Chapter 640: Pick up the Hou Ye

Three days later, Phi Dao.

"Xiaoyun, there is news from Master Hou!"

Geng Dang strode in front of Zhuang Xiaoyun, and couldn't help but shout excitedly again: "There is news of Lord Hou!" ”

He was very excited, his face flushed, but there was some anxiety in his eyes.

Zhuang Xiaoyun was supervising the construction of the fortifications, and when he heard this, his body trembled and asked urgently: "Really?" Where is Master Hou?! ”

They were ordered by Wang Zhen to Laizhou, and then Wang Zhu arranged a naval battle and captured Phi Island with pirates.

Now that they have landed on the island for a month, they often send ships to Lushun and Jinzhou to inquire about the news, and occasionally there is also information about Wang Xiao's words, either that he is dead, or that he has voted.

Although Zhuang Xiaoyun and Geng Dang didn't believe this, they became more and more worried in their hearts.

Since there was news of Wang Xiao's surrender, Zhuang Xiaoyun guessed that he should have been captured by Jiannu now.

Geng Dang's answer was beyond his expectations-"Master Hou is in Tieshan County!" ”

"Really?" Zhuang Xiaoyun was extremely surprised, looking at the Tieshan Peninsula across the sea, he couldn't hold back his mood.

"Let's go save Master Hou."

Geng Dang meant this, nodded hurriedly: "Yes, you quickly assemble the troops, and I will inform the warship." ”

The next moment, Zhuang Xiaoyun didn't know what to think, he was slightly stunned, and muttered: "How could it be ......?"

"What's the matter, go and save Master Hou."

"That's not right." Zhuang Xiaoyun said in a low voice: "It's too coincidental, we occupy Phi Island, and Hou Ye appeared in Tieshan County?" Where did you get this news from? ”

Geng Dang said: "It was rumored from Tieshan County, and now the whole city is searching for Hou Ye, and Jiannu has brought 3,000 people to besiege the city......"

Zhuang Xiaoyun frowned and said, "There won't be a fraud, right?" What if it deceives us? ”

"I don't think so." Geng Dang shook his head and said, "How could Jiannu guess that we were here to save Hou Ye, and how did he know that Hou Ye was used to lead us over?" ”

"We are looking for news near Golden State and Lushun. Jiannu may not be able to guess, let's wait for Brother He to come back from transporting grain and then ask him? ”

"It's so far away, how can Jiannu know?" Geng Dang said: "Now Jiannu is searching for Hou Ye, Brother He can't come back for ten days and a half months, I have to save him as soon as possible." ”

Zhuang Xiaoyun was still a little hesitant, he only had two thousand people in his hands, and he was really not sure that he would rush to Tieshan rashly.

Geng Dang also knew that Zhuang Xiaoyun's concerns were not unreasonable.

He scratched his head and said with some annoyance: "I also feel dangerous, but in case it is really the Hou Ye ......"

In a word, Zhuang Xiaoyun instantly made up his mind and said, "Let's go." ”

~~

That night, Zhuang Xiaoyun and Geng Dang took all the 2,000 people under their command onto the warship and quietly went ashore on a tidal flat.

2,000 people cautiously touched the outside of Tieshan City, looked through the woods, and saw that the Qing soldiers surrounded the city gate.

At this time, rashly attacking the city is no different from sending them to death, and they don't know where Wang Xiao is, so they are a little embarrassed.

After guarding for more than an hour, when Zhuang Xiaoyun was feeling troubled, he suddenly saw a fire in the big tent of the Qing soldiers, and a group of people were noisy.

Then, with the sound of horses' hooves, a group of Qing soldiers rode towards the gate here, shouting: "You have found most of the fugitive slaves, and you will surround ...... from that side."

After a while, there was a sound of fighting in the mountains and forests in the distance.

Zhuang Xiaoyun looked at it with a clairvoyant mirror, and saw that the Qing army was encircling and suppressing more than 1,000 people, those people had short hair and no braids, neither like the Qing army nor the Chu army, which was quite weird.

"Is it Master Hou?" Geng Dang asked in a low voice, almost rushing over.

Zhuang Xiaoyun held him down and groaned, "Look again." ”

More than 1,000 people over there were obviously no match for the Qing army, and they were quickly killed with heavy casualties.

Zhuang Xiaoyun and Geng Dang were worried that Wang Xiao was among them, and they sweated profusely on their foreheads.

But they were not sure, and it was a little difficult for them to make a decision.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a commotion in the city, and after a while, the south gate was opened, and more than 200 horsemen rushed out and attacked the Qing army over there, obviously to save the more than 1,000 people.

Although the number of more than 200 horsemen is not much, it is murderous and awe-inspiring, and there is a strong army.

