Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 693 - 693: Reinforcements (Part 2)

The reason why Miao Youfang put down his bow and arrow and realized that there was something wrong with these people was not because of his wisdom, but because the warrior's crisis premonition did not respond.

This shows that the group of flying beast soldiers had no hostility.

"Isn't it right?"

Xu Erlang raised his hand to block the centurion who wanted to forcibly escort him away, and looked sideways at Miao Youfang.

Miao Youfang described the characteristics of the group of people and explained:

"They have no hostility."

After listening, Xu Erlang immediately made a judgment:

"Southern Xinjiang people?"

Dark skin, naturally curly hair, blue and blue clothes mixed with animal skins.

Whether it was recorded in the book or seen with his own eyes (referring to Lina), Xu Erlang could determine that the people who came were from Southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang people, could it be... Miao Youfang slapped his head and said ecstatically:

"I understand!"

He did not explain, threw away the bow and arrow, stood on the parapet, and excitedly waved his arms at the approaching flying beast army.

The leading flying cavalry saw the response, drove the flying beast away from the team, and swooped down to land on the top of the city, while the other flying cavalry hovered over the top of the city warily, keeping a distance.

"Whoosh..."

The strong wind raised by the membrane wings blew away the gravel and sand, and the black-scaled beast landed on the horse road and slowly folded its membrane wings.

Miao Youfang ran to meet it and asked in a hurried tone:

"Are you from the Gu tribe?"

The middle-aged man on the back of the black-scaled beast said:

"My name is Tamo, the commander of the flying beast army of the Heart Gu Department. I came to support Qingzhou on the order of Chief Chun Yan..

"The Heart Gu Department has reached an agreement with Xu Yinluo. "

The Central Plains Mandarin was not spoken in standard language, and Miao Youfang listened to it three times before he understood it.

Sure enough, he invited them...Miao Youfang breathed a sigh of relief. He and Xu Qian'an parted on the way to the Gu tribe. The Gu tribe's army appeared at this moment and had no hostility towards the Dafeng garrison.

Using toes to think, one can also figure out that these people are the reinforcements brought by Xu Yinluo.

Miao Youfang turned around and nodded to Xu Erlang, indicating that he was safe and reliable, and then waved.

Xu Erlang came to Miao Youfang under the escort of the vigilant centurion.

"I told you that Xu Yinluo and I parted on the way to the Gu tribe." Miao Youfang explained casually and said excitedly:

"They are the reinforcements found by Xu Yinluo. "

The reinforcements that Xu Yinluo had called for... The centurion was stunned.

Miao Youfang shouted loudly, and the defenders in the distance, who were originally alert and hostile, were stunned.

Xu Erlang looked at the southern Xinjiang man on the back of the giant beast. He had a dark complexion, thick lips, and a thin but not weak body. On the contrary, his tight muscles were explosive.

Xu Erlang's eyes flashed, and he asked calmly:

"Did my eldest brother ask you to come?"

"This is Xu Yinluo's cousin." Miao Youfang interrupted.

When Tamo heard this, Xu Erlang's eyes were different, respectful and flattering:

"Yes."

Xu Erlang nodded and said casually:

"How did you find this place? "

Under normal circumstances, the eldest brother would definitely send the Gu tribe's reinforcements to Qingzhou City and contact the high-level officials of Qingzhou first. There is absolutely no reason for them to come directly to Songshan County.

He pretended to ask casually, but in fact he was testing the reaction of this self-proclaimed Xin Gu tribe Tamo.

"Xu Yinluo asked us to come here, and he also gave us a map of Songshan County." Tamo said as he took out a map from his arms: "Although I came to Dafeng many years ago, I still took the wrong road on the way. I should have arrived last night."

He glanced at the Dafeng flag on the top of the city and said thankfully:

"Fortunately, I am not late."

The eldest brother asked them to come to Songshan County... They were saved, Songshan County was saved, and the people were saved... Xu Erlang closed his eyes and his body trembled slightly.

He took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions in his heart, nodded gently, and said:

"How did the eldest brother know that I was in Songshan County. "

This is indeed in line with the eldest brother's style.

I just don't know how the eldest brother knew that he was stationed in Songshan County.

Tamo shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

He then asked:

"Then can we land?"

Seeing Xu Xinnian nodded, he looked up and blew a whistle.

The flying beast army hovering in the sky received the order, lowered its altitude in an orderly manner, and landed steadily on the top of the city. But because there were too many black-scaled beasts, most of them could only land under the city wall.

A soldier in the distance, holding a weapon in his hand, approached carefully and asked:

"Lord Xu, I just heard General Miao say that they are the reinforcements invited by Xu Yinluo?

