Chapter 220: I can't sleep nervously

Li An and several subordinates, standing on the city wall of Nanning Prefecture, watched Nan Jiyun personally lead a thousand troops to leave the city, this is destined to be an extraordinary night, whether it is the informant's narration, or the investigation of the scouts of the Pingnan Army, it is enough to prove that these rebel forces have decided to attack the officials sent to the land by the Tang Dynasty.

As the general of pacifying the planing land, Li An must not tolerate the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty being killed by the rebel forces of the planing land, once such a thing happens, it will have a great impact on the situation in the planing land, and it will also greatly damage the image of Li An and the generals, so that the glory they have worked hard to obtain becomes worthless.

"Big brother, tonight may be a tough battle, why don't you send more soldiers and horses? Nan Jiyun only led a thousand soldiers and horses, can he wipe out all the traitors? ”

Li Kunxiong asked.

Li An said softly: "Nan Jiyun and I have already studied it, the location where the traitors launched a sneak attack is relatively closed, and there are only two retreat routes, my Pingnan army only needs to deploy two hundred soldiers and horses on the way through these two retreats, which is enough to block these rabble, Nan Jiyun can lead the main force of soldiers and horses to kill the enemy to their heart's content, and there are too many soldiers and horses sent, one is unnecessary, and the other is easy to cause too much movement, so that the rebels are alert." ”

"Yes, big brother, then we can wait for good news in the city."

Li An nodded and said, "Except for the soldiers and horses patrolling the city, the rest of us should go back and rest!" After dawn, Nan Jiyun will definitely come back with good news. ”

Li Kunxiong stretched out his hand and led the generals down the city wall, each returning to his residence to rest.

After Li An returned to his residence, he didn't feel much sleepy, after all, once there was an accident in the plan he had made, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty had an accident, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Of course, this night, in addition to Ang Lee, there were many people who had insomnia, and at the residence of the guard, the mother and son and Duan Jianwei all suffered from insomnia.

Their conspiring plan will be carried out on this night, and according to their calculations, on this night, the team of Datang officials will stop at a remote post station, which is not large, only three or four two-story small buildings, more than ten upper rooms, more than 20 ordinary rooms, and seven or eight firewood rooms and utility rooms.

This team consisted of more than fifty officials sent by the imperial court, as well as many guards and miscellaneous servants, totaling more than two hundred.

The small post house was naturally a little overwhelmed by the reception of so many people and horses, but fortunately, the team carried tents, and the soldiers and miscellaneous servants of the guards could live in the tents, and the rooms of the post station could be all vacated for the officials to live in.

There is a large open space in the backyard of the post station, where tents can be set up, so that there is a certain distance between the location where the Tang officials live and the location where the soldiers live.

Although there will definitely be guards standing guard at night, but for hundreds or thousands of rebel forces, these are not a problem, as long as the team of Datang officials shows up at the post station on time and stays to rest, they have enough ability to kill all these Datang officials, and this is still certain.

Of course, what the mother and son of Shouyu and Duan Jianwei were most worried about was naturally that the Pingnan Army would send elite soldiers and horses to meet these Tang officials, once this happened, their plan might fail, but in order to achieve their goals, they had no choice but to take risks.

The moon in the sky is a broken half moon, which makes the mother and son not in a very good mood, and the plan also likes the group, the half moon means imperfection, and this makes them feel that their own plan, is there also imperfection, such a strict plan, will there be unpredictable accidents, these problems plague them, make them become extremely annoyed.

It was destined to be a sleepless night, and since they couldn't sleep, the mother and son went out of the room, walked in the yard, and talked about some light-hearted topics to relieve their depressed mood.

"Mother, it's Duan Jianwei."

Walking into the corner of the pavilion, he saw Duan Jianwei pacing not far away, and Duan Jianwei obviously hadn't noticed them yet.

Ah Yin pursed her lips and said lightly: "It seems that tonight, it's not just our mother and son who can't sleep. ”

The two glanced at each other and walked towards Duan Jianwei, who was pacing.

"Governor, ma'am, you don't have a rest either?"

Duan Jianwei was slightly surprised when he suddenly found the mother and son who were walking towards him.

"We're the same as my husband, we can't sleep!"

