Chapter 129 Defeat the Army
Gao Fangping first put on his official uniform and walked into the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion.
Even though it was late at night, he had already been promoted to the hall, and dozens of police officers stood on both sides. They were hitting the ground with a powerful sword, even though Gao Fangping was brave, he was frightened.
"Secretary Gao Fangping, please see the servant of the mansion." Gao Fangping clasped his fists and said.
Uncle Zhang had a blue face and said nothing nonsense, "What the hell are you and Cai Jing doing? I don't want to ask about it. But now Chenliu County is in an emergency under Kaifeng rule. I'll ask you, do you dare to go out?"
Gao Fangping clasped his fists and said, "As long as the official dares to issue a letter of appointment, he is not afraid of Zhang Shumi's criticism, the subordinates dare to come out."
Zhang Shuye angrily scolded: "What is that coward in Zhang Kangguo? He dares to blame me. Under Kaifeng's rule, the thieves were crazy besieged by the emperor. The soldiers were quick and quick. After the bureaucrats shirking responsibility and discussing each other, the thieves had killed all the people of Chenliu County and disbanded. I was the one who was in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture on behalf of Tianquan and stayed in Tokyo. Who dared to snatch the anger under the rule?"
"The emperor of the palace is wise, please give an order." Gao Fangping laughed.
Uncle Zhang is bold and responsible, and it is indeed not a big deal. If he changes someone, he will wait to beat the ball. Even if he has the right to send troops, he will not give orders. He will wait for dawn and hand the ball over to the minister of the Privy Council. In the end, the Privy Council will shirk responsibility to the official. No matter how he does it, success or failure, it will be commanded by the official family, and it will be the official family. So even if the people die, it will be a good ending for you and I, everyone. The only bad ones are the ordinary people and the official family.
If Zhang Shuye had no right to mobilize the Fourth Army in normal times, but because of the recent high pressure on public security, the envoys of the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms were in Tokyo, Zhang Shuye had already obtained the command of the Eighth Formation of the Japanese Army and participated in maintaining order in Kaifeng Prefecture. So as long as Zhang Shuye dared to act, he would really not have to dump anyone, and he could send Xu Ning's troops to operate on Jingji Road.
Of course, Zhang Shuye was not confused. If he directly sent Xu Ning, he would not work hard. It was another process of shirking responsibility for each other and practicing Tai Chi, so he had to summon pork flat.
After watching Zhang Shuye write down the letter of appointment and sign the seal of Kaifeng Mansion, he took it and confirmed it and put it in his arms.
"The army of Xu Ning, the eighth formation of the Japanese army, was dispatched by our backs to Chenliu to quell the rebellion. Because the military was urgent, no one was used late at night. He temporarily appointed Xuanfenglang Gao Fangping and Yunqiwei Liang Hongyu as the army supervisor to quell the rebellion. Go." Zhang Shuye was quite kind and gave Gao Fangping a reason to accompany him.
Gao Fangping can go without a reason, but if he wins, Gao Fangping will not be able to get the merits. If he loses, Gao Fangping will easily take the blame. Because Gao Fangping is a civil servant, at least he will not be captured and slaughtered. But if there is no civil servant and military officer, if something happens again, Xu Ning will be done. Lao Zhang is leaving some useful talents for the imperial guards, and he doesn't want something happening to Xu Ning.
"The Lord of the House is waiting for the good news from the emperor!"
Gao Fangping bowed and hurriedly left Kaifeng Prefecture.
When we went to the garrison, the well-trained Japanese army's eighth formation had already been ready to go, and the entire school ground was clear and torches were clear. There were 2,500 people and 4,000 war horses waiting to rely on them.
Xu Ning, Shi Wengong, Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng and other generals dismounted and knelt on one leg to meet the military supervisor Gao Fangping and Liang Hongyu.
The little loli is the Yunqiwei, a Qin-private of the great official family. Now he is appointed as the governor by Zhang Shuye to participate in the blame. Liang Hongying is now holding her and riding a horse.
After putting on armor and getting on the horse under the entourage, Gao Fangping said, "Xiaoyu comes to my arms, don't affect your sister. She is not a nanny but a bodyguard, and your dad is me."
Next, Gao Fangping held the little loli in his arms, started the inspection, and selected the army to form.
If you cannot take them all out, in this case, the fewer troops you dispatch to suppress bandits, the less pressure Gao Fangping and Zhang Shuye will be. Yes, even if Zhang Shuye has this right, if you use too many troops at the feet of the emperor without approval, it is a merit and a negligence. Military and people's livelihood is a merit. But politically, it is a negligence.
Secondly, if Gao Fangping wanted to teach these thieves to be a thief, he had to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. If there were many people and powerful people, they ran away before they even started fighting. There was no military merit. Damn the calculation of the merits of the Song Dynasty was very scientific and were calculated based on the heads. Therefore, we must be low-key, and to make the arrogant thieves have the intention to fight to the death, and the number of people who came out of the battle must be mastered at a balance point.
This is the wisdom of the battlefield. Fighting requires brains. Otherwise, when the dawn is dawn, the bureaucrats will discuss it in the court. To support the Japanese Tianwu Army, the Divine Guards, the Dragon Guards, and the 300,000 troops will certainly win, but it is not to suppress the thieves, but to scare away the thieves and harm them again. By the way, the army will rob the people like locusts, and the blame will be borne by the government.
