Chapter 249 It's Just a Crowd 【Order】

Hearing this, Li Huan just smiled lightly, glanced at Xu Ying, Chen Ang and the others and said slowly: "If you are asked to destroy this city, what strategy will you take?"

Slightly taken aback, Xu Ying, Chen Ang, Ren Ping and the others all showed a bit of contemplation. In their view, this was naturally a test for them by Li Huan.

After all, as generals commanding troops, it is their job to attack cities and land. If they don't even have strategies for attacking cities, then they are not suitable to be generals commanding troops.

Looking at each other, Xu Ying said first: "Back to the governor, it's just a small Ningzhou city, the city is only a dozen miles around, and the defenders are no more than a few thousand. The most important thing is that the defenders in this city are not elite. It's just a mob, if the last general led elite soldiers and under the strong attack, I dare not say that they will be defeated in one attack, and they will be able to attack them after a few times."

Standing aside, Chen Ang nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the general guarding the city is He Jin. What a good general, he can forcibly attack the city."

Ren Ping also nodded slightly, apparently deeply convinced of Chen Ang and Xu Ying's views.

Li Huan smiled. As Xu Ying and the others said, Ningzhou City is not a fortified city. It's really not difficult to break through.

The eyes of several people fell on Li Huan, Li Huan smiled lightly and said, "Ningzhou City is not a problem, but our goal here is not Ningzhou City, but to put down the rebellion of Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu. "

Chen Ang was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted and said: "The governor means that we don't care about Ningzhou City?"

A flash of light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "That's right, it's just a Ningzhou city, just go around it directly, as long as the Anhua King's rebellion is put down, then He Jin and the thousands of rebels in the city will be captured without a fight."

Ren Ping subconsciously said: "But if they raid our rear..."

Before Ren Ping finished speaking, Ren Ping showed a look of surprise on his face, and then looked at Li Huan and said, "Great governor's advice."

Li Huan just smiled and said: "The soldiers rested for one night, set off tomorrow, and headed straight for Anhua City, and rushed to Anhua City in one day. I think the Anhua King should be very surprised."

Xu Ying looked at Li Huan with admiration. They were thinking about how to take down Ningzhou City, but they didn't expect that Li Huan didn't think about spending any time on Ningzhou City, but wanted to go straight to Huanglong .

If it is said that the two sides are fighting, if Ningzhou City is not breached, there is a real possibility that they will be cut off.

But the forms of the two sides are different. If the two sides are equally powerful, it must be a risky move for Li Huan to ignore the back road, and it is very likely that he will be flanked by others and be defeated.

But don't forget that King Anhua's rebellion only occupied Qingyang Mansion's territory, and using it to fight against the power of the imperial court was nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg.

Not to mention that Cao Xiong, the general soldier of Ningxia, who has received Li Huan's transfer order and is leading the imperial army to join him, it's not that Li Huan looks down on He Jin who is guarding the city.

Li Huan dared to say that even if he bypassed Ningzhou City and attacked Anhua City, He Jin, who was guarding the city, would never dare to go out of the city and attack him from behind.

Besides, the troops led by Cao Xiong will arrive tomorrow at the most, even if He Jin really leaves the city by then, he probably won't have the time to attack Li Huan's rear.

Taking a light look at Ningzhou City, Li Huan said, "Go back to the camp."

On the city wall, a heart fluttered, and He Jin, who was full of tension and anxiety, watched Li Huan and others go away from a distance. Instead of feeling relieved, he became more and more worried and turned to his confidants beside him. Said: "The reinforcements sent by the prince have not arrived yet."

Seeing his general's flustered appearance, his confidant couldn't help feeling a little flustered in his heart and said: "General, General Zhou Ang has already led the army here, and at most... at most, we can arrive tomorrow."

He Jin took a deep breath and said: "No, the imperial army will definitely attack the city tomorrow morning. You immediately send people out of the city overnight to find Zhou Ang, and tell him to hurry up and bring people to rescue."

As soon as he returned to the big army camp, Li Huan saw a hundred households of Jin Yiwei waiting in the camp.

