Chapter 92 The beginning of the nightmare (2)

The raid first took place in Jiangzhou in the south.

On the morning of July 14, a team of Zhou soldiers patrolled in Beizhang Town, Jiangzhou at the foot of Luliang Mountain. Hundreds of people wearing brown farm clothes suddenly appeared from the surrounding fields and trees. After a round of rapid shooting, the team of twenty people fell down half. The leading deputy saw that the situation was not good, so he kicked the horse under him with force and quickly escaped from the ambush circle.

In panic, this man also deliberately concealed his mistakes in observing his mistakes. After returning, he exaggerated the number of enemies several times. Cheng Zhen, the deputy general who guarded Jiangzhou City, immediately sent 1,500 soldiers to this area to search and advance.

Just when these soldiers left Jiangzhou City and the military camp at the southern end of the city was basically pulled out, fifty masked strong men suddenly broke out from an empty house. Yang Ye took the lead. Although he was very young, he was extremely experienced in his actions. He flew in his hands and was invincible. He directly led people to the military camp and successfully rescued more than 300 soldiers who had surrendered before. Before the Later Zhou soldiers rushed out of the city wall to support him, they scattered into the empty houses all over the city.

Cheng Zhen was very angry after hearing the news and pulled soldiers from the city wall to conduct a large-scale search. Just after the soldiers gradually removed the city wall, Yang Ye led more than 500 Northern Han soldiers to appear from the unexpected Xicheng Gate of the defenders. He took the city gate with one charge and walked through the city. Before leaving, these Northern Han soldiers were crazy and killed all the injured Zhou soldiers, and built a small "jingguan" outside the Xicheng Gate with their heads and bodies, and then they hid in the north in a swagger.

In the evening, the 1,500 soldiers who went north to search for the enemy were exhausted and could not find the enemy. In the end, they had to return to the city slowly in a mess. However, when they were about to leave the mountainous area, they were drilled through the middle by a team of Northern Han cavalry who suddenly appeared. The team caught off guard and instantly lost dozens of soldiers. When these soldiers were curled up into a group and moved forward at a storm speed, hidden arrows still jumped out of the darkness from time to time. The sound of shocking clamors became the "soundtrack" that accompanied them back to the city.

He heard the bad news again and was furious and ordered all soldiers to take action. He searched the whole city overnight. He was killed whenever he saw it and would not leave any living mouths. At the same time, he sent a quick horse to report the news to Jinzhou.

However, what Chengzhen could not have imagined was that after the soldiers left the city, they ran along the northeast road, and they were tripped by several men in black on a narrow road with ropes. Several people tortured their confessions, and they dug out the contents of the report and the connection method, burning the letter.

Shortly after that, Yang Ye, who arrived at the Mama, scattered a group of elite troops along the west bank of the Fen River, and strictly ordered that anyone who reported the news on both sides of the Fen River should not be let go and completely blocked the external communication channels of Jiangzhou.

Compared with the raid in Jiangzhou, the raid in Northern Han in Cizhou to the west was very unhappy.

The raid of the hidden soldiers of the Northern Han also started with a patrol and search team that killed the enemy, and successfully lured a thousand defenders of the Later Zhou Dynasty. However, Duan Yanqing, deputy general of Cizhou City, was very cautious in using troops. He secretly sent another thousand soldiers to follow him. Two thousand soldiers responded one after another, and each team moved forward in a compact team. These soldiers rushed to a town at the foot of Luliang Mountain and stopped. This made nearly a thousand soldiers in the North Han who were ambushing secretly and were reluctant to take action.

While sending troops out of the city, Duan Yanqing immediately reclaimed the soldiers on the city wall and sent a thousand famous generals, Cizhou Governor's Mansion to surround a man with a mess, so that the soldiers of the Beihan who were preparing to raid in the chaos had to press down and remain unmoved.

