"No, one of them is Lin Ziran's men, but what about the other group? Could it be the Guang'an rebels?"
Many questions instantly came out of the mouths of Yan Qiyue and Zhou Li.
After the messenger took a breath, he said: "They are not from Qingshan Town, they are from the north, they are from the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade!"
"The Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade? Why are they here? Shouldn't they be in Chongguang City? And even if it is them, how can they fight?" Yan Qiyue became even more confused.
The reporter really didn't know about this issue.
With doubts, Yan Qiyue, Zhou Li and others quickly went to the northern city wall, climbed onto the city wall, and stood high and looked into the distance. Only then did they see two groups of cavalry confronting each other in the open wilderness more than a thousand meters away to the north.
However, there were already many dead and injured people lying on the ground. It seemed that they had just fought a wave and now it was time to reorganize the queue.
After taking a closer look with a single-channel telescope, Yan Qiyue confirmed that the two groups of troops to the north were indeed the cavalry of the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade. They were flying the same flags and wearing the same military uniforms.
But why did they fight?
He doesn't know!
Just when the Sixth Brigade and the vanguard cavalry of the temporary brigade north of Sanyang Town were already fighting, Lin Ziran continued to lead his troops four or five kilometers east of Sanyang Town.
Qingshan Town is not close to Sanyang Town, more than ten kilometers away, but they set off early in the morning, and the first ones to set off were combat troops, and the baggage was still behind, because the marching speed was relatively fast.
They had already walked most of the way in the morning. After a brief rest for half an hour at noon, they continued their journey. Now they had arrived at a place more than 4,000 meters away from Sanyang Town.
Because the area around Sanyang Town is relatively flat, although there are rolling hills, if you stand higher and use a telescope, you can actually see the city wall of Sanyang Town several kilometers away.
However, Lin Ziran hadn't seen the city wall of Sanyang Town yet, he just saw his scout riding back quickly.
"Sir, we found other troops fighting in front!"
"Judging from their flags and uniforms, they should be the cavalry of the 6th Brigade and the Temporary Brigade!"
After the scout finished his brief report, it was Lin Ziran's turn to wonder.
Why did the people from the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade come to Sanyang Town?
At this time, shouldn't they be fighting to the death in the Nanguang City area? Why did they suddenly run to Sanyang Town in the south?
"How many cavalry did they fight, what was the specific situation, and were there other troops who spotted them nearby?" Lin Ziran didn't believe that the cavalry from the 6th Brigade and the Temporary Brigade would appear here for no reason. There must be something here.
There is something that I don't know.
Moreover, it is very likely that the main force of the Sixth Brigade or the temporary brigade is nearby.
Just as Lin Ziran asked, another scout came running back from the front, and he said a sentence that Lin Ziran was very familiar with: "Sir, it's not good!"
These words made Lin Ziran very unhappy: That’s not good!
Damn it, this sentence is always said, is it annoying? You say it is annoying, but I am annoyed just listening to it.
The scout continued: "We found the main force of the Sixth Brigade about six kilometers northwest, at least two thousand people!"
"Why did the Sixth Brigade come to Sanyang Town?" Lin Ziran couldn't figure it out.
Wu Guanlin on the side also frowned and said: "The Sixth Brigade was stationed in Chongguang City before. Judging from the current situation, if the Sixth Brigade wants to quickly return to the county to aid, then they should go directly from Chongguang City.
Take a boat and go south.”
"Even if they don't make a boat, they should still go to the west bank of the Luo River, where the roads are smoother and there are no other local forces blocking them along the way!"
"Why did you come to Sanyang Town?"
Wu Guanlin also didn't understand. As a top student who graduated from the infantry department of Luo Hai Military Academy, he had been in the army for many years and moved to many places. Not to mention that he also served in the unit directly under Cheng Lingfeng in the Luo An Army a few years ago. Although he said
The follow-up result was not very good. At least thousands of Luo An's troops were killed. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been sent to a military court and shot.
Having said so much, I just want to say that Wu Guanlin has a basic understanding of the basic geographical conditions of the counties in Nanhai Prefecture, the branches of various vassal towns, etc. The Renluo River is the main inland river artery in Nanhai Prefecture.
The situation was even more familiar to him.
The county seat of Luo'an County is on the west bank of the Luo River, not the east bank. At the same time, the terrain on the west bank of the Luo River is relatively flat. More importantly, the area from Chongguang City to Luo'an County City is under the direct control of the government. There are no
What too many local feudal towns.
On the other hand, in the east coast area, the terrain is more complex, there are many militia groups, and there is also the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, which is now the 3rd Division Supplementary Brigade, such an unstable factor.
So Wu Guanlin didn't think clearly. If the Sixth Brigade wanted to quickly return to the county to aid, they would either take a boat directly. If they didn't dare to take a boat, they should also go to the west coast. This way they came to the east coast, and they even ran to
What's the point of coming to Sanyang Town?
When Lin Ziran, Wu Guanlin and others were confused, suddenly there was another report from the scouts ahead.
As soon as the reconnaissance cavalry came back, they immediately reported that the main force of the temporary brigade had been discovered in the north, and there were at least two thousand troops.
The scouts came back one after another, and the news they sent back frightened Lin Ziran. If they didn't go to the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade, they had to come here to Sanyang Town. What a big deal.
ah.
"What happened today is a bit strange!" Lin Ziran murmured. If he had known this, he should have looked at the almanac before going out, instead of purely following the battle plan to determine today's expedition.
However, in fact, even if you want to see the almanac before departure today, you don't have to. This world is not the earth, so there is no such thing as the almanac.
At this time, Luo Mazi stepped forward and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"The 6th Brigade and the Temporary Brigade in the north can tell at a glance that they are going to start something. If we are not careful, we will most likely be implicated!"
"How about we go back today and come back tomorrow?"
Luo Mazi made a proposal at this time, a very good proposal!
The Sixth Brigade wants to fight back to the county town, and the temporary brigade wants to stop the Sixth Brigade. This is destined to have a big battle between the two brigades. However, the life and death of Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi has nothing to do with Lin Ziran.
, he didn’t want to be implicated and start a fight out of nowhere.
Another very important point is that Sanyang Town is right there, and it is not possible to escape on its own without looking at the long legs, and the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade are unlikely to stay here for a long time.
So after Lin Ziran pondered for a few seconds, he looked up at the sun in the sky, half-squinted his eyes and said: "Today is too hot, not suitable for fighting. Let's go back and rest first, and then come to Sanyang Town in two days!"
