Chapter 179: Looting Grain
Zhang Chu left Yanchang and hurried to Yulin, because the reinforcements of the security army led by He Jin arrived, and the Mongols led by the eldest princess Uliangha also came.
Zhang Chu knew Hong Chengchou well, and if he hadn't hurt him, he would not have given up the attack on the security army.
At the time of the formulation of the plan, the security forces that had already been arranged in Fugu and Guihua City also assembled in Yanchang to concentrate their forces to repel the attack of the official army.
The eldest princess of Naturalization City, after hearing the news, thought that she had an obligation to help Zhang Chu and strongly asked to come to support Zhang Chu.
She and Zhang Chu did have a marriage contract, and no one else could stop her, so the eldest princess came to Yulin with some Mongolian cavalry.
The eldest princess came to help in person, He Jin couldn't help but report to Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu heard that his heart was straight, and he thought that this aunt and grandmother were not good at watching what Guihua City was doing here, and the next battle cavalry was the highlight, so don't hurt her.
Since everyone's eyes were drawn to Yanchang County in the last battle, no one noticed the arrival of this team.
The eldest princess and He Jin hurried away together, she was a little worried about Zhang Chu in her heart, this time the enemy dispatched more than 100,000 troops, I don't know if Zhang Chu can handle it. Then he said to himself that the marriage contract with Zhang Chu was signed as a last resort, and he didn't like a weak person like Zhang Chu at all. But when she heard that Zhang Chu had wiped out 30,000 officers and troops at once, the eldest princess was overjoyed.
Zhang Chu's little white face really has two hits, she can't wait to go over and fight side by side with Zhang Chu immediately, the little girl's heart is always changeable.
When Zhang Chu arrived in Yulin, the eldest princess who heard the news happily came to pick up Zhang Chu, thinking that Zhang Chu would be very happy to see him, but she didn't expect to complain as soon as she saw Zhang Chu: "You are not in Naturalization City, stay well, what are you doing here?" ”
"Didn't I come to help you fight? You don't like me coming, I'll leave now. The smile froze on the face of the eldest princess, and the kindness was not rewarded, and the eldest princess was very angry.
"Of course I like you to come, I'm not afraid that you are in danger. Besides, Naturalization City is our home, and we can't let anything happen to our family. Zhang Chu immediately discovered his mistake, and he couldn't reason with the little girl at any time, so he immediately changed his words and said good things.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged the affairs of Naturalization City, there's no problem, when we eliminate that Hong Chengchou, we'll go back." The eldest princess saw that Zhang Chu's words softened, and her mood improved a little.
"Good! We're talking about it inside. Zhang Chu felt that it was unwise to quarrel with a little girl here, so he hurriedly found an excuse to lead everyone inside to discuss the battle.
There are more than 10,000 troops mobilized from Fugu, and the important thing is that there are nearly 10,000 cavalry here, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to Cao Wenzhao's Guanning iron cavalry, but it is of great help to improve the mobility of the security army. If it joins forces with the army in Yanchang County, the security army will have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the gap with the official army in terms of numbers will be narrowed, and some tactical ideas can be implemented.
"Now Shaanxi General Soldier Wang Chengen with a joint army with Cao Wenzhao, stationed at the border of Yanchang County, a total of more than 40,000 people, Hong Chengchou's personal commander headquarters also has more than 20,000 people stationed in Yan'an Mansion, ready to respond at any time, the previous battle we fought the official army by surprise, the officers and soldiers did not know our reality and did not dare to attack, but this situation will not last long, although we can rely on Yanchang County to hold on, but this is too passive, we have to find another way to eliminate the enemy and reduce our losses." Zhang Chuxian gave a briefing on the current situation.
None of them spoke immediately after hearing this, thinking about what to do next.
"Can we join forces and find another opportunity to ambush the officers and soldiers?" Hokin was the first to propose.
"After what happened last time, the enemy has become more savvy. It's easy not to move, and I think they'll be very careful when attacking, because it's hard to find such an opportunity. My idea is to use the mobility of the cavalry to move westward to threaten Yan'an Mansion, didn't Hong Chengchou send someone to fight us, let's go to his door to find trouble, our troops are divided into two routes, I will take 2,000 cavalry to the vicinity of Yan'an Mansion to make a big noise, and at the same time attack the enemy's grain transportation route. He Jin led the rest of the men to monitor the officers and soldiers to look for fighters, and the enemy acted as if they were divided and resolutely eliminated them. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao, and not let them be entangled, if the enemy's brigade arrives, it will be very dangerous. Zhang Chu finally made the deployment according to his own ideas.
After hearing this, everyone felt that there was no other good way, this method still had a certain feasibility, but they felt that it was a little dangerous for Zhang Chu to lead the team to attack, and they all said that they would go for Zhang Chu and let Zhang Chu stay and command, of course Zhang Chu would not do it, he would not let go of such a good opportunity to tease Hong Chengchou.
"I'll take the team with you! You'll be safe. The words of the eldest princess made everyone silent, Zhang Chu looked at the eldest princess, and said in his heart: "Don't speak so directly, when do I need the little girl to protect." "But it's not completely unreasonable for the eldest princess to say this, although the combat effectiveness of the Mongols has decreased, the work on the horse is still very good, and there should be no problem if you can't run.
"Okay, that's it, the eldest princess will take you and me around Yan'an Mansion together." The eldest princess didn't expect Zhang Chu to agree with her opinion at that time, and she was very happy, "It seems that Zhang Chu still values me very much." Princess Celestia thought to herself. Of course, he didn't know that what Zhang Chu valued was that they could escape faster, and if he knew, he would have to settle accounts with Zhang Chu again.
After the plan was decided, everyone went down and got ready to go, and soon everything was ready, and everyone set off separately.
Zhang Chu led 2,000 cavalry plus nearly 1,000 Mongols of the eldest princess, Zhang Chu had a very powerful cavalry team at hand, but Zhang Chu was still very cautious, and did not rush to Yan'an Mansion, but started the idea of transporting grain to the official army.
The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed there consumed a huge amount, and the grain and grass brought by the team were quickly eaten up, and the grain and grass could only be transferred by Yan'an Mansion every day. Cao Wenzhao and Wang Chengen knew the importance of grain and grass, and sent elites to escort and protect them every time. Fortunately, the past few days have been smooth, and no thieves dare to harass them under the escort of the officers and soldiers of the brigade.
On the official road leading to Yan'an Prefecture, a team of officers and soldiers drove the captured people, who were delivering grain and grass to the big operation in front, and the team was led by a general. At this time, he sat on his horse and carefully observed the surrounding situation, no one wanted to do the work of carrying grain, it was dangerous and there was no oil and water, and the enemy would come out at some point.
The general kept silently reciting in all directions in his heart, don't have an accident this time, next time it should be someone else. His wish did not come true. Explosions rang out, and the guards who were walking in front of the group were knocked to the ground. The general immediately ordered a defensive formation, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. The grain team could not stay for a long time, and the general sent people to investigate everywhere and found nothing unusual, and ordered the team to continue to move forward, but it did not go far and was bombed again, which made the generals and officers and soldiers nervous for a long time. The trick really worked, and there was no explosion again after walking a long distance.
Just when the general breathed a sigh of relief and thought that everything was fine, Zhang Chu and the eldest princess rushed towards the grain transportation team of the official army with the cavalry. (To be continued.) )
