Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Luo Chong led Dalong and four others on horseback and had just walked out of the manor when they encountered someone from Dengzhou City coming to urge him to receive the order for the second time. This time, President Deng Hai and Deng Qian from the garrison camp came over in person.

    However, Deng Hai had already been promoted. Due to his merits in luring the enemy, he was promoted two levels in a row. He was originally a fifth-rank miscellaneous general, but was promoted from the fourth rank to a full fourth-rank Zhonglang general. He was allowed to expand the army in place, temporarily.  Stationed in Dengzhou City, he may be transferred to the capital in the future, or he may join a regular army.

    Following Luo Chong's success, Deng Hai felt that he owed Luo Chong a great favor, and did not want him to offend the imperial envoy for no reason and commit a major crime of contempt for imperial power.  So, he came to persuade me with good intentions.

    He came in a hurry. When he saw Luo Chong, he shouted: "Master Luo, I should call you a general now. Go to the city to receive the order. The special envoy of the imperial court, Mr. Wang, urged him again and again. He is already very unhappy."

    There were also eunuchs in the imperial palaces of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but the number was small and they never left the palace. Therefore, when going out to announce decrees, there were dedicated ministers who were often close associates of the emperor. By the way, they were responsible for observing people's sentiments and inspecting officials.  Moral conduct and other responsibilities.

    "It may not be effective for such a person to say good things about a local official in the emperor's ears, but bad words can have a very serious impact.  In short, local officials must curry favor with them and must not offend them.

    Luo Chong doesn¡¯t care who the imperial envoy is. Even if the emperor comes and doesn¡¯t want to see him, I won¡¯t bother to see him.  He first thanked Deng Hai for his kindness, and then said: "General Deng, it's not that I don't want to go, but the military situation is critical and I can no longer attend to receive the order."

    "What kind of military crisis is this?" Deng Hai was stunned, and his heart suddenly tightened.

    At present, the vanguard of the Xia Dynasty's Western Army has not arrived at the Song Dynasty border, and no enemy conditions have been discovered at Helinbao.  The Xia Dynasty border side had long been tightly sealed, and the Song Dynasty spies could not come back. Only Luo Chong, a guy with wings, could find out the information clearly.

    "The Zhenxi Army is coming. With 50,000 regular troops, plus reserve battalions, and young and strong civilians, the total number will not be less than 100,000, and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow, and Dengzhou City will be besieged."

    Luo Chong deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength. In fact, the Zhenxi Army only had more than 40,000 regular troops and more than 10,000 civilians transporting grain and grass, for a total of 60,000 people.

    "ah?"

    Deng Hai was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is the news accurate?"

    "Can this kind of thing be a joke?"

    Luo Chong glared: "I was just planning to find an excuse to retreat, so I didn't even bother to go forward to receive the order. General Deng, your garrison of more than a thousand people was casually attacked by the Zhenxi Army and disappeared."  You'd better go back and tell the special envoy to abandon the imperial edict and run away immediately."

    "Zhenxi Army, He Wanli"

    Deng Hai's face instantly turned pale. As a military general, he naturally knew a lot about He Wanli, the general of the Xia Dynasty. If he led his army here, Dengzhou City would be broken like an eggshell.

    Moreover, he was frightened by Luo Chong's statement that he was about to evacuate, so he reached out and grabbed Luo Chong's wrist, with a serious expression pleading: "General Luo, you can't leave, you leave.  ,What to do in Dengzhou City?¡±

    "One hundred thousand enemy troops, or the Zhenxi Army led by He Wanli, what can I do to resist, will an egg touch a stone?

    Luo Chong frowned, showing vague anger in helplessness, as if to express: General Deng, you can't just think of using me as a human shield when you are in danger. You can't take advantage like this.

    Shijo and others secretly laughed while riding on the horse, thinking that the boss's acting skills were getting better and better, and his expressions were so perfect

    "General Luo, don't you already have 900 men in your armored cavalry? You can annihilate ten times the enemy cavalry with less than 200. Now these 900"

    In panic, Deng Hai couldn't bear to hide that he had been secretly paying attention to the expansion and development of the riverside camp.  Of course, Luo Chong never concealed the number of biochemical knights, and allowed the biochemical warriors to cause chaos around the camp.

    "What happened to nine hundred?"

    Luo Chong widened his eyes and replied: "Can nine hundred heavy cavalry fight against an army of one hundred thousand? Last time, we were able to win by surprise. This time, it was the Zhenxi Army led by He Wanli, and his infantry phalanx.  He is the nemesis of cavalry, and his reputation is so great that the whole world knows it."

    "But if you leave, Dengzhou City will be completely destroyed. I have no choice but to abandon the city and run for my life. The only hope is in you."

    Deng Hai grabbed Luo Chong's wrist and almost knelt down to beg him: "General Luo, I'm not begging you to defeat the Zhenxi Army, even if it's just to defeat his vanguard. Give me some time to send people to the capital."  I'm in a hurry. I'd like to ask for some reinforcements."

    The so-called reinforcements actually have little hope. The Song Dynasty fought on two sides and was under double pressure from the Xia and Tang Dynasties. The several legions guarding the border were trapped to death, except for the Imperial Guards guarding the capital, and thenThese local garrison camps with low combat effectiveness have almost no troops to send.

