Chapter 342: The Peripheral War Begins

"Wait!" At this moment, Song Shorty walked out, "King Chuang is not in a hurry, he will fight Nanyang and wave his hand, but these two reinforcements of unknown origin outside are not okay, Nanyang City will not leave and will not be in a hurry to fight, why don't we eat this reinforcement before attacking the city!" There are no worries, and there are fewer unexpected changes! ”

"Otherwise", Li Zicheng didn't speak, Gu Junen walked out, "What the military advisor said is extremely true, it's just that there are 200,000 people in our righteous army, from here to the north to Nanyang City, Purple Mountain, Wild Boar Ridge and Tazi Mountain, Moshan and Yangshan in the west of Nanyang City, our rebels are stationed, Dushan in the southeast of the city also has our garrison, and there are Baihe moats in the east and south of the city, which are not suitable for garrisons, but there are also our patrols."

"What the hell do you want to say, who here doesn't know what our rebels are doing with this?" Niu Jinxing glanced at Gu Junen impatiently, he didn't like this person very much, and there were few people he liked.

"What I want to say is that Nanyang City is now in our pocket, and it is within reach, even if the other party has reinforcements, not to mention that the total is not more than 10,000, we can send another team of men and horses to snipe those reinforcements while attacking the city, don't forget that we have 200,000 soldiers and horses!" Gu Junen talked eloquently! Everyone nodded slightly, and Li Zicheng exhaled, "According to what Jun En said, attack the city in the afternoon, and order Liu Zongmin to be the generalissimo of the siege, Liu Fangliang to be the deputy marshal, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Tichun to lead people and horses across the Baihe River to block the reinforcements of officers and soldiers!" ”

Qiaotou Town, a small town between Sheqi County and Nanyang, because it is too close to Nanyang, the people in the town have long run away, leaving only some cats and dogs foraging around in the empty town.

However, early this morning, the originally empty town was suddenly stuffed to the brim, and the officers and soldiers, Huang Degong's subordinate Weng Zhiqi's vanguard of 5,000 officers and soldiers rushed here to rest, and with them came a maverick army of 300 soldiers, who were very different from the officers and soldiers in terms of dress and behavior. They are bandits, oh bandit-born Huaxia Army!

Yes, Zheng Hong and Li Qingshan, the two rivals who couldn't catch up with Weng Zhiqi's army, now the two armies are united and rushing together, but they are also happy, both sides have confidence, the officers and soldiers envy the equipment of the Huaxia Army, the Huaxia Army envy the large formation of the officers and soldiers, and the five thousand men and horses follow how safe they are!

"Brother Weng, it should be Nanyang not far ahead." In a small courtyard, Zheng Hong took out a can of beer from his backpack and took a sip and handed it to Weng Zhiqi opposite, Weng Zhiqi hurriedly took it with both hands and took a sip and burped, "Less than fifty miles, the spies have already returned, but the situation is not optimistic!" ”

"Let's listen to it", Li Qingshan, who was smoking on the side, took over the conversation

"There's not much to say, we don't have much information to inquire about when we first arrive. According to the spies' report, it is difficult for the spies around Nanyang to find useful information in depth, but there is good news, there is a team of officers and soldiers stationed on this side of the White River, and it is unknown who it is. I guess I'm here to help! ”

"Reinforcements? Henan is now equal to an empty place, and the states and counties are not guaranteed by themselves, and there are still people to support? Who could it be? Li Qingshan lowered his head and frowned

"I don't know who it is? However, there are not many people and horses, and the strength is very thin, you must know that the thief army has more than 100,000 this time. This point will not pop up if people put it in" Weng Zhiqi said as he raised his head and drank the whole can of beer, looking at Zheng Hong's heart was dark, Nima. Lao Tzu has this can left, give you a drink, why do you give me all to drink! But these words are not easy to say, so you can only stare dryly!

Li Qingshan, who was on the side, was concerned about the situation, and after listening to Weng Zhiqi's words, his brows furrowed, "The people who come to support at this juncture are all righteous people, the thief army is so powerful, and they are so close to Nanyang, will they be ......" said and glanced up at Weng Zhiqi, "The brothers are almost resting, I think let's set off early, arrive early and rest assured!" ”

"Yes", Zheng Hong also stood up!

"Well, I think, we shouldn't get too close, after all, the thieves are outnumbered, and I believe that they now know that we are coming, it will be dangerous to get too close, and we came to contain the other party so that they can't divide their troops and not attack the city with all their strength instead of hitting the stone with eggs! When our main force arrives in a few days, it's not too late to move forward," Weng Zhiqi looked at Li Qingshan and Zheng Hong and said lightly

"But what if the officers and soldiers in front are attacked? Let's ignore it, it's better to hold together to save strength than to be broken down one by one", Li Qingshan disagreed with Weng Zhiqi's suggestion, but Weng Zhiqi just smiled and didn't say anything, the implication is self-evident, we are not a unit, you want to go!

The three of them are all human spirits, and many words can be understood without saying an expression, seeing that Li Qingshan was about to change his face, Zheng Hong hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Weng, although you and I are from different backgrounds, don't forget that your uncle and my uncle are brothers, to put it mildly, although Ping Nanbo has experienced a hundred battles, he still listens to my uncle's advice in the matter of transferring troops to fight, so ......"

