No matter how the left army outside the city shouted, Qin Mu just ignored it, and it was all a group of mad dogs barking outside the city.

The general who commanded the five thousand forwards under the city was called Wang Yuncheng, who was the general of Qizhou, Zuo Liangyu retreated from Xiangyang to Jiujiang on the way, Wang Yuncheng attached to Zuo Liangyu, looted a lot, he and the deputy general Yan Mao broke Jiande, robbed Chiyang, went to Wuhu forty miles, docked the boat in Sanshan, Digang, Cao ship salt ship to seize the army, killed countless people, the murder was known far and near, the two were called "Hades" by the left army.

Chongzhen ordered Zuo Liangyu to punish Wang Yuncheng, but Zuo Liangyu turned a deaf ear and shielded himself in the army.

Now Lu Daqi's subordinates have no soldiers available, so they can only rely on Zuo Liangyu, and they dare not punish Wang Yuncheng even more, which makes Wang Yuncheng even more fearless;

Along the way to the south, the soldiers and people of Tuzhou County ran and avoided, fearing like tigers, and the local officials dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they were insulted and whipped if they were not satisfied.

How could Wang Yuncheng have ever been ignored like this? It's a pity that his 5,000 men and horses came in a hurry, and he didn't carry siege equipment, so he couldn't do it immediately.

But Wang Yuncheng couldn't swallow this evil breath, he ordered the army to cut down trees immediately, rush to make ladders, siege vehicles and other equipment, and prepare to attack the city with all his might early tomorrow morning, and secretly swore that when the city was broken, the Ganzhou soldiers in the city would be slaughtered.

However, the next day, when Wang Yuncheng built siege equipment and set up a formation outside the city to prepare for the siege, he suddenly received a report from Tanma, saying that Zhang Xianzhong's forward men and horses were less than 20 miles away from Yuanzhou, and the number of enemy troops was twice as large as him, with an army of 10,000, led by the rebel general Hu Yansan, who was killing Yuanzhou non-stop.

Now Wang Yuncheng is in trouble, continue to attack Yuanzhou, it is estimated that before you take Yuanzhou, Hu Yansan's army will be killed, which is no different from looking for death.

If you don't attack the city. The rest is nothing more than two choices, one, fight with Hu Yan's 310,000 rebels first; Second, withdraw the troops and let Hu Yansan come to clean up the Ganzhou soldiers in the city first.

But the problem is that the time has dragged on for a long time, and Lu Daqi has arrived with a large army, and at that time Yuanzhou will not be his Wang Yuncheng's. Although Yuanzhou is not as prosperous as Nanchang, it is the gateway to the right side of the river, and there are still a lot of good things in it. I came exhausted, but Zuihou couldn't swallow the benefits. I'm really unwilling.

Qin Mu stood on the city tower and looked at the Zuo army who was in retreat, and spit out a citrus core comfortably, just like a son-in-law standing in the attic watching a big play. He said leisurely: "Guess what, Wang Yuncheng is retiring from the army? Or a retreat? ”

"Haha, Lord Ha, I guess Wang Yuncheng is still a retirement in addition to retiring from the army." Huo Sheng swallowed the whole citrus in one gulp, and he swallowed it without swallowing, "My lord, why don't you wait for Wang Yuncheng to withdraw from the army, let the last general go out of the city to chase and kill for a while." Kill him with a fart and pee, I think he's still arrogant. ”

"If the skin is itchy, rub the root of the wall." Qin Mu said angrily, "Don't forget your identity, we are also officers and soldiers." How can officers and soldiers fight officers and soldiers? Unless someone hits us first, understand? ”

"My lord, these turtle grandsons have already released arrows to us yesterday, isn't this still beating us?"

"Huo Sheng. How can you be so rat-bellied? People put a few arrows to play, how can you remember this overnight feud? The official remembered that Han Shanzi once asked the monk: There are slanders and deceptions in the world. Insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, lie to me, how to deal with it? He said: Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, respect him, ignore him, and after ten years, you will look at him! Listen, what a broad mind, Huo Sheng, are you a little ashamed now? ”

"My lord, the last general is very ashamed, extremely ashamed."

The two of them replied to each other, which made Liu Meng, Su Jin and others overwhelmed, and they rolled their eyes one by one.

However, Wang Yuncheng's reaction was somewhat unexpected, he did not lead his troops to flee away, but withdrew to the east of the city to dig a trench, rebuild the wall, and further strengthen the temporary camp that was hastily built yesterday.

When Wang Yuncheng's camp was almost fiddled, Hu Yansan also killed 10,000 rebels.

