Chapter 243: Jinfan Thief
Xingyang, Liangzhou military camp.
"But ......," Jia Xu said and said to Xu Chu, "General Zhongkang is right, our army must not just forget it, even if it wants to withdraw to the Tiger Prison Pass in a big way, it will make the Kwantung Coalition Army pay a considerable price!" Moreover, after some period of conquest, tempering and integration, the combat effectiveness of the various departments of the Liangzhou Army has been greatly improved, and now it is time to have a head-on decisive battle with the Kwantung Army. ”
Xu Chu said excitedly: "Great, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!" ”
……
Gangneung.
Under the guidance of several local ruffians in Jingzhou, Li Meng and Wang Fang's 2,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry successfully bypassed the southern foot of Jingshan, passed through Changban Slope and Hulu Valley Pass, and reached Jiangling Beixiao, and at this time, the messenger from Xiangyang to Jiangling for help had just passed Maicheng, and Jiangling Taishou Han Song did not know that Liu Biao had been defeated at Wuguan.
Li Meng and Wang Fang rode lightly, and did not carry grain and straw to go out on the expedition, and all the applications relied on the looting (scholars) along the way, so it was naturally impossible to hide their traces. Along the way, counties, townships, and pavilions were robbed one after another, and fast horses were sent to warn, ask for help, and report to emergency, but these fast horses were all sent to Xiangyang without exception, and none of them rode to Jiangling.
Until the two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry appeared in the north of Jiangling, Jiangling Taishou Han Song was still at a loss.
……
It's twilight.
In the north of Jiangling, deep in the dense forest, Li Meng and Wang Fang's two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry were resting.
A tiger-backed Xiliang Colonel pushed Kuai Yue, who was tied up with five flowers, to Li Meng and Wang Fang, and said quickly: "Two generals, Kuai Yue is here!" ”
Li Meng and Wang Fang Huo Ran turned around and stared at Kuai Yue coldly, their eyes revealing a murderous aura.
Kuai Yue held his head high and said in an extremely disdainful tone: "If you want to kill, you have to chop, listen to it." ”
"Ambitious!" Li Meng said coldly, "However, General Ben neither kills you nor kills you, but just wants to ask you for a favor." ”
Without waiting for Kuai Yue to answer, Wang Yi continued: "Help us capture Jiangling City!" ”
"Take Gangneung?" Kuai Yue Huo Ran's color changed, and then he said coldly, "Dream." ”
Li Meng sneered: "Now I am a sword, you are a fish, this is busy...... You can help, you have to help, you have to help if you don't. ”
"Yes!" Wang Fang shouted, "I can't help you anymore." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Fang rushed forward to Kuai Yue, and pinched Kuai Yue's chin with his right hand.
Kuai Yue was taken aback, and instinctively asked, "You...... What do you want? Not...... Babble......"
"Humph!"
Wang Fang snorted, and his right hand used force to remove Kuai Yue's chin, and Kuai Yue was dumb and couldn't make a sound.
……
It's finally getting dark.
In Gangneung City, Han Song was pacing anxiously in the hall of the Taishou Mansion.
In the past few days, Han Song has always felt restless, and his right eyelid has been jumping non-stop, as the saying goes, the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster, is there a disaster these days?
Jiangling is an important military town for the entire Jingzhou to accumulate grain, grass, and ordnance materials! Liu Biao handed over such an important duty to Han Song, which was the greatest trust in Han Song, and Han Song was unwilling to live up to the high expectations of his lord Liu Biao because of his negligence. In any case, Gangneung cannot afford to be missed.
Speaking of which, Jingzhou is actually relatively stable now.
Although the horse butcher's Xiliang soldiers made a lot of noise, it was in the north.
Gangneung is close to the north bank of the river, located in the south, where the waterways are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to the assault of the Western Liang cavalry, and the horse butcher will never be stupid to come here to be bored.
What really made Han Song uneasy was actually for another reason.
About two months ago, a group of thieves suddenly appeared on the river waterway, tied to the bell, and escaped by the brocade sail, known as the brocade thief! The Jinfan thieves were erratic and ruthless, and they ransacked dozens of large and small ports on both sides of the river one after another.
……
Gangneung North Gate.
Li Meng and Wang Fang led dozens of elite soldiers from Liangzhou to appear under the city tower surrounded by an uncovered carriage, and half a wooden stake was added to the middle of the carriage, and Kuai Yue's hands were tied to the stake, but due to the cover of the cloak, no flaws could be found ten steps away.
Just as the dark clouds covered the moon, Li Meng Huoran looked back, raised his hand and pressed down under the light of the firelight, not far behind him, in the vast night, two thousand Liangzhou iron horses quietly lay down.
