Chapter 33: Encountering the Rebels on the Road

Yue Su led the men and horses to Guiyang, slept all the way, and finally came to Tianmapo, which is only a hundred miles away from Guiyang.

Walking here, there was a large flow of people in front of him, Yue Su was surprised in his heart, turned his head and looked at the two guards, these two showed panic, I don't know why there are so many people in front. Yue Su immediately ordered the whole army to be on guard, and put so much grain and grass in place, if it was robbed, no one could afford to eat it.

Don't look at him as an officer, but here, he has the largest official position, and at the sound of an order, more than 4,000 people immediately put their bows on their strings, unsheathed their swords, and prepared for battle.

The flow of people was getting closer and closer, and Yue Su could see clearly that a group of unarmed people came over, and the people were helping the old and the young, or carrying burdens or burdens. The people also saw them, and when they saw the flag, they seemed to be relieved and moved forward slowly.

"Where are these people going?" Yue Su was puzzled, and as soon as he urged his mount, he took a few steps forward. Seeing Yue Su moving forward, Jin Chan and Tie Qiu immediately hit their horses to follow, and the errand officers behind also hurriedly followed.

Welcoming the front of the crowd, Yue Su looked more carefully, and the crowd was dense, not to mention tens of thousands of people. He shouted at one of the juniors who walked in front: "Little brother, where are you from, and where are so many people going?" ”

When the people saw Yue Su wearing official uniforms and leading the messengers forward, they were obviously startled, trembling, and didn't know what to do. Especially the ones in front of them, they immediately stopped their steps and did not dare to take another half step forward. When he heard Yue Su speak politely, unlike other officials, he was slightly calm. The descendant who was stared at by Yue Su hurriedly replied carefully: "If you go back to your adult, Xiaomin is a villager from Majiahe Village on the outskirts of Guiyang, most of them are fellow villagers here, and some are from neighboring villages, so we are going to flee to other places." ”

"Fleeing to another city?" Yue Su's first reaction was that something had happened on the front line, otherwise why would the people have to leave their hometowns in a good manner. He then asked, "What's going on in Guiyang?" ”

"The king of Longli was defeated, and the enemy killed him lost his armor, and the people fled into Guiyang, and I heard that the anti-thief army was approaching Guiyang, and we people were afraid that it would be dangerous to stay in the village, so we fled overnight." Housheng replied honestly.

"Then do you know how far the rebels are from Guiyang?" Yue Su asked again.

"This small people don't know, we haven't fled yet, and it is estimated that we will be able to come in the next two days."

Hearing that Zhang Yanfang was defeated and the rebels were forcing Guiyang, Yue Su couldn't even scream in his heart. If the enemy dares to attack Guiyang, the number of people will never be small, and once it is surrounded, it will be difficult to send grain and grass in. I don't know how much food there is in the city of Guiyang, let alone 100,000 people and tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, if there is no food, you will not have to starve to death.

Thinking of this, Yue Su no longer hesitated, and immediately shouted: "The army immediately marches and goes straight to Guiyang, there is no rest tonight, we must rush to Guiyang before the rebels arrive." ”

The words of the later life, the two garrisons behind also heard it, and knew that the matter was very important, so they immediately led the troops to hurry. Fortunately, the road was wide enough to bypass the people and move forward, and the people also consciously moved out of the way, so as not to affect the march of the army.

The speed of the officers and soldiers this time was not ordinary, these veterans not only knew the seriousness of the situation, but also knew that they were facing this danger, if they were one step slower and encountered the rebels before entering the city, what would they do? Compared with life, everyone no longer cares about physical strength. Along the way, Yue Su and others saw several groups of people fleeing, all of whom were from the surrounding areas of Guiyang, who fled overnight in order to avoid hurting their own families.

In the evening, the whole army hastily ate dry food, and the whole army continued to hurry, and when it came to the next day, it was about five miles away from Guiyang, and the city could be seen faintly.

"Guiyang is right in front of you, let's work hard, after we arrive, we can rest!" Yue Su shouted and commanded his soldiers to continue to advance.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from not far away, Yue Su and the others hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see dust and smoke rising on the right side, and vaguely soldiers and horses arrived.

Could it be that the rebels are coming! Yue Su's heart trembled, and then he reacted most wisely, "Jin Chan, you immediately go to Guiyang to report the news, just say that the grain and grass from Tongren and Shiqian Mansion have arrived, and they encountered rebels on the way, so let them support quickly." Otherwise, if you lose, everything will be over! ”

Jin Cicada agreed, urged the horse out, and beat the horse desperately, like an arrow off the string, and went straight to Guiyang City.

At the same time, Yue Su issued another order to prepare for battle, the cavalry stepped forward, the infantry was behind, and they took a stance, as long as the opposite side rushed towards him, he would immediately engage the battle.

As expected, it was the front of the rebels who came to kill, and it was An Bangyan's cousin An Bangyou who led the team, with 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry. Anbang Youyou, as the front, thought that he could slaughter some villages and towns, and looted them on a large scale, but he didn't expect the people to flee too quickly, and the places around Guiyang were already ten rooms and nine empty, and not even a grain of grain was left.

This guy was angry and screamed, and the leader continued to advance, intending to choose a better place to camp and wait for the arrival of the army. The troops were walking, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a flag fluttering in the distance, because of the great victory in Longli and the high morale of the rebels, An Bangyou is now not afraid of Wang Shi, and led the team to kill directly.

