Chapter 1245 - Waiting for Individuals
In the grass shed on the hill thirty miles north of Wuhu City, Chang Yu looked at the rain curtain outside with a relaxed face, and even hummed a small song leisurely, next to Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji and others looked inexplicable, and said in his heart This little eunuch is really calm, you must know that there are tens of thousands of thieves in the south attacking the city, and there are only a thousand rookies defending the city, even if he has done enough to put pressure on the thief army here, but after all, there is no substantial reinforcement, so he is not afraid that the city that has just arrived will be lost.
"Report, the thief army has withdrawn its troops and plundered the surrounding area!" When the scout came to report, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and their faces were happy, and they all looked at the little eunuch, but seeing that his face was calm, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw them to the scout: "Warm up your brothers!" ”
The scout quickly thanked him and turned to leave.
"The thief army has retreated, can we enter the city?" Xu Hongji asked, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Our family has no opinion, but Grandpa Guo has to ask those thieves in front of him if they agree" Xu Hongji smiled awkwardly: "What does Grandpa Chang mean, the thief's heart is still immortal?" ”
"The thief army has the hatred of seizing the city, how can it be easy to die, there must be a second wave, otherwise if he withdraws his troops, he will not leave a lone army here for us to fight back and forth, since the thief army ten miles away has not withdrawn, it means that he still has a mind, and his plundering also proves that the thief's heart is not dead, he is out of food, he has to do his last fight!"
"Then let's sit back and watch here, and let Jin Shenghuan's thousands of people defend it?" Lu Daqi couldn't bear it, Chang Yu sneered: "Does Lord Shangshu think that his subordinates can break through the defense line of the thief army ten miles away and rush to the city to help?" ”
Lu Daqi stopped talking, lowered his head and sighed, while Zhao Zhilong interjected: "If there are more than 10,000 people behind us, why can't we even help the three thousand thieves in front of us?" ”
Chang Yu laughed: "You asked the wrong person about this, Xin Chengbo should ask himself."
Zhao Zhilong was blushed by him, and he wanted to say something, but Zhu Guobi next to him tugged at the placket of his shirt and signaled him to stop talking, the more he talked, the more embarrassed he became.
"Sharpening the knife can't roll the blade, Nanjing's 20,000 soldiers and horses are exhausted and demoralized so far, if you don't say how to resist the enemy before you force yourself into battle, you are afraid that you will be in chaos, the soldiers are too resentful, and there is a possibility of mutiny," Li Muxian said softly, and everyone's eyes looked at him.
"Lord Governor led his troops to fight while training his troops, but he didn't let them die in vain, but gradually polished them into a strong army! Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, although we can advance with the army of thieves at the moment, but after the first battle, let's not talk about the outcome of the battle, how many casualties, more than half of it will be lost in one game, and there are thousands of miles to the south, and there are more than a dozen cities of all sizes to fight? ”
Everyone nodded silently and thought it was true, after all, they were like a mirror in their hearts.
"The thief army can't be hit at one time, and it will be mad for the second time, Lord Overseer is so confident that Jin Shenghuan and those people can stop it, if there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a waste of success, and he will work in vain" Lu Daqi still remembered, perhaps because Jin Shenghuan was his subordinate and cared too much.
"Defending the city is a thousand catties, the morale of the thief army is now low and the weather affects how fierce it can be, and its troops are now at most four or five thousand, Jin Shenghuan's more than 1,000 soldiers and horses are enough, not to mention that they are by no means alone, and the people of the entire Wuhu City." Chang Yu said with a relaxed face.
"Grandpa Chang is really so confident that the people in Wuhu City will help Jin Shenghuan defend the city with one heart and one mind?" Zhao Zhilong couldn't help but ask, Chang Yu nodded slightly: "If the people in our family are not there, they may not have one heart, but at the moment, the situation is tenacious, this guy has more pigs to eat, he knows how to do it."