"Brother, the brothers all want to know if it is true."

Xu Xinnian's eyes swept over him and saw several injured soldiers gathered together in the distance, looking at him eagerly.

Retracting his gaze, Xu Xinnian looked at the young soldier and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, these are the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department, the reinforcements invited by Xu Yinluo."

The young soldier's face suddenly trembled, and he was trembling with excitement. Tears accumulated in his eyes and rolled down.

Miao Youfang jumped onto the parapet, his eyes swept from left to right, sweeping the black-scaled beasts on the top of the city, and then overlooking more black-scaled beasts below.

There was a light in his eyes, flashing with water.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his sore nose, and roared:

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, Xu Yinluo has invited reinforcements for us. We also have the Flying Beast Army."

The voice echoed.

The excitement suddenly exploded in the hearts of the defenders and militiamen, and then set off a noisy wave of voices.

Some people murmured with tears in their eyes: "We are saved."

Some people were excited and their faces flushed, roaring loudly.

Some people were so excited that they danced and cheered.

After the militiamen under the city learned about the situation, they excitedly ran along the streets and alleys to tell each other.

Tell the people in the city that reinforcements have arrived, and it is the reinforcements brought by Xu Yinluo.

For a time, cheers echoed everywhere in the small county.

Xu Xinnian took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said:

"Sir Tamo, the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department has come from afar, and I should have arranged accommodation for you, but speed is of the essence, and the opportunity for war is fleeting."

Tamo patted his chest:

"What do you want, Lord Xu?"

......

When Zhuo Haoran received the report from the scout, he was playing with camp prostitutes in the military tent. Some of these women were captured during the march, and some were beauties looted from various counties when conquering the first line of defense in Qingzhou.

Even the great general Qi Guangbo could not say anything about robbing women to accompany the camp.

Because camp prostitutes are an indispensable part of an army.

For those in power, the necessity of camp prostitutes is to boost morale and relieve the boredom of soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

This is particularly effective when it is not conducive to war.

Hundreds of flying beasts? !

Upon hearing the news, Zhuo Haoran's first reaction was that the scouts lied about the military situation.

When did Qingzhou have such a large flying beast army?

It was simply a fantasy.

He immediately pulled up his pants, carried his weapons and ran out of the barracks, flew into the air, and looked at the city wall from a distance.

After seeing it with his own eyes, he had to accept this "absurd" news.

The top of the city was full of black-scaled giant beasts with folded membrane wings.

"When did Qingzhou have such a large flying beast army?"

Zhuo Haoran clenched his fists, and his face was twitching.

As the city was about to be broken, the defenders suddenly received hundreds of reinforcements from the Flying Beast Army. Zhuo Haoran was so angry that his chest was about to explode. He quickly landed and returned to the barracks. The first order he issued was to retreat.

There were only more than thirty Suzaku soldiers in the camp, and they were simply unable to compete with the Flying Beast Army of the defenders.

Whether they admitted it or not, the situation had reversed, and now they should flee.

There was no other way except to retreat.

The barracks suddenly became chaotic. The few hundred soldiers who remained dropped everything at hand, abandoned all their supplies, rode fast horses, and led by Zhuo Haoran, ran out of the barracks and left in a cloud of dust.

More than thirty Suzaku soldiers flapped their wings and flew away quickly.

But what Zhuo Haoran didn't expect was that just as he retreated, a deep roar came from behind him.

The cavalry looked back and were so scared that their hearts and gallbladders were about to burst. In the sky behind them, the black mass of Flying Beast Army was surging like a dark cloud.

The black-scaled beast flapped its membrane wings and quickly caught up with the cavalry. The heart poison masters on its back roared loudly.

In an instant, the well-trained war horses completely lost control and knelt on the ground while running. People and horses rolled and fell together, and the scene was in chaos.

The heart poison masters threw shells and kerosene barrels downwards, or bent their bows and pulled the strings, pouring arrows on the defeated army below.

"Xu Xinnian!"

Zhuo Haoran roared to the sky.

All six thousand elite soldiers were lost in Songshan County, and his half-life of wisdom was destroyed in an instant.

.......

Half an hour later.

In the half-collapsed urn city, Xu Xinnian sat behind the desk, looked around at everyone, and smiled:

"The Flying Beast Army wiped out 300 enemy cavalry and captured 28 people. It wiped out 20 Suzaku Army cavalry, captured three people, and eight cavalry escaped.

"Zhuo Haoran and his deputy fled and disappeared. "

Xu Erlang did not expect the Flying Beast Army to capture a fourth-rank warrior, as it was too difficult. The current results were already very gratifying.

