I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 134

Wu Wang Zhao Deyu who was awakened heard that there was an enemy cavalry attack at night, although he was very flustered in his heart, but his face was cold and there was no fear at all.

Then he went out of the tent wearing a python robe and took a look, and saw that although the left barracks were chaotic, they quickly formed a defense line.Moreover, his central army had already been alarmed, and the various ministries quickly formed their formations, and it was impossible to surprise him with the strength of the rebel army.

So he calmed down, pretended to be calm and said: "Why panic, there must be elite defenders in the city, no more than a few hundred people at most, order all the troops to guard their camps and not move rashly."

So Zhao Deyu returned to the big tent of the Chinese army again, and continued to fall asleep.The guards were also surprised when they saw this, but they were also surprised by the prince's calmness.

As for whether he can sleep or not, only God knows.

In the camp of the left army of the rebels, Wang Bing was carried down for medical treatment. Wang Yang was anxious and angry when he saw his cousin was injured, but he didn't lose his temper.

Instead, he ordered all units of the army to gather together. Some panicked soldiers who were killed by the northern army in the camp were still running around and were directly beheaded by Wang Yang's order.

Under the command of the generals and schools at all levels, the ministries followed the order step by step and restored order.

And every move like this fell into the eyes and ears of Chen Xing and Qu Twelve.

"The rebels were able to restore order so quickly. It took only half an hour to catch up with the frontier troops." Qu Twelve muttered softly, and the two were sitting in the dense forest outside the rebel camp.

Chen Xing said with a smile: "Come on, compared to the Jianghuai armies, the current rebel army is already considered elite, but compared to the Hexi frontier army, it is far worse than that."

The two of them are currently in the dense forest outside the southern army camp, monitoring every move of the rebels. The four of them, in the night attack just now, were in twos and twos, responsible for cleaning up the rebels' sentries, and then returned to the cavalry. Troops rushing into the enemy battalion created a prerequisite - removing the antlers.

Then the four of them did not follow the cavalry into the Mata enemy camp, but sneaked into the surroundings to observe and record the situation of the rebel army. This was the task Fu Jinchuan gave them.

"Let's go, go back to drink." Qu Twelve stood up very calmly, and tidied up the grass on his clothes.

Yuan Heng, Wei Zongqing, Li Zhaoxin, and the staff of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, a group of people were relieved to see Fu Jinchuan's entire teacher return.

After Fu Jinchuan entered the city, he got off his horse and immediately called all the soldiers who participated in the robbery to drink freely all night long.

"Drink the wine of victory when you return!" "Dry"

And the soldiers on duty in the city also cheered when they learned that the enemy camp killed by the night attack troops had returned after the chaos.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The Baiqi robbery sounds very encouraging, but in fact it has little effect on the direction of the battle. It is just a tactical trial that caused the enemy to lose hundreds of people.It is more likely to cause certain fluctuations in the morale of the enemy troops.

But these statistics did not affect the cheers of the defenders.After all, the city has been closed for so many days, and to take the initiative to attack tonight will naturally cheer up the defenders of Runzhou.

And this battle has still become one of Fu Jinchuan's many achievements, and it is talked about by people.

At dawn, General Zuo Wang Bing woke up. He was lying on the bed with a pale complexion, his head was tightly wrapped with gauze, and his left eye was continuously oozing blood because of the burst of anger. He already knew clearly that he had become a one-eyed dragon. .

"Brother, please be calm and don't be impatient. It's more important to heal your injuries now." Cousin Wang Yangzheng persuaded him, because he was in a rage, so it was useless to apply gold wound medicine to his left eye, and the snow still couldn't stop Live to flow out.

"Can you find out who that person is?"

Wang Bing looked at Wang Yang and asked.

"The cavalry general yesterday should have been reinforcements from Yangzhou. Neither Li Zhaoxin nor Yuan Heng in the city have such abilities."

Wang Yang's own shoulder also had a dull pain, but fortunately he wore armor yesterday, so the arrow didn't penetrate deep into the flesh, it was only a skin trauma.

This is also because the bow Fu Jinchuan used yesterday was not his usual seven-stone bow, otherwise Wang Bing would have been killed by that arrow, and Wang Yang's shoulder blade would have been pierced by the arrow.

"We must find out the name of this person. After breaking the city, I will kill him. I will hang him up and shoot him with a hundred arrows." Wang Bing clenched his fist and slammed it on the bed.

"Meet the Lord"

"Meet the Lord"

The voice from the door made the Wang brothers look sideways. It was Wu Wang Zhao Deyu who had arrived in person.

"How is General Zuo's injury?"

Wang Yang hastily cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the prince. Brother's injury."

Wang Bing struggled to get up, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I'm fine. I just lost my eyes, so I won't delay killing the enemy. As long as my lord gives an order, I can wear my Shanghai card and go to the city first."

Zhao Deyu came over and hurriedly held down Wang Bing to make him lie down, and then sat on the edge of the bed, watching his left eye still oozing blood, and sighed.

"Hey, general, don't be too polite, and don't get angry. I already know what happened last night. What the general needs to do at this time is to take good care of his wounds. There are still battles to be fought. You are also counting on the general to go to Huaisi for the sake of Gu, and drive directly to Beijing." "

Zhao Deyu treats these confidantes extremely kindly, and at the same time treats them grandly, whether it is to buy people's hearts or is so sincere, these generals and subordinates are grateful for his kindness and are willing to die for them.

