Chapter 274: Good News
Seeing Lu Yifan running out hurriedly, Zou Ming sneered and stood up. After Lu Yifan surrendered in Lanling, he was sent back directly. The Taiping Army used him as a chess piece and pre-implanted into the Shuntian Army. However, if you want to use people like Lu Yifan, only if you are in a strong position can he be willing to use it for you. He mistakenly thought that the Taiping Army was a chess piece that the Qi army had pre-implanted into Fengxian County. Zou Ming did not say it out loud, let him think about it like this, or if he thought so, it would make him more attentive in doing things.
He will only be a harness. He can play a little role when the Taiping Army needs him.
Pulling a little gap in the curtain, Zou Ming looked at the surrounding environment. As Lu Yifan said, the angry Molo was dispatching troops and preparing to take revenge, and the entire camp was in chaos. But their area seemed very quiet, because the small camp was all those who fled back from Lanling County. After Lu Yifan was released, he also gathered thousands of such young and strong people along the way. These people who were broken were naturally not among the recruitment of Molo's battle. Taking them with them would only make morale worse.
Since the beginning of the rebellion in Changyang County, Molo has been smooth sailing for more than half a year. Have you ever suffered such a big loss?
Zou Ming sneered, and Molo's reaction was indeed as the general expected. This person could become a hero, but it was absolutely difficult to become a hero in troubled times.
Standing up straight, tidying up the clothes of Shuntian Army, Zou Ming flashed out of the big tent.
The lights were brightly lit above the city of Shayang County, and a team of soldiers stood at the city, with their swords unsheathed and arrows rolled. The chaos in Moluo's camp naturally shocked Shayang County. Since Moluo's besieged the city, he has almost never stopped fighting every day and every three days. Anyway, Moluo has many people. Naturally, there are many people in the county. After Moluo took Changyang County, Old Master Liu began to prepare to face his opponent. A large number of young and strong men were drawn from all over the place to the county city, strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, delaying the war for a long time, and dragging down Moluo was the wishful thinking of Old Master Liu.
Old Master Liu has lived for more than 70 years, and he can be said to be a sharp attack on the matter. He can see through Molo's disadvantages at first glance. So far, his strategy is incorrect. Although Molo has occupied the vast majority of Shayang County, Molo has gained nothing in Shayang County. He has occupied some cities, not only not fulfilling the intention of supplementation, but has become more burdened in vain.
Molo is indeed in trouble now, but if Mr. Liu knew that the Chu people had intervened in the matter and had already transported supplies to Molo from Baoqing Port, he would probably not be so sure.
After more than a month of fighting, Liu Xingwen's more than 4,000 county soldiers had already lost half of the losses, but the young and strong who had been injected effectively made up for this loss after countless bloody battles. Shayang County City still stood firm in front of Moro.
"Old Master, Mo Luo wants to have a big fight. There are quite a few people mobilizing this time!" Chen Jialuo looked at the lights moving in the distance and said to Old Master Liu with some concern.
Old Master Liu's face was a little pale. After taking the pill, he took Mo Luo's arrow. The sequelae had begun to appear, and outsiders could not see it, but Old Master Liu himself knew very well that his realm had begun to shaky.
"The soldiers come and the generals stop, and the water comes and the soil is flooded." Old Master Liu said quietly: "Moluo may already know that he can't hold on anymore. He must try it alone. As long as he overcomes this level, Shayang County City will be safe and sound. Tell the men and be prepared!"
"Yes!" Chen Jialuo nodded and said, "Driving this plague god away earlier, otherwise if this stalemate continues, Molo can't stand it, and we will go bankrupt."
"Grandmaster, is there no news on the Yuejing City? Those two old men just watched us isolated here? Even if we just sent a soldier out, we could restrain Molo and relieve our pressure!"
Old Master Liu snorted coldly: "I have sent several groups of people to sneak out of Shayang County to Yuejing City, but now His Majesty the Emperor has listened to Zhang Ning's words, and the Qin people suddenly increased their offensive. The two old men just said that we would persevere and would compensate us after the war."
"If we can't stand it, what's the use of compensation? The two old men don't think about it. If we collapse, will their losses be a lot?"
"For them, it's just a loss." Old Master Liu stood up, "but for us, it's a destruction of the family and the clan. This incident tells us that when doing things, we should never count on others, we have to rely on ourselves."
He walked slowly to the city wall, "This battle was an opportunity that allowed me to see a lot of things clearly. Hehe, I don't know what agreement Zhang Ning and the two of them reached, but they actually thought of giving up on us like this, or did they think that if they wanted to save us, would the price they would have to pay too much?"
