When Wu Sangui and Ma Ke led their troops into the mountain, the king woke up in the big canyon more than ten miles west of Liufeng Mountain, not waking up but not sleeping well, no one could sleep well in this environment.

Walking out of the grass hut and seeing that there were curled up and sleeping subordinates everywhere under the bushes, Wang Tizhong couldn't help but take a long breath and walked to the river to wash his face, looked north and south along the river, got up and walked along the river bank to the north, and the soldiers hurriedly ran to him to give him a hat when they saw this, Wang Tizhong asked casually: "Who is the person who is following behind, and how many?" ”

"There are people who asked all kinds of miscellaneous people before, but there are only hundreds" The pro-soldier replied, and Wang Tizhong snorted: "Damn, it's really time for us to explore the way, this is to pick up a bargain in the back!" ”

"General, what then, get rid of them?" The soldier asked, and Wang Tizhong snorted: "How to shake off the blue sky and white sun" said and turned around and looked at the six peaks of the mountain in the east, the mountains are high and the forests are thick, and the smoke and rain are misty and rainy, and I can't see any clues, damn Bai Wang, where are you hiding.

"General, shall we go up the mountain?" Seeing that he had been staring at Liufeng Mountain in a daze, the soldiers asked, Wang Tizhong came back to his senses and looked at both ends of the canyon, gritting his teeth: "Continue along the river to the south!" ”

"But general, there is no trace of Bai Wang's deserters in this canyon......"

"You are also a veteran, Bai Wang's set is not clear, there are traces may not be clues, it may be a trap, there are no traces of the place is a little strange" Wang Tizhong looked at the east peak again: "If he goes up the mountain and sees us below, he will naturally not come down, and we can't catch up with him when we go up, at this time, Wang Zamao can't hide it when he stirs up in the mountain, either flee to the east or flee to the south, let's go down the river to the south of the mountain, see if we can copy him in front of him......"

Wang Tizhong decided to try his luck, and he also used a little trick to make a counter-reconnaissance, let his men walk through the woods along the foot of the mountain, even if Bai Wang watched from the mountain, he could not find his whereabouts, and at the same time, it was best to persuade the friendly troops in the rear to persuade him to retreat, so that he could also confuse Bai Wang on the mountain, so that he thought that the pursuers in the canyon had withdrawn.

Dadukou is a big village, but also a big ferry to the opposite bank of Anqing City, in the past, the river boats in a row after the passenger brigade endlessly, but since the thief army took Anqing City after the ferry became withered, the people on both sides of the strait either fled like the mountains or were coerced by the thief army, and the people who crossed the river to and from are mostly thieves, and now the ferry has been sealed, the river has not seen the boat, but there are many people on the riverside, looking at the other side of the river day and night.

There is no doubt that these people were all meticulous work sent by Bai Wang to reconnoiter Anqing, and they could not cross the river, so they could only entrench themselves in Dukou Village on the riverside and watch the actions of the officers and soldiers on the other side.

The village was empty early in the morning, and only the dozens of thieves were left to ravage here.

In the evening, the rain gradually stopped, and the thieves in the village had nothing to do to rummage through the houses, and suddenly heard that dozens of horsemen were coming slowly due north, so they gathered at the head of the village to look, and saw a cavalry coming violently.

"Can the officers and soldiers break the city?" As the cavalry approached, one of the leading men on his horse shouted, and several of the thieves shrugged, "Not yet, what are you doing?" ”

"Take the life of the dog" immediately the man suddenly opened his bow and shot fast, the thief army was shocked, the cavalry hurriedly chased after the bow and waved the knife, and slaughtered dozens of thieves in the village in just one cup of tea.

These people are naturally Chang Yu and his party, the reason why they did not arouse the vigilance of the thief army is because they changed the clothes of the common people in Niutoushan Town, they look no different from the thief army, thinking that they were sent by Bai Wang to carry out some task......

When the soldiers were searching and chasing the thieves everywhere in the village, Chang Yu Lema looked at it again and again with a clairvoyant mirror by the river, and he couldn't see clearly in the smoke and rain, but it could be seen that it was already a lonely city, and the officers and soldiers camps could be seen in the east and west of the city.

"Overseer, shall we cross the river?" Li Muxian asked behind him, and Chang Yu heaved: "If we cross the river like this, I'm afraid that if we can't touch the shore, we will be shot hedgehogs."

This is by no means a lie, the other side of the river in order to prevent the careful infiltration of the riverside arranged manpower 12 hours uninterrupted monitoring, but if you find that there is a boat and someone crossing the river to shoot directly, don't look at the other side at this time there seems to be no one, once you get close to you will find that from behind those riverside reefs, many people will emerge from the bushes to greet you.

What's more, at this time, Chang Yu and his entourage were no different from thieves wearing civilian clothes, and if they dared to cross the other side of the river, they might not even bother to ask, and shoot the bow directly.

However, Chang Yu did not plan to cross the river, as mentioned before, if Li Yan could not capture him, there was no way, and although it was not the best way to besiege the city and put pressure at present, it was the best way to avoid serious casualties.

So now it's just a matter of consumption, but Chang Yu is a person who can't sit still, he is active and adventurous. He wanted to continue to travel west in an instant, but at this time, since he was passing by, he couldn't help but say hello, so he ordered Chen Suole to take a few personal guards to change back to military uniforms, get a big boat in the village, and go straight to the opposite bank.

"When the boat crosses the middle of the river, you have to greet it, so as not to be injured by mistake" Chang Yu repeatedly explained before Chen Suole went into the water, the river in front of him is a mile wide, and the sooner he shows his identity, the safer it is.

Chen Suole took three people into the water, all four of them rowed across the river for the first time, and when they came in, the river rose sharply, the water was turbulent, and they were a little nervous in their hearts.

