Liu Yefei originally had a guilty conscience, but when he heard that the front cavalry had arrived at the gate of Daoyu Village, Hu Yuer had not yet opened the south gate to greet him, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
Although there is a powerful enemy at hand, the gates of the city must be guarded tightly, and people must not be careless when entering or exiting the city at night, but there is no reason why he came in person and refused to stay outside the city gate——
"I'm afraid Hu Yu'er got drunk with the special envoy," Liu Zhiyong consoled him. "Without Hu Yu'er's nod, how could the primary school dare to open the city gate casually at night? When my uncle arrived at the city gate, the guards would naturally open the city gate to ask for help.
welcome."
"In case..." Liu Yefei said worriedly, "Since Hu Yu'er doesn't welcome us, let's go back to Dengzhou City."
"There is no such thing as an emergency. Uncle, please don't scare yourself," Liu Zhiyong said decisively. "My uncle is not only informed of Dengzhou Prefecture affairs but also supervises Dengzhou Town. How can he allow his subordinates to stay outside the city? Hu Yu'er has no way of knowing.
What news? If uncle turns back for no reason, it will arouse Hu Yuer's suspicion."
Daoyu Village is built at the northern foot of Danya Mountain. Liu Yefei and the others are blocked by Danya Mountain. Standing here, they can see the south tower of Daoyu Village, but they cannot see the situation on the sea to the east.
Liu Yefei thought about it, and when he contacted Chen Zhihu, it was his nephew who came forward in person, so there was no possibility of leaking the news. Besides, even the ducks would have to fight with each other. Liu Yefei called his adopted son Liu Fang and gave instructions.
He said: "You packed up the team. It's as messy as jumping. What's it like?" Then he and Liu Zhiyong went ahead with dozens of guards, and asked Liu Fang to follow from behind with a large force.
Liu Yefei and Liu Zhiyong rushed to the gate of Daoyu Village, while Hu Yuer and Chen Enze rushed to the south gate tower.
Liu Yefei, who was wearing an imperial purple official uniform, rushed to the city first surrounded by dozens of soldiers. He was fat and easy to recognize. When he saw that the soldiers brought by Liu Yefei were lagging behind, there were still some gaps between them.
After a long distance, Hu Yu'er hesitated again, thinking: With Liu Yefei's temperament, if he really surrendered to Yanhu and came to earn money from Daoyu Village, how could he dare to run ahead in person?
Chen Enze is not afraid of misunderstanding Liu Yefei. Even if he misunderstands him, can he still eat Huaidong?
While Hu Yu'er was hesitating, Liu Zhiyong drove his horse to the downstairs of the city gate, raised his head and shouted: "Hu Yu'er, you have eaten the courage of a leopard. The prefect is right below the city. How dare you be so negligent and deceive the prefect into not taking away your water?"
The teacher’s thorn in the side?”
Hu Yu'er decided to follow what Chen Enze taught him, and raised her voice and said: "Master Liu, Hu Yu'er dared not neglect the Lord Fu even though he had taken the courage of a leopard. It happened to be a coincidence that reinforcements from Huaidong were coming tonight, but Hu Yu'er didn't.
After informing the governor, he first released the Huaidong Army into Daoyu Village. Hu Yuer was delayed for some time at the water gate in the north. Didn't he come to the south gate to greet the governor and Mr. Liu as soon as he knew that the prefect had arrived overnight?
?Master Liu, please wait for a moment, sir, and I will order the suspension bridge to be lowered..."
Hu Yuer also has a loud voice. In the dead of night, his voice can be heard dozens of feet away.
Before Hu Yuer finished her words, she saw Liu Yefei, who was a hundred steps away from the city gate, riding back...
When Liu Zhiyong saw that his uncle was so useless, he hurriedly rode his horse to chase him. He shouted in a panic: "Uncle, we are in a mess! We are in a mess! It's the Huaidong reinforcements, it's the Huaidong reinforcements..."
When Hu Yuer saw Liu Yefei letting the Huaidong reinforcements enter Daoyu Village without questioning him, he actually turned around and ran away like a cat. What else doesn't he understand?