Finally, Yang Zhi's Knight Camp and Liang Hongyu's Tiger Head Camp were selected.
"Get out!"
Gao Fangping waved his hand, and one thousand men and two thousand war horses drove towards the city gate under the night.
Yang Zhi was the leader of the general, and his cavalry camp had the strongest skills in controlling war horses. As for Liang Hongyu's Hutou Camp, the team skeleton was the strong soldier who followed Gao Fangping to quell the rebellion in the Mengzhou Prison Camp. His quality was not as good as others, but his bravery was the only team in this army that had participated in bloody battles and had gnawed the hard bones.
So if you want to fight a tough battle, you must have a powerful soldier like Hutou Camp, which can stimulate all morale when fighting the first formation...
One man and two riders were lightly equipped. In addition to weapons and weapons, he only brought half a pause in food, and marched towards Chenliu without stopping.
Chenliu is not far from Tokyo, less than two hundred miles away. With a light lineup of one person and two riders, he has arrived at an area less than twenty miles outside Chenliu County in less than afternoon.
At this point, Gao Fangping stopped the horse and said, "Eat dry food, drink water, feed the horse, rest for a quarter of an hour, and then follow the official to kill the thief."
When I ran here without food, I was hungry for a long time. Unfortunately, according to the rules of the Eighth Army, whether before training or before the battle, horses could eat one-third of the fullness. Because people and animals are the same, they will be weak when they are full, and once they are hungry, they will be fierce. When people are hungry, they will rebel when they are hungry. This is because of the fierceness.
So, including the horses, all the guys ate only one-third of the food rations, and then breathed in fresh air to relax.
"Array!"
When Xu Ning found something was ahead, he issued a warning order.
Following the look, I saw a team of scattered people coming from afar. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were throwing their armor and abandoning their armor, but they were actually wearing Song Jun's clothes.
"Intercept! Anyone who dares to rush to the formation will kill!"
Gao Fangping didn't know what was going on, so he issued a very despicable order. Otherwise, if there were thieves mixed in it, wouldn't it be a disaster to come to the troubled waters?
"Raising the military flag."
Xu Ning issued an order, so his troops launched a geese-shaped formation intercepting and raised the flag of "The Eighth General of the Imperial Guard to Protect the Japanese Eighth General Xu".
The scattered army fleeing ahead saw the imperial guards coming to rescue him. Although he was still running for life, he cheered, crying and laughing, as if a child who had been beaten and cried ran away harder when he saw his father, as if he was about to fall into the arms of the elders and be comforted.
Xu Ning waved his hand, and three horses in the military formation rushed out and shouted: "The people and horses ahead will stop fifty steps, and the commander will report the number and accept the review by the military chief Gao Da. Those who violate the order will be killed!"
However, there were no military rules in the concepts of the wing army, and they were scared to death. Regardless of the orders, more than a thousand people continued to run in disarray.
In this way, the soldiers who were sent the order were so scared that they stopped their horses and ran back.
Xu Ning also felt dizzy and felt that something was going to happen. I don’t know who the fool was under these damn guys?
Seeing that they had passed fifty steps without obeying the order, Gao Fangping waved his hand and said, "Kill!"
Whoosh swish swish swish-
Suddenly, the crossbow arrow shot out like rain.
A wave of flow.
First of all, the more than 20 Song soldiers who broke through fifty steps were shot and fell down like hedgehogs.
The other Song soldiers were frightened and dared not rush again, so they retreated. They really didn't expect that their mother's brothers were even more cruel than bandits. What's the matter?
Seeing that the tiger stopped them, Gao Fangping ordered again: "Fence up."
So the military formation changed into a circular formation, surrounded it, and slowly contracted, and finally surrounded the scattered wing troops in the middle.
"Put down your weapons and sit on the ground. Without the approval of this official, those who dare to stand up privately are listed as rebels and rectify the Dharma on the spot!" Gao Fangping shouted again.
Then the guys did not dare to hesitate, and quickly put down their weapons, sat all over the ground like a prisoner, and began to beg for mercy, just like Gao Fangping was a bandit.
"Where is the commander? Come forward and report the military call to explain the situation." Gao Fangping said again.
Afterwards, a young man with a timid affair appeared in the crowd. He was wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes. When he reached twenty steps, he stopped and knelt down and said, "I will be the only one who is in charge of Huangshi Port, and see Gao, the military supervisor."
"I will give you ten breaths and briefly explain the situation in Chenliu County." Gao Fangping said.
Huangshi Port knelt on the ground like a thin ice, saying, "Sir, the thieves are fierce and powerful. When the Mo General arrived, Chenliu County... had fallen. With a strong county town, there were thousands of thieves, for the safety of the people and the military, the Mo General's siege equipment was insufficient, so he did not dare to act rashly and retreated and waited for the reinforcements..."
At this point, Gao Fangping whipped him with a whip and shouted: "You are the reinforcements! You still count on the reinforcements! There are only a few hundred thieves, how come there are thousands? Damn, do you fool me as a fool?"
At this time, among the deserters, an old man in civilian uniform burst into tears and shouted: "Sir, the little old man has something to say..."
