830 Raid on the city

Feng Ji thought that Zhou Shaoyu would have more troops than herself, but she didn't expect that there would be so many more. Of course, in fact, the real strength is only 30,000 people, and the rest are all ordinary young and strong, and because there are a lot of one-time conscriptions, many people have not even been issued decent weapons.

But it doesn't matter, I don't expect them to actually go to war. If it gets to the point where even they have to take action, the situation must be a bit miserable.

Anyway, it is pieced together, on the surface, it does seem that there are enough 60,000 troops, just looking at it makes people sit on wax, after all, the strength of the Tan Wangfu is there, and it is not easy to transfer troops, in fact, if it is concentrated, it is still very fought, but the problem is really a bit scattered, and even most of it is contained.

Jianchu County was besieged, rescue or not, and the subordinate officials of the entire palace were already in an uproar.

Some people think that it should be saved, the high walls of Jianchu County are thick, and they only need to send a few troops into the city, they can be impregnable, if they are left alone, once the city falls, the enemy army has the advantage of threatening the city at any time. After all, the county seat of Jianchu County is located, and the distance from the capital city is not far away. And if you don't save yourself when you see death, it will inevitably chill your subordinates.

Similarly, some people think that it can't be saved, and now the city plus the royal guards, there are only 10,000 horses left, if it is transferred again, it is bound to be empty in defense, and it is likely to be surrounded and sent to help, in this way, it is really worth the loss, you know, the other party has the existence of cavalry. Even if there are not many of them, even if they send reinforcements to Jianchu County, they will not send much, and they will be easily eaten.

The public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother said that the mother is reasonable, this kind of argument also makes Feng Ji a little undecided, all along, Feng Ji is actively preparing to accumulate her own strength, even if she is forced to take the initiative to attack Xingwu County this time, the timing is still early, but even so, Feng Ji also thinks that the victory or defeat is at least between five and five, but I never thought that the enemy army did not move, but it was like a stormy wave, and it was completely suppressed as soon as it was shot.

Feng Ji couldn't help but put her eyes on Qin Yiliu, who was contemplating. There are not many generals in the Tanwangfu family, otherwise they would not have tried their best to win over the lonely generals of the Qin family, but most of the generals under him were overwhelmed, and even the training was poor.

And Qin Yiliu was the first of the Qin family to agree to be willing to serve the Tan Palace, considering that she did have some ability, Feng Ji made an exception to use her as a female general, but Rao is so, she still doesn't dare to let go of too much power, this is not Chenghuizhou, really make a woman to go out to lead troops to fight, and the opposition can crush people.

In addition, it is also because Sun Caiwei needs to go undercover, if Qin Yiliu is too modest, it will inevitably be suspicious, but it doesn't matter now, it's already started, isn't it, and Sun Caiwei can't get more information from Wu County.

"I think that Jianchu County should be saved." Qin Yiliu did not claim to be a concubine, now it is a matter of discussion, and the self-proclaimed subordinates are more in line with the current scene. One sentence made his position clear, and then, he said amazingly: "Not only should it be saved, but also heavy troops should be sent to save it!" ”

"What? You are the way to die! How can there be heavy troops to be sent in the entire Fucheng, do you want to make the defense of the Fucheng empty? Someone immediately retorted.

Feng Ji decisively raised her palm to block the subordinate officials of the palace who still wanted to distinguish, and then turned her head to look at Qin Yiliu again, and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

"In the land of Tanzhou, there are only two strong cities, one is the capital city, and the other is the county seat of Jianchu County, and the distance between the two is very close. Qin Yiliu began to analyze. "If Jianwu County is subordinated, the troops of Fucheng will inevitably be contained, and the troops of Xingwu County can only fight alone, with the current power of the enemy's army, the soldiers of Xingwu County will be defeated in the end!"

Hearing this, Feng Ji nodded, what she said was reasonable, and it was also what Feng Ji was worried about.

"The army of Chenghui Prefecture seems to be strong, but the actual strength is the same as that of my Tanzhou, and the reason why they can play such a powerful role is because they have made reasonable use of the conscription of young and strong, so that they can easily liberate the real combat power. If they can do it, why can't we? Qin Yiliu put forward his own idea.

"Then you mean that we can also recruit strong men on the spot, and then free up our combat strength to rescue Jianchu County?" Combined with Qin Yiliu's statement earlier, Feng Ji asked.

