The army of the government came from the Zhenwu Guard of Daizhou and went to the right guard of Wanquan. The entire army had 5,600 people. The leader was Chang Rong, the commander of the Shenwu Guard. He was ordered by the commander of the Tongzhi of the guard and led his troops to change defenses. However, when he arrived in Hunyuan, he received an imperial edict from the court, ordering him not to continue north for the time being, but stayed in the local area, waiting for Huailai and the two guards of Huai'an to encircle and suppress Xiaowutai Mountain. Chang Rong stationed in Hunyuan, but he could not wait for Huai'an, half of the soldiers of Huailai. Zhenwu soldiers were stationed in Hunyuan, and the supply of military supplies was not guaranteed. After dragging them day after day, Chang Rong gradually couldn't stand it and sent scouts to inquire about the news from the northeast. But he knew that he would always have no movement when he explored and explored.
The defender of Huaian, who had not received the order to send troops at all, was afraid of avoiding war, but in short, he did not even let Chang Rong see him. Chang Rong was originally impatient, but after a while, he became very anxious. Chang Rong seemed to be a fool general. Not only did he go to the battlefield seriously, he also had military achievements, and was full of confidence in himself. In anger, he drafted a memorial to report to the court, and joined the two commanders and magistrates of Huailai Huaian. The officers were afraid of the enemy to avoid war and hesitated. While he went north, he was preparing to attack Xiaowutai Mountain. If he had 5,600 people, he would no longer take advantage of the Guotian Army, which had more than 5,000 people. The Guotian Army was guarding the mountain village and gained a advantage, and Chang Rong had a lower chance of victory.
Although Chang Rong was irritable, he was not reckless. He also knew that if Mao went to the mountain to catch the mountain, he would probably have to do all his troops here. At that time, the entire army brought enough dry food and left the flag and rushed. In one day, he rushed to Yuanyangkou, northwest of Xiaowutai. In order to hide, he did not allow soldiers to make fire and make food, so he also ate dry food together. While resting and recuperating his subordinates, he sent scouts to inquire about the situation in Xiaowutai. Soon after, the scouts reported that there was a trap at the mountain pass, so he asked them to record the location of the sentry of the Tianjun Army, draw a simple picture, and send it to their subordinates.
He didn't know how many mechanisms were still trapped in the mountains. He wanted to wait a few days before attacking, but in the evening of that day, the scouts reported that all the thieves in Xiaowutai were gathered, and they didn't know what they meant. Chang Rong thought that the Tianjun had discovered that his troops were stationed here and wanted to take the initiative to attack the camp. He made a quick decision and ordered the entire army to make a meal and immediately set off the camp. The three armies silently walked towards Xiaowutai. Yuanyangkou was only forty or fifty miles away from Xiaowutai. By the middle of the night, he had already arrived at Xijingou.
Since Chang Rong learned that he was coming to attack Xiaowutai, he was stationed in Hunyuan and sent people to Changning Town, Weizhou, Taohuabao and other places to look for people who were familiar with the terrain of Xiaowutai. He asked about the situation of each mountain, drew a map, and remembered it in his heart. When he was watching the map, he paid great attention to Xijingou. This place was a valley with steep mountains on both sides, and it was the only passage from Xitai to enter the mountain. Because the terrain was very dangerous, the guard forces arranged by the Tianjun here were not many.
There was only half a team. Chang Rong discovered this floor and took Xijingou even more. At this moment, he decided to raid Xiaowutai, so he naturally chose this route. It should be noted that Xiaowutai is very wide, and the Guotian Army really occupies the central area. As for the periphery, it is just a daily patrol to prevent outsiders from entering the mountain. Especially Xitai, because the mountain is dangerous and the Guotian Army is even weaker. He has to deal with the sentinels and can drive straight into this place.
