Chapter 174: The Road Encounters a Heavy Enemy
There is now a brigade of guards at the Dongting Lake Wharf, led by the brigade Sima, who is still an acquaintance of Su Lu, and was once clothed by Su Lu's soldier Zheng Kai in Tuletun Fort.
When Zheng Kai saw Su Lu, his cheeks full of sorrow instantly stretched, grinned, and said with a silly smile:
"Dudu, you are finally back, Beiyang is saved."
"You don't know, Governor, since you left, our Beizheng Army has been divided, all battalion brothers, there are everywhere, and Su Duwei has been demoted to Beiyang to defend the city."
Su Lu nodded, and asked Zheng Kai and said, "It's not too far from Beiyang here, but there are Tule soldiers coming to cut off the luck." ”
Zheng Kai smiled when he heard this, and said happily: "Yes, but they are all small groups of military horses, and I left all these soldiers and horses according to your previous instructions." ”
Su Lu glanced at Zheng Kai in surprise, this kid is not simple.
In the past, when he was in Lintao Tunbao, this kid was still a big soldier, and he could only be added by the formation card in that battle, and when he was in the defense of Yumen City, this kid could get the opportunity to listen to a few words of command by his side.
With a brigade of guards, he held this dock, this kid is good.
"Good boy, good job."
Su Lu patted Zheng Kai on the shoulder, praised him, and then asked: "What is the situation in Beiyang County now, has the Tule army besieged the city?" ”
Zheng Kai shook his head, his dark and thin cheeks were full of doubts, and he casually pulled a branch, scratched it on the ground and said:
"The Thule striker has arrived here, and there have been several sieges of the city, but they have been blocked by Captain Su Pingdu, and they have not fought for the past two days, and a small group of Thule rangers wandered around the city, harassing them."
Su Lu stared at the enemy situation map drawn by Zheng Kai on the ground, his brows furrowed, it was not that the Thule people did not want to attack the city, but they wanted to go down with one drum, and after the army gathered, they would capture Beiyang City in one fell swoop.
The two asked and answered, and after talking for a while, Su Lu pointed to the first-line place marked on the map with the Dongting Lake Wharf, and his voice was serious.
"The day after tomorrow at the latest, the Tule people will be encircled, and Beiyang City will be broken."
Su Lu's face was grim, and he said with a frown. Lao He kept saying in the letter that the situation was urgent, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point.
"Send the people on the dock away as soon as possible, take your people with you, and return to Beiyang with me."
Su Lu instructed Zheng Kai to speak.
Zheng Kai was stunned when he heard this, but after a while, he laughed, the governor is going to take me under his command again. Great, it's good to follow the general to have military merits and honors.
"Yes, Governor."
Zheng Kai saluted in his chest, turned around and roared at his soldiers.
"Hurry up, the governor is going to take us to earn military merits."
"That little boat, give me the fuck and go, stop for a while and try, believe it or not I hacked you."
"Gang B, what is the fuss, press the boat for me, if you are disobedient, you will be beaten, and if you are disobedient, you will be cut down."
On the dock, Zheng Kai's voice was everywhere.
I have to say that Zheng Kai's actions were very fast, and before it was dark, the people on the dock were driven away, and the first brigade of guards also stopped and prepared to set off.
Su Ge rode on his horse and said in disgust: "Dudu, this is a group of rabble, why are you gathering them?" ”
Su Lu looked at Zheng Kai's brigade that was lining up, pursed his lips and said, "Whether we can enter the city tonight depends on the strength of Zheng Kai's brigade guards." ”
Su Ge pursed her lips and didn't speak, she thought that Su Ludu's expectations for Zheng Kai were too high, Zheng Kai was just a small soldier, and his guards were no more than a hundred, and it was just wishful thinking to protect Su Lu into Beiyang City.
It's still up to the guards led by my Suge.
Su Ge thought in his heart, and also began to deploy guards, before coming, the princess ordered, must protect the Hou Ye into the Beiyang camp, otherwise he will have to take the knife himself.