The cavalry on Yue Su's side is only five hundred, and the other party can have three thousand, the gap is too big. As soon as they saw the other party pounce viciously, many people were already frightened. Yue Su saw it in his eyes, and said to the two garrisons beside him: "Niu Garrison, Lu Garrison, now that the rebels have rushed over, as the main general, if we don't set an example, I am afraid that morale will be low, and if we don't wait for reinforcements to arrive, the whole line will collapse." If there is no food, grass, and military salaries, it is better to say that what we are doing now is too big, and we must not afford to lose. ”

Niu Qian and Lu Zheng nodded one after another, everyone understood what was going on, the military rations were lost, the soldiers fled and no one was held accountable, and the retreat of the commander-in-chief was certain to die. Niu Qian admired Yue Su and said, "Lord Yue, your official position here is the biggest, what do you say, what will we do?" ”

Yue Su nodded slightly and glanced at Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I have the same meaning as Lord Niu." ”

"That's good!" Yue Su shouted, "Come on, hand this mansion a spear!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier stepped forward and handed the spear in his hand to Yue Su, Yue Su said: "The cattle garrison is responsible for taking care of the food and salary, and the Lu garrison will go into battle with me." ”

A civil official expressed his willingness to go into battle in person, and even if Lu Zheng was reluctant, there was nothing to say. He took off his weapon and nose machete, raised the broadsword, and shouted: "Brothers, Governor Yue is willing to fight hard with us, he is not afraid of death as a civil official, what are we afraid of." Let's go up together and kill all the traitors! ”

"Kill all the rebels!" "Kill all the rebels!" ……

As soon as they heard that Yue Su was also going to charge, everyone's morale immediately rose. At this time, someone in the group shouted, "My lord, can you take me?" ”

Yue Su looked back and saw that the person who shouted was Li Haoran.

Although Li Haoran was a prisoner, Yue Su did not give him the same treatment as a prisoner like Pang Bai, first, he was not put in a prisoner car, and second, he was not shackled, and he was only allowed to march with the errand service. Yue Su understood that a man like this who dared to act would never run away.

"Hahahaha......" Yue Su laughed loudly and shouted, "Have guts!" Give him weapons! ”

"I want it too!" Li Haoquan also shouted. After a few days of hurrying, Li Haoquan's injuries have healed, and his two brothers have depended on each other since childhood.

Yue Su asked Li Haoquan to give Li Haoquan a spear again, and now that the rebels were approaching, Yue Su shouted, "Rush!" ”

The cavalry swarmed up, and the infantry followed, making a direct attack on the rebels.

Anbang on the opposite side really didn't expect the officers and soldiers to be so bold, a charge, the two sides fought together, and fought in one regiment.

In the land of Yungui, there are often local indigenous rebellions, and small wars are fought every year, and wars will be fought once every three or two years. The soldiers and horses in all the Yungui land are not as weak as the soldiers in the mainland, and they still have some combat effectiveness.

When marching and fighting, morale is usually emphasized, and if the main general flees, how can the soldiers sell their lives, they will definitely be scattered. If the Lord will take the lead in rushing and fighting desperately, the soldiers will also move forward bravely. Especially this time, Yue Su, as the prefect, a civil official still dares to take the lead in charging and killing the enemy, what else are those big-headed soldiers afraid of. The lives of the big officials are not valuable, and those of us who are barefoot are still more precious than the prefects?

The soldiers and horses of the two sides were wrapped together, and in this fight, Yue Su's ability was also revealed. In his previous life, under the training of his master, he practiced a good martial arts, otherwise when he was a criminal policeman, how could he solve major cases repeatedly. The spear is a weapon, I haven't practiced much, but the stick is still practiced often, one law can be used in a hundred ways, and this spear is like a dragon in his hand. In the battlefield confrontation, the emphasis is on one inch long and one inch strong, especially right away, the spear and halberd are still a lot cheaper, your short knife has not waited for the machete, and my shot has already pierced your heart. Otherwise, the famous generals in history all use long weapons and heavy weapons, if you let Guan Yu take a sword to fight Hua Xiong at Bishui Pass, I dare to guarantee that it will not be Hua Xiong who will die.

The soldiers of the rebel army also have a good eye, and when they saw Yue Su wearing a civilian robe, and seeing that Buzi was not a petty official, everyone rushed to greet him. Fortunately, Yue Su became more and more courageous the more he fought, and after a while, he had killed more than 30 people in a row, which made the rebels understand that this civilian official dared not dare to go into battle, it turned out that he was not easy to provoke.

The fierce battle between the two armies quickly passed two quarters of an hour, and the rebels were outnumbered after all, and Yue Su's men and horses had already lost more than 200 people at this moment, so they relied on Yue Su and Lu Zheng to support them in front, and the soldiers still held out and did not retreat.

The soldiers of the rebels had already discovered the grain and grass carts behind them at this time, and someone shouted loudly: "Brothers, behind is the baggage of the Ming army, everyone hurry up and grab it!" ”

This voice really worked, and many of the men and horses who were originally besieging Yue Su's side turned around and rushed towards the food truck. There were only 500 soldiers guarding Niu Qian's side, and when they saw the enemy troops rushing towards him, they all gathered around Niu Qian and waited for orders.

Niu Qian couldn't control much now, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, follow me, you must resist, the reinforcements will arrive in a moment!" ”
