Section 42 Soldiers

"Don't be in a hurry for a while, spring is coming, we have to discuss it carefully, although it is only thirty or forty miles, but those defeated deserters must first flee for their lives, and then they will dare to run to Fuli after making up their minds, there are still two or three hours to go. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mei said in a deep voice.

Hearing the hidden meaning of Mei Guo's words, Tian Chunlai stabilized his mind a little, stared at Mei Guo and said, "Brother Guo, but what are your concerns?"

"I guess no matter how we hurry, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the routs who fled back to Fuli. Mei Guo thought for a moment, "But those routs were fleeing for their lives in a panic at that time, and it is estimated that they don't know how many of their colleagues escaped in the end, so it is worth fighting the time difference, but I think I am afraid that there should not be many people who blend into the city of Fuli, otherwise they will be suspected by the other party and even refuse to open the city gate." ”

"Brother Guo means that we have a small group of troops to blend in, and then control the city gate, and finally ......" Tian Chunlai understood the meaning as soon as he heard it, "No problem, I will personally lead the team, one person is enough, Brother Guo will lead the army to follow up later, and here we will also let the scouts quickly notify the right first army and the right second army along the Bianqu to let them speed up their advance, we are in Fuli City to block the southward probation army, and it can only be said that it is stronger than Tongqiao, and we have no chance to block the enemy at Tongqiao, but we have at least more than thirty percent chance to leave the city!"

"I also think so, I won't stick to it at this time, in the spring, you and Zheng gradually bring a battalion of soldiers, well, bring some soldiers, I believe that smart people can still see the situation clearly at this time, if we promise a heavy reward, there will definitely be people who are willing to take this risk!" I personally led the army to follow, and if we could win this battle, it would be enough, if not, we would immediately retreat to the bridge and prepare for the worst. ”

"Okay, then I'll go find those soldiers immediately, the people from Wuwentang have also come to contact, I heard that they have some special methods of attacking the heart, I want to see if they can convince these soldiers to serve us in just one or two hours. Tian Chunlai was also excited.

"Without further ado, let's go our separate ways, you go and arrange the personnel, my side has to deploy the defense first, and at the same time arrange the army, it is now Shenshi, forty miles, let's arrive in two hours, and then pretend to be a rout into the city, after you succeed, you will set fire to the letter, I will lead the army to attack the city overnight, in order to kill in one fell swoop. !”

In this case, the more hesitant he is, the more he will delay the fighter, only after the enemy has not fully reacted, he will take Fuli in one fell swoop, and establish a defensive line in Fuli, so that he can have a chance to win the battle of carrying the reforming army southward.

Zhou Yakui sensed the problem at the first time.

Fu is too close to the bridge, more than thirty miles, as long as people run for their lives, it can be easily reached in two hours.

The successive routs arrived at the south gate of Fuli City in the evening, but at this time the city gate had already been closed, and dozens of routs gathered outside the city to shout and curse, which made him extremely big.

He had already received an order from Yao Shuai that the army of Shang Shuai and the Jiedu envoy would arrive in Fuli in the near future and ask him to prepare, and Yao Shuai had already led the main army to Qixian to prepare for a battle against the Huaiyou army.

Zhou Yakui is very aware of the situation of the army under his command, not only is the establishment not full, only about four battalions, but also the combat effectiveness is also worrying.

The elites were all brought to Qi County by Yao Shuai, and Zhou Yakui was left with his own army, and Zhou Yakui also knew his own family affairs.

Fortunately, Yao Shuai also ordered, there is no need to go out of the city to fight or anything, wait until Shang Shuai and Jie Du make the army come to help, make preparations for reception, and continue to guard Fu and leave the city after Shang Shuai and Jie Du make the army go south.

Standing at the head of the city, Zhou Yakui searched for the suspicions of the group of people below, and asked, "Have you verified it?" Is it the brother on the other side of the bridge?"

"My lord, I have verified, yes, they are all brothers of the Ninth Army of the Right Army, and two of them are relatives of my brothers. A battalion commander next to him with a knife on his waist nodded and answered.

"Don't be careless, since the Huaiyou Army can raid Tongqiao, it is inevitable that they will attack our Fuli's idea, we are too close to Tongqiao. Zhou Yakui touched his chin with a straight face and said: "Send the two soldiers out to check, let them retreat to a hundred steps away, and the crossbowmen on the city wall are on guard to prevent the enemy from mixing in." ”

The battalion commander who pressed the knife next to him laughed and couldn't help but say: "My lord, it's not like that, there are only dozens of people, and everyone knows each other, if you really want to rush in, it will also be a fatal sake." Besides, the enemy occupies Tongqiao, and they have to worry about the flanking attack between us and Yao Shuai's army in Qi County, and now they have too late to protect themselves, and they dare to divide their troops?"

