Chapter 609 General I think it seems that we don't need to do it
Chapter 609
"General, general, there is enemy sentiment!" Accompanied by a hoarse roar and the constant ringing of the alarm bell.
Liangping, the Wen Ancient City guard who was responsible for guarding Jishui Bridge, cursed, threw down his bowls and chopsticks, rushed out of the only decent big house in Wen Ancient City, and quickly climbed to the top of the city.
Through the afterglow of the sunset, Lianghei saw an army on the eastern horizon, slowly approaching here.
"Suppressing the Fu Army?!" Liangping widened his eyes hard and tried hard to identify the flag of this army that was still several miles away from Wen Ancient City.
"General, it is the Zhenfu Army." Panting, Tanma rushed back from outside the city and reported to Liangping.
"There must be at least 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and the flag is Li Ziqi."
"Suppressing the Fu Army, Li Ziqi?" Liangping's eyes bulged. Damn it! Suppressing the Fu Army, isn't it the Jingnan Army?
Li Ziqi... Near Dongdu, the only person who can fly the Li Ziqi, besides our Duke of Wei, is Li Jing, the commander of the Fu Army.
Li Jing, Mr. Li, are you okay with this? If you don't just stay on the south bank of the Yellow River, why are you here?
"What kind of bastard made Li Jing come to the north bank..." Liangping muttered in a low voice.
"General, what should we do?" A brigade commander next to him wiped away cold sweat and looked at the slowly advancing Suppression Army on the horizon. At this moment, his legs were already a little weak.
Lianghei hurriedly put on his helmet, looked around a few times, and landed on the floating bridge not far from Wen Ancient City.
My duty is to guard the pontoon and prevent accidents from happening. Nowadays, it is a particularly desperate accident.
"What should we do? What can we do? Evacuate! Tell the brothers to evacuate this small broken city immediately and run to the pontoon."
"And you, ask the brothers to bring fire starters when they leave. We can't let the Suppressing Army get on the bridge, hurry up!"
When the front army of Zhenfu Army was still two miles away from Wen Ancient City, the last defender had already run out of Wen Ancient City.
When he saw the soldiers and horses in Wagang Village, he didn't even have the intention to defend himself and just ran away. Li Jing didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, this ancient city of Wen is just a small city with a wall height of less than one foot and a radius of only a few miles.
Li Jing led his army here to capture the ancient city of Wen, and then destroy the pontoon bridge to cut off the road from Wagang Village for possible reinforcements.
"General, I feel that there is no need for us to take action..."
When he saw the pontoon bridge not far from Wen Ancient City, which started to burst into flames, the general next to Li Jing said with a lonely expression.
Li Jing laughed and shook his head helplessly. "It seems that General Wen Gucheng has misunderstood. I really have no intention of crossing the river to attack the enemy."
"..."

After being doused with kerosene, the fire became more violent, and the burning pontoon became brighter and more eye-catching in the dusk.
Liangping stood in the distance, looking at the blazing flames in front of him and the officers and soldiers of the Suppression Army who were gradually approaching, and he couldn't help but reveal a proud smile of relief.
He crossed his arms and laughed heartily.
The brigade commander on the side wiped the sweat from his face and flattered General Ryohei wildly.
"The general is indeed wise and evacuated the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, if these thieves of the Suppressing Army were allowed to seize the pontoon bridge, our troops on the north bank of Wagang Village would be in danger."
"That's natural. We escaped unscathed and notified Heyang in time. This is a great achievement." Liangping nodded with deep approval.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back. The fire was getting stronger and stronger, and it felt like his beard was almost scorched.
At this moment, Lianghei noticed that the Zhenfu army on the river bank had no intention of staying. Instead, they turned around and started heading north along the bank, leaving only a few hundred soldiers here.
"No, send someone north quickly to send a message and tell General Wang in Jicheng to burn the pontoon bridge quickly. If Li Jing wants to steal the retreat of our Wagangzhai army, go quickly."
Li Jing continued to march at night with his troops, but he did not expect that when he led his troops to the north bank of Jicheng, he saw that this place was also blazing with fire and flames billowing into the sky.
"...Why do I think the other party is our undercover agent?" Li Jing stroked his long beard and smacked his mouth for a long time, then he said with a bit of laughter and laughter.
Pei Xingyan beside him also nodded with deep understanding, his expression looked very serious.
"It's possible, maybe it's the master's back-up plan at Wagang Village."
"Well, since the pontoon bridge is destroyed, it is convenient for our army to send an order to the whole army to continue heading north and try to reach Kongshan before noon tomorrow."
"promise!"

In the Hanoi raid, Liu Wuzhou led two thousand elites to attack Wen County, while Shan Xiongzhong destroyed Anchang City.
Xie Denying broke into Hanoi City and seized the city defense, while Wang Junkuo led his troops to raid the camp outside Wagangzhai City that had been set on fire and broke it.
Lai Zhengze personally led thousands of tiger warriors and marched north along the canal with Shan Xiongxin. After capturing Xinxiang, they rushed to clear the customs.
The unprepared Linqing Pass guard abandoned the pass and fled, and the key pass between Hanoi County and Ji County fell into the hands of the Zhenfu Army.
Laizheng returned to the north again and defeated Gongshan County. After Shan Xiongzhong and Liu Wuzhou defeated Wen County and Anchang City, they joined forces and rushed towards Xiuwu County and Huojia County.
The armies of the Zhenfu Army formed a siege on these two counties...
All the pontoon bridges on the Jishui River were destroyed. Li Jing led his army and marched quickly. After one night, they arrived at Kongshan and set up camp in a dangerous place.
Wang Bo, who was stationed in Jiyuan City, was shocked and did not dare to neglect. While gathering his troops and horses, he entered the city to defend the city and ordered people to send a message to Heyangcang City.
However, in one day and one night, the news that Li Jing led his army to raid Hanoi County spread back to the south bank of the Yellow River.
Wang Bodang was also horrified, and immediately ordered people to send a message to Mianchi to inform Li Mi. He dispatched troops and generals to return to the north bank of the Yellow River to aid, and ordered people to go north by boat to warn Jijun and Weijun.
When Li Mi, who was confronting Qu Tutong in the Mianchi area, received the news, it was already two days after most of Hanoi County fell.
Li Mi's face was ashen and frightened, and all the generals under his command were silent and looked at each other in confusion.
No one expected that Li Jing would suddenly attack at this time and raise troops to raid Hanoi County.
You must know that the main force of the Wagangzhai army is now mainly concentrated on the south bank of the Yellow River. There are not many defenders in Hanoi County.
Only in Heyang Cangcheng, 20,000 soldiers and horses were stationed. This was to protect the docks on the north bank of the Yellow River and ensure the smooth flow of river transportation on both sides of the river.
After a long time, Li Mi let out a breath of turbid air and his face gradually returned to normal. "Then Li Jing sent his troops north. Gu had already predicted this before sending troops to Mianchi."
"Therefore, I have secretly ordered before that if Li Jing appears in Hanoi County, all he needs to do is burn down the bridges in Jishui to stop the enemy."
"I think at this time, Wu'an County, Wei County, Jijun and Wuyang County have also received the warning. As long as the armies of the four counties join forces and come south, the Fu army that ventured to land on the north bank of the Yellow River will be killed."
