Chapter 774: Scuffle on
The rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Pang Xi was wearing battle armor and riding on a horse, his whole body seemed to be soaked in water, and his eyes looked ahead, but he could only see a mile or two away.
Pang Xi shouted: "The scout went to inquire about Dangyang, why is there no news at all?" ”
"General, the rain is too strong, and it's hard for scouts to inquire about the situation!"
The scout lieutenant stepped up and arched his hand and said, "Give us a little more time, and we will definitely be able to find out the news of Dangyang?" ”
"No waiting!"
Pang Xi raised his head, a drop of heavy rain bamboo fell on his face, he looked at the soldiers who were marching hard behind him, and said: "The whole army advances, enter Dangyang, otherwise we will not be able to shelter from the rain!" ”
"No!"
The generals commanded.
The march of the team immediately increased.
"Driving !!!"
The fast horse returned on the dirt road.
Scout Detective Malema stood in front of Pang Xi and said, "General, have you found enemy troops ahead?" ”
"How many?"
"I can't see clearly!"
"Pang Yu!"
"In!"
"You immediately lead a thousand troops, go to investigate with the vanguard, and if you encounter a strong enemy, withdraw immediately!"
"No!"
A lieutenant general led the troops, and in the heavy rain, rushed forward.
……
"Lord Captain, you've been discovered!" Not far from Pang Xi's army, a group of soldiers and horses camped in the rain.
"Then pester them!"
Li Song said coldly: "The first song, the third song, an all-out attack, be sure to stop them!" ”
"In addition, the scouts are all attacked, sweep the perimeter, and must not let their scouts understand our troops, as long as they can see our camp!"
"Also, it's going to be a tough fight!"
"In this battle, we are here to cover the main force, and we must not make any mistakes!"
"It's really not good, we can still retreat to Dangyang City!"
One order after another was issued, and Li Song still felt a little insecure.
When they found the enemy army in the north, Cai Mao put the main force on the Changban slope in the north, preparing to invite the king into the urn, but they could not ignore the Jingzhou army that appeared in the south.
The task of dragging the Jingzhou army was given to Li Song.
And Li Song only has four parts in his hands, less than 2,000 people.
"Chen Hong!"
"In!"
"We didn't enter Dangyang for the sake of secrecy before, but now we can't take care of it, you lead a song of troops and go to Dangyang, if Dangyang County blocks it, then find a way to kill it, you must take Dangyang City first!"
"No!"
Adjutant General Chen Hong surrendered his hand.

When the sun is shining.
This is a county seat, relying on the Han River and established, if the people of Mo Wan are around, in the heavy rain, every household is closed, and the streets and alleys are a little lonely.
Jingzhou was in turmoil, Nanjun became a battlefield, fleeing, dying, Xiangyang Jingzhou has become a Shura field, everyone in each county is in danger, some county officials began to flee, for fear of provoking right and wrong.
There were large numbers of fugitives in many counties, including some officials.
Dangyang is no exception.
When Yang Ling and Dangyang Cheng broke the Yiling front, they were frightened, for fear that Dangyang would become a target, so they escaped from Dangyang overnight with a small family and a small family.
At this time, the entire Jingzhou was in a mess, and it is estimated that he will be made up.
Dangyang is only one Dangyang County lieutenant who is in charge of the situation.
The name of the county lieutenant is Qiu Jie.
Qiu Jie is the head of the Qiu family in Dangyang, he is less than forty years old this year, he is in the prime of life, and he has a good reputation in the local area.
This force barely managed to maintain order in Dangyang.
If you want to be external, it's a lot harder.
But the homeland is difficult to leave, unless one day when the sun is really in ruins, maybe the people will be willing to flee, otherwise it will be peaceful here, they are willing to live here.
They are also living day by day.
Perhaps they thought in their minds that countless wars would come, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Lord County Lieutenant, outside Dangyang, there are many traces of soldiers and horses!"
