Chapter 632 Capture the Holy Fort
On the troop platform, after Lingyun mobilized, the army quietly drove into Qitianling, heading south all the way to the vicinity of Tujia Fort.
In the army, Guo Yixiu found Ling Yun and pointed his right hand at Tujia Fort ahead, "Young Master Yun, less than two miles ahead is Tujia Fort Base Camp."
Ling Yun followed his hand, squinted his eyes and looked ahead.
Since fighting with Tujiabao, it is the first time that I have stood so close to Tujiabao Base Camp. At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes.
If the army set out all the way and the enemy soldiers of a Tujia Fort were missing, it might be understandable, but now they are close to the gate of Tujia Fort, and they only need to walk two more miles to enter the real Tujia Fort. But even so, there are still no traces of Tujia Fort guards nearby, which is reasonable and unreasonable.
Ling Yun frowned and frowned. Perhaps seeing the confusion in his eyes, Guo Yixiu hurriedly explained, "Master Yun, civil strife is happening in Tujia Fort, all the guards have withdrawn, so there is no trace of the enemy along the way."
Ling Yun was a little surprised and asked, "You mean, Tujiabao is facing each other now?"
Guo Yixiu replied, "That's right."
"According to our spies, three days ago, the 30,000 Tujia soldiers led by Yang Qinhai were fighting against the 20,000 Zhuang soldiers led by Pan Chengwen. Because the Tujia troops were strong, the Tujia soldiers led by Yang Qinhai were at the fortress. At the beginning, they did not agree with Yang Qinhai's small tribe as the fortress lord, because Yang Qinhai's strength was strong, so he had to bow his head. In this situation, Yang Qinhai only had to suppress the Zhuang tribe and ascend to the fortress lord."
He paused for a moment, showing a smile of success in the conspiracy, "However, Yang Qinhai was in a prosperous civil war, but he forgot that we were still in the Nanyi Army behind him. He is now besieging the Zhuang tribe and did not notice our arrival at all. According to the current situation, we only need to capture the Tujia Fort Base Camp. Yang Qinhai knew the news and would be in a hurry and could not take care of himself."
Ling Yun nodded repeatedly and thoughtfully, "Our army in the base camp was captured, and Yang Qinhai would definitely choose to withdraw his troops, otherwise the morale of the army would be unstable. If the Tu family wants to retreat, they will definitely be counterattacked by the Zhuang family. Before that, we can set up an ambush halfway, wait for him to withdraw, and then give him a head-on attack, forming a front-end and back-end attack with the Zhuang family. At that time, even if Yang Qinhai has the ability to dominate the sky, he will not be able to save the downward situation."
He looked up at Tujiabao and murmured to himself, "The base camp was taken away, the Tujia army must be unstable, just like a broken dog. Yang Qinhai, I see how you escape this time."
Yang Qinhai, the source of the war, all rose up because of this person. Therefore, Lingyun had no sympathy for this person, and secretly swears in his heart that as long as he could catch him, he would be defeated.
Guo Yixiu nodded and replied, "Young Master Yun, Commander Zhang and Miss are also thinking this way!"
Ling Yun thought about it and felt that although this strategy was good, there were loopholes. "It would be good to have such a strategy, but what if the Zhuang family and Tujia saw that the Holy Fort were captured by our army, the two families would abandon their past grudges, shake hands and talk to each other, and attack our army together, what would they do?"
The Holy Fort is the name of the Tujia Fort people's name for the palace that the castle owner lives in, and Ling Yun's concern is that the two families give up their grudges and jointly deal with foreign enemies, that is, they.
If this is the case, with their current military strength, it is probably difficult to support it. Moreover, the letter of help from the governor of Lingnan Wang Mingzhi a few days ago has not been responding to... There are not many crossbow arrows left, and when fighting, there is no crushing advantage, I can't help but feel a little worried.
Unexpectedly, when Guo Yixiu heard this, he did not show any worries, but instead smiled, became confident inexplicably. He even patted his chest in front of him and started a guarantee, "Young Master Yun, don't worry, it's impossible!"
"Why is this?"
Seeing that Guo Yixiu was so sure, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Guo Yixiu explained slowly, "Mr. Yun, according to the spies, the tribe headed by the Zhuang family did not want to have a conflict with our Nanyizhou. When the Tujia attacked our Nanyi army, the patriarchs led by the Zhuang family stopped them on the spot. Unfortunately, they were unable to convince the Tujia Fortress in the end."
Ling Yun thought for a moment, "According to your opinion, Tujiabao had a conflict with our Nanyizhou at the beginning, all because Yang Qinhai was alone and had nothing to do with the others?"
Guo Yixiu shook his head, "It's not all. It is said that there is a stranger in the fort. This stranger was saved by Yang Qinhai. It was because of this person that Yang Qinhai began to attack Liujia Village and even started a war with us."
stranger?
Ling Yun heard it at first and thoughtful. Perhaps the so-called stranger Guo Yixiu was Yang Buwei who had disappeared for a long time.
This dog official thought something was strange at the beginning and guessed that he might be hiding here. Now that he heard Guo Yixiu's words again, he was even more sure of his guess.
Without any worries, Ling Yun immediately ordered, "Since that's the case...Yi Xiu, please continue to command and capture Tujia Castle at the fastest speed at all costs."
"Yes, Master Yun!"
Guo Yixiu received the order and quickly retreated.
Ling Yun was still standing there, looking at the direction of Tujiabao. There were thirty-five people beside him. It was only after layers of tests and careful selection that he was able to stand here and serve as his personal guard.
The only shame is that Yang Sanniu is not here.
This is not because Yang Sanniu failed, but that the brat actually wanted to charge into the battle.
I vaguely remember that Yang Sanniu found him and said this.
"Young Master, please let Sanniu charge! Sanniu will definitely be able to fight for a general. By then, Sanniu will lead tens of thousands of people under his command and follow the young master. The scene is just like that, just thinking about it makes me feel majestic!"
Afterwards, Yang Sanniu became more and more determined in his ideas.
No matter how Ling Yun explained the dangers of the battlefield to him, he was still fearless.
Charging into battle, life and death are unpredictable. After all, it is to compete with the god of death, and accidentally... Alas! Yang Sanniu was brought out by Ling Yun from Annan and did not want him to be in danger of his life, but in the end, he still couldn't bear to refuse.
Because the main force of the Tu family was not present and the Holy Fort was insufficient, it could not withstand the attack of the Nanyi Army. In just half an hour, the Nanyi Army directly attacked, and then completely controlled the Holy Fort within an hour.
Ling Yun, led by Guo Yixiu, walked into the Holy Castle.
"Master Yun, this is what the people of Tujia Castle call the so-called holy castle in their eyes."
Ling Yun looked at the Holy Fort and did not speak. Li Feibai, who was a personal guard, couldn't help but complain, "This is the Holy Fort? Even this can be called the Holy Fort? It's not as good as our state government, let alone the Yang Mansion. This...it's too shabby and downright."
“It’s indeed a bit shabby”
Ling Yun nodded and admitted Li Feibai's words.
The Tujia Fort Holy Fort really surprised Ling Yun. When he came in, he thought it would be a magnificent palace, but now he was filled with emotion when he saw it.
