Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 202 Had to save 3
  "Your Majesty, my subordinates have been conducting inquiries for days and have recently found out that the troops in Liaodong Town are stationary and cannot come out. Fengtian is holding the city tightly and cannot come out.

Now the nearby border people had already fled into the mountains. Before the fortress defenders fell, they all burned their food, grass and weapons, so the Tatars didn't gain much. In desperation, they began to attack Fengtian yesterday. "

"How is the battle going?" Jia Cong asked hurriedly.

"The Tatars, with nearly 200,000 troops, have surrounded Fengtian City. Not even a fly can fly in. Yesterday, the bloody battle lasted all day. The Tatars barely made an inch of progress, but Fengtian still held on."

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief. If Fengtian fell easily, he would have to consider his retreat. Now he still had some hope.

Fengtian is such a majestic city, with high walls and thick walls, and a veteran general like General Yang sitting in charge. Although the defenders only have 40,000 troops, with the help of the strong people in the city, it is not easy for the Tatars to defeat the 200,000 troops. easy.

Yin said: "We will investigate again and report again!"

"Yes."

"Wang Fei, send someone to keep an eye on Liaodong Town. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately." Jia Cong said.

"Honestly obey orders."

If we want to break the siege of Fengtian, we can't even squeeze the teeth of the Tatars with a thousand men in our own hands. We must send reinforcements from Liaodong Town. I don't know where Niu Shibo has gone. Calculating the days, he should have arrived in Liaodong.

A few days later, Tan Ma reported back.

"Sir, the Tatars have been attacking fiercely for several days, resulting in heavy casualties, but Fengtian is still unharmed. In addition, it was discovered that Liaodong Town sent 30,000 cavalry, seemingly to rush to support Fengtian, and the leading general was Uncle Niu of the Zhenguo Prefecture.

Uncle Niu was overjoyed to hear that the bidder was under the command of the lord, and invited the lord to meet him at Liutiao Village if he could escape. "

Jia Cong already had a map of Liaodong in his mind at this moment. Liutiao Village is located one-third of the way from Liaodong Town to Fengtian. It is about 50 miles away from Liaodong Town, more than miles to the north is Wujing Fort, and miles to the northeast. It is Hupiyi, with three small towns in the shape of "pin".

Niu Jizong asked me to go to Liutiao Village, but he wanted to find a fighter here?

Without any further hesitation, he shouted: "Beat the drums, gather the generals, and organize the troops!"

"Yes!" The soldiers outside the door agreed loudly and beat the war drum.

Boom, boom, boom! Heavy and passionate war drums sounded.

In a moment, everyone in and outside the city had gathered at the school grounds to stand by.

Jia Cong summoned all the generals to his side and said: "Now there are more than 1400 capable soldiers in the army. You and Yu, two thousand generals, lead 300 sergeants, as well as craftsmen, miscellaneous workers, etc. to guard the city and take care of the wounded. We can send people in advance." Go to the mountains to set up a tent camp and prepare food and grass.

If a Tatar army comes to attack, there is no need to hold on. Just burn the food and weapons in the city and evacuate from the tunnel with the wounded. "

You Jiaxi and Yu Hong said in unison: "Don't worry, sir, your humble position will definitely fulfill your mission."

"The rest of the generals followed me on the expedition. According to the previous plan, they each ordered the soldiers to bring the necessary supplies."

"I obey my command!" Everyone took the order and left. In no time, they took out a large amount of supplies from the warehouse and tied them on their horses.

Nowadays, Jia Cong is considered wealthy. He has one man riding two horses, which is very arrogant. If he had not worried that the sergeants were not proficient in horse nature, he would have wanted to have one man and three horses.

Not long after, everything was ready.

Jia Cong walked up to the high platform, took a glance, and saw the soldiers standing as tall as pine trees, full of energy and majestic momentum. He smiled slightly and said: "Brothers, it's time to relax your muscles and bones after resting for so many days.

Now the Tatars are attacking Fengtian City fiercely, causing heavy casualties and being unable to defeat them. Liaodong Town has also sent reinforcements. I am thinking that if I don’t do my job, I might not even be able to drink the soup..."

