The side in Chang Yu's mouth naturally refers to the location of the troops of Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo in the north of Anqing City. Yesterday, after a bloody battle from day to night, they finally repelled the bandits and crossed over to the ditch. Then Gao Jie sent
Three hundred cavalrymen were the vanguard. They pursued the rebels five miles away but found no sign of them. Because it was dark, Lusheng did not dare to go any further, so he repaired in place.
Early the next morning, the troops were counted and their morale gradually recovered after a night of repairs. The three of them knew that Li Yan's troops were close at hand, so they were ordered to advance by Li Yan's plunder, and vowed to advance to the gates of Anqing City at noon.
Because Liu Zeqing's troops were too seriously injured, he made adjustments with Liu Liangzuo's troops to take charge of the rear. Gao Jie personally led 500 people to ride at the front.
Unexpectedly, at half noon, when we were about to walk out of this narrow river and lake road, we didn't encounter any more rebels. The scouts from the front came to report. After walking three miles, we exited the river embankment. Beyond that, there was a wilderness with woods.
There are swamps where it is easy to hide troops and set up ambushes, but based on the traces on the ground, it can be inferred that there should be no large groups of soldiers and horses in the surrounding area for more than ten miles.
Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo did not dare to carelessly order their troops to repair on the spot, so they sent people to the rear to inquire. Not long after, Liu Zeqing reported that they had not seen any movement of the rebels, but Li Yan's troops were only ten miles away!
"Damn, he walked pretty fast!" Gao Jie cursed and discussed with Liu Liangzuo. He felt that since Li Yan's vanguard was about to arrive, there was no need for Liu Zeqing to stay behind, and reinforcements should be sent over to kill Anqing together. As for the people over there,
Whether the bandit army will surround Li Yan's troops or not is their business. It's up to them.
The two men's ideas hit it off with Liu Zeqing's. Half an hour later, Liu Zeqing's troops came to join Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo: "We have to leave quickly. Li Yan's people have reached the intersection over there and are only twenty miles away from us by the river embankment.
It will only take a while to catch up with us."
"Do you know who is leading the army?" Liu Liangzuo asked.
"I left in a hurry and didn't show up to them. It doesn't matter who came. Even if I'm here today, I won't even try to take away our credit!" Liu Zeqing spat, and Gao Jie also cursed: "Fuck me.
It took us so much effort to fight back, but it was an advantage for them, and we caught up easily and without any hindrance!"
"Okay, stop complaining and quickly send troops to advance. As long as we get to Anqing City ahead of them, we won't be able to escape this victory!" Liu Zeqing urged, and then several people joined forces to advance. After a while, they walked out of the river embankment, and the front suddenly became clear.
The place you see is lush and green, with the Yangtze River swamps to the east and wilderness to the west with an unknown river leading to Shitang Lake and heading directly to Anqing due south.
"There are still thirty miles to Anqing. Since we have all been killed here, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood ahead of us. The three of us have to walk through it. Don't get lost!" Gao Jie licked his lips and looked at the sky.
Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo nodded silently with firm eyes, which was definitely rare in previous years!
The historical trajectory of Chang Yu has changed since he time traveled, and even the personalities of some characters have changed subtly due to his influence. For example, if Gao Jie and the other three were picky in previous battles, they would never fight if they could escape from a tough battle.
, have they ever been as tough as they are now? Maybe even they themselves didn’t notice this change, and even if they did, they would find it incredible!
Whether it is for fame or wealth, today they dare to fight hard and never give up!
This may be Chang Yu's super commanding ability. He can inspire everyone's fighting spirit and bloody spirit, and he can also do what he wants to make everyone rush to fight to get what they need. At the same time, he can also allow them to work as a team.
Combat can turn them into competitors!
To put it bluntly, you can tell stories and draw cakes!
