Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 659
"Since Sun Chengzong is unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous. After leaving the customs, find an open place to stop. When the time is right, run directly to the northeast. As for the attack on Xuanzhen, let This old bastard, Sun Chengzong, can go on his own." Wu Xiang looked at her son Wu Sangui and said.

To be honest, Sun Chengzong's arrangement just fit Wu Xiang's idea.

Wu Xiang hadn't planned to attack Xuanzhen together with Sun Chengzong, now it's most appropriate to let him go outside the pass.

What Wu Xiang is angry about now is that Sun Chengzong didn't take him seriously at all, let him go out of the customs, and even made a big show to attract Zhao Wen's attention.

……

Xuan Town is just to the west of the capital, and there is not much distance between the two.

Sun Chengzong led the soldiers and horses he brought back from Shanhaiguan, as well as some of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and the new army, to walk on the official road.

Because Sun Chengzong was going to the south, he was still far away from Xuanzhen at this time.

Although Sun Chengzong is old, his physical fitness is relatively good.

He was wearing a suit of armor, riding on a war horse, looking at the road ahead with a firm expression on his face.

His general Cao Wenzhao led two thousand nights to cruise in front of Sun Chengzong, investigating the enemy's situation.

The direction of Sun Chengzong's advance is Zhuolu Mountain, which is located in the southeast of Xuanzhen. Zhuolu Mountain is the only way to go to Xuanzhen from the south.

After leaving Zhuolu Mountain, head all the way north. If you hurry up, you can reach the city of Xuanzhen Town in one day.

Wu Jisheng led the Chinese army and horses, and kept moving towards Chang'an Office.When Wu Jisheng moved to Chang'an, he followed Sun Chengzong's order and made great fanfare.

To some extent, Wu Jisheng's army is a chess piece that attracts Zhao Wen's attention.

According to Sun Chengzong's plan, the place Wu Jisheng attacked was Chang'an Station in the east of Xuanzhen.

Because the distance was not very far, Wu Jisheng was not far away from Chang'an after two days.

After passing through Yanqing Prefecture, the distance to Chang'an was getting closer and closer. At this time, Yanqing Prefecture was still in the hands of the imperial court.

After leaving Yanqing Prefecture, Wu Jisheng still walked on the official road with great fanfare.

Not long after they left Yanqing Prefecture, they were discovered by Ye Bushou sent by Chang'an.

Because of the existence of telescopes, Yebushou of Chang'an Institute can spot them from a long distance.

The Ye Bushou sent by Chang'an not only discovered Wu Jisheng's movement, but also checked the number of Wu Jisheng's soldiers and horses.

Visually assessing the number of enemy troops based on various conditions is the basic ability of Xuan Zhen Ye Bu Shou, and it must be mastered in every Ye Bu Shou.

After Ye Bushou of the Chang'an Office conveyed this order back, the soldiers and horses in the Chang'an Office did not take any further action. They did not send troops to attack Wu Jisheng.

Because at this time Wu Jisheng and the others are still far away from Chang'an, anyway, Wu Jisheng will arrive at the city of Chang'an sooner or later, so there is no need to send troops to attack early.

In the yamen of Chang'an, a young general stood in the center of the yamen, looking at a map of Xuan Town on the table in front of him, his brows were tightly knit together.

This young general is Zhang Dong, the head of the third regiment of the Royal Guards. Zhao Wen handed him over to Zhang Dong for this front-line battle, and Zhang Dong is fully responsible for it.

Although Zhang Dong is not very old, he has been with Zhao Wen for a long time and has fought many battles with Zhao Wen.

Looking at the map on the table, Zhang Dong murmured, "According to the information obtained by Yebushou, there are about 2 troops here.

Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the court now, it is impossible to have only 2 soldiers and horses.When Hong Chengchou attacked my Xuanzhen, he led so many soldiers and horses and was defeated by us.It is impossible for the court to send only 2 people this time.

The number of soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court this time may not be many, but it is impossible to have such a small number of soldiers and horses. "

"I think so. Although the imperial court doesn't have many soldiers and horses, it is impossible for them to send only such a small number of soldiers and horses. For the current imperial court, breaking my Xuan Town has become their life-saving straw. In this kind of matter, There is no way they could have made such a childish mistake.

I heard that it was Sun Chengzong who led the army, but Sun Chengzong was not comparable to Hong Chengchou.Although this person has never fought against us, he has fought many battles with Jiannu.This person is definitely not that easy to get along with, and it is absolutely impossible for him to make such a naive mistake.

