Chapter 52: Defeat is like a mountain

Li Zhenggu still stood still, and still sent troops out to patrol every day to spy on news. ___bar_w=w-w'.

Wu Yueguo's side did not react much, Qian Wenfeng seemed very calm, as long as he held Suzhou, it would be a great achievement to ensure spring ploughing. After getting the exact news, he still sent people to the Tang Army camp to redeem Fan Mengling, and the price proposed was not cheap, twenty pearls from the East China Sea, each of which was the size of a thumb.

In addition, there is a lot of gold and silver, at least enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime.

It stands to reason that Qian Wenfeng is like this, and Fan Mengling, as a staff member, naturally wants to be grateful to Dade, but Fan Mengling refused and still stayed in the Tang Army camp.

Yang Lian persuaded Fan Mengling, but Fan Mengling said that he had revealed the situation of Suzhou's preparedness to Datang, which was already disloyal. I didn't dare to go back to Suzhou, so I could only live up to Qian Wenfeng's kindness.

The two sides did not move troops for the time being, so the Soviet and Changchang fronts, compared to Fuzhou, were really safe and sound.

Time passed quickly, Yang Lian's injuries gradually improved, and the king of Qi got the news and sent people to send good herbs to treat Yang Lian's injuries. It is said that the lord of Huairou was very disdainful when he got the news. But a few days later, Yang Lian secretly got something from the county lord of Huairou County: including high-quality medicinal materials, two small bottles of rice wine, and so on.

After half a month of recuperation, Yang Lian's body was no longer in serious trouble, and he began to increase his training. During this period, the two sides were still scouts fighting, and there was no large-scale battle.

Yang Lian was a little disappointed, although he had long known the true meaning of His Majesty the Emperor's order for Li Zhenggu to go on the expedition, he still fantasized that he could achieve greater military achievements.

The time entered April, the weather gradually became warmer, and the Southern Tang army had been stationed for a period of time, and a lot of money and food had been consumed.

In the early morning of this day, after Yang Lian got up and exercised, he was about to return to rest, when Chen Tie hurriedly came and said, "Marquis Yu, Commander Zhou asked all the soldiers to gather." ”

Yang Lian's spirits couldn't help but lift, the soldiers gathered, did Li Zhenggu really want to fight? After all, with Fan Mengling's defense map, even if the number of soldiers in the fortress changes, in the short term, it is impossible for Qian Wenfeng to build more castles and fill the loopholes. If you plan carefully, it is still possible to achieve results.

Thinking of this, Yang Lian was full of fighting spirit, his body gradually recovered his health, and he had some experience against the enemy, Yang Lian was confident that he would achieve greater results.

At this time, the various school yards of the barracks were already crowded with people. Yang Lian found the territory of the 3rd Command Battalion.

According to the usual practice, the number of people lit by each fire, and then reported to the general Yuhou, and then reported to the capital head, and the capital head was summarized and reported to the commander.

Zhou Hongzuo stood on the high platform, stared coldly at the robe under the stage, and said: "By the order of the official, you go back to pack your luggage, go out tomorrow morning, and return to Jinling." ”

"What, turn to Jinling?" Immediately asked. What's going on? Before the troops have been sent to fight with Wu Yueguo, they are going to return to Jinling?

"There is no need to question the orders of this commander, I am sober and have not said anything wrong." Zhou Hongzuo said.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao glanced at each other and nodded lightly. It seems that the war in Fuzhou has already come to an end, and it has ended in failure. When the news reached Jinling, His Majesty was shocked, so Li Zhenggu was recalled.

Yang Lian didn't know what his guess was, after all, it was just a guess, and he couldn't say it. All he could do was pack his luggage and return to Jinling with the army.

This night, the Tang army camp seemed very quiet, the soldiers had already packed their luggage, went to bed in advance, prepared to get up on the fourth watch, and withdrew while Qian Wenfeng was not present. At the time of the third watch, Yang Lian woke up, woke up his subordinates, and after a hurried wash, the three armies packed up their things, took advantage of the night, and went north to Changzhou by moonlight.

The night was unknown, and most of the soldiers lit torches. Despite this, there are still some soldiers who can't see the road clearly, and finch eyes are still very common at this time. Ya_>> bar>>w-w=w-.- Even if the forbidden army has a good meal, there are still many soldiers who suffer from this symptom. In such a day, the soldiers with poor eyesight were behind, and the soldiers with normal sight opened the way in front and slowly retreated towards Changzhou.

Yang Lian's eyesight is normal, and Lin Renzhao and others are opening the road in front, in the night, everything seems very quiet, with Yang Lian's eyesight, he can even see the leaves shaking in the night, the surroundings are dark, in the distance, the bushes are gently shaking, and I don't know what is hidden inside?

Carefully along the way, I walked for about five miles, the sky was still dark, and when I counted the hours, it should be less than five watches. Yang Lian quickened his pace, and suddenly, the whole team became agitated, and then, someone shouted: "The enemy army has sneaked up!" ”

With the sound, the whole team became confused, most of the soldiers could not see the road clearly, but when they heard someone shouting, they inevitably panicked, and some people immediately rushed forward, messing up the formation; Some people even drew their blades, and because they couldn't see clearly, they began to slash indiscriminately.

However, after half a bang, the entire army became chaotic, Yang Lian, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Tie walked together, riding horses along the official road, and along the way, anyone with bad intentions was killed by the three of them. After walking less than half a mile, the shouts behind him became louder and louder, and it was always Wu Yuejun who had killed him.