Present were the only two centurions left in the garrison, Zhu Jun, Miao Youfang, and Tamo, the leader of the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department.

After listening to Xu Erlang's "report", everyone was full of joy, sweeping away the dejection.

"I really didn't expect that Xu Yinluo, who was in southern Xinjiang, could make plans and win thousands of miles away."

"Nonsense, don't you think that Xu Yinluo is a master of military strategy who wrote military books."

The two centurions talked excitedly, worshipping Xu Qian'an as a god.

Zhu Jun, who was serious, also smiled.

Xu Erlang looked at Tamo and said with a smile:

"The Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department has solved Dafeng's urgent needs. I will write a letter later, and you can take it to Qingzhou City. Let Yang, the governor, take care of the alliance. "

The alliance between the Gu tribe and Dafeng is still a "verbal promise" at present. Yang Gong needs to write to the court and get the official document. Only when the court agrees, it will be valid.

In Xu Erlang's view, the court is what he wants, but the procedures must be followed.

"If Yang, the governor, knew that Xu Yinluo brought back 500 flying beast soldiers for Qingzhou, he would be ecstatic."

Zhu Jun's smile deepened.

Tamo seemed to remember something and said:

"I forgot to say that in addition to our Xin Gu tribe, there are also brothers from Li Gu Shi Gu and An Gu."

In the city, the laughter suddenly stopped.

Xu Xinnian's breathing became rapid, and he stood up with the help of the table:

"Any more? How many? Where are they?"

Tamo pondered for a moment and said:

"The three tribes are united, and there are probably more than a thousand people.

"As for where we are, I don't know. After we left Southern Xinjiang, we split up. After all, the flying cavalry can't carry so many people."

The three Gu tribes have more than a thousand people in total... Xu Xinnian and others became excited.

Anyone who has known about the Battle of Shanhaiguan should understand how difficult the Gu tribe's warriors are.

Although the Gu tribe has a small population and cannot be compared with the hundreds of thousands of Dafeng's army, they have made the Dafeng army suffer a lot in the Battle of Shanhaiguan with their strange and difficult Gu techniques.

If they can be used well, these more than a thousand Gu tribes, plus the five hundred flying beasts, will definitely shine on the battlefield.

Xu Xinnian's face flushed with excitement, and his fingers trembled slightly as he held the pen:

"I will write a letter to Yang Buzhengshi now."

He turned his head and said to the deputy general: "You go back to Qingzhou City with Tamo."

Soon, Tamo carried the Dafeng flag on his back, drove the black-scaled flying beast alone, left Songshan County, and flew towards Qingzhou City.

........

Two days later, in the lobby of the Provincial Administration Office.

Yang Gong looked down at the map spread out in front of the table, staring at the three words "Songshan County", and said in a deep voice:

"We must be mentally prepared for the loss of Songshan County."

Li Mubai and other staff members were in a heavy mood.

Although the scouts sent out have not yet replied, it is easy to guess the result by comparing the troop deployment in Songshan County and the enemy's lineup.

Li Mubai sighed:

"The reinforcements are ready to go. As long as the scouts send back detailed information, they can immediately send troops to Songshan County and recapture the city."

Based on the overall situation of the second line of defense, everyone made a plan to save Songshan County first. The reason is simple. Dongling has turned into a field battle, which can advance and retreat, so there is no need to worry.

Wan County was besieged by the main force of the Yunzhou rebels, and the Flying Beast Army was hovering overhead. If you want to relieve Wan County's predicament, you don't know how many troops you need to fill in, and it is not certain that you can save it.

In comparison, retaking Songshan County is the wisest move.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army has just occupied Songshan County, it is impossible for the Yunzhou army to reach Songshan County and garrison in a short time. At this time, there is a great hope to retake Songshan County.

Then deploy troops in Songshan County and defend it to the death to keep the last stronghold of the second line of defense.

"Erlang is well versed in military tactics and is not a pedantic person. He should not die in the city." Li Mubai prayed in his heart.

Yang Gong looked around at everyone:

"What good ideas do you have for dealing with the Flying Beast Army?"

An aide said:

"The best way to deal with the Flying Beast Army is to have a Flying Beast Army."

He paused and said: "In addition, modifying the bed crossbow to fire into the air may be able to restrain the Flying Beast Army. If the enemy and our combat power are not too different, it is also a good idea to let the fourth-grade masters attack."

As he was speaking, an official hurried in and said loudly:

"Sir, there is a flying cavalryman carrying a big Feng flag outside the city, claiming to be a member of the Gu tribe."
