Chapter 248: The Battle to Break the Siege
No one has an appetite anymore, and everyone puts down their meals.
Yang Yingdong said twice, "It's a familiar trick, hahaha." Kill the people who want to return to their hometowns and take away their fields. ”
Old man Zhang's eyes were fixed on the rice in the bowl, "The world is south and north, and the land is fat and thin. Only the gentry and lords of this land always think about more land in their hearts, and they are all a urine. ”
Radar and Da Niu were still young, and they were directly shocked by the vicious practices of more than a dozen gentry and merchants.
A chill ran through Radar's heart.
"It's all human life. For the sake of the land, if you want to kill the people who return to your hometown, how can anyone have such a vicious heart? The big cow muttered.
Liu Sheng picked up the bowl again and laughed twice, "In Huang Liren's heart, when will my people in Mingyuezhuang be considered human lives?" The same reason, in the hearts of some big men in Jiangnan, the lives of the people who return to their hometowns are like ants. Kill the small people, take away the land, and eat it without cost, why not. ”
Zhang Qingping suffered a famine when he was a child, and later fled with his son, and he was most disgusted by this kind of behavior, but he was no longer surprised.
Ding Shihang asked: "There are too many things like this, doesn't the government care?" ”
Li Xiang finally spoke up again, "Xiaomin was killed by bandits, what does it have to do with the big masters?" What is the evidence? Who would dare to seriously pursue it? ”
"Without the acquiescence of the government, officials and village soldiers, even if the Yongle Dynasty is not destroyed, these two bandits have been eliminated several times."
"Okay, I'll check it out later. Eat and drink enough first, and rescue the owner's father-in-law, which is the right thing to do. ”
After experiencing the flames of life and death, nothing cannot be put aside. Will Li Xiang reveal this? Just kidding, can you expect a person with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder to not care about things that have been plotted several times?
Everyone continued to eat, and the food had its own characteristics.
Fang Weiliang, Zhang Laotou, Zhang Qingping and Yang Yingdong pay more attention to eating and pay attention to chewing enough.
Liu Sheng, Ding Shihang and Da Niu are a little bit gobbling, and they don't pick rice, cooking cakes and flatbreads, and at the end, each person has a bowl of wild vegetable soup.
Radar is more interesting, either soak the rice in the broth and eat it, or soak the rice in the broth and then use the cooker cake to eat it, which is simply a trick.
The presence of the radar finally eased the quiet atmosphere. It's just that Ding Shihang finally saw that Radar actually wiped the remaining broth in the bowl with cooking cakes, and finally couldn't help but imitate it.
The owner couldn't hold back a laugh, and wiped the remaining broth from the bowl like Radar, and then ate it.
The food on the plate is hard work. Fang Weiliang also joined the ranks of cleaning up the debris, and the rest of the people also came, and they all felt that the action of the radar was very food-saving.
When the little head in charge of the cooking came to collect the bowls, he looked at the wooden bowl that was so clean that it was shining, and his heart was full of emotion. "The bowl of the owner" soon became a new allusion.
At noon, turn on the fire and make rice. After the meal, Li Xiang let his subordinates rest for half an hour.
In a few moments, Li Xiang's troops were assembled and could be evacuated by Liu Chengdong's troops at any time.
The battle to break the siege begins. Arranged by Han Shizhong, Li Xiang tried his best to find all kinds of assistance, and finally appeared one by one.
Fang Tianding was about to order the army to attack in a big way, when he saw a scout running over in a hurry, and it turned out to be a messenger sent by Xu Bai who was separated by dozens of miles of mountain roads in the northwest.
"The three thousand officers and troops in Anji County suddenly gathered, putting on a posture of defending the city with all their strength and going out of the city to fight at any time."
"Zhao Zhiqiang, who took over all the township soldiers, hunters and big families not long ago, left the east gate of Anji County and pressed towards my camp at the foot of Phoenix Mountain."
"I thought that the officers and troops in the Anji Valley wanted to see our army to death and not let our army reinforce Deqing County. Dare to ask what happened in Deqing County? What should I do? ”
After Fang Tianding finished reading Xu Bai's secret letter, he was also confused: Deqing County is fighting lively, and Liu Chengdong doesn't want to break the siege! What kind of medicine is Li Xiang selling, not to ask for help, but to make people see Xu Baibu in Anji Valley to death?
Either the Anji Valley in the northwest, or somewhere in the north and east of Deqing County, something will happen. Li Xiang obviously couldn't rely on the strength of the mountains and forests to rescue Liu Chengdong, so the officers and troops over there in Huzhou would definitely make a big move, so big that the Anji Valley, which is separated by a large area of mountains between Huzhou and Deqing County, must fully cooperate!
Fang Tianding's bright light flashed in his mind, and he understood that there was something wrong, he slapped his forehead, "I saw that there was no movement in Huzhou before, so I didn't care about it anymore, and I was a chess player." If there is no movement, it is the strangest place! ”
"Liu Chengdong is so capable of fighting, nailed to my Yongle Chao's waist for a few months, and has made outstanding contributions, how can Han Shizhong ignore it?!"