10,000 horses doesn't sound like much, but it's another thing to see intuitively, Qin Mu stood on the city tower, and could feel a slight vibration at the head of the city, only to see that the west was like a huge torrent, constantly surging, and the smoke and dust brought up were straight into the air, one by one, flags, rows of knives and guns, as if the thorny jungle grew on the earth, the army had not yet arrived, and the noise had already come.

10,000 horses and horses are still so magnificent, if it is 200,000, wouldn't it be a black cloud that wants to destroy the city?

No wonder where Zhang Xianzhong's army passed, the officers and soldiers of Huguang surrendered and fled!

I didn't see the scene of the surging army like a monstrous torrent, everyone will scold the officers and soldiers for not resisting is cowardly, which is somewhat a suspicion of standing and talking without backache, when you really face this monstrous torrent, it is estimated that most people's first thought is: escape!

Although Hu Yansan's status in Zhang Xianzhong's army is not as good as that of Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, and Ai Nengqi, the four major generals, he is also highly valued by Zhang Xianzhong because of his bravery.

Zhang Qi's 20,000 strikers were annihilated by Qin Mu, and the rebels who fled back described Qin Mu as three heads and six arms, extremely fierce, and the 2,000 Ganzhou army was even called the "Demon Army", killing people without blinking, eating people without spitting out bones.

Hu Yansan scoffed at this, and the defeated army did not describe the enemy as stronger, wouldn't it seem that he was very incompetent? He didn't believe how powerful Qin Mu was, but thought that Zhang Qi was too incompetent.

He had already figured out that Qin Mu was now only more than a thousand people in Yuanzhou City, and Hu Yansan didn't pay much attention to this amount of troops, he only left two thousand men and horses to guard Qin Mu. Then he immediately waved his army to attack Wang Yuncheng's camp.

Hu Yansan just did what he said, without the slightest style of dragging mud and water, Qin Mu couldn't help but be impressed, looking at the eight thousand rebels rushing towards Wang Yuncheng's camp like a tide, he also sighed without illness: "Damn, we are despised." ”

Liu Meng replied with difficulty: "That means that the Jingguan we built is not tall enough." ”

"Okay, build high next time."

"If you can put Zhang Xianzhong's head on the top of Jingguan, the effect will definitely be good."

Qin Mu and the others looked relaxed, chatting and farting while watching the two armies outside the city fight, enjoying the fun of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Wang Yuncheng's camp is five miles away from the city, and you can roughly see the situation over there when you stand at the head of the city, but the vision is somewhat blurry, Qin Mu changed the topic and sighed: "Damn, what a big show, but unfortunately I can't see it very really, why didn't I think of getting a telescope before?" ”

"Telescopes? What are you talking about? ”

"Don't ask, wait for me to get someone out, and then I'll send you one each."

As soon as Hu Yansan's rebels arrived, they didn't even set up camps, and immediately attacked, which was probably also unexpected by Wang Yuncheng, his 5,000 men and horses were tired and tired of repairing the camp, and they had just finished their work, and they thought they could take a break, but they didn't expect Hu Yansan's killing to even wait and see, so that he could only rush to meet the battle.

From a distance of five miles, the person was already as small as an ant, and there was no blood-splattered sight. But I saw a rain of arrows rising in the sky from time to time, densely packed like flocks of birds and finches flying over the sky, and bursts of shouts and killings came with the wind, like raging waves constantly crashing against the cliff in the distance.

Eight thousand rebels flocked to Wang Yuncheng's camp one after another, as if they might break the short camp at any time, the more Qin Mu looked at it, the more he regretted that he didn't get the binoculars out earlier, and looked at the scene five miles away with the naked eye, although he was standing on a high place, it was still quite blurry, like scratching his boots, which made people uncomfortable.

After a full hour passed, Hu Yansan's rebels had not been able to break through Wang Yuncheng's camp, and seeing that it was time to arrive, he had to retreat, but despite this, he still did not seem to take the men and horses in Qin Mucheng in his eyes, so he retreated from a mile south of the city to the west.

It's no wonder that if Qin Mu dared to go out of the city, he would have already fought when the two armies fought just now, at least Hu Yansan thought so.

Qin Mu stood at the head of the city and took a closer look, Hu Yansan's losses in this battle were not large, probably three or four hundred men and horses were missing, and Wang Yuncheng's casualties were about the same, because the morale of the retreating rebels was not very low, which showed that they did not suffer any big losses, on the contrary, they may have made a small profit.

Huo Sheng said suddenly: "My lord, if we go to attack the camp tonight and fight at night, we can see it, but the enemy can't see it, hehe, let's kill Wang Yuncheng and Hu Yansan in one go, wouldn't it be happy." ”

"Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Damn, both sides are overturned, you're cool, but Lao Tzu has become a street rat, is it worth it? War is just an extension of politics, you know? ”

"The last general is ashamed, extremely ashamed" (to be continued......)
