The Jiangzhou army was beating horses and galloping.
Heliantong personally led the team.
No one cares about horsepower.
According to He Liantong, as long as Chenzhou and Taizhou are captured, all the horses will be worth it!
…
"quick!"
The Northern Xinjiang Army is on its way frantically.
Yang Xuan personally led the team.
He wished he could spread his wings and fly to Dexin City, slap the second son in the face first, then pat him on the head and praise him a few times.
At this moment, he would rather lose Taizhou than let Wang Laoer be trapped in a tight siege.
He Liantong was a veteran of the Northern Liao clan, a character who once made He Lianfeng fearful. How could it be that his fame was in vain?
Now Yang Xuan just hopes that the old man can fish out of his realm at home and do things slowly and calmly.
What is that called... being careful!
In other words, three sticks can't beat a fart.
Generally speaking, it is the temperament of people whose edges have been smoothed by life.
Isn’t Heliantong exactly the same?
The old thief led a team of people and rushed to the front.
Tu Shang was among them.
Passing two cities along the way, the defenders were so frightened when they saw them that they all huddled up.
But no one paid a second glance to the guards.
"What are you doing here?"
The defenders who thought they had escaped were very curious.
Then came the infantry.
A mass of foot soldiers were walking quickly.
The defenders trembled again.
Then, they found that no one was paying attention to them and the infantry walked away.
"Is this...not taking us seriously?"
"How about we go out of the city to pursue him?" Someone suggested.
"You go home!"
"Don't you want to make meritorious service?"
"Who will reward us after we have made meritorious service?"
The city was silent.
Lin Jun is good, he is good to the soldiers, and he is good to the people, but a traitor is a traitor.
Unless the rebellion succeeds, the soldiers will not be of the same mind as him.
…
Wang Laoer ordered the prisoners to repair the city wall, while he squatted on the city wall all day eating dried meat and staring into the distance in a daze.
"What do you think, second brother?"
The thin elder asked.
Wang Laoer chewed the dried meat in his mouth without delaying his speech, "This person is married, how come he feels vaguely different?"
The thin elder smiled and said, "Isn't that right? In the past, the little man had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. At that time, he was very carefree and could do whatever he wanted. But after he got married, he saw that there was someone else on the pillow. Not long after, there were more children in the family. The little man
I can’t let go of this heart. A villain has to make money and hold up a sky for his wife and children. At any rate, he has to protect them from having to worry about food and clothing, and from being exposed to wind and rain."
"Hey! I know, I just feel uncomfortable sometimes." Wang Laoer sighed, "I still feel comfortable being alone."
"Keren must finally get married and have children!" said the fat elder.
"Yes! Otherwise, what's the point of having such a long guy?" The thin elder said in a more vulgar way.
Wang Laoer was a little depressed, "It would be nice if we could just be together at night."
The thin elder was happy. "Second brother, this is a beautiful idea!"
The fat elder said: "When we are married, two people are like one person, there is no way they can be separated."
"Hey!" Wang Laoer thought of Yang Xuan.
Yang Guogong likes to go home when he has nothing to do. He also enjoys being treated as a test subject for acupuncture by his wife. He is even more happy to be ridden by his second son as a big horse.
Some people say, Duke, you are a man who does great things, how could you do this?
Yang Xuan sneered at this: Those who want to do great things should put aside their wives and children? If you don't sweep one family, how can you sweep the world?!
Wang Laoer remembers that Widow Luo was standing nearby with a bright look on her face, as if she had some admiration for her.
"Second brother, the scout is back."
Wang Laoer threw the dried meat into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, swallowed it, clapped his hands and said, "Hurry up."
tight."
The team leading the team was on the top of the city, with a solemn look on their face, "Second brother, the Jiangzhou Army is out in force, and 20,000 cavalry are on the way."
Fuck me!
Wang Laoer stamped his feet. He wanted to run away, but then he thought, "How far is it?"
"Three hours at most!"
It's terrible!
Wang Laoer looked at the sky and gritted his teeth and said, "Look for women in the city who are good at needlework. Find more."
"What does second brother want a woman for?" someone asked.
"Go quickly!"
Wang Laoer stood on the top of the city, looking in the direction of Chenzhou, "My lord, come quickly!"
A group of women were gathered together, all a little uneasy.
Although the military discipline of the Northern Xinjiang Army was good, there were also reports of death camps burning, killing and looting after entering the city. The women looked at each other, turned around in tacit understanding, stretched out their hands and pulled hard behind.
Turn around again.
Peace in the world!
"Second brother is here."
Wang Laoer strode in, "They're all here!"
"yes!"
What does this guy want us to do?
Everyone looked up at Wang Laoer.
Rumor has it that this man enjoys hunting heads, but he looks innocent, like the silly boy next door!
"Make a flag!"
Make a flag?
…
The sun sets.
Heliantong looked ahead, "How far is it?"
The messenger said: "Your Majesty, there are still more than ten miles."
"Keep going, let's go down in one fell swoop!"
Heliantong ordered.
Traveling at night is too dangerous... Looking at the setting sun that is about to disappear at the end of the sky, how many cavalry will be lost along the way?
