Chapter 1299: Tune in to help

This sudden turn of events caused several hunters to be stunned and stunned in the local area, and then the mourner's family howled and cried out one of the thieves in the house, and was about to ask when he suddenly saw the corpse of his accomplices on the ground, and was immediately horrified, so he ran into the house, and was shot at the door when he turned around.

At this time, all the people in the house were alarmed: "What's wrong with Boss Yan's outside......" Suddenly, as soon as the light at the door dimmed, several big men rushed in and cut them down with a knife.

The room was full of clutter, a broken bed was a mess, and there was a twenty-eight-year-old girl lying on it, all of whom were red and bloody, and her eyes were dull, looking at the roof motionless, not knowing whether she was alive or dead, and she walked in and picked up a piece of clothing to cover the girl, and then looked at the two corpses on the ground and a living mouth that was held down.

Huokou was hung up, and Guo Ren gestured at his face with a sharp knife in his hand: "Ask you one sentence and say one sentence, and if you say more and say less, I will give you a knife."

Energetic mmmmmmmmm

A moment later, the blood in the living mouth had already flowed and twitched a few times before it stopped moving at all, and he stood at the door of the grass hut with a gloomy face and looked down the hill and muttered: "The thieves have scattered so many ears and eyes, and we are easy to be discovered, it seems that we will use the team to open the way to sweep away those ears and eyes, and the team will follow."

"My lord, this is too long for fear of delaying the fighters, and the subordinates propose that the four battalions go separately in groups, for example, the Black Tiger Battalion can go straight to the south and then make a detour, the Black Panther Battalion can climb the western mountain from here and then go south to encircle, and the Black Wolf Battalion and the Guards Battalion can travel a few miles along the valley and turn to the west to break forward, each battalion is responsible for opening its own way to lurk, even if it is exposed, it will not affect the other battalions, and maybe it can also absorb the attention of the thief army for the other battalions" A subordinate proposed in a low voice.

Guo Ren slapped his thigh: "Okay, Lu Cheng, I can't see that you kid still has this brain!" ”

The four battalions are all carefully selected soldiers who can take charge of themselves, so they are in accordance with Lu Cheng's plan and divide their troops to sneak.

Just when the situation was being lurking in the mountains, Chang Yu in Tongling City received a very bad news: Li Muxian was busy in the morning to recruit fishing boats up the river to go to Anqing to pick up the Shenji battalion, but he was intercepted by the thief army and the navy in the river, and less than 30 of the more than 100 boats escaped, and dozens of officers and soldiers were lost.

Chang Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't calculate that Bai Wang had also made preparations on the waterway to block the river, but he underestimated him.

The thief army has been proficient in water in the south for a long time, far from being comparable to the landlubbers in the north, and the fleet sent negligently this time is to recruit local people, and the escort soldiers are few, and they have suffered a big loss after all!

"Do you want to recruit another batch of boats, the soldiers under the lowly rank are also proficient in water, let's fight with Bai Wang on the water!" Wang Tizhong's proposal was approved by the generals.

However, Chang Yu shook his head: "It is unnecessary and meaningless to use one's own shortcomings to the strengths of others, and the victory or defeat of the water has little impact on the overall battle situation, even if you win, it is still difficult to change the positional advantage of the land thief army."

"But if you don't fight with him, how to bring the Shenji Battalion here, if the Shenji Battalion doesn't come, it will be too difficult for us to fight this battle!" Xu Hongji shook his head, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Let's not pick it up, the Shenji Battalion also has legs to come by itself" Everyone was stunned and then woke up, the little eunuch was going to send an order for Wu Weiying to lead his troops back to the other side of Tongling, and then send a boat to the other side to pick it up.

The Shenji battalion is almost all cavalry, although there are hundreds of artillery baggage, but the weight of the tiger squat cannon is only forty catties, the transportation is not so difficult, almost not dragging down the foot, it is estimated that it can reach the opposite bank in two days at most, but at this time, since the thief army has blocked the river, they will not be allowed to cross the water easily, so it is necessary to temporarily form a naval army, not to compete with the thief army, but to protect the Shenji battalion to cross the river.