Be sure to do a good job of protecting the Hou Ye.
The sky darkened, and the guards all stopped in their hands, Su Lu waved his hand, and the guards rushed to Beiyang City.
Half an hour later, the scouts reported that Beiyang had been besieged, and there were all Tule camps in the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest, especially in the direction leading to the dock, and there were heavy troops hoarded, numbering tens of thousands.
Zheng Kai was worried: "My lord, what should I do?" ”
Su Ge, who was originally full of control, also panicked, with so many soldiers, even if his guards were all masters like Mrs. Ye, they couldn't take this camp.
Su Lu's brows also furrowed, it seemed that entering the city was a problem.
"How many soldiers are there in the Nanguan battalion now, and how many soldiers are besieging the Nanguan battalion?"
Sulu asked the scout who was exploring the path.
The head of the scout was a middle-aged man, and when he heard this, he groaned and said:
"If there is no mobilization in the past two days, there should be 20,000 people in the Nanguan camp now, and there are fewer in Beiyang City, about 5,000."
"There are many Tule soldiers besieging the Nanguan battalion, and the number is innumerable, there are about 40,000 people, and I can't see how many soldiers are besieging Beiyang City."
Su Lu nodded, drew a line on the map, and commanded:
"Let's go, let's take this line and enter the Nanguan camp at night."
"Zheng Kai, tell me to go down, there will be a bloody battle tonight, so that the soldiers are ready."
"All of them have it, abandon their horses, and gallop through the night."
With a series of orders from Su Lu, discontent began to pile up among the soldiers.
Originally, because there were not many people, they could rush to the Nanguan camp on horseback, but now they had to walk at night, and all kinds of strange words began to sound among the guards.
"Riding a horse without exhausting the horse, this new general is so timid that he does not even dare to let the Thule people hear the sound of horses' hooves."
"I think this man must have suffered a great loss at the hands of the Thule people, and he did not even dare to let the horses ride at night."
"Such a waste is used to command the war, and it is almost the same as sending people's heads, and the brigade commander is really big, so he will send it."
Zheng Kai pulled out his waist knife in annoyance, cut off a willow tree beside him, and scolded with a roar.
"I didn't scold for two days, I went to the house to uncover the tiles, do you know who this is?"
"Lao Tzu's governor, when Lao Tzu ran thousands of miles to attack Lintao Tun Fort, fought a bloody battle in Yumen, under the command of the governor, killed more than 100,000 soldiers. Tens of thousands of Tule soldiers have scared you into such a coward. ”
"Waste"
Zheng Kai scolded, and the guards didn't dare to say any more, but looking at Su Lu's eyes, there was something wrong.
In the army, strength comes first, and if you have the ability, everyone will really convince you, but you have to show it.
Zheng Kai's gang is basically a new army, most of them have never heard of Su Lu's name, plus these days guarding the dock, killing a lot of Tule soldiers at the dock, one by one, are a little inflated.
The same is true of the Thule soldiers.
The generals who lost their armor and abandoned their armor in the Tule soldiers at the beginning will definitely not be able to do so.
If you meet those Tule soldiers at home, you will definitely be able to take them down.
Su Lu ignored these arrogant soldiers, arrogant soldiers are a good thing, at least they will not be frightened and flee from the battle.
In the dark night, a guard army marched in the dark and rushed to the camp of Nanguan.
Outside the Nanguan camp, in the military tent of Tulle, there were thousands of commanders, and several Thule generals were vying for the errand of setting up camp in the south.
Hasul stood in front of the tent and patted his chest to the Grand Attaché.
"Don't worry, Attaché, I, Hasul, promise with my head that I will guard the south side and not let any fly pass through my camp.
The Grand Attaché waved his hand: "Okay, Hasul, if you can really prevent a Han army from leaving you, wait for Beiyang, and I will personally show you the merits to the right wing." ”