Maybe this army is only used to attract our attention, and it is not necessarily true that Sun Chengzong's brigade is waiting for an opportunity elsewhere. "

Said the general of the reserve defenders in the Chang'an Institute.

Now, except for the formation of soldiers and horses in Huguang, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Shandong, the formation of the reserve forces in Xuanzhen has been changed by Zhao Wen according to the specifications of later generations.

Now there are 500 people in Chang'an Institute, which is the strength of a regiment.

The person who spoke was the commander of the garrison in Chang'an.

Because he is a reserve soldier and Zhang Dong is a guard, so he has to follow Zhang Dong's command in making decisions.

In today's Chang'an Institute, a regiment of the Guards and a regiment of the Reserve are stationed, totaling 3000 people.

In the hall stood the guards and officers of all ranks of the defenders, and they also had doubts on their faces.

"That's right, Sun Chengzong has such a great reputation, it's impossible to attack us with only such a small number of troops."

"It's impossible for the imperial court not to know how powerful we are. If such a small number of soldiers and horses attack us, it's not enough to put a hole in our teeth."

For a while, the generals in the hall talked a lot.

Zhang Dong's frown became tighter and tighter. After a long time, he slapped the table and shouted: "Maybe Sun Chengzong wants to use these soldiers and horses to attract our attention and let us attack these soldiers and horses. Then Sun Chengzong led the remaining soldiers and horses to take the opportunity rush in."

After Zhang Dong finished speaking, the head of the reserve team also said: "That's right, I think it's the same situation, otherwise, it doesn't make sense that there are only such a few people."

"Pass me an order to send out all the Ye Bu Shou in the city. At the same time, notify all the troops in the east, and let them intensify their investigation efforts to find out the remaining soldiers of Sun Chengzong. Besides, We also need to investigate outside the customs, and notify the various ministries of the Horqin Grassland to send out their cavalry.

After Horqin's long peaceful life, it's time to come out and do some activities.By the way, this matter must be notified to His Majesty in time.Let's stand still for the time being, and wait until the soldiers and horses arrive at the city. "

……

At this time, Sun Chengzong led the soldiers and horses to Zhuolu Mountain.

Zhuolu Mountain is located in the southeast of Xuan Town, and there is still a lot of distance from Xuan Town.

After passing Zhuolu Mountain, if everything is normal, Sun Chengzong will lead his troops and horses directly to the north, bypassing the heavily guarded Baoan Prefecture, and reach the hinterland of Xuanzhen.

Zhuolu Mountain is not high, but it has a large area. It is very easy to hide such a small number of people as Sun Chengzong.

If there were no soldiers and horses to investigate, maybe Sun Chengzong would really be able to get past him.

However, when Zhang Dong conveyed the order to the various troops in the east, the generals of these troops dispatched a large number of nights to investigate.

Similarly, Zhuolu Mountain did not escape detection.

A night-buying team of about 50 people was advancing with difficulty in the mountain path in Zhuolu Mountain.

Because of the high mountains and dense forests, this team that does not collect at night did not ride horses, but walked.

"Do you think it's a little strange, you look at the birds in the sky, why are they always flying in the sky?" A young soldier in the Ye Bu Shou team looked at the birds in the sky and asked with a puzzled expression.

The captain of the Ye Bu Shou team raised his head and glanced at the bird in the sky, his expression darkened instantly.

"There is a situation! Follow me!" Ye Bushou's team leader shouted heavily, loaded the 56 in his hand, and then ran forward at a faster speed.

"It's dusk now, and birds usually return to their nests at this time. But now, the birds in the sky are circling low-altitude non-stop, and there is no tendency to go back. There must be someone nearby." The captain of the Ye Bu Shou team ran forward. He said while muttering.

This is his many years of experience. I dare not say that it is sure, but it must be quite accurate.

After walking forward for almost two quarters of an hour, a loud sound suddenly entered the ears of these night-buying people.

The captain of the Yebushou team hurriedly took his subordinate Yebushou to hide in the surrounding woods.

The captain of the Ye Bu Shou team lay on the ground, looking ahead.

After a while, I saw a team of about 20 soldiers passing by in front of their eyes.

"These people should be the Ye Bu Shou of the imperial court." The captain of the Ye Bu Shou team murmured as he watched the Ye Bu Shou pass by him.

After these people left, he took Ye Bushou under his command and went forward.

