Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Imperial Court's Counterattack
Lin Ran led his players and cavalry to break through to the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, there are only a few dozen Shanyue rebels in the north, and the main forces of the rebels are fighting with the government forces in the south.
The players who fled to the north were not only Lin Ran, a total of three thousand people flocked to the north, and even if the dozens of Shanyue rebels were superb, they were not arrogant enough to intercept thousands of people with their own people, and they scattered one after another.
Lin Ran ran for twenty or thirty miles in one go, until he could no longer hear the chaotic shouts and killing, and he couldn't see the fire rising to the sky, so he gave up and rested by a stream.
Holding a dog's tail and grass stalk, Lin Ran still didn't react a little, didn't he say that there were only more than eight hundred rebels? I'm afraid there are more than 2,000 people in that formation just now.
There aren't so many Shanyue people in Yuzhang County, right?
With so many Shanyue rebels, it was a sneak attack again, and the government troops over there must have been defeated. The crusade failed, and I don't know how Nanchang Taishou will react.
But the most important thing now is to go back to Xiaobai Village first. Without the government army, this task of suppressing bandits will definitely not be completed, so it is better to go back to the village first to discuss with Ah Fei and Zhao Ying.
When he returned to Xiaobai Village, the troops and cavalry led by Lin Ran were very complete, and there were almost no casualties except for a few people who were scattered in the chaos.
After placing the troops, Lin Ran summoned Ah Fei, Chu Tiankuo, Xue Min, and Zhao Ying to the administrative hall to discuss the next move.
"Little White Boss, I heard that the government army attacked the Shanyue rebels and defeated?" Chu Tiankuo asked.
"That's right, defeated. And it was a big defeat, tens of thousands of players turned into frightened birds, fled in all directions, and the government army also suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, I chose the right direction to break out, reacted quickly, and came back completely without any loss. Lin Ran said.
Ah Fei shook his head and sighed: "Tsk, more than 800 Shanyue rebels have defeated more than 10,000 coalition troops, I really don't know how the officers and soldiers of the court fought this battle, it's too cowardly." ”
"Not just eight hundred, but at least more than two thousand." Lin Ran shook his head and said, "The Shanyue rebels must have deliberately given Taishou a false information. I didn't expect these barbarians to use stratagems. ”
"They are so blatantly rebelling against the imperial court, aren't they afraid of the imperial court's suppression?" Chu Tiankuo asked.
"They dare to be so blatant, there must be some hole cards hidden behind them. Otherwise, the more than 2,000 Shanyue rebels would never have the courage to dare to do this. It's just that after suffering such a big loss this time, the imperial court will definitely not give up, and will definitely send troops to exterminate this group of rebels again. When the time comes, I'm afraid our villages will be unlucky again. ”
Sure enough, as Lin Ran expected, after the Shanyue army defeated the coalition of imperial court players, the Taishou of Yuzhang County could no longer hide the news of the defeat, and was known by Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and was furious, and mobilized more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Liyang and various counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, including more than 8,000 infantry troops and more than 2,000 horse troops.
Although the situation in all border counties in the world is not very stable now, and all the barbarians are ready to move, they have never dared to openly ambush the imperial army like the Shanyue rebels and killed a large number of imperial officers and soldiers.
This kind of thing, if it reaches the imperial court and Tianting, his Yangzhou assassin history can be dismissed by the ministers eight times.
Fortunately, he moved quickly, and when the news reached the capital, he had already spent a lot of silver taels to dot the ministers of the court and the Huangmen squire who was responsible for delivering the news to the saints, and he was spared.
In vain, he gave away all the money and property he had collected through various means since he took office for so many years, and Chen Wen was also annoyed and angry in his heart, and he mustered up all his strength to eliminate this group of arrogant rebels without an order from the imperial court.
