161 Anji County 2
Chapter
"What, one tenth, only such a little." The generals gathered around Lu Fang were suddenly in an uproar. Fan Nissen immediately came out to advise: "Encourt, this one tenth is too little. Even the autumn and summer taxes of the imperial court during the Taiping period were far more than this, and Qian Miao collected more than twice. According to the following, it would be better to leave them seeds and winter rations. Ci did not take charge of the troops!" After sending troops, Lu Fang appointed Fan Nissen as the financial officer of Moye's Right Capital, and all the money, grain and equipment were under his control. Sun Tzu said, "Any way of using troops is to rush to chariots, chariots, chariots, and chariots, and 100,000 armies, and feeding grains for thousands of miles, then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of rubber paint, and the chariots and armors are paid a thousand gold a day, and then the 100,000 army will be promoted." Since the establishment of Moye's Right Capital, the money will be paid for the money.
The silk flower was as sad as water, making Fan Ni Monk so worried. He finally arrived at the opponent's territory today, so he would not make a big fuss. As soon as Fan Ni Monk finished speaking, the generals nodded one by one, and looked deeply convinced. Wang Foer, who had the most righteousness under Lu Fang, stayed in Danyang. Now his subordinates are either "Cai Thief" who killed people in Yingye, or children of refugees who have been fighting for hundreds of battles in Huai. Fan Ni Monk's words are very good to their appetite. I don't know who interrupted and shouted: "Brother Fan is still a little soft-hearted, and there are still seeds of food left. In my opinion, they just robbed all the food. The village is flat, and the strong are incorporated into the army, driving away the old and weak, thinking that the front army is filling the moat in front to attack the city. Anyway, the enemy is now in great power, and we will not suffer any loss no matter whether we win or lose."
When Lu Fang heard the words of this gentleman, he was sweating coldly. After traveling to Huai, he robbed, kidnapped, and betrayed, and he was not a good man or a woman, but the idea of his men fighting was really speechless. Seeing their eager eyes staring at him and looking forward to ordering, Lu Fang couldn't help but wonder whether his subordinates were coming from an army or a bandit.
"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Fang shouted: "I am the governor of Huzhou appointed by the court. If you do this, the people of Huzhou will be mortal enemies with us. Besides, most of the food is in the field now. If you kidnap all the people and burn the houses, can you cut the grain by yourself? If we only have 10% of the people and only 10% of the people and leave the rest for the people, they will harvest it quickly so that they can start harvesting the remaining crops in the fields as soon as possible, and those left cannot be escaped. If not enough, you can collect them. Anyway, 10% is enough to support the army.
Food can also be recruited as hostages, making the villages left behind fearful. Moye is a guest army. Once the troops are strong under the city, the powerful forces of Huzhou in these villages are deeply rooted. If they start to cause trouble in the back, it will be troublesome." Lu Fang actually had a sense of intention in his heart. If he plundered in this way, it would be difficult to control his troops and would be easily seized by the enemy. Besides, if all the fields, houses and crops outside the city are destroyed, the local forces in Huzhou in the city are afraid that they will have no more scruples and they will lose the capital to negotiate with them. That would be very unwise.
Although the generals were still a little dissatisfied, the military orders were like mountains and had to bow and take the orders away. At this time, suddenly there was chaos in the hills. A probe rushed in. Before the people arrived, he shouted: "The former army is attacked, please send troops to support quickly."
After Lu Fang led his troops to break through the Snake Neck Pass, he followed the official road and rushed straight to Anji County. The vanguard walked more than ten miles to Li County. Ruoxi was located in front of Moye's right capital. Naruoxi was the largest river in Huzhou. The water quality was clear, and the "Ruoxiajiu" it brewed was even more famous. It was as famous as Wuchengjiu, both of which were famous wines in the south of the Yangtze River. The old bridge on Naruoxi was in the Dongchang Rebellion the year before, and Lu Fang retreated from Huzhou and burned the troops with a fire to block the pursuers. The war in Huzhou had just ended, and all the destruction was waiting for development. The government had no money to rebuild the new bridge. The bridge used now was just to build some wooden boards on the remaining bridge piles on the river channel and lay some straw. Walking on it was narrow and shaking, at most it was only three people in parallel. Moyedu's vanguard had just passed a hundred people, and he heard a shout from the upstream and saw two boats walking down the current.
