The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 150

"What, the county is trapped?" Xu Shifan looked at the panting messenger in surprise, with a shocked expression on his face.

"My lord, the enemy army is coming from the south. There is a Li character on the flag. They should be the rebels who occupied the southern counties before." The messenger said in panic, "The number of rebels is at least 3, and the county guard is afraid. The county is not safe, so I am specially ordered to come and ask for help."

With that said, he handed over the letter.Xu Shifan took a look at the letter, and couldn't help frowning.Now the county city has less than 3 troops, facing [-] people under the city, it is no problem to defend the city, but in the letter, the county guard has already confessed to him, because the Golden Werewolf was besieged for several months before, the supplies in the city and Defensive equipment consumed a lot, and it has not recovered until now.Now that the county city is under siege, the daily consumption of tens of thousands of people in the city is a huge number, which cannot last half a month at all.Therefore, the county guard implored him to lead his troops to come to support immediately, otherwise the county city would be destroyed and the lives would be ruined.

After reading it, Xu Shifan's face was gloomy, the sheriff thought it was too simple.At present, there are only more than [-] troops stationed at Polangguan. Even if the whole army goes south to rescue, they may not necessarily be opponents.Even if they were stationed in the city, it would only increase their mouths to eat. Once the rebels were besieged and failed to attack, wouldn't the whole army be defeated without a fight?
Seeing the hesitation on Xu Shifan's face, the messenger couldn't help being anxious, "My lord, it's not too late. If there is no support from your lord, the county will be breached. Please don't hesitate, lord!"

"What do you know?" Xu Shifan was distressed, and was urged by a messenger, and couldn't help being furious, "The other party has more than 3 people, and there are [-] cavalry on the side. You say, with our [-] troops , how to fight?"

"But, but, the county is in dire straits now. Once the rebels break through, we will really be rootless." The messenger said eagerly, "The enemy has broken through the county, and the next target must be here. When the time comes , can my lord still hold on?"

"You!" Xu Shifan was speechless at what he said, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "I didn't say no to rescue, but I just need time to make arrangements, how can I act so recklessly?"

"That's good, the villain will leave now, and please send troops as soon as possible." Seeing Xu Shifan's angry face, the messenger couldn't help shrinking his head, and hurriedly left.

Xu Shifan anxiously paced back and forth in the room, thinking.It is impossible for [-] soldiers to defeat the rebels, but the county and town have to be rescued.Otherwise, the responsibility for losing the land is also hard to shirk.What should we do?

With a flash of inspiration, Xu Shifan suddenly remembered the Hengshan Army in the north. In the battle that day, the opponent's powerful combat power impressed him deeply. Even in the case of being at a disadvantage in numbers, he was still able to severely damage his own army, and the battle ratio reached one to three. .If they can unite them to deal with the rebels, the odds of winning will be much higher.However, because of selfish desires, he had conflicts with them before, how can he open his mouth now?

Thinking of this, Xu Shifan couldn't help but go mad with regret. He shouldn't have listened to Zhang Yao's words at the beginning, otherwise, he wouldn't have to mobilize a large number of troops to defend the north, so that the troops in the county would be empty.Even now, if you ask them for help, you may not be able to ask for a support soldier.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Shifan finally decided to send people to Hengshan County for help, and the condition was to open the Polang Pass and allow them to enter.Since their hearts are towards the imperial court, they probably won't resolve their request just because of the previous conflict.Besides, once the rebels occupy Weiyuan County, they will face the threat of the rebels.Which is more important, Mr. Lin should be able to weigh the importance.

Handing the written request for help to Hengshan, Xu Shifan immediately ordered the army to assemble and prepared to lead 8000 troops to the south for support.There is no way around this, no matter what, the county must not fall down.As long as he leads the army southward, the rebels will need to divide their troops to defend against their own. At that time, they only need to garrison near the county town to form a corner, preventing the rebels from attacking the city with all their strength.As long as Hengshan agrees to send troops, then the situation will be reversed and the county will be surrounded.If Hengshan disagreed, he could only stick to the end until the imperial court sent reinforcements to the enemy's rear, then the rebels would naturally retreat without fighting.But, can the imperial court really send troops?Xu Shifan was very suspicious.

8000 men and horses marched southward in a mighty manner, marching all the way to the county.And in a valley fifty miles south of Shanyang County, a force of more than [-] soldiers and horses ambushed here, and countless scouts were distributed in various places in the mountain, closely watching the movement of the mountain pass.

Huang Wu'an looked indifferently at the crude map on the ground, which crookedly depicted the landscape of mountains and rivers fifty miles away.Nearby, the three generals gathered together, drinking wine and eating wild game, while chatting quietly, while looking at Huang Wu'an resentfully from time to time.

"Hmph! The surname Huang really doesn't know good and bad. I wanted to discuss military affairs with him with good intentions, but he refused." General Ma bit his flesh hard, and glanced at Huang Wu'an coldly, "This You obviously look down on us, do you really think you are a famous general?"

General Zhang sneered, "He is so proud, how could he think highly of us people. I think he wants to take all the credit for this time on himself, and he is afraid that we will share his military achievements."

"Whether we can win or not is another matter, but don't go back after losing a battle." General Pang said sinisterly, "I said, we should be more vigilant, and don't be led into a ditch by him. Nine thousand soldiers and horses are the foundation of our foothold, we must not compromise here."

"You are right. We must be careful in this battle. We must not be used as cannon fodder by the surname Huang. If the battle is not good, we should withdraw quickly." General Zhang stretched his head to look at the two, and said in a low voice.

"Understood!" Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

A day later, a cavalry scout rushed into the valley, headed straight to Huang Wu'an, and reported: "Report to the general, the Polangguan garrison is less than 8000 miles away, and the number is about [-]."

When Huang Wu'an heard the words, he suddenly stood up, "Okay, let the whole army get ready."

When the whole army was assembled, Huang Wuan looked around at the crowd and said in a cold voice: "The enemy army has appeared, and all the ministries are ready to go out immediately and prepare for an ambush. General Zhang, General Ma, General Pang, you all lead your troops to the scheduled ambush point, remember Don't show any flaws."

The three of them looked at each other and reluctantly answered "Yes".

Huang Wuan frowned slightly, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything, so he could only wave his hands, "Then go down and get ready."

After three hours, a black mass of people rolled towards the valley.Xu Shifan looked at this mountain, his heart trembled slightly, and he felt a little uneasy.Therefore, he ordered the whole army to be on alert, increase speed, and pass through this valley as soon as possible.

In a dense forest, Huang Wu'an looked coldly at the heavily guarded soldiers and horses below, with a slightly heavy expression on his face.This army has a heart of defense, so it's not easy to chew.If you attack at this time, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and if it is more serious, you will suffer heavy casualties.We have to wait until they let their guard down a little bit.Clenching the saber in his hand, Huang Wu'an took a deep breath, silently watching the soldiers and horses pass by slowly.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened suddenly, only to hear a sudden commotion from the enemy army ahead, "Ambush, there are ambushes in the mountains!" A sound of alarm suddenly sounded, causing a great chaos among the soldiers and horses below.

Huang Wu'an was taken aback, which friendly army showed its feet?But at this moment, it was too late for him to pursue the matter. The enemy had already discovered the ambush, so there was no need to hide.What's more, at this time, there was some confusion in the enemy army, and the fighter opportunity was fleeting, how could it be missed.

So, Huang Wu'an drew out his saber, drove his horse forward, and shouted, "Charge!"

The [-] cavalrymen behind them immediately moved, rumbling towards the enemy on the mountain road.
