"It's not like the Dragoon Division was in Shanxi and fought a battle with the army sent by Yulin Town. Why did it arrive in Yongning in a blink of an eye?" He Qianyou looked at the smoke and dust left after the Dragoon Division left and muttered to himself Said.
Yang Fan, who was standing nearby, heard what he said and said: "Almost everyone in the dragoons is equipped with a horse, and the transfer speed is fast. It would be great if our first combat division could also have so many horses."
"I heard that when the dragoons were formed, they almost emptied the horses of several Mongolian tribes on the right wing. If several combat divisions were equipped with a large number of horses, I am afraid that the tribes on the entire grassland would not be enough." He Qianyou said.
Yang Fan withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go. Although Yongning City has been saved, there are still many things that you and I need to do."
As he spoke, he patted He Qianyou on the shoulder.
"Before Wu Shizheng left, he said there was still fighting in the rear. Aren't you curious?" He Qianyou asked as he followed Yang Fan as he walked forward.
Yang Fan said: "You haven't noticed that the number of officers and soldiers who came to attack Yongning City this time is much less than the previous two times. I suspect that the Dragoon Division is going to deal with those officers and soldiers who did not come to Yongning City."
The two people walked further and further away, and their voices became quieter and quieter.
Go back one or two hours ago.
A place twenty miles away from Yongning City.
The First Battle Division of Tiger Character Banner marched towards Yongning City.
"Report, there are traces of a large number of officers and soldiers on the mountain ahead." The sentinel of the Tiger Flag brought back the news from the front.
Staff officer Qin Rong said to Chen Xunping on the side: "It seems that the officers and soldiers did not clean up the sentry yesterday, and the officers and soldiers discovered our traces. They set up an ambush, waiting for us to take the initiative to come."
"The army is coming all the way, we can't hide it." Chen Xunping took a puff of his cigarette.
Qin Rong said: "Do you still want to move on?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to rest here. They want me to enter the ambush ring, but I won't go in." Chen Xunping knocked the ashes from his pipe.
Qin Rong said: "What should we do in Yongning City? An army of fifty thousand is besieging the city, and there is only one thousand soldiers stationed in Yongning City. Once the army attacks the city regardless of casualties, they may not be able to hold on for long."
"Didn't the Dragoon Division go to support? As long as the Dragoon Division is here, nothing will happen. We have to believe in Lao Wu." Chen Xunping said with a smile.
Qin Rong sighed and said: "I hope the Dragoon Division can rush over in time, otherwise Ning Yongcheng will be in trouble."
"They have four legs that are faster than ours. Even if they take a detour, they will reach Yongning City before us." Chen Xunping was full of enthusiasm for the dragoon division in his words.
Soon, the military order spread throughout the entire First Battle Division.
The army began to station in place.
Jiang Yingzhao, who was hiding in the mountains, waited left and right, but did not wait for the army of the Tiger Flag to arrive.
He asked his own soldiers to find a sentry and asked: "It's not that the thieves are already nearby. It's been half an hour. Why haven't you seen them yet?"
"Youngster, I don't know." The detective lowered his head.
"Get out, get out, get out, hurry up and find out where the traitors are?" Jiang Yingzhao looked unhappy when he saw the look of the sentry, and kicked him out.
The lieutenant who was standing by came up and said: "It stands to reason that Yongning City is under siege, and the thieves will either not save it or send any soldiers. Since we have sent troops now, we should rush to rescue Yongning City." right."
"Then just wait. I want to see when the main force of the bandits will arrive." Jiang Yingzhao picked up his pipe and lit the tobacco inside with a fire stick.
He took a deep breath in his mouth and let the tobacco burn completely.
The deputy general said: "General, are you worried about what the traitors will find?"
"What can we do if we find out?" Jiang Yingzhao curled his lips disdainfully, "Man Gui has already led an army of 20,000 to attack Yongning City. Maybe he has captured Yongning City by now."
The lieutenant general who was sitting on the stone moved his butt back and said, "That's right. The rebels should be more anxious than us. After all, Yongning City may fall into our hands at any time."
It didn't take long for the several teams of sentinels sent out to return to the mountain with injuries.
The leader of the sentinel team came to see Jiang Yingzhao alone.
"General Qi, a large number of bandit soldiers were found about five miles away. They should be the main force of the bandits. However, the bandit army is not marching, but is resting." The commander told Jiang Yingzhao the news found by the sentry.
Jiang Yingzhao frowned when he heard this.
The deputy general on the side said: "Why do the traitor generals order the army to rest at this time? Aren't they afraid that Yongning City will fall? And it's not even noon, so it's too strange to rest at this time."
"I'm afraid they discovered us." Jiang Yingzhao snorted.
The deputy general said: "How could the rebels find us? We hid in the mountains in advance, unless the rebels had someone hiding in the mountains from the beginning and discovered the traces of the army in advance."
"It's the sentry. Our sentry sent out and met the sentry of the bandits." The commander standing below said.
Snapped!
The lieutenant slapped his hand on the stone surface and said bitterly: "You still know how to use a sentinel to find the way. This is not the style of a rogue bandit."
"This bandit cannot be regarded as an ordinary bandit. General Zhao suffered a loss at the hands of this bandit, which shows that there are experts like Dong Bing among the bandits." Jiang Yingzhao looked very calm.
Moreover, this is not the first time that the sentinels in the army have fought against the sentinels in the bandit army.
The deputy general looked at Jiang Yingzhao and said, "What should we do? Since the bandits know that there is an ambush on the mountain, they can't take the initiative to throw themselves into a trap!"
"Wait!" Jiang Yingzhao said, "Since the rebels have not retreated, it means they still want to rescue Yongning City. Now we have to fight for patience with the leader of the rebels to see who can bear it first."
The lieutenant general said: "We have brought nearly 30,000 troops this time, and the rebels have less than 20,000. We have the advantage, so we might as well take the initiative and take the main force of the rebels by force."
"There's no rush, we have time. Don't forget that the longer it takes, the easier it will be for Man Gui to capture Yongning City." Unlike the deputy general on the side, Jiang Yingzhao's face was calm and he could not see any urgency.
Seeing this, the deputy general could only wait patiently.
Time passes little by little.
After about half an hour, the deputy general stood up and walked around, looking down the mountain from time to time.
"Be patient." Jiang Yingzhao reminded the other party.
Just then, someone ran towards them.
As he was getting closer, he heard someone shouting: "The general is in trouble, something big has happened, general."
The deputy general who was walking back and forth heard this and walked forward quickly and asked: "Speak quickly, what happened?"
"Thieves, a large number of thieves have been discovered." The visitor said breathlessly.
Jiang Yingzhao suddenly stood up from the ground and said, "The thieves are down the mountain?"
"No, no, it's another band of thieves who went to Yongning City." The visitor finally finished his words.
Hearing this, Jiang Yingzhao's expression suddenly changed.