"Even if you look like it, you shouldn't be completely motionless. It's a mistake, it's a mistake, and I don't know what the Great Zhou Army will do......"
Several generals who accompanied Fang Tianding didn't dare to interject, so they could only listen to Fang Tianding's judgment worriedly.
To be on the safe side, Fang Tianding only sent half of the manpower originally planned to continue the attack on Deqing County, and the other troops were on standby.
Ying Ming's side quickly received Fang Tianding's strict order: watch the mountains and forests to the death, and pay attention to any movement of Li Xiang!
Suddenly, there was an urgent report of the highest level. When Fang Tianding learned what was happening in the southeast of Huzhou, he almost couldn't support his body.
More than 80 miles away, a Chinese army of Han Shizhong was dispatched from Huzhou, steadily approaching the Wufubu camp in Hefu Town.
Wu Fu naturally sent an army out of the camp to intercept it. However, the next series of changes in the battle situation made him immediately send the fastest scout to contact Tianding.
The mountain range between Deqing County and Huzhou City is very distinctive, and the eastern edge is almost attached to Huzhou City in the north and Deqing County in the south.
Twenty-five miles southwest of Huzhou City, Miaoxi Town stretches out a mountain range to the north and east, stretching out to Huzhou City like scissors.
The town of Myosai is where the scissors meet.
At the end of the day, a large Zhou Xiang army with a number of nearly 4,000 people suddenly set off from Miaoxi Town to the east. After passing through the mountains, the 4,000 Great Zhou troops appeared directly behind the flanks of Wu Funa's troops, forming a flank attack with the 3,000 Great Zhou troops.
Wu Fu was so shocked that his heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly took the elite of 1,700 people out of the camp gate, but received an urgent report that a large number of Great Zhou troops appeared more than ten miles to the north.
After the victory of the battle with Wu Fu's subordinates, the Great Zhou army with a total of 7,000 people escorted the car and ship and quickly moved south along the ridgeline, revealing the purpose of the army: to relieve the siege of Deqing County!
Wu Fu, who lost the first move, did not have the confidence to eat or block the 7,000 Great Zhou troops who were going south with all his strength when he resisted the Great Zhou army in the north, so he had to send someone to tell Fang Tianding the general battle situation and let Fang Tianding make his own decision.
Wu Fu himself endured the diarrhea, and led the three horses in the camp behind him who still had combat power, and lined up majestically. Although he is very unwell now, not everyone can pass him!
Fang Tianding took the urgent report sent by Wu Fu, his hands were trembling, "Wu Fu only sent more than 2,000 people, and it was useless to harass the 7,000 Great Zhou army along the way!" In those towns on the road, the people sent out can only be young and strong with the army, and they are not of great use. ”
"It's just that today's dysentery is rampant in the Wu Fu Department, and most of the soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness, otherwise how could they let the seven thousand Great Zhou troops go south?!"
"The center of gravity of the recent battlefield of my Yongle Dynasty is east of Taihu Lake and south of Shaoxing, otherwise how can I have a few more elites and tens of thousands of regular soldiers under my command, and I don't have to worry about the seven thousand Great Zhou troops coming to disrupt the situation. But they all got together! ”
On the city wall of Deqing County, the cheers of the soldiers shook the sky.
Fang Tianding looked up and saw that it was Li Xiang who made a move!
Three huge blue Kong Ming lanterns flew out of the mountains and forests, bringing Li Xiang's message to the soldiers of Liu Chengdong's department: The time has come, evacuate immediately!
Liu Chengdong laughed proudly, "Hahaha! No matter how much you can fight, you are also a brave husband, not as good as a finger of the old son-in-law! ”
"Let the people evacuate first. The people helped the army of the country to defend the city for so long, and there were many casualties, I Liu Chengdong owed them! ”
"Soldiers of the National Dynasty, do you dare to stay at the end with me Liu Chengdong and fight with Fang Lajun in the end?"
When he was young, the city wall sounded with a warm shout of "give Fang Lajun another lesson".
After Fang Tianding received the news that the north city gate was opened and it was the people who came out, he didn't want to take the initiative to create chaos, so he didn't send troops to intercept it.
Fang Tian's halberd was turned around by Fang Tianding.
Fang Tianding thought to himself: "Han Shizhong seems to appreciate Li Xiang and Liu Chengdong very much, and he actually made a bloody rescue. ”
"The current situation is not good, if I insist on intercepting the withdrawal of Liu Chengdong's troops, Li Xiang's troops and the 7,000 Great Zhou troops heading south may not be weaker than me. What's more serious is that if a big war breaks out in the county seat of Deqing......"
"Anji Valley and Hefu Town will definitely be involved, and it will evolve into an early decisive battle between the Yongle Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, my Yongle Dynasty was in the northwest of Hangzhou, and it was in the dilemma of empty troops. ”
"If Han Shizhong sees the emptiness of my Yongle Dynasty, wouldn't it?"
When Shen Shi was about to end, Fang Tianding, who was entangled in his thoughts, watched Liu Chengdong, the great enemy of the Yongle Dynasty, flee from under his nose into the mountains and forests.
At that time, Fang Tianding had just climbed the city wall of Deqing County.
