Chapter 1181: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (71) Unexpected

Hearing the shouting outside, several people in the room were all in one place, and their eyes involuntarily turned to Xu Yuan. txt novel download xu yuan was stunned, and then he laughed out loud, he was playing someone else's idea here, but unexpectedly, the opponent was already in front.

"Interesting, really interesting." Xu Yuan laughed.

However, Sun Xiang and Zhou Zilong didn't find it interesting at all, Sun Xiang said nervously: "Commander, is it that the enemy has heard the news of your arrival in Huining, so it is false to send troops to attack the place there, the real goal is in Huining, it is to disadvantage you!" ”

Zhou Zilong was also a little anxious when he heard this, if Li Mingjun really attacked in a big way, he might not be able to stop the thousands of people here, "Commander, you better leave Huining quickly, with us guarding here, Huining will never lose." ”

"Are you afraid that I'm here to attract Li Mingjun's army!" Xu Yuan smiled, "Don't worry, Li Mingjun is not an immortal, this time I came from Xiling City, there are only a handful of people who know, and they are all people I absolutely trust, Li Mingjun is not an immortal, can he be counted?" ”

"So, how can that be so coincidental?" Zhou Zilong said.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, "Zilong, you often deal with them, you should be very familiar with them, although I have a lot of intelligence sources, but after all, they are all from paper, what is the situation of the Xizhao army on the other side?" ”

"Just one word, poor!" Zhou Zilong spread his hands, "My scouts used to fight with them often, and the other party couldn't even prepare armor, anyway, every once in a while, I felt that their clothes were a little tattered, their faces were yellow and thin, as if they often couldn't eat, and they used to occasionally come out to fight with me a few times, but then they couldn't even see their shadows, and they couldn't come out of the camp." ”

Listening to Zhou Zilong's description, and then corroborating it with the various information he had obtained, Xu Yuan had a bottom in his heart, "I understand." This is probably the guy on the other side who is poor and crazy, so they came out to be a bandit who robbed the house, and their target was not me, but indeed the people of this village. Lord Sun. There are a few villages in that area, but I am afraid that they will suffer this time. ”

"There are eight villages, thousands of households!" Sun Xiang's face turned white, "Commander, General Zhou." This, this must be rescued immediately! ”

"Just a few villages to feed them? Xu Yuan shook his head: "Zilong, you have garrisons in Longqiaoji and Oak Bay, so there should also be a military depot there, right?" How many families are there in these two places? ”

"Longbridge Market and Oak Bay are two larger market towns, and they are important towns in Huining, do you mean that they will fight the idea of these two places?" Zhou Zilong asked rhetorically, "But the troops they can mobilize are insufficient, and the Guo Fu Department at the forefront of them is only more than 3,000 people." There is no information on the movement of other troops these days. ”

"I also quietly pulled Guli's two thousand cavalry over." Xu Yuan said expressionlessly. "Anyway, if it's me, since I want to make a vote, of course I have to make something big."

"If it is really as the commander expected, I am afraid that the reinforcements from the Long Bridge Collection will suffer as soon as they go out." Gu Li said suddenly, "The opponent pretended to attack these villages, luring the long bridge to gather troops and horses to rescue, but the enemy's main force was actually ambushed in the middle of the road, dealing a fatal blow to the reinforcements gathered by the long bridge, and then waved the army straight in and pounced on the long bridge set." Where the military depot was robbed, the merchants in the town, the people, the oil and water there must be much more than in the village. ”

Zhou Zilong's face turned from white to red. Then he turned from red to white, and suddenly turned around, and wanted to run out.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yuan shouted.

"I'm going to go to the rescue, if it's really as Commander Gu said, I'm afraid that my soldiers in the Long Bridge will be in danger, and Oak Bay is a little farther away. But there are also dangers. Zhou Zilong said.

"Now that the enemy situation is unknown, what are you panicking about? How many soldiers and horses did the enemy have, and did he have cavalry? If the enemy has a large number of cavalry, do you want to give the enemy a battle merit with the troops here in Huining? What do you do if your opponent's goal isn't just Nagahashi set, but you? If you fall into an ambush and bury the army, then Huining City will be really dangerous, once Li Mingjun knows that even you are trapped, he will definitely attack Huining. ”

"Why, am I just waiting here?" Zhou Zilong shouted a little out of shape.

"Of course it's not just waiting, you immediately assemble the team, slowly out of the camp, remember not to worry, you can't mess up the formation, slowly move forward, if the enemy is not numerous, just want to grab some supplies and food, then they will not come to Huining, but will retreat after they succeed, they run fast when they come, but when they go back, they bring so many things, do they still run fast? All you have to do is stick to them. Turning his head, he looked at Gu Li: "Commander Gu, it seems that your troops can't rest, and I'm going to trouble you." ”

Gu Li stood up and nodded, "Commander, if I am dispatched, I will no longer be able to hide my traces, and the plan you planned to launch a large-scale attack in the spring of tomorrow will not be able to be implemented." ”

Xu Yuan gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This is also a helpless thing, we can't let them snatch things and leave with a swagger, since they are here, don't leave, swallow these troops of his first." ”

"Okay, I'll lead the troops around to intercept their back roads and block them in Huining." Guli Dao.

"Let's act, I'm waiting for your news in Huining, Zilong, remember to plan slowly, even if the army of your Changqiao set is completely wiped out, as long as the enemy army that stays behind to attack, it will still be a victory, understand?"