As soon as the boat was launched, it was washed away more than ten meters away, and everyone on the shore couldn't help but shout, don't rush to Nanjing......

The four of them rowed hard regardless of their heads, and half a cup of tea arrived in the middle of the river, which was the crowd behind Chang Yu who was noisy again, because they saw that many people were suddenly looking at the other side, and they all had a heart in their hearts, and Li Yan was really well guarded.

"My own people, I am the ...... under the command of Dongchang" Chen Suole waved his waist card and shouted loudly in his mouth, so far away, the other side couldn't hear what he said or saw the token in his hand, but this move would make the other party not attack them.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers on the shore saw that he did not attack this move, and when he was closer to the shore more than ten meters away, they finally heard clearly, the people of Dongchang? I'm rubbing, why did they run to the other side, it can't be fake.

It doesn't matter if he is true or not, he will be tied up first, so when Chen Suole and the others just landed on the shore, they were held down and tied firmly, at this time, he didn't do any struggle, but kept explaining: "I am the commander of the personal guard of the overseer of the East Factory, and the overseer is on the other side...... Take me to see Li Yan, he knows me ......"

Li Yan was sleeping at this time, because just last night he launched the first test attack since the siege of the city, although it was only a test attack, but the battle was not small at all, and even the men and horses of each department were fully besieged the city, with Liu Zeqing and Liu Tichun attacking from the east gate, and the rest of the troops as the side attack.

Although the city was not successfully broken, it also probed the reality of the city defense, and more importantly, the pressure on the thieves in the city was greater, and of course the officers and soldiers were damaged.

After dawn, Li Yan ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to the camp to rest, washed up a little and fell asleep, and the rain was so rainy that the sleep was really called a fragrant, and he slept until the evening in the blink of an eye, but at this time he was woken up by outside, saying that he had caught the thief army lurking from the other side and wanted to see him by name.

Brought to the front of the tent to take a look, Li Yan quickly got up and loosened the tie in person, good guy Dongchang The head of the eunuch's personal guard dare to tie it up, isn't this causing trouble for me.

Chen Suole didn't care, and was very happy to see Li Yan: "The general and I came by order of the Governor, and the little Governor came over on the other side to inform you......"

Li Yan was confused when he heard this, didn't Chang Yu fight Chizhou, why did he suddenly arrive on the other side, could it be ......

"One night, oh no, just before dawn, we saw Bai Wang's falling flowers and flowing water and fled directly into the mountains, at this time Wu Sangui and others all went into the mountains to chase Bai Wang, the Lord Governor couldn't sit still and went west first, he said that it was too grinding to fight the big cities, General Li was good at this, and the Lord Governor went to the west to clean up those small towns......"

Chen Suole's spit flew and he couldn't stop with his mouth, Li Yan first listened to the clouds and then was overjoyed, it turned out that Chang Yu had taken Chizhou, and Bai Wang was also defeated by him and fled into the mountains, which ...... It's just so smooth! At present, it can be said that as long as Anqing City is recovered again, the southward suppression of bandits and the chaos will be completed!

While being overjoyed, he suddenly heard that Chang Yu was going to continue westward on the other side to regain the lost territory, wait, didn't it mean that Wu Sangui and the other armies had entered the mountain: "That...... How many soldiers did the Overseer lead? ”

"There are a total of seventy or eighty of us in the guard camp plus our personal attendants, what's wrong?" Chen Suole's face was questioned, but Li Yan's face changed: "No, this move is too risky!" ”

Although he knows that Chang Yu is brave, but it is really risky for you to go deep alone with less than 100 people, you must know that the mountains are full of ups and downs here, and the thief army will never face you head-on when fighting, and you will never show your face if you can die, not to mention that you are going to attack the city, is this person enough to hold a ladder, do you have a ladder......

"Oops...... This doesn't matter, General Li, you are too worried" Hearing Li Yan's worries, Chen Suole waved his hand disappreciatively: "We have already obtained a confession from the details, there are hundreds of more in those small cities in the west, and there are only a few dozen thieves at the least, so don't worry!" Besides, we can't attack it, if we can't take it, we will go around, and we don't believe that the thief army dares to go out of the city to chase us, so we can't ask for it......"

"No, I'm going to see Lord Overseer" Li Yan was about to leave when he was stopped by Chen Sole: "You are the commander and you can't leave the front line without an order, and the Lord Governor came in person just now when he saw you......"

When persuading each other, the generals also rushed to hear the news, everyone asked a lot of Chen Sole will know and said again, everyone is surprised and happy and anxious, surprised that the little eunuch is too awesome, on the other side of the road all the way through the general has been killed here, and has been the thief head defeated and fled like the mountain, happy is that Anqing has become a lonely city at this time, then you can let go of the fight, the urgency is that there are not many opportunities to make money now, you have to see the stitches!

Li Yan also knew that he couldn't persuade Chang Yu, but he didn't worry about his lone army going deeper, so he wanted to transfer some soldiers and horses over and was rejected by Chen Suole: "The river is turbulent and ferrying, it's not appropriate to ferry, don't toss when it's dark, the overseer asked me to come to pass a word, and when you come back, I hope you have broken the city......"

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Li Yan didn't bother, and asked some more questions, Chen Suole and a few people went back before dark, and the generals here sat in Li Yan's tent one by one, and fought again tonight!

"Fight, must fight! No matter how much daylily is boiled, it's cold" Huang Degong couldn't sit still and shouted at the top of his throat, and was echoed loudly by the generals, Li Yan smiled slightly, and swept everyone: "Chizhou has been broken, Baiwang has collapsed, it shouldn't be us who is in a hurry!" ”
