many people in Mojia Village also made up their minds quietly, "As long as the official army enters the village, I will surrender immediately. Mo Zhu is causing trouble. Why should we work hard for him?"

Before this was over, Zhang Zhi also arranged for many Mo family members and Mo family Tiannu who had surrendered to the Han army the day before yesterday to come forward, and took instant noodles to the gate of Mojia Village to shout surrender. He called their relatives and companions to come out to surrender and eat noodles, and shouted such a slogan, "This time the official only killed Mo Zhu, surrendered to eat noodles! Kill Mo Zhu and let Mo Yan be the leader of the clan!"

"Kill Mo Zhu and let Mo Yan be the leader of the clan!"

After such shouts were clearly transmitted to the Mojiazhai defenders, they quickly caused a chain reaction. I don’t know how many Mo clans secretly went to see Mo Yan, who was far more fair in his work. Mo Yan, who was innocently caught in the gun, looked pale and had to take the initiative to show his loyalty in front of Mo Zhu. Mo Zhu's face turned pale, but Mo Zhu's face turned pale, and after a while, he shouted against his will: "Don't worry, I can trust you!"

The rich fragrance of instant noodles covered Mojia Village for nearly an hour. It was still when it was dark and the saliva of the Mo clans was about to flow out, and the fragrance gradually became blown away by the night wind. At the same time, the Han soldiers who had eaten and drunk enough were ready to make the final preparations for forcing the tough attack. They could launch an offensive charge just by waiting for Zhang Zhi's order.

Zhang Zhi also gave Mo Zhu the last chance and arranged a Han army soldier to come forward with a white flag and a shield, and shouted loudly in front of the Mojia Village, asking Mo Zhu to open the village to surrender immediately in exchange for Zhang Zhi to spare him. Mo Zhu gave up this opportunity with a dark face and ordered his confidant to shoot arrows and shoot at the village gate and shouted to summon the Han army envoys.

After the Han army envoy fled back to the flag formation in a panic, Zhang Zhi was completely unable to bear it and roared: "Give me shamelessness! Beat the drum, charge! Let me kill you directly in!"

As the war drums sounded, the first battle led by Zhang Zhi himself began. As a result, Zhang Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The hasty-formed Wulian Han army not only did not have any fear and retreat when charging and attacking, but also showed a very brave appearance. No matter how desperately the Mo clan members fired arrows to stop them, they could not stop the charge of the Han army soldiers. The tide of Han army soldiers composed of people also directly hit the thin gate of Mojiazhai.

The first thing that hit the village gate was of course the rapier carried by the Han army soldiers. During the rapiers, ladders built by the people of the lower sect also built on the village wall made of bamboo, wood, earth and stone. The Han army soldiers shouted and stepped on the ladder and started a life-long battle with the defenders on the village wall.

The battle still has no suspense. The rebels were originally a group of mobs, and their morale had been almost zero by the Han army. They were still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. They had to force the elderly and children to fight to gain courage. Naturally, they could not stop the tide of the Han army soldiers. Just over ten minutes after the fierce battle, many Han army soldiers had already climbed the ladders and rushed up the village wall, killing the rebel soldiers guarding the wall so that they kept jumping over the wall and fleeing. They seized a large area of ​​the village wall positions, and then divided their forces to attack the backbone of the defenders who were guarding the village gate.

With the cooperation of the Ant Attached Comrades, the camp gate quickly made a breakthrough. More than a dozen Han soldiers carried the pounding wood and kept hitting. The thin village gate gradually deformed, then gradually became fragmented, and then suddenly made a loud noise, which opened directly inward. Countless Han soldiers cheered and rushed into the Mojia Village.

The rebel army also quickly collapsed. First, the old man and child who were forced by Mo Zhu and others to help were rushed around and shouted, directly hitting the morale of the rebels. Then, the rebel prisoners who were released by the Han army the day before yesterday and left, and even ran and shouted, "The government army has already rushed in, run away! Run away! The village is broken, broken!"

Influenced by such shouting, the Mo family Tiannu, who was attached to the Mo family land, quickly fell into panic. He turned around and ran back to his residence to wait for the Han army to surrender. He ran around in a clever way, disrupting the formation and shaking people's hearts. Many people shouted slogans of willingness to surrender early.

Unable to withstand the tide of the Han soldiers' attacks, and seeing that the situation was too far, Mo Zhu had to give up his dying struggle and quickly fled with some Mo clans who were still under his command. He escaped from other village gates that had not been attacked by the Han army. After Mo Zhu himself escaped, the Mo clans who had no backbone scattered, either went home to escape or directly put down their weapons to surrender. Mo Yan, the cousin of Mo Zhu who was named by the Han army, led many of his clans to kneel on the open space in the village and cried loudly: "Mr. Jun, we surrender! We surrender! Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. These things are all done by Mo Zhu!"

There is no need to send people to the village to check the situation. Just seeing the Han soldiers rushing torches into the village, Zhang Zhi knew that Mojia Village had been successfully taken down. Then, while nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Zhi suddenly noticed a special situation - the Mojia Village in front of him not only covers a large area, but also has many bamboo buildings in the village, and there are also several ancient buildings with many history at a glance.

"This is an old village." Zhang Zhi thought to himself and said to himself: "Since it is an old village, there must be many ancient cultural relics in it that have been in the past. The Mo family is Wulianshouba. After so many years of accumulation, they must have accumulated a lot of good things."

"Well, after dawn tomorrow, I must plunder the village and try to find as many valuable cultural relics as possible to sell them to the cheating system. In this way, after the thirty-nine-day free aid period expires, I can have the money to buy instant noodles to support the army and develop the army."
