Indeed, what is the situation in Xuzhou today, and who are the Qing army generals who are guarding there, for Sun Yuan, it is basically a black eye. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow]

The Xuzhou Traffic Station of the Detective Factory had already captured Xu in Zhun Tower, and was destroyed in the war when Qin was defeated.

It's not that he didn't think about sending scouts to reconnoiter the enemy first, but the problem is that now the troops are marching in a hurry, and the speed of the troops has reached the standard of scouts and light horses, and there is no point in sending scouts and horses.

At this moment, he didn't send anyone over to investigate, and the enemy sent spies over first. It's okay to be so, it's really sleepy and someone sends pillows and interrogates them.

It is said that it is an account, but in fact there is no festival.

The weather was hot, Sun Yuan and they didn't camp at all, and some cavalry even slept directly on horseback.

So he sat down on the matza and waited.

In a few moments, several heavily armed soldiers escorted the group over.

As soon as he saw the captives they caught, Sun Yuan's eyes straightened, and he couldn't help asking, "This is the spy you caught, are you sure?" ”

Even Tang Wenxing, who was standing beside Sun Yuan, was angry: "Catch a group of Taoist priests here, what kind of fame are you doing?" ”

"Yes." The guard at the head said: "Back to the Hou Ye, just now I saw this group of cows probing their heads outside the barracks, and their appearance was suspicious, so I went over to take a look." These miscellaneous hairs came over to curry favor with a flattering face, and asked us which way we were and who the leading general was. If it is an ordinary Taoist, how can it be possible to ask these questions, what is this not a spy? ”

The guard threw four swords and an iron staff on the ground and said, "If you are an ordinary Taoist priest, how can you carry a weapon?" ”

That's right, the spy Huo Ran captured by the soldiers was a group of Taoist priests

。 There are four people in total, some large and some small.

The eldest Taoist should be the leader of the four, about forty years old, not tall, but unusually majestic, like a big wooden stake, walking vigorously, looking extremely stable. The other three didn't know if it was his apprentice, the oldest one was in his early twenties, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old, still a child.

Like the master, the three apprentices also seemed to be extremely energetic.

If they are wearing clean clothes.

All four of them were dressed in coarse sermon robes, covered with dust, and looked a little embarrassed.

However, the Taoist priest in his forties at the head was strange, even though his body was very dirty, his face looked like a flawless white wall, and it seemed to exude a moist light.

After the soldier finished speaking, the middle-aged Taoist priest in his forties snorted: "Junhou, in such a troubled world, although my generation is a monk, it is inevitable that he will walk in the turbid world again." Jackals are everywhere, and if you don't carry weapons, it's hard to move an inch. Moreover, these weapons can only be used for self-defense, and in the battle array, they have to rely on spears and halberds. Otherwise, you can take a look. ”

Before he finished speaking, and for some reason, the middle-aged Taoist priest's shoulders shrank, and the two soldiers holding him fell to the ground.

The Taoist priest came so quickly, he picked up a sword from the ground in an instant and stood in front of Sun Yuan.

At this time, Tang Wenxing's waist knife had already slashed in front of the man's forehead.

What a bull's nose, the last hair came first, and with a "dang" sound, the sword in his hand was sheathed. [Lots of good]

I don't know what method to use, Tang Wenxing's figure was actually taken forward by him and stumbled forward a few steps before it stabilized.

The soldiers were startled, and at the same time they shouted that they were about to rush in.

At this time, the Taoist priest handed the sword to Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan was also taken aback by this ghostly figure, this speed was similar to Fu Shan's. Moreover, looking at his gestures, I am afraid that his strength will be greater than that of Fu Qingzhu. If nothing else, this person must have martial arts, and he is already at the super-first-class level of Fu Shan

。

If this person wants to take his own life, he suddenly attacked just now, and he is afraid that he has been restrained.

He handed me the weapon to Sun Yuan, and if he showed favor like this, he might have some purpose. In any case, it should not be the enemy.

Sun Yuan shouted: "Stop." ”

The soldiers stopped, and Sun Yuan didn't take the sword, but only looked at the Taoist: "The Taoist is good at martial arts, but he doesn't know where it came from, and why he greeted a certain person in such a way, aren't you afraid of a certain thunderbolt and anger?" You don't need to take action in person, just give an order, and thousands of troops will trample you into pulp. ”

The man smiled: "Yingchuan Hou, Xiaodao is just a fist and foot that has been learned for thirty years, and he is just a power in the countryside, how can he compare to Sun Taichu, who has the courage of ten thousand people." Poor Wudang Xuan. ”

"Wudang Sect?" Sun Yuan was stunned by him, that's right, this Taoist named Xuxuan just shook the soup and asked the waist knife This move is clearly the borrowing force in the martial arts of the Wudang faction: "By the way, how do you know that I am Sun Yuan?" ”

"What Wudang Clan?" Xuan Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, nothing." Sun Yuan took the sword in his hand, looked at it, and returned it to Xuxuan: "Since he is a master of Wudang Mountain, it is naturally impossible to be a slave and a traitor, I think it is a misunderstanding." Come on, give the Void Xuan Dao Chief a seat. ”

Indeed, the Wudang faction is just made up by later generations of martial arts, and there is no Wudang faction in the world at all. There are a lot of palaces on Wudang Mountain, and there are even Buddhist temples, each of which is in its own way, and the Taoists only care about cultivating longevity, so they don't have the time to make these famous halls!

