Chapter 11 Rescue Allies
The magic of the Holy Envoy of Cizhou was extremely terrible. When Fu Ying woke up, the Black Eagle Army had already broken through the Lufeng Mountain Altar. There were no women in the Black Eagle Army. Hou Dayong asked the governor Zhang Xun to send two maids to the military camp to serve Fu Ying. After Fu Ying recovered slightly, he sent Fu Ying to the governor's mansion.
Fu Ying woke up with an unbearable headache, so the maid quickly sent the prepared medicine soup. Han Qi came from Shuzhong and knew very well about the type of medicine. He knew that he would feel very uncomfortable when he woke up with the medicine, so he prescribed a dose of Chinese medicine, which could slightly alleviate the condition. Fu Ying frowned and drank the bitter Chinese medicine, and her body gradually felt comfortable.
Fu Ying asked the soldiers and found out that the Holy Envoy of Cizhou was dead. The Black Eagle Army wiped out the Cizhou nest of Limijiao. Fu Ying was very grateful for the Black Eagle Army's gratitude for rescuing it. She brought the maid and accompanied by the small school to Hou Dayong's camp.
Hou Dayong was reading the military book "Taibai Yin Jing" with relish. This book was found at the Lufengshan General Hall. Hou Dayong knew about this book when he was studying in the military academy in modern society, but he never had the heart to study it. When he came back from Cizhou, Hou Dayong took a break from his busy schedule and read the "Taibai Yin Jing" that he had heard for a long time.
Modern warfare and ancient warfare are strategies that are the same, but there are great differences in the specific forms of warfare. Hou Dayong found the "Taibai Yin Jing" and carefully studied the Tang Dynasty military books.
"Taibai Camp Tu": One general and one thousand people, ten generals and ten thousand people. Thousands of people guarding the ground, 16,000 feet, and the accumulated foot is 2,666 steps, and the remaining four feet; the accumulated foot is 7 miles, and the remaining one hundred and forty-six steps are 4 feet; the accumulation of foot is 70 miles, and the remaining one hundred and forty-three steps are 5 feet, three inches and three minutes are 36 steps, and there are 18 hectares and seventy acres of land in the camp, and the remaining one hundred and forty-three steps, five feet, three inches and three minutes.
Seeing that Hou Dayong was a little confused in the main, especially the units of measurement used by the ancients were not familiar with them and had many things to understand, he took a brush and drew the array diagram based on the book. Before he finished drawing it, Fu Ying arrived.
Fu Ying wore clean clothes brought by the maid. The clothes were common short skirts, yellow narrow-sleeved short shirts on the top, green long skirts on the bottom, and red belts on the waist, making her look pretty and slender.
When Hou Dayong first came to ancient times, he thought that women in ancient times lived in the boudoir and did not contact outsiders, especially men, but now he found that the actual situation was not the case. In Cangzhou, he often saw men and women interacting normally. The Five Dynasties were a continuation of the late Tang Dynasty, with economic prosperity, active thoughts, and women liberated. The Tang people were "very Hu's spirit". Women were generous and vigorous in the "Hu people" society with weak etiquette and law, and were never like the shy, gentle and gentle in the Southern Dynasty and the gentle and elegant in the Han Dynasty.
"Thank you for saving you, General."
“No need to be polite.”
After saying the opening remarks, Hou Dayong and Fu Ying didn't know what to say next. The tent of the march was not big, and they were standing face to face, which was a little embarrassed.
Hou Dayong had nothing to say and said, "Miss Fu is so smart. If it weren't for leaving many clues, Zhang Jun would not be able to find the Cizhou General Assembly."
Fu Ying first met Hou Dayong in a small shop in Cangzhou City. At that time, Zhao Wen said that Hou Dayong was despicable and shameless. When he saw him, he actually asked the school to buy women's supplies. He thought that Hou Dayong was extremely unfair as a general, so he did not give Hou Dayong a good look. The second time was at Guo Xingjian's mansion, Hou Dayong threw Zhao Wen out of the pool; the third time he saw Hou Dayong was outside Cangzhou City, Hou Dayong led the Black Diao Army to shoot Xiao Baozhen among the ten thousand troops, and the fourth time was to go back to Daming Mansion with the Black Diao Army and burned Wanshou Temple on the road.
Hou Dayong was dressed in military uniform, tall, handsome, with thick eyebrows and eyes very vivid, but his words and deeds were polite, without the majesty of leading the army, calm and fierce, and even shy.
For some reason, Fu Ying was a little panicked and didn't dare to look at Hou Dayong, so she lowered her head.