However, it was said that the 500 vanguards of Zhenwu Army first rushed to Xijingou and touched them in darkness. It was the beginning of the month, and the sky was dark and it was suitable for sneak attacks. Although Huan Zhen attached great importance to military training, he had never joined the army after all. He had no professional training methods. Although running mountains and palm pressing could improve the physique of soldiers, he could not teach them tactical skills. Huiden and others were originally bandits, and asking them to study these was also a delusion. Therefore, when the Tianjun was harassing them everywhere
The generals were helpless, but once they really fought each other, they would not be the opponent of the official army. The twenty minions guarding Xijingou were killed by most of the five hundred officials in a short while, with only one person. Seeing that the situation was not good, they abandoned their weapons and fled without even handing over their hands, and at least they could save their lives. At that time, the main leaders of the Guotian Army were still busy with internal strife. He was still in a state of conscience, and before he escaped, he ran back to the majority of the Beitai headquarters to report the news. The night sentry was shocked and immediately blew the trumpet.
Huan Zhen received the call and couldn't help but slap himself. Xiaowutai Mountain has five mountains, southeast, northwest, north and middle, among which South Taiwan is the highest, and West Taiwan is the most dangerous. Therefore, Huan Zhen did not use West Taiwan as a key place when he arranged his defensive forces. He didn't expect that the enemy would attack from West Taiwan now. He felt that he could kill him. He could kill him. Now the army is in a hurry, and he came from West Taiwan, which is the weakest garrison. He must have already investigated the situation here. However, the enemy's situation is not clear. It can be said that the other party is secretly but he is clear. This battle is very difficult to fight. He didn't care about many things and immediately said to the five commanders: "Get together immediately and train."
The training ground was followed. All those who had been resigned in the evening were reinstated. We must explain to them that they were temporarily resigned to catch the traitor and stay with them forever." The five commanders Nuo left. Huan Zhen spread out the map of Xitai underground, looked at Xijingou, and thought to himself that if the enemy came from this valley, the method of fire attack would not work, let alone there was no time to prepare in a hurry. It took about the time to calculate the time. It took only two hours to go from Xijingou to Beitai Camp. How to deploy between these two hours was related to the life and death of the Tianjun. He racked his brains and thought desperately, but the more anxious he was, the less he was, the more he was, and he was so anxious that sweat was rolling down his head.
Suddenly Fu Shan said, "It's better not to fight!" Huan Zhen raised his head, looked at him, and asked, "What's the point?" Fu Shan said, "Xiaowutai Mountain is very big. If I abandon Beitai immediately and escape into the mountain, the army would search Xiaowutai, at least three or five days." Huan Zhen said, "What's that? After all, it's inevitable that the battle will be held opposite sides." Fu Shan shook his head and said, "Otherwise, they may not have brought a lot of food and fodder from afar. Before we left, each of us brought enough dry food to burn the mountain village, and taught them that there was nowhere to find food. Then he took them around in circles in the mountains. These official troops were not good at fighting in the mountains, and they would be dizzy after a few rounds. At that time, we could break it." Huan Zhen was very surprised, thinking that this was not the tactic of Chen Yi's hiking mountain valleys in Jiangnan, and he couldn't help but nod.
Hui Dengxiang said, "No, no, this copycat was built by brothers for months. Now it has begun to take shape. How can it be destroyed?" Huan Zhen thought to himself why he was so round and retorted, "How come the second brother wants to guard the copycat, and everyone dies together?" Hui Dengxiang said, "How can I do this? I just want to find a way to retreat enemy troops and protect the copycat." Huan Zhen was both angry and funny, and said, "How can the second brother have any good plans?" When it comes to fighting alone, Hui Dengxiang is a famous master, but the two armies are not fighting each other after all, and no matter how strong his martial arts are, it is useless. He had to shake his head at the moment.
Huan Zhen ignored him again and said to Fu Shan: "In your opinion, after we burn the camp, which direction should we go?" Fu Shan looked at the map, thought for a moment, pointed at a place, and said, "First go north, then west!" Huan Zhen said in surprise: "The enemy comes from the west, how can our army go west?"
