Chapter 211: Niu Fu fights

Mi Sheng understands very well what it means for Mi Ren to stay by Zhang Xiang's side, so he specially offered a heavy gift, Zhang Xiang has not seen the world since he was in his early years, he has seen many good things.

But Mi Sheng's heavy gift made Zhang Xiang very moved, because Mi Sheng's heavy gift was not a thing, but the salt road was also a channel for the Mi family to buy private salt, and it was also the foundation of the Mi family's survival.

The private salt of the Mi family is sea salt! Among the types of salt, it is also the best grade, and salt is also an indispensable thing in the lives of ordinary people, so all dynasties and dynasties regard salt very seriously, and Zhang Xiang certainly understands the importance of this salt road.

As long as there is this salt road, it is equivalent to one more way to make money, Zhang Xiang can be different from the Mi family, the Mi family is just a small fight in Zhang Xiang's eyes, if Zhang Xiang does this business.

The private word of private salt can be removed, if the supply is sufficient, Zhang Xiang is sure to become the biggest injury, salt can be called platinum on the water, its value is immeasurable, Zhang Xiang is not a stingy person.

Most of the children of the Mi family practice martial arts, after all, the business of private salt is also dangerous, since this gives the Mi family ten Du Bo positions, and the Du Bo of the Bingzhou army can manage fifty people, these should be very practical for the Mi family to gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou.

Dubo's military position is indispensable in the army, Dubo and above are hundreds of generals, and it becomes completely different with a general, so Dubo's position can be promoted exceptionally.

The Mi family is naturally grateful, Zhang Xiang's vanguard army took Quanzhou City, and when Gao Ran caught up, Quanzhou City had already changed hands, and Gao Ran didn't know how Zhang Xiang took Quanzhou City.

But Gao Ran knew that he was going to lead the army, and Long Ben won a county town in front of him, even if Ju Yi Tianfeng didn't dispose of him, Yuan Shao still had to dispose of him, and Yuan Shao took the territory very seriously.

What's more, it is still a county seat, there have been changes on Gaolan's side, Ju Yi has to transfer troops to Gaolan, although Gaoran's troops are many, but it is still very difficult to capture the county seat where the Bingzhou Pioneer Army is stationed.

If you want to succeed in the siege battle, you have to be at least three times as good as the enemy, not to mention that the general vanguard army is elite, and Zhang Xiang started with military merits, so naturally this is even more so, and Ju Yi has to be careful.

Although Ju Yi trusts Gao Ran very much, but Gao Ran has already lost after all, it is better to be cautious, Zhang Xiang will not worry when he enters Quanzhou City, and Zhang Xiang will let him surround the city.

Zhang Xiang wanted to see how many troops he could transfer from Ju Yi Tianfeng, but when the Gao Lan reinforcements arrived, Zhang Xiang was very disappointed, and there were far fewer soldiers than Zhang Xiang expected.

Zhang Xiang is also strange, Ju Yi is arrogant Zhang Xiang knows, could it be that Tian Feng has also changed his character, and besides, Ju Yi's arrogance is only limited to himself, when did he look so highly high.

Not to mention Zhang Xiang, Gao Ran was very strange, the number of reinforcements surprised him, this is too little There are only 5,000 reinforcements, this is just a joke, Gao Ran originally had more than 20,000 people.

Counting some of the dead and wounded and some auxiliaries, plus the soldiers who were stationed in each county, Gao Ran's able soldiers and horses were only more than 15,000 people, what does Ju Yi mean by these 5,000 reinforcements.

After Gao Ran inquired, he realized that he was wrong to blame Ju Yi, who originally sent 20,000 troops to support, but in the end he was detained by Tian Feng and gave some new instructions.

Gao Ran still attaches great importance to Tian Feng, and Tian Feng's letter is very clear, asking Gao Ran to block the four gates of Quanzhou City from the outside and trap the vanguard army of Long Ben in Quanzhou City.

Tian Feng's meaning Gao Ran also understood, that is, the siege and siege of the city as a supplement, Gao Ran knew very well the difficulty of blocking the city gate from the outside, Gao Ran only thought of the way of building soil to block the city gate from the outside.

In this way, there are many kinds of wide shields in the Gao Ran army, otherwise the casualties in the process of building the soil will not be less, and the next day Gao Ran besieged Quanzhou City, and the four gates attacked together, I don't know if I think it is a novice?

But as one of the four courts, Zhang Xiang did not dare to underestimate that Quanzhou was built on a waterway, so the city wall was not high, which was a disadvantage, and because of this, there were many rolling stones and sassalwoods in the city, and there was also a small amount of fire oil.

The oil was not sold, which also shows that the local county order here is still good, if it were some corrupt officials, the oil should have been gone long ago, and the oil is different from the rolling stone and wood.

The oil is very expensive in various places, and the oil in Zhang Xiang's army is purchased with a lot of money, Zhang Xiang has long seen the county order in Quanzhou, and he looks very similar to Hang Tong is a good man.

