Chapter 153: Sending troops to the county

Chen Hu sent 30,000 troops to fight in the vertical and horizontal mountains, while Shangjun County only left more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, and these 10,000 soldiers and horses were infantry.

Having learned the lessons of the previous encirclement and suppression of bandits, the army sent by Chen Hu this time brought all the heavy weapons used in the siege, and the cavalry in front opened the way mightily, and some of the rogues who were not in a hurry to retreat died under their iron hooves.

Chen Hu's only record is to exterminate Qingyunzhai, but now it is different from the past, at that time, Qingyunzhai committed public anger, and there were local powerful forces such as the Liu family recruited troops and horses, used as cannon fodder, and the county and county worked together, and the officers and soldiers moved forward bravely, and the most important thing is that Qingyunzhai has Su Yi, a "traitor", and at the critical moment, he copied the old bottom of Qingyunzhai, and a fire made a lot of thieves mess up.

Chen Hu's arrogance not only made the powerful forces in Shangjun County dissatisfied, but some of the big men in the Zongheng Mountain Range were also wary of him, and since Chen Hu exterminated Qingyun Village, he has become more and more high-profile, and he often sent troops to recruit various cottages in the Zongheng Mountain Range.

In order to prevent Chen Hu's arrogance from becoming more and more arrogant, once Chen Hu sent troops across the mountain range, many cottages in the mountain range would unite, just like when a group of bandits and bandits rescued Qingyun Village.

Su Yi put out a chair and sat quietly on the training ground, the sunset gradually set, Su Yi's eyes also looked at the exit of the cottage, he was waiting, He Kui sent back several pieces of information before that Chen Hu would send troops in these two days, and he was also gambling, betting that Chen Hu would send a large number of soldiers and horses into the mountain this time for the sake of shame.

"Report! The night under the command of Leader He is not withdrawn. "A messenger came running.

Su Yi hurriedly stood up and ordered, "Let him come over quickly." ”

The news that was not received at night made Su Yi happy, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Shangjun County entered the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges in a mighty manner, and as soon as they entered the mountains, they wantonly killed the Liukou, and there were already several cottage ambushes to ambush the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County.

Su Yi stood on the training ground and said loudly: "Pass my order, the army will attack Shangjun County, capture and kill Chen Hu, and loot the treasury!" ”

"Capture and kill Chen Hu and loot the warehouse!" The bandits shouted frantically.

Su Yi began to issue combat orders, "Qian Leopard and I, together with me, led a thousand cavalry to contact Wang Biao first, Gao Heihu's eight hundred wrestlers were on standby outside the city, Scar led eight thousand cavalry as a response, responsible for patrolling, in case there were reinforcements to support Shangjun County, Meng Hai and Fang Jing followed with 10,000 archers as a raid force, Liu 13 and Li Goudan led 10,000 sword and shield soldiers to charge in formation. Remember, the purpose of our troops this time is not to capture the county seat, but to storm the city and loot the grain and armory of the upper county. ”

A group of thieves suddenly received the order, Su Yi left Zhang Hongsheng and others to watch the house, and brought a thousand strong and thousands of carts to carry the spoils, and the group went to Shangjun and killed the county.

Soon, Su Yi led Qian Leopard and Gao Heihu to Wangjiazhuang with 1,800 men and horses.

Wang Biao has been waiting for me to see through it.

"Brother Han, you're finally here." Wang Biao was wearing leaf scale armor, holding a spear, and a horse chopping knife hanging from his waist, standing majestically at the gate of the village, and he showed joy when he saw Su Yi and others.

Su Yi said with a smile: "I originally thought that in a few days, when the soldiers and horses of Shangjun County and the subordinate villages of Baihu Village were inseparable, I would send troops to capture Chen Hu, but I still have important things to do, and I am afraid that I will stay in Youzhou for a long time and delay my business." ”

Wang Biao smiled bitterly, thinking that it was the right thing to capture Chen Hu now.

"Brother Wang, has the city been arranged?"

Wang Biao glanced at the people and horses brought by Su Yi, although there were less than 2,000 people, but among them, 800 wrens were holding wolf fangs and giant sticks, all of them had hideous faces, and at first glance they were bloodthirsty troops of a hundred battles.

"Brother, Liu Gongzi and others have already bought off the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and they will light torches on the city when the time comes, and then open the city gate......

Su Yi frowned and asked, "Brother Wang, you didn't reveal the news of this matter in advance, did you?" If Chen Hu knew about our plan, I was afraid that we would set up an ambush in the city. ”

Wang Biao shook his head, leaned in front of Su Yi, and said in a voice: "Brother Han, rest assured, the Liu family and other family forces are all in the city, and the wind and grass in the county town can't hide from them, so Chen Hu thinks he has military power in his hands, so he doesn't take them in his eyes, as everyone knows, there are local forces in every place, the relationship between these local forces in the city is complicated, the sources of intelligence are far more than Chen Hu's, and their customers and private soldiers are also raised in the city, as long as we enter the county seat, they will stand up and surround the county seat first." ”

Su Yi's eyes flickered, he always felt that something was wrong with this matter, although Chen Hu's ability was mediocre, he had also fought in the south and north for more than ten years, although the relationship network in these places was complicated, but the manpower was also messy, in case Chen Hu planted eyeliner in these families, I was afraid that tonight's news would reach Chen Hu's ears.

This time Peach Blossom Village sent troops, Su Yi was equivalent to bringing out half of the troops of the cottage, and the cavalry and sword and shield soldiers were the elite of the cottage, especially the eight hundred wrecks of Gao Heihu, and the cost spent on equipment was enough to equip a bandit army of 10,000 people.

Although there are only more than 10,000 garrisons in Shangjun County, and Xiangyong and Minzhuang are also dispatched to transport grain and grass, the more this time, the more Su Yi can't relax, once he is ambushed by the officers and soldiers, the foundation that Taohuazhai has worked so hard to lay will come to naught.

Wang Biao's father is already old, and he naturally disapproves of Wang Biao's move, but Wangjiazhuang's weapons and armor are all in Wang Biao's hands, even if Wang Laozhuang does not agree, Wang Biao can't help it.

Anyone with a discerning eye in Wangjiazhuang can see that the position of the owner of this village may be Wang Biao in the future.

Wang Biao took out 2,000 brave villagers and 4,000 servants, all of whom were originally tenants, farming on weekdays and practicing in their spare time. Su Yi looked at the four thousand tenants, and couldn't help nodding, Wang Biao really had some talent, and he actually implemented the tuntian system in the small Wangjiazhuang.

These 6,000 men and horses are already most of the armed forces of Wangjiazhuang, and they are also the bargaining chips for Wang Biao to compete for the position of the owner of the village in the future.

"Brother Han doesn't need to say much." Wang Biao saw Su Yi's thoughts, and said: "Then Chen Hu is the henchman of all the powerful forces in our upper counties, Brother Han can send troops to help us get rid of this person, Wang is already grateful, I may take advantage of Brother Han in weekday trading, but this matter is very important, so I will naturally go all out." ”

Su Yi nodded and stopped talking, Wang Biao took the initiative to act as the vanguard and marched to the county, while Su Yi's troops followed behind Wang Biao and the others, all the way to the county.
