"A bunch of waste!" A dull voice suddenly sounded in the camp that was temporarily tied up. Lin Zongyu walked into the camp with a worried face. He saw Wu Meng's face pale and his eyes were red. He stared at the spread map from time to time in his mouth.
A few rude words appeared.
Seeing Wu Meng's appearance, the captain of the guard Lin Zongyu shook his head sadly and chased him for a day and a half, but the privately sent horses to find the traces of the mansion army. What is even more infuriating is that except for the neighboring dozens of miles west of Siyang City.
The villages and towns can still find out that thousands of troops roared past and then went north, and there would be no news of the army crossing the border. In other words, after the thousands of troops went west forty or fifty miles, they disappeared out of thin air.
Not found.
"Zong Yu, how about it? Is there any news about the enemy?" Wu Meng asked in a deep voice when he saw Lin Zongyu entering the tent of the commander.
Lin Zongyu shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes showing concern, and advised: "Sir, you should rest more, don't worry too much, find out the news, and you will be able to find out the horse. Sir, you haven't had a good rest since last night."
Wu Meng waved his hand, a hint of solemn appeared on his slightly pale face, and said in a deep voice: "Rest? Thousands of troops are looting the food, supplies and weapons we transported, and they have disappeared silently until now. You let me
How can I rest?"
Wu Meng's worried eyes fell on the map, his fingers streaked across the surrounding counties, and said softly: "Siyang City has been lost. Although it has been taken back by us, the lost things have hurt us and have even changed.
You should know the seriousness of the consequences. If you let him rage with the other counties, you still don’t know what will happen. At that time, let alone the army heading south, even Liangzhou Prefecture will cause chaos. Liangzhou Prefecture
We captured it, but it is more important than the Shanyang Prefecture, which is still expected. In addition, why is the army like Yanzhou Prefecture? I believe you know it. If something really happens, then it will be not only us who will be unlucky.
Even the Right General, I'm afraid it's…"
Although he didn't say anything, Lin Zongyu also knew what Wumeng meant. The army went south, defeated Liangzhou Prefecture, Shanyang Prefecture, entered Yanzhou Prefecture, and joined forces with Xu Jie, Xuzhou Army to expel the Wuwei Army and Yanzhou, and cooperated with the three parties to fight against the surrounding areas.
All the princes. But now, seeing victory is right in front of you, Shanyang Prefecture has the first problem, and the people arranged by Xu Jie were replaced by the chief minister under his command. The Tang army was also blocked from the land of Bianping.
Now, the Tang army's logistics have also been looted, and even the rear may be unstable.
"It's so fucking hell. Four or five thousand people have no trace. Do you think these people can fly? Even if they can fly, they have to leave a trace. Until now, there is nothing.
”
After hesitating for a while, Lin Zongyu said in a deep voice: "Sir, is this the case? As we investigated, thousands of troops roared by from all sides, but for the people of these villages and towns, they naturally did not dare to look at it.
At night, you can only hear some sounds and blurry images."
"You mean, these so-called army are all fake, no, there should be a whole way of being real, and the rest are... no, it should be those who get food and weapons from the Shanyang Prefecture Army.
Bandits, plus the armor and equipment on the four thousand soldiers, the materials transported this time were enough to equip more than 10,000 people. If this group of government troops was not useful, then they would fall into the hands of bandits. And bandits inherited their feelings,
I just helped me at night. However, there were absolutely not so many bandits in thousands of people."
Lin Zongyu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, don't forget that there are more than tens of thousands of people leaving the city, and they also follow the bandits. It's no problem to organize thousands of people. In addition, if you move at night, more than a thousand people can do it.
Let’s take four or five thousand postures.”
"Damn it! In this way, they didn't come west at all, but took a detour to other places. The situation was a little bad. Where did we issue military orders to send troops to help?" Wu Meng's face suddenly became even more
gloomy.
"Sir, in addition to the counties guarding the city, small towns and towns in various places have issued military orders to send local townships to help them." Lin Zongyu responded in a deep voice.
Wu Meng said with hatred: "This kind of pursuit is really not a solution. I will send orders to all places that I will bite me whenever I find the traces of the prefecture army. At the same time, I will ask the counties to recruit young and strong men and increase the amount of the new affiliated army.
We need to find a way to trap these thousands of people first and then talk about elimination.”
Suicheng, located 120 miles north of Siyang City, is a small city between Linyi and Siyang City, and belongs to the southernmost area of Linyi County.
Since the city of Siyang was broken, Suicheng was second only to Wumeng and received news. Then Wumeng sent a military order to collect people here and join Wumeng to join the place of Pingshan Town in the southwest.
The commander of the city commander ordered a team of thousands of people and then headed southwest. The Wumeng military order was very clear that the enemy army was heading west and asked its army to go and join forces to encircle and suppress it.
To the south of the city, more than ten miles away, and in the dense forest, Zhao Xun and two thousand subordinates gathered here.
"General, I have found out clearly. There are 1,500 soldiers in Suicheng. He was ordered to recruit thousands of people. This time, he left the city and was ready to encircle and suppress our army to the southwest." Guan Lin said in a deep voice.