    The military strength of the three countries is almost the same. Now that two countries are occupying one country, the Song Dynasty's military strength will inevitably be stretched. It can only be used to defend the most important positions. Remote cities like Dengzhou City are likely to become abandoned.

    "Everyone knows these truths, but Luo Chong still nodded and said thoughtfully: "If we just deal with their vanguard force, it won't be that difficult"

    "That's right, that's right"

    Deng Hai nodded repeatedly: "As long as we can defeat their vanguard force, we will not be derelict in our duties, and we may even have made a great contribution. After all, it is not our fault that the imperial court cannot send reinforcements. By then, we will not be able to evacuate Dengzhou City again.  There won't be any problems. Otherwise, General Luo, all the rewards we just got will turn into nothing, and even disaster will happen."

    The meaning behind his words was revealed. He did not expect the imperial court to send reinforcements at all. What he could count on now was that he would be successful and keep the official position he had just obtained.

    If you flee without fighting, when the time comes and the court punishes you, it will be a light one. You may become a miserable scapegoat and be beheaded in public to cover up the court's incompetence.

    "Well"

    Luo Chong pretended to be moved and said to him: "General Deng, please go back first and make various preparations with Magistrate Chen. However, you must not evacuate first before getting the exact information from me. Otherwise, it will be very disrespectful."  You left me behind out of righteousness, but if you do something like this, don't let me turn your back on you."

    "Absolutely not"

    Deng Hai slapped his chest and replied loudly: "I am also a general who fights with swords and guns. I can never do such things as betraying my trust and running away without fighting. As long as General Luo doesn't leave, I will die on the battlefield.  You won¡¯t even frown at all.¡±

    As a military general, he is not afraid of death, let alone fighting. But if it is a battle with no chance of winning, and he will be instantly submerged in the wave of enemy attacks, then his death will be meaningless.  In short, if Luo Chong dares to stay, he will have the courage to charge into the battle with the armored heavy cavalry. At least he can kill a lot of enemies before dying.

    "Okay, then it's settled"

    Luo Chong could see his sincerity and bloodiness with his true eyes, so he nodded and said, "Go back and prepare. Maybe we can create a miracle."

    After saying that, he turned around and mounted his horse. After running for more than ten meters, he turned back to Deng Hai and gave Deng Hai a bared smile. The smile was quite strange.

    Deng Hai was stunned by that smile and murmured in his heart: Isn¡¯t he lying to me?  Will he not plan to accept the challenge at all, or will he lead his team to evacuate?

    However, in this matter, he has no power to restrain Luo Chong. He is the commander of Beilu Township Yong and is not subject to the control of local officials. It can even be said that the entire Beilu civilians are under his jurisdiction. He just won't fight.  He fled and hid in other places. He just made up a random story and said, "He went to a certain ravine on the North Road to suppress bandits. He happened to be not in Dengzhou City. As a bandit general, he would not have any fault."

    Xiangyong is the commander of the envoy, and his subordinates are all militiamen. There is no formal establishment. The court does not even give him food and salary. Why should he be required to guard the country?

    Therefore, although Deng Hai's official rank is one level higher, he cannot ask Luo Chong to do anything. He can only put down all face and plead with him.

    In other words, Deng Hai quickly returned to Dengzhou City and immediately reported the news to the special envoy and the prefect Chen that the Xia Dynasty Zhenxi Army's 100,000 troops had come to invade the country. He also explained on behalf of Luo Chong: It was not that he did not come to receive the order, but that the military situation was critical.  , General Luo led a few hundred people to meet the enemy.

    Special envoy Wang immediately accepted this explanation and highly praised General Luo's fearless spirit in defending the country to the death.  He also promised Magistrate Chen and Deng Hai to return to the capital immediately and request reinforcements for Dengzhou City

    So, the special envoy Mr. Wang put down the imperial edict and left Dengzhou City immediately without even having time to have lunch.

    ¡°Are you kidding? If you don¡¯t run away, it will be too late. One hundred thousand Zhenxi Army will surround you on all sides. By then, not a single bird will be able to fly out.

    At the same moment, Luo Chong calmly mobilized his troops at the riverside camp and assigned each of the four Dalongs a hundred-man heavy cavalry, each with one man and two horses, and equipped with clear maps shot from high altitude.

    You go to ambush here, he goes to wait there, let go of the small group of detective horses and vanguard troops of the Zhenxi Army, don't worry about anything, wait until the enemy army has a large-scale rout, then you can attack separately.

    The mission of the four squads is to kill the enemy. They do not need to capture the enemy troops because they do not have enough manpower and cannot handle many surrendered troops.

    Of course, it was impossible to kill all the more than 40,000 people. Instead, they were surrounded on all sides and forced together to force them to surrender.

    Not surrendering?

    Then Luo Chong will lead his troops, disperse them again, kill some more, encircle them again, and continue to force them to surrender.

    If it doesn¡¯t surrender, then come again

    Until they have no fighting spirit and completely collapse, maybe 20,000 to 30,000 troops will surrender.

    ?With so many surrendered troops, it is impossible to transform all the Bubbles into biochemical warriors. How to deal with them will be discussed at that time.

    "Let's go our separate ways."

    For his biochemical warriors, Luo Chong did not need to shout slogans to improve their morale. They were the demon slaves who were least afraid of death. This sentence was just said to the four Dalongs in a rather plain tone, and he also gave another instruction: "  Pay attention to safety. If you die on a battlefield of this level, I can only say that your lives are too fragile.
