Chapter 475: Sifang Town, Fighting Tang Qi

The morning sun rises from the horizon, and half of the sky is dyed red, and the rippling water waves lap against the shore of the lake, and the lake is illuminated by the glow, showing an orange-red color.

In the early morning glow, the three big crab boats turned the huge water oars on both sides, like a big crab rampage, the wide hull, pushing the layers of water waves ahead of the rippling, the front end of the crab boat, is a slope flat bottom, so the big crab boat rushed directly onto the beach.

Several large planks were released and a makeshift bridge was built from that bite of the crab. There was a neighing sound of horses, and in a short time, a well-armed soldier pulled a war horse out of the crab barn, pulled the reins of the horse, and came to shore from the crab boat.

The three large crab boats, fully unloaded one hundred and fifty horses, and then they retracted the planks with great satisfaction, and then rowed the crab oars towards the lake.

"Scouts, immediately dispatch and reconnoiter around, while the others recover as soon as possible, check their equipment and weapons, and wait for a sortie at any time!" a captain in high-class armor shouted a loud order.

"Yes, Lord Lieutenant! Scout team, follow me!"

From the crowd, there were ten people who turned over and got on their horses, and in groups of two, they headed towards the east to beat their horses.

This is a section of the river bank to the west of Orange Yang County, this county is a large county in the east of Poyang Sea, under the jurisdiction of Poyang Prefecture, originally it has been quiet here, but with the fall of Xiangfan County, Donghu County fell into the war, Orange County is not so peaceful.

"Captain Qi, we found a small town in the southeast, from the man who was captured. I learned that this place is called Sifang Town, and there are no main enemy troops and horses stationed in the town, only less than 300 town guards, of which more than 200 are Xinding who were only pulled up at the end of last year!"

"In addition, I also found out that more than thirty miles northeast of Sifang Town is the county seat of Xi'an County, and there seems to be a battalion of enemy troops stationed there, and the detailed situation needs to be further investigated!"

The lieutenant groaned for a while, and said: "We went around to the enemy's rear from the waterway this time, and the target was the opponent's grain and grass supply line, and now I order, our first target is this Sifang Town, and after rushing into the town, we will burn all the warehouses and grain stores in the town!"

One hundred and fifty horsemen turned over and got on their horses, and under the leadership of this captain, they galloped straight to the town of Sifang.

It may have only been March, although the weather began to warm up, but there is still a time for spring ploughing, taking advantage of this last laziness, there are few people walking on the streets of Sifang Town, more are nested in the warm quilt, do some early morning sports that they like to do.

Although there are many rivers and lakes in Poyang Prefecture, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, there is no obstacle to this small force of cavalry with more than 100 cavalry, more than 100 cavalry, all the way unimpeded, and the distance of seven or eight miles is only less than two quarters of an hour.

Although the flames of war have been ignited in the nearby counties, there is not much smell of war here, and in a place that has been peaceful for hundreds of years, it takes butcher's knives and blood to break that peace.

The lazy town guards, under the urging of the captain of the guard, finished in an empty field outside the town and started a day's morning exercise. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. Originally, there were only a few dozen soldiers in this town, and it was more than enough to maintain law and order in the town and guard against the wandering water bandits on the Poyang Sea, but after the rebellion order was issued, the town's manpower also tripled.

Sticks are wielding, after more than two months of training, although these people have not grown much, but they can still see on the surface, and no one present thinks that they need to go to war, anyway, they will have money for training, and it will not take too much effort to pretend.

The sound of horses' hooves came from a loess road in the west, alarming this group of guards who were doing training, the captain of the guard in this town was not a straw bale, he thought he had been a soldier for a few years, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he said to a thin man beside him: "Go, climb on the flagpole and see what is going on!"

When the young man heard this, he nodded, climbed the flagpole and looked towards the dirt road to the west: "Captain, it seems that there are quite a few cavalry rushing to our side!"

"Oh, can you see each other's faces!"

"Captain, the armor they wear looks different from yours!"

"Blow the trumpet, there is an enemy attack!" There is no need to say more, just look at the dirt road with his eyes, and he knows that this group of people will not be the soldiers and horses on their side, but the cavalry of the anti-king.

However, everything seemed a little late, this group of newly trained town soldiers was completely a group of peasants, except for putting on a show, where they had seen a battle, and suddenly it became a mess, some of them ran directly to the town, and more of them were on the spot, and they didn't know what they should do.

"Kill!" Although this cavalry is under the banner of the King of Xiangyang, it is actually Li Tang's soldiers and horses, belonging to the Sixth Fold Chong Mansion in the south, and it has been after a bloody battle last year, and one hundred and fifty cavalry suddenly showed the shape of an arrow, and there was no mercy at all in the empty field of killing.

This group of town guards, only those old guards have weapons in their hands, and the rest are only holding wooden sticks in their hands, facing this group of wolf-like, heavily armed iron horses, they rushed to kill each other at once.

