A strange Yuan Army cavalry unexpectedly appeared near Jiangdu City. Xu Baisheng felt that something was wrong!
He immediately returned to the team and issued an order. The entire army was ambushing in a forest on both sides of the north-south path, preparing to ambush the Yuan soldiers.
Geng Si was already dissatisfied with his order to stop the army. Seeing that he was setting up an ambush by the road again, he couldn't help but said: "Xu, Xu Qianhu, if we don't rush to the valley immediately and set up an ambush here, what are we going to do?" ?"
"The Yuan soldiers are here!" Xu Baisheng said concisely and to the point.
Geng Si was stunned. No one in the North Gate Army had ever called the South Gate Army or the Ximen Army Yuan soldiers. In other words, was this a strange Yuan army?
While he was still in a daze, the sound of hoofbeats sounded in the distance, and the carriage came galloping towards him.
An ordinary carriage would probably fall apart if it ran so fast, but that carriage held steady and ran at an astonishing high speed under the pull of two horses.
Geng Si subconsciously took another look at the carriage and couldn't help being surprised. He recognized this carriage as Shen Qianqian's carriage!
"Shen...Shen...Shen..." He stuttered even more when he got excited.
Fortunately, there were not many people named Shen. Xu Baisheng understood and said, "Is that Shen Qianqian in the car?"
Geng Si nodded hurriedly.
Xu Baisheng said no more and silently watched the carriage pass by. When the cavalry from behind came over, he gave an order and countless arrows were shot out.
Shen Qianqian tightly grasped the inner armrest of the carriage with one hand and hugged the maid Chunhe with the other, her face looking pale.
There is only one handrail in the carriage. If Chunhe is not hugged, Chunhe may be thrown out when he hits a stone.
Chun He huddled in her arms and was already crying from fear. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and kept praying to God and worshiping Buddha.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the carriage driver shouting "Oh", and the carriage slowly stopped.
Shen Qianqian was shocked. Could it be that all the guards outside were dead? He shouted urgently: "Yangzhuang?"
A steady voice came from outside: "Miss, don't worry, we are safe."
Shen Qianqian stretched her head and looked out the window, only to see that the road ahead was blocked by a group of soldiers in blue, and a steady stream of soldiers came out of the forest.
Turning around and looking behind, all the chasing cavalry were lying on the ground, and a group of soldiers in blue were clearing the battlefield.
The Beimen Army was wearing blue clothes. Shen Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and got off the carriage, only to see Xu Baisheng and Geng Si walking over.
Shen Qianqian didn't know Xu Baisheng, but she had met Geng Si a few times. She hurriedly greeted him and said hurriedly: "Where is Zhang Qianhu?"
Geng Sidao: "He, he..."
Xu Baisheng interrupted: "Miss Shen, was it Yuan Bing who was chasing you just now?"
Shen Qianqian nodded repeatedly and said anxiously: "It's Brother Wang Meng's army. He has occupied the port. We need to tell Zhang Qianhu quickly!"
Shen Qianqian knew that today was the day of Zhang Yangquan's uprising, so she decided to leave Jiangdu City today. After noon, she took a carriage to the dock and left on her own large cargo ship.
When she arrived at the port of Ruijiang, she found that the port was blocked by the Yuan army and all ships were subject to inspection. Moreover, she also recognized that the people occupying the port were Wang Mengge's army.
How dare Shen Qianqian be caught by Brother Wang Meng? He quickly ordered people to force the boat to dock.
Not even the boat, he took a carriage and returned to Jiangdu City with dozens of guards.
Her behavior naturally attracted the attention of Yuan Bing. Brother Wang Meng secretly returned to Jiangdu just to raid Jiangdu City. He detained all the people leading to the port.
When he learned that someone had escaped, he immediately sent a cavalry of hundreds of people to chase him.
Shen Qianqian's bodyguards were all warriors Shen Wansan had spent a lot of energy training since childhood. They were skilled in bows and horses and well-equipped. Under the protection of these people, he ran back to the south gate.
Unexpectedly, the south gate had been captured by Zhang Mingjian and the city gate was closed. Shen Qianqian could not enter and could only run around the city gate.
Along the way, I was chased by Yuan soldiers several times, and there would always be guards who took the initiative to stay behind.
After sacrificing dozens of guards, Shen Qianqian's carriage, led by the guard leader Yang Zhuang, circled all the way to the western suburbs.
She didn't dare to risk going to the west gate, so she continued to detour, and then she met Xu Baisheng's troops.
After hearing Shen Qianqian's words, Xu Baisheng looked south for a while and said, "Geng Baihu, we may have to change our plan!"
Geng Si frowned and said, "You, how do you want to change it?"
"We will divide our troops into two groups. I will take 2,000 people to the southern suburbs to stop the Yuan soldiers. According to the original plan, you will take 3,000 people to the valley to participate in the annihilation of the Nanmen Army!"
Geng Si shook his head: "No, no, the military advisor's plan is no, it cannot be violated lightly!"
Xu Baisheng looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Brother Wang Meng occupied the port but did not attack Jiangdu. He must have wanted to make a surprise attack at night. It is already dark now, and his army may have set off. I must hold him back, otherwise Jiangdu will definitely fall into his hands!"
Shen Qianqian couldn't help but said: "He must have brought tens of thousands of people here. If you only bring two thousand people, aren't you going to die?"
Xu Baisheng ignored her and glared at Geng Si: "There is no time! You hurry up and tell the military advisor and the village leader the news. I know there is a Hulu River in the southern suburbs. As long as I get there first, I can at least stop Brother Wang Meng. Time!"
Geng Si knew in his heart that he was risking his life to buy time, his eyes turned red, and he said: "I, I only need two thousand people, you, you, take three thousand people!"
After saying that, he turned around and began to give orders to divide the troops.
Xu Baisheng did not stop him. He was silent for a while and said: "Don't let your two thousand people enter the valley. Just block the entrance of the valley so that they can't get out!"
Geng Si asked: "Then the military counselors can, can they win?"
Xu Baisheng said: "We will definitely win. Our soldiers are better trained than them. After a stalemate for a period of time, they will be defeated. The west is blocked by us, and they can only retreat into the valley!"
Geng Sidao: "I, I understand, let's block them in the valley from front to back!"
Xu Baisheng said: "Although this will create a stalemate, it will allow the military advisor to send some troops back to Jiangdu to defend the city!"
After finishing speaking, he gave the order and headed south with three thousand men and horses.
Although Shen Qianqian was ignored by Xu Baisheng, looking at his leaving figure, she felt a sense of respect in her heart.
"Shen, Miss Shen, I still have a mission, you can go back to the city by yourself!" After Geng Si finished speaking, he led his soldiers towards the valley.
A gust of summer wind blew by, and in a blink of an eye, only Shen Qianqian and his party were left on the north-south path, as well as the corpses of the Yuan soldiers. All the Yuan soldiers' horses were taken away, and their weapons were also seized.
Chun He escaped from death and finally calmed down his fear. He looked at the direction in which Geng Si's army was leaving and whispered: "Miss, who are they going to fight?"
Shen Qianqian said thoughtfully: "Didn't you hear what they just said about annihilating the Nanmen Army? It seems that the so-called alliance uprising is just a trap set by Zhang Yangquan!"
Chunhe muttered: "Then where are we going now?"
Shen Qianqian sighed and said: "Since they are fighting, we are likely to encounter the defeated troops. Now that the army is in chaos, we can only enter the city."
He immediately got on the carriage and ordered to get off. The carriage and horse team headed towards the north gate of Jiangdu City.