A scout of the county soldiers who braved the rain to enter the county government knelt down and arched his hand, and said: "I found traces of fighting in the southwest, there are many traces of warships on the river, and in the north, Changbanpo has already fought, we don't know who they are fighting, under the heavy rain, the other party's flag can't be understood, but looking at its shadow, I'm afraid we can't keep it!" ”
"Keep inquiring!"
Qiu Jie clenched his fists and said gloomily: "No matter who fights whom, those who are close to Dangyang County will be stared at by me, in addition, pass on my orders, the county soldiers will gather, and prepare for war at any time. ”
"Yes!"
Several of the generals took the order and left.
"Lord County Lieutenant, do we really want to stick to Dangyang?" A staff member next to him whispered: "At this time, the two warring sides are nothing more than the Jingzhou Army and the Yizhou Army, they are all one finger, they can kill us!" ”
Dangyang's five hundred soldiers, all of them are young and strong, just a rabble, some people can't even shoot arrows, and it is too difficult to defend the city.
"Take a step, look at a step!"
Qiu Jie smiled bitterly, in the troubled times, human life is like a mustard, but he can't escape, because his Qiu family is all in Dangyang, he must guard Dangyang, no matter who wants to be Yang, at least give him a guarantee, not hurt Dangyang for half a point.
In troubled times, there are people with great ambitions, but more people want to keep their own one-third of an acre, and their homeland is difficult to leave, which is the disposition of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
"Lord Captain, Nancheng has found that the enemy army is approaching the city, it seems to be coming from Jingzhou City, shouting under the city, let's open the city gate immediately!"
"Go up and have a look!"
Qiu Jie stood up, regardless of the heavy rain, and walked directly outside.
…………………………………………………………
Changban Slope, this is a Gangling area formed by the remaining veins of Jingshan Mountain, in ancient times, it was called Dangyang Changsaka, and it was also called Dangyang Slope, and later it was called, and the locals put the terrain of this generation, called Changban Slope.
Because of the terrain, Nagasaka Slope has always been a battleground for soldiers from the south to the north.
Won the Changban Slope, more important than Dangyang City, although Dangyang is a county seat, but he is surrounded by plains to attack, as long as there are siege equipment, can not hold for long, Changban Slope is different, the terrain here is treacherous, attack and defense are integrated, who takes it first, who has an advantage first, but if anyone goes in, who will also be besieged inside, this is such a terrain.
In the midst of heavy rain, this terrain is even more complicated.
"Eat dry food!"
Chen Zhi pulled away a rice cake in his arms, and the heavy rain soaked the rice crackers, but it was better to eat, but it was not very hygienic, and now he couldn't take care of it, so he handed half of it to a young man next to him.
"Thank you, General Zhonglang!"
This is a young man with a tiger's head, a member of the Jingping scout, and the one who can enter the scout department of the Jingping First Army is not only an old soldier, but also an elite, physically outstanding, and experienced person.
"General Zhonglang, can we still kill it?" Another scout asked in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Chen Zhi bit the rice cracker and said confidently.
They have been blocked here for more than two hours, and the soldiers outside dare not attack in, and they can't kill themselves, after all, he only has a few dozen people, and there are hundreds of people outside.
"The Lord Guild is here to save us!"
Chen Zhi said in a deep voice to dozens of scouts: "You have to believe in the lord, so no matter when, to ensure survival as the first priority, we Jingping Erlang, will never fight to the death!" ”
This time he was a little righteous, the heavy rain and the weather, even if he investigated, should not be so deep, because of easy things, he didn't expect to ambush an enemy army, forcing them to enter and exit Nagasakapo.
……………………
In the southeast of Changbanpo, on the wharf, the Jingzhou army is landing one after another.
Cai Mao stood tall and looked to the north: "The herdsmen haven't appeared yet?" ”
"Nope!"
A lieutenant general replied: "They only have dozens of scouts trapped in our encirclement, the main force is still outside, although we have figured out the position, but we dare not attack easily, unless they walk in, otherwise they can continue to retreat!" ”
