Chapter 128 Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son
Lin Chunhong led four or five thousand elite troops to rush into Biyang County. He was quickly discovered by Zhang Xianzhong and handed it to Zhang Xianzhong's desk.
Zhang Xianzhong had very high cheekbones, full heavenly court, big eyes as big as a bucket, and a long beard under his jaw, which was quite heroic. After receiving the report, Zhang Xianzhong was puzzled. At present, after Cao Wenzhao left, whether it was Zuo Liangyu, You Shilu, or Tang Jiuzhou and Li Bei, they were all stagnant, fearing that their troops would be damaged, so that other generals and fishermen would benefit. Not to mention Wang Pu, the general general of the Beijing camp, and Yang Jinchao, after accepting bribes, they not only did not advance, but also allowed the rebels to seek food everywhere.
Who is Lin Chunhong? He dared to come and flirt with my tiger beard with more than 7,000 troops?
Zhang Xianzhong twisted his beautiful beard, pointed at Liu Wenxiu, and asked, "Wenxiu, do you know the situation of this kid Lin Chunhong?"
Liu Wenxiu was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong. He was very meticulous and good at handling government affairs. In fact, he was the chief general of Zhang Xianzhong. He was responsible for raising and allocating food and grass. By the way, he collected and sorted all kinds of information. After hearing Zhang Xianzhong's question, he immediately replied: "Lin Chunhong was a general of the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the fifth year, Chongzhen led Jingzhou archers to Shanxi. In the first battle, Li Zicheng was expelled, Zhou Qing was killed in the formation of Tianxing, Zhou Qing was killed in the second battle, Luo Rucai, the general of the Zijinliang, and Chen Dahuai, the third battle, was killed in the Guanzhuang formation, and relieved the danger of the Baigang soldiers..."
Zhang Xianzhong was very interested and couldn't help but lean forward, interrupting Liu Wenxiu: "This Lin Chunhong and Baigangbang Bing have such a relationship? Could it be that this time I came to avenge Baigangbang Bing?"
Liu Wenxiu frowned and shook her head immediately: "My son is not sure whether Lin Chunhong has avenged the Baigang soldier."
Zhang Xianzhong smiled on his face. He admired Liu Wenxiu very much and immediately asked Liu Wenxiu to continue talking.
"After the Battle of Guanzhuang, Lin Chunhong and Lu Xiangsheng Zuo Liangyu fought with Gao Yingxiang in Zhangde Mansion. Gao Yingxiang's confidant Huntianxing Guo Rupan was killed!"
Although Lin Chunhong's record is impressive, Zhang Xianzhong didn't take him seriously and kept shaking his head, "It's interesting, haha, this guy is particularly frustrated with some bullshit Tianxing. It seems that Lin Chunhong never takes the initiative to fight with the main force, and he is looking for inconspicuous generals!"
Zhang Xianzhong's words hit the nail on the head. From Liu Wenxiu's words, it is inferred that Lin Chunhong's habit of avoiding the enemy's edge and finding enemy weaknesses to attack. Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons and generals kept nodding, just like a rooster pecking at rice.
Zhang Xianzhong's ability is indeed extraordinary, no wonder Chen Hongfan admired him very much at the beginning.
Zhang Xianzhong picked up the map, looked at it for a moment, and continued, "This Lin Chunhong is really an anomaly in the Ming Dynasty. He traveled thousands of miles to the north to fight. His military achievements really made him a lot. Look, he has all been promoted to the general!"
At this time, a child jumped out of the generals standing there, wearing a white robe, curled his lips, and shouted in discontently: "What kind of general is you? You are obviously a coward who dares not fight tough battles!"
Zhang Xianzhong curled his smile and shouted seriously: "Dingguo, don't underestimate this guy. It is the most difficult to deal with when he is trying to attack the opponent's weaknesses. At least, I don't know where he will start at this moment!"
Zhang Xianzhong's warning was very harsh. Li Dingguo was timid and hidden behind Ai Nengqi and did not dare to continue speaking. He had not yet grown enough. After hiding, he immediately disappeared from Zhang Xianzhong's vision.
Zhang Xianzhong ignored Li Dingguo, looked at Liu Wenxiu, and continued to ask: "How does this kid fight normally? Wenxiu, do you understand?"
Liu Wenxiu shook her head and said she didn't know.
Sun Kewang was secretly happy and said, "Among his son's troops, there were remnants of the Battle of Guanzhuang. It is reported that almost everyone in Lin Chunhong's army was armoured, and it was strong plate armor, which could not be penetrated with a stone bow. Moreover, there were fewer archers in his army and many crossbowmen. He held a steel crossbow that he had never seen before. The range was very long. It is said that one hundred and eighty steps could penetrate leather armor. At the same time, there were a large number of shield chariots in the army to protect the attacks of bows and arrows. There were two tiger squat cannons on each shield chariot, which were difficult for ordinary people to get close to."
As Sun Kewang's narration was made, Zhang Xianzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and he fell into deep thought.
