Chapter 264 Ambush
Wang Ji was quickly taken to the county government office. After the county magistrate Feng Xi learned of the situation, he sent for a doctor to treat Wang Ji and summoned the guards Liu Chong, Lu Guangzhi, and the county magistrate Miao Cheng.
The four people quickly gathered and sat down in the main room.
Feng Xi is thirty-eight years old this year. He has a white face and a long beard. He wears a blue cotton-padded jacket and looks elegant.
Miaocheng, the county magistrate, is an old official with gray hair, a haggard face, and a bit of a hunchback, but his eyes are very bright and he looks very shrewd.
Liu Chong and Lu Guangzhi were both military generals, with dignified looks, burly figures and quite imposing figures.
In fact, these Han captains are all quite capable.
Almost all the generals in Liaodong were wiped out. The Han people were not all incompetent, they just failed to stand out in the past. There were still some heroes among the millions of Han people in Liaodong.
Such as Zhang Bu, such as them.
It's just that they didn't take the right path, and obediently submitted to the Meng Yuan people and became their minions.
As for the incompetence of soldiers and horses, it is not their fault. It is just that they were recruited in a hurry and the training time was short, so their combat effectiveness is not high.
"I want to send troops to rescue Guyun City." Liu Chong stretched out his right hand and patted the coffee table hard, stood up suddenly, then looked at the other three people with tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice.
Liu Chong's reaction was as expected by the three of them.
"Brother Liu, your concern leads to chaos. There are more than 2,000 troops guarding Guyun City, the city walls are tall, and the supplies are sufficient. Even if Wu Nian is strong, it is impossible to gain the upper hand quickly. I think there is something wrong with this domestic slave.
.We might as well send spies to have a look ourselves and then make a decision."
Lu Guangzhi sighed, shook his head helplessly and said. The two guarded Shanguang City together and got to know each other. He admired Liu Chong's ability very much.
Liu Chong wielded a long-handled sword and galloped his horse, very bravely. But he was too impulsive. The eldest sister Liu was the wife of Linghu Zhi of Guyun County, and caring about her would lead to chaos.
Originally, their soldiers were not good enough. The two thousand captains' troops were still weak in guarding the city. Once half of them were missing, they would be in danger.
"That's right. General Liu, please don't be impulsive. What will happen to the city if you leave? What if Wu Nian builds the plank road openly, secretly visits Chencang, and attacks our Shanguang County?"
The county magistrate Feng Xi sighed and also advised.
"It's more than that. Wu Nian is full of tricks. What if he sets an ambush on the road?" County Prime Minister Miao Cheng's eyes flashed and he nodded in agreement.
"I've seen the slave's wound. The bones are deep. It's almost fatal. I also asked about the situation of Linghu's family, and he was able to answer it. There is no lie in this matter. If we send someone to inquire first
The situation comes back and forth for several days."
"Wu Nian is a ferocious man. He hates those of us who surrendered to the Mongolians to his core. Once the city is defeated, he will kill Linghu's whole family. It's too late, so I will collect the bodies."
Liu Chong's face turned red and he could not listen to a word of advice. After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"Come here, take that slave with you just in case. If it's fake, I'll kill him and order my troops to save Guyun City."
Although Liu Chongren left, his voice came back.
The three people in the main room all looked ugly. After looking at each other, they all sighed.
"General Lu, when he leaves, we are really in danger. Can you control him?" County Prime Minister Miao Cheng asked after thinking for a moment. His throat was really bitter, so he picked up the tea cup next to him and drank.
After a sip of tea, I felt better.
County Magistrate Feng Xi's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Guangzhi expectantly.
If Liu Chong can be controlled, his soldiers will not have to leave and the crisis will be resolved.
"I caught him by surprise and can control him. But what if his subordinates rebel? If there is civil strife, it will be even more dangerous." Lu Guangzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"There is nothing we can do. Let him go. His life is his, and so are our lives. My two lords. I'm going to inspect the city wall. You organize the people and recruit as many people as possible to prepare to defend the city.
"Lu Guangzhi stood up, hugged Feng Xi and Miao Cheng, stood up and left.
"Hey." Feng Xi looked disappointed and sighed.
"Okay." Miao Cheng nodded.
On the other side, Liu Chong's people took out Wang Ji, who had just been bandaged and drank medicine, and stuffed him into a carriage.
He himself took the soldiers and horses under his command and only a small amount of baggage, and headed for Guyun County.
Because we need to transport food, the snow on the road will be cleared regularly. The snow is not deep at present, so we can march and operate large vehicles.
"Brother-in-law, hold on, I'm here to save you." Liu Chong, who was wearing thick armor and riding a red war horse, looked up and looked ahead, showing an anxious look.
There was a mountain peak on the side of the road, halfway up the mountain. Three men dressed as hunters, carrying bows and knives, stood on the snow, watching Liu Chong's actions.
Their faces showed joy, and one of the black-faced men said with a smile: "The fish has taken the bait, let's take a small road and report it to the general."
"good."
The other two nodded in unison. The three of them walked through the thick snow and took a path.
It was Wu Nian's spy.
On a mountain peak, Wu Nian's camp is here.
There is no outer wall, and white tents that are very different from the color of the snow are standing in a scattered manner. In the nearby area, there are soldiers with bows on guard.
In the camp, there are also groups of soldiers patrolling. Soldiers who do not have tasks stay in tents to conserve their energy.
They didn't bring much food or supplies, such as quilts. In order not to attract attention, they didn't even light a fire.
When you are thirsty, you go to the nearby mountain stream to get cold water to drink. When you are hungry, you can only chew dry food. This situation is not good, and some soldiers are already infected and sick.
Wu Nian had no choice but to wait for the news.
Inside the tent, Wu Nian was sitting on the main seat wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and a bearskin cloak. He closed his eyes and remained motionless to conserve his energy.
Under such circumstances, he was a little overwhelmed.
The main reason is that dry food is as hard as ice cubes and difficult to bite. To conserve energy and calories and reduce consumption, you can eat less.
"Da da da."
There was a rush of footsteps. Wu Nian opened his eyes and saw Wang Gui walking in with a happy face and reported: "General, spies are here to report. More than a thousand soldiers and horses have left the city. The flag is [Liu]
.”
Wu Nian and Zhang Jin were far apart, so it was difficult to deliver the news. Wu Nian didn't know what Zhang Jin had done, but it didn't matter.
What he was waiting for was reinforcements.
"Let the spies continue to watch and prepare for an ambush. Eat them and attack Shanguang City." Wu Nian opened his eyes, the light was frightening, and he suddenly stood up and said.
Like a bear or tiger in hunting mode, it is extremely powerful.
"Yes." Wang Gui became energetic, responded, turned around and went down.
