Chapter 285: Ambush
Sun Chuanting said slowly: "The time and time are almost there. ”
As he spoke, he beckoned behind him, and Zhang Hu walked to Sun Chuanting's side like a mountain.
Glancing back at Zhang Hu, Sun Chuanting said boldly: "The time is almost up, you can take someone with you." After going up, directly open a gap and take Luzhou City. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go." Zhang Hu agreed, clasped his hands into fists, turned around and left.
Zhang Hu has 3,000 people, and these 3,000 men and horses were carefully selected by Sun Chuanting from the new army, that is, his personal guards, all of whom are good players. At the same time, the origins of these people are relatively innocent, and most of them are mountain people who cannot survive the disaster and people who are in distress.
The previous wave of deaths has almost consumed Luzhou City, and now it is the turn of these well-equipped elites. After they rushed up, Sun Chuanting believed that Luzhou City should be about the same.
Qi Yuangong naturally heard Sun Chuanting's instructions and knew that the time was almost up.
In fact, if you look at the twilight sky, if this wave can't be beaten, then there will be no play today, and you can only wait for tomorrow to continue playing.
At this time, Liao Sanniang, who was not far away, leaned over quietly.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yuangong walked directly to Sun Chuanting's side, pressed the knife behind his waist with his hand, and looked at Liao Sanniang faintly.
The reason is also very simple, when the city was just attacked, Liao Sanniang's losses were not small. In particular, some people were killed by themselves, that is, by the hands of the Overseers. The ghost knows if this Liao Sanniang will be annoyed and angry, and give it directly to Sun Chuanting. If this is really the case, then he will not be able to eat and walk around, so Qi Yuangong has to protect Sun Chuanting.
Regarding this scene, Liao Sanniang seemed to come straight to Sun Chuanting's side as if she hadn't seen it, and said respectfully: "My lord, our people found that a scout came over here, it should be someone from the rebels." ”
"Do you know how many there are?" Sun Chuanting seemed to have expected it, and asked unhurriedly.
"I don't know about this yet." Liao Sanniang thought for a while and said, "But the Sang brothers should know that the two of them have already fought with those scouts. ”
Sun Chuanting nodded, signaling that he knew.
Turning his head to look at Qi Yuangong, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Everyone has been pressed to the siege of the city, if there are really rebels coming, I'm afraid I will have to rely on you." ”
Qi Yuangong didn't care, and said with a smile: "Then wait for them to come." ”
In fact, if Qi Yuangong was allowed to pursue, he would have some hesitation. After all, there are no good horses now, and if you really run the mountain road, it will be inconvenient for your own subordinates.
But if the other party attacked, Qi Yuangong was really not afraid. Even if there was a triple or five times as many enemies, he didn't care. As for why Qi Yuangong was sure that the rebels would not come with more people, because he felt that there were not so many rebels.
Do you really think that people are scraped from the sky?
Except for Sun Chuanting, who can pull up such a big team in such a short period of time?
Luzhou City, above the city.
There was an anxious look on his face, if he continued to fight like this, he would really not be able to hold it on his side. The Ming army was like crazy.
He said with some anger: "Where is Fan Long now? ”
The people standing next to Hao Yin were all at a loss, who knew where Fan Long was at this time?
Even Fan Hu didn't dare to speak, because he didn't know where the eldest brother was. Now that the city is more intense, Fan Hu also remembered what the eldest brother said, "You shouldn't send people out, everything must be safe." ”
Hao Yin actually regretted it in his heart, and the reason was very simple, the situation in Luzhou City is not good now. If Fan Long was here, he still had 8,000 people in his hands, at least he wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now. But now Luzhou City is already in danger, and it will be bad if it continues like this.
At this time, the Ming army under the city seemed to have changed. A team of men and horses, led by a tall man, directly touched Luzhou City.
They were very fast, obviously very strong, and the group of people quickly approached the city wall.
They also carried ladders, but their ladders were not the same as those of other Ming troops. Similarly, they wore armor, but it was largely devoid of leather armor; The weapons also look very sophisticated, obviously different from the previous army, these people are the elite of the Ming army.
"Hold on! Hold! Hao Yin shouted loudly, and at the same time let Fan Hu also go up.
The Ming army's offensive this time was very fierce, they set up a ladder, braved arrows, and rushed up directly.
The tall man was Zhang Hu, who was holding a huge shield in his hand, climbed the ladder neatly, and rushed directly towards the top of the city.
Someone threw stones downward, but they were all bounced off the shield, and Zhang Hu's body didn't even shake at all.
When Zhang Hu quickly rushed to the top of the city, he threw the shield in his hand suddenly, and the rebels on the head of the city were swept down.
Zhang Hu jumped from the ladder to the top of the city, and the big knife in his hand was picked up in an instant, and he rushed directly towards the other group of rebels gathered at the head of the city.
The Ming army, which rushed up behind Zhang Hu, followed by a menacing kill.