It is enough for this kind of person to have one Hangtong, so Zhang Xiang did not specifically recruit it, and now it seems that this county order is also usable! When Zhang Xiang decided to leave, he also took this county order with him.

The Mi family has a big business, and Gao Ran came in a very timely manner, so the Mi family was also trapped in Quanzhou and did not leave, the Mi family can be said to be tied to Zhang Xiang, and the Mi family had to ask Zhang Xiang for orders to participate in the war.

However, Zhang Xiang did not agree, Zhang Xiang would not let others participate in the battle unless he had to, and the Yuan army under the city did not seem to pose a threat, and the soldiers besieging the city marched very slowly.

There seems to be something on them, although Zhang Xiang doesn't know what it is, but he instinctively feels that it is definitely not a good thing, Zhang Xiang's vanguard army is elite, and his archery skills are good.

The upper close-range archery is very accurate, although the Yuan soldiers have a shield to guard, but there are many gaps, especially in the city, and the state vanguard army has shot arrows, so that many Yuan soldiers were injured.

Shields are still useful, at least to reduce casualties, but wounded soldiers may be more effective against the defenders, since a person who is injured needs to be cared for at the least.

Yuan's soldiers were already quite slow, and now the speed is even slower, but Yuan's army doesn't seem to be in a hurry, Zhang Xiang doesn't know if they are here to attack the city, until Yuan's army reaches the city.

Zhang Xiang saw clearly what they were carrying turned out to be sand, and Zhang Xiang was even more strange There is no trench in Quanzhou City, so what are you doing with all this sand? However, Yuan Jun's soldiers immediately gave Zhang Xiang an explanation.

The soldiers of Yuan rushed to the city gate, and the vanguard army naturally returned fire with rolling logs and stones, but the soldiers of Yuan did not care, poured the sand and soil at the city gate, and then immediately hid under the shield.

At this time, Zhang Xiang finally understood Yuan Jun's intentions, Zhang Xiang didn't have to guess to know that the situation of the other three gates was almost the same, Gao Ran wanted to trap himself in Quanzhou City, Gao Lan's approach proved one point, that is, Zhang Xiang's existence has not yet retaliated.

Otherwise, Yuan Jun would not have chosen to besiege, which was good news for Zhang Xiang, since Yuan soldiers risked their lives to block the city gate, Zhang Xiang's men would not be polite.

The fire oil arrows kept falling on Yuan Jun's head, and the rolling stones and sassal wood were no longer usable, at least not at the city gate, otherwise they would have helped Yuan Jun, although Bingzhou fought hard to shoot.

In two days, the Yuan army still blocked the four city gates, and the Yuan army also stopped attacking, and Zhang Xiang could not open the city gates from the inside, so the piles of sand and soil that had been piled up would fall inward.

At that time, the city gate could not be closed, and only Yuan Jun was cheap, Zhang Xiang learned a trick from Gao Ran, Zhang Xiang rarely encountered this kind of dilemma, Gao Ran deserved to be a famous general.

Since the Yuan army did not attack the city, Zhang Xiang simply ordered the soldiers to pour water on the mound outside the city gate, so that it would become mud soup, and there would be no problem with a little water.

But the water poured more, and the sand mounds outside the city gate became less and less, Gao Ran had no choice but to continue to build soil, but this time the soil Yuan Jun was mixed with a lot of stones, which can be regarded as eating a trench and growing wise.

Both sides finally competed with the four mounds, but Gao Ran didn't know that in this process, Wei Ran had already left Quanzhou City from the waterway, and Zhang Xiang put his hope on Wei Ran.

If Wei Ran died, Zhang Xiang could only accept his fate and stay in Quanzhou, anyway, there was no shortage of food or drink in Quanzhou City, and Zhang Feng and Cheng Yu would not sit idly by and watch themselves in Quanzhou City, after Wei Ran left Quanzhou City.

finally escaped the blockade of Yuan Jun, but found another problem, Zhang Xiang told Wei Ran the location, there were no spies in it at all, and Wei Ran could only come by himself without spies.

Wei Ran's people are not to spread the news, although the Jizhou army occupies Youzhou, but it is still dominated by foot soldiers, and Bingzhou is just the opposite, as long as Wei Ran spreads the news, he can let the cavalry be transferred from the direction of Bingzhou.

The reason why Zhang Xiang did not choose to lead troops from the frontal battlefield was that he was afraid of startling the snake, Zhang Xiang decided to transfer troops from Bingzhou, Zhang Xiang didn't expect that Wei Ran would not be able to find a spy, in fact, Zhang Xiang also knew nothing about eyeliners.

Therefore, Wei Ran couldn't find anyone, Wei Ran could only go back to Bingzhou or Daijun by himself, because he had a letter written by Zhang Xiang in his arms, and Wei Ran could also mobilize the Bingzhou army by himself.

But Wei Ran doesn't have a war horse by his side now, and he can't rely on two legs to hurry! In the end, Wei Ran found a donkey from a village, how can a donkey be stronger than two legs! Wei Ran could only comfort himself like this.

