Chapter 823 Raid
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, steamed buns and flowers are added.
Just two days before New Year's Eve, the New Year atmosphere in Taiyuan City is already full of the new year, and every household is waiting for the arrival of the New Year. However, for the officers and soldiers of Yusuohu Lake, the closer the year is, the more they are, the more they are restless they are.
On the morning of the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, it snowed.
The snow stopped until noon and was distributed in tents of all sizes on the east bank of Yusuo Lake. The roofs were covered with a layer of snow. Except for the soldiers who were patrolling routinely, most of the officers and soldiers hid in the tents and roasted fires.
The weather was getting colder and the depressed morale of the officers and soldiers made their bodies even colder.
Everyone wants to have a reunion year with their family, but for the officers and soldiers of Yusuohu Lake, it is undoubtedly a luxury. They don’t even know whether they can leave Yusuohu Lake alive and return home to see their relatives.
There were only about a thousand officers and soldiers on the east bank, and several watchtowers were built by the lake. There was no shortage of people on the tower day and night, and they were always watching the situation in Yusuo Lake.
The commander in the east was the Yizhou Army's Lu Qianhu.
Lu Qianhu is nearly 50 years old and is a serious man. Almost all the thousands of soldiers and horses defending the east coast are Yizhou troops. Before leaving Yizhou, Lu Qianhu did not expect that the war would fall into such a situation.
For most officers and soldiers, at the beginning, everyone thought it was an action of countless hunters capturing one of their prey. Those who served in the army relied on such opportunities to accumulate some military achievements.
Before setting off, Lu Qianhu even delivered a speech, encouraging his Yizhou army to move forward bravely and to overshadow other state troops in the limelight, and even assured his soldiers that the war would end in just a few days, and the entire army would distribute rewards.
The Huang family is rich enough to rival the country. Everyone thinks that after defeating Huang Tianyi, there will be a generous seizure. It is naturally indispensable to enter the treasury and pay the imperial court. However, it is reasonable to draw a batch of rewards from it.
But his bold words now seem to be a laughing stock.
The war that ended in a few days has been delayed for more than a month. The most terrifying thing is that the Yizhou army, which originally wanted to be a hunter, now seems to be prey being watched by hunters.
Yusuo Lake has not been completely cleaned yet, and occasionally you can see the wreckage of warships floating in the lake, and you can even see the broken legs of the burnt broken limbs and broken legs floating to the shore.
Lu Qianhu's prestige in the Yizhou army has been seriously damaged. The closer the year is, the more dissatisfied the soldiers in the Yizhou army will become.
Just two days ago, when Lu Qianhu was patrolling the camp, he even heard soldiers talking about him behind his back, and some of them were even quite unpleasant. The guards around Lu Qianhu were about to kill the gossip soldiers on the spot, but Lu Qianhu stopped them.
He is not young and energetic, he is mature and polite, and can understand the feelings of soldiers.
In the past two days, he had almost never left the camp. He was just a little ashamed. Several generals under his command took turns to drink with him. Thinking that New Year's Eve was about to be on New Year's Eve, nearly a thousand Yizhou troops would definitely not be able to leave Yusuo Lake, and could only celebrate the New Year here. So he had sent people to the head of the Ministry of War to prepare food for the New Year, and at least let the soldiers spend the New Year well by the Yusuo Lake to slightly alleviate the officers and soldiers' downward mood.
At dusk, several generals had left. Lu Qianhu was lying on a simple wooden couch, feeling a little dizzy. He was older and he could easily get drunk if he had drunk more.
In a daze, I suddenly heard a sound from outside the tent, "Report..." and the sound was long.
Lu Qianhu sat up and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
A soldier came into the account and reported: "Sir Qianhu, there is something happening in the lake!"
Lu Qianhu's body was shocked and woke up halfway. He pulled over the boots and pointed at the armor on the wooden frame, "Hurry, I'll put it on." The soldier stepped forward to serve Lu Qianhu and put it on. Lu Qianhu put his armor on the armor. Lu Qianhu put his sword on it, walked out of the big tent, and went straight to the lake.
At this time, many soldiers and generals had already received news by the lake, and they all came by the lake. Seeing Lu Qianhu coming, several generals hurriedly came forward. Someone had already said with a serious expression: "Sir, there is something happening in Yusuohu Lake!"
"What's the situation?" Lu Qianhu held the hilt of the sword with one hand and asked anxiously: "What's the matter with Huang Tianyi?" He saw a hint of panic in the faces of the generals, and knew that the last battle had left a huge shadow on the officers and soldiers.
"Their ship is moving." The general replied.
Lu Qianhu frowned, walked to the edge of the watchtower, and was about to climb the watchtower. Their side was dissuading him, but Lu Qianhu ignored him and went to the watchtower. He looked into the lake with the light of dusk. He vaguely saw the Huang family's ship moving. Looking at the movement, he seemed to be coming to the east coast. Seeing this, Lu Qianhu's face was slightly dizzy.