"How can they do this? Haven't we fed them over the years?" Huang Xi, who was standing there, said in a lost voice.
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant." Old Master Liu said lightly: "If they feel that the price they will pay to save us is greater than their income, they will naturally be in their current attitude, not to mention that we have broken our faces with Zhang Ning. Even if we have survived this level, we still have to hug their thighs. Could it be that we will turn against them?"
Liu Xingwen angrily said, "So what if you turn against me? After this battle, the strength of our Shayang County will increase significantly. After these young and strong people have experienced these wars, they will not lose to the elites of Yuejing Tiger Ben in the future. What can they do to us?"
Old Master Liu smiled, "There are mistakes and gains, or this is what we have gained. Hey, why are someone here?"
Hearing the words of Mr. Liu, Chen Jialuo and Huang Xi stood by the city wall and looked down at the city. In the darkness, a man suddenly emerged, dressed in the sky army, but at this time he held his hands high and slowed down when he reached a distance of 100 steps from the city, and walked slowly over step by step.
"General Zou Ming, the Taiping Army, was ordered to come and see Mr. Liu." The people from the city stood at the place where the fire was illuminated by the fire, raised their faces and said loudly.
"Zou Ming? Taiping Army?" Liu Xingwen was surprised, looked at the man under the city for a moment, and nodded, "Father, this man is indeed Zou Ming. I have seen this man in Taiping City."
"Has the Taiping Army really arrived?" A hint of blush flashed across Old Master Liu's pale face, "Hehe, I didn't expect that a mere bandit would be more trustworthy than some people who read poetry and books and are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality and trustworthiness. Let him come up."
Liu Xingwen looked at Zou Ming under the city and shouted: "General Zou, please come up."
Zou Ming nodded, accelerated and ran a few steps, his body soared into the sky and rushed up against the city wall. When the old force was about to end, he reached out and pressed the city wall. A somersault was turned up, and his body was raised again. When his feet fell, he stood firmly on the city wall. "Zou Ming had met Mr. Liu."
He clasped his fists and bowed to the ground.
"Xia Zou, I've heard of Daming for a long time. Why is it so outfit?" Old Master Liu asked with a smile.
"I am ashamed of being a hero. Zou is now just a small soldier under General Li." Zou Ming waved his hand, "Old Master, five days ago, under General Li's command, our Taiping Army, under General Li's command, Yu Lanling defeated Bao Bufan's troops in the Shuntian Army, killed Bao Bufan in formation, wiped out Bao Bufan's three thousand elite Shuntian Army, and dispersed tens of thousands of young and strong men. Now on the way to Shayang County, General Li is worried that the old master is anxious, so he sends Zou Ming to report the good news to the old master first, and ask Shayang County to persevere. We will not be able to win."
"Slaying Bao Bufan in the Formation? One of Molo's Four Kings?" Old Master Liu was stunned at first, then laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, good, good Taiping Army, it's really extraordinary. Did you defeat them in the field? How many people have you come in total?"
"Go back to the old man, General Li brought a total of 3,000 men. Yu Lanling and Bao Bufan fought outside Lanling City and won a great victory." Zou Ming raised his head proudly.
"How much do you lose?" Liu Xingwen asked impatiently.
"The Taiping Army was killed 142 people and injured 358. The seriously injured have returned, and the slightly injured are still coming with the team." Zou Ming raised his head higher. The hissing and cold air coming from all around was the greatest reward and affirmation to the Taiping Army.
"The combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army is so amazing?" Chen Jialuo looked at Zou Ming with some doubts, "How is this possible?"
"When the head of the Chen family saw our Taiping Army, we will see the difference." Zou Ming smiled. "Although Bao Bufan has many people, in the eyes of my general, he is just a group of mobs. Not to mention him, even if Moro comes in person, we can defeat him with one blow."
The city was silent. Although Zou Ming said something a bit big, it was a foregone conclusion that the other party defeated Bao Bufan's army with only three thousand people. However, they did not dare to leave the city to fight Moro's army head-on.
"It turns out that Mo Luo mobilized the army late at night because Bao Bufan was destroyed by you?" Old Master Liu said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Mo Luo heard that Bao Bufan was killed by us, and was angry and mobilized the army to take revenge!" Zou Ming said relaxedly.
"Moro now has more than 20,000 trained troops under his command. How is General Li going to deal with it?" Liu Xingwen asked in a serious manner. Now the Taiping Army is their only foreign aid and hope. If the Taiping Army loses, they will be really isolated and helpless.
