The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 855 Encirclement and suppression
But no matter how urgent, Su Yunduo also knew that Chunfeng and other arrangements could not be disrupted, so he had to be patient and listen quietly to the pre-battle discussions and arrangements between Chunfeng Chunyu and the captains of the cavalry team.

According to the analysis of the news sent back by the spies in the team, there are at least a thousand enemy troops lurking in the valley, and all of them are capable.

It is unreasonable to infiltrate such a large team in the territory, but this is the news that Chun Yu personally led the team to infiltrate the valley, and Su Yunduo felt that even if there were some discrepancies, the difference would not be too far away.

In fact, whether it is Chun Yu who went to investigate the situation or Chun Feng who led the team to guard here, they also have similar doubts in their hearts, but compared to Su Yunduo, the two of them have a better understanding of the situation in this area, so they are also confused. There is a deeper worry.

The mountains in this area are high and densely forested, and the terrain is complex. Several groups of bandits were active in the past. The imperial court was furious because they robbed the military supplies transported to northern Xinjiang, and sent troops to encircle the mountains to suppress the bandits.

Although the imperial court was determined to suppress the bandits, and the strength was not small, but because of the high mountains, dense forests and complex terrain, the imperial army besieged and destroyed the bandit nests, but the bandits withdrew to the deep mountains early, so they could not completely wipe out the bandits. After the army evacuated, the bandits in this area were still very active.

Between the imperial court's bandit suppressing army and the bandits, there is often such a battle between advancing and retreating, just like the "Cat and Mouse" that Su Yunduo had seen in his previous life.

Of course, it is not true to say that the suppression of the bandits has no results. Gradually, the bandits have learned to be obedient and no longer rob the military supplies. There are no more conflicts in the army, and fewer people report to the government. In recent years, it can be regarded as an alternative way to get along with the government in peace.

At this moment, there are more than a thousand "bandits" lurking in the valley. Although Chun Yu's spies did not dare to sneak too close, they were also surprised when they saw so many "bandits" lurking in the middle of the mountains on both sides of the valley. At that time, there were so many bandits in this area.

After lurking closer, he could vaguely hear the voices of these "bandits" talking among themselves, and Chun Yu suddenly realized that these bandits were not bandits from this area, but bandits disguised by the Beichen Kingdom's army.

Then the bandits in this area were either wiped out by the Beichen Kingdom team, or they fled to the deep mountains and hid.

No matter what the situation is, the goal of this Beichen Kingdom team of more than a thousand people must be to pinch the throat between this inland area and Northern Xinjiang.

Does Beichen Kingdom really want to trap this throat with a team of more than a thousand people, or does it have another backup?

Everyone's opinions were not unified. Most captains felt that it was not easy for these more than a thousand people to sneak in, and there should be no backup. This can be seen from the fact that there are no new enemies within a radius of twenty miles.

The remaining few captains insisted that there might be more Beichen soldiers lurking in the mountains. After all, the spies they sent were limited in strength. Including the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley.

Adhering to the principle of prudence, after some discussions, a counter-ambush plan was finally made.

In order to ensure Su Yunduo's safety, it was decided to send a ten-member team to send Su Yunduo and Ziyue to the station twenty miles away to wait.

Su Yunduo knew very well that only by withdrawing to the post station at the back could Chunfeng Chunyu and the others concentrate on attacking the Beichen army lurking in the valley, so it was impossible to insist on staying here, so he set off to retreat when the sky gradually brightened, planning to stop at the post station. We look forward to the good news that everyone has successfully wiped out the team of Beichen Kingdom.

This is a small post station, a two-story post house plus two small courtyards, besides the post ministers, there are more than a dozen postmen. They had replenished at this post station yesterday, and when Su Yunduo and his party returned to the post station again , Xu said that there were few people passing by in winter, and it was still early at this time, and the door of the inn was closed, which seemed extraordinarily quiet.

The team responsible for protecting Su Yunduo is only ten people, and the team leader is a member of the Lu clan, known as Lu Xiaosi.

This little four is not the ranking in the clan, nor the ranking in the family, but the ranking among several sworn brothers.

Lu Xiaosi was about to hit the horse and knock on the door but was stopped by Su Yunduo.

Even if the dawn is late in winter and there are no customers in the station, it is already the end of the day, the station should not be so quiet, there is no big mistake in being careful.

Lu Xiaosi is a clever person to be the team leader. Even if he didn't expect it at the beginning, he felt bad when he was blocked by Su Yunduo. Su Yunduo and Zisu turned the horse's head and hit the horse, and then galloped to Ancheng not far from the post station.

At this moment, the gate of the inn behind him suddenly opened, a sound of "咻咻咻" sounded, and several arrows were fired behind him.