Like a galloping horse, they came to the bridge. The soldiers crossing the river were suddenly in chaos and fled to the shore. Some even shot arrows and spears at the boats, but the boats were covered with cowhide and wooden boards, so they could shoot through. They saw seven or eight pairs of paddles on the boats, rowing like flying. But in a blink of an eye, the two boats hit the bridge piles. The bridge was built temporarily, and they could not withstand the impact of the fast ships. They fell into the water. They were all wearing armor and were swallowed by the turbulent stream. The more than a hundred people who crossed the boats first were isolated from Ruoxi. Although Ruoxi was called a stream, it was actually a river more than ten feet wide. The river in the south of the Yangtze River was rich in water, far from comparable to the northern rivers. In addition, the autumn water rises, the water flows on this section of the river is very turbulent and difficult to cross.
There was a drum sound on the other side, and hundreds of soldiers from the sea were lined up in a geese formation and killed more than a hundred people. It turned out that all this was the plan of Xu Wuji, deputy general of the Wuyongdu stationed in Anji County. He led 200 people out of the city, first planned to send thirty or fifty people to cross the river, then rush to break the bridge, and wiped it out in one fell swoop. Lions and rabbits were used to take their heads back to the city with all their strength to inspire the morale of the defenders. But unexpectedly, the enemy's crossing the river was too fast. After sending a signal to let the boats prepared upstream hit the broken bridge, the Moyedu army was afraid that there would be no more than 120 soldiers crossing the river.
Xu Wuji immediately drove his subordinates to attack the Moyedu army who crossed the first. He promised a generous reward, and he would reward five pieces of silk cloth at one head. When ordinary people encountered such white blades, they would often have dry mouths, their hands and feet were weak, and even ten percent of their martial arts could not be used. And those who came with him were elite soldiers in the Martial Dynasties, most of them were veterans who fought under Sun Ru during the Huainan Rebellion. They had been rolling on the knife edge for almost ten years. No one had ten or eight lives on their hands. After hearing the reward plaque, their eyes turned red and their mouths were making a sound, and they seemed very excited. Xu Wuji was secretly proud. With his two hundred people, even four or five hundred ordinary southern soldiers might not be able to match, but they were afraid that the hundred people on the opposite side could be killed in just one cup of tea. Thinking of this, Xu Wuji ordered the personal soldiers behind him loudly: "Beat the drum and advance."
The Moyedu soldiers who crossed the opposite side were only a hundred people, but the response was very fast. The soldiers immediately took off the large shield on their backs and shrank them into a ball. Each of them protected their companions on their left hand, and at the same time protected them by their companions on their right hand, forming a wall that was blocking them tightly. The soldiers of the Moyedu soldiers were like a frightened turtle, shrinking their hands, feet, and heads into their shells. The soldiers who were walking forward quickly could not see clearly what the enemy on the opposite side were doing. They could only see a gloomy shield wall. In the gaps of the shield, they could vaguely see a pair of shining eyes, calm and calm.
Xu Wuji has been under his uncle for nearly ten years and has rich experience in the battle. He first used his cleverness to split the enemy's formation from the terrain to obtain a favorable power comparison, forcing the enemy to watch himself destroy his companions within sight, but unable to rescue him. This not only can firmly shake the confidence of allies, but also a psychological blow to the enemy on the other side. This is very precious for the city defense battle that is about to begin in the future.
Looking at the soldiers who were pressing towards their opponents in front of him, Xu Wuji's mouth unconsciously raised up. Perhaps for his talent, his current position is too low. When his uncle returns to Hangzhou, his position should also be moved upward. Zhang Quanyi is not a farmer, and Li Hanzhi is just a fugitive monk. Now they are all Situ. Kaifu Yi is better than a high-ranking official like Sansi. Who said that he has no such high position in his destiny? Thinking of this, Xu Wuji waved his hand and asked the drummer behind him to beat the drums slowly, so that the soldiers could move forward slowly, so as not to waste their energy.
The two armies were only more than twenty steps apart. The experienced Zhenhai soldiers took a deep breath, held the weapons in their hands, and prepared to smash the most intense resistance. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded suddenly from the square formation that had been silent on the opposite side. The soldiers of Zhenhai soldiers had not figured out what was going on, but the soldiers on the opposite side suddenly ran forward a few steps, threw the short spear in their hands, and then pressed them up.
Zhen Haijun was caught off guard. At first, the opponent lined up a turtle formation, looking like he was beaten and waiting for reinforcements. To break through such formations, he would either attack the iron cavalry or attack with a dense formation. However, he did not expect that the opponent was at a disadvantage and dared to attack. He immediately caught a Taoer. More than a dozen people were hit by the spear. The spear was different from a crossbow. If he was covered with armor, sometimes he could still fight if he was hit by four or five arrows. But the spear was at least seriously injured after being hit by a spear. Although many soldiers were quick-eyed and quick-handed, they blocked the spear with rattan cards in their hands, but the spear was deeply embedded in the rattan card and could not be pulled out. A spear was stuck on the rattan card, and it was still waving. Many people had to throw down their shields and fight with their opponents without any restraint.
