Chapter 23 Lighting the Flag (Repaying Debt)(2/3)

………………

Along the way, everyone felt a little frustrated, but they were busy on their way and didn't say much. Moreover, the archers of the Han army who were accompanying them were always very excited, and they didn't want to say anything to avoid disturbing the morale of the army...

After all, from the perspective of these low-level soldiers, it is indeed exciting. A hundred people burned down half of the camp. Then wouldn't it be easy for tens of thousands of people to swarm up and capture a mere seat?

However, after returning to the camp and watching the soldiers of the camp being taken by Han Dang to Wang Xiuchu of the back camp to record their merits, Taodun, who was the leader of Hu Qizhong, was also the strongest and had the highest status, couldn't bear it.

He lived in front of the Chinese army's tent and opened his mouth.

"Gongsun Lingjun." Tadun raised his hands and said seriously. "I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Say." Gongsun Xun didn't care at all.

"Your Majesty," Taton said through gritted teeth. "Tonight, I am afraid that the Goguryeo people have already gone to look for reinforcements overnight. If your Majesty is determined, please send troops immediately without further delay."

Gongsun Xun laughed for a moment: "I thought that when the leader of Taodun saw that the enemy's camp was strong and his orders were clear, he wanted to retreat. Is he actually asking for a fight?"

I am leading more than a thousand people in your 10,000-man army. I would be crazy to have any intention of retreating, and even if I did, I would not dare to say it. Tadun felt helpless and could only force himself to say generously:

"What did your Majesty say? We Wuhuan people have lived in western Liaoning for generations. We have always been on good terms with the Gongsun family. We also attach equal importance to the benevolence and power of the Zhao Prefect, and everyone obeys us... This time we have been recruited by your Majesty, and we should serve our lives to the death."

Yes! So what if the camp is strong? If Lingjun has his life, we Wuhuan people will sacrifice our lives in a hand-to-hand fight for Lingjun even if we give up the advantage of sudden cavalry!"

"What did Mo Hutou say?" Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around and asked Mo Hutou.

"What did you say, sir?!" Mohu Zang immediately raised his chest. "I, Mohu Zang, regard you and Amway as my reborn parents. If you give orders, I, Mohu, will fight to the death with all my strength!"

"Where is Duan Bu?" Gongsun Xun nodded with satisfaction and looked at Duan Ri Yuming again.

"Duan Bu has received great favor from Prefect Zhao, and it is all at your command." Duan Riyuming quickly agreed.

"So what does Fuyu Jian want to do when he is in Zhujia?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask... Zhujia is one of the four official positions in Fuyu. The other three are Niujia, Majia and Goujia.

It’s also interesting!

"What did the general say?" Jian Zhi, who quickly bowed his head, also spoke good Chinese. In other words, people of all ethnic groups can only communicate with each other in Chinese these days. "We Fuyu people have been oppressed by the Goguryeo people many times, and we have also been oppressed many times.

With the help of the big man...if you follow the big man to fight the Goguryeo people and don't use all your strength, then what's the use of your life?"

This is quite reasonable. Xu Rong on the side thought to himself. Putting aside the Fuyu people who had a direct interest in Goguryeo, when they encountered a setback, a group of savages from western Liaoning actually did not cheat and cheat, but only wanted to be caught.

Trying to fight on the last frontline fighter plane... Although it feels a bit like a last resort, this young Lingjun who was born in the Gongsun family probably does have an extraordinary status in the hearts of these people!

"That's good!" After asking several foreign leaders, Gongsun Xun stopped asking questions and gave the order boldly in front of the Chinese army's tent. "Since all the gentlemen are willing to fight, let's have a good rest tonight, and we will go tomorrow."

The soldiers are sitting in the original position!"

As soon as these words came out, no matter how complicated their thoughts were, all the generals in front of them had no more words to say, they just shouted loudly!

All the generals retreated to the camp one after another, and Gongsun Xun naturally opened the tent of the Chinese army and entered. However, Lou Zibo still followed in... and everyone did not take it seriously.

"Everyone said it nicely, but behind the scenes they probably had bad intentions." Lou Gui couldn't help but sarcastically mocked him as soon as he entered the tent. "He clearly saw that the enemy camp was strong and well-organized, and then he was stingy with everyone.

