Chapter 180: Ordered to rob

Two days later, the Zhangwu army under Qian Renjun's command, divided into three groups and built six floating bridges at the same time to attack the opposite shore. The Jianzhou army, which was defending, did not show any weakness, launched fierce attacks on the enemy troops crossing the river without giving in. The Jianzhou army, which had a terrain advantage, was in a similar position to the Zhangwu army with its outstanding combat effectiveness when it was under the terrain.

Qian Renjun was not in a hurry. He rotated people every day, crossing the river and training troops. With the current situation of war damage, the opponent would collapse in two days.

"General, report urgently!" Just as Qian Renjun thought to take Putian steadily and then point his troops to Quanzhou, a hurry outside the tent interrupted him.

"What's the matter?" Qian Renjun was quite annoyed. The situation is very good now, and he should be able to gain a foothold on the other side tomorrow.

"General, Yongtai County sent a letter of help from his arms." The personal soldiers took out the letter from their arms and handed it to Qian Renjun.

"Where is the sender?" Qian Renjun opened the envelope and wrote it by the magistrate of Yongtai County. Nearly 5,000 enemies attacked Yongtai County. This was not good.

"Stay in front of me, I'll call you now." When the personal soldiers saw Qian Renjun's face, they knew that something was wrong. After saying that, they ran to call someone.

The messenger who delivered the letter was running day and night. It was not easy to sit down and rest for a while, waiting to eat something hot, but before he could eat it, he was pulled to Qian Renjun's noodles. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to reveal a trace of his face. If it made the other party furious, he might be in danger of losing his life. He knew what happened in the letter.

"Who did this? How many people are there in Yongtai City?" Qian Renjun's heart was trembling. Yongtai County guarded the important roads, which was an important barrier to ensure the safety of Fuzhou. If this place is lost, the other party can send troops to Fuzhou at any time, and he will be unable to sleep or eat.

"The Jianzhou Army, the leader of the people surnamed Sun, has seven or eight hundred people defending the city." The messenger knew a lot. Before leaving, the county magistrate gave him some instructions.

"Bastard, I want to kill him!" Qian Renjun finally knew why he had fought until now, and no one came to support him. He had already calculated that he was waiting for him here. Five thousand vs. one thousand, even if there was a city occupying the danger, he would definitely not be able to defend himself, and he was also the old and weak whom he looked down upon.

"General, withdraw!" the aide plucked up his courage to persuade, spending so much money, food and supplies, and losing so many people, and now that he has not made any achievements, he may soon lose a county town. This is a problem.

"No, I will take Putian at all costs." Qian Renjun was unwilling to accept it and retreated like this. The responsibility was too great. If Putian County was won, it would be considered a draw, and he still had a chance to remedy it.

"General, if the other party goes downstream from Yongtai County and occupy Qingkou Town, we will not be able to take care of both the beginning and the end, and become an isolated army." In the past, Qingkou Town also had many troops stationed, but now it is an empty town, with only 5,000 new recruits in Fuzhou City, which can be slightly resisted. But as long as the other party takes Qingkou Town, they can cut off the contact between Qian Renjun's army and Fuzhou, and the lonely army is hanging out, and it will be no sooner or later to destroy it.

"Then, in this way, withdraw all the troops first and save Qingkou Town, without any loss." Qian Renjun was unwilling to accept it. In just three days, he would be sure to take Putian County. The opposite side was already exhausted and could not hold on.

"Then, if the other party does not enter Qingkou Town, but instead plunders nearby villagers, or send troops to the officers and marquis and the two counties of Minqing, how can the general deal with it?" The aides knew that this would be disgusted by the general, but they would not care about so many. The other party had five thousand troops, and now they might have entered Yongtai County. They would cause huge damage to Fuzhou at any time. The only army here could stop all this.

"Since that's the case, we will send 10,000 troops back to the rescue tomorrow, and fight the rest again." Qian Renjun decided to try again, but if he fails, he can only return to Fuzhou.

The staff nodded when they heard this. Ten thousand troops returned to the rescue, and the 5,000 new recruits from Fuzhou were enough to deal with the other party's threat. However, the remaining personnel should be unable to do anything to the other side. The general insisted on trying, but he ruined some soldiers here in vain. Today, he has contradicted the general several times, so it is hard for the staff to say more, so he will continue to take the order.

There is a small road between Putian and Yongtai County that can directly cross the mountains. The moment Sun Yu attacked Yongtai County, he sent special camp soldiers to lead the way. The evil dog led the soldiers of the personal camp to clean up various outposts arranged by the Zhangwu Army, and opened the road. From then on, Yongtai County and Putian County will support each other and threaten Fuzhou.

Yongtai County is only hundreds of old and weak. After a few rounds of feather arrows, the siege is coming to an end. Half an hour later, Sun Yu watched a group of Yongtai County officials heading south on a small boat, without any intention of intercepting it, mainly because there is no ship and he is too lazy to search.

Yongtai County has a very steep terrain, and the city walls are all built against the mountains. Although they are not high, they cannot arrange troops on a large scale because of the narrow terrain. If there are two or three thousand elite soldiers in the city, Sun Yu will not be able to chew them down.

In Yongtai County, Sun Yu organized manpower and posted notices to calm people's hearts. In addition, he had to arrange fortifications to strengthen. When Qian Renjun returned to Fuzhou, he would definitely not give up.

Gao Huichang and Han Zaiwu were all grooms this time. They led the horse to pull some food and supplies along the way, and did nothing else, so they followed the team to take a look.