It was almost hot in the evening, under the shade of the mountains and trees, Bai Wang was half lying on the boulder and overlooking the river, his face was gloomy and uncertain, just now he intercepted nearly 100 boats of officers and soldiers in the river, this incident was a great joy, but Bai Wang was not happy at all, because it was all empty boats, which made Bai Wang very puzzled and interrogated the boatmen, but these people did not know what to ask, saying that they were recruited by officers and soldiers to Anqing to pull things.

Pulling something? As for what to pull, the shipwright didn't know, Bai Wang couldn't guess if he wanted to break his head, but he vaguely knew that there must be a connection with Anqing, and when he thought of Anqing, his heart was instantly raised, and at noon in the middle of the day, there was information that Cheng Niandong had suffered heavy losses to the officers and soldiers in the north of the city, but he was forced to turn to the city last night to defend the city.

This is also good news, and the officers and soldiers have been severely attacked before they arrive, and how can the remaining remnants of the weak generals attack Anqing City, which has a high wall.

But Bai Wang still couldn't laugh, because he found that the strength of the officers and soldiers was far more than he imagined, and the little eunuch claimed to be 200,000 troops when he went south, of course Bai Wang didn't believe it, Wang Zamao said that there were tens of thousands on the other side when he was stationed in Wuhu, and he felt that there were only 10,000 people at most, and later the intelligence showed that there were indeed only 10,000 people in the direction of Anqing

A few days ago, more than 10,000 people on the other side of the strait were transited southward, and today there are tens of thousands more...... Where the hell did such officers and soldiers come from, could it be that there were really 200,000 troops going south?

With Anqing's danger of besieging the city of 12,000, it is not much pressure, but if tens of thousands of armed guys are ready, it will be dangerous, which is also Bai Wang's worry!

No, we must put pressure on the officers and soldiers here to surround Wei and save Zhao! Bai Wang was thinking in his heart.

Anqing outside the city was extremely noisy, under the help of the Shenji Battalion and the pro-guard army, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and the three troops finally forced Cheng Niandong to retreat into the city, and then advanced forward to camp and besiege the city for five miles outside the city.

Anqing City has a dangerous terrain but no moat, because it is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, Yiling Lake in the north, and there is a river flowing from Linghu Lake to the Yangtze River in the east, which is basically a natural moat.

The lake and the river are too close to the city to have enough places to station the army, and it is easy to be attacked by the artillery on the city, so after discussion, everyone decided to camp in the east and west of the city, Liu Wenbing, Zhang Qingzhen, and Wei Shichun led the personal guards to station in the west of the city and inspect the south of the city at the same time, and Gao Jie and the three of them were stationed in the east of the city to inspect the north of the city.

And Wu Weiying's Shenji Battalion is a little embarrassed, he received a military order last night to cross the water to go to the other side to send reinforcements, although he has to toss back and forth, but this old guy is proud, see you, Shenji Battalion is now fragrant.

However, Liu Zeqing and the others knew that the little eunuch had definitely encountered hard stubble over there, otherwise they would not have transferred hundreds of miles to the Shenji Battalion to help.

Although there is no heavy artillery to attack the city, those tiger squat cannons can also do miraculous feats at critical moments, so they pestered Wu Weiying and said all the good things to finally let him go, leaving fifty tiger squat cannons, twenty Zhankou generals and some gunpowder shells, and two hundred artillery shells.

The remaining thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were gathered on the riverside to wait for the boat to pick them up, but the boat did not arrive in the middle of the night, but the messenger came, Chang Yu ordered him to return to the other side of Tongling to cross the river.

This military order made Wu Weiying a little panicked when she heard it at first, to be precise, she was a little scared.

Although it is not the first time for him to go out of Beijing to fight, every time he marches with a large army, many times he follows Chang Yu, but suddenly let him march alone and run hundreds of miles of mountain roads overnight, can you not be afraid, the Shenji Battalion is not known for its good fighting, this is a mountainous area and a thief area, and the ghost knows if there will suddenly be a thief army......

But soon he came back to his senses, Li Yan's army was behind what was terrible, hey, he had to hurry up and send a message, don't wait a while, just block the river embankment, in case he misses the fighter, it's very bad!
