Chapter 93 was unexpected

"Oh, unsafe? What's wrong with that? Zhu Yiluan frowned, the enemy army fled in despair, and the army was progressing smoothly, how could there be anything unstable?

Cheng Jingye sighed and said: "Although the Guangdong soldiers and horses are weak, after the restructuring, they should not retreat before they have taken over the battle like now, and their subordinates thought about it all night last night, and it is very likely that they have laid a trap in front of them and lured us to go deeper." ”

"Hehehe, no, the location of the two cities of Yizhang Lechang is important, even if it lures the enemy deep, they shouldn't be used as bait."

Seeing Zhu Yiluan's disbelief, Cheng Jingye shook his head and said: "This is exactly their cleverness, if it is changed to other places, how can they escape the eyes of the little prince, you can only lose your wife and soldiers." ”

was praised by him like this, Zhu Yiluan was a little embarrassed. "Hehe, what the second brother said has some truth, if the army is temporarily stationed here to rest, you can arrange for people to find out the nearby enemy situation. But it can't be too long, everything is dragging on like this, and our food and grass are not enough. ”

"Yes, at most two hours, the subordinates can find out all the enemy situations within a radius of thirty miles, if there is no ambush, then we can rest assured that we can march boldly." After saying this, Cheng Jingye surrendered and went to arrange the investigation.

At this time, Shen Chongming had already led an army of 30,000 into Incheon City, and Chen Qingping, the commander of the capital who followed him, was also anxiously angry, eager to strip Shen Chongming naked to see what he thought in his heart.

"My lord, Incheon is nearly a hundred miles away from Shaoshi Mountain, and once the defenders and rebels there can't resist it, we won't have time to rescue us at such a long distance. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to protect Shaozhou! ”

Shen Chongming, who was leisurely drinking tea, smiled slightly. "Master Chen, don't worry, you must know that it is an army of 30,000, relying on the terrain to resist 50,000 rebels, you can always resist it in one day. As long as there is this day, you and I can lead the 30,000 horses in Incheon City to arrive, but it is impossible to win the front and back? ”

"But my lord, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if they can't resist for a day?" Chen Qingping stretched out his hands and asked, letting his men and horses undertake such an important task, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Hmph, even a herd of pigs can resist for a day, immediately send someone to pass the order, tell the leading general, as long as they and the rebels are in battle, this officer will lead the troops to go, so that he can rest assured." Shen Chongming waved his hand and said, his expression was already a little impatient, it was really hard to lead such a group of people to fight.

The fast horse gave the order, and the speed was naturally not slow, but it was a pity that he happened to run into a scout sent by Cheng Jingye to investigate the 'enemy situation'.

Armed with an important military order, the herald knew his importance, and while turning his horse's head and fleeing, he escaped from his bosom and devoured the letterhead in his stomach.

The horse under the crotch can be regarded as a good horse, but the authentic Mongolian war horse, tall and tall, the carriage and horse gallop like a whirlwind, how can the scouts catch up with the short Sichuan horse under the crotch. Seeing that the distance between each other was getting farther and farther away, the idea of capturing alive could only be thrown away, and one by one they took a bow and shot arrows and vowed to destroy this guy who was much stronger than himself.

Before he could stand up, the rebel scouts behind him chased after him, and one by one deliberately drove the horses to trample over him, and in a short time, there was only a pile of rotten meat left on the grass, and he couldn't even see the human form.

After a smug laugh, several scouts walked away, and the long-awaited birds in the sky circled for a while before falling.

The scouts sent out did not find the ambush soldiers, and the anxiety in Cheng Jingye's heart was completely dispelled, and with Zhu Yiluan's order, 50,000 soldiers and horses immediately set off and went straight to Shaoshi Mountain, which was less than thirty miles away.

At this time, on Shaoshi Mountain, as the rebels got closer and closer, people became panicked.

"My lord, the rebels are coming in a blink of an eye, why don't you see our reinforcements for a long time?" A commander asked anxiously to General Lu Dengda, who commanded the 30,000-strong army this time.

Lu Dengda was also panicked in his heart, since he obeyed the army's orders and withdrew from Lechang City to this Shaoshi Mountain, Chen Dusi ordered himself to station here to lure the rebels to come, but he said that he would lead the troops to annihilate the rebels here, but it had been almost two days, and he had not seen a single figure appear.

"Wait, maybe our men will arrive as soon as the rebels arrive." Pressing the uneasiness in his heart, Lu Dengda said with a determined face.

After less than half an hour, the vanguard of the rebels appeared at the foot of the mountain, looking at the majestic formation, the muscles on Lu Dengda's face couldn't help but tremble, ***, this is not an ordinary mountain bandit.

"What should I do, my lord, do you want to send someone to Shaozhou to ask for help immediately." One of his generals was also afraid, knowing that the rebels had an army of 50,000 and only 30,000 on their own, so much difference, how could they beat others.

At this moment, Lu Dengda couldn't hold on any longer, and nodded without thinking about it: "Okay, immediately send a fast horse to Shaozhou City, just say that the thieves are huge and our army is difficult to resist, please send troops to help quickly." ”

The general was ordered to go for help, and Lu Dengda felt a lot more at ease. Shaozhou is not far from here, if Lord Chen had been prepared, the vanguard of reinforcements would have arrived in three hours at most, and when the reinforcements arrived in a steady stream, there should be no problem in resisting the rebels.

