Chapter 402 Two Ways

Li Ting stared at Gao Xin with wide eyes, and didn't speak for a while.

Qiu Huiluo held back a smile and asked, "How is this person?"

Li Ting put his hand on his chin, and answered the irrelevant question: "Old Wang has some skills, and he is quite accurate in judging people!"

"Haha, Lao Wang is naturally capable. Speaking of which, he was the first to spot our Jieshuai."

Qiu Huiluo responded, took two steps toward the stairs, and looked north from the window at the other end.In the night, people crowded around the shops, shipyards, docks and warehouses, and the lights flickered.Many people were startled by the fight on the other side of the river, and they came out to discuss.

Immediately, the drums in the military fort rumbled, and the soldiers lined up and rushed out of the military fort, and were divided into multiple places to suppress.The three links of drums stopped, and the originally noisy discussion field became silent, and every family closed their doors.It seems that Gao Xin also has a hand in governing the army.

"Let's go!"

Qiu Huiluo greeted Li Ting: "It's so easy to take down the Quechang military fort, how can we waste this opportunity? Let's transfer the army across the river and go to Zhucheng overnight?"

"good idea!"

Li Ting immediately stood up.

After taking two steps, he explained: "Recently, among the personal guards around Jieshuai, there have been a group of military school students. I think their actual experience in using soldiers is nothing more than that, but when it comes to the theory of the art of war, they are really different. Listen to Lao Wang He said, this Gao Xin also came out of the military academy, and I thought he was a man who talked about military affairs on paper..."

Qiu Huiluo couldn't help but laugh: "Let's not say that Gao Xin is a famous tycoon in Juzhou and Mizhou, and he has a lot of experience in fighting. Why are the military students used by Jieshuai talking about armies again? Li Erlang, you can talk later. Can you use your brain?"

Li Ting raised his head to the sky and let out a haha, and quickened his pace.

After walking a few steps, he said: "Give me an order, Gao Xin chooses the elite of his subordinates to follow the army. Let Hao Duan watch over here!"

As the fleet traveled back and forth across the strait, it only took an hour for Li Ting and Qiu Huiluo's [-] men to get through the water.

180 miles to the south of Zhanshui is the Zhucheng of Mizhou where Yang Aner has been running for a long time.

According to Gao Xin's introduction, this place was originally commanded by Yang An'er's confidant, the heavy general Guo Yao'er, and there were nearly [-] troops stationed there at most.

When the Red Coat Army first raised its troops, it relied on its hatred for the Jurchens.Later, after Shandong was controlled, some people became generals, golden mountains and silver seas, while others remained miserable leaders.Under the clear distinction, many of Guo Yaoer's subordinates in Mizhou had friendship with Gao Xin.

In addition, there is a sea merchant sent by Guo Ning named Zhou Keshan, who travels to and from Mizhou on a daily basis, with a lot of money, and secretly recruits a group of people.

With the joint efforts of the two, it can be said that Zhucheng has been penetrated like a sieve.

Unexpectedly, Yang An'er and Wanyan Heda fought endlessly afterwards, and repeatedly dispatched the elite of the headquarters, and all the combatants of Guo Yao'er's department were transferred to Pizhou two months ago, and they escorted the stored military supplies to support Huaishang battlefield.

Guo Yaoer's replacement in charge of Mizhou's defense was another general in the Red Coat Army named Yao Yun.

This Yao Yun was very wary of the trade between the Red Coat Army and the Ding Navy, and he had a team of his own, so he stopped staying in Zhucheng and set up a military camp on the bank of Lu River to the east of Zhucheng.

Li Ting and other troops did not take the official route, and followed Gao Xin cautiously through the low mountains and hills. After two days of marching, Shi Poli led the infantry and fell behind thirty miles, while the front cavalry approached Yao Yun's camp. barracks.

This Yao Yun was also a member of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army who followed Yang An'er to the northern border that day.And in his early years, he participated in the fierce battle with the Song people as the Pu Nian of the Jin Army.

Although he has no special reputation for bravery, he has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich combat experience.After Yang An'er suddenly rose up, he was the vanguard who attacked Dongping Mansion. Later, he also fought fiercely with the Henan Jin Army in Jeju.Li Ting and Qiu Huiluo did not despise him.