Everyone in the audience laughed. "So, I have decided to take the initiative and rush to help Fengtian! Let's meet the Tatars again! Of course, there must be someone at home to watch. You are willing to follow me to do something big!" Jia Cong said loudly.

"I would like to!"

"Do a vote! Do a vote!"

All the sergeants raised their swords and guns and cheered in unison.

You Jiaxi and Yu Hong smiled bitterly at each other, hurriedly suppressed it, and personally ordered three sentries to come out to defend the city.

Looking at the 300 soldiers who were called out, they looked angry, and the other soldiers laughed "gloatingly".

Jia Cong and others nodded, military morale is available!
  "Let's go!" Jia Cong waved his hand, and Wang Jin led the Xinghuo camp, all got on their horses and walked out of the south gate.

"Don't forget to bring the Tatar king's flag with you," Jia Cong whispered to Zhang Yuanba.

"Don't worry, Third Master." Zhang Yuanba chuckled, "This is proof that I killed the enemy chieftain. I have to carry it myself so that those bumpkins can see the world."

Jia Cong smiled and nodded. Naturally, he had other considerations.

Jia Cong led his troops all the way south, because he had already discovered that after the Tatars sacked the city, they did not leave anyone to occupy the city, but gathered at the foot of Fengtian City.

If this city is captured in one go, this battle will be a great victory. Based on this, the entire territory of Liaodong can be captured within a few years.

Therefore, Jia Cong did not hide his whereabouts, but swaggered along the official road. Suddenly I saw two ragged border soldiers waving and shouting on the road ahead, so I reined in my horse and asked them to come over for questioning.

"See Lord Defender, I am the garrison of Shangyulin Fort and Pinglu Fort. Now that the fort has been lost, Master Ming and Master Li ordered us to come out to inquire about the news. I know that your Excellency guarded the Shifang Temple Fort and defeated the Tatars, so I have been ordered to come to greet you when I see you, and ask you to go up to Yulin Fort to pay your respects."

Jia Cong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Lead the way."

After saying that, a soldier led two horses to them. After an hour of galloping, they arrived at Shangyulin Fort.

The castle was filled with mist and mist, with burnt houses and broken weapons and arrows everywhere. It was a bit more tattered than the first time we came here, so it was clear that it had gone through a hard battle.

They went up to Yulin Fort to defend Mingyao and Pinglu Fort. Li Ke saw that Jia Cong was coming. He rushed to greet him and said bitterly: "Master Jia is so powerful that we admire him so much. But it is a pity that our fortress has been lost and all our brothers have suffered casualties. I was lucky enough to escape with my life and make the adults laugh."

Jia Cong turned over and dismounted, held the hands of the two of them, and said: "The battle was lost to two incompetents. It is really because the Tatars are so powerful. Let alone the mere fortress, it is unclear whether Fengtian can be defended."

Ming Yao and Li Ke had very little information, so they hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the Tatars have already attacked Fengtian?"

Jia Cong nodded: "A total of 200,000 people have been besieging Fengtian for several days. Now the reinforcements from Liaodong Town have set off, and I am about to go to join them. Are you two interested?"

Their eyes lit up and they said: "How can I not be interested in doing such a good deed of meritorious deeds, but..." As they said that, they looked at the defeated soldiers behind them.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Now we only have Brother No. 100. We don't have food, grass, horses or equipment. Even if we want to go into battle to kill the enemy, we are powerless. Besides, we have to take care of the injured brothers. Alas..."

When Jia Cong saw that the two of them were also talented generals, especially Li Ke, and wanted to win over each other, he smiled and said, "Why sigh? I have all these things. The people who come are divided into two hundred horses and two adults."

You first send the wounded to Shifangsi Fort for resettlement, and then take the horses, grain, grass, and ordnance to meet me at Liutiao Village, and it won't take more than a few hours. "

"I would like to thank you for your high righteousness! I will have my destiny in the future, and I will never frown even though I am in good or bad situations." The two of them said with cupped hands.
