Chapter 242: Soldiers are coming to the city

This military conference did not discuss any good results, because everything that should be done has already been done. On the contrary, the issue of Huaiyuan Village was raised again. Anhua was just a mess before, not a rebellion, so what to do, there will be a few bottom lines. As the saying goes, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future.

An Huaman knew that no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to beat the Song Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty had a vast territory and millions of soldiers and horses, and it really went too far, angering the huge empire of the Song Dynasty, and destroying Anhuaman was only a matter of minutes!

It's not the same now that he is the king, if he continues to keep Shen Qizong and others stationed in Huaiyuan Village, will he be defeated by An Huaman one by one? Even if he retreats, if Anhua chases and fights fiercely, dare to say that he can retreat with his whole body?

Meng Fang and Zhang Hanyang still meant to withdraw their troops conservatively. Shenji and Mengchong were neutral in this matter, and did not say that it was good, nor did it say bad, but just said that everything was based on the opinion of the prince. Peng Rui is still tough on holding every inch of the country, not giving up!

Zhao Yu thought about it, and finally reluctantly ordered the people and military gates in the area of Huaiyuan Village to retreat to Longshui City. Let Meng Chong be in charge of water transportation, Peng Rui in charge of land guards, and Meng Fang and Feng Shenji in charge of preparing and relocating people's houses and food.

On June 4, Anhuaman occupied Huaiyuan Village. The wavering Jincheng Prefecture announced that it would join the 'Righteous Army', and Feng Changqi named the Jincheng Prefecture Thorn Shi Luo Wild Wolf as the Marquis of Jincheng and the General of Qinglong. Immediately afterwards, he ordered the prefectures to send troops and horses to gather in Huaiyuan Village. At the same time, Shenghuai Yuanzhai is in the line, and the mind of eyeing Yizhou has been unobstructed.

In addition, Feng Changqi also sent people to lead troops to harass Guanzhou and Rongzhou. As a result, many fields in the two places were burned with grain. The pressure on the local government has increased dramatically.

Fortunately, 500 soldiers and horses from Yongzhou also arrived. The troops were led by Li Guangzhong and Chen Yixin, commanders of the garrison forbidden army.

Zhao Yu did not arrange for them to be stationed in Longshui City, but asked Li Guangzhong and Chen Yixin to lead the troops to camp in Yishan. Yishan is located in the northeast of Longshui City, and can overlook the entire Longshui City from a high vantage point. It can be said that whoever gets Yishan will have a great advantage in this offensive and defensive battle.

How could Zhao Yu ignore such a battleground for soldiers?

In order to show his attention to Yishan, Zhao Yu also personally went to Yishanqi to inspect.

On 10 June, 1,000 soldiers and horses were sent from the direction of Guizhou, most of them newly recruited. However, Guangnan West Road is poor and bad. Most people can hunt and dare to fight. Therefore, although it is a new soldier, there is no problem in using it to defend the city.

On June 11, the recruits had just arrived, and the scouts who were monitoring Huaiyuan Village sent an urgent report, and An Huaman in Huaiyuan Village seemed to be preparing to send troops tomorrow, because he had already begun to set up altars and bring cattle and sheep, which meant to sacrifice to the sky. Usually it is just to worship the sky, but now it is this time of the year. If you want to say that you are not preparing to send troops, who will believe it?

At this time, there were already 3,000 people in Longshui City. Zhao Yu is also a lot more confident. Eight hundred Yizhou troops, five hundred into the Guang Forbidden Army, one thousand recruits, four hundred Xiangyong recruited in Yizhou, and three hundred soldiers sent by Hot Spring Prefecture, a total of 3,000 people! This is not yet calculated, the five hundred Yongzhou forbidden troops stationed on Yishan.

On 12 June, Anhuaman officially dispatched troops and marched by two routes. Of course, the waterway is not a giant ship, but an ordinary bamboo raft. But even so, the mighty fifty or sixty bamboo rafts sailing on the water surface of the Longjiang River still make people feel a sense of immensity.

It is not clear how many soldiers and horses An Huaman came this time, but An Huaman is known as an army of 100,000. This amount is naturally mixed with water, but there are still 20,000 horses. After the scout inquired, he reported a vague number, between 30,000 and 40,000.

On the morning of 13 June, an Anhua barbarian army of about 3,000 people slaughtered near Yishan.

Yishan is only three miles away from Longshui City, how could Song Jun not notice it at this distance?

"Lord Wang, let the last general lead people to rush at him for a while, so that these An Hua barbarians know the power of my official army!" Peng Rui looked at An Huaman in the distance, and said to Zhao Yu eagerly.

After Zhao Yu looked at An Huaman carefully, he shook his head and said, "No! ”

Peng Rui was devastated and said depressedly: "Why can't the prince? Although the vanguard of Anhua Man has 3,000 men and horses, it is poorly equipped, you see! There are still people with bamboo guns! The body is wearing animal skins, and the better ones are leather armor, and even the iron armor is difficult! ”

"That's why they're not afraid of death, they're all like this, so why not if they can get rich?" Zhao Yu said slowly.

Peng Rui's complaint came to an abrupt end, and there was a little more indescribable jealousy in his eyes.

After a pause, Zhao Yu instructed Zhao Yingwu beside him: "Go to the watchtower to play the flag, and let Li Guangzhong and Chen Erxin not act rashly." ”

Zhao Yingwu promised and immediately ran to the watchtower to play the flag. It didn't take long for Yishan to return to the banner and obey the order!

