Chapter 725: Crazy Xue Rengui
Whew, whew, Sanbao stopped, and the mouth of the xiōng rose and fell violently: "My lord, it's really not good, let's take a break, it's broken when I'm running"
On the not dense hilly mountain road, through the sparse branches and leaves, thousands of broken suns shone in the grass, only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy leaned on a thick tree trunk, panting heavily, his clothes and armor had long been wet with sweat, and his tired face looked unpolished.
While speaking, Xue Rengui, who was in the lead, walked forward seven or eight meters again, and then stopped, looking at the subordinates behind him, but they were paralyzed on the ground one by one, like a snake without bones, and there was no jīng god lying on his stomach, Xue Rengui frowned slightly, but he did not open his mouth to reprimand.
Tiger roaring town, after killing more than 40 Li Tang cavalry in a row, cleaned up the battlefield, Xue Rengui took people directly to the north to drill the forest, two days ago, near the official road leading to the north and south, but another enemy scout was caught, and Xue Rengui cleaned it up, but asked a big news.
This scout is not Li Tang's registered soldiers, but when Xiangyang's làn, attached to the rebel army against the king, after the king of Xiangyang was * dropped, this army of soldiers and horses crossed the river, and finally was compiled as Li Tang's auxiliaries, that is, the second-line soldiers and horses.
Li Tang successively occupied Guangling, Dongchang, most of Poyang Mansion, and one part of Xiaoxiang Mansion, and it can be said that he has dominated northern Chu, and in order to effectively control these places, the scale of the auxiliary army has been greatly expanded.
The front soldiers reached the periphery of Suzaku City, but because the empire implemented the strong wall and cleared the wilderness all the way, although the cleaning was not very clean, it still caused some trouble to Li Tang's soldiers and horses to the south, and the grain and grass could not keep up in time, so they had to be transported from the occupied place, in addition, it was the siege equipment, after all, the Suzaku Great Plain is the most developed area of Suzaku Mansion, and there are no forests in the territory that are even larger, and there are no materials to build siege equipment on the spot.
If it was Li Tang's army scout, Xue Rengui was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask anything, but this auxiliary army scout did not have this problem, and from the mouth of this scout, Xue Rengui learned that in the past two or three days, there was a batch of grain, grass and siege equipment from Xiaoxiang Mansion to the south.
After hearing the news, Xue Rengui's eyes suddenly lit up, although there were only a dozen people around him, Xue Rengui still led more than a dozen of his subordinates into the hills and mountains, and the target was naturally this batch of southbound baggage.
"Temporarily rest for half an hour" Xue Rengui didn't feel much fatigue, but obviously the physical strength of these subordinates was far from being comparable to him.
"My lord, water" Sanbao took a water bladder from his waist and handed it to Xue Rengui, and then sat directly on the yellow weeds, but he didn't want to get up again.
"My lord, isn't it a bit too much for a dozen of us to rob each other's baggage...... , The scout said that the other party has three thousand guards alone, and there are only thirteen of us, even if you are strong and skilled in martial arts, but this is too much of a disparity. ”
In the battle of Tiger Roaring Town, Xue Rengui's courage made all the soldiers with him convinced of this captain, and they almost bowed and worshipped, in their eyes, a strong man like his own adult, even if he was a brigade commander, it was more than enough to be a brigade commander, but he only served as a small scout squad leader, which was incomprehensible, but no matter what, with such a strong man leading them, their hearts were unprecedentedly relieved.
Originally, they all unconditionally supported Xue Rengui's decision, but this time it was really a bit unacceptable, thirteen people, to rob the baggage team escorted by three thousand people, even if the adults they admired were powerful, this was a bit unreliable
Xue Rengui looked at Sanbao, but patted this kid's head, and said: "I took you to rob the other party's baggage, but I didn't say that I wanted to fight head-on, I'm not stupid, hurry up and take a break I won't joke with my life."
In the southeast of Xiaoxiang Mansion, Huye Town, before the sun set, a long convoy appeared on the official road, and more than ten cavalry cavalry were speeding all the way.
Huye Town, the entrance of the northern foot of Fox Hill, is also an important town on the north-south official road, to the south is the mountain road that passes through the hills of Fox Hill, Dayan Mountain and Piqiu, and this road is also the main official road through this hill, if you don't go from here, you can only go to the west of Xiangshui Lake, but according to the road, it is to detour more than 2,000 miles, and the road is not very peaceful, because the empire's Poyang Sea Master is still active.
The dozen or so horsemen quickly entered the town, and it was not long before the town was lit with smoke, and as the long dragon arrived in the town, the sun was setting and the food was out of the pot.
Huye Town, which was ten rooms and nine empty because of the battle, became boiling and lively because of the arrival of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and in a forest outside Huye Town, where the fox hill spread down the mountain, Xue Rengui and more than ten other people were nesting in the grass, looking at the brightly lit and noisy town.
