Suizhou is in the southwest of the Xinyang Army and in the southeast of the Zaoyang Army.

The adjutant general said: "The general Suizhou is afraid that there will be no troops to help, half of the soldiers and horses of the Zaoyang army are Suizhou people, and the main general Meng Lin is also from Suizhou, the Zaoyang army is attacked, Suizhou must have sent reinforcements." ”

"Go...... De An Province. ”

If Suizhou sends reinforcements, they can arrive overnight.

De'an Mansion is very close to Ezhou, it is the northern gateway of Ezhou, but the distance is twice as farther. I didn't dare to go to the east, and the Wancheng Army of Xixian County controlled it, and several counties in the east didn't dare to help at all.

General Xinyang observed the opponent's military situation and the preparations before the battle, and he was afraid.

This is not an ordinary soldier and horse, this is an absolutely elite soldier and horse, if it is placed on the plain to fight face to face, its own Xinyang army will need at least three times the strength to remain undefeated.

How to keep?

"Come on, send someone to the rescue of the Hanyang Army, and send someone to rescue the counterinsurgency soldiers and horses."

The soldiers who went to the rescue went out of the city to the south road, but they had only run less than five miles, but he had to stop.

It was densely packed with people, carrying shovels, hoes, and sticks.

Someone shouted, "He's going to ask for help, stop him." ”

There were only thirty soldiers sent out, and at least three thousand ordinary people, even ordinary people with wooden sticks, they did not dare to come forward.

The soldier could only turn back.

When the rescue soldiers returned to Xinyang City, they saw that the city gate was opened, hundreds of ordinary people, and nearly 100 soldiers lit a fire.

An old man was carried up to the city tower, shouting desperately at the top of his voice:

"Welcome the righteous army into the city, and spread the land into the acre!!"

The Xinyang army guard raised a knife and prepared to kill the rebels in the city, but when he saw the rescue team that turned back, he threw the knife on the ground after asking clearly, and the people sat at the city gate.

What to fight.

The people in the city supported the rebels, and the people outside the city cut off the rescue road for the rebels.

The Xinyang guard general believes that if there is a real war, someone will definitely stab him in the back, and the righteous army's apportionment into the mu is too ruthless, and it is almost the New Year, and it is time to collect people's taxes.

The Xinyang guard general guessed that the fire on the side of the Zaoyang army was likely to be the fire lit by the people in the city to meet the rebels.

At this time, a figure appeared in front of the Xinyang guard.

When he saw his face clearly in the firelight, Xinyang Shou was stunned and stunned.

Meng Zongzheng!!

Meng Zongzheng picked up the knife on the ground with his toes, picked up the knife and handed it back to the hand of the Xinyang guard: "Don't say that Lao Tzu doesn't give you a chance, the uncle and brother who are sentenced in the city take away people's property, rob people's wives and daughters, and he has 30,000 acres of fertile land on the ground of your Xinyang Army alone." Tomorrow at noon, Lao Tzu will try him in public, and then scrape his whole family alive. ”

This attitude is already obvious.

I'll arrest people, and you, the guard, will also roll into prison and wait for the distribution.

If you arrest someone, we'll give you a chance to be a person.

The eyes of the guards of the Xinyang Army changed, and he grasped the knife.

Meng Zongzheng said again: "A Shangshu has been sent to Lin'an, my father and me, and several of my brothers have all died in battle, and the Zaoyang army has suffered more than 10,000 casualties. How do you write it here, write it before dawn. ”

The Xinyang army guard didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand with a knife, his own soldiers followed him and ran into the city.

Meng Zongzheng looked up at the city wall, did not enter the city, took out a water bag and sat on the side of the road to watch the soldiers running towards the city.

