Chapter 514

Dongguan county was originally the capital of Jiaozhi Dynasty, and most of it was destroyed in the invasion of Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

One morning passed, but the scouts still didn't come back.

Zhu gaoxu seemed a little anxious, and some wanted to lead troops to kill Zhenman house directly.

But Fang Xing is still calm and familiar with the situation.

"Didn't Dongguan County used to be a health center? Why are you the only ones left?"

Having nothing to do, Fang woke up and called Jin'an for questioning.

Jin'an looked at Zhu gaoxu, who was waving a whip on the side, and then said, "uncle, there was more than one guard station at first, but later all went to Zhenman mansion. Lord Huang and father-in-law Ma wanted to end the war quickly."

The longer the Jiaozhi war drags out, the more unfavorable it will be to Daming. As long as you are not a fool, you can see this.

Fang woke up and nodded. He was about to ask about the situation around him, but a burst of footsteps interrupted his thinking.

"Master, the little one was intercepted."

Fang Wu rushed in sweating all over and made up a gift after seeing Zhu gaoxu.

"But the rebels?"

Zhu gaoxu couldn't wait to ask. His big knife was already hungry and thirsty.

"It's a rebel, and it's more than 300 cavalry."

"Mu Sheng, damn it!"

Zhu gaoxu whipped on the table and shouted angrily, "send troops, send troops now!"

Fang Xinggang wanted to stop him, but his heart moved, so he let Zhu gaoxu do it.

More than 300 cavalry, which means that Mu Sheng's containment has failed.

Huang Fu said anxiously, "Lord, but what about Dongguan? If it's attacked secretly, a thousand households are afraid it won't work!"

Zhu gaoxu said impatiently, "the scouts have returned today. There are no enemy troops on either side, and our army will naturally go to the sentry during the March. Even if there are some missing fish, can they break through here? Send troops!"

When Ma Qi came in a hurry and heard that Zhu gaoxu wanted the whole army to start, he immediately said bitterly, "Lord, why don't you keep a guard horse."

"Coward! Goods without eggs!"

Zhu gaoxu opened Ma Qi's scar in front of the crowd, and then shouted, "let's go!"

Soon there was the sound of horses' hoofs outside. Huang Fu saw Ma Qi standing there blankly. His heart was soft, so he comforted: "Your Highness is impatient. Father-in-law Ma doesn't need to take it to heart."

From Huang Fu's point of view, Ma Qi's chin was shaking slightly, and his body was shaking.

Hey! Why are you doing this!

I told you that the Lord has a bad temper, but you have to touch the mold. You're lucky if you don't get whipped.

Bursts of footsteps went away. A small official rushed in and told him, "Sir, father Ma, his Highness the king of Han, the whole army has gone out of the city, leaving only one thousand households in the city."

Ma Qi's body turned to the side. Huang Fu saw that his body was still trembling slightly, so he said, "it's not far from Zhenman house. Two thousand households are guarded. Even if there is something strange, it's enough to help."

……

After the army left the city, relying on God's favor, the ground was still dry, so the marching speed was not slow.

At noon, the army rested and ate as usual.

Fang woke up and called the guide and asked, "when did Ma Qi take over the urban defense of Dongguan county?"

The guide said without hesitation: "uncle, just half a month ago, father Ma said he was worried about the enemy's sneak attack, so he quarreled with Lord Huang and the city defense changed hands."

"Fang Wu!"

Fang Xing's cry not only alerted Fang Wu, but also alerted Zhu gaoxu. Carrying the lunch box snatched from Fang Xing, he came over while eating and asked, "Fang Xing, but what's up?"

Fang Xing's face was frozen. "I want to see it, Lord."

After Fang Wu came, Fang Xing explained, "after the two men planed your meal, they set out with the scouts. Be fast, mainly the two wings."

Fang Wu quickly ate the cake, then shouted and took away hundreds of scouts, divided into two teams and dispersed.

Zhu gaoxu swallowed the fat pork and wondered, "Fang Xing, do you think the enemy dares to ambush us on both wings? You are too hasty and woody!"

Zhu Rong also felt that Fang Xing was a little nervous. He always threw scouts out. When he arrived at Zhenman house, these scouts didn't have a two-day rest. I'm afraid they can't go out again.

Relying on their friendship, Fang Zheng advised: "uncle, our army is marching in the open area all the way. No matter how brave the rebels are, they dare not sneak attack."

Fang Xing was a little anxious. After turning around a few times, he asked, "the scouts encountered more than 300 horses. This must be the scale of the main force of the rebels, right?"

Others nodded one after another. There were not many horses crossing their toes, and there were fewer rebel horses. If there could be more than 300 cavalry, it must be the main force of the rebels.

Fang Xing took out the map, pointed to the route and said, "last night, the scouts just rushed the road for three hours at night and calculated the distance."

Xin Laoqi said in a deep voice, "this road is not suitable for cavalry to drive at high speed. In addition, it is night. Fang Wu has traveled 50 miles at most."

"Fifty miles."

Fang Xing slowly looked at everyone: "fifty miles away, where are the cavalry now? Did they escape? Also, if the enemy broke through successfully, why didn't the Duke of Guizhou pursue and report?"

In fact, when it comes to fifty miles, everyone already knows what Fang Xing's anxiety is.

Zhu Rong said in a deep voice, "is it... That's impossible!"

Fang Zheng thought: "the lower officer thought, could it be that the enemy retreated after meeting our scouts?"

"That's a trap!"

Zhu gaoxu's eyes stared, "Fang Xing, are you worried that this is luring the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Exactly."

Fang Xing put the map away: "the key to this is the Duke of Guizhou. The main force of the enemy broke through. Why didn't he respond?"

"The number of rebels is more than 20000. It's impossible for the Duke of Guizhou not to know such a big news. Did the enemy chieftain break through the siege alone with cavalry?"

Zhu Rong felt that the situation was a little strange. For a moment, he couldn't think of the enemy's intention.

Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "if the cavalry fled alone, they would never dare to go from Zhenman prefecture to Jiaozhou Prefecture. After all, on this line, our scouts and baggage convoys travel frequently, and the probability of being found is very high."

What's that for?

Several people looked at Fang Xing. Zhu gaoxu's cheeks kept encouraging him. They wished Fang Xing would come to a conclusion right away.

After waking up and thinking for a while, Fang suddenly looked up and said, "there must be a mistake on the side of the Duke of Guizhou. I judge that there should be a gap!"

Zhu Rong was surprised. "Does the enemy want to attack Dongguan county from the path?"

Fang Zheng shivered and said, "if the Duke of Guizhou doesn't find any signs of the enemy breaking through, then all this makes sense."

Zhu gaoxu folded the whip and held it in his hand. He said calmly, "then they are deliberately intercepting Fang five, just to get our army out! Dongguan county is in danger!"

"The scouts are back!"

When Fang woke up and looked back, he saw the scouts in the distance running quickly.

Scouts must know how to cherish horsepower. Scouts who don't cherish horsepower will be killed by the enemy sooner or later.

Something's wrong!

Without hesitation, Zhu gaoxu shouted, "the whole army is assembled and set out at once!"

"Fang Xing, how long can your thousand households block it?"

When the two armies met, Zhu gaoxu completely changed. Although he would be angry, his decision was not affected by his emotions.

This is to completely put aside the Qianhu office in Jin'an and only calculate the combat effectiveness of Shen haoqianhu office.

Fang Xing gave the answer directly without calculation: "Lord, one hour, at most one hour. If the enemy ignores casualties, I dare not make any guarantee."