"That's right, don't forget, we are the defensive side at this time, as everyone knows, ten times the enemy can besiege the city, and it is an advantage to defend. Fighting in the field against the enemy, depending on the troops, morale, and whether the elite is or not, the recruited young and strong are not suitable to be directly pulled to the battlefield, but if they are just defending the city, they can also exert the corresponding combat power.

The palace guards three thousand, but the palace is not a place for the high wall to consolidate, if necessary, it is bound to only participate in the defense of the city, in this case, if it is not directly sent to defend the city, plus the recruited strong men, and the remaining regular troops, the defense is enough, the big can be transferred to 4,000 troops to Jianchu County, the number of vanguard troops in Jianchu County is not much, with 4,000 people, even if you want to encircle the point to help, you have to estimate the price paid.

Subsequently, Jianchu County was also recruited on the spot, so that the young and strong who went out to be temporarily recruited, whether it was Fucheng or Jianchu County, had 6,000 regular soldiers and horses available for deployment (plus the local defense of Jianchu County), considering that a part of the regular army must be left to participate in the defense of the city, then the actual number of troops that could be deployed in the two cities was 4,000. In this way, you can deal with all possible changes, instead of being trapped in the city and unable to move. ”

I have to say that this kind of method can be regarded as a gourd to draw a scoop, there is indeed some truth, whether it is a city or a county, it is one of the best cities in Tanzhou, if it is forcibly recruited, tens of thousands of people are not a problem, but it is not so much, it is enough to recruit 10,000 separately for the time being, and it can be determined according to the situation.

It's a pity that Xingwu County can't do this.

After the scourge of the Xingwu Army, most of the original people of Xingwu County have been forced to leave, Xingwu County has almost become a dead city, and most of the people of Xingwu County have gone to Wu County, and then received relief from Shanhuai Pavilion.

It was not until Xingwu County was occupied by Zhou Shaoyu that most of the people were able to return home, and in addition, a large number of displaced people were resettled, and Xingwu County was redeveloped.

It's just that under such circumstances, it would be good if most of the local people didn't organize a rebellion, let alone accept the draft, and they wouldn't be afraid that the people would collectively rebel against the water at that time?

After thinking about it a few times, Feng Ji decided to adopt Qin Yiliu's opinion, but in fact, she didn't have a choice, if she didn't do so, she would be too passive. And the main general is ......

Looking at the generals who suddenly quieted down, Feng Ji sneered in her heart, and decisively and resolutely appointed Qin Yiliu as the commander and led the troops to Jianchu County. Although the person is a daughter, at least, she has the talent to command the army, and she is more able to trust, change the past, and surrender when she sees that the situation is wrong, so how can you fight.

Li Xiuning, who was stationed in the distance of Jianchu County, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he learned that the scout had come to report.

"Four thousand? Haha, it's really exciting, in two days, and let's see how you react! "Li Xiuning is in a wonderful mood, there is nothing more pleasant for her than war, and the feeling of calculating the enemy step by step is simply not too good." Now, let's look at Zhou Lang's ability. ”

Tanzhou has seven counties, Xingwu County is located in the southwest, Wu County to the east, and Xuefeng County to the north.

To the east of Xuefeng County, to the north of Wu County, it is Hengwu County, and to the northeast of Hengwu County, it is Jianchu County. To the north of Xuefeng County, it is Shishan County, between Shishan County and Jianchu County, it is the boundary of Fucheng, and north of Fucheng, it is Yueling County.

Yueling County has a lot of water, a large lake, and eventually leads directly to the Yangtze River.

This place is also a place where water bandits are rampant, the government can not clear it, can only let it go, and the nearest water army, is also subordinate to the Zhennan General Mansion Sun Shouren, located in Jingzhou Hantang County, but obviously Sun Shouren does not attach importance to the water army, to this day, almost deserted.

It is also because of this that after Zhou Shaoyu let Zhou Mountain take the first water bandit camp, he began to gradually clear the local water bandits, one for training, and the other for collecting some ships and experienced sailors.

After that, Zhou Shan led the regular water army alone, but Yueling County still left some people to settle in the water village here. This matter is secret, and not many people know about it, let alone outsiders.

Standing on an island in the middle of the great lake, Wednesday Hill walked around a little impatiently.

This is also a restless guy, there is a war to fight, of course he doesn't want to be idle, but since the start of this battle, he has also done one thing, that is, three thousand people, including the navy, got on the boat and pulled here, as for what to do after that, Zhou Shan certainly knows, but the premise is to wait for Zhou Shaoyu to arrive.