"It's a pity that they didn't know that we didn't go east and west, but went around in a circle and headed north."
Although the army went north, it only traveled over a hundred miles, but it took one and a half days. It was not that it could not speed up, but that it was not that the army was exposed. For this reason, during the week, the army was broken into pieces and scattered.
Then, go ahead and look for a small path, and walk at night.
"How are Lu Yu and the others ready?" Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.
"It has been arranged and Li Guochang has already sneaked into the city. While our army attacks, they will respond as well." Guan Lin said excitedly.
Zhao Xun originally planned to advance eastward, but the army of thousands of people naturally became unaware of it. Therefore, he gave up his original idea of advancing eastward directly, and prepared to support the troops around him, mobilized by the Tang army general, to eliminate the living forces.
, not only can the enemy's pace disrupt the enemy's pace, but also can make the Tang army rule unstable above the local area. This Sui County is the first goal. The north of Sui County is Linyi, which is the important logistics area of the Tang army.
You must not be negligent. As long as you move in Sui County, the Tang army will follow you.
Sui County is a small city, but there are also 1,500 defenders, and they need land everywhere, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it were on weekdays, Zhao Xun would never let his five thousand people be here with
The enemy fought to the death. But now, although there are still 1,500 people in the city, half of them are young and strong and have no combat power.
Seeing his subordinates moving forward rapidly, Sui County Captain Xu Yi looked worried, no one expected that the situation suddenly changed. Thousands of Shanyang Prefecture troops would appear in Liangzhou Prefecture, and even seized a city.
The food, supplies and weapons transported to the army. Think about the soldiers who escaped from Siyang City, you can know that the other party's general is definitely not an easy person to deal with. The people of Liangzhou Prefecture in the city heard the prefecture of the prefecture return.
At that time, the expression of the news was deep, and he couldn't help but feel heavy.
It was not that the people of Liangzhou Prefecture liked the original government army, but after the Tang army and the government army fought against each other, the army was unable to support the plan. As a result, young and strong people from all over the country were sent to the front line to fight, which made the people in all over the country extremely dissatisfied.
In addition, after the war, there was no stable governance, but the war continued. The people were recruited from time to time, causing the people to lose all their favors for the reduction and exemption of taxes after the arrival of the Tang army. Not to mention, the Tang army died at the hands of the Tang army soldiers because of the invasion.
The families of soldiers from various governments are here.
There are also those big players, because after the Tang army captured Liangzhou Prefecture, they also implemented some policies of the Xiaoguo Army. These policies were profitable by the people, and those who suffered damage were these big players. Unlike the Xiaoguo Army, Xiaoguo
The army only changed after the local government was stabilized, and commercial tax was unified, so that these big players could make up for this. In addition, the post-war truce, tax reduction and exemption and the suspension of local people were implemented smoothly, which made the people support and merchants accept it.
, the big households also began to change their ideas until they slowly accepted it. In addition, due to the large-scale expansion of territory in the north and the migration of people, the upper limit of the sky in various places was also relaxed.
But Liangzhou Prefecture is different. It was originally implemented well, and at least most people still welcomed the Tang army. With the movement of Xiaoguo Army, the Tang army was unable to go south to support, and the Liangzhou Prefecture began to recruit a large number of young and strong men as new affiliations.
In addition, due to the war, many people became victims of disaster. At this time, the Tang army had no time to appease, and coupled with the dissatisfaction of the large households, Liangzhou Prefecture had no beginning to stabilize. The broken city the day before yesterday,
It was just that a hole was cracked on it.
"I hope to clear out this mansion army as soon as possible!" Xu Yi sighed dryly. He also knew that since the other party dared to take action, it was not that simple to destroy the other party in one go.
"call out……"
Before Xu Yi could finish sighing, a faint roar broke through the sky, swept through the sky from the woods on the right, and drew a dazzling track in the air because of the sunlight, and finally disappeared not far ahead of him.
Place.
"The whistle and sound arrow..." Seeing this, Xu Yi's face changed drastically.
"kill……"
"kill……"
In an instant, the fierce killing sounded from the east, south and west at the same time. Amid the deafening shouts, countless soldiers emerged from the dense forests on both sides and the curves in front of them like ants, shouting for killing.
The sound shook the whole world.
Seeing the opponent's about two or three thousand sudden enemy troops, wearing the garrison army, the new army's armor, and holding his own weapons, his face suddenly pale.
"Damn it, it's that mansion army! Didn't they say they are in the southwest? Why are they here!"
The subordinates around Xu Yi blocked the Liuya who was shooting, and said anxiously: "Sir, the enemy is powerful, so we might as well retreat!"
"No! The enemy is powerful and energetic, but our army has been running for more than tens of miles and suddenly attacked. If retreating in a hurry, it will definitely cause chaos in the entire army. Gather and retreat with cavalry, you will immediately
Send someone to send orders to the city and prepare for the response. At the same time, be careful of changes in the city." Xu Yi drew out his long sword and said sternly.
