The water in the river is not as good as the river. Although the water flow is not as slow as the ice in the north, it is still enough for pedestrians to cross the river. Three battalions of soldiers and horses are crossing the river one after another. Chang Yu leads his personal guards to go ashore first and rest by the river. There are more than ten riders riding around in the distance.
He was scurrying back and forth, not daring to come near. Needless to say, he was a spy horse from the Jingzhou bandit army.
"We were spotted just after we crossed the river. We're bound to be in trouble." Chen Wangting looked up from afar, stroking his beard and nodding. Wang Zhengnan took aim with his bow on his horse, but the spies were a hundred steps away. Although he was also good at arrows
But the skills are not as good.
Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan stood under a bare tree by the river, looking at the spies in the distance and rubbing their chins vigorously: "If we brothers go and kill them..."
"Although it's not a great achievement, at least it can show our faces." Wu Mushan licked his lips. They followed Chang Yu on the other side of the Yellow River and made a lot of achievements. They felt pretty good about themselves. Who knew that today they were slaughtering Yuan?
Ji Jike and others suddenly felt that their abilities were insufficient. There were so many talented people under the great eunuch. If he didn't find a way to gain credit, he might not have a chance to get ahead.
"Do you think we two can do it?" Wang Fuchen touched his waist knife and looked at Wu Mushan with a look on his face that was ready to move. Wu Mushan frowned: "Just the two of us may be able to choke, but if there are more people, we can't show our ability."
He got on his horse and said: "I have always sought wealth and wealth in the face of danger, so go fuck yourself!"
"That's right." Wang Fuchen exclaimed, and just as he was about to mount his horse, Kuang Ren came from the side and stopped the two of them: "No one is allowed to act without permission. This is a military order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Um...my brothers want to explore the road!" Wang Fuchen quickly explained, Kuang Ren shook his head and chuckled: "Don't pretend that I don't know what you two are thinking. You can explore the road, but at least a group of ten people, don't
"Be a hero".
"Commander Kuang thinks that my two brothers can't take down those people?" Wang Fuchen's pride was aroused: "I'm not bragging, they really don't know enough about it. If you don't believe it, let me and my brothers try it."
"I believe it, but no, this is a military order!" Kuang Ren's face sank, and Wang Fuchen and Wang Fuchen lost their temper and had to dismount: "Commander Kuang, you also know that my brothers are in a situation right now. They are neither personal guards nor Dongchang."
Wei, we need to gain merit in battle!"
Kuang Ren smiled: "Do you think that capturing those spies is a military achievement?" He pointed to the soldiers and horses of the third battalion crossing the river: "Any two people there can kill those spies, and any one of the commanders of the three battalions can kill them."
"The people they killed fell on their backs," he said while wagging his finger: "This is a basic operation that everyone can do, and it doesn't count as much skill at all. The Governor keeps you two by his side, which means you have experience and training. In the future, you will
The purpose of reuse is not for you to...Hey, you can figure it out yourself."
When it got dark, the three battalions crossed the river. Ji Jike dispatched a hundred men to patrol inside and outside to drive away the traitors and spies who wanted to approach, while the remaining troops made fires and cooked food by the river.
This place is less than a hundred miles away from Jingzhou and is a flat river. Although there are several rivers, they are as frozen as walking on the ground. The army of thieves can surround them at any time. However, Chang Yu believes that there is no definite information, especially since Ma Jinzhong once tricked Jingzhou City.
The thieves inside will never come out easily.
Half an hour later, everyone lit torches and broke out of camp and ran straight towards Jingzhou. Upon seeing this, the rebel spies on the periphery hurriedly rode back to the city to report the military situation.
Ji Jike's five-hundred-horse horse was powerful enough to run the fastest, and at the same time it was capable of exploring the road and driving away the thieves who were following from afar. He stopped and walked all the way, and finally saw Jingzhou at dawn.
city.
Naturally, it was because of the bright lights on the city. It seemed that the city had received news that thousands of cavalry were coming to kill overnight, which aroused the vigilance of the thieves. But it is conceivable that Niu Wancai and Ta Tianbao must be confused.
The officers and soldiers sent more than a thousand cavalry and had no equipment to attack the city. What they wanted to do must be a conspiracy.
When the sky was slightly bright, the rain was getting heavier, and the soldiers were cold and tired. Chang Yu knew that if the bandits in the city came out in large numbers to surround them at this time, it would be a hard battle before they could break out.
But how to ensure that the thieves in the city will not come out?
The method was very simple. Chang Yu ordered more than a thousand cavalry to go straight to Jingzhou City. Everyone was puzzled but still obeyed the order. Qingyi even asked Sujing in a low voice: "Master Sujing, are we going to attack Jingzhou City?"
"Maybe." Su Jing's face was very solemn, Qing Yi frowned: "How to beat such a small number of people, isn't it..."
"He has more clever ideas than that awesome guy. He does whatever he says." A smile appeared on Su Jing's lips: "I've never seen him suffer any big losses anyway."
Wang Zhengnan happened to hear the two of them talking, so he whispered: "We are not attacking the city, we are going to call a formation. This is called posturing. To put it bluntly, it is just making up mysteries to make the thieves confused and afraid to leave the city."
Yes, this is Chang Yu's dirty trick. More than a thousand cavalry went straight to Jingzhou City and shouted at the city: "I, Zuo Shuai's subordinate Wang Yuncheng, do you dare to come down and fight with these stupid cattle thieves..."
"Ta Tianbao, if you have the guts, come down. I'll be your grandpa with a hundred thousand dollars..."
Anyway, all kinds of obscene words were flying all over the place. The soldiers of the third battalion were also angry because they were cold and tired on the rainy day. They just took this opportunity to vent their anger. Each of them cursed louder and harsher than the other, not to mention the bandits on the city wall.
It was so deafening that even the people in the city with sharp ears could hear it.
In addition to shouting and cursing, there were also people who shot their bows towards the city. Although most of them failed, there were a few that whizzed by and scared the rebels on the city.
Niu Wancai and Ta Tianbao had already gone to the city. They were not angry when they heard the scoldings. They just thought to themselves, I am stupid for going out to fight you in vain. What if there is an ambush? Besides, why should we fight because the city is not defended?
You do it head on.
The more the people in the city scolded him, the more the thieves in the city felt that he was being deceived.
Little did they know that when the third camp was attacking the city, Chang Yu had already crossed the border and traveled more than ten miles to the west under the protection of his personal guards.
It was daybreak and the rain hadn't stopped yet, but the officers and soldiers who were scolding the city left and headed west in a hurry. Niu Wancai and Ta Tianbao were confused. These people had soldiers. They came to scold the city in the rain and then left again, and
Or run west, how dare you go to Sichuan to scold Zhang Xianzhong, he is sick!
"They must want us to go out of the city to chase them." Ta Tianbao felt that the actions of these officers and soldiers were too abnormal. "They have definitely prepared traps waiting for us to jump. Fuck you, do whatever you want. It's raining outside on this cold day."
They are the ones who suffer, we just guard the city and don't go out, let them do whatever they want, I won't take the bait," Niu Wancai said proudly.
If you don't chase me, I will just go smoothly. Chang Yu and his party ran for more than 30 miles in the rain. They were really tired, cold and sleepy. If it hadn't rained, it wouldn't have been so hard, but it happened
... I thought that when I passed through Jingzhou, I would have to fight with the bandits for a few times, but now the fighting was gone, but I had to be hit by cold rain. The pride in my heart was gone, and everyone was cursing their mothers, thinking that Ningyuan didn't want to suffer this.
