Water Margin farming to become powerful

Tong Guan had already prepared a 300-man cavalry in order to protect his own safety. Even though the battle was fierce, this cavalry did not go to the battlefield just now. At this time, there are still 100 cavalry with all beards and tails. The elites are already equipped with muskets.

At this time, the bodyguard cavalry escorted Tong Guan to escape, not only faster than the rebel army, but even faster than the light cavalry of the protection army chasing behind them.

After receiving the order, Tong Guan's Xiaoqi directly asked the cavalry to hold sabers and bones to clear a road ahead. If there was any hesitation, the Song army blocking the road would be killed mercilessly.

After killing dozens of Song soldiers, the soldiers of the Song army fled when they saw Tong Guan's soldiers and horses.

With such convenience, Tong Guan and others retreated as quickly as possible, and the [-] army on the battlefield is not so easy to make dumplings. It is impossible for Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu to put down such a large force just to catch Tong Guan alone In addition to sending two cavalry regiments forward to pursue the hidden dangers, the remaining guards are still faithfully implementing the original combat policy.

The [-] troops were already in a state of confusion when they saw Tong Guan's banner fell on the stage at the back. Tong Guan had already done his best in today's battle, completely ignoring the way forward. Originally, Tong Guan The retreat plan determined for them before the war arrived at this time, but it was completely impossible to implement because the rear route had been cut off by the protection army.

The [-]-strong army was gradually divided into three parts by the guards under the command of several capital supervisors.

At the beginning, several generals thought that they could fight a bloody road by uniting with each other, but then everyone gradually realized that it was impossible for women to join forces, so they regrouped and fled for their lives.

In the end, the [-] troops on the battlefield were divided into three different groups and broke out in different directions. As a result, the dumpling wrappers of the protective army could not cover the three dumpling fillings, and the entire battlefield became a mess. .

The Protecting Army wanted to capture as many routs and prisoners as possible, while the three Song army groups each had their own ideas.

One group wanted to flee to Fan County with Tong Guan, and another group plunged into the hinterland of Shandong, seemingly hoping to enter Qingzhou, but the last army led by Li Mei was just circling around Dongping Mansion.

In order to encircle and suppress these three armies, the protection army was really busy.

On Tong Guan's side, he ran away in a hurry all afternoon, and finally broke into the gate of Fan County in the evening.

After entering the city, Tong Guan ordered Fan County guards to close the four gates tightly, and then counted the soldiers in the city. Knowing that there were more than 3000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and a batch of food was coming, Tong Guan decisively ordered Fan All the cadres of the protection army in the county jail and the spies caught were beheaded.

He planned to build a forward position based on Fan County, which was at least a city controlled by the protection army that he had conquered in Shandong. If this city was also lost, it would be really difficult to explain to Zhao Ji when he went back.

When I was thinking about how to remedy it in a hurry, I heard another rush of footsteps outside.

The man yelled a few times outside the door, the voice was very urgent, Tong Guanzheng didn't answer at all when he was having a headache, and after a while, the man opened the door and came in.

Tong Guan raised his eyebrows in an instant: "How dare you intrude into the place where my military aircraft is important? First drag it down and hit fifty army sticks."

He cursed and looked up, only to see that the person entering the door was the general Wu Bingyi whom he sent to take charge of the relocation.

Tong Guan instantly changed his face and said in surprise: "Why did you come so quickly? But did you bring the food and grass?"

When he said this, his face was full of joy, but Wu Bingyi in front of him was full of worry.

Only then did Tong Guan realize that something was wrong. He wanted to ask but did not dare to ask, "What happened again?"

He was really afraid that he would not be able to escape if he heard from Wu Bingyi that there was also a large army of protection troops in the west of Fan County.

Wu Bingyi's face was filled with sadness, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he said, "Master En, Xuzhou is urgent!"

Tong Guan hadn't reacted yet, "Xuzhou?"

The next moment he was horrified, and said again: "Xuzhou?"

"The Protectorate Army attacked Xuzhou!"

Wu Bingyi nodded and took out a brochure from his pocket, but it was the Di newspaper he got from Hebei.

Tong Guan's hands were already trembling when he took the mansion newspaper, and when he opened the mansion newspaper and saw the news about Xuzhou being besieged by the protection army, there was a buzz in Tong Guan's head, and he slumped back to the grand teacher's chair again.

Xuzhou!

what a place!
The real north-south hub, where the Grand Canal is located, if Xuzhou is captured by the protection army, then Bianliang's control of Jiangnan will be completely cut off.

The biggest reason why Fang La's uprising aroused the anger of the imperial court before was not that he caused much trouble in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether he occupied Haizhou or Chuzhou, it was just a small loss to the Song Dynasty. In fact, the economic benefits are still there. The stakes are not higher than the Supervisory Committee's occupation of Shandong. The key is that Fang Na actually reached out to Jianghuai in the later period and began to attack Xuzhou. Once this place is controlled by foreign enemies, the Song Dynasty's territory will be divided into north and south. The transportation between North China and Jiangnan Directly cutting off the transportation of grain and grass was directly equivalent to cutting off a major blood vessel for the Song Dynasty. At that time, the nutrition supply and demand of the entire court would be insufficient.

After being dizzy for a while, Tong Guan carefully opened the mansion newspaper and checked it carefully, and the more he read it, the more chill he felt.

The publication of this newspaper was exactly three days ago. At that time, they were struggling under Shouzhang County. Little did they know that the protective army had unknowingly launched an offensive around Xuzhou.

The Di newspaper was badly read. It seemed that Wu Bingyi was also analyzing the situation along the way. After carefully reading the Di newspaper, Tong Guan quickly understood why Wu Bingyi had such an expression before he came in.

According to the report in the residence, the attack of the guards on Xuzhou was like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

Da Song didn't seem to have received the news of Xuzhou's emergency at all before, but suddenly a few days ago, a large group of protection army troops appeared outside Xuzhou city. They brought quite a lot of heavy firearms, and they started Siege.

Mansion newspapers generally only record very brief events, even if an ordinary state city is broken, there are only a few words on it, but this mansion newspaper describes in detail the sharpness of the protection army's firearms.

Especially the cannons of the guardian army, the mansion newspaper described the power of the cannons in horror, the small cannons can target the defenders on the city and kill them, as long as a few cannon carts are placed, they will bombard the city wall continuously It's hard to stand up at all.

And the heavier cannon can directly punch a hole in the three-palm-thick brick wall in one shot, smashing the battlements and killing the defenders behind the wall.

Just seeing the horrified words in the newspaper is enough to show the shock of Xuzhou's guards at the sudden arrival of the guards and their firearms. (end of this chapter)