Wei Ran rode a donkey on the road with tears, from the beginning of the war, Yang Xu was widely distributed in the whole territory of Youzhou, Wei Ran riding a donkey was naturally discovered by Yang Xu, at first Yang Xu thought that Wei Ran was separated from the army?

After all, Wei Ran followed the vanguard army, and the vanguard army has been running around since Zhang Xiang took over, sometimes Yang Xu's eyeliner is lost, and it is normal for some to run away, but Wei Ran walked back.

Yang Xu found out the problem, if the soldiers were scattered, they would return to the nearest friendly army, which Wei Ran would not know as a general, but Wei Ran was bent on rushing back.

This is already suspected of desertion, if it is someone else, it is possible, Wei Ran's background Yang Xu is very clear, to be precise, Yang Xu, a general at the rank of lieutenant colonel, is clear.

What's more, Wei Ran is still Zhang Xiang's township party, and Yang Xu attaches more importance to it, so Yang Xu sent some spies to contact Wei Ran, and Wei Ran didn't care, in fact, it wasn't that Wei Ran didn't care, but Wei Ran didn't dare to trust them.

This matter is very important to Wei Ran, so there must be no sloppiness, Wei Ran will not hand over Zhang Xiang's letter to a stranger, and Wei Ran's approach has attracted Yang Xu's attention.

Yang Xu was sure that Wei Ran must have something important, Yang Xu decided to go in person, when Yang Xu found Wei Ran, Wei Ran immediately handed over the letter to Yang Xu, Wei Ran didn't know anyone else, but Yang Xu he knew.

Yang Xu knew that it was Zhang Xiang's letter as soon as he saw the handwriting, except for Zhang Xiang's characteristic, no one else could write it, Yang Xu saw the content of the letter, and he didn't dare to delay Zhang Xiang's big event.

Immediately transferred the general Niu Fu from Bingzhou, Niu Fu's Liangzhou army did not participate in the battle of Youzhou because of poor military discipline, and Zhang Xiangxin wanted cavalry, Yang Xu could only think of Niu Fu.

The cavalry also needs to be trained, otherwise it will not be able to form combat effectiveness at all, the main cavalry has been sent to the Youzhou battlefield, and the elite cavalry that can be used now is only the Liangzhou cavalry of Niu Fu.

Besides, Niu Fu also has an elite Flying Bear Rider under him, which is a cavalry comparable to the Wolf Tooth Rider! Niu Fu received the order, and he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately dispatched troops.

This is the first time Niu Fu has fought since joining the state army, and he feels that his face is dull if he can't fight well! The status of the state army depends on military merit, and only with military merit can it be respected by the soldiers.

Niu Fu is deeply aware of this, and Niu Fu is also a brother-in-law with Zhang Xiang, and the eyes of the army are staring at him, if Niu Fu is not good in this battle, I am afraid that he will be drowned by the spittle star.

At this time, Niu Fu didn't know that it was Zhang Xiang who rescued this time, if he knew that Niu Fu was probably going to set off immediately, the name of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was not in vain, and there were not many cavalry in the entire state that could be comparable to the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.

After all, most of these cavalry under Zhang Xiang are newly formed, but there are also some drawbacks, the iron cavalry is good at battlefield fighting, and long-distance running is not the director of the Liangzhou iron cavalry.

So the speed is relatively slow, when Niu Fu and Wei Ran converged, they knew that it was Zhang Xiang who was trapped in Quanzhou City, Wei Ran didn't have Yang Xu's eyes, and what he thought was also very superficial.

There was no concealment at all, fortunately Niu Fu had no second thoughts, otherwise Zhang Xiang would be really dangerous, Niu Fu immediately ordered a rapid march, Niu Fu chose the same choice as Yang Xu to block the news and keep silent.

By the time Tian Feng received the news, it was already too late, Niu Fu's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was already close to Quanzhou, even if Tian Feng sent someone to inform Gao Ran that it was too late, Gao Ran could only rely on himself.

Gao Ran didn't have any spies from Yuan Jun around him, only scouts in the army, scouts could only probe the news from a short distance, and when the scouts saw the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, it meant that Niu Fu and the others were already very close.

Gao Ran could only be forced to meet the enemy, fortunately, Gao Ran's Yuan army was prepared to guard against cavalry, otherwise it would really be helpless, and at this time, the soldiers of Bingzhou also came out from the other three gates.

During this time, Zhang Xiang dug three tunnels in the other three gates, so the soldiers of the state who entangled Yuan Jun were also foot soldiers, but the result that Zhang Xiang wanted to see was enough to isolate Gao Lan.

It doesn't matter what the battle situation of the three gates is, Zhang Xiang immediately sent someone to clean up the city gate facing Gao Lan, as long as the city gate is opened, Long Ben Zhou Cang is killed, Zhang Xiang doesn't believe that Gao Ran can escape. (To be continued.) )
