Chapter 129 Bu has been defeated into Jingshan, making a living and wanting to attack Fangling

When Bu had already rushed to the north of Xiangyang with the defeated troops, Guan Hai's troops were being suppressed by Huang Zu and others and retreating westward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but fortunately, it was not formed by the official army. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's too late to retreat. Their two forces were combined into one, and they fought and retreated.

Fortunately, Du Zhong heard the news and led the team to meet him, blocking Cai Mao and Huang Zu's offensive. But the siege has gone, Bu Ji and Guan Hai are both shrewd people, and if they don't see well, they retreat. They withdrew with their soldiers into the Jingshan Forest in the southwest of Xiangyang City.

Cai Mao rushed outside the forest and let out another long sigh: "Hey! Ran for them again! ”

"General Cai, don't worry. The enemy was defeated and fled, and this time he has entered the realm of Yizhou. It is said that tens of thousands of horses and horses of Liu Zhijun of Youzhou are guarding the pass. Liu Xun, a subordinate of Huang Zu, pointed to the distance and said, "As long as the general is stationed in Xiangyang, where will such thieves dare to come out?" ”

Cai Mao looked at Liu Xun, then at Huang Zu, and said, "Then I will lead the people of my headquarters and enter Xiangyang with my cousin." Wait for the thieves to come back, and then take them. ”

Huang Zu said goodbye to the Cai Mao brothers and Liu Hu, and led his generals to return to Fancheng.

In addition, Bu Ji, Guan Hai and Du Zhong retreated into the forest with a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and when they counted the soldiers under their command, they found that they had lost nearly sixty percent, and only more than 20,000 people remained. Bu had already knocked and mourned, and his face was full of sadness.

You know, if you want to build up power now, it won't work without soldiers and horses! Even if you are the king of the mountain, you must have troops!

Bu Ji, Guan Hai and Du Zhong sat on a big stone with their heads bowed and their heads drooping, and they had no idea for a while.

Suddenly, a soldier ran from the side, came to Bu Ji's approach, and whispered: "Bu Shuai (Bu has asked to follow the title of Qu Shuai, call him Bu Shuai; call Guan Hai as Guan Shuai; Call Du Zhong as Du Shuai), there is a valley in front of this called Fangling Valley. The valley is a basin with a radius of ten miles, and there are few trees in the basin, but it is a plain with a flat river. I don't know when a horse breeder appeared there. They built a castle there, and there were no more than a thousand armed men, and there were a lot of horses, not to mention more than 10,000. ”

"There's such a good place to go?" Guan Hai grabbed the soldier's front and asked.

"Yes, that's true." The soldier said nervously.

"Don't be impulsive. Let him go, I'll ask. Bu had already stood up, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and asked, "How far is that place from here?" ”

"It's about four or five days to walk through this forest. If you take the main road, you can get there in about two days. ”

"Take the avenue? No, there is Cai Mao's army guarding outside, and it is too dangerous to go out. Bu had looked at Guan Hai and Du Zhong, "We walked through the forest from here and besieged the pasture. The small ranch of more than 1,000 people can not only provide us with food, but also prepare a base for us to recuperate. ”

"That's good! Haha......" Guan Hai and Du Zhong also laughed.

In Fangling Valley, it is the base of captive war horses in the Shangyongguan Military Division of Yizhou. The basin was more than ten miles in circumference, and a castle was built in the inner part of the basin near the cliffs of the mountain. In the center of the castle is a horse pen where horses gather at night, surrounded by a joint camp of guards, and outside is a low wall and battlements where guards stand. The main guard of this month will be Zhang Jun of the Rong Guard, and the deputy will be Du An, the commander of the Rong Guard, with a total of three battalions: 31 Battalion of Infantry Archers, 190 Battalions of Infantry Knife Soldiers, and 190 Battalions of Riflemen. (Since the introduction of military service, the number of troops in Yizhou has increased from less than 200,000 to 400,000, and the cavalry, Jiugong and other armies have not increased, but the infantry has increased by 240,000, the infantry archers have increased by 40,000, the infantry and sword soldiers have increased by 100,000, and the riflemen have increased by 100,000.) Of the more than 200,000 troops, the Central Military Region only added 20,000 archers, 30,000 sword soldiers, and 30,000 spearmen. Hanzhong added 5,000 archers, 20,000 sword soldiers, and 20,000 spearmen; Shangyong added 5,000 archers, 15,000 sword soldiers, and 15,000 spearmen; Padang added 5,000 archers, 15,000 sword soldiers, and 15,000 spearmen; Lujin Pass added 5,000 archers, 10,000 sword soldiers, and 10,000 spearmen; Ke added 5,000 archers, 10,000 sword soldiers, and 10,000 spearmen)

On this day, Duane was taking several commanders to watch the scenery in the distance from the lookout. Suddenly, he saw the birds flying up in the woods on the hill opposite the castle, and he immediately beckoned everyone to watch with them, but it was too far to see clearly. He was about to send someone to investigate, but he saw the soldiers who had gone to herd horses galloping towards the castle.

A soldier leading the way in front rushed up to the tower, just in time to catch up with Duane who came down from the lookout. He gasped as he reported: "Report, report... General, there is ... Yes... Enemy. ”

Behind the crowd of the royal horse, dozens of knights in different costumes were chasing. From time to time, soldiers stopped to engage him, but the horses were able to enter the castle safely.

Duane and the soldiers of the 190th Battalion of Riflemen came out of the castle through the side gate to meet the soldiers who were fighting the enemy. When the dozens of enemy knights saw a large number of soldiers pouring out of the city, they did not like to fight, but left those soldiers and ran back.

After rescuing the soldiers, Duane returned to the castle with a group of horses and closed the gates. Zhang Jun also took the commanders of the battalions to the low wall of the castle, and when Duane and the commanders of the rifle battalion came up, he asked a few simple questions. Seeing that everyone didn't know what was going on, Zhang Jun beckoned Duane to come to the watchtower.

This watchtower was designed by Liu Qian according to his memory, and it can be seen that it is more than 20 miles away, but it is only a rough look. But it's a good sentry position for this grassland.

They stood on the lookout and looked into the distance, and ho! Under the mountain, there is a piece of black pressing! Not to mention that there are more than 10,000 people. Zhang Jun and Du An discussed, let go of wolf smoke! In such an emergency, wolf smoke must be released immediately.
