490. Five days of life and death (9)
What kind of character is the chief of an army? What kind of character can this army be? This sentence is not wrong at all. Just like Huang Song, before joining the Heavenly Dao Army, he was just a Toutuo who walked around the world and was content with everything. After eating the last meal, he didn't care about whatever he caught in the deep mountains and forests. He didn't care about eating raw meat and drinking blood. Except for his own name, the words he knew were definitely not more than the number of Buddhist beads he carried on his neck. It was not until he joined the Heavenly Dao Army that he learned three or five hundred words for the first time in his life. In addition, the things taught in Liangshan College were all like the books of heaven for him.
He doesn't understand any military strategy, nor does he understand the set of great principles mentioned by the commander. He only knows that whoever treats him well will be good to him, and whoever treats him as a brother will also treat him as a brother. For him, the Tiandao Army is his home. The former leader, the current commander is not only the parents of this "home", but also the real brother who treats him sincerely. Therefore, he does whatever the commander asks him to do. He is a rough man, and his stubborn mind never thinks about what to do. You just need to tell him what you want him to do, and he will work hard and do it to this goal.
The commander asked him to train the Bozhou army well. He meticulously trained his army according to the training methods learned from Liangshan College. The commander said that the army must run twenty miles of cross-country running every day, so he led his subordinates to run twenty miles of cross-country running. No matter how wind, rain, heat, and cold, no matter who it is, he cannot lose any step. The commander said that he sweats more often in wartime and less bleeding. He took the lead in practicing himself and the soldiers every day like dogs and can only climb back to the barracks. The commander said that there were thousands of troops in front of him. If you block them tightly, you can't retreat even if you can't retreat. He would not take a step back. Under his leadership, this army also inherited his character. With just one order, hesitate, hesitate, even if he was not the soldiers trained by Huang Song in the words of the soldiers.
Among the 15th Division of the Five Armies in the Heavenly Dao Army, the ** Division did not take anyone seriously, but from the top to the division commander Pang Wanchun and down to the cooking cook, Lao Wang frowned when he mentioned the Bozhou Army, because Huang Song and his Bozhou Army were a group of madmen. A madman was not scary. What was scary was that more than 7,000 madmen gathered together and formed an army, which was the most deadly thing.
What are the characteristics of a madman? In fact, there are only three words: unreasonable. The Bozhou Army is such an "unreasonable" army! They are not afraid of training, are not afraid of hardship, and are not afraid of war. No matter who the enemy is, no matter how many times the enemy is, as long as they provoke the Bozhou Army and receive the command of the commander, the Bozhou Army will dare to rush up regardless of the consequences. There is only one principle: kill one enough to kill one, and kill one more, you will earn one. Don't expect to reason and persuade them to surrender or scare them away with force. They are like mad dogs. As long as they are bitten by it, don't expect it to let go when it is alive.
But God is just like that. Among the four generals sent by Daming Mansion, the first and fourth generals acted alone, but the 20,000 people from the second and third generals cooperated with the action to directly take Bozhou. Huang Song and his madman army encountered a more severe test than elsewhere, and had to resist the attack of the other side's 20,000 people with 7,000 people!
What's more coincidental is that due to food and grass problems, the second and third generals set off one day later than the first and fourth generals. After all, 20,000 people ate more food, so logistics preparations were a little more troublesome. So they got news that shocked them before they set off. Ten thousand of the first generals actually defeated Yanggu County on the first day. The 10,000 army was almost wiped out. The main general Yao Qigong was killed and the deputy general Xue Shuo was captured!
As for how they lost, in order to avoid punishment, those who fled back naturally described the Liangshan bandits as extremely cunning, treacherous and cruel. The two thousand people in Yanggu County were also said to be 20,000. Yao Qigong was ambushed again, and the army was defeated.
This incident shocked the second and third generals extremely. They knew Yao Qigong's ability, and they also knew that the first general was more than a little stronger than their army. Even they were defeated. It is conceivable how powerful the Liangshan bandits were. They immediately put away their original contempt for the Liangshan bandits and always warned themselves to be careful and not end up with the same fate as Yao Qigong.
In this way, the second and third generals started to fight steadily from leaving Daming Mansion, and sent a large number of scouts to explore the way forward and carefully entered Bozhou. As a result, a scene that surprised them immediately happened. When they had just entered Bozhou for more than ten miles, their scouts were surprised to find that there had been an army of about five or six thousand people in front of them. From the flags of the army, it was actually the Bozhou army. Looking at the formation, it was clearly what had been waiting for here.
