Chapter 105 was unexpected

"My lord, fifty miles ahead is Changsha City. The specific battle situation will only be known when the scouts come back. Chen Hu galloped to Yu Prison and said.

This time, he left behind the enemy of several provinces in the north of Huguang and led his troops south to Changsha, and Yu Jiao ignored Chen Hu's repeated pleas, and arranged an errand for him as a pioneer general.

Yu Jiao had a good eye, and after receiving the military order for Shen Chongming to lead his troops south, he guessed Shen Chongming's plan. This young and promising Lord Shen is not small, he is not used to petty fights, and he actually wants to decide the outcome of a battle.

Although he felt that Shen Chongming's plan was too bold, Yu Jiao had no other feelings in his heart except admiration. The flames will not only cause great trouble to the imperial court, but also the innocent people in the local area will inevitably be affected by the pond fish, and the longer it lasts, the greater the losses. If the Battle of Changsha could really defeat the rebels, then these problems would be impossible to discuss.

And even if it fails, with Shen Chongming's skills, it will not make the rebels much better, and after this battle, it will definitely be a heavy loss, and then only need to mobilize people from all over the country, and the next battle will definitely be easy and comfortable.

Of course, this is just the worst plan in Yu Gao's heart, how can a mere Zhu Yiluan be the opponent of Shen Chongming, who has not been defeated since leading the troops?

With such thoughts, Yu Jiao did not hesitate, and immediately gathered the people of Ying Tianfu, who were scattered in various places to clear the rebels, and flew to Changsha, and the speed greatly exceeded Shen Chongming and Chen Qingping's expectations. It was only less than two days, and the Yu Prison Department was less than fifty miles away from Changsha City.

In response to this rare opportunity, Yu Jiao also insisted on putting Chen Hu in the position of a vanguard general, once this battle is over, it will be far away if he wants to lead the troops to fight and establish meritorious deeds in the future.

Chen Hu took office immediately, and it was the same as Brother Erdan's appointment as the commander of the guard that day.

Therefore, whenever there is anything, he will personally return to the Chinese army to report to the rest of the prison, and never pretend to others. In such a situation, Yu Jian is also helpless. Everything has to come step by step, and a castle in the air is unacceptable.

"Fifty miles?" Yu Jiao looked up at the sun in the west, pondered for a moment and ordered: "Order the army to stop moving forward and camp on the spot to rest." Remember not to make a fire to make food, just use dry food to feed your stomach. ”

It has been a rapid march for more than half a month, and it is about to enter Changsha to face a fierce battle, and Yu Jiao does not dare to let his soldiers fatigue the enemy, which greatly weakens the combat effectiveness.

As soon as the army had stopped moving, a few scouts rode back, all looking anxious, as if they had seen something terrible.

"Report to your lordship, the rebels outside Changsha are attacking the city from all sides, and the city is also on fire." A scout said as he hurried up to Yu Prison.

Yu Jiao raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "You said there was a fire in the city?" ”

"Yes, my lord, it seems that there is chaos in the city. The rebels outside the city are also attacking very fiercely, and they must be trying to cope with their men inside the city. "The scout is not shallow, but he has guessed the general idea of the matter.

Yu Gao nodded and ordered: "The army will set off immediately and march to Changsha in a hurry." ”

The order was passed down, and it didn't take long for Chen Hu to run over in a hurry. "My lord, what's wrong?"

"The situation in Changsha is not good, you immediately lead all the cavalry to take the lead, regardless of casualties, and attack the besieging rebels from behind, regardless of casualties, and you will definitely disrupt their arrangement. I led the army, and then arrived. Yu Jiao frowned and said, the battle was a bit out of his expectations, how did the rebels sneak into the city, could it be that after occupying Changsha, Ma Erdan did not thoroughly investigate the people of Jiwangfu lurking in the city?

I didn't dare to be sure of this, and Yu Jian didn't have time to think about it, the war was like fire, and he didn't dare to drag it out. Otherwise, if you lose Changsha City one step later, Shen Chongming will blame him and he can't afford it.

"Second Brother Cheng, how many people have been sent to the city?" Looking at the sunset, Zhu Yiluan raised his head and asked Cheng Jingye.

