Chapter 125: Untitled

After Zeng County Cheng finished sighing, he said to Yang Inspector beside him: "Yang Inspector, how many people are still available for the county officials?" ”

"There are 12 people, including me." Inspector Yang replied with a bitter face.

"Alas, it's better than nothing." Zeng Xiancheng sighed, and then said to the city gate official: "Zhao Siwei, now you are still an officer among the officers and soldiers in the city, and the 30 soldiers in the city are under your command. Later, I will send another dead soldier to Yulin to report the news, and always spread the news of our stability and suffering, and see if the imperial court can send rescue troops. ”

Yang Inspector and Zhao Siwei saw that Zeng County Cheng said that their hearts were bottomless, and their already very heavy hearts suddenly became even heavier, and both of them left the Anding County Government with sad faces, and went to search for all the men who could go into battle, and brought them all to the city of Anding County to make a strong appearance.

When the men arrived at the top of the city, they busied themselves carrying stones and collecting all kinds of weapons in preparation for the defense of the city.

When the soldiers and civilians in Anding County were dispatched by Zeng County Cheng, they arranged the matter of defending the city.

300 steps away from the city, Mantianxing watched with great interest the people on the opposite side of the city were busy defending the city, and at the same time looked at the terrain of Anding County.

I saw this Anding county, the city wall is about two zhang high, wrapped in bricks and stones, there is a river not far from the city wall, at this time because the weather is still very cold, the river is still frozen.

Man Tianxing observed the enemy situation for a while, and said to his subordinates: "Little ones, hurry up and cut down trees, make wooden ladders to climb the city, and then let those new recruits enter the city, let's rest first, and wait for the defenders in the city to consume almost all the strength and bows, and then attack the city." ”

"Yes, Captain."

As soon as the thieves agreed, they took steel knives and cut down trees nearby to make wooden ladders.

After the wooden ladder was made, Man Tianxing pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, pointed to Anding County, and said loudly to the people who had just been coerced: "Rush to me, enter the county, you can do whatever you want, if any of you dare to retreat when we attack the county, we will cut you with a knife." ”

After Mantianxing finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to supervise the battle behind, and drove the people who were coerced to attack the county seat of Anding.

The people who were coerced by the thieves were forced by knives and guns, and had to grind and move slowly in the direction of Anding County.

Mantianxing sat on his horse, happily preparing to watch a battle of attack and defense.

At this moment, a cronie beside him seemed to suddenly remember something, so the cronie smiled and said: "Captain, I heard from the local thieves that there is a man named Liu Renyu over there in Jingbian Fort, who is very powerful, not like the pus of ordinary officers and soldiers, and here is close to Jingbian Fort, do you think we should send some scouts to the northwest to investigate and see if there are any officers and soldiers to fight us?" ”

"There's no need, if the officials and soldiers come, let's leave these coerced people here, let them cut off their heads and make meritorious contributions, let's run the fuck, and when they leave, let's come back to fight stability." Man Tianxing listened to the advice of his subordinates and replied nonchalantly.

"What the captain said is that it's a little too much." When the cronie heard his captain say that there was no need to reconnoitre, he quickly echoed it, and then he closed his mouth and watched with peace of mind as his men and horses attacked Anding County.

On a hill opposite Anding County, Sun Wuxian held a clairvoyant mirror, looked at the direction of the county seat for a long time, and then said to the left and right: "This is the thief I saw that day, they are about to attack Anding County, let's go back and report to the adults." ”

"Yes, grandpa."

The knights responded, and then, under the leadership of Sun Wuxi, rode their horses along the mountain trail first, and then turned to the main road, galloping in the direction where their own army was.

Sun Wuxian galloped for a while, and happened to meet Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo, two generals who led the horse team to the east.

When Liu Renyu saw that Sun Wuxian was sick, he stopped his horse and asked, "How is it, where are the thieves?" What are you doing? ”

"My lord, that gang of thieves is holding thousands of people hostage, and they are now besieging Anding County." Sun replied without illness.

"It's coming so fast! Brother, now we have learned that the thieves are outside Anding County, so let's follow the original strategy, I will lead the troops to attack from the front, and my brother will go around behind the thieves, cut off their retreat, and we will work together to suppress the thieves. ”

"Brother Xian, brother, if I walk over the road with my soldiers, I will definitely let the thieves find out, so how can we surround and annihilate the thieves." Liu Wuguo frowned and asked.

"What my brother said is that you naturally can't walk from the main road, and I will send someone to guide you and take you from the small road. This path is a bit harder to walk and can take some time. ”

"It's nothing to spend some time, it's nothing to walk hard, we are leading troops to fight, we can't bear these hardships, how to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, okay, virtuous brother, don't say more, you send me the guide, I'll go to settle down and set up an ambush in the east."

"The little brother of the guide will naturally send it, but let's make an appointment with the time to attack the thief first."

"Brother Xian, just pay attention."

