Chapter 20 The Situation is Critical
At noon, in the city of Chen Shizhen, a large number of defender soldiers under the command of Ai Nengqi were gathering on the city wall, waiting for the scorching sun of early spring, guarding against the attack of the Yangwu army outside the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the open space at the northern corner of the city, a large number of displaced people were gathering there, all of them were displaced people and ordinary people who had fled from the surrounding villages and towns before the siege of the Yangwu army.
With the attack of the Yangwu army, nearly 20,000 people and more than 10,000 troops frantically poured into the city of Chenshizhen, which covers an area of only a few square kilometers, there are not enough houses and houses to accommodate these soldiers and civilians, so they have to be crowded in the open space in the corner of the city.
"Big brother, you said that this Yangwu army is still fighting or not, it has been here for a few days, except for the first day of fighting, there is no merit in the city!"
At the edge of the crowd, a burly man with a thick beard and a burly figure squatted in the corner of the wall, muttering softly to the man in green clothes next to him with an unhappy expression.
The man in green clothes beside him was eight feet long, well-proportioned, and looked younger than a bearded man.
Since the Yangwu army arrived in Chenshi Town three days ago, except for Wei Bai, who had just sent the Longwei array to pick up the Ainengqi army, he had not launched another siege battle, but had retreated three miles and began to stand in place, looking ready for a stalemate.
This can make this thick-bearded and bearded man so anxious, they have a chance if they don't fight!
"What's the hurry! At present, there are nearly 30,000 defenders in this city, and the Yangwu army outside the city is only more than 20,000 people. ”
Looking at the bearded man who was muttering dissatisfaction like a child, the man in Tsing Yi patiently explained to him.
Although his brother seems to be vicious and has the power of ten thousand people, he is not familiar with his mind and does not know how to use his brain when encountering problems.
"It's going to get moldy any longer!"
Regarding the explanation of the man in Tsing Yi, the bearded man was still dissatisfied, and continued to mutter.
Seeing this, the man in Tsing Yi shook his head helplessly, stopped speaking, and quickly turned his gaze, stopping at the group of people in front of them on the right.
At the foot of the city, dozens of meters away from the two of them, several men were quietly squatting there with their eyes closed.
Although there are only 7 of these men, they are all powerful and powerful, and they look calm, and they don't look easy to mess with.
The people and displaced people around them were faintly afraid of them, and they left a distance of nearly 3 meters around them, not daring to get too close to them.
Looking at the group of people opposite, a hint of thought flashed in the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi.
This group of people is not simple!
Although the sitting posture and position of these people seemed to be arbitrary, the man in Tsing Yi could see at a glance that they were faintly surrounding the young man in the plain cloth robe in the middle.
Moreover, when a group of blinding gangsters wanted to trouble this group of people yesterday, the lightning shot of the big man next to the cloth-robed young man also made him remember it vividly.
This kind of skill may not be much inferior to their two brothers.
This cloth-robed young man can have such a skilled master as a guard, his identity must not be simple, and he must have a plan hidden in this Chen Shi Town, maybe they may still have a time to cooperate.
Just as the man in Tsing Yi was pondering, perhaps sensing his gaze, the cloth-robed young man had also opened his eyes and was also looking at him intently.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment before looking away.
This cloth-robed young man was Sima Yu, and the few people beside him were Yue Xi, Wu Song and several brocade guards.
After occupying Changshuiqiao Town, when Sima Yu received the news that Ai Nengqi was gathering the armies of the surrounding villages and towns that Jinyiwei had discovered, he immediately led a team of Jinyiwei to move forward after discussing with Xu Shu and others, dressed up all the way, pretending to be the people of nearby villages and towns to take advantage of the chaos to mix into Chenshi Town.
In order to hide people's eyes, Sima Yu did not take the burly and special-looking vulture and A Huinan with him, only Wu Song and Yue Xi accompanied him, and a team of 200 brocade guards who came together also mixed into the city in batches.
The group had been lurking in the city for several days, in order to cooperate with the follow-up Yangwu army to take Chen Shizhen.
At this time, a man at the corner of the city wall in the north of the city hurriedly walked over and walked straight in the direction of the group of people.
This man was dressed up by Xiao Sa, a hundred households in Jinyi.
"Childe, this is the news sent by the military advisor!"
Xiao Sa quickly came to Sima Yu's side, quietly handed a small note to Sima Yu's hand, and said in a low voice.
"Whew! After squatting for so long, my body is almost stiff, go, go out for a walk! ”
Sima Yu silently accepted the note, then patted his ass and stood up, walking outside as he spoke, and Wu Song, Yue Xi and others quickly got up and left behind him.
Before leaving, Sima Yu couldn't help but turn around and glance at the man in Tsing Yi.
Similar to the feeling of the man in Tsing Yi, Sima Yu always felt that the man in Tsing Yi and the bearded man were not simple, at least the strength was definitely not bad.
The group swaggered and swayed through the streets of Chen Shi Town all the way, and walked around for more than half an hour before finally entering a tea shop.
