Luo Youdu soon made a decision. From the time he defeated Liu Yanzhen to the time he learned from Zhang Yanhan that there was food and military equipment hidden in the Dong Fei River, and then sent troops here, there was not much time.
The other party could not have expected that Liu Yanzhen would be defeated so miserably.
If Zhang Xiong and others were pretending to surrender, logically there would be no time for such a plan.
He has two thousand cavalry in his hands, who can come and go with ease. If he really needs to be deceived, he can retreat calmly.
Then, he loudly said: "You unload the grain from the ship quickly and stack it together. When the fighting starts, hide behind the grain. Don't cause unnecessary casualties. If the enemy comes, I will deal with it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiong's feeling immediately changed.
It was a last resort for him to rise up and rebel, to survive in death.
What is the environment in Dazhou? Even ordinary people like him don't know. Although there are rumors that Guo Rong is kind and loving to the people, there are also rumors that Guo Rong is murderous. Who knows whether it is true or not?
The Southern Tang Dynasty couldn't survive, so it was just a bet that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be better.
Historically, he obviously made a wrong bet.
Now that Luo Youdu had graciously fulfilled his promise to the people and protected their lives, he was naturally moved and thought to himself: God is really kind to me and he has not made a wrong choice.
He loudly arranged for the people to carry the food as instructed. Instead of being afraid of the coming enemy, he was actually a little bit excited.
Luo Youdu led the cavalry back fifty steps. There was a bend upstream of the river bank, and the river bank was covered with reeds, where he could hide his body.
The first time he came here, he had already observed the surrounding terrain.
While waiting, Luo Youdu waved to Zhang Yanhan, who was leading the way, and said, "Who is this Wu Feng?"
Ever since Zhang Yanhan revealed all the tactics of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was determined to join the Zhou Dynasty. He said in a flattering manner: "Wu Feng is the governor of the camp in Luzhou. It is said that his ancestors were from the Three Kingdoms period. Wu Guotai's natal family is not sure whether it is true or not."
Fake. A hundred years ago, their family had nothing to achieve in their official career, so they simply turned to business and made a lot of money. Wu Feng relied on the family's financial resources to marry the daughter of the Gu family, and gained the support of the Gu family. His status in the Southern Dynasties rose, and he was appointed as the governor of the Luzhou camp three years ago.
.It is said that Wu Feng was generous with his money and never shied away from or asked for repayment when he borrowed money. He had many friends and a high reputation."
Merchants have always been a lowly profession, but since the Anshi Rebellion, the number of merchants joining the officialdom has increased sharply. The children of merchants are no longer restricted from participating in the imperial examinations, and the normal channels for entering the officialdom have been opened.
The status of businessmen has also been improved and they are no longer excluded by class.
They waited for about half a stick of incense, and the Southern Tang Army appeared in front of them in disarray.
Wu Feng received Chen Chengzhao's request for help and immediately mobilized his troops to fight.
Wu Feng's initial goal was simple, to establish a good relationship. He knew that he was a businessman and had a weak foundation, so he made many friends and accepted all requests.
But on the way, they met Yu Chun's group. After killing them and capturing a few alive, they learned that an untouchable leader appeared out of nowhere and led a group of untouchables to rebel and killed Chen Chengzhao.
.
In an instant, Wu Feng realized that the opportunity had come.
The soldiers he has are local soldiers from Luzhou. They may not be considered elite, but they can still deal with a group of peasants.
Chen Chengzhao explained in the letter that this was military supplies shipped to Shouzhou.
This has brought back such important supplies for the imperial court, so why not worry about taking it one step further?
Wu Feng was worried in her heart. The other party could use boats, and she was afraid that Zhang Xiong would run away with a boatload of food and armaments, so she started to march in a hurry. She regretted it in her heart. Why didn't she spend more money to get herself a cavalry squad?
If we really had a hundred cavalry squads, they would come in handy right now.
I could only endure my impulse and send two cavalry to investigate the information first.
After a while, news came from the two cavalrymen that Zhang Xiong's rebels had not left, but were unloading the grain in the river from the boats to the shore.
Wu Feng served as the governor of the camp in Luzhou for three years. He was very familiar with the nearby terrain and instantly understood the other party's intention: the upper reaches of the Dongfei River is Shouzhou and the lower reaches are Lu'an. There is no way to go. The remaining small tributaries and transport ships
Or because the hull is too large or the draft is too heavy, it cannot pass.
The target of driving a transport ship is too big, and it is not easy to hide on the water. The other party wants to transport food to the mountains and occupy the mountains to become king.
Wu Feng continued to supervise the march. He did not know that Yu Chun had the courage to go back to report after running away, and wanted to kill Zhang Xiong by surprise.
After walking another mile, Wu Feng saw from a distance the transport ships lined up neatly on the Dongfei River. There were black shadows flashing on the river bank. The distance was too far to see the details clearly, but it was just like the news that had been sent before.
, the other party was still unloading food and did not realize the crisis was coming.
In an instant, Wu Feng's energy and blood surged up, and he shouted loudly: "Kill them! Kill them all!"
He actually took the lead and started galloping forward with more than twenty riders behind him.
These more than twenty horses belong to his private army. He bought the horses with his own money. The knights were also hired at high prices. They are all heroes in the world.
After running for a hundred steps, Wu Feng's expression that was red with excitement suddenly turned pale.
At the end of the target's sight, he saw cavalrymen leaping out from the bend of the river ahead.
Look at the number of people, no less than a thousand.
"Run! Get in the water, get in the water!"
Wu Feng screamed in fear, pulled the reins directly, and circled diagonally.
Infantry is at a disadvantage against cavalry, and the only way to win is to form an infantry formation and resist their impact with flesh and blood.
In their current state, they were stretched like a long snake formation. They could not withstand the frontal assault of the cavalry.
The Luzhou soldiers at the front also saw something strange and turned around and ran away. The soldiers behind did not know the situation in front, so they crowded into each other and bumped into each other.
A mess.
A few alertly heard the cry of "get into the water" and already ran into the Dongfei River.
Use the river water to resist the cavalry.
Shi Shouxin waved his sword and led a thousand cavalry to face the unresponsive Luzhou soldiers and kill them.
Under this situation, with his bravery, he killed one of the Luzhou soldiers before even using his strength.
Seeing that Wu Feng actually abandoned his troops and ran away, he smiled ferociously, ignored the surrounding soldiers, and pursued Wu Feng.
Luo Youdu looked at the battlefield situation from a distance. This one-sided battle situation did not require command at all. When he saw Shi Shouxin killing Wu Feng, an idea flashed in his mind, and an idea came to him in vain. He immediately said: "Guohua, hurry up and catch up with Shi
The capital school asked him to divide the soldiers into two groups, with more than a hundred cavalry in the front, biting Wu Feng, but absolutely unable to catch up, and the other 900 cavalry to take a roundabout way. Tell the school of Shidu, if Wu Feng wants to escape into the hut
Prefecture, let him take advantage of the situation to rush into the city together and control the city gate. We will take Luzhou together along the way..."
Cao Bin's eyes lit up and he immediately spurred his horse away, chasing after Shi Shouxin.