Even if it is martial arts, it is only used to strengthen the body, and it has nothing to do with the so-called rivers and lakes.

Xuxuan: "Don't dare, Poor Dao will stand and talk to Yingchuan Hou." I just heard your guards call you Hou Ye, and I saw that your soldiers were all fierce soldiers, and now in the entire Jianghuai region, except for the Ningxiang Army, where are there such strong soldiers, so I guessed it. ”

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Sun Yuan stood up, personally took a maza for Xuxuan to sit down, and ordered his subordinates to release Xuxuan's three apprentices.

In the end, he asked Xuxuan why he came to the barracks to inquire if he was Sun Yuan.

Hearing Sun Yuan talk about business, Xu Xuan said solemnly: "Poor Dao just came from Xuzhou, and halfway through, I saw a large group of cavalry stationed here, and they were all strange costumes, that is, they were not Ming soldiers or non-slaves, let alone the righteous army of Shandong, I thought it should be the Ningxiang iron cavalry who came to attack Xuzhou."

。 I came to ask to see him, and I was willing to tell the Hou Ye about Xuzhou. ”

See, in such a way?

Sun Yuan already had a vague feeling in his heart, just now Xuxuan showed his hand in front of him, this is to attract his own attention, and he has the heart to pay attention. Perhaps, this Taoist really has other purposes, otherwise he can ask for a meeting generously, and there is no need to hide his head and show his tail.

However, since he was willing to tell Xuzhou City about the reality of Xuzhou City, Sun Yuan also felt a burst of joy and hurriedly gave up his hand: "I have a headache how to find out the reality of Xuzhou, and I would like to ask the Taoist chief to tell me, I would like to be grateful." How many defenders are there in the city today, and who are the defenders of the enemy? ”

"By the way, I heard that there is a Jiannu of Niu Lu in the city, and there are hundreds of servants and auxiliaries, with a total strength of about 1,000 people, really?"

Xuxuan shook his head: "Not really, that was a thing of the past, and now the strength of the Qing army in Xuzhou is more than three hundred." ”

"More than three hundred, how many?"

Xuan Xuan stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred?"

"No, it's five thousand, and it's all the main soldiers." Xuan Xuan replied.

"Five thousand?" Sun Yuan was taken aback, this is not easy to deal with. If 5,000 men and horses close the gate of Xuzhou and defend it, if they want to enter it, they will not be able to do it without 20,000 horses. Moreover, there are only 2,000 cavalry under his command, and the cavalry cannot fly up the city wall and use it as infantry to attack the city, which is brute force.

Xuan Xuan nodded: "Yes, five thousand defenders, there are indeed a lot of people." However, Hou Ye doesn't have to worry, these 5,000 men and horses are all Han soldiers, and the former Jiannu of Niu Lu has already gone to Yangzhou with Duoduo. Look at Hou Ye, you rode lightly to Xu, and if you want to come to Yangzhou, the battle has ended, and the Ningxiang army will win an unprecedented victory. ”

"Nonsense, my Ningxiang army is out of the horse, and no enemy can take it." Fang Cai snacked him a little loss, Tang Wenxing was embarrassed, and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, not only Duoduo, but even Azig was completely wiped out by my Ningxiang army. The entire Manchurian Eight Banners have been wiped out. ”

"I can't imagine that the main force of the Eight Banners of Jiannu has been completely wiped out by Hou Ye!" Xu Xuan was already mentally prepared when he saw Sun Yuan's hurried march to Xuzhou, but after hearing the true news, he was still taken aback, and his face was full of excitement: "That is, who in this world can be the opponent of the Ningxiang Army, and what is the strong city that the Ningxiang Army can't open, Xiaodao doesn't need to worry."

。 However, it is also good to know yourself and your opponent, win all battles, and make more preparations before the war. ”

Sun Yuan nodded: "What the Taoist chief said is that the enemy has so many more people at once, it is indeed an accident." We can't take the Han army too lightly, in fact, today's traitor army can still fight. You can't still treat them as the original nine-sided town army, and expect the enemy to be lenient! Void Xuan Dao Chief, please continue. What is the specific situation of the enemy, how many main soldiers, how many auxiliaries, how many people, how much equipment are there for these 5,000 Han army banner soldiers, and who are their commanders? ”

Xuxuan said to Sun Yuan: "After the authentic Liaodong Jianzhou army was transferred south to Yangzhou, Jiannu sent a person named Li Shutai to Xuzhou to guard it. ”

"Li Shutai?" Sun Yuan frowned: "Is it the Li Tai rate who killed Zhao Yingyuan in the first place?" ”

"It's that person, I heard this person is a strong general." Xuan Xuan replied.

