Before he had time to explain, Duan Xipeng waved his hand and roared: "Rush over, don't stop!"
"Shao Qinu, Mijiati, lead your team to clear the way!"
"Hu Er was stunned, Lao Degui, you separated the left and right wings to protect the carriage from passing by!"
"Yang Jinyong, Xu Sanbiao, you lead the team and cut off the rear!"
After a series of orders were issued, everyone immediately dispersed with cheers, and the carriage began to speed up.
Fortunately, Shenghui Town has always been a place with intensive business traffic, and the post roads are very well built. Although the carriages are faster, they can still withstand such bumps, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust, and rushing past under the scorching sun.
The rebel army obviously did not expect such a huge team to suddenly rush out from the streets of Shenghui Town, and they were caught off guard.
In their expectation, the inspection department only has thirty or fifty people, and the customs customs office has only ten or twenty people who can stand up to the sky. With an armed force of fifty or sixty people, their own side is ten times that of the other side, and they can easily surround them. Methodically eat the fat piece of Shenghui Town in your mouth.
More than ten cavalrymen took the lead in speeding up the charge. Just as they had time to cross the center of the street, dozens of rebel soldiers appeared at the intersection ahead.
Duan Xipeng's side came well prepared, but the rebel army was unprepared. They arrogantly wanted to control Shenghui Town in one fell swoop. The formation was immediately thrown into chaos by the sudden protrusion of the group of cavalry.
Slashing knives were flying, iron spears were crisscrossing, like chopping melons and vegetables, screams were repeated, flesh and blood fell to the ground, more than a dozen cavalry and the following infantry were boiling with water and snow. In less than a cup of tea, this whole group was cut off. The rebel army of fifty or sixty people was killed, and only a few people escaped.
"Don't stop, hurry up and go west! Take the post road to Siyancheng! Mijiati, you first go to Siyancheng to ask for help and report, saying that you are a relative of the governor, and ask him to rescue you!"
The horse team mixed with the carriages rolled forward. Duan Xipeng knew that something would happen if he stopped. He knew that the condition of the carriages was already bad, but he couldn't care anymore. Shenghui Town was only seven or eight miles away from Siyan City. He gritted his teeth. He rushed over.
After rushing out of Shenghui Town, you can already vaguely see the salt pond.
Many houses and sheds were built around the salt pond, which were the residences of the salt workers. However, at this time, only the salt workers were seen running away. It was obvious that the arrival of the rebels had made the whole situation out of control.
The horses whipped up, and the group of people roared past. The panicked salt workers and officials seemed to understand the danger of the situation, and they all wanted to follow this group of people to seek shelter.
It's just that now Duan Xipeng still has the energy to care about others. He is lucky to escape the siege of the rebel army. He keeps his head down and runs all the way towards Si Yancheng.
In the surrounding areas not far away, various flags of the rebels continued to appear. It was obvious that the movements in Shenghui Town attracted their attention and began to gather here.
Looking at the knights below the city who were shouting at the top of their lungs, Mangui's face was full of anger.
This guy is so arrogant that he actually wants to send troops to rescue people. Although Shenghui Town is only a few miles away from here, what time is it now? The surrounding rebels are constantly appearing. Maybe they will be at the city in the next moment. And what exactly is the rebel army now?
No one can tell how many there are, but it is initially estimated to be more than 20,000. Under such circumstances, if we really send one out to respond, it may be difficult to come back.
"General, we have rushed out of Shenghui Town and are heading this way. It is only two or three miles away at most. You can send a team of people to meet us now. It won't take you much time. If we form a good relationship, my master will definitely remember you.
A lifetime of love..."
"You must have heard of Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan's name. The Feng family of Datong is the only son of Governor Feng of the Trilateral Governor and Governor of Jiliao. He is currently the governor of Shaanxi. The children behind are his treasured family..."
It has to be said that Duan Xipeng also chose someone to ask for help. If it had been someone else, his eloquence would probably be much worse, and he might not be able to move people's hearts.
"Feng family in Datong?" Man Gui was moved.
Of course he knew about the Feng family in Datong. Governor Feng was now leading the northwest army to fight in Shandong. He also knew about this young Feng Xiuzhuan who was governor of Shaanxi, but he was limited to knowledge.
How could he, a guard guarding Yancheng in Shanxi Province,
How much does he care about the affairs of Shaanxi? If the Shaanxi rebel army had not entered Jin and caused such a big disturbance, he would not have known that Feng Tang's son actually went to Shaanxi to become the governor.
"Sir, I beg you, just be honest with me. If we are useful in the future, you will never frown. Besides, we have one or two hundred people. Your Yancheng will definitely be besieged by the rebel army.
We are all veterans of Datong who have experienced many battles, and we can help you to some extent..."
I have to say that this guy in the city was quite eloquent, and he immediately touched Man Gui's heart. After a moment's hesitation, he ordered his cavalry to leave the city quickly.
In fact, he had been prepared for a long time. Once the rebels came to besiege the city, he wanted to use the cavalry to catch the opponent off guard while the opponent was not on a firm footing, but he did not expect that it would be used to save people.
