readx; Wang Zaijin's order to Cao Wenzhao was still to ask the Guanning Iron Cavalry to immediately rush to the aid of Yangzhou, because he had already received a message from Yangzhou: the army of thieves was storming the city, and the situation was precarious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 As for Yizhen's capture, he was handed over to Qi Jiantao, the captain of the Long Island ship.

This Qi Jiantao was originally a disciple of the Qi family's army, and he was only eighteen years old this year. When the North Sea Fleet was established in Dengzhou, it was transferred to the navy and participated in the Battle of Phi Dao and the Battle of Hukou. Seeing that Cao Wenzhao was not at ease with the captives, Qi Jiantao lowered his voice and said: "The garrison has a secret order, and the general will transfer all the captives to Nanjing. The last general's Long Island ship came first, and Nanjing would send naval warships one after another to transport the prisoners to the other side as soon as possible. ”

Cao Wenzhao felt a little relieved at this time, thinking that tens of thousands of captives staying in Yizhen, which was close to Yangzhou, would always be a trouble, and Wang Zaijin's arrangement was relatively safe. But it will definitely take a lot of time to transport so many prisoners, and there are so few people on board, what if something goes wrong?

Just as he was hesitating, Zhou Yuji stepped forward and said, "General, I am willing to lead thirty people to stay in Yizhen and assist in transporting prisoners in Nanjing." I also ask the general to raise troops as soon as possible, and I am afraid that the state will not be able to support it from the tone of the warrant. ”

Cao Wenzhao's heart was suddenly moved, and he looked at Zhou Yuji for a long time without speaking. In fact, he had long wanted to leave a few soldiers to guard the ceremony, but he also knew in his heart that even if the soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry were brave and good at fighting, once the thieves went and returned, dozens against tens of thousands, what the consequences would be self-evident. Therefore, whoever stays is equivalent to letting someone wait for death, because he can't make up his mind for a long time.

Knot not the only grandson of the family by the lonely cool not the family

Seeing Cao Wenzhao's hesitation, Zhou Yuji blushed rarely and said, "General, it can't be too late, it's too late!" ”

"Uncle, let me stay!" Cao Bianjiao also stepped forward to ask for an order.

"No way!" Zhou Yuji immediately pushed back, without any scruples that Cao Bianjiao was a third-grade general, and he was now only a sixth-grade general, "Our cavalry can do without me, and we can't do without you." Or I'll stay! ”

"Don't fight!" Cao Wenzhao finally made a resolute decision, stared at Zhou Yuji's eyes and said, "Thirty people is too little, I will allocate fifty horses to you." Remember, the Holy One has warned this soldier many times, and to all of you, that the purpose of battle is to destroy the enemy and save yourself. You can control the situation yourself, when the thief is too strong, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, and withdraw if you can withdraw to Chuzhou. ”

"Obey!" Zhou Yuji said calmly, "Please rest assured, the general, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

At this time, the soldiers had finished resting, and Cao Wenzhao immediately ordered to be pulled. Nine hundred and fifty Guanning iron horsemen galloped eastward along the dilapidated official road, and soon left Yizhen City behind.

In fact, without Wang Zaijin's order, Cao Wenzhao already knew that Yangzhou was being attacked by thieves. Yizhen is only forty miles away from Yangzhou, and when he was resting just now, he reported that there was already a company camp of thieves in the west of Yangzhou City, and it was simply impossible to see the edge. It is difficult to judge for a while how many troops the thieves have, but in short, it will not be less than 100,000.

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao was so anxious that he led the army to speed up his horse, and it only took more than half an hour to march thirty miles in the dark, until the outline of the thief company camp loomed in front of him.

Cao Wenzhao ordered a halt in his advance, and when he got closer to observe, he found that the camp of the thieves was indeed too large, and there were almost 100,000 people in the western part of the city alone; As for the east and north of the city, there will be no shortage of enemy soldiers without asking. Only the south of the city, which is near the river, is too narrow to camp and has not yet been fenced. At this time, the camp of thieves was quiet, only a few fires flickered, and most of the people were sleeping. On the other hand, the city of Yangzhou is brightly lit.

Cao Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the thieves had not yet broken through Yangzhou, otherwise it would not be the current situation. So he immediately returned to the army and shouted: "The whole army is on horseback, rush through the enemy camp and enter the city!" ”

Soon, the cavalry of less than 1,000 people gradually appeared in the night like a ghost, and quickly approached the camp of thieves. They chose the part of the thieves' camp close to the north bank of the Yangtze River, where the number of tents was the least. In fact, no matter whether the enemy's defense is strong or weak, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry has no other choice but to break through!

To put it mildly, the vigilance of the thieves here is still relatively high, the Guanning iron cavalry galloped, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the land, the sentry on duty at night immediately found it, sounded the gong to warn, and there was a big uproar in the thief camp.

However, from hearing the gong to coming out of the tent to face the battle, there is always a time to react. But Guan Ning's iron cavalry came too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to within eighty steps in front of the enemy camp. With Cao Bianjiao's hurried command, round after round of bows and arrows were fired in a volley, and thousands of arrows were fired at the enemy camp in an instant. The vast majority of the few night thieves died tragically under the swift arrows before they could get on their horses.

After the rain of arrows, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already rushed to the front of the enemy camp. Originally, the camp generally had to have a wooden fence, but first, the thieves were poorly equipped, and secondly, the battalion was too big, and there were not so many fences available. But just now, these thieves had all been shot to death, so Guan Ning Tieqi didn't encounter any resistance, and directly inserted it from here.

The enemy is far away and far away from the cool and hates Moyang Hougang

At this time, there was chaos in the camp, and some thieves didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they raised their swords and killed them from the military tent, but in the blink of an eye, they were rushed by Guan Ning's iron cavalry. More thieves ran around in panic, and of course, the cavalrymen would never pity the horse, and the sword in their hands would be in a different place.

The enemy was far away and hated the order given to Cao Wenzhao by the king of Moyang Hougang in Jin, and he still wanted the Guanning Iron Cavalry to immediately rush to the aid of Yangzhou, because he had received a message from Yangzhou: The army of thieves was storming the city, and the situation was precarious. As for Yizhen's capture, it was handed over to Qi Jiantao, the captain of the Long Island ship.

Moreover, Cao Wenzhao was very experienced, his purpose was not to kill and injure the enemy, but to quickly pass through the enemy camp. Otherwise, once you fall in love and are surrounded by heavy troops after the thieves wake up, it will be troublesome. So while commanding his men to rush, he ordered the men to snatch the torches used for lighting in the camp of thieves, and set fire to a few of the military tents that passed by at different intervals. Together, the thieves were even more chaotic, and many untrained horses were frightened, and they ran wildly around the camp, trampling to death and injuring countless people.

At this moment, the city of Yangzhou suddenly sounded war drums, and the sound of killing was shocking. Not long after, the south gate of Yangzhou suddenly opened, and a team of people rushed out shouting. Cao Wenzhao had also led his army through the enemy camp, and Pegasus came over to join the team, shouting as he ran: "On the orders of the Nanjing garrison, Guanning Iron Cavalry has come to reinforce Yangzhou!" ”

A burst of cheers immediately broke out on the opposite side, and the leader cried with joy: "Yangzhou Governor Shi Kefa is here, general, please enter the city!" ”
