The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 256
At this moment, in the east of Luzhou City, it was the ninth and tenth commanders of the left wing of the Longwei Army who were shooting arrows at the city.

Although these two commanders have mediocre combat power, they are considered elite among the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

The two commanders were ordered to feint to attack the east of Luzhou City, and they set off before dawn. They circled a long circle, avoided the bandit army camp in the North City, and arrived at the location of the East City.

At this time, watching the arrows shoot down from the top of the city, and the smoke and dust billowing from the north city, and the sound of horseshoes, Zhou Xiao, the commander of the ninth command, shouted: "The wind is tight, scream!"

Xu Nian, the commander of the Tenth Command, said, "Run and run, where's the nonsense!"

Zhou Xiao had already turned his horse's head at this time, and snorted, "You know what, this is what I learned when I went to Dengzhou with the prince!"

Xu Nian was so angry that his teeth itch. The two conductors went to Longyou together at that time, and they were considered the prince's direct descendants.

But later the prince quietly went to Dengzhou, but he only brought the ninth commander with him, but he also knew that the court had a secret order not to bring more people, but the ninth commander went there, and it was really annoying to show off when he came back.

Especially when they go shopping in Goulan and give rewards, they are extravagant. The tenth commander of them went to give a reward of consistent money, and the ninth commander directly rewarded them with a tael of silver, which made them unable to hold their heads up.

Xu Nian didn't know what happened, the prince must have made a fortune with the Ninth Commander on the road, but how could it be easy to ask about this kind of thing, he could only watch the Ninth Commander arrogantly but helplessly.

Xu Nian snorted coldly and led his men to retreat without saying a word. Zhou Xiao smiled complacently and retreated.

When Duan Er led the soldiers and horses to rush over, there was no one in sight, only a mouth full of dust.

Duan Er immediately frowned and said, "How did the Song army run so fast?"

Next to him, Du Po said, "I'm afraid I didn't run away because of the wind?"

Duan Er nodded involuntarily, frowned and said, "I heard from the soldiers that about a thousand cavalry came to sneak attack, but the more I thought about it on the way, the more wrong it became. Could a thousand cavalry be able to attack the city?"

Du Po's eyebrows trembled when he heard the words: "Marshal, I'm afraid this is impossible."

Duan Erdao: "Since they can't take the city, what are they going to do? Are you not afraid that they won't be able to go back once they come?"

Du Po couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only say: "Marshal, I think he is here to inquire about the military situation?"

Duan Er glanced at him: "So many people can be used to inquire about the military situation? And even shoot arrows at the top of the city, I think they are here to show off!"

Although Du Po is proficient in martial arts, he is a layman in military affairs, so he nodded and said, "What the marshal said is very true."

At this moment, suddenly a horse came running from the north of the city. He looked like he was dressed as a soldier. When he got close, he got off his horse and said, "Marshal, there are military reports from the west of the city. Some Song soldiers have detoured from nowhere and are attacking the west city. !"

Duan Er's face turned ugly when he heard the words, and said: "How many people are there in the Song army, and how do we attack?"

The soldiers said: "There is news from the west city that about 1000 cavalry are attacking the city with strong bows!"

Duan Er took a deep breath when he heard the words: "Can Deputy Commander Fang send troops there?"

The soldier said: "Send a few generals to lead 5000 people there, and then let the young one deliver a letter to the marshal."

Duan Er nodded, and said coldly: "Return to the camp!"

He took people back to the camp in the north of the city, and not long after, all the troops who went to the west of the city to kill the Song army also returned, and then reported that they didn't even catch the shadow of the Song army. .

Duan Er thought it was wrong, so he called all the generals to discuss the matter in the big tent of the Chinese army.

With a gloomy face, he said: "Both the eastern and western cities were attacked by the Song army by detour, but they did not confront our army. What do you think?"

The following general Kou Meng said: "Marshal, I think this Song army is intentionally disgusting. They know that our army has many soldiers and many generals, and they can't compete with them head-on. That's why they deliberately acted like a villain and disturbed our army's morale."

Another general He Ji said: "Marshal, the last general also sees it the same way. There are only more than 1000 cavalry, not to mention attacking the city. Under the random arrows, they may not even be able to get close to the city gate. They just want to confuse our army."

Fang Han said: "This Song Jun...does he have other plans?"

Zhao Tong said at this time: "It's unlikely that Song Jun has other plans, otherwise, why would he run away in a hurry without even seeing him?"

Du Po said: "I think it is the same. If there is any conspiracy or trick, we must meet with the superior and use some tricks before leaving. But the Song army fled when they saw the soldiers moving in the north of the city."

Duan Er snorted coldly: "I'm afraid it's not delusional to send out a mere thousand cavalry, how could it disturb our army's morale!"

Zhao Tong said: "Marshal is right, I think it must be that the Song army is afraid of my power and dare not fight head-on, that's why they made this small trick, but how can this kind of trick affect the morale of the army, it's ridiculous."

Duan Erdao: "Zhao Tun'er is as timid as a mouse, and if he follows such a shameless strategy, he will be like a mouse!"

Zhao Tun blinked and said, "It's really not a hero."

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside, and then someone shouted outside the tent: "Marshal, there is a military situation."

Duan Erdao: "Come in and talk."

A scout came in from outside, knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Marshal, the Song army who shot the arrows at Dongcheng before is back..."

"What?" Duan Er stood up from the handsome chair with a "huh", stared at the soldiers and said, "Back again?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, that's exactly the case, and he started shooting arrows at the city again."

After Duan Er walked out of the case, he took a few steps and said in a cold voice, "You all follow me to have a look!"

Fang Han said: "Marshal, since the Song army in the east city has gone and returned, then the west city..."

"Xicheng?" Duan Er's face became extremely ugly when he heard this, and he was about to continue talking when suddenly footsteps came from outside again.

Then another scout came in and reported: "Marshal, the Song army who attacked Xicheng earlier has returned and is continuing to attack with arrows!"

"Zhao Tun'er deceived me too much!" Duan Er's face turned livid when he heard this, and said, "I don't believe that I won't be able to catch these Song soldiers. Privy Fang will take half of them to the west city, and the rest will follow me to the east city!"

Half an hour later, all the people who went to the two sides returned, and none of them looked good. This time, they didn't even catch the shadow of the other party.

Everyone entered the big tent with gloomy faces and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Fang Han said: "Marshal, I think it's better to report to the king, and then send some soldiers and horses to surround the city."

Duan Er sneered: "There are only more than 3 people in the city now, how many can we send? The palace needs people to protect, and the Prime Minister's Mansion and other places also need people to suppress the people in the city. It is useless to send too many people. , what if there is a riot in the city?"

Fang Han frowned when he heard the words: "This..."

Duan Erdao: "Be patient, the tools for building the trenches are almost ready, wait for me..."

"Marshal, there is a military report." A panicked voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

Duan Er was taken aback, and said, "What's the matter? Come in and talk!"

Tan Ma ran in, threw himself on the ground and said, "Marshal, then...the Song Army from Dongcheng is back!"