When Hou Dayong talked about this, Fu Ying briefly talked about the situation at that time. Hou Dayong knew the general situation, but inferred some places. After listening to Fu Ying telling the story, he felt that Fu Ying was even more amazing and praised: "It's really a man who is not as good as a man."
Fu Ying's face turned slightly red and said, "General praised him, but I dare not take it." Fu Ying saw an open book on the table, with paper and pen. Most of the military generals under Fu Yanqing's tent were vulgar and unwritten. Seeing Hou Dayong actually reading a book, he couldn't help but burst out: "General is literate?" After saying that, he knew that the question was inappropriate, but he didn't know how to change his words.
Hou Dayong smiled and said, "Am I rude? I'm really like an illiterate person?"
Fu Ying was not angry when she heard Hou Dayong's tone. Thinking about the abrupt question, she felt a little embarrassed. She smiled slightly, looked up, and looked at her right eyes.
Hou Dayong first looked away, looked at the military books in front of him, and said casually: "Tibai Yin Jing found a book on Lufeng Mountain in Huying. It was written by the Tang people. I regretted that I had little time to read it. I have time to read it today, but I don't understand some places very well."
When Hou Dayong said this, he had nothing to say, but he did not expect Fu Ying to answer. But Fu Ying said, "I have read the "Taibai Yin Jing"."]] Hou Dayong wanted to say that Fu Yanqing had been fighting for more than 20 years, and it was not surprising that his daughter read the military books. He must have known this book well, so he humbly asked Fu Ying for advice.
Fu Ying did not refuse, and the two of them lost the embarrassment of their first meeting at this time. After a while of discussion, Fu Ying still drew some graphics on the paper, and Hou Dayong completely understood the unclear things. Fu Ying found that Hou Dayong was knowledgeable and secretly admired him, and thought to himself: "Hou Dayong is well-versed in military theory. No wonder the Black Eagle Army repeatedly defeated the Liao army, but the word was too bad."
"I have sent someone to report to King Wei, so that King Wei can rest assured that the Black Eagle Army is about to set off. You should go to Zhang's mansion first, and Zhang's mansion will send you back to Daming mansion."
Fu Ying thought of marrying He Song when she returned to Daming Mansion, and her heart felt sad and tears flowed out of control. Hou Dayong tried to ask for some reason. Fu Ying told him everything about He Hui, the governor of Shouzhou. Seeing Fu Ying sad, Hou Dayong sighed secretly: "A such a strange woman is going to marry a frivolous person." Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and asked, "Who is here to propose marriage?"
"He Hui, the governor of Shouzhou."
The Battle of Gaoping was the first major battle of Chai Rong's emperor and a famous battle in history. The Command Academy specially analyzed this important battle example. Hou Dayong remembered that during the Battle of Gaoping, a general named He Hui was fleeing to the thief and was killed by Chai Rong. It was probably this person. If Fu Ying married into the He family, he would encounter similarities with Queen Fu, so he said: "There will be a great battle in March, and the road is not safe. It is better to stay at Zhang Jun for a while and wait until April to return to Daming Mansion."
Fu Ying said in a muffled voice: "It's better to go back sooner or later, so it's better to go back sooner. Thank you for your kindness."
Hou Dayong knew that after three months, He Hui would be killed, and the marriage naturally changed. However, no one would believe it now. Seeing Fu Ying insisting on returning to Daming Mansion, he felt a little anxious.
After seeing Fu Ying off, Hou Dayong was a little sad: Fu Ying is really a strange woman, but unfortunately, her beauty has suffered so many hardships since ancient times.
The Black Eagle Army was about to go to Luzhou, and the Lion Camp's detective cavalry brought back the news that the Northern Han vanguard had approached Luzhou.
Seeing that the military situation was urgent, Hou Dayong went to the governor's office to tell Zhang Xun about the military situation and asked him to prepare for the battle. Finally, when the breakup, Hou Dayong had a clever idea and said, "The Northern Han soldiers are here, and thieves are rising in the territory. They are even more polite to teach the demons to make trouble. The envoy wants to defend Cizhou. It is not advisable to send Fu Ying back to Daming Mansion. It is best to wait until the battle is over before sending Fu Ying." Zhang Xun of course did not know the true meaning of Hou Dayong, and said, "Hou Lang was thoughtful and could not let Fu Ying make any mistakes again."
Hou Dayong led the Black Eagle Army to march urgently, and soon arrived in Luzhou.