After all, to be able to gather such a large team, it is not enough to rely on the prince's status and ambition alone.Knowing people's hearts and making good use of them is the means and ability that a superior person should have.

Zhao Deyu came out of the tent of the left army camp and returned to the big tent of the central army. All the generals had already gathered.

"Yesterday's night attack resulted in more than two hundred casualties. I didn't expect the Runzhou defenders to have such vigor. This king really impressed me, but I don't know who led the army yesterday. They are really brave generals."

Hearing Zhao Deyu's exclamation, Lu Qing, Li Tuizhi and others were a little unconvinced.

"Why should the prince build up the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? The enemy generals only dare to sneak attack at night, but dare not go out to fight in the daytime. In my opinion, Runzhou can be captured in just a few days."

"Yes, my lord, please send my troops to fight today, and take Runzhou as soon as possible, so that we can encircle Jianye with Dudu Xue."

All the generals were fighting with high spirits. Seeing this, Zhao Deyu was determined, but shook his head, "Last night, the enemy attacked at night. Although our soldiers only lost a few hundred, after the night attack, the soldiers' hearts were shaken, and they must fight." I have no heart, and in the past few days of fighting, a lot of siege equipment has been damaged, so I will call a truce today, let the soldiers take a breath, and wait for the siege equipment to be complete before attacking the city."

As soon as the generals heard what the prince said, they could only suppress the desire to fight in their hearts, and went down to comfort the soldiers.

On the other hand, Zhao Deyu went out to visit the camp again, looking at the city not far away and said: "I thought Runzhou would be broken in three days, but now it seems that it will be delayed for a while, and I don't know how Xue Julin is. gone."

Gu Xianglin said: "The quarrying is difficult from the north, and easy from the south. There should be news in the past few days."

"Looks like I can catch my breath today."

In Runzhou City, Yuan Heng was relieved to see the Southern Army camp a few miles away, and there was no sign of leaving the camp.

Even if you are used to battle formations, you can't say that you are completely indifferent to life and death, not to mention that this is also a rare respite for Runzhou City.

Wei Zongqing said with a smile: "This is thanks to Marquis Wu An."

"Hahahaha." Yuan Heng laughed loudly, "I remember my son saw Wu Nihuigai the day before yesterday, and said he was going out of the city to raid him, and I said who he thought he was. Hahaha, who would have thought that it would take only a few days? , this kid really fought the enemy side by side with Marquis Wu'an, really"

Yuan Heng is also somewhat complacent.In the team that went to battle last night, there were also twenty soldiers of his Yuan family, as well as his eldest son Yuan Gang.

He thought that if the father and son were lucky enough to be famous in history, the history books of later generations would probably write "Heng Zigang, young and brave, Fuhou Baiqi attacked the camp, Gang followed him, and beheaded more than ten levels."

But when I think of this, I feel a little sad, I hope the next record is not "Runzhou is broken, father and son have a death festival"

And Fu Jinchuan, who gave them a day's respite, had already returned to Jiangbei together with Lu Xun, the governor of Yangzhou, and several staff and personal guards of the governor's mansion.

Fu Jinchuan is not the defender of Runzhou, and he has no plans to live and die with Runzhou.

He is the governor of Yangzhou, and he went to Runzhou to investigate the enemy's situation. Now that the enemy's army is almost fine, it is natural to return to Yangzhou to take charge of the overall situation in Jiangbei.

After disembarking at Guazhou Ferry, the group rode back to Yangzhou without stopping.

"Go back, don't miss out, I went to Runzhou just to check the enemy's situation, and never went out of the city to fight."

When he was about to enter the Dudu's mansion, Fu Jinchuan only remembered this, and followed a few people behind him.

"promise."

Several personal guards responded in unison.

But several staff members didn't know what was going on, only Xu Yinglong, who was born in Shangjing, suppressed a smile, and then cupped his hands.

"Don't worry, Dudu, we will definitely not say anything."

Fu Jinchuan also cupped his hands and said, "Please."

Then turn back to Fuchu.

Seeing the dazed faces of Wang Zuoqiu and Zhang Gao, Xu Yinglong pointed to the back house, and whispered the word "princess".

The two suddenly realized, Wang Zuoqiu sighed: "The governor Baiqiu dared to rob the camp of tens of thousands of people. He was so courageous. Why would the three armies be brave and afraid of Her Royal Highness? Such extravagant people are also afraid of their own crimes? "

Zhang Gao laughed after hearing Wang Zuoqiu's words: "Brother Wang, it's not because most governors are afraid. You are not married yet, and you will understand when you are married."

Xu Yinglong also suppressed a smile and nodded.

The three came outside the festival hall talking and laughing, and then entered the hall with a solemn expression.

Fu Jinchuan, who had just entered the Dudu's mansion at this time, had not had time to sit down and drink a sip of water, directly discussed the current military situation and follow-up combat arrangements with his staff.

"Now that Runzhou and Caishi are undefendable, there is no need to fill people in the south of the Yangtze River. The situation of the rebel army has exceeded our expectations. I ordered the two ferry crossings to be ready at any time for the defenders to withdraw northward."

Cui Fangyi was surprised when he heard the military order: "During the time of the late emperor, the king of Lu conspired against him, and the turmoil was limited to a few states. It depends on ten months, but now the king of Wu is so powerful that he can swallow half of Jiangnan Road in one go? How long has it been delayed?"

"This time, that time."
