Chapter 671: Guess
The rain stopped, the night became darker, Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou stood at the head of Ningbo Fucheng, staring at the outside of the city with a puzzled expression, the latter even rubbed his eyes and said, "Hey, could it be that the sun came out of the west?" Guanhaiwei's gang of turtle grandsons actually sent troops tonight! ”
It turned out that at this time, a team of hundreds of people came from the east of the city, and they brazenly held torches, and the blazing fire illuminated the night, and of course also illuminated the banner they were holding, on which the words "Guanhaiwei" were written.
However, the next scene almost crooked the noses of Qi Jingtong and Lord Yu.
I saw that this group of hundreds of people stopped a few miles away from the pirate camp, brandishing weapons and shouting and killing, but it kept thundering and not raining. When the thieves' camp was lit with a large number of torches, they immediately turned around and retreated, running faster than rabbits, and never looking back, not even harassment.
"Grass, what are these turtle bastards doing?" Yu Dayou's deputy, Feng Laoliu, couldn't help but scold.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another team came to the west of the city, this team also only numbered a few hundred people, they carried blazing torches, and a banner embroidered with the words "Chang Guowei" was hoisted high.
This Chang Guowei did the same thing as Guan Haiwei, shouting and killing nearly two miles away from the pirate's camp, and before the pirates could react obviously, they immediately smeared oil under their feet and ran away.
Qi Jingtong couldn't help frowning and said, "Could it be a tired strategy?" ”
The so-called strategy of exhausting the troops is to send small groups of troops to harass the vicinity of the enemy camp in turn at night, so that the enemy will be exhausted and the soldiers will not rest well, so as to consume the enemy's combat effectiveness.
Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "It's not like a plan to be tired, if it's a plan to be tired, it should be a retreat when the enemy is ready to attack, just now Chang Guowei withdrew without waiting for the thief to react, so it's just a false momentum." I guess I learned that the Governor was coming tomorrow, so I deliberately pretended to be tonight. ”
Qi Jingtong said in a deep voice: "Don't make a conclusion for the time being, let's take a look!" ”
Yu Dayou shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then let's see again, if the three guards are fighting together, it will be Shaoxingwei's turn." ”
Everyone's eyes invariably looked at the north of the city, because Shaoxingwei's camp was twenty miles north of the city, but after nearly half an hour, there was no movement in the north, and Guan Haiwei and Chang Guowei did not make any moves, which basically confirmed Yu Dayou's guess just now. Guan Haiwei and Chang Guowei are just bluffing to cover up their passive slack.
Qi Jingtong couldn't help but show anger on his face, and said coldly: "It's extremely stupid, they think that they can get away with it in this way, wait and see, how can Lord Xu be easily fooled, sooner or later there will be no good fruit for them to eat." ”
Su Qingsnake said jokingly: "According to me, Shaoxingwei is more realistic, and he doesn't even bother to do these small actions." ”
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, Yu Dayou heard the words and said in his heart: "Qi Qianhu, the governor sent troops south from Hangzhou on the first day of the eighth month, and he should have been able to arrive in two days, why did it take four days?" ”
Qi Jingtong's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "Xiao Yu, what do you mean?" ”
Yu Dayou glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Do you say that Lord Xu has arrived?" ”
Qi Jingtong couldn't help but move in his heart, adults have always paid attention to surprise with soldiers, and they can outwit their opponents, not to mention that the situation in Ningbo Fucheng is critical now, and it is even more impossible for adults to grind, obviously it only takes two days to travel, but it took four days.
"It's possible!" Qi Jingtong said in a low voice.
Everyone looked at each other, and again looked to the north, because if the Governor wanted to come, it was very likely that he would come from the north.
Yu Dayou licked his lips and said to himself: "His grandmother's, Shaoxingwei didn't send someone to bluff, and the adults are ...... if they don't say it's good."
Yu Dayou didn't continue, Su Qingsnake and Feng Laoliu looked at each other in shock, if the Governor was really in Shaoxingwei at the moment, it would be really a fucking god.
Qi Jingtong suddenly became excited, and said in a low voice: "Inform the brothers to wake up the spirits, with my own understanding of the Governor, there is likely to be a battle tonight." ”
Yu Dayou smiled fiercely: "I hope, Green Snake Sixth, inform the brothers to get ready, damn, maybe you can take revenge tonight." ”
Su Qing and Feng Laoliu hurriedly grinded their fists and went down.
It is said that before Xia Yan sent Yangzhou Wei and Gaoyouwei to rescue Fenghua County, but he fell into a trap and almost wiped out the whole army, and finally Yu Dayou led more than 800 people to successfully break through and fled back to Ningbo in embarrassment. Xia Yan handed over the team that was integrated by the remnants of Yangzhou Wei and Gaoyou Wei to Yu Dayou.
"See Lord Xia!"
As soon as Su Qing and Feng Laoliu walked to the steps of the city tower, they saw the Jinyi guards escorting Xia Yan, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, up the stairs, and hurriedly made up their minds to salute.
Xia Yan was still wearing an official uniform, he was working overtime in the government not long ago to deal with official business, just now he heard the sound of shouting and killing from outside the city, and thought that the thieves had attacked the city overnight, so he hurried to the city with the brocade guard.
It is said that since his three thousand Yangzhou guards and Gao Youwei were trapped, Xia Yan has now become quite cautious, and he is suspicious of the gentry and guards in Ningbo Fucheng, so the work of defending the city is handed over to Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou.
Fortunately, according to Xu Jin's official report, he will arrive with his army tomorrow afternoon, Xia Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he holds tonight and tomorrow morning, as soon as Xu Jin's army arrives, then the city of Ningbo will be stable.
Xia Yan looked at Su Qing and Feng Laoliu, who were excited, strangely, and nodded slightly: "Where are Qi Qianhu and Yu Baihu?" ”
Su Qing hurriedly replied, "Lord Qi and Lord Yu are observing the enemy situation at the head of the city. ”
Xia Yan nodded, walked up to the city tower, and Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou hurriedly stepped forward to salute when they saw it.
Xia Yanxing went to the battlement to observe outside the city, and saw that there was no movement in the enemy camp outside the city, and he still asked: "What happened to the shouting and killing just now?" ”
Qi Jingtong recounted the scene that happened just now, and Xia Yan was surprisingly not angry after listening to it, but was silent.
Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou glanced at each other, during this time they followed Xia Yan to do things, although they admired Xia Yan's uprightness very much, but they did not agree with his way of doing things, after all, he was too rigid, and while hurting others, it was easy to hurt himself.
It can be said that Xia Yan himself bears great responsibility for the erosive situation in Ningbo Mansion today, and his strict policy of banning the sea not only forced the gentry and merchants, but also a large number of ordinary people who live on the sea to join Wang Zhi. Obviously, Xia Yan was also reflecting on his own practices during this time.
Xia Yan was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "Lord Xu will arrive with reinforcements tomorrow afternoon, and everyone will work hard during this time, especially beware of thieves attacking the city overnight." ”
Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou glanced at each other again, and the former said in a low voice: "Lord Xia, the last general and others suspect that the marshal has arrived, and it is likely to be in Shaoxingwei." ”
Xia Yan's eyes suddenly showed a strange light, and he looked excitedly in the direction of the north of the city, at this moment, how much Deputy Envoy Xia was looking forward to Xu Jin falling from the sky. ()