At this moment, the news that the rebels were approaching Shaoshi Mountain also reached Incheon City, and before Shen Chongming could speak, Chen Qingping said impatiently: "My lord, send troops quickly." ”

Shen Chongming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with the topography of Shaoshi Mountain and Guishan Mountain, it is not a problem for 30,000 troops to support it for three days." Moreover, it is impossible for the rebels to put all their military strength into it once they fight, and most of the people will definitely be left in case of accidents, so we will send troops at this time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the effect of destroying the enemy, so let's wait and talk. ”

"My lord, I'm afraid that something will happen." Chen Qingping said worriedly, he really can't have any confidence in his subordinates, these guys see that their own troops are at a disadvantage, and it is really possible to pick a son to escape, if that is the case, it is really a loss to the wife and the army.

Shen Chongming rolled his eyes, and he was really a little speechless at Chen Qingping. The soldiers are in a nest, and as the capital division, he is in such a situation, so how good can the soldiers under his command be?

After pondering for a while, Shen Chongming said helplessly: "Okay, you arrange a few teams of scouts to go to investigate the enemy's situation, as long as the rebels put seventy percent of their troops, our army will go." ”

"Yes, the next official will do it." Knowing that this was Shen Chongming's biggest concession, Chen Qingping no longer wasted his efforts, and hurriedly arranged this matter.

"What, there are no soldiers and horses in Shaozhou City? Tell me, what the hell is going on! Lu Dengda's eyes glared angrily, his chest rose and fell, could it be that he was used as a gun?

"My lord, I don't know exactly what the situation is, but the prefect said that the army in the city left yesterday, and no one knows where they are going." The general who went to ask for help said with a bitter face.

"***, he Shen Chongming is not a famous general, a few days ago, he was fiddling with this plan and that scheme, but he didn't expect the rebels to flee before they arrived at the city of Shaozhou, so it can be seen that he is just a coward with a false name." A general was so angry that he scolded his mother immediately. The brothers were easily pitted!

Lu Dengda's pupils shrank, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard, you dare to speak disrespectfully to Shangguan here!" Let me tell you, Lord Shen must have his own arrangements, and you and I will fight hard according to the military orders. ”

Although his tone was stern, Lu Dengda did not know the bottom of his heart. The status of these Beijing officials is respected, and it is reasonable to cherish their own lives, what did this Shen Chongming do with an army of 30,000, how can he guess.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Looking at these, Lu Dengda frowned and looked at the battle situation at the foot of the mountain, the situation was critical.

Since the brothers withdrew from Yizhang Lechang, the morale of the brothers has been extremely low, and the rebels have taken the two cities without much effort.

And now the rebels are not using all their strength, with their own, at most fifty percent of their troops. But even so, the entire defense line is already in danger, if there are no reinforcements to boost morale, this Shaoshi Mountain will not be able to hold for long at all.

Just when Lu Dengda was full of sorrow in his heart, another bad news came from the Guishan position.

"Report - Your Excellency Guishan guards will report urgently, the thieves are huge and difficult to resist, the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain has been broken, and more than 1,500 soldiers and horses have been damaged, please send troops to rescue as soon as possible." The humble general who came to report the news was full of anxiety, and he rushed here from Guishan on a fast horse, and galloped non-stop for nearly half an hour. I can't even think about how bad the war situation is now.

"What, you say it again?" Less than half a day after the rebels began to attack, the first line of defense set up by the wake up was declared to have fallen, how can this battle continue!

"Great, my lord, the first line of defense set up by Guishan has fallen into the hands of the rebels." The humble general said tremblingly. The so-called good news but not bad news is because once the worry is reported, it is very likely that you will not be able to eat and walk around.

Lu Dengda gasped a few times, and held back two words for a long time: "Rice bucket!" ”

There was silence all around, and it took a long time before one of the generals said cautiously: "My lord, the morale of the rebels in two cities is booming, and it is too difficult for our 30,000 men and horses to resist, and if we continue to fight, we will only harm the lives of the brothers in vain." ”

"Yes, my lord, since he Shen Chongming has gone, what's the point of my brothers staying here, it's better to retreat into Shaozhou City and make other arrangements."

The rest of the generals responded one after another, and Lu Dengda, who was already a little wavering, didn't know what to do, and he was entangled in his heart, and the idea of retreating to Shaozhou City slowly occupied the peak.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Lu Dengda nodded weakly. "But even if you want to retreat, you have to wait for the rebels to stop attacking, otherwise retreating at this moment is tantamount to killing yourself. Tell the brothers that as long as they hold their ground, everyone has a chance to live. ”

Seeing that Lu Dengda finally agreed to retreat, the generals were overjoyed in their hearts, and they were finally going to leave this ghost place where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, and then they entered Shaozhou City, at least the city wall could resist for a while.

Everyone left one after another to arrange this matter, but Lu Dengda looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to himself: "Shen Chongming, Shen Chongming, what are you going to do?" ”

said that Shen Chongming had set a plan to attack before and after, but he was worried that there were secret agents buried by Zhu Yiluan in the army, so he didn't dare to make too much noise, and he just gave Lu Dengda a military order to stick to the front line of Guishan and Shaoshi Mountain, and didn't reveal the detailed plan to him.

It's just that Shen Chongming never imagined that his cautious move would cause this disaster. If he had known this, he would have had to tell Ludenda the detailed plan to kill him.