"Sir, we are going to go out for a walk." Since the last time we held hands, our relationship has reached a new level, and we have negotiated in all things in a friendly and friendly manner, for fear of being caught by Sun Yu again.

"Just go, one goes down the water, one goes north, two roads, go out to rob. But remember, one is to only grab big people, just money, and don't want anything else. Second, try not to see blood. If there are really people who are ignorant, don't be polite. Third, you must come back before sunset tomorrow." Sun Yu expected that as soon as tomorrow night, the enemy will be able to retreat from Jiangkou Town to Qingkou Town. Before that, they led the cavalry troops and could surround Fuzhou without any obstacles.

"Here!" The two of them were so excited that they finally came in handy. It would be better to show off their might and rob. This is good.

Sun Yu shook his head, are there such a plot? He has been a cavalry and has never been so excited to see him. He heard that he was going to rob, and this guy would almost never leave the road.

Gao Huichang and Han Zaiwu agreed that they would divide the two troops, Gao Huichang went north, Han Zaiwu would go down the water road, and would converge on the Minjiang River at noon tomorrow, and he would not be able to cross the river anyway.

The wealthy families on the south bank of the Minjiang River in Fuzhou were all in great trouble. With special camp soldiers leading the way, this cavalry battalion was not lost, and they came to collect protection fees from door to door. These big families were basically very tactful. They offered protection fees with both hands, as long as the other party left immediately. Who told the damn Jiedushi to take away all the soldiers and make Fuzhou empty, and this disaster was caused. Now the Jianzhou Army is still good. They don’t kill people or set fires, but they just charge some protection fees. Some big families were collected and they also had a good impression of the Jianzhou Army. If Qian Renjun knew about this, they didn’t know what to think. Moreover, these big families recorded the losses on Qian Renjun and were preparing to let their children in Hangzhou attack this person in Hangzhou and let him get out as soon as possible.

At noon the next day, Gao Huichang and Han Zaiwu joined forces and looked at the Minhou County on the other side of the river. If it weren't for the river water block, they would definitely have gained a lot.

"old

Gao, how much money did you get?" Han Zaiwu sighed. Minhou County is second only to the prefecture. There are many wealthy families. If you invest in it and collect protection fees, then the income will be very jealous. But this is just thinking about it. If you can really invest in it, you might have to occupy it. How could Sun Yu tolerate their robbery? Even this time, he did it very restrained and he had to maintain the reputation of the Jianzhou Army.

"It's more than nine thousand taels, a little less." Gao Huichang sighed, less than what he thought, and much fewer large households on the south bank than the north bank of the Minjiang River.

"Satisfied, I'm only over 6,000, and I've escaped to the other side of the river." Han Zaiwu walked the line, which was the route where Yongtai County Magistrate and others escaped. The big families along the way were a little decisive and ran to the other side of the river to avoid disasters. However, they probably suffered greater losses than those who stayed there. Han Zaiwu directly led his people to smash the door, and turned around and left. The ordinary people would tell them what it means to plunder cleanly. If Han Zaiwu didn't smash the door, no one would dare to go in, but once the door was smashed, hehe, there would be no hair left. This is called the broken window effect.

"Do you want to do a big vote?" Gao Huichang was unwilling to accept that so many cavalrymen came out to rob, so they got more than 10,000 taels of silver back, and this matter was not done properly.

"You might want to move Minqing County, right?" Han Zaiwu was stunned. This county town was plundered in other places on the south bank of the Minjiang River.

"Yes, the county town is much richer than the countryside. Getting a ten thousand taels of silver is not like playing." Gao Huichang thought that not only there are many large households in the county town, but also a group of officials and shops along the street to search for it casually. That is also a good number. If you are lucky enough to build a money house, it would be even more amazing.

Minqing County is located on the south bank of the Minjiang River. Meixi River flows into the Minjiang River. The county town is built along the corner of Meixi River. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by the mountain. In order to meet with Han Zaiwu, Gao Huichang could only cross the mountains and bypass the Minqing County. Minqing County only has two gates in the east and west. Since I knew something happened in Yongtai County, the city gate has never been opened. Although there were only 500 weak soldiers in the city, the county magistrate recruited 500 young and strong men from force, and used weapons in the warehouse to arm it, which was enough to be a thousand. I don’t know whether these people could block the possible enemy troops, but at least it made the people in the city more stable and no longer had any resistance.

The walls of Yongtai County are not tall. If there were three thousand strong brigades, it would probably be almost done in half a day. However, Han Zaiwu and Gao Huichang led only more than 200 cavalrymen. In the plains duel, these thousand weak brigades were only two charges, but the attack was probably tortured. Originally, there were more than 300 people in the cavalry battalion, but in the last battle outside Quanzhou City, almost 100 cavalrymen were defeated, which made Sun Yu heartbroken. It was difficult to train both horses and cavalry. Now, except for these more than 200 cavalry, the remaining horses were given to the recruits for training, and it would be much easier to supplement in the future.

"Listen to the people above, my elders will lead a large army to come tomorrow. Those who know each other will open the door as soon as possible. Paul and others will have no worries about their lives. If they don't know how to raise their qualities, they will sacrifice their lives after entering the city!" Han Zaiwu and Gao Huichang had no choice but to make a fuss and try to talk.

"General, why are you all coming back?" The one who is in charge of the city is Lao Tan. Although Lao Tan is not young, he is the highest military rank in Minqing County. He has had battlefield experience and the county magistrate is considered to be aware of people and is good at responsibilities, so he handed over all the defense to him.