"But it is impossible for the thief army to be without reinforcements, if its army comes, Jin Shenghuan may not be able to defend the city even if the people of the whole city are raised!" Zhao Zhilong asked again, Chang Yu snorted: "Uncle Xin Cheng finally asked the point, the thief army has reinforcements coming, otherwise why are we waiting here?" ”。
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other as if they didn't understand.
"The weather is bad and the march is difficult, rather than being tired and half dead and sent over for others to cut down, it is better to rest your strength and wait for others to send it to the door! What do you think? Chang Yu smiled, Lu Daqi and the others finally reacted, the purpose of the little eunuch was not Wang Zamao at all, this guy was not in Chang Yu's eyes at all, if he wanted to kill him, the army could defeat him and flee south, but Chang Yu didn't want to let the loss of troops be too heavy, and secondly, he didn't want the soldiers to be too tired, so he used Wuhu City as bait to fish Wang Zamao behind Wang Tizhong, he wanted Wang Tizhong to be sent over for him to beat!
Awesome little eunuch brother!
At this time, Xu Hongji and the others no longer dared to have a trace of contempt for the little eunuch in front of them, although they heard of his prestige in the past, but when they first saw him, they thought that he might not have any real skills, but this army was only a few days, and from the marching formation to the strategizing methods, the old and spicy and unexpected means were far beyond their reach.
In the evening, the rain was weakening, and the sky was clear, Chang Yu walked out of the canopy and looked up at the sky, the clouds were rushing with the wind, and he turned his head and smiled at Li Muxian: "Go out and go out?" ”
Li Muxian's face was worried: "I'm afraid it's too risky."
"It's better than squinting and sleeping here, and it's fun to be active after a few days of idleness" Chang Yu laughed and shouted into the distance: "Lao Jiu, beckon the brothers to go out hunting."
"Father-in-law Chang, no!" Only then did Lu Daqi and the others see Chang Yu's intentions, he was going out to play again, this is not good! Not to mention that there are 3,000 thieves ten miles ahead, there are dozens of miles in this radius full of thieves' spies, one careless may be deeply surrounded, it is too dangerous, to be honest, they don't care about the life and death of the little eunuch, what they care about is how to fight in this battle without the little eunuch? Unconsciously, they have developed a sense of dependence on Chang Yu.
"Why not, you can believe it, our family can only lead a battalion to Wuhu City, and no one can stop it" Chang Yu laughed and left, and everyone looked at each other: "This eunuch is really arrogant" Zhu Guobi sneered in a low voice.
"There have been many capable people throughout the ages," Lu Daqi looked at Chang Yu's back as he descended the mountain, and sighed.
"There will be rain when the sky is mad, and there will be disaster when people are crazy, hehe...... Wait and see," Zhao Zhilong pursed his lips and sneered.
At the foot of the mountain, the three hundred black wolf battalion brothers led by Lao Jiu are ready to go, with a bow and a knife on their backs and soft armor to kill them, and the east factory has more than 600 heavy armor that can be used in turn when equipping the two battalions when they go into battle, but when they go south from Beijing, the weather is hot and there is no war all the way, and they are in a hurry to put the heavy armor in Li Yan's main force, in fact, this kind of muddy battlefield after heavy rain is not suitable for wearing heavy armor, because it will make the war horse fall into the quagmire if you are not careful,
So now the three hundred soldiers of the Black Wolf Battalion are just wearing conventional leather armor, this kind of leather soft armor can block ordinary knife slashes and long-distance bows and arrows, but after encountering water, it becomes extremely hard and extremely hard Arrows twenty meters away can't penetrate it, of course, the strong bow of more than two stones or the kind of swordsmanship master who is tough is another matter.
"Brothers, let's go to Wuhu for a walk, are you afraid?" Chang Yu put on soft armor and turned over on his horse, raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.
"I'm afraid of his mother's begging!" Lao Jiu's people shouted, Chang Yu laughed and patted the horse and hurried away, Wu Zhong's relatives followed him, and more than 300 horsemen whipped away in the drizzle.