"Hehe, if Fu Xingbo is here, he just let me eat, I won't hesitate, I know why? Because Fu Xingbo is a god who descends to earth, he is like a god, but the two brothers are not, and to put it mildly, my Weng Zhiqi has more experience in marching and fighting than the sum of the two brothers...... "Weng Zhiqi's meaning is still that sentence, you want to go up!"

"You ......", Li Qingshan was furious, Zheng Hong hurriedly grabbed him, "Brother Li is angry", he turned his head and glanced at Weng Zhiqi, "Brother Weng, you are right, we are here to contain the thief army, but the distance of more than fifty miles is not a little too far, in case the officers and soldiers attack the city, we can't catch up with the rescue at such a long distance, and even when we run over, the city has been captured, and besides, this town is not dangerous to defend, in case the thief army divides our troops to attack, we are afraid that we will ......"

Well! Weng Zhiqi lowered his head and thought about it when he heard this, "Brother Zheng's words are also reasonable, it's better like this, let's move forward for a while, how about finding a favorable terrain to station, Brother Li, don't be so angry, marching and fighting is not child's play, thousands of lives can't be careless!" ”

"Hey! General Weng, I'm not angry with you, according to me, our stationing in Baihe is the best place to defend, there is a river to be a barrier, although the thief army wants to attack it for a while, it is not so easy, even if we attack it, we have time to retreat, moreover, we can clean up the forces of the Hedong thief army by stationing by the river, and wait for the main force to come over There is a lot less trouble! Li Qingshan's face was sincere, and Weng Zhiqi nodded again and again, "Brother Li, the brother was too short just now, okay, just do what Brother Li said, march immediately!" ”

It is said that it is rare for the army to set up camp and it is very cumbersome and troublesome, but Weng Zhiqi's vanguard is much easier, they are pioneers, there is no baggage, and most of them are cavalry, some dry food is tied to the saddle, it is as simple as turning over the horse and you can set off, as for the three hundred pioneers of the Huaxia Army, it is even simpler, each person has a black backpack, and they can also turn over the horse and pat the horse's butt to leave!

Fifty miles away is definitely not close, even if you ride a horse, you have to walk for more than an hour, that is still a fast horse, but the brigade marches, and it is so close to Nanyang, the team does not dare to be careless, and can only let the horse gallop after being scouted by spies, so the Huaxia army who can't be idle along the way plays a new game, then kill the thief army spies, because they found all kinds of thieves who can travel not long after they left the town.

Spies are scouts, always on the front line of the enemy and us, and also the front line of danger, the spies on both sides are fighting each other is already commonplace, every time you encounter this situation, the fight is who has a large number of people, good equipment, and fierce firepower! Obviously, these Huaxia troops have taken a great advantage, and after discovering the other party, they haven't waited for you to take a bow and shoot an arrow, a crossbow and a trigger, and the matter is almost settled!

It was not boring to play a game of cat and mouse like this along the way, but soon a bad news came, and several officers and soldiers who were exploring the road in front of Weng Zhiqi came on horseback with an eager expression: "General, there is a war going on ahead!" ”

"War, where?" Weng Zhiqi was stunned, now he has only walked forty miles!

"Five miles ahead, an army of officers and soldiers and a thief army are fighting, and it seems that the officers and soldiers are no longer supported! The spy hurriedly said

"Officers and soldiers? It can't be that army of officers and soldiers", Weng Zhiqi's face was very ugly, "How many thieves are there?" ”

"The formation is very large, not less than 10,000, how many subordinates have come to report to the general before they have time to carefully investigate!" The spy wiped the sweat from his face as he spoke! Weng Zhiqi's teeth were about to bow his head and ponder

"What else do you think, hurry up and send troops to the rescue! A little later, only bones remain! Li Qingshan shouted and looked at Weng Zhiqi, Weng Zhiqi gritted his teeth, "Okay!" Command, march quickly! ”

"Let's go first!" Zheng Hong looked at Weng Zhiqi, who was giving orders, and stretched out his hand to whip the horse, "The brothers of the Huaxia Army keep up!" ”

A field a few miles away on the east bank of the White River, the sound of killing shook the sky, and a steady stream of thieves from the other side of the river were rushing over and fighting with the officers and soldiers, this was only a team of 3,000 officers and soldiers, although the number was small, but each of them was extremely brave, especially the anger did not put the thief soldiers in front of him several times more than in his eyes!

Yes, this is exactly the people of Liu Guangzuo, the deputy chief soldier of Xiangcheng who came day and night, this guy rushed to the outside of Nanyang City early in the morning, stationed by the river to send spies to collect intelligence, and by the way contacted the fierce tiger in the city, but the spies just came back and brought him a bad news, there were thieves in the south of the city, as if they were going to attack the city, which surprised Liu Guangzuo, and he was really ready to raise troops to cross the river, but unexpectedly, there were spies to report soon, you don't go, people came to greet you, and a thief army under Dushan in the southeast of the city rushed straight to come!

This news suddenly surprised Liu Guangzuo, everything came too hastily, it seems that the thief army is going to attack the city and stop itself!

When it came to the number of thieves who were more than 20,000 to block the attack, it did make him feel cold on his back, but the big battle was imminent, so he couldn't run away because the other party had more heads, so he discussed with several of his subordinates, and immediately organized a counter-sniper attack, taking advantage of the barrier of the White River to kill him!