The surrounding guards around Hu Yu'er also understood, but the news was somewhat difficult for them to digest. They were not prepared for a moment. They watched Liu Yefei's uncle and nephew and dozens of guards flee on horseback, and had no intention of sending troops out of the city.
Chase……
Gao Zongting entered Daoyu Village and was led to the south city gate tower. He saw Liu Yefei leading more than a thousand infantry to flee south in panic.
"Mr. Gao..." Hu Yuer didn't know what to say for a moment. He was also a little confused at this time - Liu Yefei was the chief official of Dengzhou. The chief secretly surrendered to the enemy and colluded with Yan Hu. He was only a subordinate of Dengzhou Town.
A general who led troops was supposed to resolutely draw a clear line with Liu Yefei, but he didn't know what to do next.
Chen Enze quickly detailed what happened at the top of the city to Gao Zongting. In front of Hu Yuer, some words were not said out loud - there was a chance to capture Liu Yefei alive, but in this situation, Hu Yuer cannot be blamed for not being decisive.
, missed the chance to capture Liu Yefei alive.
Hu Yuer said bravely: "Liu Yefei rebelled and surrendered to the Hulu. Please allow Mr. Gao to allow me to lead my troops to chase him out and capture him alive..."
"There are other soldiers and horses in Huaidong landing near Dengzhou City, waiting for them to escape," Gao Zongting said. "General Hu quickly sent a post to report to Pingdu, Laiyang, Laizhou, and Haiyang counties to inform Liu Yefei of betraying the enemy.
As for the invasion of the Japanese soldiers, the counties must strictly guard the city and not allow Liu Yefei to take advantage of the opportunity to gain the city... and the post cavalry must be careful not to run into the cavalry sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou."
Hu Yuer was determined to atone for his mistakes and hurriedly ordered everyone to do as Gao Zongting said, but he didn't know what the effect would be?
They saw with their own eyes that Liu Yefei turned around and fled when Huaidong reinforcements entered Daoyu Village, so they were convinced that Liu Yefei had surrendered to the enemy. However, Laiyang, Haiyang, Laizhou and other cities may not believe their words and drove Liu Yefei over to open the city.
It is more likely to welcome Liu Yefei into the city. At this time, Liu Yefei is even more expected to escape to Dengzhou City and ambush the Huaidong reinforcements that have landed near Dengzhou City.
After a while, Ge Changgen led more than 200 soldiers to disembark and land ashore. Gao Zongting found Hu Yuer and asked: "Is there a guide in Daoyu Village who is familiar with Buling Mountain Road..."
"There are people. Many of the navy's generals are children of farmers in the Buling area and are very familiar with the mountain roads..."
"That's good," Gao Zongting said, "please ask General Hu to send some men to assist Captain Ge and his troops to cross Buling overnight. It is best to reach Qijia at the southern foot of Buling before dawn..."
"Ah!" Hu Yu'er was suddenly startled. Looking at the Huaidong generals who came ashore with Ge Changgen, there were only more than 200 soldiers, and said, "If we want to ambush the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu in Qijia, Captain Ge's manpower is a little short.
?”
Qijia is a town east of Dengzhou. It is the only way to enter Dengzhou from the southern foot of Buling. To ambush the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou, Qijia is undoubtedly the most suitable place.
The Huaidong Army has always been brave and strong in fighting. Of course Hu Yu'er knew that, but those sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou were not weaklings.
The most important thing is that the military strength of the two sides is very different.
The Huaidong Army used to stage an ambush and only had two hundred soldiers at present, all of whom were infantry. They had to climb over Buling Mountain overnight, fearing that they would have to take off all their armor. The Pian Division sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou said that there were two
Thousands of cavalry.
Counting the time, the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu should pass through Qijia before noon tomorrow - to ambush the powerful enemy with a very small number of troops. Only by taking advantage of extreme weather such as darkness, heavy rain, and heavy fog can success be possible.