Seeing Li Huan's return, the Jinyiwei Baihu quickly stepped forward to salute Li Huan and said, "This subordinate has seen your lord."

Li Huan waved his hand, glanced at the Jinyiwei Baihu and said, "But is there any news?"

Li Huan had already sent an order to the Jinyiwei system, ordering the Jinyiwei of the third brother of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia to investigate the matter of King Anhua's treason.

The Hundred Households of Jinyiwei turned to Li Huan and said, "My lord, not long ago, news came from my brothers that Anhua King Zhu Zhiyu sent Zhou Ang to lead an army of [-] to rescue Ningzhou City. If there is no accident If so, Zhou Ang's troops should arrive at the city of Ningzhou around noon tomorrow."

Li Huan couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, while Ren Ping, Chen Ang, Xu Ying and others who followed Li Huan into the camp had their eyes lit up.

After waving his hand, the hundred households of Jinyiwei retreated. Li Huan sat there, glanced at Ren Ping and Chen Ang, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that King Anhua really values ​​Ningzhou very much. .”

Ren Pingdao: "How can I say that Ningzhou City is also the gateway of Qingyang Mansion. In the eyes of King Anhua and the others, Ningzhou City must not be lost, so it is reasonable to send Zhou Ang to lead the army."

Chen Ang glanced at Li Huan thoughtfully and said, "This subordinate thinks that King Anhua's move is not only to rescue Ningzhou, but also to stop us and drag us under the city of Ningzhou."

Ren Ping frowned and looked at Chen Ang and said, "Commander Chen is thinking too much, what's the use of King Anhua dragging us under the city of Ningzhou?"

Xu Ying sneered and said, "Of course we are waiting for the Tatar reinforcements to arrive."

Ren Ping suddenly looked up at Li Huan
Li Huan, on the other hand, seemed quite calm, obviously not surprised by Xu Ying's words.

Li Huan said calmly: "It seems that the Tatars have been going south for a few days now."

Although it has been known for a long time that King Anhua colluded with the Tatars and led the Tatars to go south, but now the approximate time of the Tatars going south is inferred from King Anhua's dispatch of troops, and everyone still can't bear it. A bit of anger rose in my heart.

"grown ups!"

Ren Ping couldn't help but open his mouth to Li Huan, his eyes were full of anger and fighting spirit.

It would be fine if it was the Tatars who invaded the Ming Dynasty, but as the clan of the Ming Dynasty, King Anhua even colluded with the Tatars, and even wanted to lure the Tatars to the south to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty. Treat them as enemies.

"The final general asks for your permission. The final general is willing to lead his troops to crush Zhou Ang's reinforcements, capture Anhua City, and bring the king of Anhua to justice."

"The end will fight!"

Several generals stood up together, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

Li Huan smiled a little, looked at a few people and said: "Don't worry, everyone, you are indispensable in the war, but the army has been rushing for thousands of miles in the past few days, and the soldiers are already exhausted, so don't be in a hurry. Time, tomorrow, when the whole army has recovered enough energy and waited for work with ease, first destroy Zhou Ang's troops, and then enter Anhua City and capture the anti-king."

next day
rising sun
Above the dilapidated official road, the mighty smoke and dust covered the sky, and countless soldiers and horses were seen coming slowly like a torrent.

As the flags fluttered, the word Zhou on the flags could be vaguely seen. Needless to say, this group of troops was the [-] rebels sent by King Anhua and commanded by Zhou Ang.

Naturally, the [-]-strong army traveled in a dense mass of darkness, with almost no boundaries at a glance, and the momentum was not small at all.

It's a pity that anyone with a discerning eye can see that this army has a large number of soldiers and horses, but they are not elites.

With so many people, it seems that they can't even maintain their formation. At first glance, they look more like a group of rabble.

However, the leading general who was surrounded by his own soldiers looked very complacent. He was dressed in an incomparably conspicuous armor, and he looked quite eye-catching. It was the commander of this rebel army, Zhou hold head high.