It didn't take long, that is, about half an hour, for an army of thousands of men to come from the west.

Peng Rui said with palpitations: "Fortunately, I didn't go out to rush into battle, I didn't expect that the distance between this Anhuaman's forward and the Chinese army was so short, it was only half an hour's journey!" ”

Zhao Yu took the opportunity to knock and said, "It's good to know!" An Huaman is not a fool, it is impossible to kill Zhang Huaizhi if he is a fool! ”

Peng Rui nodded seriously at this time and began to officially settle down.

Looking at the city head, Zhao Yu took a look at the situation of the Anhua barbarian army. Although there are many people in Anhuaman, they are also very chaotic, which also has a lot to do with the fact that Anhuaman is called the founding of the country, but in fact it is just a loose alliance. After a long time, tens of thousands of troops began to set up camp, and when the camp was set up, it was already night.

"A rabble!" Zhao Yu said a little speechlessly.

"It's a pity that there are too many people! Even if it is a pig, the scalp that is afraid of killing is numb, and the arm that is cut off is dislocated, it may not be able to be killed! Peng Rui said with a headache.

Zhao Yu said: "Let's go! Go back to Yamen, there is nothing to see at this time! ”

Just got off the city wall, Zhao Yu unexpectedly bumped into Yan Shiliang.

Zhao Yu asked with a surprised expression, "How did Yan Zouma get to Yizhou?" ”

Yan Shiliang smiled bitterly: "I sent a few documents to let the prince go to Guizhou to sit in the town, but the prince refused." The slave and maid were very frightened in Guizhou, afraid that the prince would make a mistake and the official would blame him. I thought of a stupid way to invite the prince back in person! ”

Zhao Yu couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "The major events of the military family are fleeting, and it is safe to sit in Guizhou, but the question is how this battle is fought, but this king does not know." When he arrived in Guizhou, he was like Yan Zouma thinking about the king in Guizhou, and Yan Zouma also knew that kind of taste, so it! Yan Zouma should be considerate of this king, or Yan Zouma will also stay in Longshui City? ”

Yan Shiliang's face turned pale when he heard this, and his voice trembled a little and said, "Lord Wang! Don't play slave or girl, okay? The son of a daughter can't sit down! When you arrived in such a dangerous place, after the official family found out, the slaves and maids were very miserable! Lord, you should take pity on the slave! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head very firmly and said, "Yan Zouma should know the duty of the official family to let this king enter Guangnan West Road. This king's fortune comes from the people, how can he covet security in the rear? ”

Yan Shiliang said with a sad face: "So...... It's so troublesome for the prince to arrange a place for the slaves and maids to live here! ”

Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this. I can't imagine that Yan Shiliang, a eunuch, still has such courage! "Yan Zouma, do you know what you're talking about?"

Yan Shiliang was also frank, did not deceive, and said: "The prince has made a mistake here, and the official family cannot ask for the head of the slave and maid." Instead of hiding behind and being afraid, it is better to follow the prince! Even if something goes wrong, if you want to come to the prince, the slave can also go. If the prince can't leave, what's the point of the slave and maid even if they are in Guizhou? ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Yan Zouma to have such a side!" It's okay, Ah Wu, you go back and clean up a yard and let Yan Zouma move in! By the way, Yan Zouma brought a slave? Do you want to arrange a few? ”

Yan Shiliang hung his head and said, "It's good to arrange a maidservant!" The only request of the slave is to hope that you will take care of your whole body! ”

Zhao Yu reached out and patted Yan Shiliang's shoulder, and said with a vague smile: "Got it!" ”

Back at the yamen, Zhao Yu arranged for the duty again, and Zhang Hanyang will keep vigil tonight. Meng Chong took the temporarily formed sailor to the north bank of Longjian and stationed on the north bank of Anhuaman.

Theoretically, nothing major happened that night.

However, there was still some due harassment, the Song army beat gongs and drums on the head of the city, and hung black-clad scarecrows with ropes, pretending to send dead soldiers out of the city.

Although An Huaman was frightened and didn't get a good night's sleep, Anhuaman simply sent a team of 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack with gongs and drums. The two sides come and go, so it's not lively.

However, this is a bitter thing for the people in the city, and the soldiers still know about this and have been prepared for a long time. Even if you don't know, there are veterans who teach. But the people in the city were so frightened that they didn't get a good night's sleep, and they hid behind the wooden doors with sticks and knives nervously one after another, while their wives and children trembled and nested in the corners, shivering.

When Zhao Yu got up the next day and patrolled on horseback, he found an interesting situation, in broad daylight, the streets were almost empty. asked Zhao Yu to look strange, and let the soldiers knock on the door of a family, and then he knew the situation. It turned out that almost all of them didn't sleep, and now they naturally make up for it during the day.

Coming to the west city wall, Zhao Yu could already see Ma Yu standing there. Although he had been keeping watch all night, Ma Yu still straightened his waist.

In the distance is the large camp of Anhuaman, which stretches for several miles. Smoke rose into the air, and when I looked at it from a distance, there was the illusion of a hundred snakes dancing wildly.

Ma Yu naturally didn't look at the scenery here, but wanted to estimate how many soldiers and horses Anhuaman had from the number and size of the cooking smoke.

PS: Chapter 2 is here! Eight thousand erupted today, okay? The debts are paid!

However, Mu Mu still promised here that he would continue to break out tomorrow! No less than seven thousand words! Ask for referral votes for support! (To be continued......)
