Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 264: tit for tat

Hao Bainian didn't relax his attack without the general who led the army being Zeng Ziwen's younger brother. On the contrary, he gave his all at the beginning, and also rejected Zeng Ziwen's request to persuade him to surrender first.

The reason is very simple. If Hao Bainian had sufficient troops and surrounded the Ming army on all sides, then he would not mind giving Zeng Ziwen enough time to persuade him to surrender, because even if he failed to persuade him to surrender, it would not matter. If you can persuade the surrender successfully, you can also avoid the casualties of the soldiers.

But now, although he has more troops than the Ming army on the opposite side, it is not enough to completely surround the opponent. Therefore, he chose an early morning raid instead of an encirclement battle. What he wants is to use the The effect of the raid is to ensure victory to the greatest extent, and at the same time try to avoid casualties during the battle.

Even though casualties are unavoidable in wars, under the premise of ensuring victory, avoiding casualties as much as possible is something that most generals will consider. This does not mean that generals will pity the lives of soldiers and succeed in becoming a general. Even for unqualified generals, in their hearts, the lives of soldiers are just numbers. Appears to be outstanding.

What Hao Bainian pursues is the military exploits that are enough to send him to the throne of the battalion officer!

Following Hao Bainian's order to launch a raid, Zeng Ziwen at the back could only pray in his heart that his younger brother would not be hit by a musket, a bow and an arrow, or a long knife or a spear.

As for persuading Hao Bainian, he never thought about it!

As a former Ming army thousand households, and now among the war chiefs of the Privy Council of the Tang Dynasty, he is more aware than other officers of the Tang Dynasty that military power cannot be interfered indiscriminately.

In today's battle, the commander is Hao Bainian, and Zeng Ziwen is nothing more than an unrelated person accompanying the army for personal affairs.

If he dared to dissuade Hao Bainian, Hao Bainian would definitely look at him with contempt, and even a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When the two armies are at war, how can you change the plan just because of your own personal feelings? You are rude to say, how old are you Zeng Ziwen? If you dare to talk too much, Hao Bainian dares to directly cut him in the name of disturbing the morale of the army and obstructing the battle.

Zeng Ziwen himself is a senior general who has been in the army for many years. Naturally, he knows what the generals in the army have scruples, so even if he is worried about his younger brother, he can only watch it, praying that his younger brother will not be so reckless and rush directly to the university. Under the muzzle of Tang Xinjun's musket team.

After Hao Bainian led the army to attack, he was still cooking, and the Ming army, who had not even eaten breakfast, was in chaos.

Several people who looked like officers were shouting loudly, trying to organize the soldiers into formation.

Fighting in this era, in the face of the enemy's attack, the most important thing is to form a confrontation as soon as possible, otherwise, the end will be tragic.

Skirmishing tactics are not popular these days, and the battle of large armies is not about personal bravery. One side advances in a tight formation, while the other side fights individually. The victory or defeat is almost 100% certain.

Personal bravery can only play a relatively large role in some melee battles, such as when you are on the stage. At other times, as long as one side's formation is messed up, it is basically equated with defeat.

At this moment, how can the Ming army, which is still in chaos, resist the new army of the Tang Dynasty that suddenly appeared and advanced rapidly in a dense formation?

Impossible!

Even if the soldiers of the Ming army were all very brave generals, they had to be beaten into a hornet's nest when they faced the dense phalanx formed by the musketeers and spearmen of the Tang Dynasty's new army!

A raid, from the beginning to the end, lasted less than five minutes before and after, and more than half of the Baiduo Ming army were casualties on the spot, and the rest were scattered.

After the fighting subsided a little, there were soldiers who led two people to Hao Bainian and Zeng Ziwen. Both of them were dressed in Ming Dynasty generals' clothes, and at first glance they knew that they were Ming army officers.

The two were a little embarrassed at this time, their clothes were not neatly dressed, and the boy's clothes were still stained with blood.

This man seems to be still unconvinced by being **** and is struggling. This man looks young, but his body is extremely thick and the strength to struggle is small. The two soldiers holding him on the side have spent a lot of money The strength is to hold him down.

However, this man's struggle stopped at the moment he saw Zeng Ziwen. At this moment, his mouth was wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He closed his eyes quickly, then opened them. Look again.

Then he asked tentatively, "Big brother?"

At this time, Zeng Ziwen had already walked a few steps forward: "Zi Song!"

At this time, the young man called Zisong showed a ghostly look: "You, why are you still alive, are you a human or a ghost?"

At this time, Zeng Ziwen showed his elder brother's face and said with a serious face: "What are you talking about, you are living a good life for your brother, why are you a ghost!"

After Zeng Ziwen finished speaking, Zeng Zisong's expression changed again, and then he asked: "Brother, why are you here? Why are you with the pseudo-Tang bandit army?"

Zeng Ziwen said: "My brother is now serving for my emperor, serving as the clerk of the Privy Council of the Tang Dynasty."

At this time, Zeng Zisong's face changed greatly, and then he showed an angry expression: "My Zeng family has been loyal for generations, you, you turned out to be a thief!"

When Zeng Ziwen said this, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. Although he had already joined the Datang New Army, he joined the Datang New Army not because he saw that the Datang Dynasty could unify Kyushu, but because he had to do it. On the one hand, he wanted to regain his freedom after being a prisoner for a long time. On the other hand, Li Xuan's sincere invitation also moved him.

Even if the Tang Dynasty is finally destroyed, if you can make a big vote, you will not waste your life like this.

But as a knowledgeable person, he knows how outsiders view the Tang Dynasty, that is, a thief, and he is also a rebel!

Sometimes he even thinks so himself.

So now Zeng Zisong, his own younger brother, said it directly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and heard Zeng Zisong say: "You are smearing the family, you are bringing the disaster to the clan, you are a thief, we What did the Zeng family do? In just a few days, the family will be seized by the court and wiped out!"

Hearing these words, Zeng Ziwen's face became even more ugly, but relying on his elder brother's name, he forced himself to say: "What do you know, doing this for your elder brother naturally makes sense for your elder brother!"

Hao Bainian, who was on the side, saw the Zeng brothers arguing with each other. He was too lazy to take care of other people's housework. Anyway, he caught him alive, so he was worthy of Zeng Ziwen.

Immediately, he said to Zeng Ziwen, "Master Zeng, you and your brother are chatting first. I still have trivial matters to deal with, so I'll go first!"

Zeng Ziwen said to Hao Bainian, "Master Hao, you are busy in advance, here Zeng can handle it by himself!"

Hao Bainian nodded, and then left first. He really had something to deal with. The cleaning of the battlefield also needed to be arranged. Besides Zeng Zisong, they also captured another twenty, twenty or thirty people. an arrangement.

As for how Zeng Ziwen talked to his younger brother Zeng Zisong, and what the final result would be, that's none of his business!