Looking at the [-] army behind him, Zhou Ang was very excited. He thought that Zhou Ang was just a guerrilla general, and in the past, he only commanded thousands of people.

Even because of the lack of pay, he, a guerrilla general, can really command even fewer troops. It is definitely the first time he has led an army of tens of thousands like this.

Zhou Ang's heart was extremely excited by this sense of accomplishment.

A burst of fast horses came galloping, Zhou Ang's spirit was shaken, and he looked at the person who came, it was the sentry sent by him.

The sentry got off his horse and bowed to Zhou Ang, saying, "Greetings, general, traces of the imperial army are found ahead."

Zhou Ang didn't show panic when he heard the words, but his eyes lit up and he said, "Imperial soldiers and horses? How far is it?"

The sentinel hurriedly said: "Return to the general, it is about twenty miles away from here. The opponent has camped under the city of Ningzhou, and is currently besieging the city of Ningzhou."

Zhou Ang couldn't help laughing and said, "Young Li Huan, you really are ignorant. You really don't know what it means to use cavalry to attack the city."

As he said that, Zhou Ang said to the generals beside him: "Everyone heard it, Li Huan, that kid, even used cavalry to attack the city, it's ridiculous, if I don't take this opportunity to break through the opponent's army , I’m sorry God gave us such a good opportunity.”

If Li Huan led tens of thousands of cavalry into the battle, no matter how much Zhou Ang looked down on Li Huan, he would still cheer up.

After all, although he is arrogant, he is not a fool. He knows that if his 2 horses are really attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry, they will definitely not be opponents.

So Zhou Ang kept praying in his heart that it would be best for Li Huan to be busy attacking Ningzhou City, so that he could find an opportunity to take down Li Huan's cavalry in one go.

Although Zhou Ang also knew that his idea was a little unrealistic, but what if the gods let him get what he wanted.

As a result, the news brought by the sentry made Zhou Ang's heart full of excitement.

Taking the cavalry to attack the city, Zhou Ang underestimated Li Huan in his heart.In addition, he didn't take Li Huan seriously, so Zhou Ang didn't regard Li Huang as an opponent at all.

Many generals of the rebel army also looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought that they might have to go through a tough battle this time, but they did not expect that Li Huan, who was sent by the court, actually used cavalry as infantry to attack the city. The spirit of the generals was inspired.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Zhou Ang said loudly: "Send the order, order the army to speed up, absolutely don't give Li Huan a chance to react."

But said that under the city of Ningzhou
Li Huan and the others were listening to the news brought back by the sentry, with a smile on their lips.

The sentry retreated, Li Huan put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the generals in the big tent and said: "The brothers who are acting are ordered to work harder and work harder."

Hearing what Li Huan said, many generals couldn't help but smile.

Listening to the shouts of killing coming from a distance outside, it sounds like a fight is going on.

But they knew very well that the shouts of killing were just for others to see, and the soldiers who attacked the city were just acting under the city of Ningzhou.

Now that it was confirmed that the army led by Zhou Ang would be able to arrive today, Li Huan simply decided not to waste effort to attack Zhou Ang's troops.

After all, even if they were cavalry, they would definitely be tired after running for tens of miles. In this case, it is better to wait for Zhou Ang to lead the army to come to the door.

Of course, in order to prevent Zhou Ang from daring to send it to his door, Li Huan specially sent a battalion of troops to the city of Ningzhou to attack the city.

One is to act for Zhou Ang and other rebels, so that they know that he, the governor, does not know much about soldiers, and on the other hand, he is forcing Zhou Ang to lead troops to rescue Ningzhou City.

After all, if Zhou Ang led his troops back to Anhua City, it would not be so easy for them to break through Anhua City.

After all, even if it is a group of rabble, if the number reaches a certain number, then it cannot be underestimated.

After glancing at Chen Ang and Xu Ying, Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead, lead your men to be ready to attack at any time, and make sure to hit Zhou Ang's troops hard."

After receiving Li Huan's order, Chen Ang, Xu Ying and others were refreshed, they stood up and saluted Li Huan, and strode out of the tent.