Seeing that Hu Yu'er had a misunderstanding, Gao Zongting explained: "This time, there are six battalions of infantrymen who landed from Dengzhou City. We thought we could prevent Liu Yefei from entering Daoyu Village, but Liu Yefei led his troops to flee south. First, they might fall into our
In the ambush circle set up in the north of Dengzhou City, there may be a broken army bypassing Dengzhou City and escaping directly to the west. Lieutenant Ge Xiaowei led his troops to cross the Buling Ridge to prevent the broken army from leaking through Qijia.
Let the partial divisions sent by Chen Zhihu be alert in advance. The ones who actually went to Qijia to ambush Chen Zhihu's partial divisions were the troops from Dengzhou City to Dengzhou..."
"Oh, so that's it!" Hu Yu'er suddenly realized that even so, using six battalions of infantry to intercept two thousand cavalry in the wild, he still felt that the Huaidong Army really dared to fight. He thought that if Liu Yefei became alert, he would not have the guts to return.
Prefecture, fleeing westward must pass through Qijia. At this time, he sent soldiers to cross Buling, and he happened to be in front of Liu Yefei to stop them.
Hu Yuer summoned his general Zhao Huaishan and told him: "Bring the men who are familiar with Buling and Qijia, and accompany Ge Changgen to intercept the defeated troops first..."
**********
Liu Yefei wanted to escape back to Dengzhou City. In his panic, he never thought about the possibility of an ambush by the Huaidong reinforcements in Dengzhou. At least at this time, there was indeed no abnormal phenomenon exposed in the direction of Dengzhou City.
Liu Zhiyong was full of resentment, and the Huaidong reinforcements came as soon as they arrived. The situation in Dengzhou was so tense that it was not impossible that a part of the Huaidong Army was deployed on Jinwei Island and came to support Daoyu Village.
If Liu Yefei hadn't turned around and fled, exposing his whereabouts, could it be that the Huaidong reinforcements could have eaten them?
Even then, Liu Zhiyong still didn't believe that their whereabouts had been exposed.
Liu Yefei was surrounded by people, barely able to fall off his horse. Seeing his nephew's face full of resentment, he knew that he was dissatisfied with him and said: "Be careful when sailing the Wannian Ship. The Huaidong Army entered the Daoyu Village without saying a word.
, how could there not be any reason? I have been an official for all these years, and I have no other skills. I can always detect any trouble in advance. It doesn't matter if the Swordfish Village cannot be taken, as long as Dengzhou City is still in our hands, you and I will vote for each other.
Yan, wealth is indispensable, and you can't be too greedy."
Liu Yefei only told the generals below that Hu Yuer had set a trap to kill them. The generals did not know the whole story and only followed Liu Yefei to Dengzhou City.
Marching at night is an extremely difficult task. Any army in the world that can march at night and keep its ranks intact can be called a first-rate elite.
The more than a thousand infantry that Liu Yefei had pulled out from Dengzhou City rushed to Daoyu Village after dark and scattered in an awkward manner. Now he turned back and walked back. Liu Yefei was like a rabbit being chased by a dog, like a bereaved dog.
, just wanted to escape back to Dengzhou City quickly, and had no intention of cleaning up the team. More than a thousand people formed a chaotic mess, which was no different from a broken army.
They collapsed before any fighting. It is inevitable that Gao Zongting did not bother to send troops to pursue them, but mainly prevented them from escaping to the west, so that Chen Zhihu's partial division who was running towards Dengzhou could be alert in advance.
Liu Yefei was afraid that there would be pursuers from Daoyu Village, so he did not dare to delay on the road, and he had no intention of cleaning up these rebels. He took more than a hundred horsemen, and Liu Zhiyong passed through the rebels and rushed to Dengzhou City first to let his adopted son Liu Fang
Slowly clean up from behind.
When we arrived at the western foot of Jigong Mountain in the north of Dengzhou City, Liu Yefei fell off his horse twice. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and half of his teeth were knocked out. He could vaguely see the dark shadow of the North Tower of Dengzhou under the hook like a jade moon.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing the sound of "swish, swish" unexpectedly, Liu Yefei thought it was the wind blowing through the woods, and when a sharp arrow pierced his side, he lost his balance and fell off the horse.
The sound of "swish, swish, swish" is the sound of bow strings swinging, and arrows shooting through the air...
