Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Four: Surprise

The sky was getting darker and smoke rose from the wardrobe. Zhang Lihua curled up in the grass and did not move. There were too many people in the outpost. She only had one chance. She had to hit the horse with one blow and seize the road. In her place, she could clearly hear the conversation in the outpost. An officer in the uniform of a captain told his soldiers that they would not stay in this ghost place for long, and at most two or three days, they could return to the military camp. This meant that the encirclement of Hongniang was about to be completed, which made Zhang Lihua anxious.

After enduring the torture in his heart, he finally waited for the dark and windy middle of the night. A snoring sound like thunder came from the checkpoint. Except for a soldier on duty at the top of the outpost, the rest of the people were obviously asleep. Lying in the grass, Zhang Lihua stretched out her legs and waved her arms, curled up here for half a night, her hands and feet were numb, and she had to liven up her blood.

Carefully removed the crossbow from his waist, pressed the crossbow arrow, and lay on the ground, like a water snake. She quickly wriggled forward on the ground. While the soldier was facing her back, Zhang Lihua went from the hiding place to the outpost, and she was tightly pressed against the wooden wall. The crossbow in her hand slowly raised and aimed at the sentry on the top.

With a slight sound, the sentry fell down and fell to the top of the post with a bang. The outpost quickly rioted.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang Xiaoqi, what are you doing?"

The chaotic footsteps sounded, and some people rushed to the top of the whistle tower, and some people rushed to the door, with the sound of the long sword being sheathed. Zhang Lihua shot an arrow, and the man was like an arrow leaving the string, between several rises and falls. He had reached the place where the horse was tied, and he jumped onto the horse, and with a choke, he waved his sword to cut off the reins of the horse. He raised his hand, and two short arrows still in the crossbow shot out, and the two war horses were in the eye sockets of the two war horses next to him. The two war horses neighed and fell to the ground, and the horse's belly was pinched. The sword was raised, and the sword in his hand was raised. The sword light flashed, and the remaining war horse also fell in a pool of blood.

"Enemy attack!" A scream came from the outpost. Someone rushed out of the door, and he slapped the arrow and shot Zhang Lihua, who was running forward. The sharp arrow came from behind. Zhang Lihua leaned on the horse's back, knocking on the buttocks of the war horse, throwing all the feather arrows behind him.

Fifty miles away from Xiangzhou City, at the foot of the Huangyang Mountain. The camp of Hongniangzi was stationed here, and Xiangzhou City was within reach. The whole army was filled with joy that was about to succeed. Judging from the combat power shown by Xiangzhou Town Army and Baotao Guards in the early stage, it was really vulnerable. Xiangzhou City must be in chaos now. Perhaps the army was at the city and could be taken off with one blow.

The Hongniang was waiting for her left and right wings to arrive at Xiangzhou City, which was the beginning of the general attack. Before they arrived, she needed to clear the obstacles on the left and right sides of Xiangzhou City. Xiangzhou City was the city, and around him, there were a few Xiangzhou town troops stationed. Wan Jinji and Chen Ji had led their troops to clear these unnamed obstacles for two consecutive days. Judging from the results of the battle, the Xiangzhou town troops stationed outside had no will to resist, and the attacking army had not yet arrived. These small groups of troops had already retreated back to Xiangzhou City.

Hongniang was not ignorant of the army. She kept Suo Wenhai in Fukang and led 3,000 soldiers to guard. Fukang is now the logistics support base for her attack on Xiangzhou City. Food and grass from Ganzhou, Shanzhou and other places arrived in Fukang continuously. In addition, Suo Wenhai would also collect food and grass and civilians from the local area to ensure the logistics supply. From now on, everything went smoothly. The grain transport fleet from Fukang was endless every day, which made Hongniang let go of most of her heart. As long as the food and grass supply was kept up, she would have the confidence to capture Xiangzhou City. Yun Zhao hoped that she could maintain a riverside port in Xiangzhou, but now she wanted to take the entire Xiangzhou City. I believe that this gift would make Yunniang happy. After taking Xiangzhou, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, it could be connected.

The sound of a trumpet sounded outside. From the message conveyed by the trumpet, Hongniangzi knew that it was Markham Ki who had returned. She stood up and walked out of the tent. Sure enough, outside the gate, torches were like dragons, and teams of soldiers were walking into the camp in a row.

"Saint!" Mark Jinji jumped off his war horse and trotted to the Hongmao, "Is Chen Ji back?"

"I have returned before you!" The red lady looked at her with a smile, "How is it going, is it going well?"

Martin Ki flattered his mouth, "It's nothing to do. We are still far away from them, so they fled. This time it was not the army, but the Leopard Guard. I wonder why Yun Zhao praised Cheng Qun's guard so much? In my opinion, it was completely vulnerable. This kind of morale can fight. I don't know how they defeated the Mongolian army?"

"The Guard defeated the Mongolian army because it was the right time, place and people. Unexpectedly, the Mongolian army fell into the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops. The Mongolian army was mainly cavalry and relied on logistics at extreme times. Once surrounded, the logistics would be broken, and it was simply fish on the felt board." Hongniang smiled. "Defeating such an army can only say that Cheng Qun's personal strategic planning ability is superior. He really faces gongs and drums, how are they opponents of the Mongolian army?"

