Chapter 308: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
As soon as dawn broke, there was a lively scene outside the gate of Yejiabao, and more than 3,000 people from the beggar gang had already arrived from the capital overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe beggar gang arrived a day earlier than Su Can's expectations.
This made Ye Shaolong very heartwarming, but then he understood why the beggar gang came so quickly. According to the words of the helmsman of the capital, it is.
There was no place for the beggars in the capital, and the foreigners and the Japanese not only closed the whole city, but also searched all the deliberate people from house to house.
Originally, the foreigners and the Japanese were not targeting the beggar gang, but to find the little emperor, but the day before yesterday, they suddenly began to target the beggar gang and all the martial arts people.
The beggar gang suffered a lot of damage in this foreigner's investigation, and many members of the gang were still locked up in prisons, looking for them or not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
After listening to the rudder's story, Su Can was furious on the spot, and after flipping over the table and throwing things, he wanted to take the beggar gang disciples back to the capital, and let out those arrested gang disciples.
Ye Shaolong knew very well that Su Can was no different from sending Jingshi to death at this time. The foreigners are full of guns, and you have nothing in a beggar gang, so what is the difference between going empty-handed and sending them to death.
To put it mildly, it took a lot of saliva to persuade Su Can to calm down. In order not to let Su Can be stimulated by any more, Ye Shaolong first asked the iron tower to take the helmsman down to arrange the beggar disciples who came to Yejiabao.
Then he said to Su Canyan: "Big brother, don't worry, this foreigner and the widow also know that your beggar gang is close to my Yejiabao, so he started thinking about the beggar gang." But you don't need to rush to fight with them, if I am not wrong, tomorrow, tomorrow they will press my Yejiabao army. ”
"Are you so sure?" Su Can stared at Ye Shaolong, his eyes full of doubt.
"Big brother is waiting in peace!" Ye Shaolong didn't explain too much.
Since the last time the Japanese envoys touched a nose of ash here, according to their urine nature, if they don't send troops to besiege Yejiabao as soon as possible, there are really ghosts.
The fact is that it is often surprising that the army of Japanese and foreigners did not come to besiege Yejiabao tomorrow as Ye Shaolong expected. Instead, the army will be overwhelmed on the same day!
The afternoon sun was at its fiercest, and the nursing home on duty on the gatehouse was drowsy with the sun in the air. The captain did not dare to relax in the slightest, and would personally come to inspect every other hour. By the way, I would like to remind those nursing homes that are not on duty because the temperature is too high.
At this moment, the team suddenly saw the team of men and horses appear in the line of sight of the team. At the end of the only road that can be entered and exited in Yejiabao, a group of soldiers can be seen hurrying against the sun above their heads.
When the captain saw that the people who came were foreigners and widows, a loud roar burst out of his mouth: "Inform the young master, the enemy is coming." Everyone cheered up Lao Tzu and prepared the cannon. ”
Under Ye Shaolong's strict orders, Yejiabao had been fully prepared from the morning, so when he learned that the foreigner coalition army was coming, he was not in a hurry.
Ye Shaolong and Su Can, as well as many martial arts people, all stayed in the school field that temporarily served as the garrison of the army. After learning of the arrival of the enemy, Ye Shaolong immediately ordered the army to march and take the courtyard of the Three Thousand Ye Family Fort to the gatehouse for defense.
Su Can and more than 3,000 beggar gang disciples and those martial arts people went headlong into the dense forest on the left. The disciples of the Beggar Gang are not suitable for confronting the foreigners alliance head-on, according to the results of the discussion between Ye Shaolong and Su Can.
The martial arts people represented by Su Can's beggar gang disciples and the Guangdong Ten Tigers all had to climb the high mountains of Yejiabao, go around to the back of the foreigners' army, and give them a front and back attack when the time comes.
When Ye Shaolong ascended the gatehouse, the army of foreigners had already set up camp five miles away from Yejiabao.
Ascending high and looking into the distance, Ye Shaolong glanced at the gatehouse, and the army of foreigners all came into his eyes. On both sides of the road, which stretched for more than two miles, it could be seen that the foreign soldiers were resting in the shade of the trees on both sides of the road.
Traveling in such high temperatures is obviously very physically exhausting. The army of foreigners obviously set off from the capital early in the morning, and according to the distance, they should have not even eaten lunch, so they have been hurrying to reach Yejiabao at this time.
The iron tower stood beside Ye Shaolong, and at this time, he saw those foreign soldiers staggering to rest under the shade of trees on both sides of the road, smashing his mouth and muttering: "It's a pity, if Brother Su and they can arrive at this time, they will have to make a sneak attack in secret, and they will have to suffer heavy casualties." ”
Ye Shaolong turned around and denied the conjecture of the iron tower: "Under the sun, it is not easy to make a sneak attack work. Besides, these foreigners must be very vigilant when they first arrive, and the gains of sneak attacks under such circumstances outweigh the losses. ”
"What does the young master mean?" The tower was stunned.
Ye Shaolong smiled and said incomprehensibly: "Wait, it seems that these foreigners will not come to attack Yejiabao for a while, let everyone have a good rest, and leave some people on duty." It's time for the evening! ”
After Ye Shaolong finished speaking, he left the gatehouse with his hands behind his back, there was no shelter on it, and it was in a high place, under the direct scorching of the sun, the temperature was terrifyingly high.
After just standing for a while, Ye Shaolong was already sweating profusely. He also saw that the foreign army would obviously not come to attack at this time, so there was no need to defend it in person.
The tower hurriedly arranged the things that Ye Shaolong explained, and also caught up with Ye Shaolong's footsteps. After thinking about it carefully, he could more or less guess what the young master meant by what he said just now.
Come to think of it, the night must be the time when Su Can and them sneak attack, if he didn't guess wrong, then it was indeed a good show to be staged.
It's only afternoon, and it's still a long time before the sun goes down, so he should have a good rest for tonight's good show.
The army of foreigners was indeed as Ye Shaolong expected, not only did they not mean to attack, but also began to bury the pot and cook. It can be seen from their loose formation that they did not take Yejiabao close in front of them to heart.
And in the handsome tent of the foreigner army, at this time, the leader of the Japanese and the foreigner quarreled. The person who led the army was Sakata Yitian, who had suffered a loss from Yejiabao.
He knew very well how powerful Yejiabao was, and as soon as he arrived at the location, he strongly advocated that he should be fully prepared. But the generals of the foreigners are not the same thing, in his opinion, a small Yejiabao is more than 5,000 people today, as long as the army is rested, a charge can take Yejiabao.
The status of the Japanese in this coalition was not high, so in the end, Sakata was unable to convince the foreign generals. Looking at the loose and unguarded appearance of those soldiers, Sakata always had an ominous premonition in his heart.