After continuous and rapid march, the Black Eagle Army was very tired. Hou Dayong ordered the entire army to set up camp on the south bank of Zhuozhang River, rested for a while, waited for the Lion Camp to find out the situation and then make the next arrangement. That night, the Lion Camp's detective cavalry came back and reported that the vanguard of the Northern Han Army and the Luzhou Army had many small-scale confrontations in the northwest of Luzhou.
The weather in March was getting warmer, and the battle situation in the Great Zhou was extremely severe. Liu Chong personally led the Northern Han troops and the cavalry led by Yang Gun, the governor of Wuding of Liao, to break through to the troops of Li Yun, the governor of Zhaoyi of Later Zhou, to block it, and took advantage of the victory to advance to Luzhou (Note: 1).
After a night of rest, the Black Eagle Army set out before dawn in the morning and arrived in the northeast of Luzhou City at noon. Hou Dayong received a report from the Lion Camp that a Luzhou army was surrounded by the Northern Han army, and the Luzhou army defended on the high ground to resist.
Since the vanguard of the Northern Han Army arrived in Luzhou, the captain Zhang Chenghao was ordered to lead 500 soldiers to investigate the enemy's weaknesses and reality outside the city, and confronted the small Northern Han Army many times, with a small victory. Today, the Luzhou Army encountered the 200 Northern Han Army. After the Northern Han Army took over, they were quickly defeated. Zhang Chenghao led his army to pursue him reluctantly, but he did not want to be ambushed. One hundred cavalry chased him to the front, and most of them were lost after the raid. Only Zhang Chenghao led more than ten cavalry to survive. When the Luzhou Army infantry saw the ambush, he hurriedly surrounded him on a small hillside with shields to form a simple defensive position.
The Northern Han army charged several times and was shot back by the Luzhou army with dense bows and arrows, but the Luzhou army's arrows were exhausted, and dozens of casualties were killed and killed. The Luzhou army now had only more than 300 people to fight. Zhang Chenghao saw that the Northern Han army was in great power and knew that the situation was not good, so he was about to launch a counter-charge when the Luzhou army's arrows were used up. How many people could be highlighted?
Seeing that the Luzhou army was getting fewer bows and arrows, the Northern Han army knew that the arrows were used up and launched a general attack. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Zhang Chenghao knew that he could not escape his life. After chopping and killing a Northern Han soldier, the front leg of the war horse was cut off. Zhang Chenghao fell off the horse. The soldiers around him fought to kill Zhang Chenghao's Northern Han army and rescued Zhang Chenghao.
At the critical moment, the Northern Han army was in a commotion, and the pressure in front of Zhang Chenghao suddenly eased. Zhang Chenghao knew that the reinforcements had arrived, and he raised his sword and shouted: "The reinforcements were here." The Luzhou army was energetic and retreated the approaching Northern Han army.
Seeing that the Luzhou army was completely wiped out, a large army suddenly broke out from behind, and a black eagle was flying on the flag. The iron arrows of the Northern Han army shot down a large area of the unprepared Northern Han army. The general of the Northern Han army used part of their troops to attack the Luzhou army, and most of the troops turned to the newly arrived reinforcements. The Black Eagle Army counter-encircled the Northern Han army, and the round after round of arrow rain caused heavy losses to the Northern Han army.
The Northern Han Army had never seen such a dense rain of arrows. There were 2,000 people on the other side, but they did not get close at all. They used crossbow arrows and bows to shoot in turn. The Northern Han Army suffered three or four hundred casualties in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the Northern Han General was going to suffer a great loss when he was beaten so passively, he ordered a charge and tore a hole open to protrude to surround him.
Hou Dayong did not wait for the Northern Han army to approach, and after another round of arrow rain, the Black Eagle Army used the Tiger Camp, Leopard Camp, Jackal Camp, and Lion Camp to attack head-on, with the Bear Camp and Wolf Camp as the left and right wings, and the united soldiers as the reserve team.
The battle was cruel and short. The Northern Han Army was a mixed army of infantry and cavalry. Its mobility was not as good as the Black Diao Army. There was also the Luzhou Army. In a blink of an eye, it was divided by the Black Diao Army and destroyed one by one. The General of the Northern Han Army knew that the situation was hopeless, so he drew his sword to commit suicide. Three hundred Northern Han Army surrendered.
Zhang Chenghao, covered in blood, was taken to Hou Dayong, saluted and said, "I am Zhang Chenghao, the captain of the Luzhou Army. The general is in time. When the Luzhou Army comes in a while, the Luzhou Army will be wiped out." Seeing that the Luzhou Army was very brave, Hou Dayong was respectful, and replied, "I am Hou Dayong, the commander-in-chief of the Heiyu Army under the command of the Jiedushi Tianxiong Army."