"Yes!" Zhou Zilong answered, turned around and left. Gu Li saluted Xu Yuan, turned around and walked out with Zhou Zilong, Xu Yuan sat down slowly, picked up the wine glass on the table, and turned it thoughtfully: "What does Li Mingjun want to do, he is really poor to this extent?" It's interesting to have to rob the house to live. ”

"Commander, after this battle, even if it is won, I, Huining, am afraid that I will suffer a catastrophe." Sun Xiang said with a bitter face.

"This is war!" Xu Yuan turned his head to look at him, his face became extremely cold, "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, the common people always suffer the most, so we have to kill the enemy as soon as possible, and when we win all the enemies and establish a unified peaceful and prosperous world, the common people will have a good life, as for now, Lord Sun." You better do the work of bereavement and post-war reconstruction as soon as possible, if my estimate is right, I am afraid that there will be nothing left in these places at this time. ”

Sun Xiang let out a long sigh. Slumped and sat down.

Xu Yuan's estimate was not wrong. Several villages on the border were already in shambles, and after Guo Fu's soldiers rushed in, they had the intention of snatching everything they could take with them, food. Clothing, livestock, everything, when these soldiers ran out of the village again, the ox carts, the wagons were full of looted supplies, and even the soldiers were covered with clothes and quilts, one by one, like a swollen sphere, driving the people of these villages. Withdrawing in the direction of Pinggu, the people wept and shouted, and under the pressure of swords and guns, they carried their own food and belongings with difficulty.

Guo Fu's heart blossomed, he never thought that these villages would be so rich, and with this vote, his thousands of troops would finally be able to live a happy year, and even the problem of cotton clothes would be solved.

Sure enough, it's not a good grab! Guo Fu happily looked back in the direction of the long bridge set, where is it. The 2,000 cavalry under the personal command of the general Li Mingjun thought that they had already entered the Changqiaoji at this time, and once they succeeded, they would make a fortune, just by looking at these villages. Changqiaoji is definitely richer, and it is one of the important towns in Huining. The Huining garrison did not have many cavalry, even if they sent troops to help, first, they would not be able to catch up with the general, and second, they would catch up. It can only be a sacrificial knife for the general.

"Retreat, retreat." He waved his whip and shouted back and forth.

And at this time, the long bridge set, the sky-high fire ignited, two thousand Xizhao cavalry rushed into the town, and outside the town, Cao Li, who was covered in blood, looked back at the dozens of soldiers who were still following him, clenched his fists angrily, he led the troops to support Tongling and other villages, but he did not expect to be attacked by this Xizhao cavalry on the way, unprepared, he just resisted for a moment, and was scattered by the cavalry, more than a thousand foot soldiers were either killed on the spot, or they scattered and fled, he took dozens of personal soldiers, He finally escaped from the enemy's pursuit, but he could only watch the enemy enter the long bridge, and his heart burned when he thought of the people who were crying and wailing under the enemy's iron hooves.

"Cao Gen, you ride my horse, go to Huining immediately, and tell General Zhou, I saw Li Mingjun, the general of Western Zhao, this dog and wolf raised by him actually came in person, please General Zhou must be careful, they are all cavalry, at least two to three thousand people. Just go. ”

"Yes, General, what about you?" Cao Gendao.

"Fuck off, what do you care about me? Go and report to General Zhou immediately, and be careful that this cavalry will attack them again. ”

Cao Gen got on his horse and galloped away, Cao Li looked back at dozens of soldiers covered in blood, "Brothers, do you have the courage to follow me to the town, take advantage of the chaos, kill a few enemies to avenge the brothers." ”

"Dare!" Dozens of soldiers shouted.

"Okay, let's go!" Cao Li took the knife and ran towards the burning town.

The sky was slightly bright, Li Mingjun gathered the soldiers and horses, slowly walked out of the town with a large number of supplies, glanced at the direction of Huining, and sighed regretfully, it was impossible for him to fight Huining City, first, the army carried a large number of materials, these things are extremely precious to him, and secondly, the army he brought was not enough to take a well-defended border county like Huining, and he originally expected Huining's soldiers and horses to come to the rescue after getting the news, so he could take advantage of the chaos to tinker again, but the sentinels sent out until the sky was bright, and did not find the soldiers and horses on Huining's side.

I had to go home. But this trip out is really worth it, whether it is materials, or people, are needed by Zhigu County, materials can be used for a moment, save a momentary urgency, these people, after going back, they can help the army farm, the people of Shanggu fled too much, ten percent of the fields, even abandoned more than half of them.

In Huining City, Xu Yuan was surprised when he heard that Li Mingjun actually appeared in Changqiaoji in person, and the dignified General of Western Zhao actually came to grab the grain himself, which shows how embarrassed his army is.

"Someone." He stood up and called his own soldiers.

"You go out of the city immediately, catch up with Master Gu, and tell him that at any cost, you will intercept Li Mingjun for me, and this big fish will definitely not be able to let go." This is really God's wish, God treats me well, I thought the plan was going to go bankrupt, God actually sent Li Mingjun to me, God didn't take it, I will be punished by God! He burst out laughing.

Guli's two thousand cavalry went around in a big circle to go around the butts of the enemy army, and the raging wind and snow hit them wildly on their bodies, faces, and heads, but for these Hun cavalry who grew up on the steppe, they could only be regarded as pediatrics, and they were well equipped with experience, and the whole person only left a pair of eyes outside, and the horse team drove by, and it didn't take long for the large snowflakes to fall to cover up the traces of their walking.