"We are now 5 miles away from Anding County, if my brother takes a small road to the east of Anding County, and has to walk at least 10 miles, then I will attack the thieves outside Anding County in half an hour, hoping that my brother can set up an ambush within half an hour."

"I know, I'll hurry up and set up an ambush in half an hour." Liu Wuguo said firmly.

"Okay, no disease, you can be a guide for a while, and take General Liu to the east of Anding County to set up an ambush."

"Yes, sir."

Sun Wu was sick and received the order, so he rode his horse to Liu Wuguo, and arched his hand: "General Liu, please set off with your humble position." ”

"Let's go, then." Liu Wuguo waved his hand and motioned for Sun Wuxian to take the first step and lead the way in front.

Sun Wuzhi received the order, so he took the lead and led the way in front, while Liu Wuguo followed closely with his 400 cavalry.

After Liu Wuguo left, Liu Renyu began to arrange the attack array.

"Iron Bull, when you charge later, your troops and horses are at the front, bending bows and arrows, shooting and killing the enemy, deterring the enemy, and falling into the enemy's courage."

"Iron Bull has orders."

"Desheng, Wenshan, Zuo hanging, you follow behind the iron bull, once the enemy array is dispersed, then immediately pursue, remember, to chase relentlessly, when pursuing, meet the recalcitrant ones, kill them. Those who surrender should be locked up first, and then brought back and handed over to me for disposal. ”

"Yes, sir." Yang Desheng, Ma Wenshan, and Wang Zuohang responded in unison.

"Let's go, let's go to the left of Anding County to lurk, and when the time is ripe, we will go and kill the thieves. Zheng Zuke, you quickly lead 20 elite cavalry to search near Anding County to see if there are any thieves' sentinels, if there are, kill them all, and we can't let them expose our whereabouts. ”

"Yes, my lord, let's go for the little ones."

Zheng Zuke received the order, so he took 30 cavalry under his command and went straight to Anding County along the main road.

"Let's go, let's go to Anding County." After Liu Renyu gave the order, he took the lead and galloped towards Anding County, while his men followed closely.

**********

In the low hills of Anding County, Sun Wuxian led Liu Wuguo's subordinates around the mountain paths.

Liu Renyu said that these paths are very difficult to walk, but in fact, they are a bit exaggerated. These trails are located in the low hills with sparse vegetation, with loess bottoms, and there are not even jagged rocks, which are very wide and relatively easy to walk.

If there is a reason why it is difficult to walk, it is that these mountain roads are a little steep, and horses accustomed to galloping on the plains are not used to such mountain roads, and that's it.

Liu Wuguo was taken by Sun Wuzhi like this, and walked on the path for a while.

When he was in a hurry, Liu Wuguo found that Sun Wuxian was walking on these country roads, without looking at the map, and was obviously very familiar with these paths.

Seeing this, Liu Wuguo asked with great interest: "Little brother of the Sun family, it stands to reason that you are the garrison of Jingbian Fort, why are you so familiar with the country roads in Anding County?" Are you a local? ”

"Back to General Liu's words, the small ones are not locals. The small ones are familiar with this place, because when we were training before, we were ordered by Lord Liu to run all over the big roads and small roads in the prefectures and counties near Zhenbeibao, and the small ones are so familiar with this place. ”

"Really!? Where do you go farthest? ”

"Back to General Liu's words, let's go as far as Yulin in the north, Qingjian in the east, Yanchang in the south, and Dingbian in the west."

"Ran so far!?"

"This is not too far, according to the meaning of the adults, we have to run all over Yansui, as well as Weinan and Hexi, familiar with the terrain. lest you go to these places in the future and go out on an expedition without being familiar with the terrain. ”

"Your family is really thinking too far ahead."

"General Liu, our Lord Liu is really far-sighted, sometimes he is like a fortune teller, and he calculates many things very accurately, and our team Lord Liu is really admired."

"Really?"

"It's true, General Liu, you can talk to adults about the world's major events when you have time, and our adults are very accurate."

"If you say that, then I'm really going to ask you adults."

Liu Wuguo saw that Sun Wuxian was so determined, so he became interested, he really wanted to ask Liu Renyu about the world's major affairs.

"Bang la la blah." With the sound of metal crashing, more than a dozen officials scattered bags full of money on the city head of Anding County.

Zeng Xiancheng grabbed a handful of money, stuffed it into the hand of a Minzhuang, and then shouted to all sides: "Today, the army of thieves is pressing the border, and we have no soldiers to guard it, and the survival of stability depends on everyone, this is the tax that has not yet been paid in the treasury of our Anding Mansion."

If the thieves come in, they will be gone, so it is better to give them to you and make a life money. You all know very well what a thief is, and if they enter the city, our money and food will be lost, our homes will be burned down by them, and our wives and daughters will be ruined by them.

So, needless to say, I've already sent someone to ask for help, and we can wait for the rescue for a few days. So, be sure to hold on. ”
