Chapter 459 Battle of the Business Bridge II
After leaving the hall, Chen Sihai, Long Ying and Lin Zhenyuan walked together. Chen Sihai couldn't help but say, "Is Wushu's army really in Linying? If this is true, it's not far from Yancheng!"
Lin Zhenyuan said: "I have seen Yu Guhan's ability before. Besides, Marshal Yue has no doubts. What do we want to do? Just do our own thing well!"
"If this is true, then this Yu Guhan is a little incredible!" Long Ying said.
Lin Zhenyuan smiled indifferently and said, "Ruoyu Guhan has no ability, why did the marshal ask him to be a military advisor as soon as he met?"
When Long Ying and Chen Sihai heard this, they all nodded. The three of them walked and said, no longer having their previous suspicions.
Yue Fei and Yu Guhan were sure that the Jin soldiers were in Linying. When the soldiers were patrolling, they placed their direction in Linying. When they were patrolling, they also went further towards Linying.
It was Yang Zaixing's turn to patrol today. He led 300 elite soldiers from Yancheng. He had walked through and observed almost every inch of land and confirmed that nothing was wrong. Then he continued to move forward. In the evening, he arrived near Xiaoshang Bridge.
This stone bridge spanning the Xiaoshang River was built in the fourth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. Yang Zaixing ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot and looked towards the direction of the Xiaoshang Bridge. At that moment, a soldier said, "General, have we gone a little far this time?"
Yang Zaixing said: "Go farther and safer. You guys all want to be lazy!"
When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but smile. After half of the incense stick, one of the generals stood up and said, "General, let's go. It's already dark. When you return to Yancheng, you can't even catch up with supper!"
Yang Zaixing smiled and said, "Since we can't catch up with dinner, let's do it ourselves. Go to hunt three people, and two of them pick up firewood. Let's get a meal of wild game here tonight!"
Many of the soldiers were able to cook food when they heard Yang Zaixing's words. After a while, they had already taken action. They beat more than a dozen pheasants, a few roe deer and a wild boar. Such a rich dinner must not be available in Yancheng. The soldiers were extremely happy and were busy with the things. In a short while, a barbecue meal would be ready.
After dinner, Yue'er had slowly climbed up from the east mountain, and half of her face had been revealed. Yang Zaixing was still looking at Xiaoshang Bridge not far away. One of the generals said: "General, you actually want to go to Xiaoshang Bridge and go to Linying to see it?"
Yang Zaixing said: "The Marshal said that Wushu's garrison was in Linying. I believe that since he knew their whereabouts and did nothing, he always felt a little unwilling to accept it!"
"If the marshal wants to lead the army, he naturally cannot make a decision easily. Let's listen to the marshal's right!" said the soldier.
Yang Zaixing nodded: "This is a good thing. After the soldiers finish eating, let's set off to go back to Yancheng!"
The soldiers nodded. When the group was eating happily, they suddenly heard a sound. Yang Zaixing and many soldiers looked towards the direction of Xiao Shang Bridge, and one of them shouted: "There is someone opposite the bridge!"
Yang Zaixing's thoughts flipped quickly and shouted: "Extinguish the fire, destroy everything here, and hide it!"
The soldiers were familiar with everything and hid in the forest behind. Soon, they saw a group of people walking up Shangqiao. Although it was at night, the soldiers still saw clearly that these people were not others, but Jin soldiers.
Yang Zaixing's expression slightly condensed. He ordered three soldiers to go back to report to Yue Fei, but he planned to take his three hundred soldiers to block the Jin soldiers.
"General, they have more than 2,000 people, almost ten times more than ours!" A general whispered.
Yang Zaixing said: "The Jin soldiers were acting at this time, and it was obviously suspected of sneak attacking Yancheng. There were not many soldiers in Yancheng at present. Under the assault, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Wang Gui and others could not rescue quickly. In this way, Yancheng would be in danger. No matter what method we think of tonight, we will stop these Jin soldiers and dogs!"
When the other generals heard this, they nodded and arranged their own arrangements. The Jin soldiers acted quickly and soon arrived in the forest. Yang Zaixing knew that it was Li Cheng, and he was even more sure of his guess. He waved his hand and the archer ambushing the darkness pulled the bow and the sound of breaking through the air was spread. The Jin soldiers walking in front of him were instantly among twenty or thirty people.
Seeing this, Li Cheng shouted: "Shield!"
At this time, a Jin soldiers stood in front carrying a shield, blocking Yang Zaixing's archer's arrow. A round of shooting was not very useful. At this time, Li Cheng ordered his soldiers to move a few giant crossbows up, and the arrow shot out, like a poisonous snake. In an instant, the soldiers who were ambushing in the forest screamed repeatedly.
"Thief!" Yang Zaixing was frightened to see, and swung the arrow away. A flip flopped out of the forest. The spear swept across the shield and spread out on the clang. The Jin soldiers standing with the shield were instantly shocked. Yang Zaixing's soldiers rushed out at this time and fought with more than 2,000 soldiers led by Li Cheng.
This time, he led his troops to attack Yancheng, Li Cheng was the head coach, Han Chang was the deputy, and there was a reinforcement army behind him. Yang Zaixing and his group rushed into the Jin army, but were instantly besieged.
But none of Yang Zaixing and his soldiers were afraid, and they all fought to the death. The Jin soldiers in history were far more than the Yue family army.
The war was very fierce, and Han Chang and Li Chengjun were trembling. These three hundred Yue family troops were really too fierce.
In the Yancheng General's Mansion, Yu Guhan and Yue Fei sat in the hall commanding the battle. Yue Fei couldn't help but ask: "How do you guess Wu Shu will send troops next?"
Yu Guhan said, "At present, the army of Zhang Xian and Niu Gao has moved towards Yingchang. Wang Guiwang's army is not far from us. If we attack, Yingchang is still the first choice. After all, he mobilized 130,000 troops this time. But if the light cavalry attacked our Yancheng at night, then Wang Tongzheng and others would probably not be able to rescue them at that time!"
"But our soldiers in the city can definitely stabilize the battlefield and wait until reinforcements arrive!" Yue Fei's eyes were full of confidence.
Yu Guhan nodded. Although the Yue family army stationed in Yancheng is less than 3,000, they are all elite Beiwei Army and You Yi Army of the Yue family army, as well as martial arts heroes in the Jianghu Camp, they don’t have to worry about anything at the moment.
Just now, Yue Yun hurried in and said, "Yang Zaixing patrolled the Shangqiao area and encountered the Jin soldiers who were planning to attack Yancheng. They were fighting to the death!"
When Yu Guhan heard this, his expression changed and shouted: "Oh no, Yang Zaixing has always been brave. He had the idea of breaking into the Jin soldiers and capturing Wu Shu alive. When he encountered the Jin soldiers who were attacking him, he would definitely plan to eat them. Since Wu Shu was planning to attack Yancheng, the troops must be strong. I will immediately order the troops and horses, and we will go to rescue quickly!"
Yue Fei also knew the situation and said, "Okay, it's not too late. You two will lead 500 troops to support you. In addition, I will issue an order to order Wang Gui's army to come to Yancheng!"
Yu Guhan nodded, and he and Yue Yun came out, ordered their troops and headed straight for Xiao Shang Bridge.
