278. The thief is like fire and is in danger (3)

"In the Zhegao River, King Hengtian suffered a big loss from that Yu Youhu."

Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, staggered on his horse, and the news made him laugh.

Lao Hui Ma Shouying also laughed, but he was a little sad in it, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Eight kings, you count, in a year, how many of our thirteen families have suffered a big loss in the hands of this guy!" If this guy is not removed, sooner or later it will be a trouble! ”

"It's a big trouble now, but the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, if we can defeat Lu Xiangsheng, we can gain a firm foothold in Jianghuai, at that time, it is still difficult to clean up a Yu Youhu who only has a few hundred families?" Zhang Xianzhong clapped his hands: "Besides, let's ...... now Aren't you just going to that guy's hometown? Last year, I was expected to burn his house once, and I heard that he built it again, so let's burn it again this year! ”

When he said this, Zhang Xianzhong's face floated with a trace of cruelty, last year's defeat made him regard it as a great shame, if it weren't for Yu Guozhen's several times to ruin his good deeds, he could have beaten Nan'jing last year!

They passed under the Tong' city in a big way, and there were no preparations for the siege of the city, and Yang Erming saw this scene at the head of the city, not only did not have joy on his face, but showed worry.

He is not afraid of the Liukou attacking the city, this year, he put half of his energy on how to consolidate the city defense of Tong's city, if the Liukou attack Tong' city again, he is confident that Zhang Xianzhong will hit his head here and break the blood.

But the rogues passed through the city, ignoring him, and deliberately passing by here, as if they had come to him to show off their might and warn him not to act rashly!

This really scared him, the total number of officers and soldiers in his city was only 2,000, plus a few thousand people, and the number of thieves was definitely more than 100,000!

The thief recruited rebels in the Yinghuo Mountains, and he actually saved so many troops, where is the goal of his trip?

Thinking of this, Yang Erming couldn't help but look to the east. At this time last year, he joined forces with Yu Guozhen to break the alliance of the thief and the old Huihui and the king of Chaotian, although the two were separated, they admired each other, he was younger than Yu Guozhen, so he called him a brother.

I don't know if Brother Jimin can ...... this time As soon as he thought of Yu Guozhen, Yang Erming suddenly shook up!

Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Huihui came out of Yinghuo Mountain, and the two of them hated nothing more than Yu Guozhen. When they re-enter Anlu, how will they let Yu Guozhen go?

"I heard that Brother Jimin was newly defeated by the King of Heaven in Zhegao, and his family ...... His home is now afraid that there will be no one to guard it! ”

Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Hui returned to Yinghuo Mountain, definitely not out of travel, they want to meet with the thieves in Chuzhou, then the nearest road, of course, is through Tong City, Lu River, Wu Wei, Chao County, including Mountain, and County , this way to the past! And along the way, because of the need to defend Lu's state, almost all the troops were transferred by Shi Kefa, and those county towns were at most the same as his Tong' city, with two thousand soldiers and thousands of strong people, and they were powerless to stop the thieves and the old return!

"Yang Jiao, come here, you hurry up and come over to Master Ben!" Yang Erming screamed suddenly.

A thin man ran over with a smile: "Master, what do you command?" ”

"Send a letter to Master Ben."

"It's a trivial matter, sir, where is it given to the city?"

"Get out of town!"

Yang Jiao's face suddenly became bitter, and he shook his head again and again: "If the master thinks that Yang Jiao can't wait for people, he just kills the small one, why send the small one to the thief." There are millions of thieves outside this city, and the small one is not the Mighty Bull Demon King beside Yu Youhu, who can kill seven in and seven out of a million thieves......"

"Master, I have a big reward!" Yang Erming snorted: "Last time, you stole the Annan preserved fruit sent by Brother Yu, I haven't settled the account for you, master, this time you can do it, at least give you five taels of silver!" ”

"Ten or two won't work, sir, the little one is going to sell his life."

"Seven taels, if you say one more word, the master will throw you directly down to the city!"

"Okay, seven taels is seven taels...... I said master, you are not as generous as Yu Gongzi, the last time the villain sent a letter to Yu Gongzi, he rewarded it with ten taels ......"

The Ding nagged, and after receiving the letter, he went to Beicheng, of course he didn't dare to send the letter from under the nose of the rogue, but chose to take a detour. Yang Erming looked at the thief army that was still stretching under the city, and his eyes were full of worry.

I hope it's still too late...... Brother Yu, Brother Yu, did you expect this?

When Yang Erming was worried about Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen was laughing.

"These rogues, sure enough, dogs can't change their." He looked at the rogues who rushed out triumphantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Because of the news of the siege of the city, the villagers in the surrounding villages have either fled to other places to escape the fighting, or have been slaughtered by the rogues, and if they want to gain any more, the team of rogues must go further away.

Judging from the road they chose, Yu Guozhen should have led to Shimiao Village, which was nearly twenty miles away.

The number of thieves in this team is not much, that is, more than 600 people, Yu Guozhen glanced at Tian Boguang beside him: "What do you think?" ”

"Six hundred...... The thieves also underestimate us, and 600 people is not enough for us to charge. Tian Boguang also sneered: "Look at your subordinates, you will eat if you eat it!" ”

Yu Guozhen nodded: "You go and gather people." ”

Tian Boguang left as he said, and Yu Guozhen stood alone in the woods on the hill, and raised the telescope in his hand again.