Lu Xiaosi and the two soldiers in charge of the rear of the hall drew out their swords and shot down the arrows. Fortunately, everyone left the station quickly enough, and Lu Xiaosi and the three of them in the rear of the hall were good at their skills, so they didn't get hurt.

Now there is no doubt that the inn that was normal yesterday has now fallen into the hands of Beichen Kingdom. It is unknown how many enemies are ambushed inside, but what is known is that if Su Yunduo was not vigilant, their team would have been arrested if they did not die.

When Su Yunduo and his party entered Ancheng, Lu Xiaosi decisively took out the token in his bosom and ordered the city gate guards to temporarily close the city gate, and then escorted Su Yunduo to the city government office to rest.

At this time, how could Su Yunduo have the mind to rest.

The news that the Ancheng post station was occupied and the enemy situation appeared near Ancheng must be sent to Chunfeng Chunyu as soon as possible, and they must not be allowed to suffer from the enemy.

Lu Xiaosi naturally knew the urgency of the matter, besides, he was also very anxious. On the one hand, he was worried that Chunfeng and others would be attacked, and on the other hand, he was also worried that there would be enemy troops lurking in Ancheng.

Thinking about it carefully, even if Su Yunduo is sent to the Yamen, it may not be safe, it is better to put him beside his team.

So he accompanied Su Yunduo to the city gate to observe the movement outside the city, and at the same time asked the gatekeeper to send a letter to the garrison of Ancheng quickly.

The Ancheng garrison lord who got the news quickly rushed over. Considering that although Lu Xiaosi had a token, the officials had little to say, it was natural that Su Yunduo had to come forward to negotiate with the garrison lord, so Su Yunduo was still wearing men's clothes at this time, The face that was used to cover up has been washed away.

When Lu Jinkang took office in Beijiang, he had a rest in Ancheng for a day. The garrison of Ancheng had met Su Yunduo at the banquet, and had a conversation with Su Yunduo. Although it was not long, the garrison still remembered it. Su Yunduo is a person, so when he saw Su Yunduo, the guard was also very surprised.

After the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, they got to the point. When the garrison learned that the station in Ancheng was occupied by the enemy, Su Yunduo almost died in Ancheng, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Naturally, the post station must be taken back, and the news must be sent out. Chunfeng and the others must not be attacked by the enemy.

The task of delivering the letter to Chunfeng and the others was given to Lu Xiaosi's cavalry, and it was naturally impossible to go out from the city gate here, so the garrison specially assigned a subordinate who was very familiar with the nearby mountain roads to accompany Lu Xiaosi's men. Chunfeng and others report to the hidden place.

Waiting for someone to report to Chunfeng, a battle to recapture the post and encircle and suppress the enemy began.

Ancheng is not big, and the defense team is not big, but there are ten thousand.

Although everyone does not know how many enemy troops occupy the Ancheng station, even if the station is full of enemies, it is impossible for the small station to be crowded with thousands of people. 2000 people besieged the post station.

The post station was captured without any effort, because apart from the corpses of a few postmen, only the postmen who were tied up and stuffed in the firewood room and the few postmen who had not been killed remained in the station. Apparently the enemy has already hastily withdrawn.

After questioning the post ministers, it was learned that the post station was only occupied in the early hours of this morning. Although there were not many people behind the enemy, there were hundreds of people.

The sudden attack almost frightened the post minister, but it also saved his life because of that general who needed to be at the post station and inquire about news.

The post ministers were quite bold, and while cooking for the few postmen who were not killed as ordered, they pretended to surrender and tried to find out the news.

Maybe after trying again and again, they felt that no one here could understand the language of Beichen Kingdom. These people gradually relaxed their vigilance, and discussed it in front of the post minister, but they had no idea that this post minister was a person who knew the language of Beichen Kingdom. Naturally, he heard the purpose of this group of enemy troops clearly.

Not only did the postmaster know that there were thousands of Beichen Kingdom troops ambushing in the valley ahead, preparing to rob the military supplies transported from Yanshan Mansion to Boni City, but he also knew that there were still troops from Beichen Kingdom sneaking in one after another, preparing to garrison in that valley in order to strangle Beichen. Xinjiang's throat.

Hearing this, the post minister was very anxious, thinking about how to send the news out, but before the post minister could think of a way, the general of the Beichen Kingdom who had just filled his stomach ordered him to be tied up with the few living postmen. Get up and throw it into the woodshed.

The general and the soldiers he brought occupied the dove's nest, planning to rest in the station for a while before rushing to the valley.

When Su Yunduo and his party arrived at the post station, the soldiers of Beichen Kingdom were resting in batches. Hearing the sound of horseshoes coming hurriedly, they were already ready to attack and arrest.

Fortunately, Su Yunduo was alert enough, and the escorts moved quickly enough, which avoided the danger of being injured or caught.