This tea shop is a secret stronghold set up by Jinyiwei in Chen Shi Town, which has been set up in the city several months ago, and is responsible for collecting intelligence information under the entire rule of Ainengqi.
After entering the tea shop, Sima Yu quickly came to an elegant room and took out Xu Shu's letter to watch it.
Since the Yangwu army did not besiege the city or attack the city, the atmosphere in the entire Chen Shi town was not tense, and pedestrians could be seen walking on the streets from time to time, and even the north gate with the back of the Yangwu army was still open and not closed.
Xu Shu can also be easily teleported to the city.
Looking at the message from Xu Shu, Sima Yu's brows suddenly wrinkled deeper and deeper.
On March 14, the second year of the Great Controversy, 100,000 troops of Pakistan appeared in Yunwu Mountain, preparing to attack Wushi Town, after receiving the news, Changshi Guoyuan immediately sent Qin Liangyu to lead the white pole army to resist, and at the same time ordered to stay on the south bank of Changshui Lake, Huchuquan and Cheriji led the army to support, and Qin Liangyu was controlled.
On the afternoon of the same day, Jin Yiwei once again sent back the news that a barbarian tribe in the depths of the mountains 20 kilometers away from Xiangjia Town was even larger than the Aoshan tribe and attacked again, targeting Jiazhen. Guoyuan has sent Shi Dan to mobilize 3,000 garrison battalions to garrison, and most of the sailor battalion under Yu Dayou has also been dispatched to coordinate the garrison.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the garrison battalion is not strong, and it may be difficult to hold on to the garrison battalion with 5,000 soldiers who have not been on the battlefield.
Moreover, judging from the information obtained by Shi Gu Changfeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who stayed in Qilin City, there were already people in Qilin City who had colluded with Ai Nengqi and were ready to take advantage of the situation to make trouble.
The last point is what Sima Yu is most worried about.
Now the army of Pakistan in the east and the barbarian army in the south are attacking at the same time, this is obviously not a coincidence, someone must be fighting against the Yangwu army.
And the person who made the attack was most likely from the hand of Ai Nengqi, who was now leading the army to attack, maybe there were also surrounding Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and others involved, even the Qing army that had retreated was also possible.
In the case of such an expedition of a large army and being attacked from both sides at the same time, if the Yangwu army is in chaos first, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe and cause huge losses to the entire Yangwu army.
Therefore, at present, it is necessary to maintain internal stability in order to be able to calmly deal with the army of Pakistan and the army of barbarians.
At the same time, this side must also speed up, only by solving Ainengqi as soon as possible, can the Yangwu Army draw troops to return to reinforcements and deal with the unknown dangers in the future.
"Quickly send someone to convey the message to the military advisor!"
After thinking silently for a while, Sima Yu, who had made up his mind, quickly wrote a letter to Xiao Sa, asking him to immediately send someone to Xu Shu's hands.
"Yes!"
Xiao Sa quickly took the order and left.
"Lord!"
Looking at Sima Yu's heavy expression, Yue Xi and Wu Song on the side couldn't help but ask with concern.
"We've got to get up to speed! Be sure to take down Chen Shizhen as soon as possible! ”
Sima Yu waved his hand when he heard this, and said in a deep voice with a determined expression.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Boom~"
With the sound of dense footsteps, a huge army slowly appeared outside Wujiabao on the border of Chen Shi County in the billowing dust and smoke.
On the dirt road outside Wujiabao, Wu Hua, the lord of Wujiabao, had already led a team of Wujiabao private soldiers waiting there.
"Wu Hua meets General Bai!"
Looking at the rolling army, Wu Hua immediately greeted him and bowed to the leading generals of this army.
Bai Wenxuan, known as Yugong, a native of Wubao, Shaanxi, has been herding sheep and farming since he was a child, with a large body and a lot of food, excellent strength, and a good nature to handle knives and sticks. In the early years, he fought with Zhang Xianzhong, and made many military exploits, and after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he served under Sun Kewang, and is now the general of the expedition to the east under Sun Kewang, the king of Daxi Qin.
This time, it was on the order of Sun Kewang that he led 20,000 troops to support Ainengqi and resist the Yangwu army.
"Lord Wubao, please get up! What is the situation in Chen Shizhen now? ”
Bai Wenxuan, who was straddled on the war horse, nodded lightly at Wu Hua, and after helping him up, he asked directly.
As one of the most relied on generals under Sun Kewang, Bai Wenxuan naturally did not attach too much importance to Wu Hua, the little castle master.
"General Huibai! The army of the Yangwu Army has been stationed outside the city of Chen Shi Town, and it has not sent troops to clean up Qinggang, Dashi and other towns, but also sent troops to attack Chen Shi Town, which makes people a little confused! ”
Wu Hua naturally didn't dare to get angry when he saw this, so he had to answer immediately carefully.
"Camped out of the city?"
Bai Wenxuan's brows couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he was puzzled in his heart.
What does this Sima Yu want to do?
However, Bai Wenxuan was not overly entangled in this, and while sending people to send sentry agents, he continued to lead the troops to Chen Shizhen after a short rest outside Wujiabao.