On the land ten miles away from Ningzhou City, a mass of rebels was approaching Ningzhou City at an extremely fast speed.

Zhou Ang, who was riding on a horse, watched a horse galloping towards him.

When the cavalryman saw the banner of Zhou Ang and the others, his eyes lit up and he ran excitedly.

But the next moment, this person was stopped by a team of sentries.

"I am Li Guo, a general from Ningzhou. I have come to seek help from General Zhou by the order of my general."

Hearing Li Guo's words from afar, Zhou Ang's eyes flashed brightly and he said, "Bring me here."

Soon Li Guo was brought before Zhou Ang. Li Guo bowed to Zhou Ang and said, "Little Li Guo pays respects to the general."

Zhou Ang looked at Li Guo condescendingly and said, "Li Guo, right? How is the situation in Ningzhou City? Does your general have anything to tell me?"

Li Guo hurriedly said: "General Zhou, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court started attacking the city early this morning, and they almost attacked the city several times. Fortunately, my general led the defenders to guard the city strictly, so that the city of Ningzhou was not breached."

Zhou Ang said impatiently: "Does your general have anything to say to this general?"

Li Guo paused and said: "My general said, please General Zhou to look for an opportunity to surprise the imperial army. At that time, my general will lead the army out of the city, attack back and forth, and defeat the imperial army."

Zhou Ang laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Well, He Jin still has such thoughts, and it is not in vain for the prince to order him to sit in Ningzhou City."

Speaking of which, Zhou Ang stared at Li Guo and said solemnly: "As far as I know, Li Huan led nearly ten thousand cavalry. How many soldiers and horses did he use when he attacked the city?"

Li Guo was stunned, shook his head and said, "I don't know the little one. The little one is just a soldier beside General He. He was ordered to go out of the city to ask for help. I don't know how many troops the court sent to attack the city..."

Zhou Ang nodded slightly when he heard the words, glanced at Li Guo and said: "In this case, you can go with this general. If you can repel the imperial army this time, this general will credit you with credit."

Li Guo was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Thank you, General."

Under Zhou Ang's urging, the rebels rushed towards Ningzhou City at an extremely fast speed.

From a distance, Zhou Ang could only see a camp stationed not far from Ningzhou City, and there were shouts of killing coming from the direction of Ningzhou City in the distance.

Although he said he couldn't see the situation in Ningzhou City, but only heard the shout of killing, Zhou Ang couldn't help being surprised and said: "Okay, okay, it's too late for Li Huan to react at this moment."

Speaking of which, Zhou Ang shouted excitedly: "Pass me an order to order the army to enter the camp."

"kill!"

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of horses started to run, but the movement was not small at all.

Originally, the soldiers and horses under Zhou Ang's command rushed all the way and were exhausted, but now, under the urging of generals at all levels among the rebel army, more than [-] soldiers and horses cheered up and rushed to station there The big camp swept in.

As it got closer and closer, the ground suddenly trembled. Zhou Ang followed the prestige and saw the torrents roaring from the two wings and two teams in the distance.

And the camp gate in the middle also opened wide, and a group of cavalry also roared out.

What's more important is that the shaking shouts of Ningzhou City in the distance suddenly disappeared.

"wrong!"

The inexplicable Zhou Ang felt a little bad in his heart, especially when he saw the three torrents of cavalry sweeping towards him.

Zhou Ang's complexion changed drastically with that invincible momentum like a torrent.

"No, I've been fooled!"

Zhou Ang's bet was that Li Huan's energy was restrained by Ningzhou City, so he dared to gamble, otherwise, although he would lead the army to rescue Ningzhou City, he would definitely not be so reckless kill it.

Zhou Ang knew very well that when the infantry faced the cavalry charge, if they were in the wilderness, they might not be defeated if they were prepared.

The key is that his soldiers and horses are not on the defensive now, and there are various defenses that can withstand the impact of the cavalry.

The infantry attacked the cavalry, which was courting death at all.

"how so!"

Zhou Ang looked at Li Guo subconsciously, but he wanted to ask him what was going on.