"The little prince has sent three waves of people before and after, and there are more than 15,000 people so far." Cheng Jingye sighed and said. After such a long time, although the fighting in the city has not stopped, there has been almost no change in the defenders of the city, which shows that these manpower did not play the role planned.

"Can you still draw extra men?" Zhu Yiluan's brows furrowed, the night was approaching, and it would be even more difficult to capture Changsha City.

Cheng Jingye shook his head, "Little Lord, according to your request, my army will attack the city on all sides at the same time, and it will be difficult to draw out excess troops at this moment. ”

In fact, how could Zhu Yiluan not know this situation, but he didn't want to admit it. This ruined move can't capture Changsha City, and the situation will be irreparable.

Sighing, Zhu Yiluan's brows deepened. "Second Brother Cheng, did you say that before the early morning of the next day, can we break Changsha City?"

The imperial army is getting closer and closer, and Cheng Jingye also knows this, so he knows exactly what Zhu Yiluan is worried about. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be.

"Don't worry, little prince, although Changsha City has not yet loosened in the slightest, their losses have not been small since the beginning of the war, and this battle depends on who can hold out to the end. As long as we grit our teeth and hold on, we will definitely be the ones who win in the end. Cheng Jingye's eyes are very firm, if he loses, everything will be over. So, no matter what, you have to stick with it until the end.

With a sigh of relief, Zhu Yiluan got up and said: "Tell me to go down, stew meat in a big pot for dinner, if the meat is not enough, you can slaughter the horses, and you must let the soldiers in rotation eat and drink enough." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Cheng Jingye hugged his fists, turned around and hurriedly arranged this matter, this time it was really a ruin.

"***, where did so many rebels come out?" Brother Erdan scolded and scolded, with dozens of scars on his body, and his face was full of exhaustion.

I didn't expect so many rebels to pour out of the secret passage, and their own arrangements were improper, and five thousand men and horses were not enough to stop them. Although they slaughtered countless rebels in a day's fighting, they did not notice that their momentum had weakened. Moreover, the high walls of the palace could not stop them, and now several streets near the palace have been completely occupied by them, and if it were not for the mobilization of more than 2,000 archers this time, the existing manpower alone would not be enough to stop them.

"Brother Sikong, how many more people do we have?" Seeing that Sikong Wang withdrew with a team of archers under the counterattack of the rebels, Brother Erdan immediately arranged for a team of men and horses to rush towards the rebels to protect the precious archers, and at the same time, he himself quickly ran to Sikong Wang's side.

Sikong Wang's face was solemn, and he asked while panting heavily: "Erdan, most of my archers have lost most of them, how many people are there on your side?" ”

Brother Erdan's face was a little bitter, and he said: "Counting the five thousand men and horses that were transferred an hour ago, there are less than four thousand left, which is also half of the loss." ”

"It's almost enough, in my opinion, this rebel army is at the end of its power, but the leading general has organized a law enforcement team, so it hasn't collapsed at the moment, but as long as we grit our teeth and hold on, they won't last long." Although Sikong Wang's words are beautiful, he is still worried.

Now that the palace is under the control of the rebels, and the exit of the secret passage is also in their hands, if any more people enter the city, it will be difficult to say. And the battle at the head of the city is in full swing, and under the thunderous siege of the rebels, it is difficult to send people to support, so it is really difficult to say whether he and Erdan can stop the rebels.

Brother Erdan didn't think about it so much, so he smiled and said, "That's fine, you can rest first, and I'll go up and kill for a while!" With that, he waved the blade in his hand and rushed forward with a scream, like madness, and no one dared to stop him.

Time passed, the last trace of the sun's residual light was finally engulfed by smoke, and countless torches inside and outside Changsha City shook the sky, adding a heavy brilliance to this scene.

"Report-" The scout dragged a long tail and rolled off his horse, striding in front of Chen Hu, who was clenched in fists. "Lord Qiqi, the rebels outside the city are still attacking the city, according to the number of torches, the focus should be on the south gate! However, there are also a lot of troops on the other three sides. ”

Chen Hu was worried for a while, how can this battle be fought, there are only 5,000 horses under his command, and Changsha City is surrounded by enemies on all sides, which one is the best to fight?