But King Lian Jiang doesn't care, who dares to question it?
So the 20,000 cavalrymen continued on their way.
There are infantry behind.
The sun sets, and between the sky and the earth, there is only a faint light from the end of the sky.
From time to time, a war horse would miss the mark and fall down, but no one would care.
When you see Dexin City ahead, a crescent moon hangs in the sky.
Like a gentle woman.
Before he could take a breath, Heliantong ordered: "Build a ladder!"
"who?"
Someone at the top of the city shouted and asked.
Heliantong smiled, "Light the torch to scare the enemy!"
Puff puff puff!
Torches lit up in swarms, illuminating the seemingly endless cavalry.
"There are five thousand horses, and there are many people in the city. Wang Laoer has also assigned people to guard them and the prisoners. There will not be more than four thousand people on the city. Dexin City is not small, and he cannot protect it fully. He will surround it later. Attack, make him focus on one thing but not the other, and strive to defeat him with one blow!"
Dexin is the administrative seat of Taizhou, and the city is not small. With four thousand people on the top of the city, it seems a bit weak, and the reserve team is pitiful.
To defend the city, you must have a reserve team, otherwise if you break through a little bit and you can't counterattack later, it will be an overall breakthrough.
Therefore, Heliantong was very confident, and his subordinates even forgot about their fatigue and were busy eating solid food.
For a moment, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of chewing and choking coughs.
A sergeant finished eating and shouted towards the city: "Hey! Have you eaten?"
"have eaten!"
The voice in Chengtou is quite loud.
The sergeant shouted: "Do you dare to take the risk?"
"What?" Chengtou asked.
"Do you dare to light a torch and show me the sparse people you are waiting for?" the sergeant shouted.
He Liantong nodded, and naturally someone around him asked the sergeant his name.
Boy!
You are going to be prosperous.
"Okay!" The man at the top of the city shouted, "Light the torch!"
Puff puff puff!
The torches spread one by one towards both sides of the city.
The city head gradually became clearer.
The flag extends side by side to both sides...
A man in green clothes stood on the top of the city and smiled at the people below, "Why is King Lian Jiang so late? Yang has been waiting for a long time!"
He Liantong was startled, "Yang Xuan!"
There was a sigh behind him.
Too late!
But everyone felt that this was more reasonable.
Yang Xuan ordered Wang Laoer to raid Dexin City, so he naturally led his elite troops to follow closely.
"This person is very calculating!"
He Liantong suppressed the regret in his heart, and a general said: "Your Majesty, withdraw!"
"We cannot withdraw now. Once we withdraw... we will be at a disadvantage."
When two armies meet, the brave one wins. But you are about to encounter the enemy, and you run away without knowing the number of enemy troops. What will your subordinates think?
Morale is something you can't touch, but you can feel it.
If the general has shrunk his eggs, his subordinates will naturally fear the enemy like a tiger.
"Fall back and set up camp, we'll see again tomorrow."
The army slowly turned around, and its morale was somewhat low.
"Your Majesty, the morale is not right."
"The journey was in vain, so the soldiers naturally became listless."
Helian was aware of this mentality, but he had no good way to solve it at the moment.
The only way to do this is to show off tomorrow.
"Urge the infantry to come quickly."
"yes!"
The large group of people walked slowly. Someone in front found a suitable place to camp and was leading people to inspect it.
Setting up camp at night is very troublesome and can lead to mistakes if you are not careful. Therefore, when marching, you must complete the camp before dark and have dinner.
After nightfall, the less movement there is, the better.
The less noise the better...
Because we came here on a light horse, the so-called camping means setting up a few tents. Most people will sleep in the open tonight, and only the generals and warriors will have tents to stay in.
Heliantong stood on the edge, as if thinking about something.
"The fence cannot be erected. Be careful of enemy raids at night!" someone was explaining.
Without a fence, the enemy can directly raid your camp, and the night-watch sergeants have no danger of defending it. They can resist a wave and then be bulldozed.
There is almost a whole book dedicated to explaining the rules of camping in each country, and that book is very thick.
"Raid?"
He Liantong was startled, then pinched his eyebrows, "Yang Xuan...how do I remember that he is good at surprise attacks?"
The general turned around and said, "Yes! What this person is best at is fighting head-on, outflanking, or hitting his opponent from behind, making it difficult for them to guard against him."
"A scout from the Northern Xinjiang Army came to our army. Since he entered Dexin City, why didn't he arrange an ambush outside the city? Just when I led the army to arrive, the city gates were opened wide, and we were attacked from both sides."
Heliantong turned around suddenly, "Have you ever seen that Yang Xuan clearly?"
"Your Majesty, I have never met Yang Xuan."
Now Yang Xuan is the governor of Northern Xinjiang and rarely leads his troops into battle. As an opponent, it will be difficult to see him.
Of course, you can also go squat opposite the Jiedushi Mansion and see how lucky you are. If you are not lucky, there is a 60-70% chance that you will be discovered, and then become a prisoner and go to jail.
"That person..."
A condor shooter said: "That man looks... honest."
Condor shooters have the best eyesight!