"It's so fragrant" Sanbao, who was nibbling on some hard flatbreads, tore the cold and hard cakes, and sniffed his nose fiercely, smelling the aroma wafting from the town a mile away.
"My lord, when are we going to do it, are we waiting for them to fall asleep" San Bao swallowed the dry food in his hand in two bites, turned his head to Xue Rengui and asked, obviously the aroma in the town made him feel very uncomfortable.
Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "No, there are only a dozen of us, even if we can sneak in, we can't burn much things, and when they enter the official road, do you remember the section of the mountain road when they came before?"
"Your Excellency is talking about the winding road around Dayan Mountain?"
Xue Rengui nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, Dayan Mountain Pandao cuts out a road from the mountainside, it is the narrowest section of the entire north-south official road, it can only accommodate two big cars to pass through, the mountain is steep, as long as the exit is blocked and the entrance is blocked, it can be said that there is no way in the sky, and there is no way in the ground."
"When the time comes, I will burn the mountain with fire from the bottom of the mountain, hum" Xue Rengui said and sneered twice, and Sanbao listened, but he shuddered, this group of unlucky people, when you meet my family, you can only say that you are unlucky, die early and take care of your life, and die early and take care of your life.
Fangcheng, the third bō siege Li Tang soldiers heard the sound of Mingjin, and immediately retreated like water, but under the city wall, it was already a mess, and on the solid wall of Fangcheng, there were hundreds of thick crossbow arrows, these crossbow arrows were deeply embedded in the city wall, but they were from top to bottom, and they could be used as ladders to climb.
The offensive of the three bō was very fierce, the fierce and fearless death of Li Tang's soldiers, as well as the fierce combat effectiveness, made the defenders in the city feel unprecedented pressure, and they were killed by Li Tang's foot soldiers on the city several times, and the most dangerous one was entrenched in the city for a quarter of an hour, and finally called the beast horse jīng Rui to recapture that section of the city.
As the sun sets, Li Tang's army Mingjin retreated, up and down the city, but it was a gloomy cloud, originally as the defending side, the defenders occupied a great advantage, but because there were more recruits, several times the soldiers collapsed, resulting in the loss of the city wall, which aggravated the losses, it can be said that the defense of this day can be described as a heavy loss.
"It's only the first day, even the jīng rui at the bottom of the box has been pulled up, and the defense is completely out of order, it is completely where the leakage is blocked, and as the main general in the city, he doesn't even do such a thing as improving morale and encouraging the morale of the army, according to my opinion, there is no need for Li Tang to use siege equipment, as long as such an offensive is maintained, within three days, Fangcheng will be broken"
Chang Yu's temperament is to go straight, but he is not euphemistic at all, and Xu Da is also blowing the cold wind that hits at night, looking at the starry Li Tang camp in the distance, and said: "Since he can't do it, then we can only do it, and then you go to the Wuying Lieutenant and tell him that if you want to change guards with him, he will definitely be happy, from tomorrow, I will be responsible for the left side of the city tower, and you will be responsible for the right side of the city tower."
"Why don't you go directly to that Chen Zhou and say?"
Xu Da shook his head and said: "I also want to have a showdown with him directly, but do you think the other party will listen to us, don't forget, the two of us are people from the young master's side, and the other party is Ping Nanhou's henchman, and we have always been prejudiced against the two of us, let's go tell him something, don't let him command blindly, you think he will listen to what the two of us say, it's not good, this guy will not thank us, but will be jealous."
"But it's also taboo to do this."
"As long as he can defend the city defense, he won't be okay," Xu Da said.
"I hope so" Chang Yulu snorted, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go and discuss with that old Wu"
Chang Yu Ūn disappeared from the city, but Xu Da sighed lightly, obviously he didn't have much confidence for whether Fang Cheng could defend it, but for the sake of the young master's plan, he could only do his best.
The early morning sun once again sprinkled the earth, and thousands of rays of light were colored in the forest, revealing a refreshing and refreshing breath.
"It's all up" Xue Rengui woke up his sleeping subordinates one by one, and when everyone woke up, Xue Rengui said: "Sanbao, Jiuzhi and Zhang Sheng, the three of you follow me, let's set off first, rush to the south entrance of Dayan Mountain, Liu Qing, you follow behind the opponent's buttocks, wait for the enemy to enter the road, then cut down trees to block the entrance, remember to block it strongly, about half an hour later, you will set fire to the mountain, under the mountain"
"It's February now, the north wind is blowing, as soon as you set fire here, the fire will soon burn very big, but you can't take it lightly, you should also stock up on some firewood at the mountain crossing, once the other party wants to escape from the north exit, you will set fire to block the road, and strive to catch it all."
"If it's all right, let's get started"