The general of Beichen Kingdom learned that the whereabouts were discovered, and the post officials and post soldiers in the firewood room did not even have time to deal with it, so they hurriedly left the post station with their troops. Unfortunately, the post officials did not know the whereabouts of the enemy troops.

It is said that the whereabouts are unknown, but in fact, the footprints and horseshoe prints outside the post station have already indicated that the whereabouts of this enemy army is probably the valley ahead.

Lu Xiaosi was so anxious that he was about to take the remaining cavalry towards the valley, but was stopped by the guard: "Captain Lu, don't worry. General Chun and the others must have received the news at this moment, and they will be prepared Just now you also heard from Fang Yichen that there are hundreds of enemy troops in this group, wouldn't it be like a tiger's mouth if you bring a few horses back?"

At this time, Su Yunduo and Ziyue also rushed to the station under the guard of the soldiers arranged by the garrison. They were naturally extremely anxious when they learned the situation, but they also understood that what the garrison said was true. The few who got off rushed back on horseback.

But the siege of Chunfeng and the others must be resolved, and the transportation of military supplies must be smooth. Then the two groups of enemy troops must be wiped out, and the channel through which the enemy army has sneaked in must be found out and blocked. The safety of military supplies and food and grass.

At this time, Su Yunduo didn't hide his clumsiness anymore, and directly expressed his thoughts in front of the guard, which immediately won the praise of the guard, and after some urgent discussions.

Su Yunduo stayed in Ancheng to live in the garrison mansion, and the garrison master was responsible for Su Yunduo's safety.

The garrison handed over the two thousand soldiers who came to recover the station to Lu Xiaosi's command, rushed to the valley ahead, and cooperated with the cavalry led by Chunfeng to destroy the infiltrating enemy army.

The soldiers who came to recover the station this time were almost all the elites of the Ancheng garrison, including nearly a hundred cavalry. Su Yunduo was very satisfied with the arrangement of the garrison.

Lu Xiaosi was even more delighted, he led the hundred riders to the valley first, and the rest of the infantry were led by other generals in the garrison to run to the valley.

Lu Xiaosi led these hundreds of people on fast horses and rushed to the valley, and when they were more than ten miles away from the valley, they heard shouts of killing coming from the front. Without thinking about it, they knew that Chunfeng and the others had already started fighting with the cavalry led by General Beichen Kingdom.

Chunfeng and the others must not be allowed to fall into the dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides. Lu Xiaosi rode his horse and drove forward, while turning his head and shouting: "The opportunity to do meritorious deeds has come, go!" and rushed into the battlefield with a hundred horses.

The team of cavalry led by Chunfeng is in a dangerous situation at the moment. Although Lu Xiaosi sent the news in time and Chunfeng also adjusted the battle plan, he never expected that the general led by Beichen Kingdom would come so quickly. The general and the team of cavalry he led were all very brave. In addition, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the valley, not only weaker than the opponent in number, but also lagging behind in personal combat ability.

Even if the soldiers brought out by the spring breeze were all elite soldiers, they still couldn't be compared with a horse nation like Beichen Kingdom.

While they were struggling to hold on, another group of cavalry rushed out from the direction of Ancheng. Chunfeng thought that Beichen Kingdom had backup, and was shocked and angry, but when he saw Lu Xiaosi, he breathed a sigh of relief .

Although Lu Xiaosi only brought a hundred cavalry, the combined numbers of the two men were still outnumbered, but it greatly inspired the fighting spirit of his own soldiers, and the situation changed after a long period of morale.

Once the morale on the battlefield changes, it is possible to turn the tide of the battle. The horse riding team brought by Lu Xiaosi became the first key point of victory this time, and of course it is not enough to win the battle.

The battle is still difficult, the battlefield is already full of blood, both sides have casualties, and even Chunfeng, who is outstanding in martial arts, has suffered injuries.

The soldiers of Dongling Kingdom were naturally more physically exhausted because they had been traveling for several days. As the battle became stalemate, the soldiers naturally became more and more exhausted as the battle progressed.

Seeing that the battle situation was about to turn around again, at this time, there were waves of drums and shouts of killing from the valley.

This is the soldiers from the other side of the valley joining the battle!

The soldiers of Dongling Kingdom cheered up again, but the soldiers of Beichen Kingdom panicked a little. After all, this was in Dongling Country. Even if they still had people sneaking in, they couldn't come to support them at this moment anyway.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of troops holding the "Lu" battle flag rushed out from the valley, and thousands of soldiers and horses appeared behind Lu Xiaosi. Apparently, the Ancheng garrison army had also arrived, and the battle situation suddenly became Dongling Kingdom. The soldiers' encirclement and suppression of the invading enemy.