Duan Xipeng also had to admit that Si Yancheng's cavalry arrived at just the right time. Just as the rebel troops outflanking from both sides had time to bite his rearguard, they were suddenly attacked by the cavalry in the middle, and they were immediately defeated. Taking advantage of the chaos,
When the army was in disarray, the group of people worked together to rush westward and rushed into Siyan City in one breath. When the gate closed, Duan Xipeng got off his horse and sat limply on the ground, gasping for air.
"Is this such a bear?" Although Man Gui was young, he had fought in the Lao Niu camp. Seeing Duan Xipeng in such a mess, he looked disdainful and said, "Why do you think the governor's personal soldiers are running away for their lives?"
Although the voice was low, Duan Xipeng couldn't hear it clearly, but he could tell a rough idea from the other party's facial expressions, "Boy, don't think that you can ride on our heads just because you saved us. If I hadn't protected this group of women, I would have been dead long ago."
I just rushed out and killed three times, a bunch of weak chickens who were just serving food!"
Unexpectedly, the other party was rescued by his own group and was still so violent. It made Man Guigao look at him a bit, but on the surface he would not show weakness: "Hey, it's so powerful, okay, now the people you protect have entered the city.
Can you free up your hands? If you are so awesome, then take your brothers out and have some fun. Don’t you look down on the rebel army? Then go give it a try and see if you can fight one against a hundred.
A heroic man, can one sword be used as a million soldiers..."
Unexpectedly, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him came to rush him, but his mouth was so fierce. Duan Xipeng naturally would not be so aroused by the other party's words that he would risk his life regardless of it. He sat up straight and said calmly.
: "Ignoring the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves and going all out to fight is what a fool would do. How could I do such a stupid thing? If the right time comes, no one needs to remind me, I will naturally go to fight. If you don't believe it, you might as well do it.
Defend the city and you will be able to see it."
"That's great, I really want to see it." Man Gui didn't care, "But you said before that you were the personal soldiers of Lord Feng, the governor of Shaanxi? Why didn't you cross the river with Lord Feng, and now you are slowly crossing the river?"
When we come to Pingyang Mansion, I remember that Mr. Feng has already arrived in Shaanxi, right?"
"We are one step behind. Who would have thought that if we fall behind one step behind, we will fall behind step by step. We are constantly encountering various difficulties, especially the trajectory of the activities of these rebels. We cannot grasp them. We are women here, so we would not dare to take risks. If this were not the case,
We have arrived in Xi'an a long time ago." Seeing that there was not much provocation in the other party's tone, Duan Xipeng also calmed down and said, "However, Mr. Mandarin, you only have less than one battalion of troops. The walls of Siyan City are low, so originally
It's not a fortified city, it's just a city built to collect warehouse salt and collect salt. It didn't even consider that it would be besieged by rebels. The city defense system is weak and there is no preparation at all. I don't know the combat power of your two thousand people, but this
If you dare to send one of the troops out of the city to rescue us later, it doesn't look too bad, but if you have to face a rebel army that is several times or even ten times your size, are you sure you can hold the city?"
When asked about the key point, Man Gui was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I'm not sure. If there are three to five thousand rebel troops, I won't take it seriously. If there are ten thousand rebel troops, I'm half sure to hold on to more than one."
Ten thousand, or even twenty thousand, then you can only hope for good luck. The only thing you can do is hope that the reinforcements from Puzhou Institute can come, but I think it is unlikely. Their side is more dangerous, and the rebel army will not let go.
After passing Puzhou, who told him there would be food?"
"You can see clearly, but sitting there waiting for death is not an option, right?" Duan Xipeng could no longer sit still, "Can you invite soldiers from Pingyang Guard? There are also soldiers from Hongnong Guard across the Yellow River, and Tongguan Guard over there in Shaanxi
soldiers, I have already sent people to ask for reinforcements before entering the city, I guess
We should be able to invite them, but I’m afraid they won’t have enough time. Even if they set off after receiving the news, they won’t be able to come here in seven or eight days.”
The distance from Tongguan to Siyancheng is about 230 to 40 miles. Even if the Tongguan Guards are not weak in combat effectiveness, they can only cover 50 to 60 miles in a day with such a continuous march, especially on such a hot day.
To cross Puzhou and reconcile the state, plus the time it took to report the news, seven or eight days is a relatively conservative calculation. The question is, can Siyancheng be defended for seven or eight days?
"I have never counted on the soldiers of the Pingyang Guard, let alone the Hongnong Guard." Mangui sneered, "With that kind of skill, I might as well think more about city defense."
"It seems that you have an idea?" Duan Xipeng could see that the other party had the aura of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but he also felt that although this boy was young, he should have fought hard battles.
It's impossible to get into the position of President Qian at such a young age.
"Well, you also have cavalry No. 70 or 80. I can see that their riding skills are not bad. They are all veterans. I also have two sentinel cavalry. Plus your cavalry, there are about 200 people. The rebel cavalry rarely maneuvers.
We have poor abilities. If we want to prevent the rebel army from trapping us to death, then these two hundred cavalry must play a big role." Man Gui looked at Duan Xipeng, "Are you willing to do it?"
"Haha, if we can contain the rebels and siege the city as you said, why don't you give up? It's better than staying in this city and being trapped to death?" Duan Xipeng laughed, "But now there may be rebels everywhere outside Siyan City.
, once the two hundred cavalry are surrounded, I’m afraid it will be difficult to survive.”