However, at the next moment, a cold light rushed towards Zhou Ang, and it was Li Guo who suddenly shot an arrow at Zhou Ang.

As soon as Li Guo made a move, he rushed towards Zhou Ang's vital point. Dozens of soldiers beside Zhou Ang couldn't help but change their expressions and tried to stop him.

There were dozens of personal guards between Li Guo and Zhou Ang, otherwise, Li Guo would not have shot an arrow, but would have slashed at Zhou Ang with a knife.

With a warning in his heart, Zhou Ang leaned down suddenly, and the arrow brushed past Zhou Ang's head and shot Zhou Ang's helmet directly.

Zhou Ang, with disheveled hair, shouted sharply: "Kill him, kill him!"

At this moment, Zhou Ang didn't know that there must be something wrong with Li Guo's identity, he was deceived by someone.

Needless to say, the person who lied to him, except for Li Huan who he didn't care about.

Zhou Ang couldn't help feeling ashamed when he thought that he had been deceived by Li Huan, that he had been deceived by a junior.

"Ah, ah, ah, Li Huan, you dare to plot against me, and you are so angry with this general!"

At this moment, three torrents pierced fiercely into the rebels like three sharp knives, and suddenly there were shouts of killing and screams from the rebels.

Where the cavalry passed, the rebels panicked and had no intention of resisting at all, and they were killed and injured in the blink of an eye.

Li Huan rode his horse and came with a spear in his hand, but everyone who stood in front of him was picked up by him.

In the eyes of others, the spear in Li Huan's hand danced, followed by figures flying into the sky, and then fell down fiercely, killing and injuring an unknown number of rebels.

Suddenly, a shout came: "My lord, the thief is about to escape!"

Hearing this, Li Huan's gaze fell into the distance, and he saw a general in armor fleeing at an extremely fast speed among the chaotic army under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers.

And it was none other than Li Guo who spoke.

Li Huan nodded slightly at Li Guo, then suddenly got off his horse, and under the protection of Li Hu and a dozen other cavalrymen, he went straight to Zhou Ang and chased after him.

With Li Huan's spirit of blocking and killing the gods, none of the rebel soldiers dared to stand in front of him. On the contrary, Zhou Ang led his own soldiers to flee and had to slash his own rebel army with a knife.

As a result, it didn't take long for Li Huan to catch up to Zhou Ang, the armored leader of the rebel army.

Zhou Ang looked at Li Huan in a bit of embarrassment, thinking that not long ago he had let go of his wild words to Anhua King Zhu Zhiyu, and wanted to take Li Huan's head to see Zhu Zhiyu.

Zhou Ang admitted that he had indeed underestimated Li Huan. Li Huan was indeed as young as he imagined, but young is young, the key is that Li Huan is young, and that's all because of the invincible force that he just showed. , Zhou Ang felt a sense of despair in his heart.

He is only second-rate in strength, and by flattery and bribery of superiors, he got a job as a guerrilla general in the army.

Just because he was dissatisfied with Liu Jin's new policy, coupled with his ambition, he was bewitched by King Anhua, so he resolutely chose to raise troops to help King Anhua rebel.

Previously, he indeed led his soldiers and horses to take down more than a dozen cities in Qingyang Mansion with ease. He thought that he could assist King Anhua to conquer the world.

This time, he thought that dealing with the imperial army would be as easy as he did before, and the imperial army would be easily defeated when the army arrived. It was precisely because of this intention that Zhou Ang was so easy to plot.

Looking at Li Huan now, Zhou Ang felt a sense of despair in his heart, but soon Zhou Ang roared, and suddenly got off his horse and rushed towards Li Huan.

"Li Huan, even if you die, Mr. Zhou will drag you with you!"

Looking at Zhou Ang's desperate posture, Li Huan couldn't help showing a sneer of disdain.

Riding on the horse, Li Huan just looked at Zhou Ang who was rushing towards him. With a shake of the spear in his hand, the blood on the spear was thrown off. The next moment, the spear in Li Huan's hand moved forward so casually. prick.