Sun Yuan: "Judging from his performance in winning Zhao Yingyuan, this person is not only brave, but also a cautious person with a lot of wisdom. The cavalry he thought of was running thousands of miles, and the plan to go down to Xuzhou without a fight seemed to be not so easy.

Xuanxu: "Poor Dao doesn't know this Li Taiyu, and he doesn't know what kind of person this is. However, with his performance when he was in Xuzhou, he was also a difficult person to deal with. Of the 5,000 men of the Li Division, 3,000 were the main force and 2,000 were auxiliaries. After entering Xuzhou, tens of thousands of people were recruited, and they were also in good order. The defense of Xuzhou City was extremely tight, and the entry and exit of the city were very strict. As soon as it gets dark, the gate is closed and opened at dawn. At night, there are soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, not to mention impregnable, but it is also a headache. ”

"Moreover, the Marquis of Yingchuan is very prestigious. If you go to Xuzhou with great fanfare, I am afraid that as soon as Li Taishuai sees so many iron horsemen under your command, he must know that the war in Yangzhou has changed greatly, and he is afraid of Hou Ye's heavenly might. It is inevitable to guard the city gate and not come out, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the Ningxiang Army Iron Cavalry to open the city gate. Lao Dao said eloquently: "In the past few days, the poor road has been in the city, and the city defense of Xuzhou is also very clear. Xuzhou has a complete city defense, not only the outer city, but also the inner city, the urn city and all kinds of city defense facilities. Not to mention two thousand cavalry. Even if another 10,000 come and surround the city, you won't be able to take it for three or four months. Don't forget, the grain in Xuzhou City is piled up, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. Manpower and material resources are inexhaustible. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone changed color at the same time.

Indeed, the cavalry simply could not storm the city. In the battle of Yongcheng that year, the cavalry of the Ningxiang Army could only be spectators on the side, and Ma Shiying was the main attacker, but as a result, a small Yongcheng was beaten with rivers of blood and corpses

。

This time, if the Qing army is determined to defend it, even if the main force of the Ningxiang army comes, it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months to use artillery bombardment and earthwork.

This time Xuzhou must be taken in the shortest possible time, otherwise, if the Zhun Tower of Huai'an knows that Yangzhou Duoduo's entire army has been destroyed, he will definitely retreat towards Xuzhou desperately. At that time, Sun Yuan was a complete failure in strategy.

In distress, Lao Dao took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan was stunned: "What is this?" ”

Xuan Xuan smiled: "Marquis Yingchuan will know at a glance. ”

Tang Wenxing hurriedly held a torch to shine over, and looked at it, but it was a piece of paper full of words, on which in addition to someone's signature, there were also many handprints.

"This is ......" Sun Yuan couldn't help but open his mouth wide and took a breath of cold air.

Xuxuan: "This is Xie Qian's alliance to contact the rebel armies to besiege Xuzhou, a total of eleven, with a total strength of 100,000. The families agreed to open Xuzhou on the 5th of this month, kill all the traitors and lackeys in the city, and take the assets for their own use. ”

"Ahh Several of the generals of the cavalry corps shouted in low voices.

100,000 righteous troops besieged Xuzhou, so generous, this is simply the Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin" fighting the Daimyo Mansion and Jiangzhou. It's just that "Water Margin" is a romance, but these Shandong rebels want to turn it into reality.

What kind of place is Xuzhou, but the daimyos, Jiangzhou, and Gaotang in "Water Margin" can be compared with it. Since ancient times, it is said that those who get Xuzhou get the Central Plains, and those who get the Central Plains get the world. In all dynasties, if a dynasty wants to sweep the world, it is inevitable that it will have an unprecedented battle with the old forces in Xuzhou.

For example, the Battle of Chu and Han, as well as the Battle of Huaihai in the 20th century, some people call it the Battle of Xu Beng.

As a key point in the Central Plains, Xuzhou's city defense can not be described as unfortunate. Not to mention these rabble-like rebels, even if they want to attack the regular army in Yangzhou Town, they must weigh and make perfect pre-war preparations.

If you guess correctly, although these rebel armies in Shandong claim to be 100,000, it is estimated that more than half of them are women, children and children, and their combat effectiveness is only afraid that they are not as good as Xiao Yuanying, who fought against Sun Yuan in Ma Muji.

Are these people crazy, touching eggs with stones?