"Stop them!" There was an uproar in the city, and a wave of Korean soldiers rushed out and chased after the more than 200 horsemen.

"Stop! Don't go, Wang Xiao! ”

A shout came into his ears, Zhuang Xiaoyun and Geng were excited, blood surged into their brains, and they couldn't care about anything else, and shouted: "Do it!" ”

Two thousand men rushed out of the woods and rushed into the battlefield without hesitation.

At this time, Zhuang Xiaoyun forgot one thing.

How could there be such a coincidence, he just came tonight, and he just happened to meet Wang Xiao......

~~

On the city wall, a determined smile appeared on Yingordai's face.

Things have developed so far, and nothing has come as he expected.

He had received the details of the battle of Fanggougang and knew that Wang Xiao had taken over 2,000 Baoyi rebels and defeated Erke Daiqing.

He also knew that it was Wang Xiao's people who occupied Phi Island. Wang Xiao has used the sea vessel so many times, it is indeed not difficult to guess.

Then, if the Chu army doesn't come sooner or later, Wang Xiao is trapped in the Qing Dynasty, and they will come, obviously to answer him.

So, Yingordai arranged tonight's game.

He didn't expect Cui Mingji to find Wang Xiao at all, in order to release the news and attract the Chu army on Phi Island to the shore.

What happened tonight was like he had set a trap and put food, and now that the prey had come in, he could close the net.

Inordai waved his hand.

The artillery on the city wall roared, and the cannonballs exploded in the military formations of Zhuang Xiaoyun and Geng Bu, and a piece of flesh and blood flew everywhere.

At the same time, outside the Iron Mountain City, torches suddenly lit up.

In the forest, in the city, and in the camp of the Qing army, ambushes came out one after another, brazenly killing the Chu army.

At the same time, the Qing soldiers attacking the Baoyi rebels turned around, and the five hundred cavalry collided with the two hundred cavalry who rushed out of the city, and quickly surrounded them.

Another 1,000 people were also killed against the ranks of the Chu army.

These two thousand Qing troops have always had spare strength against the other party's one thousand clothed rebels, otherwise, with the combat power of these cloths, only two hundred Qing soldiers can defeat them.

"Kill!"

Artillery fire, rain of arrows, firebolts...... In a short period of time, more than 200 cavalry were besieged, and 2,000 Chu troops suffered heavy casualties.

Geng Dang was knocked to the ground by the force of the artillery fire, and when he got up, his face covered in blood.

"Master Hou!"

He looked in the direction of the two hundred cavalry, and the scene of the thistle field suddenly came to mind again.

Did I mess up again?

……

"Kill! Save Hou Ye and rush out! Zhuang Xiaoyun shouted.

Geng Dang's heart trembled, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and pounced on the Qing soldiers in front of him.

"Boom!"

There was another cannon fire, and the night was suddenly illuminated by white light, and they saw that several fierce generals in the small cavalry team were still fighting desperately, like mad demons.

Zhuang Xiaoyun squinted, trying to look over there, wanting to see Wang Xiao in the middle.

For a moment, a spear suddenly raised, and a screaming Qing soldier hung on it.

"It's Gongzi Qin!"

Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun were instantly enthusiastic, even if they were in a crisis of nine deaths at this time, they felt that the trip was worthwhile......

~~

On the city wall, Ying Erdai turned his head to look at Cui Mingji and asked, "Did you find Wang Xiao?" ”

"The lower officials have searched the two inns and found no one else, Wang Xiao should be among the cavalry."

"Let your people go and take down the warships of the Chu people."

Inordai commanded, and his gaze fell back to the battlefield.

A thousand coated rebels either fled or knelt down and begged for mercy, and could no longer fight; Two hundred cavalry and two thousand Chu troops have been encircled...... It is almost impossible for the Chu people to turn the tables in such a situation.

At this point, Inordai has won the game.

But he's not a fool like Erke Daiqing, and he wants to think more holistically.

——If you were Wang Xiao, what would you do in this predicament?

After a while, Ying Erdai thought about almost all the possibilities, and thought about how he should deal with it, and his eyes became more and more determined.

On the way back, he recovered Phi Island and solved Wang Xiao...... I finally lived up to the first emperor.

Over there, Cui Mingji finished giving orders to his subordinates, and then stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Lord Keel, do you need to send troops to help encircle and suppress ......?"

This slightly blocked Ying Ordai's view, Ying Ordai frowned, and shouted, "Get out of the way." ”

Behind Cui Jiming, a young man who accompanied him stepped forward to help him.

Yingordai tilted his head in disgust, and his gaze fell on the battlefield again.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed.

Ying Ordai dodged and tried to dodge, and a dagger had penetrated into his abdomen!

"Ahh

"Protecting the General's ......"