At this time, Li Zhenggu didn't know where he was, and the entire army lacked command, Yang Lian said in a low voice: "Don't fall in love with war, go!" "I don't know how Qian Wenfeng got the news, ambushed the soldiers and horses in advance, and intercepted and killed the Tang army in the middle.

Lin Ren responded, and the three of them continued to run wildly, and there were also many Tang troops running wildly in front, and some people were fighting with the enemy, leaving a lot of corpses along the way, and the strong smell of blood could not be suppressed into the nostrils, which made people very uncomfortable.

Yang Lian ran and looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, in the dark night, an arrow feather came, and Yang Lian hurriedly raised the long knife in his hand and slashed the arrow feather off the horse.

"Where to go?" A Wu Yue soldier riding a war horse was killed, he saw Yang Lian, Lin Renzhao and others riding war horses, thinking that they were senior generals, but unfortunately the sneak attack failed, so he had to go into battle in person.

Yang Lian sneered, the long knife in his hand slashed out, the two of them crossed by mistake, the blades in their hands collided, and there was a crisp sound, Yang Lian only felt that his arm was numb, and he couldn't help but think that this person had a lot of energy. Don't dare to slack off immediately.

The man couldn't hit a blow, so he let out a "huh", twisted the dock, killed him again, and entangled Yang Lian to the death.

Yang Lian was furious, his body was just not long, although it was fine, but it still had some impact, if it was usual, he believed that he could kill the enemy. It's just that this is the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses being attacked, and if he doesn't understand how many people the enemy has, Yang Lian will never fight.

Yang Lianxun took out the spear behind him, and threw the spear in his hand fiercely while the man was chasing. The man was caught off guard, and when he reacted, he hurriedly crouched on his horse's back, and with a clear sound from his helmet, he was hit by a spear and flew out.

The man was taken aback, and when he looked back, Chen Tie waved the horse lance in his hand and killed him. The man raised his knife to meet him, and the blade made a crisp sound, and the man only felt that his arm was numb, and he was surprised that Chen Tie's strength was so great. Before he could react, Lin Renzhao also swung his knife to kill.

The three of them besieged Wu Yueren, but the man couldn't support it, so he shook his knife and retreated. Yang Lian took out the arrow feather and shot two arrows indiscriminately in the dark, but he didn't know if he had missed, so he slapped his horse and continued to escape.

This night escaped more than 100 miles, I don't know how many fights on the way, my arms are sore, when the sky is dark, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and more than 50 soldiers hid on the mountain, this mountain is not high, only more than 30 zhang, about a hundred steps in a radius, the left and right are full of dense forests. And there is only one exit, which can be firmly guarded with only a small number of troops.

The sun came out and shone on the top of the mountain, which made people very comfortable, and many soldiers squatted on the ground, with sad faces, looking like a dead father. Attacked in the middle of the night, I don't know how many robes were killed, and now, trapped here, people are sleepy and tired, if the Wuyue people get the news and surround this place, this group of people will have to explain here.

Yang Lian coughed, stood up, glanced at everyone, and said, "Get up, don't look sad, the big man will be suffocated to death by urine?" ”

A soldier who looked like a man looked at Yang Lian, stood up, and shouted, "What kind of position are you, dare to shout here?" ”

Yang Lian glanced at him, his eyes were fierce, and said, "Marquis Yu." "This person, dressed in the armor of the Tianxiong Army, naturally disobeys the people of the Shenwu Army.

"Haha!" The man laughed, pointed at Yang Lian, and sneered: "I thought it was a big official, but it turned out to be just a general Yu Hou!" Among you, there are still all heads, why are you a general Yu Hou pointing fingers here? ”

Yang Lian sneered and said, "You are all right, if you can lead everyone back to Changzhou, what does it matter if you hand over the command to you?" ”

When the man heard this, he pursed his lips and didn't speak, although he was the head of the capital, but he was helpless, but he was unwilling in his heart, how could he let a small general Yu Hou press on his head, thought about it, and said, "So, you have a way?" ”

"People always come up with solutions." Yang Lian said lightly.

"Hmph, waste, I thought you had something to do......" Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and when he looked back, Yang Lian had already punched him, and he had to swallow the remaining words hard, wanting to dodge, but Yang Lian's degree was very fast, he was still a step slower, and was hit in the jaw by Yang Lian, and several teeth spurted out.

"If you're disrespectful to me, that's what happened!" Yang Lian said coldly.

The man was furious, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, "How dare you hit me!" ”

"What if I hit you? At the beginning, Chen Decheng was beaten by me! Yang Lian looked at him coldly.

The man was taken aback, Chen Decheng was beaten, and the rumors of the Tianxiong Army were boiling, how could he not know? I heard that this Yang Lian is very powerful, but I didn't expect to meet him here.

"The people of the Shenwu Army, why should they control the people of the Tianxiong Army?" The man retorted.

"The army has been defeated, the commander is unknown, and the whereabouts of the two commanders are also unknown. For today's plan, it is how to return to Changzhou, and you, still here to care about the grievances between the Shenwu Army and the Tianxiong Army, it is really ridiculous! Yang Lian looked at him, his eyes had a hint of murderous intent, for this kind of rat that spoiled a pot of soup, it was necessary for Yang Lian to get rid of it.
