CHAPTER XXIII
After beating Tang Shuangxi, Zhang Yun immediately ordered the whole army to speed up......
Anyway, the reality of the Liupanshui Ming Army has been discovered. Zhang Yun felt that if he couldn't play Mu Tianbo, the son-in-law, and Ma Shiying, a scholar with low eyes.
Then you might as well buy a piece of tofu and hit it to death!
What's more, the two of them are still fighting between life and death. The best thing is that their contradictions have surfaced. Even the soldiers of the Ming army at the lowest level knew it.
There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the general and the deputy general of the first army. Plus, neither of them is a smart person.
With such an army, it is probably okay to pull it to fight a tailwind battle.
But if they hit the hundreds of thousands of troops they are carrying, it is estimated that they can be considered heroes without peeing their pants!
This is a wonderful good object for military training, especially the hundreds of thousands of recruits under his command who have not seen blood. Such opponents will be very welcome.
So Zhang Yun hurried away, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to tell hundreds of thousands of recruits about the news he had discovered.
At this moment, the desire to fight of more than 400,000 recruits exploded in an instant......
"Hey, it's a pity that the head is not the standard for receiving combat merits, otherwise Lao Tzu will definitely go forward and cut off a few of his heads when the time comes."
"Cripple Du, don't brag, just now, you were still worried about how to save your life!"
“……”
Zhang Yun passed on the information, and in an instant, it stirred up a huge wave among the recruits of the 30 divisions, and almost everyone was eagerly discussing that the enemy on the opposite side, who only had one percent of his own number, was still caught in a serious infighting.
The marching procession, which was more than ten miles long on the ground of Qujing, was no longer in the same mood as just now. If it weren't for the pressure of military regulations, I'm afraid that someone would have sung the mountain song......
Li Chuan looked at these high-spirited recruits with a complicated face, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Could it really be that he could give this Taoist head the first place?
His subordinates are so daring to fight, and even eager to fight, I'm afraid this Zhang Yun doesn't have anything to ask for himself. It's just that he is in a hurry to summon himself at this time, and what is he for?
Li Chuan, who was confused, with a stomach full of questions, rode a horse to overtake one recruit after another and finally came to the front of the team. I also saw Zhang Yun's back......
Seeing Zhang Yun again, Li Chuan had lost almost all of his arrogance. After bowing respectfully, he bowed his head and said, "I don't know why the Taoist chief is in a hurry to summon Li to come here?" ”
Zhang Yun didn't rush to speak, but just looked at Li Chuan, who looked respectful, and for a long time, a gleam flashed in Zhang Yun's eyes. Finally made up some kind of determination. Fang said quietly.
"I think General Li now also knows the information of the Liupanshui Ming Army, a useless scholar, and a son-in-law are fighting in the house, the poor road thinks about it, can't let them fight any results, you have to give them a heavy blow before this, and this task can only be handed over to General Li You, you must know that when you first went out of Sichuan, Li Dingguo gave you 10,000 or 20,000 military horses, how about it, can you take the 20,000 cavalry who sat down to Liupanshui for a trip?"
Li Chuan pondered Zhang Yun's words carefully, but after pondering and pondering, he didn't find anything wrong. I could only suppress the doubts in my heart, thinking that maybe Zhang Yun was more open-minded and didn't mind his resistance at the beginning......
Therefore, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Li promised to complete the order of the Taoist chief, but Li did not understand one thing, anyway, those Ming troops were already meat on the chopping board, and there was no threat at all, why didn't the Taoist let the recruits do this work?" ”
Li Chuan's question made Zhang Yun's expression stunned!
But he immediately calmed down and replied with a look of remorse.
"Poor Dao also regrets it now, in the past few months, Poor Dao has never thought of forming cavalry, resulting in only hundreds of thousands of infantry under his command now, with only two legs, I am afraid that before they reach Liupanshui, they will all run out on the opposite side!"
"Therefore, now you can only rely on the cavalry under General Li......"
Performed all his skills and wasted countless saliva. Zhang Yun finally passed Li to the fool and was lame!
