Chapter Ninety-Six: Zuo Liangyu's Advance Army

"Tang Guerrilla, don't worry, it's no accident that so many officers and soldiers appear here, I'm afraid that it's not just more than 10,000 officers and soldiers who come, maybe these are just their vanguard troops, there will definitely be more officers and soldiers behind them, but I don't know what the purpose of their coming here is, you first take the soldiers to the hillside over there and hide, and after I and Master Zhang and others ask clearly and paralyze this group of officers and soldiers, your cavalry will rush out from both sides, so that you can also be surprised, wouldn't it be better?"

Gu Xiaoyuan intuitively felt that this group of officers and soldiers was very likely to be aimed at the Han army in Kuizhou, but she still wanted to confirm. Moreover, if the first sign of the cavalry is hidden, it can also reduce the vigilance of these officers and soldiers, but this is a bit risky, and Tang Guerrilla is a little hesitant: "Miss Block, isn't this too dangerous?" ”

"What's the danger, you rush from the hillside to this side for no more than half an hour, and we are all in the carriage, you leave dozens of brothers pretending to be servants to guard the left and right, when it is really dangerous, we can escape first, and then you will chase you from behind, I am afraid that the effect will be better!"

Blocking Xiaoyuan said and said: "Since we want to fight, we must be annihilated, if we let the follow-up officers and soldiers know, I am afraid that it will cut off our back road!" ”

"Okay", Tang Zhicai had heard many veterans of the Han Army mention that although Miss Plug was a woman, she was like Zhuge reincarnated like Yang Gongzi, no matter what bad situation she encountered, she could find a fighter and turn decay into magic, counterattack and win in one fell swoop. Now seeing that Du Xiaoyuan said this so clearly, he had to follow it.

In fact, this official army was the advance officer army sent by Zuo Liangyu to Jingxiangyi to loot food.

Zuo Liangyu didn't think that the little Han thieves would dare to appear in his own territory, and even if he did, he believed that his 10,000 advance troops would be enough to deal with it, and he could even let these 10,000 advance troops bite the Han thieves to create a fighter plane for him to lead soldiers to besiege.

Of course, the main task of his advance army is to scavenge grain, after all, it is uncertain whether the Han thieves will appear in the border of Jingzhou, but although Jingzhou, the main grain-producing area, has been looted several times, countless grain and grass can still be scavenged, especially the caravan passing through the Jingjiang River and the Yangtze River is the source of his military supplies.

This advance left army was led by Zuo Menggeng, the young marshal of the left army, but the actual commander was Jin Shenghuan, the general of the left army. Zuo Mengeng followed the advance army to loot not to loot grain and grass, his main looting object was beautiful women, and by the way, he also fished for military merits, after all, there would be no danger in bullying and bullying ordinary people or caravans.

At this time, the scouts of the left army had appeared a hundred paces away, and some scouts tried to attack the Han army scouts who were pretending to be servants, but they were all inadvertently shot in the head by the Han army scouts. However, this left army did not slow down its advance because of this, on the contrary, when its main general learned that there was only a caravan ahead, he led the officers and troops to speed up and run forward.

"A caravan that can have such sharp firearms is definitely not an ordinary caravan, young master, I'm afraid, we are going to make a fortune this time!" After hearing that someone in the caravan in front of him could shoot someone with a firearm hundreds of steps away, Jin Shenghuan said to Zuo Mengeng even more excitedly.

Similarly, Zuo Mengeng was also excited and inexplicable: "Maybe there are still stunning women, I don't know, General Jin, you have to say hello to the brothers later, don't hurt those women by mistake." ”

"That's nature", Jin Shenghuan smiled, but in his heart he was very disdainful of this ugly, incompetent and unmanly young master.

"Prepare for it!" After blocking Xiaoyuan to speak, the cavalrymen of the Han family army dressed as servants immediately pulled the trigger and prepared to shoot with the carriage as a cover, but at the same time, blocking Xiaoyuan helped Zhang Youcai to the front: "Uncle Zhang, be careful?" ”

"If there is really a stunner, haha, my Zuo Mengeng is really worth the trip today!" As soon as Zuo Mengeng saw Gu Xiaoyuan and Zhang Youcai coming out, he got up and immediately rode his horse over, but was immediately stopped by Jin Shenghuan: "Young master, don't act recklessly, this caravan has firearms in all hands, if you rush over, you may be beaten into a sieve by them!" ”

"Marksmen prepare, cover the firearms battalion from the flanks!"