My own tribe, so I just want to fight hard before the reinforcements from Goguryeo arrive, so that I can give an explanation to you and Governor Zhao, Shaojun, so that after the stalemate, I can shamelessly ask for the withdrawal of the troops."

"What do you care about this?" Gongsun Xun, who returned to the top position, took off his broken sword and held it in his hand and said nonchalantly. "They are mercenaries, and they only want to fight... Besides,

If we can win a big victory, they will naturally continue to follow us. If we don't win, will we insist on staying here?"

Lou Gui was silent for a moment, but then suddenly asked: "Did Young Master see the signal clearly just now?"

"I see clearly." Gongsun Xun nodded in reply.

"I thought I was being blinded," Lou Gui said with a hint of suspicion. "It's actually the camp in the middle... Could it be that the person who arranged the arrangements for Yayu Kexi was the original commander? If so, wouldn't it be too much?

easily?!"

"The devil knows." Gongsun Xun finally became serious. "But no matter what, we will see the result tomorrow!"

Lou Zibo nodded slightly and said nothing.

………………

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the sky is still dark, you can see a stream of white gas wafting out from the entire Han army camp. This is the army cooking pots for their morning meal and accompanying dry food.

But by the time after breakfast, everything from war horses to dry food and water, from equipment to moving the camp had been completed... Lu Fan took charge of the general affairs of the military camp in Yanmen, and was well trained. Coupled with a serious and responsible Wang Xiu, the two of them

Leading a group of military officers, it can be said that they are well organized.

The soldiers began to line up and leave the camp, and Gongsun Xun also began to work hard to assign them early in the morning... You must know that with tens of thousands of troops, Hu and Han are all mixed up, and the fighting strength is different. It is not that simple to move forward twenty miles and fight again!

First of all, the camp here cannot be abandoned as the basis for the advance, so Lu Fan has to take two thousand people, including one thousand miscellaneous and one thousand Han troops, who are the weakest people at the time, to stay here and serve as

Logistics; then Wang Xiu will lead the army with 500 people to advance, preparing to set up supply points along the way, and set up a small camp at the entrance of the original valley in case of unexpected events!

The soldiers also had to be divided into categories. The first ones to set off were Han Dang and Mohu Zheng. They led a thousand Han troops and a thousand Hu cavalry. As vanguards, they first went to sit at the mouth of the original valley to stabilize the position; then they

It was Gongsun Fan who supervised some miscellaneous troops who could not go to the stage, about five or six hundred people, who cleared the roads along the way and served as the second formation; followed by Taodun, Duan Riyuming, Xu Rong and others each held their own troops.

, guarding Gongsun Xun in front and back, about 4,000 people followed as the main fourth formation, while Gongsun Yue and Fuyu Zhujiajian took the lead and led the 1,000 Fuyu people as the rearguard.

The army exceeds ten thousand and is boundless. The flags of Han Dang and Mohu Zang in front have disappeared. Gongsun Fan has also set off in full force. Gongsun Xun's main force here has just come out of camp and formed an array, and sat down in front.

Set off!

"My lord, wait a moment!" Gongsun Xun had just set off when Lu Fan's shout suddenly came from behind him, as if the latter was suddenly chasing him out of the camp.

The soldiers who had just started but stopped talking were talking endlessly. Everyone frowned and said nothing when they saw this. Even Gongsun Xun was secretly frightened... Lu Fan was not an ignorant person, and he had to march for this.

Only then did he suddenly chase him out, fearing that he might really run into some trouble.

"My lord!" Lu Fan hurried out of the camp gate with something on his back, and then hurriedly gave the thing to his lord. "Madam just asked someone to send something from Xiangping, I dare not keep it.

!”

After receiving this thing, Gongsun Xun was shocked at first, thinking that it was his mother who was asking for it, but he immediately realized that the 'Madam' in Lu Fan's mouth should be Zhao Yun, not his mother... But, Ah

Why is that girl Yun causing trouble now? What trouble are you, Lu Ziheng, making with you?

However, after forcing himself to calm down and lowering his head to look at the object, he sighed again: "Madam's kindness is something that a husband cannot ignore. Hang up with me immediately!"

It turns out that this is an exquisite embroidered brocade hanging flag with a red background and a white horse. It is very majestic. It can be regarded as a treasure at this time... And this thing was definitely not completed in a hurry. So in the past two months,

Knowing that she was about to go on an expedition, one can imagine how much thought Zhao Yun secretly put into it.