Choked by the words of his subordinates for a while, Zhou Yakui became angry: "Hmph, be careful in everything, who would have thought that the bridge would be attacked by the enemy?"

The subordinates didn't dare to refute, so they could only mutter and go down to arrange.

Soon, with the shouts of the soldiers on the city wall, the defeated soldiers under the city retreated a hundred steps away in the sound of scolding, waiting for the arrangements in the city.

As the city gate opened, under the leadership of the commander of the sword battalion, the two soldiers were fully armed and looked like they were facing a great enemy, and went out of the city to guard at the city gate drawbridge, and then a group of soldiers went out of the city to identify and check the routs who were constantly scolding.

This process did not take long, after all, everyone knew the roots, the bridge was very close to Fuli, and many supplies for the garrison of Fuli were also sent from the bridge, and the soldiers on both sides were very familiar.

"My lord, I checked them one by one, they are all brothers in the rear camp of the Right Ninth Army. "According to them, it should be the Huaiyou Navy disguised as a grain ship to raid the bridge, and now the Ninth Army has been defeated, but some of them are still fighting in the streets, and their battalion commander killed in battle, so ......"

"A bunch of fools!" Zhou Yakui looked down on these guys who fled the battlefield before the war was completely over, but he also knew that in fact, the Ninth Army also decided its fate when it was attacked, and the result could be imagined.

"My lord, we can't take care of the affairs of the Ninth Army, maybe Lord Wu will escape back in a while, let these people enter the city first, right?" The battalion commander who pressed the knife pinched the gold ingot in the leather bag on his waist, which was stuffed to him during the inspection, these old soldiers ate and drank spicy food and spicy food in Tongqiao, Tongqiao is a land and water wharf, and the merchant ships in the past have to give these guys a supply, no wonder it is a gold ingot as soon as they make a move, and after these guys enter the city, they have to beat them well.

"Well, let them line up and enter the city in an orderly manner, and our brothers should be on guard. Zhou Yakui didn't have a better idea for a while.

It's impossible not to let these people enter the city, besides, Fu Licheng will have two thousand soldiers under his own hands, these remnants, it is estimated that there will be two or three hundred defeated soldiers to escape in the future, rectify it, maybe they can also make up a battalion, if Wu Tianlei dies in battle, he can logically digest this battalion and turn it into his own subordinates.

He Zhou's palms were already full of sweat.

He subconsciously looked behind him, but there was no movement.

If they don't, they can't blame themselves and do what they have to do.

After being captured, he once thought that he would become a prisoner, but he was also a capital leader, but he found that he and several brothers were pulled aside by the Huaiyou Army alone, and soon someone came to talk to him.

He Zhou has been stationed in Tongqiao for many years, his wife, concubines and children are all in Tongqiao, he originally thought that he could live like this in peace, even when the ant thieves were raging, he did not dare to fight here.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I learned that the Huai Right Army was advancing north, I thought that there might be a war, so I became prisoners under the city.

The ferocity of the Huaiyou Army and the strength of the force made him realize that he could not fight at all.

He saw with his own eyes that the military commander Wu Tianlei was shot through the heart by the other party's gun-wielding general, which made him almost heartbroken.

You must know that Lord Wu's martial arts level has reached the end of his life, and he is also a few strong people under Yao Shuai, but he never thought that he would be killed by the opponent with one shot in just ten rounds, and at that moment, he felt that he almost peed his pants.

Becoming a captive naturally means that he has the consciousness of becoming a captive, and the other party knows his own situation very well, especially the outer room he raises, which also makes He Zhou sweat coldly.

The next request also made He Zhou unable to refuse, to cooperate with the Huaiyou Army to blend into Fu Licheng, of course, not one, but to cooperate with the next rout soldiers to make a scene.

He Zhou didn't know how many of these people were on the same "special mission" as himself, but he knew that he must be the only one.

The soldiers began to enter the city.

It was not yet dark, but the torches were lit, and a commotion came from behind.

Twenty or thirty more people appeared.

The soldiers outside the city gate immediately became vigilant, but when they saw that there were not many people, only twenty or thirty people, they were most relieved.

Zhou Yakui, who was on the city wall, also saw this situation, and his heart relaxed a little after a tightening, but he still didn't dare to ignore it.

He immediately ordered the rout to be suspended from entering the city, and while ordering the two battalions on the south gate to be on guard, he personally went down to the city tower with a cadre of personal guards to check and understand outside the city gate.

Soon the routs who were about to enter the city and the twenty or thirty routs who followed behind converged, and the great happiness of escaping made them hug each other and weep.

Zhou Yakui carefully stood by the suspension bridge and observed the performance of these soldiers, everything seemed normal, it was indeed a joy and joy after escaping his life, but this chaotic situation still made him very uneasy.
