Jiaohua

Chapter 673 No room (one more)
It has been raining heavily in Hengxiang for several days, but Huazhou thousands of miles away is full of stars.

The wind blows the long grass, and the lights are scattered in the wilderness. In the dark night where the lights cannot be lit, ferocious beasts are gnawing on the broken corpses.

As soon as the battlefield ceased, the routs fled, the pursuers pursued, and finally it became this dilapidated mess.

The corpses of several blackbirds that had been shot to the ground by arrows were pulled up, and several soldiers threw them into the bamboo basket behind them expressionlessly, and walked towards the next batch of bird corpses.

In addition to birds, there are horses, and there are people.

People can't eat it, but birds and horses can.

The horse's body was cut up on the spot and sent back in batches.

The soldiers were busy, and a few pairs of deep eyes looked at them silently in the darkness across a river.

Dai Yu also held an arrow in his hand, with a dead bird stuck in the tip of the arrow, it was not black, but an extremely bright kingfisher.

"It's everywhere," Dai Yu said, "I bumped into two living people on the road. They said this was the third time. King Chong was good at using flying birds to attack people and horses. Once the black flock of birds came out, he couldn't stop them. Stay, there are all kinds of birds."

Du Xuan's expression was cold: "These people are very vicious, poisoning the birds like this."

The moonlight passed through the shade of the trees, scattered all over the place, and the stars were white.

Standing on the half cliff, Shen Lie watched as the soldiers cleared a piece of grass, and then went down to the next piece.

They repeatedly retracted the arrow and left the bird carcass behind, until they were so proficient that they became numb.

Shen Lie thought that she and Xia Zhaoyi had seen a lot of bird traps outside Jiuning County before, and she said that these birds might be related to the war, and she was really right.

They just came out of Yongwu City five days ago, and all the subordinates who had been scattered in Songzhou before finally assembled.

The three lost contact, and the place where they lost contact was in Yixing.

As for Yixing, he was slaughtered by a group of new rebels a month ago.

Shen Lie waited here for [-] days and realized that he couldn't wait.

Except for the three people who lost contact, no one was killed. Only six people were injured by the chaos of the war on the way, but they were not seriously injured.

It is very lucky to be able to get together, after all, Huazhou is torn apart and it is really too chaotic.

During the waiting process, they also inquired from many sources. The members of Ji's family left Daping safely and went back to Zuilu.

But Song Zhiyi was furious and sent heavy troops to demand that Zuilu hand over Ji's family, otherwise Zuilucheng County and 68 villages would be slaughtered.

So although Ji's family returned to Zuilu, they were thrown out by the officials and people of Zuilu unanimously.

At the last moment, the members of Guo's family suddenly stopped, trying to protect Ji's family.

Now we have to wait for Song Zhiyi's reaction.

Song Zhiyi and Guo Shu have been friends for decades, everyone is curious whether to turn their faces or to save face.

Shen Lie is 100% sure that Song Zhiyi will give this face.

If Song Zhiyi really wanted to attack the drunken deer, he didn't have that much heart and strength.

Different from the war in Youzhou, Zuilu's geographical location is very special.

On the previous map of Dagan, the topography of Tangzhou and Zuilu are the two strangest ones. They look like a branch of long plum and a mushroom on the map.

Tangzhou is very narrow and long, while Zuilu is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.

The two have a common feature, that is, bordering at least six states and provinces.

If you want to attack the drunk deer, you will not only touch the chaotic land of Huazhou, but also Mouye.

Muye has now almost become a battleground for military strategists. The battle of Muye apparently restrained the three parties, but in the dark, it did not know how many forces were entangled.

Song Zhiyi could launch a massive military campaign in Youzhou, far away from Muye, but once he attacked Zuilu, he would not only push the Guo family to the opposite side, but he might also be overwhelmed by Tian Dayao and Yun Bozhong's army and stabbed in the back.

Rather than having multiple enemies, it is better to save face.

Although this face, in fact not much use.

After all, the Liangzi of the Guo family and Song Zhiyi is more than the one in front of them. The siege of Youhu County in Jiangzhou a year ago, whether Song Zhiyi has forgotten it or not, but the Guo family still remembers it.

As well as Shen Lie, he also remembers it deeply.

Now, when Shen Lie came out of Yongwu City, he would send the Sun family and Ji Xia back to Zuilu, and he would go to the Guo family to have a complete settlement, or even a breakup.

After the calculation, he should go and leave, and he will go back to find Jin Hongkang and chase Yuanying.

At this time, footsteps were heard from behind.

Du Xuan took a look and said, "Master, Di Jinsheng is back."

As soon as the voice fell, a man of medium stature stepped forward: "Master."

Shen Lie turned around: "How is the road ahead?"

"The mountains to the east are steep, and it's even more difficult to walk at night, not to mention we have a carriage. Two miles to the south, we found a troop setting up fortifications. There may be another war in the next two days."

"Fighting again?!" Dai Yu shouted angrily, "Is he from the Lin family?"

"No, the soldiers and horses of the Lin family have been scattered and fled in the past two days," Di Jinsheng said. There are a lot of people."

"Approximately how many people are setting up fortifications. If we attack by force, what are the chances of winning?" Shen Lie asked.

"Let's say 200 people, it's hard to say about the storm. Whether there are other deployments after that fortification, there is no way to find out for the time being."

Du Xuan looked at Shen Lie: "If we can send 200 people to fortify, the total number of troops in this army should be no less than [-]. Young master, we need to be cautious."

Shen Lie didn't speak, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "There is no room for caution. Once the fortifications of 200 people are completed, they will not be able to win this battle quickly. Order them to prepare immediately and prepare in half an hour." leave."

"To the south?" Zhai Jinsheng asked.

"Nan." Shen Lie said.

Half an hour later, it was almost three quarters, and with the rush, it was the most difficult time of the day when it was almost ugly.

If you take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack the most remote place at this time, Shen Lie will have the best chance of winning at present.

Counting Du Xuan and Dai Yu, Shen Lie brought a total of 62 subordinates, Lin Zhonghu was not counted, besides that, there were Sun and Ji Xiahe who were riding in the carriage.

Although the vanguard is responsible for the charge, it is absolutely difficult for the opponent to succeed in a short period of time, so we can relax a little bit on the rigid requirements.

The latter is responsible for escaping, and it is very likely that the opponent will slow down and intercept it, but the conditions for escaping are even more needed.

So Shen Lie reassigned the 62 subordinates.

First-class charge into battle, riding a second horse to clear the way.

The stronger and stronger horses are left behind for the less able ones.

For them, Shen Lie has no other requirements, but only tells them to run all the way after breaking through the checkpoint, not to love fighting, and not to look back.

The night was getting colder and colder, and it was impossible for the soldiers picking up arrows in the distance to think that there would be a new crisis two miles away.

And the people who were setting up fortifications two miles away could never have imagined that in such a deep and quiet night, a fierce cavalry would rush out.

The wind blew in Nagano, and the howling of wolves continued. When the exhausted construction soldiers heard the sound of galloping horseshoes, they thought they were sleepy and had hallucinations.