Fu Shan said thoughtfully: "Although I don't know that the enemy general is, he must be quite scheming when he can think of a sneak attack from Xijingou. He must have known that most of our army is stationed in Beitai. Brother, think, if you are an enemy general and want to take my three brothers, how should you use troops?" Huan Zhen thought for a while and said: "If I have ten thousand soldiers, I will encircle Beitai from all directions." Fu Shan said again: "What if it is only five thousand soldiers?" Huan Zhen said: "Divid two troops, attack Beitai directly from one route, and block the south." Fu Shan smiled and said: "Come on. There are troops stationed in Meiyu in the east, I
If the army does not go to Dongtai, I think the enemy general will probably expect it. However, he cannot go to Nantai." Huan Zhen said in confusion: "So where?" Fu Shan pointed to Xijingou and said: "Why can't I go here if the official army is gone? I rushed out of the mountain from Beitai, then headed west and walked around to Xijingou into the mountain. Although he was wise, he would not have expected that I would go around behind him." Huan Zhen hit his left fist in his right palm and shouted: "That's it!" Hui Dengxiang looked at the two of them talking enthusiastically, and didn't know whether they understood or not, and his expression was just indifferent.
But when the guards came to report, all the people had already gathered, waiting for Huan Zhen to order. Huan Zhen and Fu Hui's eyes met for a moment and came out hand in hand. Huan Zhen climbed onto the platform and shouted: "The government army is coming, and all the soldiers will bring food for ten days. All the houses will be burned within one moment. No one should be left! Go and prepare quickly and gather again in a moment!" Everyone was so excited. Huan Zhen saw that the public was unstable, but the situation was urgent, so he had no time to explain more, so he could only shout: "Do you resist the order!" The public then dispersed, but after two minutes, they were gathered at the training ground again. When Huan Zhen looked at the bags brought by the people, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, but when they saw that they were carrying a huge bag, bulging and not knowing what they were doing, some people carried two more, one on the chest and the other on the back, which looked like a pot in front of the chicken breasts and the other on the back.
Huan Zhen said angrily, "What are you all bringing?" He jumped off the stage and stretched out his hand to pull a bundle hanging on the chest. The bundle cloth broke and the things inside fell all over the floor. With the light of the torch, he saw it very clearly that they were all golden beads and valuable things. Huan Zhen was furious and asked, "Where did these things come from? I repeatedly told him not to embezzle the officials, why did you knowingly commit it?" The co-star was ashamed and lowered his head. Huan Zhen reached out and pulled away the bag of another bundle of the flag. It was similar, and he had money and goods, but there was no dry food.
Huan Zhen did not expect that the army he built had such a relaxed discipline. He couldn't help but be ashamed and angry as he trembled his hand and stuttered: "You... do you still have me as a military advisor in your eyes?" The general suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I have only been ordered by the General Tianxing. The General did not ask us to hand over the seizure. What a thing you are, you dare to ramble in front of me! I was so happy to fight with the General back then. If it weren't for the general's affection, who would have been so angry like you!"
Huan Zhen was shocked and angry. Unexpectedly, his hard work was completely invisible. These people respected him for the sake of Guo Tianxing's face. When it comes to prestige and trust, he could not even reach one ten thousandth of Hui Dengxiang's. He kept reminding himself that at this moment, the enemy was in front of him, and he tried not to fight in internal conflicts. He tried to suppress his anger and said to Hui Dengxiang: "Second brother, what do you think?" Hui Dengxiang looked embarrassed and shouted loudly to the generals: "Brother, is Hui talking! Whoever dares to disobey is against Hui!" The general lowered his head again and did not speak again.
Seeing that the situation was not stable, Huan Zhen said immediately: "Everyone didn't bring dry food just now. Go and throw away the property quickly, take the dry food, and set fire immediately." Then everyone dragged it. Huan Zhen stood on the high platform, looking at the empty training ground below, and felt cold in his heart.