The generals felt heartbroken. In the past, no matter what difficulties they faced, Zhang Xianzhong always laughed, scolded and showed his feelings. He was silent today. It seemed that Lin Chunhong was indeed a difficult opponent.
Sure enough, Zhang Xianzhong thought for a long time and said, "It seems that Lin Chunhong is a guy with excellent defense ability, but he just doesn't know how good his offense is."
Sun Kewang's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but swallowed it again. This happened to be seen by Zhang Xianzhong, "Kewang, just say anything, what's the hesitant thing?"
Sun Kewang took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and said, "According to the remaining soldiers of Zijinliang, Lin Chunhong knew the magic. On that day, they were guarding Guanzhuang Dazhai, when suddenly there was a thunderclap in the plain, and smoke was everywhere. Chen Dahuai disappeared and the entire village wall also disappeared."
"This..." Everyone in the county yamen, including Zhang Xianzhong, looked at each other, shocked and incredible.
After a long time, Zhang Xianzhong said seriously: "There is no magic in this world? I guess it may be something like a cannon, but it is only more powerful."
Liu Wenxiu made a list and said: "This thing may only be used once. Lin Chunhong later fought with Gao Yingxiang and had never heard of it."
Zhang Xianzhong looked at Liu Wenxiu, nodded, his eyes showing praise. The magic trick always makes people feel inexplicably scared. Liu Wenxiu's words were just right, greatly reducing the generals' concerns.
Zhang Xianzhong ordered: "Wenxiu, send someone to continue to inquire about Lin Chunhong. Be sure to know how this guy's offensive ability is. I hope that all your troops will be collected and the food and grass will be almost raised, so as not to be defeated by Lin Chunhong outside. Never mind, you will lead your troops to strengthen the city wall..."
Finally, Zhang Xianzhong said sternly: "From now on, everyone will not be allowed to order military orders and will not be allowed to go out of the camp. If there are robbers from the camp... kill them without any slaughter!"
Zhang Xianzhong issued a military order, but the generals did not dare to slack off and responded in a hurry.
After Sun Kewang returned to the camp, he regretted saying the evil deeds and felt quite uneasy. He immediately called his general Zhang Baichuan to discuss. Zhang Baichuan was calm and had few words, but he always had the best words. He was highly valued by Sun Kewang and attracted him as his confidant general.
Zhang Baichuan originally occupied the mountains near Yangcheng, Shanxi, and lived a very leisurely life. Later, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Jin, Zhang Baichuan was forced by Sun Kewang's army and joined Sun Kewang's command. With Zhang Xianzhong's battles in the south and north, he fought countless battles and made many contributions.
It was almost all Zhang Baichuan's contribution to Sun Kewang's understanding of Lin Chunhong's tactics so well.
After receiving Sun Kewang's summons, Zhang Baichuan immediately came to Sun Kewang's tent. Sun Kewang asked impatiently: "The magic you mentioned the day before yesterday is really a magic trick?"
Zhang Baichuan clasped his fists and said, "Report to General Sun..."
Sun Kewang was obviously impatient and waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Baichuan, "Speak directly if you have anything to say, don't be a fool. What's the point of making these traits go wrong!"
Zhang Baichuan said yes, but he complained deeply about Sun Kewang in his heart. He was a native bun, but he didn't know that these etiquettes were necessary to establish superior authority.
Zhang Baichuan stopped talking about these etiquettes and said quickly: "The soldiers are ignorant and falsely rumored to be a demonic law. There is no demonic law in this world? My subordinates don't believe this."
Sun Kewang sighed and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I was killed by you today. Although my adoptive father is not surprised, I have lost my face in vain! Alas..."
Zhang Baichuan was scolded and immediately knelt down and said half-heartedly: "I know my mistake and I am willing to receive the punishment!"
Sun Kewang said angrily: "It's useless to punish you. You might as well help me find out how Lin Chunhong's archers' offensive ability is. The adoptive father is most concerned about this. Today, this guy Liu Wenxiu is full of the limelight. It's hateful and hateful!"
Zhang Baichuan lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and replied carefully: "As far as my subordinates know, Lin Chunhong has only fought a tough battle in Guanzhuang. In that battle, his subordinates were also confused. I wonder why Chen Dahuai and the village wall disappeared out of thin air."
"After talking about it, I have been talking about the magic again. Has Lin Chunhong not attacked with a dignified attack? Without attacking, his offensive ability will definitely not be much higher!" Sun Kewang's thinking was clear, and he didn't know whether he had reached the conclusion that he was willing to believe.
Zhang Baichuan did not agree with Sun Kewang's judgment and said, "If the subordinates expected it would be right, one of the archers in Jingzhou should be holding a long spear, two of them holding shields and single swords to cover the spearmen, forming a three-person battle group. This battle group has both offense and defense, and almost no one can stop it in field battles!"
Sun Kewang was overjoyed and patted Zhang Baichuan on the shoulder, "Can you be sure?"
Zhang Baichuan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