Bi met it again, took Meng Zongzheng's water bag and drank a few sips and asked, "Is this appropriate?" ”

Meng Zongzheng said: "The intention given above, but what do you want me to do about this." Drawing lots, no one wants to stay in Zaoyang Army and pretend to be a filial son and grandson, looking at the stinky faces of those greedy people all day long, and laughing with them. It's better for everyone to die together, I sent someone to bring a few burdens into Lin'an, I believe that our brother has the means. ”

Bi Zaiyu understood, and Han Jiang sent an urgent letter requesting to attack the Ezhou and Hanyang armies.

The Zaoyang army was attacked by surprise and suffered heavy losses, and Meng Zongzheng was killed in battle.

But others are unwilling, why did you Meng Zongzheng die in battle, why can't we die in battle, so we don't want to live.

Not even willing to draw lots.

Meng Lin beat and scolded dozens of people, but it didn't work.

In the end, they can only die completely.

Right now, the Zaoyang army in Shangshuzhong, which gave Lin'an, was attacked by a sneak attack, and after the whole army fought, they all died.

Then he sent Han Jiang a few baggage, which contained ordnance and gunpowder.

The knife that breaks when touched, the arrow shaft that bends when it sees the tide and can't be straightened at all, and the gunpowder that can't be lit at all are all fakes.

One word.

The death of 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Zaoyang Army was killed by the quartermaster.

Once this pot is smashed, all the armies will pick up the things supplied by the imperial court, which can be loaded into hundreds of ships and sent to Lin'an, which is not easy to collect.

There are no dozens of heads, and ordinary officials can't carry this pot.

Crumb.

Zhao Fang and Zhao Fang arrived.

The names of the two sound the same, one is a civilian official and the other is a military general.

One is the transfer envoy of Jingnan Road, and the other is the deputy capital commander of the Xiangyang Army.

However, Zhao Fang's transfer envoy did not seal the letter.

His official position should be to be in charge of Jingnan Road Cangsi, since the Wancheng incident, Jingnan Road and the three largest officials have escaped. Then before Zhao Kuan ascended the throne, the garrisons in many places mutinied, and Xiangyang killed one, captured one and sent it to Lin'an.

Wancheng is too close to Xiangyang, and no one wants to be the official of Jingnan Road in Lin'an.

Zhao Fang and Zhao Fang came to the city gate, and Meng Zongzheng and Bi Zaiyu were squatting on the sand outside the city gate and painting.

Zhao Fang turned his head and glanced at Zhao Fang: "You civil officials have a lot of hearts, and there are only two counties on Jingnan Road, and you have pushed the battlefield to Jinghu North Road and Huainan West Road." ”

Zhao Fang smiled awkwardly: "I'm also very embarrassed, wait for me to get the official transfer envoy appointment and then move Jingnan Road, anyway, it is to fight Ezhou, from Xiangyang to the south is also to the south, from Suizhou to the south is also to the south, similarly, from Xinyang to the south or to the south." ”

"It's really." Zhao Fang didn't listen to this kind of nonsense at all.

Zhao Fang went over and kicked Meng Zongzheng: "Don't think about it, your father said a truce." ”

"What?" Meng Zongzheng jumped up immediately.

Meng Zongzheng made three sets of preparations.

One set is a real fight, and there are always a few people who are not all the way with them on this road, and they must really fight a few times.

And then there's the fake.

In the end, it was a half-truth.

At present, there are less than 20,000 pairs of real iron armor in the Wancheng army, but there are 100,000 pairs of bamboo armor that look the same as real armor in the night.

Zhao Fang said: "Your father discussed it with Zhai Tong, and they thought that they would give the imperial court a little time, and also give Ezhou a little time. Let them stock up more supplies and mobilize more troops. A full 1,000 people have been arranged to disguise themselves as ordinary people and soldiers who fled south after the defeat, and these people have been mixed into Ezhou, which is useful. ”

Meng Zongzheng asked, "What about our winter clothes?" ”

Zhao Fang pointed to the city in front of him: "In this city, if it's not enough." Hit two more cities, or three cities down, Ezhou don't be in a hurry, slow in. It's a bit weird, take your time. ”

Why slow?