Jin Shenghuan gave the first order as he spoke, he already knew that the firearms in the hands of these caravans were sharp and had a longer range than his own firearms, so he had to let the marksmen cover the advance of the musketeers first, so as to reach the range of his own firearms. Of course, he could actually use artillery to bombard first, but seeing dozens of carts full of goods, he was not willing to destroy these goods with one shot, and even if he was willing, he was afraid that Young Master Zuo would not agree.

"Oh", Zuo Mengeng retreated stupidly, but even if he retreated, he still stared at Du Xiaoyuan while dripping and said: "General Jin, let them all be careful, don't hurt her, Young Master Ben has touched a woman for several nights." ”

Jin Shenghuan was speechless, but he still agreed.

"Miss Du, you are as bold as your son, and the old man is scared out of a cold sweat, how is this good?" Zhang Youcai trembled with fright when he saw a large group of officers and soldiers in front of him pulling bowstrings and holding arquebuses towards this side.

"Zhang Yuanwai, please rest assured, you don't have to talk later, I will take the camera to strain", Du Xiaoyuan said and walked over calmly and shouted: "The little girl is the daughter of the Changsha prefect Du Yinxi, because she and the old man Zhang Bo went to Shuzhong to buy food and passed through Guidi, but I don't know which adult is in front of her, why do you want to surround the road in front of the little girl?" ”

"General, it's a young lady from an official family, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary caravan," a garrison in front of him came back and said to Jin Shenghuan.

"Miss Eunuch? It's the first time I've seen the eunuch lady who is still in danger in front of the army", Jin Shenghuan said and glanced at Zuo Mengeng, who was riding on horseback and looking at Zuo Mengeng in front of him, and then ordered: "You go and tell them that we are the imperial army that killed the Han thieves, and their grain has been expropriated by us, let them give up resistance, otherwise the thieves will be dealt with with the thieves!" ”

"It's really aimed at our Han army", Du Xiaoyuan muttered to herself, and then shouted loudly: "Although it is said that it is the duty of our people to reward the royal division, this grain is the military food ordered by the governor of Fengyang Ma, please forgive me!" ”

"General, it's Ma Shiying's grain caravan, you see?" The guard came back and said.

Jin Shenghuan smiled coldly and said, "No matter what the origin of this caravan is, let's rob these grains and grass first!" ”

"The left army did not use artillery, but only let the archers escort the formation, it seems that they really only think that we are just sharp firearms, and do not know that we still have more than a thousand cavalry hidden", Du Xiaoyuan said with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to shoot!" After the first round of firing, half of the fighters were left to delay the left army, and half immediately escorted all personnel to the west! ”

Soon after Du Xiaoyuan said, the soldiers of the Han army immediately opened fire on the left army camp in front. A series of iron bullets poured away, and in an instant, countless soldiers of the firearms battalion of the left army fell to the ground, and when Jin Shenghuan reacted and hurriedly asked the marksman to counterattack, Du Xiaoyuan and others fled with more than a dozen carriages, and the remaining half of the soldiers also immediately rode on their horses and maneuvered at will while dodging the rain of arrows in the sky, while shooting at the left army.

"Miss Du, this is the grain we sold to Jiangnan, wouldn't it be a pity to lose it like this?"

"It's a pity that this army can't be taken away."

"It's not good, they ran away, General Jin is chasing after it!" Zuo Mengeng saw that Xiao Yuan and the others were leaving in the car, and immediately urged Jin Shenghuan impatiently.

"Young master, we have looted the grain, and it is useless to chase it again", Jin Shenghuan didn't finish speaking, Zuo Mengeng chased him out first, Jin Shenghuan had to shake his head when he saw this, and the only one in the army who acted as a scout led the five hundred cavalry to lead three thousand elite soldiers to chase after Zuo Mengeng.

But just when Zuo Mengeng and the others and Xiao Yuan's convoy disappeared into a hill in front of them, there was a rumbling sound all around.

"There are cavalry!" Jin Shenghuan immediately became vigilant and hurriedly shouted: "Send someone to call Young Master Zuo back!" ”