"Honest!" He Liantong was startled, "Wang Laoer!"
"Yes, if it is Yang Xuan, he will definitely ambush me. Wang Lao Er has thousands of horses under his command, so he can only guard the city. What a Wang Lao Er!"
Heliantong's eyes were bright, "Gather together and prepare to go back!"
…
"My second brother is so dressed up in state uniform."
The thin elder praised.
"Yes! I thought it was the prince standing on the top of the city." The fat elder also learned to flatter others.
Wang Laoer coughed dryly and said, "Don't talk about it later."
"This is a brilliant plan! Why didn't the second brother tell me?"
"Shame on you!"
Wang Laoer's outlook on life is occasionally strange.
The thin elder and the fat elder get together.
"My second brother didn't act like that before."
"Yes! I asked for someone else, and the second brother said that no one is more like the Duke than him."
"Fortunately those idiots have never met the Duke."
"Escaped!"
Ta-ta!
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves came.
Wang Laoer, who was about to go to bed, got angry and said, "Who the hell is here again."
Torches were lit one after another, illuminating the silent army.
Heliantong looked at the city, "Wang Laoer!"
"What?" Wang Laoer responded, then twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered: "He can't see!"
The top of the city was dark and pockmarked.
"Yang Xuan is still in Tanzhou!"
Boom!
The city seemed to have been struck by thunder.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Laoer said: "Yang is here, He Liantong, do you dare to come and try?"
He Liantong suddenly laughed, "Just for a moment, I was so stunned that I was sure that Yang Xuan was not in the city. With a bluff, I almost deceived me and attacked the city!"
"No more pretending!"
Wang Laoer took off his green shirt and shouted: "The Duke is on the way, and he will arrive in half an hour at most."
He Liantong smiled and said, "You are fierce in appearance but weak in heart. Let's see this old man come down with a drum!"
Groups of cavalry dismounted and turned into infantry... The cavalry were elite, but at this moment they were treated as coolies, carrying wooden ladders and rushing towards the city.
"Spread out, surround us from all sides, and attack together!"
He Liantong just bullied Wang Lao and the other two soldiers, and he also had to beware of the prisoners and people in the city making trouble.
Once you get started, you'll be a blast!
"Wang Laoer, surrender now, I will spare your life!"
Heliantong said.
Those soldiers were a little dissatisfied, thinking that Wang Laoer's hands were stained with the blood of Daliao warriors, why would these people leave him alive?
This is the difference between ordinary people and famous generals.
In their eyes, if Wang Lao Er is captured, he should be cut to pieces with a thousand cuts.
But in He Liantong's eyes, Wang Laoer was a resource.
Using Wang Laoer's return to undermine the morale of Northern Xinjiang couldn't be more cost-effective.
The braver Wang Laoer was in the past, the greater the blow to Northern Xinjiang will be after his return.
At the top of the city, Wang Laoer scolded: "You old dog who is stubborn, please stand firm!"
There was a sudden commotion in the city.
Several riders came to report, "Second brother, hundreds of people are in rebellion!"
"Press it down!"
"Yes, but we are short of manpower!"
Wang Laoer looked at the sparse people at the top of the city and said, "Two hundred people are gone!"
Once the two hundred people left, the city seemed increasingly sparse.
It’s really raining all night when the house is leaking!
Boom!
The wooden ladder was put up on the top of the city, and there was a creaking sound, which was the enemy starting to climb.
The archer stepped forward and shot an arrow down.
There was a miserable cry from below, and then an arrow flew up. The archer was hit by the arrow in the forehead and fell down.
"The enemy is coming."
The city was brightly illuminated by torches. Heliantong smiled and said, "Hurry!"
"Your Majesty, are you worried that Yang Xuan will arrive?"
"Yang Xuan used his soldiers to appear and disappear. I am worried that he will come with a light horse. Although we can't arrive today according to the schedule, we can be careful and there is nothing wrong."
"Your Majesty, they are coming to the top of the city."
A fierce fight broke out on the top of the city, and the enemy successfully occupied a foothold.
Heliantong smiled and said: "The big deal is settled!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The generals under his command sincerely admired this veteran general. Everyone thought that he was playing fisherman at home, but he couldn't.
The previous hair-thin insights made people sigh, "Ginger is still hotter with age!"
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves came from the right.
"Stop!"
Someone is shouting!
"The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming!"
A scream came.
The whole army was silent.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder, approaching quickly.
"Assemble! Pull back!"
Heliantong's response was quick.
Clang clang clang!
The enemy troops at the top of the city retreated in confusion. Wang Laoer lost no time in attacking and killed more than a hundred people.
"How did the enemy troops withdraw?"
The thin elder was puzzled, lying on the top of the city and looking down.
The enemy troops retreated like a tide.
Then the formation began.
Turn to the right!
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over there.
There are many torches, approaching slowly.
Getting closer.
"Stop!"
Amidst loud shouts, countless cavalrymen reined in their horses.
Form a team quickly.
As soon as he rode out, he looked at He Liantong opposite with a smile and said, "Yang is here, King Lian Jiang. Nice to meet you!"
