Chapter 120

Zuo Liangyu and his army only rested overnight in Gucheng. The next day, after breakfast, the army went up the river.

However, Zuo Liangyu did not send elite cavalry to raid Baokang.

Instead, the cavalry was placed in the middle, and only more than a thousand heads were sent to explore the way, ten miles away from the army.

Qin Huan left last night.

With 400 young soldiers, 200 Pro guards just collected, and four bandit teams, they roared back to Baokang with torches.

As for Fangxian County, Niu Er was stationed with his 5000 troops.

At this time, Qin Huan was also a little flustered because the situation was too different from what he expected.

His original plan was that the eighth king would occupy the valley city and block Zuo Liangyu for at least a period of time, so there was no worry in the north for the time being.

The red warbler took people to garrison Baokang, training troops and guarding against possible reinforcements from Xiangyang.

He himself took Niu Er to attack Fang County and recruited troops to deal with the officials coming from Yunyang.

In his opinion, the officers and soldiers in Yunyang direction are definitely faster than Xiangyang, because Baokang and Fangxian are under the jurisdiction of Yunyang. After receiving the request for help, the governor of Yunyang will send troops to rescue at the first time.

Most of the soldiers came from Weisuo. After he defeated the Yunyang army, he turned back to pick up the reinforcements in Xiangyang.

After defeating the two armies, he stood still. At this time, Zuo Liangyu was not afraid of crossing the river to fight.

But he never thought that Zuo Liangyu's army was the first to attack, and it came so quickly.

After he attacked Fang County, even soldiers and horses had no time to recruit, let alone train. Compared with the two routes of officials in Xiangyang in the northeast and Yunyang in the northwest, Zuo Liangyu's army in the North threatened several times more.

First, Zuo Liangyu has been fighting for more than ten years. He has killed all kinds of anti thieves and has rich experience in battle.

Second, Gucheng goes upstream along the river. There is an avenue, and the terrain is far less complex than the other two roads.

It was more than a hundred miles from Fang county to Sancha estuary. Nearly 4000 people and horses moved forward lightly and arrived the next afternoon.

One by one was already exhausted and yawned. More than 3000 bandits and old thieves complained endlessly.

"You are back at last. Zuo Liangyu's army has set out this morning. There are not only cavalry, but also artillery..."

Seeing that Qin Huan finally arrived with his men and horses, the red warbler immediately clapped his horse and greeted him. He was surprised at their speed.

Qin Huan waved his hand, gasped, and looked at the fortifications they had built not far away.

The ten meter wide official road was completely blocked by stones and wood. It was at least two meters high. On the inside was a steep hillside and on the outside was a paddy field. It extended to the river for only about a mile.

Qin Huan gasped for breath after reading it. He couldn't help scolding: "dog day, Zuo Liangyu was very diligent this time. He didn't stop for a night."

"By the way, do you know how many troops they have?"

"This... There are so many people. Where can you count them? Anyway, there are more people than us, the team stretches for more than 20 miles, and a large number of soldiers and horses are left in the city. "

The red warbler was a little embarrassed, and then explained.

"At least give a rough figure?"

"There should be... There should be tens of thousands."

The red warbler thought and gave a rough figure.

"Thirty or forty thousand is tens of thousands, seventy or seventy thousand is tens of thousands, alas! Forget it, I'll see for myself when they come! "

Qin Huan was so angry that he turned his eyes and finally had to wave his hand.

I know I can't blame them. A group of women who don't know big words are used to keep them that night. When they can find out these news in time, they have burned Gao Xiang.

"Xiaohua Wang, are you sure to stop them?" The red warbler looked around secretly, then leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid it's not enough to block them. We have to defeat them. Otherwise, the officials and troops of Xiangyang and Yunyang will also come. We have no troops to stop them." Qin Huan looked dignified.

"So what? They have nearly a thousand elite cavalry, and all the troops have knives and guns. If you want to defeat them, you can only take the initiative. Can you win? "

The red warbler glanced back. The more than 3000 heroes who were paralyzed on the ground looked at the nearly 600 teenagers on one side. She really didn't know how to defeat Zuo Liangyu with this man and horse?

"Let's wait for two days first. Many of them are slow. They have to wait until the afternoon the day after tomorrow. You can take someone to make some anti horse stakes and put them in the field. There are more rolling logs and thunder stones on the hillside. I'll go to sleep first."

Qin Huan waved his hand. He was also not sure to defeat Zuo Liangyu, because Zuo Liangyu came so fast that he was not prepared.

According to the news that the red warbler came back, the other party's march was very cautious. It was very difficult and risky to ambush. If it was not good, you had to get in by yourself.

"Well, you have a rest first."

The red warbler nodded and continued to work with others.

But Qin Yu didn't sleep long before Qin Feng came with some young people. Qin Yu was not scared to death by the time difference.

"Qin Feng, why are you here? Is something wrong with the cottage? "

"Mountain... The stronghold is fine. Leader, more than 10000 troops came from Xiangyang three days ago and rushed to Nanzhang. Four days ago, Liu Guoneng returned to Nanzhang again with his men and horses. My wife was worried that she was coming to beat you, so she sent me down the path to report." Qin Feng gasped and hurriedly said.

"What? Xiangyang's army set out three days ago? How could it be so fast? This is fucking hell. "

Qin Huan was really in a hurry this time. It was less than half a month since Baokang was broken. The two armies of the imperial court were coming to the city. When were the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty so efficient?

"Xiaohua Wang, what's the matter? What happened again? " The red warbler also saw Qin Feng and hurried over.

Qin Huan didn't hide it from her.

After hearing this, the red warbler was also stunned, and then took a deep breath: "why don't I take the cavalry and cattle team and tiger team to stop the officers and soldiers in Xiangyang, and then support me when you defeat Zuo Liangyu?"

"This is a dead end for passive defense. Maybe Yunyang's officers and soldiers are on the way. At that time, we will be attacked on three sides. Our troops are too scattered to defend everywhere. In the end, we can't defend one side."

Qin Huan waved his hand and stopped her absurd suggestion.

If 800 teenagers have fire guns, and 1000 new teenagers also train several, and more than 3000 heroes obey him, he is also 50% sure to defeat Zuo Liangyu.

But those heroes fight alone. They are all good players. If they come together, they will become a mob, so they have no confidence at all.

Even he has no confidence to win Zuo Liangyu, not to mention Niu Er and Hong Ying can win the other two. I'm afraid the 1000 teenagers in Heishan stronghold have just practiced shooting and assassination.
