Chapter 97: Reinforcements
Li Tong was stunned when he heard this, "Fake? Acquaintance? β
Thinking about it, the more Li Tong thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, it had been two days, and he had gone to the Jingzhou Army's military village to provoke forty times, and each time the other party did not show up, nor did he come out to answer, but just hung up the war-free card, and put on a posture that if you want to attack the village, you will attack.
If it's really a civil appointment, they all brought soldiers and horses, why don't you dare to see people? Isn't this a cover-up?
Li Tong pondered, "If it's not Wenpin, who is it?" β
Lang Lingling analyzed: "General Li, the lower officials even think that it is not the Jingzhou Army at all, it is all to this point, if it is really the Jingzhou Army, no matter who is in charge of the army, what is the difference?" Why don't you dare to meet anyone? β
Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lang Lingling, "Not the Jingzhou Army?" That's to take a pawn? β
As soon as he finished speaking, his face couldn't help but change, "Could it be Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Langling belongs to Runan County, the east is controlled by Qin Feng's Flame Army, the south is Jiangxia County of Jingzhou, the west is Nanyang, and the north is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
It was impossible for the Jiangdong Army to attack a small county town through the southern part of Jiangxia County and Runan County to the east, and it was even more impossible for Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui in the west.
"Qin Wuyi, the leading general in the opposite military village must be Qin Wuyi!" Li Tong's face was hideous, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he almost said this with a roar.
Lang Lingling was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he touched his goatee, "It is unlikely that the lower officials think that Qin Wuyi personally led the troops to rob it, maybe it was his subordinate generals!" β
Li Tong said angrily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" If Qin Wuyi just sent a general to lead the troops, would he despise Li too much? β
Lang Lingling glanced at Li Tong and muttered in his heart, how capable do you think you are? Ren Qin Wuyi can send a part, and he already looks up to you.
Of course, he couldn't say this, so he could only muttered a few times in his heart, but said, "General Li, if Qin Wuyi came in person, he wouldn't have brought only two thousand people, right?" β
At this time, there was a shout from outside the tent: "Report-"
"Newspaperβ"
A horse carrying a knight galloped from outside the camp, and the sergeants guarding the camp gate were about to stop it, but they found the knight on horseback lying on his stomach, staggering, and the horse had just galloped to the camp gate, and the knight on horseback fell.
When the sergeants saw that the man had an arrow stuck in his back, several men immediately ran over.
When Li Tong and Lang Lingling came out of the tent, they saw a sergeant rushing towards him with a letter, and several sergeants running behind him carrying a messenger.
"General Qiyu, Yang'an City sent a messenger to send a letter asking for help!"
A letter for help? Li Tong and Lang Lingling's faces changed greatly, he immediately snatched the letter from the sergeant's hand and opened it, and immediately looked at the messenger who was already unconscious after visiting, "Quickly find a military doctor to wake him up!" β
Soon a medic was brought in by the sergeant with a medicine box on his back, and after a few needles, the messenger woke up.
"I'm Li Tong, what happened in Yang'an City?"
The messenger immediately struggled to get up, "General, Yang'an City was besieged and attacked by Qin Feng's army, and within one day, our army suffered three hundred casualties. β
Next, Li Tong asked several more questions, which corroborated the contents of the letter one by one, and asked about the relevant details, and the messenger answered fluently, which confirmed that the messenger was really sent by Yang'ancheng.
Li Tong's face turned pale and he took a few steps back, "I fell for Qin Wuyi's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" β
The messenger pleaded, "General, quickly pull out the camp and return to Yang'an!" β
Li Tong's expression gradually became firm, his eyes became clear, and he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to withdraw the camp and return to Yang'an after half an hour!" β
"Order!"
Lang Lingling immediately said to Li Tong: "General Li, after the army leaves, what should the county do?" There are only 300 county soldiers in this county, how can they resist the opponent's 2,000 army? β
Li Tong sighed: "Guo County's order, I am also helpless, Yang'an City is too important, if Yang'an is lost, the imperial court will completely lose control of Runan, and the Jingzhou army can also enter at any time!" After I led the army to leave, you can transfer the people in the city into the city defense, fortunately, the defense materials in the city are quite sufficient, and the other party only has 2,000 people, and the other party should not be able to break through Langling City for the time being, wait for my return army to repel the men and horses of Qin Feng's headquarters, and then turn around and come back to relieve the siege of Langling! β
Lang Lingling smiled bitterly, he could only watch Li Tong return to Yang'an City with his men and horses, but he couldn't be passive and slack off, there were still 2,000 flame troops dressed as Jingzhou Army outside, and he had to go back to the city to recruit the people to participate in the defense of the city.
At about midnight in the afternoon, Li Tong led his men and horses on a rapid march, hoping to rush back to Yang'an City as soon as possible.
When the army marched to the vicinity of Wuluo Mountain, Li Tong suddenly felt uneasy, he thought that he was worried about the safety of Yang'an City, so he didn't care for a while, and only continued to hurry with the army.
But I didn't expect that after only a cup of tea, I heard a loud roar from the hillside: "All the soldiers will kill me and capture Li Tong alive!" β
For a while, arrows rained down, and Li Tong's soldiers and generals were hit by arrows one after another, and countless people fell, and the soldiers immediately understood that they had been ambushed, and they were all in chaos in an instant, and everyone was scurrying around like headless flies.
"Killβ"
"Killβ"
With the rain of arrows, a large number of shouts and killings came from the mountainsides on both sides, and countless ambushes rushed down from the mountainside.
Li Tong tried his best to control the restless war horse, and when he saw the soldiers under his command in a panic, he was in a hurry, and immediately shouted: "All the soldiers don't panic, don't panic, form a formation, form a formation to resist the enemy!" β
There were shouts of killing and screams everywhere, and although Li Tong's shouts were loud, they were covered up before they could reach far, and there were very few sergeants who followed orders.
The soldiers under Li Tong's command didn't have time to form a formation to resist, Gan Ning and Su Fei had already rushed down from the mountainsides on both sides with their soldiers and horses, and soon divided and surrounded the soldiers of Li Tongbu, and the arrows kept shooting into the crowd and taking away their lives.
The two sides fought, and the sound of weapons resounding through the valley.
"All the soldiers, go out with me!" Li Tong roared, the steel gun in his hand stabbed out several times in a row, a few blood splashes, he rode his horse in a hurry, but because of the resistance in front, either the enemy or his own command, he was blocked several times and could not get out.
"Li Tong, where to go!" A loud roar came from the right.
Li Tong saw a tall general rushing towards him on horseback, and he immediately turned around to meet him, shouting: "Where is the rat here, ambush your Grandpa Li!" β
Gan Ning rode his horse and rushed over and shouted: "Ba County Gan Ning is here to take the head of your master!" β