The sky gradually darkened, and when the moon was above the treetops, the Ye Bu Shou team came to the top of a valley.

At the bottom of this valley, there are continuous tents.

These tents were built by Sun Chengzong's order. Although Sun Chengzong was afraid of revealing his whereabouts, he didn't make people angry, but through the moonlight, the Ye Bu Shou team could still see the tents at the bottom of the valley.

The captain of the Ye Bu Shou team looked at the tent at the bottom of the valley with a serious expression on his face.

"It seems that these soldiers and horses should be Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses. No wonder the number of soldiers and horses encountered outside Chang'an is so small, so the rest are here.

Zhuolu Mountain has a huge area, if we hadn't been lucky, we might not have discovered the existence of these soldiers and horses. "The captain of the Yebushou team muttered twice, then looked at Yebushou who was following behind him, "Go, go back, and pass this order back. "

The Yebushou team cleaned up and cleaned up their own traces, then walked back from another direction.

At this time, Sun Chengzong was sitting in his big tent.

Because he was afraid of revealing his whereabouts, he didn't ask people to light the lamp.

The entire big tent was dark, and Sun Chengzong just sat on the main seat of the big tent, his brows were tightly locked together, thinking about something.

After a long time, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "As long as you get out of Zhuolu Mountain and go all the way north, you can reach the city of Xuanzhen Town. If you act secretly and don't let people find out, you will surely succeed in this battle."

……

Before the sun had risen on the horizon, the Ye Bu Shou team returned to the barracks.

Outside the north of Zhuolu Mountain, there is a battalion of reserve troops stationed.

Because this is a mountainous area, there are relatively few defensive forces. After all, the mountain road is difficult, and Hong Chengchou did not take this road last time.

After returning to the barracks, the captain of the Ye Bu Shou team reported what he had detected to the battalion commander.

In the large tent in the middle of the barracks, the battalion commander looked at the leader of the Yebushou team standing in front of him, frowned and said, "Can you see clearly? Are they really Sun Chengzong's soldiers?"

At this time, the matter is of great importance, and the battalion commander cannot be careless.

"My lord, this matter is absolutely true. Although they did not raise their banners and light their lights, the dark tent will not lie. These troops must be Sun Chengzong's follow-up troops." the way.

"Looking at it this way, everything makes sense. Let me just say, how come there are only so few soldiers and horses appearing near Chang'an Station. It turns out that the real killing move is here. Sun Chengzong is really extraordinary, extraordinary. After getting out of Zhuolu Mountain, head all the way north, even with just two feet, you can arrive at the city of Xuanzhen in less than two days. Hehe, Sun Chengzong is indeed very scheming." The battalion commander sneered again and again.

Afterwards, he looked at the captain of the Yebushou team, "This time I will give you a big credit, you should go down first."

"Obey!" The captain of the Ye Bu Shou team gave a military salute to the battalion commander, and then withdrew.

The battalion commander sat in front of the table, took out a piece of rice paper, wrote the news on the rice paper, and stamped his big seal.

After doing all this, the battalion commander found a messenger, handed the military report to the messenger, and asked him to send it to Chang'an.

At noon, the military newspaper was delivered to Zhang Dong.

Standing on the city wall of Chang'an Station, Zhang Dong held the military newspaper in his hand, his face was full of excitement, "I finally found it. It turned out to be here, and it turned out to be in Zhuolu Mountain. I really didn't expect that Sun Chengzong had such a plan."

Zhang Dong put away the military newspaper in his hand, then looked outside the city.

"Since you have discovered where your main force is, I will not be polite to the soldiers and horses outside the city." Zhang Dong looked at the orderly behind him, "Send me the order, and all the soldiers and horses in the city will attack and defeat the enemy. After defeat, send troops to Mount Zhuolu to encircle and suppress Sun Chengzong."

At this time, the soldiers and horses led by Wu Jisheng were already very close to Chang'an, only twenty miles away.

If the normal marching speed is followed, then these soldiers and horses will be able to arrive this afternoon.

Originally, Zhang Dong planned to wait for these soldiers and horses to arrive outside the city of Chang'an before attacking, but now that he has figured out the movement of Sun Chengzong's main force, Zhang Dong chose to fight quickly.

A moment later, the gate of Chang'an was opened, and the reserve soldiers and guards came out.

After leaving the city, these soldiers and horses gathered together and went forward in echelons.

There is a cavalry battalion in this regiment of the Guards, with a number of about 300 people.

After these people left the city, they rushed towards the east.