"Yes, Aslan must be unwilling to lose!" Markham Ki smiled, "But this time it's different. They have to fight us head-on!"

The Hongniang nodded, "You are right. Dayue has lost the people's hearts. Those who lose the people's hearts will lose the world. It will never be changed. We take root in ordinary people and get the support of these people, and we will naturally be invincible."

"Is there any news from Master Tiger?" asked Martin Ki.

"Not yet, maybe there is a bit of a thrust over there. Not only is there no news from him, but Huang Rui also has no messenger coming for three consecutive days!" said the Hongniang, "We have to wait a few more days. I have sent someone to inquire about their news. I should come back tomorrow!"

"Tiger Master is behind this time. I'll laugh at him when I come back!" Wan Jinji laughed and looked back at the gate. The soldiers had all entered the camp, and the heavy gate was slowly closing.

"Wait!" Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and a sharp shout came from the distance, "Wait!"

Hongniangzi and Wanjinki looked over in shock. Under the reflection of the fire in the camp, a war horse was rushing towards him. When he was hundreds of steps away from the gate, the war horse fell to the ground and struggled a few times. His huge head fell down. Hongniangzi and Wanjinki were both experts. He knew at a glance that the war horse was actually exhausted. The horse knight jumped off his horse and rushed towards the gate when the war horse fell to the ground.

"Wait a minute!" even shouted loudly while running. In the camp, dozens of war horses immediately snatched out of the camp. On the sentry stalls on both sides of the gate, the crossbows were also lifted up, and the soldiers at the gate alertly raised their spears.

"I am Zhang Lihua. I know you saints. I have urgent military information to see her!" Zhang Lihua, surrounded by war horses, raised her arms high, looked at the cavalry around her, and shouted loudly. At this time, her hair was scattered, her face was covered with dust, and she could hardly see her original face. Her whole body was like washing, and she was panting rapidly.

"Zhang Lihua?" Hong Niangzi was shocked, "She is Yun Zhao's subordinate, why did she appear here? Let's take a look!"

The cavalry separated and Hongniang appeared in front of Zhang Lihua. Looking at the dirty and messy visitor in front of him, Hongniang asked in confusion: "Who do you think you are?"

"Saint, I am Zhang Lihua. We met a year ago. In Ganzhou, we escorted Qin Rounniang and Li Si that time, but we were rescued by the Three-eyed Huhu Master. Later, we arrived in your camp. Do you still remember me?" Zhang Lihua looked at Hongniang and hurriedly described the situation of the two meetings. Guo Feng was in charge at that time. She had only met Hongniang once, and she was afraid that Hongniang would not remember her anymore.

"Zhang Lihua, it's you! Why are you here? You came at Yun Zhao's order?" After hearing Zhang Lihua's narration, Hong Niang immediately confirmed the other party's identity.

"Saint, I have an emergency military report!" Zhang Lihua looked at Hong Madam, and after saying this, she immediately closed her mouth tightly!

The Hongniangzi looked at each other and saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

"Let's go, go to my big tent!" said the Hongniang.

Entering the big tent, Zhang Lihua stared at Hong Niangzi and said word by word: "General Yan, you can't wait for the left and right wings of the Three-eyed Tiger and Huang Rui! Xiangzhou is a bureau, and it is the trap set by Cheng Qun to encircle you under the city of Xiangzhou!"

"What did you say?" The Hongniang stood up suddenly, looked at Zhang Lihua, her eyes full of disbelief.

"General Yan, I am a member of the Fangsi, the General Office of the North Governor's Office. I was in Jingzhou and accidentally received information. So I came here with all my talents. Xiangzhou is not only the Baotao Guard, but also the leading guards. Cheng Qun secretly assembled two elite troops of more than 50,000 guards in Xiangzhou. In addition, the Xiangzhou Town Army, the troops he could use had reached 100,000. Cheng Qun himself was in Xiangzhou City. On the way to come, I captured several messengers from the other side. The Three-eyed Tiger Tiger Master was defeated in Shenwu. I am afraid that few of the three thousand cavalrymen could escape. The one who defeated him was Liu Huajian, the commander of the leader guard. Now Shenwu and Taikang's road to here has been blocked by the entire line. I was lucky enough to sneak over. General Yan, retreat immediately. Xiangzhou is absolutely terrible!"

The Hongniang shook a few times, and she was dizzy and fell on the chair. "You mean that our troops on both wings have failed. They are running from Shenwu and Taikang to Fukang, breaking my way back?"

"Yes, General Yan, retreat immediately. We must return there before they occupy Fukang, otherwise we will not be able to leave if they occupy Fukang!" Zhang Lihua said anxiously.

Martin Ki looked at Zhang Lihua with doubt in his eyes.

"General Zhang, thank you for your hard work, you go and rest first, I, I want to calm down!" The Hongniang waved her hand, "Pharm, please let General Zhang go and rest."

"General Yan, time is endless!" Zhang Lihua said anxiously.
