Chapter 124: Husband and Wife Meet
Shen Zhong repeated the things that happened today to Li Xiaoyu, Shen Zhong finished speaking, Li Xiaoyu had a new understanding of that Li Ge, in fact, Shen Zhong and Di Zifu's current situation is not just a few defeats, Shen Zhong and they were actually forced by Li Ge step by step, and they were defeated one after another, except for the beginning of the siege of the city, which scared the Longxi soldiers in Taiyuan City, there was nothing outstanding anymore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shen Zhong with a large army, at the beginning of the Taiyuan city to rely on the strong people and horses, Taiyuan City took a strong attack, continuous assault for 13 days, heavy casualties, Taiyuan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Shen Zhong's army killed more than 5,000 people, and on the other hand, Li Ge held the city, the casualties were naturally much less.
On the fifteenth, Shen Zhong began to withdraw his troops, the imperial army with heavy casualties, the military heart was already exhausted, and the imperial army in urgent need of repair had a rare opportunity to rest and reorganize, and naturally a little slack at night, Di Zifu suggested that Shen Zhong gradually withdraw his troops in case he was taken advantage of by the Longxi army to sneak attack.
They didn't expect that Li Ge seemed to have known that they were going to withdraw their troops in batches, the first few groups of troops had just withdrawn, and the last group of troops was stopped by the Longxi soldiers, so the last group of about 3,000 soldiers faced the Longxi soldiers who poured out of the city, and there was no backhand, and there were less than 500 people who escaped the pursuit of the Longxi army.
After this battle, five days later, Li Ge brought people to give them a night attack, just in time for Di Zifu to take people to explore the situation near Taiyuan City.
Of course, what made Shen Zhong and Di Zifu most helpless was the plunder and harassment from the Dayue clan's scattered cavalry, the army transporting grain and grass, as soon as it appeared, it would be harassed by the Dayue clan's cavalry, and the last time the grain and grass were burned was made by the Dayue tribe's scattered cavalry.
"Needless to say, there must be spies in our army, otherwise how could Li Ge get the news so quickly?" Li Xiaoyu got off his horse and slowly walked towards the camp.
"Although I know that there are spies in the army, but now looking for spies in the army may be a bigger blow to morale." Follow Li Xiaoyu into the camp.
Di Zifu was setting up the sand table in the camp at this time, and he didn't realize that Li Xiaoyu walked in, just lowered his head and looked at the sand table to meditate. Looking at Di Zifu, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh for a while, she really didn't recognize it at a glance just now, it was only a month, Di Zifu's face was tanned, his hair was oily, and his bloodshot eyes highlighted his tiredness and helplessness. The armor on his back was tattered, and it was clear that it was full of traces left by arrows. Originally, the armor on Di Zifu's body had more than seventy pieces of armor, but now it was scattered on his back, so it looked tattered.
"Brother Di, why did you lose weight like this?"
"Huh?" Di Zifu raised his head slightly, saw Li Xiaoyu, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Miss, why are you here?" ”
"I'm coming to see you."
Li Xiaoyu was very puzzled, the entire Taiyuan City has been closed for a long time, and it is difficult to contact the outside world, and there are no mobile phones in this era, how do the spies in the army transmit information?
"Brother Di, have you found the spy in the army? Or do you have a clue? ”
Di Zifu opened the drawer and pinched a dead pigeon and placed it on the table, "The spy relied on the carrier pigeon to deliver the news to the city, and the spy should have been mixed with the last batch of five hundred people who came back." ”
"It's impossible to keep a pigeon in the barracks without being discovered?" Li Xiaoyu was puzzled, and Shen Zhong's index finger tapped lightly on the table, "We checked, no one knows whose it is, this carrier pigeon seems to have appeared out of thin air." ”
"Pigeons out of thin air?" The way for the spies to report the news has been determined, but the spies in the army have not been found out, and if they start a war, they are afraid that they will definitely lose the war.
Li Xiaoyu was still talking, but there was a commotion outside.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoyu wondered.
"Lord Wang, general, it's not good, the Dayue clan's scattered cavalry has come to loot again, and General Yin is now leading the army to resist!"
"Go quickly, I brought less than five hundred people, how many people are there in the Dayue Clan!"
"There are not many people in the Dayue Clan, but their group is difficult to deal with, those light cavalry, the speed is too fast, and we can't catch up at all if they run away after the fight." Shen Zhong and Di Zifu went out of the camp together, followed by nearly 100 horsemen with a road of sand and dust, running to the plain outside Hangweng Mountain, and you could see the Dayue clan's scattered cavalry from a distance, riding a horse and shooting arrows, and although Yin Ji is strong in martial arts, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you can't do it in front of this group of Dayue clan's scattered cavalry.
The riders of the Otsuki clan saw King Ande coming with a group of cavalry, and immediately stopped their horses, turned their horses' heads and fled in all directions. "What a cunning fellow!" Seeing the riders who were far away, Shen Zhong gritted his teeth and said.
"These guys are really difficult, you guys are fighting with Li Ge on the front line, and you have to guard against these people behind your back, how do you fight this battle?" Yin Ji didn't seem to be optimistic about Shen Zhong's battle.
Di Zifu wiped his face, "Li Ge is really a general, he is guarding the city like this, we really can't beat it for a while, so it will be difficult to do." ”
"Brother Di, did you write Li Ge's weakness on the piece of paper you gave to the prince last time?"
"Li Ge is too young, and there is really nothing recorded in those materials."
"Oh? Is there any breakthrough in other places? ”
"At present, I only know some information from those prisoners of war, and I know that there is a shortage of food in Taiyuan City now, and those landlords and lords have hoarded a large amount of grain and are selling it to the citizens in the city at a high price.
"Hahaha~ It seems that this battle will be won!" At this time, the rich businessmen and giants in Taiyuan City still wanted to make war money, and the people's hearts were not hugged, so why did they win?
Shen Zhong looked at Li Xiaoyu and said casually, "Do you have any plans for the enemy?"
"Hmph, I think that although Li Ge is a god with soldiers, he is also an indecisive person, if I were him, anyone who dares to sell food at a high price in the city, I will fly to behead them and show them to the public, the people can't eat enough, these bastards are still worried about making war money, and they really don't want to die." Li Xiaoyu was very domineering when he said this, and Shen Zhong couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard it.
"Do you have to do something with military rations?"
"Yes, let's send some food to the people in the city!"
"What? But our food is so tight, and we have to send it to Taiyuan City to fund the enemy? Shen Zhong asked suspiciously.
"Is this to buy people's hearts? Do you think the people in Taiyuan City will be grateful to us? Xiaoyu, you are too naïve. Li Xiaoyu has always hated Shen Zhong's self-righteousness, and before he finished speaking, he interrupted himself, and he really didn't know when he would be able to change.