"Success or failure is tonight, how can we sleep peacefully."

Duan Jianwei frowned, looked at the two of them, and said solemnly: "Dudu, madam, I suddenly feel that there seems to be something wrong with our plan. ”

"What's wrong?"

The mother and son were all shocked, and they had a very bad premonition.

Duan Jianwei frowned and said: "The ambush location we chose is indeed an excellent location, but this location is only fifty miles away from Nanning Prefecture, which is too close. ”

The mother and son looked at each other, thinking that this was the case, they only wanted to choose an area that was convenient to start, but they ignored that the Pingnan Army would send troops to respond, and the closer they were to Nanning Prefecture, the more likely it was that the Pingnan Army would respond.

"Mother, this afternoon, there are two Pingnan army soldiers and horses out of the city, each with fifty or sixty people, from the north gate and the west gate out of the city, I don't know if I went to meet the Tang officials."

The guard said nervously.

"There are only more than 100 men in the two armies, and this should not pose much of a threat to our operations."

Ah Ji was not too worried.

Duan Jianwei didn't think so, and said worriedly: "You are too careless, such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier, the Pingnan Army is extremely elite, even if there are only more than a hundred people, it is enough to protect the Tang officials, you have never fought with the Pingnan Army, and you don't know their combat strength." ”

"Mr. Duan, our people have gathered thousands of people, do we still have to fear the Pingnan army of more than a hundred people? Mr. Duan inevitably underestimated our warriors who ploughed the ground. ”

The guard said with a little pride.

Duan Jianwei said with a worried face: "The combat power of the soldiers and horses under the command of Chongdao must be very clear to the governor, but in front of my Nanzhao army, it is simply vulnerable, and Chongdao himself was also killed by my Nanzhao soldiers, but the Pingnan army can easily defeat our army, and even can easily be injured but not killed, this kind of means is far better than my Nanzhao army, so the elite of the Pingnan army is not what the governor thinks, it is really very powerful." ”

When the mother and son heard this, they were all surprised, they fought with the soldiers and horses of the Chongdao for several months, and naturally understood the strength of the soldiers and horses under the command of the Chongdao, and the reality was that the strong soldiers and horses under the command of the Chongdao were not the opponents of the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao at all, and the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao were greatly weaker than the soldiers and horses of the Pingnan Army, so that the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Pingnan Army would be far better than these stragglers they organized, and the elite of the 100 Pingnan Army beat more than a thousand rabble, and it seemed that there was really no pressure.

"Our operation has been launched, if more than 100 elites of the Pingnan Army really go to meet the Tang officials, then our plan will not completely fail, what can we do?"

The guard said nervously.

"If you miss a hit, if you want to act in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

Ah Ji was also a little worried.

Duan Jianwei frowned and said: "We can only pray that these Pingnan troops who left the city are going to carry out other orders, not to answer the Tang officials, in this way, we may still have a chance to win, yes, at present, we can only pray." ”

"If we succeed in getting rid of these Tang officials, even if all these more than 1,000 warriors are killed, it will be worth it, but if none of the Tang officials die, but our warriors are annihilated by the Tang army, this will be a heavy loss."

"Among these more than 1,000 people, at least a dozen people know that the three of us are the masterminds behind the scenes, and once they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and give us out, we will really be dead."

Duan Jianwei was shocked, looked at Ah Yin, and said angrily: "Why do your subordinates know about me, I am here to help you, but you have pulled me in." ”

"If we don't take out Mr. Duan's prestige and don't use Nanzhao as a backing, how can our subordinates be confident and bold to do things? Now that we are all grasshoppers on a rope, Mr. Duan should not think about staying out of the matter, but think about what we should do if the plan fails! ”

Ah Ji responded positively.

Duan Jianwei's expression was very angry, but he was also helpless, who made him choose to cooperate with the mother and son of the guard? How could these two men not understand who he was, and how could they not guard against him?

"Alright, let's wait for the news ahead! Once the front is smooth, we will start the next step, if it does not go well, we may be exposed, when immediately leave Nanning Prefecture, take refuge in a safe place, and then plan a good plan in the future. ”

Duan Jianwei analyzed.