"Send someone to the shore to ask, and find any trace of our cavalry." Wednesday Mountain couldn't help but point to another person, who was helpless, called out to three or two brothers, stepped on a sampan boat and staggered away.

After a short time, it came back!

"The three generals, here they are, the cavalry is coming, resting on the other side. The Major General had boarded the ship, and was behind him, and he came over as soon as he returned. Before he got closer, the sailor shouted excitedly, no way, no one else said, just him, he has been named five or six times in the past few days, and then he has to paddle the sampan boat to stagger.

Wednesday Shan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hold a banquet and receive it, and wash the dust for your young general." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Yueling County was peaceful, compared to the turmoil in the southern counties, the northernmost county seat in Tanzhou, there was no sense of urgency, after all, there were other counties in between.

When the hour came, the gates were opened, and at the only water gate, many ships of all sizes were waiting to enter the city.

The location of Yueling County, because of the convenient waterways, but the trade is developed, which is also the reason for the flood of water at the beginning, in fact, there are still a lot, after all, there are so many sailors under Zhou Shaoyu, it is impossible to clear them cleanly.

On all kinds of merchant ships, there were flags of various chambers of commerce or dart bureaus, all of them were familiar faces, and the guards yawned and did not have much vigilance at all.

Jiang Huaidong of the Huaiyuan Dart Bureau, well, is the one who bluffed Zhou Shaoyu with water and Liangshan when he just crossed over. At this moment, he is taking a group of brothers ashore to repair.

If the chaos has started today, the business of the dart game can be described as easy to do.

It's easy to do because there are more merchants who spend money to hire a dart bureau bodyguard, and it's not easy to do, so naturally bandits around the country began to run rampant, and many of them didn't want to die. It's also thanks to the fact that their dart game strength is not bad, otherwise they won't be able to run many darts, and they will have to die cleanly, Rao is so, in the past two years, many brothers have died.

"I don't know what happened to the Shuibo Liangshan in Tanzhou." Jiang Huaidong couldn't help but think. It's hard to forget this, not because I knew that I was tricked, but because the guy whose real name didn't know whether it was Zhou Shaoyu or Wu Yong was now the first talent in Daliang, and even the pastor of the state! In a high position, he envies others.

However, if others don't know, can he not know? This imperial court rewarded the state pastor, in fact, he is a thief at all!

Every time he thought of this, Jiang Huaidong sighed for a while, thinking to himself, if one day, this day really has to change color, then that Zhou Shaoyu is afraid that he will be the last thief who steals the country.

"Jiang Darttou, this trip is hard, it's a small meaning, it's not a tribute." The leader of the caravan came over and said with a smile, and took out a money bag in his hand, which was not low. Because the Huaiyuan Dart Bureau rarely escorted the waterway, he was originally a little worried, but the performance was very good, especially Jiang Huaidong's accurate archery skills, which directly shot the bandit leader of a wave of water bandits, and the caravan was safe.

"Be polite, it's all things that should be done, since you have collected the money, you naturally have to do your best to ensure the safety of the caravan." Jiang Huaidong is also not reserved, this kind of extra money is the most normal, of course, he has to share profits with his brothers when he goes back.

The two were talking, preparing to officially make an agreement on a long-term escort, but they didn't think about it, but they heard a loud shout.

"Siege! Nothing to do with the crowd and wait to lie down on the spot, otherwise you will be killed! ”

With the words, as soon as Jiang Huaidong turned his head, he saw a large number of soldiers rushing out of several merchant ships, holding sharp weapons in their hands, and directly slaughtering the city defense soldiers.

For a while, the scene was chaotic, and screams for help were everywhere.

No one will pay attention to the sentence lying on the spot, just instinctively, wanting to run away from this place.

However, I forgot that they were talking about siege, and no matter how much you run, you will still be in the city after all.

"Quick, get on board!" Jiang Huaidong immediately led the brothers to escort the gold lord onto the ship, and the boat was on the side, and it was also a defense.

Fortunately, the people ignored these ships at all, and were divided into two groups of people in an organized manner, one group went straight to the county government to attack, and the other group went towards the unwilling east city gate on the edge of the water gate, and the city defense soldiers who were attacked had no power to resist, and the city gate was occupied in an instant, and the next moment, hundreds of cavalry galloped into the city.

Jiang Huaidong's eyes were sharp, and he recognized it at a glance, that was the leading general, not Zhou Shaoyu or who?

"Hiss......" Jiang Huaidong gasped and whispered in his mouth: "Stealing the country, Zhou Shaoyu also!" ”