As for the big flag that Gongsun Xun had hung before, it was just a hastily woven Gongsun banner during military training in Xiangping.

"Lord!"

Seeing the new flag hoisted and the flag depicting the word "Gongsun" spread out behind Gongsun Xun, Lou Gui also temporarily changed his name when he saw this, dismounted directly, and bowed down together with Lu Fan, speaking loudly in front of everyone.

road:

"It is a good sign to get the flag before the battle. This battle will be won with the flag!"

When the other generals saw this, they also woke up one after another. They all dismounted and bowed, while the soldiers talked about it and marveled.

Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the horse, glanced at his two confidants, but he proudly held the broken knife on his waist and laughed: "In that case, the whole army will follow me and sit down. The decisive victory is today!"

………………

At noon, Gongsun Xun led the main army to Zuoyuan. Before entering the valley entrance, Han Dang, Mohu Zhe and Gongsun Fan came to report.

"How?" Gongsun Xun asked directly without getting off his horse.

"I need your protection, sir!" Mohu Zang replied in a daze. "The two future camps have been captured by our army!"

"So fast?!" The officers who had been here last night were also surprised, and Xu Rong even asked directly.

"That's true." Gongsun Fan looked happy. "Brother, I don't know that when I arrived, Brother Yi Gong and the Mo Hutou people were attacking the two front tug-out camps at the mouth of the valley. Brother Yi Gong attacked the one that was on fire yesterday.

Well, the Mohu people were fighting another one... Who would have thought, last night they didn't send any reinforcements because the military situation was unclear. Today, the sky was clear and the military situation was clear. The camp at the rear of Goguryeo actually didn't send any reinforcements either, leaving Brother Yi Gong alone.

Lead the troops to attack the camp that was on fire last night, and then turn to attack the other camp with the Mohutou people!"

The generals were still a little surprised, but when Gongsun Xun saw Han Yigong wink at him, he knew that an insider must have played a role in this!

"Move forward quickly, use the second battalion as the main formation, and deploy troops!" With this thought, Gongsun Xun did not hesitate anymore and directly urged the formation to send troops.

"Young Master, I'm afraid that person is not the general, but the person in charge!" A quarter of an hour later, in the abandoned military camp of the Goguryeo people, Han Dang had the opportunity to report in a low voice. "After I led my troops here, the other party actually took the initiative.

After leaving the camp to meet the enemy, they fought head-on and pursued the enemy camp. After only a moment of fierce fighting, the camp at the rear of Goguryeo actually came again and ordered the people in this camp to evacuate... The soldiers who understood the Goguryeo dialect said that they called this camp

If it is burned, there is no need to defend it! As for the other forward camp, there are no reinforcements in the rear, and the side camp has been captured, so it is natural to go all out."

Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui looked at each other and were about to speak when they saw that all the troops had already occupied the camp and lined up. Xu Rong, Taodun, Duan Riyuming and others also arrived one after another, so they immediately fell silent and turned around.

But he sat still and asked people to quickly light up his white horse military flag, facing the Gongsun flag, far away from the Goguryeo camp on the opposite side!

And leaning a little, just when Gongsun Xun was sitting with his fingers, assigning attack tasks to various troops, he suddenly raised his head, and was stunned on the spot... It turned out that he might have seen the flag raised here, and the high platform in the middle of the Goguryeo camp opposite

On the watchtower, a strange-shaped flag was hoisted, and the cheers of Goguryeo soldiers could be heard immediately.

"Xu Sima," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but frown and asked, "What the hell is painted on this flag? Is it the flag of Goguryeo?"

"The painting is of a golden frog," said Xu Rongjiu, who had been at the border for a long time, and understood clearly after just one glance. "It is said that the father of Joomong, the founding king of Goguryeo, was King Jinwa... The red background of Jinwa should be the one of the five Goguryeo novels.

The direct noble is here."

"A noble person from the Ministry of Guan Na?" Lou Gui couldn't help but repeat it.

"Exactly!"

"Young Master!" Lou Gui suddenly bowed again. "The enemy general is arrogant and incompetent, and the fighter plane has appeared. Please let all the Hu cavalry come out, cut off the Goguryeo camp from other camps, and then hand over all the Han troops to Yi Gong and attack immediately.
To be continued...