"The first compartment continues to kill, the second compartment rushes into the town, and the third compartment goes around to the east of the town! Fight quickly, there are those who resist, and there is no mercy for killing!" The lieutenant was covered in blood, and the war knife in his hand danced non-stop, and the so-called native soldier in front of him was like a sheep, completely ignorant of resistance, and let him wave his war knife and fall to the ground.

Moreover, with this charge, the town guards of these hundreds of people have completely collapsed, and the stubborn guard captain in the corner will not be able to walk away, so he will be killed, and those old guards are not necessarily much stronger than Xinding.

Within an hour, the town of Sifang had completely fallen, with one hundred and fifty cavalry dead and six wounded. "Lord Captain, someone on the other side forcibly broke out and killed one of us, it seems that he is heading to the northeast, do you want to chase it!" The captain was stunned for a moment, he fought before, but he was not even slightly injured, but he didn't expect that after breaking through the town, there was a loss, but the captain quickly returned to normal, and said: "Let him go, let people gather all the grain and grass collected, and then burn the warehouse together, and find some people to prepare dry food, and the scout team will go out ten miles in front of the scout, and the others will hurry up and rest!"

"How long will it take to get to the county seat of Orange County?" Leng Zhuo asked a guide.

"Soon, at our current speed, we will definitely be able to reach the county seat of Orange County before noon!" the guide looked at the sky and said.

Leng Zhuo nodded, pulled the reins of the horse, and continued to gallop, the reason why Leng Zhuo wanted to go north was not groundless, the damn Pang family actually gave him a salary from the bottom of the kettle, although he threw an account to Leng Zhuo, but this account looked like he had done tricks, and the original clerks of the logistics battalion were also the henchmen of the Pang family, so Leng Zhuo was completely clueless now.

I don't know the situation ahead, he can't start work at all, but there are priorities, and the battle has already started on the north side, so Leng Zhuo naturally has to know the situation here first, as for other places, it should be short of food so soon.

Orange Yang County is located in the south of Donghu County, and it has naturally become a logistics transit place, Leng Zhuo came here not only to understand the situation, but also to see if he can collect some food on the spot and temporarily replenish the military food, after all, it will take some time to transport grain from the rear.

Leng Zhuo's more than 100 horses raised a soil dragon on the official road, and when he was ten miles away from the county seat of Chengyang County, from the dirt road in the southwest direction, he slanted out a horse, and the person on the horse was wearing a skirt, of course, it is not uncommon for a woman to ride a horse, but this woman has an arrow stuck in her back, and the blood wets half of her shoulder, which attracts attention.

"Girl, stop for a moment, what are you?" Leng Zhuo grabbed the reins of the horse and asked with a frown.

The woman on the horse also pulled the reins of the horse, glanced at Leng Zhuo and the cavalry behind her, and said: "Which legion are you from, I am the daughter of the mayor of Sifang Town, Sifang Town was raided by an anti-king cavalry, and now the town has been breached, you go to the rescue, I will go to the county seat to report!"

"Where is your town!" Leng Zhuo's brows furrowed even deeper, the woman turned around, pointed to the southwest, and said: "Follow this road, go straight all the way, you can see Sifang Town, the other side has at least a hundred cavalry, you go to entangle first, wait for me to call reinforcements!"

Leng Zhuo smacked his mouth, grandma's, looking down on this marquis yesterday, more than a hundred horsemen also need reinforcements: "Let's go!" Leng Zhuo turned his horse's head and went straight to Sifang Town with more than 100 light horses.

"Young master, look!" After running out of the distance of six or seven miles, he saw in the distance, a thick smoke rising into the sky, which could be seen from afar.

"Grandma's! speed up!" Leng Zhuo couldn't help but scold, and at the same time increased the speed of the horse again, but compared to the tall horses in the north, the horses in the south were obviously a little inferior in speed.

"Enemy Scout!"

"Dade, go up and kill him for me!" Leng Zhuo said loudly.

When Li Yuanba heard this, he pulled the Lei Jin beast under his crotch and rushed out of the formation, the Lei Jin beast roared, and suddenly a thunder light fell from the sky, and the scout turned around and didn't run far, he was hit by his head, and fell off the horse with thunder shining all over his body.

The distance of more than ten miles, the fast horse is only a quarter of an hour, and soon, Sifang Town appeared in Leng Zhuo's eyes, but at this moment, most of the town has fallen into a sea of fire, after all, the wind in March is still very urgent, and many of the houses on this side of Chuzhou are wooden structures, once a fire starts, it will not be small.

Many townspeople fled for their lives, but at the entrance of the town, there was a cavalry **, obviously those cavalry who raided here, Leng Zhuo snorted lightly, and directly pulled out the ghost blade autumn water, and a cold breath emanated from the wound, although the sun above his head was like fire, but he could feel the coldness on the 1st.

"Kill!"

The long-lost battle made Leng Zhuo bloody, and the soul of Qiushui flashed with a black glow and rushed straight to Tang Qi on the opposite side.
