Chapter 439 Emergency Military Situation
Although the moonlight was bright, many torches were still placed on Yanzhou City. While the firelight illuminated the lower part of the city, it also illuminated the top of the city brightly.
From a distance, you can see groups of soldiers in black clothes and armor patrolling back and forth, intimidating Xiaoxiao inside and outside the city.
The white-faced man Zheng Tianshou personally led the soldiers to patrol the city. He was the only remaining one among the three people in Qingfeng Mountain. The golden-haired tiger Yan Shun and the short-footed tiger Wang Ying were ordered by Song Jiang to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and were bumped into by the current prince.
He was the only one who escaped with his life. Later, when Song Jiang tried to steal the prince's heavenly book, he was chopped into two pieces by Li Kui with an axe.
Originally, Zheng Tianshou thought that sooner or later he would be ordered by the prince to die somewhere. Unexpectedly, the prince did not bear any grudge against him for following Song Jiang. Instead, he made him the commander-in-chief of the Liangshan veterans. Therefore, Zheng Tianshou has always been grateful in his heart and is very serious about his work. Others
While the captains assigned their men to watch the night, he personally led the men to watch the night.
"Who?"
When Zheng Tianshou was leading his soldiers on patrol, he heard a sudden shout from the guards at the city gate and hurriedly led his soldiers over.
"My name is Langya Yanming. I have been ordered by General Lu to recruit and surrender Fangdang tribe. I have urgent military information to report to General Lu."
When Zheng Tianshou arrived at the city gate, he saw two party members riding camels standing at the foot of the city.
Although there was light from the city's fire, one could only see the outline of the person, not the appearance.
Zheng Tianshou pulled up a torch from the top of the city, threw it in front of the two men, and shouted: "Put up the torch and let me see."
The torch fell to the ground, throwing up a cloud of sparks, and the fire became much smaller, but it was not extinguished. It would be difficult to extinguish it until the grease on the torch burned out.
Lang Nian Yanming could see Zheng Tianshou's face at the foot of the city. Knowing that Zheng Tianshou was one of the five thousand captains, he did not dare to say anything more. He held the torch next to his face and shouted: "Lang Nian Yanming pays homage to Zheng Tianshou."
General."
Zheng Tianshou also saw clearly the name of Lang Niaoyan and asked the soldiers on the city to put down two hanging baskets.
Naniwa Iwana and the guards grabbed the rope, squatted in the gondola, and let the guards on the top of the city pull them up.
On the top of the city, Lang Yanyan cupped his hands and said, "I've seen General Zheng before."
Zheng Tianshou asked: "Why are you returning to the city now?"
Langya Yanming replied: "The Fangdang tribe has decided to surrender to Daliang. Just when I was preparing to come back, King Shu Renli of Xixia led his troops to the Fangdang tribe. I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I had to wait until now to come back."
Zheng Tianshou said excitedly: "Prince Shu? A prince must be able to lead many troops, right?"
All the soldiers were gearing up. After they entered Xixia, they attacked Weizhou and Yanzhou, but they didn't meet any decent opponents, but they almost forgot how to fight.
Lang Yanyan said: "We brought less than 20,000 people here. They retreated from Xingqing Mansion and prepared to attack Yanzhou."
There were less than 20,000 soldiers heard. Their faces couldn't help but show disappointment.
Zheng Tianshou didn't take the 20,000 people seriously at all. He shook his head and said: "It turns out that he just escaped from the prince's hands with his life. This guy didn't want to hide anywhere, but he came to the door again. This time he must be doomed."
.General Lu should have rested long ago. Now you
I don’t know if I can see him. If it’s just this news, it won’t be too late for you to report it tomorrow morning. Even if we don’t make preparations, it will be difficult for a mere 20,000 people to capture Yanzhou, not to mention there are no trees outside. They
It’s difficult to build siege engines.”
When the guard on the side heard this, he couldn't help but look at Nani Iwana anxiously. He didn't have enough status, but he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Lang Nianyan knew his anxiety, and said with his hands: "The Renli camp is simple, and the Fangdang tribe is planning to join us in a night attack on the Renli camp. As long as we seize this opportunity, we will definitely defeat Renli's troops. Otherwise, Fangdang tribe will be able to defeat Renli's troops."
Tomorrow the tribe will be driven by Renli to pile up mountains of earth to attack the city. They have already promised to surrender to Daliang. It would be a pity for us to kill them if they are driven here by then."
Zheng Tianshou did not comment, nodded and said: "If this is the case, you should go see General Lu. I have my duty as a general, so I won't send you off. However, there are still patrolling soldiers in the city, so I will send two of you to see General Lu.
Let’s go to the general.”
Hearing this, Lang Yanyan hurriedly said: "Thank you, General Zheng."
Even though they were led by two soldiers under Zheng Tianshou, the group was still questioned twice by the patrolling soldiers in the city before they arrived at the Yamen in the center of the city.
Soldier Lu Junyi who was guarding the door saw a group of people stopping in front of the Yamen and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lang Yanyan cupped his hands and said, "I have urgent military information to report to General Lu, and I would like you two to report it."
The soldier knew the name of Lang Nieyan, and frowned: "General Lu has already taken a break. Are you sure it is an urgent military situation?"
Lang Yanyan nodded and said: "Yes."
The soldier thought for a while and said: "Then I will report it. You have to be careful. If you lie about the military situation, you will be subject to military law."
Lang Yanyan smiled and said: "I know."
Seeing how confident Nani Iwana was, the soldier had no choice but to turn around and go in to report. He was not qualified to know the emergency military situation.
Lu Junyi was already asleep. When he heard that the soldiers outside were begging to see him, he could only get dressed and come out, asking: "What's going on?"
The soldier cupped his hands and said, "Lang He Yanming said there is an urgent military report."
Hearing this, Lu Junyi nodded and said, "Bring him in."
"yes"
After the soldiers outside the door left, Lu Junyi said to the soldiers outside the door: "Go and call Yan Qing."
"yes"
However, Lang Nian Yanming and Yan Qing arrived in front of Lu Junyi's house almost at the same time. Although they were woken up from a deep sleep, Yan Qing was not confused at all. He nodded to Nang Ning Yanming and entered the house together.
Seeing the two of them coming in together, Lu Junyi asked, "What urgent military information do you have?"
Lang Yanyan said: "After receiving the general's order today, the villain went to the city to find the contact person of the Fangdang tribe, and then went to the Fangdang tribe. The leader of the Fangdang tribe has promised to submit to Daliang, and the villain is about to come back to report the news
At that time, King Shu of Xixia, Renli, led 20,000 soldiers and horses to escape from Xingqing Mansion. They arrived at the Fangdang tribe and blocked me inside. In order to avoid Renli's sentry, I had to wait until late at night before sneaking out.
"
"Is this an emergency military situation?"
Lang Nian Yanming also heard Lu Junyi's dissatisfaction and said hurriedly: "Renli wanted to drive men from various tribes outside the city to pile up mountains of earth to attack the city. The Fangdang tribe gathered a thousand people and wanted to cooperate with Daliang's soldiers and horses to attack Renli's camp at night.
"
Lu Junyi frowned and said, "How do you know this is not a trap jointly set by Renli and the Fangdang tribe?"
When Lang Yanming heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know Fang Dangjun before, and he really couldn't be sure whether Fang Dangjun was acting.
Yan Qing said: "Now that the situation in Xixia is over, and Renli is the defeated general, the Fangdang tribe should know which side to choose. How is Renli's camp going?"
