Chapter 120 Action
"Yuan Zongdi?"
Yu Wan recited this name silently. Although he had good historical achievements, he had no impression of this name.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning explained, "This man is brave and good at fighting. He is the main general under Li Zicheng. He once whipped the flag-holding officers around Cao Wenzhao among the thousands of troops. His courage is comparable to Guan Gong's beheading Yan Liang. General Yu should not be despised."
“That’s right.”
Yu Wan narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly, "No matter whether he is Guan Gong or Yan Liang, our brothers are not vegetarians. As long as everyone follows the plan, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!"
After everyone discussed some details in a low voice, they dispersed and did their own things according to Yu Wan's plan.
Dawn is coming soon and the fierce battle is about to begin.
Huangjiawan is about ten miles north of Jiangxia, surrounded by forests on three sides by the lake. There are several villages by the lake. As the war is imminent, the villagers have been evacuated back to the city by Yu Wan.
Before the moon could sink, the sun had already revealed half of its face, and the soft morning light fell in the forest, making it particularly peaceful and quiet.
The Jiangying Official Road is the main road connecting Jiangxia and Yingshan. It crosses Huangjiawan Village. The road is two or three meters wide and can accommodate five or six horses walking side by side.
On the south side of the road, hundreds of ragged people were running desperately without looking back.
Leading the lead is a young couple. The man has a strong waist and a strong body, while the woman has a graceful hair that reaches her waist. Although her face is covered with mud, it is difficult to cover up her charming figure.
"Friends work harder. After this journey, you will reach Maotouling. As long as you hide in the mountains, we will be safe!"
The people were carrying their families and their families were loaded with luggage, and the wooden carts were filled with food and poultry.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the front, and the shocking force shook off the leaves on the roadside.
"What's the sound?"
Everyone stopped, looking at each other with bloodless faces.
Before they could come back to their senses, in a blink of an eye, thousands of troops roared over and surrounded them. The flag clearly stated the words "Shun" and "Yuan" and other words.
"It's the army of the King of Breaking!"
This army is extremely large in number, and it is impossible to see the end at first sight. All the officers and soldiers are holding big swords and swelling up into the sky.
The people have never seen such a posture. They were scared to stand up in a dilemma.
At this time, a yellow-faced man slapped forward, drew out the big knife with a murderous look on his face, and said, "Who are you? Where are you going?"
The burly man in the lead swallowed hard, and his tongue was somewhat knotted, "Dear soldiers, we...we are residents of Jiangxia City. We escaped because the official army burned, killed and robbed the city!"
I heard that it was a refugee in the city, and the yellow-faced man suddenly became interested. "What's the situation in the city? Tell me quickly!"
The burly man gasped and said, "When the dog Japanese army heard that after the soldiers of the Breaking King came, they first robbed the people's wealth, and then burned Jiang Xia clean with another big fire!"
The yellow-faced man was shocked and suddenly looked forward. He saw thick smoke rolling in Jiangxia City, "Jiangxia was actually burned?!"
Jiangxia turned into an empty city. The yellow-faced man frowned, but after a while, he kept looking at the burly man, "How did you escape?"
The burly man blinked and was thinking about how to answer, the beautiful woman beside him said first, "The North Gate Guardian is from the same town as us, and he escaped with his help!"
The yellow-faced man pondered for a moment, then turned his horse's head and leaned over to a tall man holding a bamboo-linked iron whip. This person was Li Zicheng's pioneer general Yuan Zongdi!
Soon, the yellow-faced man learned about the information he had just heard of Yuan Zongdi. Yuan Zongdi looked ahead with cold eyes, "Person General Tian, for fear of fraud, you should immediately take five hundred brothers to explore Jiangxia's situation, and report to me immediately after you figure it out!"
The yellow-faced man named Tian nodded his head and quickly lit up a group of people and ran south.
For Yuan Zongdi, the most valuable thing about Jiangxia is not its geographical location, but the food and grass stored there. He volunteered to be the vanguard, just for the food and grass in the city. Therefore, after learning that the Ming army was firmly in its walls and cleared the fields, the anger in his heart could be imagined.
Fortunately, the people in front of me were all carrying food, and Deputy General Tian didn't come back so soon when he spyed on the information. The soldiers were all hungry, so it would be better to take a break in this village first before making plans.
"Brothers, bury the pot and make rice!"
With the first order of Yuan Zong, the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves behind him rushed up like a tide, and soon snatched all the food of the people.
What surprised them was that not only rice, poultry, big cakes, dry food, but also dozens of jars of fragrant fine wine. Before Yuan Zongdi could stop it, they drank it completely.
While Shunjun was drinking happily, the people had already quietly hid in front of the house on the side of the road. The couple in charge looked at each other and nodded, "Action!"
