Chapter 603: The Cavalry Attack
603.
The cavalry is coming
Yongnu City, located in the southeast of Youzhou, Dingshui, Lushui meet here, there are many rivers and depressions in the territory, it is the largest county in Youzhou from the point of view of area, and the typical land is wide and sparsely populated.
Everyone retreated, leaving Li Zhen alone in the hall, "Jingyang, Yongnu's information will be investigated as soon as possible."
"The spies have been dispatched, and a response is expected within two days." Li Zhen said directly.
Li Pojun nodded, "I will write a newspaper and let people spread it to the capital quickly." At the moment, the paper was laid and the ink was polished, and the pen was handed over to Li Zhen.
For the next whole day, Huichang City was busy.
"Hey, do you know, the imperial army killed Lin Xin's dog thief last night, and now we will return to the imperial court." A merchant stood next to the vendor selling Hu cakes with a pestle, looked at the newly reorganized Huichang defenders passing by in front of him, and said in high spirits.
The vendor owner sneered when he heard this, and said straightly: "Cut, you just know, last night it was a big movement, the forest dog thief didn't hold on for an hour, it was destroyed by the imperial army, and the rebels were all deflated calves, and the good days were just what rebellions, your majesty today, the former king of Qin, that came from the rain of arrows in the sword mountain, that is a character who has not been out for thousands of years, and he does not weigh his own pounds."
The vendor owner seems to be a fan of Qin Wang, and when he talks about Li Shimin, his face is full of red light, and he pats his chest and gives a thumbs up.
When the merchant heard this, he also responded, and then laughed and said: "Yo, old Fengtou, when Lin Xin was still there yesterday, how could you not dare to have such a spirit."
The old man known as Lao Feng's face turned red when he heard this, indeed, when Lin Xin was still alive, who dared to say it, he couldn't be arrested.
Just when Lao Feng was annoyed and angry, there was a commotion in the distance, and the two of them were curious, only to hear bursts of chanting, "The county government has issued a notice, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led the army to recover our Huichang, and the thieves have been pacified."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, His Royal Highness the Prince? Lao Feng's eyes widened, and he threw down the vendor and rushed to the county office, and the merchant stretched out his hand and shouted: "Old Fengtou wait for me" and spread his legs to catch up.
In less than half an hour, the entire Huichang City was spread all over, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led the army to pacify Huichang City, and the atmosphere of the whole city was high.
Walking on the street in casual clothes, looking at the people coming and going in Huichang City, Li Pojun also couldn't help but admire Wang Zhengyong's ability to govern, Huichang City, a small city in the north, is so prosperous, but it is inseparable from Wang Zhengyong's ability to govern, after the turmoil, Huichang not only did not have a big chaos, but also in the shortest possible time to return to peace, the people are happy, but also thanks to Wang Zhengyong, a county commander with a good reputation.
It seems that this Wang Zhengyong, as a talent of a hundred miles, is indeed a bit condescending to govern a county, and this performance is at least enough to dominate a state and a county.
As soon as he returned to the military palace, before he could sit down, Li Zhen hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, the more than 1,000 enemy cavalry troops are in the north of the city, and they are only twenty miles away."
Li Pojun stood up after hearing this, "Let's go, go to the city."
After putting on his armor and walking, Li Zhen said: "The spies came to report that the more than 1,000 cavalry troops crossed the Dinghe River, that is, they ransacked a village on the bank of the river, raped/abducted them all night, and only left the village at noon today, so they have not been able to find their whereabouts before, and after leaving the village, they have come to Huichang City all the way to Huichang City."
Li Pojun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, why did the more than 1,000 cavalry troops come to Huichang, according to the time, the cavalry left Changzhou half a day earlier than he attacked Huichang, it is impossible that the direction of Changzhou knew in advance that he was going to attack Huichang, so he came to reinforce, if it was so mysterious, it would be hell.
On the city wall, I saw that all the soldiers were already in battle, sharpening their knives, Li Pojun didn't need to inspire any soldiers, not to mention that Li Pojun was also faintly suspicious, these more than 1,000 cavalry should not be here to attack the city, nonsense, can the cavalry still attack the city, the cavalry army attacked the city head-on, and the Mongolian cavalry did it later.
Since it is common sense that it is impossible for cavalry to attack the city, what is the purpose of these more than 1,000 cavalry troops? Moreover, it is only two or three hundred miles from Changzhou to Huichang, and the fast horse will arrive in one day, why did it take two and a half days for these more than 1,000 cavalry troops to stop and stop all the way? In two and a half days, even 10,000 infantry troops have come.
Suddenly, Li Pojun's heart moved, looking at the imperial court flag waving at the head of the city, and even the order was given: "Replace the flag at the head of the city and replace it with Lin Xin's."
The generals were stunned when they heard this, and with a thoughtful look, Zhai Changsun said straightly: "General, are you trying to lure the enemy?" ”
Li Pojun nodded, "Look, will these more than 1,000 enemy troops not know that Huichang has changed hands?" ”
The generals thought about it for a while, and they all nodded, "I shouldn't know, the news didn't spread so fast, and the time was not right."
"I definitely don't know, didn't it mean that this group of cavalry also looted the village, if you can do such a mess, you must be a foolish general who leads the army, if he can find out the news in advance, it would be strange." Zen Master Yuwen said indignantly.
Hearing the words of Zen Master Yuwen, Li Pojun's eyes lit up, and he said bluntly: "Exactly, such an undisciplined army is not to be worried."
Replaced with Lin Xin's Lin character banner, the generals couldn't help but feel weird.
At this time, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard in front of me, and a cloud of smoke and dust was raised, but there was a bit of momentum, and a thousand cavalry troops roared in, which was indeed extraordinary.
"It's all good horses on the grassland." Zhai Changsun saw it from afar and exclaimed, he was a cavalry expert, Xiliang people, he was a person who knew horses, and the momentum of more than 1,000 enemy troops from afar was not false, all of them relied on the strong BMW under the crotch.
Li Pojun and the others retreated behind the city, and by looking at it, the more than 1,000 cavalry troops stopped at the bottom of the city.
Li Pojun and the others did not look very good, these more than 1,000 cavalry troops did not seem to be bad, and the ability to hold the horses together was amazing, you must know that thousands of horses were running, and it was not easy to stop together.
I saw the leader of the leader, with a rough face, a large beard on the chin, a square face with the rough mine, and inverted thick eyebrows, which made this person very rough.
The man carried a long knife, hit the horse forward, and shouted: "Lin Xin, quickly open the door for Lao Tzu, close the city gate in broad daylight."
At this time, an adjutant general on the side stepped forward and frowned and said, "General, it seems that something is wrong, why is the city so quiet, and how is the city gate closed in broad daylight."
The bearded general didn't even think about it when he heard this, and he scolded: "The ghost knows what kind of trouble Lin Xin is making." After that, he scolded impatiently: "Everyone is dead, open the door for Lao Tzu."