Until the evening, two thousand soldiers sent from abroad joined forces and returned to the city leisurely. The soldiers of the Beihan who had been observing secretly had no choice but to stop and return without success.

Compared with these two wars, the hostile sides of Xizhou in the north have fought against each other, and each has the best of winning games.

The Later Zhou general guarding Xizhou was Guo Chongwei's capable subordinate. He was the general Cheng Fang. After Guo Chongwei's army withdrew, he ordered the 5,000 soldiers stationed on the border to retreat to the city of Xizhou. The two armies echoed each other. Three days later, Cheng Fang patroled the surrounding area of ​​Xizhou at a scale of 500 people per team. The distance between each team was not allowed to be separated by no more than five miles. This made the Northern Han recruitment envoy Liu Chengjun, who was intending to raid, grit his teeth, but did not dare to attack easily.

However, the bloody battle to defend the city for nearly four months had already trained the scholar-type prince to become a veteran on the battlefield. At noon on July 13, Liu Chengjun sent a few subordinates to escape to the north one after another, which eventually attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The garrison under the city sent a team of 500 people to pursue it. One hundred cavalrymen in the team suddenly accelerated and rushed along the north-south road, all the way to the border between the two countries. Then Zhe turned back and searched south.

Seeing that the road was blocked, the soldiers of North Han became panicked. After running around for a while, they all ran towards a peak of Dongshan.

The Zhou soldiers who were chasing the army strictly followed Cheng Fang's orders, and were not impatient. They were far behind these deserters, gathered the subsequent infantry and slowly pushed the deserters into a valley. Instead of entering the valley to pursue them, these Later Zhou soldiers gathered outside the valley, and several cavalrymen returned to the city to move their troops.

Cheng Fang, who received the news, sneered a few times and sent two cavalry teams and two infantry troops to advance to the valley. At the same time, he strictly ordered martial law inside and outside the city to be strictly enforced. Anyone who is not the army will be killed as long as it appears.

Xizhou City, which was already empty, seemed even more stern.

However, what Cheng Fang could not have imagined was that Liu Chengjun's so-called deserter was just a feint, and several dead soldiers from the Northern Han had already sneaked into the vicinity of the Xizhou prison in advance.

At dusk, these dead soldiers sneaked into the prison, knocked down the guards, and released nearly a thousand captured soldiers. The soldiers who had regained their freedom were not panic. According to the original plan, they pushed down a wall that looked very dilapidated, took out the swords, spears and weapons that were hidden in it when they were guarding the city, and then divided them into two teams, one east and one south. Under the cover of darkness, they raided the east and south city gates.

At the East City Gate, when the Beihan soldiers who escaped from danger successfully rushed out of the city gate, they were completely surrounded by two cavalry teams. It turned out that the two cavalry teams sent by Cheng Fang were originally playing a game of chess, just to rely on their mobility to guard against unexpected events.

The besieged soldiers of Beihan wanted to turn back to the city, but found that the city gate had been blocked by the soldiers of Houzhou. The nearly 500 soldiers of Beihan who were blocked were immediately divided into two teams, one team formed a simple formation to resist the cavalry. The remaining soldiers of Houzhou rushed straight to the city gate, fought together and started fighting in silence.

The Beihan soldiers who successfully rushed out of the south gate ran to the agreed location in the southeast of Xizhou City, but did not find the separated brothers. After a long time, a few brothers covered in blood rushed over and said that they were surrounded after leaving the city and were almost wiped out.

These people waited until dawn was approaching, but they had to leave until the other three injured brothers with great destiny, and sneaked into the guerrilla base they had already decided on in the morning, Luliang Mountain.

On the evening of July 14th, a young man wearing a businessman's clothing and carrying a small bag whistled all the way, and appeared at the peak of Xiaoxitian in the middle of Luliang Mountain with an extremely leisurely expression. He walked to a few big stones, suddenly stopped, and laughed loudly, "Come out, I've discovered you a long time ago."