A fierce battle broke out in an instant at the head of the city, and the two sides fought fiercely at the head of the city.
As more and more Ming troops rushed up, a group of people began to fight at the head of the city, and the battle became more and more intense.
Everyone knew that this time it was time for a decisive battle.
And under the city, Sun Chuanting nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene.
"It should be about the same, they won't last long." Sun Chuanting said to Qi Yuangong: "It seems that everything is going well, we can eat in the city at night." ”
Qi Yuangong was happy to be able to win. It's just that after today's battle, he has a new understanding of Sun Chuanting. This Lord Sun is amazing, and at the same time, he has won Qi Yuangong's respect.
Qi Yuangong said with a smile: "Adults are strategizing, naturally there is no problem. ”
"I can't talk about strategizing, and there is still a battle to be fought next." Sun Chuanting said with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, only to see the Sang brothers running back in embarrassment.
The two of them came to Sun Chuanting and stood still. The big fat mulberry gasped for breath, and the Samba on one side did not look very good.
After seeing Sun Chuanting, Samba hurriedly said: "My lord is really clever, there is indeed an ambush. We walked ten miles out, and found nothing; It wasn't until we walked thirty miles that we found someone, and then we were followed and pursued by the other party. Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we wouldn't have come back to see the adults. ”
"Well done." Sun Chuanting patted Samba's shoulder and asked with a serious face, "How many people do they have?" ”
"It looks like there should be about 10,000 people." Samba said hurriedly.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head to look at Qi Yuangong and said, "These people should have come to save Lu Zhou City, and now we have two choices." ”
"One is to give up the advantage and withdraw the people, and then wait for the other party to attack. This approach is more prudent, and it will not be caught off guard, nor will it be attacked on both sides. ”
"The second way is to fight on two fronts. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the city, these 10,000 horses will be handed over to you. ”
Qi Yuangong looked at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile: "I always watch them fighting, and the brothers don't feel very good in their hearts, and this credit is robbed." 10,000 people were handed over to me, and they were rounded. ”
"Alright, there you go." Sun Chuanting said with a smile.
Qi Yuangong led people to set up a formation in the same place, waiting for the arrival of the other party.
Luzhou City, above the city.
Seeing the Ming army lined up not far from the city, Fan Hu's face was overjoyed.
Although they had been beaten and retreated, and seemed to be about to be crushed to retreat from the city, he was still happy.
Running to Hao Yin's side, Fan Hu hurriedly said, "Young master, my eldest brother is here!" ”
After hearing this, Hao Yin's face was full of surprise, and he stood up and asked, "Where are the people?" ”
Hao Yin was already preparing to run away just now, as long as the head of the city was captured by the Ming army, he would take people out of the city from the other side. He doesn't want this place in Luzhou City, his father is the king, and he can't throw his life here.
Now that I heard that Fan Long is coming, then this is a chance to turn defeat into victory.
"The Ming army has used all the main forces to attack the city, and there are only five or six thousand people left in the city, I just saw them lined up, obviously our reinforcements are coming." Fan Hu said with excitement on his face: "As long as my eldest brother can capture their five thousand people, they must remove the people from the city, and we will be able to turn defeat into victory." ”
After hearing this, Hao Yin was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Immediately pass on this good news and tell the soldiers below that as long as we hold on for a while, we will be able to fight out of the city." You go to supervise the battle yourself, you must hold on! ”
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Fan Hu agreed, and hurriedly took someone to supervise the battle.
Under the city of Luzhou, Qi Yuangong could already see the rebels on the opposite side. Obviously, the other party also knew about the situation in Luzhou City, which was to speed up the march.
In front of the rebels, Fan Long's face was very solemn.
The reason why he withdrew his army for thirty miles was because he didn't want to be discovered by the Ming army. But he didn't expect the scouts of the Ming army to touch him, and he chased them all the way, but he couldn't eliminate the scouts of the other party.
The scouts were sent along the road, but they found that Luzhou City was already in danger. Originally, he was still thinking about this plan, but now he couldn't care about it, looking at the Ming army formation in front of him, Fan Long's face showed joy. At the same time, there was a faint hint of anger.
Five thousand? Do you want to use 5,000 men against yourself?
Looking at the fierce battle on the head of the city, and the Ming soldiers standing on the head of the city, Fan Long knew that if he came a little later, Luzhou City would be gone.
Even if you come by yourself, you can't delay. If he can't quickly capture the 5,000 people in front of him and capture the commander of the Ming army, I'm afraid Luzhou City will not be able to keep it.
Fan Long raised his hand and said loudly: "Rush up, capture the commander of the Ming army alive, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be ten thousand taels of silver!" ”
After saying this, he waved his hand violently.
One by one, the army gritted its teeth and rushed towards the Ming army's military formation.
Qi Yuangong stood in front of the formation with a knife, looking at the rebels who rushed up, with a sneer on his face.
Infantry without cavalry charging into battle is really ridiculous.