"Send the order, put the arrow on the string, unsheathed the knife, and the whole army is on guard." Lu Qianhu sternly said to the bottom of the watchtower: "Send people to inform the North Bank and the South Bank as soon as possible, and say that the Huang family is preparing to attack the East Bank."
The subordinates immediately sent an order, and while deploying soldiers, they sent people to ask for help.
There are also several watchtowers on Carp Island. Huang Tianyi was wearing a fox fur. He was standing on a watchtower and looking at the east coast from afar. Although his eyes were small, his vision seemed not bad. Seeing that the east coast was already crowded with black people, he was moving like an ant, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The watchtower was not small. Beside him, Huang Zhigui carried his hands on his back, thinking about something. Huang Tianyi laughed and said, "Lao Qi, we are right. These officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are no longer the Iron Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty twenty years ago. They are just a group of wine bags. Look, we are not doing well yet, they are already scared to death, hahahahaha..." Amid the laughter, he seemed very proud.
Seeing that Huang Zhigui was not speaking, Huang Tianyi turned his head over and saw that Huang Zhigui was thinking, and frowned and asked, "Lao Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Zhigui came back to his senses, looked at the shore, and asked, "Brother, this ghost man shouldn't have any trouble, right?"
"It shouldn't be." Huang Tianyi said: "Didn't you say that they would break the whole into pieces? I think they should be coming soon." He asked: "By the way, how long will it take to get the agreed time?"
"There is only half a stick of incense." Huang Zhigui frowned and said, "But there seems to be no movement there."
Huang Tianyi sneered: "If the Guifang people delay the big deal, I will turn around and let them not be left."
Huang Zhigui thought for a while and asked, "Brother, our task is to restrain the officers and soldiers and give Taiyuan enough time, but now this plan has changed, will it be...?"
"Lao Qi, Lao Qi, what do you want me to say to you?" Huang Tianyi frowned and said, "You are a smart man, why are you confused now? Do we really have to watch the bullshit General Mu take down Taiyuan City? He said he would hand over Taiyuan City to us, but I don't believe him. We and him are just using each other. He wants to use us to restrain the officers and soldiers, and we also want to use him to cause trouble behind to resolve our predicament. It was really a force for the situation to agree to cooperate with him at that time. Now we have joined forces with the Guifang people and have the strength to break through and fight to Taiyuan City. Naturally, we cannot miss this opportunity."
Huang Zhigui hesitated and said, "Brother, if we go to Taiyuan City at this time, will we...will there be a conflict with Tianmen Dao?"
"Are you scared?" Huang Tianyi's expression became cold, "Lao Qi, remember, this Anyi is not from Yingyuan, nor from Tianmendao, but from our Huang family. Our Huang family has worked hard here for several generations. Over the past twenty years, Anyi has been the object of our Huang family's palm. If he can't take Yingyuan, he will not even think of stealing our territory. What kind of climate can the evil demon sect really become? We must seize Taiyuan City before Tianmendao...!"
Huang Zhigui nodded slightly, and Huang Tianyi said earnestly: "Lao Qi, nowadays, our Huang family has no way out. No matter whether they want it or not, whether they can or not, we can only move forward. Even if we are broken into pieces, there is only one way. If we win, we will control Anyi and recruit soldiers and horses. In this chaotic world, we may not be able to compete for the world. At that time, we will kill Luoan and cut Yingyuan's head as a urinary. I will share this world with my seventh brother. If we lose, hehe, it is only a life. We have died in Taiyuan before, and now this life is picked up for a try."
Huang Zhigui's eyebrows were originally locked, but at this time it slowly stretched out and said, "The northwest is restless, the war in the southeast is plagued, the Liaodong is in chaos, the Hebei is in chaos... The court has no wealth anymore. The eldest brother is right, so let's take a try. The kings and princes are defeated, and even if we want to avenge, we have to bet a big bet!"
Huang Tianyi patted Huang Zhigui's shoulder and smiled and said, "This is my seventh brother. Brothers are united and their strength is to cut off gold. Lao Qi. With you by my elder brother's side, you and my brother will definitely be able to do something big."
Huang Zhigui smiled, his expression suddenly changed on his face, and he raised his hand, "Brother, look..."
Before Huang Tianyi turned his head, he had already heard the sound of killing sounds in a vague way. He turned his head and looked over and saw that the shore where people had just run around, and it was already in chaos.
"Brother, Gui Fangren has arrived." Huang Zhigui's eyes lit up, "They have already come."
Huang Tianyi also showed excitement on his face. The sky was dark, and he couldn't see clearly what the shore was like, but the sound of fighting was quite clear. You could even see the figures on the shore having already started fighting, with swords and swords, and the figures flashing. However, in this moment, the ghost people seemed to have completely rushed into the camp of the Yizhou Army.
"The Ghost Square people are indeed brave and good at fighting." Huang Tianyi touched his chin and said excitedly: "I am so brave. Although the Ghost Square people are so wild and stupid as a pig, they are still unambiguous when fighting." He turned around and said: "Our people can move too. If you rush over, the Yizhou army will definitely be vulnerable..."
