Chapter 222 Two poles to save the driver
The silent judgment was correct. Ye Bichuan and Wang Qingxi were not so easy to mess with. They were two of the eight King Kongs under Wang Zhi, with a strong combat power. The reason why they wanted to evacuate from Shachuanwa was that because Xu Hai retreated first, Wang Zhi did not want to be the first to be the first, so he forced them to retreat.
But they were the king and dominant in Shachuanwa, and they actually didn't want to go back at all... When they returned to the island, their living conditions were far worse, and they had to be filial sons for the old ship owner. It was unhappy to think about it. But they had a deep understanding of the old ship owner's methods and did not dare to disobey their orders, so they had to move back in a depressed manner.
These people were good at robbing and killing people, but they wanted to move away the 20,000 base, but they obviously lacked organizational skills. Not only did they mess up from beginning to end, but they were also attacked by Cao Bangfu, Yu Dayou and others as they took the opportunity to attack, killing more than 600 of them, and burning countless warship supplies.
It doesn’t matter if you die and burn some ships to fall, but those ships are still full of plundered gold, silver, jewelry, and raw silk and satin. They are the lifebloods of the two leaders!
How could the two of Ye Wang, who were furious, swallow this breath? As soon as the two of them formed a plan, they divided the team into two, one continued to organize the transport, and the other led 10,000 troops to take revenge on the Cao surnamed.
Cao Bangfu also found that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, so he quickly led the team to hide in Songjiang City. No matter how Ye Bichuan provoked, he refused to fight.
Through the interactions last year, the Japanese and pirates also knew that it was basically impossible to break through the city guarded by the Ming army, so Ye Bichuan simply didn't even build a ladder, and he had no idea of ​​siege the city. If he continued to develop normally, he would have to fight back home after he had scolded enough under the city. What should everyone do?
But... it is indeed bad in these two words... Cao Bangfu, who had just taken office and was eager to make contributions, could not say in the good news, "After the victory, he was chased by the Japanese and pirates and chased into the city, and he could not dare to fight if he cursed his mother.' That would be not a great victory, but a joke.
But he forgot that Governor Zhou had just arrived and needed a big victory more than him... at least a big victory on paper to stabilize his position. So when he received his report, Zhou Qing scolded Cao's unrighteous person while ordering Hu Zongxian to assemble his troops and set off to get a share of the pie.
On the way, Hu Zongxian didn't advise him to say "Don't stop the return of his troops, and don't force the enemy to force him", but Zhou Qi just couldn't listen. His mind was full of "chasing, as long as he could catch up with the tail, this battle would be my coordination. At that time, he would attack Cao's book to avenge this embarrassing revenge."
The Governor misbelieved the documents of Governor Cao's true and false declaration of victory, and thought that the Japanese and pirates had already scattered all over the world. Seeing that it was useless to persuade him, Hu Zongxian had to send scouts to find out the enemy situation as soon as possible.
It can be said that this action saved their lives... When the team was excited and rushed to the Taozhai area, they heard the reward from the scouts sent, and the Japanese/pirate team drove by head-on.
"How many people?" Governor Zhou asked, covering his chest.
"At least tens of thousands." After hearing this answer, Zhou Yu almost fell off the horse. Because of the rush of coming, he brought five thousand people.
Marshal Zhou was frightened too much and even said something bad. Hu Zongxian had to take over the command and ordered the troops to retreat into Taozhai Town, strictly guarding the two stone bridges entering and leaving to wait for reinforcements... By the way, this Jiangnan town has a very similar appearance and structure. Hu Zongxian looked at Taozhai Town and remembered Wang Jiangjing, but this time he changed from an encirclement to an encircled person. This transformation is really depressing.
Those Japanese pirates were outside Songjiang City, and the Ye Bichuan tribe was full of anger. They had already given up their revenge and were about to go back to take a boat, but they met Zhou Ju and Hu Zongxian tribe.
Seeing the other party retreating into the town, Ye Bichuan was so excited: "I dare not attack Songjiang City. Are you still afraid of a small town that doesn't even have a city wall?" He ordered his subordinates to attack two stone bridges at the same time, but they were stubbornly resisted. Hu Zongxian and his hard-core favorite Lu Tong guarded the bridge one by one, and did not allow the Japanese/pirates to take advantage of it.
But Ye Bichuan has the title of "Little Zhuge", and he was also a juren who was promoted. He can be said to be the one with the highest education in the entire Japanese/pirate world and had the most bad ideas. Seeing that the wind was not small at that time, he ordered people to buy firewood at the top of the wind, then covered it with green wheat, and set it on fire. As a result, the wind borrowed the power of smoke and the guards could not stand, and the defense line was almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Hu Zongxian was experienced and ordered people to use urine to stain their hair and cover their faces. Only then did they stabilize their position slightly and not throw them to the stone bridge. Ye Bichuan had a backup plan... It turned out that he had already ordered people to raft bamboo rafts and cross the river from the side of the bridge while the smoke was filled.