Fortunately, although Chen Hu has little experience, he knows a lot of allusions. The so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the old master, it is better to take 5,000 cavalry to rush and fight for a while, maybe you can even mess up the rebels' formation.

With a plan, Chen Hu did not hesitate, and took out his sword and shouted: "Brothers, kill the enemy with me!" With that, he flew out with a slam of the horse's belly, almost bringing the scouts from the flank.

The battle was in full swing, and although the hooves of the 5,000 horse army galloped like thunder, the rebels in the middle of the battlefield did not notice it, and they knew that the sentries stationed in the camp not far away could be regarded as awake, and this thunderous sound could no longer be emitted except for the horse army. And the war horses in the army have been slaughtered by thirty percent at dinner, it must be impossible to organize cavalry, then only the enemy army is left!

"Enemy attack!" The sound of the alarm first shook Zhu Yiluan, who was waiting for news in the tent, and this guy ran out of the big tent in a panic to take a look, and was immediately dumbfounded, the enemy's reinforcements came so early!

"Little prince, hurry up and order the withdrawal of troops to retreat to the camp!" Cheng Jingye also ran out, glanced at the situation, and shouted loudly.

"Hehehe." The bitterness on Zhu Yiluan's face could not be concealed, and he turned back to Cheng Jingye and said, "Second brother, the general trend has gone, and there is no day to turn over." ”

Cheng Jingye's eyes were red, and he held back his tears and said: "Little prince, why is the enemy defeated?" Even if we lose this time, how can we not be able to win this game if we still have the 50,000 male soldiers you have carefully trained for so many years?! ”

Zhu Yiluan shook his head and didn't want to say anything more. "You deal with this matter, I'm tired, go back and rest for a while." After that, he staggered back to his big tent!

Cheng Jingye shook his head and shouted: "Come on, protect the safety of the little prince, if there is a mistake, it will cost you and your life!" ”

The surrounding guards were stunned, and one by one they surrounded Zhu Yiluan's military tent with knives and surrounded the outer three layers of water.

Seeing that they had done all this, Cheng Jingye packed up his mood and arranged a way to deal with it, the first thing was to shrink his troops and stick to the camp!

He was so busy that Lei Bao and Liu Zhen, who had already blended into the Chinese army camp at night, also slowly approached Zhu Yiluan's big tent with the chaotic crowd.

Looking at the situation around the big tent, Lei Bao smiled coldly, turned his head to Liu Zhen and whispered, "Brother Liu, it's time for you to get out." ”

Liu Zhen understood the meaning of Lei Bao's words, and he didn't talk too much nonsense, and Lei Bao and his party, who were dressed in disguise, walked quickly to the big tent.

"Stop!" With a loud shout, the guards around the big tent stopped everyone with knives, and they all stared at each other with wary eyes, ready to attack at any time.

"Liu Zhen is also, get out of the way quickly, Lao Tzu is here to protect the safety of the little prince!" Liu Zhen said with a glare, full of momentum, and the guards who didn't know the inside story couldn't see anything wrong at all.

These guards are naturally Liu Zhen, who is the confidant of the little prince. "Ah, it's Lord Liu, the villain is rude." The guards who stopped drinking at the exit hurriedly apologized, and with a mistake in their feet, they still made the way of the passage.

Liu Zhen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, snorted coldly, shook off and strode towards the big tent under everyone's protection. With him taking the lead, the Lei Leopard behind him and more than a dozen good players are naturally unimpeded.

"Are you running away?" As soon as Liu Zhen entered the big tent, Zhu Yiluan's slightly magnetic voice sounded in his ears. looked up, but found that Zhu Yiluan was looking at something with his back to him.

"Hehehe, little prince, Lei Leopard is here to see you off." Lei Leopard also heard this, when even if he sneered, it was really feng shui in turn, and now it is my Lei Leopard who is dominant.

Zhu Yiluan turned his back for a while, turned around slowly, looked at the two with a sneer on his face, and couldn't help frowning: "You are not dead?" ”

"Hahaha, the lives of the two of us are still alive, is it a little unexpected by the little prince." Lei Leopard's smile became more and more intense, and what he wanted to see most was Zhu Yiluan's expression!
