Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Bloody Battle of Anqing (1)

"Young marshal, do you still want to pursue?" asked the big tiger who had risen to the kill, jumped off his horse and pointed in the direction of the rogue's escape. "Words * love * first * hair

"Stop the pursuit. Order all troops to hurry up and clean up the battlefield and seize the time to rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will return to Anqing to help!" Wang Feng knew that the soldiers who had just experienced a vicious battle now urgently needed to rest. In addition, the rain is getting heavier, and even if he rushes back to Anqing now, the army does not have much combat power, so Wang Feng simply stationed directly to rest for one night.

Another important reason why Wang Feng was relieved to return to Anqing the next day was his confidence in Da Niu. The reason why he didn't hand over the steady Li Chengdong or the clever Wang Liu to Anqing was because Wang Feng saw the hot temper of the big cow.

Wang Feng could even be sure that the first thing Da Niu did when he returned to Anqing was definitely not to enter the city obediently, according to his temper, he would definitely have a big battle with Liukou first. What Wang Feng needs is this kind of courage from Da Niu. As a modern person, Wang Feng has always felt that the reason why well-equipped officials and soldiers could not defeat a group of armed peasants was precisely this kind of courage that was lacking. Wang Feng wanted to use the big battles again and again to tell all the soldiers of Anqing Town, no matter whether they were inferior in number or not, they must always maintain the belief of attacking.

This is also the first time that Da Niu has gone out alone, although he is full of confidence in Da Niu. But for the sake of safety, Wang Feng still sent Bai Wenxuan

Outside Anqing Mansion, the 30,000 army led by Ma Shouying conquered Zhaozhuang and marched towards Anqing non-stop.

As for Sun Kewang's intentions, he Ma Shouying was also clear in his heart. However, the reason why he was still willing to lead the army to attack Anqing Mansion was that he was really worried about the grain in the Anqing Mansion treasury, and secondly, the expedition to Anqing was also an opportunity for him to eliminate dissidents. Although in the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, he had forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses. But they have always been subject to He Yilong and them. Now this solo leader is an opportunity to create his own army. So although the number of people is a little smaller, these are their own elite backbones. As long as they are plus the Anqing Mansion, Ma Shouying believes that it will not be a problem to pull another team of 200,000.

"My lord, look at the rogue. It's Liukou!" When it was news that Liukou was going to attack Anqing, Wang Feng sent someone to inform Song Qiaoren very early. Song Qiaoren, who is used to staying in the capital, has never seen any rogues, and he is only a civil official. Therefore, as soon as he received Wang Feng's paperwork, he hurriedly urged the defenders to go to the city to defend.

Since the town of Anqing can almost be said to have poured out, there are not many defenders in the city. After catching up with all the officials of the government and the government on the city wall, Song Qiaoren, who still felt that the garrison was insufficient, also mobilized the families of the big families in the city. These people are also deeply afraid of the rogue, and they don't want to cheapen the money they have worked so hard to save all their lives. Therefore, as soon as Song Renqiao mobilized, these big households responded positively. Just like that, three or four thousand people were mobilized to defend the city.

Seeing that there were three or four thousand men guarding the city, Song Qiaoren's heart settled down slightly, but he clearly understood in his heart that it was no problem to rely on these improvised patchwork troops to defend for a few days, but if he was besieged for a long time, relying on these people would sooner or later be in danger of being breached. Now Song Qiaoren only hopes that Wang Feng's general army can hurry back to Anqing.

"Hurry up, quickly bring up the rolling stones, and the oil will burn the hot spot for me, and wait for them to come up and greet them well!" Song Qiaoren patrolled around the city wall uneasily. He didn't want to be a prisoner of the rogue.

The 30,000 army led by Ma Shouying marched to Anqing Mansion. Looking back from the front, the army of 30,000 is far from the eye.

Ma Shouying, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help frowning when he looked at Anqing City, which was high and thick. Such a wall is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw for the rebels who lack siege equipment. Coupled with the moat in front of the city, the difficulty has to be increased by another level.

"The whole army retreated twenty miles and set up camp. Ma Shouying waved his hand, and the neatly arranged rebels immediately changed from the back to the front and drove backwards.

"Retreat, the rogues retreat!" Seeing the rogues retreating, the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall couldn't help but shout loudly. They thought that there would be a bloody battle soon, but they didn't expect this rogue to retreat quietly like this.

Compared with the excitement of the officers and soldiers, Song Qiaoren breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he would not be naïve to think that the Liukou retreated because he was afraid of the high walls and thick walls of Anqing City. He knew the reason why the Rogues were retreating now was simply because they hadn't prepared the siege equipment, and once they were ready!

"Don't let up, everyone, stay vigilant, stay vigilant!" for fear that everyone would slack off because of the retreat of the rogue. Song Qiaoren began to run on the city wall again, and shouted urgently.

Ma Shou, who retreated to twenty miles and set up camp, should arrange a special person to be responsible for guarding on one side, and patrol around himself on the other side. As a veteran in the army, he doesn't want to be attacked!

Ma Rusong had just come back from cutting down trees to make siege equipment, and happened to meet Ma Shouying, "Father!" Ma Rusong hurriedly saluted.

"What's the matter, Song'er, how many ladders and battering rams have been made!" Ma Shouying looked at this son who followed him to the east and west, in fact, he still owed a lot of money to this son, but his own son could only accept such a fate.

"Back to my father, now my son is urging to step up the construction. At present, only five ladders have been completed, and the construction of the battering ram is still being intensified. Ma Rusong actually wants to hurry up, but after all, they are all farmers, and there are only a few people who can make ladders and battering rams, so even if they want to, they can't be fast.

"Five!" Although he knew that the production of this siege equipment would be very slow, this speed still surprised Ma Shouying. Ma Shouying held back his temper, he knew that if he dragged on under Anqing City for one more minute now, then he would be in more danger. So no matter what, we must attack Anqing tomorrow. "Song'er, no matter what, we must build seventy ladders and a siege hammer car before tomorrow, otherwise military law will be involved!" Ma Shouying patted his son on the shoulder, that sentence of military law is engaged, Ma Shouying is not joking! Even his own son, if he violates military law, he cannot be spared.

"Yes, father!" Ma Rusong arched his hand, he had a sentence that he had always wanted to say, but he didn't know whether to ask or not.

"Does Song'er have anything to tell me?" As a father, Ma Shouying saw the doubts in Ma Rusong's heart at a glance. "Let's go over there!" Ma Shouying waved his hand to signal his guards to stand aside, perhaps he also didn't want others to clean up the conversation between the two fathers and sons.

Walking behind his father for a long time, Ma Rusong finally asked, "Father, I hope I said that you don't be surprised! I don't think it's necessary to attack Anqing Mansion." When Ma Rusong saw the tall walls of Anqing City, he knew that countless people would spill their blood here tomorrow. He really didn't want to see such a picture.

Ma Shouying didn't say anything, just patted his son. He is still too merciful! It is difficult to live in this troubled world! In troubled times, only power is king. Looking at his son, Ma Shouying said for a long time, "Son, in troubled times, only soldiers and wealth are the guarantee of your survival, remember that if you don't want to die, then others must die!"