Hu Zongxian was not aware of it for a moment and was surrounded by a group of people on the bridge. The personal soldiers with high martial arts skills organized a breakthrough and fought to fight to the death to find a way out. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he disappeared from the Chief Executive...
Where did Hu Zongxian go? He didn't go anywhere, but when he was pushing and crowding on the bridge, he stumbled and accidentally fell under the bridge, drowned in the river, leaving only his hair exposed.
Fortunately, when Lu Tong saw this scene, he jumped off the bridge, grabbed Hu Zhongcheng's hair, pulled him out of the water, and swam to the other side before the Japanese and pirates were paying attention.
After trying hard to pull Hu Zongxian to the shore, Lu Tong realized that he had made a fatal mistake. He should have taken Mr. Hu to the north shore, but he was dizzy and swam to the south shore.
Looking at the Japanese pirates slowly surrounding him, Lu Tong was very upset and pulled out his sword from his waist with a 'clang' and said, "Zhongcheng, go back quickly, I'll cover you."
Hu Zongxian was very embarrassed and lost his helmet. His hair was tightly pressed against his forehead. He helped Lu Tong stand up slowly and said, "I can't swim, so I'll cover you up."
Lu Tong waved his sword and cut off a Japanese pirate's spear for temptation, and laughed and said, "I, Lu Tong, can escape, but I will never leave my companion and run alone..." Then he could not speak anymore, because the Japanese pirate's attacks were dense, and he had to concentrate on resisting them.
Hu Zongxian wanted to pick up a stone from the ground to help Lu Tong, but he was exhausted and could not hold it at all. He was so tired that he sat on the ground and could no longer get up. He smiled mockingly, "I have to wait for death." Then he simply closed his eyes and sat upright, just waiting for that moment to arrive.
After waiting for a while, he heard the shouts of killing in front of him suddenly become less. He thought to himself: 'General Lu is 80% martyred, and it is my next one.' But he felt someone patting his shoulder. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Lu Tong with a happy look on his face: "Reinforcements are coming."
Hu Zongxian suddenly became energetic and widened his eyes and looked around. Then he saw the wolf soldiers rushing over the mountains and fields rushing over and finally said, "I'm so powerful..." Then he started to feel scared and couldn't even get up even if he sat there.
The troops coming were the three thousand vanguard troops led by Bao Jing Xuanwei Peng Xuchen...
Time went back to the beginning, Tie Zhu and others sent by Shen Mo faithfully fulfilled the mission assigned by the Lord. After following Hu Zongxian's pp, he arrived outside Taozhai Town, and found that the situation was abnormal... They also followed Shen Mo and had seen countless people fighting. Naturally, they could see that Hu Zongxian's troops were nervously deploying defenses, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Tiezhu immediately sent someone to ride a fast horse to Hangzhou, and met with the wolf clay soldiers led by Chen Si on the way.
When he heard this news, Chen Shi felt mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was relieved that he had made a judgment correctly, and on the other hand, he blamed himself for not trying to stop Hu Zongxian and the others. Fortunately, those who do their job have one of the biggest advantages, that is, it is easy to forgive himself... If this is not the case, the officials in the world will not have to be judged and will all blame themselves to death.
Silence quickly returned to normal. When asked Mrs. Wa, Peng Mingfu and Peng Xuchen said, "Your troops run the fastest?"
Peng Xuchen's three thousand "killers" were elected and became the first echelon of reinforcements. Saya ran wildly. When the Japanese pirates saw the reinforcements coming, they gave up the attack. Only then did he save Hu Zongxian at a very narrow time.
Hu Zongxian and him are old acquaintances, and everyone has worked together in the battle of Wangjiangjing, so Hu Zhongcheng said in his heart: 'My heroic figure in the battle should still be engraved in his heart.' Then he said to Peng Xuchen: "The situation of these Japanese pirates is very good, and they will definitely not retreat easily."
Peng Xuchen stared with his big eyes and said, "That's just enough to kill you." He wanted to force his army to kill him. Hu Zongxian hurriedly grabbed him and said, "The bandit leader is cunning and good at hiding, and he knows how to divide and combine. My soldiers have been tempted by them, so it is better to attack them with strange and right wings."
Seeing that he was in a mess, Peng Xuchen thought to himself: "What qualifications do you have to point at the defeated general?" So he refused to listen to Hu Zongxian and took advantage of his sharpness and went straight forward. As a result, he suffered a stump and lost some troops and retreated in a dirt.
At this time, Chen Mo also led the main force to arrive, asked the situation and comforted Peng Xuchen a few words... He had already figured out the temper of this guy, so he became impulsive in a few words. Chen Mo looked at the map drawn by Tiezhu and ordered Peng Xuchen to say, "It is best for the old man and Shouzhong to separate ways, and then let the Nanyi lead the army to lure the enemy, wait for it to fall, and attack it, and you will be in a slander?" Hu Zongxian heard it from the side, wasn't this exactly the same as me?
Peng Xuchen felt as if he had a treasure, nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Shen, you are a god." The people in the Peng family followed this strategy and sent Peng Nanyi to fight to lure the enemy.