"Who!" The Jingzhou soldiers who were patrolling the night at the head of Jiangling City shouted, "Who is outside the city, if you don't answer, you will release arrows!" ”
Li Meng shook his head, and a Jingzhou ruffian had already come out of the crowd, and scolded the Jingzhou soldiers on the city tower: "Blind your dog's eyes, don't you look at who is sitting in this carriage?" This is the military advisor of Lord Liu! If you don't hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the military division into the city, if you miss the military division's major event, your kid will not be able to cut off even ten heads! ”
"Huh? Strategist! The captain of the city gate hurriedly poked out half of his head from the female wall and said loudly, "Is it really a military advisor?" ”
Li Meng made a look, there were already more than a dozen mutton fat torches in Liangzhou to the side of the uncovered carriage, the carriage was illuminated as bright as day within a radius of ten steps, the captain of the city gate saw it squarely, and the person sitting in the carriage was indeed Kuai Yue. Kuai Yue was afraid that the defenders would be deceived, so he struggled to his body, and his mouth wanted to shout loudly, but unfortunately the sound that came out was a vague babbling.
At first glance, the captain of the city gate at the head of the city thought that Kuai Yue was saying something to his relatives in extreme anger, and he didn't doubt it at the moment, and shouted to the Jingzhou soldiers around him: "Open the city gate quickly, let the army division enter the city, quickly!" ”
Under the light of the fire, Kuai Yue's tense body slumped down, and his face had become miserable, but Li Meng and Wang Fang exchanged a cold look, thinking that the lord was really clever, this trick really worked, and it didn't take much effort to open the gate of Jiangling.
……
Xiling Harbor.
It is located in the west of Jiangling more than 200 miles, is an important transit station from the Bashu section of the river waterway to the Jingzhou section, here there are many shops, the traffic is busy, the merchants from the south to the north are endless, of course, there are also indispensable water thieves and river and ocean thieves, with water thieves and river and ocean thieves, naturally there is also the stationing of the water army.
Fifty miles north of Xiling Port.
Somewhere in a secluded valley, the six thousand main cavalry of Ma Yue were lurking quietly in the bitter winter cold.
Ma Yue changed into an ordinary businessman's attire, ordered Dian Wei to change into the short outfit of his entourage, and ordered Jutu and Li Su to stay in the formation, and then took Dian Wei's light clothes and Jane from Xiling Port straight to Xiling Port. As the saying goes, the south ships and the north horses, Ma Yuejiu is well versed in cavalry warfare in the north, but he has no bottom in his heart about the water war in the south.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Ma Yue decided to explore the reality of Xiling Port before taking action.
This surprise attack on Xiling Port is not just so simple to capture, Ma Yue has another more arduous, even impossible goal, that is, to attack the Jingzhou Navy Dazhai in Xiling Port, capture the Navy ships in the Navy Village, and find enough means of transportation for the 8,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to go south to Jiangdong!
……
Gangneung.
Li Meng raised a knife in his hand and slashed the captain of the city gate to the ground, Wang Fangce immediately stepped forward and cut the cable of the suspension bridge, and the rest of the dozens of Liangzhou elites had already rushed across the suspension bridge and swarmed towards the north gate of Jiangling.
"Huh~~"
A rocket swept into the air, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the air, and landed far away on the empty wilderness in the north of the city, and the next moment, the continuous shouting and killing sound rushed into the sky, and suddenly, the black and suppressed Xiliang Iron Cavalry had been killed outside the north gate of Jiangling like a whirlwind.
In Gangneung Castle, Taishou official residence.
Jiangling Taishou Han Song had just received a report from Xiao Shi, saying that it was the lord's military advisor Kuai Yue who was visiting, and when he was about to go out to greet him, he suddenly saw Du Lieutenant Su Fei running over with a disheveled and embarrassed expression, and shouted loudly as he ran: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”
Han Song's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "The Jinfan thief has entered the city?" ”
"No...... Not a sail thief. Su Fei gasped, "Yes...... It's the Liangzhou rebels! Damn, it's all fucking cavalry, it's so powerful, the brothers were scattered at once, and this battle can't be fought. My lord, we should hurry up and run for our lives, it's too late. ”
"!" Han Song didn't believe it, and shouted loudly, "Jiangling is far away from the Central Plains, where are the Liangzhou rebels?" ”
"Whew...... If you don't believe it, forget it, the last general will not accompany you to death. ”
Su Fei snorted, turned around and ran straight away, Han Song was stunned and was about to stop drinking, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing on the long street in front of him, and the sound of horses' hooves like a landslide and a crack came from the air.