The three of them worked together to cut through the gold, and thousands of cavalry galloped southward along the river bank. If they were attacked by the enemy at this time, they would rush over without hesitation. However, scouts from the front came one after another to report that there was no sign of the enemy.
"Could it be that the thieves have retreated into the city?" The three of them were very confused. Liu Zeqing frowned and looked disbelieving. Not to mention that he didn't believe it. Gao Jie and Huama Liu were also a little surprised. They retreated like this. So what was the point of sending troops to stop them before?
Consume us!
After all, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a while and then they reacted after thinking for a while!
Using the terrain to engage in stalemate battles with officers and soldiers is intended to consume their troops, defeat them and damage their morale, and then return to the city to defend them much easier.
"Thieves in the world are all dark. This is a common tactic of thieves." Liu Liangzuo snorted, and Gao Jie suddenly became happy: "If he retreats into the city, then we can push forward to the city without any effort. This
The first effort failed."
Hey, Liu Zeqing and Liu Yizheng, the flower horse, laughed loudly: "No!" and ordered their troops to move quickly.
However, the three of them were still too optimistic. After traveling more than ten miles, the scouts from the front reported urgently: Thousands of thieves were arrayed at Linghu outside the city!
The three of them were surprised. They thought they had to fight again before they entered the city together with the bandits. They asked the scouts about the terrain over there. The scouts dismounted and scratched on the ground. Gao Jie and the others couldn't help but frowned again.
Anqing's reputation as being easy to defend and difficult to attack is not for nothing. It is surrounded by mountains, rivers, and dangerous terrain. You can easily find a perfect place to defend yourself from enemies, and Cheng Niandong took advantage of it to the extreme.
The Yangtze River runs east-west in Anqing. Anqing City is close to the north bank of the Yangtze River. There is a lake called Linghu Lake in the north of the city. The lake is so big that it blocks the north and northeast corners of Anqing City. If Gao Jie and others want to get close to the city, they have to go from the east.
To pass between the Yangtze River and Linghu Lake, you can either make a large circle and go from the west, but you have to cross the river. Linghu Lake leads to a large river in Shitang Lake.
"The land between Linghu Lake and the Yangtze River is about two miles wide..." Before the scout finished speaking, Gao Jie slapped his thigh: "Two miles of land is wide enough. The thieves can't dig a ditch."
"General, the thieves don't need to dig trenches, because there is a river connecting Linghu Lake to the Yangtze River..." the scout said quickly, and Gao Jie jumped up: "Damn it, why is it so difficult!"
Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo also stamped their feet and shouted curses. They were about to touch the city wall, but the rebel army came again and blocked the river!
"How wide is the river?" Liu Zeqing asked after he had calmed down after cursing a few times. The scout quickly said: "It's not more than three feet wide, but it has rained a lot recently and the water is deep. There should have been a bridge on the river but it may have been demolished by thieves.
Got it!"
"If there is no bridge, we will build a bridge. If the water is deep, we will use a ferry. I don't believe in evil." Gao Jie shouted loudly and was about to order the fishing boats to be requisitioned when he encountered villages along the way. Unexpectedly, the scout said again: "The villages ahead are all empty, and the people are being invaded by the bandits."
The package was gone, but not a single fishing boat was seen."
Obviously, the bandit army was well prepared and had already robbed the people and the boat!
"I, I, I will fly over even if I fly!" Gao Jie started to talk nonsense in a hurry and anger. Liu Liangzuo patted him on the shoulder: "General Gao, fly, we can't fly over without wings."
, but we may not be able to survive without flying. We have come this far, and we still need such a last-minute step? How can our thousands of troops be blocked by a small river!"
"Damn it, it's not like I don't understand this. Normally I wouldn't be in a hurry, but damn Li Yan is always behind us to take advantage of us!"
"He's coming. We just won't let him go. I don't believe they insist on going." Liu Zeqing looked back and snorted coldly: "It's time to cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts. Let's pack up our troops and let's start!"