What's more, the soldiers set off from Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefectures, arrived in Jiaoxi after five days of marching, and then drove for two full days. Even if the men could persist, the horses were extremely tired. Power to speak of.So Li Ting did not disturb the defenders of the barracks, but Gao Xin found a hidden place in the mountains twenty miles away, and ordered the horse to be bitten, to have a good rest and to accumulate energy.

While the soldiers were resting, Li Ting, Qiu Huiluo, and Gao Xin discussed in the army and decided that after two hours, at dusk, Qiu Huiluo's troops would first detour around the ruins of Changcheng in the northeast of Zhucheng, pretending to be Attack the cities.

Yao Yun must lead his troops out to rescue, Li Ting intercepted them horizontally, and together with Qiu Huiluo, defeated his army.Afterwards, it is Gao Xin's task to contact Nei Ying to take down Zhucheng.Of course, if Yao Yun could be captured, it would be Spurley's task to find a way to persuade him to surrender.

The three of them discussed it, and each took the time to eat and rest.

Li Ting took a few bites of dry food, and with the last bite still in his mouth, he leaned back, leaned his head on the guard's stomach, and fell asleep.

In a short time, dusk gradually rose, beside him, occasionally someone snored, someone turned over, slapped himself in the face, drove away mosquitoes, and talked a few words in his sleep.As soon as he spoke loudly, the soldiers on duty in the team threw a small stone at his face at a distance of more than ten steps.

Those who were talking in their dreams shut up immediately, only the horses around them were chewing hay and panting.

It looks like everything is going well.After the soldiers regained their strength, Li Ting was fully confident about sending troops to attack.

But when the army moves, there will always be various accidents.

At this moment, the leader of the scouts galloped back and rolled off the saddle in a hurry.

He put his hand on Li Ting's shoulder, intending to shake his master to wake him up.Before he could exert any force, Li Ting suddenly opened his eyes, his body still, and his hand was on the handle of the knife: "What's wrong?"

"General, our scout cavalry collided with Yao Yun's patrolling soldiers."

The cavalry should rest, and they must not be defenseless on the periphery.Li Ting specially sent fine knights, together with Gao Xin's troops who are proficient in geography, patrolled in groups of ten riders.

When sending them out, Gao Xin also specially ordered that there are few people around here, if they bump into outsiders, it is very likely that they are outposts of the Red Coat Army, they must not hold back, they must be killed immediately, lest their own troops The trend is leaked.

But I never thought that today's luck is so bad.

After Yomo Yao Yun got the news of Yang An'er's death, he was worried that the situation would worsen, so he sent extra patrol soldiers, and put the patrol range to more than [-] miles outside the camp.

A group of scout cavalry under Li Ting was marching along the hilly valley. They were negligent for a while and never sent anyone up the mountain ridge to have a look.As a result, 50 people under Yao Yun's command patrolled on foot in a parallel valley separated by a mountain ridge.

Neither side knew about it until they walked to the Mishui River Beach at the end of the valley, only to discover the existence of the other side.

At present, the distance between the two sides is very close, and even the cavalry and cavalry are staggered. The scout cavalry has no time to draw their bows and arrows, so they directly draw their swords and ride their horses to charge and slash.The patrol soldiers of the Red Coat Army also fought vigorously.

The fierce battle ended in an instant. Three scout cavalrymen died, while five patrolmen of the Red Coat Army died.

The scouts tried to chase them down, but the woods were full of shrubs and vines, and it was inconvenient for the horses to move after entering. Instead, they were attacked by the red coat army, and another person was injured and a horse died.They had no choice but to hurry back and report to Li Ting.

Hearing this, Li Ting straightened up with a cold face.

"In the scout cavalry, has the brand leader who led the team returned?"

"Come back, just wait outside."

"What are you doing back here!" Li Ting cursed, and waved his hands, "Drag away, cut it off!"

The head of the brand is the old department that followed Li Ting for some time. Not long ago, he followed Li Ting to Liaodong, pretending to be Puxian Wannu's subordinates, and captured the South Gate of Xianping Mansion.

But in the army, there are generous rewards and severe punishments, so how can there be room for maneuver?With Li Ting's order, the left and right attendants ran out like wolves and tigers, immediately cut them off, and reported back with their heads.

At this time Qiu Huiluo and Gao Xin also arrived.

Qiu Huiluo asked a few words, then said in a deep voice: "The opportunity is fleeting, why not attack immediately."

Li Ting nodded and drew his sword in his hand: "Beat the drum!"
