Chapter 142: The weather is too hot for war
"What?"
"Cavalry?"
"Cavalry there? Could it be Lin Ziran's people? ”
"That's not right, one of them is Lin Ziran's people, but what about the other group, is it the Guang'an rebels?"
Many questions came out of Yan Qiyue and Zhou Li's mouths in an instant.
After the messenger breathed a sigh of relief, this was the way he said: "It's not the men and horses of Qingshan Town, it's the men and horses from the north, it's the men and horses of the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade!" ”
"The Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade? How could they be here, shouldn't they be in Chongguang City, and even if it was them, how could they fight? Yan Qiyue was even more puzzled.
The informant really doesn't know this question.
With doubts, Yan Qiyue, Zhou Li and others hurriedly went to the north city wall, climbed the city wall, and stood high and looked into the distance, only then did they see that on the open wilderness more than a thousand meters away to the north, two groups of cavalry were confronting each other.
But there were already a lot of dead and wounded lying on the ground, and it seemed that they had already fought a wave just now, and now they were in the time to regroup.
After taking a closer look with a single-pass telescope, Yan Qiyue confirmed that the two groups of men and horses in the north were indeed the cavalry of the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade, and the banners they wore and the military uniforms they wore were also the same.
But why the fight?
He doesn't know!
Just as the vanguard cavalry of the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade to the north of Sanyang Town had already fought, four or five kilometers east of Sanyang Town, Lin Ziran continued to advance with his troops.
Qingshan Town is not close to Sanyang Town, more than ten kilometers away, but they set off early in the morning, and the first to set off are all combat troops, and the baggage is still behind, because the marching speed is still relatively fast.
In the morning, they had already walked most of the way, and after a brief rest for half an hour at noon, they continued their journey, and now they had come to a place more than 4,000 meters away from Sanyang Town.
Because the surrounding areas of Sanyang Town are relatively flat, although there are rolling hills, if you stand taller and hope that the telescope helps, you can actually see the city wall of Sanyang Town several kilometers away.
However, Lin Ziran hadn't seen the city wall of Sanyang Town yet, but he saw his own scout horse running back quickly.
"My lord, I found other centaurs fighting ahead!"
"Judging from their banners and uniforms, they should be the cavalry of the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade!"
After the detective finished his concise report, it was Lin Ziran's turn to wonder.
What are the people of the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade doing in Sanyo Town?
At this time, shouldn't they be fighting to the death in the area of Nanguang City, how could they suddenly run to Sanyang Town in the south?
"How many cavalry did they fight, what was the situation, and were there any other forces around where they were found?" Lin Ziran didn't believe that the cavalry of the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade would be here for no reason, there must be something he didn't know about here.
Moreover, it is very likely that the main forces of the 6th Brigade or the Provisional Brigade will be in the vicinity.
Lin Ziran just asked, and there was a scout running back in front of him, and when he opened his mouth, a very familiar sentence came from Lin Ziran: "My lord, it's not good!" ”
This made Lin Ziran very unhappy: It's not a fart!
Ma Dan, it's always this sentence, it's not annoying, it's not annoying what you say, I'm annoying when I hear it.
The scout continued: "We found the main force of the Sixth Brigade in the direction of about six kilometers to the northwest, at least two thousand people! ”
"What is this Sixth Brigade doing in Sanyo Town?" Lin Ziran couldn't figure it out.
Wu Guanlin on the side also frowned and said: "The Sixth Brigade was stationed in Chongguang City before, judging from the current situation, if the Sixth Brigade wants to quickly return to the county town, then they should take a boat south directly from Chongguang City." ”
"Even if they don't make boats, they should take the west bank of the Luo River, where the roads are smoother, and there are no other local forces blocking them along the way!"
"Why did you get to Sanyo Town?"
Wu Guanlin also didn't understand, as a high-achieving student who graduated from the first step department of Luohai Military Academy, he had been in the army for many years and traveled to many places, not to mention that he also served in Cheng Lingfeng's direct unit in Luo'an Army a few years ago, although the follow-up results were not good, and he buried at least thousands of people and horses in Luo'an's army, if he hadn't run fast himself, he would have been sent to a military court and shot.
Having said so much, I just want to say that Wu Guanlin has a basic understanding of the basic geography of the counties in Nanhai Prefecture, the branches of various feudal towns, and so on, and the Renluo River is the main inland river artery in Nanhai Prefecture, and the situation along the way is even more familiar to him.
The county seat of Luo'an County, but on the west bank of the Luo River, not the east bank, and the terrain on the west bank of the Luo River is relatively flat, and more importantly, from Chongguang City to Luo An County Town, all along the way are areas under the direct control of the government, and there are not too many local feudal towns.
On the other hand, in the east bank area, the terrain is more complicated, there are many militia groups, and there is also the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, which is now the supplementary brigade of the Third Division, which is an unstable factor.
Therefore, Wu Guanlin couldn't think clearly, if the Sixth Brigade wanted to quickly return to the county seat, they would either take a boat directly, or if they didn't dare to take a boat, they should also go to the west, what is it if they come to the east coast and go to Sanyang Town.
When Lin Ziran, Wu Guanlin and the others were puzzled, suddenly there was a report from the scout in front of them.
Immediately upon their return, the scouts reported that the main force of the provisional brigade had been found in the north, again at least two thousand troops.
The scouts came back one after another, and the news sent back made Lin Ziran tremble, the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade didn't go there, they had to run to Sanyang Town, what was the matter.
"Today's incident is a bit weird!" Lin Ziran muttered in his mouth, he had known that this was the case, he should have looked at the yellow calendar before going out, instead of purely following the battle plan to determine today's expedition.
It's just that, in fact, even if you want to see the yellow calendar at the door of departure today, you don't have to see it, this world is not the earth, how can there be such a thing as the yellow calendar.
At this time, Luo Mazi stepped forward and said, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”
"The Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade in the north know at a glance that they are going to do it, and if we are not careful, it is very likely that we will be implicated!"
"Why don't we go back today and come back tomorrow?"
Luo Mazi gave a proposal at this time, a very good proposal!
The Sixth Brigade wants to fight back to the county seat, and the Temporary Brigade wants to stop the Sixth Brigade, which is destined to have a big battle between the two brigades, but the life and death of Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi is a matter of Lin Ziran, and he doesn't want to be implicated and then fight inexplicably.
Another very important point is that Sanyo Town is there, and it doesn't look at the long legs and runs away on its own, and it is estimated that the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade will not be able to stay in this area for a long time.
So after Lin Ziran pondered for a few seconds, he looked up at the sun in the sky, and said with half-squinted eyes: "It's too hot today to fight, let's go, let's go back and rest first, and then come to Sanyang Town in two days!" ”