After saying that, he rode his horse forward a few steps, waved the long sword in his hand, and howled loudly: "Brothers, these are the people who have broken through Siyang City, robbed our military food, supplies, weapons, and equipment, and killed our soldiers.
But they are just remnants of the government army, and they just used tricks to open the city gate. Brothers, are we afraid? Kill me! Hold the formation, retreat slowly, and do not be confused! Let them see that there are only a thousand people, as usual
They can't defeat it by raiding!"
"kill……"
"kill……"
The soldiers of the Tang army, who were suddenly ambushed, then calmed down and waved their swords to meet them. In their opinion, the government troops were just vulnerable young and strong, which was not worthy of evidence. The fall of Siyang City was also the same.
It was just a trick, not a war.
Of course, Xu Yike didn't think so, otherwise he would not have asked his subordinates to return to the city to report and request a response.
…………
"Report... Report to the Lord, the lieutenant was attacked fifteen miles south of the city, and the enemy was attacking a part of Siyang City. The lieutenant was fighting with the enemy and led the enemy here. The lieutenant asked the lieutenant to attack the lieutenant.
Be prepared to support the Lord’s counterattack against the government army.” In the county government, Sui County Magistrate listened to the return of the horse in horror.
"Preparation! The person comes, and the three left-behind chiefs are ordered to prepare for battle. They will go to the city immediately and tell them that the Shanyang Prefecture Army is here!" The county magistrate panicked and then ordered in a deep voice.
.
"snort!"
Xu Yi groaned and quickly lifted his knife to repel the spearman opposite him. But the pain on his left shoulder and the warm feeling told him that he was already injured.
The enemy was stronger than he thought, but he retreated less than five miles, and the 1,000 people under his command were only half now. The other party left even fewer corpses.
"Get out..."
A rough and violent shout sounded in Xu Yi's ears, and he looked up in shock. After an enemy officer roared wildly, the muscles on his iron arms suddenly bulged, and the explosive power burst out from his body.
He actually grabbed the spear stabbed by his soldiers with one hand, raised the opponent high, and led a group of soldiers who were about to stop him, overwhelmed him. Xu Yi frowned because he was the one who could
There is no such a strong character.
Where did the prefecture army come from? It is many times stronger than what we encountered when we attacked Shanyang Prefecture.
"Puff..."
Just as Xu Yi sighed, the two personal guards riding horses in front of him were shot by a sudden archer. In an instant, blood flowed from his chest and then fell weakly in front of his horse.
Looking up, I saw a young officer pointing at the enemy camp in front of him, holding a long bow in his hand.
"call out……"
Another harsh whistling sound, a dark spot pointing towards you.
"Sir, be careful!" Just when Xu Yi was unable to react, the personal guards around him rushed out and overwhelmed himself under the horse.
"puff……"
Xu Yi, who was lying on the ground, had just come to his senses, but found that the two personal guards with leather armor behind him were penetrated by the arrow, their mouths opened and they fell down weakly.
Such a sharp arrow... Seeing the power of this arrow, Xu Yi looked sad and had no hope of returning to Suicheng. He even had great doubts about whether he could save his support.
.After all, according to the information, there were more than 5,000 troops in this government army. But why did they appear here from more than 200 to 300 miles away? This made him puzzled. Could it be that those who inquire about the news?
Is it a pig...
"call out……"
"It's coming again..." Xu Yi had only such a thought in his mind, and then he heard his subordinates' shouts, and then he felt his vision gradually blurring. Then, a heat flowed out of his neck.
"I was shot..." After Xu Yi left this idea, he completely fell into darkness.
"The enemy general is dead, kill me!" Zhao Xun raised his spear and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, the aura of the Tang soldiers who were still fighting on the battlefield fell, but the morale of the soldiers of Shanyang Prefecture did rise sharply and rushed towards the other side with a roar.
"We will be useful to capture a few soldiers!" Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice after seeing that the battlefield had basically become a foregone conclusion.
…………
"Report! The county magistrate, the lieutenant and the enemy are entangled with ten miles away from the city. The enemy is in great power. The lieutenant wants the lieutenant to send troops to support him!" The commander appeared again, and the soldiers in the city were also in harmony.
Go up the city and prepare for battle.
"Support...but... the lieutenant said that we should guard the city and support him to return to the city? Why did the military order suddenly change?" the county magistrate asked suspiciously.
The messenger's face turned red and he said anxiously: "The enemy army came out from all sides. Although our soldiers counterattacked fiercely, the enemy army was large, and the lieutenant was blocked from retreating! If the adults were unwilling to rescue, the subordinates would turn back and kill him.
!” As he said that, he stood up and prepared to leave, while the soldiers on the city wall also had strange faces.
"Wait..." The county magistrate looked a little embarrassed, and then ordered an officer beside him: "Chief Zuo Quququ, take your subordinates to support him immediately and bring the captain back."
"I will receive the order!" Zuo Ququ Chang said.
"Damn it, why do I feel something is wrong? Damn, the little soldier dares to talk to me like this." The county magistrate cursed in his heart.