The scouts quickly returned to the army to report the situation.
Even though the chief and deputy generals of these two imperial guards were all the soldiers and experienced veterans, they were stunned when they heard this. What are the Liangshan bandits doing? Could it be that they want to fight us here? Could it be that they are crazy, and they dare to stand in front of my 20,000 army with this little force?!
If it were in the past, I was afraid that the two generals of the imperial guards would have already cursed the bandits as they were rampant, and happily killed thousands of bandits. But now with the lessons of Yao Qigong and the first general, the two generals looked at each other and saw deep doubts and vigilance in each other's eyes, for fear that this was a trap set by the bandits of Liangshan, and the purpose was to deceive themselves!
Thinking of this, the two generals immediately ordered their respective troops to set up their own troops, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to investigate and monitor the movements of the bandit army to see if there were any enemy ambush around them. Because such a thing is simply too unreasonable, and there has never been such a case in any military book. In ancient times, no party at a disadvantage in military strength has not relied on cities, set up ambush, and did not build defense measures. So stupid Biao Biao attacked the enemy with several times his strength. Except for the enemy being a group of madmen, they had tricks!
As a result, before the scouts sent to all sides came back, the scouts sent to monitor the thieves came back in panic and reported that the Bozhou army should have discovered us and were approaching quickly, and they were in a state of being desperate.
The two generals were immediately panicked. They immediately faced a choice. Should they fight or retreat now? Of course, they were not afraid of the thousands of bandits, but they were afraid of being trapped by the bandits. As a result, they thought about it and finally made the safest choice. Let's retreat first, and then make plans when the scouts from all sides find out the situation. They must not attack rashly and be deceived by the bandits.
In this way, the 20,000 imperial guards quickly retreated, retreated ten miles and returned to the side of Daming Mansion.
When the Bozhou Army saw that the officers and soldiers had retreated, they did not continue to chase them, so they retreated back.
So is this army the Bozhou army? What do they want to do? Are there any ambushes from other Heavenly Dao Army around?
The answer is yes. This army is the Bozhou Army, and the division commander Huang Song is among them. Their purpose is also very simple. They are to attack these 20,000 enemy troops. As for ambush, there must be no one.
Such a thing is unimaginable to happen to any army, but it is normal for Huang Song.
It turned out that after Huang Song left Qizhou City, he remembered three things: First, the commander said to defend the border to the death. Second, the commander said to transfer all the troops that could attack to the front line. This battle was only offensive but not defense. Third, the commander said... After the battle, he invited me to celebrate the wine.
Along the way, Huang Song racked his brains and kept thinking about a problem: officers and soldiers came to burn our summer grain, so how should they stop them?
Huang Song thought about it, thought about it, and finally slapped his brain and "taken the plan". By the way, wouldn't it be enough to kill them or drive them back directly?
In this way, under this strange and strange thinking logic, Huang Song made such a most direct and craziest decision. He wanted to personally lead the entire division to fight the enemy in a decisive battle and kill the enemy back to their Daming Mansion in one breath!
Huang Song is very confident in the 7,000 people he trained himself. As for failure, his stubborn mind never had this concept. Decades of experience in wandering around the world told him that the more ruthless you are, the more afraid of your enemies. If you are not even afraid of death, then what else do you have to be afraid of?!
In this way, a battle that should have been to the death was avoided by various chances. Seeing the officers and soldiers retreating, Huang Song was still very depressed. He really wanted to do what those thieves and soldiers wanted to do, but they dared not fight.
When he was depressed and led the army back to Bozhou, his troops suddenly came down to report, "Report to the division commander, and found the enemy attack from Bozhou!"
When Huang Song heard this, he was happy, and then he started to curse, calling the thieves and soldiers so cunningly. No wonder he didn't fight with him just now. It turned out that he had sent someone to take a detour to attack my Bozhou. It's over. Now Bozhou's troops are empty, and I'm afraid it has been broken!
Huang Song immediately ordered the entire army to attack at full speed, defeat the army first and then regain Bozhou City.
As a result, when the two men approached Huang Song, they were surprised to find that there were no officers and soldiers on the other side, but they were actually the commander!