Ah Ji nodded and said, "Mr. Duan, let's go back to the house and rest first!" ”

Duan Jianwei answered, turned around and went to the guest room.

"Mother, do we have to prepare in advance for the evacuation of Nanning Prefecture?"

Ah Ji said softly: "Since entering Nanning Prefecture, my mother has thought of a way out, and once things are not in our favor, we will leave Nanning Prefecture immediately. ”

"Mother, now that Tang Jun has the final say in Nanning Prefecture, what if we can't leave?

The guards were a little worried.

Ah Ji said disapprerovingly: "I don't have to worry, isn't there a secret passage in the east city wall?" This secret passage Tang Jun is not clear, once things are unfavorable, we will leave from the secret passage, and when Tang Jun finds out, it is obviously too late. ”

"Mother is smart, the child will go and prepare."

The guardian is overjoyed.

Fifty miles north of Nanning Prefecture, the Tang officials rested in the post station as scheduled, and the guards of less than 100 people were exactly as they predicted, setting up tents in the backyard of the post station to rest, and everything was going according to their predetermined plan.

However, just two hours before their operation, two teams of Tang Army officers and soldiers totaling more than 100 people arrived at the post station and strengthened the protection of the post station.

These traitors who are preparing to act naturally understand that these soldiers are soldiers of the Pingnan Army, but they have more than 1,000 people and horses, and they don't take the reinforcements of the Pingnan Army of more than 100 people in their eyes at all, and some people even feel that the Tang Army guards more, and this task will be more interesting to complete, and it will be better to show off in front of others in the future.

After dark, the rebel forces of more than 1,000 lands hidden in many locations took the action of raiding the post house on time.

However, because the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army had long been fully prepared, for this reason, their surprise attack did not achieve the desired effect, and even failed completely.

More than 100 soldiers of the reconnaissance team, after hearing the movement outside, quickly set up a battle formation and protected the post house.

The shields in the front row blocked the rain of arrows fired by the rebel forces, while the crossbowmen in the rear immediately returned fire with Zhuge repeaters, killing and wounding many of the charging rebels.

More than 1,000 rebel soldiers and horses rushed and killed many times, not only failed to break through the defense line of the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army, but instead left behind a large number of corpses and wounded brothers who could not move.

This situation made these rebel forces who thought they were awesome completely desperate, and they found that the warriors of the Pingnan Army in front of them were like iron beaten, completely standing still, no matter how they shouted and attacked, the soldiers of the Pingnan Army could stay calm in place, and continued to fight back with Zhuge crossbows, causing them huge losses.

Not only did they fail to complete their mission, but they also lost a third of their men, which made the rebels nervous and prepared to evacuate for the time being.

However, it was already too late, Nan Jiyun personally led a thousand soldiers and horses of the Southern Army to arrive, and sent 400 soldiers and horses to seal the two retreat routes, and then led the main force to attack these rebel forces.

The retreat route has been sealed, and the combat power of the soldiers of the Pingnan Army far exceeds them, which makes these rebels in the land all desperate, and under the persuasion of Nan Jiyun and other soldiers, they all laid down their arms and surrendered.

Seeing that all the rebel forces had surrendered, Nan Jiyun immediately ordered that all these rebels tie their hands with ropes and line them up in a straight line.

The Datang officials who lived here at the post station were so frightened that their souls were lost when they saw more than a thousand rebel soldiers and horses attacking the post station, and at least ten officials fainted in fright, and many of them took off their official uniforms and prepared to blend into the team of miscellaneous servants in order to save their lives.

Of course, they didn't expect that the 100 soldiers sent by the Pingnan Army would steadily block the attack of more than 1,000 rebel forces like Mount Tai, and beat the other party all over the ground without any damage.

After Nan Jiyun arrived with the main force and subdued all the rebels, these officials sent by the imperial court finally breathed a sigh of relief and were glad that they had escaped the catastrophe.

Of course, there are also some officials who frown tightly and almost encounter an accident as soon as they arrived in the plan, which is not enough to show that the law and order situation in the planing area is very bad? In this way, how can their lives be guaranteed in the future? How uncomfortable it must be to live a life of fear all day long!

Of course, they are all officials without personnel, and there is no better way than to accept such injustice. (To be continued.) )