He has a limited number of troops, and every guard is extremely valuable, so he must be cautious in every battle and strive for nothing to be missed.

There is no movement in Chu'zhou City in the distance, and Liu Dagong, the governor of Chu'zhou Prefecture, only took office last year, and this talent is limited, but Li Juesi, the imperial servant, has some talent, but Li Juesi's strength and courage are a little smaller. This is the evaluation of the two principals in the city in the information given to him by Gao Erzhu. But fortunately, Fang Kongzhi has arrived, although his position is below Li Juesi, but the officialdom is old, and Li Juesi can be appeased.

As long as you can keep the seven days...... There should be no problem.

Yu Guozhen is not an expert in history after all, he knows some historical figures and general historical trends, but he can't grasp the specific historical details. Especially as he becomes more and more involved in the general trend of history, the direction of some things has completely deviated. Therefore, he was not sure whether Chu'zhou could hold the Seventh Day.

In the binoculars, there seemed to be something strange about the leader of the Rogues.

The leader of this group of rogues is the Jumping Tiger, he is only a small person among the thieves, and he has these six or seven hundred people under his command, but he is the henchman of the King of the Reincarnation. His subordinates didn't know the true purpose of the trip, but the Jumping Tiger knew that he would definitely not be willing to do such a risky thing if it hadn't promised him great benefits.

Rao is like this, when others are smiling, he still looks worried.

"Why is the palm plate like this, all the brothers have to go to Lehe, your appearance is very unlucky."

A henchman next to him saw it and said with a smile. The rogues are all old brothers, and sometimes they don't talk to each other with dignity or humility.

"You know a fart, cheer up our old man, if you don't want to die, be careful of the surrounding situation!"

The jumping tiger shouted and drove everyone forward. Of the six hundred men he had brought with him, there were not many knights, but there were dozens of carts, and the thieves sat on them, singing little songs and grimacing, and went all the way east.

"It's strange, if you go to plunder, you should bring more cavalry, instead of so many carts, it looks like you're going to transport baggage ......"

Noticing these cars, Yu Guozhen's heart suddenly moved.

The thief gradually moved away, and Yu Guozhen also withdrew from the other end of the forest, and he got on his horse and galloped away.

Not long after Yu Guozhen and the thieves left, suddenly more than 1,000 horsemen and thieves scattered in all directions, wandering and patrolling everywhere, expanding the scope of reconnaissance to ten miles outside the thief camp. After a while, about 2,000 horsemen and thieves poured out again, led by the King of the Reincarnation.

He twisted his beard, sneered and turned around: "I see that Cao Ying is also careful, and I have to send people around to check if there are any spies in that house, and the drama is very good!" ”

"Hold the plate, be careful, be careful, we won't suffer anyway." His men said.

"Don't talk nonsense, Cao Ying said that as long as the stone temple is killed, then Yu Youhu will not be able to bear it. Let's catch up, don't get there, only our brother's corpse remains. ”

"How is that possible, since our brothers are prepared, they will not be eaten so easily by the surnamed Yu. We can't smash it, and we can't bite it, and the hammer can't be flattened! ”

Hearing what his subordinates said, the King of the Changed World nodded: "That's right, the surname Yu is just a young tiger, the jumping tiger is a fierce tiger, the two tigers are fighting, how can it be so easy to lose!" ”

The two thousand of them were all cavalry, and many of them were transferred from the rest of the Liukou, so to speak, the most elite troops of the Liukou.

In the Liukou camp, King Gao Yingxiang received the news that the King of Reincarnation had attacked, and his eyes froze: "Whether we can catch that disgusting fly or not, we can't stop here...... Cao Ying, Ge Liyan, and all the brothers, let's start attacking the city! ”

"Siege!"

Zhujia Kou Qu suddenly howled, they were frustrated in Lu'zhou, and they gnawed a piece of meat for Yu Guozhen in the Zhegao River, and they had already held back a fire in their hearts.

One after another, the arrows were sent out, and on Chu'zhou City, the camp of the Liukou Company, which was originally like a coiled snake, could be seen to begin to move. One by one, the gates opened, and then, like pustules bursting, a stream of variegated people poured out. They began to line up outside the city of Chuzhou, and all kinds of siege equipment, from ladders to goose carts, from rockets to artillery, were all pushed outside the city.

Fang Kongzhi took a breath, it seems that the thief has not been affected too much by Yu Guozhen.

"Brother Qianfu, what do you think is going to happen now?"

"Why should the servant be humble, to be honest, before this, the lower officials were indeed a little worried, but after arriving in Chu'zhou, the lower officials were relieved." Fang Kongzhi said with a smile: "Since the Tai Servant Qing took office, he has added firearms and repaired trenches, and his plans are very far-reaching, and the lower officials really admire them. ”

Li Juesi was a little proud, he was afraid of death, so after the thieves disturbed Anlu last year, he thought of a way to force the Chu'zhou magistrate to buy firearms, and even a general surnamed Xu from the Shenji Battalion in Nan'jing was also sent by Du Hongyu, the governor of Jiangfang. The officials of Chuzhou only saw him fill his pockets when he bought firearms and repaired the city wall, but they did not see how far-sighted his preparations were!

While the two were talking, the thieves began to approach Beicheng, and obviously, Beicheng, where the two of them were located, became the first target of the thieves.