And Li Chuan, who temporarily forcibly suppressed all the doubts and incomprehension in his heart, returned to the back of the team, and immediately gathered all his cavalry of about 20,000 people, broke away from the large army and went straight to Liupanshui.
What Li Chuan didn't know was that looking at the 20,000 cavalry rolling away, Zhang Yun, who was standing on a high post on the side of the road, also took off his gorgeous robe and changed into the clothes of the Great Western Army......
……
Since all of them were cavalry, and they did not bring extra logistical equipment, they traveled hundreds of miles from Qujing to Liupanshui. It only took Li Chuan four days to arrive at Liupanshui City.
With the contact information given by Zhang Yun, Tang Chunlai, who was soon imprisoned in disguise, also returned with dozens of scout members.
After receiving intelligence support and understanding the reality of the Ming army on the opposite side, Li Chuan soon sent someone over to invite the battle!
Li Chuan's arrival had already been detected by Mu Tianbo and Ma Shiying. Therefore, at this moment, the two of them also took all the soldiers and horses to hide in Liupan Shuifu City. and closed the four doors tightly......
The two of them in a panic have also put aside all their prejudices at this moment and sat hand in hand again.
Especially Mu Tianbo recognized Li Chuan's banner, remembering the achievements of Li Chuan and Zhang Yun in Yunnan at the beginning, Mu Tianbo had no other thoughts at this moment, and even had the idea of escaping!
However, there was an unwilling aura in his chest, which could not be calmed down, so Mu Tianbo forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart......
In addition, the opposite side is full of cavalry, even if you can run out of the city at night, I am afraid that you will be chased and killed by the tail, what is the result? It's unpredictable!
Ma Shiying looked at the pale face of the boy opposite, and at this moment he didn't have the mentality of ridicule, and he forced himself to calm down and was about to say something.
Outside the prefect's yamen, there was a sudden commotion. Seeing this, Ma Shiying, who was in an irritable mood, immediately got up and walked out, ready to find a few unlucky ghosts to vent his anger.
Since the two of them had been sitting here for a long time, they had never discussed any feasible strategies, so now Mu Tianbo had no other reaction to Ma Shiying's actions. Just quietly watched him walk out angrily......
It's just that to Mu Tianbo's surprise, Ma Shiying, who rushed out of the door angrily, quickly ran in again with a panicked look and said urgently.
"Then the thief on the other side came to invite the battle, Qianguo Gong, what do you say we should do?"
When Mu Tianbo heard this, he immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Can't go out, can't go out, anyway, we're in this city, no matter how many cavalry there are outside, it's impossible for him to ride a horse to attack the city!" When Mu Tianbo said this, he also reacted that his attitude was too eager!
So he wanted to save face, and continued: "As long as we stick to the city without losing, it is impossible for the cavalry outside the city to get us, and wait for the war in Sichuan to end, and we will also make a great achievement!" ”
Seeing that Mu Tianbo was so optimistic, Ma Shiying couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qianguo Gong, things are not as simple as you think, if Li Dingguo was so easy to solve, he would not be arrogant to ...... now."
Mu Tianbo saw Ma Shiying say these frustrating words, especially at this dangerous moment, and refuted it without waiting for him to finish speaking.
"It's really not good, don't we still have General Huang, who has already defeated the invincible Manchu Qing, and General Yan haven't come, when the two of them come over, will there be any good results for these thieves on the other side?"
"And when that time comes, the two of us have defended Liupanshui Mansion City without losing, wouldn't it be a big plus for the emperor!"
The corners of Ma Shiying's mouth twitched, seeing that Mu Tianbo, who didn't know the general trend of the world, was so optimistic. I really couldn't bear to continue to speak against him, so I could only nod silently.
Later, Ma Shiying and Mu Tianbo, who were ready to defend the city, although they did not dare to go up to the city wall, they continued to give death orders one after another, and asked a group of big-headed soldiers to defend the city wall.
At the same time, Ma Shiying also persuaded Mu Tianbo, who was afraid of death, and the two raised thousands of taels of silver together, which were placed under the city wall......
